I went back to bed.

But I can't sleep after tossing and turning.

Upstairs there was a corpse lying in the same person, a man I had just met.

On top of that, Gundam received a letter saying that there would be a murder, and it really happened.

I saw that the fever was about to come to an end, and yet I didn't do anything.

I felt a sense of guilt.

That's right!

What about Gundam? Where did he go?

I remember him saying that he was going to crouch in the upstairs room tonight and wait to see what would happen.

"Pearl!" I screamed.

Pearls came out of the keychain I had placed on the bedside table, and from a puff of green smoke gathered into the form of a person.

"Did you just see a dead man upstairs? See if anyone else is there? ”

Zhu'er thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It's a mess up there, there's only one dead person lying there, and no one else." ”

That's weird.

Didn't Gundam come? He doesn't look like the kind of person who says he doesn't do it.

Or did he come and go?

That shouldn't be. Since he came and didn't see the result, he shouldn't give up halfway.

Well, he shouldn't have come. If he had been there, there would have been no murder.

I sneered, feeling that I had a little too much to think of this person.

I thought he was the kind of person who was very responsible and persistent.

Otherwise, Gundam himself killed someone and walked away, hehe.

"Master," Zhu'er said suddenly, "the man upstairs may not have been killed." ”

I hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Zhu'er's face was a little solemn: "I was in the upstairs room, and I smelled of an old ghost, and it was also a demon that had become a climate, very powerful, and would eat people's souls." ”

I was startled: "Cannibalistic souls? ”

By the way, Zhu'er seems to have said just now that she likes to eat raw souls the most.

"It's the soul that eats people. It is to find a way to force the soul of a person out of the body, for example, to kill that person, and then to eat his soul. At this time, the living soul did not report to the underworld, it is not a ghost, and there is no way to do it in the underworld. Generally, the evil ghosts that can eat the soul are at least three hundred years old, and eating the soul can also increase its power. ”

I involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Zhu'er continued: "Master, you said that you saw the dead man's soul in the room, and it may have wanted to ask you for help, but before it could be, it was eaten. ”

I couldn't help but shudder a little: "You mean, in this room?" ”

Pearls nodded.

It turned out that just now, in the darkness of the thunderstorm, right in front of me, an evil spirit was devouring a living soul alive......

Right in front of me!

It's only two or three meters apart!

"That demon will probably come back against you, master." Pearls said again.

I almost cried: "I didn't mess with it!" ”

Zhu'er said: "It has entered the master's room and smelled the master's smell, and it will never forget the smell." It's just that after eating a living soul, it takes twenty-four hours to fully absorb it. In other words, after two days, it will come back to you. ”

Zhu'er is a thousand-year-old ghost, so she should be an authority in this regard, right? Since she's said so......

I...... I......

I instinctively wanted to grab the ashtray on the bedside table again, only to remember that the ashtray had been thrown on the coffee table in the living room.

"Don't be so alarmed," said Pearl, smiling, "I'll protect my master." ”

I think she looks like she's swallowing?

By the way, this is a thousand-year-old ghost, so it should be able to deal with that evil ghost, right?

I was a little relieved.

"Who are you?"

"Ding-dong......"

At this time, someone rang the doorbell at my house, and the smart lock also prompted that there was someone outside.

The sudden sound startled Zhu'er.

At this time, someone actually visited?

I had a bad premonition.

There was no way, but I still had to get up and open the door.

When I opened the door, there were four police uncles standing outside, all wearing uniforms and hats. It looked like they had come in the rain, and they were mostly wet, and the rim of their hats was still dripping.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" I asked in surprise.

Have they already found out that there is a murder? Probably not, if no one calls the police, at least tomorrow no one will find out.

"You're Chen Xiaodao?" The leader was almost forty years old, with a sculptural face and a scar on his forehead, and his speech was even more blunt. He looked at people as if he were looking at a prisoner.

He's looking at me right now.

"I am." I said, inevitably feeling a little uneasy. I'm just coming out of it, won't you bring me back again?

The visitor glanced at my room with two eyes like cold lightning, and asked stiffly, "Where's Gundam?" ”

"Gundam?" I said strangely, "He's not with me." ”

How did they come to me to find Gundam?

And, is it at this time that such weather?

What happened?

The visitor didn't answer me, but squeezed in from me.

The three police uncles in the back also walked in.

I had to follow.

The leader glanced at the living room, then into the bedroom, then the second bedroom, the bathroom, and the kitchen.

I have only been moving in for about half a year after I did the simple decoration, and there are very few things at home, which is basically clear at a glance.

Of course, they won't find anything.

The attitude of the leader made Zhu'er very unhappy, and several times he wanted to give him a ghost slap on the back of the head, but was stopped by my stern gaze.

"Where has he gone?" The man asked again.

"I don't know." I said, feeling a little dissatisfied with his attitude, "I'm sorry, can I take a look at your papers?" ”

Without hesitation, the man took out his ID from his jacket pocket and handed it to me.

Xiao Guozheng, the director, is Gundam's top boss.

I took one look and handed him back.

"We suspect Gundam is missing." Xiao Guozheng looked at me with stern eyes, "He didn't go back after he came out with you today, we hope you can provide some clues." ”

I was very uncomfortable with his eyes, and I couldn't help but sneer and say, "You don't think I kidnapped Gundam, do you?" ”

I suddenly realized that for the past two days, I don't know why, I always can't hold my temper. If it was before, I should have been able to stand this bit of anger, and I wouldn't have said anything good.

Xiao Guozheng didn't answer me directly, took out a white envelope from his underwear pocket and handed it to me.

On the envelope was written three words, "Gundam Receipt".

I didn't have to look at it to know that it was the letter that Gundam had shown me during the day. It's just strange that Xiao Guozheng's clothes were mostly wet from the rain, but the letter was very dry and not wet at all.

I took the envelope anyway, pulled out the letter and looked at it.

Yes, it's the letter Gundam showed me.

"I've seen this Gundam," I said honestly, "and after reading the letter, he said he wanted to come to Junfa Castle to have a look, and he sent me back on the way." When he arrived, he said he wanted to go to the property first, and then we separated. ”

"What about you? Where have you been all day? ”

"I've been sleeping at home, and I woke up when you rang the doorbell just now." Of course, this is a little untrue, and I should have woken up an hour ago.

"Really?" Xiao Guozheng asked.

My anger suddenly came up again, and I couldn't help but sneer and said, "I was dragged by you to be locked up for a day or two nights for no reason, what can I do if I don't sleep when I come back?" ”

Xiao Guozheng ignored my angry words: "I know Gundam, he should be hiding in this room upstairs with you tonight, logically speaking, you should be with him." ”

"He's a cop, I'm not." I say.

Xiao Guozheng took out a Samsung mobile phone from his underwear pocket, opened it, and fiddled with it for a long time, and the mobile phone was handed to my eyes.

What I saw was a text message: "If you want to find out the Gundam, please ask Chen Xiaodao for help." As a friendly reminder, if no one is found within three days, he will most likely die of starvation and thirst. "And then there's a smiley face.

Why did you get me on again?

The text message was sent at 12:31, just over an hour ago.

The sender of the text message is none other than Gundam himself.
