Pei Qi felt extremely uncomfortable eating the lunch meal, because every time a colleague passed by, he would glance at Jiang Li. Not only men, but also girls came up to ask for his contact information.

Pei Qi felt that the road to pursue his wife was getting longer, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

But while I have a headache, I am also happy that so many people like Jiang Li.

After eating, Pei Qi took Jiang Li to the prison to interrogate Lou Mingzhe.

Lou Mingzhe was originally sentenced to life imprisonment for his bad behavior, but the police did not catch Huang Lin, and she was not among the people who died on the seventh floor of the shopping mall, so they assumed that she had escaped somewhere.

"Lou Mingzhe, I am Pei Qi, the captain of the criminal police squadron. I need your cooperation regarding the case of the mall fire seven years ago."

When he heard the fire in the shopping mall, Lou Mingzhe's stagnant mood suddenly fluctuated a bit. He raised his head and asked:

"Officer, have you found that bitch Huang Lin?"

"This is not something you can know. You just need to answer our questions." Pei Qi said coldly.

"Did Huang Lin start the fire in the shopping mall seven years ago?" Jiang Li asked.

Lou Mingzhe sneered: "Find Huang Lin and send her to prison. I'll tell you, otherwise there's no need to talk!"

"Lou Mingzhe, I am giving you a chance to reduce your sentence, so cooperate well!" Pei Qi said angrily.

Lou Mingzhe laughed sarcastically:

"Reduced sentence? Officer, I am serving a life sentence. How many years can you reduce my sentence? Five years or ten years? Even if I get out alive, what's the point of that time!"

"Are you not going to cooperate?" Jiang Li asked with a frown.

Lou Mingzhe sneered: "I told you to bring Huang Lin here and I will cooperate."

Jiang Li looked at Pei Qi: "Are we still wasting time?"

Pei Qi thought for a moment: "No need, just do it your way. It'll be faster."

Jiang Li nodded, and then cast the soul-linking spell to explore Lou Mingzhe's memory.

From his memory, Jiang Li saw how he and Huang Lin were together. Lou Mingzhe actually did not love Huang Lin, but just coveted her beauty.

Because of his wife's ability, Lou Mingzhe was always unable to hold his head high in the company. Some people always said that he was a softie. He could only briefly gain the so-called dignity of a man when he was with Huang Lin.

Later, his wife found out about his affair with Huang Lin. He would soon leave home and lose everything. He was unwilling to accept it, so he beat his wife to death in anger.

Afterwards, he and Huang Lin chopped the body into pieces and stuffed it into the freezer. A few days later, they reported to the police that his wife was missing.

At that time, the cheating scandal had not yet broken out, and Lou Mingzhe successfully took over the company and continued to be with Huang Lin.

After that, Lou Mingzhe liked the new and disliked the old, changing women like clothes.

He gave Huang Lin a lot of money, but Huang Lin was unwilling to be betrayed by Lou Mingzhe, so she threatened him with the murder he committed and not allowed him to find another woman again. Lou Mingzhe reluctantly agreed.

But because she was unwilling to cut off contact with Lou Mingzhe, a girl came to his house, climbed in through the second-floor window, and later discovered the body hidden in the freezer.

Unfortunately, she was discovered by Lou Mingzhe when she was about to leave.

Lou Mingzhe was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he notified Huang Lin to silence her. He drove and followed Huang Lin to the shopping mall, and witnessed Huang Lin closing the door of the beauty salon.

From Lou Mingzhe's memory, Jiang Li finally saw clearly how the fire started.

Huang Lin did it, but it wasn't her.

When the fire started, the scarlet color in Huang Lin's eyes did not belong to a normal human being at all. The fire was pouring out of her body.

Because the door was closed, those in the beauty salon didn't see it, but Lou Mingzhe saw it clearly.

But what surprised Jiang Li was that Lou Mingzhe didn't seem surprised to see this.

Jiang Li thought about it again and again, and then searched his previous memories, and finally she found clues.

Lou Mingzhe once suspected that Huang Lin had another man besides him, so he followed her secretly.

In the dark night, Huang Lin came to a deep mountain in the suburbs, knelt down in front of an old locust tree, and respectfully called the old locust tree its master.

Huang Lin was like a puppet at that time. Later, when Lou Mingzhe asked her about the old locust tree, she didn't even remember it at all.

Lou Mingzhe thought Huang Lin had sleepwalking, and secretly made an appointment with a psychiatrist for Huang Lin, but Huang Lin did not go for a check-up.

Now Jiang Li could be sure that the cause of the fire was indeed related to unnatural forces.

After withdrawing the Soul-Connecting Curse, Lou Mingzhe was in a daze for a moment and couldn't remember what happened.

Jiang Li woke up the prison guard guarding Lou Mingzhe and pretended that nothing happened and said to Pei Qi:

"Since he refuses to say it, let's go!"

"it is good!"

Pei Qi and Jiang Li turned and left, while Lou Mingzhe was still shouting:

"Catch Huang Lin, I will tell you everything if I catch Huang Lin!"

Little did he know that Jiang Li already knew everything he knew.

On the way back, Jiang Li looked for the location of the old locust tree on the map, planning to wait and take a look.

Pei Qi sent her home:

"I still have things to deal with. If you go to find that old locust tree, remember to be prepared. If it doesn't work, go to Luo Heng and ask him to go with you."

"I know, don't worry, I won't act rashly!"

After Pei Qi left, Jiang Li returned home, thinking about the old locust tree. She was lost in thought for a moment, and Zhuo Qianyue called her several times but didn't hear her.

"Jiang Li, what are you thinking about?"

Zhuo Qianyue patted her and she came back to her senses:

"I'm thinking about the case!"

"You went to meet that Lou Mingzhe. Do you have any clues?" Lin Xi asked.

Jiang Li nodded: "There are clues. Now we can confirm that the fire was related to unnatural forces. Perhaps it was a ghost or a monster controlling Huang Lin."

Gong Xueer came over holding the computer:

"We have a clue here too."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up: "What clues do you have?"

"You see, we originally wanted to search the Internet for the specific circumstances of the fire in the mall, but we discovered that there were actually four fires around the Imperial Capital at that time."

Jiang Li was slightly shocked: "At the same time!"

The three people nodded in unison: "It's almost within a few seconds, and they are all large fires, the kind where there are no survivors."

Linxi has been marked on the map.

"There was an explosion in a chemical plant in Yuncheng, a fire in a commercial building in Xiangshi, a middle school in Mingjiang, and a mountain forest in Yuancheng."

"The time of these four fires is almost exactly the same as that of the shopping mall. It is definitely not a coincidence!"

Jiang Li zoomed out on the map and found that the locations of these five locations didn't seem right.

If arranged according to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams on the map, these five places will just form the Five Ghost Gathering Yin Formation, and the center of the formation's eye is where the Yin Qi gathers.

Jiang Li calculated the position of the formation eye and then zoomed in.

"It's indeed a suburb!"

Jiang Li could now conclude that these five fires were set by someone to set up the Five Ghost Gathering Yin Formation. The five fires created countless ghosts and gathered their Yin Qi in the eyes of the formation.

There must be an extremely powerful creature in this formation's eyes.
