lord of all phenomena

Chapter 15 Snails
"Roar."

Accompanied by a strange cry, the picture shattered, and another picture followed one after another. A bloody heart jumped out of the wandering Taoist's chest, and was taken away by a vigorous black shadow.

But the Taoist priest's chest could not see the wound.

No other images flashed in Gu Qing's mind, he thought to himself: "Could it be that too much time has passed, so there are only so many memories."

Gu Qing had firmly remembered the black shadow and the roar.

He asked Wu: "What is the cause of his death?"

Wu Zuo hesitated for a moment, and Ding Dian said: "It's okay, just tell me."

Wu Zuo said: "His heart was taken away, but the wound cannot be seen. This is something I can't figure out."

He then said to Ding Dianyu: "My lord, please allow the villain to cut open his chest for further observation."

Ding Dianyu said: "Yes."

Wu Zuo then took out the scalpel and started to work.

Ding Dianyu asked Gu Qing, "I don't know what clue Mr. Gu can think of?"

Gu Qing shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't see anything. I also heard from a friend that this Taoist priest sells a prescription for prolonging life. I originally planned to buy it from him."

Ding Dianyu said: "Who is that friend you mentioned?"

Gu Qing said: "It's the previous owner of the yard I live in, Mr. Ding should know him."

Ding Dianyu said, "I don't know him."

Gu Qing said: "Can Master Ding give me the letter for you?"

Ding Dianyu said: "Because it is an important evidence, it can only be returned to you after the case is solved."

Gu Qing said: "In that case, I will take my leave first."

Ding Dianyu said: "Okay, if Mr. Gu thinks of any clues, please come to the Yamen to find me as soon as possible."

Gu Qing nodded and said, "Definitely."

Ding Dian prison sent Fang Wanqiu and Gu Qing out.

On the way, Fang Wanqiu asked curiously: "I still want to see them dissect the corpse. Don't you wonder how the Taoist priest's heart was taken away?"

Gu Qing said: "Not curious."

Fang Wanqiu smiled and said: "Then you didn't realize that Ding Dianyu's words were not complete or true? After he asked about the former owner of your yard, he didn't ask you where that person is now. You must know that the best Yunxuan should be you." The previous owner of the yard probably bought it, how could he miss such an important clue?"

Gu Qing said: "You're right, and he didn't ask if I bought the top grade Yunxuan."

Fang Wanqiu said: "So, he still hid some things from us, should I check it out for you?"

Gu Qing shook his head and said, "One thing more is worse than one thing less."

Fang Wanqiu said: "By the way, since Yunxuan's registered address is at your home, there may be some leftovers, so you want to go home and look for it?"

Gu Qing thought: "That's exactly what I planned."

He said: "Where is the most precious Yunxuan?"

Fang Wanqiu said: "Don't you know that the top grade Yunxuan is not afraid of water, fire, or insects, and the recorded words can be preserved for a long time, and..."

Gu Qing said: "And what?"

Fang Wanqiu said: "There is a big man who likes Yun Xuan very much."

She looked at Gu Qing meaningfully, and secretly said: "Since your identity is 'top secret', how could you not know about that big shot, what are you hiding?"

Next, Fang Wanqiu didn't tell Gu Qing who that big shot was.

Gu Qing thought of another thing, why did Lu Li learn to write?
He thought it might have something to do with the big shot Fang Wanqiu mentioned, because Gu Qing could tell that Lu Li didn't learn calligraphy because of her hobby, she had a special purpose.

And Gu Qing can basically be sure that Lu Li bought the top grade Yunxuan, or Lu Li sent someone to buy it.

The words "Gu Qing's personal letter" on the envelope were not new, but it was difficult for Gu Qing to tell when the four words were written.

More importantly, Gu Qing was very curious about the contents of the letter.When he was holding the letter paper, he deliberately rubbed it with his fingers, so he made the judgment that it was coated with potion.

If Lu Li is ruled out as harmful to his mind, then the content of the letter should be beneficial to Gu Qing, otherwise he would not use such a covert method.

Gu Qing felt that he should get this letter.

Before he left, he deliberately asked Dian prison for a letter. In fact, it was to dispel Dian prison's doubts. If he didn't say a word about the letter, it would look very suspicious.

And if he uses the power of the Fang family to ask for this letter, it will be difficult to hide it from Fang Wanqiu, and this is not the result Gu Qing wants.

The defense of the yamen is not strict, Gu Qing has observed the prison's office and the surrounding terrain clearly, so he is sure that he can sneak in.

However, just stealing that letter will cause Gu Qing a certain degree of trouble, and he will definitely be listed as a suspect in Ding Dian's prison.

If he can find the rest of the best Yunxuan at home, things will be much easier, after all, Gu Qing himself is also a master of counterfeiting, he can completely change the position.

This matter must be done quickly, the longer the delay, the more likely Ding Dian prison will discover the secret of the letter. Gu Qing does not want the other party to know, because Gu Qing does not know what the content is, and whether it will be harmful to him.

Fortunately, the cause of the Taoist priest's death is very strange, so Ding Dianyu should be focusing on it recently, and the antique shop is probably bound to be questioned.

Gu Qing also has another doubt, why the murder happened in the antique shop where the wooden Buddha statue is located.

Does the wooden Buddha statue have anything to do with this matter?

Moreover, Lu Li said that wandering Taoist priests usually appear on the East Street, and the antique shop is on the East Street, so there is no relationship between the two?
Gu Qing didn't believe it was all a coincidence.

But this matter is not suitable for investigation now.

Back home, Gu Qing asked Fang Wanqiu to scatter those servants, and said that he would continue to teach Fang Wanqiu how to draw, but Fang Wanqiu was eager to help Gu Qing find those top-notch Yunxuan.

Gu Qing strongly refused this time, because there is still a wooden Buddha statue hidden in the house.Although he hides well, who knows if Fang Wanqiu will discover the secret of the wall by mistake.It's harder to explain then.

What's more, Fang Wanqiu can't be tolerated blindly.

Gu Qing's resolute attitude also caught Fang Wanqiu by surprise, but she didn't pester her anymore, she just said that she would come back tomorrow.

After sending Fang Wanqiu away, Gu Qing was not in a hurry to find Yunxuan, because Fang Wanqiu was still nearby.

And he was a little hungry, Gu Qing felt that he suddenly had an appetite, and he planned to make a bowl of snail noodles.

He raised some snails in the pond he dug. He has always prepared spices such as kaempferia, star anise, cinnamon, and cloves. The peppers in the vegetable field are also growing very well.

The cowpeas he soaked a few days ago should almost be ready, and the sour bamboo shoots are also available, but there are no vermicelli.

There is a store in the city that has really good fans, Gu Qing plans to buy it.

He closed the door as usual, and put a strand of hair on the latch.

Gu Qing walked for about half a mile, smiled lightly, and the little girl followed him as expected.This also made Gu Qing a little relieved, at least Fang Wanqiu has no plans to search his house privately.

If Fang Wanqiu really did this, Gu Qing would have to think of a way to punish her.

Fang Wanqiu, who quietly followed Gu Qing, suppressed her excitement, and Gu Qing really couldn't help but start to act.
