The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.
When they returned to their hometown in Hengyin, Jiang Xueming and Xiao Qi rushed back to the Agricultural University campus without stopping.
I remember that last time my sister-in-law talked about gifts, Xueming prepared milk and fruits early this time, sealed two red envelopes, and told Xiao Qi not to look too pretentious, and to be as natural as possible.
The small villa next to the artificial lake was originally cold and damp, but in early spring it felt like a ghost.
Xueming called the door, and Brother Ye Bei's warm greeting came from the hall.
"The door is open! Just come in!"
Looking in from the porch, there is a mahjong table in the living room. The two people on the four sides and east and west are the male and female owners of the family, Ye Bei's eldest brother and his sister-in-law. The two on the north and south are Beizi's arsenal and intelligence officer, Chen Fugui.
Mr. Su Xingchen.
Xiao Qi was not familiar with these people, so Xueming introduced them one by one.
"This is Brother Su Xingchen - I went to Hongxing Mountain and he helped me a lot."
"It's about a phone call." Su Xingchen didn't care. Compared with Xueming's polite words, he was more concerned about his opponent's mahjong pile. His hands were not long enough and he couldn't catch the tiles.
Xueming: "This is my sister-in-law. You haven't seen her before. When she used to deliver food at a milk tea shop, she often helped take Bai Lu to school. She also went to parent-teacher meetings."
He saw Ye Bei raise his head to the beautiful woman at the table, smile with Xiao Qi, and then gritted his teeth and said to his superior: "Can you please stop following me? If I offer nine pieces, you can offer nine pieces? If I offer twenty thousand, you can give one."
Twenty thousand? On purpose? Looking for trouble, right?"
Xiaoqi handed over a red envelope and called out "Hello, sister-in-law" in a very sensible manner.
The sister-in-law was also rude. She opened the red envelope in front of her and stuffed it into the money box of the mahjong table. The bad mood of being squeezed by her previous family was wiped away. "Watch TV, have something to eat, and pour yourself tea."
I'm not free at the moment."
This is not said politely at all - it is very real.
Xueming pulled Xiao Qi around the mahjong table, and then said: "Brother Ye Bei and Mr. Chen, you have met them all."
Xiaoqi greeted each other: "Hello, Uncle Chen, Hello, Brother Ye."
The two noble men didn't say anything and just dealt with it casually. It seemed that there were so many relatives and friends coming to pay New Year's greetings in the past few days that they were numb.
Xueming knew it well, but Xiaoqi felt uncomfortable and told her lover in private.
"Do they... don't like me?"
Xueming told calmly: "This is what happens when you lose in a hurry."
Xiaoqi: "Are you anxious?"
Xueming pointed to the tense situation on the card table and explained——
"——The eldest brother and sister-in-law are from the same family. It looks like they are sitting on the east-west side, but in fact, winning or losing costs the same amount of money."
Then he pointed in the direction of Mr. Chen,
"My eldest brother doesn't have much money. After the year-end bonus is paid out, he will probably donate money to charity to build a school. He also has to give out red envelopes to the children in the village. During the New Year, he spent all his wife's money playing cards with his brothers. Mr. Chen seems to have lost a lot.
, but he is in the business of dead people, and it is difficult to bring gifts when he comes to the door, so he just wanted to take the opportunity of playing mahjong to lose some money to Brother Ye Bei and his sister-in-law."
Xiao Qi asked in surprise: "Is there still such a thing?"
Xueming continued: "At this table, my eldest brother has the lowest intelligence. He always wanted to give his wife cards, but when she wins, isn't she always winning her own money? So in the end, eldest brother Su Xingchen earned the most.
——Everyone else is very anxious. Brother Xingchen has a very good mind and is very good at memorizing cards and doing mental arithmetic. He caught these three patrons playing favor cards and beat them up."
Ye Bei made a face: "You haven't changed at all, kid."
The sister-in-law continued: "Watch TV and we'll talk about it later. This is a grudge game."
Su Xingchen explained sternly: "As long as you respect my height and push the opponent's cards towards me a little bit, I will show mercy."
Xueming led Xiao Qi to the tea table in the living room, and saw a girl slumped on the sofa, holding a potato chip bucket and a bottle of Coke. She was in a standard fat house suit, wearing a pair of big bear pajamas, as listless as Uncle Ge You's paralysis.
.
When Xiao Qi got closer, he asked Xueming: "Can you introduce me to this person too?"
Xueming said: "It should be Brother Ye Bei's colleague."
He thought about it, before he worked in a milk tea shop, his eldest brother often went out in the middle of the night, and occasionally he would see this sister coming to pick him up. She was probably an operator of Tianshu.
"Happy New Year..." The girl held potato chips between her fingers and waved, then said, "Xiao Jiang, have you brought your girlfriend back?"
Jiang Xueming finally remembered the name of this immortal: "Sister Wang?"
The full name of Sister Wang is Wang Lingxi, and she is a member of the special operations team of the Tianshu Spiritual Disaster Affairs Bureau. Ye Bei once talked about the methods of dealing with spiritual disasters in the secular world, such as the duties of neighborhood committees or local police.
"Hmm..." Lingxi straightened up slightly, that is, from a paralyzed state to a hemiplegia, and said something irrelevant: "A stove with a TV series, potato chips and Coke will weaken the warrior's will.
, I can’t get up for any reason. What’s your name for this person?”
Xiao Qi immediately said: "Just call me Qingqing..."
at this time--
——It’s not that Bai Zijin is deliberately pretending to be gentle and virtuous, it’s not that she is creating the persona of the girl next door.
But the spiritual pressure of everyone in this room was quite strong, almost making her breathless.
For example, Brother Ye Bei is originally a demon. According to the spiritual disasters in the underground world, he is a blood-giving monster of the same level as Aohun Mingde's immediate family members.
As for the pheromones emitted from the sister-in-law, they don't look like the characteristics of Homo sapiens. Xiao Qi seems to be a monster couple.
The Tianshu intelligence officer had a strong sense of injustice. Xueming said that this little man had no inspiration, but he had been participating in the investigation of psychic things. He was obviously not an ordinary person.
Xiao Qi had met the conductor Wood Plunk during the harvest ceremony. Chen Fugui and Conductor Wood had exactly the same appearance, similar essence, and very powerful spiritual pressure.
Xiaoqi's current transformation progress is [Cocoon] - being crowded into such a group of Morpho families, I always feel a little embarrassed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But the bad cat quickly broke the embarrassment.
I heard a rustling sound coming from the second floor, and a strange beast of the same rank as the boss walked down step by step, holding on to the railing.
It stood upright on its legs, covering its head as if it had drunk too much the day before and was hungover. It was cursing as it walked.
"Can you please keep your voice down! It's Chinese New Year and you won't let me have a good sleep!"
It walked to the toilet on the first floor and shouted loudly with the people at the card table.
"Hey! I'm hungry! Slave! Eat on the hour! On the hour!"
This big white cat has a round belly, hair on its face, and a fierce look on its face.
It saw Xueming and Xiao Qi in the side hall of the teahouse. When it finally fixed its gaze on Xiao Qi, its eyes became suspicious. Then it slowly put down its front paws, moved on all fours, and waved its paws symbolically.
Said hello.
"Meow?"
Ye Bei: "I understand, so stop pretending."
Qiongqi straightened up again, with a look of disgust on his face: "Why didn't you tell me, the head of the family, that there was a visitor at home? It's been so frustrating to me the past few days! There are so many children here! My voice is hoarse!"
Xiao Qi stared at the bad cat, his eyes widened.
Xueming reminded in a low voice: "That's a ferocious beast, not like a boss."
Xiaoqi asked expectantly: "Can I touch it? Is it OK?"
Before he finished speaking, Qiongqi showed an impatient expression. He slowly walked up to Brother Qi and stuck his head over.
"I can touch it, but I can only touch it a few times. I have to go to the toilet right away, so hurry up."
Xiao Qi immediately reached out and rubbed the cat's head and neck.
In just a few seconds, Qiongqi frowned and said with disgust: "What a stupid trick, stop masturbating, quickly find a cat cafe and learn a few tricks from the waiter, you are a shameful thing and you are worthy of touching me?"
After saying this, the noble ferocious beast walked heavily, moved a bench and stood on it, pulled the door handle of the toilet, jumped on the toilet and vomited wildly, trying to spit out all the meat and wine in his belly.
Miss Wang Lingxi on the side reminded weakly.
"Don't mind it, it just has this temper. It's been a few years and it hasn't gotten better."
Xiao Qi laughed awkwardly a few times, then remained silent.
After the ferocious beast finished vomiting the overnight food and wine in its stomach, he saw the big white cat holding a water glass and holding a toothbrush, brushing his teeth while walking towards the living room.
"Guluuluulu...you...Guruuluulu, boy, I said...Guluuluulu..."
The big white cat raised its head, spit out all the bubbles in its mouth, and finally talked to Xueming about business.
"Have you figured it out?"
Xueming: "Have you figured it out?"
Qiongqi put all the toothbrushes and water glasses on the table, and said seriously and firmly: "Yes, I told you last time, you killed your eldest brother, and then you live with me, oh no, I live with you. How about it?"
"
Xiao Qi laughed loudly: "Is this little cat celebrating the Chinese New Year for us?"
Qiongqi rolled his eyes: "Am I kidding? This guy is very suitable to be a bad guy! I just like bad brothers!~ That Ye Bei has a wicked old heart and is too kind-hearted. I don't want to deal with him. Living together is the best for me.
The ultimate torture - it has to be you, Jiang Xueming, who can get me through the sea of suffering to the other side."
Xueming: “Do you need bone-setting surgery?”
"Pretend I didn't mention this." Qiongqi's expression changed and he immediately behaved: "It's good to eat and drink well."
Before the cat sat down, it sniffed the smell in the air and immediately came to Xiao Qi's side.
"Hey, you girl has a lot of ideas, it smells good."
Xiao Qi immediately became vigilant——
——The big white cat jumped on the sofa, cupped Brother Qi's arm, and whispered instructions.
"Are you and this kid planning to get married? I smell a few good smells from you, but unfortunately there is only one. It seems that you have changed your ways. Are you interested in returning to your old career? I can guarantee that as long as you listen,
I tell you that this boy will be devoted to you. If your sister turns evil, your brother will love you more. Do you know this truth?"
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp]
Xiao Qi didn't answer, Xueming quickly picked up the ferocious beast and threw it into the cat's nest.
This ferocious beast in Brother Beizi's house catches psychics all day long and pollutes their minds. Xueming has seen it twice before when he was a pyramid scheme mentor.
When it was time to eat, his sister-in-law and the three guests at home went to work in the kitchen. Ye Bei went to Xueming alone and talked about the recent events. Most of them were local spiritual disasters in southern Hunan, and finally the conversation came to Xiao Qi.
"Do you want me to handle the wedding?" Ye Bei said to Xueming, "A brother is like a father, I can be your father."
Jiang Xueming smiled and said, "Stop making fun of me."
Ye Bei immediately said: "Then you give me the invitation when the time comes, and it will be my turn to give you two red envelopes."
Jiang Xueming: "Will Uncle Jiang come?"
Ye Bei: "I will definitely come."
Speaking of which——
——Ye Bei immediately came to Xueming’s ear and whispered.
"Which table does he sit at?"
Jiang Xueming: “Let’s take the relatives’ table.”
Although Xueming still doesn’t know whether Uncle Jiang is his biological father, it really doesn’t matter. Ever since Jiang Zhengchu talked to him about the three-guarantee repair and maintenance of the dump truck diesel engine, the two of them already had a deep understanding.
friendship.
Then I heard Su Xingchen shouting in the kitchen: "Can I sit at the relative's table? Ye Bei! I'm your father!"
Ye Bei scolded: "You sit at the children's table! You are ignorant!"
After teaching his own intelligence officer a lesson, Ye Bei started chatting about family matters again. They were all things he had already talked about, such as asking about Xiao Qi's family background, how he was living in the Nine Realms, etc.
When talking about these things, Xiao Qi felt uncomfortable all over.
Ye Bei is an upright person and has the same characteristics as Qiongqi. He can identify lies. It seems that no lie can be hidden from this big brother.
Xiao Qi used to be a criminal, and Ye Bei seemed to have guessed this.
"Xue Ming, you hate evil as much as you hate..."
As soon as he started talking, Jiang Xueming decided to take him there——
"——The boss sent her to a labor camp, and I won’t say much about what happened next. She is fine now."
Ye Bei: "Oh, that's fine."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xueming: "Brother Ye Bei, you have time to take a vacation at home and don't need my help?"
Ye Bei's face changed, from a smile to a slight embarrassment: "No, never! The old house you demolished last time has not been restored yet. The leaders of the Municipal Government's Cultural Bureau caught my boss every day to ask for an explanation. I don't dare to do it again.
What tasks have been assigned to you?"
Xueming's method of dealing with spiritual disasters is violent and can easily cause large-scale and widespread damage in downtown areas, so he is not suitable for this job.
Ye Bei changed the topic: "But Xingchen should have something that he wants to entrust you to help with."
...
...
At the dinner table, when the dishes were served and everyone sat down, when Qiongqi also moved his buttocks to the baby seat, just as Brother Ye Bei said -
——Su Xingchen talked about work with his little brother Xueming.
"My colleagues in the Tianji Department told me that your kid has become famous in the Nine Realms. Huainan recently had a fatal accident and may need your help."
When Jiang Xueming heard Xingchen's instructions, he immediately put down his bowl and took out his diary.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except that Xueming was clearing away the food just like the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves last time.
Jiang Xueming immediately asked: "Brother Xingchen, tell me what you have to say. Your criminal investigators should be better than me. I can't find any clues. Is it related to the underground world?"
"Yes, you may be asked to see the body." Su Xingchen explained: "Aohen Mingde and I have inquired about your deeds - I hope you can find out the cause of death. After all, you are very good at killing people.
"
Jiang Xueming: "You want me to do something that neither the forensic doctor nor the criminal police can handle?"
"The main reason is that the deceased has a special identity." Su Xingchen continued to explain: "The suspect has been identified. The murderer is a psychic and a new passenger departing from Jiujie Station."
Jiang Xueming immediately said: "The deceased was an armadillo hunter?"
"Yes." Su Xingchen squinted and stared at Jiang Xueming: "How did you deduce it?"
Jiang Xueming analyzed in a logical manner.
"If it was a hunter who did it, you must leave it to Qingjin."
"If it is an ordinary criminal case, but the cause of death is rather strange, if it is handed over to the Provincial Public Security Department and a more powerful forensic doctor is hired, or your Tianshu criminal investigation team specializes in psychic disasters, we should be able to find out everything.
"
"You told me that the murderer was a passenger. From my perspective, this person has passed the boss's preliminary review. All the indexes of the polarizing sextant are normal. He completed the task and got the panacea. He returned to his hometown but had a wish.
But suddenly there was a killing spree. Either the waiter failed to take care of this person, or a passenger killed the armadillo hunter. You want to hand this person over to me and send him back to the station to go through the process and make a record."
Su Xingchen: "Things were originally very simple."
Jiang Xueming: "Man or woman?"
Su Xingchen: "Woman."
Jiang Xueming: “Where is the deceased?”
Su Xingchen: "Man."
Jiang Xueming: "The age of the passenger?"
Su Xingchen: "At forty-one years old, you have to call me aunt."
Jiang Xueming: "Awakening your spirit at this age can receive a ticket invitation, and you can also go back to your hometown and kill the armadillo hunters. It doesn't sound simple."
Su Xingchen: "She doesn't admit that she killed the person, and she doesn't want to go back to the Nine Realms - she doesn't want to reveal other information, and she doesn't trust anyone."
Jiang Xueming: “What’s the age of the deceased?”
su
Jiang Xueming: "That's the story of my aunt being followed by criminals, and finally killing the hunter to eliminate the crime. I can finish it in one sentence, what else do you want me to do?"
Su Xingchen: "She was emotionally unstable and had a weird temper and was difficult to get close to. Her waiter also gave in more than once, hoping to find another employer - if you can go to the autopsy in person, find out the specific cause of death, and give it to her
I think it’s a good thing to take some time to adjust my mentality, face up to my abilities, and return to the station.”
Jiang Xueming: "I probably understand."
Su Xingchen: "That is to say, she always thought that she had committed a criminal case."
Jiang Xueming: "It was actually self-defense. Dead armadillo hunters cannot be called Homo sapiens and do not have any humanitarian protection, especially blood donation units. These monsters do not deserve human rights."
Su Xingchen: "She doesn't trust her waiter. She's also in menopause. She has a hot temper and a complicated family. You need to get in touch with her slowly."
Jiang Xueming: "This is a good opportunity to train people, leave it to me."
Su Xingchen: "Wait a minute-"
"——You say." Jiang Xueming responded immediately.
Brother Xingchen took out two documents from his briefcase, which were the location of the body and the basic personal information of the psyker.
"Take a look first and be mentally prepared. If you call her aunt, I have to call her sister - this sister is extraordinary. If you can sort things out and do her a favor, she should be a good housekeeper. Your nameless
We need a housekeeper."
Saying this, Xingchen, an experienced intelligence officer, whispered to Xueming.
"You and 9527, as well as most of the passengers in the underground world, are all homo sapiens with high attack power and weak health. No matter how magical your psychic powers are, they cannot protect your life at all times——
This sister has a very rich social resume, otherwise she would have no chance of surviving the pursuit of the armadillo hunter. Having a good housekeeper can save you a lot of trouble when traveling and doing things."
