Chapter 363 The mastermind behind the scenes
"Where is the mastermind behind this?" Yi Qianhuan asked.
Qin Gou shook his head, his expression looked very anxious: "Qili Village, Qili Village..."
"Governor, where is Qili Village?" Yi Qianhuan said as he took out the Crownless Mirror.
Summoning dead souls to question them is indeed a good way to investigate cases, but the memory of souls is prone to problems, and they may only be able to say some key things but cannot be questioned more deeply.
However, they can now at least be sure that there must be something key hidden in this Qili Village.
"Qilizhuang is a village located on the outskirts of the city..."
Before Ji Chilian could finish his words, Qin Gou suddenly screamed in pain: "No, no, there's such a big fire, save me! Save me! It's so hot, save me, save me!"
Qin Gou seemed to have seen something terrible. He suddenly struggled and twisted, looking as if he was really burned by flames. His voice sounded helpless and miserable.
"Collect!" Yi Qianhuan pointed his finger at the Crownless Mirror.
A ray of colorful light shot out from the Crownless Mirror and directly sucked Qin Gou's soul in.
"Mirror Spirit, can you see more memories about Qin Gou?" Yi Qianhuan asked.
The mirror spirit tried it and said with some frustration: "It's hard to find another one. This soul is seriously damaged. It must have been tortured during life, which led to the collapse of the soul after death. The memory of such a soul is always unclear. I think you should investigate in the direction he said first."
"Even if I use mystical techniques, I can't get more information?"
"Lord Du, the mysterious art is not omnipotent. All things in the world are in harmony of yin and yang, and each has its own destiny. If you force it, it will be counterproductive." After Yi Qianhuan handed Qin Gou's soul to the Crownless Mirror, he immediately felt the tiredness that came from using the mysterious art.
It was as if the strength in his limbs was drained in an instant and an intense sleepiness came over him. Yi Qianhuan fell asleep before he could even say a second sentence.
Fortunately, Granny Qin and the others had made preparations in advance. They immediately stepped forward and carried Yi Qianhuan to a recliner nearby to rest.
Seeing Granny Tan and the others feeding Yi Qianhuan the ginseng soup, Shen Yubao couldn't help but worry: "Brother Mo, is Fairy Sister okay?"
"It's okay." Yi Mobao hid the nervousness in his eyes, "The mysterious art of summoning souls consumes a lot of energy, mother will be fine after a rest."
Seeing Shen Yubao nod, Yi Mobao still couldn't calm down.
He lied to Yubao.
Summoning souls is actually not a complicated art. My mother is now a national god. Under normal circumstances, she only needs to use the power of the national god to easily summon twenty or thirty souls in one night.
But my mother’s physical strength is too weak.
Her frail body was unable to utilize so much power from the national god, so now whenever she used the mysterious technique, she would easily become exhausted.
Moreover, according to his observation, his mother's problem in this regard was becoming more and more serious.
This also means that my mother's physical strength is not as good as before. Just using the mysterious arts now will cause her to become weak. If it continues to deteriorate like this, I am afraid that my mother will become weak even if she does not use the mysterious arts in the future.
Even in the end, my mother's body could not bear the power of the national god, and the power of the national god became a burden to her.
When that time comes, what should mother do?
Yi Mobao didn't dare to think further. He could only look at Granny Qin with an anxious expression.
Granny Qin used twice as much tonic as last time. After giving it all to Yi Qianhuan, she finally saw Yi Qianhuan open his eyes.
"Master..." Seeing Yi Qianhuan's pale face, Granny Qin's eyes suddenly turned red and she knelt beside Yi Qianhuan.
Seeing Granny Qin holding her hand tightly with a look of reluctance, Yi Qianhuan gave her a comforting look: "Don't worry, Granny, I'm fine now."
Granny Qin moved her lips, but eventually swallowed the words that were in her mouth.
She really wanted to remind her master that he was not alright at all. Although these tonics could wake him up, they were only treating the symptoms and not the root cause.
But before Granny Qin could speak, Yi Qianhuan gently shook his head at her.
Swallowing back all the words that were about to come out of her throat, Granny Tan tried to make her voice sound as gentle as possible: "How does the master feel now?"
Yi Qianhuan felt that his situation was very bad.
She felt as if she hadn't slept for three days and three nights. Her head was dizzy and she even had the illusion that she was drunk.
But when she found that Yi Mobao and Shen Yubao were looking at her with concern, the words on her lips changed: "I'm fine."
Shen Yubao was still worried, so he held Yi Qianhuan's hand tightly and said, "Fairy sister, I noticed that you look thinner than before. Is it because you haven't had a good rest recently and have been too busy?"
Yi Mobao looked distressed: "Mother has always been busy, and she has not had a rest since she became the national god. Even a body of iron can't bear it."
Shen Yubao: "After this matter is over, I will take you out to have a good rest, and then we will be away from the troubles of the world, and our lives will be much happier than now."
Yi Qianhuan imagined the scene of two children accompanying her: "That is indeed family happiness."
"You also said that all this is based on the premise that all matters are resolved cleanly. So far, we haven't obtained much intelligence." Ji Chilian's voice suddenly sounded with a hint of coldness.
"That's true... Lord Governor, where exactly is Qili Village?"
"There is a village in the suburbs called Qili Village. But as far as I know, this village was burned down overnight due to a forest fire, and some villagers inside did not escape. Since then, rumors have spread that Qili Village is haunted, and the place has gradually become deserted."
"Master Du, how do you know so much about a deserted place?" Yi Mobao looked at Ji Chilian in surprise and asked.
Ji Chilian hesitated for a few seconds and said, "When I was out on a mission before, I accidentally passed by Qili Village and got to know a little bit about it at that time."
"In that case, what do you think is wrong in Qili Village?" Yi Qianhuan asked.
Ji Chilian seemed to be lost in thought, and everyone was waiting for his answer.
"Qili Village is indeed haunted."
Yi Qianhuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Then it seems that we should go and take a look at the situation in Qili Village. If you have any ideas, you might as well tell us directly."
"Why did you only summon Qin Gou's soul? I remember that you wanted to summon two souls at first." Ji Chilian paused and said confidently: "The information that the waiter knows should exceed that of Qin Gou."
"I did call him, but the waiter's spirit did not respond to me."
"In that case, can we summon him again?" Ji Chilian asked.
