"So coincidentally?"

I said with a slight surprise.

"I happen to be running an errand nearby, huh...... Look at the way you look, it seems to be hurt again?"

He looked at me and said with a smile.

"You don't know?" I said strangely, but before I could say it, I felt that something was wrong. Because I'm not sure that the person who came up that day and saved me must have been Hugo.

"What do you know? The reason for your injury? Haha, isn't it the daughter of a rich and powerful man you fell in love with being beaten like this, if that's the case, maybe I can still know. ”

Hugo opened his mouth and smiled even more happily.

I shook my head awkwardly, and he walked up to me and whispered, "If you're not busy, let's go have a drink." ”

"No, I still have something to do, and we will drink together if we have the chance. By the way, you call me, and I'll call you when I'm free. ”

As I was talking, I saw that he had slowly walked away, probably not hearing me, and waved at me and walked into the distance.

"Xiaoshan, who are you talking to?"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of voice behind me, and I looked back sharply to see that the fat man was clubbing behind me.

"A friend, far away. ”

"Oh, I'll take it for you, go back first, the old man has wrapped some meat buns with three fresh fillings, waiting for you to taste it." ”

The fat man saluted me as he spoke, and walked forward. I subconsciously glanced back, but there was no trace of Hugo, and I said to myself, "It's going pretty fast." ”

The fat man's house is really lively now, the little monk Huizhi, me and Luo Qiong have lived in before, and now there is such a little ghost as Cui Xiaoxiao, and the originally quiet life has become noisy.

Regarding Cui Xiaoxiao, I am very puzzled, this doubt comes from two aspects, the first is why it can talk to me normally, even other imps under the old woman who have advanced Taoist cultivation can't speak as smoothly as it. The second aspect is that since the old woman is dead, it stands to reason that the little ghost who was bound by her should also be free. After being imprisoned for so long, Cui Xiaoxiao, who survived, should have sunk into the underworld to find a chance to reincarnate.

After I was full of wine and food, I pulled the fat man and said, "Fat man, it's not a matter for us to stay small like this, after all, people and ghosts have different paths and cannot coexist." Besides, if Senior Han or Mr. Xu knew about raising a little ghost, it would definitely teach us a lesson. I think let's find a chance to send Xiaoxiao away. ”

"Send it away, where will you go?"

The fat man was slightly stunned and asked strangely.

"Reincarnation, Hades!"

"No, no......" I didn't expect the fat man to listen to my words, his head shook like a rattle, and he said no.

"What's the matter?

I asked curiously.

"Anyway, it has helped us so much, if it weren't for it, maybe we wouldn't have been able to fight that old woman. It will take a few years for the underworld to be reincarnated, and the ghosts in that place are tortured, and we can't pit it. ”

The fat man was soft-hearted, and at first he shouted that he didn't want it, but now he has become the favorite of it.

"Forget it, put this on hold until I find a way to get the best of both worlds. However, you still have little contact with Xiaoxiao, although you are vigorous, and you have practiced divine fighting, and you have the protection of the immortal family on your body, but after all, you are a mortal when you don't invite the law boy to come up. If your good fortune is sucked away a little, then it will be you who will suffer in the future. ”

I think very clearly about this, gratitude is gratitude, but I can't really let my brother fold in it.

Lying in bed at night, I sorted out my thoughts, and there were two important things to do at hand, both of which were related to monkeys. The circus and the monkey have to be dealt with at the same time, the fat man and I must divide the work, I am in charge of the circus murder case, and the fat man and Luo Qiong track down the whereabouts of the monkey. The fat man mentioned at dinner that there are many people in the circle who have come to Shanghai to chase monkeys recently, and the people on Mr. Tang's side have also called, urging us to hurry up and not be preempted by others.

Reaching out to the bedside table, the cigarette case should be placed on it, but I didn't get it for a long time. Strangely turned my head to see Cui's little puppet parked on my bedside table, looking at me. A sudden chill down my spine startled me and I sat up from the bed. In a dark room, a little ghost is silently approaching you, and it's not a good thing to think about it.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing in my room?"

I asked with an awkward smile.

It looked at me, and after a moment there was laughter in its voice, and said loudly: "Dad asked me to tell you, it will rain tomorrow morning, remember to bring an umbrella when you go out." Uncle, you can continue to rest. ”

With that, Xiao Xiao jumped off the bedside table, and a faint wind blew through the door, and it left my room. I looked at the bedside table, where Xiao Xiao was just standing, and next to it was a fruit knife that shimmered with cold light......

The next day, in the early morning drizzle, I stood in front of the third unit building on the back street with an umbrella, and after a while, Zhong Yong, who was smoking, walked down the stairs.

"Came early enough, boy. ”

He yawned, still smelling of smoke.

"Smoking early in the morning is not good for your health. ”

I said with a frown.

"You don't have to worry about it, you just need to focus on investigating the case. Where are we going to check today? Yesterday the intelligence officers on my side said that they had asked someone to summon spirits. Unfortunately, it didn't work out, and the conjuring person said that the woman's soul was locked up and couldn't get out. ”

Zhong Yong led me to the front and walked to his small pickup truck.

"Locked, what do you mean?"

It's also the first time I've heard of this kind of thing, and I asked strangely.

"It's just that someone trapped her soul and didn't let her come out. Hop on the bus......"

I sat in the passenger seat, thought for a moment, and said, "I want to see the autopsy report first, can you get it?" Also, I want to go into that circus and go around, I always feel that there is a big problem with that circus, and the breakthrough should be in the giant monkey I saw in the circus. ”

"No problem, we'll go get the autopsy report now. ”

I wanted to find some breakthroughs in the autopsy report first, and it turned out that I was right. I had always thought that her death was a magic mistake and that I had stabbed her to death with a sword, but it was strange that the autopsy report showed that the woman had died of suffocation. Could it be that in that tiny magic box, it couldn't breathe?

"Suffocated?"

I asked, rather surprised.

"Well, the autopsy report won't be faked, do you want to see the body?"

Zhong Yong asked again, I am stunned, as far as I know, after the autopsy report comes out, the body will be returned to the family of the person concerned.

"You have all taken the corpses down?"

I asked in surprise.

"Well, let's go, I'll show you the corpse. ”

In the morgue, a black bag lay flat in front of me, and the forensic doctor was a short old man, very thin, with a serious face. Standing next to the body bag, he looked at me and Zhong Yong and didn't speak. I threw away my gloves and mask, I was also a murderer, and I thought I was nothing to see a corpse. But I didn't expect that when this incomplete corpse appeared in front of me, his complexion changed greatly, and the special smell of the corpse was not rotten or foul smell, but it was the disgusting smell that came to my face through the mask. I covered my mouth and took two steps back, Zhong Yong glanced at me, sneered, put the lit cigarette in front of me, and turned it around in front of my nose, but after smelling the pungent smell of smoke, my nausea was eliminated.

"See a corpse for the first time?"

He asked.

I shook my head, Zhong Yong didn't ask much, walked to the corpse, pointed to the corpse's face and said, "It's obvious that he died of suffocation, which can be seen from the color of his face and the color of his neck and throat." ”

I nodded slightly, endured the discomfort and circled around the corpse, and then said, "It feels like it's a lot stranger than when I was alive." There is one less ...... of God."

"Of course, the soul is gone, and there is no god anywhere. ”

"Hmm...... What is this?"

At this moment, my eyes were on something mixed in the corpse's hair, and I stepped forward, frowning, and stretched out my hand to take out a very small black thing from the corpse's hair, and put it in front of my eyes to look at it, it felt like a leaf, black, only the size of a small half a fingernail, very inconspicuous. “
