Chapter 180

When Song Shiyun entered the main hall with Qiubai and Chunxiao, he saw Master Zhang sitting in the hall.

Master Zhang was sitting on the chair on the right side, closing his eyes to relax. He opened his eyes when he heard someone coming in.

Seeing that it was Song Shiyun, Zhang Zhenren stood up with a friendly smile on his face, "It's been a long time since I last saw the second young lady. How is the second young lady lately?"

Song Shiyun bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Master, I'm thinking of you. Everything is fine with Shiyun, but I don't know why Master came here suddenly today?"

Zhang Zhenren probably didn't expect Song Shiyun to be so direct. He originally planned to exchange a few words.

Hearing this, he looked at Qiu Bai and Chun Xiao next to Song Shiyun, as if he had something to point out.

Song Shiyun understood what he meant, and told Qiu Bai and Chunxiao: "You two go down first and wait for me at the door."

Qiu Bai and Chun Xiao looked at each other, agreed, and then exited the main hall.

At this moment, Zhang’s mother also brought tea.

After Zhang's mother put down the tea and left, Song Shiyun made a gesture of invitation to Master Zhang and said, "Master Zhang, why don't you sit down and chat?"

Master Zhang smiled and cupped his hands, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

He followed the good advice and sat opposite Song Shiyun.

Song Shiyun didn't touch the cup of tea next to him and asked directly: "Master Zhang came to see me, but is there something important?"

"Second Miss is awesome. I asked Second Miss to say it right. I took the liberty to come to your door today. There is really something that I have to trouble Second Miss."

As Master Zhang spoke, he placed the fly whisk on the coffee table next to him and reached into his sleeves to dig through it.

Immediately, he took out a palm-sized book and handed it to Song Shiyun.

The booklet was light black with gilded words on it.

Others may think that this is a simple booklet.

But Song Shiyun understood that this booklet was not simple.

This is the important case booklet of the Tiansi Bureau.

Within the Tiansi Bureau, cases suspected of Xuanmen are divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.

The lower grades are marked in red ink, the second grade in white, and the most difficult cases are marked in black.

Song Shiyun glanced at the book, but did not take it immediately, so he asked Zhenren Zhang: "What is this?"

Master Zhang carefully looked at Song Shiyun's expression.

I just wanted to see Song Shiyun's reaction when he saw this booklet.

But the expression on Song Shiyun's face was impeccable.

Master Zhang only saw a blank look, as if he really didn't know what this booklet was.

No one else saw it.

Seeing this, Master Zhang took the initiative to explain: "This is the important case booklet of our Tiansi Bureau. Our Tiansi Bureau has had many cases recently, but they cannot be solved. I don't know if we made a mistake somewhere. I was thinking about the relationship between Miss Er and Miss Zhang." He is different, he is the best among his peers, he is very talented, he may be able to answer some questions for us, so he shamelessly came to ask the second lady for help, and also asked the second lady to read this booklet."

Mr. Zhang spoke politely and kept a low profile.

Song Shiyun couldn't refuse directly, so she reached for the booklet and patched it first, "Tiansi Bureau is the leader of Xuanmen in the world, and the people inside are all the best in Xuanmen. If you can't I’m afraid even I can’t solve the case.”

Zhang Zhenren said with a smile: "Second Miss, please read the records in the booklet before talking."

Song Shiyun paused for a moment, then opened the booklet.

The next second, she frowned.

Song Shiyun had heard of the contents of this book before.

It was a case from more than a year ago.

The content of the case is that more than a year ago, after a few months, someone always died.

And the people who died were all women.

The way they died was very strange.

That is, when they were found dead at home by their families, they were all covered in bones, skinless and fleshless.

It's hard to tell from the outside that it's the victim.

In the beginning, this kind of case was handed over to the Ministry of Punishment and Jingzhao Mansion.

However, no matter how many investigations were conducted by the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment, they could not figure out how the deceased turned into bones overnight.

All the family members of the deceased said that the woman was fine at home the day before, but she did not get up early the next morning. When the family knocked on the door to inquire, they found that she was not in the house and only a skeleton was left.

At the beginning, people from the Ministry of Punishment and Jingzhao Mansion also suspected that this was a corpse. Someone might have taken malicious revenge and abducted the woman, deliberately laying down the bones to intimidate her family.

However, after examining the bones, Wu Zuo said that they were not corpses.

The governor of Jingzhao and the Ministry of Justice were dumbfounded and didn't know what was going on.The first case has not yet been solved.

The second deceased person appeared again more than a month later.

He was still a good person one day, and turned into a pile of bones the next day.

No one understands.

The governor of Jingzhao and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs felt that this case was not that simple, so they asked the Tiansi Bureau to intervene.

When the news was reported to the Tiansi Bureau, Song Shiyun happened to be conducting his annual retreat.

The case was sent to Zhenren Zhang and Zhenren Zhou.

However, the two of them did not intervene immediately at first, but left it to their apprentices.

The two apprentices, following the people from the Criminal Department, re-entered the scene and investigated carefully.

It was discovered that there was indeed residual Yin Qi at the scene, as if some evil spirit was causing trouble.

The corpse was indeed fresh, but I don’t know why it turned into a bone-like shape.

However, the soul of the deceased has not been found yet.

Logically speaking, the speed of going to the underworld and reincarnating would not be that fast.

Generally, people will enter the underworld after seven days.

After a person dies, his soul is usually next to the body.

It is impossible for a person's soul to disappear within a day or two of his death.

The seduction speed of the underworld is not that fast.

After learning the news, Master Zhang and Master Zhou also asked God to inquire about the souls of those people.

However, Gui Cha also said that the souls of those people did not enter the underworld.

In other words, the disappearance of the souls of those people was not normal.

The Tiansi Bureau told the Ministry of Punishment and Jingzhao Mansion about this matter, and people from all three parties felt that this case was not that simple.

Zhenren Zhang and Zhenren Zhou started investigating for a while.

However, just when their investigation was still at a loss, two more cases appeared one after another.

Every time the death occurred, the manner of death was exactly the same.

Four consecutive cases like this, let alone the Tiansi Bureau, normal people would think that this is abnormal.

In an instant, everyone's eyes in the capital were focused on the Tiansi Bureau.

Zhenren Zhou and Zhenren Zhang were under tremendous pressure, but their investigations were fruitless.

Later, when Princess Shiyu came out of seclusion, they told her about this.

I want her to come forward and see if it can be resolved.

However, before Song Shiyun could start his investigation, something unexpected happened.

Later, she died, and she didn't know how the case was handled.

Unexpectedly, until now, this case has not been solved.

Song Shiyun re-read the contents recorded in the booklet, then raised his eyes to Zhenren Zhang and asked: "I saw that the record was more than half a year ago, why haven't I checked it clearly?"

"Yes." Zhang Zhenren smiled awkwardly, "It was our Tiansi Bureau's inability to do things well. The people in the capital initially blamed us for our incompetence, but we really didn't find out what was going on."

Song Shiyun frowned, "But after those four cases, did it never happen again?"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang said, "No, actually, there was a murder just the day before yesterday."

Song Shiyun raised his eyebrows, "There was a murder the day before yesterday? Is it the same as the case recorded above?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhenren explained: "Yes, the night before yesterday, the deceased was a famous prostitute in a brothel. He was suddenly found dead in his room. When he was found, there was also a pile of bones. We went to the scene to check. Her soul was also not found, but there was still a trace of Yin Qi left at the scene, but this time the remaining Yin Qi was a little lighter than the last time. It seemed that it was the evil spirit who had done it, and the control of Yin Qi was getting better and better. He has become a master."

Hearing this, Song Shiyun flipped through the book again and frowned, "Every time the deceased appeared before, the longest interval was just over a month, but this time it took half a year for him to appear. Why?"

The frequency before was very high, only once every half month or more.

Relatively average.

But why is it that the latest one is half a year away from the last one?
Zhang Zhenren said: "We don't know why. To be honest, Junior Brother Zhou and I were a little surprised when we heard about this case."

After such a long time, they all thought that the dead people might have some grudge against the evil spirits.

Now that all the grudges have been settled, the evil spirits have stopped.

This time the case suddenly appeared, and Master Zhang and Master Zhou were also confused.
