The car left the city and went straight to Qingxi Gorge.
After a two-hour drive, Tang Xi was idle and bored. He took the bracelet off his wrist and asked casually, "What kind of residence does Mr. Guicha like?"
"Probably... Ming and Qing courtyards, right? It would be even better if there was a jujube tree in the courtyard." Xie Changan's voice sounded in her heart, "Also, you can call me by my name, I am no longer a ghost. .”
Tang Xi smiled, concentrated her spiritual power on her fingertips, and tried to use her spiritual power as a needle to carve patterns on the beads.
Pei Qingzhi drove very steadily, the road conditions on the expressway were good, and he could barely feel the bumps, which was just a good practice for spiritual power control.
"Isn't it the first time something happened at Qingxi Gorge?" Tang Xi asked.
"This is the third time since the official start of work this month. No one was killed in the first two times." Pei Qingzhi sighed.
"Tell me specifically?" Tang Xi asked.
"The first time was at the beginning of the month, and it was the National Day holiday." Pei Qingzhi thought for a while, and then slowly said, "The construction site just started, and the dormitories for the workers had just been built, and all kinds of machinery and equipment were not in place. The location of the land could not see the highway, and it happened to be blocked by a small hill, so the valley was very dark, and the day was cloudy and there was no moon. The report said that a worker went out to take a urinate in the middle of the night, stepped on the air and fell into the pit. When I broke a leg, I just thought it was a simple accident, so I asked people to pay medical expenses according to work-related injuries, and let people go back to take good care of them."
"Yeah, what next?" Tang Xi responded, and the prototype of a courtyard house appeared on her fingertips.
"Then it was the second time." Pei Qingzhi continued, "A worker didn't pay attention to his feet when he was working, and fell into a pit with two broken ribs—someone really said that there was an evil door at the time, and two people fell into the same place in succession. , and it’s all a bit inexplicable. But that time it was in broad daylight, and the rumors dissipated after two days.”
"And this time?" Tang Xi asked.
"Well, the third time someone fell into the same pit inexplicably, even if I wanted to say it was an accident—it's hard for me to believe it, isn't it?" Pei Qingzhi said helplessly.
Tang Xi didn't speak, turned the bracelet around, admired her work, nodded with satisfaction, and began to draw the jujube tree.
"More importantly, after the second accident, I have asked people to install guardrails around the pit to prevent people from approaching." Pei Qingzhi added, "Because of the two accidents in a row, the workers are very concerned about the pit. It’s a bit secretive, even if you work around during the day, how can you jump over the guardrail and fall to your death when you go out at night.”
"Who knows, maybe it's really haunted." Tang Xi said.
"If yes, does this ghost count as killing people?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
"Not necessarily, you have to go and see to find out." Tang Xi shook her head, took a breath, and blew off the sawdust on the surface of the bracelet.
Exquisite courtyard, lush jujube trees, there are a few stone benches under the tree, and a well next to it.
On a summer night, if you can pick dates and soak in well water to enjoy the coolness, it will be a great joy in life.
The next moment, it was faintly visible that there was a shadow under the jujube tree.
"I think my craftsmanship is pretty good, just tell me what's missing." Tang Xi said with a smile.
"Thank you." Xie Changan responded after a while.
"I have another question. Since there have been two accidents abroad, why don't you just fill in the hole?" Tang Xi asked.
"The pit was not dug by our workers, but it was hollow." Pei Qingzhi replied, "It rained in the mountains for a few days before, and the soil was lost and the pit was formed. The surrounding soil is indeed soft and dangerous, so I didn't ask the workers to fill in immediately, but I wanted to wait until the big machines came in."
"Is that so..." Tang Xi had a bad feeling from the bottom of her heart.
The pit that already existed...
"By the way, what did Chu Li say?" Pei Qingzhi said.
"He told me to keep an eye on the scene first, and then lead people to rush over after he explained what to do." Tang Xi sighed, with a bitter and bitter expression on his face, "I think he wants to beat me very much now."
"Come on." Pei Qingzhi sneered, "He has a troublesome physique himself, so he has the nerve to blame you?"
"Oh?" Tang Xi's eyes lit up, and she looked at him with great interest.
"He... I remember when we were studying, we ran away from study for late night and went out for supper. On the way, when someone was robbed, he rushed to help." Pei Qingzhi laughed, "In the end, he just chased the robber and ran for ten kilometers. , ran to the robbers who were foaming at the mouth and couldn't run away before snatching the bag back. Originally, the matter of returning the bag to the owner was over, but who knew that the owner would not be found after returning. We had no choice but to Take the bag to the nearby police station and explain the situation."
"It's not that simple, is it?" Tang Xi guessed.
If it was just an ordinary act of righteousness, Chu Li must have done a lot of this kind of thing, and Pei Qingzhi remembered it for no reason.
"The police at the police station confirmed the contents of the bag with us face to face, but when we opened the bag, it was filled with heroin, which weighed ten kilograms, enough to be shot dozens of times." Pei Qingzhi said.
Tang Xi twitched the corners of her mouth, she ran into a drug dealer by acting bravely, such luck is against the sky!
"It's not over yet." Pei Qingzhi glanced at her, with a smile in his tone, "We were attacked on the way back to school after finishing the transcripts. But probably because of our two students, the other party was a bit trusting, so we sent Four or five people came, were beaten up by Chu Li, and then dragged back to the police station. Coincidentally, one of them was the brother-in-law of the drug dealer, who followed the clues and raided a drug manufacturing den in one fell swoop, and even appeared on the headline of Jiangnan Daily The headlines are just because the main character is underage and he is also worried about being retaliated against, so the names in the photos are all mosaiced."
Tang Xi said that he didn't want to talk.
Playing truant from school and eating supper can lead to a shocking case. In the future, don't say that she has the physique of Conan, who is so embarrassing.
Talking and laughing, the car has already driven into the Qingxi Gorge area. It's just that the main road leads to the scenic spot, and Pei Qingzhi turned onto a side road.
This road was obviously newly built, with only two lanes, and a layer of yellow sand was sprinkled on the road surface, which should have been sprinkled by transport vehicles coming in and out along the way. Only a street lamp could be seen from a long distance away, and it was gloomy.
"It's so dark today." Tang Xi said.
"It's Shuoyue's relationship." Pei Qingzhi said.
"Suoyue..." Tang Xi frowned, "How far is it?"
"It's right in front." Pei Qingzhi raised his chin, motioning her to look forward.
In the dark mountainous area, there is only one brightly lit place, which is the construction site of Qingxixia Villa Project.
But Tang Xi also knew that although the 18th bend of the mountain road was not far away, in fact, it would take at least 40 minutes to drive around it.
"Is there a fork in the road here?" she asked.
"No, this road was built for this project. It belongs to private territory and can only lead to Qingxixia Villa." Pei Qingzhi said.
"There is no city surveillance, right?" Tang Xi confirmed.
"There is monitoring, but it has not been activated yet, and the monitoring files will only exist in Pei's family in the future." Although Pei Qingzhi didn't understand her intentions, he still answered with all his heart.
"Very good." Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and started to shrink into inches.
No witnesses, no monitoring, and an insider next to her—why did she spend forty minutes in the car
Therefore, Pei Qingzhi was shocked to find that the lamp that was still dangling in the distance was getting closer and closer the next moment. Although he was walking on a winding mountain road, it seemed as if he was ignoring the terrain and driving straight past. .
In less than five minutes, the car had stopped at the gate of the construction site.
"Wasting time is wasting life." Tang Xi said solemnly.
Pei Qingzhi raised his forehead, but he's seen ghosts before, this... well, it's not so unbelievable.
The two got out of the car and walked into the construction site. Waiting for the door was a fat man in his forties, with a beer belly, constantly wiping his sweat, while walking around in place. When he saw them, he almost rushed over: " Mr. Pei! You've come!"
"This is Gao Zhengguan, the person in charge of the construction site here." Pei Qingzhi turned his head and said something, but obviously did not intend to introduce the other side.
"Hello." Tang Xi nodded indifferently.
"Uh... okay, miss." Gao Zhengguan was stunned for a moment, and quickly apologized with a smile, but his expression was very strange.
Boss Pei rushed over in the middle of the night and brought a female high school student—because of the parents' association, Tang Xi was still wearing the autumn school uniform of No. 1 High School. However, Pei Qingzhi didn't intend to introduce him, and he could only swallow his doubts.
"Where's the person?" Pei Qingzhi asked while striding in.
"I was afraid that there would be another accident, so I gathered the workers in the cafeteria so that the police could interrogate them." Gao Zhengguan wiped his sweat again, and said with a mournful face, "As for the corpse... it's still in the pit. No one dared to move."
"How to say?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
"Let's go to that pit first." Tang Xi replied.
Gao Zhengguan's words were held back, and he realized that the boss was not asking him, but when he realized it, he was shocked again: "Mr. Pei, it's not easy to walk on the construction site tonight, and it's a corpse. This...is it inconvenient?" ?”
"It's okay, you wait here. The criminal police from the serious crime team will come over later and take them to the cafeteria." Pei Qingzhi waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to follow.
Gao Zhengguan stared at their backs dumbfounded, and was speechless: "Take the little girl to see the dead body in the middle of the night... Boss Pei, your operation is so lonely, okay?"
"Are you familiar with this place?" Tang Xi asked casually.
"It's okay." Pei Qingzhi said, "I came here to inspect it myself, so be careful where you step."
Tang Xi almost stepped in the air a few times, and was very upset. Because no one was there, she simply opened ghost pupils for herself, and the scene in front of her suddenly became clear.
"Your eyes, aren't some kind of Taoism?" Pei Qingzhi asked curiously.
"Well, it's natural." Tang Xi smiled.
The ghost pupil brand was engraved into her soul, even if she changed the world and changed her body, she still brought it with her. At the beginning, she was abandoned by her biological parents, mostly because she couldn't control herself when she was a baby, and I don't know if her parents were afraid of her silver pupils, or... simply thought that the color of her eyes was not her own. of
However, it was also because of Guitong that she was born with powerful spiritual power, and she skyrocketed as soon as she entered the Taoist sect.
"Are you afraid?" Tang Xi leaned over on purpose.
"What are you afraid of?" Pei Qingzhi was helpless, "These days, blue, red, purple eyes are not uncommon, and silver is not so strange. If you walk on the street like this, there may be women who want to ask you where you bought them. Contact lenses."
Tang Xi shrugged.
Well, it is true that times have changed. It would be no wonder if Ghost Tong appeared in the world a few decades ago, and people would not be regarded as monsters.
"It's just ahead." Pei Qingzhi pointed her in the direction.
Tang Xi looked up, her expression changed suddenly, she grabbed his hand and stood where she was.
"What's wrong?" Pei Qingzhi looked at her suspiciously.
"There's something wrong in front, and it's very cloudy. I'll go ahead." Tang Xi let go.
Pei Qingzhi closed his left eye and only looked at it with his right eye. Sure enough, what he had vaguely thought to be night mist became clearer, and he couldn't help saying to himself, "Is that Yin Qi?"
"I think, before you choose a site, you really should ask a reliable Feng Shui master to have a look." Tang Xi sighed.
"Very serious?" Pei Qingzhi's heart tightened.
"The feng shui of this place is actually good." Tang Xi said, "Feng shui is actually not that mysterious. It's like a residential building. If it's backlit, damp, and windy, the people living in it will definitely not be comfortable. In other words, feng shui It's not much better. On the contrary, a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, where the wind gathers energy and looks refreshing, even if the feng shui is not perfect, it certainly won't be a bad place. Even an ordinary person can judge these things."
Pei Qingzhi thought about her words for a while, and nodded in agreement: "At the beginning, when I saw this place for the first time, I felt comfortable. I thought that if I built a house here, I would be happy to live there."
"That's right, it's just... there's something wrong with this place. It could have been avoided if an expert had given me some pointers." Tang Xi said.
"What's the problem?" Pei Qingzhi's heart tightened.
"There are tombs here." Tang Xi replied simply, "I didn't see the tombstone, it may have been moved in the course of historical changes, but your luck is really bad, the people in this tomb definitely did not die normally, you guys When he was flattening the land, he was disturbed again, and he was full of resentment."
"Then what should we do? Override?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
Tang Xi had already stood by the edge of the pit and looked down. She didn't know if it was because of the darkness. The pit, which was originally only two meters deep, was dark, as if it was the entrance to an abyss, and the bottom could not be seen at a glance.
There are simple handrails set up by the workers beside the pit, but a section of them fell to the side, and the soil layer beside the pit still has traces of struggle when someone slid down.
"It's strange to say that this pit is only two meters deep, and the bottom is also soft soil. Even if you fall headfirst, you may not die, let alone if you slide down." Pei Qingzhi stood behind her and said, "The ones that fell in the first two times It's just a broken bone, this time... I really don't know what kind of posture it is to fall to die directly."
"Then we'll have to wait for the forensic doctor to come." Tang Xi shrugged and drew a spell to disperse the entangled Yin Qi in the air, and snorted coldly, "Get away!"
Yin Qi seemed to flinch a bit, circled in the air, and shrank back silently.
"It...is conscious?" Pei Qingzhi asked in surprise.
"It's not consciousness, it should be called instinct—no matter what kind of creature, as long as it can move, the most direct instinct is fear." Tang Xi explained, touched the bracelet on his hand, and ordered, "Su Huang , go down and have a look."
"Understood." Su Huang's figure flashed and jumped into the pit.
What's strange is that in the pit that is only two meters deep, Su Huang is wearing a striking red dress, but she can't see the red color at all from above, as if she was swallowed by the abyss.
"Su Huang?" Tang Xi called out.
It was silent.
After waiting for a long time, just when Tang Xi couldn't help but want to blow up the big hole with his hands, Su Huang finally floated up from the hole, but his figure was much dimmed.
Tang Xi's complexion changed, and a wave of spiritual power wrapped her in the middle, pulling her back to the Soul Cultivation Pearl in an instant.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Su Huang's voice was a little tired, "Xiaoxi, go back first, come back during the day, there is something weird down here."
Tang Xi asked a few more questions, but she could no longer hear the answer. She only knew through the contract that Su Huang was very weak and fell into a deep sleep.
"Understood." She took a breath and turned back, "Let's go, go and see your workers, I have something to ask, Chu Li should come too."
"En." Pei Qingzhi responded.
Because he already had the experience of walking over, Tang Xi put one hand on his shoulder, started to shrink the ground into an inch, stepped to the gate of the construction site, and directly jumped over the dirt road full of pits and pits.
Sure enough, Gao Zhengguan was gone, and there was another car at the door.
"This way." Pei Qingzhi led her to the cafeteria on the other side, and before reaching the door, she heard Chu Li's roar, sounding in a bad mood.
"Xiaoxi!" Su Wanyi waved to her.
"Sister Wanyi." Tang Xi hugged her arm affectionately, and whispered, "Why are you so irritable?"
"Can you not be irritable?" Su Wanyi glanced at Chu Li who was asking the question, and whispered to her, "Thousands of parents and students of Jiangnan No. 1 High School were kidnapped, the famous principal Bai Dongmei of our city died on the spot, and Bureau Tan ran away in the middle of the night Go back to the office for a meeting, and then you call the police and find the dead body... You better be careful, don't touch him."
Tang Xi couldn't help sticking out her tongue.
It sounds pretty miserable.
"Forensic Doctor Su has worked hard too." Pei Qingzhi answered.
"I'm actually fine." Su Wanyi smiled wryly before saying, "I can't do anything about the ashes in the fish pond anyway, Principal Bai's corpse, Team Chu just pulled me in as a cover, but what about the corpse here? "
"It probably won't look good." Tang Xi gave an early warning.
Falling to death from a two-meter pit is definitely not an ordinary way of death, and it may have to challenge the psychological bottom line of forensic medicine.
"I've seen too many unsightly corpses." Su Wan didn't take it seriously.
While speaking, Chu Li had strode over and asked directly, "How is the situation? Can we do an autopsy overnight?"
"Tomorrow is recommended." Tang Xi blinked at him, "It's too dark, the lighting is not enough, and it is easy to cause secondary accidents."
Chu Li was startled, and quickly realized the subtext in her words, and his face turned dark immediately.
Sure enough, as long as Tang Xi's case is involved, hell will happen!
"Captain Chu, it's very late today, why don't I make arrangements to stay here and rest for a night before making plans." Pei Qingzhi said.
"Alright." Chu Li thought for a while and nodded.
"Don't forget to ask me for leave tomorrow." Tang Xi sighed.
It's almost the final exam. I'm really worried. I have to make up lessons when I go back.
Chu Li scratched his head, and said helplessly: "No need, your school has such a big event tonight, if you can't attend class tomorrow, it will be suspended this week."
"Oh." Tang Xi heaved a sigh of relief.
It's okay, it's okay, if he asks for leave again, Mr. Wu Hai's hair will probably turn gray, so it would be best if he doesn't have to irritate him anymore!
Gao Zhengguan ran over with a wink, because the construction site was newly built, and there were still workers who hadn't entered the site, so the dormitories were vacant. Although the sheets and bedding were standard items, Pei's would not treat the workers harshly, and the materials were solid and sufficient. Warm and brand new.
Tang Xi and Su Wanyi shared a room, and Chu Li and Xiao Liu settled down in a room. Pei Qingzhi also ordered the workers to go back to their rooms and sleep, and not to go out if they had nothing to do.
Of course, there is no need for guards, and there is no car. This col is an open secret room. It is too unreliable to walk to a place with people on two legs.
Because they came here in a hurry, and no one brought a change of clothes. Fortunately, Tang Xi can't afford to suffer. As a forensic doctor, Su Wanyi lived in a more difficult environment when going out with the team. The two fought a little After washing my face with hot water, I fell asleep with my clothes on.
The next morning, he was woken up by the sound outside.
"What?" Tang Xi, who had just walked into the cafeteria and was about to have breakfast, heard that Chu Li had taken people to remove the corpse at dawn. Naturally follow closely.
The sight line is good in broad daylight, and a group of people can be seen around the pit from a distance.
Pei Qingzhi called a few brave workers to help, and now he removed all the surrounding railings, and Chu Li walked around the pit twice, thoughtfully.
"How's it going?" Tang Xi trotted two steps to come to him.
"I think it's a bit strange." Chu Li said.
"What's wrong?" Tang Xi asked in confusion.
Perhaps it was due to the sunshine, the yin and darkness of last night were all dispelled, the body was warm, and the situation at the bottom of the pit was clearly visible. A young man was lying on the bottom of the pit in an extremely strange posture, obviously , who can bend the body to this angle, absolutely cannot be a living person, and should have died on the spot.
"Come here." Chu Li pulled her to the place where the man slid down, squatted down, pointed to the flattened drag mark, and whispered, "This mark is not so much that he stepped on the space and slid down. It's like... suddenly being dragged down by someone's ankle."
"Are you serious?" Tang Xi looked at him.
"The dragging force is stronger, so the soil layer is more compacted, and there are some messy marks on both sides, as if they were scratched by fingers." Chu Li said.
"But when you slide down, you will subconsciously want to grab something to fix it." Tang Xi said.
"The slope here is not too steep. If it's just a slip, such a deep scratch should be enough to stabilize the body. At worst, it can also slow down the speed of the fall. It is impossible to fall directly into that ghostly appearance." Chu Li affirmed.
"Okay." Tang Xi nodded.
She is an amateur in trace inspection, so it is better to agree with the professional judgment of the police.
She called Su Huang several times in her heart, but she still didn't get an answer. It can be seen that Su Huang suffered a lot of injuries down there last night, but if she didn't wake up, no one would know what happened to her.
"Xiao Liu, come down with me, and bring the corpse up first." Chu Li greeted, and in order not to destroy the traces, he went around to the other side of the pit.
Su Wanyi handed them a body bag, and methodically spread plastic paper on the flat ground nearby, and prepared various tools.
Tang Xi felt that she couldn't intervene. After thinking for a while, she turned and came to Pei Qingzhi: "Where are the workers who were with the deceased last night? I'll talk to them."
"They have already been asked to wait in the meeting room." Pei Qingzhi said very well.
Tang Xi gave him a thumbs up, and finally took a last look at the big hole that looked so ordinary during the day.
If it was dragged down... then what's down there
Ghost? monster? or something else
