Xu Ran's reason for choosing these two cases is not because the victims are either rich or noble.

In Mr. Xie’s case, the first suspect is Taoist Aoki.

The Qingmu Taoist is related to Wangxiang Zhacai Shop.

The paper-cut spirit soldiers from Wangxiang Zhacai Shop tried to move Zhang Yuner.

Therefore, Xu Ran had to take action at Wangxiang Zacai Shop, and took advantage of the opportunity to investigate the case to facilitate the investigation of the truth and reality.

As for the case of the Song family, on the one hand, Xu Ran said that the incident process is very similar to the story of "squirting water" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". Even the name and name of the owner of the family are exactly the same, which is equivalent to giving Xu Ran a clue to find.

In addition, new ghosts are very likely to appear in the case. In the original story, the ghost is not strong. It was dug out of the ground by a few mortals and used a shovel and picket to deal with it.

Xu Ran urgently needs such a monster with a low level and low risk, and can continue to give experience values.

...

All the servants from the county government were sent out, and the county magistrate Zhong asked Zhao Wu and Ma Daguo to guard the squad and personally took Xu Ran and Lao Wang to the Xie family.

Along the way, County Magistrate Zhong introduced the case in detail. Xu Ran calculated the general situation based on his own knowledge.

Three days ago, Mr. Xie, who was taking a book boy out for a trip, returned home. His face turned pale and tired. He was happy with the beautiful woman in Shuli for a minute, and he was tired after spending an hour in the past.

So he reluctantly had dinner with Mr. Xie and his wife. He did not let the children accompany him to read, nor did he not want the maid to warm the bed, so he went to bed early.

When he was sleeping until midnight, the confused book boy Xie An heard something in the young master's bedroom and shouted for many times but no one answered.

After panicked Xie An called someone to break in and found that Mr. Xie was lying on the ground, losing his breath, and there was a huge blue-purple handprint on his neck, as if he had been strangled to death by a man of the size two.

The Xie family suddenly became in chaos. Mr. Xie asked Xie An if the young master had offended anyone when he went out. Only then did Xie An remembered that during the day, he met a fortune teller in a restaurant on the side of the road. He said that the young master had his life worry within three days, so he told the story.

Mr. Xie quickly ordered Xie An and the housekeeper to invite Wangxiang Zhacai Shop to find Taoist priests, and he indeed invited the person.

It is said that the Xie family gave the Taoist priest 500 taels of silver. The Taoist priest practiced at the Xie family all night. When the sunrises the next day, Mr. Xie miraculously resurrected.

After the resurrection, Mr. Xie did not study, did not go out to make friends, nor did he harm the little maids in the mansion. He only wanted to sell his assets and raise money, and asked someone to ask about the talented people and strangers in the world.

Mr. Xie asked him the reason, but he refused to say it at all. Then he reported the case again, suspected that the Taoist priest had tampered with him.

...

Xie Youcai heard that the county magistrate came to the door in person and brought a monk to welcome him with great face.

Seeing the middle-aged fat rich man in front of him, his face was haggard and his eyes were swollen, Xu Ran almost retelled the story of the matter in a crying manner, which was very similar to what County Magistrate Zhong said.

He then felt a little more sympathy and said, "Take us to see Mr. Xie first. Master has a Buddhist method to exorcise evil spirits, which may help the son to restore his mind."

Xie Youcai said yes, letting the butler lead the way, and accompanying Lao Wang, he walked through the second yard and came to the locked yard gate of the third yard.

The servant guarding the door opened the door lock, and Lao Wang signaled everyone to stop. He pushed the door open and walked in first, sniffed and said, "Brother Xu, there is evil spirit here..."

Xie Youcai was so scared that he shivered. The butler on the side quickly supported him, "Master, save my son, you can do as much money as you want!"

Lao Wang shook his head vigorously.

Xu Ran patted his shoulder and signaled them to retreat, saying helplessly: "I'm afraid no matter how much money you give, it's useless. The people in the room are not people, they are all monsters."

"snort……"

He felt heartbroken by his son and feared monsters. Xie Youcai snorted, rolled his eyes and fainted in the butler's arms.

County Magistrate Zhong quietly pulled out his waist knife, approached Xu Ran, and whispered: "Can you see it?"

"cannot……"

Of course Xu Ran would not admit it, the system could give him a prompt.

"Didn't you see the master shaking his head? This is a code word between me and him. You can stay here to take care of Mr. Xie so that he will not ask us for a son later."

County Magistrate Zhong was clever and quickly went to pinch the people who Xie Youcai. If the old guy was falsely accused of the constable and killed his son by chance, he would be unable to tell the difference.

Xu Ran followed Lao Wang quietly, entered the room and quickly retreated, signaling them to come in.

The housekeeper and the county magistrate Zhong woke up with one side, and Xie Youcai, who was limp and entered the house.

Lao Wang stepped on Mr. Xie's back waist, and the other foot was on the neck of the book Tong Xie An. He stood in the middle of the study with a bronze demon-subduing pestle in his hand. The two of them were trampled and kicked, but they could not break free.

"Mr. Zhong, please pull the curtains."

Xu Ran closed the door and blocked the part with the window lattice paper on the door with the quilt, and the room suddenly became dark.

"What are you doing?" Xie Youcai, who understood the taste, broke free from the butler's arm and was about to snatch Mr. Xie on the ground. "He is my son, where is the monster?"

Lao Wang used force at the same time, and stepped on the two people under his feet.

There was no terrifying scene of blood and blood. Where the two men's bodies were cracked, they exposed to torn paper and broken bamboo strips.

Mr. Xie and the book boy Xie An were two paper-cutting spirit soldiers.

Two black air swelled up, and before they could escape, they were hit by two golden lights falling from the sky. The black air was like water droplets dripping on the charcoal fire, making a squeak sound. In a blink of an eye, the black air disappeared, leaving two faint human-shaped phantoms.

It is the ghost of Mr. Xie and the book boy Xie An.

"My place..."

Xie Youcai burst into tears, stepped forward and hugged Mr. Xie's ghost, but pounced on the air and passed through the phantom.

Mr. Xie seemed to be wiping tears, kneeling down for Xie Youcai, crying: "Father must ask the master to avenge the child. The child died so miserably..."

Xie Youcai was crying and could no longer speak. County Magistrate Zhong, who was standing beside him, quickly said, "Mr. Xie, who harmed you?"

Mr. Xie's ghost said: "I just fell asleep that night, but I was suddenly awakened by a strange sound. I saw a crack in the window and a piece of yellow paper floated in.

As soon as the paper landed, it turned into an evil ghost with a height of nearly a foot with two horns on his head. He pinched my neck without saying anything. I couldn't break free, but he was strangled to death.

After that, the evil ghost swallowed my ghost, and I knew nothing when I saw it dark.

When I woke up again, I found myself being grabbed by the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest was doing something, trying to hold me in this paper-made body, and when I saw my father, mother and the guys at home, I surrounded this body, no matter how I struggled and shouted, everyone seemed to be unable to see me.

After the Taoist priest finished his method, I was detained in the paper-tied body and knew nothing again.

Later, I only knew that I was performing the will of the Taoist priest in a daze. It was not until a golden light fell on me that I regained my mind.”

The ghost of Xie An, the book boy next to him, also tells a similar experience of his soul being sealed in a paper body.

County Magistrate Zhong said in confusion: "When did you get killed? Who was you killed?"

The ghost of Shutong said, "I was not strangled to death by the evil ghost, but I was killed in the Zhacai Shop, Wangxiang when I went to invite the old Taoist."

County Magistrate Zhong asked, "Why wasn't he killed when the butler went with you?"

Shutong said inexplicably: "Who said the housekeeper was not killed? He saw with his own eyes that he was stabbed into his throat by a paper cutter, blood flowing, and he died after kicking his legs for a few times..."

"etc!"

County Magistrate Zhong pointed to the butler who was supporting Xie Youcai, "Look at him, aren't he but the butler?"
