When I got to the second floor, the little beauty raised her hand to show me the direction, looking at her harmless little face, I couldn't help but ask: "Beauty, dare to ask, ...... Is it human? ”

"Huh?" The little beauty held the tray to her chest and looked surprised with a duck, "Can you tell I'm a ghost?" ”

Nima! It's better not to ask!

I shuddered, felt bored, and walked to the No. 1 private room she had instructed.

Pulling the curtain in, Lord Bai was already waiting here, holding a copy of "General History of the World" and reading, she was still in the same outfit, but the pair of black-framed glasses was taken off, lying on the table, I sat tremblingly opposite Lord Bai, and bowed slightly to her.

Lord Bai put down the book and looked at me levelly, well, without those glasses, I saw it very clearly, it was the best beauty who wore a top hat last night.

"It's nothing, it's just to get acquainted," Lord Bai stretched out his slender right hand across the table, "This pavilion's surname is Xie, and his name is peaceful." ”

Xie Xin'an, a very quaint name.

"This place of peace is my hometown." I don't know where I got the courage to try to parse her name, it should be this origin, Su Dongpo's word.

As I expected, her little hands were cold, as if they had just been fished out of the ice water, but they felt very smooth, not like a hand that carried a thick iron chain all year round.

Hearing my analysis, Lord Bai was obviously stunned, and then smiled slightly: "I didn't expect you to understand poetry and like Mr. Dongpo?" ”

"I don't understand, I just know a little about the surface." I humbly let go of her little hand, which had begun to retract, and sat back in its place.

"It's both civil and military, not bad," Lord Bai nodded, "Your name is Wu Fu, right?" ”

"Yes, white...... My lord. "I don't know what to call her anymore, is it Lord Bai or Lord Xie?

She seemed to see my doubts, leaned back into the sofa very casually, and said lazily: "In the future, you can call me at ease, and the people in our prefecture will call me 'adult'." ”

By their first name? How dare I! So I just smiled and didn't say anything, facing the leader (her official son may be older than our curator's official son), I still understand this bit of etiquette.

"Last night's incident, I heard, the case was solved?" White...... Xie Xin'an leaned further into the sofa and found a more comfortable position, and two clicks came from under the table, it seemed that she had taken off her high heels, this was the official meeting between the "leader" and his subordinates, was it so casual?

"Yes, the case has been solved." I told her about last night's case, along with the ins and outs of what happened at my house this morning, until the suspect turned himself in, because she had been at the funeral home last night, and even if the four deceased were asked, they might not be able to explain clearly.

During this period, Xie Xin'an had been listening carefully, nodding from time to time, no different from a human being, so much so that later, I almost forgot her true identity, as natural as chatting with Fang Yuan.

Until a sudden rolling thunder outside, which cleaved me back to reality, I looked out the window, and at some point, the sky was overcast like night, and after the thunder, the air began to shoot rain arrows, and soon the whole ground was soaked.

When I finished speaking, Xie Xin'an got up from the sofa, and did not comment, just held his cheeks and looked at the torrential rain outside the window.

I suddenly understood why Yincheng Street is called "Ghost Street", and it seems that it is not just because there are many funeral goods stores here.

"The ghosts of your entire Handong Province have entered the Netherworld from here," Xie Xin'an suddenly said and turned to me, "Do you know how many people die in Handong Province every day?" ”

I have made a rough estimate based on the proportion of the city's population.

"More than 1,000 people?"

Xie Xin'an nodded: "Almost." ”

After saying that, she continued to look out the window, not knowing whether she was looking at the rain or the ghosts.

Hundred ghosts rain travel, during the mixing of a living person, I even think this scene is quite warm, am I a little floating?

"By the way, where do you live?" Xie Xin'an said coldly again.

I answered the address of my home, Xie Xin'an actually took out a brand-new Huawei P40 mobile phone from his pocket, opened Baidu Maps and searched, I didn't expect her to be a ghost, and the phone was still very slippery.

"Huh?" After finding the address of my house, Xie Xin'an's brows tightened, "No, this is not the eye of the Five Elements Array, even if you bury your little roommate alive, it won't work." ”

The Five Elements Formation she said may be the cross diagram that Fang Yuan and I drew last night, and my house is quite far from the center of the cross.

"Indeed, the last location should be in the five-star square, but it was found by the patrol room in advance, and the murderer couldn't commit the crime, so he had to settle for the next best." I explained.

Xie Xin'an shook his head: "The Five Elements Formation is rigorous, and there is no such thing as 'retreating to the second', have you been deceived?" ”

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"The person who turned himself in may not be the real murderer, he just wanted you to withdraw the patrol in the center of the Five Elements Array, so that it would be convenient for the real murderer to commit crimes there."

Fog grass! It's a ghost! She has a point! It's not impossible!
