Chapter 25: Iron Beads
Hu Xiong lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said slowly: "Detective Li, we have signed a power of attorney and there is an agreement, not to mention, this matter is not as dangerous as you imagined, and our 36th Bureau will also protect you in secret." ”
Secretly protect yourself?
Li Changqing was silent for a moment, the matter had come to this, he had already started to contact the people of the shadow cult with the identity of Hu Qideng, and it was naturally unrealistic to want to stop doing it halfway.
"I need something that can defend myself in the hands of these people in the Shadow Cult." Li Changqing carefully put the documents into his clothes and put them away.
Smoking a cigarette, Hu Xiong narrowed his eyes and shook the ash of his cigarette outside the car: "Within three days, I will send it to you." ”
Seeing that he agreed, Li Changqing didn't stay in the car for a long time, opened the car door, and walked back in the direction of the detective agency.
Looking at Li Changqing's back, Hu Xiong smiled and set fire to the vehicle, popped the cigarette butt out of the car, and drove away.
In the next few days, Li Changqing, Tang Xiaoyu and Guan Wenyan did not go out.
Guan Wenyan's injuries were scarred the next day, although they looked bloody, but this was only a skin injury, and after taking the medicine, he soon began to recover.
After the past two days of contact, Li Changqing also made sure that Guan Wenyan did not suspect his identity, but he was a lot more relaxed, and in the past two days, he has been practicing talismans in the bedroom every day.
But Tang Xiaoyu, this girl, Guan Wenyan, seems to be striving to perform, and the house has to be cleaned three times a day.
A cultist was dangling in the living room, how could Tang Xiaoyu have the heart to watch TV in the living room, so he could only stay in the bedroom boringly, staring at Li Changqing painting those weird things.
Three days later in the evening.
The table in the bedroom is slightly messy, and there are many traces of cinnabar spilled on the table around the inkstone, and the yellow paper is piled up in three stacks.
There are more than 100 drawn spells, and they are stacked in a mess on the right-hand side.
However, on the ground, there are more than 300 waste talismans.
These are the fruits of Li Changqing's labor in the past three days, seeing him sit at the desk for two days, rarely speak, and draw talismans seriously.
Tang Xiaoyu lay on Li Changqing's back curiously: "Li Changqing, these things are the things you used to deal with that shadow last time, right?" The power is a bit small, though. ”
Since the last time he pretended to be a shadow in front of Guan Wenyan, Tang Xiaoyu liked this posture quite a lot.
At the very least, it's much more comfortable than hiding in a stinking fedora.
"Go, go, you know." Li Changqing stretched his waist and pushed away Tang Xiaoyu, who was lying on his back.
His back hurts, but looking at the table full of spells, he has a lot of satisfaction in his heart.
In the past two days, with the accumulation of drawing talismans, the aura in his body has also accumulated more and more.
"If you have time tomorrow, try the general's talisman here."
Li Changqing moved his body, and at this time, there was a knock outside the door, Liang Daoyi was full of smiles, and said politely to Guan Wenyan: "Is Detective Li here?" ”
"Mr. Liang."
When the gold owner came, he stepped forward with a smile on his face and shook hands with Liang Daoyi: "Did Miss Lin Zhenzhen's concert go well?" ”
"It went very well." Liang Daoyi nodded, stretched out his hand and took out 40,000 lang coins from his clothes: "This is the tail gold, Miss Lin Zhenzhen was originally going to visit in person, but I was too tired from yesterday's concert, and I had to fly to the next concert location early this morning to make preparations." ”
"I stayed to do some finishing touches and made a special trip to thank you."
After receiving 40,000 lang coins from his hand, Li Changqing invited: "Come in and sit?" ”
"No, no, I still have a lot of things to do, so I'll leave first."
Counting the money, Tang Xiaoyu also hurriedly ran over, asked for the money, and counted it happily, Guan Wenyan saw this and did not speak.
In the past two days, he naturally found that the shadow of Hu Qideng's lamp seemed to be slightly different from other people from the shadow cult.
He had also secretly analyzed it, and I was afraid that this Hu Qilan had already practiced the Shadow Evil Skill to an extremely high level, and was even about to reach the level of the previous sect leader.
It is said that when the shadow evil skill is practiced to a very high level, the shadow will have an autonomous consciousness, not a puppet.
Watching Tang Xiaoyu count the money happily, Li Changqing sat on the sofa and said to Guan Wenyan: "Wenyan, you have worked hard these days. ”
As he spoke, he thought for a while, took out 10,000 lang coins, and handed it over: "This is your share." ”
One yard to one yard.
The whole thing was basically solved by Guan Wenyan, and now he can't do without him.
Guan Wenyan's face showed a look of panic, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "Protector, if you do this, you will see the outside, and your subordinates can't accept this money." ”
"Really?" Li Changqing frowned, and casually forcibly stuffed the money into his hand: "One yard to one yard, this money should be yours." ”
Tang Xiaoyu did not object next to her, although she likes money, but she also knows that in this matter, she and Li Changqing belong to picking up money for nothing, and it is Guan Wenyan who really contributes.
"Then, I'll take it?"
After Guan Wenyan hesitated for a moment, he could only accept the money.
"Then, Dharma Protector, if it's okay, I'll go cook first."
The fire in the kitchen was still burning, and he turned and walked into the kitchen to get busy.
"Actually, the big brother seems to be pretty good." Tang Xiaoyu whispered to Li Changqing.
Li Changqing completely agrees with this.
Housework, all-inclusive cooking, able to deal with weirdness, the key is, I don't want money yet, where to find such an assistant?
Buzz.
The phone vibrated for a moment, and it was a text message from Hu Xiong.
"I'll go downstairs and buy some fruit and treat Guan Wenyan."
He turned around and went downstairs, followed the guidance of the text message, came to a small supermarket on the street, walked in to the fresh vegetable area, Hu Xiong wore sunglasses, two beards, and casually picked the vegetable leaves in front of him.
"Why are you dressed up like this?"
Li Changqing walked to the side casually, staring at the dishes in front of him and picking them out.
"The people of the Shadow Cult have arrived in Nanlin City, and they will find you at any time, so be careful." Hu Xiong, who had been dressed up, calmly handed a black plastic bag to Li Changqing: "This is a gun, for your self-defense." ”
"Guns?"
Li Changqing's voice was dissatisfied: "Mr. Hu, against those people in the Shadow Cult, you will give me a gun to defend myself?" ”
Hu Xiong casually picked off the yellow vegetable leaves and threw the fresh vegetables into his vegetable basket: "I can deal with weird things, and I can't use it for you, after careful consideration, it is more reliable to give you a gun." ”
"If you don't give it to me, how do you know?" Li Changqing said in a low voice: "Those people from the Shadow Cult are almost here, and if they don't give me anything to protect themselves, don't blame me for escaping." ”
"You." Hu Xiong's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Li Changqing said in a deep voice: "Mr. Hu, I am a detective, not a fool. ”
If they hadn't threatened Tang Xiaoyu at the beginning, Li Changqing would not have accepted this commission anyway.
What so-called thirty-six rounds will secretly protect themselves?
He doesn't believe in this kind of nonsense, having self-protecting capital is the last word.
"This is the item I used to remove the spirit, I will lend it to you first, and then return it to me."
Time is pressing, Hu Xiong doesn't dare to waste too much time, there are other things to explain.
He secretly took out an iron bead and handed it to Li Changqing: "The method of use is to infuse aura, but you guy doesn't have aura at all......"
The iron pillar is about half the size of a fist, and in appearance, it is a very ordinary iron ball, which is extremely smooth, and when you touch it in your hand, it still exudes a trace of coolness.
Li Changqing quietly accepted the iron beads and the gun: "Thank you, Mr. Hu, is there anything else?" ”
"According to our secret investigation in the Thirty-sixth Bureau, the Shadow Cult has two ways to elect its leader."
"The first is their ancient tradition, all the candidates are fighting, and the only one who survives is the new leader."
"The second is that the shadow cult is weak, and after it goes downhill, it becomes popular, and let the shadow of the candidates face off."
"You don't have a shadow at all, I'm afraid you'll be exposed, and when the time comes to decide on the way, it's best to use the first one."
Li Changqing's hand picking vegetables paused, and he couldn't help but look at Hu Xiong: "Do you think I can fight with the other two Dharma Protectors of the Shadow Cult?" ”
Hu Xiong held back for a long time, and only held back one sentence: "Our thirty-sixth bureau will secretly protect you." ”
"I still have something to do, so I won't talk about it yet."
Hu Xiong picked up the basket of vegetables he had picked up, checked out and left.
"Bastard."
Li Changqing scolded secretly, took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, and then checked out and walked out of the supermarket, and then walked to the detective office.
It was already dark.
On the street, there were two slightly hunchbacked people who were secretly following behind Li Changqing.
