I lowered my head, thinking about the case of the little Taoist priest as I walked, when suddenly a figure appeared in front of me, and I collided with her without paying attention.

"You don't walk long, do you?"

I looked up at the girl who was talking, a white T-shirt with a denim skirt, a scattered bag and sunglasses on the side, her face was delicate, without too much embellishment, and it looked refreshing.

"I'm really sorry, I was thinking about things just now, are you okay?"

The girl got up in a hurry, as if she was in a hurry, "Be careful when you walk in the future." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry." I nodded and apologized to her.

She didn't intend to entangle with me, so she picked up the bag and sunglasses that had fallen on the ground and hurried to the first floor.

"What's wrong with you? Soulless? Li Mubai looked at me suspiciously.

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about the case of the Jade Toad Palace."

The little guy was a little hungry and impatient, and urged me in his bag.

"There are no clues at the moment, and you are thinking in vain." Li Mubai walked leisurely in front, seemingly completely unaffected by the Taoist murder.

I nodded, and Li Mubai and Li Mubai chose a window position in the dining bar on the second floor, where you can see the gate of the Jade Toad Palace, the morning bell and dusk drum in the Wenbi Peak, and the police car parked at the gate of the Jade Toad Palace has not yet left. Suddenly, several Taoist priests came out of the Jade Toad Palace, each carrying a black cloth bag in their hands, and they didn't know what was inside.

"Can I sit here, two?"

I looked back at the person who greeted us, in his thirties, with messy hair, casually dressed, and a shirt with obvious creases under a leather jacket, which must have just been changed.

"There's no one here, but?" Li Mubai looked back at the empty seat behind him and motioned for him to sit there.

"Oh, sorry, that's right."

As he spoke, he took out a document from his bag, "I am Lu Peng from the Public Security Bureau of Ding'an County, Hainan Province, because at three o'clock this afternoon, there was a murder in the Jade Toad Palace in Wenbi Peak, I want to understand the situation with the two of you at that time." ”

"We weren't at the scene of the crime, the officer was looking for the wrong person." I looked at him and said.

"Really?" He first looked at me and then turned his head to look at Li Mubai, and then continued to ask, "Did you only know that there was a murder inside after you came out?" ”

"Yes." Li Mubai replied truthfully.

"What do you think is so strange about this case?"

Li Mubai looked up at Lu Peng, "The police officer doesn't suspect that this case is related to us, right?" ”

Lu Peng looked us up and down, and suddenly said: "Originally, I was not in charge of this case, a week ago, the chief presiding officer of the Jade Toad Palace, Jiang Qijiang, disappeared, and I have been doing his disappearance investigation. ”

As he spoke, Lu Peng pulled a chair from the side and sat down.

"Jiang Qi is missing?" Li Mubai's face was full of astonishment, "This is impossible, I have contacted him before." ”

"You've been in touch, when?"

"About three days ago."

"Are you sure it's him?" Lu Peng's eyebrows tightened, as if he was suspicious of something.

Li Mubai nodded, "Of course I'm sure, I won't hear his voice wrong." ”

"He's still alive." Lu Peng muttered quietly.

"Officer Lee suspects he's dead?"

"Oh, no" Lu Peng hesitated for a moment, "Because no one else has been found for a week, the bureau guesses that he is likely to have been killed." ”

Saying that, Lu Peng took out a small notebook from behind him, this is a notebook for police officers to go out to visit, I have been in the serious crime team for three years, and I am very familiar with this process.

"When did you arrive in Hainan?"

"About ten o'clock in the morning."

"Together?" Lu Peng stretched out his hand and pointed at me.

"Yes."

"Why did you contact Jiang Qi?"

"Jiang Qi and I cultivated the aisle together in Longhu Mountain, and this time I came to Hainan Yuchan Palace to visit him on purpose." Li Mubai explained truthfully.

"Then have you met him after you arrived at the Jade Toad Palace?"

"No," Li Mubai shook his head, "I tried to contact him in the morning, but his phone couldn't get through." ”

"And what did he say to you on your last call?"

"It's all ordinary greetings," Li Mubai thought for a moment, "By the way, he said that I must come to the Jade Toad Palace to find him, at that time I thought he just wanted to talk to me, but now that I think about it, the tone of his speech that day was indeed a little weird." ”

"Do you think he's hinting at you something?" Lu Peng asked.

"I can't tell," Li Mubai frowned, his expression looking a little painful.

"How did he go missing?" I looked at Lu Peng and asked.

"A week ago, Zhu Daochang of the Jade Toad Palace came to the police station to report the case, saying that someone in the Jade Toad Palace was missing, and we didn't care about it at first, because of this kind of Taoist temple, every year there will be some people who can't bear the hardships of Qing Xiu and run away quietly. Until Zhu Daochang told us that the disappearance was Jiang Qi Jiang Daochang, Jiang Daochang is now the acting host of the Jade Toad Palace, since the death of Zhang Zhishun Daochang, Jiang Daochang has become a veritable leader of the Jade Toad Palace, such a pivotal figure, there is no reason why he will disappear for no reason. Lu Peng closed the notebook in his hand.

"Have you contacted his family?" I asked.

"He has no family," Li Mubai looked complicated, "He is an orphan, he was adopted by Zhang Zhishun Daochang since he was a child, he regards Zhang Daochang as his biological father, and now that Zhang Daochang has died, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to enlighten him." ”

"This case is very complicated, if the two of you don't know, then I won't bother."

After speaking, Lu Peng turned around and left.

Li Mubai's eyebrows tightened, I knew that he was worried about Jiang Qi's safety.

"If the case is to be solved, you have to eat, you say yes."

Li Mubai looked at me and nodded.

"Service industry, order food."

"Brother Mu Bai, what is there?" I asked, looking at the menu.

"Whatever you want."

"Then just serve us some of your signature dishes, enough for two people." The waiter took the menu and nodded.

I touched the little guy in the bag, it was already hungry and fell asleep, and I saw that Li Mubai didn't mean to communicate with me.

After dinner, we went back to our rooms, and I was afraid that the little one would be hungry in the middle of the night, so I went to the supermarket downstairs to buy some snacks for him.

At the entrance of the supermarket, I met the girl I had just met in the hotel, and she looked in a hurry, as if she had something important to do.

Not far away, a few trance-like figures entered a neighborhood near the hotel, and I saw that they were all wearing hoodies and masks, and the climate in Hainan was hot, and this kind of dress was obviously a little out of place.

There were several important witnesses living in the Haitian Hotel, and I could detect that there must have been three or five plainclothes people staring at this place in the vicinity.

I went straight back to my room after shopping, and the little guy was already hungry, so he swept away the snacks I had brought back, and then turned around and continued to sleep.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, I really couldn't sleep and wanted to talk to Li Mubai, but I went to his room and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one responded, I thought he must have gone out to investigate Jiang Qi's matter.

After returning to the room, I turned out the qi control technique that Qu Yan asked me to practice in the morning, this set of exercises is different from ordinary cultivation exercises, it has no substantive description, and there are no specific cultivation rules, to put it bluntly, this is a set of exercises that teach people to breathe. If it weren't for this ancient book, I would never have thought it would have been of any use to monasticism.

After meditating and breathing for a long time, I tried to call the Du group, but I still couldn't get through, it stands to reason that the Ren family should not be embarrassed by the Du group, but now two days have passed, and the Du group still has no news, which can't help but make me a little worried.

The next morning I was woken up again by the little one's death, but this time not because it was too noisy, but because of the blinding light that came from it.

I've never seen this before, and as the myth says, the sun is shining, and the little guy meditates and takes off, which looks a little surprising.
