Twelve o'clock in the middle of the night is the time when the yin and yang qi meet. This time can open the passage between the yin and yang two worlds, and it will not cause the ghosts that are attracted to go berserk because of the heavy yin qi.

But this time they were not summoning souls, but begging ghost messengers, asking if they could let them meet Zhao Lihui's soul.The underworld ghost messengers actually have different personalities, some are easy to talk to, and some are not, it all depends on luck.

Xu Ruohua squatted halfway and placed a wooden branch on the head of the coffin, and asked, "My lord, we are inviting a ghost messenger today, do you need to dodge it?" It's not like you don't even care about ghosts, right?

Lu Siqing sat on his golden nanmu hollow and carved back chair, without even moving her eyelids, she replied: "No need."

"..." Xu Ruohua seemed unwilling, "Are you sure? If you are unfortunately taken away, Lu Xiaomei will cry—right, classmate Lu?"

When Lu Ke heard Xu Ruohua talk to him suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "I believe my lord, if your lord said no, it is definitely not necessary."

Xu Ruohua: "..."

He glanced at Lu Siqing suspiciously, and silently increased Lu Siqing's threat to him by 0.03 percentage points, oh, by the way, the previous percentage was 99.9%.

According to Xu Ruohua's instructions, Lu Ke put a bronze mirror full of historical sense in the center of the formation. The formation is very simple. It consists of six wooden branches, each one centimeter long, and can be arranged in an equihexagonal shape.

In front of the formation is a copper censer the size of a palm, with a lotus flower as the bottom and 49 petals in total, which looks small and delicate.

Xu Ruohua inserted the last wooden branch into the center of the copper incense burner, pointed to that wooden branch and asked Lu Ke: "Then now comes the boss's question, guess what it is?"

Lu Ke shook his head honestly: "I don't know." Isn't it just an ordinary tree branch?

"This is the locust tree." Xu Ruohua explained, "The locust tree is also known as the ghost tree, which is the most able to gather yin energy, and the peach tree is just the opposite of it. As the saying goes, one yin tree and one yang tree are talking about pagoda trees and peach trees. Tree."

After he finished speaking, he habitually raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was three minutes before twelve o'clock.He paced to the door, locked it with a click, and turned off the lights as well.

Lu Ke obviously did not expect this change, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.He could neither see Lu Siqing nor Xu Ruohua, inexplicable fear welled up in his heart at this moment, and a chill ran down his spine.

He was already sitting close to the corner of the wall, and after taking half a step back, he directly leaned against the wall. The abrupt wall made Lu Ke couldn't help but let out a soft "ah".

"Why, still not used to it?" Xu Ruohua walked to Lu Ke's side at some point, he chuckled lightly, clasped Lu Ke's five fingers, and comforted him, "Don't be afraid."

Lu Ke blushed, and whispered, "Yes." Xu Ruohua's palm was still so cold, but it didn't make people feel cold, and it even had a calming effect.

Lu Ke actually didn't like to get close to people, but in this extremely frightening situation, with Xu Ruohua by his side, he could always feel at ease, so he didn't let go and let him hold her.

Lu Siqing, who was leaning on the back chair and dozed off, heard the movement, half-opened his eyes and glanced sideways at the two people in the corner. His eyes stopped for half a second on the two people's clasped hands, and then slowly closed his eyes. There was nothing on his face. expression.

For Lu Ke, 3 minutes passed very slowly, but for Xu Ruohua, it was just a blink of an eye.He reluctantly let go of Lu Ke, and said softly: "The time is up, I'll activate the formation....I hope the poor man who came this time can show some face."

With no support in his hands, Lu Ke instantly felt that he was overwhelmed by fear again, even the slightest movement of the wind could make his hair stand on end.

Xu Ruohua squatted in front of the coffin, lighting a dark fire talisman in his hand, and the faint blue light of the fire added a bit of gloom to the room.

At the same time, the light of Yinhuo also illuminated the outline of Zhao Lihui's coffin.

At this time, Lu Ke suddenly remembered what others told him about Zhao Lihui's death - his head was completely broken, the gray-white brain and blood flowed out, and there was not a single complete bone in his body.

Lu Ke's heart skipped a beat, his body tensed up, he was so nervous that he was about to freeze his breath, but his eyes were fixed on the coffin board and he refused to move even a bit, he thought, what was inside could really be regarded as a "person?

Isn't it a bunch of meat?

Lu Ke was taken aback by the thoughts in his head, swallowed reflexively, his stomach churned, he felt that he should do his best to contain his thoughts.

But the brain is both a precision instrument and a tormenting goblin. The more you don’t want to think about it, the more excited it is to show you various pictures in it, and you can’t refuse it at all.

Countless disgusting images flashed in his mind, Lu Ke felt that he was going crazy, and he was afraid and disgusted.

The temperature seemed to drop suddenly in an instant, Lu Ke shivered, and managed to escape from the imaginary just now.He held his breath and pressed his back against the wall, wishing he could tuck himself into a crack in the wall.

Immediately afterwards, the yin fire in Xu Ruohua's hand went out instantly, and a dim blue shadow came through the wall!

After the shadow passed through, it landed slowly, and finally revealed a human form. It was a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit.His body shape doesn't look much different from that of ordinary people, his belly is a bit fat, his whole body glows with a dim grayish white light, his skin is pale, and the exposed parts can clearly see signs of dryness and cracking.

His movements were extremely unnatural, and he looked around the room with his eyeballs. He obviously didn't open his mouth, but he could hear a gloomy and deep voice, and he asked faintly, "Mortal, what are you calling me for?"

Lu Ke was really surprised, but saw Xu Ruohua took out a few pieces of paper from his bag and handed them over, and said very politely: "Please sir, can you let me chat with Zhao Lihui's ghost alone."

Maybe it's a ghost coin?

The ghost messenger glanced at the Ming coin in Xu Ruohua's hand, silently took it in his hand, and quietly said: "At most a quarter of an hour."

"Thank you, Master, for your accommodation."

The ghost messenger took out a cloth bag from his waist, shook it twice, and saw a small bright white light ball falling out of it, the small light ball circled in the air, and fell to the ground and turned into a wisp of ghost.

Lu Ke knew that ghost, it was Zhao Lihui!

At this time, Zhao Lihui was full of souls, except for the ghost's pale complexion as usual, there was not much difference from the living Zhao Lihui.

Zhao Lihui is different from Zhang Ping and Zhang Qing. He is a top student among the 'leaders'. His temperament is very similar to that of his mother, and his manners are very dignified.

He knew that he was dead, and when he saw Xu Ruohua who shouldn't be here, he immediately asked suspiciously: "Who are you? Have I seen you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, I'm just here to ask you something, please cooperate well." Xu Ruohua said calmly, "How much do you remember of the sins you committed during your lifetime?"

When he saw Zhao Lihui, Xu Ruohua knew that this Zhao Lihui was not easy to deal with. Some ghosts could make him succumb with some brute force, but people like Zhao Lihui were too guarded.He deeply felt that today's success rate was pitifully low.

Sure enough, Zhao Lihui frowned, his face sank for a moment, and he said coldly: "This is my private matter, you have no right to interfere.

Xu Ruohua didn't have much time, so he decided not to go around in circles with him, and asked directly: "Then let me tell you the truth, half a year ago at night, you bullied a girl in the alley, do you remember?"

"..." Zhao Lihui's raised eyebrows deepened a little, and he still said coldly, "I don't remember."

Zhao Lihui replied "don't remember", not "don't know", or immediately denied the matter.

Xu Ruohua first confirmed Zhang Ping's mother's testimony, and secondly, Zhao Lihui was lying.After a person dies, the judge in charge of this area will show him the sins in front of him like a flashlight, and Zhao Lihui is no exception. How could he not remember, obviously he has a ghost in his heart.

Xu Ruohua laughed lowly, and said: "Maybe you bullied too many people, and it's normal not to remember. If so, let me put it another way. ——The night half a year ago, you raped a girl in the alley, and you remember?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Ruohua finished speaking, Zhao Lihui suddenly raised the decibel and shouted: "What do you know!" Qihuihunye, let me come back to see my parents, don't waste my time."

Xu Ruohua was also surprised by Zhao Lihui's reaction.But he didn't care whether Zhao Lihui's time to visit relatives was delayed, since the poor man said fifteen minutes, then he must spend fifteen minutes.

He raised his eyebrows and continued: "Why, isn't it rape? I wronged you?"

"you!"

Xu Ruohua said a few words, but Zhao Lihui's eyes gradually filled with hatred, and he looked like he was about to go crazy.Seeing this, the fat ghost officer in the tunic suit immediately slapped Zhao Lihui's back with a ruler, and cursed: "Be honest!"

Zhao Lihui felt a pain in his back, as if being burned by a raging fire, his hatred dissipated, he bit his lip and stopped talking, and he was also speechless.

The ghost messenger said: "Boy, let's stop here. You almost let this soul turn into a ghost in my hands just now, I dare not let you ask."

Xu Ruohua also knew that Zhao Lihui had signs of a change just now, so he didn't dare to offend the ghost messenger, "I'm sorry for the trouble, thank you." After finishing speaking, he handed over a few general coins from his bag.

The ghost messenger took the coin from Xu Ruohua, showed a row of white teeth, and said gloomily, "It's a pleasant cooperation."

Zhao Lihui's soul was put back into the bag by the ghost messenger, and then disappeared in a wisp of green smoke.From the beginning to the end, he never noticed that there was another ghost in the room.

After the ghost messenger left, Xu Ruohua turned on the light in the room, only to see him look sleepy, sighed a long time, and said dejectedly: "Failure!"

Lu Ke also let out a long sigh of relief, and it was finally over.He yawned and asked, "Brother Xu, can we get off work? I still have class tomorrow."

Xu Ruohua gave him a fake look: "You lied to my brother that I didn't go to school? Tomorrow is obviously the weekend!"

Lu Ke: "..." Although it's a good weekend, but if I stay up all night like this, do I still need to study?When I was in class during the day, I kept dozing off, and even slept through the whole English class!It's a shame.

Xu Ruohua suddenly smiled slyly, looked at Lu Ke, rolled his peachy eyes, raised his voice slightly, and asked him, "Want to rest?"

Lu Ke nodded.

Xu Ruohua silently climbed onto Lu Ke's shoulder, leaned into his ear, and said in a low voice, "Then analyze some clues for the boss. If there is a breakthrough in the case, the boss will let you sleep, okay?"

At this moment, Lu Siqing opened her eyes and looked at the two of them again.

But this time he stared at it for a full second before closing his eyes again. When closing his eyes, his eyelids even exerted a little force, as if the corners of his eyes were twitched.
