Chapter 855: Love What You Do

Meng Qi took a deep look at him, withdrew his gaze, and continued to flip through the files, saying as if nothing had happened: "Plain female Taoism is directly inherited from Jiutian Xuannv. There are fragments of the immortal world, and its profound foundation is naturally far beyond the imagination of outsiders like us, and also surpasses those of you." Non-Core Location Imagination.”

"What the chief catcher said is absolutely true," Liu Shengming said with a smile.

"Before the news of the emperor's sudden death came and the Shendu Formation was fully activated, was there any movement on the straight line from here to the palace, and what strangers appeared?" Meng Qi asked Yagyu while reading this part of the record carefully. bright.

Liu Shengming shook his head and said: "It was under normal conditions at that time. The Shendu Formation was only operating at the lowest level and no abnormalities were sensed. Moreover, it happened to be spring thunder that night, with heavy rain. There were few pedestrians on the road and the sky was covered by dark clouds. The people around No clues have been found, and no one has seen anything strange in the air. Now the police officers of each squad are taking the time to investigate the nearby area. "

In an emergency, Sima Shi must fly to the palace. If there is an ambush, it must be in mid-air, so Yagyu Ming mentioned the abnormality in mid-air.

"What a pity..." Meng Qi sighed in a low voice. If there were orbiting satellites and various surveillance systems here, and surveillance videos could be saved for a short period of time without the Shendu array being fully activated, then things would be much simpler. Just read the video of the corresponding area and time period to view.

But after a second thought, he gave up the idea, because the level of outdoor scenes can deceive satellites and monitors, unless there is special targeting, which means that the level itself will not be low, and full operation will consume a lot of money, so he and At present, there is not much difference if the Shendu formation is completely activated. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

We can only gradually explore, integrate similar ideas, reduce consumption as much as possible, and slowly improve. This is long-term success and cannot be achieved in a short time.

The spark of inspiration caused by the conflict between the two systems flashed away. Meng Qi asked and read at the same time. It was in the evening that he finished reading the file without missing any detail.

At this time, the Political Affairs Hall had approved his appointment as the temporary chief arrester of the six gates, and the emperor's younger brother Zhao Heng issued an imperial edict. However, because it was only a temporary appointment, he did not have the title of political advisor or the title of marquis.

After closing the file, Meng Qi glanced sideways at Liu Shengming and said calmly: "It's too late today. I will follow someone into the palace tomorrow to ask about Concubine Mei."

"You still want to ask Concubine Mei?" Liu Shengming looked surprised.

Meng Qi looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "You have been a skilled arrester for many years and have handled countless cases. How could you not see that the key to the disappearance of Mr. Sima's arrest was the sudden death of the emperor? This matter must be investigated again? "

Liu Shengming's surprised expression quickly faded, and he said with a smile: "The humble position has few talents and little knowledge. How can the chief catcher think so far? Please ask the chief catcher to explain to the humble position."

"If Mr. Sima arrested the head and left on his own, why not sooner rather than later, just after the news of the emperor's sudden death came?" Meng Qi stood up and paced, "If he didn't do it voluntarily, he was 'robbed' by someone, and the timing of the ambush was preset. It must be accurate, too late, the Shendu Formation is fully activated, and it is impossible to set up a trap; too early, things can change at any time, there are too many changes, and it is easy to expose the trap. Only when you know that Chief Sima will leave Zhu Yilou and go to Those in the imperial palace are able to keep their wits about them and not try to succeed."

"This is either because he knew in advance that the emperor would die suddenly that night, or he blocked the news for a period of time, and only informed Mr. Sima of the arrest after the arrangements were made."

"No matter what the reason is, whether it is voluntary or passive, it is inseparable from the seemingly normal sudden death of the emperor, and it is the entry point of the investigation."

Not to mention the dividing line between the two rituals, the map of the mountains, rivers, and land, and other treasures. If they want to blend into the void and merge into the heaven and earth without being discovered, they must absorb the power of the user in advance. There is a limit to how long it can be maintained. Even the human immortal body cannot keep it in that state for half a day. above.

"The entry point..." Liu Shengming recalled these three words and immediately smiled, "The boss is always smart, and I will definitely gain something during the trip to the palace tomorrow."

He said goodbye and went out, leaving Meng Qi standing alone in the Zhuyi Building. The evening breeze passed through the window, making it a bit chilly, and the room was quiet.

Mr. Su Mengsu, the new chief arrester, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, and suddenly whispered: "Nima, why am I thinking about the case so intently, why did the emperor die suddenly, and where did Sima Shi disappear? It has nothing to do with me. !”

"But I still can't help but do it. I always want to find out the truth, destroy the conspiracy, and slap the face of the mastermind behind the scenes... I do what I love for my profession. I just became the chief catcher and I have to solve a major case?"

After a few words of slander, Meng Qi's thoughts returned to normal. This still had something to do with him. The mysterious disappearance of the six-door chief catcher was probably very involved. It was impossible to say that there was a huge conspiracy hidden. If he just ignored it, maybe he would It will corrupt the situation in the city of God, and involve everyone in the Su family. Su Ziyue and Zhao Laowu will not be spared. If the beneficiaries are still some of their evil enemies, allowing them to grow stronger will be a great threat to themselves.

Who calls me the evil nemesis!

Meng Qi walked to the window and looked out at the garden. It was already night, and instead of the hustle and bustle of the day, there were more teams of police officers patrolling back and forth.

Compared to the afternoon, people were much more peaceful. They let out a long sigh of relief after hearing the news about the new chief executive. Six Gates was still a powerful monster, a world-famous organization with powerful power.

However, the disappearance of Sima Shi still lingers in their hearts, and they are quite self-conscious. Even the chief arrester of the Grand Master level cannot escape this disaster, let alone themselves?

After watching for a while, Meng Qi left the window, lit the copper candle and pulled the screen to the side, constantly changing the angle and adjusting the position, which was quite hard and attentive.

After arranging the screens and other things, Meng Qi walked behind the desk, knelt down, straightened his back, picked up the file he had just read, and flipped through it again.

Not long after, a team of police officers led by Zishou patrolled nearby. Their morale was low and they were panic-stricken, fearing that they would encounter sudden changes.

At this moment, they saw a dim candlelight leaking out of a room on the second floor of Zhuyi Building, reflecting a black figure on the window paper. He knelt very straight, holding a scroll in his hand, with a leisurely posture, slowly flipping through it, as if he was not worried about possible enemies at all, and not worried about sudden changes that he could not resist.

He was so calm and composed, as if everything was under control and not worth mentioning.

This meaning unconsciously infected the patrolling police officers and soothed their panic-stricken hearts.

"Look, the chief police officer is reading by lamplight at night, so relaxed, nothing big will happen." Someone whispered.

"Yes, the chief constable must know more than us. If he is not worried, why should we be so anxious?" another constable echoed.

As patrol teams of constables passed by, a sense of stability and tranquility spread to every corner of the Six Gates Headquarters. Morale gradually recovered, and patrols became more and more detailed.

Meng Qi, who set an example of calmness, roughly flipped through the pile of files that he had read. It contained conversations between Chief Constable Sima Shi and constables at all levels half a month before the incident. They were all memories of the parties involved, but there was nothing worth noting, and he could not find the reason for his disappearance.

Meng Qi casually picked up another pile of files. The first one was a report from spies on the border between Northern Zhou and Jin. It was only two thin pages:

"The invasion of the grasslands from the south caused many sects and families to temporarily hide in the capitals of various states, causing disorder in small and medium-sized cities and villages. Many low-level warriors and civilians sought peace of mind from the gods. Three new sects emerged locally, one is the Wuji Holy Mother, one is the White Lotus Maitreya, and one is the Red Sun Goddess of Rescue. Their respective doctrines are..."

As he read, Meng Qi's thoughts focused on this part of the files. They were reports from the heads of police and spies in various government offices, and they described the current situation of the middle and lower classes.

"Locals have gathered refugees, opened charity schools, and helped the government maintain stability..."

"...There are many revival of wild temples and wild sacrifices in the countryside. There is often an altar for every 20 or 30 households. The worshippers include the Golden Mother, the Supreme Queen Mother, the Wuji Saint Ancestor, and the Supreme Queen Mother..."

"What I have seen in the countryside is worrying. They serve wild gods and address them with vulgar and intimate words, such as the Supreme Mother, Wusheng Dad, and Grandmother..."

The Supreme Mother, Wusheng Dad, and Grandmother...Meng Qi's mouth twitched, and he almost laughed out loud. The people's names are so simple!

After reading the secret reports one by one, Meng Qi found that there were mentions that the local police chiefs and yamen runners turned a blind eye to such things, did not crack down on them at all, and even covered them up, making it impossible for many spies to investigate in depth.

"The problem is a bit serious..." Meng Qi read more and more attentively, and soon came to the second to last one. This is a detailed report of what a secret agent saw and heard after joining the "Shimu Yuanjun Sect", a newly emerged sect:

"...When I first joined the sect, I couldn't contact the upper level. The first thing I was arranged to do was to listen to the "Jiaoku Mentor" explain the scriptures and communicate more with the church members..."

"A church member said that he had a serious illness and was in pain all year round. He had to take medicine and his family was overwhelmed. Fortunately, he met the Jiuku Mentor and joined the "Shimu Yuanjun" sect. After reciting scriptures and praying devoutly for a month, the pain disappeared. This wholehearted service to Yuanjun... There are countless similar cases, I don't know whether it is true or false, but the speaker is extremely pious..."

"The teacher who saves suffering always mentions that death is inevitable in life and destruction is inevitable in heaven and earth. Only by devoutly believing in the mother Yuanjun can one return to the holy land of bliss after death, achieve transcendence, and no longer suffer any suffering..."

"Starting today, it is considered possible to recite scriptures and pray. I don't know what will happen..."

"...My body is warm and comfortable, and my old injuries seem to have healed a lot..."

This is a report made up of reports one after another, and there is no follow-up.

As long as you recite scriptures and pray, you can get a response? Meng Qi frowned. Which of the gods today can do this?

They have limited divine power, and can only show their divine power by granting power to priests and shamans, and let them "shepherd believers" on their behalf. This one directly responds to prayers point by point and gives treatment, which is incredible.

Meng Qi continued to flip through the pages and saw the last page, which was written in red ink in small characters, which were extremely eye-catching. It looked like a summary of the file:

"After analyzing the doctrines, it was found that most of them have something in common. They are all called the ancestors, the supreme gods, the origin of all things, the destination of all things, and the compassionate ones who save people from suffering."

"The names of gods are mostly female images, with "mother" being the most common. The male images are quite vague, and are covered by the well-known Buddha, the god of salvation in Buddhism and Taoism."

……

"To sum up, most of the suspected aliases of 'The Mother of No Birth' are tributaries of the Luo Cult that deceive the good people. They preach on a large scale and penetrate into the middle and lower class people and warriors, which may become a big problem."

"Zi Shou Constable Zu Cun Shen."

The Mother of No Birth... Meng Qi silently recited these four words, and he had similar guesses while reading. If it was him, it would be possible to do it, as long as... Well, this Zi Shou Constable was quite good at extracting the core content from the complex intelligence, summarizing and inferring, which was quite good!

Moreover, for similar files, the summary and distillation should be placed at the top, so that Sima Shi can understand the general content and importance at a glance, and then choose which one to review first.

Now the summary is at the bottom, which means Sima Shi has just finished reading this file and has not had time to restore it, and the order is just reversed!

"Only the Six Gates can really pay attention to the detailed changes in the middle and lower levels. The sects and families are a little bit high and mighty..." Meng Qi sighed, and immediately ordered the Jin Zhang Constable on duty outside to invite Zu Cun Shen to come.

After a while, Zu Cun Shen, who was tall but elegant, was led into the Zhuyi Building.

"I pay my respects to the Chief Constable." Zu Cun Shen seemed to guess why Meng Qi wanted to ask, and subconsciously glanced at the file.

"Sit down." Meng Qi pointed to the chair next to him.

Zu Cun Shen walked there, with only half of his buttocks touching the chair, his back straight, and respectfully waiting for the Chief Constable to ask questions.

"When was this file delivered to Chief Constable Sima?" Meng Qi raised the object in his hand.

Zu Cun Shen did not think back and said directly:

"The day when Chief Constable Sima disappeared."
