Xie Xiaolou and the black wolf sent Bailing back to the room to rest, after a thrilling night, Bailing, a twenty-three-year-old girl, was already tired, and was injured again, and fell asleep next to the pillow.

Seeing that Bai Ling was already asleep, the two gently walked out of the room and slowly closed the door.

"The two bodies are gone, and the only clue that has a slight eyebrow is gone." The black wolf was still in some spirits, lit a cigarette, and stood in the corridor outside the door to smoke.

"It's not entirely without clues." Xie Xiaolou frowned and thought.

"Huh?" When the black wolf heard him say this, he turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.

"The cause of this incident is still on the living corpse that jumped off the building in disguise, so if you want to find out the purpose of the person behind it, you have to start here." Xie Xiaolou analyzed.

"However, we have already checked some of his information, including household registration, family, etc., and have found nothing, how can we check?" Since the black wolf took over this case, he racked his brains and checked everything that should be investigated, but except for knowing that it was a living corpse, there was no other discovery, and the residents around the crime site had also asked, and no one knew him.

"Where did he go, you think, he faked suicide and then went?" Xie Xiaolou guided the black wolf.

"Went to the hospital," the black wolf buzzed in his head, as if thinking of something, "you mean we'll start with the hospital again?" ”

Xie Xiaolou nodded, "Judging from the current situation, the only way for the living corpse to be found is the place where the crime occurred and the hospital morgue, since nothing can be found at the crime site, it is better to follow his actions and continue to investigate." ”

"But what can the hospital find? We all know the identities of Lao Chen and Dr. Zhang, but they are just two substitute ghosts, and there is nothing suspicious, the only suspicious one may be ......" The black wolf thoughtfully.

"Yes, it's the crossroads, and they both went to the crossroads last night through the Soul Charm spell, so it's very likely that they went to the same place before." Xie Xiaolou paused, "Of course, the crossroads extend in all directions, and it is not necessarily. ”

The black wolf snuffed out the cigarette butt, "So ...... we go to the hospital?" ”

"What can't be found in the yang world, you may be able to find clues in the underworld." Xie Xiaolou said slowly.

"Hades?" The black wolf was surprised.

"Don't be nervous, of course it's not us going to the underworld, just letting 'them' come up." Xie Xiaolou said with a smile.

"Can you summon spirits?" The black wolf asked nervously, after all, if the souls of the two could be summoned and the situation before death could be restored, it would be of great help to the case.

However, Xie Xiaolou shook his head, "I won't, I have to find a specialized onmyoji." ”

The so-called Onmyoji, some people call Mr. Feng Shui or the great god of jumping, knows witchcraft and Taoism, there are slight differences according to different places, but the main role is to be able to communicate the two worlds of Yin and Yang, it is said that the very high Onmyoji can shuttle between the two worlds of Yin and Yang, convey grief for the living, and fulfill the wishes of the dead. The territory of Xiangxi is a remote mountain corner, and in ancient times, the common people mostly admired witchcraft to seek rain, cure diseases or do yin and yang things. After a long period of civilization and enlightenment, witchcraft has gradually declined like a corpse, and has become what most people call a sidewalk.

When Father Xie was young, he had gone through a few months to chase out corpse craftsmen, so he knew some wizards who knew yin and yang, and now they have become some poor peasants, who seem to be honest and honest on weekdays, and they cultivate their own acres and thirds of land conscientiously, and no one will associate them with these ghosts and gods.

Xie Xiaolou told the black wolf about the situation, so he made an appointment to contact him at midnight, and he planned to visit his father's old friend and ask him to go out of the mountain to help.

As soon as he walked to the door of the Public Security Bureau, he saw Xie Xiaolou's nemesis Long Yan coming towards him.

"You're good kid now." Long Yan smiled mysteriously and pulled him to the corner, "I heard that you have started to investigate the case with people in the province?" ”

Xie Xiaolou was taken aback: "You know everything." ”

"Of course, my brother is also from the Internal Intelligence Section." Long Yan said proudly.

"What kind of intelligence department, isn't it just a record of information?" Xie Xiaolou said bluntly.

"You," Long Yan pretended to be angry, "don't cross the river and tear down the bridge, if I hadn't introduced you to this errand, you would have made so much money in a few years?" ”

"Isn't it a bazi yet, if it weren't for the poverty of my family, I would have exchanged my life for money?" Xie Xiaolou thought that it was Long Yan who introduced Zhou Wen at the beginning, so he had the opportunity to get the bounty, and his tone softened a little.

"Okay, I'm sure you can, don't say it, you go busy, I'm at work." Long Yan listened to Xie Xiaolou's tone softened, and his heart became happy.

"Don't worry, I won't forget Officer Long's great kindness!" Saying that, Xie Xiaolou walked out of the public security bureau without looking back.

I originally wanted to go back to rest and rest, after all, I was tired all night, but I was afraid that I wouldn't wake up and miss the right thing, Xie Xiaolou still felt that I would go to Uncle Wu first.

This Uncle Wu is the wizard Xie Xiaolou is looking for who can understand yin and yang, but at this moment, Uncle Wu is pickling kimchi at home.

Xie Xiaolou walked for a long time, and finally walked to a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city, where seasonal vegetables were neatly planted at the gate of the yard.

"Boss, have a plate of sour bracken and folded ear root (houttuynia cordata)." Xie Xiaolou swaggered in and pushed the door in.

Uncle Wu knew who was coming when he heard the voice, and shouted loudly: "Okay, just come, you can sit." Then he skillfully took out two plates of glossy kimchi from several glass jars in front of him and brought them to Xie Xiaolou.

Xie Xiaolou sat in the hall, picked up the chopsticks early, and began to eat non-stop as soon as Uncle Wu brought the kimchi.

"Uncle Wu's pickled kimchi is delicious, a must!" Xie Xiaolou picked up a bracken and said while eating.

"Hahaha, the kid's mouth is filled, how is your mother lately?" Uncle Wu moved a stool and sat down opposite Xie Xiaolou.

Xie Xiaolou wiped his mouth: "Hey, it's still the same, the spirit is not bad, but the body is getting weaker and weaker." ”

Uncle Wu was silent, listening to Xie Xiaolou talk about his mother, he thought of Father Xie, when one of the two drove out the corpse for people, the other gave people psychic, and they would introduce each other to "business", until the WG period, the two were killed and brought back to life by the Red Guards, although they later saved their lives, but this ability to live can no longer be used. Although he only got along with Xie's father for a few months, Uncle Wu experienced life and death with him, and he felt closer than a friend who had known him for a few years.

So after his father died, Xie Xiaolou often came to Uncle Wu's house from time to time, and by the way, he ate Uncle Wu's "peerless kimchi". ”

"Is there any good way to heal?" Uncle Wu asked with concern.

"I think, when I make a lot of money, I will take my mother to the provincial capital for treatment, and the medical conditions there are much better than here." Xie Xiaolou had already eaten the two plates of kimchi in a moment.

"One more." Uncle Wu picked up the plate and prepared to clip some more to Xie Xiaolou. Xie Xiaolou hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Uncle Wu and stopped: "No need, that's enough." ”

"Xiaolou, I feel that although you came in today and shouted full of energy, I see that you don't seem to be in good spirits, are you in trouble?" What kind of eyes is Uncle Wu, who can see through the yin and yang realm, Xie Xiaolou's tired mental state, he saw through it at once.

"Hey, isn't this raising medical expenses for my mother, Uncle Wu, you must help me with this favor." So he told Uncle Wu about the events of the past few days.

When Uncle Wu heard this, he was silent for a while, and suddenly shook his head: "Xiaolou, I can't help with this." And, ah, you should stop it. ”

Xie Xiaolou's heart sank to the bottom, and he was full of confidence that with his relationship with Uncle Wu, it must be no problem to speak casually, but he didn't know that Uncle Wu actually refused bluntly, and it sounded like there was no room for concession.

"What is Uncle Wu worried about?" Xie Xiaolou didn't give up and wanted to ask the reason.

"This person is definitely not easy to deal with, the ability to refine corpses and cast curses is first-class, and besides, the police have been investigating for so long, and they can't find anything, so it can be seen that this person is not something that we ordinary people can provoke." Uncle Wu lowered his eyes, shook his head and sighed, "You have that ability, if you check it, I'm afraid ......"

Uncle Wu didn't finish his words later, but Xie Xiaolou didn't know what he was going to say.

"Your father was worried about your two brothers and sisters before he died, and asked me to take care of them, I can't watch you die." Thinking of his old friend, Uncle Wu's voice was a little choked, the person in front of him was the only bloodline of the old man, and there must be no mistakes.

"I know that Uncle Wu is for my good, but as a son, how can I miss this great opportunity? As long as you get the bonus, you can take your mother to the provincial capital to see a doctor. Xie Xiaolou's face was calm, knowing Uncle Wu's concerns, he was not willing to force it, so he stood up and said goodbye to Uncle Wu.

Seeing the stubborn back leaving, Uncle Wu wanted to say something, but he wanted to say something and stopped, and never squeezed out a word.

Xie Xiaolou was disheartened, the things in his mind were a mess, and his chest was extremely depressed, so he simply played with his temperament, didn't care about anything, didn't think about anything, and went straight home.

When he arrived at the house, seeing that his mother was still taking a nap, Xie Xiaolou threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Xie Xiaolou smacked his mouth, felt that his mouth was dry, tried to open his eyelids, and got up to find water to drink.

"Xiaolou is awake." Xie Mu's voice sounded very energetic, "Come and see who's coming?" ”

Xie Xiaolou walked to the bedroom and found that there was another person sitting on the edge of the bed besides his mother, serving tea and pouring water for his mother.

"Uncle Wu......" Xie Xiaolou was in a daze and remembered the events of the day, thinking that there might be a turnaround.

"Xiaolou, I'm coming to see you, and by the way, I brought you some home-grown vegetables and chickens." Uncle Wu saw Xie Xiaolou wake up and said to him with a smile.

"Uncle Wu has a heart, and he is so polite." Xie Xiaolou found a kettle, poured a glass of water and drank it.

"Why didn't Xiaolou come home last night?" Xie Mu asked suddenly. Although Xie Xiaolou doesn't sleep at home from time to time, Xie's mother is used to it, but every time Xie Xiaolou comes back the next day, his mother will ask him where he went the night before, half of it is concerned, and half of it is not at ease.

"Ah, last night, Fat Li's barbecue stall was short of people, so I went to help all night." Xie Xiaolou casually made up a reason, anyway, his mother wouldn't really go after it.

"Oh, well, you should also be careful not to get tired, pay attention to rest." Xie Mu is still a little worried.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Xiaolou is a sensible child, and he knows how to take responsibility at such a young age." Uncle Wu said with a sigh.

Xie Xiaolou smiled and didn't speak.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Uncle Wu stood up and said, "It's too late, so I won't disturb my sister-in-law's rest, and I'll come to see my sister-in-law next time." ”

Mother Xie couldn't help but thank him, and told Xie Xiaolou to send him off.

Xie Xiaolou led Uncle Wu to the door, Uncle Wu closed the door, looked up at the moon and said, "Tonight will be according to your plan, I will rush to the hospital directly." ”

Originally, he was still worried about the question of where to find the Onmyoji next, but Uncle Wu, who was listening, suddenly said this, Xie Xiaolou didn't come back to his senses, and was stunned for a while before he spoke: "Uncle Wu...... You...... Promised? ”

"Xie Yuan's son is my son." Uncle Wu said lightly.

At midnight, the black wolf and Bai Ling came to the morgue of the county hospital, and found that in addition to Xie Xiaolou, there was also a middle-aged man standing, who looked like a farmer facing the loess with his back to the sky, and he was tanned by working under the scorching sun every day.

"This is, the Onmyoji you are talking about?" Although the black wolf was a little skeptical, he was invited by Xie Xiaolou, and out of politeness, he tried his best to suppress his tone.

When Bai Ling saw Uncle Wu's dress, he didn't have a bottom in his heart.

"Yes, he is my brother, Wu Shuntong, who has had a life-and-death relationship with my father." Xie Xiaolou paused, "A long time ago, he was a very famous wizard. ”

"Hello two officers." Wu Shuntong greeted the two shyly.
