He thought that Fu Bin would bring a large army and overturn the ghost's nest in one fell swoop, but he said: "When the people are called, you may have been buried by the other party." In order to come to rescue us as soon as possible, he even shot I didn't bring it with me, I just picked up a dagger and rushed over in a hurry.

Although when he was climbing the camphor tree just now, he had determined that the gunman was no longer ambushing on the balcony on the second floor, but God knows if anyone is still in the house. In addition, there are three of us, but only one gun, and there are not many bullets left, so we must be very careful.

Under the cover of Xueqing, Fu Bin quickly approached the house with vigorous steps, and peeked at the inside from the window. After observing for a while, he moved to the door and gestured to Xueqing a few times, signaling to break in.

Xueqing rushed forward swiftly, leaning against the wall beside the gate to be on guard. Fu Bin winked at her, she nodded lightly, then turned around and fired two shots at the door lock. While the gunshots were still ringing in his ears, Fu Bin kicked his foot towards the door.

When the door opened, it was pitch black and silent.

Fu Bin first used the light beam of the flashlight to confirm the situation in the room, then swiftly dodged inside, turned on the light switch, and the entire hall immediately lit up.

After he and Xueqing confirmed that there was no one in the house, I went in and searched with them. Although it has been confirmed that Liang Caixia and Wang Da are directly related to the ghost of the mirror, Wu Wei can't get rid of the relationship, but it is difficult to say who is the mastermind. So, we searched every corner of the house separately, hoping to find key clues.

I rummaged through the boxes in the kitchen, and finally found two boxes of "ice cubes" in the refrigerator. The shapes resembled air gun bullets. I think they were the dry ice bullets and alcohol mixture bullets that Fu Bin mentioned.

When she walked out of the kitchen, Xueqing was walking down the stairs with a large suitcase in her arms. I glanced casually into the box, and although it was only a glance, I almost didn't cry out, because I saw the "ghost of the mirror" in the box.

The contents of the box were searched by Xueqing on the second floor and found, including a complete air gun, a bunch of air gun parts, small household appliances that had been dismantled into pieces, and other messy household items, as well as "ghosts with hidden mirrors". 's real body!

It turned out that the legendary Mirror-Hidden Ghost was just a translucent human-shaped plastic plate. The plastic plate is only for the upper body, and the proportion is about half of an adult. The hair was made of fishing line, and the blood-red eyes were originally two crystal red glass beads. As for the hideous face, it was just drawn with paint. A red cheongsam made of translucent silk is covered with a plastic plate. Both arms and head have movable joints, and the mouth can be opened and closed. It feels like a work of art.

In addition to the ghost in the mirror, Xueqing also found another seemingly plastic plate, but this one was completely different from the former. It was a cute little human-shaped sheep that looked a lot like the protagonist of a children's cartoon.

I remember Cai Heng mentioned that Shaomeng liked watching this cartoon very much, and he talked to someone in the back hall the night of the accident. I think Shaomeng was talking to the image projected by this plastic plate, and was led by Liang Caixia to the street.

To confirm this speculation, Xueqing and I took the plastic board into the kitchen, turned off the light, and with her help, used the light of the flashlight to project the image of the plastic board onto the window. Although our operation is not proficient, we can finally make the legendary ghost in the mirror and the cute little sheep appear on the window.

Afterwards, we returned to the hall together and found Fu Bin staring at the picture frame hanging on the wall in a daze. I have also paid attention to this photo frame before, but I did not find anything unusual. The dozens of photos inserted on the edge of the photo frame only recorded Wu Wei's growth experience and did not seem to be directly related to this case.

However, Fu Bin didn't think so. He pointed to one of the photos and said to me, "Look at this one carefully." He was referring to the photo taken by Wu Wei, a teenage year old, holding a certificate of honor, because The fonts on the certificate are rather vague, and only the words "Qi", "Strike" and "Champion" can be seen.

I didn't care about this photo before because I didn't know about the "Ghost Claw" of Zangjing Ghost, but only fired dry ice bullets with a high-pressure air gun. At this time, after Fu Bin's suggestion, I immediately thought that when Wu Wei took this photo, he should be holding the "Air Gun Shooting Champion" certificate.

"Although I also think that Wu Wei is probably the shooter of the Ghost in the Mirror, the certificate of merit in the photo is rather vague, making it unconvincing as evidence." I frowned.

He pointed to a young man in black pants on the edge of the photo, and said with a smile, "Look here again."

The teenager stood on the right side of the podium with a certificate in his hand, which should be one of the winners. On the surface, there is nothing unusual about him, but if you look closely, you can see that there is a black iron rod next to his right leg.

"It's the barrel of an air gun, he's holding an air gun." Xue Qing's indifferent voice came from behind. Her eyesight is really good, and she can still see the tiny gun barrel in the photo clearly behind me.

I shrugged and said, "You guys really match up!"

"It's just that the heroes see the same thing." Fu Bin laughed at me, but his eyes were peeking at Xueqing. The latter didn't respond, as if he didn't hear him.

Afterwards, Xueqing continued to search the house, while Fu Bin and I discussed the identity of the Mirror Ghosts members. What is certain now is that Wu Wei and his wife are the gunman and the manipulator of the hidden mirror ghost respectively. As for Wang Da, although it is certain that he is directly related to the ghost of the hidden mirror, it is difficult to determine whether he is the leader or the chess piece of Wu Wei and his wife.

I thought Wang Da was the leader. The reason was that Mr. Lu had set his mobile phone as an extremely important anti-cracking software receiving number. Fu Bin's thoughts were the opposite of mine, thinking that he was just a subordinate of Wu Wei and his wife, with a status similar to that of Teacher Lu, and a pawn that could only be sacrificed at any time.

"Since Mr. Lu has set the receiving number as Wang Da's mobile phone, why has he never called the other party?" He explained to himself: "There are two possibilities. The first possibility is, although I know that there are other The existence of a member, but Mr. Lu did not know that the other party was Wang Da, and the setting of the receiving number was just an instruction from Wu Wei and his wife; the second possibility is that although Mr. Lu knew about the existence of Wang Da, the two had a bad relationship. To protect yourself, it is understandable to set the other party’s mobile phone number in this sensitive position. Because once your identity is revealed, the other party will not feel better.”

I don't agree with his assumption, because there is no evidence that the two have ever had bad relations, and according to the recording of the call, it has been confirmed that Teacher Lu is dissatisfied with the ghost. Therefore, when it comes to setting the receiving number, which is difficult for the other party to verify, Mr. Lu does not need to follow the other party's instructions. Moreover, if Teacher Lu wants to protect himself, he should set the receiving number to the mobile phone of Wu Wei and his wife, not Wang Da.

"There's no need for that." Fu Bin shook his index finger lightly, "On the basis of the call records on the mobile phone, we can find out that Liang Caixia is the ghost who is talking with Teacher Lu. But Wang Da is different. Not only did he not talk to Lu. The teacher is talking on the phone, and he is still using a registered mobile phone card, if Teacher Lu didn't mean to harm him, how could he be exposed to our sight so easily?"

There is some truth to his reasoning.

If Wang Da is just a pawn, then the real mastermind is Wu Wei and his wife. However, why did this ordinary couple kill innocent children so brutally one after another? While thinking about this question, my eyes inadvertently fell on the photo of Wu Wei holding his newborn son.

Wu Wei and his wife once mentioned that their son died of kidney failure due to eating the problem milk powder. Are they taking revenge on society for this? So the purpose of their sacrifice to the evil gods, shouldn't it be to hurt more innocent citizens

I told Fu Bin what I was thinking, and he thought it was very possible. To avoid more and more serious consequences, we must prevent them from performing rituals. However, if you want to stop them, you must first know where they hold the ceremony.

Just as we were frowning at this, Xueqing, who had been walking around the house, showed us a bunch of keys: "I think they should be in the vegetable market."

"Why?" I asked.

She shook the key in her hand and said indifferently, "I searched the whole house and found only this set of keys. I tried it just now, and every key in this set of keys can be found in this house. The corresponding door lock."

"So what?" I didn't respond for a while.

"Wu Wei and his wife took the key to the frozen meat shop." Fu Bin said with alarm.

I suddenly realized, and immediately understood what Xueqing meant. When Wu Wei and his wife fled in a hurry, they didn't even have time to take away the key to their residence, but instead took the key of the frozen meat shop, which means they wanted to go to the frozen meat shop.

However, what do they go to the frozen meat shop for? It's their shop, and even if we don't investigate there tonight, we'll go over there tomorrow and turn it upside down. It's definitely not a safe place to hide. Could it be that they hid something important in the store

Whether this assumption is correct or not, it is also necessary for us to take a trip to the frozen meat store, after all, this is the only clue at present.

In order to find Wu Wei and others as soon as possible, we did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately set off for the vegetable market. However, as soon as we got outside the door, we heard a burst of singing.

This burst of singing seemed familiar, and after a little thought, he remembered the ringtone of Wang Da's mobile phone, which was exactly this song. Xueqing's ears are more sensitive, and after searching for a while, she finds the mobile phone covered with dust. The phone was obviously dropped by Wang Da, but it was covered with dust from Fu Bin just now, so we never noticed it.

Although Xueqing found her phone before the ringtone disappeared, she didn't have time to answer it. But even if we could find the phone earlier, we might not be able to answer the call. Because this phone needs to be unlocked with a fingerprint, without fingerprint verification, it can't do something as simple as connecting and listening to the phone, and of course it can't use other functions.

Wang Da is also very careful. It seems that he can only take his mobile phone back and let Viagra crack it. But now looking for Viagra, it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. By the time we got back, I'm afraid the sacrificial ceremony had already ended. Therefore, we had to put this matter aside for the time being and go to the frozen meat shop before making plans.

The vegetable market in the countryside is like a deserted temple after dark, quiet and mysterious.

The entire vegetable market was lit up in darkness, almost invisible, and there were a lot of rubbish such as peels and vegetable leaves on the slippery ground, which could fall over if you were not careful. What's worse, Fu Bin didn't let me use the flashlight in order to avoid scare the snake. So, I had to hold on to the wall and walk slowly behind them.

If Wu Wei and the others ambushed us here, just get some night vision equipment and they can catch us all. Fortunately, they don't seem to have thought of this.

When we came to the frozen meat shop run by Wu Wei and his wife, we found that the rolling shutter door was not locked, not even pulled to the end, leaving a half-meter-high gap at the bottom. Looking at the half-open rolling gate, I couldn't help but worry that the other party might ambush us in the store. But Fu Bin was not as timid as I was. After making a few gestures to Xueqing, he fell to the ground and rolled into the store.

After he rolled into the frozen meat shop, there was no movement at all, and the expected fierce fight did not seem to happen. When I thought he had been quietly killed by the other party, the lights in the store suddenly turned on, and the roller shutters also rose.

"We're late." Fu Bin shrugged behind the gate.

Although the store was empty, I was relieved, but then I frowned again—where are Wu Wei and the others going? The only way to know the answer is to look for clues in this slightly crowded frozen meat shop.

The frozen meat shop is about 40 square meters, divided into two parts, the front half is the storefront, and the second half is the cold storage. In addition to a simple cashier desk and three tables, there are more than a dozen old foam boxes in the storefront. Some of the foam boxes were neatly stacked on the right side of the cold storage door, while the foam boxes that should have been stacked on the left were scattered on the ground.

Xueqing and I opened all the foam boxes to check and found that the boxes were all empty. Fu Bin used a dagger to pry open the drawer of the cashier desk to check, and found nothing in particular except for some documents and a small amount of change. Judging from the superficial signs, Wu Wei and others should not have stayed in the store too much. The things they need are likely to be in the cold storage, and the foam boxes scattered on the ground are proof that they entered and exited the cold storage.

There is no clue on the storefront. To know the location of the sacrificial ceremony, you can only try your luck in the cold storage. Although there is no door lock at the entrance of the cold storage, it will automatically close. If we all went into the cold storage to investigate, someone outside the door would just have to bolt the door with a stick and we could be wiped out. In order to prevent Wu Wei and the others from killing the carbine, I asked Xueqing to wait at the store and entered the cold storage with Fu Bin to investigate.

The temperature in the cold room is very low, at least below freezing, as evidenced by the thick frost on the walls. I sneezed three times in a row, but Fu Bin didn't feel anything different, as if he didn't feel cold at all. However, he soon found out that investigating here is not a good job, because the cold storage is only about two meters high, which is quite inconvenient for a tall man like him. electric light.

"Wu Wei and his wife are not tall, right? It's a waste of space to cover the cold storage so low." Fu Bin lowered his head and looked through the boxes on the shelf in a depressing manner.

A set of refrigeration equipment is placed behind the cold storage, there are shelves on the left and right walls, and a dozen foam boxes are stacked on the ground. Whether it's a shelf or a foam box, it's full of frozen foods like chilled chicken wings and cuttlefish balls. The entire cold storage is such a small space as big as a palm, and it didn't take us much time to search every corner. However, there is nothing special here other than frozen food.

Just as I was frowning because I didn't find anything, Fu Bin looked up at Kuding, who was only one palm away from his forehead, in a daze. I asked him if he found anything suspicious. After thinking for a while, he replied: "The storefront is about 3.5 meters high, but the height of the cold storage is only about two meters. Although lowering the roof of the warehouse can improve the cooling effect, it also reduces the Use the space…”

I looked around at the goods in the cold storage and immediately understood what he meant - it's too crowded here!

In this space, which is not enough for twenty square meters, both the shelves and the ground are full of goods, and it is not easy for us to turn around after entering. If the roof of the warehouse is lowered just to enhance the cooling effect, it seems to be a little lost. However, if there is another pavilion above the roof of the library, it is another matter.

I searched the top of the warehouse with Fu Bin and found a small area above the shelf on the left with significantly less frost. Fu Bin walked to the shelf, stretched out his hand and pushed it up, easily pushing the top of the shelf out of a gap. This is obviously a movable door. Perhaps the things Wu Wei and others needed were once stored in the secret room on the movable door.

Fu Bin took out the flashlight, held it in his mouth, and stepped on the shelf to get into the secret room hidden on the roof of the warehouse. However, as soon as he put his head in, he jumped down again, and his face turned pale. I asked him what was going on, and he calmed down before answering, "Did you smell it?"

I took a hard breath through my nose, and in addition to the icy odor I often get in the refrigerator, there was a weird scent. This kind of fragrance seems familiar, although I didn't remember smelling it there for a while, but as the strange fragrance falling from the top of the warehouse gradually became stronger, a terrible name came to mind easily - Anayi!

"This unique scent is exactly the same as the scent of the weird people we met in the Academy of Beauty." Fu Bin's face was full of palpitations, and he was obviously afraid of Anayi, who was as powerful as a demon.

At this moment, I am almost certain that the Holy Master mentioned by Wu Wei and others is Anayi with incredible power. And this terrifying old witch is most likely hiding in the secret room on the top of the library.

Although I don't want to provoke her, I can't be deterred by it. Fu Bin did the same. After looking at me for a while, he motioned for me to leave the cold storage first. I walked out of the cold storage and briefly told Xueqing what was inside. Without a word, she loaded the pistol immediately, turned and walked into the cold storage.

The door of the library closed slowly. I didn't know what was going on inside, and I didn't hear any sound coming from it. In situations like this where conflicts can arise at any time, instead of being helpful, I can become a burden. The only thing I could do was lean against the wall, smoke silently, and call the boss for support when I was done.

Just when I put out the cigarette butt and took out my mobile phone to call the boss, the door of the cold storage slowly opened. Xueqing walked out of the cold storage in a panic, with a strange expression on her face that was completely different from usual. Her face was paler, and with her usual indifferent expression, it seemed like a thin layer of frost had condensed on her face. However, at this moment, her face was flushed and her breathing was a little short. This is the first time I've seen her so flustered.

I hurriedly asked her what happened, did Fu Bin have an accident? She didn't answer my question, just asked inexplicably, "Do you care about me?"
