Chapter 144：

"This is...what's wrong with me?" Li Qingxue asked, sitting on the ground with a blank face.

Pei Qinghe was full of horror. Even if he didn't know what was going on, as long as he saw how Tang Xi exchanged Li Qingxue's soul, he should know what happened. After all, he had also experienced this kind of soul separation once.

"Hey, Mr. Pei, no matter how urgent you are, you should look at the sign. How can you flush into the women's bathroom? What if someone is inside!" Tang Xiyi said righteously, "Team Chu, I can hinder the weathering Did you arrest Pei Qinghe for the crime?"

"The arrest is a bit serious, detain and educate." Chu Li replied.

"Why? Why do you catch me?" Pei Qinghe said angrily.

"Just because we saw you come out of the women's toilet with our own eyes, do you still deny it?" Tang Xi looked at him with a pair of innocent eyes.

"Didn't you do it!" Pei Qing said peacefully.

"What I did, shouldn't I go into the women's bathroom? Or I let you go? If I let you in, you go?" Tang Xi asked a series of rhetorical questions.

"You, you, you..." Pei Qinghe pointed at her, so angry that he had a heart attack.

"Okay, shut up!" Pei Yuanli said solemnly.

"Dad..." Pei Qinghe turned his head and yelled.

Although Pei Yuanli looked calm, but he didn't know what to do. He had a lot of calculations. He didn't expect Tang Xi to use his son's body to compose his words... Didn't the **** guy still say how difficult it is to exchange souls? But look at Tang Xi, it's just like playing! If there were her unpredictable methods, the Pei family would have been theirs now!

"Well, Mr. Pei, please come with us." Chu Li stepped forward, handcuffed around his fingertips. "Today is after all the Pei’s 50th anniversary celebration. On such an important day, I think you don’t want to be caught. Does the reporter see any bad content that affects the company’s reputation?"

"Fame? Oh, that kind of thing is Pei Qingzhi's, what does it have to do with me?" Pei Yuanli sneered, "Chu Li, with your relationship with Pei Qingzhi, you don't want the Pei's celebration to be forced to end this topic more than I do. Is it on tomorrow's headlines?"

"It seems that there is nothing to talk about." Chu Li didn't change his expression and continued to approach.

Not to mention Tang Xi is there, even if he is alone, he is not afraid that Pei Yuanli will resist arrest.

The most vicious criminals don't even want to escape safely in front of him, let alone Pei Yuanli, who can breathe after a few steps?

"Hey, if you don't come again, don't think about getting better after I go in!" Pei Yuanli raised his head and shouted to the roof.

"Any accomplices?" Chu Li paused.

"I want to see if your comrades dare to come." Tang Xi chuckled, and the figure appeared behind Pei Yuanli ghostly, clasping his wrist.

"What are you doing?" Pei Yuanli's body was tight, but after earning, he found that...he couldn't get rid of this seemingly slender hand.

Tang Xi pulled his hand out of his pocket a little bit.

I saw Pei Yuanli holding a mobile phone in his hand, and the screen displayed "in a call", and the weirdest thing was that it was a black-and-white screen, push-button elderly phone more than ten years ago, and it didn't even have a network. In addition to calling and texting, you can only play with snake-eating antiques.

"Borrow it." Tang Xi tried a little harder.

Pei Yuanli only felt a pain in his wrist, and instinctively let go of his hand, and the phone slipped from his fingers.

"Thank you." Tang Xi took the phone with his left hand and pressed the speakerphone, "Hey, are you listening?"

No one was talking on the other side of the phone, but the call was not cut off either.

"Don't speak? Don't be so shy." Tang Xi smiled.

"..." There was still silence in the phone.

"I can't track it, it's too old-fashioned, unless I send the phone to the letter department now." Chu Li glanced at the sidewalk.

"That's it..." Tang Xi curled up the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a bad smile.

Chu Li said "What do you want to do" still stuck in her throat, and she took out her mobile phone, resolutely called up the file, pressed it to the call port, and played--

In an instant, the passionate heavy metal rock music exploded.

With a beep, the call was cut off decisively.

"Hahaha..." Tang Xi turned off the music and laughed.

It’s unlikely that you can use the hands-free to make this kind of phone calls. If you just put the phone in your ear, it’s okay to talk, but if you use a headset—please ask for your blessings.

"Could you be more naive." Chu Li helped his forehead.

"No matter how naive? Probably not. This is the bottom line." Tang Xi replied casually and threw the phone to Chu Li. "Although it may not be found, the last call number is always a clue."

Chu Li stuffed his pocket casually: "Mr. Pei, please."

At this moment, Tang Xi vaguely felt something wrong: "It's a bit strange."

"What?" Chu Li was startled.

"There was such a big movement just now, no one wanted to see the movement?" Tang Xi looked at the closed side door not far away thoughtfully.

The dance party has not yet started. Although there is background music in it, the volume is not loud in order not to affect everyone's conversation, and the soundproofing of a door will not be so good. Even if the guests inside do not come out in person because of their identities, someone will ask the waiter to come out and have a look.

But now, it is too quiet.

Chu Li noticed her gaze, and immediately reacted, strode over, and opened the door, even staggering because of too much force.

The door that was slammed vigorously slammed into the wall, making a loud noise.

"I thought it would be normal if you couldn't open something?" Chu Li shook his numb hand and muttered.

However, seeing the scene inside, even if he had gone through too many incredible cases, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The music is soft, the lights are warm, the champagne on the table is still bubbling, the dishes containing the self-service fruit and pastries are scattered on the small table, and the air still has the scent of various perfumes mixed together.

No matter how you look at it, there was an activity in which many people participated before, but now, everything is there, but no one can be seen.

It was as if, in an instant, all the people in the hall disappeared, leaving a mess.

"Where is the person?" Pei Qinghe, standing behind Chu Li, exclaimed.

"Mom? Cousin? Grandpa?" Li Qingxue rushed in and shouted.

Even her echo can be heard in the spacious hall.

"Hey, do you think they are missing, or are we?" Chu Li asked without looking back.

"Now, no one can move me to another space without me noticing it." Tang Xi believes.

"So, those who are missing are the people in the hall?" Chu Li had a headache, "It's not as good as we who are missing."

For Pei’s 50th anniversary celebration, almost all celebrities in Jiangnan City were invited. If these people disappeared, let alone Jiangnan City, even the central government would be shocked.

Whose family is not inextricably linked, let alone so many wealthy families, together they are a dense network of relationships.

Tang Xi walked into the hall slowly, stretched out his hand to feel the fluctuation of spiritual power in the hall, and frowned slightly.

"This, this is none of my business..." Pei Yuanli stepped back subconsciously.

"Mr. Pei, I advise you to stand still, or else you are in the same group with the other party, so you are sure that there will be nothing wrong with you?" Tang Xi said slowly.

Pei Yuanli was startled and froze immediately.

On the other side, Chu Li had already started making calls.

"How is it?" Tang Xi asked.

"Outside the circle." Chu Li put down the phone and shook his head.

"Spiritual interference." Tang Xi was not surprised. "To make so many people disappear without a trace, too much power is needed. It will definitely disturb the magnetic field and interfere with communication."

"Can you find someone?" Chu Li sighed.

"I will try." Tang Xi nodded and called out, "Yun Qi."

"No." Yun Qi appeared next to her and shook his head before he asked him, "I can only trace the people and ghosts in the same space as us, but those people are not in the same space with us at the moment. "

"Not in one space?" Tang Xi was startled, thinking, "You mean, it was not that someone took these people away alone, but moved this hall completely to another space?"

"Probably that's what I meant." Yun Qi appreciated her understanding, and said, "Maybe those people don't realize that they are no longer in the original space, as long as no one tries to open the door and go out."

"Then we have to move faster." Tang Xi was helpless.

"What?" Yun Qi was startled.

"Because there are no toilets in the hall." Tang Xi said solemnly, "When there is a need for more champagne, it is too inhumane."

"..." Yun Qi's face was extremely wonderful.

Is this the reason!

What is your ability to focus on key points? Can you pass the Chinese?

"But..." Tang Xi groaned for a while, then said, "There is no need to wait until the door is opened to find out."

Prom hall.

Pei Qingzhi finished talking with a business partner, took a glass of lemonade from the table, drank a mouthful to moisturize his throat, and turned his eyes, but did not see Tang Xi's figure.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was half past six.

Faintly, there seemed to be a wave of anxiety in my heart.

He remembered the invitation that Chu Li had asked him before and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.

He believes that both Chu Li and Tang Xi are measured, but the atmosphere today is always so weird that he has a very bad premonition.

Take a closer look, Pei Yuanli and Pei Qinghe are not there, and Li Qingxue is also not there-Pei Yuan is there, but his face seems a little wrong, and he is absent-minded when talking to people. He looks around as if he is looking for Li Qingxue.

"President Pei." Xiang Jiuming walked over and whispered, "The old man will let you pass."

"Understood, I'll go to the bathroom and go over immediately." Pei Qingzhi nodded and walked around to the side door from behind the crowd.

However, before his hand touched the door frame, he couldn't help froze.

Since discovering the ghost who was following him, he removed the enchanting knot, and now his right eye clearly sees a trace of black resentment penetrating through the crack of the door.

After taking a step back, he took out his phone for the first time and pressed shortcut key 1.

"Beep, beep, beep-the phone number you dialed is temporarily out of service area, please call again later..."

Pei Qingzhi hung up the phone with a serious face. He didn't try to open the Pandora's door that might seal the monster, and immediately turned and walked back to the center of the venue.

"President Pei? What's wrong with you?" Xiang Jiuming asked in surprise.

"Did you take the speech?" Pei Qing asked.

"Of course." Xiang Jiuming nodded in confusion, "Hasn't President Pei already confirmed it?"

"You take the speech, and now go to the stage to speak, at least half an hour." Pei Qingzhi ordered.

"Ah? Huh?" Xiang Jiuming dumbfounded, after a long time, "President Pei, this...this is not...hey, isn't the original plan to start the dance first, and the speech will be summarized in the second half of the party? And this is yours. Work……"

"I said let you go now, don't ask why!" Pei Qingzhi said in a bad mood.

"But this manuscript can be read for up to ten minutes." Xiang Jiuming said again.

"Aren't you a special assistant? Can't respond on the spot? If you don't, you can change!" Pei Qingzhi gritted his teeth, "At least half an hour, I keep talking without stopping, until I can't say anything!"

"..." Xiang Jiuming wanted to cry without tears.

The president is getting more and more weird, what's all this?

"If you can't do it, I'll change to an assistant." Pei Qing said.

"Can you!" Xiang Jiuming wiped his sweat. Nothing matters! Isn't it just a speech? It happens to be the 50th anniversary celebration of Pei’s. Let’s summarize the hardships of starting a business in the past, the difficulties encountered in the middle, and then look forward to the future, just talk about memory and sweetness, whatever you want!

Pei Qingzhi watched him come on stage and adjusted the microphone, slightly relieved.

During the speech, due to etiquette, guests will stay at the scene unless they really cannot bear it, and will not go out to smoke, blow air, or touch up makeup. And now it’s not long since everyone is accustomed to attending banquets. Half an hour, it should be able to drag it over so that people don't notice the strangeness outside, and then it depends on whether Tang Xi can quickly discover the situation here!

Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar figure.

Xiang Jiuming on the stage has already begun to give a speech. Although the guests felt that this was not right with the process, because of their respect for the host, they stopped the topic and listened carefully, applauding from time to time.

Pei Qingzhi quietly walked over and patted the woman's shoulder behind him.

"!"

Su Wanyi turned her head abruptly, only to see that he was relieved: "It's Mr. Pei, who frightened me."

"Why is Legal Doctor Su here?" Pei Qing asked in doubt.

"It's not that Chu Li pulled me as a cover." The expression on Su Wanyi's face was a little distorted, and she pulled her long skirt uncomfortably.

"Chu Li has come? Where is the person?" Pei Qing said.

"Should be with Xiao Xi." Su Wanyi paused, seeing everyone's attention on the stage, and whispered softly, "On our way here, Pei Yuanli and Pei Yuan have already admitted personally that the case of kidnapping you back then , The mastermind is the Fu family."

Pei Qingzhi was silent for a while before speaking with difficulty: "Then...what about my parents?"

Su Wanyi hesitated and told him the content of the video briefly, and then said: "It stands to reason that the case is still under investigation. I shouldn't have told you this, but...hey, it won't feel like waiting for the result. Feel good. This is a violation of the rules, Mr. Pei, don't sell me when the time comes."

"No." Pei Qingzhi curled up the corners of his lips and smiled reluctantly.

"By the way, President Pei, I remember, the process of today's activity is not like this, right?" Su Wanyi said again.

"Something went wrong outside, I asked the assistant to hold off for a while and try to keep people inside." Pei Qingzhi explained.

"No... Team Chu and Xiao Xi, shouldn't they fight with others?" Su Wanyi was shocked, but quickly overthrew her own thoughts, muttering to herself, "How could it be that it was not just to catch a Pei Yuanli," Team Chu and Xiao Xi are together, even if the bodyguards of the same class are nothing to say, what trouble can there be."

"So, does Forensic Doctor Su have other tasks here?" Pei Qingzhi asked.

"Oh, I just asked the Chu team to not immediately alarm the security guards when they came in, and then looked at Pei Yuan by the way." Su Wanyi replied.

Pei Qingzhi thought for a while, but still didn't mention the strangeness outside, only said: "I think Pei Yuan's mental state seems to be a little wrong, so it's okay for Doctor Su to look at her."

"Don't worry, whether it is Team Chu or Xiao Xi, you have always been very concerned about your matter." Su Wanyi said.

"Thank you." Pei Qingzhi nodded at her and walked backstage.

Sudden changes in the process, you have to breathe with Grandpa.

And Su Wanyi looked at his back and couldn't help sighing for a long time.

What about the wealthy and wealthy? It's not that their parents died young and they have no affection. The relatives around him looked at the people with smiles, and they were full of cannibal beasts in their hearts. This life is... not as good as myself.

"Damn! Why can't I get through! Answer the phone!" Li Qingxue smashed the phone severely.

"I can't get through after all that." Tang Xi sneered.

"Is it you!" Li Qingxue raised her head and stared at her fiercely, "It must be you! You made the ghost, right? Where did you get my mother and them!"

"Shut your mouth!" Tang Xi turned her head, her gaze had a bit of suffocation, "If you feel restless, do you still want to go back to the pond to be a fish? Or be an earthworm beetle? I will perfect you!"

"..." Li Qingxue's scream was forced back to her throat. She covered her mouth and dared not make a sound. The teardrops in her eyes were spinning, and it was about to fall in the next moment.

There was a sound of footsteps not far away.

"How is it?" Tang Xi asked.

"Can't get out." Chu Li walked back, his face remained unchanged, and his voice remained calm. "I tried it. No matter what direction I go along the corridor, even if I keep walking in a straight line, I haven't experienced any turns. Will go back to this position."

"Infinite Corridor." Tang Xi uttered four words.

"What?" Chu Li raised an eyebrow.

"I met once at the bottom of the moat. This is a spatial spell and a branch of illusion." Tang Xi explained and said, "It seems that the other party knows that it is impossible to move me to another space. So the second best thing is to use an infinite corridor on the periphery to trap us here and isolate us from the outside world."

"The last time the Infinite Corridor, how did you break it?" Chu Li asked.

"The time and place are right for people and harmony." Tang Xi frowned slightly, "and there was a pure white soul as a counterbalance... How about peony?"

"Much better than the moat." Shaoyao floated in from the other side, with a trace of sadness on his face.

Tang Xi touched her chin, lost in thought.

"Dad, what shall we do?" Pei Qinghe asked in a low voice.

"How do I know what to do? If it weren't for you—" Pei Yuanli gritted his teeth.

Even in this situation, Chu Li did not forget to handcuff them both. Now Pei Yuanli's right hand and Pei Qinghe's left hand are handcuffed together by the same pair of handcuffs, but the chain in the two loops has passed through the metal handguard of the hall door, so that they can only stay where they are.

"You two shut up too!" Tang Xi said impatiently, "If you don't want to be mosquitoes, flies, and bugs!"

For a moment, there was no sound.

"Is there a way to crack this Infinite Corridor?" Chu Li asked.

"Yes or yes." Tang Xi nodded and meditated. "The Infinite Corridor uses spatiality. As long as the space is destroyed-in short, two people inside and outside the Infinite Corridor form a sense, and exert force at the same time to make the two spaces Connected together, there will be loopholes in the Infinite Corridor."

"In other words, do you need to get in touch with the outside world?" Chu Li frowned.

"Yes." Tang Xi sighed, helpless.

The premise of breaking the Infinite Corridor is to get in touch with the outside world. The inside and the outside should be combined, but the existence of the Infinite Corridor completely isolates the people inside and outside the two worlds. This sounds like a refutation.

"If the time delays, will the outside find that this is abnormal?" Chu Li asked.

After all, he and Su Wanyi came here, and the Bureau of Tan knew that if they couldn't get in touch without returning, the Bureau of Tan would definitely send someone to check the situation. Once it was found that something was wrong, the only way was to report to the PEI, and it should be saved.

"Yes, but how long do you mean by ‘it’s been a long time?’" Tang Xi said calmly.

Chu Li was stunned, and immediately seemed to think of something. He raised his wrist to look at his watch and couldn't say: "One minute? I have been walking for so long just now. According to my footsteps, it should have been at least 15 minutes."

"The time and space in the Infinite Corridor is distorted." Tang Xi replied, "Therefore, no one knows when Tan Bureau will contact PEI, and we can't wait like this."

"What do you want to do?" Chu Li obviously wasn't just waiting to die.

"It is impossible to contact Tan Ju and the others, but there is another person who may be reachable." Tang Xi said, raising his hand to touch her earlobe.

The cold black crystal was shining low-key smooth, the edges and corners of the finger were rubbed, with a slight pain.

Putting down her hand, she saw a drop of bright red blood on her middle finger.

"You are..." Chu Li looked at her in surprise.

"The carrier comes from the same source, the spiritual power is not distinguished from each other, and the blood of both sides is used as the medium -" Tang Xi said lightly.

On the stage, Xiang Jiuming was still talking, but it was obvious that more and more guests had noticed something was wrong, but because of politeness, no one wanted to be the first to interrupt.

Su Wanyi held a glass of lemonade and pretended to inadvertently approach Pei Yuan.

Although she is a forensic doctor, she has also received basic training before entering the job. Although she is at the bottom of the serious crime team, she can be used to deal with such a wealthy wife as Pei Yuan-one choice is ten!

Pei Qingzhi discussed countermeasures with Father Pei, and he saw her as soon as he walked out. After thinking about it, he also approached over there.

The bodyguards of the Pei family were all placed by him next to Father Pei, and in this hall, apart from Grandpa, he was the only one who cared about Su Wanyi most.

"Does Pei always have any countermeasures?" Su Wanyi asked without looking back, "It seems that the above can't be delayed."

Pei Qingzhi opened her mouth and was about to answer. Suddenly, her right ear was slightly hot.

He subconsciously reached out and touched his earlobe, but was surprised to find that the black crystal earrings alternately changed from cold to hot, as if conveying some message.

"Xiao Xi?" Pei Qing whispered, and then a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
