One divination a day, a trainee celestial master

Jiang Shou clenched his fists, his eyes filled with undisguised anger and shock: "This is a ghost marriage! And it's the highest-level 'one husband, three wives' arrangement!"

Everything is connected!

The good-for-nothing son of the county's political and legal affairs secretary died suddenly and mysteriously from a drug overdose. In feng shui, this kind of death is considered a violent one, meaning the son cannot be buried in the ancestral grave and may even ruin the family's official fortune and feng shui.

In order to preserve the family's fortune, and to ensure that their son, who died a violent death, could rest in peace in the afterlife and even continue to enjoy "wealth and honor".

This high-ranking official, with his immense influence, has gone so far as to bring in three innocent, beautiful young women!

They tortured them to death, dressed them in bright red wedding gowns, and used extremely cruel methods to seal their souls within their bodies. All this was to provide this dead playboy with an utterly cruel "ghost marriage"!

The sinister old man in the basement holding a copper bell and a soul-summoning banner is definitely the one who performed and hosted this vicious ghost marriage!

"Those beasts!"

Jiang Shou gritted his teeth, a rare, raging fury burning in his eyes.

To treat human life so lightly, even using living people to arrange ghost marriages! This kind of ruthless disregard for human life is more chilling and disgusting than any real demon or monster!

"Redeem the wronged and quell the resentment..." Jiang Shou silently recited the solution given by the Suihan Decree.

The three girls were dressed in bright red wedding gowns, which were inherently extremely yin and malevolent. Once they were completely transformed into vengeful ghosts in red, with his current cultivation level of only the first bud of Qi, he would probably have a hard time containing them.

We must clear their names and quell their overwhelming resentment before the red-clothed vengeful ghosts fully materialize.

Logically speaking, if we call the police now, uncover the shocking crimes hidden in this basement, and bring the murderers and their protectors to justice, wouldn't the three poor girls be exonerated?

But with these three young girls disappearing and dying one after another, didn't the local police notice or investigate at all?

Suddenly, a dashing figure in a police uniform, swaying with astonishing curves, appeared in Jiang Shou's mind.

"For cases like this, only the most meticulous and fearless individuals can tear down this protective umbrella!"

……

It was past 11 p.m.

Inside the dormitory for single staff members of the Qiyun County Public Security Bureau.

Xia Qiu took off her sweat-soaked and tired police shirt and tossed it onto a chair beside her. Wearing a black sports vest, she collapsed heavily onto the soft single bed.

too tired.

For the past two weeks, she has been going through almost all the surveillance footage in the county to solve the case of the three young girls who went missing one after another. She has been sleeping less than four hours a day.

Even the strongest body can't withstand such extreme exertion. Xia Qiu rubbed her throbbing temples and decided that she had to force herself to rest tonight, to recharge her energy, and to revisit the three crime scenes tomorrow to see if she could find any overlooked clues.

She closed her eyes, just as she was about to let her consciousness drift off to sleep.

"Buzzing...buzzing..."

The phone on the bedside table started vibrating incessantly, completely oblivious to the situation.

Xia Qiu frowned in annoyance, forcing herself to suppress her fatigue, closed her eyes, reached out and fumbled for her phone, then held it up in front of her.

I opened one eye with some difficulty and glanced at the caller ID on the screen.

【Jiang Shou】?

Xia Qiu was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Why would this eccentric little Taoist priest call her in the middle of the night?

She pressed the answer button, held the phone to her ear, and said with a hint of helpless weariness, "Hello? Tell me, Master Jiang, what kind of help do you need in the middle of the night? Or have you found out that some feng shui is wrong again?"

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Shou's voice was unusually low, even carrying a sense of oppressive seriousness.

"Um... Captain Xia. It's like this, I need your help to find out something."

Jiang Shou paused for a moment and asked:

"Have there been any recent cases of young girls mysteriously disappearing or dying in the vicinity of Qiyun County?"

"Um?!"

The moment I heard those words!

Xia Qiu's exhausted eyes suddenly widened! As if electrocuted, she sprang up from the bed in a flash!

……

Midnight, Chengmen Road in the northern suburbs.

A plain black Volkswagen sedan, without its siren on, sped silently from the darkness of the night, finally slamming on the brakes under a large camphor tree by the roadside.

The car door opened, and Xia Qiu, wearing a black jacket over a sports vest, stepped out of the car.

She had just gotten out of bed, not even having had time to comb her hair properly, only casually putting it in a bun. But her usually cool and aloof peach blossom eyes were now bloodshot.

For the past few days, these three serial disappearances had been like a mountain weighing on her back. Now, suddenly hearing a clue from Jiang Shou, she felt like she had grasped at her last straw.

She spotted Jiang Shou standing under the streetlight immediately.

In the unseen void of summer and autumn, translucent Shen Xu floated lightly beside Jiang Shou.

Seeing this dashing and decisive female criminal police captain approaching, Shen Xu's curiosity was immediately piqued.

Instead of dodging, she playfully floated to Xia Qiu's side and started circling around her.

"Wow, Taoist brother, this policewoman is so beautiful." Shen Xu hovered in mid-air, and boldly approached Xia Qiu's bright and cold face. Then her gaze moved down and landed on Xia Qiu's chest, which was breathtakingly stretched by her tight-fitting undershirt.

Shen Xu looked down at her unremarkable neckline, then at Xia Qiu, and a hint of envy and frustration appeared on her pale ghost face: "No wonder you called her in the middle of the night, Taoist brother. That figure, that uniform... wow, even I, a female ghost, am confused by it."

As she spoke, Shen Xu playfully stretched out her semi-transparent finger, trying to poke the police rank insignia on Xia Qiu's shoulder.

"Ahem!"

Jiang Shou was so shocked by Shen Xu's utterly shameless and absurd remarks that he coughed repeatedly. He quickly glared at Shen Xu and gave her a stern warning with his eyes: Behave yourself! Don't move!

As Xia Qiu walked up to Jiang Shou, she felt the air around her suddenly drop by more than ten degrees Celsius for no apparent reason. A chilling coldness shot up her spine, making her instinctively hug her arms and rub them together.

"Why is the night wind so cold in the north of the city..." Xia Qiu muttered, then her expression turned serious, and she got straight to the point, "Jiang Shou, is what you said on the phone true? Where are those three missing girls?"

Jiang Shou subtly moved half a step to the side, creating distance between Shen Xu and Xia Qiu, before lowering his voice and saying, "Captain Xia, what I'm about to tell you might seem unbelievable, but I swear on my life that every word is true."

Jiang Shou pointed to the direction of the North Suburbs Villa District, a few streets away.

"Those three missing girls... they've been murdered." Jiang Shou's voice was extremely heavy in the night. "Their bodies are currently hidden in the basement of the villa belonging to Secretary Zhao of the County Political and Legal Committee in the North Suburbs!"

"What did you say?!"
