After dinner, Tang Xi sent Pei Qingzhi back to Pei's, sat in the car for a while, and drove home.
"So early?" Aunt Zhang was a little surprised.
"Well, Aunt Zhang, I want to eat strawberries." Tang Xi acted like a baby.
"Hey, I'll go buy it right away." Aunt Zhang smiled and went to put on the doll. It's rare to hear her make a request, which must be fulfilled.
Tang Xi walked into the study and closed the door, originally wanted to ask Xie Changan about the situation of the ghost gate, but then remembered that Xie Changan was not there.
Sighing, she suddenly remembered something again, and took out a long-forgotten soul-cultivating pearl.
It has been several months, and the soul inside should have almost recovered.
After the seal was released, a red figure jumped out of the soul-raising pearl, but seeing her was like a mouse seeing a cat, and sprinted under the cabinet.
"Why? Come out!" Tang Xi said angrily.
After a while, a head poked out from under the cabinet, but the gap between the cabinet and the ground was less than five centimeters, and a woman's head protruded out. It was really scary no matter how you looked at it.
"Bai Xue, come out." Tang Xi emphasized her tone.
"Oh." Bai Xue fluttered out, she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, like a cat with its back arched, ready to run away at any time.
"Meow~" A small head poked out from behind the table, with a pair of watery green eyes, staring at the shadow in the air full of doubts.
"Ah~~~~~" Baixue slammed into the net and hugged the ceiling lamp on the roof.
"Are you even afraid of cats?" Tang Xi waved silently.
The chinchilla she adopted is almost like a ghost. Except for drinking water, eating and going to the toilet, it is not very visible even at home. The little guy instinctively avoids all humans, including the owner.
"I, I, I didn't see clearly..." Bai Xue jumped down with a smile, and moved back.
Seeing her like this, Tang Xi couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.
This is the real snow.
After stripping the strength and residual consciousness of Explosive Bear and Zhang Lingxiao. What was left behind was the real Bai Xue's soul.
She is just such a confused, timid, frizzy and frizzy girl, just like when we first met.
"Are you going to accept me?" Bai Xue asked cautiously.
"Your memories are all there?" Tang Xi asked.
Bai Xue froze for a moment, then nodded: "Although the memory of my parents has been stripped away, since I have read it, it has become my own memory, and I will definitely not forget it."
"Very good." Tang Xi was very satisfied.
The result was better than she expected. Today, Bai Xue still retains the memories of Bao Xiong and Zhang Lingxiao, but has become a bystander of the memory, and will no longer mistake the obsession left by her parents as her own emotions and wishes because she is too involved in the play.
"You want to know... the gate of ghosts?" Bai Xue thought for a while.
"You said at the time, don't trust the underworld too much. There is also the reason why the ghost gate is closed. What do you know?" Tang Xi asked directly.
"I..." Bai Xue opened her mouth, a trace of confusion flashed across her face.
"If you have any conditions, I will consider them." Tang Xi knocked on the table and said lightly, "Although you are my prisoner, I am not harsh and unreasonable. As long as it is not too much, it is not impossible. discuss."
"I don't know much." Bai Xue hesitated.
"That's better than I am completely figuring it out on my own now." Tang Xi spread his hands and said calmly, "And Xie Chang'an is not here."
"Don't you believe him?" Bai Xue was taken aback.
"That's my business." Tang Xi was noncommittal.
"I... What will you do with me after I tell you?" Bai Xue asked.
"Hmm... that's a problem." Tang Xi rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
Bai Xue is different from other ghost messengers. Although most of them are not her intentions, she has indeed devoured innocent souls, which is against the law of heaven. There is no special ability, and the price/performance ratio is too low.
"If, I mean if..." Bai Xue gritted her teeth, "If you open the gate of hell, restore the order of the underworld, and re-establish the six realms of reincarnation, then... can you send me to reincarnate and become a real human?"
"I don't know if ghost wombs can be reincarnated as human beings?" Tang Xi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Besides, you have committed a heinous crime, even if you can be reincarnated, you have to cleanse your sins in the 18th floor of hell first. Can't be human."
"I admit the crimes I did, and I will accept the punishment I deserve!" Bai Xue's eyes were shining brightly, and she rushed to say, "Even if I can't be a human being, I am willing to be a beast or a grass, even if I am reborn as a grass, I just want to be real. Experience once, the feeling of being alive!"
"Okay, I'll do my best." Tang Xi thought for a while before agreeing generously.
"Thank you." Bai Xue said gratefully.
"Okay, tell me now, how much do you know about hell?" Tang Xi said.
"Jiuyou Dique is out of control!" Bai Xue blurted out.
Tang Xi paused, and then said: "You mean the unfathomable ravine in the deepest part of the underworld, the source of the ghost's power?"
"You know." Bai Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "I don't know much. I saw the scene in my father's memory. The yin energy in the Jiuyou Dique was flooding and spreading to the entire underworld. The first to bear the brunt is the 18th floor of hell. After being corroded by Yin Qi, the ghosts locked in it gained great strength, but they also lost their minds and fought with the guards of the hell. The hell was in chaos. My father was The one who was locked up on the seventeenth floor took advantage of the chaos and escaped upwards, and the last thing he saw was that the Yin Qi had spread to the seventh floor."
Listening to her words, Tang Xi's face became more and more serious.
"Father was in a hurry to escape from the underworld. At that time, he was not the only one who escaped from hell. They took advantage of the chaos in hell and when the ghosts and ghost messengers killed each other, they escaped through the ghost gate to the human world. You will know later, Bai Wuchang Xie Changan was ordered to arrest, and then left the underworld. Not long after, the ghost gate was closed." Bai Xue continued.
"So, it should be that the yin energy from the Nine Nether Land Que captured the eighteenth floor of hell and continued to spread to the entire underworld, and the King of Hades was afraid that the yin energy would enter the human world, so he closed the gate of ghosts?" Tang Xi mused.
"Who knows." Bai Xue spread her hands, and her tone showed no respect for Hades, "The yin energy of the Nine Nether Land Que will corrode humans and ordinary ghosts, but it is the source of the power of ghosts. In fact, it does no harm to Hades."
"That's not the case." Tang Xi shook his head, and said seriously, "The so-called extremes must be reversed. Even if it is the source of the ghost's power, it doesn't mean that the ghost can absorb the power without limit. No matter how delicious the food is, if you can't eat it, you can't eat it." If you continue to stuff it, you will be strangled to death."
Bai Xue was startled, but said nothing.
"However, this is at least a reference." Tang Xi said to herself again, "But..."
"What should I do now?" Bai Xue couldn't help but ask.
"Stay with me for the time being. Your soul was injured too badly before. Although you have recovered after a few months, it is better to take care of it again. I may need your help when I go to the underworld." Tang Xi said.
Bai Xue was silent for a while, but still said "I trust you for the time being", and returned to the Soul Cultivation Pearl.
Tang Xi bluntly added another seal. At this stage, she can't completely trust Bai Xue.
"Xiao Xi!" Su Huang was the first to jump out, "If what she said is true, wouldn't this ghost door not be able to be opened? This is a Pandora's box, once it is opened, the entire human world will cease to exist! "
Tang Xi rubbed the center of her brows, feeling a headache.
If what Bai Xue said is true, one hundred and fifty years later, the current situation in the underworld can be imagined, and the closed ghost gate has instead become a barrier protecting the human world, which must not be opened. But what Xie Changan said is also true. The human world and the underworld are originally complementary yin and yang sides. The six paths of reincarnation are unconnected, and the human world will perish sooner or later. This is just the difference between a quick death and a slow suicide.
What's more, there is still a key issue now - the yin of the moat.
If the yin energy of the Nine Nether Land Que has begun to spread to the human world, then as Xie Changan guessed, there is a second connection point between the underworld and the human world.
"Don't worry so much." Yun Qi appeared beside him.
"How to say?" Tang Xi was taken aback.
"Population." Yun Qi reminded, "Your police identity is easier to check."
Tang Xi stayed for a while, then suddenly realized, and quickly turned on the computer.
"Xiao Xi, what are you looking for?" Su Huang approached.
"Population growth." Tang Xi moved the mouse, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, and he let out a sigh of relief after a long time.
"How is it?" Yun Qi asked.
"In recent years, the population has indeed been growing negatively, but the birth rate is not particularly low." Tang Xi organized his words, and met Su Huang's blank gaze, and patiently explained, "If the six cycles of reincarnation have been cut off, then the world will no longer There are newborns. Although the current birth rate is low, it is enough to prove that the underworld is not a dead city, at least there is still a basic functioning team. The situation is not so bad yet!"
"What are you going to do?" Yun Qi asked.
"Wait for Xie Chang'an's news first." Tang Xi said in a deep voice, "If there is a second connection point, I have to go to the underworld first and check it with my own eyes before discussing countermeasures."
"You don't want to go to the underworld as a living person, do you?" Yun Qi asked in surprise.
"Of course." Tang Xi said as a matter of course, "I am a celestial master. If I don't have a body, my soul will be in a much weaker state, and without body protection, my soul will be exposed and easily corroded by Yin Qi."
"For thousands of years, there has been no example of a living person stepping into the underworld." Yun Qi said with a dark face.
"Then I'll be the first one." Tang Xi sneered, "As long as there is a connection point, so what if I just go in, if you don't accept it, come and fight."
"..." Yun Qi was speechless.
It makes sense!
"Xiao Xi, come and eat strawberries." Aunt Zhang knocked on the door.
"It's coming." Tang Xi stood up and said briskly, "In short, take it step by step."
When I came to the living room, there was a plate of washed strawberries on the coffee table. They were bright red and exuded a sweet and sour aroma, which made people move their index fingers.
Tang Xi picked one up and put it in her mouth, took a bite, and the juice slipped into her throat, making her narrow her eyes happily: "It's delicious!"
"Xiao Xi, is Mr. Chu coming back for dinner today?" Aunt Zhang asked.
"Come back." Tang Xi nodded.
Ren Lan's cell phone is still in her hand, Chu Li will not rest assured that she is messing around alone.
It's just before three o'clock, lying on the sofa reading a book and eating strawberries, what a leisurely day.
Hmm... The point is that after entering university, no devil tutor chased after her head with stacks of test papers, reference books and mock questions, which is gratifying.
Sure enough, during normal off-duty hours, Chu Li came back.
"How is it?" Tang Xi asked lying on the sofa.
"..." Chu Li only glanced at her, but didn't speak.
"No progress?" Tang Xi sat up, wondering.
"Xiao Xiao found the ID of the source of the rumor." Chu Li walked over, sat down on the single sofa next to him, and threw a strawberry into his mouth.
"Isn't that good?" Tang Xi smiled, but seeing his serious face, he hesitated and asked, "Is there a problem?"
"It's a big problem." Chu Li let out a long sigh, "The ID that Xiao Xiao found is called 'Sunshine Mailang', and the registration information and so on are all stolen from other people. I'm sorry, and I used it just once. , it is obviously a trumpet dedicated to dealing with Ren Lan. Xiao Xiao compared the registered IP, fortunately, the other party is not proficient in network technology, and more importantly, she still holds the mobile phone she used at that time. "
Tang Xi lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then asked in surprise, "Tianye?"
"Yeah." Chu Li confirmed, "That's Tian Ye's personal cell phone that he has been using for two years."
"The name Sunshine Mailang is easy to think of Tianye." Tang Xi shrugged, and wrote lightly, "Many people register a trumpet, although they can't use their real names, they always like to play tricks on the name like an easter egg, vaguely There’s the sense of accomplishment that only smart people can guess who it is—it’s boring.”
"Tian Ye is also Ye Zhou's anchor. He only worked for two years. When Ren Lan was still there, he was always tepid. After all, the company's resources were all tilted towards Ren Lan, who was also the boss's girlfriend." Chu Li road.
"Jealousy makes people crazy." Tang Xi sighed.
"However, she probably just wanted to destroy Ren Lan's reputation and popularity and replace her. She didn't expect her to commit suicide." Chu Li said after a pause.
"That's natural." Tang Xi agreed, but she spread her hands helplessly, "But, even if it wasn't intentional, half of Ren Lan was forced to death by her. This kind of fear and guilt has always weighed on her. In my heart, it became the introduction for Ren Lan's ghost to bewitch her to commit suicide in the same way."
"It's easy for the two of them to retaliate, but as a criminal policeman, what's the matter!" Chu Li said angrily.
"Hey, don't be so serious about being a human being." Tang Xi got up, took a strawberry and stuffed it directly into his mouth, "Anyway, it's true that Tian Ye committed suicide. After the case is closed, it's fine to submit a report to Pei for filing."
"I know, it's just... a bit, destroying the three views?" Chu Li looked up at the ceiling, and asked after a long while, "Xiao Xi, do you think Tian Ye is a suicide or a homicide?"
"Everything in the world can't be traced to the root." Tang Xi changed the subject helplessly, "You have time to think about philosophical issues, why not think about it, Ren Lan's soul is still in the phone, she killed someone, The speed at which resentment erodes reason will be faster, what if she can leave this phone and go to other people's phones to confuse people who have similar experiences with Tian Ye to commit suicide."
Chu Li was startled by what she said.
"Isn't it okay to destroy the phone?" Su Huang said casually while sitting on the back of the sofa.
Tang Xi turned her head and looked at Chu Li innocently.
"No!" Chu Li blacked out, "This is the most important physical evidence. If it is missing, the case cannot be closed!"
"Then what should we do?" Tang Xi looked at him eagerly.
"..." Chu Li was speechless, and finally took out his mobile phone to send a message.
"You asked Xiao Liu to get another one like it?" Tang Xi leaned over to take a look, shocked.
"Otherwise, do you have another way?" Chu Li didn't raise his head.
"Ah..." Tang Xi scratched her head, feeling guilty.
After conspiring to lynch a suspect, it turns into forging physical evidence... well, did she bring down the righteous cop uncle
"What are you looking at?" Chu Li sneered, "I'm an undercover agent."
Tang Xi was startled, not understanding what he meant.
"Which undercover agent has clean hands." After sending the message, Chu Li raised his head and looked at her calmly, "I have killed people, and there may be innocent people. You should understand that if you don't defile yourself first, you won't be trusted. And how many illegal and criminal things have been done by an undercover agent like me who can destroy a huge organization in the end."
"But..." Tang Xi wanted to say, your awe-inspiring righteousness is purer than anyone I've ever seen.
"It's all for the country and the people. As for the means..." Chu Li chuckled again, "It's a big deal to suspend his job for self-reflection. Bureau Tan should get used to it."
"After Director Tan retires, will Director Zhao take over?" Tang Xi asked.
"Probably so." Chu Li said, "You have also met Zhao Ju, who is Tan Ju's deputy. It was when I asked you to be a consultant, when the first case meeting was held. At that time, Tan Ju was hospitalized, and at work Bureau Zhao is in charge."
"Well, quite serious." Tang Xi said.
"Anyway, you don't have much time to deal with the higher-ups." Chu Li disagreed.
"That's right." Tang Xi nodded happily, but didn't notice that the topic was changed.
After dinner, Xiao Liu, who was sweating profusely, rushed to their house, brought a second-hand mobile phone, and complained: "Chu team, consultant, this is a model a few years ago. The fruit factory has stopped production. You also said to keep it a secret, I went to more than a dozen second-hand mobile phone stores before I found one with the same color, it was not broken at all, and it was still usable."
"Understood, this matter is rotten in the stomach, pretend it never happened." Chu Li urged.
"I know..." Before Xiao Liu finished his sentence, the door closed in front of his nose, and he took back the second half of his words.
"It's so pitiful." Tang Xi said "tsk tsk".
"There's no time to talk." Chu Li threw the phone to her.
Tang Xi started to operate immediately, only she had seen the contents of the live broadcast mobile phone, so she installed those programs back from memory. Fortunately, this is a work phone, and there is no personal content in it. The photos are a few that come with the system, and there is not even a phone card inserted. The live broadcast uses the company's wifi. Soon, manual copying is completed.
Finally, open the live broadcast software, log in to Tianye's account, and it's done!
Chu Li took it over, looked at it, and added a few scratches on the screen and the back case with his fingernails: "The facts of the suicide case are clear, and the physical evidence is just a formality, and I won't check it carefully. However, just in case, I will check it tomorrow Take it to the forensic room first, and print Tian Ye's fingerprints on it."
"After death, the skin does not secrete oil, and fingerprints can be printed on it?" Tang Xi was surprised.
"Let Xiao Su figure out a way." Chu Li said.
Tang Xi was ashamed, this is a fake physical evidence, if the prosecutor doesn't check it carefully, I'm sorry for his effort!
"Okay, let's do it." Chu Li packed up the "physical evidence."
Tang Xi poured the live broadcast mobile phone in the sealed bag on the table, and sighed: "I wanted to go in before because Tian Ye's soul was swallowed by the mobile phone. If the mobile phone was directly destroyed, Tian Ye would also be scattered. But... this case, Seriously, she is the culprit. Ren Lan said that Tian Ye came to accompany her voluntarily, whether it was really voluntary or voluntary—she should have been punished anyway. The grievances between the two of them cannot be calculated by outsiders."
As she said that, she grabbed the phone, and the phone was sucked up, spinning in the air.
In an instant, strong resentment swarmed out.
"It's a little bit... It's obviously a little bit!" Ren Lan's sharp voice sounded.
"I know." Tang Xi didn't move, and increased the oppression of spiritual power, and said directly, "Ye Zhou won't just stay out of it."
"I'm going to kill him! You asked me to kill that scumbag Ye Zhou, I'd rather die!" Ren Lan gradually couldn't resist the pressure and shouted in despair.
In her own world, she is the absolute king, but for a Tang Xi who is fully capable and cannot be suppressed, she is far behind.
"No." Tang Xi said indifferently, "No matter what mistakes Ye Zhou made, at least he couldn't die by your hands. Ren Lan, you already have Tian Ye's life in your hands, so you can't commit any more crimes."
"I'm not reconciled! That scum, he knows everything!" Ren Lan screamed, "He knows that I haven't had plastic surgery, and that the person who spread the rumors is Tian Ye, but he doesn't say anything, he just wants to take the opportunity to get rid of Me! Because Tian Ye is younger than me, and he still has the kind of student spirit that he likes most when he is out of society! At the beginning... At the beginning, he liked me for this! It is completely different from his wife... "
"So, what do you think when you know he's a scumbag and insist on hanging him from a tree with a crooked neck?" Tang Xi rolled her eyes.
A scumbag, a bitch. Now that I know that he is married, I also know that he is cheating on me, and I still refuse to leave. I have to commit suicide and regret not taking the scumbag away with me. After all, Tian Ye is more pleasing to the eye than her. Li made some tricks, but San refused anyway.
Hey, after all, no one was really innocent in this case, but compared to what they did, the punishment they received was too heavy.
Two fresh lives, as young as a flower.
People across the Internet don't know if it's a human or a ghost, but those who get along day and night wearing human skin also don't know if it's a human or a ghost under the skin.
Isn't it good to be an upright person
"Ah~~~~~~"
"Snapped!"
A burst of flames erupted from the phone, and the whole thing burned up. In the flames, Tang Xi grabbed two dim clusters of spiritual light and stuffed them into a Soul Cultivation Bead.
"The souls of Ren Lan and Tian Ye?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
"Remnant soul." Tang Xi replied, "Keep it, and settle it later."
"Xiao Xi! What about that scumbag Ye Zhou?" Su Huang asked.
"Go with Shaoyao and let him turn himself in." Tang Xi waved his hand.
"Surrender yourself to what?" Su Huang was a little confused.
"Ren Lan and Tian Ye, two obvious suicide cases are such a big deal, they always have to have an explanation to the public. I also said in the live broadcast that after the conclusion of the case, it will be announced on the Internet." Tang Xi sneered, "Why are you a good girl? If you want to commit suicide, let Ye Zhou explain to the netizens."
"However, how can he 'confess'?" Su Huang didn't understand.
"It's enough for him to feel that a prison full of yang energy is 'safer' than the outside." Tang Xi looked at her with a strange expression.
Su Huang was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I know!"
Tang Xi released Shao Yao and asked them to "play" with Ye Zhou by themselves.
Su Huang followed her to complete the last wishes of the ghosts in the haunted house. She is proficient in the technique of entering dreams, and Shao Yao is a master of illusion. It depends on Ye Zhou's ability to last for a few days. But... I still remind them that Ye Zhou has to turn himself in, so don't go crazy with fright.
"You." Chu Li laughed.
"Captain Chu has any objections?" Tang Xi blinked at him.
"No." Chu Li answered very simply, turned around to get the trash can, and swept the burnt mobile phone into it.
"I always feel that there are too many things that don't go my way in this case, and it's too tight." Tang Xi said to herself.
"By taking advantage of Ye Zhou's surrender, I asked the Network Information Division to publish a legal education on cyber violence." Chu Li sighed.
All those directly involved in the case were punished, but what about those netizens who directly killed Ren Lan
There is no solution for the time being.
