Mai always felt that Binhai City was not that big.Originally, it was just a small fishing village a hundred years ago. Although it has expanded to four districts in the city, and there are several other cities in the surrounding area, it is not considered a big city in general.But now, when they wanted to find someone in this "small" city, they realized that it was such a trouble.

A dragnet-style investigation, a group of people divided into four teams, each with a simulated portrait, rummaged through the streets and alleys of Tao Bar.I searched for three days and found nothing.

Mai Mai is naturally in a group with Shao Jing, but Shao Jing doesn't want him to run around, so sometimes he asks him to go to work in the pastry shop and find someone by himself.Of course, Mai Mai didn't quite agree: "You drive the car, you just get on and off the car, what can I be tired of?"

But Shao Jing was very firm: "It's too hot at noon, so you just stay in the store, and I will naturally pick you up in the afternoon."

Mai felt that this reason was too far-fetched.What's hot?This place in Binhai has an oceanic climate. In summer, the highest temperature is 34-28 degrees, and it is usually around [-] degrees. Compared with the stoves in Chongqing and Wuhan, it is a world of difference.Although there is a saying about autumn tigers, the temperature has dropped to [-] degrees these days, where is the heat unbearable?Could it be that he was made of ice and would melt in the sun?

But protests are protests, and Mai Mai is still obedient.In this extraordinary period, he would listen to what Shao Jing said, lest he would hold back Shao Jing because of his self-assertion.Moreover, Ye Ding has signed up for some training class these days, so he can't come to work in the morning, and Gui Zi'er can't do it alone.However, it didn't feel good for others to watch him do it, which made him a little absent-minded in doing business, and he couldn't help but look outside the door while he was doing it, hoping to see Shao Jing coming over soon.As a result, looking around, Shao Jing didn't come, but saw a person——Hu Tong.

Hu Tong's face was flushed, as if he had run ten or eight miles in the sun, and the steaming heat could be seen on his head.He hid behind the billboard at the bus station and kept looking around nervously. He probably finally determined that no one was paying attention to him, and then jumped into Maimai's pastry shop in a few steps.

It was the afternoon at this time, there were no customers, and the air conditioner in the store was blowing air, which was cool.But as soon as Hu Tong came in, Mai Mai felt that the room was getting hot, like a fire was lit. Looking at Hu Tong again, the first time he came to a cool place, there seemed to be a trace of white gas on the top of his head. , it is a bit surprising.

Gui Zi'er was preparing the ingredients for afternoon tea, when she suddenly felt the scorching heat, she turned around and said, "Maizi, this—"

Hu Tong took a step forward.He recognized Mai, but he didn't know his last name. He heard Guizier call him Maizi, but he didn't dare to call him, "Mr. Mai, me, do you still recognize me?"

"Mr. Hutong?"

"Yes, yes, I am Hu Tong." Hu Tong seemed so excited that he was about to cry, "That day, are the gentlemen who came with you that day there?"

"Did you have something to do with them?" Mai Mai reached into his pocket, and Shao Jing set up a one-key call on his mobile phone, and he could find Shao Jing with one press, Zhou Qi with two presses, and Dongfang Liang with three presses. .

Hu Tong took another step forward with a crying voice: "I, I'm here to find you, please help me! That, that monster, that's a monster!"

The closer he got, the hotter the wheat felt.Zhao Baobao suddenly appeared on his back and wrapped his small hands around his neck: "Uncle, stay away from him, it's so hot!"

Mai Mai touched the baby's small face with his backhand: "It's okay, the baby just stay away."

Hu Tong's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he pointed at the baby tremblingly: "Ghost, ghost fetus! No, ghost baby—"

Mai Mai turned around and put the baby in her arms on the ground: "Mr. Hu, don't yell, you are frightened by ghosts, right? Please go over there and sit quietly, the person you are looking for will be here soon." come over."

Shao Jing came back the fastest, feeling the heat on Hu Tong's body, he took out a piece of talisman without hesitation, and slapped it directly on Hu Tong's forehead, almost as soon as his hand left, the talisman screamed It turned into paper and ashes fell in pieces, not even having time to burn.And after doing this, Hu Tong's face was still flushed, and the top of his head was still steaming white, and he didn't return to normal like the fat man in the pawn shop.

Hu Tong naturally didn't know what the talisman paper was for, but he knew instinctively that it must be because of the heat on his body, so he looked at Shao Jing expectantly, and he didn't use it until the ashes of the paper fell from his forehead. Desperate but with the last bit of hope, he asked: "This, this is, what's going on..."

Shao Jing frowned, looked up at Gui Zi'er and said, "Close the store, you can go too, don't do this business today."

Gui Zi'er was a little worried about Mai Mai, but she was still a little afraid of Shao Jing, so she quickly closed the door and told Ye Ding not to come again in the afternoon, and left.Only then did Shao Jing turn to Hu Tong, who was already sweating profusely from waiting: "Tell me, who did you meet? How did you get transferred, and why did you come back to us now?"

Hu Tong licked his lips. His lips were red and dry. Although he had filled half a bucket of water while waiting for Shao Jing to come back, there was still a layer of white dry skin on his lips: "I, I can't know how to say..."

Shao Jing didn't have much patience with anyone except Mai Mai, especially now that time was running out, so he frowned immediately: "Don't say get out!"

"No, no, I said I said!" Hu Tong was afraid that Shao Jing would really throw him out, so he hurriedly said, "I was not in the stomach—that? After you left, I was scared to death, thinking about it." I still had to go to Yongshao. In the end, Yongshao didn’t see me alive, and even asked his bodyguards to beat me up and throw me out. At that time, I really wanted to die, and suddenly someone came over and asked me if I wanted to live..." He Wiping the sweat off his face, "At that time, I felt that I had encountered a life-saving straw. The man told me that he had a way to get rid of the thing in my stomach, and he could get it on Brother Yong, but the condition was that I would give He works."

Shao Jing said coldly: "Did you listen? Then you made a porcelain pillow and passed the ghost to Tang Yong?"

Hu Tong nodded: "I have done a lot of things for Young Master Yong, but at this time he let go, so I can't make him feel better!" His slender eyes showed a fierce light, like a pair of snake eyes .

Shao Jing sneered: "Don't use Tang Yong as an excuse, don't you know the immoral things you did yourself? Otherwise, how could you become like this today! This is called retribution!"

Hu Tong didn't dare to speak anymore, but he was not very convinced by the look in his eyes. After a while, he continued: "The man told me that he has a way, and of course I agreed. At that time...as long as I can do anything if I can get rid of this thing. The man took me back to his house and made a porcelain pillow like you mentioned. He called it a baby pillow. Anyway, whatever it is, he, he called it I went to the hospital and took part of the child Yao Xiaotao shed to put it in..."

Mai Mai thought for a while about what it means to "get a part of the child", and suddenly figured it out, and then her stomach was overwhelmed.Hu Tong continued to say as if nothing had happened, "I don't know how this person did it. Anyway, I felt hot all over and lost consciousness for a while. When I woke up, the thing in my stomach was gone. Then he let I quietly sent this pillow to Young Master Yong, and then went out to hide, and it will be fine in a week."

Mai Mai couldn't help asking: "So you didn't figure out what happened to that ghost?"

Hu Tong shrank his head: "At that time, I didn't care about what was going on. I left Binhai immediately after giving the porcelain pillow. If Yong Shao caught me, I would definitely be killed by him! Later I heard that Young Master Yong died on the third day?"

Shao Jing nodded casually: "Yes, he is dead. What happened to you later?"

Hu Tong wept sadly: "Then the man said, let me find something for him, as long as we find it, our contract will be terminated. He said that the thing is a piece of jade, but it is not an ordinary jade, it is a bright object. Funeral objects from the tomb."

Shao Jing said calmly, "I know what a bright weapon is. Then, did you find that thing?"

Hu Tong shook his head: "There are so many artifacts in the world for a tomb object, where can I find it? It was the information provided by the man himself. He said that this piece of jade may be in the hands of a Japanese. This Japanese is an interior designer. , named Cang Qiaojun. This person appeared in Jinan in March this year, then he came to Jiaozhou, and then to Binhai. Now he suddenly disappeared from Binhai, including the piece of jade, so I only You can look for it in places where he has appeared."

Shao Jing interrupted him: "Do you know Fang Ningyuan?"

Hu Tong was stunned for a moment: "Fang Ningyuan? I don't know..."

"Just to remind you, the one who talked to you at the Jinan Medical Academic Exchange Conference."

"Ah, ah——" Hu Tong finally remembered, "Yes, there is such a person, yes, surnamed Fang, who gave me a business card, but I don't remember his name."

"Why are you talking to him?"

Hu Tong lowered his head: "Because, because of my body—ever since I met that person, I always feel hot on my body. I drink water endlessly all day, and I feel that every pore is burning out. I, I just I can find someone to pass on the heat of my body to them, and I will be more comfortable."

Upon hearing this, Shao Jing immediately pushed Mai Mai back a little: "Did he touch you?"

"No!" Hu Tong quickly clarified, "How dare I do that."

Shao Jing stared at him for a while: "Then, do you know how you got this situation?"

Hu Tong gritted his teeth and said, "It's that person, that person, that person is a monster!"

"Monster? What kind of strange method?"

"The heat on my body is transmitted from him. I have seen him pass it to other people. Also, this person, this person—" Hu Tong waved his hands and didn't know how to make gestures, "He is really A monster, maybe an immortal monster!"

"Oh?" Shao Jing raised his eyebrows, "How do you know he is immortal?"

"Then what, didn't he ask me to find that piece of jade? I often go to the antique market. Once I walked to a stall, and it was all things from the Cultural Revolution period, such as badges, armbands, and some preserved ones. I, do you know? I saw him in a newspaper more than 30 years ago! It was a report about learning from Dazhai in the frontier. He! And the photo is very clear! Although the costume is far from the present, I will definitely not mistake that face, it is him!"

Shao Jing frowned: "You mean, the photo in the newspaper 30 years ago is the person now?"

"Absolutely! And that appearance has not changed at all! 30 years ago, he looked about 30 years old, and now he still looks like this. You say, isn't this a monster? Since that time, I have been paying attention to him. I found that he still has many differences from others. For example, I have never seen him eat or sleep."

Shao Jing sneered: "You live together? Do you know if he sleeps or not?"

Hu Tong exclaimed: "I'm telling the truth! After I saw his photo in the newspaper, I observed it carefully. He might not notice some things if he didn't observe them. Once he observed them, he felt something was wrong. For example, I went to find He, no matter how early, he has always been up, and dressed neatly. Of course, it is also possible that he got up early, but it is certain that he does not eat. I stayed in his shop for a while, and never I have seen him eat, absolutely not.”

Shao Jing and Mai Mai glanced at each other, and Shao Jing asked, "Then why are you looking for us now?"

"Please help me, I know you know about these gods and ghosts. That man is a monster, I don't want to always follow a monster, I'm afraid that one day I will be burned to death by this heat! I feel now I can’t eat or sleep well every day, and feel uncomfortable all over the body. From time to time, I feel irritated. Sometimes, sometimes when I walk on the street and see that car running back and forth, I am so annoyed that I want to rush over and hit it—once I They were all in a daze, and even ran into the middle of the road. If the driver hadn't braked, I might have--I'd be scared after thinking about it! If I stay with this monster again, I might die someday without knowing how!"

Shao Jing pondered for a while: "How do you know we can help you?"

Hu Tong murmured: "I, I asked Xiaoye about it. Also, I felt a little more comfortable after the thing you pasted on my head just now. You must be able to help me, right? "

Shao Jing thought for a while: "Do you know how he managed to live forever?"

Hu Tong shook his head.Shao Jing frowned: "Then have you ever asked him what he is looking for that piece of jadeite for?"

Hu Tong still shook his head: "I asked, but he said it was for collecting. I think he must have lied to me. I also know a little about antiques. A piece of jade is not very big. If it wasn't for some old famous antiques The ones that come out of the tomb are not worth much, why do you have to look for them?"

Xiaomai suddenly remembered something, and interjected to ask, "Then did you see that person wearing a ruby?"

Hu Tong suddenly remembered: "Yes, yes! He did wear a ruby ​​around his neck, the size of an apricot pit, and the color is really good. But it is not an authentic ruby, it should be something commonly called a Barras ruby. That I know something, it is actually a red spinel, there are large pieces, rubies are generally small in size, if there is a piece as big as an apricot stone, it is really worth old money—”

Shao Jing interrupted him rudely: "Stop talking nonsense!" Turning to Mai Mai, "Stay away, it's best to go outside."

Mai Xiao guessed that he was going to bring out the Yin jade, so she nodded obediently and went out.He was standing on the street, holding on to the rolling shutter door worriedly, trying to look in, but Gui Zier had been released too thoroughly, so he couldn't see anything, but suddenly he heard a sound like firecrackers going off, and Hu Tong screamed, and there was nothing. It's quiet.Mai Mai was in a hurry, ignored Shao Jing's words, opened the door and rushed in, but the room was fine, Shao Jing and Hu Tong were standing there, and Hu Tong's face had returned to the look of ordinary people, full of Face of disbelief and surprise.

"All right?"

"Okay." Shao Jing carefully wrapped Yin Yu up and put it back in his pocket, then glared at Mai Mai: "What are you doing here!"

Hu Tong was still groping around in disbelief, Shao Jing looked at him coldly: "It's done, you don't need to grope blindly. Who is that person and where is it, let's talk now."

Hu Tong felt it for a long time, and felt that the burning feeling in his body was gone, and he couldn't help but burst into ecstasy: "That man's name is Xie Qi, of course he said it himself, I dare not say if it's his real name. He is Tao. In a residential building on Shandong Road, you can’t see it from the outside, you have to go up to the eighth floor, room 802.”

Shao Jing murmured, "What are you going to do now?"

Hu Tong was still excited: "I, I have to go out and hide. The matter with Young Master Yong seems to be unresolved. I have to avoid the limelight. Thank you, I'm leaving."

Seeing him walking out of the store almost dancing, Mai Mai turned around and asked Shao Jing, "What's the matter with that sound like setting off firecrackers just now?"

Shao Jing shrugged: "Probably because the yang energy in his body is too strong, when Yin Yu touches him, even sparks burst out, it's really—"

Before Shao Jing finished speaking, there was a harsh tire rubbing sound on the road, and then passers-by screamed.Mai Mai and Shao Jing rushed to the door to see that a black unlicensed Audi was driving away, and there was a person lying on the side of the road, it was Hu Tong who had just left.Shao Jing rushed over in a few steps, and there was a pool of blood under Hu Tong's body, his eyes were open blankly, and his lips squirmed slightly: "Yong, Yong—" Before he could say the last word, he swallowed his breath.
