No. 7 Fish House

It was getting darker and earlier. After Xing Ting put the food on the table, he replaced the porridge in front of He Fu with rice. He Fu glanced at him: "You know, I don't eat."

"You don't need to eat, but you won't die if you eat, so why don't you learn to be a normal person who eats normally?" Xing Ting stared at He Fu. Meat, I don't know what happened to him, but the baby face actually lost weight, "I feel like you can be blown down by a gust of wind now, are you really not going to talk about what you have experienced in the past half month?"

Since meeting He Fu in Changqing Palace that day, he found that He Fu talked less and less, never mentioning the disappearance.

"I'll tell you when Yang Mingzhen comes over." He Fu picked up the chopsticks slowly, and Xing Ting saw sharply that the red line in his palm became more and more intense, almost turning black.

"Is he the one who called this afternoon?" Xing Ting asked while filling He Fu with a bowl of crucian carp soup.

"Well, it is said that a strange case happened again. He couldn't figure it out, so he wanted to come over and discuss it with us."

After He Fu finished speaking, He Fu picked up the spoon and took a small spoonful to taste. In fact, no matter how delicious the food was to him, it tasted like wax in his mouth. He was born with no sense of taste and no hunger, but today he It seems to taste what crucian carp soup is like.Could it be because he absorbed half of Susie's abilities, making himself stronger?

He tasted the crucian carp soup seriously, and also tried to pick up other dishes to eat, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

It turns out that food can be so delicious.

Xing Ting looked at his weird movements, and felt a little nervous: "What's wrong with you, is this dish too unpalatable? I remember that you can't taste anything in your mouth?"

He Fu smiled slightly: "It's delicious."

He smiled contentedly like a child eating candy for the first time.

With a bang, the door of Fish House No. [-] was pushed open, and Yang Mingzhen stepped on the meal again.

"I tell you, this is simply the strangest case I've ever encountered."

In the next half hour, Yang Mingzhen told He Fu and Xing Ting about today's case from beginning to end, the mysterious mirror involved in Yan Shuihua's death, and the story of Jia Yue told by the crazy Jia Daoshi.

He Fu stared at the photo Yang Mingzhen took out. Jia Yue and Yan Shuihua's faces did look close to the same after death, but they still retained a small part of their original faces.After becoming beautiful, Jia Yue is considered a girl of Xiaojiabiyu, but there are still some flaws in it, and she seems to become even more beautiful after she arrives at Yan Shuihua's place.

This series of photos is revealing a message to them, the same face is constantly being upgraded, becoming more beautiful every time.

After the story was told, Yang Mingzhen expressed emotion: "How can there be such a mirror in this world, I suspect that some fake Taoist priest is lying to me, maybe he manipulated the corpse to make the faces of the two dead people look almost the same. "

"He didn't lie." He Fu said with certainty, "There is indeed a mirror that has such a function, it can make people beautiful."

"What?" Yang Mingzhen and Xing Ting looked at He Fu in surprise.

"Qin Jing."

He Fu narrated the origin of Qin Mirror in a flat tone: "It is said that there is a mirror hidden in the Xianyang Palace of Qin Shihuang. It is five feet nine inches high and four feet wide. Its face is like the sun and its back is like the moon. The pattern is simple and unsophisticated, and the dust does not stick to it."

Hearing this, Yang Mingzhen interjected: "I have seen this mirror recorded in a book. Its strangeness is that if you look at the mirror from the opposite side, the reflection of a person will be reflected in it. If you touch your chest with your hand, you can The image of the internal organs is very clear. More importantly, it can reveal the loyalty and treachery of the subordinates, and the rise and fall of the country's destiny."

"The mirror recorded in the book is a peerless treasure, but the mirror that Jia Daoshi said is taking blood and killing people is clearly an evil thing." Yang Mingzhen sighed.

He Fu nodded slightly: "Although the Qin Mirror is good, if it is not used properly, it will naturally become an evil thing. When Qin Shihuang had this mirror earlier, it was clearly able to distinguish the true from the false, to discern loyalty and treachery, to diagnose national diseases, and to treat Qin Shihuang. However, they only use it to illuminate the beautiful women in the palace, but if they see "those who are daring and tempted", they will all be beheaded as those who have a different heart."

Xing Ting sighed while listening: "It's a waste."

"In the story you told, the mirror doesn't have the function of making people beautiful?" Yang Mingzhen looked at He Fu and said.

He Fu put his palms together on the table: "This is what I want to tell you today - Changqing Palace."

Xing Ting and Yang Mingzhen straightened their bodies and stared at He Fu intently. They always wanted to know the secrets in the Changqing Palace, but He Fu never mentioned it.

"You know that the Changqing Palace under the Qingshen Temple was built by the young emperor Liu Qing. He is not famous in history, and there is no historical record about him, because he is only the king of the loess in the tea city. After his death, naturally Only the people in the tea city remember him."

"Legends say that Liu Qing looks ugly, and he worked hard to get his beauty, until he got Qin Jing, a transformed monster, who saved his life and destroyed his dynasty. And Yan Shui Hua and Jia Yue are the same, they need blood to nourish the mirror, and the mirror will bring them beauty."

He Fu stared at Yang Mingzhen and said, "Just like what Jia Daoshi said, if the mirror appears, then far more than one person will die."

Yang Mingzhen held his breath.

"Opening the mirror requires a human life. As the original host of the mirror, it is absolutely impossible for him to sacrifice himself. Therefore, he will transfer the mirror to other people, just like when Liu Qing transferred the mirror to the concubine in the palace, so that the palace Concubine Zhong died in his place."

Yang Mingzhen looked at He Fu in shock, and said in disbelief: "You mean, Jia Yue was the first person to die, and the real host is still behind, and he is still waiting for more people to die?"

He Fu nodded: "Yes, if you want to obtain the highest level of beauty, you will naturally have to pay a lot of price. No one is willing to bear this price, so they need to replace the dead ghosts, just like the concubines in Liu Qing's palace, who died four times that year. personal."

Yang Mingzhen patted the table furiously and said: "This is too stupid! What I don't want to bear, but I push it to others, let others die instead of me. Just for the sake of shame?"

He Fu shook his head, he sighed and said, "Officer Yang, you haven't experienced the pain of ugliness, how can you feel the same as them?"

Yang Mingzhen retorted: "Then we can't kill so many people just because of shame."

"No." He Fu said, "No one killed them. Those deaths are the price they are willing to pay for their beauty. If they are willing, there will be no pain."

Xing Ting and Yang Mingzhen were stunned on the spot, yes, if these people didn't covet beauty and make a contract with the mirror, then they wouldn't have died.

However, when He Fu said this sentence, it still made people feel cold all over.

To him, life is not like a gift, but a punishment.

"If according to what you said, Liu Qing died four people in order to gain beauty, Jia Yue and Yan Shuihua are just two people. If I want to find out the host behind it, it is simply looking for a needle in a haystack." Yang Mingzhen thumped a little discouraged. Get off the table.

"No, you still have a chance to find the next person." He Fu handed the personal information of Yan Shuihua and Jia Yue to Yang Mingzhen, "Look, their birthdays are on the same day."

Yang Mingzhen looked down at the date of birth, July 7th in the lunar calendar?Hungry Ghost Festival!

"At first, I thought that the birthdays of these two people coincidentally coincided. Could there be a big story in this birthday?" Yang Mingzhen asked.

He Fu smiled and said: "Although the host can find anyone to replace him to die, the mirror only accepts people with the same birthday. When the number reaches a certain number, the host can truly gain beauty."

"So that's the case, then I just need to find the people born on July 7th and protect them!" Yang Mingzhen said before leaving the No. 15 Fish House.

He Fu kindly reminded: "People born on the Hungry Ghost Festival have the most yin energy, but there should be quite a lot of people born on this day. Is Captain Yang planning to search the entire tea city?"

"That's right, this is also looking for a needle in a haystack!" Yang Mingzhen almost collapsed, who made him not very smart, the only advantage God gave him was a sharpshooter.

He Fu pursed his lips and smiled, pointing to the photo of Jia Yue and Yan Shuihua and said, "Captain Yang should know that these two are not rich, right? But the clothes on them are very valuable."

Xing Ting recognized these two dresses early in the morning: "I saw them in the window of 'Splendid Years'. These two dresses are very expensive, and they belong to the same series as the other two."

He Fu said in a low tone: "I want to put on a dress when I'm dying, and Yan Shuihua is still holding rouge in his hand to touch up his makeup. You said it's so late, who is she waiting for?"

"The person who is waiting for the gown!" Yang Mingzhen and Xing Ting said in unison.

He Fu said: "Captain Yang can go and find out who bought the dresses of this series."

"En." Yang Mingzhen turned around and wanted to leave.

He Fu sighed again: "A person who knows the legend of the mirror and can remove the mirror from under the Evergreen Palace should have thought of how to hide his identity immediately. If we can't find out..."

"Then just wait for the next dead person to appear." Yang Mingzhen said.

He Fu smiled: "Waiting to die is a very cruel thing, but there is no best way at present."
