Chapter 855 Do what you do and 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 this 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 temporary appointment as the 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 it was not voluntary, 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 the 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 head of the six sects 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 setting up the screen layout, Meng Qi walked behind the desk, knelt down, straightened his back, picked up the file he had just read, and read through it again.

Not long after, a group of headhunters led by Zi Shou patrolled nearby. Their morale was low and their hearts were in panic, for fear of encountering a sudden change.

At this moment, they saw dim candlelight leaking from a room on the second floor of Zhuyi Building, and a black figure was reflected on the window paper. He was sitting upright on his knees, holding a book in his hand, with a leisurely posture, and slowly flipped through the pages. , doesn’t seem to be worried about possible enemies or the emergence of unstoppable mutations.

He was so calm and calm, as if everything was under control and not worth a moment.

This meaning unknowingly infected the patrol leaders and soothed their frightened hearts.

"Look, the boss stays up all night reading, so relaxed that nothing big will happen." Someone whispered.

"Yes, the chief catcher definitely knows more than us. He's not worried. Why should we be anxious?" Another catcher agreed.

As the patrols passed by to capture the heads, a sense of stability and calm spread to every angle of the six-door headquarters. Morale gradually recovered, and the patrols became more meticulous.

Meng Qi, who was setting an example of calmness, briefly browsed through the pile of files he had read. They contained conversations between Chief Sima Shi and the arrests at all levels half a month before the incident. They were all recalled by the parties involved, but there was nothing worth mentioning. Wherever I looked, I couldn't find a reason for his disappearance.

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

"The southern invasion of the grasslands caused many sects and aristocratic families to temporarily hide in various states and cities, causing chaos in small and medium-sized cities and villages. Many low-level warriors and common people sought peace of mind from Shinto. Three new sects emerged in the local area. One is the Our Lady of Wuji , one is White Lotus Maitreya, and the other is Red Sun Rescue Empress, their respective teachings are..."

As he looked at it, Meng Qi's thoughts focused on this part of the files. They were the returns from local government officials' arrests and spies, and they were descriptions of the current situation of the middle and lower classes.

"The local government has recruited refugees and established volunteer scholars to help the government maintain stability..."

"...There has been a revival in the number of wild rituals in the countryside. Twenty or thirty households often have an altar. The worshippers include the Golden Mother, the Supreme Queen Mother, the Wuji Holy Ancestor, and the Supreme Queen Mother..."

"What I see in the countryside is very worrying. They serve wild gods and use vulgar and intimate terms to address each other, such as the supreme mother, the unborn father, the old grandmother..."

Supreme Mother, Wu Sheng Dad, Grandma... Meng Qi's mouth twitched and he almost didn't laugh out loud. The names of the people are so simple!

Reading through the secret reports one by one, Meng Qi found that it was mentioned that the local police officers turned a blind eye to such things, did not attack them at all, and even covered them up, which prevented many spies from conducting in-depth investigations.

"The problem is a bit serious..." Meng Qi became more and more immersed in reading, and soon came to the penultimate report. This was a detailed report about a new spy who had joined the "First Mother Yuanjun Sect". What I saw and heard after the sect emerged:

"...When I first joined the sect, I still had no access to the upper levels. The first thing I was assigned to do was to listen to the 'Suffering Master' explain the scriptures and communicate more with the believers..."

"Some believers said that they were suffering from a serious illness and suffered from constant pain. They were constantly in need of medicine and their family was overwhelmed. Fortunately, they met a mentor who helped relieve suffering and joined the 'Original Mother Yuanjun' sect. After reciting scriptures and praying devoutly for a month, the pain disappeared on its own. , so I serve Yuan Jun wholeheartedly... There are countless similar situations, I don’t know whether they are true or false, but the people who spoke out all behaved extremely piously..."

"The master who saves suffering always mentions that death is inevitable in life, and the destruction of heaven and earth is inevitable. Only by devoutly believing in the First Mother Yuanjun can one return to the holy realm of bliss after death, achieve the state of 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 feels warm and comfortable, and my old injuries seem to have healed a lot..."

This is a report spliced ​​together from one report after another, and there is no follow-up.

Just reciting scriptures and praying will get a response? Meng Qi frowned. Who among the gods today can achieve this level?

Their own divine power is limited, and they can only show their divine power by giving power to priests, shamans, etc., and they "shepherd the believers" on their behalf. This person directly responds to prayers point-to-point and provides treatment, which is simply incredible.

Meng Qi continued to scroll down and saw the last page. On it were small red letters, which were extremely eye-catching. It looked like a summary of the dossier:

"After analyzing the teachings, we found that most of them have something in common. They are all called the ancestors and the supreme god. They are the beginning of all things, the destination of everything, and the compassionate one who saves the suffering."

"Most of the gods' names are female, with 'Mother' being the most important. The male image is quite vague, covered by Buddha, a well-known rescuing deity from both Buddhism and Taoism."

"To sum up, most of the suspected "Wu Sheng Lao Mu" aliases are tributaries of Luo Jiao's deception. They preach on a large scale and penetrate deeply into the middle and lower classes of people and warriors, which may cause serious trouble."

"The purple ribbon captures the head of the ancestor and saves the god."

Innocent old mother... Meng Qi silently recited these four words, and while reading, he had similar guesses. If it were Him, it would indeed be possible, as long as... Well, this purple-striped head catcher is quite good at making things as complicated as smoke. It’s quite impressive to extract the core content from Hai’s intelligence and summarize the inferences!

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

The summary is now at the bottom, which shows that Sima Shi just finished reading this dossier and before he had time to restore it, the order happened to be reversed!

"Only with six doors can we really notice the detailed changes in the middle and lower classes. The sects and aristocratic families are a bit superior..." Meng Qi sighed, and immediately ordered Jin Zhang, who was on duty outside, to catch the head and invite Zu Cunshen to come.

After a while, Zu Cunshen, who was tall but elegant in temperament, was introduced into Zhuyi Tower.

"I'm humble enough to meet the Chief Catcher." Zu Cunshen seemed to have guessed that Meng Qi wanted to ask why, and subconsciously glanced at the file.

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

Zu Cunshen walked there, with only the lower half of his butt touching the seat, his back straight, and he respectfully waited for the chief catcher to ask questions.

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

Zu Cun Shen did not think back and said straightforwardly:

"The day Mr. Sima disappeared."
