A bookstore on the corner opens at 12 a.m. every night, and there is a constant stream of visitors. Everyone who came out of it had a satisfied look on their faces, and some people speculated that the peddling of books was just its protective color, and that what it was really selling might be unsightly. But who knows all this? Instead of gratuitous speculation, it's better to go inside and see for yourself.

Fang Fan asked Zhang Ze to draw a diagram of the Soul Control Array on the floor of the storage room, and then prepared a basin of water and placed it in the center of the array, and lit a circle of candles around the basin.

"Old Fang, it's all ready."

Shi Luoxin was worried about what Fang Fan would do to the black cat, so he kept following them. Fang Fan looked back at Shi Luoxin and said.

"You better not come with me, lest you be frightened."

"Are you really not going to do anything to it?"

Zhang Ze said with a grin.

"Don't worry, even if we have something, the cat will be fine. If you're really not at ease, just wait outside. ”

With that, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze slipped into the storage room with the black cat in their arms. Fang Fan looked at the things arranged by Zhang Ze, nodded, and said.

"There may be a strange phenomenon in a while, don't make a fuss."

"Harm, I've seen all the strange things, it doesn't matter."

Fang Fan sat in front of the Soul Control Array, and then Zhang Ze asked.

"Old Fang, where did you learn this set?"

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Ze smacked his lips and said.

"It always feels like one of those big dancers in the movie."

"Don't talk nonsense. Just now I asked Lin Yu about the black cat's psychic, and he said that the black cat itself has a strong spiritual power, and it is also a messenger of the two worlds of yin and yang. So the soul it can attract is not necessarily the soul of the dead we are looking for, and then he taught me this soul control array, so as not to hurt people with the evil spirits that appear. ”

"This kid even understands this?"

"Lin Yu is now working hard to fight against Nagi Ling, as long as it is related to the soul, he has studied it."

"And what is this basin of water for?"

"Lin Yu said that water is the fastest way to connect yin and yang, and as long as they feel the call of the black cat, they will appear from the water."

Zhang Ze nodded, and when he was about to ask something again, Fang Fan suddenly said.

"Stop talking, it'll be time to talk to you again."

Zhang Ze honestly closed his mouth and stood aside. The black cat that was still hostile to Fang Fan just now curled up in Fang Fan's arms at this time, motionless and very well-behaved, at this time Fang Fan recited a few incantations to the water basin in the center of the soul control array, the black cat suddenly became alert as if it had heard some kind of order, and its glowing green eyes looked straight at the water basin. After a while, Zhang Ze felt that the temperature in the room had dropped suddenly, and judging from the experience of dealing with souls for so long, this situation was generally a sign of the appearance of souls.

Zhang Ze had just drawn the soul control array with white chalk, and as the frequency of the incantation in Fang Fan's mouth became faster and faster, the soul control array outlined by white chalk actually emitted a pale golden light. Not only that, but as the Soul Control Array glowed, the water basin in the middle of it also boiled. Zhang Ze clearly remembered that he had just received cold water.

It didn't take long for Zhang Ze to see something protruding from the basin of water, and it was getting taller and higher, higher and higher. Just when Zhang Ze guessed what it was, the water column turned into a human form.

"Lao Fang, come out."

Fang Fan raised his eyes, then looked at the black cat's reaction, and then continued to recite the spell. The soul that had just been summoned was trapped in the soul control array, and it was quiet at first, but after a while, the soul was rampaging through the array. Zhang Ze saw that Fang Fan had no intention of stopping, and then souls burst out of the basin one after another, and after a while, the soul control array was occupied by all kinds of souls, and Fang Fan also stopped chanting the spell. He looked at the souls, then at the black cat, and found that the black cat still didn't react, so he sighed and said.

"There's still no soul of its owner."

"Old Fang, I don't think this method is reliable at all, so it's better to try my method."

"If you're not afraid that Lohin will kill you, you can try."

With that, Fang Fan walked outside. Zhang Ze shouted from behind.

"Old Fang, what about these souls?"

Before the words fell, all those souls in the soul control array suddenly fell back into the basin of water, and then turned into a basin of water. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze walked out of the storage room and saw that Shi Luoxin was still waiting outside, she asked anxiously.

"Where's the cat?"

Zhang Ze pointed inside and said.

"It's inside. But don't go in now, the yin in it is too heavy, and the cat is a little tired, let it rest. ”

Shi Luoxin nodded, and then Hu Lai came over and said.

"Brother, I heard you talking about cats just now, there are mice in our store?"

The three of them looked at Hu Lai, then looked at each other, and then Fang Fan whispered in Hu Lai's ear.

"Schlohin's favorite cat is in the pantry, watch it, don't let it run."

With that, Fang Fan patted Hu Lai on the shoulder and Zhang Ze left. Hu Lai said excitedly to Shi Luoxin.

"Luo Xin, don't worry. As long as I'm here, the cat inside won't be able to escape. ”

Schrohin looked at him with a frown, shook his head and walked away. Hu Lai didn't understand what it meant, but he knew that as long as he kept the cat in the storeroom, he would also keep his happiness.

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze came to the laboratory, and Han Shuo was still testing those samples. Zhang Ze stretched and asked.

"Han Shuo, is the result out?"

"Don't rush, I'll sue you if there is a result."

"Hey, you kid."

At this time, Fang Fan shouted.

"Zhang Ze, what about Su Kang?"

"When he came back, he went straight to Suzud."

Indeed, after Su Kang came back, he stayed at the Spring Flavor Bar for a while and went to the hotel to check on his father Su Zude's condition, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yang Yue and Su Zude sitting opposite each other. At first, he was worried that Su Zude would embarrass Yang Yue, but he didn't expect the two of them to have a good chat, and they also agreed to have the opportunity to travel as a family. Su Kang finally let go of his suspense, and Su Zude called Su Kang aside and asked.

"I'm sorry to hide from you to meet Yang Yue, at first I thought you were joking with me, until I met Yang Yue and heard her tell her about your past, I didn't know what you went through. It's no wonder Fang Fan told me that if I want to understand you, it's better to start with this girl.

I also know about the Three Sacred Vessels, although I don't believe in it very much, but the world is so big that there are no wonders, and it is no wonder that there are some unknown things. Anyway, I have a question for you now. ”

Hearing this, Su Kang chuckled in his heart, then nodded and said.

"Just ask."

"Are you and Yang Yue sincere?"

Su Kang nodded vigorously and said.

"Absolutely, sincerely."

Suzud put his hand in his pocket and said.

"In that case, then I won't interfere anymore. Actually, Dad is not as old-fashioned as you think, as long as you like it. The days to come are for the two of you, Yang Yue, come here. ”

Yang Yue walked up to the father and son and said.

"Is there something wrong? Uncle. ”

Su Zu pulled Yang Yue's hand, then took Su Kang's hand, held the two hands together, and said.

"Su Kang, I am not a competent father, I hope you will not be like me in the future, always disappointing your son.

Yang Yue, Su Kang will be handed over to you in the future. You know him better than I do, and I'll have to worry about you more in the future. ”

Su Kang and Yang Yue looked at each other, and although Su Zude's words were touching, they sounded strange. Su Kang asked.

"Dad, thank you for your accomplishment. It's just that how do I feel when you say these words..."

Suzud said with a wave of his hand.

"I'm an atheist, and I've never believed in gods and ghosts. But it's ironic to be targeted by the Secret Crossing Society, which specializes in dealing with ghosts and gods. I know they won't give up, and that Nagi Ling, he won't let me go. Even though I'm okay now, I feel like I'm being manipulated sometimes. Maybe one day it won't work, what I'm saying today is also to leave myself with no regrets, I didn't save your mother in the first place, and now I don't want you to do anything to me again. So..."

Hearing this, Su Kang's expression became serious and asked.

"So what?"

"So, today is the last time we will meet, and from now on you live your life, and Smartro Technology will have nothing to do with you. In addition, you can keep this card, which will be my wedding gift for you in a few years, as well as the growth fund for your children in the future. ”

Su Kang said resolutely.

"I don't want it."

Su Zude didn't say anything, and then handed it to Yang Yue. Su Kang said again.

"She doesn't want it either. I know your intentions, but I have my intentions too. I've grown a lot over the years, and I'm no longer the crying kid I was at the beginning. I don't have a mother, I can't live without a father, and I won't agree with what you just said. The past is over, although a little unwilling, but the days to come are still long, even if there is anything, I will face it with you. ”

At this time, the assistant came over and said.

"Young master, Sir is also out of consideration for your safety, so please understand Sir's painstaking efforts."

Su Kang glared at him angrily, but because of Su Zude's face, he didn't directly confront the assistant, and Su Kang continued.

"Whatever you say, I'll do what I want."

Suzud suddenly laughed and said.

"Dad, okay, I'll listen to you this time."

The assistant was about to say something again, but was stopped by Suzud. Said.

"You go and arrange an afternoon meal for me, I'm hungry."

"Yes, sir."

After the assistant left, Su Kang asked.

"Dad, who is this assistant?"

"He was the first person I met abroad, and he was the one who saved me at a critical moment."

"What's his name?"

Su Zude was stunned for a moment and said.

"I haven't taught him his name in years, and I can't remember you asking that. Think about it. ”

"It's okay, I'm just curious to ask, and if I can't think of it, forget it."

Suddenly, Suzud had a splitting headache and was half-kneeling.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Su Zude's face turned white, his lips were slightly purple, and he said.

"My head hurts."

"Yang Yue, call an ambulance."

Su Zude grabbed Su Kang's hand and said.

"No, you can't go to the hospital. The people of the Secret Crossings will find out my whereabouts. ”

Su Kang thought for a moment and said.

"Yang Yue, prepare the car, let's go to the Spring Bar."

At this time, in the Spring Flavor Bar, several people stayed up all night, and the results of the analysis finally had some eyebrows, as long as Han Shuo finished sorting them out.

"Zhang Ze, you go and see how Jianyue is doing, I'll just wait here."

Zhang Ze stretched, nodded and walked out. It just so happened that at this time, Wu Binlong called and said.

"Fang Fan, the autopsy report has come out, you'd better take a look."

"As soon as the results of this analysis come out, I will go to the police station."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Zhang Ze's shouting suddenly came from outside.

"Old side, old side. Come on. ”

Fang Fan ran out quickly.

"What's wrong?"

I saw Zhang Ze standing at the door of Guo Jianyue's room in a daze, Fang Fan asked Zhang Ze and ignored it, Fang Fan was also stunned after walking over and seeing everything in the room. I saw that a silkworm chrysalis made of white silk thread also appeared in Guo Jianyue's room, and Guo Jianyue had disappeared.

In a hurry, Fang Fan pulled out the Luo blade and stabbed the silkworm chrysalis. He didn't dare to do the silkworm chrysalis he saw at the murder scene before, for fear of destroying the scene. But seeing that Guo Jianyue had an accident at this time, Fang Fan couldn't care about it so much, and directly split the silkworm chrysalis with a knife. Guo Jianyue, who was wrapped in mucus in an instant, slipped out of the silkworm chrysalis, Zhang Ze reached out and pulled Guo Jianyue up, and there was a stinging burning sensation on his hand.

"it."

"What's wrong?"

"It doesn't seem like slime, it's some kind of corrosive acid."

Fang Fan hurriedly found a water hose to rinse the acid clean, and then they saw that Guo Jianyue was still wrapped in a diaphragm, and Zhang Ze said fearfully.

"If this membrane is corroded, then Lao Guo will become a handful of bones."

Fang Fan didn't speak, he cut through the diaphragm with a Luo blade, and found that Guo Jianyue was still breathing, so he quickly lifted him up, and Guo Jianyue woke up after a while.

"Jianyue, how do you feel?"

Guo Jianyue looked at Fang Fan with slightly confused eyes and said.

"Am I alive?"

Fang Fan nodded and said.

"Fortunately, Zhang Ze found out in time and saved you."

Guo Jianyue sat up and sighed and said.

"I thought it was over, but I didn't expect to be able to pick up a life."

"What happened last night? Why are you wrapped in that silkworm chrysalis? ”

Guo Jianyue frowned, and said after thinking for a long time.

"I... I forgot. ”

Fang Fan looked disappointed, but he couldn't ask him too much now, and said.

"It's okay, you're fine. You rest for a while. ”

At this time, Han Shuo said with the test results that had been sorted out.

"Fang Fan, the results are out."

"How?"

"The white threads are spider silk, and those clear liquids are corpse oil."

Corpse oil isn't weird, but spider silk is weird. Fang Fan took the results and looked at them several times, and said after a moment of silence.

"I'll go to the police station now, and the autopsy results will come out, and I'll talk about it when I get back. Zhang Ze, you are here to guard Jianyue, if he has any strange behavior, he must stop it immediately. ”

Fang Fan pondered for a moment and said.

"Also, it's a bit weird, be prepared. There are a lot of people in the bar right now, and if something happens, make it a priority to keep them safe. ”

"Don't worry. I know. ”

When Fang Fan went out, he happened to bump into Su Kang and Yang Yue walking in with Su Zude in their arms, Fang Fan saw Su Zude with an extremely ugly face, and asked.

"What's going on?"

After Su Kang told Su Zude about the situation, Fang Fan said.

"It just so happens that you are here, the bar is a bit chaotic now, you and Zhang Ze are in charge of security, just hand over your uncle to Han Shuo, and he will help you get it done."

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go to the police station and I'll be back in a minute."

Fang Fan quickly drove towards the police station, and when he arrived at the police station, he went straight to Wu Binlong's office.

"Wu Bureau, what are the results of the autopsy?"

Wu Binlong said with a pale face.

"This is the first time I've encountered a case like this."

With that, he handed the autopsy report to Fang Fan.

"Sure enough, it's the same as what happened to Jianyue."

"Guo Jianyue has an accident?"

"It's not a big deal, fortunately, I found it in time."

Wu Binlong nodded and continued.

"When the forensic doctor opened the silkworm chrysalis, blood-red acid flowed out of it, and the deceased had already been corroded to the bones."

"In fact, the deceased was wrapped in a diaphragm before being directly corroded by the acid, and the acid will preferentially corrode the diaphragm, and when the diaphragm is broken, it will directly corrode the deceased."

"Since it's a homicide, I'm interested in the killer right now. Do you have any clues over there? ”

Fang Fan handed the sample test results to Wu Binlong and said.

"The thing that looks like a silkworm chrysalis is actually made of spider silk, and the transparent water column hanging on the spider silk is corpse oil."

"Spider Silk? You're not mistaken, are you? ”

"You can't go wrong."

"How much spider silk does it take to wrap an adult in spider silk? It's simply nonsense. ”

"Wu Ju, you're right, but judging from the thickness of those spider silks, this may not be a small spider."

"The world's largest spider is no bigger than the palm of an adult's hand."

Fang Fan smiled faintly and said.

"Now that this has happened, we can't think about it in terms of conventional natural phenomena."

"Do you think it's paranormal?"

"It's not impossible, and I've experienced a lot of supernatural events at the moment. As the saying goes, a long illness becomes a cure, and I always experience such things, and I also began to study and pay attention to supernatural events. In fact, I had a guess when I first saw the body, but I wasn't sure until the results of this test came out. ”

Wu Binlong asked excitedly.

"Who could the murderer be?"

"The bride."

"The bride? All I know is that in the warm regions of the four seasons there is a species of spider called the bride. ”

"Yes, it's this spider, but the one we encountered seems to be much bigger than the average bride spider."

"Just say what you want, don't beat around the bush."

Fang Fan pondered for a moment and said.

"It is recorded in "Drawing a Hundred Ghosts at Night" that it is a monster that transforms into a human nature and seduces men. When a man falls for his temptation, he will remove the man's head and eat it. This kind of monster is the bride. ”

"You mean we ran into a youkai?"

At that time, Guo Jianyue said that he saw a pair of eyes, and there was a woman with a ghostly smile in the eyes, and I guess those eyes should be the bride's. From the analysis of the situation at the scene of the murder at that time, I think that it was not the monster that killed the person, but the evil spirit left behind after the monster's death. ”

"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. Evil spirits kill people, do you think you make a movie? ”

Fang Fan said with a smile.

"It's not surprising that you have such doubts, after all, few people believe in ghost legends these days. But there's no other basis for explaining those spider silks other than that statement, is there? ”

Wu Binlong sighed and said.

"If I believe you, what are you going to do?"

"I want to see Liu Anguo."

Not long after, Liu Anguo was called to Wu Binlong's office, and as soon as he entered the door and saw Fang Fan and Wu Binlong sitting opposite each other, he suddenly felt that the nightmare not long ago had reappeared, and he muttered in his heart if Fang Fan, this kid, was talking bad about himself in front of Wu Binlong again. So he asked cautiously.

"Wu Ju, what are you looking for me?"

Wu Binlong said coldly.

"It's not me looking for you, it's Fang Fan looking for you."

Liu Anguo nodded and promised Wu Binlong, and then asked Fang Fan.

"Team Fang, what are you looking for me?"

"Come, Lao Liu sat down and said slowly."

Liu Anguo sat down on the chair next to Fang Fan, Fang Fan said.

"Do you remember the forensic doctor I asked you to send back at the scene of the murder?"

"Remember, remember."

"Do you know what his name is?"

"I remember it as Chen Bin. A trainee forensic doctor who had just arrived at the police station, he went to the scene for the first time. On the way back, I asked him why his face was so ugly, and he only said that it was because he was a little nervous and scared when he went to the scene for the first time. ”

"Is he coming to work today?"

"I don't know."

Wu Binlong coughed lightly and said seriously.

"Now go check it out right away."

Liu Anguo hurriedly got up and said.

"Yes, yes, I'll go and see."

A layer of cold sweat oozed from Liu Anguo's forehead as he walked out of the office, and his assistant, nicknamed Erliuzi, stood next to him and asked.

"Brother Liu, are you okay?"

"It's okay, go to the forensic department to see if Chen Bin is at work, and then come back and tell me quickly, the sooner the better."

Hearing this, the second-rate man ran away like a gust of wind. Liu Anguo stood at the door of Wu Binlong's office and waited. About ten minutes later, the second-rate man came back and said breathlessly.

"Brother Liu, that Chen Bin didn't go to work. Have you taken a leave of absence? ”

The second rate was stunned for a moment, and then ran away like another gust of wind, and after another ten minutes, the second rate came back and said.

"Nope."

"I see, you're just waiting at the door, and there's not necessarily anything going on in a while."

Liu Anguo returned to Wu Binlong's office and said.

"Chen Bin didn't come to work, and he didn't ask for leave."

Fang Fan said suddenly.

"Lao Liu, you take me to Chen Bin's house immediately now, I'm afraid he is already out."

"Wait, I'll go with you."

Wu Binlong stood up and put on his coat, and Liu Anguo was already trotting to drive. After a while, the car stopped downstairs at Chen Bin's house, Liu Anguo said.

"This is the building, and I sent him here at the time."

"What floor?"

Where did Liu Anguo know what floor it was, so he said hesitantly.

"No... I don't know. ”

Wu Binlong snorted coldly, and Fang Fan hurriedly said.

"It doesn't matter, I know on what floor."
