Chapter 49. The past of the Lu family
Seeing the situation in front of him, Jiang Yang was quite satisfied.
I wonder how the investigation by Tong Ling and others is going.
These few days should be enough to find out some information.
At this time, he heard the sound of horse hooves not far away, and saw a girl in yellow riding a red pony, coming towards this direction.
"Tong Ling?" Jiang Yang stepped forward in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Tong Ling pulled the reins and jumped off the horse nimbly: "I heard the waiter in the store said you were here, so I came here specially."
"Is there something new about the investigation?"
Tong Ling looked around and saw a few pedestrians nearby. She immediately said, "Let's find a place to talk."
"Then let's go to the river beach." Jiang Yang said, "There is a reed swamp over there. It's quiet and there won't be many people."
"Um."
Jiang Yang took the horse and the two of them walked along the river together.
She then said: "With the government, the identities corresponding to the names of those wooden figures have been found out."
"Every name written above is a missing person in the city."
When Jiang Yang heard Tong Ling's words, he thought that it was true. He had had such a guess in his mind before, but now it seems to be confirmed.
Tong Ling said: "The bodies of these people have never been found at the county government, so I suspect that someone used some evil magic to turn these people into those kind of black-robed weirdos."
Jiang Yang nodded.
He shuddered a little. These people were killed while they were alive. Even after they died, they had no peace and were continued to be enslaved.
He looked at Tong Ling beside him, a little scared. If he hadn't saved her that day, would she have become like that?
Nowadays, there are many places outside that are in chaos and chaos. All the way to Suhe County, we encountered many robbers, wild beasts and so on.
He had also seen robbers. When they robbed a carriage, the men and women were dragged out and killed, leaving no one alive.
But whether they are robbers or beasts, they are just trying to survive.
Compared to things like this right now, I'm afraid it pales into insignificance.
He stared at the sparkling surface of the Sushui River in front of him with deep eyes.
"We have also investigated the Lu family's house." Tong Ling continued, "We went there early that morning."
"It was easy to get in," she said a little disappointedly, "but I didn't find anything."
"I think everything inside may have been taken away, so I didn't encounter any obstruction when I went in this time."
"What about the Lu family?" Jiang Yang then asked, "Is there any investigation?"
"Yeah." Tong Ling responded.
"We have inquired with some families near the Lu family, and after inquiring we found that the Lu family's abandoned house is quite strange, and we don't know if it is related to it." Tong Ling said, "The Lu family in the city was originally quite wealthy.
A family in Suhe County, and the master of the Lu family is a well-known philanthropist in Suhe County."
"It's just that later I heard that the son of Mr. Lu was involved in a major murder case. Mr. Lu secretly spent money to deal with it, but he was reported and went to jail himself."
"It was later said that the daughter of the Lu family went crazy for some unknown reason and killed all thirteen members of her family before escaping. The officials searched the city and outside, but no one was found."
"What happens next?" Jiang Yang asked quickly.
Tong Ling shook her head: "Later on, the clues were lost. I heard that Mr. Lu died of anger in prison. The young master of the Lu family was beheaded. As for the daughter of the Lu family, it was as if she had disappeared. No one has found her again."
Jiang Yang frowned.
The Lu family's daughter went crazy and ran away, but no one from the government found her.
The female ghost in red inside the Taoist temple dropped a jade with the word "Lu".
What if the female ghost in red in the Taoist temple is the daughter of the Lu family?
At this time, he recalled the overwhelming resentment when he met the female ghost in red that day, and vaguely felt that there was something unusual about it.
If he had killed thirteen members of his family, gone crazy, and escaped, why would he have run into a Taoist temple, and why would he have turned into a ghost? And why would he have so much resentment?
What is she resenting?
He then asked: "Has anyone ever entered the old house of the Lu family before?"
Tong Ling shook her head: "That house, it is said that strange noises often came from the house a long time ago. Some people said that it was the ghosts of the thirteen members of the Lu family. That place is a ghost house, and no one dares to enter it casually."
Tong Ling continued: "We don't have a clue right now. The complexity of this incident is beyond our imagination. Jiang Yang, what do you think?"
"Let me think about it," Jiang Yang said.
He had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He felt that there must be something wrong with the Lu family and the ghost in red.
But he still couldn't tell whether the red-clothed ghost in the Taoist temple was related to the disappearance case in the city. According to the current clues, it was possible that they were a group of outsiders occupying the Lu family's house.
but……
At this moment, he suddenly recalled the wooden tiger in the Taoist temple.
Who on earth suppressed the red-clothed ghost there? Moreover, he had some contact with the memory of the red-clothed ghost and the memory of fighting Muhu.
He felt that the red-clothed ghost would become more resentful the more it was blocked, and the more resentful it became, the stronger it would become.
If the man who suppressed the ghost in red was really that powerful, why not just kill such a powerful ghost and let it become stronger and stronger?
What if someone wants to make it stronger? Just like the Yan family corpse transformation?
Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to think of some clues in his mind. Then, the 3D image of Muhu immediately appeared in his mind, and then, the image of Muren also appeared that day.
He compared the carving of the wooden figure's eyebrows with the knife skills used to carve the wooden tiger.
If you look at the two alone, you can't detect them, but if you put them together and compare them, you can compare them one by one, including the carving style and the use of a knife, down to the smallest detail.
He suddenly felt enlightened.
He couldn't help but said to himself: "Maybe I can find the Lu family's daughter."
"What did you say?"
"Now that the clues have been interrupted here, I feel that things are not that simple. If we need to reveal the person behind it, finding the daughter of the Lu family might be able to solve this mystery."
Tong Ling was a little surprised when she heard Jiang Yang's words. She had been investigating for several days but had no clue. Could it be that Jiang Yang had some clues here?
Jiang Yang explained: "No one can find her. Do you think it's because she was killed and her body was hidden, so she can't be found?"
Tong Ling looked at Jiang Yang with some confusion.
Jiang Yang immediately briefly told what happened that day when he took shelter in the Taoist temple and met the ghost in red.
Hearing Jiang Yang's story, Tong Ling became even more surprised: "Jiang Yang, can you let me see that jade pendant with the word "Lu"?"
Jiang Yang took off the jade pendant with the word "Lu" hanging on his chest.
This jade pendant does not seem to be originally red, but seems to be soaked in blood. It is engraved with flower and bird patterns, which are very clear and delicate.
Tong Ling looked at it carefully and then returned the jade pendant to Jiang Yang.
The surname is Lu, and he is from a wealthy family that can afford this kind of jade pendant. The possibility that he is from an inner-city family is extremely high.
Another daughter of the Lu family happened to be missing.
She became a little depressed: "It's a pity that even if she is the daughter of the Lu family, she has turned into a ghost. It is difficult to provide us with any clues."
"Let's go take a look first." Jiang Yang said vaguely, "Let's go there in person. Maybe there is something we can do."
Now that he has the Five Yin Talisman and the psychic attribute, he might be able to dig out some clues from the red-clothed ghost in the Taoist temple.
"Well! Then let's go take a look."
The two immediately mounted their horses and headed towards the Taoist temple.
