Pickpockets, as the name suggests, are evil ghosts who like to pick skins and harm people. They have a vicious and vicious personality. They have a terrifying ability that can hide in people's bodies. In exchange for the human skin you fancy.

The skinless ghost is close to the painted skin ghost, but the painted skin ghost is more vicious and will eat people and leave skins, while the skinless ghost is just obsessed with beautiful human skin. Do not eat people.

Wei Shiming has dealt with pickpockets before, and knows that although they are good at concealment, they still have a scar on their backs that cannot be concealed, and they are extremely afraid of fire. Although it is difficult to find them, there are traces to follow. Isn't it true? Can't find it.

But if it is the old ghost that He Jin said, it will be much more difficult than imagined.

Wei Shiming frowned and said, "I'll ask them and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

He Jin: "Okay."

"Rest early." Wei Shiming threw the rest of the meat into the water for the little black turtle to eat by himself, while he got up and went back to his room to pack up and go back to the underworld.

He Jin said calmly from behind: "Eat less spicy food in the future."

Wei Shiming: "...Oh."

Sure enough, it was discovered.

……

In the early hours of the morning, a bus was slowly driving on the road. The car seemed a little old, and there were constant clicking sounds during driving, but fortunately, the lights were bright, and the license plate stand in front of it could be seen from a distance, and it braked in time Stop and open the front and rear doors.

The young man waiting at the license plate station walked up without raising his head while listening to music with headphones on. Just as his right foot was about to step on, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder from behind.

The young man trembled and almost screamed, but when he looked back, he found that it was a young man about his own age. He took off the earphones and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?" While talking, he took two steps back vigilantly, as if worried that the young man would do what.

Wei Shiming pointed to the bus and said, "This is not for people to sit on. You will have to see clearly in the future."

The young man was a little astonished and confused. Looking back in the direction of his finger, he saw a group of black and swollen faces lying on the bus window. They were greedily staring at his body, as if they only wanted to Stepping on the car could tear him to pieces, and at this moment, because he stopped, he became a little impatient, wishing to rush off the bus and catch him up.

The young man suddenly screamed in fright, turned around and hugged Wei Shiming, and shouted: "Ghost!! There are ghosts!!!"

Wei Shiming: "..."

He tore off the clothes on his body, and said: "Hurry up and go home now and don't wander around outside. If you bump into a ghost, it means that your anger is too weak. Go to a nearby Taoist temple to worship to get rid of bad luck."

The young man agreed again and again, and said pitifully, "Well...can you take me home? I can give you money, but I'm afraid I will encounter ghosts..."

Wei Shiming refused: "No, I still have something to do."

The young man had already regarded him as a master, and he only begged, "Any amount is fine! Please! Why isn't this car leaving!!"

Seeing him like this, Wei Shiming took out a piece of talisman paper from his bag and handed it to him: "Put it in your pocket and put it on, so that you can go home safely... This car is not leaving because I asked him to come, you Hurry up, or you will go up with me?" The last sentence is purely to scare people.

"No, no, no, no, no need." The young man wanted to cry or not, he took the talisman paper and ran away, only the distant echo said: "Thank you, master, for saving my life, I won't bother you." Master catches ghosts, see you by fate!"

Wei Shiming: "..."

After the hell, he didn't run so fast, which shows that his physical and mental quality is still very good.

It is estimated that tonight will also leave a deep impression on him.

Thinking about it, Wei Shiming looked back at the bus that was still parked quietly. He zipped up his backpack and put it on his back again, and stepped on the bus: "Let's go!"

The door was closed, and the bus continued to drive. It was still the familiar end-of-the-road bus, the familiar half-headed driver, and the most beautiful little girl in red... Wei Shiming also specially bought her some toys this time, wrapped in talisman Burn the paper to her.

The little girl in red suddenly laughed happily, and said sweetly, "Thank you, General."

"You're welcome." Wei Shiming is always more tolerant towards children, especially the souls of children who are innocent and will not do evil.

The interior of the car quickly returned to calm. As the car moved forward, the scenery on the roadside became more and more remote, and the temperature in the air gradually became icy cold. White lights led the way, paper money was everywhere, and ghost soldiers walked slowly from the side of the bus. Slowly drifting by, the driven chains rattled, and soon disappeared in the black mist.

Although it appeared briefly, Wei Shiming still noticed it. He asked the little girl, "Is the entry and exit of the underworld very strict recently?"

The little girl nodded: "Something happened during the Hungry Ghost Festival, and then Yin soldiers began to patrol the road."

Wei Shiming: "What's the matter? Is there a ghost making trouble or is there a ghost that escaped?"

The little girl swayed her calf: "I don't know either. The King of Hades ordered not to spread it indiscriminately. Few people in the underworld know about it."

Wei Shiming was silent, and after entering the underworld, he got out of the car and went to find King Hades.

On the way, they met Cui Fuyin and Niutou Mamian who hurried past, and the four ghost kings also gathered together.While observing, Wei Shiming thought about it, and felt that something must have gone wrong in the underworld... Maybe it has nothing to do with the pickpocket, it's just purely about the underworld, but it must be something serious.

——It's no wonder that the King of Hades agreed to give him a deposit first. It is estimated that he really can't afford to fight wits and courage with the pickpockets, so he can only let himself be blackmailed.

Thinking about it, Wei Shiming became more and more in a good mood, he pushed open the door of the hall and stepped in.

The hall was quiet and silent, Black and White Wuchang was standing in the hall with his head bowed and silent, Yan Wang stared at the book in his hand with a serious expression, the cinnabar pen in his hand hadn’t fallen off, he didn’t know what he was weighing, and the book on the other side was already piled up for a whole Three stacks are waiting for comment.

The sound of Wei Shiming pushing the door disturbed them, and they all looked over at once.

Wei Shiming raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter? It seems that you don't welcome me very much."

Yan Wang snorted coldly and did not speak.Bai Wuchang was the peacemaker, and said: "The general was joking... I wonder if the general came back suddenly?"

"It's okay..." Wei Shiming walked into the hall and said, "I just don't quite believe what you said, so I came here to see what's going on with this commission."

Bai Wuchang glanced at Hades, smiled and said: "The general is joking, it is true that the pickpocket escaped from the underworld. He is good at hiding in the crowd, which is very bad for us to catch ghosts, so I want to ask the general to help complete it. There is no other concealment."

Wei Shiming: "Oh, then did this pickpocket escape during the Hungry Ghost Festival, or did you only find out that he escaped during the Hungry Ghost Festival?"

Bai Wuchang: "It was only when the Hundred Ghosts were released on the Ghost Festival that I discovered that the skin-splitting ghosts in the Ninth Hall, Abi Great Hell, escaped in the form of objects."

Wei Shiming was quite aggressive, and continued to ask: "How did you escape? The law and order in your hell is not so bad, you can't even find a 200-year-old kid?"

Bai Wuchang sighed helplessly, and explained: "Picking Ghost was originally a disciple of a family of metaphysics. Because of his greed, he was killed by a catastrophe. He was struck to death by lightning at that time, so his whole body was dark and bruised. There is no good place. He covets others every day She was skinny, and later she couldn't bear the temptation to do evil again, so she was caught by ghost messengers and sent to hell."

Hei Wuchang continued: "But no one thought that this skin-splitting ghost was so sinister that he had been hiding the two treasures of Yeniu Fugu and Bailangshuang, which had been dormant for 200 years. Finally, he found the opportunity to melt them with Bailangshuang. The shape conceals people's eyes and ears, and he escaped from hell at night, and it was not until the ghosts were released on the Ghost Festival that Ma Mian found out that something was wrong."

Wei Shiming said with a cold face: "Then why didn't you make it clear to me?"

Bai Wuchang: "Recently, there are too many things in the underworld that I have forgotten... I originally planned to go to the general to explain clearly at that time, and handed over the soul-chasing order to the general, but I didn't expect the general to come to the door with such good news."

Hei Wuchang also nodded: "I planned to go to the general again tomorrow night. After all, the last time I was in a hurry because of the entrustment, I didn't explain many things clearly."

Wei Shiming's face turned better, and he said: "That's not too bad... Actually, I came this time to tell you that when the person who issued the commission deliberately concealed the content of the commission, causing us to receive wrong information, we can Those who cancel the entrustment and do not need to refund the deposit."

Black and white impermanence: "..."

The general is really getting more and more philistine.

"Don't worry." Wei Shiming said, "Since we are old friends and you didn't do it on purpose, I won't do it."

The King of Hades who had been silent all this time snorted coldly: "You are ashamed to say that with my salary, you have to pay extra for catching ghosts. No one like you can be found in the whole hell."

Wei Shiming: "You're ashamed to say that at the beginning, I was so full of praise, but in the end, you kicked me out of the underworld and left it alone? You also told me how much money in the world is more expensive than money in the underworld, and it is indeed much more expensive , but things in Yangjian are also fucking expensive!"

Hades: "Why are you talking to me! You little devil can't correct your attitude!"

Wei Shiming: "I'm still the 130th ghost who made trouble in the underworld and was engraved on the stone tablet at the end of the flowers on the other side. That's my attitude!"

Yan Wang threw the writing brush angrily: "I knew that nothing good would happen as soon as you came back, so leave as soon as you finish talking."

Wei Shiming: "I won't leave! I haven't finished talking about black and white impermanence."

The two of them quarreled like children, yelling at each other childishly, neither letting the other go.Black and white impermanence caught in the middle, a dry laugh and a silence, waited until the end before interjecting.

Hei Wuchang said to King Yama: "Master Yama, you haven't finished processing this book yet, the underworld is so busy now that we can't delay..."

Bai Wuchang said to Wei Shiming: "General, calm down, let's go out and talk, and get you the soul chasing order by the way."

Wei Shiming glanced at Yan Wang, made a grimace, and followed Bai Wuchang out of the hall, so angry that Yan Wang almost knocked the table.

Bai Wuchang took Wei Shiming to the magistrate to get the soul-chasing token, and explained: "The soul-chasing token is made by us using the substitutes left by the pickpocket ghost, and it can be reminded during the general's pursuit. There is also a copper bell produced by our underworld, I believe the general will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and he will be able to catch the pickpocket soon."

Wei Shiming smiled but said: "Farewell, I feel that I am not so capable..." After he finished his modesty, he pretended to be casual and said: "What happened to your underworld?"

Bai Wuchang glanced at the ghost officials who were hurrying back and forth, and sighed: "The sequelae of Zhongyuan, it will be healed after a while."

There are always evil spirits who are obsessed with obsession and greedy for the world. At this time, the underworld needs to come out to solve them, arrest them and convict and punish them again.

Wei Shiming nodded: "That's good, I thought something serious happened."

Bai Wuchang's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "The five ghost emperors, Yama of the Ten Palaces, and Emperor Fengdu are suppressing the big things, and it has nothing to do with me and other small officials."

Wei Shiming: "That's it."

He didn't really want to know about the messy things in the underworld, but he was just worried that there was something hidden about the underworld commission... If it had nothing to do with pickpockets, it would be easy.

Wei Shiming got the answer he wanted, and checked the commission content with Bai Wuchang. After confirming that nothing was left behind this time, he took the soul-chasing order and took the last bus to leave the underworld.

The room was brightly lit. He Jin sat in the living room and waited. When he saw him come back, he poured a cup of hot tea: "I'm back."

"I'm back... why haven't you slept yet?" Wei Shiming looked up at the clock while changing his shoes, it was almost three o'clock now.

He Jin didn't answer, just asked: "How is it?"

Wei Shiming also went to the sofa and said: "If you talk about the timeline, it can be matched. They don't know when the pickpockets escaped. They only know when the ghosts are released on the Ghost Festival...give me The entrustment was issued because there was something wrong down there and I couldn't get out, so I contacted me."

He Jin: "Yes."

Wei Shiming: "This pickpocket is a bit tricky, not just because he is a 200-year-old ghost, but because he was born in a metaphysical family and has a certain reserve of metaphysical knowledge. It must be easier to disguise, and there are many ghosts who can't do it. Skills, plus Skin Picker can be active during the day, it will be very difficult to find."

He Jin motioned him to drink some hot water: "Now the police are investigating the victim. Although the playground is abandoned, there is a camera on the street in front of it with an angled angle that can just shoot in. Every day people who enter can record it. And Xiao Wei killed the victim with his hands. People are very cautious, they wait and see every day and count the number for the evil spirits to prevent them from becoming more greedy, and the people who will be deleted at that time will be the ones who were harmed by the pickpockets, so first investigate from their homes."

Skinning ghosts are evil ghosts that live under the skin of other people. If someone in the victim list suddenly "resurrects", it is 100% the work of skinning ghosts.

Wei Shiming leaned on the sofa and said: "Thinking about it, something was wrong with the haunted house case at the time. Obviously, the evil spirits in the haunted house swallowed up all the people, so what happened to the broken corpses discarded outside... There was no such thing at the time. Think about it more, the more you think about it now, the weirder it becomes."

He Jin said: "It's our preconception."

Wei Shiming was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "If the skinker knew the existence of the haunted house and Xiao Wei from the beginning, and fished in troubled waters, the victim skinned and poured dirty water on Xiao Wei, let's not say that he has a high IQ." For the matter, he hibernates in the dark the whole time... Has he seen and known us?"

He Jin obviously thought of it a long time ago, and said calmly: "80.00% possibility of five."

Wei Shiming clicked his tongue: "It's another blindfolded ghost hunt, but the ghosts can see our commission..."

As he said that, Wei Shiming suddenly cupped his fists and said, "Brother, it's up to you!"
