Business is a source of customers and repeat customers, and we are now very stable in returning customers, so it is also very appropriate to develop new customers.

Qiu Hongbo's work is quite special, so the people he knows are either rich or noble, and his status is prominent, and being able to meet these people is beneficial to me and Qiao Wei. And this lunch was very happy, because less than twenty minutes after the meal began, Qiao Wei and I became the focus of the dinner table.

Lao Qiu is really right, the bigger the official does, the more wealth accumulates, the more superstitious people seem to be about ghosts and gods, whether it is this director or the director of this table, all of them ask me and Qiao Wei all kinds of questions about ghosts and gods, of course, it is Qiao Wei who focuses on answering these questions.

After the meal, the two of us had already called these officials brothers, and it was inevitable to leave phone calls for each other, and when they left, they said that if they needed their help, they would just ask.

I think this is probably an equivalent exchange, but Qiao Wei and I should definitely be the one who earns it.

After saying goodbye to Qiu Hongbo, Qiao Wei and I returned to the detective agency, and stayed in the detective agency until the sun went down and the sky turned dark.

The environmental conditions had already met the needs of the soul summoning, and Qiao Wei immediately used the soul summoning duel on the root eagle in the safe house.

As usual, it didn't take long for the summoning to begin in the safe house, and the cold wind turned around the closed room, and in the wind I did hear cries and howls of misery.

When the walls of the whole safe house began to frost, the eagle trembled from side to side, and then half of a human face emerged from the basin! It was from that half of the face that the crying and howling sounds.

Qiao Wei also immediately stopped chanting the Soul Summoning Decision, and stepped forward to paste a piece of rune paper on the half of the person's face.

When the talisman paper covered the half of the face, the crying and the yin wind that enveloped the entire safe house disappeared in an instant, but the half of the face still remained the same as before, did not dissipate or return to a complete face, and did not give birth to a body or limbs below the human face.

"Is it supposed to be like this?" I couldn't help but ask Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei turned back to me and frowned, "It stands to reason that it should be able to return to the state it was in before it was alive or when it was about to die, unless it is not a complete soul. ”

"Half a face, half a soul?" I asked.

"I'm afraid it's less than half, and it's ...... Well......" Qiao Wei thought for a moment, "about a tenth, which is the so-called remnant soul." ”

Remnant soul is another term I've never heard of.

"How are remnants born?" I asked immediately.

"The specific situation is much more complicated, such as encountering a level of garbage exorcism and driving half of it, or the human soul is not dispersed, or the heavenly soul is half ascended and returns because of nostalgia for something, and there will be remnant souls in many cases."

After speaking, Qiao Wei turned his head back to stare at the eagle, and it seemed that the situation was not very optimistic.

I walked over and said, "Remnants are not easy to deal with?" ”

Qiao Wei shook his head silently, "It's easy to deal with, it can be sealed in the simplest way, and it can also make it never cry again, even if it is really not sealed and let it start to move, it will not have any effect on the living, and the remnant soul has no destructive power at all." It's just that this soul can't be exceeded. ”

"That's all it can be?"

"Hmm. Unless it finds a way to get its soul together, it will have to be trapped in this carving forever, and if it destroys it, it will have to wander around. ”

"That's troublesome enough." I sighed, "Huh? You didn't think of this when you first got this root carving, did you? ”

"Huh? Weishenme said so? ”

"Less garlic, or you let Qiu Hongbo ask who gave him this gift?" I said.

Qiao Wei grinned, "You can quite guess." ”

"How can this be called guessing, this is called observation and reasoning, you just say it's not!"

"Yes!" Qiao Wei nodded and admitted: "I have also been in contact with the remnant soul before, the yin qi of the remnant soul is very special, the color and the feeling it gives people are very strange, I can't explain it to you specifically, anyway, it is not the same as normal yin qi." But I'm not sure, so I didn't say it to his face, maybe I didn't want to meet the remnant soul in my heart, but I still met it. ”

"So what now? Put this root carving here and wait for Qiu Hongbo to give a letter? ”

"Well, that's all there is to it." Qiao Wei said.

Although we have to wait for Qiu Hongbo's letter, even if he tells us who sent the root carving, we may not be able to turn this remnant soul into a complete one, the biggest possibility is that there is one more person in our detective agency, but this member is not a living person, nor a complete ghost, but a tenth of the remnant soul.

Because it's New Year's Day soon, I also want to give myself a holiday, so Qiao Wei and I didn't stay in the detective agency that afternoon, and after sealing the root carving, we left the detective agency and went home.

After Shu Xin came back, I also bragged to her that I had already called my brother and brother with several government officials, and I would never have to worry about it in front of her parents in the future, especially in front of her mother! As for the remnant soul or something, I didn't care about it at all, and I didn't mention it to Shu Xin.

I thought that even a little remnant soul wouldn't have any effect on me, not to mention that Qiao Wei had already sealed that root carving.

But something strange happened that night while I was sleeping.

This strange thing didn't have a particularly serious effect on me or Shu Xin, I just faintly heard a deep and soft cry, and this cry only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing. In the confusion, I felt like I had come to a forest, the scenery of the forest was very beautiful, a breeze blew, and the red leaves fell under my feet and made a soft rustling sound, which made people feel refreshed.

I was still reveling in the beauty of the forest, but suddenly half of my face flashed from behind a tree, and it was full of blood. He grinned in pain and let out a pained wail.

Then, one after another, all kinds of mutilated limbs appeared from the woods, including hands, feet, broken legs, and even internal organs! The internal organs of these limbs were like another living creature, and they crawled towards me at a rapid pace, crying out in pain.

I turned around and tried to run away, but I didn't succeed, and my foot was grabbed by a hand, a hand that was severed from my wrist!

At the same time, other stumps, severed arms, and internal organs rushed towards me, surrounding and burying me......

I opened my eyes suddenly, there was darkness around me, I was still lying on my bed, and Shu Xin next to me was still sleeping deeply.

I listened carefully to the movement around me, but I didn't hear any crying.

I was relieved that the dream didn't come true, and when I was about to fall asleep again, I was once again in the beautiful maple forest, and once again I was chased by a group of limbs!

This night, I was tossed by this strange dream several times, and when I finally stopped having that dream, it was already six o'clock in the morning.

If it's just a strange dream, this night of being haunted by strange dreams is definitely not an accident, I believe it is definitely related to the remnants of the detective agency. So after breakfast, I immediately rushed to the detective agency, and met Qiao Wei with dark circles under his eyes in the detective agency.

It seems that he didn't sleep well either.
