"So what's going on with you Bai Wuchang from Qufu?" He scooped up a spoonful of porridge with a spoon and ate two bites of pickles, looking at his short roommate who was sitting across the table.

Su Jiao ate pancakes. Hearing this, he shrunk his mouth: "What else can I do? That blacksmith is very average. Although he has been a ghost for decades, he is no better than my uncle. He, my uncle. , and the black and impermanent old pine tree spirit in Qufu, plus me, the four of them just caught the evil ghost that escaped from the underworld the day before yesterday, and now the blacksmith should be recovering, he was slightly injured when he came back from the underworld." After a pause, Su Jiao looked at the fat man Bai Wuchang who was standing by the side honestly: "Hey, didn't you come from the underworld too? There's a fight underneath, why are you okay?"

The fat man smiled embarrassedly, and was about to say that this kind of fight between the kings of hell has nothing to do with us little devils. Seeing Su Jiao nodding, he asked and answered, "Oh yes, you are also injured, your face is swollen."

Fatty: "..."

Lian Xi: "..."

The two of them looked at the culprit who made the fat man like this.

Caochen took a sip of porridge, noticed his sight, raised his eyebrows and said, "Look at me."

The fat man wants to cry without tears!

Who would have thought that the fight in the underworld turned upside down, and he hid well and was not injured; from the underworld to the overworld, across the gap between yin and yang, and through chaos, he was not injured. In the end, he came to the world... and was injured by a low-level ghost!

Su Jiao added fuel to the fire: "It hurts quite a bit of personality, but don't worry, you are already fat, and you won't be able to see it if you wait for it to become popular."

Fatty: "!"

It's a shame to be a ghost like this!

Lian Xi opened the takeout box of Xiao Long Bao, he thought for a moment, then raised his head: "Do you want to eat?"

Fatty was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand quickly, and said with an apologetic smile: "No need. Although the little one has a humble position, after all, he is the body of a ghost and a god, and he doesn't need to eat."

"Don't eat..." Lian Xi's eyes flickered: "Don't you need to sleep?"

Su Jiao interjected: "Isn't it the same with niggas, he doesn't eat, drink, drink, drink, and sleep. But then he slowly ate it too. Speaking of niggas, after you eat and drink, you don't stop eating. Go to the toilet, where did your food go?"

The minister glanced at him, hehe, I was too lazy to answer.

The fat man laughed and said, "Yes, my lord, you don't need to sleep for the little ones."

Lian Xi blurted out: "Then you can work 24 hours a day without rest?"

Fatty: "Huh?" Is there anything strange about this

Su Jiao was also stunned and did not respond, but the minister raised his head with his eyes lit up.

Um

Can you sleep 24 hours a day

Su Cheng black and white looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Lian Xi raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle and harmless smile. He very thoughtfully took out a xiao long bao from the takeaway box and handed it to the fat man. Fatty's face changed, and he always felt that the visitor was not good, and even Xi would not be courteous for nothing. But he wanted to refuse, and then looked at the minister in fear...

Fatty gritted his teeth, took the xiaolongbao, and began to blow the rainbow fart: "Thank you, sir, for being so kind to the little one, the little one will never forget it in this life!" He said, and bit down the xiaolongbao.

Lian Xi: "Eat slowly, don't worry. It's easy to do things when you're full."

Fatty shivered all over: "What, what's the matter?" Wasn't he going to send him on the road

Lian Xi smiled slightly: "Catch the ghost."

Yes, when I heard that Jiangnan Dao Bai Wuchang could not eat, drink, or sleep, the first thought that flashed in Lian Xi's mind—

Let this guy help you catch ghosts!

Before, Lian Xi and Gu Chen only went out to hunt ghosts in the early morning, for two reasons.

First, Lian Xi is just a mortal. Caochen can do it without sleep, but he can't, he wants to sleep. Since you can make up for sleep during the day, you can only catch ghosts at night.

Second, their impermanence evidence is inferior. Only one guiding golden light can be emitted each time, and most of the time this golden light is as thin as a hair. In the middle of the night, you need to watch carefully to see clearly. The sun was shining brightly during the day, and there was no golden light at all, let alone catching ghosts.

But now it's different.

It is known that the genuine ghost certificate of Bai Wuchang in Jiangnan Province can emit a hundred golden lights at one time, and there are many extremely thick golden lights inside, which can be seen clearly even in the daytime. I also know that Bai Wuchang in Jiangnan Province is a legal coolie who can work 24 hours a day without food and shelter...

Please, the correct way to use Jiangnan Dao Bai Wuchang.

After hearing that Lian Xi wanted to go out 24 hours to catch ghosts, Fatty was relieved.

That's it? That's it

Just catch a ghost

I thought it was going to cut me off!

The fat man responded repeatedly: "It is a small honor to serve the adults. The small can use his impermanence certificate to locate the position of the lonely ghost, and then use the adult's Sucheng impermanence certificate to collect performance. In this way , it can be regarded as the achievement of adults.”

Before Lian Xi and Gu Chen could speak, the fat man flattered: "Besides, my lord, in fact, in the thirty-five cities of Jiangnan Road, except for Wenzhou's performance, the performance of the other thirty-four cities, including your performance, sir. , you only get 30% of it."

The minister frowned: "Speak clearly."

"Yes!" Fatty explained, "For example, today you send a ghost to reincarnate, and you get 90 points. But in fact, the ghost's real performance is 300 points. You get 30% of it, 90 points; yes Forty percent, 120 points, are handed over to the underworld for confiscation; and 30 percent," Fatty scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "These 90 points are counted in our Jiangnan Road Black and White Impermanence. My colleague Hei impermanence, he has Half, I'll get half..."

Lian Xi reacted quickly, his eyes lit up: "You mean, the 1.5 percent of the points you got..."

Fatty didn't hesitate: "It's all yours!"

Good guy, in the blink of an eye, there is an extra coolie, and a large amount of performance!

Lian Xi asked again: "Wuxi Ghost's performance is 150% worse?"

Fatty: "Yours!"

The minister asked again: "Yancheng ghosts are bad?"

Fatty laughed: "It's all yours!"

Su Jiao was stunned: "Can you still play like this?"

The minister took out his black impermanence certificate from his pocket and handed it to Fatty. The fat man picked it up with both hands, with an earnest expression on his face. It seemed that he really couldn't wait to go out and catch ghosts, so he wanted to leave without even eating food for the sake of Lian Xi and Gu Chen.

"If you run away, do you know what will happen?"

Jiangnan Dao Bai Wuchang's chubby body suddenly stopped, he slowly turned his head, and looked at the man sitting at the dining table, eating xiaolongbao while staring coldly at him. In the dark and deep eyes, there is a chill that is more terrifying than the underworld, and the minister quietly raised the corners of his lips: "If you are in the world, we will catch you; if you escape back to the underworld..."

Kaoru chuckled softly, but said nothing.

But the fat man felt the chills all over his body stand up.

If he escapes back to the underworld... he might die even worse!

He made a trembling promise, swearing that he would never run away, and that he would work diligently as a tool for the two adults, and the fat man finally escaped and left this terrifying door.

The first moment he saw the sun again, Fatty was still in a trance.

He really wanted to run.

But when he remembered the terrible look in the man's eyes just now, the fat man shuddered.

"Forget it, I swear..."

He is definitely not because he is cowardly, he simply thinks it is unnecessary! It's just catching ghosts, it's his job, and it's his responsibility!

But then again, who is Sucheng Black and White Impermanence? A mortal, but born with magical tools. Is it Xuan Xiu? How can there be such a strong Xuanxiu. Most of the Xuanxiu in Fatty's impressions were at the level of Su Jiao, and there were few like Uncle Su Jiao and the old man with black teeth, but they didn't beat him so badly.

The black impermanence of Su City is even more terrifying. Inexplicably, the fat man felt that if he ran away in the world, it would be fine, but if he ran back to the underworld, he might really die even worse.

"The underworld is also in chaos now, why don't you just stay in the world. Working for the judge is also a part-time job, and working for these two ghosts is also a part-time job."

After thinking about it like this, Fatty suddenly figured it out, and he is no longer awkward. He can lick it again when he thinks about it.

On the other side, when Fatty left, Lian Xi took an old mobile phone for Fatty so that he could contact him at any time. After he left, Lian Xi asked his colleague curiously: "If he ran away in the world, we might have a chance to find him. But if he goes back to the underworld... what should we do?"

Mr. Ji calmly took a bite of the fried dough stick: "I don't know."

Lian Xi: "?"

"You looked like you had a way to catch him just now?"

The Ombudsman: "I said I have a solution?"

Lian Xi: "??"

Kaoru: "That's why I didn't say it."

Lian Xi: "..."

Does this work too? !

At the gate of the community, Jiangnan Dao Bai Wuchang's chubby face was full of solemnity. He diligently opened his Bai Wuchang certificate and used the guidance golden light.

Don't let the adults down, let's do a 10,000-point performance today!

With Fatty, a tool man who doesn't include food and housing, brings his own labor tools, and stays 24 hours a day.

Lian Xi and Ji Chen entered old age retirement life ahead of schedule.

You don't have to do anything every day, eat takeout, watch TV, sleep, and play games. Thinking of it in the morning, the two opened Lian Xi's Bai Wuchang certificate to take a look.

Oh, I earned another 15,000 performance points yesterday.

The minister sent Fatty a WeChat message: [200 points less than the day before yesterday.]

Fatty: "???" Listen, are these human words? !

No boss asks employees to perform better every day than the previous day! How can there be! Capitalists don't dare to oppress their employees like this, aren't they afraid of the French Revolution

Fatty was indignant and typed back the message—

[Hey, sir, you are awake. This is to blame for the ghosts of Shanghai City. They didn't know why yesterday, but their performance dropped by half compared to the past, and they gave less share to the small ones. The adults woke up so early and still remembered the little ones, who were really flattered. Sir, would you like something to eat? I happen to be hunting ghosts nearby. Do I need to buy you something to eat?]

[Kyoomi: I don't need to sleep.]

[Fatty: Yes, yes, it's a small memory error. You should take a shot because of the small memory. Sir, would you like something to eat?]

A few minutes passed.

[Gaochen: Are there any oranges?]

[Fatty: Yes, yes, I'll bring you some.]

But after a long time, when Lian Xi came out of the bedroom, he saw the fat man carrying a large bag of fruit into the house. Seeing Lian Xi, he greeted him warmly: "Sir, would you like to eat some fruit?"

Lian Xi nodded and walked over, not feeling that he was being licked at all.

Licking naturally, licking well, and licking things silently.

Eating the fruit, even Xi thought of one thing: "Why does Wenzhou's business grow so fast?"

Fatty immediately came over and said, "Wenzhou ghost messenger has my colleague's ghost messenger certificate after all, and the situation is similar to ours. Adults don't have to worry, I am stronger than him, he is just a kid with a big knife and doesn't know how to use it. The speed of catching ghosts is not as fast as me, I earn more than him every day, and I can throw him far away tomorrow."

Lian Xi snorted softly.

After the fat man delivered the fruit, he continued to go out to catch ghosts without stopping. Lian Xi wanted to say "Would you like to rest for a while", but the other party had already rushed out the door. The attitude towards work enthusiasm made even Xi begin to reflect on whether he and Jochen were being squeezed a little too much.

Lian Xi hesitantly poked his colleague's arm: "He catches a lot of ghosts every day."

Kaoru thought about it.

understood.

"But yesterday was 200 points less than the day before yesterday."

Lian Xi: "?"

Caochen lowered his head and sent a WeChat message to Fatty: [Take an extra 200 points today.]

Fatty replied in seconds: [Yes!]

Lian Xi: "..."

That was not what I meant!

The skyrocketing performance made Lian Xi feel strangely uneasy. After all, he has been staying at home for a week, and these achievements are not earned by him.

It's almost the end of the month, and it's the day when the monthly performance rankings are settled. Today's performance rankings for the current month are very different from when Lian Xi first saw it two months ago, I saw—

The first place, Sioux City Ghost Poor, has a performance of 163,211 points.

The second place, Wenzhou Ghost Poor, has a performance of 123,467 points.

The third place is Shanghai Ghost Poor, with a performance of 51,345 points.

I don't know if it's because the ghosts in Suzhou City played a good leading role. The ghosts in Wenzhou, the ghosts in Shanghai, and the thirty-five cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, the performance of all ghosts has doubled compared to the previous month.

For hundreds of years, the performance rankings of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai (Jiangnan Road) have not changed much. The first place in each month has a maximum of 40,000 or 50,000 points.

Now, even two months after Xi Gang became a ghost, the performance of all ghosts in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai has improved by leaps and bounds.

But it can't be his fault, Lian Xi thought to himself. This has nothing to do with his cheating. Wenzhou Ghost is a backdoor, so let's not talk about it. Look at the ghost in Shanghai, he can actually make 50,000 points. What does this mean? This shows that the ghosts of Shanghai City have always had this strength, but they were lazy before and refused to work hard. Now that I was stimulated by the person in front of me, it broke out.

So in a way...

"We also promoted the increase in the efficiency of the reincarnation of ghosts in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai."

Just as I was thinking, the phone suddenly rang.

Lian Xi said to his colleague, "Wait a minute to play the game, I'll answer a call." He picked up the phone, saw the numbers on the screen clearly, and frowned slightly.

Unfamiliar phone

Picking up the phone, walking to the balcony, Lian Xi said, "Hello."

A calm and low-pitched male voice came from the phone: "Is it Lian Xi?"

The voice was very unfamiliar, but also a little strangely familiar. Lian Xi nodded lightly: "Well, yes. Are you?"

"I'm Wu Fang." After a pause, the other party said in a serious tone, "Do you still remember me? I'm the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Detachment of the Sucheng Public Security Bureau."

A wily middle-aged male face flashed in his mind, and he was stunned. Soon he became vigilant and said with a smile, "Deputy Wu, of course I remember you."

Deputy Team Wu: "You left our detachment contact information before, so I found you."

"What's the matter with you?"

After a long silence on the phone, Deputy Team Wu finally said: "There is indeed something I want to ask for your help. Don't ask me first, just listen to me. I don't know if I'm looking for you, but Sun Yan's The case, you should have read the news, it has been solved. The old man has been arrested and will be sentenced early next year. The death penalty should be no problem. After that incident, I have always had a lump in my heart. I have been doing it for decades. Detective, I think this matter has something to do with you."

Lian Xi clenched the phone tightly.

"Don't talk for now, I'll continue. It's not just about this. Before that, there was a man named Xu Lang. You should know him, remember?"

Lian Xi was silent: "Remember."

Wu Fang smiled bitterly and said, "I have always kept that incident in my mind. I have never believed in those messy things since I was a child, but this time, an old friend's daughter had an accident. I went to see it last night and saw After that, I just don't believe it anymore, and I also start to doubt the world. I thought about it all day and night, and finally I called you this phone."

Neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Deputy Team Wu asked in a hoarse voice, "Lian Xi, can you help me with this?"

Lian Xi's expression was calm, he looked far away and looked at the windowsill of the opposite building. "You talk first."

Is this willing to help? Deputy Team Wu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "That's right, that's a daughter of a lifetime friend of mine, her father is the deputy director of our bureau, and she's a very nice little girl that I grew up with. She's always been very disciplined, and she's a classmate with you. She got pregnant three months ago, and she's getting married. She was supposed to get married this week, but she had a sudden miscarriage last week."

Lian Xi: "The child is gone?"

Deputy Team Wu smiled bitterly: "It's a trivial matter if the child is gone, and it's good! The child is still there. But the problem is, after she was discharged from the hospital last week and went home to recuperate, she started to have a ghost on her body. Every night, she had nightmares, sleepwalking, and said Some very scary words, very scary. She is getting thinner every day, living in fear every day, and she says she can hear voices in her ears!"

Lian Xi frowned: "It's just nightmares, talking in sleep, and sleepwalking?"

Deputy Team Wu: "Yes."

Lian Xi: "Could it be prenatal depression? As for hearing voices, is it auditory hallucinations?"

Deputy Team Wu: "Have you ever seen anyone sleepwalking with their eyes open?"

Lian Xi corrected him: "Actually, Deputy Team Wu, most people sleepwalk with their eyes open."

Deputy Team Wu was speechless. Seeing that Lian Xi didn't seem to think that there was anything strange about this matter, Deputy Team Wu hurriedly said: "If you have seen it with your own eyes, you will know that it is really different. That's not Xiaoqian, I I have known Xiaoqian for more than 20 years, and I have watched her grow up. When she 'sleepwalking' at night, that person is really not her, can I not know?"

Lian Xi hesitated.

Deputy Team Wu is sharp and intelligent, with an extremely sharp sense of smell for criminal investigation. If not, he wouldn't be calling himself now.

But the problem is, if you really deal with such a person, you may not be able to hide Xi's every move.

Do you need help

Deputy Team Wu said sadly: "The girl refused to tell her parents that her parents were only for her good. If they knew that this child had tortured her like that, they would definitely take her to see a doctor, and maybe even take her to the doctor. Just have an abortion, don't want that child. She still wants to keep this child, her fiance is about to lose her job for this matter, and she is with her at home every day. Lian Xi, you and their husband and wife are both alumni, you Just help them."

Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, and Lian Xi asked solemnly, "You said just now that both of them are from Sioux City University?"

Deputy Team Wu: "Yes."

The daughter of the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, who was scheduled to get married this week, is already pregnant...

Lian Xi hurriedly asked, "Do you know the name of her fiancé?"

Deputy Team Wu: "My name is Xiao Chen, Chen Kai!"

Lian Xi tightened his fingers. He glanced at the gradually sinking sunset outside the window, and said in a fast tone, "Where are you and where they live, I'll be there right away. Forget it, I'll call Chen Kai directly, and I'll contact him."

Deputy Team Wu was stunned: "Do you know Chen Kai?"

Lian Xi: "Yes, can you wait for me at their house? I'll be there soon."

Without further ado, Lian Xi called Chen Kai directly. At the same time, he also sent a message to the fat man who just left.

When it comes to your friends, you must not be sloppy. He and the minister are only half-assed, and Su Jiao is unreliable. At this time, it is time for Fatty to play his real role.
