I open a bookstore in the human world

Xie Daonian's face sank like water, and his tone was calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.He said that in fact, within ten seconds before the accident, he already had a premonition that something was wrong, but there were too many cars on the road at that time, and it was impossible to get out, so the subsequent accident happened.

Song Lan was shocked: "So, the van that hit you wasn't an accident at all?"

Xie Daonian's car was hit by a van rushing out of the intersection when passing through a fork. The driver died on the spot. The situation was much worse than that of Xie Daonian.

To kill a stranger at the cost of his own life, the other party is crazy, right?

Xie Daonian looked serious, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, when I found the van, I planned to speed up and dodge it, but suddenly a person jumped in front of my car, so I had to put on the brakes. .” With such a delay, Xie Daonian’s car was hit.

If it was a coincidence, it would be too coincidental.At this time, there was a pedestrian who jaywalked, and at this time, a car hit him.

"Do you remember what that person was like?" Song Lan asked hastily, but in fact she didn't hold much hope in her heart.

Sure enough, Xie Daonian shook his head and said, "The other party is wearing a hat and has a mask on his face. I only know that he is a man."

So what if you know what you look like?The moment the car accident happened, the other party had already run away. Even if the monitoring was called up, it was impossible to find a person like a needle in a haystack.

Song Lan looked awe-inspiring: This series of clues are strung together. The car accident was not an accident at all, but someone did it on purpose!The van driver must have been bribed, and the passer-by who suddenly appeared must be with him, and the purpose was to drive Xie Daonian to a dead end.

But who is so vicious and insists on putting Xie Daonian to death?Song Lan was puzzled and asked him, "Do you have any enemies in the devil?"

Xie Daonian frowned for a moment, then slowly said: "There must be competitors in the mall, but I don't think they will buy | murder | kill | people just for this kind of thing."

It only took two or three years for Yingying Foods to join the catering industry, and it has achieved such an achievement. It goes without saying that people are jealous, but Xie Daonian has always been a low-key person, and his management methods are also quite satisfactory. To the point of immortality.

"That's weird..." Song Lan frowned tightly, an unknown fire ignited in her heart, and secretly vowed to investigate this matter clearly.

——He wants to see who is so fat and dares to touch his man, and he will definitely make him understand what life is better than death!

Song Lan is a man of action. On the same day, he went to the traffic team to ask for the monitoring of the car accident, and when no one was paying attention, he dug out the van driver's information and found the other person's home.

Unexpectedly, the driver's family has already gone to the vacant building. I asked the neighbors next door and found out that the driver's wife has been bedridden for many years, and his son is also a polio patient. , I want to go back to my hometown to live. The whole family has moved out more than a week ago.Ask him where his hometown is, but no one knows.

The clue was broken here, making Song Lan even more angry.

Obviously, the driver must have been bribed by someone, so he sacrificed his life to harm Xie Daonian.

Poor people must be hateful, and vice versa.

On the contrary, Xie Daonian comforted Song Lan: "Now the person is dead, and there is no proof of death, so forget it if you can't find out."

As for the communication with the police, the communication was not smooth. Song Lan complained that she wanted to investigate the car accident and suspected that it was caused by human beings.After some investigation, the police came to the conclusion that the car accident was a complete accident and rejected Song Lan's request.

It seemed that everyone was obstructing him from investigating the truth, which made Song Lan more determined: someone must be behind the scenes, and the other party was the one who wanted to kill Xie Daonian.

"How can it be forgotten!" Song Lan suddenly exploded like a firecracker on fire, with an indignant expression on his face, stomping his feet and yelling, "Do you know that you almost died! The other party struck once If you don’t succeed, you may be stumbling me. If I don’t catch the murderer behind the scenes, I won’t be safe for a day.” He didn’t want to go through the bone-crushing pain at that time again, even if it turned out to be a false alarm afterwards. no.

In the past few days, Song Lan has devoted himself to investigating this matter, and the air pressure in his body is low, just like an explosive|explosive barrel, and it will explode at one click. Except for Xie Daonian, no one else dares to approach him at all.

Xie Daoyou sighed, bowed slightly from behind and hugged the indignant Song Lan, buried his head in his neck, and said in a voice close to his ears: "I understand, I understand. Song Song, don't worry, Things will work out."

Xie Daonian's voice seemed to have magic power, which gradually calmed Song Lan's restless heart, and said sullenly: "But now there are no clues." The powerful Shengdou Xiaomin, if there is no police to help investigate, he has to rely on his own strength to track down little by little. Before he finds clues, the other party may have erased all traces long ago.

He even asked Chi Zhou to secretly hack into the public security system to find out the van driver's hometown and bank card account number. payment.

It was only at this time that Song Lan realized that even though he was a ghost messenger and his strength was much stronger than that of ordinary people, he was not omnipotent, and there were times when he was helpless.

This feeling of helplessness made Song Lan very frustrated, and even had some doubts about himself: so what if he worked so hard?A pair of overturning hands that could not escape fate in the end, it was like this when I was still a human, and it is still like this now.

This was the first time that Song Lan was defeated by a deep sense of frustration.

Sensing the depression of the person in his arms, Xie Daonian's arms held him tighter, as if he wanted to transfer all the strength of his whole body to him, telling him that everything has its own, and teaching him not to be sad.

Song Lan's back was pressed against Xie Daonian's chest, and he could feel the pounding and powerful heartbeat in the other's chest. The arms holding him tightly were so firm and powerful, which gave him an unprecedented sense of security.

Being a man and a ghost, Song Lan has always been alone, never trusting others, only trusting himself, because he knows that the only one he can rely on in this world is himself.He doesn't really believe in any company, which is probably the shadow left by his childhood: his parents died one after another when he was very young, and his relatives didn't like him very much. Before he was an adult, he was treated like a ball From one family to another, living under the fence, I never experienced much warmth from others.Because of this, he later chose to study abroad and choose a business major. He felt that only money was the only reliable thing that could give him protection.

And now, he finally has someone around him who can make people feel at ease at any time and always touches the softest heart inadvertently. This is an unprecedented fresh experience, and it is also a kind that makes him want to cry. a feeling of.

I really wish that time would stop at this moment, that he and Xie Daonian could last forever without being separated.Song Lan thought foolishly.

Xie Daonian didn't know that the mood of the person in his arms had changed hundreds of thousands of times in an instant, his eyes were half closed, one hand was gently stroking Song Lan's back, and the other hand was clenched into a fist, the temperature of the palm was burning, As if reminding him of something.

Some things should be figured out.

***

When people are in adversity, they always like to use "the willows are dark and the flowers brighten another village" to comfort themselves. There must be hope before self-disposal.

The fact is often the same, things have reached the worst time, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it go?Once the bottom is hit, it means the beginning of a rebound.

Some people call this "transfer".

A few days later, Song Lan, who had given up hope, received news that he had found the passerby who was suspected to be blocking Xie Daonian's car that day.

Song Lan hurriedly dragged Xie Daonian to the Shadow Bookstore. Meng Sangyu had already pulled out the store's surveillance video, paused on a certain screen, pointed to a person with only half of his face exposed, and asked Xie Daonian: "Brother Xie, Look, is this the person from that day?"

After the car accident, Song Lan asked for surveillance video from the traffic police team, intercepted all the pictures of that passer-by, and put them in the group of shop assistants, so that all ghosts would remember this person's figure, in the hope that one day Come across this one, don't miss it.

Because the passer-by was wearing a hat and a mask that day, and was surrounded tightly, with only one pair of eyes exposed, and because the surveillance distance was too far to see clearly, even Song Lan didn't have much hope for this.Unexpectedly, Meng Sangyu actually found out.

It can only be said that Meng Sangyu really deserves to be a ghost who has lived for more than 600 years, and his eyes are full of power.

Xie Daonian stared at the surveillance video for a while, and finally said: "It does look a bit like it, but if I don't see the real person, I can't be sure."

"Where is that man now?" Song Lan asked Meng Sangyu eagerly.

Meng Sangyu knew that the matter was serious, so he had already prepared, saying: "I have already left a mark on him. As long as he is still in the capital, he will definitely not be able to escape."

Song Lan immediately jumped up when she heard the words, and slapped Meng Sangyu on the shoulder: "What are you talking about? Lead the way!"

The next thing went smoothly. Meng Sangyu led Xie and Song to find the man. After Xie Daonian confirmed the identity of the other party, the man pretended to be stupid at first, saying that he did not know Xie Daonian.As a result, under Song Lan's unexplainable means, the other party finally admitted that he was indeed bribed, and that he crossed the road at a certain moment that day just to block Xie Daonian's car so that the van could complete its mission.

"Who is the one who bought you? Tell me!" Song Lan's face was frosty, her fingers pinched around the man's neck gradually tightened, and she raised her voice and asked angrily.

The man was pinched by him and couldn't breathe, his limbs off the ground were dancing wildly in the air, his face was blue, his pupils turned up, and he looked like he was going to die in a second.

Seeing that something was wrong, Meng Sangyu immediately stepped forward to persuade Song Lan: "Brother Song, Brother Song, why are you pinching someone else to make him talk?"

Xie Daonian also said: "Song Song, let go of your hand and listen to him."

Only then did Song Lan realize his gaffe, and he thought it was dangerous, if he really killed someone in the human world, he might have to go to the court of the underworld after returning to the underworld.He snorted coldly, let go of his hand, threw the man on the ground like throwing garbage, and squeezed out a sinister sentence from his throat: "Tell the truth, or you will bear the consequences."

The man gasped in pain. Seeing Song Lan's horrifying expression, he thought that he had vaguely seen a ghost face with green face and fangs just now. The hairs all over his body stood on end. He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Song Lan. With a crying voice: "The other party has been contacting me by phone, I really don't know who he is!"

"What's the phone number?" Song Lan frowned.

"I don't know either. Every time he brought it from a public phone." The man's voice trembled, he was afraid that Song Lan would be dissatisfied with his answer, and he really had to see Lord Yan.

"What about the money? If he asks you to do something, he must give you a reward, right? Did he charge your bank card?" Song Lan's expression could no longer be simply described as "ugly".

"It's in cash, I don't use a bank card." The man explained tremblingly, not daring to look up at Song Lan, "The money was placed at the designated place for me to pick it up, half of it will be paid first, and the rest will be paid after the matter is finished." half."

Song Lan didn't expect the other party to be so careful. Now, even the last clue will be broken.

However, is this man telling the truth?

Song Lan has investigated, this person is a local hooligan, who specializes in doing illegal things that take people's money, or else he would not have accepted the deal to murder Xie Daonian.Would such a person really tell him everything honestly?

Song Lan was thinking about the credibility of the other party's words, Meng Sangyu said first: "Brother Song, this kid must have something to hide."

After all, Meng Sangyu is an old Jianghu, and he can see through a man's flamboyant intestines at a glance.

Song Lan narrowed her eyes, looked at the man gloomyly, and sternly said, "It seems that you are not really afraid..." As she spoke, she raised her leg and was about to kick the man fiercely.

——Although the regulations of the underworld cannot kill people in the human world, as long as the other party is still alive, it is not considered a violation of the regulations.

The man's reaction was quick. Seeing that the situation was not good, he hugged Song Lan's leg and wailed stammeringly: "Big brother, I remembered, and there is still a clue!"

Song Lan twitched her eyebrows, and said a word coldly: "Say."

The man didn't dare to hesitate, and said quickly: "Although I don't know who the other party is, only a few people know my contact information. If you start from this aspect, you may find out something." Tell Song Lan all the contact information.

"If you find out that you are lying, we will come back. Don't try to escape, you can't." After getting the answer she wanted, Song Lan shook off the man who was still hanging on her calf, sneered and left such a In a word, he left with Meng Sangyu and Xie Daonian.

The alley was quiet again, as if nothing had happened. If it wasn't for the burning wound, the man would have mistakenly thought that what happened just now was just a dream.

A gust of gloomy wind blew by, and the man was shocked immediately, he didn't dare to stay here any longer, and ran away limping with his legs dragging.
