Chapter 1064: Deducing the Future
The limitations of the field have reached a level that cannot be ignored in this mission.
If the relevant religious culture, talismans and other characteristics cannot be understood as soon as possible, the progress of the mission will be seriously affected.
"There is no such person in the Seventh Branch."
The three of them walked out in the dust again. Mei Sheng knew that this trip was to find someone who had sufficient knowledge of the relevant culture, so he spoke.
Xue Tingtao also quickly waved his hand and echoed:
"As far as I know, the fourth branch doesn't have one either."
Naturally, there is no need to ask at the Tenth Store. If there is such a person in their store, Li Dahong would have explained it during the conversation just now.
Ji Li looked at the screen of his phone, found Huang Banxian's number, and dialed it again.
The last call for help in Guiyuan Community was not successful because they were all pulled into the barrier at that time.
Sure enough, the dialing went smoothly this time. It didn't take long for the call to be connected, and Huang Banxian's lazy voice rang out.
"Hey, who is this?"
"I am Ji Li. I am on a mission and want to ask you for help."
Huang Banxian's voice immediately disappeared. When he spoke again, his tone changed significantly, and he said in shock:
"Did I hear you correctly? You are Ji Li. Do you want to ask me for help?"
Ji Li didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, so he went straight to the point and made his words clear:
"This mission is related to religion. I saw with my own eyes a giant talisman with a corpse as its own space, a black floor and painted with the blood of the dead.
The giant talisman targets the five internal organs of the human body and has a freezing effect.
Including the method of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, a store clerk died of the strange method of "wood making fire", leaving only a piece of shredded paper on the scene.
I think the original version of this shredded paper should also be a talisman, and it is dark purple..."
"Etc., etc!"
Ji Li explained all the information at once. Huang Banxian was confused and quickly interrupted:
"Manager Ji, are you saying that the task you are performing is related to some elements of our traditional religion?"
“It’s not as simple as the elements, it should be said that the main theme is religion, and the existing store staff don’t know anything about it, including me.
In Tianhai, this aspect is your strength, so I hope you can help me find a real expert in this field. "
Of course Ji Li didn't really want Huang Banxian to help. After all, in his opinion, this fake Taoist priest had only deceived and deceived him, and had no real talent or knowledge.
The current situation is that the murderer is obviously a religious master, and there is a strong religious overtone behind the serial murders.
Therefore, he urgently needs an expert who is truly specialized in this field to provide professional guidance.
Ji Li's words were a bit offensive, but Huang Banxian was not embarrassed or angry at all. He knew very well how much he weighed.
After a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice:
"Forgive me for asking, Manager Ji, what is your mission?"
There was no need to hide anything, and the time was not urgent. Ji Li revealed truthfully:
"I am now the store manager of the seventh and tenth pairs. This task is to jointly lead with the fourth branch."
"Um……"
Huang Banxian became cautious and explained after hesitation:
"I can help you with this matter, but I need to ask our store manager for advice first to see what his attitude is."
Huang Banxian, a little old man with weak physical strength, can survive for so long in the Ninth Branch and even almost become the second person. Naturally, he has his own characteristics.
It is best for him to play both sides, always keep a line in everything he does, and be cautious.
Although it seemed unnecessary to ask Gu Xingjian for advice on such matters, he was still prepared to do so.
Ji Li sneered when he heard this and said lightly:
"As long as it's about me, Gu Xingjian will agree to everything. Just ask."
After hanging up the phone and waiting for the elevator, Mei Sheng suddenly asked:
"You said, if we go to an expert in the religious field to help with this matter, might it be set up by the murderer?"
Ji Li raised his eyebrows after hearing this, but was speechless.
Xue Tingtao was breaking out in a cold sweat and said hurriedly:
"Oh, it's not impossible."
Judging from the Guiyuan Community incident, the murderer knew the store clerks’ routes and plans very well.
But this is not the existence of a mole or tracking, but the result of using the information released by him to guide the clerks step by step to follow his arrangements.
It can be said that the murderer's layout and design capabilities are not weaker than Ji Li's at all.
The battle of wits has become a major part of this mission.
This novel "attack method" is unique and ground-breaking. It will invisibly relieve the psychological pressure on the store clerks and make them helpless.
Mei Sheng's guess is very logical, because after Guiyuan Community, the murderer has already been exposed.
Religion and culture are the shortcomings of the clerks, so Ji Li must find a foreign aid that can compete with him.
If this logic is followed, it is difficult to avoid misunderstandings.
Perhaps, Ji Li's search for foreign aid was exactly what the murderer wanted, and he still wanted to kill Ji Li.
Seeing that Ji Li didn't speak, Mei Sheng continued to analyze:
“Three days ago, the murderer committed seven murders on the same day, but for the next three days, no one was heard of the deceased again.
He seemed to be waiting for the pickup mission to begin.
The target of his murder is changing from a passerby to a store clerk. Fang Shao is an example, and so are we.
But Fang Shao probably didn’t have what he was looking for, so he became the bait to catch us.
In other words, maybe one of you, me, and Xue Tingtao hides what the murderer wants.
So I guess that if Huang Banxian gets help and finds a foreign aid this time, then this trip will be another opportunity for him to kill people. "
Ji Li lifted up his newly put on coat, looked at his abdomen, pondered for a moment and then sneered:
"Then you'll know after you try it."
Then, he came to Mei Sheng's side, got close to her hair, and whispered something.
…
"Villa No. 001, Qianjin Road, is the residence of a retired master named Wu Zhengsi.
Maybe you haven’t heard of his name, but ‘Hiding the Wind and Carrying the Water’ was founded by Mr. Wu.
You must underestimate this Feng Shui Association because of the ghost boy mission. In the past thirty years, it has been firmly ranked first in the field of Feng Shui in the Hujiang area.
Maybe the practice of cultivating the occult, borrowing Dharma, and exorcism are fake, but a considerable part of the things our ancestors have left behind for thousands of years are precious and valuable. "
The phone was on speakerphone, and Huang Banxian's words fell into everyone's ears. Although he was a fake Taoist priest, he actually admired traditional culture very much in his heart.
Having survived in Tianhai for so long, Wu Zhengsi is still praised to such a high level in Huang Banxian's mouth, which also proves that this modern Kanyu master is definitely not in vain.
"Villa No. 1 on Qianjin Road, Mr. Wu seems to be really rich..."
Xue Tingtao couldn't help but sigh.
"Hmph, otherwise why would I choose this profession before? It makes money so fast."
As Huang Banxian and Xue Tingtao chatted wordlessly, the car gradually moved closer to the road ahead.
In the passenger seat of the car, Ji Li kept his eyes closed, as if he was recharging his energy.
But in fact, his mind has deduced at least four scenarios that might happen next.
Judging from the current situation, the murderer is very likely to set up another murder in this operation, leaving Ji Li with an extremely difficult problem to solve:
How to ensure Wu Zhengsi's safety and avoid attrition as much as possible. At the same time, he also needs to take this opportunity to find out what the murderer wants.
