The Demon Road of the Republic of China

The Lin family is also located along the moat.

A small white building is quite stylish, standing by the water, the carved iron gate is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and there are a few withered water lilies in the pond beside the path.

Holding a palm-sized compass in his hand, Gu Jinghan and Rong Fei walked in slowly.

Ever since he saw Gu Jinghan's ability at the ball tonight, Lin Tao's heart has not calmed down for a moment.

There are many dignitaries and dignitaries in Haicheng, and there are many secrets, so naturally there are many strange and ghostly things.That's why the incense of Fengyang Temple outside the city is so strong.But from Lin Tao's point of view, the Gu family's youngest, a younger generation, is superior to those old Taoist priests.

"As for gloves, Xuan'er doesn't usually wear them," Madam Lin said with a sad face, tears still on her face, "I put them on this morning, but I didn't pay attention, I just thought she was wearing them to match tonight's clothes. If Something happened to Xuan'er...I, I..."

Before I finished speaking, I couldn't stop crying.

Lin Tao embraced Mrs. Lin's shoulders, with gloom between his brows, he said, "Master Gu, no matter what, we all want to find Xuan'er."

Hearing this, Gu Jinghan couldn't help being a little surprised, looked at Lin Tao and said, "Anyway, it doesn't matter whether it's dead or alive?"

Lin Tao's words clearly indicated that he was mentally prepared.

"Xuan'er, she..." Mrs. Lin choked on her sobs.

Gu Jinghan put away the compass, raised his chin slightly: "Go to Miss Lin's room."

After comforting Mrs. Lin in a low voice, Lin Tao asked someone to help Mrs. Lin to rest, and personally took Gu Jinghan and Rong Fei upstairs to Lin Jingxuan's bedroom.

Lin Jingxuan's bedroom looks like an ordinary boudoir lady.

The dressing table is a little messy, and the European-style bed is surrounded by gauze curtains, which are azure like thin smoke.

After entering the room, Gu Jinghan walked around first, then looked at the head of the bed for a while, looked at the top of the bed curtain, and said: "Mr. ?”

A trace of panic flashed across Lin Tao's face. Obviously, he didn't expect that Gu Jinghan would say it so casually after his family had covered it up until now, and even the police station hadn't gotten the news.But seeing the drowsy Rong Fei who was yawning all the time, Lin Tao had no choice but to swallow all of his complicated expressions.

Their Lin family cannot be compared with the Rong family at all.

"Will this help in finding Xuan'er?" Lin Tao asked.

Before Gu Jinghan could speak, Rong Fei glanced at him impatiently, and said with a sneer, "We are looking for a daughter for you right now, and you are begging us, not us begging you. Damn, my young master is not interested in the dirty things of your family at all. Just stop pretending, okay?"

Lin Tao was embarrassed by what was said, his chubby face flushed, and he hurriedly said, "This incident... started two months ago."

Two months ago, it was the birthday of Lin Tao's son, Lin Jingxuan's younger brother, Lin Jingshui.

Lin Jingshui is withdrawn and likes to be quiet. She often reads alone in the house and doesn't like to talk.Even Lin Tao and Mrs. Lin may not be able to talk to him at the end of the day.

The only exception is Lin Jingxuan, the elder sister.Lin Jingshui likes Lin Jingxuan very much, and the two often play together.

Compared with Lin Jingshui's eccentricities, Lin Jingxuan has a gentle temperament, is very popular, and has many friends.

Lin Jingshui's birthday, the day of adulthood, should have been a big day.But he didn't have any friends to come to celebrate, so Lin Jingxuan invited many of her friends to congratulate her brother.

A western-style birthday party was held with great success.

However, in the early morning of the next day, a scream broke the remnant dream built by joy.

Waking up from a tired sleep, Lin Jingxuan opened her eyes and saw a pair of bright red embroidered shoes hanging in the air.

Dried blood stains coagulated on the bed quilt, turning into dark black stains.

His gaze moved upwards stiffly, and he was facing a face that had been peeled off and bloody. A piece of red silk was hung around his neck. The corpse was slightly dangling in mid-air. His head was hanging in a strange posture, with a pair of dark eyes. Looking towards the head of the bed.

Lin Jingxuan almost went crazy from fright.

She screamed crazily, staggered down from the bed with her head in her arms, and slammed into the arms of Lin Tao who was rushing over.

Seeing the horrifying and terrifying scene in front of him, Lin Tao's first reaction was to report to the police station.

But Lin Jingshui, who followed in the door, said something that made him have to give up the idea: "Father, I drank too much last night and took her body. She once called for help to her sister, but she ignored her. Maybe I can't think about it, so I threaten my sister with suicide."

Occupying a maid, this kind of thing is not uncommon for high-ranking and wealthy families.

Human life is worthless, and it is nothing.

Lin Tao thought about it for a moment, then decided to press the matter down, ordered someone to secretly dispose of the maid's body, and sealed her mouth.

He felt something strange from Lin Jingshui's attitude and the maid's body, but Lin Jingshui was his only son, and he was reluctant to take any risk.

After this matter passed, it was quiet for a long time, and Lin Tao almost forgot about it.

However, on the second day when Lin Jingxuan went to Peiping.

The azure veil was spattered with red blood spots, and the corpse of a maid was hanging on the empty bed, with her torn face silently facing the quilt.

This time, Lin Jingshui also showed horror.

Lin Tao didn't show it on the surface, but inside he was terrified.

He realized that things might not be as simple as he thought.But the first time has already been suppressed, if the second report is involved and the first time is involved, then the success will fall short, and it will be hard to tell whether it is reasonable or not.So, Lin Tao kept the matter a secret again.

"The third time... was last night."

Lin Tao's eyes were complicated, and there was still a little fear, "Since Rong Shao has investigated, he must have known about it. The method of death is exactly the same as the previous two. He was drained of blood, skinned, and hung on Xuan'er's bed."

"This morning, Ms. Lin found out that someone was hanged by the bed, is she still screaming in horror like the first time?" Gu Jinghan asked.

Lin Tao smiled wryly and nodded, "That's right. I helped Xuan'er to rest at her mother's place, but I didn't notice anything wrong. At that time, maybe it was Xuan'er herself? I was really confused..."

Gu Jinghan raised his eyes and said, "Where's the body of that maid last night?"

Lin Tao was slightly taken aback, "In the morning... I was buried."

"Dig it out." Gu Jinghan's expression was indifferent, and a condensed look flashed in his eyes, "That is your daughter."

Lin Tao's eyes widened in astonishment, he staggered, and sat down on the chair behind him.

He stared blankly for a moment, wiped his face slowly, and spoke again, with a hoarse voice, "Master Gu is a celestial master, right? Can you do a ritual for Xuan'er? How much money, my Lin family can afford, I just hope she's on the way...to make it easier."

When Rong Fei heard this, his half-closed sleepy eyes suddenly opened.

His daughter died, and he didn't want to find the murderer, but wanted to do something. This was the first time he saw her.

Turning his head to look at Gu Jinghan, as if he was calm and determined, Rong Fei closed his eyes again, quietly leaned on Gu Jinghan's back, and continued to doze off.

"what are you guys saying?!"

The door of the room was knocked open suddenly, and a pale and thin young man appeared at the door, his dark eyes fixed on Gu Jinghan, "You said, sister is dead?"

Gu Jinghan tilted his head, frowned slightly, and was about to speak, when he saw Lin Tao stand up suddenly, and scolded: "Jingshui, what are you doing out? You haven't recovered from your illness yet, why are you running around? Go back to your room!"

After a few steps, Lin Jingshui rushed in front of Lin Tao. The veins on Lin Jingshui's forehead bulged, and he stared at Lin Tao with a distorted expression on his face: "Father, my sister is dead... my sister is dead! Who is the murderer? Who killed my sister? Are you Don't you want to find a murderer at all?!...No, no! It's impossible for my sister to die...Bring my sister back, bring her back, I can save her!"

The expression on Lin Jingshui's face changed several times, sometimes ferocious and angry, sometimes hesitant and then ecstatic, grabbed Lin Tao's shoulder and shook it vigorously.

"You can't save her."

Gu Jinghan suddenly said, "You killed her and raised her, didn't you?"
