"Boom~"
At this moment, there was an explosion not far away, turning half of the night sky red.
"What's going on?" Tang Xi's expression changed drastically.
That's the direction the bar is headed.
The ones staying at the bar were Yunqi and Shaoyao. Her request was only to hold her back, so Shaoyao's illusion and Yunqi's field control were the most suitable. However, such a violent explosion was not something they could produce.
"Xiaoxi, what about this person?" Su Huang hesitated.
"Take it away." Tang Xi didn't hesitate.
With a bitter face, Su Huang followed her with Zhuang Shijie, complaining. A captain of the criminal police is so timid that he can faint from fright, and he has to have a woman... No, it's too much for a female ghost to drag him away!
When I rushed to the back door of the bar, I saw that the soaring flames had burned through the roof, and there were chaotic screams and footsteps from inside, obviously the guests were running away.
"What's going on here?" Su Huang was dumbfounded, "It's only been a few minutes since we left, even if we poured oil and set it on fire, it wouldn't burn so badly right? Could it be that c4 was put in it and it exploded!"
"Su Huang, look at Zhuang Shijie, I'll go in and see if there is anyone else." Tang Xi frowned.
"Xiaoxi, it's too dangerous inside, I'd better go." Su Huang hurriedly said.
"The fire can't kill me, but there may be a... very powerful warlock inside." Tang Xi's face was very heavy, and she looked up at the flame, "There is a strong resentment in this fire, which cannot be quenched by ordinary water. I have to Go in and have a look."
"Okay." Su Huang reluctantly nodded, and said, "Be careful."
"En." Tang Xi responded, and walked into the back door.
This road seems to be unusually hidden. Even if there was a fire, no customers or even bar staff were seen escaping from here.
The siren of the fire engine could be heard in the distance, but she was even more depressed. As soon as she raised her hand, several water dragons rushed out, instantly extinguishing the remaining fire in the passage and opening a path.
"Sure enough, it's not so easy to destroy." Tang Xi's heart sank.
If this was an ordinary fire, the water dragon transformed by her spiritual power could have rushed all the way into the sea of flames, but the water dragon died together with the flames.
Although it is said that water can overcome fire, but now the flame has become a prairie fire, and there is a word called "a drop in the bucket". It is impossible to extinguish the fire without making a big noise. We have to wait for an opportunity, otherwise Xie Changan will come soon The workload is too great.
Walking, the front is a dead end.
Tang Xi touched Gao Ran's door and kicked it over.
"Boom!"
The burning door panel flew out and hit the ground hard.
Tang Xi stepped through the door, and it was indeed the previous box.
Very good, the bar is not innocent, just burn it down, and save the trouble of banning it.
"You are the contractor?" The woman in the flame looked at her with great interest.
It was also the first time for Tang Xi to see the illusion of Shaoyao forcibly broken by pure power, so she looked at her curiously.
"Xiao Xi, I'm sorry." Shao Yao floated over.
"It's okay, the fire attribute is very unreasonable, and I don't blame you." Tang Xi said, putting her back in the bracelet.
The damage of flames is already strong, and the most important thing is that the range is too wide. It is the easiest way to break the illusion. If it is replaced by a physics department, it will cost at least ten times more power to shake the illusion, such as Baixue.
"You're so young, there are so many geniuses in this world." The woman sighed.
"Indeed, aunt, you are already old." Tang Xi said bluntly.
The corner of the woman's mouth twitched, her eyes were sharp as a knife. Where is she old? Thirty years old is the most blooming age for a woman, what does a young girl know about the charm of a mature woman!
"Stop talking nonsense, who is behind you? What's the purpose?" Tang Xi asked.
Beside her, Yun Qi had already replaced the guqin in his hand, and the five strings were faintly visible, showing a faint murderous intent.
"You're so smart, why don't you guess it yourself?" The woman smiled coquettishly, and stepped back step by step, not caring at all about the burning sea of fire behind her.
"Don't try to run." Tang Xi was already holding the Lingli whip in his hand.
"Although I don't mind staying and playing with you, but..." The woman's lower body was completely on fire, and she pointed to the roof with a smile, "If you don't work hard, the flames here will spread to the next door, poor firefighters today I don’t know why I’m going to have a headache at night.”
Tang Xi gritted his teeth angrily.
However, even if she wanted to leave this woman alone, she knew in her heart that there were too many people gathered in the bar street. If the fire spread regardless, the casualties would be incalculable.
Tsk, it was set on fire for this reason!
"Bye, see you soon." The woman blew a kiss to her.
However, Tang Xi quickly took out her phone and unlocked it, making two clicks, fearing that one photo would not be enough, so she took several more photos in a row, freezing her stunned expression on the screen.
"You..." The woman froze.
A battle between two celestial masters, but they suddenly took out their mobile phones
Tang Xi glanced at the screen, curled up the corners of her lips in satisfaction, and finally felt elated as if she had pulled back a victory.
Then, with a wave of her hand, she sucked the wine glass on the table over and grabbed it in her hand.
This woman is a living person, so she can be photographed. As long as you have the photo, are you afraid you won't be able to find her? There are fingerprints left on the wine glass, maybe the dna in the saliva can be extracted from the mouth of the glass, just for comparison.
"You!" The woman's face finally became extremely ugly.
"Auntie, I'm a policeman." Tang Xi looked at her mockingly.
The woman moved, as if she wanted to rush forward to destroy the phone and the wine glass, but immediately, as if she had thought of something, she shrank back, glared at her angrily, and disappeared into the sea of flames.
It's just that the expression on his face was no longer the one he had won before, but a little more embarrassed.
Yun Qi flipped his hand, put away the guqin, and said, "There is no one alive in the bar, let's go out."
"Wait a little longer." Tang Xi looked up at the fire above her head, and said solemnly, "She's right, the fire can't put out the fire, and I can't let the fire spread."
"How?" Yun Qi asked worriedly.
"Cooperate with the respectable uncle firefighter." Tang Xi shrugged.
Soon, the sound of the siren was close at hand, and then, a stream of water poured down from the burned roof, turning the house into a water curtain hole. The icy water and flames intersected, and white water vapor rose up, quickly obscuring the sight.
Tang Xi retreated to the entrance of the secret passage, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen spells flew out in all directions.
The talisman turned into a water dragon in mid-air, rampaging in the sea of fire, the fire gradually extinguished wherever it passed, and the remaining bits were also blown away and extinguished by a large amount of high-strength water pressure.
Tang Xi confirmed that there was no problem, and then turned and walked out of the bar.
"Xiaoxi." Su Huang waited anxiously, and was relieved to see her come out.
"It's okay, let's go." Tang Xi wiped the black ash on his face with his sleeve, and took out his mobile phone to make a call.
Ouyang Sheng, who went to the police for the same person three times a day, was helpless. Of course, if he knew, he could discuss with Chu Li how he felt at that time.
Half an hour later, a low-key black Toyota stopped at the alley.
Tang Xi asked Su Huang to throw the unconscious Zhuang Shijie into the back seat, got into the co-pilot by herself, and fastened the seat belt without looking sideways.
"Did you come out of the fire?" Ouyang Sheng asked.
"En." Tang Xi responded.
"When I came here, I heard from the fire department that the fire burns up quickly and goes out even faster, which is very strange." Ouyang Sheng said.
"Spiritual power turned into fire, I used the cover of firefighting to extinguish it." Tang Xi confirmed his guess.
Ouyang Sheng frowned, and it took a while before he said: "Nanjiang City is located in a remote place, and ordinary celestial masters seldom come here. There are only a few supernatural events in a year, and they all rushed together today."
"If you say that I brought it, I won't deny it." Tang Xi said flatly.
"Oh, what should come will always come. With those criminals around, it will happen sooner or later." Ouyang Sheng sneered.
"Take me to the Starry Sky Hotel." Tang Xi said.
Ouyang Sheng was taken aback, grabbed the steering wheel with one hand, and pointed to the back seat with the other: "Didn't you catch that man?"
"He's too wary of me to pry open," Tang Xi said.
"Understood." Ouyang Sheng nodded.
"He is with the woman who set the fire today. Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, we will detain him for at least 48 hours." Tang Xi said.
"It's a pity that the bar was completely burned down, and Mr. Wen's equipment couldn't restore the scene at that time. Your testimony alone is really not enough, and you didn't see it with your own eyes." Ouyang Sheng felt a little regretful.
"It's okay, I got better evidence." Tang Xi said, lowered her head to operate the phone, and sent him the photo just taken.
Soon, Ouyang Sheng sent her to the door of the hotel.
Tang Xi unbuckled his seat belt and tossed the wine glass to him, "Fingerprints and DNA."
"Understood." Ouyang Sheng was wearing white gloves when driving, and took out a sealed bag to put the wine glass in, and said casually, "I need to collect your fingerprints to distinguish."
"No, I use spiritual power to cover my fingertips, so no fingerprints will be left." Tang Xi got out of the car, closed the door behind her back, and walked into the hotel without looking back.
Ouyang Sheng was stunned, but couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help sighing.
No wonder Wang Ling talked about this girl for 8 out of 10 minutes when he called him before, she was really different! It would be great if he could get into Pei, and he would become the trump card in a few years, and when that one retired, he would actually be the next director. Wouldn't it be a waste for such a talent to be placed in the serious case team responsible for ordinary criminal cases
Tang Xi didn't expect that Ouyang Sheng had already considered the issue of his successor in a few years. When he returned to his room, he took his clothes and went into the bathroom to clean himself thoroughly.
Although she has paid great attention to using spiritual power to protect herself, she still doesn't want to be burned by the flames. After all, she came out of the fire scene with a lot of black ash on her face. I'm afraid I will be stopped by hotel staff in the lobby.
Finally cleaned myself up and dried my hair, another hour later.
After eating a few snack mats to rest her stomach, she fell into the soft bed almost immediately.
This day's tossing, even her physical strength is really a bit too much.
Sleep till dawn.
Slowly grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table and took a look, the big "12:15" dazzled people's eyes.
Tang Xi jumped up and scratched her hair blankly.
How long has it been since I overslept so much!
There was still a trace of fatigue in her body, and after a while, she yawned, got out of bed, washed and changed her clothes, and felt refreshed.
There are still two unread messages from Pei Qingzhi in the phone.
The first one is at seven o'clock in the morning, which means that I have to go out to do errands and will come back at night. The second is just fifteen minutes ago, remind her that it is almost time to get up, don't miss breakfast and not eat lunch on time, it is not good for the stomach.
After reading it, Tang Xi couldn't help chuckling.
Just looking at the news, he is really a gentle and considerate warm man, but it is also this man who framed a criminal police captain into the police station while talking and laughing.
It is true that people have two sides, which cannot be generalized.
But... it's interesting. If Pei Qingzhi was just such a gentle entrepreneur, she wouldn't get along so well with him. In their bones, they always have something alike.
At this moment, another message came in. It was Ouyang Sheng asking her if she wanted to come to Pei to participate in the interrogation, and Zhuang Shijie woke up.
Tang Xi thought for a while and gave a negative answer.
No matter what Zhuang Shijie said, he had been a criminal policeman for so many years and had rich interrogation experience. He didn't have any tenable evidence of timing. Don't let that old fox speak the truth. On the contrary, he might sell some information about that woman in order to escape himself. However... She didn't think Zhuang Shijie really knew much.
So, there is no need to make a special trip here.
Having said that, she was afraid that Zhuang Shijie would faint again if she appeared.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there may be a big battle in the ghost city, the most important thing is to recharge your batteries.
Thinking about it, she put her mobile phone in her bag, opened the door and went out, and unexpectedly found a do not disturb sign hanging outside the door.
Stunned for a moment, she immediately realized that Pei Qingzhi should have hung it up when he was leaving. With a faint smile, she turned the sign over, locked the door, and went out to look for food.
Basically, it was past meal time, so she randomly found a noodle restaurant near the hotel, ordered a bowl of beef noodles, and continued to swipe her phone while waiting.
There were also several new emails lying in the mailbox, the top one was sent by Xiao Xue.
She sent a copy of the photo to Xiao Xue last night, she is indeed a hidden workaholic, and she sent the investigation results early in the morning during the holiday, so she knew it must have been all night.
When I opened the email, the ID photo on the file was indeed that woman playing with fire, but compared to the coquettish one I saw last night, even though the photo had the same face, the feeling was quite different.
— Miao Hong, a Chinese teacher at No. 1 Primary School in Southern Xinjiang.
That's right, a Hmong.
Tang Xi finished reading the short material in a few glances, and was a little puzzled in her heart. Such an ordinary teacher, old-fashioned and serious, with a black suit and black-rimmed glasses, has no interest. Really last night's femme fatale? If this is the same person, I'm afraid they are not schizophrenic, right
However, there are fingerprints and dna, just compare them.
Ouyang Sheng must be able to find out this kind of information completely, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
"Miss, your tomato beef noodles." The waiter came over with a bowl of steaming hot noodle soup.
"Thank you." Tang Xi naturally put away the phone and broke open the disposable chopsticks.
Well, it's very fragrant, the beef is stewed crispy and delicious, the noodles are firm and smooth, and the soup is thick and delicious, but it also has something to do with being hungry.
Sure enough, before she could eat a bowl of noodles, the phone rang like a reminder.
"Xiao Tang, it's me." Ouyang Sheng has already changed his name very familiarly.
"Come on, is there a result?" Tang Xi said while drinking soup.
"Well, Miao Hong's information has been found, I will send it to you..."
"No, I already know, so after comparing the fingerprints, it is indeed her?" Tang Xi interrupted.
Ouyang Sheng couldn't help but choked.
It's a bit ironic that the whole group of them rushed all night, and their efficiency was not as good as that of a girl who was alone in a different place.
Tang Xi wasn't too surprised. Pei usually dealt with supernatural cases, and he really had to search for information to find someone. It was far less efficient than the criminal police, let alone a top computer hacker like Xiao Xue.
"No, but Miao Hong has absconded, so it's tantamount to self-report." Ouyang Sheng said depressedly.
"It doesn't matter, I know where she is going." Tang Xi said.
"Where? I'll bring someone here right away!" Ouyang Sheng was immediately refreshed when he heard this.
"There is a ghost market in southern Xinjiang, do you know?" Tang Xi asked.
"This... I have heard the rumors." Ouyang Sheng hesitated for a while before saying, "The legend of the ghost city in southern Xinjiang has existed for several years, but at least I have never seen it, and I have not found anyone who has indeed seen a ghost city. But empty There is no wind in the hole..."
"I have people here who have seen ghost markets." Tang Xi said.
"..." Ouyang Sheng wanted to cry while holding the phone.
People like you are really shocking, do you know that
"Tomorrow night at 11:00 midnight, the ghost market will appear, and it will last about 2 hours. Be prepared." Tang Xi said again.
"Zi Shi." Ouyang Sheng understood clearly, "Where is the location?"
"I'll post your location when the time comes." Tang Xi looked calm, "Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll startle the snake and scare people away."
"But... what if we don't lay an ambush in advance and let people run away?" Ouyang Sheng objected.
"I'm in charge." Tang Xi hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
On the other hand, Ouyang Sheng put down the phone and realized after a while that Tang Xi wasn't even a member of PEI, she was in charge... who was she responsible for? Who can hold her accountable? Just... outrageous.
"Boss?" Someone next to him called out cautiously.
"It's okay, there's a big case tomorrow night, don't lose your temper." Ouyang Sheng waved his hand weakly.
The little girl is very capable, but her temper is... too independent.
Moreover, the whole pei seems to be underestimated.
"Boss?" Seeing his appearance, the team members couldn't help shrinking their necks.
He must have read it wrong, the usually calm boss seems to be on fire...
After Tang Xi scooped up the noodles, she put down her chopsticks and drank the soup from the bowl.
Suddenly, there was a figure in the opposite seat.
"Huh?" She just raised her eyes.
"You have a bad temper for wanting to do everything yourself." Xie Chang'an propped one hand on the table and sighed.
Tang Xi put down the bowl calmly, picked up a tissue and wiped the red tomato juice from her mouth.
"How old are you, why do you have to carry such a heavy burden on your shoulders." Xie Changan said again.
"You are the least qualified to say that about me, right?" Tang Xi laughed angrily, "Who put such a heavy burden on my shoulders!"
"It's me." Xie Changan raised his hand and said helplessly, "But I never expected you to do it right away, nor did I expect you to walk alone on this road."
"I have you all, not alone." Tang Xi looked at him puzzled, "I never thought that I could do it alone."
"However, ghosts are different from people." Xie Changan said earnestly, "You accepted Chu Li's protection, and even let an ordinary person like Pei Qingzhi participate in such a dangerous thing, which proves that you can trust others, so why not Give them more trust? They should also be companions who can fight alongside you."
Tang Xi paused, and subconsciously squeezed the tissue into a ball.
"Don't always put yourself in the position of protector." Xie Changan got up and pressed her shoulder, and disappeared into the air.
Tang Xi was stunned.
Obviously ghosts have no temperature, but the shoulders he pressed seemed to burn.
"Miss, miss?" A voice suddenly came from beside her ear, bringing her back to her senses.
"Miss, are you okay?" the young waitress asked worriedly.
"It's okay." Tang Xi smiled and shook her head.
"That's good." The waitress also smiled, "I see you've been talking to yourself, thinking you're not feeling well, it's fine, the table...can I clean it up?"
"Yes." Tang Xi grabbed the bag and got up.
Walking out of the air-conditioned small shop, the heat wave at noon in October suddenly hits the face, taking away the last trace of coolness.
Tang Xi pouted, and took out a small pencil umbrella from her pouch to open the sunshade.
Ghosts are not likely to melt when exposed to the sun, but the sun is full of yang energy, and it is always uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun too much. The weaker the ghost, the more unable to withstand the sun exposure. Even her ghost messenger will not like the bracelet being exposed to the sun. The feeling of being roasted hot.
"Hey, do you always feel that way?" Tang Xi asked suddenly.
"Have you heard what I said?" Yun Qi's cold voice sounded directly in her mind.
"I'm still listening..." Tang Xi laughed dryly.
"Hehe." Yun Qi only sneered back at her twice.
Tang Xi rolled her eyes, opened her umbrella with one hand, took out her mobile phone with the other and made a call.
"Why? Isn't there no signal?" Chu Li's voice was cold.
"Now there is." Tang Xi was very innocent.
"What's the matter?" Chu Li sighed.
"That..." Tang Xi hesitated before asking, "Am I overprotective?"
"You...did you just find out?" Chu Li was surprised.
Tang Xi only felt the blue veins on his forehead twitch violently, and he was about to hang up the phone.
"Even if you ask Pei Qingzhi again, it's the same." Chu Li added without haste.
"I didn't want to ask him!" Tang Xi roared angrily and hung up the phone harshly.
Chu Li in the serious crime team's office listened to the busy tone on the phone, sneered, and threw the phone aside casually.
"Chu, Team Chu?" Xiao Xue, who was standing next to him, called out in fear.
"It's okay, send all the information you checked last night to my mailbox later." Chu Li ordered, then turned and entered his office.
"Oh." Xiao Xue hurriedly got into work.
Team Chu is scary! He was obviously smiling, but it was scarier than when he scolded people with a straight face!
"It's disgusting!" Tang Xi gritted her teeth and turned the phone on and off several times. Finally, her face sank, she sighed, and sent a location.
After finishing, she suddenly felt relieved. A little tired, but a little relaxed.
After thinking about it, he sent another message to Pei Qingzhi: Yesterday's red bean cake was delicious.
A few seconds later, a new message came in: Got it, the mung bean cake at that store is also good, you can compare it for tonight's supper.
Tang Xi couldn't help but twitched the corners of her lips, feeling better in an instant.
