Chapter 151： Ghost gate

At the end of the year, the entire Jiangnan City and Qingjiang City experienced an earthquake.

Regrets from wealthy families, in order to fight for property and even kill each other, it is seen in many film and television works, but looking at reality, ordinary people say that it is really an annual melon, enough to eat after a meal.

First, the serious crime teams of the two cities jointly attacked and searched the Fu family's mansion. Finally, they found a few things from the safe, a USB flash drive, and there was a dim video in it. It seemed to be a bar, the person photographed. It was Pei Yuanqing, the third of the Pei family when they were young, and another man in his thirties. The noise in the bar is very loud, I can't hear their voices. I can only see that the man who is talking to Pei Yuanqing looks very nervous and keeps wiping sweat. However, even if I can't hear the conversation, the video captures the faces of the two people very clearly. .

The police invited a lip language expert to restore all the conversations, and were shocked to find that the man was the captain of the plane that crashed that year, and Pei Yuanqing kept persuading how important the contract was. If it is lost, he will definitely lose his job. But if you can arrive on time, everyone will have a big bonus. Threats and inducements go together. The most important thing is that when the captain turned his head, Pei Yuanqing threw a pill into his glass-this is not just driving a plane after drinking, it is medicine!

The captain was drugged, and the proper thing was murder.

There are also several videos. Basically, the young Pei Yuanli and Pei Yuan are present. It seems to be a small gathering before departure. After comparison, all the crew members of the year were also present. The only people on the plane who were absent were Pei Qingzhi's parents. Looking at it this way, I'm afraid they didn't know how dangerous the crew status of this plane was back then. It's a pity that the age is too long, and it's hard to find out what medicine Pei Yuanqing gave.

And the Fu Jia saved these videos from the bar surveillance, really well-intentioned.

Chu Li took the video back to the police station and showed it to Pei Yuanli, without saying a word. Sure enough, Pei Yuanli, who mistakenly thought that the Fu family had fallen into trouble, angrily reported the code of a bank safe and took out a voice recorder. At that time, the Fu family wanted to buy back the shares that Pei Qingzhi inherited from his mother, but he was rejected by the old man Pei, claiming that he "wait for the grandson to be the master when he grows up." So the Fu family threatened the air crash and asked Pei Yuanli to cooperate with the kidnapping of Pei Qingzhi, as recorded in the recording pen. It was that conversation. In terms of playfulness, the two sides are really each other.

This is the end of the matter. The two families have refreshed the lower limit of everyone in the Municipal Council. The ones that have been exposed and not exposed are bitten out by each other one by one, and they have profoundly deduced the principle of "The one who knows you best is your opponent". There is even no need for the police to find a way to pry open the mouth. The suspect is afraid that he will not say enough and he will be sentenced heavier than the other party.

Pei Qingzhi was not idle either. Even if the two families were mostly unfounded, the actual evidence was not particularly sufficient, but Pei had money, a lot of money, and Pei’s legal department raised a group of elite lawyers. At this time, This is the stage for lawyers.

It's just such a big case, and there will be no conclusion within a year or a half.

Before that, the New Year slipped away quietly.

This year was still spent in Tang Xi's house. Pei's family was still messing up and down. Pei Qingzhi also let his father settle down on the island for the New Year to prevent someone from jumping over the wall in a hurry. And Pei Qingzhi has also been living in Tang Xi's guest room, and he is alone when he goes back anyway. It is safer to live together before finding the old man.

Three people and a group of ghosts, a table of delicious food, a table of incense and paper money, plus various fireworks.

It's just that the atmosphere and the way of getting along are different from last year after all.

On the morning of the New Year's Day, snowflakes floated in the sky.

Standing on the terrace, Tang Xi frowned slightly, looking at the pale world.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing." Xie Changan appeared behind her.

"Good thing?" Tang Xi raised an eyebrow.

"Well, low temperature makes it easy to stay calm." Xie Changan replied, "Look at the scorching summer, is there a lot of **** incidents caused by impulsive upper brain?"

"..." Tang Xi glanced at him inexplicably, a little confused whether he was serious or joking.

"So early?" Chu Li pushed open the patio door on the other side.

"I plan to visit the new city in a while." Tang Xi said, "Where is Pei Qingzhi?"

"Breakfast." Chu Li replied casually.

"So idle?" Tang Xi opened his eyes wide.

"Why don't you be idle for the New Year?" Chu Li sneered and said, "Then go, it would be best to take advantage of the year to solve it. After all, during this period of time the migrant workers return to their hometowns, and the population of Jiangnan City has dropped sharply. Especially in the new city, no one can see anymore."

"Together?" Tang Xi smiled.

"I yelled Yan Shifei. After all, it is his site. I always have to say hello, and let him come or not." Chu Li said again.

"Will you disturb him during the New Year?" Tang Xi said.

"Lonely family, what years will pass." Chu Li said politely.

"..." Tang Xi realized, this is Chu Li's own life in the past few years, right.

Facts have proved that as soon as Yan Shifei finished listening, he immediately said: Send me the location, I will go right away!

More positive than myself.

Tang Xi shook her head, she really deserves to be a single dog for a lifetime! Anyway, Chu Li is a bit human now... I still have to help him take down sister Wanyi, or where to find a second silly woman who likes him and can tolerate his workaholic attitude. Although... Sister Wan Yi is actually no worse than Chu Li when she is workaholic.

When he arrived in the living room, Pei Qingzhi just brought the breakfast to the table.

Tang Xi was shocked when he saw his appearance, and then he leaned forward and closed with a smile.

Aunt Zhang is a ghost, of course, she doesn't need an apron. The one that Pei Qingzhi found to wear was the pink Hello Kitty lace girly apron that Tang Xi had never used before, but it was not ugly to wear on Pei Qingzhi.

"I only found this." Pei Qing smiled helplessly, "Hello Kitty is very cute."

"Right, right, I knew no one would dislike Hello Kitty!" Tang Xi nodded repeatedly.

"I have been bothering for a long time. I have been busy before. It is rare to have time. Try it." Pei Qingzhi said, put three breakfasts, took the apron, and put it on the back of the chair.

"Hey, why take it off? I want to watch it." Tang Xi sat at the table and waited for the feed, smiling while holding her cheek.

"I'll wear it next time." Pei Qing smiled and sat down, "Eat while it's hot, don't you want to go out?"

"Oh." Tang Xi looked at the breakfast in front of him: milk cereal, ham and omelette toast, fruit salad, colorful, so pleasing to the eye, couldn't help but admire, "I didn't expect Mr. Pei to have this craft?"

"You should see a small refrigerator and an induction cooker in my lounge." Pei Qingzhi put down his rolled up sleeves and said casually, "Sometimes the company is busy and I don't go home for a few days, and I don't want to eat the winter relationship in the cafeteria all the time. I will make something simple, convenient and nutritious by myself, especially when the cafeteria is closed when I am hungry in the middle of the night."

Tang Xi tasted everything and nodded contentedly.

The sweetness of the oatmeal is just right, the omelette is half-cooked, which she likes, the golden egg will flow out with a light poke of the fork, the toast is just right, and the fruit is perfectly matched. The topping is not mayonnaise, but Passion jam.

"You... Your heart is getting too long." Chu Li poked the fried egg and shook his head again and again.

"You don't like to eat?" Tang Xi asked curiously.

"We are both busy. We always fry eggs for breakfast until they are cooked. Like this, we will drip onto the file while we eat and work." Chu Li explained.

"So, it was made for me." Tang Xi smiled and crooked.

"Is it delicious?" Pei Qingzhi looked at her a little nervously.

"Um... it's okay, just keep going." Tang Xi nodded with a serious surprise.

"Okay." Pei Qingzhi's eyes also had a smile, and it was really useful to observe Tang Xi's eating habits during the days he lived together.

"Wait when we go to Xincheng, how about you?" Chu Li asked.

"As I said before, I want to go to the sewer?" Pei Qing said.

"Yes. Fortunately, it is winter. If summer is really going to kill people." Tang Xi complained.

"Do you want me to help?" Pei Qing asked.

"Not for the time being." Tang Xi shook his head.

"Well, tell me what you need." Pei Qingzhi didn't force it.

Even if you can't help, at least you can't hold your back. Those idiots who say "I want to go with you because I know the danger", maybe the person they like sacrificed just to save him. I know what I can do best, and still use others to teach?

However, on the other hand, you can follow up.

After breakfast, Aunt Zhang cleared the table, Pei Qingzhi continued to watch the progress of the Pei’s and Fu’s cases, and had a video conference with the lawyer.

Chu Li and Tang Xi went out.

Today's car was driven by Tang Xi, and the royal blue Lamborghini slammed through the empty street into the new district.

"Turn left ahead." Xie Changan floated in front of the car to lead the way.

During the New Year, the industrial park in Xincheng seemed to have been pressed the rest button, and everything came to a halt.

The car passed through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped at the door of an unfinished construction site.

"Here?" Tang Xi curiously asked, "Whose project?"

"It's not Pei's anyway." Chu Li said, opening the door and getting out of the car.

Not far away, there was a police car parked. A thin layer of snow had accumulated on the car. Yan Shifei was leaning on the side. There was already a pile of extinguished cigarette butts above the roadside trash can.

"Come early?" Chu Li walked over.

"Here, I went around in a circle first." Yan Shifei said, turning his head to look at Tang Xi, "I don't know what to say on the phone, what do you want to do?"

"To put it simply, there is an explosion source underground here, you can't handle it, I have to go down and see the situation." Tang Xi said.

"The planning of the new city is not long, and the sewers are clearer. If it is in the old city, it will be more troublesome." Yan Shifei opened the door, took out the laptop, wiped the snow off the hood of the police car with his sleeve, put the computer on it, and turned it on.

"Did you bring the plan?" Chu Li's eyes lit up.

"Yeah." Yan Shifei clicked a few times, called up a drawing, and explained, "I happened to have a murder case here a year ago. After the murderer was arrested, he confessed that he threw the murder weapon into the sewer, but he couldn't remember which one to throw. The sewers are out, so I used this as a reason to get the planning drawings."

"Thanks." Chu Li patted him on the shoulder.

"Xie Changan, do you understand?" Tang Xi asked back.

"Here." Xie Changan pointed to a location on the screen.

Tang Xi immediately marked it and said, "Team Yan, please help me plan a route that can reach this point as quickly as possible, and send me a mobile phone."

"Yes." Yan Shifei agreed, and asked while operating the computer, "Who did you talk to just now?"

"Do you really want to know?" Tang Xi looked at him innocently.

"..." Yan Shifei was silent for a second and said decisively, "No, I don't want to!"

"It's a pity." Tang Xi shrugged.

Soon, the map was loaded into the phone.

"Just you two?" Yan Shifei couldn't help but said, "Or I..."

"Team Yan should respond from above, and ask for help in time if anything happens." Chu Li said.

Yan Shifei frowned, nodded reluctantly, and exhorted: "Don't mess around."

"I know, I didn't want to solve it today, just to see the situation first, so that I can think about countermeasures." Tang Xi waved his hand and checked the clothes and backpack.

Because she was going to get into the sewer, her hair was tied in a bun behind her head, her body was neat and waterproof leather clothes and leather trousers, she had a pair of high boots on her feet, and her trousers were tucked inside.

Chu Li was similar. After opening the cellar manhole cover, Xie Changan went down first.

"I'm first." Tang Xi made a gesture and climbed down first.

"Let's take a moment." Yan Shifei said.

"I know." Chu Li tightened the holster around his waist and slid down the metal ladder agilely.

Of course there was no light under the sewer, and it was completely dark after a few steps.

Because the year is not long, and Jiangnan City has had little rain in the past one or two months, the water level is not high, and there is a dry walkable road beside it, which is considered very lucky.

"This sewer is well repaired? It's much better than I thought." Tang Xi said with emotion.

Although there are traces of sewage soaking on the ground, all kinds of domestic garbage and silt, dead rats and cockroaches, and the smell of damp and stench in the air, compared to her expectation, she has to bend over to walk and swim in the sewage. Scene, this environment is really good.

At least Chu Li could stand upright at this height.

The key is that the space is spacious, so that when you are in danger, you will not be restrained when you move your hands.

"I'll lead the way." Xie Changan floated in front.

Tang Xi took out the wolf-tooth flashlight and turned it on. This was when she went to Chang'an. Because she was going to the tomb, Pei Qingzhi helped her prepare the materials, military products, and the beams were concentrated. They could illuminate from a distance of 100 meters. It was really overkill when used in the sewers. .

"Wait." Chu Li stopped suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Tang Xi turned around.

"Look." Chu Li beckoned, motioning her to look at a dead mouse.

"Uh..." Tang Xi pinched her nose with a look of disgust.

Chu Li picked up a branch that didn't know where it was floating, and slightly opened the dead mouse's eyelids.

"Red!" Tang Xi's expression tightened and blurted out.

"Well, it's not the first time I have seen you." Chu Li threw away the branches.

"Sure enough, those mutant animals are all related to this place." Tang Xi looked at the top and thought, "This location is not far from Yang Qingrong's neighborhood, right?"

"It's not far." Chu Li nodded to confirm.

"Animals are more sensitive than humans, and they are more likely to be infected." Tang Xi felt a little heavy, "Let's go."

The two went on silently, and saw the carcasses of many animals and even stray cats on the road. Without exception, their eyes started to turn red. The only difference was that some were crimson, and some were just getting bloodshot.

"Xie Changan, are you sure, the past few months have been okay?" Tang Xi asked.

"How could there be no problem at all." Xie Changan smiled bitterly. "It's just that the problem is not big. Although these animals are also slightly infected by Yin Qi, they have not yet reached the point of violent violence, but it is hard to say after a long time. In the sewer, there are countless creatures inhabiting the darkness that you can't see, just say rats. If the rats in the whole city go crazy and attack humans, it will be a disaster."

Tang Xi shuddered at the thought of that scene, her face also ugly.

"Just ahead." Xie Changan stopped.

This place is fairly spacious, and Chu Li also stepped forward and stood next to Tang Xi.

I saw the entrance of the passage in front, and the space cracked a hole, like a black hole, the deep vortex revolving, I don't know where it leads.

Chu Li raised his hand to cover half of his face and looked at it with his eyes without contact lenses. He could only see ordinary passages. At most, the temperature there was even lower. The occasional gust of wind that blew in was full of chill, and a trace of it penetrated. Bone marrow.

Tang Xi pointed a finger and threw a thunder curse over.

However, nothing happened.

When the thunder curse entered the black hole, it was like a clay cow entering the sea, and it was gone forever.

After thinking about it, she released a ray of Yin Qi from the Soul Cultivation Orb, which was exactly what she had collected from the moat.

The Yin Qi became active as soon as he got out of trouble, as if the wanderer finally found his way home, happily plunged into the black hole, and merged into one.

"Sure enough, the same origin." Tang Xi murmured.

"Xiao Xi, look here." Chu Li knelt down, his expression a little dignified.

"What?" Tang Xi bent over and leaned over.

"Shoe prints are very new." Chu Li said solemnly.

"Someone has been here?" Tang Xi said in surprise, "Are you sure it's not a sanitation worker?"

"No. For the New Year, the sanitation workers did not work in the well, and the sanitation workers were wearing rain boots, and the footprints were men's leather shoes." Chu Li said.

"So, someone rushed to find this place in front of us?" Tang Xi frowned.

A man in leather shoes would never just wander through the sewers all right.

"Also, shoe prints only come in, not go out." Chu Li said again, "The road was not very obvious just now, but the terrain here is low. It seems that sewage has just poured in. The moss and silt on the ground are heavy. Look. Is clearer."

"Still here?" Tang Xi looked around, finally falling on the black hole-like crack, swallowing, a little dry and authentic, "No... in it, right?"

"Do you think that living people can survive inside?" Chu Li asked.

Tang Xi didn't answer, and walked forward slowly, hesitated for a while, carefully stretched out a hand and inserted it into the crack.

"Be careful!" Chu Li looked at her nervously, "How?"

"It will dissolve all pure energy such as spiritual power and resentment." Tang Xi took a long time before retracting her hand.

"Ghosts will be swallowed instantly when they enter. Even if the ghosts of the same origin are different, they can only hold on for a while." Xie Changan said in a deep voice, "But, what's the matter with dissolving spiritual power?"

"I wrapped my spiritual power in my hand first, and it was corroded." Tang Xi spread out his hand and said helplessly, "I thought about it, and simply dissipated the spiritual power, but then realized that the yin inside was not for me. Be aggressive again."

"So, ordinary people can walk in, but the heavenly master can't?" Chu Li concluded.

"Probably it means." Tang Xi nodded.

"However, if there is no spiritual protection, will living people become like those animals with red eyes?" Chu Li asked.

"That's not what I said." Tang Xi shook his head and said seriously, "The reason why people stand at the top of all races is because people are rational. Animals act with instincts, so they are easily bewitched by all kinds of evil thoughts. Especially the abandoned stray cats and dogs, and the mice and cockroaches that everyone shouted and beaten. They were originally full of malice and ferociousness. As long as they were slightly provoked, they would become full of aggressiveness. However...Chu Li, I think that this world can The evil thoughts that confuse you, I am afraid that they have not been born yet."

By the moat, that shot without hesitation made her better understand how powerful this man's heart is.

"In that case, things are simple, I'll go in." Chu Li said without hesitation.

"Where is it simple!" Tang Xi grabbed him, angered, "Do you know who is going in? What if it's the **** we're looking for? Can you handle it alone?"

Chu Li frowned slightly and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Go, exit first, let's go somewhere." Tang Xi said.

"Where to go?" Chu Li followed her.

Xie Changan glanced at the crack for the last time, then placed a few more seals, and then followed.

On the ground, Yan Shifei contributed a few cigarette butts to the trash can.

On the notebook, the two red dots stayed at the mark for a while, and then started to return to the same path.

Both Chu Li and Tang Xi's mobile phones have implanted positioning systems, and Yan Shifei, who is also a police officer, can use this to monitor the situation most conveniently.

Sure enough, the red dot returned to the entrance, and Tang Xi and Chu Li climbed up one after another.

"How is it?" Yan Shifei closed his laptop and walked over.

"It's troublesome, I have to ask for help and solve a problem by the way." Tang Xi smiled.

"Don't want to tell me again?" Yan Shifei rolled his eyes.

"Team Yan, it's no good to know too much." Tang Xi waved.

"Little girl." Yan Shifei murmured, pressing off the last cigarette and getting on the car with his laptop.

The police car and Lamborghini drove out of the small road, one east and one west, and left in two directions.

"Did you say hello to Gu Ran?" Chu Li asked.

"I'll talk later." Tang Xi squinted, "I asked Sister Yun before. She said that she and Tianchen went back to their hometown for the New Year. There are not many people in the dormitory from PEI this year, but Mr. Wen is here."

"The person you want to ask for help is Elder Wen?" Chu Li said.

"Yeah." Tang Xi said as he drove, "I don't know how that guy got in, but for me, spiritual power is my instinct. Even if I don't use it, it will move freely in my body, and the whole person will go in. It's not as simple as one hand. To completely isolate is like forcing a normal, sober adult to stop thinking and empty the brain. It's too difficult."

"Do you want Elder Wen to help and make equipment that can isolate spiritual power?" Chu Li suddenly.

"Yeah, by the way... while there are few people, I want to study the magical artifact barrier of PEI and see if it can really only be broken with brute force." Tang Xi said again.

"You still think that PEI has an insider." Chu Li was quite sure.

"It's not the same with you." Tang Xi sneered, "It just so happens that Gu Ran has been investigating for so long, so he should have made some progress. Before going to such a dangerous place in Jiuyoudi, you have to wipe out all your troubles before going. If it is the key It's a lot of fun to get a knife in the back at all times."
