The sun was shining, but the room was cold to the bones.

The members of the crime squad silently cleaned up the scene, put the bodies that could hardly be distinguished from whom into the body bag and carried them away, and drew lines on the ground with chalk, and put a small sign with serial numbers to indicate it. The clue, the occasional noise except for the footsteps, is only the "click" of the camera, and the flash flashes pale light again and again.

Chu Li stood outside the door, holding a cigarette in his hand after a long absence.

Since having a little girl at home, he has gradually quit the habit of relying on cigarettes to refresh himself, but this time he really couldn't help it.

Stimulated by the strong smell of blood, the headache that had been tossing for the whole night not only did not subside, but intensified, and even felt the twitching of the blue veins on the forehead.

At this time, apart from nicotine, nothing else can suppress this irritability.

"Team Chu, the scene has been cleaned up." Xiao Liu walked over to report.

Since receiving the alarm, Dayang took a few team members down the ropeway and escorted Zhang Dayou back to the city bureau. The students of No.1 High School also left in an orderly manner under the leadership of the teacher and the hotel security, and the last individual guests were evacuated. Later, there were only members of the crime team and some employees of Pei Qingzhi in the entire Luming Mountain Scenic Area.

"Then, what did you find?" Chu Li easily wiped out the remaining one-third of the cigarette butts.

"The time of death was around nine o'clock last night, and the error was no more than 30 minutes. The deceased was the owner's family of five, the couple, the old mother, and two children. They were only seven years old." Xiao Liu couldn't bear it. After a pause, he continued, "All the corpses are torn apart... Yes, they are torn apart. Specifically, the results will not be found until they are sent back to the bureau for a forensic examination by Su, but in my opinion, it is definitely not. Anything cut with a sharp tool, and..."

"I see." Chu Li waved his hand to stop the words behind him.

On the mountain path, Tang Xi and Pei Qingzhi walked down side by side, while still talking.

"Consultant consultant!" Xiao Liu immediately leaned forward and whispered, "This is not someone who did it, right?"

Tang Xi glanced at him and laughed: "Okay, I told Chu Li."

"Hey!" Xiao Liu promised and went on to command.

"What do you want to say?" Chu Li grabbed his hair, becoming even more irritable.

"The murderer should be the evil spirits of the animals killed by them over the years. The first time they must seek revenge from their enemies," Tang Xi said.

"When you went up the mountain yesterday--" Chu Li hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.

"Well, I can see it. I thought it would take a while for the evil to become true, so I thought about sending the students back tomorrow, and I will stay to deal with the problems here." Tang Xi answered his question calmly, "Sorry. , It’s my negligence."

"You don't need to—" Chu Li shook his head, "I didn't mean to blame you, and you don't have to take the responsibility on yourself. It's just that I want to know why the time is so much earlier than you estimated? It's not like you. The usual level."

"The plan can't keep up with the changes." Tang Xi shrugged and said helplessly, "The thing you met last night, it should be that its existence stimulated the evil spirits that are about to become evil, so at the moment of transformation, the first person to bear the brunt was to live in A family of five in the shop."

"So, the murder here happened before you rescued those students?" Chu Li grasped the meaning of her words.

"Yeah." Tang Xi nodded with a wry smile, "So, you don't have to think about finding the murderer, how to close the case. The murderer was cleaned up by me last night, of course...it's impossible to write it into the file for you. Go inside."

"Ahhh..." Chu Li kicked a piece of gravel violently, "What's the matter! Five people died, but they were still dismembered. The witnesses were a group of tourists. How can I close the case so that I can't cause it in society? panic?"

Tang Xi spread his hands, she really couldn't help.

"Speaking of which, the lives of this family should actually be recorded on the head of the envoy who gave birth to the monster?" Pei Qingzhi said suddenly.

"Right..." Tang Xi nodded.

Chu Li rubbed his forehead and asked, "Did Dayang go to the police station to retrieve the missing file?"

"Well, I asked him to take Zhang Dayou back and take care of it." Tang Xi responded, "However, the year span is long, and some false alarms have to be picked out, and these family members are not reported in the same police station. Even with Xiao Xiao’s help, it takes time to collect it. I guess he won’t be able to come back today."

"All right." Chu Li sighed, thinking in his heart, anyway, the cause and effect are established, and it is not feasible to arrest the damned person behind the scenes as the murderer.

"What are you bothering about?" Tang Xi asked directly, "I haven't seen you so irritable just for the case."

"Lu Mingshan is too big." Chu Li said something that seemed irrelevant.

"Huh?" Tang Xi was confused. Then what?

"Yes, only part of Luming Mountain is in Jiangnan City, and a large part of it belongs to Qingjiang City. Your crime squad is here because it chased Zhang Dayou and happened to take over, but in fact, you don't have the right to handle the case independently. , After all, the scenic area belongs to Rongxian County and is in Qingjiang City." Pei Qingzhi thoughtfully said, "Plus... these missing cases seem to be irrelevant. If you want to merge the cases, you don’t count. ,Right."

"Ah." Chu Li flattened his mouth. "It's Qingjiang, who has always been at odds with me."

"We can't help you." Tang Xi couldn't help laughing.

"Speaking of which, where are you going?" Chu Li said, looking at them up and down, his eyes picky.

"I accepted a commission, now I'm going to see the client." Tang Xi said simply.

"At this time, commission?" Chu Li went to see Pei Qingzhi suspiciously.

"It's kind of related." Pei Qingzhi said vaguely.

"Go ahead, be careful not to get involved in any trouble." Chu Li waved his hand, Ruo said with a deep meaning.

"Relax." Pei Qing said.

"Then let's go." Tang Xi took a few steps, then suddenly turned around, "My luggage, please help me take it home."

Chu Li sneered.

"He is afraid that I will involve you in Pei's internal disputes." Pei Qingzhi said suddenly.

"Why, there is someone in your family making trouble?" Tang Xi asked in surprise.

Originally thought that Pei Qingzhi was still alive in this life, and the old man Pei resolutely sent Pei Yuan's family out of the country, and even separated the two bedrooms and three houses from the old house. Pei's power should be tightly held in Pei Qingzhi's hands. To know that in the previous life, this is dead and counted Pei Yuanli, leaving them only with an empty shell Pei Qingzhi!

"How easy is it." Pei Qingzhi shook his head.

Seeing him looking like he didn't want to say more, Tang Xi didn't ask much, and turned the subject away: "Who is the client you are talking about?"

"My younger uncle's daughter is my cousin." Pei Qingzhi frowned slightly, and said simply, "My grandmother went early. My mother and two uncles were half-parents. They were not close together since they were young. Send a boxing gift to greet the relationship on New Year's Day. It is her fiancé who is looking for."

"Um...sorrowful?" Tang Xi thought for a while.

"Sure enough, he's gone." Pei Qingzhi was not too surprised.

"Yeah." Tang Xi spit out a word.

The two walked in silence for a while, just when they ran into a group of people hurriedly walking up.

"Xiao Fang, why haven't these tourists been evacuated yet?" The middle-aged man in the lead was serious and dissatisfied.

"This..." The named Xiao Fang smiled awkwardly, and just wanted to vomit. They obviously just came, so you can't blame them for evacuating tourists!

"The team of the Qingjiang Municipal Bureau?" Tang Xi was reminded by Pei Qingzhi, raised her eyebrows, and walked over.

"Are you?" The middle-aged man was exactly what Chu Li and Pei Qingzhi mentioned before. The captain of the Qingjiang City Criminal Police Detachment, Zhuang Shijie, looked suspiciously away from her.

Tang Xi didn't see it, just stretched out a hand to him, smiled and said: "Jiangnan City Crime Squad, Tang Xi. Hello, Team Zhuang."

"Chu Li's men?" Zhuang Shijie was shocked, his expression was a bit weird, and it took a while before he politely reached out and shook her hand, and said, "Officer Tang is young and promising."

Tang Xi rolled her eyes in her heart. She was young and promising. She put it nicely, didn't she just think that I was too young to do things securely? With a strong bureaucratic style from head to toe, it is no wonder that Chu Li is not pleasing to the eye. Thinking about it, the smile on her face became more sincere, and she happily said: "Team Zhuang, you have a good vision. I'm really young. I'm going to college in two months."

"..." Zhuang Shijie was choked by her, his face flushed suddenly.

"Then don't disturb Team Zhuang's handling of the case, I have something to go, and goodbye." Tang Xi waved, brushed past their team, and walked down the mountain.

"Goodbye." Pei Qingzhi smiled in his eyes and said goodbye politely.

Zhuang Shijie stared blankly at their backs disappearing at the corner of the mountain road.

"Team Zhuang, this...what is Jiangnan City doing?" someone muttered.

Zhuang Shijie shook his head, putting away all the inattention before.

He could see that the little girl was telling the truth, but only because it was the truth is worthy of attention. The police station is not a kindergarten, especially in places like the Crime Squad. Every year the number one graduated from the police may not be able to enter, let alone a girl who is not old enough for internship. And the serious case team can give her only one quota-a non-staff consultant.

After staying in the position for a long time, he is not unclear. A person who can become a police consultant may have an average level, but there must be one skill that is far superior to ordinary people.

So, what is that girl good at?

Below the mountain road, Tang Xi's face quickly became gloomy as soon as he left Zhuang Shijie's sight.

"What's the matter?" Pei Qing asked strangely.

"I don't like that person." Tang Xi snorted coldly.

"Are you short-term protection?" Pei Qing was shocked and couldn't help laughing.

"Of course not." Tang Xi glanced at him strangely, "Am I such a person of public and private?"

"Zhuang Shijie has a problem?" Pei Qingzhi's expression suddenly became serious.

"I don't know." Tang Xi shook his head, before speaking after a while, "I said before that Chu Li is righteous and Baixie retreats."

"He is a person who eats royal meals, plus so many wicked people have been caught in these years... Another point is that he has really killed people, and it is inevitable that he will be so cruel." Pei Qingzhi said.

"Although it is not as heavy as Chu Li, Yan Shifei also has similar characteristics. There are more or less members of the crime team." Tang Xi solemnly said, "But with Zhuang Shijie, I don't feel like a person at all. The evil spirit that the detective captain should have."

"You mean..." Pei Qing said in shock.

"It's hard to say." Tang Xi pursed her lips and said after hesitating, "After all, you can't ask every criminal police captain to be a hero who serves the people regardless of his life or death. Some people just treat it as a job to support their families. There is nothing wrong with it."

Pei Qing became dumb.

"It would be fine if it was just like this." Tang Xi sighed inwardly.

"Jiangnan City is adjacent to Qingjiang. It is not the first time that Chu Li and Zhuang Shijie have cooperated. He should know more about Zhuang Shijie's behavior." Pei Qing comforted.

"Yeah." Tang Xi responded, and couldn't help but glance back at the road up the mountain.

I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy.

"However, speaking of it, Zhuang Shijie came very quickly." Pei Qingzhi said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Tang Xi was startled.

"Luming Mountain is located at the junction of Jiangnan City and Qingjiang City, but it is actually farther away from the main urban area of ​​Qingjiang City." Pei Qingzhi explained, "Early in the morning, tourists report the case. It stands to reason that this case will be At the same time, both sides were notified that Chu Li was originally on Luming Mountain, but Zhuang Shijie's speed was a bit abnormal since receiving the report and rushing here."

Tang Xi didn't wait for him to finish, she took out her mobile phone to check the navigation, and quickly came to the conclusion: According to common sense, it would take at least an hour for Zhuang Shijie to arrive.

"However, it might be the same as Chu Li. They originally had a case nearby, so it's faster to come directly." Pei Qingzhi said again.

"It's not like." Tang Xi shook his head and retorted, "He took too many people. If it's a small case, you don't need so many people. If there is a serious case, their group is too tidy."

"Too neat?" Pei Qingzhi paused and immediately understood.

Indeed, the serious crime squad members who hunted down Zhang Dayou last night were all disgraced. Even after a night's rest, they could still see the traces. After all, no one brought replacement clothing during the hunt. But Zhuang Shijie and his party were as neat as they had to bid farewell to his wife and children to go to work in the morning.

"Forget it, he can still suffer." Tang Xi muttered, shook his head, and cast aside the extra thoughts.

After coming down the mountain, Pei Qingzhi drove her personally and took her to Rong County not far away.

Rong County is not a big place, but because it is at the foot of Luming Mountain Scenic Area, there are a lot of tourists staying here. The hotel industry is developing well, and there is actually a five-star hotel in the center of the county.

Pei Qingzhi went to the front desk to get the room card, went up to the top floor, looked for the right room number, and opened the door.

"Cousin is here." In the room is a girl in a simple dress with suspenders, with light makeup, looking very comfortable.

There was a hysterical dog-blood drama on the TV, and the girl was holding a remote control in her hand, apparently watching TV while she was waiting.

"Go in and talk." Pei Qingzhi backhanded and closed the door.

"Ah, yes, come in and talk." The girl immediately led the way, hurriedly took the electric kettle to boil the water, and said, "I didn't expect that the great celestial master introduced by my cousin was so young, and she was really unsightly. Oh, my name is Fu Xiao, and hello, Miss Tang."

Tang Xi smiled and nodded. She turned her eyes quietly in the room, and saw the crying hostess on the TV, and said casually: "Ms. Fu likes to follow dramas?"

"Well, this drama is not bad, and the emotional drama is very touched. I have watched crying several times, and just relived it to pass the time." Fu Xiao returned with the cup filled with tea leaves, placed it on the coffee table under the window, and took it. The remote control turned off the TV.

Suddenly, the cries all over the room disappeared, and it quieted down.

Tang Xi sat down and looked out the window.

It is worthy of being a five-star hotel. The rooms are spacious and Luming Mountain can be seen from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The view is excellent. There is a coffee table and a few small single sofas in the reception area under the window, which is very petty bourgeoisie.

"That...Miss Tang, I think my cousin has already said that, I want to find my fiancé to give a gift." While Fu Xiao was speaking, she sat down on the single sofa opposite, folded her hands on her knees. , Every move reveals a good temperament to recuperate.

"Since Miss Fu knows what I do, she should know that finding people is not my scope of work." Tang Xi said.

"I know, I know." Fu Xiao lowered his head, a little bit weeping. After a while, he raised his hand and pulled a paper towel, pressed the wet corner of his eye, and there was a trace of hoarseness in his voice, "Actually, I I understand in my heart that he is no longer there, but the Chinese always pay attention to the return of a fallen leaf, and I don't want him to become a lonely ghost who can't find his way home..."

"Let me interrupt." Tang Xi waved her hand to stop her, and asked, "Miss Fu, what is your entrusted scope, what do you want me to find for you? Soul or corpse?"

"Ah..." Fu Xiao opened his mouth wide, a little dumbfounded, and said after a long while, "Is there any difference?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure about these two." Tang Xi shrugged, then glanced at Pei Qingzhi, and said calmly, "Ms. Fu should have invited a lot of celestial masters for this matter, right?"

"Yes." Fu Xiao nodded immediately, "However, those celestial masters either couldn't find it, or they didn't want to answer it at first, so..."

"It's normal not to pick up. If you don't pick it up, it's mostly a liar who came for the Fu family's reward." Tang Xi said unceremoniously.

"Indeed..." Fu Xiao smiled bitterly, and said helplessly, "So, is this really so difficult?"

"Difficulty is difficult. The key is too long time." Tang Xi shook his head and said seriously, "A truly capable celestial master cherishes feathers. He is unwilling to accept this kind of hopeless and troublesome entrustment for fear of smashing the signboard. But the ability is not enough. For this kind of case, there will be no way to proceed."

"Then Miss Tang?" Fu Xiao's face was obviously desperate.

"I will answer, but there are two requirements." Tang Xi said.

"You say! I will do it, as long as you can help me find him!" Fu Xiao nodded repeatedly.

"First, I'm really not sure, so don't hold up too much hope." Tang Xi poured cold water directly.

Fu Xiao was taken aback, but he quickly condensed his lost expression, nodded and said, "I know, as long as Miss Tang can do my best to help me find it, as for the result... In fact, I don't want to give up an answer. "

"Second, if it can be found, I hope that Miss Fu can report the case according to my requirements." Tang Xi solemnly said.

"Report?" Fu Xiao was blank, "If, if he died by accident, should he report the crime?"

"Yes!" Tang Xi nodded solemnly, "Miss Fu, Lu Mingshan's current situation is very complicated. Your fiancé's disappearance is probably related to a big case. We also need your help and cooperation."

Fu Xiao looked at Pei Qingzhi hesitantly.

"Miss Tang is not only a celestial teacher, she is also a police consultant, you can trust her." Pei Qingzhi said gently and authentically.

"Good!" Fu Xiao blurted out.

At this moment, there was a "pop" on the side, and the switch of the electric kettle had bounced.

Fu Xiao got up and took the kettle over to make tea, and took out two more folders: "Miss Tang, here is a power of attorney, and the other is Guan Li's personal information, please take a look."

Tang Xi first took the power of attorney and scanned it with ten lines. Seeing that there was no problem, he took out the pen and signed the letter, but did not open the document immediately, and only asked: "Ms. Fu, here, are there personal items related to the gift?"

"Personal items?" Fu Xiao didn't know what he thought of, and his face was a little red.

"It's not a consumable like clothing, I'm not a hunting dog." Tang Xi knew that she wanted to be awkward, and added a dry smile, really afraid that she would really bring out something like men's underwear.

"That's it." Fu Xiao smiled a little embarrassedly, and concealed his embarrassment with the gesture of holding up the tea cup.

"The things he gave you are fine. The important thing is to be full of his heart." Tang Xi said again.

"Is the ring okay?" Fu Xiao put down the cup after hearing the words, took a diamond ring off her ring finger and handed it to her, somewhat sadly, "This is the engagement gift that Guan Li gave me back then. I change to a big diamond ring."

Tang Xi took a closer look at the ring and saw that the man’s family is not bad. Although the diamond on this ring is not big, it is a rare yellow diamond. It is also very valuable with the delicate design obviously from the master’s hand. .

"Yes." Tang Xi nodded and solemnly put away the ring, "Miss Fu will stay in Rong County for the time being and wait for my news, right?"

"Well, yes, I would stay here for a few days every year when he disappeared." Fu Xiao nodded.

"Okay." Tang Xi picked up the folder and stood up, "Then no time is wasted. Call me if you have something to do."

"Ah, I'll give it to you." Fu Xiao was a little surprised by her resolute vigor, and quickly got up.

"No need." Tang Xi said, picking up the remote control and turning on the TV. "Don't bother Miss Fu to continue chasing the drama, goodbye."

In an instant, the room began to be filled with dog-blooded female protagonist's nose and tears at the male protagonist's heartfelt voice, and the scalp was tingling.

Fu Xiao was stunned for a while, his eyes moved, and he landed on the TV, and his face suddenly changed.

"Is there something wrong with her?" Pei Qingzhi also asked in the elevator.

Tang Xi sneered, but said, "The sun is pretty good today."

"Yes, today's forecast says it will be 38 degrees--" Pei Qingzhi was halfway through speaking, and suddenly reacted and muttered, "The curtains..."

"Yes." The elevator door opened on the first floor, and Tang Xi walked out and said leisurely, "Today the sun is strong, where she sits, if the curtains are not closed, the TV will be able to see nothing because of the reflection. What about the play?"

Pei Qingzhi was speechless, and said after a while: "She is looking downstairs."

"Yes, she has been staring at the hotel door, but she is anxious about the whereabouts of her fiancé. It is normal for us to come early, but why should we cover it?" Tang Xi said to herself, "Luming Mountain...it looks like it is here... what."

"Sorry." Pei Qing apologized.

"It's not your fault." Tang Xi shook his head.

She accepted this commission, indeed half for Pei Qingzhi and half for Chu Li. However, there were too many mysteries, which aroused her curiosity.

Lumingshan, what else is there?
