Unscrupulous neighbors

"Why do you think so?" Ying Chen calmly picked up the teacup and greeted Hang Rui, "Try it, it tastes good."

Hang Rui, who asked the doubts in his heart, was also a little apprehensive. He took a sip of tea with his cup in his arms. The water temperature was just right, neither hot nor cold. He just had something in his heart and didn't drink the tea.

"You should have heard what Wang Susu said before," Ying Chen said after seeing Hang Rui drinking tea, "People who have been taken away will have a high fever for three days and then die. What's the situation with Mr. Xu you mentioned."

"It's a myocardial infarction..."

Hang Rui thought for a while, Mr. Xu's accidental death was indeed different from what he knew before, but this alone still couldn't dispel Hang Rui's doubts.

"Did you ask Cui Pan, how many souls were taken from this deceased?"

"...I didn't ask." Hang Rui whispered.

Ying Chen raised his eyebrows and said: "The previous victims were all taken away from the seven souls. If you suspect that the deceased this time is in the same situation as before, then I will ask Beiyuan to bring Cui Pan up, and you can ask again." .”

"No, no, no!" Hang Rui subconsciously shook his head and refused.

Just kidding, just for my own unfounded assumption, I have to work hard to invite a judge from Fengdu, no matter how I think about it, it doesn't make sense.

"There are more than one evil monsters. There are often monsters who use the souls of mortals as materials to strengthen themselves by devouring souls. I will let Yinfeng investigate this matter carefully, and I will tell you when I have the results."

"Okay." After Hang Rui replied subconsciously, he felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. After thinking about it, he thought it should be his own problem. Suddenly, he ran up to ask for no reason, and felt a little more guilty in his heart, so he quickly changed the subject, "That ,Did you have lunch?"

"No." Ying Chen rode a donkey downhill, and didn't bother with that problem any more, but rubbed his temples and said with a tired face, "Since I was busy last night until just now, I didn't bother to eat, and I'm so hungry that I'm almost exhausted." .”

Shock was written all over Hang Rui's face. He hadn't eaten at 02:30 from last night to this afternoon?

Can't even take care of three meals... How fierce is this battle situation...

Hang Rui's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly used the wit of giving away the kidney treasure yesterday in his heart to cover up the shyness that was about to come out, and the thumping heartbeat covered up the sour feeling.

"I still haven't cooked some of the dishes I bought home yesterday, otherwise..."

"Okay, I'll come over to eat after I clean up." Ying Chen answered with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"will not."

Hang Rui got up in a panic, because after Ying Chen said those words, some charming pictures always appeared in his mind, and he felt that there was a trace of ambiguity floating in the air, which made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and just wanted to escape quickly.

"I'm going back to prepare now, and I'll call you later."

After watching Hang Rui go home and close the door, Ying Chen returned to the study, and there was a man sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, teasing in his eyes.

"Continue the topic just now."

Ying Chen had a serious face, completely different from when he faced Hang Rui just now.

Bai Hu Yinfeng is in charge of the human department. He is also the busiest about what happened in the human world this time. He has already known about the existence of Hang Rui from Wang Susu, Beiyuan, Yaoli and Fuzhu before, although he did not have direct contact with him. However, just a few minutes was enough to open his eyes.

Originally, Yinfeng was just reporting to Ying Chen about the sudden and bizarre death and the death of the deceased a few days ago, but just after he said a few words, Ying Chen suddenly got up and signaled him to keep silent and not to speak, before leaving the study At that time, I didn't feel relieved and cast a stop enchantment.

However, Yinfeng heard that Ying Chen seemed to have called someone in, Yinfeng couldn't help shaking his head, this person was too defenseless, how could you just come in when someone asked you to come in?Why are you not afraid that the owner of this house is a beast in clothes?

Of course, this is just Yinfeng's thinking in his heart, and he would not dare to say it even if he had the courage to say it literally.

Judging from the conversation between Ying Chen and this person, Yinfeng can confirm that this is Hang Rui who has been a hot topic among them recently.

After hearing Ying Chen's blushing and heartbeating flicker, Yinfeng couldn't help but touch his forehead. Normally, he felt that he was thick-skinned enough, but he didn't expect his boss to be even worse than that. If he remembers correctly The surname of the deceased who died suddenly and strangely was Xu, that is to say, the deceased was probably the one who replaced Hang Rui and became the victim of the soul-locking dish.

However, when Hang Rui asked, his boss was able to go around, and finally managed to cheat a meal.

Not to mention not eating for a day, even if there is no water for thousands of years, it will not have any impact on Ying Chen. With the protection of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the fireworks in the world are really nothing.

So when Ying Chen returned to the study room again, Yin Feng was really impressed and speechless, his boss is really... a very powerful character!

"Why didn't you tell him the truth?" Yinfeng asked boldly.

Wang Susu also asked the same question.

"It's not his fault, he doesn't need to know this," Ying Chen said, "You continue to talk about your investigation."

Yinfeng was silent for a while, Ying Chen meant that he was here to carry the burden for Hang Rui. After understanding, Yinfeng felt that maybe they didn't know enough about the importance of Hang Rui. Ying Chen's attitude didn't look good. .

"According to what you said before, Your Majesty, this Xu Huiru had traces of beetles staying on his body for a short time at that time, but he was not marked by the arsenopyrite. Later, when he searched again, there were no traces at all. There may be something wrong with it."

Ying Chen was silent. At that time, Hang Rui disappeared. He sent all the people under the four 28-star divisions to search for the missing Hang Rui and Xue Zhe, ignoring Xu Huiru who no longer had the breath of a monster.

At that time, no one thought that someone would set up a trap for the soul-locking dish, nor did they think that the protective barrier on Hang Rui's body would bounce back from the capture of the soul-locking dish by accident. This chain reaction after another chain reaction, finally Xu Huiru had an accident.

"There is another problem," Ying Chen thought for a while, "The six people who had the accident before this were all grown men. Although there is nothing special about the horoscope, none of them are women. If they locked in Hang Rui from the beginning, why did they turn around?" Will you randomly choose Xu Huiru as a substitute?"

Hearing what Ying Chen said, Yin Feng also felt that something was wrong. He thought about it and said: "Before, the frequency of the other party's attack was once every three days. It has been exactly three days since Xu Huiru's accident, and there is no news of the eighth victim yet. .”

"Of course it's best not to, but you still can't be careless," Ying Chen said, "Although I don't know why the other party suddenly changed, it doesn't rule out the possibility of them doing it again."

"I went to Xu Huiru's house and found something," Yinfeng said, waving his hand, and a three-legged golden tripod appeared out of thin air. "The Yangtze River water contained in this Qiankun tripod was found in the Fengshui fish pond of Xu Huiru's house." Yes, I asked the servant of Xu Huiru's family, and I heard that someone gave her a pair of koi after the National Day, but there were too many guests that day, and the servant couldn't remember exactly who gave it to her. I doubt it That’s when the Yangtze River water was put in together with the koi.”

"The time when the first victim appeared was around that time." Ying Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, "There is something wrong with this Xu Huiru, or the person who gave her the koi. We have been confused before, but it is How did it come about, now it seems that this question already has an answer.”

Yinfeng agrees with Ying Chen's guess. This is the most intuitive evidence they have found so far. Next, as long as they find the person who gave the koi carp, they will be able to follow the clues and find the murderer behind the scenes.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk-"

The sudden knock on the door stunned the two people in the study, especially Ying Chen, who hadn't heard the sound in advance because he was thinking about the matter.

Ying Chen opened the door and saw Hang Rui standing at the door, a little embarrassed.

"That..." Hang Rui handed the key in his hand to Ying Chen, "I just prepared two dishes, the soup is on the stove, and the rice is not yet cooked, you... you can eat later."

"Who? Me and who?" Ying Chen didn't reach out to pick up the key. He confirmed that it was impossible for Hang Rui to find Yinfeng who had just been locked in the barrier by himself, so the question came, what did the "you" in Hang Rui's mouth mean? .

Hang Rui was stunned for a moment, but Ying Chenhui didn't expect to ask back like this, and said calmly, "You and Mr. Ling."

"Who do you think I'm with?" Ying Chen suddenly laughed as if hearing a big joke, "Why do you think Ling Ruoyi will be at my house."

"Ah? Why did Mr. Ling leave without eating?" Hang Rui was a little anxious, "Have you gone far? Call him to come back, I cooked for you two."

"I can't call back, so I left last night." Ying Chen's smile carried a somewhat unclear meaning.

"Ah?" Hang Rui didn't react, "I left last night? Then why didn't I..." Hang Rui stopped talking, not to reveal that he had been eavesdropping all night.

"You're fine?" Ying Chen stood by the door, looked at Hang Rui who was obviously guilty, leaned slightly in front of him, looked at his dodging eyes, and whispered, "What are you thinking?"

Hang Rui's face suddenly turned red, he shook his head and took a step back, then walked up again, put the key in Ying Chen's hand, and said, "I'm going out for a while, and I'll go to my house for dinner later, remember to turn off the key." Fire on the stove!"

After finishing speaking, Hang Rui turned around and ran back home, closing the door with a bang.

Ying Chen was left standing by the door, looking at the key that was pinched a little hot by Hang Rui, and smiled softly.

And Yinfeng, who was hiding in the corner and witnessed all this quietly, felt as if he had been fed ten catties of dog food, and was a little panicked.

The author has something to say: someone is about to wake up.
