I went to find Detective Xu Tao just to ask some things, Xu Tao has a not very good habit, he doesn't accept phone inquiries, and if you want to consult him, you either help him or give money, but you have to communicate with him in person.

There are capable people in the circle who have a bit of a strange temper, and there is no way to do it.

After arriving in Shanghai, my injuries were not yet healed, and of course I didn't want to work for him, but there was no shortage of money. The last time I came to see Xu Tao was two years ago, I haven't seen him for two years, Xu Tao is still the same, hiding in the office and playing games, after seeing me, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What kind of wind invited the head of our Xuanyuan family, what a rare guest." ”

I flattened my mouth, sat down and continued: "I came to consult you about a few things, first, is it possible that someone can live for 10,000 years without dying?" Second, does Fang Zhushan really exist? Third, is it possible to reforge the Weeping Knife that has already been shattered? ”

Each of my three questions is not easy to answer, let alone ordinary people, even supernatural people can't answer them, but Xu Tao claims to be the most knowledgeable in all aspects of our circle, so I flew directly to Shanghai.

Xu Tao turned off the computer, looked at me, and didn't answer my words directly, but said: "I know that you are worth a lot of money now, but I don't have accurate answers to your three questions, I need to check the information, you give me five days." ”

I nodded, and then walked straight out, and when I reached the door, I turned my head and said, "If there is news, come directly to my house, my phone is broken again, and I may only go to get a calling card in the next few days." ”

When I came back this time, I took Dumb, and I haven't been back for many months, I came home, cleaned up, and was about to go out to eat something, but I unexpectedly saw a letter in the mailbox at the door, and walked over and took it out, which read: Duanmusen, I have set a place in the private club on the edge of the Bund, and please get together.

There was no signature, I looked at the date, it was sent half a month ago, and with a sneer, I threw the letter directly into the trash. Dumb, this guy followed me, originally this street was mine, but after the war, it was taken back by the state, of course, it compensated me for some of the losses, and now when I came back, I found that there were more shops on the street, and there were many fresh faces.

I walked into a Japanese ramen shop and shouted, "Boss, let's divide the tonkotsu ramen and the soup." ”

Then I found a vacant seat and sat down, the sky outside was getting darker, the shop was not too lively, there were three waiters, two noodle chefs, and the boss was probably one of them.

My noodles were served quickly, but the girl who served me noodles seemed a little absent-minded, the noodles may be hot when they were put down, and they spilled out all of a sudden, and the soup splashed on my clothes, I dodged back, and the waiter girl came back to her senses, and immediately bowed her head to me and said sorry, and took out a tissue to wipe my clothes, I glanced at her, only to see that her eye bags were very deep, her face was a little pale, and I also saw that there were black lines on the backs of her hands, there are generally two possibilities for this situation, One is that she has severe anemia, and the other is that this girl has been haunted by ghosts all year round.

But either way it's not a good thing! Business was not good, the boss saw the situation on our side, immediately ran over, and then saw that the clothes I was wearing were very expensive, and immediately pulled the waiter aside, and apologized to me: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, your clothes are very expensive, our waiter is rough, don't mind a lot of you." ”

I wasn't angry, no one was at fault, I shook my head and said, "It's okay, be careful next time." ”

The boss smiled when he saw that I didn't care, and said that he wanted to give me a free order, I smiled and said that I didn't have to, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat noodles, the little girl opposite lowered her head and didn't say a word, the boss scolded her: "Go to the back kitchen to help, don't come out, today's salary will be deducted!" This is the third time this week that you have been absent-minded, breaking plates, and angering customers, and if you do this again, don't do it in my shop. ”

The girl immediately nodded, looking a little aggrieved, and ran into the back kitchen, I didn't care about continuing to eat my noodles, and after paying the money, I left the ramen shop and walked in the direction of home, however, I had only walked a few steps, and there was a shout from behind, and then I saw a fire coming out of the ramen shop where I had just eaten noodles, and then several other customers also ran out, and nearby neighbors and passers-by also helped to put out the fire.

I frowned and turned back, how did I talk about the fire and start a fire? I was wondering, but I saw that all the clerks had run out, except for the boss and the little girl who had just been reprimanded.

The fire was not serious, but it was very strange, and I mixed in with the crowd of onlookers and heard a few clerks talking to everyone.

"I was just washing the dishes in the back when I heard Xiaoru shouting, and then I saw a curtain being lit."

"Yes, the fire was really fast at that time, but fortunately the boss asked everyone to run first and get the fire extinguisher by himself. But why hasn't the boss come out yet, it's strange? ”

Just when everyone was talking, a person ran out of the burned ramen shop beyond recognition, it was the waitress who served me noodles before, and after she ran out, everyone immediately gathered around and asked her where the boss was? She didn't speak, she didn't make a sound, she just kept her head down, and she looked like she was frightened.

It's just that in my opinion, it's not like this, the average girl should cry when she encounters this kind of fire scene, and she must be panicked, and she may even be mentally abnormal and yell, but this girl is too calm, as if the soul on her body is gone, very wooden, she doesn't open her mouth when others ask her anything, very strange.

I frowned and kept looking at the girl, and after a few moments, the fire police arrived to inspect the scene and brought out a burned corpse from inside, judging by the dress and size, it should be the owner of this ramen shop!

"Ah, the boss is dead, how come?"

"It's so miserable, it's all too little to be human, it's terrible!"

The people around were frightened, and even a few gay men took a few steps back in fear, and a person who was just good was burned to this appearance in a blink of an eye, which made the people around him a little unacceptable.

The fire police and the police who rushed to the scene were responsible for recording confessions to the neighbors and clerks around us, and we all dispersed, but I didn't go far, but waited in a small alley in front of me.

After waiting for more than an hour, the police were all dispersed, the transcripts were all done, and the sky was dark, and I saw that at the end of the alley, the little girl had changed into ordinary clothes, walked forward with her head down, still the same as in the store, did not speak, did not even look at the road, but looked at the ground, and the hair on her head was also messy but did not know how to clean it up.

She walked through the mouth of the alley, I followed slowly, first I looked at her shadow, it was very light, there is a very general method, to see if a person's yang energy is sufficient, that is, to see if a person's shadow is very light.

This Xiaoru's shadow is very faint, and I can feel that the yang fire on her shoulder seems to be extinguished at any time, if a person's yang fire is extinguished, it is equivalent to no protection, and ghosts will naturally invade, which is a very dangerous signal.

Her home doesn't look far away, after a few rounds, into an old-fashioned community, and then into one of the buildings, up to the second floor, I didn't talk to her, but waited for her to enter the house, only to find that she entered the house and didn't turn on the light, but lit a candle, which made me even more strange, even if you are poor these years, can you afford to rent an apartment and still can't afford electricity? Besides, the cost of buying a candle is about the same as the cost of electricity for a light bulb.

This made me even more strange, after about an hour of watch, the candle went out, I was about to leave, suddenly there was a gust of wind blowing behind me, at this time there was only one street lamp in the old-fashioned community, the yin wind blew through the street lamp, the street lamp shook and shook, and soon went out, the yin wind blew through the treetops, flowers, and a low cry came from the wind, I turned around suddenly, but saw the yin wind into Xiaoru's house!

I had a bad heart, and immediately ran up to the second floor and knocked on the door of Xiaoru's house, but no one opened it for a long time, and in a hurry, I couldn't care about it so much, the flames sprayed, and the door lock was burned, and then rushed in, but I saw that the room was pitch black, and there was a faint ghostly atmosphere, I snorted coldly, and a few soul charms flew out, and the room suddenly lit up, but then a scream came from the room!

Xiao Ru's house is a one-bedroom living room, and there is only one bedroom, I immediately rushed into the room, and I happened to see a female ghost in red standing beside Xiao Ru, mouth-to-mouth giving her yin qi!

"Look for death!"

I screamed loudly, and was about to make a move, the female ghost in red had already noticed me at this time, and immediately rushed to the window, as soon as I made a move, where could she escape, the white light swept away, and the female ghost in red immediately cried out in pain, and Xiaoru also got up from the bed at this time, looked at us blankly, and then said with demented eyes: "Mother, you are here." ”

She actually called this female ghost mother in red!
