On the way back to Jiangnan City, the three of them didn't speak in the car, but the atmosphere was very warm, as if a thin membrane had finally been punctured.
The lights were not turned on in the car, soft music was playing, the wind and snow outside the car tended to decrease, and there were more cars on the highway than during the day.
"Is there a bit of traffic in front?" Tang Xi asked suddenly.
"No way, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year, so the traffic flow is not so high. Could it be that there was an accident because of the bad weather?" Pei Qingzhi was puzzled.
Chu Li took out his mobile phone to check, and replied: "The Criminal Investigation Detachment of Qingjiang City set up a card check ahead, saying that there is a fugitive fleeing in the direction of Jiangnan City."
"What a coincidence?" Tang Xi blurted out.
"Yeah, it's such a coincidence." Chu Li sneered.
"Could it be Fu Xiao who reported the letter?" Pei Qingzhi pondered.
"No, the time is not right." Chu Li said, "Go down the ramp in front, and we will take the national highway... They started setting up the card two hours ago, and we hadn't even reached Qingjiang at that time."
"National Highway? I don't know the way, can I use a navigation?" Tang Xi said as he turned the steering wheel and got off the highway.
"No, I'll show you the way, and I won't even guide you on this route," Chu Li said.
"You mean, someone knew you left Jiangnan City, but they weren't sure where you went, so they set up a card here?" Pei Qingzhi continued.
"Probably, it's impossible to frame us as fugitives. Most likely I just want to see if I have been to Qingjiang." Chu Li said indifferently, "Turn left ahead."
"Turn left? Where is the road?" Tang Xi's eyes widened.
"There are no street lights, the village road." Chu Li said.
Tang Xi was silent for a while, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they had changed into ghost pupils, and his vision was as bright as daylight in an instant.
All the lights of the Lamborghini were turned off, and when it turned a corner on the village road, it looked like a ghost in the darkness.
"A child can be taught by analogy." Chu Li praised.
"I'm also the first person in the ages to use ghost pupils for driving." Tang Xi said angrily.
Because Chu Li got into the car one step earlier, he grabbed the co-pilot, so it was convenient for him to guide the way at the moment.
It was pitch black, but he could actually know where there was a path and where to turn, and after making many detours, he drove onto another national road.
"Okay, get on the highway again from the front entrance." Chu Li said, "This is already the boundary of Jiangnan City, bypassing the area where they can set up a card."
"Have you been here?" Tang Xi asked curiously while turning on the lights again and switching to the normal driving mode.
"Two years ago, there was a family extermination case in this village. Because the village is located at the junction of the two cities, it took me a long time to decide to investigate here, and then I stayed in the village for half a month." Chu Li said.
"That was Zhuang Shijie, right? Did he want to take over, or didn't he want to take over?" Tang Xi couldn't help asking.
"Look at me." Chu Li raised his eyebrows, "He doesn't want to take this trouble. But if I want to take it, he will grab it."
"What's wrong?" Tang Xi scolded.
"In that case, the person who reported the letter should be in Jiangnan City." Pei Qingzhi said.
"Well, who knows." Chu Li sneered.
Sure enough, after returning to the highway, he returned to Jiangnan City unimpeded.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Tang Xi got into the sewer in a day, drove hundreds of kilometers in the snow, got into a fight and felt tired, so he waved his hand and entered the room.
The first thing to do is to fill the bathtub with hot water, take a good bath, and throw all the worn clothes into the pool to soak.
Although there was no sewage that actually went down the sewer, psychologically, I always felt that the smell there had been sticking to the clothes and skin, and as soon as I relaxed, my whole body felt strange.
"Xiao Xi?" Su Huang's half body passed through the bathroom door.
"What?" Tang Xi opened his eyes.
Su Huang floated in, sat on the edge of the bathtub, flicked her tail, seemed to hesitate to speak.
"Let's talk if you have something to say, we are all family members." Tang Xi stretched out her hand from the water and gently tugged at her sleeve.
"I... I just want to know, if the gate of ghosts is reopened and the order of the cycle of life and death returns to normal, can ghosts like us start over from scratch?" Su Huang asked in a low voice.
"Of course." Tang Xi said without thinking, "Sister Su Huang, do you want to be reincarnated?"
"I don't know." Su Huang shook her head, a little dazed.
"Hmm..." Tang Xi thought for a while, and then said, "Follow me, be my emissary, and use my spiritual power to practice. It may take ten years at most, or three to five years at least, and you can restore your normal body. We can travel around the world together, fight monsters, save people, and experience various scenery. Of course, if you choose to reincarnate, forget all this, and completely abandon the past suffering, start from scratch, and regain a new life —There is no right choice, just two ways to live, you just want to do it yourself.”
"Sure enough, it's what Xiaoxi would say." Su Huang sighed with a smile, and said after a while, "Shaoyao won't go away. She said that Fu Zhuan's soul can't go to the underworld, the soul flies away, and there is no possibility of reunion in reincarnation. It's better to keep the memory forever. Just look at it, read it, and remember it.”
"Her obsession, even without me, will not dissipate in another hundred or eighty years. Maybe she can really cultivate into a ghost fairy." Tang Xi said.
"Guixian is very good." Shaoyao suddenly appeared above the bathtub and floated.
"Hey, one or two of you, even if I'm a girl, I'll be shy, okay?" Tang Xi picked up a touch of water and splashed it.
Of course the ghosts will not be splashed by the water. The two female ghosts smiled, pretended to avoid, and went out through the frosted glass door hand in hand.
Tang Xi sighed and shook his head.
These two old monsters, who are almost two hundred years old together, look more childish than her.
"Meow~" Suddenly, a thin meow came from the corner.
"Huh? When did you come in?" Tang Xi was startled and sat up.
The white cat walked over with graceful steps, jumped to the edge of the bathtub, and looked at her quietly with green eyes.
"You are really, I can't usually see you at home. If the water and cat food bowls are not empty, I don't know if I'm there." Tang Xi deliberately rubbed the white cat's head with watery hands, and wiped the fluffy hair. It made strands of each other hang together, and couldn't help laughing.
The white cat lowered its head and lightly bit her tiger's mouth.
"Okay, don't make trouble. If you fall into the bathtub, you can't swim." Tang Xi said, stood up, and put on a bath towel.
Putting on home clothes, she was still wiping her hair when she saw the white cat jump onto the bed and curl up into a ball at the foot of the bed.
"You... want to sleep with me today?" Tang Xi was surprised.
When she first adopted it, Tang Xi thought about sleeping with the cat in her arms in winter, but the white cat didn't show any face at all. It was the first time that he took the initiative to go to her bed.
"Meow." The white cat let out a low cry and closed its eyes.
Tang Xi couldn't help frowning.
Animals are very sensitive, and any abnormal behavior will not be without reason.
She knew the reason why the white cat looked like a ghost in this house. There were too many ghosts here, and cats that were particularly sensitive to Yin Qi would of course avoid them, especially around her, where the ghost energy was the heaviest.
But why did he suddenly get close to her...
Early the next morning, Tang Xi came to the police station by himself.
Chu Li took Pei Qingzhi to pick up Fu Xiao, while Tang Xi saw Yang Wenqiu and Tang Zhao again.
Not seeing each other for a year, both of them have changed a lot.
Yang Wenqiu lost her original brilliance, but she was not as desperate as when she saw her outside the court. Instead, she looked like an ordinary woman of her age, life had left deep marks on her face.
Tang Zhao also lost the domineering arrogance of the proud son of heaven. At least, Tang Zhao a year ago would never give her a good face, but now he has been taught to be patient by life.
Although she didn't deliberately inquire about it at school, it was the same school after all, and occasionally gossip would still drift into her ears.
I heard that Tang Zhao has already gone to practice in advance. Although many big companies are unwilling to accept him, some small companies that have just emerged still don't care about the grievances of wealthy families. After all, the children raised by the Tang family, even if Tang Zhao is not Tang Zhan as the heir, are still more capable than ordinary fresh graduates. Vision is different.
As for Tang Jing, her grades were much worse than the original Tang Jing's. In order to follow in the footsteps of Han Zhen who was admitted to the Capital University, she resolutely chose a second-rate university in the capital. Give up the favorite major.
I have to say that Yang Wenqiu and Tang Zhao's feelings for Tang Jing are indeed true. Although they didn't know that Xinzi had changed, they still regarded her as a family member and did not give up. But it's also the reason why Tang Jing hasn't been back in the capital this year. If you get along day and night, you can't hide it from your family members who have been together for more than ten years.
"Consultant, this is Tang Jing's flight number and passenger list." Xiao Liu took the information and put it in front of her.
"What about the airport surveillance?" Tang Xi asked while flipping through the information, "Nowadays is a society ruled by law, if you want to take a large living person away from the airport with dense surveillance, you will be noticed anyway."
In particular, metaphysics can only deceive people's eyes, but cannot deceive electronic equipment.
"This is the strange thing." Xiao Liu was connecting the laptop to the projector and started to adjust the equipment. He said, "That's why Ms. Yang and Mr. Tang were invited to the police station to cooperate with the investigation today."
"What do you mean?" Yang Wenqiu asked nervously.
"Ms. Yang, you'll know when you look at it." Xiao Liu sat down, typed a few times on his notebook, and called up a monitoring section.
The projection shows the airport hall with people coming and going.
"Did Jingjing be found by surveillance at the airport?" Yang Wenqiu asked anxiously.
"Ms. Yang will understand if you continue to read." Xiao Liu calmly clicked and fast-forwarded.
I saw a slender figure walking out with a suitcase, looking left and right.
"It's Jingjing." Yang Wenqiu grabbed Tang Zhao's hand.
"Yeah." Tang Zhao's face darkened.
Looking at it this way, Tang Jing returned to Jiangnan City safely. It stands to reason that she would go to take a taxi. Could it be that there is something wrong with the taxi driver? Steal wealth and sex
"Okay, here." Xiao Liu pressed the pause button.
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.
But Tang Jing was standing in front of a young man, holding his arm intimately.
The surveillance was taken from behind Tang Jing, and the young man's face could be clearly seen, which was—
"Mr. Tang, you obviously picked up your sister by yourself, and you report her missing again, which wastes the manpower and material resources of the police. This kind of behavior can range from detention to prosecution." Xiao Liu looked at Tang Zhao and said seriously. .
Yesterday, a group of them watched the surveillance at the airport in the middle of the night, and finally found that Tang Jing was actually picked up by Tang Zhao. The feeling at that moment was really like the feeling of being the closest friend of mankind.
"Azhao, what's going on here?" Yang Wenqiu was dumbfounded, and asked after a while, "Where's Jingjing? Where did you take her?"
"No! It's not me!" The moment Tang Zhao saw "myself" on the monitor, an expression of extreme horror appeared on his face.
"Mr. Tang, unless you have a twin brother who looks exactly like you, even if Tang Zhan escapes from prison, he won't resemble you to this extent." Xiao Liu said bluntly.
"It's really not me!" Tang Zhao gritted his teeth. "On New Year's Eve, the company where I was intern had to work overtime. I didn't leave until 5 pm, so I told Jingjing to let her take a taxi home. How could I show up at the airport?"
"Who can prove it?" Xiao Liu asked.
"This..." Tang Zhao choked for a moment and said after a while, "There are only five people in that crappy company including me, and two of them left the day before. I was the last one to stay that afternoon, except me Besides, the manager left at three o'clock, he can prove it!"
"Mr. Tang, look at the monitoring time." Xiao Liu reminded, "This is the monitoring at 4:30, if you go out immediately after 3:00, the distance from your internship company to the airport is more than an hour and a half .”
"But I've been there all the time! When I left, the old man in the reception room of the office building was still there, and I even said hello to him!" Tang Zhao roared.
"Well, we went to check this morning." Xiao Liu said with a blank expression, "But Uncle Liu said that his eyesight is not good, and on New Year's Eve, he always wanted to go home early, so he was a little absent-minded. Although he remembered that it was around five o'clock Someone said goodbye to him, but he doesn't remember what you look like, and there is no way to accurately find you from the photo, so this alibi is not valid."
"This..." Tang Zhao was choked and speechless, his chest heaved violently, and his face was flushed.
"What about monitoring? Office buildings, at least the entrance and exit should have monitoring?" Tang Xi asked casually.
"It's a pity." Xiao Liu spread his hands and said helplessly, "There is surveillance, but the property also got off work on time that afternoon, and turned off the surveillance before leaving, probably around two o'clock."
"Well... this is going to be difficult." Tang Xi was distressed.
"Consultant, this is all the grievances and grievances in the Tang family's own family, but it is too much to make a scene at the police station, especially at this critical moment, how much manpower is wasted in the serious crime team?" Xiao Liu complained.
"I told you, it's really not me!" Tang Zhao met his mother's suspicious gaze, scratched at his hair, and wanted to flip the table.
"I know." Tang Xi said.
"What do you know...you know it's not me?" Tang Zhao suddenly realized halfway through the roar, and looked at her in surprise.
"Of course it's not you." Tang Xi sneered, "Why did you take Tang Jing away? There is no deep hatred. If you want to vent your anger and don't want to control her, cut off her living expenses and drive her out to fend for herself, no one will say anything. After all, Tang Jing is an adult. Of course, if you suddenly realize your conscience and want to take revenge on Tang Jing, the fake phoenix, for that biological sister who doesn’t know where, then just pretend I didn’t say it.”
"..." Tang Zhao glared at her angrily.
"But the consultant, the person in the surveillance is clearly Tang Zhao." Xiao Liu objected.
"Haven't you encountered the same case before?" Tang Xi asked back.
"Uh..." Xiao Liu was taken aback for a moment, then his gaze changed, "The 129 burglary and homicide case the year before last?"
"I wasn't the 'Tang Xi' who killed Tang Jing back then, and it might not be 'Tang Zhao' who took Tang Jing away now." Tang Xi said flatly.
"But... such a low-probability event, will there be such a coincidence?" Xiao Liu muttered.
On the one hand, Tang Zhao looked at Tang Xi with complicated eyes.
At the beginning, he heard that his younger sister who had been favored since childhood was replaced by the wrong one, and he was particularly repulsed by this girl who should be his own sister. He seemed to have never given her a good face in his memory, but he did not expect that today, even his mother and When the police doubted him, the only person who still believed was Tang Xi.
"It's not a coincidence, because Tang Jing was originally related." Tang Xi said.
"Consultant, what should we do?" Xiao Liu asked, "If it is of the same nature as the 129 case, where should we start the investigation?"
"Let's join the case." Tang Xi sneered.
Before she saw that "Tang Zhao", maybe she thought there was a possibility of a coincidence, but now... the person who took Tang Jing away was probably the one who taught her to change her soul in the previous life. The seeds I planted have blossomed and bear fruit, and of course I will come to pick the fruit.
"Okay." Xiao Liu exhaled.
If the case were left to him--it would be impossible.
"So, Jingjing will be fine?" Yang Wenqiu asked.
"The police will do their best." Tang Xi said formulaically.
"Xixi..." Yang Wenqiu moved his lips, but he didn't say the words after all.
"Ms. Yang, you can call me Consultant Tang, Police Officer Tang, Miss Tang, whatever. I don't think I know you well enough to be called nicknames." Tang Xi said indifferently.
Yang Wenqiu's eyes turned red.
"Xiao Liu, send them out and explain the precautions." Tang Xi stood up and said.
"Okay, consultant." Xiao Liu nodded, picked up the document again, and said flatly, "Mr. Tang, you are still suspected. Please do not leave Jiangnan City during this period. If you must go out, you must report to the serious crime team." prepare..."
Tang Xi closed the door of the reception room with his backhand, blocking the sound behind him.
In the entire Tang family, perhaps Yang Wenqiu is the most normal one, but so what? When she was in the hospital, Chu Li called the Tang family, but Yang Wenqiu also didn't come to the hospital to see her. Later she also knew the reason, because Tang Jing hurt her face in the car accident, Yang Wenqiu hurriedly took her to see the best dermatologists and plastic surgeons, for fear of leaving scars on her face.
In comparison, the so-called hospitalization of a biological daughter is not worth mentioning, as long as you pay for a nurse.
Even in the original book, after the death of the original owner, the Tang family's reaction was nothing more than a few sighs, and then continued singing and dancing.
Tang Xi felt that as long as Yang Wenqiu had a little emotional investment in her other than money, she would give her a better ending just once.
Forget it, so be it.
He obviously almost forgot about this family, but he came here again... Tsk, the culprit is really that old man, he must be dragged out and beaten to death!
"Consultant." Xiao Xue greeted as she walked through the big office.
"Xiao Xiao, did the recording get out last night?" Tang Xi asked.
"Well, I simulated the frequency of the audio transmission before, so it shouldn't be discovered." Xiao Xue's eyes sparkled.
"Well, well done." Tang Xi said.
"Consultant, do you want candies?" Xiao Xue opened the drawer and took out a handful of lollipops of various flavors.
"Thank you." Tang Xi picked out a strawberry-flavored one and peeled off the candy wrapper.
Sure enough, you still lack confidence? Was praised by Chu Li, the effect is so good? The whole person is confident and cheerful!
At this moment, the door of the team leader's office opened, and Chu Li and Fu Xiao walked out one after the other.
Fu Xiao lowered his head, with a look of relief that he had finally let go of all the burdens.
"I won't say anything else, you know it by yourself." Chu Li stopped and said calmly.
"I see." Fu Xiao responded in a low voice, completely lost the arrogance of Miss Qianjin before, tightened the small backpack on her body, and walked outside.
"Crack." Xiao Liu opened the door and came out, "That's all, if there is any new progress..."
For a moment, the two groups of people looked at each other.
Although the Fu family is based in Qingjiang City, they are related to the Pei family by marriage, and they also have many properties in Jiangnan City. Tang Zhao and Fu Xiao can't say that they are not familiar with each other. However, meeting in this situation is embarrassing, and no one speaks for a long time.
"Xiao Liu, it's just right, you send them down together." Chu Li said.
"Ah, okay, let's go this way." Xiao Liu was a little puzzled, but he felt that the atmosphere was not very good, so he wiped off his sweat and led the way.
Chu Li looked at their backs and sneered, then looked at Tang Xi who was still sitting on Xiao Xue's table.
Tang Xi slid down the table, smiled at him, and rushed into the office first.
Chu Li glanced around the big office, and saw that everyone was staring at the computer and documents to concentrate on their work. Xiao Xue secretly stuffed the candy back into the drawer.
"Chu Li is the real murderer." Inside, Tang Xi and Pei Qingzhi bit their ears.
"So, it's right not to be afraid of him." Pei Qingzhi continued.
"It seems so." Tang Xi was stunned.
The entire serious crime team is not afraid of Chu Li, apart from her, Su Wanyi is the only one.
"What are you talking about?" Chu Li walked in and closed the door.
"Captain Chu, I want to report." Tang Xi raised her hand obediently.
"Say!" Chu Li was annoyed.
"Remember the 129 case last year?" Tang Xi asked.
"Who is having twins this time?" Chu Li blurted out after being startled.
"Tang Zhao." Tang Xi shrugged, and then said seriously, "Chu Li, last time we judged that the two sides of the mirror should be usable again. I originally thought that they would use this as the last trump card. For example, Said, at the critical moment, you, me, and Tan Ju can all have the ability to reverse the situation in an instant. But... they now use this trump card on Tang Jing, which shows that Tang Jing is far more powerful than we imagined. It's more important to them."
When Chu Li heard this, his eyes became serious.
"Chu Li, I think we need to find someone," Tang Xi said.
"Who?" Chu Li asked.
"Han Zhen." Tang Xi spat out two words.
"What's the use of him?" Chu Li was stunned.
If Han Zhen hadn't been involved in the Lumingshan case, he wouldn't have remembered a student's name.
"If there is anything in Tang Jing that can be coveted by the metaphysics world, there is only one—luck." Tang Xi said calmly, and added in her heart—
As the original book that constitutes this world, Tang Jing, the heroine with both positive and negative sides, bears the fate of this world.
So, if the heroine has it, the hero should also have it. But the person who taught Tang Jing to change his soul may have seen the power of luck in Tang Jing, but he may not know that Han Zhen is the hero of the original book.
Oh, isn't it just luck, if you rob me, I will rob you, no one is afraid of the other.
