National Rare Monster Illustrated Book

Shen Qing curled up in the soft quilt and slept until the sun was high. When she went downstairs, she accidentally ran into Du Haoan's mother Xue Shuya.

Xue Shuya is over forty years old, but she looks like someone in her thirties.The makeup is light and gentle, and there is always a gentle and gentle smile on his face.

She should have learned of Shen Qing's existence from her husband, so she smiled at Shen Qing in no surprise: "Good morning, Mr. Ji."

Shen Qing deduced her identity and said, "Morning, madam."

After he had a brief conversation with Xue Shuya, Xue Shuya said that she would order the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and asked Shen Qing carefully about her preferences, then went downstairs and left.

After a while, Shen Qing found Du Hao'an in the outer courtyard who got up for morning exercises.

"Is the room at the end of the third floor occupied?"

Du Haoan was stunned by his straightforward question, and then replied: "No, that's my grandpa's room, he passed away a few years ago."

"In other words, that room has been vacant for a long time?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"……nothing,"

Shen Qing was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll tell you later."

Du Haoan stared at him in confusion for a few seconds, and found that the latter had no intention of explaining, so he said, "Okay then."

Having said that, he was still a little puzzled, and decided to go to the third floor to take a look in person—only to find that the room at the end could not be entered and was locked when he reached the third floor.

"When was it locked?"

Du Haoan pushed the door, but it couldn't be pushed.

Shen Qing was nearby, watching him wrestle with the door lock.

"Why is it locked? I went in a month ago."

Du Haoan quickly drew a piece of talisman paper with the cinnabar pen he carried with him and pasted it on the door lock, bent over and peered inside through a small slit.

"Why is it a piece of red, there is nothing..."

He said, "Forget it, I'd better ask Uncle Li for the key."

Afterwards, Du Hao'an searched around Du's house, but he couldn't find Uncle Li, and the servants also said they didn't see him, so he had no choice but to ask Xue Shuya at the dining table.

"Something happened to Uncle Li's house, so you left early in the morning."

Xue Shuya said softly, "Go to grandpa's room to do something, sit down and have breakfast. After eating, take Mr. Ji to the city for a walk. You young people should not stay at home all the time, you should go out more. Come on , Mr. Ji drinks porridge."

Du Haoan: "..."

So an hour later, they came to Ancheng city again.

Du Haoan was going to buy some things in a commercial street specially set up for demon hunters, Shen Qing took a fire talisman from him without interest, and wandered the street alone.

He hadn't taken a few steps when a person came across the street blocking his way.

"It's you?"

The man's face was full of satisfaction, mixed with joy: "Do you remember me? I'm the policeman from two days ago, Cheng Jing."

Shen Qing thought about it, and remembered the person who almost sent him to the police station.

"You should be handling the case in Haicheng now."

"Case closed,"

Cheng Jing's expression suddenly became very strange, "I took a week off and just came here to attend a funeral."

Shen Qing let out a "huh", knowing that it was the Yaoju Committee who made the move - the existence of ghosts cannot be exposed to the public, and some cases can only be sunk in deep water forever.

He didn't intend to have any more contact with the policeman, just at this moment Cheng Jing answered the phone, Shen Qing turned around to leave, but paused after hearing Cheng Jing's words.

"Hello, Uncle Li? Is the funeral starting? Okay, I'll go there now—"

plum?

Shen Qing stopped in her tracks, turned her head and said, "The Li family you are going to, is there an old man who is a housekeeper?"

Cheng Jing: "Huh?"

……

Shen Qing followed Cheng Jing to the funeral of Li's family. Cheng Jing didn't enter the funeral venue, but just watched from a distance for a while.Not long after, a middle-aged man appeared in front of them.

Cheng Jing said, "Uncle Li."

"coming?"

The middle-aged man looked sad, and he didn't seem to notice that there was someone beside Cheng Jing, "Your aunt just passed out from crying and is resting in the back room now. You take advantage of this time to visit your uncle, just hurry up, don't Too long a delay."

"it is good,"

Cheng Jing said, "Wait here for me."

The second half of the sentence was addressed to Shen Qing. After finishing speaking, Cheng Jing hurried into the funeral venue.

After he left, Shen Qing raised her eyes, and met the middle-aged man's secretly looking gaze.

"……cough,"

The middle-aged man was caught off guard and was embarrassed, "You are the legendary Mr. Ji, right?"

Shen Qing did not answer, but said: "You are just an ordinary person." The implication is that ordinary people do not know his identity at all.

"Yes. I know you are actually because of my cousin. He works in a, uh, monster hunting family. I have been close to him since I was a child, so I know a little bit about it."

The middle-aged man said, "To be honest, I, I want to ask you for something. The price is easy to negotiate, as long as you want me to take a look."

From his words, it is not difficult to find that he only has a half-knowledge about the world of catching monsters, and he doesn't know Shen Qing's true identity, thinking that he is also a monster catching master.

Shen Qing said: "What's your uncle's name?"

The middle-aged man said: "Li Furun, he has worked in the Du family on the outskirts of the city for decades. If you don't believe me, I'll call him right away."

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone to dial, but after making several calls, the phones on the other side were all turned off.

Middle-aged man: "What's going on??" He raised his head and said eagerly, "I'm not lying to you, Mr. Ji, it's just that my cousin doesn't know why he didn't answer my phone—"

"I see,"

Shen Qing raised her hand to signal him not to continue, "I will help you, tell me the details."

There was a subtle twist in his plain words, but the middle-aged man didn't notice it.

He said happily: "Thank you so much! To be honest, the thing is like this..."

He was about to explain the ins and outs to Shen Qing, but he heard a commotion in the funeral venue, accompanied by a woman's scream.

"get out!!"

The middle-aged man's complexion changed slightly, he said "I'm sorry" to Shen Qing, and trotted towards the restless place.Shen Qing slowly followed behind him and entered the funeral venue unimpeded.

In the hall of the venue, several people surrounded a woman who was crying and fell to the ground holding a portrait. Not far from them, Cheng Jing stood in a shadow with his head bowed, silent.

The middle-aged man hurriedly squeezed the people away and ran to the woman, bent down and said some comforting words to her.But instead of being comforted, the woman became even more excited.

"Get out! Let him get out! Get out immediately!"

"Hey, yes, I'll let him go right now, sister-in-law, don't get excited, your body is important."

The middle-aged man hurriedly grabbed Cheng Jing's hand and dragged him out of the funeral venue.

"Let you go early, look at you, alas."

He said helplessly, "Your aunt is agitated now, so don't worry too much about it. In fact, she remembers you and often mentions you to us..."

"Uncle Li."

Cheng Jing interrupted him and shook his head, "Needless to say, I know... I'll be back in a while, please help me give this to my aunt, don't say it's mine."

He took out a thick envelope and handed it to the middle-aged man. Without waiting for the latter to say anything, he turned and left.

Probably because he was too depressed, Cheng Jing forgot about Shen Qing when he left.Shen Qing didn't care either, watching the middle-aged man put away the envelope, and walked towards her again.

"Then, if you are free now, can you visit our company?"

Shen Qing said: "Yes."

-

The middle-aged man's name is Li Jianwei, and he is the general manager of a company in Ancheng.His company has grown to a considerable size in recent years.It's just that something happened in the past few days that caused him a lot of headaches. This incident not only made everyone in the company panic, but also affected the reputation of the company.

"Before, I also asked a few so-called masters to help me read it. They were said to be masters, but they were actually some liars pretending to be ghosts. In the end, they were of no use and added a lot of trouble to the company."

Li Jianwei invited Shen Qing into the company, and flattered him with a smile, "Now that you are here, all problems must be solved."

As he talked all the way, he brought people to the surveillance room and called up a surveillance video from a few days ago.

"Look, you'll understand after reading it."

Shen Qing dragged a chair with one hand and sat down in front of the monitor screen.

The time in the upper left corner of the display is [-]:[-] in the morning. On the seventh floor of the company, a young woman who had just finished working overtime walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.

Time passed by one minute and one second, and at twenty-five seconds, the elevator suddenly stopped running.

The young woman in the elevator froze for a moment, looked around, and then took out her mobile phone.

Twenty minutes and seventeen seconds later, the elevator was running again. In the surveillance video, a child with his head down appeared behind the woman.

Shen Qing clearly felt that Li Jianwei beside him tensed up.

The woman who was still browsing her mobile phone didn't notice the child behind her at all.Twenty minutes and twenty-five seconds later, the elevator arrived at the first floor. The woman walked out of the elevator stepping on high heels. Behind her, the child followed slowly with her head down, and disappeared into the surveillance with the woman.

The screen fell into a snowflake screen.

Shen Qing leaned on the back of the chair and said, "It's gone."

"Yes, the employee disappeared after that night."

Li Jianwei said in a low voice, "We also called the police, but even the police couldn't find out what was going on. Look, did we... get into something dirty?"

Shen Qing said: "I can't tell, maybe it's only aimed at that girl, not your company."

Li Jianwei: "Then what should we do? Mr. Ji, you must help us."

"I'll be here tonight,"

Shen Qing stood up, "You wait for my reply tomorrow."

"Hey, good!"

Li Jianwei responded immediately, and took out a bank card, "There is 5 yuan in this card, which is a deposit. Please accept it first. If I can solve this problem, I will double the reward for you."

Shen Qing, who had never received such a low salary, shook her head lightly, and pushed Li Jianwei's card back.

He took out his mobile phone, stared at the only number in the address book for a few seconds, and then put the mobile phone back.

If he read correctly, the child in the video...is Yang Rong's child, that little bean Han Yan.
