A warning cordon has been set up outside the house where the crime occurred in the western suburbs, and police officers are on duty to protect the scene.

Shen Nanyi and Jiang Yingyu often hang out together, so they are basically familiar with the police officers of the criminal investigation team.

"Lawyer Shen, why are you here again this late at night? Who is this?"

The police officer who spoke was Xiao Guo from Wang Hao's team. He looked at Mu Qizhou warily.

"This is Mr. Mu from the Mu Group. This land in the western suburbs is their project. Come and take a look."

Xiao Guo nodded and looked at Mu Qizhou with some sympathy, "This case is not optimistic."

There was only so much he could say.

Mu Qizhou nodded slightly and expressed his understanding: "Thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Guo: "Lawyer Shen, you are not allowed to enter the crime scene. You two can walk around."

Shen Nanyi understood, and she took Mu Qizhou around the river behind the house.

The poor innocent soul followed behind them.

The moon is very full tonight, the moonlight is pouring down, and the river behind the house is emitting faint waves.

As soon as we got close to the river, an unpleasant smell hit us. Shen Nanyi covered her lips and nose and introduced:

"This river has not been regulated for a long time and emits a fishy stench, so it has covered up the smell of corpses in the attic for many years."

The neighbors living nearby have smelled the smell all year round and never suspected that it was the stench coming from the corpse. As a result, the corpse hidden in the attic has not been discovered for ten years. Aunt Mao and his wife's house was closest to the river, so the couple thought it was the stench from the river.

No one goes up to the attic all year round, so the couple really knew nothing about the bodies in the attic.

Shen Nanyi briefly introduced the case to Mu Qizhou, then turned to the other side: "Did you remember anything?"

The man looked at the house under the moonlight and was in a daze: "Here..."

His eyes lit up and his face was full of excitement: "I remember! My name is Lou Zhiguo, and this is my girlfriend Axiang's home."

"Axiang?" Shen Nanyi was startled, and a name appeared in his mind: "You mean Aunt Mao's daughter?"

She remembered that Aunt Mao called her "Xiangxiang".

There was sweetness in Lou Zhiguo's eyes, and then he began to worry again: "Is Xiangxiang okay? Does she know that I am dead?"

Aunt Mao's daughter has already married and had children.

Of course I don’t know that Lou Zhiguo is dead.

Shen Nanyi: "In what year did you fall in love with him?"

Lou Zhiguo's eyes became gentle:

"He and I are junior high school classmates and have been dating for many years. We will get married after she finishes her exams."

"Test?" Shen Nanyi was puzzled, "Take the university entrance exam?"

Lou Zhiguo waved his hand: "No, no, she was admitted to the system. Her family hopes that she will have a stable job."

"What year was that?"

"2013, what happened? Isn't this year 2013?" Lou Zhiguo's eyes were full of doubts.

Shen Nanyi and Mu Qizhou looked at each other and sighed: "Lou Zhiguo, this year is 2023."

Lou Zhiguo opened his mouth, trembling a little: "I've been dead for ten years?!"

Ana Shen couldn't bear it and nodded slowly.

"Woo!!!"

Lou Zhiguo lost control of his emotions in an instant. Half of the young man squatted on the ground and cried loudly.

……

Shen Nanyi leaned against the big tree trunk behind the house, raised her hand, and looked at the screen of her phone.

An hour later, Lou Zhiguo was still lying on the ground howling.

Mu Qizhou got a hot drink from somewhere and handed a cup to Shen Nanyi: "Drink some ginger tea to warm yourself up."

Ana Shen was a little surprised and took it with a smile, covering her hands: "Where did you get it?"

Mu Qizhou pursed his lips. Not far away, two young men were handing out the same warm drinks to the police officers on duty at night.

"I asked Chen Ge to send someone to bring some hot food. It's not easy in such a cold weather."

"I didn't expect our superior Mr. Mu to be so considerate."

Shen Nanyi glanced at him, feeling warm in her heart.

Mu Qizhou looked at the aloof Fan who kept strangers away from him, but he didn't expect his thoughts to be so delicate.

Mu Qizhou opened the lid of the cup, blew in the hot air, and smiled softly: "They are all mortal, aren't you cold?"

Shen Nanyi's little face turned pale from the cold wind, and she rubbed the hot drink cup back and forth with her hands to keep warm.

"It's cold. Thank you for the ginger tea. Coffee would be even better."

Mu Qizhou's eyes were deep and his thin lips curved: "I drank too much coffee. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep tonight."

Shen Nanyi took a sip of ginger tea and pursed her lips toward the ground: "No Zhe'er, aren't you still howling here?"

Lou Zhiguo was still squatting on the ground crying and had to wait.

Judging from the progress tonight, I'm afraid I won't even think about sleeping.

Mu Qizhou raised his hand to look at his watch. It was almost midnight: "You just let me cry like this?"

Shen Nanyi took a sip of ginger tea and frowned, the taste was a bit strong.

She smiled at Mu Qizhou with sympathy in her eyes: "You don't understand this. Most of the ghosts who died unjustly have this experience. When you first know that you are dead, you have to go through an acceptance process. Although we brag A bit of cold wind made him feel relieved when he cried, and his breath became smoother, which made it easier to do his ideological work."

There was a smile in Mu Qizhou's eyes, "Okay! Shen Nanyi, I can't tell, you are quite a nice person."

Shen Nanyi felt a little arrogant: "That's right, I am an outstanding employee of the underworld."

Mu Qizhou asked curiously: "Are there any rewards for outstanding employees?"

Shen Nanyi: "There are little red flowers and certificates."

Although she is a novice, she gets certificates of progress and little red flowers every year.

Mu Qizhou supported the tree trunk with his big hands and laughed, shook his head and clicked his tongue: "This underworld is more capitalist than capitalist."

Shen Nanyi was embarrassed by his smile and a little unconvinced: "Then what rewards are there for outstanding employees of Mushi Group?"

Mu Qizhou's eyes were shining with a proud look on his face: "European tour, luxury cars, houses... everything is available, and it's different every year."

Shen Nanyi was instantly pricked in the heart and covered her ears: "Don't listen, don't listen, the monk is chanting sutras."

I am a ferryman and I must not let capitalists corrupt my pure soul.

Mu Qizhou's lips curled up to his ears, and he praised her without hesitation: "Shen Nanyi, you are really great."

Shen Nanyi put down his hand and opened his eyes suddenly: "Mu Qizhou, you have said something humane."

I used to say that her work was not serious.

Mu Qizhou lowered his head and smiled in her ear, with a deep and deep voice: "Are you touched? Not many people can be recognized by me."

Shen Nanyi's ears felt slightly warm, and his heart felt numb. He turned his face and said, "Tch... the King of Stinky Farts."

Mu Qizhou looked at her thin clothes and frowned slightly.

"Do you girls want to be graceful, not warm?"

Ana Shen drank ginger tea and felt that she had become much warmer: "It's okay."

Mu Qizhou lowered his eyes, handed the cup in his hand to Shen Nanyi, and walked straight towards Lou Zhiguo.

He patted Lou on the shoulder: "Brother, a man doesn't shed tears easily. Can we two chat for a while?"

Lou Zhiguo wiped the corners of his eyes and nodded.

Mu Qizhou pulled out two cigarettes from his pocket and handed one over: "Can you smoke?"

He thought for a while and asked Shen Nanyi, "Do I have to burn this cigarette for him?"

Shen Nanyi raised his forehead and thought it was funny: "No, if you can see him, you can communicate with him."

Mu Qizhou was as happy as a child: "I feel like I'm so awesome!"

Shen Nanyi leaned against the tree trunk and laughed out loud.

Lou Zhiguo took the cigarette and brushed his face, full of resentment:

"Hey, you two, showing off your affection in front of me all night is so hurtful!"

Shen Nanyi blushed immediately. Fortunately, it was dark at night: "Hey, Lou Zhiguo, don't talk nonsense. We are..."

Mu Qizhou took over the conversation nonchalantly: "Revolutionary comrade, we are here to save you together."

Lou Zhiguo took a puff of cigarette, still squatting on the ground and sobbing: "Is my Xiangxiang married?"

Mu Qizhou squatted down with him: "It's been ten years. If I don't get married, will I be left a widow for you?"

Lou Zhiguo thought the same thing, "She is a treasure in my heart. Of course I want her to live well."

"That's right." Mu Qizhou patted him on the shoulder: "Look, it's cold at night, why don't we get in the car and continue thinking, see what you still remember, what unfulfilled wishes you have, Brother, help you."

Lou Zhiguo glanced at Mu Qizhou, then turned to glance at Shen Nanyi, who was shivering from the cold, and lowered his voice:

"I understand, brother, she is your baby, am I right?"

Mu Qizhou took a drag on his cigarette and flicked it hard. The ash fell off, and the sparks dimmed and brightened again: "Go, go, you fool."

"Brother, I think Miss Anan is pretty good. She is kind-hearted and doesn't dislike us ghosts. She is an angel just like my baby Xiangxiang."

"Angels fly in the sky, how can mortals deserve it?" Mu Qizhou lowered his eyebrows and smiled self-deprecatingly.

There is still an engagement between him and Gu Xiaoqian that has not been terminated; what's more, he doesn't know what Shen Nanyi thinks about him.

Lou Zhiguo spat out his eyes, "I used to think the same way. I dropped out of school early to work. Axiang was very good at studies and was a graduate student. I also used to have low self-esteem, but Axiang said that feelings have no distinction between classes."

"It sounds like this Xiangxiang is a good girl."

Lou Zhiguo nodded fiercely: "Of course, we made an agreement to get married as soon as she passed the exam. I remember that day when the results were released, I came to her house to wait for the news. I finally fell asleep when she came back."

Mu Qizhou: "Asleep? Died?"

Lou Zhiguo didn't seem to understand: "Am I suffering from some disease?"

Mu Qizhou lowered his eyes, feeling unbearable.

The kid hasn't figured it out yet, but he was cut into pieces.

If he suddenly fell asleep, it was probably because he was drugged.

He raised his eyes and met Shen Nanyi's eyes, each other's eyes revealed doubts.

Who could that person be?
