I have to say that the environment of Tianshi Mansion is very good.
There are many five-color water lilies planted in the fish pond, which are still blooming in this season. The water in the pond is clear, and large groups of koi carps swim happily among the water lilies.
There is a ginkgo tree planted not far away. Judging from the trunk, it has a history of hundreds of years. Judging from the location, this ginkgo tree should be the Feng Shui tree of Tianshi Mansion.
Tianshi Mansion, a mysterious institution in the eyes of the world, is actually built in a busy city, which is somewhat incredible.
If you were passing by or approaching this place, you would probably think it was an agency like the Administration Bureau.
Lu Xiaohong came out soon, followed by two people.
I have met both of these people, one is the Celestial Master Lian Ruowei who sprained his foot in the steel factory, and the other is the Celestial Master Shi Xian who went to Mulan Mountain Villa with us to capture Qi Yue.
When Lian Ruowei saw me, obvious displeasure flashed across her face.
"Hu Ling!" Shi Xian greeted me from a distance.
"Hello Shitou!" I responded to Shi Xian with a smile.
"You've all come in, why don't you go up for a sip of tea?" Shi Xian asked me with a smile.
"You are all busy, so I won't go up and disturb you!" I replied with a smile.
"Shitou, this is the Tianshi Mansion. It's not a place where outsiders can just go in and drink tea!" Lian Ruowei's eyes flashed across my face, and she looked away in disgust.
"Ruowei, don't talk nonsense! Hu Ling is not an outsider, she is Xiao Zun's daughter!" Shi Xian smiled sarcastically at me, turned around and whispered to Lian Ruowei.#@$&
"What about Xiao Zun's daughter..." Lian Ruowei responded quickly, then realized what she was doing and shut up immediately.
I can't help but want to laugh a little, this girl is too outspoken!
Lian Ruowei looked at me in disbelief, her face turning blue and white, her eyes full of suspicion and disbelief.
"Xiaohong, is this woman really Xiao Zun's daughter?" Lian Ruowei turned to look at Lu Xiaohong.
"She is not only Xiao Zun's daughter, but also my girlfriend." Lu Xiaohong walked up to me and took my hand. He looked back at Lian Ruowei and said, "Also, Lian Tianshi, I have told you a lot.
Now, just call me Lu Tianshi or Lu Xiaohong from now on. I don’t like women other than my girlfriend to call me that.”%&(&
After saying that, Lu Xiaohong turned his face, looked at me and smiled fondly.
Lian Ruowei snorted expressionlessly and looked away, but I was made to blush by Lu Xiaohong's sudden declaration of sovereignty.
"Oh, Xiaohong, yes, you have become a boyfriend so quickly. No wonder Yang Ti begged you for Hu Ling's phone number and WeChat account but you refused to give it to him!" Shi Xian looked at me and Lu Xiaohong and laughed.
"Shitou, Tianshi Lu, why don't you go to the funeral parlor? Director Yang has been waiting early in the morning. What time is it? There's still time for romance!" Lian Ruowei pulled up the car with a stern face.
Open the door to the seat, lift your legs and sit in.
"Let's go, let's go to work first!" Shi Xian raised his hand and patted Lu Xiaohong's shoulder, sighed almost inaudibly, then looked at me and said, "Don't be angry with Ruowei, that girl has a bad temper.
There’s nothing wrong with it.”
I smiled and nodded, "I won't be angry at anyone's words."
When I was a child, I received a lot of cynicism and ridicule. How could she be like this?
Lu Xiaohong was still driving, heading towards the funeral parlor.
Lian Ruowei remained silent on the road. From time to time she secretly looked at me in the rearview mirror, and then quickly turned away when she met my gaze.
The funeral parlor is located on the outskirts of the city. The tall chimneys are emitting green smoke. As soon as the car drives into the yard, you can clearly feel the coolness. The yard is full of pines and cypresses, but it does not look green. The crown of the trees is covered with a thick layer of dust.
.
This is the unique atmosphere and environment of a funeral home.
The car stopped in front of the main building of the funeral home. Standing in front of the building was a middle-aged man in a black suit. He was slightly fat and looked to be in his forties, but his hair was already graying.
"Master Shi, Master Lu, Master Lien, you are finally here, but I am so worried. Another body disappeared last night. It will be cremated in the afternoon, and the family members may be in trouble!"
When we got out of the car, a middle-aged man came up to us and said, this person must be Director Yang of the funeral home that Lian Ruowei mentioned.
Seeing me, Director Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "What's your surname, this Celestial Master? I didn't see it last time I went to your Celestial Master's Mansion. I'm disrespectful!"
"Her surname is Hu. She came with us this time to investigate another matter!" Lu Xiaohong explained to Director Yang.
"Something else?" Director Yang looked at me doubtfully.
"Not long ago, a little girl came to your place. She fell down and ran away. I wonder if she was cremated. I was entrusted by someone to see her ashes!" I said.
"She fell off the building..." Curator Yang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then quickly raised his head and looked at me, "I have an impression of this little girl. Her family threw her here and she was cremated the same day, and then her ashes were buried there.
No one cares about it. It is still stored in Hall 3. I will have someone take you there later."
After saying that, Director Yang looked at Lu Xiaohong and Shi Xian again, and said with a pleading look on his face: "If you look at this matter of mine, you must first find a way to help me solve it!"
"Director Yang, please don't worry. Tell us when the body disappeared and whether anything unusual happened." Shi Xian said to Director Yang.
"Oh, how could I not be in a hurry! Look, there are three missing bodies in a row, and I won't be able to do anything if the superiors investigate!" Director Yang said, rubbing his hands.
Lian Ruowei quickly took out a small notebook from her body, looked at Director Yang and said impatiently: "You are just anxious to help me, hurry up and say what Shitou asked you to say, there is so much nonsense!"
"Hey, hey, I'm going to say it, I'm going to say it!" Director Yang was not angry at Lian Ruowei's attitude and responded repeatedly.
"Several corpses disappeared in the middle of the night. After the first corpse disappeared, I sent extra manpower on duty at night. I didn't expect it would still be like this!" Director Yang said with a grimace.
"Are those people asleep? Don't you have surveillance here?" Lian Ruowei asked questions like a barrage of questions while quickly writing down notes in her notebook with the pen in her hand.
"I didn't fall asleep, but they all said they didn't hear anything!"
Curator Yang said: "There is also monitoring, but there is a three-minute interruption in monitoring every night. No fault was found, and there is no problem with the line!"
As I listened to Director Yang's narration, my heart moved slightly, and I subconsciously looked at Lu Xiaohong.
"Are there the same people on duty every day? Or are there administrators who live here for a long time or something?" Lu Xiaohong quickly asked the question that was on my mind.
"Who wants to work this kind of shift every day? There are different people on duty every day. As for the administrator, there is one in the funeral home. His surname is Tong. We all call him Uncle Tong. He is almost 70 and he was hired back by an old employee!"
Long story.
Lu Xiaohong and I looked at each other, looked at Director Yang and said, "Does that uncle live in the duty room or somewhere?"
"He lives in the bungalow behind the main building. We originally planned to let him live in the duty room, but he didn't want to because he said it would be cooler to live in the bungalow." Director Yang said.
"Take us to see that uncle first!" Lu Xiaohong said to Director Yang. This chapter has been completed!
