When Tang Xi returned to the Mortuary Hall, the door had already been opened, and Cheng Huaying and Chu Li were worrying about the corpse lying on the ground.
Some of these corpses are old people who died recently. It is inconvenient for various reasons to stay at home, so they are stored in the funeral home and wait in line for cremation. Two of them died accidentally, and their family members cannot be found for the time being, or their family members have not yet arrived from other places. The police have even stored the body of a homeless man who died because of his bravery many years ago, but the specific identity has never been found. It's okay when it's in the freezer, but once these old corpses are out of the freezer for too long... In addition, there was one who was hit by a car and crushed to death. , now one right hand fell off.
When the staff of the funeral home go to work early tomorrow morning, let's not talk about their reaction when they see the mess, right now, can't the corpse just lie on the ground like this
"I will definitely not move it for you, Comrade Policeman!" Cheng Huaying stepped back a few steps with a firm expression.
"I'm an injured patient!" Chu Li said confidently.
The blood on his back had faintly seeped out of the jacket, obviously the wound had burst.
"Then ask your subordinates to come in." Cheng Huaying refused to budge.
"Don't make trouble, my legs are weak." Tang Xi walked over.
Chu Li looked at her, opened his mouth, but didn't speak.
"Promise me two things, and I'll help you get these corpses back." Tang Xi raised his right hand, raised two fingers, and said bluntly.
"Say it!" Chu Li's eyes lit up.
"First, go to the hospital. At least five days." Tang Xi flexed a finger expressionlessly.
"..." Chu Li twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Hahahaha..." Cheng Huaying laughed loudly, "You have such a temper, finally saw someone who can cure you, very good!"
"Okay, what about the second one?" Chu Li rolled his eyes, feeling hopeless.
"You'll find out in a few days." Tang Xi said, "Captain Chu is the people's police, so you can't count your words, huh?"
"Okay, you old man, do it quickly, you're panicking!" Chu Li said helplessly.
"Yunqi." Tang Xi snapped his fingers.
So, with the faint sound of the flute, the corpses that had already lost their power climbed up again conscientiously, lined up, and walked to the morgue. The man in the car accident even picked up the left arm that fell off and tried to put it back , I tried a few times and couldn't fix it, so I had to hold it in my hand.
The three living people followed behind, watching the corpses walk back obediently, compared the photos posted on the refrigerator, found their own, climbed in and lay down.
"Bah!" Yun Qi waved his sleeves one last time, his resentment formed a coercion, and instantly pushed all the freezers back to their original positions.
"It's done, remember your promise." Tang Xi turned around and said, "Are you going to the hospital by yourself or should I call 120 for you?"
"I'll go by myself." Chu Li blacked out.
"Good boy." Tang Xi then showed a smiling face, walked up to him, stood on tiptoe, reached out to touch the top of his hair, and muttered, "Why are you so tall?"
"I'm not your cat!" Chu Li's face turned dark.
"Cat?" Cheng Huaying was puzzled.
"The stray cat I rescued, a Chinchilla, has been hurt by others and is timid." Tang Xi shrugged and said indifferently, "If a stranger comes to the house, it will not come out, and it will hide for a while. I can't even find it."
"Really?" Cheng Huaying frowned slightly.
He didn't feel the existence of other living things in Tang Xi's house before, even a cat would be angry. Could it be because the anger is too weak, and there are too many ghosts and ghosts in her house, so it is covered up? After all, he didn't stay for long, so it's hard to say.
"Mr. Cheng likes cats?" Tang Xi's reaction to him was a little strange.
"Probably." Cheng Huaying smiled, and wrote lightly, "I used to like to feed wild cats when I was in college. If you shout, you can form a gang and a large group will come."
When the three returned to the farewell hall, Xiao Liu saw them as if they were seeing relatives, and tears filled his eyes.
Cheng Huaying dealt with the memory of Manager Qiu, and asked, "Xiao Chu, you, a team member, do you need me to help him forget?"
"No, no, it's better to remember!" Xiao Liu hurriedly said.
"I'm afraid I still need to remember? It's easier to forget." Tang Xi suggested.
Xiao Liu gritted his teeth, puffed his chest out and said, "I, I am also a policeman! If this kind of thing happens again in the future, at least, I will be able to resist it!"
"Young man is not bad." Cheng Huaying patted him on the shoulder appreciatively.
On the other side, Chu Li was really helpless: "You said that I haven't encountered any supernatural events in my life at the age of twenty-eight. How come I have been seeing ghosts every day since I met you?"
"Don't worry, we will meet more in the future." There was a trace of pity in Tang Xi's eyes.
She can be sure that there is a powerful and difficult organization behind that "Ah Qiang", and since Chu Li has already intersected with this circle, it will not be so easy to get out. Either you die or I live.
Chu Li also understood what he meant, scratched his hair, and was irritable.
He can organize an undercover agent overseas for several years, destroy his old nest in one fell swoop, and subdue the vicious criminals with his bare hands, but what should he do when the opponent is not human? Guns... Are ghosts afraid of bullets
"Take it." Tang Xi sighed, took off the shell clavicle chain around his neck and gave it to him, and said earnestly, "Captain Chu, my life is important, so why don't you dislike it. It's the shell that works anyway. If you really dislike women If you are angry, knock all the broken diamonds next to it, just don't hurt the shells."
"Knocked?" Chu Li was startled, "Hundreds of thousands!"
"The amulets I made with my own hands, which can be used by ordinary people, are not disposable. Don't say hundreds of thousands, there are millions of them, so people are vying for them!" Tang Xi said angrily.
"..." Chu Li took the necklace, compared it, hung it around his left wrist twice, and covered it with his sleeve.
"I'll take you back." Cheng Huaying stepped forward.
"Ah, by the way, I forgot about Cheng Yihang." Tang Xi suddenly realized, and quickly sent a message, "I'll ask him to go upstairs and wait for me."
"The kid has the key to your house?" Cheng Huaying was startled.
"Someone opened the door for him." Tang Xi looked up, looking at him like an idiot.
Well, there are ghosts.
Cheng Huaying shook her head, walked towards her car, and said, "Xiao Chu, I will hand over my ticket to you, at least to rescue the people's police."
"Bye bye~ Go to the hospital by yourself, I will do random checks." Tang Xi jumped into the car happily.
On the way back, Cheng Huaying didn't go racing any more, and felt much more relaxed.
"By the way." Tang Xi suddenly remembered a matter that had been pressing down in her heart, and asked, "Mr. Cheng is also well-informed, have you ever heard that anyone who wants to harm others will kill people's souls?" Pull it out and put it in a puppet?"
"Puppet?" Cheng Huaying frowned, thought for a while, and his face became serious, "What kind of puppet?"
"At my house." Tang Xi said immediately after seeing his expression.
"I'll tell you after I've seen it." Cheng Huaying said, speeding up the car silently, stepping on the bottom line of speeding, passing several private cars in a row, and returning to Fengya Jiangnan.
Go upstairs and swipe the card to open the door, and then see Cheng Yihang sitting cross-legged in the living room on the floor booth dedicated to Yueyue playing Lego with the little girl.
Of course, Cheng Yihang, who didn't open his eyes, was actually playing with the air.
"When I was young, I could howl for a long time in a small dark room, but now I'm more courageous?" Cheng Huaying cursed with a smile.
"Just get used to it." Cheng Yihang shrugged, got up and sat down on the sofa, "So, why did you two suddenly leave me here?"
"Go and do what is right." Cheng Huaying replied casually.
Cheng Yihang rolled his eyes.
"Mr. Cheng, sit down for a while." Tang Xi hung the small bag and coat on the coat rack, entered the bedroom, and quickly took out two things.
A puppet, the one containing Pei Qingzhi's living soul.
The two seals were removed from the gate of the haunted house.
Cheng Huaying picked up the puppet first, groped it carefully, and finally let out a breath after a long time: "This is the puppet of bad luck."
"A doll of misfortune?" Tang Xi repeated in doubt.
"It's inevitable if you don't know." Cheng Huaying put the puppet back on the coffee table, with a somewhat apprehensive look on his face, "This is the inheritance of a branch of the Miao nationality in Guizhou. When I was young, I went to Guizhou for inspection, and I strayed into the mountains and got lost. I just discovered the ethnic group hidden in the mountains. There are only more than a hundred of them, and the number is still decreasing year by year. It is very likely that in another hundred years, they will cease to exist. The doll of doom, I spent the night there discovered at the time."
"The name doesn't sound like a good thing." Tang Xi frowned.
"You are a celestial master, so you should also understand that if an innocent soul is scattered without sin, it will be contaminated with karma, and in the end the heaven will settle with you." Cheng Huaying said in a deep voice.
"Not bad." Tang Xi nodded.
"The function of the doll of misfortune, just as the name expresses, can make the person who carries it suffer from bad luck." Cheng Huaying pondered for a while before saying, "For this thing to work, there must be a soul in it for sacrifice. Now it is Empty, have you pulled out the soul inside?"
"Yes." Tang Xi nodded, "I thought he was noisy, so I caught him out and stuffed him into Hello Kitty."
"..." The expression on Cheng Huaying's face was somewhat indescribable.
"However, after I sent this living soul back to his body, part of his memory was missing. Is it because of the doom puppet?" Tang Xi asked.
"You actually sent the soul back?" Cheng Huaying was dumbfounded.
"Is there... a problem?" Tang Xi blinked, expressing her incomprehension.
"Maybe I need to re-evaluate your ability." Cheng Huaying adjusted his glasses and explained, "The puppet of misfortune will erode the soul, so it is called a sacrifice. And the sacrificed soul will not attract the attention of heaven, that's it It’s so powerful. It’s really unbelievable that the incomplete soul is sent back to the body, but only lacks memory and is not crazy or stupid.”
"It's because of his own luck, he has meritorious deeds to protect his body." Tang Xi spread his hands.
If it were someone else, it might not be as lucky as Pei Qingzhi.
"Second Uncle, what kind of clan are you talking about? What is the purpose of making this kind of thing? Is it harmful?" Cheng Yihang asked.
"Of course not." Cheng Huaying shook his head, "People who are entangled to death by dolls of misfortune will have their souls sucked into the dolls and cannot escape, just like cultivating venomous poison. The most poisonous centipedes, scorpions, spiders, poisonous snakes, toads Put them into a clay pot, bury them in the ground, let them kill each other, and the last one left is the Gu King. The Doom Doll keeps sucking in souls, let them kill and devour each other, and the most powerful one is left— "
"Nursing Gu. I understand!" Tang Xi suddenly stood up, with bright flames shining in his eyes.
Cheng Huaying reminded her and inadvertently cleared the fog in front of her eyes, allowing her to connect a series of events that happened together.
The closed haunted house raised Yueyue with the grievances of countless ghosts.
A Qiang, who wants to revive his lover, tries to strengthen Anna's soul time and time again.
The fish pond where the ashes were burnt, become one's own strength with the power of will.
Including this doom doll that died without starting work, the purpose is the same. The people behind the scenes want to raise a powerful thing that doesn't know what it is.
"Where did you get this thing?" Cheng Huaying asked.
"I don't know, but I will check." Tang Xi said.
She had tested it before, and Yang Wenqiu, who arranged the room for her, was obviously unaware of the fact that a puppet appeared in her drawer, so one of the remaining people must be related to the person behind the scenes.
The misfortune dolls of the Miao people in the deep mountains, this kind of thing is not easy to get. Compared with Tang Jing's three brothers and sisters, she is more inclined to Tang Zhenying.
Just, why her? She doesn't recall a puppet being mentioned in the original book.
Cheng Huaying picked up two more seals, turned them over and saw the spell drawn on them, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.
"Although I haven't seen this spell before, I can guess its use." Tang Xi said, "I'm just curious. There shouldn't be many people who can draw this spell, right?"
"This rune is mixed with the drawing rules of this part of the Western magic circle. Speaking of it, it is more like a combination of Chinese and Western things. It does not exist on any formation map. It should be a self-created spell." Cheng Huaying's face is not very good. , Pausing for a moment before reluctantly said, "At least I am far from reaching this level. In my impression, I am afraid that there are only a few seniors who are hidden from the world... It is not right. Those old people have studied Chinese studies all their lives, and they hate the West the most. It is impossible to create such a thing. It is impossible for people who do not know enough about Western magic circles to integrate it with Taoist spells."
"From this point of view, it doesn't necessarily have to be from our side. Is it possible that it is a foreigner who has learned our country's Taoism?" Cheng Yihang interjected.
"He's a Chinese, old man." Tang Xi remembered the words of the old ghost of the Republic of China in the haunted house.
Cheng Huaying took out her mobile phone and took a picture of the rune on the seal: "I'll help you pay attention to this matter, and I'll let you know if there's any news."
"They may not be a person, but an organization, so don't act rashly." Tang Xi reminded.
Cheng Huaying was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "Don't worry, I will contact the special department."
Tang Xi didn't say much after hearing the words. Cheng Huaying has gone through ups and downs, he just needs to know the danger of some things, and she doesn't need to remind him what to do.
"Wake up, let's go first." Cheng Huaying hesitated before saying, "Think about what I said before."
"I know, anyway, there is still a long time to consider." Tang Xi smiled.
Cheng Huaying took a deep look at her, and went out with her nephew who was still confused.
Tang Xi sent them to the door, closed the door, and bumped into a fluffy warmth at their feet.
"Meow." The white cat arched her ankles.
"You seem to be elusive." Tang Xi picked up the cat, hugged it in his arms, rubbed it, pointed its head, and said, "What's the use of me raising you? You're the one who hides the fastest when someone comes from home!"
"Meow meow~" The white cat rubbed her affectionately to please her, as if to say, I am a cat not a dog, and I am not in charge of the gate, so is it not enough to be coquettish and cute
Tang Xi sighed, fed it two small dried fishes, and put it down to play by herself.
Yun Qi appeared and walked through the closed door and glass door in silence.
Tang Xi then followed him to the huge terrace.
From here, you can overlook most of Jiangnan City. The lights of thousands of houses are so bright that they almost make the stars and moon in the sky dim.
Yun Qi was sitting on top of the swing frame, his flute was playing melodiously, and his expression was focused. It's a pity that the background is too modern and out of place.
Tang Xi simply sat on the swing chair, swayed slightly, and looked up at him.
"That woman..." Yun Qi finally spoke.
"No need." Tang Xi interrupted him.
"Don't you want to ask me why I made a mistake?" Yun Qi was startled.
"You made a mistake. It's not a problem if you didn't catch someone." Tang Xi said indifferently, "I just want to know, if there is another time, will you stand there stupidly and hurt yourself?"
"I..." Yun Qi was speechless.
For a long time, there was silence on the terrace.
Suddenly, Yun Qi's figure turned into a streamer and returned to the Soul Cultivation Pearl.
Tang Xi tipped her toes to make the swing swing higher, touched the bracelet with one hand, and sneered: "You think I can't guess if you don't tell me? This kind of dumbfounded reaction has nothing to do with me or yourself. cause of death."
Chin silently, she continued to think.
Yun Qi is a thousand-year-old ghost, and she feels more related to herself than she has crossed time and space.
However, in such a split second, it was too late to even say a word, and all he could see was his face.
Who does that woman look like? No, maybe it's not just a likeness, whose face is it
After a long time, Tang Xi pursed her lips, jumped off the swing, went back to her room and took her pajamas, planning to take a good bath.
So close to the corpse, the diaphragm should!
When we met in the classroom the next day, Cheng Yihang tacitly said nothing.
Instead, she received an unfamiliar account on WeChat requesting to add a friend. She read the information and clicked on it. Soon a message came, and it was Police Officer Xiao Liu: The consultant is amazing! Team Chu, which claims to be lightly injured, actually asked the director for a week off this morning, and obediently went to the hospital!
Tang Xi smiled, and was about to turn off her phone when another WeChat message came in.
The court has accepted it and is waiting for a phone call. The Tang family may look for you—Pei Qingzhi.
Tang Xi pondered for a while, immediately packed her schoolbag, went to the teacher, and asked for another week's leave on the grounds that she had something to do at home.
Although Wu Hai was not very happy, but because Tang Xi's vacation last week was handled by the police force, it was not easy to ask her about "something" and could only agree.
Tang Xi left school and didn't go home, so she went to the city bureau.
Chu Li is not here, and the serious crime team is now led by Xiao Liu. Since seeing the horror scene of Biochemical Lost City and Tang Xi's magical ability last night, Xiao Liu has completely become a die-hard fan of Tang Xi. Girlfriends are more attentive.
Tang Xi borrowed Chu Li's office to block the sight of others, and then asked, "What did you find at the funeral home yesterday?"
"Oh, we checked the cremated corpses within half a year." Xiao Liu took out a notebook, opened the notes, pointed to a line of writing and said, "These are corpses that have no family members and are cremated corpses sent by government agencies. The kind that won’t attract attention if the ashes are lost.”
"Hey, I actually wanted to ask a question before." Tang Xi propped her chin with both hands, "Have you ever seen ashes?"
"Ah?" Xiao Liu was stopped by the question, his mouth opened wide.
"The incarnation furnace in the crematorium does not really burn the human body to powder." Tang Xi said.
Xiao Liu instinctively wanted to ask how did you know, but immediately remembered that Tang Xi's grandma was sent away by herself, so she choked back her words.
Originally speaking of ashes and ashes, he intuitively thought that the urn was filled with dust. After all, the staff of the crematorium pushed the corpse in, and what they took out was the urn. No matter how deep their feelings were, most people would not open the urn to take a look at it—tsk, thinking about it this way, the direction of their investigation was totally different. its not right!
Most people don't know how to read it. First, they won't find that there are bones left in the urn. Second, even if the urn is replaced with some kind of pig bone or beef bone, ordinary people can't tell the difference. No one knows that the urn has been burnt. What is the difference between a human and a pig!
"However, you were attacked at the funeral parlor, it seems that there is something wrong." Tang Xi said again.
"It's really scary to say, those corpses... Hey, I'm so old that I didn't get scared that much this night." Xiao Liu sighed, "Captain Chu is really powerful. Not only was he not afraid when he saw the corpse crawling out of the freezer, he actually Also... lifted a chair and smashed it over, then dragged me and Manager Qiu and ran away."
Tang Xi laughed dryly, wondering if it was because she told Chu Li that except for invisible ghosts, everything else could be beaten
After thinking about it, she asked again, "What were you doing before the corpse came back to life?"
"Ah?" Xiao Liu was stunned, scratched the back of his head, thought for a while before he said uncertainly, "We were checking the unclaimed corpse in the morgue... By the way! Team Chu took the seal of the freezer Rip it off!"
"Where's the seal?" Tang Xi said sharply.
"Ah? Probably...in the evidence room?" Xiao Liu said, "It was supposed to be posted back, but it was too chaotic at the time. Team Chu kept holding on to the seal and brought it back to the bureau, so it was temporarily placed in the evidence room." , I'll get it!"
"Thank you." Tang Xi nodded.
"Do you think it has something to do with that?" Yun Qi asked.
"I've been allergic to seals recently." Tang Xi curled her lips, "Besides, it's definitely not accidental that woman appeared in the funeral home."
Soon, Xiao Liu trotted back all the way: "Consultant, this is it!"
Tang Xi took the seal and turned it to the other side—it was blank.
no? She didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.
Just as she picked up the seal and wanted to return it to Xiao Liu, suddenly, Su Huang appeared beside her and held her hand: "Wait a minute."
Since Xiao Liu was beside her, Tang Xi didn't speak, but looked at her suspiciously.
"It has a smell." Su Huang leaned over to smell it, and said in a deep voice, "It's very faint, but... it's indeed that woman's perfume."
Tang Xi clenched the seal tightly, and with spiritual power on his fingers, he slowly wiped across the blank space.
Faintly, blood-colored runes appeared in front of her eyes, but as her spiritual power dissipated, the runes also disappeared.
"This, what is this?" Xiao Liu felt creepy.
"Fox's tail." Tang Xi looked up, showing a smile that was sure to win.
