Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Chapter 169 Doubts

"Hey, stop looking. It's already daybreak. Are you sure you're really here?"

Jingzhi looked at the two people who were wandering around like headless flies and asked helplessly.

Wencai pushed aside the familiar bushes for the nth time, muttering to himself, "This is it, how come it's gone?"

Qiu Sheng was getting impatient with searching. He stretched out his body, then leaned lazily against the tree trunk and said:

"Maybe wild dogs have eaten it. You are finished this time. Master Uncle will definitely not forgive you."

Wencai turned around in panic, "Ah? You asked me to check your body. And...don't you always say that we share happiness and difficulties together?"

Qiu Sheng raised his hands and said, "Hey, you can't say that. I dealt with his soul, and you looked at his body. We were doing our own thing. I didn't make his soul fly away."

"Besides, you know your uncle-in-law. If he knew that you had ruined his son's health, I think..."

Wencai was so panicked that he started to stutter again: "What will he do to me?"

Qiu Sheng wanted to scare him again, but Jingzhi slapped him in the mouth.

"Speaking of that! It must have been you, my senior brother, who came up with the idea. Don't put all the blame on Wencai. With his limited brains and fighting ability, can he really beat a wild dog?"

"Besides, didn't Ah Jiu tell you not to act rashly yesterday? You're teasing Shi Shaojian privately, and you think you're justified?!"

Qiu Sheng covered his mouth, still indignant, "Last night the situation was urgent. If I hadn't taken action, Miss Qian would have been defiled immediately. There would have been no time to inform Master."

"You! ...Alas..."

Not knowing what to say to them, Jingzhi lowered his raised hand again, "I can't smell anything anyway, let's go back and ask Ah Jiu first."

When Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai heard that they had to go back to the charity cemetery to see their master, they both looked pale and waved their hands frantically.

Jingzhi: "...You're not going back? What are you going to do if you don't go back? Jiu has to know."

They both took a step back, and Wencai said, "If I can't find my body to go back to, my master will peel off my skin."

Jingzhi sighed, leaned one hand on the tree, and asked helplessly:

"So what do you want to do? Look for it again?"

Wencai: "It can only be done this way——"

Before he could finish his words, he was grabbed by the collar and forced to squat behind a tree.

Qiu Sheng pricked his ears, whispered "There's someone", and crouched down to hide in the nearby bushes.

As the man on the trail got closer, the eyes of the three people hiding in the bushes widened.

"that is not……"

As soon as Wencai uttered a word, his mouth was covered tightly.

Only after the man walked away did Jingzhi let go of Wencai.

Jingzhi turned around and asked quietly, "Are you sure you really saw his body being taken away by wild dogs last night? Are you too sleepy and hallucinating?"

That’s right, what the three of them just saw was Shi Shaojian who was unharmed.

Forget about the bite marks from wild dogs, there wasn't even a mosquito bite on his face.

Wencai began to doubt himself after being asked by Jingzhi. He scratched his head and thought for a long time, and finally nodded firmly.

"It's true. I really saw it, and the clothes he was wearing were not the same ones."

Wencai may be stupid, but there is no need for him to deceive everyone with such things.

When he said this, Jingzhi and Qiu Sheng frowned and said in unison, "Strange!"

Jingzhi thought about it and decided to tell Lin Jiu about this strange thing.

"Let's go back!"

Since Shi Shaojian was back to normal, the two of them did not resist this time and followed Jingzhi obediently towards the charity cemetery.

This location is close to the town entrance.

Before the three of them had taken a few steps, they heard someone beating a gong and shouting, "Murder, murder!"

By the way, it seems like Shi Shaojian just walked in from the town entrance, right?

Could it be that he killed him?

The three of them looked at each other, and then ran towards the town entrance at the same time.

……

The new captain of the security team stood on the flower bed on the street, looking down at the onlookers.

"There are strange symbols painted on the heads of these dead people. I heard that the person who is best at Qimen Dunjia in our town is Uncle Jiu from Yizhuang!"

"So I have every reason to suspect that Uncle Nine did this!"

Qiu Sheng had just sneaked into the crowd, squatted down and took a look at the corpse when he heard these words.

After secretly cursing the new captain for being a fool, he covered his face and quietly slipped out of the crowd.

Seeing Jingzhi and Wencai looking confused, he quickly twisted their shoulders and turned around, facing the new captain and the crowd, and urged them in a low voice:

"Hurry up and go! Something terrible has happened. Go back and tell Master!"

Jingzhi asked as they walked: "What do you mean?"

Qiu Sheng: "Those people were bitten to death. All the blood in their bodies was sucked dry!"

Wencai: "Zombies?"

Qiu Sheng: "I don't think they are zombies this time. There's no corpse energy on them, and there are talismans drawn on their foreheads. They are obviously sacrificed people from the Yin period. And our master is even under suspicion."

Jingzhi's eyes widened slightly, "Wow, you've made progress recently. You know so much?"

She added, "Why don't you suspect Shi Jian? Isn't he also in the next town?"

"I promised you last time that I would study hard." Qiu Sheng spread his hands. "Also, Master is suspected. Maybe because Master's image is more deeply rooted in people's hearts, Master Uncle doesn't come here often."

……

The three of them returned to the charity cemetery without stopping.

As soon as Qiu Sheng opened the courtyard door, he shouted inside, "Master, something terrible has happened! Several people born in unlucky years, months, and hours have died in this town! Talismans have been drawn on their heads, and the new captain has wrongly accused you of being the murderer!"

As soon as he entered the gate, he took his foot back and said, "Master, Master, Uncle Master, how come you have time to come here?"

Qiu Sheng felt so guilty that he didn't dare look directly into Shi Jian's eyes. He lowered his head and only dared to stare at the Wuji Bagua on the hem of his shirt.

"Can't I come?"

Qiu Sheng was stared at by those ruthless eyes, and his speech suddenly stuttered even more than Wencai's, "No, no, it's not."

There was no emotion in Shi Jian's voice or expression. "You just said that someone born on a yin day, yin month, or yin year died?"

"...Yes, the neck was bitten."

Qiu Sheng glanced at Shi Jian secretly.

Qiu Sheng: Why are you pretending? You might have done this, and you are still pretending.

Shi Jian took out a piece of paper and handed it over. "Didn't you say that a talisman was drawn on you? Write it down so I can see what kind it is."

Qiu Sheng didn't answer. Instead, he turned to look at Lin Jiu, who had a serious expression on his face. "Master, this, he..."

Lin Jiu nodded at him and said, "Draw it."

He added with a hint of meaning, "Your uncle already knows about this."

The blood color on Qiu Sheng's face instantly faded away. Not to mention catching the paper, he took several steps back.

Shi Jian snorted coldly and glanced at Qiu Sheng:

"Jian'er's problem is his own fault. I won't blame you."

"Since someone has harmed villagers and killed someone, just draw it first. We'll deal with his affairs later."

Qiu Sheng carefully examined his expression and, realizing he was serious, he couldn't help but bow to him.

"Wow, Uncle Master Dayi!" He took the paper and pen and said, "I'll draw right away!"

While painting, he kept muttering:

"Master, your son... Shi Shaojian is fine. We just saw him at the town entrance."

Shi Jian and Lin Jiu both came over to watch him draw. When the talisman was completed, combined with what Qiu Sheng said, Shi Jian's mind suddenly became confused.

He grabbed Qiu Sheng by the collar, his expression completely different from the calm and composed expression of a senior brother. "Where did he go?"

Qiu Sheng didn't dare to resist at all: "I, I didn't know. Someone in the town rang a gong and said someone had died, so we went to see."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Jian rushed out like a gust of wind, his steps full of panic.

Seeing him leave, Jingzhi picked up the paper on the table and looked at it carefully, then asked Lin Jiu:

"What kind of talisman is this? Why is he so panicked?"

Lin Jiu withdrew his gaze from the courtyard gate and sighed.

It's all fate. Harming others will eventually harm yourself.

"If Wencai didn't lie, Shi Shaojian should have been transformed into a demon by now."

"Those Yin-Shi people repaired his body, but it was only temporary. If he wants to maintain the status quo, he can only continue to kill and suck blood."

Qiu Sheng looked puzzled, "Master, where are there so many Yinshi people?"

Lin Jiu glared at Qiu Sheng, his face dark enough to drip ink. "Without the Yin-Time Man, his spearhead would be directed at normal people. He would just need to suck the blood of more people to be effective."

"what?"

"Then report it to the police immediately and have him arrested!"

Lin Jiu walked to the side of the altar, picked up a silver needle and turned around. "You also said that he acted like nothing happened. The captain couldn't tell right from wrong. Do you think he would believe it?"

Lin Jiu handed over the silver needle, "Now, poke his Yang point. Make sure everything is clear first."

Qiu Sheng took the needle that was over 20 centimeters long and couldn't help but sigh, "Wow, it's so long, it can be used as a weapon."

Lin Jiu glared, "Go quickly!"

"Oh!"

Qiu Sheng took two steps out and turned back to ask:

"Where can I find it?"

Lin Jiu: "In town, he should be looking for the Yin Shi people again. Look for him where there are many people."

"Okay, Wencai, let's go!"

……

Jingzhi looked at Lin Jiu, whose face was filled with worry, and couldn't help but lean over and hug him. "Don't worry, haven't they already gone out to look for him?"

Lin Jiu put his arms around her waist and sniffed the fragrance coming from her body. He felt the throbbing nerves in his temples gradually calm down.

He led her to the armchair next to him and sat down. "You don't know, I failed to summon the soul last night. I couldn't give the soul to my senior brother."

"Ah? How could this happen?"

Lin Jiu shook his head, also puzzled. "I don't know. Logically, as long as his soul is still floating outside, he will be attracted here as soon as I perform the ritual."

She looked at him twice, then tentatively asked a question that might shatter his three views, "Do you think... could it be your senior brother?"

Lin Jiu's face froze for a moment, and he couldn't say anything to refute her for a while, but doubts gradually arose in his heart.

His senior brother, why did you come so quickly last night?

He arrived almost as soon as the three of them left.

No, he still didn't want to believe that his senior brother would do such a thing.

That's his own son!

And his panic just now didn't seem fake...
