Chapter 9 - The Vanishing Rich Merchant... The decision with Ye Qing

The person who came was a middle-aged woman, and as soon as she entered the door, she asked Ye Qing anxiously if she could solve the supernatural incident, although Ye Qing also drank a lot of wine, she comforted the woman very soberly and asked her to wait for Shen Bai to come out at the guest seat.

After Shen Bai washed his face and woke up, he walked from the bathroom to the office desk, and the middle-aged woman who came into his eyes sat there with an anxious expression, with an uneasy and frightened look in her eyes, and she already looked like a master of the six gods.

But the woman's dress can be seen at a glance that she is not an ordinary family - a black dress cheongsam, the handbag she is holding is 'Louis' (an international famous brand), her white neck is wearing an agate stone pendant strung with jade beads, the wrists on the table are folded above, and she also wears a gold and jade bracelet, and a 3-carat diamond ring on her ring finger is shining.

After Shen Bai sat down, he looked at the luxurious lady who came to visit late at night, took out a notepad and spoke: "Hello, the White Night Office is at your service, is there anything you need help with?" I am Shen Bai, the head of the firm. ”

The woman took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and began to narrate to Shen Bai:

The woman's name is Guo Running, and her husband is a wealthy businessman in F City (F City is next to D City), and three days ago, her husband, who was supposed to go home from the company, did not return until 12 o'clock at night.

Looking at the passing of the wall clock time, the worried Guo Running called her husband to ask if there was anything urgent about the company, but her husband was vague on the other side of the phone and refused to say it clearly.

Under questioning, he just said that the company had entered a thief, and then hung up the phone in a hurry, and before hanging up, he said that he would make a record at the police station and go back the next morning. Guo Running, who heard that her husband was fine, also fell asleep.

But when her husband came home the next morning, she realized that things should not be as simple as a thief......

According to Guo Running's description, her husband came home with bloodshot eyes, a look of horror and deep panic, saying that he was going to move and let himself pack his things; After saying that, let her wait at home, and go out to contact the moving company and the house by herself.

I didn't see anyone until I came to the office to entrust me, and although I kept calling during the period, I kept reminding the user that he was not in the service area.

Moreover, when Guo Running went to the police station where her husband claimed to have made the record, the police station replied that her husband had not made a record at all, and had not received a report from her husband.

After Shen Bai listened to the woman's narration, the carbon pen that turned his fingertips stopped turning, and he sighed and said to the woman: "Ms. Guo, according to your description, this is a case of missing persons, and our White Night Office only takes over supernatural events. This kind of thing... You can only go to the police station to report the crime, and I can only say that there is nothing you can do. ”

"No, it must not be an ordinary disappearance! If it was an enemy seeking revenge or his competitors trying to deal with him, he couldn't have come back that day without saying anything, and he didn't mean to call the police. He must have encountered something unusual, I want you to help me investigate first, if it really is not a supernatural case, I will not trouble you again. This is a deposit, if you find out anything please contact me as soon as possible. ”

Guo Running resolutely refused to admit that it was a missing person case, and unexpectedly pulled out a stack of cash from his bag.

Hua Tingyu, who had just finished throwing out the garbage and came in from the door, looked at the boss with the stack of money with his eyes open, walked quickly to Shen Bai's side and whispered: "Boss, there are at least tens of thousands of dollars so thick, don't care about this woman's entrustment, why don't we make money if we have money?" ”

Shen Bai looked at Hua Tingyu helplessly, it's okay to deal with the evil cult by himself, looking for someone? He's not a professional detective, so how can he find a needle in a haystack? It's almost as good as finding the souls of the dead! Let's see if this woman's husband is still alive.

Shen Bai thought of this, turned his head to look at the woman and said, "Ms. Guo, it's better to be like this; I will first make a record for you according to the process, and then help you see if your husband is still alive, the deposit is not necessary, and then you will consider going to the police station to report the case, after all, we really have no similar experience in finding people, what do you think? ”

The woman saw that Shen Bai was not clear but refused, but she also said that she could not help her find her husband, and sighed and said: "Okay, I'm not sure if my husband is still alive, you can accept the deposit, and you should be sure of the reward for my husband's life and death." ”

Hua Tingyu was still pouting, dissatisfied with Shen Bai's behavior of pushing the money sent to the door, after hearing what the woman said, he hurriedly picked up the stack of money, and looked at Shen Bai with burning eyes, which meant to say: Boss, I'll do this, don't push away our God of Wealth!

Shen Bai watched Fei Yu hold the stack of money on his chest and protect it, and said helplessly: "Fei Yu, you are good at this, come on; But wait until I'm done with the transcript. ”

When Hua Tingyu heard that Shen Bai agreed, he hurriedly said to the woman: "This lady, don't worry, determining your husband's life and death is a trivial matter to me." As he spoke, he squeezed his eyebrows at Shen Bai, meaning that you should ask quickly.

After Shen Bai scolded Hua Tingyu in his heart, he began to record while asking.

The disappearance of a wealthy businessman (TBD).

Client: Guo Running

Age of the principal: 38

Relationships with missing persons: husband and wife

Date of disappearance: Lost contact after leaving his home on August 26, **

There is no yin qi on the client's body, and there is no abnormality after inquiry, so it is ruled out that there are evil spirits in the house. It is understood that before the disappearance, the missing person behaved abnormally and concealed it from his client, and after his disappearance, he could not contact the missing person by phone, friends or company employees, and relatives, and his fate is currently unknown

Mission: Find the missing person (to be confirmed) and confirm if the missing person is currently alive

Gratuity: Deposit 60,000 (cash)

Confirmed to be a paranormal event: Under investigation

Recorded by: Shen Bai

Date of Record: August 29, **

When Shen Bai was making a record, Hua Tingyu pulled Ye Qing, who had already gone upstairs to rest, to help him set up the altar, preparing to make the movement bigger, so that the woman felt that the money was not spent in vain.

But in fact, there is no need for such a big battle, it is a command flag and cinnabar yellow paper, and there is a gossip wooden plate in the middle, and there are tools for conjuring spirits. There are also peachwood swords and soul bells on both sides, are you sure about life and death or do you want to fight with ghosts? Why did you get a peachwood sword? Neurotic!

When he got this, Ye Qing frowned and asked Hua Tingyu, what are you going to do? Do you want to bring in a wronged soul and kill it? Hua Tingyu said that he had received the money and wanted to be more professional, but the angry Ye Qing almost lifted the altar that had been set up, glared at him and went upstairs to sleep.

After Shen Bai finished making a record for the woman, Hua Tingyu couldn't wait to ask the missing person's date of birth from the woman's mouth, and waved the wooden sword a few times in front of the shrine. After finishing the calculation, Hua Tingyu paused for a moment and muttered, "It's not right..."

After a while, Hua Tingyu frowned and pinched again, frowned and looked at the woman and wondered, "Eldest sister, did you mistake your husband's birthday?" Or don't remember exactly what year he was born? When the woman heard Hua Tingyu's question, her face looked a little unpleasant, but she didn't get angry.

Just a little dissatisfied said to Hua Tingyu: "We have a very good relationship between husband and wife, I married him when he was still poor, and I have accompanied him from a poor boy to the CEO of a listed company, and I give him a birthday gift every year, how can I remember wrong?" ”

Shen Bai saw that Hua Tingyu's expression was also a little wrong, and he was afraid that Hua Tingyu and the client would be unhappy, so he walked quickly to the altar and asked Hua Tingyu what was going on.

Hua Tingyu replied: "Boss, you also know that although I don't have much ability to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, I also have some skills in Feng Shui or something, and I will definitely not go wrong with something as simple as calculating a birthday." Although I will not change my life, there can be no mistake in the calculated life; And I counted the birth date that this eldest sister gave me twice, all of them are the life of a poor life, this eldest sister's husband is not to mention poor, he is the CEO of a listed company, and he should be a character, right? It's completely inconsistent with this birthday! ”

When Shen Bai heard Hua Tingyu say this, he was also a little puzzled, and thought to himself in his heart: It's just a matter of eight characters, and he can calculate it himself, and Fei Yu will definitely not make a mistake in this regard.

But Ms. Guo is so anxious about her husband, and she shouldn't misremember her husband's birthday and year of birth, but why does the natal character of this birthday count not match the actual situation? Could it be that ... Is it a ghost?

No, it can't be a ghost, this woman has no yin qi at all, and if the missing person raises ghosts, his family will not have any yin qi at all, not to mention that raising ghosts can only make a small fortune from a bad way, from being poor and white to owning a listed company, it is not something that ghosts can do. Could it be that ...

Thinking about it, Shen Bai seemed to think of something important, and discussed with the entrusted Ms. Guo that the investigation of life and death would be postponed for the time being, and Shen Bai had some guesses about the reason for the disappearance of the missing person, and he needed to go to the client's home to confirm it, and discuss going to his home to check it in person the next day.

After sending the woman away, Shen Bai asked Hua Tingyu to clean up the Shentai and wait for him in the study; Then I went to the reference room and rummaged through the rows of materials displayed on the shelves. Shen Bai's eyes locked on a book written by Mr. Yin and Yang called "Mountain Spirit Strange Talk", and he took it out and flipped through it carefully.

The preface of the book says: I was a yin and yang gentleman who traveled in the south, traveled all over the world and encountered a lot of strange things, and recorded them in the notes I carried after solving them, and I will record some things that have not been solved, and then compile this book. (In the preface, the people who eat 'two meals' are talking about people like Taoist priests and Mr. Yin and Yang who can deal with the ghosts and ghosts of the underworld and hide demons in the world.) )

As Shen Bai flipped through the pages, he found the content of his conjecture: Wutong God (also known as the Evil God of Wealth) is generally transformed by the spirits in the mountains; A very small number of people have become this thing after their deaths. In the early years, when I was passing through a small town, I happened to come across a large family holding a funeral, and I was angry at the funeral hall, so I went to investigate.

After investigation, it was learned that the deceased, when he was young, was just a hawker selling soy milk in the market, and then for some reason, he got the help of nobles to develop his own soybean milk brand, and became the richest person in the town.

The book records the person who wrote the book, Mr. Yin and Yang, and then launched a further investigation.

The man who died was supposed to live for 74 years, but now he died at the age of 53, and the resentment emanating from the body condensed. This Mr. Yin and Yang calculated the deceased's life again, and found that his life was idle and inactive, and it was not a rich life.

The puzzled Mr. Yin and Yang set his eyes on a strange clay statue that the deceased had enshrined during his lifetime, and according to his relatives, after the deceased enshrined this strange clay statue, the family became richer and richer.

After Mr. Yin and Yang inspected, he found that there was an unusual Yin Qi in the clay sculpture!

Following the yin qi, Mr. Yin and Yang found the woods near the town that few people go to, and found the owner of the yin qi in the woods - an unknown spirit with a rat head and one eye, a three-legged dog body and a snake tail behind him.

It turned out that the deceased was drunk before his death, and accidentally came to the forest to cry about his poverty and misfortune. When the spirit heard this, he appeared and asked him to worship him, and in exchange for a portion of his lifespan, he brought him fortune.

When the man agreed, the spirit gave him a strange clay sculpture and asked him to drip his blood on it and take it home to worship. Then the spirits helped the man become rich·····

According to the situation, Mr. Yin Yang is also very helpless, this is clearly an equivalent transaction, and one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. After that, he didn't say much, and left.

And this spirit is called the 'Five Paths God' and the 'Evil God of Wealth' by Mr. Yin and Yang!

After Shen Bai finished the story and experience recorded in this article, he completely confirmed his guess, and determined that the client's husband must have met and worshiped these five gods out of nowhere. The deceased in the record became the richest man in the town at the cost of 21 years of life.

And the client's husband should have to pay the 'price', it is very likely that he was led somewhere by the five gods to take away the rest of his life.

When Shen Bai was thinking about how to save people from the hands of the Wutong God, Hua Tingyu came in.

"Boss, don't think I'm slow to clean up, Ye Qing helped me before, and now I'm cleaning up alone, it's already very fast..." Hua Tingyu was afraid that Shen Bai would say that he was ink, so he hurriedly explained after entering the door

"Don't talk nonsense, it's no problem when people give you the date of birth, you just counted her husband's birthday, how old can that person live?"

"Uh... It's about 85, but it's been poor all his life, and the life grid also shows that the person will not have offspring, but the life grid obviously doesn't match his own condition, is it really not the woman's mistake? ”

"Look at this, I just flipped it out."

Shen Bai handed over the information he had found to Hua Tingyu, Hua Tingyu took it and checked it, his expression changed from confusion at the beginning to surprise, and finally turned into a sad face, closed his forehead with regret, and complained:

"It's all my fault for being greedy for money, and now I'm doing such a thing. Mr. Yin and Yang, who wrote this book, is definitely not weak, he can't handle the evil God of Wealth, and we can't deliver food to others when we go! Ye Qing will leave tomorrow, this... Why don't we give her a picture of whether people are dead or alive, so don't worry about it? ”

Shen Bai didn't speak, just stared at Hua Tingyu's eyes all the time; Hua Tingyu was stared at all the time, and he could only say weakly: "Boss, you say, I listen to you, don't stare at me like this." ”

"After we send Ye Qing away tomorrow morning, we will go to the client's house in the afternoon to find the clay statue." Shen Bai looked away and inserted the book back into the bookshelf, and said firmly: As long as it is a supernatural event, he will be in charge!

"What's the matter? Still hiding it from me? Isn't it true that I'm a friend? Ye Qing didn't know when he leaned against the door frame, clasped his hands on his chest and tilted his head to look at Shen Bai.

"Tell me, what's going on? While I haven't decided where to go, stay a few more days, and I'll join you on this commission. ”

It seems that Ye Qing didn't sleep at all after going upstairs before, but listened to the situation downstairs upstairs. I had been waiting for Shen Bai and Hua Tingyu to tell him about this commission.

Shen Bai smiled bitterly, his face full of complexity. Hua Tingyu looked up and saw Ye Qing when he heard this, and lowered his head with some guilt after the surprise on his face...

The two thought that they wanted to set up someone before, although they became friends later, and they always wanted to keep Ye Qing, but in the last few days, Shen Bai figured it out and let go of the pain.

But Ye Qing didn't worry about the two of them, especially after seeing that no one was looking for him to say anything before, he came to the door of the data room and heard that Hua Tingyu was a little cowardly, so he decided to stay and help these two new friends see how difficult it was to solve this commission!

After Shen Bai sighed, he looked at Ye Qing with a complicated expression of gratitude, took out the "Mountain Spirit Strange Tales" that had just been inserted back and turned to the page of Wutong God, handed it over and said: "I guess that this incident should be about Wutong God, and it can be determined by going to the client's house tomorrow to find the strange clay sculpture." Ye Qing, you··· Didn't you want to leave a long time ago, why delay your time because of these little things? ”

After Ye Qing took it, he looked at Shen Baihua Tingyu with a calm expression and said

"I decided to stay for the sake of two friends, and if it's a paranormal event, it's an experience for me. Let's go together tomorrow! ”

Shen Bai and Hua Tingyu glanced at each other, looked at Ye Qing and nodded in response————

"Hmm!" (double voice)
