Chapter 187. [Case 22] The City of Memory

That day, we were busy until late at night. Hu Zongren and I took Teacher Yang and checked the supermarket inside and out until we confirmed that there were no ghosts left. Except for Zhang Ma’s ghost, there were actually some left.

There are several, but we have never been able to confirm their origins. Considering that there is an old community nearby and a hospital, and we have never been able to see those ghosts with our own eyes, it is very difficult to guess their identities. But fortunately these

There is a difference between the ghosts and Zhang Ma's ghosts. Although they are in a dissociated and fuzzy state, they know that they are dead, so if they are isolated and dispersed, they will not appear to attack me and Hu earlier.

In a situation like this, Zong Ren would hide away from people, even for fear of being discovered.

So it was easier to deal with it this way. Hu Zongren and I first chanted mantras to persuade them to surrender and leave. If they surrendered, it would save a lot of trouble. But if there are individuals who are still unwilling to cooperate, Hu Zongren and I will also

You can only seize it by force, put it in the gossip bag, and wait for a week to wait until you sober up. This is like dealing with some drunk people on the street. The best way is not to give him hangover soup, but to let him recover.

Get some sleep.

It was already late at night after we were busy, and the supermarket had already closed. After collecting the money, we told Teacher Yang not to burn yellow straw paper or ghost coins in the future. Since the surrounding neighbors object to you burning in front of other people's buildings, then you can

It's okay to burn it at the entrance of your own corridor. Customs and habits still need to be preserved, but the method can't be wrong again. Only in this way can we completely solve this case.

We didn't go home for two consecutive days and didn't get enough rest. We were both exhausted. Hu Zongren was worried that I would fall asleep while driving, so he took the initiative to drive me home and then took a taxi back home. The next two days

During that time, Hu Zongren didn’t call me, and I didn’t take the initiative to contact him. Hu Zongren had some things of his own to be busy with. After all, his wedding was very close and he needed to prepare a lot of things. But I began to enjoy this rare opportunity.

laid back.

On the third or fourth day, I forgot the specifics. I only remember that it was a Sunday. Hu Zongren called me and said that a new case had come. I asked him if it was as Situ expected.

, is it in the Jiangbeicheng area? Hu Zongren said yes, but the source of this business commission was a bit strange. I asked him what the strange method was, and he said, at first, we received the commission directly from the owner of the phone from Ma Daoren.

, then Zhao Jing was born, and she became our upper-level client. Since Zhao Jing's movement was restricted, it became a text message notification again, and it was still the kind of text message number that could not be traced to the source. But this time

But it was different. This time it was a call, but the person on the other end of the phone was not the person. If I guessed correctly, it should be someone from the Xuanyuan Club.

I asked Hu Zongren, are you saying that now Xuanyuan Council has changed its contact person regarding our affairs? Hu Zongren said that he didn’t know, but the accent sounded like a local Chongqing accent. He also checked the caller number and found out that

It was indeed a Chongqing number. Hu Zongren pretended not to understand the commission and dialed the number instead. The person who answered the phone was still the same person, so this ruled out the possibility that the number was a serial number, which meant

If we want to find people from Xuanyuan Club, we only need to call this number and tell the people from Xuanyuan Club our thoughts and needs. I thought about it and found it strange.

Not to mention, Xuanyuan Society wants to find Hu Zongren, and Hu Zongren must be found by them, otherwise it will delay our twenty-four case agreement, and Hu Zongren wants to find them, although there are only a few contact numbers.

, but often no one responds to the call. In other words, every time Xuanyuan Hui issues a new commission, Hu Zongren and I need to rely on this very limited information to handle the case, and during this period we want to find more information.

, but there was absolutely no way. But this time we were able to find each other easily. This is obviously not the Xuanyuan Society's style of doing things, and I even suspected that there was something fishy about it. So I told Hu Zongren, we should be careful, since

This person's accent and phone number are local, but the Xuanyuan Society's main forum is in Chengdu, so this person is most likely the person they arranged here to keep an eye on us.

Hu Zongren said on the phone that he had actually thought about this. The appearance of this person was obviously to replace Zhao Jing. From this point of view, Zhao Jing's situation seemed to be very pessimistic. There had been no news for a long time.

I don’t know if he is still alive. When I heard Hu Zongren’s words, I was inexplicably nervous. In fact, Zhao Jing’s life and death has nothing to do with me. Although we are rivals, Zhao Jing gave me

In fact, I didn’t feel that annoying. If she really had some shortcomings, I would still feel sad for such a beauty to die. So I reminded Hu Zongren that we really need to be more careful. This person will take his place.

Zhao Jing's sudden appearance, I'm afraid it's a ploy, and she'll cause some trouble with us. It's the last few cases, so don't lose your security later.

Then I asked about Hu Zongren’s new case. His explanation of the case was no different from before. It was just a very simple explanation. The details needed to be unearthed after we arrived at the scene. However, Hu Zongren

Tell me, there is another difference in this case, because there seems to be no victim in this case. In other words, Xuanyuanhui's stall learned that someone here encountered something, and without the other party's permission

With permission, the matter was grafted onto us, which means that first of all, there is no commission for this trip, and secondly, we are also called nosy. Things that we obviously will not interfere with have become ours inexplicably.

It has to be taken care of, because this is actually not beneficial to Hu Zongren and myself in our own practice. On the contrary, it is easy to blame the cause and effect on ourselves by asking about other people's cause and effect for no reason.

But we also know that it is impossible not to do this.

After asking about Hu Zongren's situation, Hu Zongren and I agreed on a time and agreed to meet somewhere. Since Jiangbeicheng was not far from where I lived, I was asked to drive all the way to Nanping to pick up Hu Zongren.

I'm not Lei Feng. But after hanging up the phone, I thought for a long time before calling Situ. Situ and I have a good relationship and have been friends for many years. Sometimes it is easier for me to ask for help than for Hu Zongren to ask.

.I told Situ what happened this time, and by the way, I praised his clever calculation for a while. Sure enough, this case appeared in Jiangbei City. It is said that a thousand people can wear a lot of things, but they can't wear it. A few fragrant flatterers beat Situ

Be comfortable. Situ also told me that for these last few cases, we must pay more attention to the surrounding situation. This case was not entrusted by me personally, but was handed over to you by Xuanyuan Society on its own initiative.

They have no way to verify whether you can complete it, so during this period, they will definitely send people to follow you from a distance. The previous cases at least had a client, but not this time, so they can only do this.

Sure enough, ginger is still hotter when old. I had never even thought of this. When Situ said this, I really felt that I had to do this. Situ also told me not to tell Hu Zongren about this matter for the time being.

Only after you find out can you tell him that this kid has a rough temper and is reckless. It would be bad if he gets impulsive and alerts the enemy. He is a straightforward person and not as sinister as you. Although Situ criticized Hu Zongren to a bit of a bruise, but the following sentence is sinister.

But it made me very unhappy. So after thanking him, I hung up the phone. After making an appointment with Hu Zongren, I went out and went to the place where we met.

I am a very authentic Jiangbei person. I have been born and raised for more than 20 years, so I am very familiar with most places in Jiangbei. Because when I was young, the transportation was not as developed as it is now. At that time, when we said "go to the city" to play, basically

The above refers to the Jiefangbei area, which seems to be quite far away by car or cableway, so most of our activity time is concentrated in this small circle in Jiangbei. And Jiangbei City is separated from Danzishi in Nan'an District.

The river faces each other, sandwiching the most prosperous area in Chongqing. If you ask any Feng Shui master in Chongqing, he will probably tell you that Chongqing has an iron triangle matrix left over from ancient times, and this iron triangle matrix

The three corners of the triangle refer to Danzishi, Jiangbei City, and Chaotianmen respectively. On the map, the three are facing each other across the river, and these three places happen to be the most prosperous areas in Chongqing since ancient times.

Jiangbei City is also called the City of Memory by old Chongqing. It was a county in ancient times, with independent city gates and forts, and a sound commercial system. Chaotianmen is the east gate of Chongqing. After exiting the east gate, you can follow the river

And down to the seaport, it has always been a battleground for military strategists. After the opening of Chongqing as a port, Danzishi was a place where foreigners set up foreign companies and stationed troops and officers and soldiers. Therefore, these three places are the most popular in Chongqing.

A prosperous place. The memories left for me in Jiangbei City are not only the uneven tile-roofed houses, but also the winding bluestone roads with extremely steep slopes. There are no highways in the old streets because they are adjacent to the highways.

Most of the houses in the city are not old houses, and it is precisely because of those winding alleys that there is a rare peace and calmness in the hustle and bustle of the main city. However, with the development of the times, these old houses

There are fewer and fewer of them, and their scope is getting smaller and smaller. They are replaced by high-rise community houses and various parks built to improve people's living environment.

So when Hu Zongren told me about Jiangbei City, I still had those narrow roads in my mind when I was a kid. There were people washing their hair on the roadside and foamy water flowing down everywhere on the small roads. The picture was in black and white, but it was no longer the same.

A city of memory that can never be found again.
