Chapter 570: Ghosts Afraid of Corpses
Chunxi Street is not far from Zhen Shan Ju, and the two of them walked for about ten minutes.
Just as a walk to eat.
In winter, when it gets dark early, lanterns have been hung up in the shops on the street, and most of the pedestrians have gone home.
When he arrived at the door of Gu's mansion, Gu Xueting stepped forward and knocked the bronze ring of the beast's head on the door, and there was a loud dog barking sound immediately, and after a while, a one-armed man in his forties opened the door, and when he saw Gu Xueting outside the door, he was surprised: "Lord Wang!" Come on in. ”
Before the two of them entered, a big black dog rushed over and pounced on Gu Xueting, licking his hot tongue on his face, very enthusiastic.
"Haha, Xiao Hei still remembers the prince." Shi Hu, that is, the one-armed man.
Gu Xueting wrapped his arms around Xiao Hei's neck, dodging its enthusiastic licking, and Shen Yizhi watched with a smile beside him.
Shi Hu noticed her, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw her face, and quickly guessed her identity, "Presumably this is the princess, right?" ”
Gu Xueting finally calmed Xiao Hei down, and knew to Shen Yi: "Zhizhi, this is Uncle Shi, one of the fierce generals under my command before, but unfortunately he was bitten off by a demon beast in a battle later. ”
Shen Yizhi called "Uncle Shi".
Shi Hu hurriedly waved his hand: "But you can't afford it, the princess just calls me Lao Shi." You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'm going to make something to eat. ”
Gu Xueting stopped him, "Uncle Shi, don't be busy, Zhizhi and I have already eaten." Go and rest. ”
Shi Hu scratched the back of his head, "Okay, if there is anything, you can call me directly." Blackie, let's go. ”
He tried to take Xiao Hei away, so as not to disturb the prince and his wife, but Xiao Hei kept lying on Gu Xueting's legs, refusing to leave, and whimpering in his mouth.
is like a coquettish child, which really doesn't match its mighty image.
Shen Yizhi was funny, touched its head, Xiao Hei glanced at her, although it was the first time to see this woman, the breath on her body smelled good.
When Shen Yizhi took out a pot of meat and bones, Xiao Hei immediately abandoned Gu Xueting and lowered his head and ate the meat and bones with relish.
Shi Hu smelled the strong fragrance of meat and bones, and he was a little greedy.
Shen Yizhi took out a few side dishes suitable for wine, braised beef, pig ears, peanuts, glutinous rice fat sausage, and a pot of wine, "Uncle Shi, this is my own making, you can taste it." ”
If she sent Shi Hu away, she really didn't necessarily accept it, but these few things in front of her were sent to Shi Hu's heart, "How embarrassing is this......"
"Uncle Shi, you eat slowly, Zhizhi and I will go to rest first." Gu Xueting led Shen Yizhi to the main courtyard.
In the house, the furniture is very Gu Xueting's style, simple and introverted, the color is solemn, and it looks very deserted because no one has lived in it for a long time.
Shen Yizhi immediately started to set it up, and Gu Xueting was also on the side to help.
In a short time, the style of the house changed greatly, from cold and dull to soft and warm.
Shen Yizhi planted a bouquet of flowers, took a few steps back and admired it, feeling perfect, and wanted Gu Xueting to praise himself a few words, when he turned his head, he saw him sitting on the couch, looking down at something, and his body seemed to be ossified.
She walked over, and he was looking at the order that Mei You had given him.
She took the list, read it, and focused on the place where she signed it, Li Xi.
A very ordinary and unobtrusive name.
She seriously suspected that it was a pseudonym.
Maybe it's just an errand runner.
"If you find this Li Shi, you can ask the person behind him." Shen Yizhi took out a tracer charm, entered the aura to activate, and the tracer floated in midair.
Then she burned the order, and the smoke was absorbed by the tracer next to her, and the tracer spun around in midair, and finally recognized the direction, and flew out of the window in an instant.
"Quick, let's follow!" Shen Yizhi pulled Gu Xueting to catch up.
Following the tracer, the two came to Yizhuang, a place dedicated to parking those unclaimed corpses of unknown origin.
In Yizhuang, there was only one old man guarding him, because the weather was too cold, he was huddled in the house to roast the fire, and there was an old yellow dog lying next to him.
The arrival of Shen Yizhi and Gu Xueting was silent, and the old man was unaware, but the old yellow dog suddenly raised his head, as if he was aware, but finally fell back.
The two entered the morgue and accurately found Li Shi's body.
Shen Yizhi lifted the white cloth and looked at it, and concluded: "It was drowned, and the time was no more than ten days." ”
There was also a strong smell of alcohol on this man's body.
Generally, even if he checks it, he will only conclude that he fell into the water and drowned after being drunk, but this person placed a list in Zhenshanju with his front foot, and fell into the water and died with his back foot, who believes this coincidence?
If nothing else, it was the person behind him who killed him, and the purpose was naturally to kill him.
Now, things are a bit tricky, after all, it is impossible for them to burn Li Shi to collect the breath left by the killer, not to mention, after so many days, the trace of breath left by the killer is estimated to have dissipated cleanly.
Just as Shen Yizhi was thinking, Gu Xueting suddenly pulled her back a few steps.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yizhi followed his line of sight and was shocked.
I saw that under the wooden shelf where Li Shi's body was placed, there was a black shadow squatting, to be precise, a ghost shadow.
The ghost of Li Shi.
Unexpectedly, his soul had been staying near the corpse.
Shen Yizhi tried to communicate with him to see if he could ask for news about the killer, but he just squatted there motionless with a blank expression.
It seems that it is impossible to communicate.
Shen Yizhi couldn't help but sigh. I thought there was a turning point, but in the end it was a happy thing in vain.
At this moment, Xie Wanxiang's request came from the bead on her wrist, "Zhizhi, can I come out?" ”
Before, after Xie Wanxiang got the ghost cultivation method given by Shen Yizhi, she had been cultivating in the Nightmare Bead, and now she has achieved a little success, so she wants to come out and breathe.
Of course, before coming out, I learned that Shen would know, otherwise it would be embarrassing if I accidentally bumped into some restrictive picture.
Shen Yizhi was overjoyed, how could she forget Xie Wanxiang! Maybe she can have a way to communicate with Li Shi's soul.
As soon as Xie Wanxiang came out, she found that there were corpses all around, especially Li Shi, who was really startled by the honor that had been blistered, and hurriedly hid behind Shen Yizhi.
Shen Yizhi: "......"
Sister, aren't you a ghost? Why are you still afraid of corpses?
It is estimated that she was too obvious, Xie Wanxiang saw it, and muttered: "Although I am a ghost, I have never dealt with corpses, so I am naturally afraid." ”
She said it quite plainly.
Shen Yizhi pointed under the wooden shelf: "This person's name is Li Shi, try to see if you can ask anything from his mouth." ”
"What do you want to know?"
