Chapter 35
Chapter 35
Xu Qian is not a timid person either. As soon as Wen Ran said it, he knew that the other party wanted to use him as bait to lure snakes out of the hole, so he took off all the talismans on his body and asked: "What about the police badge?" Don't you need it too?"
Wen Ran said: "Take them all down, anyway, you have already been marked by ghosts, and the protection of these things is almost gone for you."
Xu Qian nodded, and after taking off all the things on his body, he followed Wen Ran out, but looking at Wen Ran, Xu Qian asked curiously: "Would that ghost feel the breath of the master and dare not come? "
Wen Ran shook his head: "No." His cultivation method is different from that of this world, and with intentional suppression, ghosts can't see it at all.He didn't know at first, but the Master Lu he met before didn't see anything when he met him for the first time, and he noticed the difference at that time.But this is also good, for him, it saves a lot of trouble.
"Don't call me master, just call me by my name."
Xu Qian is naturally good at following the good, master master, he also finds it a bit strange.
Wen Ran and Xu Qian walked out of the police station. Although it was very late, the city's trade development was very developed, and it was very lively no matter day or night, so the night market culture was also very popular. When they came out of the police station, they smelled Intense fireworks, half a street away, is the bustling night market, where you can find everything you want to eat, drink and have fun.
But there are some things that are difficult to solve in crowded places. Although before coming out, Wen Ran had already eaten takeaways for ten people, but now smelling the aroma of barbecue, he felt hungry again for no reason. He felt that if there was a big eater competition, He might win the championship.
Seeing Wen Ran looking over there, Xu Qian suggested, "Would you like to go over and have something to eat?"
Wen Ran shook his head: "No, there are too many people. If there is a fight later, it might make headlines in the news. Let's go to a place where there are fewer people."
Xu Qian's understanding of the words Wen Ran's typing was still in the category of celestial masters fighting skills, but he later realized that it really meant the literal meaning.
The two walked to the community behind the police station. There are few people here and the greenery is good. If they really want to fight, they won't attract attention.I don't know if it's Xu Qian's illusion. The street lights are bright, but the more you follow Wen Ran to the place where no one is around, the darker the surrounding environment becomes. That kind of darkness doesn't seem like a change in the sky, but a The thick ink-like black is gradually swallowing the light.
Wen Ran, who was walking in front of him, stopped suddenly, and then the landscape trees around them also seemed to be blown by the wind, making a rustling sound.
Xu Qian is fine. In this line of work, he often wanders between life and death. He is not afraid, but his whole body is on guard: "Is it coming?"
Wen Ran said: "It has never left you too far."
Xu Qian frowned slightly. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind brushed past his ears. Xu Qian turned around almost at the same time, but his speed was not as fast as the elusive ghost. Xu Qian only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, tight Then, a huge suction hit, as if the whole person suddenly became as light as a feather, and could only swing with this force, without any autonomy at all.
In the next second, Xu Qian saw the person lying on the ground, who looked exactly like himself. Before he realized what was going on, Wen Ran, who had been standing beside him, stretched out his hand suddenly, and lifted him from the cold He grabbed it in his hand and said, "Go back to me!"
As he said that, Xu Qian only felt a sudden burst of heat behind him, the kind that reached the depths of his soul, and then another burst of powerless suction. The next second, he felt his body getting heavy again. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the bed. on the ground.
Xu Qian reacted almost immediately, turned around suddenly, and saw that Wen Ran was holding a hand that didn't look like a human, but should be human. If he said it looked like a human, that hand looked like a human hand. Like a human, the hand is bloody red, and the muscle tissue can be seen clearly, as if the skin has been peeled by something.
And the owner of that hand was wearing a red dress, or a blood-stained dress. Her long hair covered her entire face. Most importantly, her feet were off the ground.
Seeing that her target was snatched away, the female ghost became furious. The soaring resentment caused the already abnormal darkness to spread again. The nearby street lights flickered a few times and then went out completely. Wen Ran rushed over.
Wen Ran grabbed the female ghost's wrist with one hand, and slammed down on the female ghost's Tianling cover with the other.
The female ghost roared, although she lost her mind, she instinctively sensed the danger, turned around and wanted to run away.
How could Wen Ran let her run away, so she immediately chased after her, grabbed the female ghost's long hair, raised her foot, hooked the female ghost, pulled her hand, and directly trampled the female ghost to the ground .
Wen Ran just felt that the female ghost gave him a different feeling, but after being pinned down by him, the female ghost desperately wanted to break free. Just hit the female ghost's head.
After all, this ghost is not a living person. After being beaten like this, the living person became dizzy and became more and more unconscious.But beating the ghost like this will only disperse the tyrannical ghost aura, and after the ghost aura that makes the ghost dizzy is dispersed, it can actually restore part of the female ghost's sanity.
Wen Ran was always very confident in the strength of his strikes, but he didn't expect that with this punch, the female ghost suppressed by him on the ground was smashed to pieces like a porcelain doll.
The shattering of the soul means that the soul is scattered, Wen Ran was stunned at this moment, he really didn't hit hard at all, he didn't even use the spell yet!Moreover, a ghost who can mark the police and almost kill him several times, how could he be so weak!
At this moment, an ethereal sound of scriptures came from far and near, and the darkness that was so thick that it could not be dispelled was also dispelled by this sound of scriptures.
Seeing them fighting helplessly, Xu Qian hurried forward: "Wen Ran! Are you alright?"
Wen Ran shook his head, but he didn't deal with the ghost's joy, and frowned slightly in doubt.
Xu Qian didn't understand these things that well. He saw the female ghost disappear in Wen Ran's hands just now, and saw Wen Ran's expression again, and said, "Did that female ghost run away?"
Wen Ran shook her head: "I didn't run away, I just lost my mind."
Xu Qian was taken aback for a moment, lost his mind?
Wen Ran blinked, then turned to look at Xu Qian: "Can you see that ghost?"
Xu Qian nodded: "I saw you fighting just now." When Wen Ran said that there was a fight, it was really a fight.
Wen Ran took a careful look at him, and clicked his tongue softly: "You were just captured by a female ghost and left your soul. The sky eye was opened, and it may be closed in a few days. It should be fine."
While speaking a few words, a young monk in a light gray robe came over.This monk has clear eyebrows, a Buddha-like face, and a pair of eyes that are filled with a sense of transparency and calm, making people unable to help but want to chant the Buddha's name after seeing him.
The monk saw that the two of them seemed to be safe, so he bowed his head slightly and said a Buddha's name: "I just passed by here, and I saw that there was a lot of resentment, and I thought it was some evil spirits here. excuse me."
Wen Ran also returned the salute: "Master, you are polite."
The young monk smiled slightly: "The poor monk's dharma name is Wan Kong."
Wen Ran said: "Master Wan Kong."
Xu Qian on the side also came forward to pay respects, Wan Kong took a look at Xu Qian, and whispered a Buddha's name again: "The soul fire of the benefactor is dim, and I am afraid that there will be many disasters recently. Since we are destined to meet today, then this fate will be over." .”
As Wan Kong said, he stretched out his hand and patted Xu Qian's body twice.
Xu Qian obviously felt that the whole body was much lighter. Because of the intensity of their work, their bodies were often heavy and their necks were sore, so it was difficult to feel the changes after being marked by ghosts. After Monk Wan Kong broke up, Xu Qian obviously felt the difference.
Xu Qian, who felt much more relaxed, quickly said, "Thank you, Master."
Wan Kong smiled: "The benefactor is very polite."
Seeing Wen Ran looking down at the place where the ghost scattered just now with a puzzled expression, Wan Kong said: "Don't worry about what happened just now, Benefactor Wen, it's just a soul puppet."
Wen Ran frowned in confusion: "Soul puppet?"
Wan Kong nodded: "The three souls and seven spirits that refine Yinhun, put them on special paraphernalia, can boost their ghost power, let new souls have the strength of old ghosts, and can ignore some restrictions on Yinhun, It is better to use it for the owner, but the objects of this kind of soul puppets are different, and most of them are Yin paper, so it should not be able to withstand the attack of the donor."
In other words, if Wen Ran had used the talisman just now, he might have been able to fight for a while, but Wen Ran just swung his fist, how could the thin paper bear it.
Wen Ran saluted Wan Kong again after hearing the words: "Thank you, master, for clarifying the confusion." No wonder he felt strange, the strength shown by this ghost was completely different from the strength he felt, no wonder he couldn't even withstand his fist. However, he can ignore the police badge and mark the police. There is no such thing as a soul puppet in his original world, and this is the first time he has encountered it.
After receiving Wen Ran's gift, Wan Kong saw that the grievances here had almost dissipated, so he didn't stay for long. After saying goodbye to the two, he quickly disappeared into the night.
Wen Ran glanced in the direction Wan Kong was leaving from, it was really rare to see him born with Buddha eyes.
After the monk left, Xu Qian almost recovered from what happened just now: "Is the matter that I was marked by the ghost, is this considered to be resolved?"
Wen Ran nodded: "It should be regarded as a temporary solution. If you can mark you once, you can mark you a second time. If you don't know who you are in the way, you may not feel at ease."
Xu Qian nodded: "Let's go back to the police station first. Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to buy something to eat. What would you like to eat?"
Compared with Master Wankong who didn't seem to be very old just now, he felt that Wen Ran was closer and easier to get along with, not to mention that Wen Ran had saved his life just now, so it was inevitable that people would feel closer, so the conversation was also more intimate. A little casually.
Wen Ran shook his head: "I'm back to school, I have class tomorrow, and I think I may have a clue about the person behind you."
Xu Qian hurriedly became serious: "Did you find anything?"
Wen Ran said: "You can see a ghost, you should have seen it just now, that female ghost who came to claim your life, died in a strange way, with no skin on her whole body."
Xu Qian also noticed it naturally: "You asked me to check, which people were skinned to death?"
Wen Ran shook his head: "I have a friend who was assassinated and disfigured by someone using a human face. Usually, the human face is peeled off when a person is alive. At that time, we wanted to call the police, but there was really no evidence, and it was a bit too weird. Now It seems that it may match your case. Have you recently received some missing cases, especially women? It is the evidence that is fatal to the person behind, otherwise he would not have killed the police, you can sort it out now, and I will ask my friend to contact you to explain the specific situation."
Wen Ran's words made Xu Qian's heart skip a beat, because he was indeed dealing with a serial disappearance case. Three women have disappeared so far, and it is also the most difficult case in his hands. The last missing woman disappeared three days ago , that is to say, if the murderer is not caught as soon as possible, there is likely to be another victim.
At first I thought it was just a newspaper case, but I didn’t expect it to be related to the supernatural. If this kind of Taoist person is behind it, it will be more troublesome for them to find it. Thinking of this, Xu Qian couldn’t help but say: "This matter, don’t tell me." I know if I can ask you for help? But in terms of remuneration, it may not be so generous."
He didn't know what the market price was for inviting a celestial master, but it might not be cheap to hire such a truly capable person.
Wen Ran said: "Okay, you can contact me if you have any progress, the remuneration doesn't matter, anyway, I don't expect to make money when I cooperate with officials like you." It's not bad if you don't lose money.
Seeing Wen Ran's helpless look, Xu Qian couldn't help but smiled, and said curiously: "I thought celestial masters like you would lose amulets when they catch ghosts."
Wen Ran frowned: "If you can do it, you will never force it. If you can fight hand-to-hand, you will never use a talisman." After all, talismans are foreign objects, and it is not good to rely too much on them. Moreover, although drawing talismans is not troublesome, it does cost money. If you can save it, you can save it. Well.
Xu Qian scrapped his younger brother's car. He didn't drive much because he was worried about accidents on the road. Forwarded a big red envelope, and fought hard to help him run out at night, it is impossible to let him go back for nothing, he must show something.
Xu Qian even began to think in his heart, how to give the application reward after this matter is over, and he will make another red envelope, although it may not be too much, but it is still a kind heart.
Wen Ran went back to the dormitory, didn't take a shower, and lay on his back directly on his bed. He had dealt with many ghosts, but very few of them were truly beaten. What's more, this one tonight might still be a victim.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Wen Ran would not take other people's faults to himself. What he could do was to find the behind-the-scenes black hand as soon as possible. This was the first time since he came to this world. There is a sense of urgency to solve something as soon as possible.
Xu Yan learned about his cooperation with Wen Ran from his brother, but Wen Ran's identity is not only a celestial master, but also a husband and wife legally recognized by his boss, which made him unable to bear it when facing the boss. Some hesitated to speak.
Although Qi Yunjing showed little emotion to the outside, it does not mean that he is a dull person, on the contrary, he is very sensitive. Seeing Xu Yan's expression from the corner of his eyes, he stopped writing the document: "What's the matter?"
Xu Yan described everything that happened in the past few days like a report: "My brother said that it may be necessary to trouble Mr. Wen for this matter, just to avoid alarming the enemy. My brother did not ask Mr. Wen for assistance. Make it public, boss, the information about Mr. Wen you investigated earlier may be wrong."
As Qi Yunjing's personal lawyer and the drafter of his fake marriage agreement, Wen Ran's materials were sorted out by him. He knew that Wen Ran was the type of person the boss disliked the most, but after several contacts Come down, the difference between the person and the information is really too big.In addition, Wen Ran saved his brother several times. He felt that if nothing else was said, at least the boss would not misunderstand Wen Ran too deeply. After all, even if it was an agreement relationship, the two would often meet at home. But maybe you will suffer some grievances.
Qi Yunjing glanced at Xu Yan without showing emotion: "Did Wen Ran agree to help?"
Xu Yan nodded, and if he didn't agree, they still had the ability to force him to fail. According to his brother, he was the one who exterminated ghosts with his bare hands, and he was beaten to death.
Qi Yunjing hummed: "He can make his own decisions on his own affairs."
Xu Yan looked at the boss strangely, why doesn't the boss seem strange at all?Is he missing something?
Seeing that he was still in the office, Qi Yunjing glanced at him again: "Is there anything else?"
Xu Yan shook his head quickly: "It's okay, boss, then I'll go out first."
After Xu Yan went out, Qi Yunjing looked at the documents for a while, but only for a while, he couldn't help taking out his personal mobile phone, turned on the screen but stopped, and after a while, it turned on and off again. screen, unlocked it, dug out Wen Ran's WeChat, and sent a message asking him to go home for dinner tonight.
Wen Ran's reply was quick, and he was playing with his mobile phone, so it was almost a second to reply.
Qi Yunjing was probably satisfied with the speed of his reply, and felt a little better for no reason, so he locked the screen and went back to work.
When Wen Ran returned to Qi's house, she found that a row of peach trees planted around the vegetable garden had produced a lot of peaches, each of which was big and sweet. The freshness and sweetness of peaches.
This peach tree was originally an old peach tree for several decades, and it was a late-maturing variety. Because it was transplanted, the fruit grower who sold their peach trees said that they might not be able to bear peaches this year, and they had to grow it. Once nourished, the fruit will be big and good.
Wen Ran drools just by smelling it. Seeing that the housekeeper had already washed a fruit plate, he couldn't help but took one. It really smelled the same as it smelled. It was fragrant and sweet, with a strong peach flavor. It is much more delicious than those water-filled peaches bought outside.
While Wen Ran was gnawing, Qi Yunjing also came back early, seeing Wen Ran who was wearing a white sweater with a tissue across his chest, sitting cross-legged on the sofa gnawing peaches, no matter how small he looked.Such a hairless look, but also to help the police solve the case, don't you know how to write the word "dangerous"?
After being stared at for a long time, Wen Ran couldn't help but took a sip of peach juice and said, "There's more if you want to eat it, why are you staring at me?"
Qi Yunjing withdrew his gaze, turned around and went upstairs.
Wen Ran glanced at his back, his face full of confusion, what's wrong with this man.
After spending the night at Qi's house, Wen Ran was about to go back to school the next day with a basket of freshly picked peaches, and met Qi Yunjing who was also going to the company at the door.The Qi family has a lot of cars, so there is a special car for Wen Ran, so there is no need to take Qi Yunjing's ride, so Wen Ran waved goodbye to him.
Qi Yunjing glanced at him, and said after a while: "Do everything according to your ability, don't try to show off."
Wen Ran let out an oh, and didn't realize until he got in the car, Qi Yunjing probably knew something from Xu Yan, so he specifically told him?Why didn't he know that this Qi Yunjing still has the attributes of a patriarch.
As soon as she returned to school, she received a message from Xu Qian. Wen Ran put Taozi in the dormitory and then went to the police station.
Xu Qian took Wen Ran back to his office, and only introduced to his colleagues that this was his friend. Although Xu Qian believed in these things, he should always avoid being a policeman. For people, it still belongs to the scope of feudal superstition, so it is not good to make a big splash.
Xu Qian handed the information of the three victims to Wen Ran: "This is the information of the previous three missing women. According to our investigation, these three women have no similarities, and their life trajectories do not overlap at all. That's all the information, I analyzed it all night yesterday, but I couldn't think of any evidence that I had already grasped and even led to my death."
Wen Ran took a closer look at the information of the three of them. They were of different ages, and their birthdays were nothing special. They were neither extremely yin nor extremely yang, and indeed they couldn't find any commonality.Sensing the meaning of his words, Wen Ran frowned slightly and said, "Before?"
Xu Qian said: "We received another report this morning. The missing person was a 23-year-old white-collar worker. He worked overtime last night and left the company after eight o'clock. It took half an hour at most to get from the company to her home. When the victim got off work I sent a message to my family, but I didn't go home until 24 or [-] o'clock in the evening, and I couldn't be contacted. They reported to the district bureau yesterday. Although the case could not be filed within [-] hours, due to the special situation, last night The District Bureau sent out the police, but just like the previous three people, there was no trace of them, and the case was only reported this morning."
Thinking of the missing victims, Xu Qian couldn't help letting out a deep breath: "As for the victims who disappeared before, we have also investigated their close relatives. The families of the three victims are very ordinary. Chen Si's family is They are in business, and the business is not big. There is a small front shop. They have been neighbors for more than ten years. They have never had any feud with anyone. Jin Lanlan and Guo Fan’s family are ordinary workers, their parents are both working, and they live in three families. In different districts, the places where the three victims happened are also different, and we are only guessing as to whether the murderer who led to the disappearance of the three people is the same person, and there is no conclusive evidence. Because there is indeed nothing in common.”
Wen Ran said: "Then what do you want me to help you see when you came to me today?"
Xu Qian said: "Yesterday I specially went to the homes of several victims, including the case that was sent this morning. I got the personal belongings of four victims. I want to ask. Under such circumstances, Can you summon their souls, or calculate their approximate location."
