The "mountain ghost" is blamed on the strokes.

It is not a "丿" on its head, but three small circles arranged in a straight line, with "Tian" in the middle, a special-shaped "Ji" on the left below, and a straight-legged "6" on the right. The more you look at it, the more it looks like A man with a "mountain" face was ostentatiously walking through the city wearing a pearl chain and carrying a bag.

Du Hanzhang was still watching, but Huang Xing on the opposite side was impatient, and the phone was occupying the screen again. Du Hanzhang picked it up, and heard him urging over there: "Do you see what's coming? This is a 'mountain ghost'."

He doesn't have a sharp eye, how can he see through everything at a glance, Du Hanzhang turned on the speaker, exited the call interface, clicked on the second photo again, looked at it and said: "No, but I don't think it looks like text. , more like a totem or pattern.”

"No matter what it looks like, you can look it up for me, and tell me what it is when it's over."

There was a sudden "click" sound from the receiver. It was Huang Xing who was on the opposite side lighting a cigarette. Because he wanted to use both mouths and mouths, he couldn't speak clearly: "Is it okay, team leader?"

In the Alien Prevention Office, the team leader led the team. Du Hanzhang felt uncomfortable with this title after a long time. He said, "Just don't call me that."

"That's fine, Mr. Du," Huang Xing changed his words immediately, "I'll wait for your news."

Du Hanzhang responded, as if forgetting that he was on his way to work: "Where is Lu Tao now? I'll go and see him."

"At the Third City Hospital, how soon can you come over? If it's not long, I'll wait for you here, let's talk." Huang Xing was now in a daze, unable to figure out anything, and wanted to talk to someone .

If there is no traffic jam on the road, Du Hanzhang said: "20 minutes."

"That's not long, I'll wait for you, he's here at the morgue," Huang Xing breathed out, suddenly kicked for some reason, and said in a very irritable tone, "Fuck!"

Du Hanzhang didn't say "sorry" to him, it was a well-intentioned consolation, but Huang Xing probably won't be able to say goodbye in a short time, that's his own brother.

After turning left and making a call, Du Hanzhang stuck his phone on the bracket and dialed He Shi's number.

He Shi is the deputy director of the Wuchang Sub-bureau, and the sub-bureau is the window for new ghosts in Jinxi City to report to Youdu.

After five beeps, the person on the other side picked up the call. The speaker's voice was lazy and feeble, and he sounded like a lazy person: "Oh rare customer, Boss Du, who is so busy that he doesn't even want to make money, actually called me. What are you doing?"

This ghost is just like this, and he likes to take sarcasm as humor. Du Hanzhang is used to it, so he just talks about things: "Are you in the branch office? I want to check a ghost that was reincarnated last night. Please help me to see if he has visited you." Bureau reports."

He Shi is still watering the flowers at home at the moment, but his house is just behind the sub-bureau, and he will be there through the courtyard gate. He said curiously, "I'll go there right away. Who's the name of the person you want to check? Tell me the date of birth and fate." palace."

Because the quality of the soul is easy to drift, Youdu uses the time coordinates to make the seal book, and the eight characters plus the palace are equivalent to the household registration in the world.

Du Hanzhang knew their rules, and would also convert the heavenly stems and earthly branches, and quickly reported: "My name is Lu Tao, you know her, and her birthday is the year of Kuiyou..."

"February [-]th, the Palace of Fate is Shen, right?" He Shi interrupted, "I know about your employee's car accident. Huang Xing just asked me half an hour ago."

The Alien Prevention Office and the Impermanence Sub-bureau are linked in terms of security. Since Huang Xing asked, maybe there will be results. Du Hanzhang said: "Well, have you checked it?"

"I checked, Xiao Lu looks like a long-lived person, but Shen Gong is a relocation palace, there are too many variables, alas," He Shi said regretfully, "When I checked half an hour ago, he hadn't Come to report, the soul seems to be 'lost'."

Youdu's soul mechanism is different from the well-known underworld. There are no bull-headed horse noodles and Mengpo soup in Youdu, and human souls don't need to be detained. They can't bear the earth's energy at all. Once the soul body transforms, it will automatically float away. Xiang You is open in the small world of the human world, that is, in each sub-bureau, otherwise it will be melted by the yang energy.

Of course, certain strong obsessions can delay this process.

Lost is a more polite term. Generally, in this situation in the police station, the word used may be escape.

After escaping, ghosts that have not been refined by yang energy are fierce ghosts in the human world, criminals in Youdu. Shade trees are planted in the ground.

According to Lu Tao's personality before his death, he should not dare to take the initiative to escape, so there are two possibilities left: first, he has resistance that he cannot go; second, his soul is also dead.

People die, so do ghosts, but what will ghosts become after they die?

Regarding this problem, there is a book called "You Ming Lu" in the world. In the book, there is a sentence: When a person dies, he becomes a ghost, when a ghost dies, he becomes a dwarf. [1]

But where do these D, Xi, and Yi families live, and how old are they?There is no mention of it in the works of the Three Realms.

Even the ghosts in Youdu didn't know Di, and Du Hanzhang was naturally nowhere to be found. He hung up the phone, seeming preoccupied along the way.

After 5 minutes, he entered the hospital, but it took him 10 minutes to park the car and went to the morgue with ease, but before he got there, he bumped into Huang Xing who was sitting on the steps smoking a cigarette.

Huang Xing is thirty years old this year, with thick eyebrows and a square face, with a crew cut. He looks masculine and vigorous. He is usually the leader of the second team, but now he is a bit sad. He doesn't even need basic civilized qualities. The ground in front of him is either cigarette butts or ashes.

Du Hanzhang walked over, patted him on the shoulder twice, then passed him straight to the unlisted room at the end of the corridor.

It is said to be a morgue here, but it is actually an empty room with a bunch of stretcher beds. There are also refrigerators and anatomy rooms, but Lu Tao can't use them.

At this moment, he was lying on the stretcher near the door in the house, the white cloth only covered his chest, his face was exposed, he probably left very quickly, and the panic still remained in his expression.

Du Hanzhang didn't go in, and looked at him through the glass strip on the door for a while, feeling regretful in his heart.

Maybe he made an extra phone call before going to bed yesterday, and the matter may not stop there, but in the final analysis, the tragedy is still the responsibility of the perpetrator.

Du Hanzhang went back and sat next to Huang Xing: "Didn't you come to chat with me? What do you want to talk about?"

Huang Xing sucked the rest of the cigarette near the end of the cigarette in one breath, then threw the butt of the cigarette on the ground, and said, "Let's talk about Lu Tao's ghost, his soul is gone."

The three words "disappeared" moved Du Hanzhang's heart, and suddenly thought of Yu Yiqin, because he also said yesterday that his sister was missing.

Then Lu Tao and Gu Chunxiao both had something to do with that construction site.

"I know," Du Hanzhang said, "I just asked He Shi."

Huang Xing was so stuffed up in his heart, he shook out another cigarette and said in his mouth, "Yanzi said that you went to the office last night with another man named Yu..."

When he said this, his tone was drawn out, and his eyeballs rolled up, as if he was recalling.

Captain Lu has a lot of things to do every day, and it is normal not to remember the name of one of the informants in many cases. Du Hanzhang reminded: "Yiqin."

"Yes, Yu Yiqin," Huang Chen said suddenly, "She said you two reported the case together. I haven't had time to look at that case yet. You are an eyewitness. Just tell me."

Regardless of whether it was from the perspective of Huang Xing's loss of a loved one or the fact that this person had worked with him, Du Hanzhang would not be stingy with a few words. He recounted what he had seen and heard on the construction site, and at the same time he did not forget to mention Yu Yiqin's reminder before leaving.

He said: "Yu Yiqin gave me a clay sculpture of that ghost. I don't know how similar it is. I put it in the car and I'll bring it to you later."

Huang Chen nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "From what you said, the disappearance of Yu Yiqin's sister, the murder case on the construction site, and Lu Tao's car accident may all be caused by the same group of forces." yes, right?"

Normally, Du Hanzhang would not answer this sentence. He always remembers that he is a common man, but now is not the time to think about himself.

"If you ask me," Du Hanzhang said, "I would indeed associate it that way."

Huang Xing was not in the mood to handle the case now, so he said without turning his head: "Then where do you think we should start to investigate?"

Du Hanzhang reached out to pick up a cigarette butt, raised his hand and threw it out. The cigarette butt drew an arc in the air and fell into the trash can two meters away.

"There are a lot of clues, calm down and follow them one by one."

Huang Xing wanted to follow, but there was a shortage of people in the anti-transformation office. Lu Tao's car accident really made him anxious, and Huang Xing suddenly said in a whimsical way: "Mr. Du, otherwise I'll ask you to read Feng Shui? Check it in the previous office, help me check the Feng Shui in this case, and I will settle the bill with you at the market price."

Du Hanzhang: "..."

Huang Chen has a calm personality, and he is completely different from the escaped Lu Tao in terms of appearance and personality, but at this moment Du Hanzhang suddenly felt the power of blood relationship.

Huang Xing was probably confused to come up with such a bad idea, but Du Hanzhang was silent for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, but the market price is not necessary," he said in a normal tone, but with deep eyes, "I want something else."

Only when this person is not smiling can people suddenly realize that his facial features are actually a bit sharp, and those gentle and good temper may be an illusion at all.

Huang Xing was always a little apprehensive about his expression, bit the cigarette butt in his mouth and said, "What do you want?"

Du Hanzhang looked at him, and the stern look on his face showed that he was not joking: "I want a national investigation right."

Huang Xing was feeling sad, hearing this, he wanted to punch someone every minute.

The last time he was caught by others and labeled as a demon because he used the power of investigation by leaps and bounds. As a result, many years have passed, and he still remembers eating but not beating.

That Yu Xueyan, what did he do to him?What kind of enmity or resentment caused him to pursue him so hard?

Huang Xing pointed at himself speechlessly, and resisted the urge to make a loud noise: "I, a small captain at the city level, what do you think I have to do with the whole country?"

Du Hanzhang smiled and regained his composure: "Then how do I know? I'm just negotiating business with you and setting conditions."

This is not called placing conditions, this is fucking whimsical!

Huang Chen vomited for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed out of anger, and felt a pain in his chest while laughing, his younger brother died so badly that he even lost his soul.

The author has something to say: [1]: When a person dies, he becomes a ghost, when a ghost dies, he becomes a dwarf.I didn't write where I wanted to stop.
