house elf

After finishing the phone call, Xie Ming stood in front of the rusty iron gate and waited.

Soon someone came out of the building and trotted across the deserted flower beds.

"Is that Mr. Xie? Hello, hello." It was a young man with a baby face, wearing jeans and a T-shirt, looking very lively, "I contacted you, my name is Zhao Lue, this is our temporary service place."

Zhao Lue twisted the key and couldn't open the lock for a while, and smiled awkwardly, "It's been a few years, I don't come here often, this time it's because of such a big incident."

"Hello." Xie Ming nodded, "You said on the phone that you wanted me to meet Hu Jing, is she here?"

"Well, it's locked in a cage." Unable to open the lock for no reason, Zhao Lue was sweating, and he responded casually, still trying his best to fight against General Tie.

There was a "click" in the next second, and the lock was unlocked, but the key was also broken inside.

Zhao Lue raised his hand, holding the broken half of the key with two fingers, and then looked at the other half stuck in the keyhole. He was speechless for a while, what kind of luck is he today!

"Mr. Xie, why don't you go in first? Turn left on the first floor and there is a reception room, and our section chief is inside." He opened the rusty iron door with one hand, and the shaft rubbed against it, making a piercing groan.

"I have to buy a lock first"

After opening the door, Zhao Luefeng blew away, Xie Ming had no choice but to walk in by himself.

This place really deserves to be a temporary office. There are messy footprints on the thick dirt in the courtyard. The small western-style fountains on both sides have been abandoned for some time, and the inside is full of dead branches and leaves.

Xie Ming stepped across the courtyard and entered the small western-style building.The inside of the building is only a little less dusty than the outside, and it looks a little cleaner, which is enough for him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Turn left into the first room, the door is open.

Xie Ming glanced at it, and found that the furnishings inside were even simpler, a coffee table with one large, two small and three sofas as standard in an office.Sitting next to the wooden coffee table was a chunky man of a certain age.

Xie Ming recognized that this was the super-criminal staff member he saw after waking up on the day of the banquet.

That is to tell Xie Ming that he only has one month left.

Seeing Xie Ming, the man stood up and shook hands with him, "Hi, I didn't have time to introduce that day, my surname is Zhang, the chief of the Supernatural Criminal Section."

"Hello, Section Chief Zhang." Xie Ming shook hands and sat down, straight to the point, "When can I see Hu Jing, and how can I assist you in the investigation?"

"Let's not talk about this first." Section Chief Zhang waved his hand with a little guilt on his face, "How does your body feel?"

In the process of handling the case, innocent people were involved, which was enough to make Section Chief Zhang uncomfortable.But Xie Ming was unusually calm, neither noisy nor troublesome, and he couldn't let go of it.

Xie Ming didn't show any abnormality in his expression, and said flatly, "It's okay. I also want to thank Section Chief Zhang for helping me seal the demon pill in time that day, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to go home."

"Hey, what are you thankful for?" Section Chief Zhang looked at Xie Ming and said regretfully, "It's a pity to thank you for your talent. Your meridians are extremely broad. If you were discovered by Taoists more than ten years earlier, I am afraid that your future is limitless now. "

Xie Ming, who used to be superstitious about science and didn't understand metaphysics, could only remain silent.

Section Chief Zhang smiled indifferently, and explained, "Ordinary people will be assimilated by the demon power on the spot after swallowing the demon pill. The demon power that you swallowed is even more powerful. Thanks to you holding on, otherwise you will not be able to wait." Come to me to seal that demon pill."

He let out a long breath again, "I've been inquiring for you these two days to see if there is any way to save you."

Xie Ming was moved for a moment, but then he suppressed the throbbing in his heart, calmed down and said, "If there is a way, please help me out. If there is any need for property, I will do my best here Prepare."

This is not the kind of business that Xie Ming is familiar with, and he doesn't know any Taoists who, after preparing for the worst, do everything they can to obey fate.

Section Chief Zhang nodded, "Xiao Xie, don't worry, I will try my best if I can find a way."

As soon as the voice fell, a series of footsteps came from outside the office. Before Zhao Lueren, who went out to buy locks, came in, he proudly called out, "Section Chief, look what I caught! This brat is so brave, he dared to stretch out the lock outside our yard." I was so shy, I caught it without any hassle."

Section Chief Zhang touched his bald head, feeling a little embarrassed.The group of people under him are all out of order, which makes people laugh.

Zhao Lue came in with the things in his hand, Xie Ming took a look.The orange-yellow one looked like a long French stick, Zhao Lue pinched his neck and slid it, his waist was long and his legs were shortened, his claws were shortened, and a pair of round black eyes were wide open.

Is this a weasel?

"Look, have you seen it?" Zhao Lue passed his hand in front of Xie Ming ostentatiously, "there are not many weasels in recent years, especially rare ones like this. I don't know why this one is running around the city. Here it comes, wait for me to take it back to check its background, and then give it an account."

Maybe it was frightened by seeing people, or because Zhao Lue hurt it, the weasel suddenly became excited.The four paws fluttered forward, and the mouth screamed one after another,

Looking at Xie Ming with a pair of black eyes, he was so pitiful that he could shed tears.

Xie Ming frowned slightly, why did he feel that this weasel was asking him for help?

"Hey guy!" Zhao Lue was afraid of hurting Xie Ming, so he quickly withdrew his hand, holding that little beast like a fool.

"Hmm!" Section Chief Zhang couldn't stand it any longer, Zhao Lue could mess up any serious business.

"Xiao Xie, you will chat with Hu Jing in a while. There is surveillance in the room. We mainly want to see her reaction." Section Chief Zhang told Xie Ming a few words, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Zhao Lue holding the weasel stupidly. If you stand still, you won't hit one place.

"Shut up that thing quickly! You can't stay in this room if you fart!"

After being reprimanded, Zhao Lue quickly slipped out to find the cage.

There is a basement under this small building, where Hu Jing was locked up.After Zhao Lue shut down the weasel, he led Xie Ming to find Hu Jing.

"What's the matter with registering the weasel?" Xie Ming endured and endured, but he still spoke.He always felt that the weasel looked at him as if asking for help, and he couldn't help worrying about it.

Zhao Lue laughed and said, "The policy just came out a few years ago, isn't it that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is not allowed to become a spirit illegally? Fairies also need to be registered and reviewed, and only those with proof are allowed to become spirits legally."

Is it legal to become a sperm?Xie Ming, who is superstitious about science, couldn't help feeling a little absurd when he heard this word.

"I'll take it back to the master's gate to see if it has any blood on it. If not, use its blood essence to sign a contract. If there are some, you can sign it without serious transformation for a few years." Zhao Lue After finishing speaking, he sighed, "Now the weasel is a protected animal and cannot be easily harmed. It is even rarer when it becomes a fine animal. It can't be found in the deep mountains and old forests, but I bumped into one here."

Zhao Lue didn't say what would happen if he was seriously tainted with blood evil, but Xie Ming also understood that if bad habits are hard to change, he will probably die.But judging from the appearance of that one, it doesn't look like a vicious one. It is estimated that the worst thing is to modify it to get a certificate.

Xie Ming was relieved, and the room where Hu Jing was locked up also arrived.

"Hu Jing is locked in a cage, and there are formations and talismans inside and outside. She can't hurt you." Before opening the door, Zhao Lue was a little afraid that Xie Ming would not be able to accept it, so he vaccinated her in advance. "She has been beaten back to her original shape now. It's a three-tailed fox demon. I'm right outside the door, if you need something, please call."

"En." Xie Ming nodded without any hesitation or fear.

On the scariest night, he had watched a person turn into a demon with his own eyes. Now, what is there to be afraid of when facing a fox who is tied up?What's more, he still has a lot of doubts in his heart.

Xie Ming walked in, and the door behind him closed with a bang.He roughly scanned the room with a glance, and there was indeed a monitor on the corner of the entrance wall, with a red light flashing.Nodding slightly to the monitor, Xie Ming immediately turned around.

The room is located underground, cold and damp all year round, surrounded by four walls of white walls, empty.In the middle is a cage half a person's height, and inside it is a white fox, which, as Zhao Lue said, has three tails.One of them was cut off, revealing flesh and bones.

After Hu Jing heard the movement, she only opened her eyes for a glance, then closed her eyes and remained motionless, as if she were a real fox without spirituality.

Xie Ming stood three steps away from the cage, and said calmly, "Aren't you surprised that I didn't die?"

Hu Jing closed her eyes and fell asleep, turning a deaf ear.

"After taking that demon pill, ordinary people will become demons on the spot, and they will die when they exhaust their flesh and blood. I'm still alive, which is what you expected." Xie Ming's tone was calm Not ill, and without any anger or hatred, as if talking about other people's affairs.

But his gaze never left Hu Jing, observing her movement carefully.

"You may hate Xu Fengmao, but your target is me." Xie Ming said with certainty.

As soon as his words fell, Hu Jing's ears trembled slightly.Knowing that she had revealed a flaw, she slowly opened her eyes.

Hu Jing's voice was hoarse and stagnant, "Who are you?"

"It seems I'm right." Xie Ming smiled, ignored her question, and continued to reason according to his own thinking, "You were behind me as soon as you appeared, but you were far away from Xu Fengmao, and even attacked Xu Fengmao, you didn't rush over."

"Xu Fengmao's words almost disturbed your mind, and it wasn't until the Super Criminal Division stepped forward to arrest you that you realized that you had arrested me." Xie Ming shook his head, leaned closer to the cage and looked at Hu Jing whose ears were slowly pricking up inside, "You originally It should be planned to approach me quietly, and then force me to swallow the demon pill, so that you have enough time to leave. But"

"Xu Fengmao has too much influence on you. Seeing him get engaged to someone else, you are out of control."

"Heh" Hu Jing sneered and closed his eyes again.

Xie Ming didn't care either, he had already obtained enough information from Hu Jing's reaction.

"The demon pill should not be something you can get easily. I have no grievances with you, so who gave you this demon pill?" Xie Ming circled half a circle, and squatted down in front of the cage with his back facing the monitor. He lowered his voice, "You monsters shouldn't look down on vulgar things like money. Forcing me to swallow the demon pill, and knowing that I can't kill that person or non-human for the time being, who does he want to blackmail through me?"

Hu Jing opened his eyes suddenly, with fear in his eyes.
