This celestial master is not serious

Chapter 175 Painted Skin, Metaphysics Catch Ghosts!
Xu Yang also walked into the women's toilet.

He "looks" at the compartment where the accident happened.

In the cubicle, the woman was wearing a cool summer dress and had her non-mainstream sky blue hair permed. She should be very young.

She is sitting on the toilet.

Bags, broken makeup mirrors, and lipsticks fell under the feet, and a face was cut off by life, and the bloody face was constantly oozing blood.

"Strange case!"

Bai Wei lowered her head and took a closer look, then made a judgment immediately, and said, "Wang Lin, notify the Public Security Bureau and ask them to send people to seal off the scene, contact the management department of the shopping mall, and call for surveillance!"

Wang Lin immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call.

Xu Yang was a little surprised, and asked: "How did you judge that this is a weird case? I didn't find any yin energy left at the scene!"

Yes!

Although Xu Yang could not "see" with his eyes.

But his spiritual perception is more powerful than his eyes.

As soon as he entered the toilet, he had scanned it. There was no Yin Qi left in the toilet, and he had even ruled out the possibility of a weird case in his heart.

Bai Wei said: "Judging from the eyes of the corpse and the time of death, I have studied forensic medicine. From the temperature of the corpse, it can be judged that the time of death will not exceed 15 minutes. This is Wanda and Wucheng. The mall with the most traffic.”

"The fourth floor of Wanda is full of gourmet shops and cinemas. There are no bathrooms in the seafood buffets of those gourmet shops, so people come and go in this public restroom... If it weren't for weird events, it's impossible for there to be no movement at all."

Xu Yang nodded.

Bai Wei's judgment is very reasonable...but it is not enough to judge that this is a weird case.

But when Xu Yang "looked" at the corpse, he understood why Bai Wei was so determined!
There was no fear or pain in the corpse's eyes, but a touch of joy instead!
Bai Wei found the girl's ID card from the bag on the ground, and said, "Zhang Li, 22 years old..."

"Zhang Li?"

Xu Yang was slightly taken aback.

This name...somewhat familiar!
He poked his head and "looked" at his ID card, and suddenly remembered... This is one of the two girls that Ma Long caught when he first returned to Wucheng, and he sent him back to the funeral shop when he was drunk , and had bad thoughts about himself, and was scared away by Liu Shishi.

She also left a black lace at home.

soon.

The people from the mall management department have arrived.

A murder case occurred in the shopping mall. This was a major event. The shopping mall was very cooperative. After a while, Xu Yang and others saw the surveillance cameras in the corridor outside the toilet.

The monitoring shows that Zhang Li entered the bathroom at 2023 noon on July 7, 20.

12.38 minutes.

In the bathroom, she came out again, and looked up at the camera deliberately, with a weird smile on her face, and then walked away.

"wrong!"

"We entered the bathroom at 12.42, and Zhang Li was already dead at that time... What happened when she came out again during the surveillance?"

Wang Lin remembered the time clearly!

At this time, Yang Yin beside Xu Yang said, "That's not Zhang Li!"

She was very sure, and said: "Zhang Li was carrying her bag when she went in, and her bag was left in the bathroom... and the man who came out was a man, and he went in 28 seconds before Zhang Li entered the bathroom. He's just wearing Zhang Li's face!"

Wang Lin, Bai Wei and the others kept staring at the faces of the people entering and leaving the bathroom, but did not notice this detail.

They put it back, read it again, and found that it was exactly as Yang Yin said.

And Yang Yin said again: "We met this person when we came out of the mobile phone shop. At that time, I thought it was weird... His body and behavior are all male, but he has a woman's face... Now it seems But he cut off Zhang Li's face and put it on his own."

In Xu Yang's mind, he couldn't help thinking of a word - painted skin!
"Painted skin" once appeared in "Xuanguailu" for the first time. It tells the story of an evil spirit turning into a beautiful woman to seduce a lustful and lustful man.

It was later written by Pu Songling into "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", and was even put on the big screen several times.

After Wang Lin and Bai Wei knew the ability of this "ghost", they also looked dignified!

This kind of ghost, let alone how powerful it is.

But since "it" can peel off someone else's face and turn into someone else's appearance without revealing the slightest hint of sinisterness, it is extremely terrifying... The sea of ​​people is vast, and "it" just needs to kill someone and put on that person's face Drilling into the crowd, how to find out?

Now that the case happened, Wang Lin and Bai Wei naturally couldn't care less about eating.

Xu Yang took a few girls back to the seafood self-service shop and took a large table of dishes.

At the dinner table, several people chatted about the case.

The young lady of the Yue family said: "I never thought that sister Yang Yin's powers of observation are so powerful."

"When I was studying painting, my teacher often said...to draw a good painting, you must pay attention to the details. It seems that we who learn to paint have a different perspective from everyone else!"

Xu Yang changed his face and asked: "Sister, you are the king of ghosts, you have many yin soldiers under you, you have good eyes and ears, and you know a lot about the Western Xia ghost circle, have you ever heard of ghosts with such abilities in this Western Xia realm? "

Miss Yue family shook her head and said: "Over the years, there have been more and more ghosts and ghosts, those who have been dormant are gradually recovering, and those dead people are living in some places where Yin Qi gathers, and new dead souls are born."

"These dead souls have different abilities, and some don't even know the existence of the ghost city. They wander around all day, or go out to harm people, or choose to hide in one place, or are swallowed and refined by more powerful ghosts... It's normal for some strange ghosts to be born that I don't know about."

Yunmengxi also said: "During the Song Dynasty, there was a painted skin ghost that caused great harm to the world and caused great turmoil. Painted skin ghosts are often not strong, but their ability to hide is unparalleled in the world. This kind of ghost is weak and only cuts people when it is young. The face turns into someone else's appearance, but the body cannot change."

"As he kills more and more, the hostility in his body will become stronger, the more yin will become, and the strength will become higher and deeper. After killing, he will peel off the entire human skin and completely transform into someone else's appearance. You can even obtain other people's memories, and completely turn into another person to live in the world!"

"I remember that Painted Skin Ghost was a disaster for the world for more than 60 years. Finally, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain happened to meet him and murdered him, so he suppressed and killed him."

Shaking his head, Yunmengxi sighed: "If the Lingguan Bureau doesn't find this painted skin ghost as soon as possible, I'm afraid many people will die this time!"

Facts have proved that Yunmengxi was not wrong.

At around 7 o'clock in the evening on July 20, Xu Yang received a call from Feng Zhaoqing.

On the other end of the phone, Feng Zhaoqing said helplessly, "Master Xu... I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"That painted skin ghost came out to kill again?"

Hearing this, Xu Yang thought for a while and said, "Where is the scene of the crime? I'll go there now."

"Under the Yellow River Bridge."

Feng Zhaoqing gave the position.

Xu Yang took a taxi and soon came to the Yellow River Bridge in Wucheng, but he saw that a cordon had been pulled up under the bridge, and in the middle of the cordon was a corpse covered by a white cloth.

"Master Xu!"

Feng Zhaoqing, the innate martial arts master and the captain of the Xixia branch of the Spiritual Management Bureau in Wucheng, greeted Xu Yang in person. He opened the cordon, walked towards the corpse, and introduced to Xu Yang: "This is the fourth incident today. It's a murder case... We have investigated it, and the face that guy used at the beginning was also obtained by killing people!"

"After Wanda killed that woman at noon today, at 6 pm, he killed another man..."

"The body was discovered within 30 minutes. Judging from the information left on the body, the deceased was a male, 27 years old. He should have been poisoned while fishing."

Xu Yang lifted the white cloth and "looked" at it.

The state of death of the corpse was exactly the same as that of Zhang Li.

There is joy in the eyes.

There were no other injuries on his body, as if his face had been cut off alive, and there was also no yin energy left around, so he couldn't find any clues... As for the monitoring, there is no need to check.

Since that guy can "change faces", it's useless to check.

And Xu Yang also discovered...

The "wound" on the corpse's face is smooth, at least smoother than Zhang Li's... This shows that the painting skin ghost's face-cutting skills are improving!

of course.

That's not the point.

The point is that there is another case!
A flash of inspiration flashed in Xu Yang's mind, and he asked, "Master Feng, what time did you say the victim died in another case?"

Feng Zhaoqing said: "The first victim is Ma Haiping, a decoration master. When the accident happened, he was laying floor tiles in someone's house. We received a call to the police at three o'clock in the afternoon. According to the forensic identification, the time of death should be in the morning. Between 7:30 and 9 o'clock."

"Morning, noon, afternoon..."

Xu Yang muttered.

He took out his phone and scanned it mentally.

It was just after midnight.

Hearing Xu Yang muttering, Feng Zhaoqing quickly asked, "Could it be that Master Xu found some clues?"

Xu Yang pondered for a few seconds, and said, "The timing of this painted skin ghost's murder...is it a coincidence or..."

When he said this, he paused for a moment before he said, "Or, did he come according to the meal time?"

"Early? Lunch? Dinner..."

Feng Zhaoqing thought about it for himself, and couldn't help cursing: "Damn it, this dog has to eat supper? If it's true, wouldn't it mean that at least four people will die a day?"

"By the way, Master Xu, you just said that guy is called Painted Skin Ghost?"

Xu Yang nodded, and immediately popularized the characteristics of Painted Skin Ghost for Feng Zhaoqing, and told Feng Zhaoqing what Yunmengxi said. Feng Zhaoqing's face changed drastically when he heard the words, and he said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, it will be terrible... ...He will kill at least four people a day, and I'm afraid it won't be long before the whole Wucheng is panicked, and I don't know how many innocent people will be killed by him!"

"Master Xu, do you have a way to find that painted skin ghost?"

"Disaster!"

Xu Yang smiled wryly and shook his head: "This guy can change his face at any time, and he doesn't have any yin energy escaping from him. I want to find him... Huh!"

He said, suddenly his heart moved, and he asked: "Master Feng, I have a way to try, but I'm not sure if I can really catch that guy out!"

Feng Zhaoqing's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What can I do?"

"This is metaphysics. If you say it, you may not believe it, so there is no need to say it."

Ma Long's face appeared in Xu Yang's mind.

If I take Ma Long and walk around Wucheng every day... Is it possible that I will attract that painted skin ghost?
