"Right... "I'm sorry." I couldn't say anything, just apologized.

I should have taken Li Xing back to his hotel room yesterday. Perhaps that would be useless as the other party wasn't a human after all.

I wrote down the address Yang Chen gave me and called senior brother Zuming, asking him to help me contact Yin Tongtian.

When he saw Yang Chen, he looked completely different compared to the day before. His eyes were bloodshot, and a beard emerged from his cheeks. He no longer looked like the elite man from before.

Although he was anxious, he wasn't irritable. He was still very polite to me. I could feel him blaming me. After all, I was the one who brought him out.

I didn't tell him the details. I just said I'd found someone. The police also said that the case was being handed over, and very quickly, Yin Tongtian arrived at the police station and took us away.

In the car, Yin Tongtian didn't rush to ask me what was going on. When we arrived at the special investigation office where he worked, he sent someone to take Yang Chen away first before leading me to his office.

With all due respect, a normal person would never step into his office. There was no way in, no way in — the floor was littered with open books.

Yin Tongtian waved his hand, and the books on the floor disappeared. He smiled apologetically at me. "I received a call from Zuo Wuji, so I rushed over. I didn't have time to pack up."

I told the details to Yin Tongtian. After he finished listening, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

Yin Tongtian thought for a long time and found the time hotel video I told him about. He searched for an hour, but there was nothing I could find.

He asked me for the number of the car I was driving and I was asked to check it out. The driver said I was the only one in the car, and after seeing me off, he went to pick up other orders.

Could it be that I've left Li Xing by the sea?

Yin Tongtian called senior apprentice brother Zuo Ming, and we went to the seaside together.

The two of them stood where Wang Bin appeared yesterday and said that they did not feel any resentment. Yin Tongtian even directly sat down on the beach, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

We waited all the way until night. Zuoshi Ge even tried summoning a soul, but to no avail.

Returning empty-handed, we went straight back to the Special Investigation Department. Yang Chen's eyes reddened when he saw us, and tears fell from his eyes.

Yintong led us to his office, got us each a cup of tea, and closed the door.

"What kind of business does Mr. Yang's family do? I smell Mr. Yang's body. It seems to have a very strange smell. " Yin Tongtian did not mention the matter he was looking for and instead, he began to chat with Yang Chen about something else.

Holding the tea in his palm, Yang Chen took a sip. "The ancestors did spice business, and now the main products are perfume, skincare and the like."

"No wonder the fragrance on Mr. Yang's body is coming from the inside, this is the smell from the bones." Yin Tongtian changed the subject, "But, I want to know, why does Li Xing also have that kind of fragrance that comes from his bones?"

"Li Xing …" Yang Chen didn't seem to want to say it, he wanted to say something but hesitated, "Maybe it's because you've been with me for too long."

This is strange, Yin Tongtian must have never seen Li Xing before, moreover, I didn't smell anything from Li Xing's body.

"Mr. Yang's smell is completely different from Li Xing's. Can you explain why?"

Yin Tongtian's words were overbearing and aggressive. Yang Chen's hands trembled as he held onto his teacup. I... I don't know what you're talking about. Where is she? Why didn't she come back with you? "

Yang Chen placed the teacup on the table and stood up excitedly, "Bring me to her quickly, I need to bring her home quickly!"

"She won't be able to return home …" Yin Tongtian let out a long sigh, "I hope you can tell me the truth. Did you already know that Li Xing is not human when you first met her?"

This was the first time Yang Chen met Li Xing, and Li Xing was no longer a human? What does that mean? Is there something wrong with my ears?

Listening to Yin Tongtian's words, Yang Chen sat back down on the sofa and mumbled, "No, the first time I saw her was ten years ago when she was still a little girl …"

When Yang Chen had just finished his university entrance examinations, his family had asked him to study abroad so that he could come back to inherit his family business. However, Yang Chen was obsessed with spice. He had followed a spice master in the country and refused to enter his family's hospital.

He had sneaked out of his house, but the moment he stepped out, his wallet had been stolen. He had no money and no ID certificate, so he didn't want to go home.

A month later, when he wanted to pay, the restaurant owner mocked him and called him out. Coincidentally, it was seen by Li Xing and her father. They sent Yang Chen to the hospital and contacted his family.

After this incident, both Yang Chen and his family took a step back. Yang Chen agreed to study abroad, and his family agreed to let him focus on managing businesses while not giving up on spices.

When he finished his studies and returned home, he did not return to his home company, but went to work for Li Xing's father. Although Li Xing's father no longer remembered him, he felt that he should stay.

Li Xing's father was getting more and more interested in Han Qian, and he proposed to marry Li Xing Xing, so he agreed without much hesitation.

When he saw Li Xing, he already felt that Li Xing wasn't a person and would probably disappear very soon. But at the same time, he discovered that Li Xing was the lover he wanted.

In Yang Chen's house, there was an ancestral spice. If ghosts ate cold, they could achieve the effects of soul gathering and soul calming. Therefore, Yang Chen took the initiative to contract three meals a day from Li Xing, all for the sake of feeding Li Xing spices every day.

After listening to all of this, I was filled with emotion. However, my head was filled with fog. 'What is going on here?' When did Li Xing die? How come I don't know anything at all?

Yin Tongtian let out another long sigh, and said, "There is a type of death where everyone thinks you're dead. There is a kind of life where no one knows that you are dead. "

He smelled the spice on the beach. While Yang Chen was together with Li Xing, his body was also stained with the same scent. Yin Tongtian, on the other hand, was able to smell a scent he had smelled on the beach.

Therefore, Yin Tongtian chose to wait on the beach and saw whether or not Li Xing's soul would appear at night.

At night, Li Xing's soul finally appeared.

However, Yin Tongtian realized that even I and senior apprentice brother Zuoming couldn't see it. Only he himself could see Li Xing's soul.

Yin Tongtian tried to communicate with Li Xing's soul and found out that the soul was just like a puppet. It didn't have any consciousness, so Yin Tongtian thought that perhaps we were wrong from the very root.
