At the turn of the morning, the ringing of the alarm clock woke up the sleeping Ding Xiaolan, she lazily got dressed, prepared to go to the toilet to put on makeup, and when she came to the living room, she saw Qi Lu sitting at the table smoking a cigarette

Through her sleepy eyes, Ding Xiaolan saw that the fresh and fluffy Korean-style broken hair on Qi Lu's head had been cut into inches, and she didn't feel a little strange, so she asked him: "How to cut such a hairstyle, it's really old-fashioned and ugly."

"Yes, I also think it's ugly," Qi Lu grinned, put the gold wire glasses on the bridge of his nose in front of the table, and then said to her, "What do you think I do like this?"

"Pretend to be Sven, I think you are a hopeless little civil servant who stays in the office all day and prints documents to the leader"

"Haha," Qi Lu smiled proudly, "That's what I want."

"What kind of ghost do you want to do" Ding Xiaolan realized that Qi Lu would never go to get a haircut for no reason

"In the afternoon, while you were sleeping, I went out to get this haircut and went to Renai Hospital."

"Renai Hospital, isn't that the hospital where Su Ling lives?"

Qi Lu smiled and said: "When I arrived at the floor of Ms. Su's ward, I took out my mobile phone and took a few photos at the front desk where the nurse was on duty, and then looked around, and finally asked the nurse which ward the 213 bed was."

"213, this is Su Ling's hospital bed," Ding Xiaolan couldn't guess Qi Lu's intentions, she said a little worriedly: "Just by your sneaky appearance in the hospital, I'm not afraid that others will arrest you as a thief."

"Fortunately, those lovely nurses don't have such thoughts as you, otherwise I would be miserable," Qi Lu saw Ding Xiaolan waving her hand in front of her nose, knowing that she hated the smell of smoke in the room, so she silently put out the cigarette in her hand in the ashtray, got up and opened the window, and continued: "But my actions did arouse the vigilance of the nurses, and even the head nurse came to ask me."

"Don't tell me you just let you out of the police station"

"Do you think I'm so handsome, I look like a bad person," Qi Lu deliberately didn't say anything, he poured a glass of water and drank a few sips before he said slowly: "Oh, nurse, I'm just looking at it casually, is your dean here?"

Ding Xiaolan was amused by Qi Lu's sudden official tone, and she just finished laughing, but found that the doubts in her heart were also rising

Qi Lu seemed to have seen her doubts, he no longer turned around the corner, but went straight to the topic, "Later, they regarded me as a staff member sent by the city discipline inspection committee to investigate and secretly visit, and even the dean personally pulled me to the office to chat attentively."

"Do you think they're all three-year-olds, just your pretentious actions can make them believe the truth?"

"I didn't lie to them, I always said that I was a common man," Qi Lu glanced at Ding Xiaolan meaningfully and continued to drink water

Ding Xiaolan reacted at this time, Qi Lu's trick was called to arrest him, the more he denied it, the more people in the hospital thought that he was a person sent by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, yesterday Su Ling died inexplicably, and during this sensitive period, the hospital leaders were afraid that this matter would damage the reputation of the hospital, Qi Lu was shocked, and the dean naturally held an attitude of rather believing it than not

"You suspect that there is something wrong with Su Ling's death," Ding Xiaolan's brain finally opened up

"Yes," Qi Lu nodded and said: "Although we have only contacted Su Ling twice, except for giving me the feeling that she is a little nervous, I really can't think of the reason why she wants to commit suicide, and I have also asked people in the same ward with Su Ling, and they all said that she was in a stable mood that day, and there was nothing abnormal."

Yes, Su Ling's family is harmonious, the husband and wife are in love, and nothing unpleasant happened, why did she commit suicide, Ding Xiaolan had to admire Qi Lu's meticulous thoughts

"Taking advantage of the fact that the dean regarded me as someone from the Commission for Discipline Inspection, I watched the video footage of that night"

Ding Xiaolan asked urgently: "Then did you find anything suspicious?"

"Judging from the video alone, Su Ling is indeed at the suicide scene where no one is around, and no outsiders appear, and I don't notice any supernatural phenomena."

"That means that Ms. Su did commit suicide."

"Maybe, but I found that the stairs from the fifth to the sixth floor are a blind spot for the camera."

"A flight of stairs goes up in less than half a minute, what can happen" Ding Xiaolan cross-examined him: "Do you even have to investigate this?"

"Yes, in this regard, I have to learn from Liu Chenfei's meticulous spirit, and I can't miss any clues."

"Then Detective Qi, what clues have you found again" Ding Xiaolan's poor mouth came again, she didn't believe that that short time would make a major turn in the case

Qi Lu shook his head and said: "There is a small door at the corner of the stairs, I secretly checked it, it is the place where the cleaner rests, but when I went, because it was too late, the cleaner had already left work, so I could only take time to ask him tomorrow."

"Okay," Ding Xiaolan saw that Qi Lu was so persistent, and it was not good to pour cold water on him, "But tomorrow, you can go by yourself, I didn't have a good rest today, I have to sleep lazily during the day."

"No questions," Qi Lu agreed very happily, he looked at the time and said, "Alas, it's all a little bit, we should go to see Pei Liping."

Qi Lu turned around and walked into the kitchen, carefully took out the jar containing Gu, he first recited a spell, then opened the seal, and suddenly caught the money Gu that looked like a toad in his hand

At this moment, the toad's body suddenly "poofed" and ignited a golden flame, and the toad disappeared immediately, and the flame in Qi Lu's hand immediately became larger, and then divided into several piles, rising from his palm

"Ha, do you want to run away from me," Qi Lu sneered, and then pinched the trick and recited the spell

With the power of Qi Lu's spell, the flames refocused together, turning into a golden bat, flying around, and its wings "snapping".

Ding Xiaolan looked at everything that happened in front of her in amazement, she had never seen such a strange transformation, but when she wanted to see it more clearly, the bat turned into a krait snake again, crawling on the wall, and disappeared in front of the eyes of the two of them in a moment

"Ran away," Ding Xiaolan asked in surprise

"No matter how great Sun Monkey's skills are, he can't escape the Five Finger Mountain," Qi Lu threw a spirit rune in his hand in a certain direction in the air, only to hear a "pop" sound, and something seemed to fall on the roof

Ding Xiaolan looked down and found that the toad had reappeared on the ground, and it was jumping on the ground with its limbs outstretched, looking for a chance to escape

"Catch it quickly, or it will run away again," Ding Xiaolan had just finished speaking, and the toad had already been gently lifted up by Qi Lu, and Qi Lu followed it with a talisman to stick its big mouth

"This time, it can't transform and escape," Qi Lu threw it on the table, and the toad lay there on all fours, like a dead frog

Qi Lu took out a cloth bag from the travel bag, which looked like an ordinary bag on the surface, but when Ding Xiaolan watched Qi Lu put the toad into the bag, he found that there was a cinnabar outline Tai Chi pattern on the inner wall of the bag

Qi Lu tied the mouth of the bag tightly with a red rope, and pasted a spirit talisman on it, and then carried the bag and said to Ding Xiaolan: "Okay, let's go find Pei Liping."

After going downstairs, less than a few dozen meters away, you will arrive at the place where Pei Liping set up the mourning hall

There was a light rain in the sky, and the rain was soft, but it was already quite cold

There was a mahjong table in the mourning hall, and several relatives were playing mahjong, but they didn't see Pei Liping keeping vigil

"Hey, did he go back to sleep," Ding Xiaolan was muttering when she saw Pei Liping coming down from upstairs with a garbage bag in his hand

Seeing Qi Lu and the two, Pei Liping hurriedly came over to greet them

"Why hasn't Mr. Qi rested this night?"

"You and I are fated to coincide with you and this sad thing, I want to do my best to accompany you to keep vigil, I hope Mr. Pei will not dislike it"

"How can this be troublesome, Mr. Qi, if it weren't for the death of my beloved wife, I would have to do my best to accompany the two of you to have a good time in the scenic spots of this city."

After the two exchanged a few polite words, Qi Lu lifted the bag in his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Pei's house lost something, I just picked it up, so I came to return it."

As soon as Pei Liping saw the bag, his face changed abruptly, his lips squirmed a few times, and said, "Mr. Qi, wait a while, I'll take out the garbage first."

Looking at Pei Liping's back, Ding Xiaolan whispered: "Did he guess that the bag contained money Gu?"

"Of course, he is also a person who knows magic, so he can't even see this"

"Bang dang" The sound of Pei Liping throwing the garbage bag into the trash can sounded very harsh in the silent night, he turned around and hurriedly walked back, signaling the two to talk in a secluded place

Came to the corridor of the building outside the mourning hall, Qi Lu handed the bag to Pei Liping, Pei Liping quickly opened the bag, and saw the toad lying inside, very well-behaved, so he put his mind at ease and thanked Qi Lu and the two of them

When Qi Lu was about to reply, he saw a "tick" in front of Pei Liping's forehead, and something fell

It was a drop of bright red blood with an abominable smell

"Ahh

Pei Liping was startled by this sudden intrusion, he fell to the ground on his back, the toad's body became more and more flattened, covering his entire face, Pei Liping's body writhed in pain, he tried to tear the toad and wanted to take it off, but he couldn't tear it off

"Mr. Pei" Ding Xiaolan was surprised and rushed forward to help Pei Liping catch the toad, wanting to help him pull the toad off his face, but it was useless

Qi Lu's face also became ugly, this was not the result he wanted to see, so he hurriedly pinched the trick with both hands, wanting to help Pei Liping

"Mr. Qi, please don't chant the incantation," Pei Liping gasped, and after saying this, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to chant the incantation in a low voice

Qi Lu understood that Pei Liping wanted to solve this matter by himself, as an outsider, he reluctantly used mana to eliminate the money Gu, but it might harm the breeder himself, so Qi Lu took Ding Xiaolan's hand and stood quietly by the side, watching Pei Liping calm the trouble by himself

The toad's body gradually became larger, covering Pei Liping's eyes and nose, but the expansion of his body stopped at his mouth, and Pei Liping's breathing became more and more difficult, but he still didn't dare to stop chanting incantations

"Wow"

Suddenly, the toad's body twitched, and it turned into a krait again, sliding down Pei Liping's face and wrapping around his neck

"Qi Lu, save Mr. Pei," Ding Xiaolan's voice was similar to pleading, and she saw Pei Liping's face flushed

"Don't move, or we'll just do us the opposite," Qi Lu said that, but a few spirit runes had already appeared in his hand

Pei Liping stopped chanting, he took out a knife from his trouser pocket and cut a big hole on his right wrist, blood suddenly flowed out, he raised his hand above his head, so that the blood could drip into the mouth of the Gu snake

"Ahh

"Alas, it's okay," Pei Liping sat on the ground and panted
