Heavenly Dao Formula

Half an hour later, a map of Jinxia City marking the evil cases in the past ten to twenty-five years was hung up.

In these records, there are 26 cases of monsters, 4 cases of ghosts, 15 cases of ghosts, and 1 case of ghosts, for a total of 46 cases.

If you look at these piles of cases separately, it's hard to see any connection between them, but when they put them on a map, Luo Youer and Wei Wushuang immediately found that the distribution of monsters is very messy, it can be said that they are everywhere, but ghosts and Charm marks are much more concentrated. The former are all located on the beach, the latter are four in the south of the city, five in the north of the city, and the rest are scattered in the outer city and surrounding countryside.

"It's so close..." Wei Wushuang exclaimed, "Brother Xia, what do you mean, these places where evil spirits frequently appear may be the enemy's hiding places?"

"That's right, human behavior can cause evil spirits to occur, and in turn, human behavior can be deduced from the amount of evil spirits."

Xia Fan used a pen glued with cinnabar to draw red circles on the above three places. "Most monsters are animals, so there is no pattern to follow in their distribution, but ghosts and ghosts are different."

The evil spirits they encountered in Qingshan Town were ghosts—dead consciousness, or lingering breath, which eventually triggered visions. It doesn't need the corpse itself, it can take shape by itself.

As for ghosts, which are often based on corpses, they are more aggressive and more difficult to form.

From the quantitative point of view, the ratio of the two also conforms to this characteristic.

As for why the cases from ten to fifteen years were chosen, the reason is also very simple. At least during that time, Gaoshan County was in a period of low incidence of evil spirits. Before the county magistrate died of illness, he probably did not choose to join forces with the Wang family. At the same time, Xia Fan believed that relics like the alpine grottoes could not be everywhere in Shenzhou.

If people can't be transported to another place for processing, Jinxia's evil cases will inevitably show an increasing trend. Once it is put on the scale of fifteen years, time will connect all the clues together.

"My lord, I think...the possibility of the Donghai Gang hiding on the beach is unlikely." After joining Xia Fan's team, Li Xing spoke for the first time. It can be heard from the wording that he is quite cautious. After all, in the past, he was a policeman, not an alchemist, and his identity was very different, let alone participating in a major mission of the Privy Council for the first time.

During the time he came to Jinxia City, what he did most was to supplement the knowledge related to evil spirits.

Xia Fan would not underestimate the other party because of his status, "Tell me what you think."

"Yes. Since the members of the Wu gang and the outer circle of the Donghai gang can't know its hiding place, then it must not be eye-catching. Either it is located underground, or it is hidden in the buildings." Li Xing said while thinking, "The beach The lower part is soft, not suitable for digging ditches and secret passages, while the upper part is flat and open, and people who burn salt often pass by, so the Donghai Gang probably would not choose to gather here."

"I think the reason why there are so many ghosts here is because the seaside is suitable for destroying corpses and leaving traces." He finally concluded.

"Destroy the corpse... Destroy the trace?" Luo You'er trembled.

"As long as you throw it into the water when the tide is high, the sea will take away the evidence, and even if it washes back later, the remains will probably be unrecognizable." Li Xing nodded, "In fact, not only the seaside, but also the great lakes, dark rivers, and even deep wells. Good choice—well, I mean, I deal with murders like this a lot."

Xia Fan smiled, and his thoughts coincided with the other party's, "Then there are two places left. It is not difficult to understand the evil at the pier. There are many gangs gathered there, and they often fight for the territory. The flow of people is complicated. It's really suitable for hiding."

"As for the south of the city..." Speaking of this, he also has some doubts. From the map, the south of the city is regarded as the "rich area" of Jinxia City. There are many restaurants and shops, and there are also many three-story green brick buildings and courtyards with walls. Unexpectedly, the evil incidents here are second only to the Embankment Wharf. "It doesn't look like a good hiding place."

"Then we mainly search the dock area?" Wei Wushuang asked.

"No, just to be on the safe side, let's investigate on both sides." Xia Fan made a judgment, "There are many people at the dock, and alchemists can easily be spotted even if they go there in disguise. I will leave it to Li and Shanhui to search over there. Watch out for dark alleys and guarded places."

"The south of the city is led by Zhao Dahai and Li Xing. According to the file records, check the location of the incident at that time. If you find anything suspicious, remember to come back and report to me immediately. Don't conflict with the enemy. The hideout of the Donghai Gang It is very likely that there are people who are sensitive in the place."

"Don't worry, you don't need to remind me of this. As long as there is any disturbance, I will definitely stay away." Zhao Dahai said with his ears clasped.

"The East China Sea gang has committed crimes in Jinxia City, full of crimes, which have seriously affected the safety of the city and the life order of the local residents. It should be the government's duty to bring them to justice, but under the protection of the Wang family, not only have they not been punished , but extended his hand to the surrounding counties.”

"Since the government does not take action, then the Privy Council will restore the law and order! This time, we will completely destroy the dens of the Donghai Gang and eradicate them!" Xia Fanlang said, "This investigation is called "Putting the Clouds". I am here waiting for good news from you all. So, to help everyone smooth sailing, start to act! "

"Yes!" Li Xing and others cupped their hands.

"Your boy... has grown up." Zhao Dahai smiled, and then walked towards the door, "Not to mention, Master thinks this alchemist robe is quite suitable for you."

Li was the last to leave.

Before that, she stared at a point on the map for a long time.

That was also the only case recorded as a demon among all the evil incidents.

According to the records in the file, the other party seemed to be a cat demon, who had been in the downtown area for a long time, and almost completely merged with the surrounding people.

Until she was discovered because of her collision with the messenger of the Privy Council.

The reason for the collision was not because of hatred or hostility, but simply because there was an urgent letter to be delivered at that time. After entering the urban area, the courier rode his horse all the way without slowing down. When passing through the downtown area, a child happened to stand in front of the horse.

For some unknown reason, the Recording Department did not hide this paragraph, but recorded it in full.

As a result, the child was rescued, the cat demon was injured, and the messenger had to stop the horse.

If this is the case, this accident may not attract too much attention.

But the child ran over to help the injured cat demon, and touched her tail hidden behind her. Shocked, he called out the discovery.

In the end, the cat demon was arrested by the Privy Council and executed in the downtown area.

Twelve years have passed since this incident, and neither the long street stained with demon blood nor the onlookers at that time are what they used to be.

Xia Fan wanted to say something, but Li stopped him with his eyes.

She seemed to be telling Xia Fan not to worry about her because of this kind of thing.

In those golden eyes, he seemed to feel an extremely complicated emotion, including anger, regret, and regret, but more... It was thanks to him.
