Hanging up the phone, Mingxian stopped a taxi, went to another area, and changed to the subway, and finally came to an abandoned factory in the suburbs.
It is at least a two-hour drive away from the city center. Many people who have just arrived in Shencheng may find it difficult to imagine that the prosperous international city in their impressions will have such a desolate place.
Mingxian walked to the tin hut next to the factory building, raised his hand and clapped a few times.
The door opened quickly, and a voice of dissatisfaction came from the darkness.
"Don't shoot so loud, I can hear it!"
The voice is not old, even very young, but gloomy like a dark cloud cover in June, and a violent storm is about to come at any time.
However, Mingxian was indifferent to this, he followed the other party into the dim room, glanced briefly, and had a panoramic view of the harsh environment.
"Why not change to a better place?" He didn't think the other party would be short of this money.
The man said sadly: "Do you think I don't want to, but I practice soul refining, and the movement is too loud. There are many women in the old city. If there is any disturbance, they can make them run to the police, so as not to miss the important matter of Mr. Otowa, I can only move here. Stop talking nonsense, what the hell are you doing?"
"It's just for your soul training." Mingxian said lightly, "I don't care how many people you want to kill, but you were almost discovered at the animation festival last time, and now you are starting at Wangyuehu, Do you know that these two places are the targets of the Special Administration Bureau? They have already suspected me."
The man laughed: "Isn't that good, you are responsible for diverting the target, I will do the trick."
Mingxian still looked indifferent: "I won't help you clean up the mess, you have to do it elsewhere."
The man categorically refused: "Impossible! Shencheng has a large population and great vitality, just where the ley lines flow, and the killer I have prepared for a long time, now only two lives are needed, the seal can be broken, and then Mr. Li Yinyu's goal will be again. Going a step further, since you know that the Special Administration Bureau is eyeing us, you should come forward and help me away!"
Mingxian: "Do you think the people in the Special Administration Bureau are fools, they will find out about you sooner or later."
The man raised his eyes and stared at him, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was covered with blue veins, which was especially terrifying.
"You just need to help me through this period of time, and when the seal is broken, we can walk away!"
Mingxian: "I can't guarantee this."
The man sneered: "Mingxian, don't forget who your master is, don't forget who made you become a man from a piano, if you don't cooperate, you will end up ruining Mr. Otowa's event, and you can afford the consequences. !"
Mingxian was cold and indifferent and refused to give in an inch: "My master is Mr. Otoyu, not you. It's not up to you to decide what the consequences will be. You just need to do your own thing well."
The man was furious, and he grabbed the evocation flag and drew it directly towards him. Mingxian stepped back, and the silk thread shot out of his hand, firmly entangling the opponent's hand. With a little force, the man screamed and was pushed forward involuntarily. Drag, stumble and fall to the ground.
Mingxian didn't have any interest in battling scumbags, so he just said, "Be your lackey and don't make trouble with me."
"yes?"
The man's voice suddenly changed a tune, with a faint reverberation, and wisps of black air rose behind him, gradually forming a blurry shadow.
Mingxian frowned slightly.
"Mingxian, Otoyu Mingxian." The young voice gradually became old, and Mingxian was startled by the familiar tone.
"Otowa... sir? What about you?"
The man's mouth opened and closed, his eyes were blank, like a puppet.
"He has a wisp of my devilish energy on him, and I can use him to supervise the progress of the incident.
Mingxian lowered his eyes and covered his emotions: "So it is."
The man smiled gloomily: "Destruction of the stele is very important to us. Although Longshen and the others tried their best to stop it, the fate of the fact is not transferred by anyone's will. Lord Demon Lord is destined to resurrect and rise again, and the gate of hell will open. The day is when the world returns to the abyss. Mingxian, my dear child, Shencheng is very important, no matter what he wants to do, you must cooperate, understand?"
Mingxian was silent for a moment: "I understand."
"I believe you can do it, don't let me down."
After saying this, the black air was suddenly retracted into the body, the man's body softened, he knelt on the ground and coughed violently, even choking his nose and tears.
Mingxian stared coldly at the embarrassed appearance of the other party, and was not interested in stepping forward to help.
Seeing this, the man held a grudge in his heart, but the hero did not suffer the immediate loss, he said grimly: "Now it is clear, I have Mr. Otowa's demonic energy, you better not fight against me!"
Mingxian looked at him with his hands behind his back, condescending, just like looking at a vicious dog that barked but had no ability to fight back.
"Then you're just a microphone for Mr. Otowa. Give full play to your own value, so as not to be abandoned when you are useless."
"You!" The man was furious, but he didn't dare to do it again, he knew that he was not Mingxian's opponent. "I heard that you still have a part of the Chinese soul in you. When Mr. Otoyu promoted your transformation, he incorporated a person named Dong Jilan into your body, so are you still thinking about it? Is there a chance to take refuge in the Special Administration Bureau?"
Mingxian didn't have any interest in bickering with him, so he turned and left.
The man sneered behind him.
"I advise you to stop being delusional. You have Chinese blood on your hands, and the Special Administrative Agency will not want you! Mr. Otowa's order, you better remember that there are still two lives left, and I will soon. You can do it!"
Mingxian's footsteps didn't stop for a minute.
…
On the winter solstice, the progress on their side was not smooth.
The boy named Jiang Lang had stopped breathing when he was sent to the hospital. Under the strong request of his parents, the medical staff still tried their best to rescue him, but the rescue was ineffective. The boy was sent to the morgue, and Dongzhi and Liu Qingbo rushed over. , intervened in the investigation in an official capacity, but the two stayed in the hospital for an hour, but could not find any traces of murder from the body.
In other words, the other party did indeed die by drowning.
The result was a bit disappointing for the two, but they soon received news from the police that Jiang Lang's parents, because of excessive sadness, angered the girl who was unsuccessful in Jiang Lang's confession. The two sides are now arguing on campus. They had nothing to do with the Winter Solstice, but the two hoped to find more clues in the school, so they rushed over again.
For the other party, An An, this is a completely innocent disaster.
She had never been in a relationship with Jiang Lang, but she rejected the other party's liking. Who would have thought that Jiang Lang could not bear it and jumped into the lake to commit suicide. No one is more wronged than Fang Anan.
But there is no reason to tell the parents who lost their only child. They ran directly to Fang An'an's dormitory, found Fang An'an who was hiding in the dormitory and didn't come out, and yelled at her. Jiang Lang's mother even moved her hands and took a young boy The second little girl was so frightened that her face turned pale, and the teachers hurried over again. The scene was really messed up.
When the winter solstice and Liu Qingbo passed by, Jiang Lang's parents had been taken away by the school security. Fang Anan cried silently in the dormitory, her roommates and classmates were comforting by the side, the dormitory administrator brought them in with the winter solstice, and a group of little girls watched. In the presence of two strange men, the originally panicked expression became even more uneasy.
"Hello, classmates, we are the police. I want to come and ask Fang An'an a few words. Could you please go out for a while? Just a few minutes."
Seeing the fear on Fang An'an's face, the dormitory teacher hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, the teacher is here too."
Dongzhi bent over to look at Fang An'an, and said warmly, "Don't be afraid. I heard from your teacher about the beating of Jiang Lang's parents. If you get back the surveillance, I can help you get justice."
Perhaps it was his approachable tone, or his gentle and harmless appearance, which made Fang Anan gradually let go of his defenses.
After the roommate went out, Fang Anan, accompanied by the teacher, explained the ins and outs of last night.
The matter is very simple. Jiang Lang called her to the lake, confessed, and was rejected. She left quickly and didn't stay long at all, and it was too dark at that time, and Fang Anan didn't even see Jiang Lang's expression clearly.
Mochizuki Lake has surveillance, but the trouble is that the place where they were that night happened to be a dead spot for surveillance.
Dongzhi and Liu Qingbo could not hear any clues from Fang An'an's words, because Jiang Lang's death happened after she left, and Fang An'an did not witness the scene at all.
After comforting the little girl, they got up and left the girls' dormitory on the winter solstice.
Passing by one of the dormitories on the same floor, a little girl suddenly stuck her head out of the door and asked timidly, "Excuse me, are you the police?"
The winter solstice turned around and smiled at her: "Yes, is there something wrong?"
The fat girl looked left and right, took another step forward, and lowered her voice: "Do you believe there are demons in this world?"
If it was someone else, he would definitely think that the other party was joking, turn his head and leave, but after the winter solstice, he nodded: "I believe it."
Yin Xiangxue was excited, she thought she would be scolded, but she didn't expect the other party to actually believe.
"I-I saw how Jiang Lang died!"
The winter solstice's expression became serious: "Did you really see it?"
Yin Xiangxue: "Yes, I saw Jiang Lang going to the lake at that time. I was curious, so I followed him. I didn't expect him to make an appointment with Fang Anan. Later, when Fang Anan left, I saw..."
Recalling what she saw that night, she still couldn't help shivering, and she couldn't spit it out.
"Don't be nervous." The winter solstice patted her shoulder, seemingly to encourage her, but in fact, she inadvertently flicked her hand to raise the yang fire on her shoulder with step-by-step qi.
Each person is born with yang fire on the top of his head and shoulders, which can exorcise evil and retreat yin.
Yin Xiangxue didn't know why, but she felt that her body was much warmer, and her courage was suddenly raised, and she finished speaking in one go.
"Then I saw Jiang Lang standing there muttering to himself, not knowing who he was talking to. He seemed to have questions and answers, talking and laughing. I was so scared that I didn't dare to run over to look, but Jiang Lang climbed up by himself. The stones by the lake, and then slowly went into the water, and drowned herself..." She swallowed, "drowned."
Winter Solstice and Liu Qingbo looked at each other, both of them remained calm, Liu Qingbo said, "Then did you see anything strange?"
Yin Xiangxue thought for a while, and suddenly said, "That's right! I also saw a black thing floating in the water, I don't know what it was, and Jiang Lang stretched out his hand to pull it, as if he was calling Fang An'an's name. !"
This matter is too strange, Yin Xiangxue dare not tell anyone, for fear that others will think that she made up or that she pushed Jiang Lang into the water. They came to ask Fang An'an, and when they heard that they were police officers, they couldn't help but stop them.
Just then, the phone rang.
The winter solstice picks up: "Tang Bureau?"
Tang Jing didn't have any extra greetings, and asked directly, "Where are you now?"
Winter Solstice looked up and said, "The second floor of the girls' dormitory in the junior high school of Yasheng Middle School."
Tang Jing said: "Just right, you are going to the high school now. I want you to check someone. His name is Ming Xian. If there is no accident, he should be the Chinese teacher of the high school of Yasheng Middle School."
Dongzhi keenly understood the meaning of his words: "What is Ruwu accident? Is his identity fake?"
Tang Jing said indifferently: "I hope not, but my hope may be in vain. I suspect that this person has something to do with the recent anime diet soul beast, and the case of Yasheng Middle School's student accident. After you meet him, be sure to He brought it back to the bureau for questioning."
The winter solstice agreed, and there seemed to be someone talking on the other end of the phone, and the voice was quite familiar, so I didn't rush to hang up.
"Officer Tang, your side..."
Then Tang Jing said in a casual tone: "Oh, by the way, your master is here too."
winter solstice:? ? !
At that moment, the hairs all over his body almost exploded, and even his expression became extremely strange.
Liu Qingbo didn't know what Tang Jing said. Seeing him like this, he even made a gesture to ask.
Winter Solstice really didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, so he waved his hand at him, indicating that it was all right.
He couldn't help but touched his heart, beating a little faster, for fear that his voice would become trembling, he could only use a few seconds to calm himself down quickly.
Tang Jing hello twice, and said to Long Shen on his end, "This child hung up the phone without saying a word."
Then he also cut off the call.
The winter solstice has done a good job in psychological construction, and was about to answer, when I heard the busy sound coming from there, I was dumbfounded.
Liu Qingbo urged impatiently, "What did he say?"
The winter solstice settled down, put away the phone, and decided to get down to business first.
The two went to the high school department, found the person in charge of the personnel department, and asked this person named Mingxian.
The person in charge said: "Mr. Ming is our new teacher this semester, but there seems to be something wrong with his family, saying that he wants to resign, and the resignation report has been handed in. Today, on the school anniversary, he was saying goodbye to his classmates on the playground just now. Woolen cloth."
Winter Solstice said strangely: "This semester has just come, and you are about to resign?"
The person in charge smiled bitterly: "Yeah, I'm surprised too, but you can't stop him if he wants to leave! If you guys want to find him, go to the playground now, and maybe you can still see him."
Winter Solstice: "Do you have any photos?"
The person in charge said yes, find out the high school teacher's personnel file, turn to one of the pages, and present it to them.
"It's this one."
Liu Qingbo glanced at it and felt that it was inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and said casually, "You recruit such a good-looking teacher, aren't you afraid that female students will delay their studies?"
The person in charge laughed: "Don't tell me, this teacher has become the most popular male teacher in our school not long after he arrived. It turns out that those who are sloppy in the school have all stood aside. Listen to the teacher's teaching. The level is quite good, and the principal feels regretful when he leaves!"
The winter solstice didn't say a word, suddenly turned his head and ran out, Liu Qingbo was inexplicable and hurriedly followed.
"What’s wrong with you!"
Dongzhi said with a sullen face: "I have seen this person in Liang Qiqi's tomb, and he is a group with Fujikawa Aoi!"
Liu Qingbo frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Is that the one who escaped after being injured by you?"
Winter Solstice: "Yes!"
The last time I was under the Helan Mountain, next to the altar. At that time, I didn't know Mingxian's name on the Winter Solstice. I just thought that this man was beautiful and his behavior was very strange. He obviously had the opportunity to kill himself, but he didn't do it. Fujikawa Aoi went with him, and finally wanted to destroy the stone tablet, which was obviously not a good thing. But at that time, other people were busy dealing with Fujikawa and the demons, like Liu Qingbo, so they didn't have time to pay attention to Mingxian's appearance.
After returning from Yinchuan, Dongzhi drew a portrait of Mingxian based on his memory, but it is strange that with his good memory, when he recalled the appearance of Mingxian, he always felt vague, so that the person who drew it naturally also There is some gap with the real Mingxian. In the end, the General Administration conducted a comparison and online search based on his portrait.
Who would have thought that, after stepping through the iron shoes, there would be nowhere to find Mingxian in a middle school in Shencheng during the winter solstice.
Does the other party want to hide in the world, or like Yamamoto Kiyoshi, who thinks that there are many people in Shencheng, and it is more convenient to hide
While they were talking, the two had already arrived at the playground. The school celebration here was coming to an end. People were in groups of three and five, chatting and laughing. Strings are not in it.
The two of them went upstream in the crowd, their eyes swept across the faces, and later they had a faint cognitive discrimination disorder, confusing the faces of men and women, dazzling and dizzy.
On the winter solstice, I finally found a student who helped maintain order and asked him if he had seen Mingxian in Class One and Three, even if it was a student in their class.
Who knew that the student pointed somewhere and said, "Mr. Ming is there, I came from there just now!"
Winter Solstice: "Take me there, I'm in a hurry to find him!"
"Success!" The student happily agreed, leading the winter solstice to swim left and right in the crowd, and finally found the large army.
He glanced left and right, grabbed his classmate and asked, "Where's Teacher Ming?"
The classmate said: "Mr. Ming went to the back of the school and said that he wanted to go there and take some pictures as a souvenir."
Winter Solstice's heart sank. He felt that with Mingxian's ability, it was impossible for him to have not found himself being followed. The only possibility was that he already knew about it and deliberately led them there.
But even though he knew it was likely to be a trap, he had to get past it.
Winter Solstice took out his mobile phone and looked for Liu Qingbo.
"Lao Liu, don't look for him. I know where he is. Come and gather first."
Yasheng Middle School is located in the suburbs, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Just like Mochizuki Lake is a man-made lake, the altitude of Mount Hosta is not high, and it didn’t even have a name. The locals call it Bald Tail Mountain. , I think Bald Tail Mountain is too unpleasant to listen to. When people hear it, they feel that it is too unstyled and they are unwilling to come, so it is changed to Hosta Mountain. After the name is changed, it suddenly becomes much more elegant.
But this mountain is not very big. It is small, but it is exquisite and unique. Usually spring and autumn come and go. The school teacher occasionally brings students to do outdoor activities, and they often come to the hostel mountain. During the winter solstice, Liu Qingbo and the others are on a fast footpath and follow the middle of the mountain. Guide all the way up, and soon came to the middle of the mountain.
In the winter now, no one climbs the mountain. When the winter solstice saw the figure in the pavilion halfway up the mountain, he subconsciously stopped.
"Mingxian?!"
The other party was unhurried, as if he had expected it, and turned around and smiled at them.
Sure enough, it was him, Dongzhi's heart sank, and he clenched the long guard sword in his hand.
"We met again." Mingxian obviously remembered him. "Sorry about what happened last time, I didn't mean to kill you."
The other party talked like an old friend, relaxed and natural, but it seemed that the Winter Solstice and Liu Qingbo were too nervous.
But the winter solstice still did not let down its vigilance. "We have our own positions, so we can't say sorry, but this time, are you alone?"
"I know what you want to ask."
Mingxian smiled slightly, took out a black gadget from his pocket, and threw it to the winter solstice.
I was a little cautious when I received the winter solstice.
"Tracker." Mingxian solved his doubts.
Winter Solstice: "Whose?"
Mingxian: "Tang Jing is yours, right? He put it on me, you can ask him to find out. But this time, you have found the wrong person. It is not me who created the soul-eating beast, and the one who killed Jiang Lang. Not me either."
Liu Qingbo snorted coldly: "Whether it is or not, you must go back with us first to assist in the investigation!"
He didn't like the person in front of him at all. He threw the explosives into the altar last time. If it wasn't for his quick reaction in the end, they would have been sleeping in the ground with the stone tablet now, how could they still come here to arrest people
Mingxian shook his head and jumped up abruptly, but instead of running down the mountain, he turned to the outside of the pavilion, that is, jumped off the cliff.
It was too late, but it was too soon. The winter solstice, who had already been staring at his every move, also flew out, chasing closely behind the other party, and jumped to the cliff outside the pavilion.
Liu Qingbo: What the hell? ! Jump as you say, even if it's only a few dozen meters high, there's a cliff behind it!
He was bewildered.
