Chapter 13: Yi Ming's Cafe
Yi Ming Cafe, this is the café Xu Yuanhui said.
I pushed the door open and walked in.
The café is cozy, and the CD player plays soothing piano music, making it a very atmospheric place.
The waiter looked at me a little weirdly.
I've been here for a week now, and I just order a cup or two of coffee each time and sit back for the day.
If it weren't for the fact that the business of this café was not very good, I would probably have to rush people when I met a customer like me.
I lowered my head, ordered the cheapest cup of coffee, and quickly found a corner seat to sit down.
I put my laptop on the table, found an outlet, plugged it in, and turned it on.
This laptop is very old, I bought it when I was in college seven years ago, and when I turned it on, the fan made a "hum" and "hum" sound, and the aperture on the screen turned slowly, and the boot speed was very slow.
I was bored and in a daze, thinking about what happened not so long ago.
Xu Yuanhui went in, and he is still waiting for the court to sentence him, but Wei Da said that he will not be able to get out in his life.
Qiu Dan is gone, Xu Yuanhui's old lover died three days ago. Fortunately, when he died, it was daytime, and the yang energy was heavy, and the body was immediately burned in the crematorium by Wei Dayu; Ghosts, the rituals I have done have gone beyond the limit.
The old bastard Yang [Hai] Chang and his brother-in-law, the curator, also went in. It is said that his brother-in-law, the curator, had just come out of CCTV after finishing the show, and when he was in high spirits, he was confused and was put in a police car by the capital police who had been waiting for a long time.
He Jin's girlfriend, I went to see it, and I was not possessed by those things, I guess I was really scared by the nameless corpse.
Two major cases were solved at once, and Wei Da's belly changed from the captain of the criminal investigation team of the sub-bureau to the head of the criminal investigation detachment of the city bureau.
Now in H City, although he still has a lot of bigwigs on his head, he is still a character. Whoever knows, whoever you are, you have to give him a few points, no, a lot of face.
Xiao Liang, a young policeman, was also arrested by him to the city bureau.
And I, resigned.
After three years in the Kunlun Mountains, I am used to being alone, and I feel that I am a little uncomfortable with today's social life.
There are so many people in the company, I am really scared when I first arrive in Baojing, and in order to leave a good impression on everyone, I feel that I am wearing a mask all the time. It's tiring and annoying.
Fortunately, Wei Da Belly helped me apply for a consultation fee of 20,000 yuan from above, which gave me the courage to resign.
"Your coffee." The waiter brought the coffee.
I said thank you.
At this time, the computer boot is finally completed. I habitually opened Word and started writing articles.
Although Wei Da Belly gave me a consultation fee of 20,000 yuan, I couldn't sit back and eat.
Originally, I planned to learn from Shen Shu Li to open a so-called folklore consulting company, but after looking around, the housing prices in H City are really high, and the 20,000 yuan in my hand is not enough for half a year's rent for the store or office.
In the end, I decided to go with a cheaper option. I applied for a Weibo account on the Internet, named Tongbai Palace Master, specializing in the work of exorcizing ghosts and dispelling evil spirits. In order to increase my popularity and reflect my professional quality, I often post some tips and tricks for exorcism and evil spirits.
That's what I'm writing about now.
It's a pity, because my writing is average, maybe because the opening time is too short, so far, although I have posted more than a dozen long articles, but let alone taking the job, even the comment area is still bare, and there is not a single grass.
I finished writing the article, looked up, and I don't know when, a man sat in the corner diagonally opposite me.
This man was about my age, with an angular face and a calm look in his eyes.
There was also a woman sitting across from him, and because her back was to me, I couldn't see her clearly, but judging by her figure and clothes, she should not be very old.
I recognized this man at a glance, he was the owner of this café - Gu Mingyi.
After Xu Yuanhui explained this café, Wei Da Belly checked this Gu Mingyi.
Gu Mingyi, twenty-six years old, the same year as me, lived in the capital since childhood, suddenly disappeared seven years ago, I don't know where he went, appeared in H City two years ago, and at the same time began to write a supernatural novel on the Internet.
Soon, Gu Mingyi became popular because of this novel, and now he has become a famous Yi Ming god on the Internet. Before the novel was finished, it was decided to adapt the web series, and now it is said that filming is already underway.
I have read his novels, and the description of Xuanmen in them is very real, and I think he is very likely to be a person in Xuanmen.
As soon as the young policeman heard that he was from the Xuanmen, he wanted to arrest him at that time, but Wei Da showed his photo to Xu Yuanhui, and Xu Yuanhui said that he was not the one who gave him the talisman.
According to Xu Yuanhui, the person who gave him the talisman, although he was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face, was not without any features, and it could be seen from his neck and hands that this person had a large number of weird tattoos on his body. And I don't know if Gu Mingyi has a tattoo on his body, but at least he doesn't have a tattoo on his neck and hands, it shouldn't be him.
Although this Gu Mingyi is not a murderer, I think that he is a Xuanmen person, and the corpse talisman appeared in his shop again, he must know something more or less.
Wei Da Belly originally wanted the police to come forward to talk to Gu Mingyi, but in the end I refused.
The Xuanmen people have never liked to deal with the police. The police came forward to ask him, even if he was not as arrogant and confrontational as Shensuan Li, he would not tell the truth.
However, I use the identity of Xuanmen, maybe it can be of some use. Personally, and Tongbai Palace, there is still some weight in Xuanmen, not much worse than Wei Da Belly is now in H City.
However, Gu Mingyi is a bit of a dragon, I have been here for a week, and this is the first time I have seen him.
I got up and walked over to him, and I heard him whispering something to the woman across from him.
The woman said, "Mr. Gu is from the Xuanmen, right?" ”
Gu Mingyi glanced at the woman in surprise and nodded.
"Then does Mr. Gu know someone named Chen Danqiu? A disciple of Tongbai Palace. The woman asked.
I was stunned and stayed there.
Who is this woman? How will you know me?
Taking a closer look at the woman's back, I immediately felt familiar.
My heart started beating faster.
I want to go!
It's a pity it's too late.
Gu Mingyi saw me and stood up immediately.
Gu Mingyi's abnormality quickly attracted the woman's attention.
She turned her head.
Although she wore a pair of big sunglasses on her face, covering half of her face, I still recognized her at a glance - the heroine of the online drama adapted from Gu Mingyi's novel, an actress who is quite popular now, and her acting reputation is not counted.
When I was looking for Gu Mingyi-related information on the Internet, what I found the most was that she joined Gu Mingyi's online drama.
She stared at me steadily.
I was in a trance, I felt like I had gone back four or five years ago.
My girlfriend is a southerner like me, but when she arrived in the capital, she immediately fell in love with the authentic northern snack of pancakes.
Every time we were buying pancakes and fruits on the side of the road, she would always tell me that it was my eighteen lifetimes of blessing to find a big star girlfriend like her.
I smiled and asked her if she was wearing sunglasses.
She was stunned and said no.
I then asked her if she was wearing a mask.
She said no.
Finally, I asked if anyone had asked her to sign it.
She said!

The collection is already twenty years old, thank you.
