Green Lantern
Chapter 5 (9)
After waiting for a long time, the magnet swayed and stopped in the southwest and west.
Fan Wujiu slapped the jade compass in Qingsong's outstretched hand, "Keep it well, learn how to use it, don't bury this thing."
Qingsong carefully put away the compass, while nodding hastily.
"Is it at that location?" Fan Wujiu didn't care about Qingsong's reaction anymore, but frowned, and looked to the southwest, there was only one room there, but the two of them searched it just now, and there was nothing in it.
"Go and have a look. This time is not that time, so it may not be empty." Xie Bi'an naturally saw Fan Wujiu's uncertainty, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and walked to that room first.
At dusk, the lobby of the Mingyao Inn.
"So the two of you just brought a little thing here to drink tea with me?" Xuan Ming was wrapped in clothes made of fire phoenix feathers, holding a hand warmer in his arms, lazily curled up against the beauty, a little dissatisfied Looking at the two Impermanence in front of me.
"I've caused you trouble again this time, and I'm really panicking. But this matter still needs your help, thank you very much." Xie Bi'an cupped his hands at Xuan Ming, and said apologetically.
"This little guy left his body before the end of his lifespan, and he died young, so it's not even a useless death. It's no wonder that we can't feel his breath, and we can't find him there. But this He can't enter reincarnation at all, and we can't just throw him in the human world casually. You don't care who cares." Fan Wujiu didn't bother to talk to Xuan Ming, and said directly.
"In this case, this is indeed within the scope of the inn's work." Xuan Ming nodded, just about to reach out to touch his chin, but quickly retracted his hand into his clothes.
"So I'll leave this little guy to you. We still have work to do, so we don't need to send it off." Fan Wujiu announced directly, pulled Xie Bi'an and walked out the door, obviously looking like he didn't want to stay for a moment.
Xie Bi'an only had time to nod to everyone in the hall before being dragged away by Fan Wujiu.
Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Xuan Ming smiled inscrutably, and said to Yuzi, who was waiting beside him, with a smile, "Count the tea money into the accommodation expenses of those ghosts, and don't forget it when you pay." Xuan Ming looked at the little guy who was left behind by the two, "This little guy will live in the guest room in the east wing for a few days, Shen Hao, remember to register. My inn is not for nothing."
Under Xuan Ming's gaze, the little boy shrank his shoulders in fear. He was wearing a white shirt and suspenders. Judging from the material, he should have been born in a family with good conditions, even a wealthy family.
The little boy looked about seven or eight years old. Compared with children of the same age, he was a little thin, but he was not short, but he looked even thinner this way, standing there like a thin bamboo.
Ruosheng saw the scared look of the little boy with shrunken shoulders, couldn't help but overflow with sympathy, stepped forward a few steps, pulled the little boy to his side, and helped him block Xuan Min's scrutinizing gaze.
"It's just such a small thing, I wouldn't do anything to him." Xuan Ming raised the corners of his mouth a little funny, and looked at Ruosheng with a smile.
"The little girl just thinks that this child hits me, she likes it very much, and can't help but want to get close to him. I dare to ask, I don't know how Master Xuanming is going to deal with this matter?" Ruosheng bent over and looked at Xuan Ming asked with a smile.
"Xiao Hao, I heard from Xiao Mo that you have made great progress in the past two months." Xuan Ming just smiled, and did not directly answer Ruo Sheng's question, but turned his head to look at Shen Hao, "The previous few cases You have also followed them, this time you have to solve it by yourself. If you encounter trouble, you can ask Xiao Mo, I believe he is willing to teach you how to deal with it. "
"Ah?" Shen Hao didn't expect Xuan Min to throw a case to himself like this, he didn't react for a while, but still nodded with frowns.
Seeing that Xuan Min didn't intend to say anything more, Shen Hao stretched out his hand to hold the little boy's hand, and followed Ruo Sheng, a big tail, to the East Chamber.
"Hao, what are you going to do?" After walking a few steps, Ruosheng grabbed Shen Hao's sleeve, looked up at him, and asked with a smile.
Shen Hao withdrew his hand calmly, looked down at the little boy who was also looking up at him, "He can't stay in the inn all the time, he will enter reincarnation after all."
"And then? What I'm asking is what are you going to do." Ruosheng smiled, and took back his hand indifferently, but moved closer to Shen Hao when he was asking.
"The fact that he died young can't be changed, but we can help him find his body, and he can enter the city of death with his body completely, and he can live there until he can enter the pool of reincarnation." Shen Hao took a step back, somewhat helplessly Move to the other side of the little boy, let the little boy stand between him and Ruosheng, to prevent Ruosheng from getting close to him again.
Ruosheng took a step back in frustration, and also took the little boy's hand, "Little guy, can you tell me your name?"
"Ye Xiaoyu." The little boy whispered, lowering his head and staring at his toes.
"Little fish, what a cute name." Ruosheng reached out and patted the top of the little guy's head, "Your parents must hope that you can jump over the dragon gate and transform into a dragon."
"Yuyuelongmen?" Ye Xiaoyu's voice was still low. After a while, he looked up at Ruosheng, "Do they really want that? Don't they hate Xiaoyu?"
"Of course, they don't hate Xiaoyu at all." Ruosheng assured with a smile.
At that moment, both Shen Hao and Ruosheng saw Ye Xiaoyu's first smile after meeting, a big smile, a smile that makes people feel warm, a smile that people want to keep.
The author has something to say:
☆、The Slope of Fallen Flowers-No Clues
Shen Hao watched as Ruosheng took Ye Xiaoyu into the room to settle down, told Huang Yan that he needed to record the account book, then turned and walked to Mo You's study, thinking that he had been out for so long and hadn't greeted his master, I'm afraid it's not very appropriate.
"Tut, duk." Shen Hao stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, but no one answered, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Shen Hao, are you looking for Big Brother Mo You?" Huang Yan happened to pass by and patted Shen Hao on the shoulder, "I saw him go out just now, so come back later. Big Brother Mo You seems to be a workaholic who often goes out recently. really weird."
Shen Hao nodded, he was also a little strange, but it was inconvenient to ask directly.Now that Master is not at the inn, we can only report to him later.
However, until the next morning when Shen Hao went out, he couldn't wait for Mo You to come back, and asked Yuzi to confirm that the other party hadn't returned all night.
"Your master is so powerful, are you still worried that he will be in danger?" Ruosheng held Ye Xiaoyu's hand, approached Shen Hao and said with a smile.
"No, I just wanted to ask Master about something." Shen Hao shook his head and found an excuse to prevaricate, "Let's go, let's go to that apartment again, Xiaoyu, if you remember something, you must tell us."
"Yeah." Ye Xiaoyu nodded obediently, tightened Ruosheng's hand, shrank by her side, and followed the two out of the inn.
Seeing the backs of the three leaving, Yuzi tilted her head to Mo You who appeared at the door at some unknown time, "Do they look like a family of three?"
Mo You narrowed his eyes, looked down at Yuzu, "I don't mind destroying this puppet of yours."
"Hehe, Brother Moyou, after working with you for so many years, this is the first time I've seen you so unable to control your emotions." The pomelo puppet raised its head and curled the corners of its mouth stiffly.
"Shen Hao is a human being, how could he be with a ghost clan." Mo You frowned slightly, and slowly clenched his right hand.
"Brother Moyou, don't forget that Shen Hao is a human being." The pomelo puppet continued to talk, then turned and left.
Regardless of how Mo You flung his sleeves away, the three of Shen Hao walked through the maze alley, arrived at the apartment building again, walked into the dark corridor, and climbed up to the fourteenth floor.
After Ye Xiaoyu was taken away by Shen Hao yesterday, this floor did not look so gloomy.The sun shines through some dirty glass in the dark corridor, the only sound-activated light on the top that has not been broken suddenly lights up with the sound of Shen Hao's footsteps, but what the dim light brings is not what belongs to the sun. warmth.
"Xiaoyu, do you have any impression of this place?" Shen Hao reached out to touch Ye Xiaoyu's head, and asked softly in a gentle voice.
Ye Xiaoyu shook her head, looked around with blank eyes, "I was here when I woke up, I don't remember anything else."
Shen Hao was not discouraged, but led the two of them into the room where Ye Xiaoyu was found yesterday.
This room, like the whole apartment building, has a heavy sense of history, or it can be said that it is very dilapidated.There was a smell of dust in the air, and there was a thick pile of dust on the floor and the furniture that was almost negligible.
"No one has lived here for a long time." Shen Hao looked at the only footprint he had left on the ground, and couldn't help covering his mouth and nose with his hands to avoid being choked by the dust that was accidentally raised.
"Hao." Ruosheng stretched out his hand to wave at Shen Hao, and when the other party moved in front of her helplessly, he threw himself on Shen Hao's shoulder, leaned close to Shen Hao's ear and blew, and when the other party was about to push her Before pushing away, he said in Shen Hao's ear, "I've smelled it carefully, there is no bloody smell here, and the little fish didn't die here."
Shen Hao couldn't push Ruosheng away directly, so he could only take a few steps back helplessly, keeping a safe distance from her, took out his phone and called Bai Yanxiao, "Officer Bai, yes, it's me. I asked you about yesterday... ...No? There are no cases of missing or accidental deaths of children around here? Not only recently, but in the past few years....Okay, call me if you have any news....I want to ask, Golden Pavilion Apartment ...Uh, who lived in Room 3 on the fourteenth floor of Building 1404? Okay, waiting for your news."
"Hao, is there no news?" Ruosheng lowered his head and glanced at Ye Xiaoyu who had been staring at the two blankly.
"Well, there is no news yet." Shen Hao also looked down, "Let's look for any clues here first."
Shen Hao took out a "Guishui Talisman", crushed it at his fingertips, a jet of water burst out from his palm, the amount of water was much larger than before, at least not enough to extinguish even a small spark.Following Shen Hao's guidance, the water column wandered around the room, absorbing all the dust.In a short while, the room was completely new.
Shen Hao pointed to the cabinet in the corner of the room, "Ruosheng, look there, I'll look here to see if there is anything, if there is any imprint, remember to tell me."
Ruosheng nodded, lifted the hem of the skirt, and walked towards the cabinet with Ye Xiaoyu.
The room is very small, and the so-called furniture is nothing more than a double bed, a large cabinet, and a square table.It didn't take long for a few people to rummage through the room.
Ruosheng sat on the edge of the bed with the only trophy they had, and picked up Ye Xiaoyu and put it beside him.Shen Hao had no choice but to sit down on the other side of Ye Xiaoyu. From such a close distance, he could clearly smell the fragrance of Ruosheng's body.
Ruosheng stretched out his light white fingers, and patted the dusty photo album in his hand.The cover of the album features a kitten sleeping in a basket.Opening the hard cover of the album, a photo of a newborn baby was displayed in front of several people.
"On December 04, 12, Xiao Yu'er was born, wrinkled and not good-looking at all." Ruosheng softly read out the blurred handwriting next to the photo.
"On January 05, 1, Xiaoyu'er was full moon, and she didn't look as ugly as before. I just said, how could my child be ugly?" Ruosheng then turned a page, and you can see Xiaoyu'er The baby was sleeping on the bed wearing a red bellyband, which looked like the double bed where several people were sitting.
"December 05th, 12, today is Xiao Yuer's birthday. It's strange that I hugged a cat that suddenly came over when I was catching Zhou. What does this mean? Forget it, never mind, my son must be The best!" In the photo on the next page, the little guy is hugging a big white cat, looking at the camera in a daze.
Afterwards, there were many blank pages, and the transparent bag in which the photos were placed had signs of being used. It seemed that someone had taken those photos. "December 06, 12, today is Xiaoyuer's 10nd birthday. Xiaoyuer must be the reincarnation of a lucky star, and our life is getting better and better." In the photo, there are still several people staying in this room, but You can see that there are many electrical appliances in it.
"On June 07, 6, my family already had the money to buy a big house, but Xiao Yu'er seemed unwilling to leave here, crying so sadly, so I decided not to move for now. In fact, I was a little bit reluctant." In the photo , the little guy in a handsome navy suit was crying ugly.
"October 07, 10, the little guy seems to like reading books, and he will definitely become a handsome young man in the future!"
Shen Hao reached out his hand to stop Ruosheng who was about to continue looking down, took the photo album over, and directly turned to the last page.In the photo, a young boy in a school uniform is holding a big white cat, and there are only three pieces of furniture in front of him, with a sign saying, "Moved."
The young boy in the photo had a familiar face to all three of them, and he was Ye Xiaoyu.
"This is Xiaoyu's former home." Ruosheng looked up at Shen Hao, "He has a deep obsession with this place, no wonder he stays here." Saying that, Ruosheng couldn't help but hug Ye Xiaoyu shoulders.
"Xiaoyu, do you have any impression of this place?" Shen Hao lowered his head and asked Ye Xiaoyu who was curled up in Ruosheng's arms.
Ye Xiaoyu shook her head, and suddenly snatched the photo album from Shen Hao's hand, flipped forward a few pages, there was a family of three in that photo, "Dad... Mom..."
"Xiaoyu, do you remember them?" Ruosheng approached Ye Xiaoyu's small face and asked softly.
Ye Xiaoyu shook her head blankly, "I don't remember. I don't remember here..."
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you can't remember it, I will definitely help you. There are no other clues here, let's go back first, and hope that Officer Bai can make some progress." Shen Hao touched Ye Xiaoyu's head, Stand up and walk out the door.
Ruosheng pulled Ye Xiaoyu up and followed Shen Hao closely.It's just that neither Ruosheng nor Shen Hao noticed Ye Xiaoyu's last glance out the window.
In the bushes outside the window, Kong Qiu was lazily lying on the branch, her long tail flicked, her amber cat pupils narrowed slightly, but she was always paying attention to the actions of the three people in the room, "Brother Moyou is really serious." If you don't worry, just come and watch it yourself, and I want you to be the bodyguard, so I can't even sleep."
"Are they going back?" Kong Qiu saw the three people walking out the door, stood up and stretched a lot, flexed his bones, and jumped from the tree to the nearby roof with a light leap. Hiding his own figure, he waited for a few people to come out of the building, "It's quite early today, but unfortunately I didn't find any clues. Maybe I still need to come out in the end, because I said that Shen Hao can't handle this case." , the boss still doesn't believe it, hey."
The author has something to say: I hope you like the winter vacation benefits. If possible, can I receive your New Year greetings?
☆, Fallen Hills - New Clues
In the end, the few people did not find any useful clues except for the photo album, so they had to leave the apartment with the photo album.The three went downstairs along the stairs, Ruosheng was still holding Ye Xiaoyu's hand.
Shen Hao sideways to get out of the way of the oncoming young people. He didn't expect to spend so long just looking at the photo album. It's already evening, and it's the time for office workers to get off work.
The sky began to turn yellow, the clouds on the horizon changed color, and the cold wind caressed the trees with bare branches, bringing a bleak coolness.
There are no old people wandering around and children playing in the community, only Guiren hastily passed by the three of them, and in those gradually lit lights, maybe someone is waiting for them to go home.
Shen Hao walked against the flow of people, his eyes flicked across passers-by's faces flushed by the cold wind, street lamps with broken bulbs, ivy with withered leaves, and the darkness hidden in the corner of the wall.
"Xiaoyu, do you really have no impression of this place?" Shen Hao lowered his head and asked softly. It stands to reason that Ye Xiaoyu should have a deep memory and obsession with this place, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to linger after death and become an earthly place. Bound spirit.
Ye Xiaoyu just shook her head wordlessly, biting her already pale lips tightly with her small teeth.He held Ruosheng's little hand tightly, and at the same time leaned closer to Ruosheng.
"Hao, it's fine if he can't remember, you scared him." Ruosheng grasped Ye Xiaoyu's hand a little disapprovingly, and for the first time scolded Shen Hao a little more, and looked at him more. A touch of disapproval.
"It's impossible for him to stay in the world like this all the time. It would be better to find the corpse earlier and enter the city of vain death." Shen Hao said in a deep voice.But seeing Ye Xiaoyu shrank back and hid beside Ruosheng, he couldn't say anything more.
Since the clues were temporarily cut off and Ye Xiaoyu couldn't remember anything, Shen Hao and Ruosheng discussed going back to the inn first, and wait to see if there are any new clues from Bai Yanxiao's side. It would be even better if they could find Ye Xiaoyu's parents. alright.
On the way they were walking towards the labyrinth alley, Ruosheng suddenly felt that Ye Xiaoyu was gripping her hand tightly, and her footsteps also slowed down, so she lowered her head and looked at Ye Xiaoyu questioningly.
Shen Hao also stopped and followed Ye Xiaoyu's gaze to look forward, but he didn't see anything strange.He just saw a pregnant woman walking by with a bag of things, touching his swollen belly with the other hand from time to time, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Xiaoyu, what's the matter?" Ruosheng squatted down, slightly raised his head to look into Ye Xiaoyu's eyes, and asked strangely.
Ye Xiaoyu didn't answer, but turned to look at the pregnant woman, and kept watching until she disappeared at the next turn, then turned to look at Ruosheng who was squatting in front of her, bit her lip and shook her head.
"Ruosheng, is there any problem with that pregnant woman?" Shen Hao bent slightly, looked down at Ruosheng, and asked with a slight frown.Strange in his heart, he didn't feel that there was something wrong with the pregnant woman at all. No matter how he looked at it, she was just an ordinary human being, one of the mortal beings.
Ruosheng stood up, rubbed his knees that were a little numb from squatting, took a step forward, and moved closer to Shen Hao's ear, "Shh, Xiaoyu's mood swings just now are not resentment, but envy."
Shen Hao moved his body back, but he didn't directly push Ruosheng away, because he felt that Ruosheng spoke close to him not because he wanted to do something, but because he didn't want Ye Xiaoyu to hear him. "It is possible that Xiaoyu has a younger brother or younger sister, and his parents care about his younger siblings and ignore him."
"Isn't it normal to have many younger brothers and sisters? There's nothing to be envious of. Brothers and sisters are supposed to take care of younger brothers and sisters." Ruosheng pointed his chin with his index finger, blinked his eyes strangely, and said a little puzzled.
"..." Shen Hao suddenly remembered that Ruosheng had lived for at least 500 years. At that time, which family had many children, unlike the one or two now, he really didn't know how to explain this feeling to Ruosheng.
"Sister, I'm cold..." Just as Shen Hao was about to explain to Ruosheng, he suddenly heard Ye Xiaoyu say in a trembling voice.
The two hurriedly looked at Ye Xiaoyu, only to see that his body was dripping with water, his clothes were already soaked, and those drops of water fell on the ground, wet the ground under his feet.
Ye Xiaoyu's lips turned purple, he shrunk his shoulders, hugged himself tightly with his hands, and seemed to feel very cold.
"This is..." Shen Hao didn't know what was going on, how did Ye Xiaoyu become like this all of a sudden, he froze on the spot for a moment, at a loss.
"This is the mark of death, take him back to the inn!" Ruosheng hurriedly said, pulled Ye Xiaoyu up and ran towards the maze alley.
"Let me do it." Shen Hao didn't care about Ye Xiaoyu's cold and wet body, picked him up and took Ruosheng into the alley.
The moment he picked up Ye Xiaoyu, Shen Hao couldn't help shivering, he didn't expect Ye Xiaoyu to be so cold, it felt like he was hugging a big block of ice.
After entering the labyrinth alley, Shen Hao obviously felt that Ye Xiaoyu didn't continue to tremble, although the cold feeling from the contact place didn't change.Shen Hao calmed down a lot, but to avoid further accidents, he still couldn't help speeding up his pace.
"What's the matter with you?" Yuzi standing at the door looked at the few people who were running in a panic and hurriedly let them into the inn.
Stepping into the enchantment of the inn, Ye Xiaoyu stopped dripping water, and his body gradually warmed up, and soon it was no longer cold.
Seeing Ye Xiaoyu's condition stabilized, Shen Hao thought about the situation just now, "Ruosheng, you said this is the mark of death? What is that?"
Ruosheng asked Yuzi to take Ye Xiaoyu back to the room to rest before explaining, "Although Xiaoyu has no memory of death, his body remembers what he looked like when he died. This is the imprint of death."
"It's just Xiaoyu's appearance when he died? But wasn't it normal before?" Shen Hao asked strangely.
"Once the soul that stays in the world leaves a specific place, it will show a death mark." Ruosheng shrugged.
"A specific place?" Shen Hao frowned and asked with some doubts.
"Ye Xiaoyu is an earth-bound spirit. When he was in that apartment, it was equivalent to staying in the past time, so he was the same as before, no matter how long it took. But once he left that apartment, he It will gradually show the mark of death. I was negligent today." Ruosheng said with a sigh, looking helplessly in the direction Ye Xiaoyu left.If she could remember this, she would keep nourishing Ye Xiaoyu's soul with ghost energy, so she wouldn't let him suffer like this.
"If the mark of death appears, it is equivalent to the soul repeating the moment of death, which will do great harm to the soul. It is easy to be unable to bear the torture and become a ghost or lose one's soul." Ruosheng explained seriously.
"I'm Yanmei, not an ordinary ghost, so I don't have any marks of death, so you don't have to be afraid." Ruosheng teased Shen Hao with a smile, saying that she would not suddenly become a scary person, " In fact, ghosts generally, will not show the mark of death, and most of them will remain as they were before they were alive. Only these souls who stay in the world need to worry about the mark of death."
"Xiaoyu is fine in the inn because of the enchantment in the inn. The breath here can make him temporarily become a ghost and keep his appearance when he was alive." Ruosheng finished his explanation proudly.
Shen Hao nodded, stroked his chin and said, "This way we have a new clue."
"Well, Xiaoyu probably drowned. Even if not, it must have something to do with the water." Ruosheng also nodded. "Think about the rest slowly, I'll go and see how Xiaoyu is doing."
"Well, you go." Shen Hao pursed his lips, watched Ruosheng leave, then turned and walked to Mo You's study, muttering, "The scope of the search is a little smaller, and I don't know where Police Officer Bai is. Have you found anything?"
"Are you back? Come in." Before Shen Hao reached the door, Mo You saw Shen Hao through the open window and said directly.
"Master." Shen Hao pushed the door open, stood respectfully by the desk, picked up the ink sticks on the table and began to help Mo You study the ink.
"How's the case?" Mo You dipped his hand into the ink, glanced at Shen Hao, and asked.
"There hasn't been much progress yet, but Xiaoyu has shown a death mark today, so he has a new clue." Shen Hao replied obediently, and the movements in his hands did not stop.
"Yeah." Mo You just nodded, "Is there anything you don't understand?"
"Not yet, I believe there will be new progress soon." Shen Hao said with downcast eyes, the thick ink seeped out little by little during the constant friction between the ink stick and the inkstone, covering the inkstone.
Mo You stretched out his hand to stop Shen Hao's movement, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you do anything during the two days' practice?"
"I did what I did yesterday, but I haven't had time to do what I did today." Shen Hao lowered his head and said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, just remember." Mo You didn't mean to blame, and pointed to Shen Hao's usual position, "Sit down, let's learn the superposition of five-element talismans today."
"Yes, Master." Shen Hao took out the needed talisman-making tools from the cabinet and prepared them.
"The five elements, mutual generation and mutual restraint. Metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal..."
When carrying the grapefruit on the tray, he heard Mo You's deep voice, interspersed with Shen Hao's occasional questions.Youzi couldn't help but smile with the corners of her mouth pulled up, pushed the door and entered the main hall where Xuan Ming was staying, and heard that there would be guests coming soon.
The author has something to say:
☆、The Slope of Fallen Flowers-Old Testimony
After a whole night of hard work, Shen Hao finally completed his practice, holding a stack of talisman papers in his hand, while continuing to think about the problem of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, he walked to the study in the east chamber.
Shen Hao pushed the door open and was taken aback by the two people who were drinking tea in the room, "Officer Bai, Qingsong, why are you here?"
"I couldn't get in touch with you, so I had to ask Qingsong to bring me here." Bai Yanxiao put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Shen Hao and said.
Shen Hao remembered that there was no mobile phone signal in the inn, so he sat down on the chair opposite Bai Yanxiao in embarrassment, "What news did Police Officer Bai find out?"
"I have found information about the owner of the room you asked me to check. But there is only a record of their account moving out, and the address they settled in after that is not their residence. I have contacted the police station over there, but there is no sign of them for the time being." news." Bai Yanxiao shook his head helplessly, expressing that he was also a little helpless.
"Anyway, I still hope you can help me contact Xiaoyu's parents, please." Shen Hao couldn't help but say seriously when he thought of Ye Xiaoyu's envious expression when he looked at the pregnant woman.
"No problem, I will try my best." Bai Yanxiao nodded, "By the way, all the information about the child named Ye Xiaoyu you mentioned is here. This is the filing record at that time." Then, Bai Yanxiao put a small stack of documents on the table in front of Shen Hao.
"Only these?" Shen Hao reached out to pick up the stack of documents, flipped through them and said.
"It's just a seven-year-old child, how much material do you expect to have?" Bai Yanxiao said with some amusement, "Well, Yingcai Primary School is the school Ye Xiaoyu originally attended."
"Did he disappear after school?" Shen Hao quickly turned to the report of Ye Xiaoyu's disappearance, "Did the police find anything at that time?"
"At that time, a big case happened in the province, and almost all the police stations were chasing fugitives, so this case didn't get enough attention." Bai Yanxiao came over to look at the report, "That year I just transferred to The local police station, I took over the case."
"You gave up on this case?" Shen Hao raised his head and looked at Bai Yanxiao strangely. Based on what he knew these days, how could such a serious and serious person like Bai Yanxiao give up a missing case so easily, but if he didn't give up, why didn't he find it in the end? Ye Xiaoyu's body.
"It was the child's parents who gave up. At that time, the child's mother was about to give birth, because of this incident, the miscarriage was almost aborted, and the family moved away soon afterward. Therefore, the case was dropped." Bai Yanxiao He closed his eyes and said helplessly.
"This is Teacher Xiaoyu's confession, is it convenient for us to visit her?" Shen Hao took out a piece of paper, clicked on the name on it and said, "Since Xiaoyu disappeared on the way home from school, let's not judge When was he killed, I want to take him to walk the original path, maybe he will remember something."
"No problem. I checked before I came. That teacher Chen is still teaching in Yingcai Primary School. It's nine o'clock, so he should be in class." Bai Yanxiao looked at his watch and nodded.
"I won't go with you guys. I still have a case in hand. I have an appointment to see the client at eleven o'clock." Qingsong picked up his things, nodded at several people, and left first.
"Yuzi, can you help me bring Xiaoyu here?" Shen Hao said to the puppet cleaning the veranda outside the window.
The puppet nodded and continued with the work at hand.
"This is?" Seeing such a communication method, Bai Yanxiao couldn't help asking curiously.
"This is Yuzu's puppet. It can help to send a message to Yuzi. Xiaoyu will come over later. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Officer Bai to accompany me today." Shen Hao explained with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. This is my unfinished case. If I can really find that child's body, it will be my wish." Bai Yanxiao shook his head and said with some emotion.
Sure enough, after a while, Ruosheng walked in holding Ye Xiaoyu's hand, "Hao, are you taking Xiaoyu out?"
"Well, I found some news about his life, I want to take him to have a look, maybe he can think about something." Shen Hao glanced at Ye Xiaoyu who lowered his head, and said softly.
"It's good if you can remember it." Ruosheng felt Ye Xiaoyu's grip on her hand tightly, and touched the back of Ye Xiaoyu's hand with the other comfortingly, "I'll go with you too, You don't want to see the little fish tortured by the death mark either."
"Well, Police Officer Bai, let's go." Shen Hao didn't refuse, packed up Ye Xiaoyu's materials, and greeted Bai Yanxiao.
Shen Hao found that Bai Yanxiao had been secretly looking at Ruosheng beside him, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said, "Why, Officer Bai can't move his eyes when he sees a beautiful woman?"
"Ah?" Bai Yanxiao was stunned for a moment, then shook her hand and said, "No, I just feel like I've seen this before..."
"What?" Shen Hao couldn't hear what Bai Yanxiao said at the end, so he couldn't help asking.
"It's nothing, if she goes out like this, people who see her will find it strange?" Bai Yanxiao said, looking at Ruosheng's red dress again.
"No, neither of them is human, and humans cannot see them." Shen Hao said nonchalantly, and reached out to rub Ye Xiaoyu's curled hair.
"I... Huh? Where is the person?" Bai Yanxiao, who stepped out of the inn gate, just wanted to ask why he could see it, when he found that Shen Hao had disappeared beside him.
"As I said, human beings can't see them, they are standing next to me." Shen Hao glanced at Ruosheng who was smiling with his mouth covered, and said helplessly.
Looking at the empty place, Bai Yanxiao couldn't help shivering, "Let's go quickly."
Shen Hao led a few people through the labyrinth alley, and soon stood at the gate of Yingcai Primary School, "This is it."
"En." Bai Yanxiao nodded, tried not to look at Shen Hao's side, walked forward and showed her passport to the security guard in the guard room, and stated her intention of coming.
"Shen Hao, let's go." Bai Yanxiao turned around to greet Shen Hao, thanked the security guard, and walked towards the teaching building.
"Mr. Chen just doesn't have class this session, let's go to the office to find her." Bai Yanxiao explained.
Shen Hao nodded, followed Bai Yanxiao's footsteps, and of course he didn't forget to watch Ye Xiaoyu's reaction carefully.I saw him looking around all the time, but he was more curious about this place, and he didn't seem to be very impressed.
"Tut, duk." Bai Yanxiao reached out and knocked on the door, "Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Bai Yanxiao from the police station, do you still remember?"
Shen Hao couldn't help but look at Teacher Chen in front of him. She looked about 50 years old, she was a kind-hearted woman with a little fat, but one could imagine that she must have been a beautiful woman when she was young.
"It turned out to be Xiaobai. I remember you. I heard that you came to see me. What's the matter?" Teacher Chen stood up and led the two of them to sit on the chair beside him.
Fan Wujiu slapped the jade compass in Qingsong's outstretched hand, "Keep it well, learn how to use it, don't bury this thing."
Qingsong carefully put away the compass, while nodding hastily.
"Is it at that location?" Fan Wujiu didn't care about Qingsong's reaction anymore, but frowned, and looked to the southwest, there was only one room there, but the two of them searched it just now, and there was nothing in it.
"Go and have a look. This time is not that time, so it may not be empty." Xie Bi'an naturally saw Fan Wujiu's uncertainty, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and walked to that room first.
At dusk, the lobby of the Mingyao Inn.
"So the two of you just brought a little thing here to drink tea with me?" Xuan Ming was wrapped in clothes made of fire phoenix feathers, holding a hand warmer in his arms, lazily curled up against the beauty, a little dissatisfied Looking at the two Impermanence in front of me.
"I've caused you trouble again this time, and I'm really panicking. But this matter still needs your help, thank you very much." Xie Bi'an cupped his hands at Xuan Ming, and said apologetically.
"This little guy left his body before the end of his lifespan, and he died young, so it's not even a useless death. It's no wonder that we can't feel his breath, and we can't find him there. But this He can't enter reincarnation at all, and we can't just throw him in the human world casually. You don't care who cares." Fan Wujiu didn't bother to talk to Xuan Ming, and said directly.
"In this case, this is indeed within the scope of the inn's work." Xuan Ming nodded, just about to reach out to touch his chin, but quickly retracted his hand into his clothes.
"So I'll leave this little guy to you. We still have work to do, so we don't need to send it off." Fan Wujiu announced directly, pulled Xie Bi'an and walked out the door, obviously looking like he didn't want to stay for a moment.
Xie Bi'an only had time to nod to everyone in the hall before being dragged away by Fan Wujiu.
Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Xuan Ming smiled inscrutably, and said to Yuzi, who was waiting beside him, with a smile, "Count the tea money into the accommodation expenses of those ghosts, and don't forget it when you pay." Xuan Ming looked at the little guy who was left behind by the two, "This little guy will live in the guest room in the east wing for a few days, Shen Hao, remember to register. My inn is not for nothing."
Under Xuan Ming's gaze, the little boy shrank his shoulders in fear. He was wearing a white shirt and suspenders. Judging from the material, he should have been born in a family with good conditions, even a wealthy family.
The little boy looked about seven or eight years old. Compared with children of the same age, he was a little thin, but he was not short, but he looked even thinner this way, standing there like a thin bamboo.
Ruosheng saw the scared look of the little boy with shrunken shoulders, couldn't help but overflow with sympathy, stepped forward a few steps, pulled the little boy to his side, and helped him block Xuan Min's scrutinizing gaze.
"It's just such a small thing, I wouldn't do anything to him." Xuan Ming raised the corners of his mouth a little funny, and looked at Ruosheng with a smile.
"The little girl just thinks that this child hits me, she likes it very much, and can't help but want to get close to him. I dare to ask, I don't know how Master Xuanming is going to deal with this matter?" Ruosheng bent over and looked at Xuan Ming asked with a smile.
"Xiao Hao, I heard from Xiao Mo that you have made great progress in the past two months." Xuan Ming just smiled, and did not directly answer Ruo Sheng's question, but turned his head to look at Shen Hao, "The previous few cases You have also followed them, this time you have to solve it by yourself. If you encounter trouble, you can ask Xiao Mo, I believe he is willing to teach you how to deal with it. "
"Ah?" Shen Hao didn't expect Xuan Min to throw a case to himself like this, he didn't react for a while, but still nodded with frowns.
Seeing that Xuan Min didn't intend to say anything more, Shen Hao stretched out his hand to hold the little boy's hand, and followed Ruo Sheng, a big tail, to the East Chamber.
"Hao, what are you going to do?" After walking a few steps, Ruosheng grabbed Shen Hao's sleeve, looked up at him, and asked with a smile.
Shen Hao withdrew his hand calmly, looked down at the little boy who was also looking up at him, "He can't stay in the inn all the time, he will enter reincarnation after all."
"And then? What I'm asking is what are you going to do." Ruosheng smiled, and took back his hand indifferently, but moved closer to Shen Hao when he was asking.
"The fact that he died young can't be changed, but we can help him find his body, and he can enter the city of death with his body completely, and he can live there until he can enter the pool of reincarnation." Shen Hao took a step back, somewhat helplessly Move to the other side of the little boy, let the little boy stand between him and Ruosheng, to prevent Ruosheng from getting close to him again.
Ruosheng took a step back in frustration, and also took the little boy's hand, "Little guy, can you tell me your name?"
"Ye Xiaoyu." The little boy whispered, lowering his head and staring at his toes.
"Little fish, what a cute name." Ruosheng reached out and patted the top of the little guy's head, "Your parents must hope that you can jump over the dragon gate and transform into a dragon."
"Yuyuelongmen?" Ye Xiaoyu's voice was still low. After a while, he looked up at Ruosheng, "Do they really want that? Don't they hate Xiaoyu?"
"Of course, they don't hate Xiaoyu at all." Ruosheng assured with a smile.
At that moment, both Shen Hao and Ruosheng saw Ye Xiaoyu's first smile after meeting, a big smile, a smile that makes people feel warm, a smile that people want to keep.
The author has something to say:
☆、The Slope of Fallen Flowers-No Clues
Shen Hao watched as Ruosheng took Ye Xiaoyu into the room to settle down, told Huang Yan that he needed to record the account book, then turned and walked to Mo You's study, thinking that he had been out for so long and hadn't greeted his master, I'm afraid it's not very appropriate.
"Tut, duk." Shen Hao stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, but no one answered, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Shen Hao, are you looking for Big Brother Mo You?" Huang Yan happened to pass by and patted Shen Hao on the shoulder, "I saw him go out just now, so come back later. Big Brother Mo You seems to be a workaholic who often goes out recently. really weird."
Shen Hao nodded, he was also a little strange, but it was inconvenient to ask directly.Now that Master is not at the inn, we can only report to him later.
However, until the next morning when Shen Hao went out, he couldn't wait for Mo You to come back, and asked Yuzi to confirm that the other party hadn't returned all night.
"Your master is so powerful, are you still worried that he will be in danger?" Ruosheng held Ye Xiaoyu's hand, approached Shen Hao and said with a smile.
"No, I just wanted to ask Master about something." Shen Hao shook his head and found an excuse to prevaricate, "Let's go, let's go to that apartment again, Xiaoyu, if you remember something, you must tell us."
"Yeah." Ye Xiaoyu nodded obediently, tightened Ruosheng's hand, shrank by her side, and followed the two out of the inn.
Seeing the backs of the three leaving, Yuzi tilted her head to Mo You who appeared at the door at some unknown time, "Do they look like a family of three?"
Mo You narrowed his eyes, looked down at Yuzu, "I don't mind destroying this puppet of yours."
"Hehe, Brother Moyou, after working with you for so many years, this is the first time I've seen you so unable to control your emotions." The pomelo puppet raised its head and curled the corners of its mouth stiffly.
"Shen Hao is a human being, how could he be with a ghost clan." Mo You frowned slightly, and slowly clenched his right hand.
"Brother Moyou, don't forget that Shen Hao is a human being." The pomelo puppet continued to talk, then turned and left.
Regardless of how Mo You flung his sleeves away, the three of Shen Hao walked through the maze alley, arrived at the apartment building again, walked into the dark corridor, and climbed up to the fourteenth floor.
After Ye Xiaoyu was taken away by Shen Hao yesterday, this floor did not look so gloomy.The sun shines through some dirty glass in the dark corridor, the only sound-activated light on the top that has not been broken suddenly lights up with the sound of Shen Hao's footsteps, but what the dim light brings is not what belongs to the sun. warmth.
"Xiaoyu, do you have any impression of this place?" Shen Hao reached out to touch Ye Xiaoyu's head, and asked softly in a gentle voice.
Ye Xiaoyu shook her head, looked around with blank eyes, "I was here when I woke up, I don't remember anything else."
Shen Hao was not discouraged, but led the two of them into the room where Ye Xiaoyu was found yesterday.
This room, like the whole apartment building, has a heavy sense of history, or it can be said that it is very dilapidated.There was a smell of dust in the air, and there was a thick pile of dust on the floor and the furniture that was almost negligible.
"No one has lived here for a long time." Shen Hao looked at the only footprint he had left on the ground, and couldn't help covering his mouth and nose with his hands to avoid being choked by the dust that was accidentally raised.
"Hao." Ruosheng stretched out his hand to wave at Shen Hao, and when the other party moved in front of her helplessly, he threw himself on Shen Hao's shoulder, leaned close to Shen Hao's ear and blew, and when the other party was about to push her Before pushing away, he said in Shen Hao's ear, "I've smelled it carefully, there is no bloody smell here, and the little fish didn't die here."
Shen Hao couldn't push Ruosheng away directly, so he could only take a few steps back helplessly, keeping a safe distance from her, took out his phone and called Bai Yanxiao, "Officer Bai, yes, it's me. I asked you about yesterday... ...No? There are no cases of missing or accidental deaths of children around here? Not only recently, but in the past few years....Okay, call me if you have any news....I want to ask, Golden Pavilion Apartment ...Uh, who lived in Room 3 on the fourteenth floor of Building 1404? Okay, waiting for your news."
"Hao, is there no news?" Ruosheng lowered his head and glanced at Ye Xiaoyu who had been staring at the two blankly.
"Well, there is no news yet." Shen Hao also looked down, "Let's look for any clues here first."
Shen Hao took out a "Guishui Talisman", crushed it at his fingertips, a jet of water burst out from his palm, the amount of water was much larger than before, at least not enough to extinguish even a small spark.Following Shen Hao's guidance, the water column wandered around the room, absorbing all the dust.In a short while, the room was completely new.
Shen Hao pointed to the cabinet in the corner of the room, "Ruosheng, look there, I'll look here to see if there is anything, if there is any imprint, remember to tell me."
Ruosheng nodded, lifted the hem of the skirt, and walked towards the cabinet with Ye Xiaoyu.
The room is very small, and the so-called furniture is nothing more than a double bed, a large cabinet, and a square table.It didn't take long for a few people to rummage through the room.
Ruosheng sat on the edge of the bed with the only trophy they had, and picked up Ye Xiaoyu and put it beside him.Shen Hao had no choice but to sit down on the other side of Ye Xiaoyu. From such a close distance, he could clearly smell the fragrance of Ruosheng's body.
Ruosheng stretched out his light white fingers, and patted the dusty photo album in his hand.The cover of the album features a kitten sleeping in a basket.Opening the hard cover of the album, a photo of a newborn baby was displayed in front of several people.
"On December 04, 12, Xiao Yu'er was born, wrinkled and not good-looking at all." Ruosheng softly read out the blurred handwriting next to the photo.
"On January 05, 1, Xiaoyu'er was full moon, and she didn't look as ugly as before. I just said, how could my child be ugly?" Ruosheng then turned a page, and you can see Xiaoyu'er The baby was sleeping on the bed wearing a red bellyband, which looked like the double bed where several people were sitting.
"December 05th, 12, today is Xiao Yuer's birthday. It's strange that I hugged a cat that suddenly came over when I was catching Zhou. What does this mean? Forget it, never mind, my son must be The best!" In the photo on the next page, the little guy is hugging a big white cat, looking at the camera in a daze.
Afterwards, there were many blank pages, and the transparent bag in which the photos were placed had signs of being used. It seemed that someone had taken those photos. "December 06, 12, today is Xiaoyuer's 10nd birthday. Xiaoyuer must be the reincarnation of a lucky star, and our life is getting better and better." In the photo, there are still several people staying in this room, but You can see that there are many electrical appliances in it.
"On June 07, 6, my family already had the money to buy a big house, but Xiao Yu'er seemed unwilling to leave here, crying so sadly, so I decided not to move for now. In fact, I was a little bit reluctant." In the photo , the little guy in a handsome navy suit was crying ugly.
"October 07, 10, the little guy seems to like reading books, and he will definitely become a handsome young man in the future!"
Shen Hao reached out his hand to stop Ruosheng who was about to continue looking down, took the photo album over, and directly turned to the last page.In the photo, a young boy in a school uniform is holding a big white cat, and there are only three pieces of furniture in front of him, with a sign saying, "Moved."
The young boy in the photo had a familiar face to all three of them, and he was Ye Xiaoyu.
"This is Xiaoyu's former home." Ruosheng looked up at Shen Hao, "He has a deep obsession with this place, no wonder he stays here." Saying that, Ruosheng couldn't help but hug Ye Xiaoyu shoulders.
"Xiaoyu, do you have any impression of this place?" Shen Hao lowered his head and asked Ye Xiaoyu who was curled up in Ruosheng's arms.
Ye Xiaoyu shook her head, and suddenly snatched the photo album from Shen Hao's hand, flipped forward a few pages, there was a family of three in that photo, "Dad... Mom..."
"Xiaoyu, do you remember them?" Ruosheng approached Ye Xiaoyu's small face and asked softly.
Ye Xiaoyu shook her head blankly, "I don't remember. I don't remember here..."
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you can't remember it, I will definitely help you. There are no other clues here, let's go back first, and hope that Officer Bai can make some progress." Shen Hao touched Ye Xiaoyu's head, Stand up and walk out the door.
Ruosheng pulled Ye Xiaoyu up and followed Shen Hao closely.It's just that neither Ruosheng nor Shen Hao noticed Ye Xiaoyu's last glance out the window.
In the bushes outside the window, Kong Qiu was lazily lying on the branch, her long tail flicked, her amber cat pupils narrowed slightly, but she was always paying attention to the actions of the three people in the room, "Brother Moyou is really serious." If you don't worry, just come and watch it yourself, and I want you to be the bodyguard, so I can't even sleep."
"Are they going back?" Kong Qiu saw the three people walking out the door, stood up and stretched a lot, flexed his bones, and jumped from the tree to the nearby roof with a light leap. Hiding his own figure, he waited for a few people to come out of the building, "It's quite early today, but unfortunately I didn't find any clues. Maybe I still need to come out in the end, because I said that Shen Hao can't handle this case." , the boss still doesn't believe it, hey."
The author has something to say: I hope you like the winter vacation benefits. If possible, can I receive your New Year greetings?
☆, Fallen Hills - New Clues
In the end, the few people did not find any useful clues except for the photo album, so they had to leave the apartment with the photo album.The three went downstairs along the stairs, Ruosheng was still holding Ye Xiaoyu's hand.
Shen Hao sideways to get out of the way of the oncoming young people. He didn't expect to spend so long just looking at the photo album. It's already evening, and it's the time for office workers to get off work.
The sky began to turn yellow, the clouds on the horizon changed color, and the cold wind caressed the trees with bare branches, bringing a bleak coolness.
There are no old people wandering around and children playing in the community, only Guiren hastily passed by the three of them, and in those gradually lit lights, maybe someone is waiting for them to go home.
Shen Hao walked against the flow of people, his eyes flicked across passers-by's faces flushed by the cold wind, street lamps with broken bulbs, ivy with withered leaves, and the darkness hidden in the corner of the wall.
"Xiaoyu, do you really have no impression of this place?" Shen Hao lowered his head and asked softly. It stands to reason that Ye Xiaoyu should have a deep memory and obsession with this place, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to linger after death and become an earthly place. Bound spirit.
Ye Xiaoyu just shook her head wordlessly, biting her already pale lips tightly with her small teeth.He held Ruosheng's little hand tightly, and at the same time leaned closer to Ruosheng.
"Hao, it's fine if he can't remember, you scared him." Ruosheng grasped Ye Xiaoyu's hand a little disapprovingly, and for the first time scolded Shen Hao a little more, and looked at him more. A touch of disapproval.
"It's impossible for him to stay in the world like this all the time. It would be better to find the corpse earlier and enter the city of vain death." Shen Hao said in a deep voice.But seeing Ye Xiaoyu shrank back and hid beside Ruosheng, he couldn't say anything more.
Since the clues were temporarily cut off and Ye Xiaoyu couldn't remember anything, Shen Hao and Ruosheng discussed going back to the inn first, and wait to see if there are any new clues from Bai Yanxiao's side. It would be even better if they could find Ye Xiaoyu's parents. alright.
On the way they were walking towards the labyrinth alley, Ruosheng suddenly felt that Ye Xiaoyu was gripping her hand tightly, and her footsteps also slowed down, so she lowered her head and looked at Ye Xiaoyu questioningly.
Shen Hao also stopped and followed Ye Xiaoyu's gaze to look forward, but he didn't see anything strange.He just saw a pregnant woman walking by with a bag of things, touching his swollen belly with the other hand from time to time, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Xiaoyu, what's the matter?" Ruosheng squatted down, slightly raised his head to look into Ye Xiaoyu's eyes, and asked strangely.
Ye Xiaoyu didn't answer, but turned to look at the pregnant woman, and kept watching until she disappeared at the next turn, then turned to look at Ruosheng who was squatting in front of her, bit her lip and shook her head.
"Ruosheng, is there any problem with that pregnant woman?" Shen Hao bent slightly, looked down at Ruosheng, and asked with a slight frown.Strange in his heart, he didn't feel that there was something wrong with the pregnant woman at all. No matter how he looked at it, she was just an ordinary human being, one of the mortal beings.
Ruosheng stood up, rubbed his knees that were a little numb from squatting, took a step forward, and moved closer to Shen Hao's ear, "Shh, Xiaoyu's mood swings just now are not resentment, but envy."
Shen Hao moved his body back, but he didn't directly push Ruosheng away, because he felt that Ruosheng spoke close to him not because he wanted to do something, but because he didn't want Ye Xiaoyu to hear him. "It is possible that Xiaoyu has a younger brother or younger sister, and his parents care about his younger siblings and ignore him."
"Isn't it normal to have many younger brothers and sisters? There's nothing to be envious of. Brothers and sisters are supposed to take care of younger brothers and sisters." Ruosheng pointed his chin with his index finger, blinked his eyes strangely, and said a little puzzled.
"..." Shen Hao suddenly remembered that Ruosheng had lived for at least 500 years. At that time, which family had many children, unlike the one or two now, he really didn't know how to explain this feeling to Ruosheng.
"Sister, I'm cold..." Just as Shen Hao was about to explain to Ruosheng, he suddenly heard Ye Xiaoyu say in a trembling voice.
The two hurriedly looked at Ye Xiaoyu, only to see that his body was dripping with water, his clothes were already soaked, and those drops of water fell on the ground, wet the ground under his feet.
Ye Xiaoyu's lips turned purple, he shrunk his shoulders, hugged himself tightly with his hands, and seemed to feel very cold.
"This is..." Shen Hao didn't know what was going on, how did Ye Xiaoyu become like this all of a sudden, he froze on the spot for a moment, at a loss.
"This is the mark of death, take him back to the inn!" Ruosheng hurriedly said, pulled Ye Xiaoyu up and ran towards the maze alley.
"Let me do it." Shen Hao didn't care about Ye Xiaoyu's cold and wet body, picked him up and took Ruosheng into the alley.
The moment he picked up Ye Xiaoyu, Shen Hao couldn't help shivering, he didn't expect Ye Xiaoyu to be so cold, it felt like he was hugging a big block of ice.
After entering the labyrinth alley, Shen Hao obviously felt that Ye Xiaoyu didn't continue to tremble, although the cold feeling from the contact place didn't change.Shen Hao calmed down a lot, but to avoid further accidents, he still couldn't help speeding up his pace.
"What's the matter with you?" Yuzi standing at the door looked at the few people who were running in a panic and hurriedly let them into the inn.
Stepping into the enchantment of the inn, Ye Xiaoyu stopped dripping water, and his body gradually warmed up, and soon it was no longer cold.
Seeing Ye Xiaoyu's condition stabilized, Shen Hao thought about the situation just now, "Ruosheng, you said this is the mark of death? What is that?"
Ruosheng asked Yuzi to take Ye Xiaoyu back to the room to rest before explaining, "Although Xiaoyu has no memory of death, his body remembers what he looked like when he died. This is the imprint of death."
"It's just Xiaoyu's appearance when he died? But wasn't it normal before?" Shen Hao asked strangely.
"Once the soul that stays in the world leaves a specific place, it will show a death mark." Ruosheng shrugged.
"A specific place?" Shen Hao frowned and asked with some doubts.
"Ye Xiaoyu is an earth-bound spirit. When he was in that apartment, it was equivalent to staying in the past time, so he was the same as before, no matter how long it took. But once he left that apartment, he It will gradually show the mark of death. I was negligent today." Ruosheng said with a sigh, looking helplessly in the direction Ye Xiaoyu left.If she could remember this, she would keep nourishing Ye Xiaoyu's soul with ghost energy, so she wouldn't let him suffer like this.
"If the mark of death appears, it is equivalent to the soul repeating the moment of death, which will do great harm to the soul. It is easy to be unable to bear the torture and become a ghost or lose one's soul." Ruosheng explained seriously.
"I'm Yanmei, not an ordinary ghost, so I don't have any marks of death, so you don't have to be afraid." Ruosheng teased Shen Hao with a smile, saying that she would not suddenly become a scary person, " In fact, ghosts generally, will not show the mark of death, and most of them will remain as they were before they were alive. Only these souls who stay in the world need to worry about the mark of death."
"Xiaoyu is fine in the inn because of the enchantment in the inn. The breath here can make him temporarily become a ghost and keep his appearance when he was alive." Ruosheng finished his explanation proudly.
Shen Hao nodded, stroked his chin and said, "This way we have a new clue."
"Well, Xiaoyu probably drowned. Even if not, it must have something to do with the water." Ruosheng also nodded. "Think about the rest slowly, I'll go and see how Xiaoyu is doing."
"Well, you go." Shen Hao pursed his lips, watched Ruosheng leave, then turned and walked to Mo You's study, muttering, "The scope of the search is a little smaller, and I don't know where Police Officer Bai is. Have you found anything?"
"Are you back? Come in." Before Shen Hao reached the door, Mo You saw Shen Hao through the open window and said directly.
"Master." Shen Hao pushed the door open, stood respectfully by the desk, picked up the ink sticks on the table and began to help Mo You study the ink.
"How's the case?" Mo You dipped his hand into the ink, glanced at Shen Hao, and asked.
"There hasn't been much progress yet, but Xiaoyu has shown a death mark today, so he has a new clue." Shen Hao replied obediently, and the movements in his hands did not stop.
"Yeah." Mo You just nodded, "Is there anything you don't understand?"
"Not yet, I believe there will be new progress soon." Shen Hao said with downcast eyes, the thick ink seeped out little by little during the constant friction between the ink stick and the inkstone, covering the inkstone.
Mo You stretched out his hand to stop Shen Hao's movement, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you do anything during the two days' practice?"
"I did what I did yesterday, but I haven't had time to do what I did today." Shen Hao lowered his head and said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, just remember." Mo You didn't mean to blame, and pointed to Shen Hao's usual position, "Sit down, let's learn the superposition of five-element talismans today."
"Yes, Master." Shen Hao took out the needed talisman-making tools from the cabinet and prepared them.
"The five elements, mutual generation and mutual restraint. Metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal..."
When carrying the grapefruit on the tray, he heard Mo You's deep voice, interspersed with Shen Hao's occasional questions.Youzi couldn't help but smile with the corners of her mouth pulled up, pushed the door and entered the main hall where Xuan Ming was staying, and heard that there would be guests coming soon.
The author has something to say:
☆、The Slope of Fallen Flowers-Old Testimony
After a whole night of hard work, Shen Hao finally completed his practice, holding a stack of talisman papers in his hand, while continuing to think about the problem of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, he walked to the study in the east chamber.
Shen Hao pushed the door open and was taken aback by the two people who were drinking tea in the room, "Officer Bai, Qingsong, why are you here?"
"I couldn't get in touch with you, so I had to ask Qingsong to bring me here." Bai Yanxiao put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Shen Hao and said.
Shen Hao remembered that there was no mobile phone signal in the inn, so he sat down on the chair opposite Bai Yanxiao in embarrassment, "What news did Police Officer Bai find out?"
"I have found information about the owner of the room you asked me to check. But there is only a record of their account moving out, and the address they settled in after that is not their residence. I have contacted the police station over there, but there is no sign of them for the time being." news." Bai Yanxiao shook his head helplessly, expressing that he was also a little helpless.
"Anyway, I still hope you can help me contact Xiaoyu's parents, please." Shen Hao couldn't help but say seriously when he thought of Ye Xiaoyu's envious expression when he looked at the pregnant woman.
"No problem, I will try my best." Bai Yanxiao nodded, "By the way, all the information about the child named Ye Xiaoyu you mentioned is here. This is the filing record at that time." Then, Bai Yanxiao put a small stack of documents on the table in front of Shen Hao.
"Only these?" Shen Hao reached out to pick up the stack of documents, flipped through them and said.
"It's just a seven-year-old child, how much material do you expect to have?" Bai Yanxiao said with some amusement, "Well, Yingcai Primary School is the school Ye Xiaoyu originally attended."
"Did he disappear after school?" Shen Hao quickly turned to the report of Ye Xiaoyu's disappearance, "Did the police find anything at that time?"
"At that time, a big case happened in the province, and almost all the police stations were chasing fugitives, so this case didn't get enough attention." Bai Yanxiao came over to look at the report, "That year I just transferred to The local police station, I took over the case."
"You gave up on this case?" Shen Hao raised his head and looked at Bai Yanxiao strangely. Based on what he knew these days, how could such a serious and serious person like Bai Yanxiao give up a missing case so easily, but if he didn't give up, why didn't he find it in the end? Ye Xiaoyu's body.
"It was the child's parents who gave up. At that time, the child's mother was about to give birth, because of this incident, the miscarriage was almost aborted, and the family moved away soon afterward. Therefore, the case was dropped." Bai Yanxiao He closed his eyes and said helplessly.
"This is Teacher Xiaoyu's confession, is it convenient for us to visit her?" Shen Hao took out a piece of paper, clicked on the name on it and said, "Since Xiaoyu disappeared on the way home from school, let's not judge When was he killed, I want to take him to walk the original path, maybe he will remember something."
"No problem. I checked before I came. That teacher Chen is still teaching in Yingcai Primary School. It's nine o'clock, so he should be in class." Bai Yanxiao looked at his watch and nodded.
"I won't go with you guys. I still have a case in hand. I have an appointment to see the client at eleven o'clock." Qingsong picked up his things, nodded at several people, and left first.
"Yuzi, can you help me bring Xiaoyu here?" Shen Hao said to the puppet cleaning the veranda outside the window.
The puppet nodded and continued with the work at hand.
"This is?" Seeing such a communication method, Bai Yanxiao couldn't help asking curiously.
"This is Yuzu's puppet. It can help to send a message to Yuzi. Xiaoyu will come over later. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Officer Bai to accompany me today." Shen Hao explained with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. This is my unfinished case. If I can really find that child's body, it will be my wish." Bai Yanxiao shook his head and said with some emotion.
Sure enough, after a while, Ruosheng walked in holding Ye Xiaoyu's hand, "Hao, are you taking Xiaoyu out?"
"Well, I found some news about his life, I want to take him to have a look, maybe he can think about something." Shen Hao glanced at Ye Xiaoyu who lowered his head, and said softly.
"It's good if you can remember it." Ruosheng felt Ye Xiaoyu's grip on her hand tightly, and touched the back of Ye Xiaoyu's hand with the other comfortingly, "I'll go with you too, You don't want to see the little fish tortured by the death mark either."
"Well, Police Officer Bai, let's go." Shen Hao didn't refuse, packed up Ye Xiaoyu's materials, and greeted Bai Yanxiao.
Shen Hao found that Bai Yanxiao had been secretly looking at Ruosheng beside him, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said, "Why, Officer Bai can't move his eyes when he sees a beautiful woman?"
"Ah?" Bai Yanxiao was stunned for a moment, then shook her hand and said, "No, I just feel like I've seen this before..."
"What?" Shen Hao couldn't hear what Bai Yanxiao said at the end, so he couldn't help asking.
"It's nothing, if she goes out like this, people who see her will find it strange?" Bai Yanxiao said, looking at Ruosheng's red dress again.
"No, neither of them is human, and humans cannot see them." Shen Hao said nonchalantly, and reached out to rub Ye Xiaoyu's curled hair.
"I... Huh? Where is the person?" Bai Yanxiao, who stepped out of the inn gate, just wanted to ask why he could see it, when he found that Shen Hao had disappeared beside him.
"As I said, human beings can't see them, they are standing next to me." Shen Hao glanced at Ruosheng who was smiling with his mouth covered, and said helplessly.
Looking at the empty place, Bai Yanxiao couldn't help shivering, "Let's go quickly."
Shen Hao led a few people through the labyrinth alley, and soon stood at the gate of Yingcai Primary School, "This is it."
"En." Bai Yanxiao nodded, tried not to look at Shen Hao's side, walked forward and showed her passport to the security guard in the guard room, and stated her intention of coming.
"Shen Hao, let's go." Bai Yanxiao turned around to greet Shen Hao, thanked the security guard, and walked towards the teaching building.
"Mr. Chen just doesn't have class this session, let's go to the office to find her." Bai Yanxiao explained.
Shen Hao nodded, followed Bai Yanxiao's footsteps, and of course he didn't forget to watch Ye Xiaoyu's reaction carefully.I saw him looking around all the time, but he was more curious about this place, and he didn't seem to be very impressed.
"Tut, duk." Bai Yanxiao reached out and knocked on the door, "Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Bai Yanxiao from the police station, do you still remember?"
Shen Hao couldn't help but look at Teacher Chen in front of him. She looked about 50 years old, she was a kind-hearted woman with a little fat, but one could imagine that she must have been a beautiful woman when she was young.
"It turned out to be Xiaobai. I remember you. I heard that you came to see me. What's the matter?" Teacher Chen stood up and led the two of them to sit on the chair beside him.
