Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 49 The Metaphysics Detective
Next, Gu Xu asked the servants of the Fan family and several guests who had a wedding that night to question them one by one.

But these people did not give Gu Xu much useful information.

According to their description, after Fan Zhou left the banquet on the wedding night, it was as if he had evaporated out of thin air in the yard, leaving no traces.

"It's a little strange." Gu Xu stretched out his hand to support his hat, thinking silently.

Use metaphysics when things go wrong.

Thinking of this, Gu Xu took out the three copper coins he carried with him from his pocket, and tossed it three times in a row to get the "Zhen" hexagram.

According to the postnatal gossip azimuth map, "quake" is due east.

"Let's go to the east of the county and look for it!" Gu Xu turned his head and said to the families of the victims around him.

Hearing this, the family members were all stunned—

Are the officials of the Exorcism Division solving cases so casually these days?How about a coin toss for clues?
This feels so unreliable!

However, due to Gu Xu's extraordinary identity, they did not dare to ask questions, they only dared to follow Gu Xu step by step, left Fan's house, and walked towards the due east.

…………

Next, every time Gu Xu walked to a fork in the road, under the suspicious eyes of others, he would take out a copper coin and calculate the direction.

Unconsciously, they gradually left the lively county center and came to the remote and cold suburbs.

There are few people here, only the endless wilderness and a few sparse houses can be seen.

At this moment, the Qin family mistress suddenly pointed to the front and shouted in surprise:

"Why is there an extra house in this place? When I came here a month ago, I didn't see it!"

Gu Xu looked in the direction she pointed.

He saw that there was indeed a two-story house at the end of the road.

The gate of this house is facing the straight road, and there are many trees planted on both sides.

In Feng Shui, the door is the air intake of the house.

The door is facing the road, which will make the evil spirits rush head-on, bringing bad luck and even bloody disasters.

This is considered a "Road Chong Sha", also known as "Gun Sha", which is an extremely dangerous pattern.

Of course, if there are no people living in this house, that's another story.

So Gu Xu made a bold guess: the ghost who robbed Fan Zhou was probably hiding in this room.

"I'm going to take a look at that house," Gu Xu instructed the people around him indifferently, "Just stay here and don't move around."

Madam Fan worried about the child, took two steps forward and bowed to Gu Xu, and said earnestly, "Sir, please let Caomin go with you! I want to know if my son—"

"—This official is here to solve the case," Gu Xu shook his head and interrupted her indifferently, "If there are really evil ghosts in there, it can't control your safety."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the house at the end of the road, ignoring it.

Madam Fan watched his back as he walked away, and couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Before that, she had once doubted whether Gu Xu, a young officer of the Exorcism Department, could solve this strange case.

But now, as an anxious mother, she just wants to silently pray for Gu Xu, hoping that he can clear the fog, see the truth, and get her son back as soon as possible...

…………

After a while, Gu Xu arrived at the two-story house at the end of the road.

He reached out and tapped the door three times.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Who's knocking on the door?" A young man's voice came from inside the house.

His words were mixed with gasping sounds, and he seemed to be exercising vigorously.

"It doesn't matter who I am," Gu Xu replied, "I'm just here to give you a message."

"With a word?" The young man's voice sounded a little puzzled.

"Fan Zhou, have you had enough fun here?" Gu Xu showed a faint smile on his face, "Your mother told you to go home and get married."

"boom!"

After a while, the door was suddenly pushed open.

I saw the young man standing in the room with frowning, disheveled and flushed. Not only did he not wear a belt, but he also wore only one shoe.

Apparently, he rushed over after hearing Gu Xu's voice.

This person is the protagonist of the case - Fan Zhou, who has been missing for half a month.

At this moment, Fan Zhou looked at the black "Qi Yao clothes" that Gu Xu was wearing and felt extremely puzzled.

In his impression, there are no such young officials in the Juxian Exorcism Department.

"Big... Sir, you may have misunderstood," Fan Zhou said, "I married Miss Qin's family half a month ago. Now we live together and have a very happy life."

Live with Miss Qin family?
According to the Qin family's parents, isn't Qin Xiangyun staying in her room every day to get sullen?

But why is there another Miss Qin family here?
Gu Xu smiled.

He glanced at Fan Zhou's red face, and felt that the case had become more interesting.

"Your wife... is her name Qin Xiangyun?"

"Yes!"

At this moment, a soft and sweet voice suddenly came from upstairs of the house: "Master, when will you be able to drive away that annoying guest? The concubine has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Don't worry ma'am, I'll be right here!" Fan Zhou replied immediately with a smile on his face.

Then he turned his head and said to Gu Xu who was standing outside the door with a very fast speech rate: "This exorcist, it's getting late now, so go back early! I won't send you!"

Gu Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. I heard that Mrs. Fan's wife is a famous beauty, this official has always been very curious and wanted to meet her in person."

After that, he pushed Fan Zhou aside, stepped into the house, and walked towards the stairs.

Hearing his words, Fan Zhou suddenly froze in place, and then a burst of anger surged in his heart: "Are all Daqi officials so bastards now? They even openly expressed their interest in other people's wives? Could it be that they want to force their wives?

"Yangyang Daqi has already decayed so far!"

…………

After a while, Gu Xu saw Fan Zhou's "wife" on the stairs.

He had to admit that this was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen in his life.

Ice muscles hide jade bones, shirt collars reveal crisp breasts; willow eyebrows gather green daisies, bright eyes shine with silver stars.

It can be described as charming and charming.

No wonder Fan Zhou was immersed in the gentle township and refused to return home.

At the same time, Fan Zhou also hurried over, pointed at Gu Xu and shouted angrily, "You are not allowed to touch my wife!"

But the woman didn't seem to see her husband at all.

She smiled and looked at Gu Xu with obsessive eyes, as if Gu Xu was her true lover.

Although she just said "nasty guests"...

But the moment she saw Gu Xu, she had already left those words behind.

"My son, it's getting late, why don't you stay overnight with your concubine in the humble house?" She leaned close to Gu Xu's ear and said softly in an ecstatic voice.

Gu Xu immediately took two steps back and kept a distance from her.

At the same time, he secretly cursed in his heart: The evil spirit body!
