Chapter 1183 Murder
While female reporter Cissy was "trying to save herself", Yuan Xiaomin took her new good sister Yu Huiqi to the company she signed with.
Like Cissy, Yuan Xiaomin's boyfriend Liu Weisheng is also her boss, and Yuan Xiaomin is a female artist under her boyfriend's company.
The reason why she brought Yu Huiqi to the company was because the latter was worried about where to find a part-time job. Yuan Xiaomin liked Yu Huiqi very much, so she naturally recommended her to her boyfriend's company as a model.
The two sides hit it off.
Like Cissy, the company employees here are very enthusiastic about Yuan Xiaomin, and they are also very good to Yu Huiqi.
However, everyone who sees Yuan Xiaomin and Yu Huiqi will say: "Sister Xiaomin, Xiaoqi looks like you."
Some people even asked if Yu Huiqi is Yuan Xiaomin's sister.
Because of Yuan Xiaomin's relationship, Yu Huiqi successfully found a job here, but when signing the contract, Yu Huiqi used the excuse that she was underage and asked Yuan Xiaomin to sign on her behalf.
Later, at Yu Huiqi's suggestion, Yuan Xiaomin took her back to her parents' home.
This family was a very kind and ordinary family, and they were very enthusiastic about Yu Huiqi.
"Oh, if I hadn't been sure that I had only given birth to one child, even I would have doubted whether you and Xiaomin were sisters." Yuan's mother kindly took Yu Huiqi's hand and smiled, "Xiaoqi, treat this place as your own home in the future and come often."
"I will." Yu Huiqi smiled shyly and lowered her head. No one noticed the strangeness that flashed in her eyes.
"Are Xiaoqi and I really that similar?" Yuan Xiaomin looked at Yu Huiqi and asked in confusion, "We are completely different, okay? I have short hair, she has long hair, I am mature, she is cute, from looks to style, how are we similar?"
"Alike, how can we not be similar?" Yuan's father said with a smile, "Just now your grandmother mistook Xiaoqi for you. Xiaomin, bring Xiaoqi home often in the future. I don't know why, but I also feel very kind when I see this child, as if I see another you."
"Oh, if you keep doing this, I will be jealous!" Yuan Xiaomin smiled and stamped her feet, pretending to be angry.
I don't know what Yu Huiqi said to Yuan Xiaomin, who suddenly laughed and started to play intimately with Yu Huiqi.
After the two had dinner at Yuan's house, they did not return until dark. On this day, they fully interpreted what "inseparable" means.
Coincidentally, when they were talking and laughing while waiting for the elevator, Su Yi, who had been running around all day, also walked in from the door with a box.
Su Yi was obviously stunned when he saw the two people.
It was not that he was surprised, but he recognized the wrong person.
When he saw Yu Huiqi for the first time, he actually mistook her for Yuan Xiaomin.
It is normal for ordinary people to recognize the wrong person, but it is a bit incredible for Su Yi.
Whether it is martial arts or magic practice, Su Yi has developed the ability of sharp eyes. For people he has seen, he doesn't even need to look with his eyes, just listen to the footsteps, or rely on direct induction, he can usually tell who is approaching him.
So how could he recognize the wrong person?
He took a deep look at Yu Huiqi, turned around and walked out of the unit door again, as if he was keeping a distance from the two people.
Yuan Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became angry and pointed in the direction of the unit door and said, "I really don't understand, where did I offend him? Does he hate me so much? He avoids me when he sees me?"
"If he ignores you, you ignore him too." Yu Huiqi said with a smile, "Anyway, we are just neighbors, and it's not certain whether he will live here forever."
"Yes, why should I be angry for an insignificant stranger?" Yuan Xiaomin sneered and comforted herself, "Humph, this kind of man with no manners and no manners, he really deserves to rent a house in his thirties!"
Yu Huiqi took her arm and comforted her with gentle words, until the two of them entered the elevator and disappeared on the first floor, Su Yi came in again, looking thoughtfully in the direction of the elevator.
He felt a little cold in his heart, because he had seen the way this female ghost found a substitute.
When he saw them yesterday, people were people and ghosts were ghosts.
When they saw them again this morning, people had ghost spirits and ghosts had human spirits.
By tonight, it was hard to tell people from ghosts.
What about tomorrow?
What about the day after tomorrow?
At that time, people will become ghosts, and ghosts will become people. Everyone in the world will think that the female ghost is Yuan Xiaomin, and the real Yuan Xiaomin will become a lonely ghost.
The worst thing is that even the female ghost's karma will be transferred to Yuan Xiaomin, because she is a substitute, and she will replace everything of the female ghost.
This kind of "I am still me, but everyone in the world thinks I am not me" is actually very scary when you think about it carefully.
This kind of substitute magic of ghost cultivators is really insidious and vicious.
Su Yi took the second elevator upstairs. After returning home, he opened the box and took out all the results of his harvest today.
Cinnabar, yellow paper, wolf hair...
Although these tools and materials for drawing talismans are relatively common, it took Su Yi a lot of effort. He ran around and searched many places before finding the best ones.
It is really hard to find a compass with precise scales and Yinshan peach wood. Su Yi bought the former from a pawnshop. This compass is quite old and well preserved. It is made of pure copper. Su Yi is sure that this thing was made by a Taoist who is good at Feng Shui, but it is not a magic tool, but just an ordinary object. It is OK to use it to divide gold, locate the location of the tomb, and chase evil ghosts, but if you want to use it to set up a formation to catch ghosts, it is purely a luxury.
As for Yinshan peach wood, Su Yi found a century-old peach tree next to an ancient well in a mountain village in Tai O.
This mountain village is located in the north of the mountain, which belongs to Yin, so this peach tree is undoubtedly Shanyin peach wood.
And the ancient well is also Yin, Shanyin ancient well, Yin on Yin.
In such a Yin place, the old peach tree that has grown for a hundred years actually has some spirituality. Even if it is not blessed with any talismans, it will have a great restraining effect on ghosts. This is a very rare spiritual wood.
Therefore, Su Yi deliberately broke off a few more branches and prepared to make a few more peach wood swords to be prepared.
However, this is not a real magic weapon after all. It is okay to deal with ordinary sneaks, but it is still slightly lacking in dealing with evil spirits or other powerful ghosts.
So Su Yi actually spent a lot of energy today on finding a real magic weapon.
This is of course not easy to find, and it is almost impossible to get it by conventional means. Therefore, Su Yi inevitably became a gentleman on the beam, going in and out of various Taoist temples and some wealthy homes with exquisite mansions.
The formation of magic weapons is rare. There is a special method of offering sacrifices to magic weapons in Maoshan Fa, but the fastest magic weapon takes 9981 days to form. Su Yi has no time to offer sacrifices to a magic weapon of his own.
The most commonly used and most widely used method of offering sacrifices to magic weapons is to use blood as a guide and worship with incense. The more blood the magic weapon absorbs and the more incense it enjoys, the greater its power.
Therefore, Su Yi mainly went to Taoist temples that worshipped various gods to find magic tools. Such places received a lot of incense and it was easy to refine magic tools.
In fact, there must be magic tools in temples, but it was too inappropriate for Su Yi, a Xuanmen monk, to use Buddhist magic tools. Moreover, his heart was not sincere in worshiping Buddha, and he could not exert the power of Buddhist magic tools.
As for why he went to the mansions with good Feng Shui layout to look for them, the reason was also very simple.
Any wealthy family who believed in Feng Shui would probably spend a lot of money to ask for magic tools to protect their homes. Although most of them would be deceived and ask for useless things to go home, there were also some who really picked up treasures.
The magic tool that Su Yi found was really found in a mansion in Taiping Mountain.
This is a golden bell with runes engraved on it to suppress demons and exorcise evil spirits. It looks like something from the lineage of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain.
As for how Su Yi found this thing, it is also very particular.
Of course, Su Yi would not be so stupid as to search any Taoist temple or mansion with a Feng Shui Bureau. He would not be able to finish the search in ten days, let alone one day.
Su Yi's method was very simple. He caught a black shadow ghost, sealed it in a talisman, and then took it to various Taoist temples and mansions.
As long as he could enter and exit easily and the ghost had no reaction, or the reaction was not big, Su Yi turned around and left without hesitation.
What good things can there be in a place where even the black shadow ghost can't be defended?
Or in a place where even the black shadow ghost is not afraid, even if there are magic tools, they are probably not good things.
Relying on this method, Su Yi is actually very efficient, and he really locked the target quickly.
When he approached the mansion with the golden bell, the black shadow ghost immediately sent out very fearful emotional fluctuations.
And Su Yi clearly heard the clear sound of a bell coming from somewhere in the mansion.
This bell has its own magic power fluctuations, and when it rings, it can deter and harm evil things.
This is a real soul-sweeping bell, and it is a soul-sweeping bell with the function of suppressing evil and exorcism.
Therefore, whenever there is an evil thing approaching this mansion, this soul-sweeping bell will automatically sound an alarm and drive away the sneaky ghosts.
The effect of this thing immediately made Su Yi jealous, and he decided to borrow it first.
Using this black shadow ghost, Su Yi quickly locked the location of the soul-sweeping golden bell - it was hung in the tile niche in the middle of the top of his villa.
Perhaps because of the lunch break, the sound of the golden bell just now did not alarm anyone in this mansion.
Su Yi sneaked in and took away the golden bell, and blessed two anti-ghost talismans on the spot as a temporary replacement.
He only borrowed this magic weapon temporarily, and before he left this world, he would remember to return it to the original owner.
Of course, no matter how you look at it, it is considered stealing and is unjust.
With this soul-sweeping golden bell, Su Yi's confidence in himself increased greatly.
That night, Su Yi drew talismans until the middle of the night, and set up an incense table at home to offer sacrifices to the six newly made peach wood swords.
Sharpening the sword before the battle, even if it is not fast, it will be bright.
Although it was a bit hasty and the effect was limited, it was at least better than doing nothing.
In order to enhance the effect of the peach wood swords, he also carved a demon-suppressing talisman on each sword, which was considered an enchantment.
There was no conversation that night, and Su Yi's second day and night in Hong Kong Island passed so uneventfully.
On the third day, before dawn, Su Yi received a call from Miao Xiaowei.
"Mr. Huang, there is a new case. Are you interested in taking a look?" Miao Xiaowei asked in a slightly tired voice on the phone, "Last night, a murder occurred in a community in Jordan. I was temporarily assigned to take charge of this case. Mr. Ma asked me to ask you, if you are interested, you can join this case as a consultant."
"Okay."
Su Yi knew very well that this was a kind of comfort. He, a Taiwanese policeman who came to exchange and learn, was put into the cold palace as soon as he arrived. Even if there was a reason, the Hong Kong side really couldn't justify it.
It just so happened that another murder occurred, so they simply took him with them, which was considered to have completed Zheng Zhi's task of "exchange".
The reason why Su Yi did not refuse was because he also needed to show off his skills to let his colleagues in Hong Kong know how much he was, so as to put away his contempt and neglect.
Su Yi immediately put on a suit and washed up. Before going out, he hesitated slightly and took the newly acquired soul-stirring golden bell with him and put it in his coat pocket.
When he got downstairs, Miao Xiaowei had already parked his car at the door and was waiting for him.
"Good morning, Mr. Huang." Miao Xiaowei smiled and waved to Su Yi, raising the cup in his hand, "I brought you coffee."
He yawned as he spoke.
Su Yi took the coffee and thanked him. Seeing that he looked very bad and his eyes were bloodshot, he asked, "Didn't you sleep last night?"
Miao Xiaowei shook his head and complained as he got into the car, "Where did I have time to sleep? I stayed up all night again! I've had enough. For this unique case, I haven't had a normal rest for a month."
"No progress yet?" Su Yi asked casually.
"I guess so." Miao Xiaowei answered while starting the car, "Mr. Lin got a tip that the buyer and the exclusive dealer will trade in a 24-hour western restaurant in the near future. We..."
Miao Xiaowei suddenly became alert halfway through his words, laughed and changed the subject: "Hey, why am I talking about these useless things, let's get back to our case. This case was reported by the community police department below. I heard that a few young people took drugs and somehow caused a death. The guy who received the call found that this matter was not simple after arriving at the scene, so he reported it to the police station. Now, isn't it our turn to take action?"
Su Yi nodded, took a sip of coffee and stopped talking. He turned his head and looked out the window, admiring the night view of Hong Kong Island in the early morning.
The car drove into an old community and stopped in front of an old residential building.
The two saw the cordon in front of the unit door from a distance, and some reporters were guarding outside with long guns and short guns, blocked outside by several police officers.
"Damn, these paparazzi are really dog noses!" Miao Xiaowei cursed and pulled the car over.
The two got out of the car and walked over there.
Su Yi saw an acquaintance from a distance, the female reporter Cissy whom he had just met yesterday, and thought that this world is really small.
The two arrived at the cordon and were about to go in with two documents. At this time, Su Yi suddenly heard a crisp sound of a bell in his pocket.
Su Yi was startled and his face changed slightly.
"Hey, Mr. Huang, why did you install a bell?" Miao Xiaowei turned back curiously.
