A week later.

In the afternoon when the sun is shining, there are not many pedestrians on a street not far from the Xicheng Police Station Building, there is a hot pot restaurant at the corner of the street, the scale of the hot pot restaurant is not small, the façade is also magnificent, and the big words on the door say "hungry ghost hot pot".

The hot pot restaurant is divided into two parts, the main door is the lobby, where dozens of tables with induction cookers are placed, and the innermost aisle is connected to an aisle, and there are private rooms on both sides of the aisle.

Because it is not a meal, the hot pot restaurant is very deserted, and some of the waiters in the restaurant are playing poker in the lobby, and some simply fall asleep on their chairs.

Waitress Li Mei and Sun Xixi stood idly by the front desk and chatted with melon seeds.

"Look, how's it going?" Li Mei lifted her bangs to reveal a thumb-sized rose tattoo at the corner of her eye under her bangs.

Sun Xixi spit out the melon seed shell in his mouth, approached Li Mei and looked at the pink rose carefully, and then said complimentingly: "It's good-looking, it's really good, but I don't quite accept tattoos on my face." As he spoke, he threw another melon seed into his mouth.

Li Mei put down her bangs and said, "Real soil, this is called a trend, understand?"

Sun Xixi didn't want to argue: "It's all here, why hasn't the boss come yet?"

"The boss has come early, and he seems to be in a good mood today!" Li Mei said as she swallowed melon seeds.

"Ah, I didn't see it, why is he so interested?" said Sun Xixi hurriedly put down the melon seeds in his hand, and then put the melon seed skins on the front desk into the trash.

Li Mei said indifferently: "Ouch, what are you doing? He can't take care of us now, and he has been cooking hot pot in the private room of the back room with a few friends since the morning, and he is still eating it for six or seven hours." ”

Sun Xixi was a little surprised: "Ah? It turned out that the boss was inside, and the movement was so loud, what kind of guest could eat so much." ”

"Yes, I've sent food to it several times, and the mutton is gone, so I'll call someone to send it again, otherwise there won't be enough guests at noon." ”

Sun Xixi frowned and said, "It's so strange, doesn't the boss not eat mutton?"

Li Mei leaned in and whispered: "What's even more strange is that every time I deliver food to the private room, he only asks me to leave the food cart full of meat and vegetables outside the door, and doesn't let me enter the house. ”

Sun Xixi packed up all the melon seeds and said: "Alas, I guess I'm talking to someone about big business, the boss's thoughts, don't guess if we are waiters." ”

"Li~~~Li~~~~!" As soon as Sun Xixi's words fell, he heard a man's voice calling from the back room: "Add vegetables !!"

Li Mei said to Sun Xixi with a helpless face: "My God, it's here again, you are ready to let people bring food over, otherwise I am afraid that the night will not be enough." ”

The man inside the "!! with vegetables" roared again.

Li Mei pulled her throat and shouted back in a vengeful tone: "It's coming! right away."

Li Mei looked disgusted, shrugged at Sun Xixi and left helplessly.

Not long after, Li Mei pushed the three-story dining car into the aisle, which was full of all kinds of beef and mutton, meatballs, and vegetables.

Li Mei came to the door of the innermost private room, which was the innermost location of the hot pot restaurant, and the lights were dim.

Li Mei knocked on the door and said inside: "Boss, the door of the vegetable room is here!"

Li Mei waited for a while, but there was no response inside, she turned to leave, hesitated, and turned back, at this time she had a great curiosity about these people in the house, thinking to herself, "How can you eat so much, who are they?"

Li Mei tiptoed to the door, put her ear to the door and listened carefully, the people in the room did not speak, only the clashing of dishes and the sound of eating.

Li Mei didn't hear anything, her face was disappointed, she was just about to leave, when she turned around, she suddenly knocked down a man, Li Mei jumped, looked up and saw that it was the boss, and hurriedly said: "Boss, why are you ......?"

Only then did Li Mei notice that the boss who was originally well-dressed was sweating profusely, his face was greasy, his mouth was stuffed with things, the boss who held his face up, his face was distorted, and he kept chewing.

Li Mei looked at the boss blankly, but the boss ignored her, but pushed the dining cart to open the door of the private room, hurriedly entered the house, and closed the door.

Li Mei stood in front of the door and didn't relax for a long time.

The Xicheng Police Station in the afternoon was not as busy as it was in the morning.

In the office, the video taken by Zhu Neng and Painted Skin Xiaoqing when they were together is playing on the monitor, in the video, a shriveled old lady is lying on the back of the sofa, revealing her yellow skin, wrapped in a bath towel, she opens her hands, her face is full of intoxication, and she says coquettishly in a hoarse voice: "Brother Zhu, come on, I can't wait, hurry!"

Yuan Yue, Yuan Fang and Chu Yi stood in front of the monitor, and when they saw this, everyone was disgusted.

Zhu Neng, who was sitting on the sofa behind, lowered his head, his face was flushed, he stood up and stepped forward, turned off the video and said loudly: "If you do this again, I can only jump up to the top of the building!" After speaking, he sat back on the sofa and held his head without speaking.

Yuan Fang stretched out his thumb to Zhu Neng: "Old Zhu, you cow, admire!"

Chu Yi was wearing a Taoist robe, with a hairpin in a bun, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Lao Zhu, how did you feel at that time? Enjoy it very much, come on, Brother Zhu, come on, hahahaha"

Zhu Neng suddenly felt sick to his stomach, picked up the trash can and began to vomit, Yuan Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help him pat his back.

After vomiting for a while, Zhu Neng put down the trash can, wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "Okay, you all stand and talk without backache, what I saw at the time was not like this, no, I want to vomit again......" said and picked up the trash can again.

"Okay, okay, everyone don't laugh at him, Brother Zhu is really not easy, thanks to him this time, I will make a big credit!" said Yuan Yue with Zhu Neng's back.

Zhu Neng heard Yuanyue's words, he was much more comfortable, he put down the trash can, and began to say a little proudly: "My old Zhu, I don't dare to say anything else, I am still very good at style, if you young people, meet someone like Xiaoqing, you will be in line a long time ago!"

Chu Yi was a little curious: "What kind of person is Xiaoqing?" ”

Zhu Neng saw that Chu Yi was serious, so he sat up straight, ready to talk to everyone: "Xiaoqing should have lived in the early years of the Republic of China, it was a singing drama, and its original name was... Su Qingfang, and a rich lady fell in love, but people disagreed, the two decided to elope, it didn't work out, the woman was soaked in the pig cage, Su Qingfang was burned alive, and then hated to become a painted skin, after revenge, the resentment and love in his heart made him look for people similar to his lover for decades, peel off their skin, and live as a lover, think about it, it's sad enough. ”

Hearing this, Chu Yi said a fact: "There are actually many aliens like it who have mixed up in the world. ”

Yuan Yue then stood up and said solemnly to everyone: "We are very satisfied with the performance in the painting case, in view of the increasing number of supernatural cases in the current closed capital, the police department held a high-level meeting, and finally officially approved Chu Yi's proposal to become a temporary detective, and the director proposed the establishment of a special investigation team, specifically responsible for similar supernatural cases, of course, this plan still needs to be verified and approved, the members of the task force are currently a few present, let's all work together!"

After speaking, Yuan Yue stretched out his right hand, everyone was full of interest, Zhu Neng, Yuan Fang also stretched out their hands and palmed together with Yuan Yue, leaving Chu Yi standing aside and hesitating, everyone turned their heads to look at Chu Yi.

Chu Yi looked up to the sky and sighed: "Master, the world is in trouble, and the apprentice has to stand up to save the ......."

Zhu Neng stepped forward and pulled Chu Yi over: "Oh, you can come, Shao Ji is crooked!" said and pressed Chu Yi's hand together with everyone's.

Yuan Yue looked at Chu Yi and said, "Chu Yi, I need you, I mean, everyone needs you, with you, everyone can see hope, don't hesitate." ”

At this time, Chu Yi showed a strange expression, his face was mixed with excitement and helplessness, what they didn't know was that the excited part belonged to Ruan Tiancheng, and the helpless part belonged to Chu Yi, and the reason why Chu Yi was helpless was completely because of his lack of confidence due to the loss of the demon soul.

Everyone waited for Chu Yi to express his position, and Chu Yi finally nodded and put both hands on everyone's palms: "Then let's work together!"

Yuan Yue was very happy, she said to everyone: "In order to celebrate, I love everyone to have shabu shabu in the evening!"

Zhu Neng completely walked out of the shadow of the painted skin, and said happily: "Okay, the principle of proximity, let's go to the hungry ghost hot pot next to it!"

Yuan Fang nodded: "Well, hungry ghost hot pot!"

Chu Yi frowned: "What kind of hot pot restaurant, how can you take such a name." ”

Zhu Neng said with a smile: "Are you an occupational diseaser, it's just a name, the key is that the taste is quite good." ”

At this time, the knock on the door was remembered, and a policewoman pushed open the door and walked into the office with a pile of papers.

"Officer Yuan, this is the time you want the papers. The policewoman said to Yuanyue.

"Okay, put it on the table, thank you. Yuan Yue responded.

The policewoman put down the file and was just about to leave, when she thought of something and turned back to Yuan Yue and said: "By the way, Officer Yuan, the child was still downstairs in the morning, and he had been staying for almost a day, and asked him what he was going to do, and he didn't say anything, and asked him where his parents were and what they were called, and he would only shake his head, I guess he was an orphan......

Yuan Yue was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, okay, I'll take a look later." ”
