deceitful words and deeds

Chapter 91 The Darkness Under the Lights

When parting from Qin Xiaoshu, that person had a displeased expression on his face, Di Xie was amused, and firmly waved his hand to bid him farewell.

Before, it was necessary to work, and it was okay to have Qin Xiaoshu to accompany him, but now it is okay to take him with him outside, so it is not good to leave him alone in someone else's house.It was too late to go back at night, and that little clingy man had a lot of things to say.

When Di Chie returns to the Gu family compound, he can pick him up at Gu Xinming's residence first.

The compound used to be the other garden of a nobleman, with high walls built outside and several small courtyards inside.Di Jie was arranged to live in the west, with his back facing the lake and facing a small garden. Gu Xinming lived in the north courtyard, not far from his residence.

The north courtyard was the boudoir of noble ladies 80 years ago. It is surrounded by large flower gardens, and there is a rockery connected by curved ponds. Goldfish swim in it, and bamboo groves are embellished, which is elegant and unique.

In the flower garden, the flowers, plants and trees are staggered in height, and different flowering periods are mixed together, and there are various flowers to enjoy in all seasons.The tenacious carnation flowers grow naturally in the low places, blooming all year round, which is a low-key and quiet foil.

Di Xi walked along the bluestone road, and saw Yexing squatting on the stone steps from a distance, and there was another figure beside him.

When going out in the morning, Gu Xinming promised to take good care of her, maybe she walked away for a while now.Di Chi got closer and closer, and recognized the person beside Ye Xing.

"Commissioner Gu." Di Chie slowed down and greeted him in advance. After the other party saw him, he slowly approached.

Squatting with Ye Xing was Gu Xinming's father, Gu De, who was also the immediate superior of the Ministry of National Defense.

Gu De put down the watering can in his hand, waved to him with a smile, and Di Que walked to his side, "do as the Romans do" and squatted down.

"You have been here for a few days, I don't have time to see you, but I saw your little apprentice first." Wearing a pair of rubber gloves, holding tweezers and a glass bottle, Gu De grabbed a tea tree from the camellia tree in front of him. A worm is coming.

"The committee members are busy with work, and it is already disturbing for the younger generation to stay at the house, so there is no need to trouble the committee members to find time for a special meeting."

Di Xi was quite polite in his words, Gu De laughed: "You are not as honest as your little apprentice, he doesn't say so many polite words."

Di Xie looked at Ye Xing, propped his chin with both hands, and blinked at him: "Master, my grandfather took me to water the flowers, and even caught bugs in the flowers." He pointed to the camellia tree in front of him, "I've already picked up this flower." Got it, it's called Doctor Eighteen."

What is the Eighteenth Doctor? A hint of helplessness floated in Di Xie's eyes: "It's the Eighteenth Bachelor."

"Well, yes!" Ye Xing nodded his head.

It was a two-color Eighteen Scholars, with red flowers with white stripes and white flowers with red stripes. It is not the camellia flowering period, but this camellia is in full bloom.

"This Eighteen Scholars plant is extraordinary. It was a gift from a friend of mine. He heard that I like camellias, so he sent it to me from afar. It's strange to say that it can't live in a flowerpot, so it's planted here. Not only did it come alive, but it also bloomed undefeated, and it has been like this for three to forty years." Gu De inspected carefully, and after a while, there were more than ten green worms lying on the bottom of the glass bottle.There was some complaint in his tone: "It's just that during this period of time, for some reason, there was a pest infestation. These insects crawled on the tree and gnawed on my leaves. Fortunately, your little apprentice is also a idler with nothing to do, so you can accompany me Catch bugs."

Ye Xing took out another glass bottle from his side, and there were already dozens of caterpillars in it, wriggling and rolling, and crawled into a dense ball.

"I'm going out alone, so I can trouble you to take care of me." Di Chie said.

"The main thing is that Little Camellia is taking care of it, but I'm ordering him around. Don't go outside to talk about child labor." Gu De looked at it with a smile.

Little Camellia is... Gu Xinming?Ming Dixie came to his senses, couldn't help laughing, and said the nickname of Gu Xinming, who they both knew well, and suddenly felt that the relationship had become much closer.

Gu De smiled: "I heard from Little Camellia that you want a list of researchers from the Institute of Cultural Relics. What's going on?"

Di Chie was not surprised that he knew this, so he roughly said what he had learned before: "Someone found that there were fake skulls on the market, and he suspected that it was related to the people in the research institute. I went to confirm it today. The imitation skull is a collection of the Institute."

Gu De nodded: "I see."

Di Xie thought for a moment, and then asked: "Have the committee members heard about this? There are so many capable people in the capital, and there is no sound at all when something like this happens right under their noses?"

"Have you ever heard of darkness under the lamp?" Gu De still smiled, turned his head and said, "The so-called darkness under the lamp means that no matter how bright the lamp itself is, the place closest to the light source is easier Breeds darkness. The more you hear and the farther you see, the more you ignore."

It's okay to think that I can understand: "It's like you catch all the bugs on the tree, but you don't see the bugs that crawled on the legs of your trousers."

Gu De looked down at his trouser legs, and laughed loudly: "This kid has roots of wisdom."

After being praised by the old man, the little guy proudly puffed up his chest. Di Que patted his head: "I understand that not everything can get attention."

Gu De Youzai Youzai took off the worms on his legs: "It's true that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this place, but since we are in the world, we naturally have to run around for the world. Those high-ranking officials and nobles can't protect them, so there is no leisure to care about them." Those things. The people don’t raise officials and don’t investigate, and there are no vengeful spirits coming to the door. It is neither warlocks, nor evil spirits, so it is not within their scope of duties. Even if they know about it, they will be dealt with by the police.”

If it is handed over to the police, the case cannot be filed because there is no plaintiff. Even if those things are known, no one will care about him.

Only Di Xie, an outsider, is different from those people who have been immersed in the world of wealth for many years, and wants to take care of things.

Di Xie understood Gu De's meaning that the underworld should take care of things that the yang world does not care about, so the king of Hades will find the yin and yang messengers for him to drive away.Making cranial objects does not hurt the soul, but it is a curse that is imposed on the dead with bones. Si Que came here because of this, so he doesn't care about the identity of the person who committed the crime.

As Qin Xiaoshu told him, Yan Moluo used the heads of wicked people to make craniums, and the choice of raw materials would also affect the craniums.The craftsman who made the cranioids has already improved so much. Will the materials chosen be changed in the next step?

The sound of footsteps came from the house behind him, and Gu Xinming came out with a plate of cut fruits, and saw Di Chie there: "Ah Chie, you are back, just come to eat some fruit, dinner will be ready in a while."

Di Xie responded with a smile, greeted Gu De, and led him to wash his hands.

Except for the four of them, there were still a few people sitting at the table during the meal.Several of them were all profound ascetics, knowing that Di Chai was a disciple of the real sect, they kept their eyes straight and kept a distance.Only one Daoist Liu Gengkun was considered friendly, but he was serious and looked nervous.

After eating the meal calmly, Di Chie slowed down, waiting for Gu De and Gu Xinming to put down their chopsticks and take their leave.

"Thank you for your hospitality today, I'll take Ye Xing back to my room first."

Gu De suddenly said: "Ah, you don't have a job, so it's inconvenient to handle some things. How about this, Taoist Master Wu Shenxing is upright, has profound Taoism, and is familiar with the research institute. You and Taoist Master Wu Shenxing will handle the matter together. thing."

Di Xie was taken aback for a moment, although he knew that Gu De was helping him, such a decision was so sudden that people were caught off guard.The Taoist priest who was named at the table frowned, but agreed under the wink of Taoist Liu Gengkun.

Leading Ye Xing back to the room, Ye Xing ran to the bedside, laying on the bed and pouting without saying a word.

"Say it straight." Di Chie found it funny, "Don't be like your father, he said it as soon as he was asked, and he insisted on being asked."

"You don't take me out to play today." Ye Xing pouted even higher.

"How do I take you? I'm going to see the cranial organs. Don't you get scared when you see something like that?" Di Xie said.

It's okay, the eyebrows are as flexible as the meat worms caught during the day: "That's not okay."

Di Jie put on a serious face: "Can't you change your name?"

"I can call you whatever you want, anyway, you have to take me with you wherever you go." His legs hanging on the edge of the bed kept dangling.

"Why, you're still afraid that I'll leave you behind, and you still can't trust me now?" Di Que said.

Ye Xing nodded solemnly: "Well, it's not that I can't believe it, but I'm afraid of what happens. If something happens to you and Dad, I will be an orphan again! Bah, bah, childish words, what I just said doesn't count .”

"..." Sure enough, people will be assimilated after getting along for a long time, it's okay, Qin Xiaoshu is also like this during the day, and now Di Jie feels that it's okay and Qin Xiaoshu may really have a kinship relationship.

There are more than ten bars in the bar street, and the bars are divided into several categories. In the clear bar, friends gather to drink a little wine and play some games. There are also some bars where good and bad people are mixed. Most of the people inside are foreigners. They come and go, and their whereabouts are difficult to determine .

There are money and sex transactions among strangers, sensuality and dog horses, and there are some people who mix in and make some small pills. The whole place is chaotic, like a dark gathering place in the city.

There is no light here, only money.

Zhu Huan is a wanderer from outside. He had found several formal jobs before, but he always felt unhappy. When he returned to the rental house after get off work, he had to open a bottle of wine to soothe his worries. Later, he quit his job and became a wine salesman.

Although there are many generous people in this bar called Miss, there are also many people who are generous, so Zhu Yu is quite willing to come here.

Standing by the side, she listened to a guest telling an alarmist, weird and absurd story, and she only listened to it for a while.

In the mouth of the guest, a chic beauty bottle was depicted.The body of the bottle is fat and round enough to accommodate the torso, and the mouth of the bottle is narrow and thin enough to only wrap around a person's neck.

How did I know such details, just because there was such a beauty in the bottle, it was just right, and it fit perfectly.

When the girl was young, she cut off her limbs and put them in a porcelain vase, leaving only her head exposed, and she was raised like this.In the end, the body in the bottle and the wall of the bottle are close to each other and grow together, and the human head outside the bottle grows normally, which is similar to that of appreciating flowers.

The porcelain bottle must not be broken, and the body growing with the bottle is as fragile as porcelain.It fell to pieces, but the blood and internal organs were scattered all over the ground.

The girls sitting around him screamed in fear, but Zhu Yan laughed out loud from the sidelines.The gentleman-looking guest looked at her and asked why she was smiling.

Zhu Huan stopped laughing, seeing those people looking at her, she was a little embarrassed, but she still said: "The person is put in a porcelain vase, and only one head is exposed for feeding, so where does her excrement come from? "

The guest smiled and said, "You are quite interesting."

Zhu Xun quickly took out the wine: "Why don't you join us?"

The guest nodded: "I'll buy all your wine today."

The extravagant guest invited the people at the surrounding tables to drink, and everyone drank and reveled, but no one noticed that the two had disappeared halfway.
