ghost

"What? Wu Chang died?" Fang Xia was taken aback, his eyes widened slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.

The two policemen on the opposite side looked at each other, and the person in charge of the questioning continued: "Yes, we received a report last night. Now we preliminarily speculate that this is a homicide case. However, you don't have to be too nervous, we It's just a routine, asking some questions to people who have been in contact with Wu Changsong recently."

"I was drawing at home last night, and I didn't go out." Fang Xia suppressed the surprise on his face a little, and looked up at Fu Jin, who was standing behind the policeman who was taking notes, "I'm the only one at home. There is nothing that can prove it for me. However, the monitoring of this apartment building is quite perfect, and the elevators in the corridors have cameras. You can check that I have not gone out. Moreover, I have actually met that old man Wu twice, which is not counted. If there is any hatred, it's just that he can't understand me unilaterally."

The policeman who was interrogating on the opposite side nodded, and then asked Fang Xia what happened when he met Wu Changsong.When Fang Xiayin went to the evil ghost, he only said that Wu Chang sent him to show Fengshui to Yang's family. He accidentally lost his way in the grove of Gexia Mountain at night. They helped find him.

"We heard from Wu Changsong's apprentice that Wu Changsong has a problem with you because of a painting?"

"That's a painting that he damaged Mr. Yang. We found an ancient painting in the middle of that painting. The Yang family asked me to find someone to restore it, but Wu Changsong didn't agree." Fang Xia Banzhen half false way.

That ancient painting is a thing of double yin. Naturally, this statement is the same as that of an evil spirit. It cannot be told to the police. If it is said, it will probably be regarded as a psychopath.And the existence of that ancient painting does not need to be kept secret. Mr. Yang originally planned to dispel the evil energy above, so he donated the painting to the museum.

"Where is that painting now?"

"I was taken away by the person I hired to repair the painting yesterday." Fang Xia replied.

"Can you tell us the contact information of the painter?"

Fang Xia: "..." Damn it, how would he know Geng Zhongzhi's contact information?

Fang Xia unconsciously looked up at Fu Jin.

[Call to ask Geng Shudan. ]

Fang Xia called Geng Shudan in front of the two policemen, asked for Geng Zhongzhi's contact information, and revealed that he had assigned Geng Zhongzhi the identity of a painter.

After sending the two policemen away, Fang Xia hurriedly called Yang Yichen.The police on his side have sent people to ask questions, and the Yang family will definitely not miss it. He has to tell the Yang family the excuse of sending the autumn hunting picture for repair.

"The police came to our house this morning. My grandfather said it was sent for appraisal." Yang Yichen said, "It's not a big problem. Anyway, before sending it to the museum, I really plan to ask an expert to do a rough inspection." Repair. And Wu Changsong was killed, it should have nothing to do with the painting, probably because Wu Changsong's apprentice mentioned it repeatedly, so the police specifically asked about it."

When Wu Changsong was sent away by Yang Yichen, he was very dissatisfied with Fang Xia's taking away the painting, so it's not surprising that he would mention it repeatedly to his apprentice.That was what Wu Changsong cared most about before he died. Maybe his apprentice thought that his master had made enemies because of the painting, so he would naturally tell the police about it.

"What do you know?" Fang Xia said, put the phone on speaker, and looked up at Fu Jin who was opposite.

"My dad asked someone in the hotel to inquire about it. It is said that on the floor of the room at the scene, a magic circle was drawn with blood, and Wu Changsong was lying in the blood circle, and--the blood that drew the magic circle seemed to be Wu's blood. Changsong's own blood, because Wu Changsong has many wounds on his body, and the blood is so white that it can't flow out..." At this point, Yang Yichen paused slightly, "But this is just what the hotel staff said, it may be the discovery of the scene. Some people read it wrong, or it may be a misrepresentation, whether it is true or false depends on the police appraisal report."

Fu Jin was sitting at the solid wood round table by the floor-to-ceiling window, and Fang Xia Ban was lying on the edge of the solid wood round table, looking at Fu Jin with his cheeks resting on his hands.

[Sounds like death at the hands of a warlock. ] Fu Jin said neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, [but it may also be just a way for the living to play tricks. ]

Fang Xia and Yang Yichen discussed a few more words on the phone, but in the end they didn't come up with any reliable results.They have no access to the specific circumstances of Wu Changsong's case.Some of the information that can be obtained is privately passed on by the hotel staff, and it is uncertain whether there is any truth in it.

However, it is the police's business to solve the case, and there is no reason for them to pursue the case.Even if the murderer in this case is a warlock, that is the business of those people in the mysterious art circle, and it has nothing to do with Fang Xia who does not intend to enter the mysterious art circle.

Fang Xia thought that the matter was over like this, and at most the police would come to ask him a few words.Unexpectedly, on a rainy day three days later, he was called by Gu Wenkai to a teahouse in the city center.

Fang Xia was led into the private room by the waiter of the restaurant, and found that Gu Wenkai was not the only one in the private room.

This is a very old-fashioned private room in a tea house. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a hollow carved folding screen. In front of the screen, the room is in the center, and there is a long log table. Log Taishi Chair.

The retro and chic decoration, exquisite and charming furnishings are very in line with the high consumption level of this teahouse, but this is not the point. The point is that apart from Gu Wenkai, Geng Zhongzhi and Zou Wumang are also there.

There are a total of four people in the private room.

Geng Chongzhi and Zou Wumang faced each other, sitting on both sides of the long table; Gu Wenkai sat next to Geng Zhongzhi, facing a middle-aged man in his early 40s, looking very energetic.

Gu Wenkai stood up and was about to greet Fang Xia, when Zou Wumang chuckled, and spoke first, "Fang Xia, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, do you think this is our fate?"

Fang Xia rolled his eyes at Zou Wumang, and said in a nonchalant manner, "This shows that I acted lightly last time, and you didn't understand the relationship between us at all. Do you think I should give you another one?" pause?"

"Uh...what's the situation?" Gu Wenkai looked around between Fang Xia and Zou Wumang, and asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, it's just that this Mr. Zou tried to dig Fang Xia into their Xuanyong sect earlier." Geng Zhongzhi picked up the teacup unhurriedly, and took a sip of tea.

"It wasn't before, I still have the same attitude now." Zou Wumang glanced at Geng Chongzhi who was opposite him, looked at Fang Xia and said with a smile, "Last time you acted too fast, and I didn't finish my sentence--Fang Xia, I will You are welcome to join our Xuanyong Sect."

"He is from the Geng family." Geng Zhongzhi put down his teacup and looked at Zou Wumang in warning.

"But it doesn't seem to be taken seriously by your Geng family." Zou Wumang raised his eyebrows in a half-smile, and the scar at the tip of his brow followed his facial movements, revealing a bit of hostility.

"I'm from the Fang family, not from the Geng family, and I'm not interested in the Xuanyong faction. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Fang Xia turned and wanted to leave.

Gu Wenkai hurried over to stop Fang Xia, and pulled him to his seat.

After scanning around the empty seats, Fang Xia chose to sit on the side of Zou Wumang, across from the strange middle-aged man.He added a chair beside him, let Fu Jin sit down, poured tea for Fu Jin graciously, arranged the teacup, and sat down with satisfaction.

The waiter had already retreated, and the private room fell into a very delicate atmosphere, and no one spoke for a while.

"Cough!" Finally, Gu Wenkai coughed dryly, broke the inexplicable silence in the private room, and said to Fang Xia, "I called you out, mainly to ask Mr. Fu Jin for a favor, but this arrangement seems to have troubled you. I am very sorry I'm sorry, I didn't understand the situation on your side, I just thought it would be more convenient to discuss this way."

"What do you want to discuss?" Fang Xia didn't have a bad impression of Gu Wenkai. In the few days he had been in contact with him in S City, he felt that he was quite speculative.Opening his mouth to answer the words was to give Gu Wenkai a face.

"With regard to Wu Changsong's case, it has been determined that someone from the Xuanshu circle committed the crime, so the higher-ups handed over the investigation right to Team Chen."

The Chen team that Gu Wenkai was talking about was named Chen Ming, who was the strange middle-aged man next to Fang Xia.

Chen Ming, the former captain of the criminal investigation team in S City, has been nominated as the captain of the investigation team of the State Bureau of Special Criminal Cases because of his exposure to many cases in the mysterious arts circle, and is responsible for investigating cases related to people in the mysterious arts circle.

The captain of the investigation team of the State Bureau of Special Criminal Cases sounds majestic, but he is actually a very hard-working character.The National Bureau of Special Criminal Cases was actually established a few years ago, but they have never been able to recruit useful people, and naturally they can't solve the case beautifully, and it has almost become a criminal investigation.

It's not that the Special Criminal Bureau has no people who understand mystic arts, it's just that the aristocratic families and sects in the mystic arts circle don't buy into them. Really powerful people will not enter the Special Criminal Bureau, which directly leads to the real bigness in the mysterious arts circle. Before the case, they could only follow the aristocratic family and sect to watch silently.

And Chen Ming, as the captain of the investigation team of the Special Criminal Bureau, is almost like a polished commander. He wants to use his hands to investigate the case, but he doesn't have a good person in his hands, and the case related to the mysterious circle will inevitably be pushed back. In their hands, it turned out to be an unsolved case, or to follow the aristocratic family and sect to pick up the results, how could it be so hard?

Gu Wenkai is somewhat capable in mystic arts, but he is a member of the Gu family, belonging to a family in the mystical arts circle, so it is not just his own willingness to be transferred to the Special Criminal Bureau.Chen Ming could only thicken the face of the old leader and occasionally ask Gu Wenkai for a favor.

As for Geng Chongzhi and Zou Wumang—

Zou Wumang drove evil spirits to hurt ordinary people, Geng Zhongzhi originally wanted to take him to their sect to explain, but he didn't have time to leave.Before Wu Chang died, he had a conversation with Zou Wumang, and Zou Wumang was questioned by the police.

Although Wu Changsong was unknown in the circle, he was also a member of the Xuanshu circle. Geng Zhongzhi naturally found a way to understand his death.With this understanding, it was discovered that Wu Changsong died at the hands of a warlock, and Geng Zhongzhi couldn't sit idly by.Just like what Zou Wumang said, the aristocratic family sets rules for the mystical art circle, and in the maintenance of the self-proclaimed order, when people in the circle kill each other, they naturally cannot let it go.

Later, it happened that Chen Ming brought Gu Wenkai over. Even though Gu Wenkai made such a conversation, these people sat in the private room of the teahouse.

Around this tea table, representatives from the state departments, aristocratic families, sects, and the three parties gathered, which can be regarded as the epitome of the current situation in the entire Xuanshu circle.

The author has something to say:

-

The first square table meeting of the Xuanshu circle.

Geng Zhongzhi: Hmph!

Zou Wumang: Hehe.

Chen Ming (weak, pitiful and helpless): ...

Fang Xia: Fu Jin, your tea is cold, I'll pour you another cup.

Fu Jin: Not busy, you go to the show first.
