He Wuxi and Lu Mingjue have been investigating the disappearance of ghosts in the city for some reason. To do this, they. It took a lot of time, a lot of energy, and a lot of hardships.

Sneak out without sleeping at night, and come to the land of extreme yin in the dead of night.

But from beginning to end, only the two of them are investigating this matter. Whether it is the official Ability Department or the masters hidden in the people, they can't even see the shadow.

It seems that in the whole city, only the two of them are capable people.

But just recently, they occasionally saw one or two figures in the hospital and uninhabited cemetery at night. When they found it, the figure flickered and disappeared completely.

When the two chased after them, there was nothing, only shallow footprints on the ground. Sometimes, there are not even footprints.

"What's going on? Look at the other person's appearance, it doesn't look like a ghost. Looking at the disappearing shadow, He Wuxi couldn't help asking.

"It's not a ghost, it should be some senior master. Lu Mingjue replied uncertainly.

We've been investigating this for a while, and we've never seen any masters. What does it mean to come out of nowhere? Is it to warn us not to meddle in this matter? He Wuxi said with some unhappiness.

"I don't know, maybe they're starting to feel that something is wrong. It's also possible that they were secretly watching from the beginning, but we just don't know it. We haven't made any progress so far, so I want to give us a hint. ”

"Hint, then there should be some clues left, but what is this. Don't tell me, it's the barely visible footprints. ”

Maybe......

Lu Mingjue didn't say it, because what he thought was that maybe he really understood what he said, in order to warn them not to meddle in this matter.

There was no more information, and neither of them was willing to give up, so they continued to investigate.

It's a bit strange to talk about this. From a supernatural point of view, nothing else happened except for the disappearance of the lonely ghosts in the city. The killing of those homeless people was completely man-made, and it was not a supernatural event at all.

Of course, they didn't see the marks left by the ghosts on those corpses.

However, there really aren't any other clues.

The mastermind, the monk, had committed suicide, and his body was charred......

☯☯☯☯☯

But this matter, in Chen Tao's view, is not without clues. He already knew the true identity of the monk from Cao Linyue and understood his past. So he vaguely guessed that the reason why the monk killed so many people was most likely because he needed so many souls to save his son.

His son's body should be hidden in the Buddha.

Now that the Buddha has exploded, there is nothing in it, there is only one possibility, the body has been taken away.

Filled with a large number of corpses of ghosts, it is impossible to resurrect them. Now he is a walking corpse.

Since the corpse is fed by ghosts, it is important to continue to replenish new ghosts until it is completely stable.

But during this time, he also secretly did some investigations. In addition to discovering that there are more high-ranking people of unknown origin in the city, they have gradually recovered some dead energy. At those intersections, in the hospital morgue, you can occasionally see some newly dead ghosts.

When it comes to the breath of death, or words like necromancy, ghosts, and lonely ghosts, there is always an interesting fear in people's minds, thinking that it is ominous, and preferring to see them disappear forever.

But the origin and extinction of fate, life and death, are all natural.

Where there is life, there is death.

There are creatures born in the sun, and there are dead souls that exist in the shadows.

The presence of necromancy in the city is a sign that he is restoring the balance of nature. But because of this, Chen Tao felt strange.

There is an evil corpse that is a collection of countless dead spirits who are missing, but the surroundings are still recovering, which is not normal in itself.

The most likely reason for this silence is that someone is trying to provide for the evil corpse in some other way to calm it down for a while.

Chen Tao believes that this person did not do this to protect everyone, he must have other purposes. It's just that Chen Tao doesn't know this.

If he told Cao Linyue what he knew, as well as his guesses, he should be able to analyze something. But this matter is not as simple as a super ghost, he naturally can't let Cao Linyue participate.

For this reason, he deliberately used the "face masking technique" for himself.

As the saying goes, each other is born from the heart, and the heart is irritable, and there is a melancholy on the face. When I was happy in my heart, I was happy on my face.

Now Chen Tao is worried about the unknown evil corpse, and with Cao Linyue's keen observation ability, he can naturally see it. If she had the heart, she would soon know.

That's why Chen Tao used the mask mask, so that in the eyes of outsiders, he was always full of spring.

Of course, it is understandable to be able to associate with a beauty like Cao Linyue, full of spring. What's more, in a few days, it will be Cao Linyue's grandfather Cao Qingxi's birthday, and Cao Linyue has already made an appointment with Chen Tao.

According to Cao Linyue, she, the grandfather, is very much in favor of them being together.

In order to leave a good impression in front of his grandfather who supported him, Chen Tao put down everything in the past few days, concentrated on understanding Cao Qingxi's preferences from Cao Linyue, and prepared to choose a good gift.

For this reason, Feng Yunlong spent a lot of money and prepared an outfit for Chen Tao from the inside out.

His birthday happened to be a Saturday, and Chen Tao specially asked Zhong Mingrou to put on makeup for him before going out with a gift.

Watching Chen Tao's departure, Zhong Mingyan sighed with emotion: "I hope they can do well." ”

"Good things are grinding. Feng Yunlong said at an untimely time.

"What do you mean, could it be that there will be any ups and downs between them?" Zhong Mingyan immediately captured the meaning of this sentence.

Feng Yunlong immediately covered his mouth, and said angrily: "No, I don't say." ”

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Zhong Mingyan walked over to open the door, and said to himself curiously: "At this time, who will it be? Could it be He Wuxi, this guy hasn't been here for a long time since he was mixed with Lu Mingjue." ”

The door opened, and it turned out to be Guo Jialing standing outside.

"Hey, why are you here? While welcoming Guo Jialing in, Zhong Mingyan asked.

At the same time as Guo Jialing sat down, Zhong Mingyan found that she was carrying a handbag in her hand, which seemed to be containing clothes.

"My brother asked me to call Feng Yunlong, saying that he had something to discuss. ”

"I see, I'm getting ready to go. ”

"Also. Guo Jialing continued: "My brother asked me to live here for the past two days. ”

When she said this, Feng Yunlong was walking to Zhong Mingyan's side, patted her shoulder, and said earnestly: "It's okay to come out, but don't go overboard, pay attention to your body." ”

As soon as he said this, Zhong Mingyan had already kicked it. But how quickly Feng Yunlong reacted, he had already seized the door and fled.

Looking at Guo Jialing again, her face was flushed by this sentence.

☯☯☯☯☯

When Chen Tao got out of the car, Cao Linyue was already waiting for him there.

"Sorry, it's late. Chen Tao hurriedly explained apologetically.

"You're not late, I'm early. ”

Although Cao Linyue was smiling, Chen Tao still noticed that there was a hint of irritability on his face.

Celebrating grandpa's birthday was originally a festive event, how could he be irritable.

If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, you have suppressed the worries in your heart, how can you provoke Cao Linyue's worries at this time. If there is anything, wait until Monday to discuss it at school.

Although he didn't think about it, soon, Chen Tao knew what Cao Linyue was bothered about?

When Old Man Cao celebrates his birthday, there will naturally be other outsiders to celebrate. For example, Cao Linyue's ex-boyfriend and their family.

Of course, in their eyes, this Chen Tao is an outsider. I was an outsider before, and I will not be my own in the future.

Although he hates Chen Tao, he still has a polite greeting on his face.

"Lin Yue, you come back and pull!" the ex-boyfriend's mother greeted her as if she were welcoming her daughter. "Who is this?" Then, as if he didn't know who Chen Tao was, he deliberately dragged out his voice and asked.

"Oh, this is Lin Yue's classmate, I heard that my father had a birthday today, so I took the initiative to come over to celebrate my birthday. ”

Cao Xingzhou sang and harmonized with the other party, and regarded Chen Tao as an uninvited guy at all.

When he heard these words in Chen Tao's ears, he was naturally displeased, but he could neither be angry at Cao Xingzhou, nor at his ex-boyfriend's parents, so as not to leave a bad impression on Cao Qingxi on this occasion.

Chen Tao can bear it, but Cao Linyue can't bear it.

I saw her holding Chen Tao's hand, walking in front of everyone, coming directly to Cao Qingxi, and said loudly: "Grandpa, this is my boyfriend, Chen Tao." ”

"Grandpa?" As he spoke, Chen Tao took off the gift box he had been holding in his hand and opened the lid with his other hand.

I saw that under the lid of the box, there was also a layer of glass cover. In the gift box is a beautiful stone carving. I saw a peach carved in the middle of the jade, and there were five bats around.

This is the most representative five-blessing birthday celebration in the folk birthday.

"Good, good. The old man smiled and handed over the gift.

Seeing that Chen Tao won the favor of the old man as soon as he made a move, Cao Xingzhou immediately glanced at his ex-boyfriend's father and said, "Jin Le, I heard that Wen Bai also carefully selected a gift for his father, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jin Wenbai's mother, Jiang Hua, immediately said: "This is a gift specially selected by Wenbai after running many large shopping malls." ”

As she spoke, she picked up the gift box that had been placed on the ground, stuffed it into her son's hand, and pushed him forward.

Jin Wenbai had no choice but to send the gift to Cao Qingxi and said, "Grandpa, it's a little meaning, it's not a tribute." ”

But Jin Wenbai did not follow his parents' initial instructions and opened the gift box to let the old man see the three-star wood carving of Fu Lushou inside.

And the old man just gave the gift to his subordinates and said: "Celebrating a birthday will cost your parents." ”

Seeing that the expected effect was not achieved, Cao Xingzhou said again: "Lin Yue, you are a student now, everything should be focused on studying, and having a boyfriend will affect your studies." ”

"Got it. Cao Linyue followed her father's words and said to Chen Tao: "My dad doesn't agree with us being together now, then let's break up first, and when I graduate from college, let's date again, how about it." ”

She has already made it clear that you don't let me fall in love during college, it's okay. I'll talk about it after I graduate, but if you want to force me to get back together with Jin Wenbai, that's impossible.

"You ......" Cao Xingzhou was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

And the Jinle couple on the side also saw everything in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts. His own son is like an abacus bead, dial it, move it, and he can't take the initiative.

That Jin Wenbai is also bitter in his heart. Obviously, I had found a girl I liked in college, but because of the opposition of my parents, I had to break up in the end. And he is not like Cao Linyue, who dares to resist. So now, he can only put his hope on Chen Tao and Cao Linyue. Expect them to break through their family's opposition so that their parents can let them go.

When everyone was at a stalemate, Cao Xingzhou's mobile phone rang, which alleviated the embarrassment of the scene in time.

I took out my mobile phone and saw that it was the number of the deputy director.

Is it important to call at this time?

A hint of ominous feeling inexplicably surged into his heart.

Everyone looked at Cao Xingzhou's face, from confusion when answering the phone to panic after hanging up the phone.

"What's the matter? Did the bureau get the case?" the wife asked, seeing her husband's stunned distraction.

"Oh, nothing. There's a report from the bureau asking me to deal with it now, and I won't eat at home at night, everyone, I'm sorry. ”

What kind of report needs to be dealt with, I can't even participate in my father's birthday banquet, it seems that something happened in the bureau.

After Cao Xingzhou left, the atmosphere was a little dull.

But driven by Cao Qingxi, it is not that there is nothing to say.

☯☯☯☯☯

On the way to the substation, Cao Xingzhou ran two red lights in a row.

It's not because he's too anxious, but what the deputy director said on the phone just now shocked him.

Last night, several police officers in the bureau were killed, and the bodies were split in two. The way to die was very cruel.

One man was cut off by the waist, and instead of dying immediately, he struggled for a while.

How could such a horrible thing happen, and who did it.

After slamming the car door shut, Cao Xingzhou entered the conference room directly.

Inside, smoke was already billowing, and it seemed that everyone was worried about it.

"What's the situation now?" Cao Xingzhou asked as soon as he entered the conference room.

"The medical examiner is performing an autopsy and the results are not yet available. The deputy director said.

"Does the General Administration already know about this?"

"Well, it's been reported. This matter is a little serious, and the General Bureau and several other sub-bureaus are also afraid that their own people will be poisoned, and they are counting their subordinates, and it is estimated that they will be afraid of people coming to understand the situation in the afternoon. ”

"Let's talk about the specifics of the matter first, and I'll listen. ”

☯☯☯☯☯

It turned out that the disappearance of the homeless man in the city has been bothering everyone.

With the case of the Big Buddha Temple solved, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just last night, a few colleagues in the bureau met to have a good meal after work, and then take a bath.

But just this morning, the family members of those people called one after another, asking if there was something to work overtime in the bureau again, and none of them went home.

Such a call, at first, did not arouse the vigilance of the officers on duty.

Because he knew those people, he must go to the dog meat stall in the alley in the west of the city, and then go to the public bath not far away. The public bathhouse was open 24 hours a day, and I think the gang should have fallen asleep there.

He had also participated in such a party, and the person on duty couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he thought of the delicious dog meat pot.

But with a call to the police not long after, he was completely confused.
