Xu Jie squatted beside the corpse and continued to observe it carefully, moving his hand above the corpse from time to time, as if touching an invisible cover on the corpse. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info But he looked puzzled, as if he was looking for something and didn't find it.

At this time, the three apprentices also set up the formation on the ground.

The three people placed eight ancient copper coins around the corpse, and inserted a red pennant in the eye of the copper coin, the red cloth of the pennant was a little dark, and the weight of the cloth was not light, it was difficult to be blown by the wind, and it should be soaked in cinnabar and dyed. After doing this, they used a red rope to surround the eight flags and finally tie a knot.

"Hmm. Trapped Soul Array. Ye Kui saw the doorway.

Fang Jinyuan, who was on the side, heard Ye Kui's words, so he asked what the Sleepy Spirit Array was.

"As the name suggests, the Trapped Spirit Array is used to bind the spirits. This is the basic formation that everyone in the Taoist family will know, and the materials are easy to find, so it is very commonly used. Ye Kui explained, "But they are destined to not be able to catch anything in the trapped spirit array." ”

"Why?" Fang Jinyuan asked in surprise.

"Because the ghost thing that attacked the front desk lady just now has already escaped, as for the soul of the front desk lady......" Ye Kui said, touching the pocket of his coat.

Fang Jinyuan thought of the paper figure that Ye Kui had made with his blood before, and thought that Ye Kui had already collected the soul of the front desk lady.

Sure enough, as Ye Kui expected, the four masters and apprentices were busy there for almost an hour, and they didn't catch anything, and there was only a pile of skins left here, and there were no spirits left.

However, it was not completely fruitless, Xu Jie used a talisman to shake back and forth on the corpse, and actually collected a trace of ghost energy from the ghost thing that killed the front desk lady.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, they were finally busy, and under the hospitality of the village chief, Ye Kui also went to eat.

After eating, Xu Jie was a little worried about the talisman with traces of ghost energy in his hand. After being busy for a long time, I didn't expect to have such a little gain. I have already heard the ins and outs of the matter from Officer Cheng, and the Spiritual Bureau has also sent the information to them, but they are full of questions, and they can't find out for a while.

At this time, Ye Kui and Fang Jinyuan happened to come in from outside, and they were holding some wild fruits in their hands, as if they had gone somewhere to play.

"Ye Xiaoyou, huh...... I would like to ask you if you have any clues in this case? If we share clues, we might find out something. Xu Jie also had no choice, seeing Ye Kui coming in, he wanted to see if he could get anything useful.

But before Ye Kui could speak, the little gray flying squirrel sitting on his shoulder suddenly screamed: "Bull nose!" You cut off our paste, and you want us to give you clues!? Isn't this a part-time job for you and a discounted payment! Beautiful you! ”

Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, thinking that it seemed to be true, so he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Uh...... That's it, you don't give clues in vain, we pay for it from the Spiritual Bureau, you make a price, as long as it's not outrageous, we still have some funds to pay. ”

Officer Cheng also returned to the village committee lounge at this time, and when he came in, he happened to hear their conversation.

"Ah, this dare is good, this little master did get some information, I looked at them and seemed to find something, but I haven't had time to ask, if this deal can be done, everyone will be happy." Officer Cheng wished that Xu Jie could buy intelligence, he had been blaming himself for calling the Spiritual Bureau, if he could earn back Ye Kui's losses by relying on intelligence, he would feel a little better.

"That's fine! According to the market, we will sell you the information, and we will not cheat you, our information is definitely worth the price! The little flying squirrel said cutely.

"Uh...... Okay, let's call everyone over. Xu Jie saw that Ye Kui really had any clues, and immediately became excited.

After a while, everyone gathered in the meeting hall of the village committee.

On one side of the conference table sat the four Xu Jie masters and apprentices, and on the other side sat Ye Kui, who was still smiling, Fang Jinyuan, who was a little dazed, and Fan Zicheng, who had a black face who had changed back into human form.

Officer Cheng didn't come to the table, he pulled a chair and sat in the corner with Peng Yongmin, and in the conference room, there was also the village chief of Wuxi Village, after all, there were dead people in the village, and it also alarmed the leaders who seemed to be very high-level, making him a little restless.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little awkward, but soon, Ye Kui pushed a piece of paper in front of him in front of Xu Jie on the opposite side.

Xu Jie turned the paper over, and only one number 100 was written on it. He looked at the number, his face changed, and he couldn't figure out what it meant. Lu Yena, who was sitting next to him, also saw the 100, and he didn't understand.

"Ye Xiaoyou, is this 100 yuan?" Xu Jie asked cautiously.

Ye Kui paused for a moment, and suddenly laughed, Fang Jinyuan's face was a little weird, Fan Zicheng surprisingly ignored them and glanced to the side. Officer Cheng's face was not very good, but he didn't expect that Ye Kui's information was only 100 yuan, which was much worse than the 3,000 yuan he promised.

Seeing their actions, Xu Jie chuckled in his heart, he had already guessed what this 100 meant. Seeing that his face had changed, Ye Kui smiled slightly and said:

"Daochang Xu, my price is very fair. The case in Wuxi Village is definitely not as simple as you imagined, you can think slowly, this matter was taken away by the government, and we have nothing to do. But don't blame me for not reminding you, if you deal with it late, I'm afraid you won't let you go so easily. Ye Kui still kept smiling, but the aura he exuded at this time didn't know why, which made Xu Jie feel more depressed than Fan Zicheng.

"This ...... Our funds are not enough, it's just a homicide, your price is really ......" Xu Jie's face was not good-looking.

"Hehe, it's okay. I said I'm not in a hurry, Xu Daochang, you think slowly. Ye Kui said, leaning back in his chair leisurely, "Oh, by the way, as an additional service, I would like to attach a piece of information to you: tonight, there will be deaths." Ye Kui paused and added, "More than one." ”

Xu Jie was stunned, he had been in the Spiritual Bureau for many years, and when he heard that more than one person was going to die, Xu Jie also knew that the situation had exceeded his expectations.

And just when Xu Jie was stunned, he heard that there would be people dead in the village, and more than one person would die, the village chief was the first to sit still, he immediately jumped up, took out 100 yuan from his arms and stuffed it into Ye Kui's hand, and said anxiously: "Young man, 100 yuan for you, what do you know?" What will happen to our village? ”

Ye Kui looked at the red banknote in his hand and gently returned it to the village chief, "Village chief, don't break the bank, it's Xu Daochang who wants information, and he has to pay for the money." Don't worry, it's still early, your village will die at night, don't worry. ”

The village chief looked at the 100 yuan in his hand, a little stunned, although he didn't believe that Ye Kui was such a young person, it seemed that he was still in high school, but today there was already one dead in the village, four more died a week ago, and ......

His heart is already hairy, those people's deaths are full of evil nature, and he really can't guarantee whether the next one will be his family, or simply himself.

Thinking of this, the village chief went to beg Xu Jie again, Xu Jie looked at the village chief's appearance, looked at Ye Kui who was calm and relaxed, hesitated for a while, and finally stood up, took his mobile phone and walked outside to make a call.

Xu Jie's phone call lasted for a long time, and it took about more than twenty minutes to finish, and when he returned to the conference room, the people on Ye Kui's side were still the same, his three apprentices looked puzzled, and the village chief was anxious.

Xu Jie walked up to Ye Kui, took a deep breath, and then said to him: "I can't apply for 1 million, but I can call the shots for 500,000." ”

"1 million!?" Except for Ye Kui and Fan Zicheng, everyone exclaimed almost at the same time, and the one who shouted the loudest was Fang Jinyuan.

Fang Jinyuan never knew the charging standards of Ye Xiao and Ye Kui before, they often haunted the scene of some supernatural events, and took him to the scene a few times, but when they negotiated the price a few times, Ye Kui accompanied Fang Jinyuan to wait on the side, and Ye Xiao handled it himself, but he didn't expect Ye Kui's fees to be so high.

"Hehe, Daoist Xu, I said I'm not in a hurry." Ye Kui still looked calm and relaxed.

"No, the bureau is short of funds, and 500,000 is already the limit." Xu Jie shook his head, "Ye Xiaoyou, since you are also a member of the supernatural circle, you are also fighting against those harmful demons and monsters, and some evil people, all of whom are people who maintain social order and security, and the remaining 500,000 are counted as someone who owes you a favor, and you will be able to use my ......place in the future."

"Hey! Stop. Ye Kui raised his hand to stop Xu Jie from continuing, "Dealing with supernatural cases is my side business, I do it to make money, just watch it." But I can't just make random prices and smash my own job, I won't do it. ”

"Side hustle?"

The people in the room, except for Fan Zicheng, who still has a stinky face, everyone else is inexplicable, are there any people who take catching ghosts as fun?

Ye Kui flipped his hand, and handed a pale yellow business card to Xu Jie in his hand, and after the latter took it, he was also puzzled when he saw the position of librarian under Ye Kui's name.

However, this wonder didn't last long, Xu Jie's face slowly began to turn red, and the hands holding the business card began to tremble violently, and he looked at Ye Kui in disbelief, as if he wanted to see something from his face.

Ye Kui was also stunned for a moment when he saw his state, looked at the card in Xu Jie's hand, seemed to understand something, smiled slightly and stopped talking.

Xu Jie's flushed face didn't last long, it began to become white, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and soon his whole body was wet with cold sweat, his knees were a little bent, and it seemed that he just held on to his breath and didn't kneel.

Ye Kui couldn't stand it anymore, and waved his hand at him, "You go back and think about it, there will be no dead people before dark." ”

After he finished speaking, he got up and left the conference room, leaving Xu Jie, who had changed drastically, there.

Walking out of the village committee, it was still about two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining, and the three young people discussed how it might be better to go up the mountain to see what was going on in the ravine where the fallen man died, and maybe they could find some clues.

Walking on the road, Fang Jinyuan finally couldn't help it, took a few steps forward to stop Ye Kui, and asked him directly: "Chopsticks, you give me an honest explanation, what kind of side business, haven't you and Grandpa Ye been on supernatural tasks to deal with cases before?" Now it's not a good job? ”

Ye Kui smiled slightly, he glanced at Fan Zicheng, and saw that Fan Zicheng didn't intend to help him speak, so he explained to Fang Jinyuan himself: "Grandpa and I have indeed had a lot of supernatural tasks before, but we have solved them by ourselves, but there are very few. Our real profession is to collect information on paranormal events, and to hand over the information obtained to people who actually handle cases. ”

"Cut~ It's so nice, to put it bluntly, it's an intelligence dealer." Fan Zicheng didn't know where to pull the rattan, he was using the rattan to pull the leaves next to him, and he didn't know if he was happy or unhappy at this time.

"Haha, almost. So whether we have been cut off or not, in fact, it doesn't matter much, if we are not cut off, I am doing a side job, like today, I am doing a good job, and I still wish someone was cutting off the mud. I can get 3,000 yuan by myself, and I can sell information casually...... Tut-tut, 1 million! Now go to the ravine to take more clues, and you can sell it for money. Ye Kui counted the gains and losses with his fingers.

Hearing Ye Kui's explanation, Fang Jinyuan finally really knew what Ye Kui had done before.

When Fang Jinyuan was full of thoughts, Ye Kui didn't care about him, jumped up and ran to the front like an outing, picked up a snake from the grass, and handed it to him while Fang Jinyuan was still thinking about something, "Pills, look!" ”

After scaring Fang Jinyuan, Ye Kui grinned and stuffed the snake into Fan Zicheng's collar, just like a naughty little devil.

"By the way, the Wuxi Village will be very lively tonight, let's not go, stay in the guest house for one night, and I'll take you to the play." Ye Kui said.

Saying that he would stay for one night, Fang Jinyuan immediately agreed, he used his mobile phone to call his housekeeper and asked him to send some change of clothes, and was about to ask Fan Zicheng if he needed to help him deliver it together, Fan Zicheng had already made a phone call, and said to the other end of the phone in the tone that Fang Jinyuan said to the housekeeper:

"Lili, I'm staying here in Wuxi Village tonight, you can help me send me a few sets of clothes to ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud scream from the other end of Fan Zicheng's mobile phone, which frightened him and quickly took the phone away from his ear.

"Young Master! You run away in the morning and forget it! I didn't even go home for the night at night! Do you think a few of us will be happy to help you look after your home? Every day you know to run out! What about hospitals? Without you as the attending physician, would this clinic still be called a clinic? Whining...... Young master, you squeeze labor! ”

Fan Zicheng was immediately embarrassed, originally wanted to show off in front of Ye Kui and prove that he could also have subordinates like Fang Jinyuan who could be used, who knew that the little nurses under him were all very spicy, and they didn't treat him, the young master, as a young master at all.

"Ye Shao! I know you're too! Our little master was originally very well-behaved, and since you were born, the little demon king of the mixed world, he has learned badly with you! All day long, I don't do my job, I run around with you! You know that you are an intermittent missing group patient, and you still infect my young master with this disease! How are you going to accompany me! ”

Before Fan Zicheng could reply, Lili on the other end of the phone began to be angry with Ye Kui again, and Ye Kui's face suddenly became strange. Lili on the phone chattered a few words, and then hung up the phone crying and fussy.

"That'...... Will she deliver my clothes or not? Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Fan Zicheng asked Ye Kui.

Ye Kui smiled slightly and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Sister Lili will definitely help you send it over, although they have thousands of reasons, but they are still obedient to you." ”

"Well, I hope I don't bury any blade needles in my clothes." Fan Zicheng was a little weak-hearted.

Fang Jinyuan, who was following behind, saw that Fan Zicheng and Ye Kui knew each other so well, and even the circle of friends overlapped, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't say why he was uncomfortable, so Fang Jinyuan, who had always talked a lot, also seemed a little quiet along the way.

The three of them occasionally fought and walked all the way, and soon followed the path taken by the herb picker to the ravine where the body was found, and the ravine where the miracle was said to have occurred was also here.

After arriving at the place, the three of them also stopped fighting. Seriously began to observe this ravine where the incident occurred again and again.

The topography of this ravine is somewhat peculiar, but rather the terrain of the whole mountain is peculiar. There is a lot of granite, and the soil part has been washed away by the sun and rain for a long time, resulting in a "human" shaped gully on the whole mountain pack.

The two ravines do not intersect, but are separated by a section of granite of more than ten meters. The left side extends directly to the foot of the mountain, the ravine is six or seven meters, it is still relatively wide, the ground of the ravine is paved with gravel, and the terrain is relatively flat, it is easy to walk in.

But the one on the right is a long crater in the middle of the mountain, not connected to the foot of the mountain, surrounded by cliffs, although the bottom is also paved with stones, there are no weeds, but the vertical smooth rock wall, because of the dew and the sun is not good, overgrown with moss, except for an opening above, the bottom is basically a closed space.

The ravine on the right is where the bodies of the four young men were found, not to mention whether they would fall to their deaths if they fell from a height of seven or eight meters, even if they didn't fall to death, no one outside pulled them up, they couldn't climb up at all, and they were trapped in this ravine directly.
