The path is a path in the truest sense of the word.

The stone bricks on the ground show traces of time, and the dark red brick walls on both sides make this usually quiet place frightening now.

Han Chen held his breath and moved forward cautiously.

He was extremely cautious, making sure not to make any sound when he raised or lowered his feet.

It is cloudy tonight, there is no moonlight, and at the end of the dark road there is dead silence.

Han Chen's nerves were tense, and the little Taoist's instructions rang in his ears again.

"Be careful..."

He was in a trance for a moment and stopped.

Suddenly, a sense of crisis came over him. He subconsciously raised his hands to block in front of him. His whole body was knocked against the wall by gravity. Pain came from his arm. When he reacted, he could only see a black shadow running away hurriedly.

His intuition based on years of work told him that there was a big problem here.

Sure enough, the end of the path was a dead end, where Han Chen found the buried body parts.

And now, Han Chen stood in front of the stall, covering his bandaged left arm with one hand, looking at the little Taoist priest with heavy eyes.

If he hadn't reacted quickly last night, the knife would probably have cut not his arm but his heart.

As the camera moves forward, a close-up is given to the little Taoist priest. She has updated her equipment today and added a small stool.

When she noticed someone standing in front of the stall, a warm smile immediately appeared on her face. She was about to attract customers, but when she found out it was an acquaintance, her face showed even greater surprise.

"Ah! Sir, it's you!"

"Congratulations, sir, on turning misfortune into fortune. Would you like to have another fortune-telling today? I'll give you a 20% discount if you're a repeat customer!"

The little Taoist priest did not feel Han Chen's low mood, she thought Han Chen came to thank her.

After all, she had reminded Han Chen.

Unexpectedly, Han Chen's eyes were gloomy. He stared at the little Taoist priest with bloodshot eyes and questioned him.

"How did you know!"

The young Taoist priest realized that Han Chen had come with ill intentions and couldn't help but frowned.

"Aren't you here to ask me for fortune-telling?"

Han Chen sneered, squatted down, picked up the stone on the red cloth and threw it out, but his eyes were fixed on the little Taoist priest, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

"Under socialism, there is no room for feudal superstition to run rampant."

"How did you know I would pass by Kangning Road? How did you know that criminals would go there? I tell you, you'd better tell me everything you know, otherwise your behavior can be considered as harboring criminals."

Faced with Han Chen's aggressive attitude, the young Taoist priest could not hide his shock.

She never expected that she would be slandered even though she was helping others with good intentions.

Besides, how could she be associated with a criminal? !

"Sir, I don't understand what you are saying!"

Han Chen had a cold face, suppressed the anger in his heart, and approached the little Taoist priest.

"Believe it or not, I can label you a suspect right now and take you back to the police station for questioning."

Surprise and sadness flashed in the little Taoist's eyes. She lowered her head and looked at the place where the stones were scattered.

When the camera hit this point, Director Wen immediately shouted “CUT!” and then started watching the replay carefully.

The performances of these two people were done in one go, and every change in emotion and every shift in their eyes were interpreted perfectly.

Han Chen took the lead in this performance. His eyes were like a dormant volcano. He was cold and ruthless before, but when the young Taoist priest denied it again and again, he finally erupted.

This scene completely puts the conflict between the two people on the stage and opens the curtain.

"Very good, very good! Everyone get ready and continue shooting the next one."

But at this moment, Xu Yanqing raised his hand to interrupt Wen Qingye.

"Give me a few minutes to adjust."

Wen Qingye was stunned. Shouldn't a movie emperor be able to handle this kind of role easily?

Although he didn't understand, Director Wen agreed to Xu Yanqing's request.

Xu Yanqing looked at Lu Linlin and smiled helplessly.

He really didn't need to pause to adjust, but the next scene required the young Taoist to introduce himself and give confident information about the body parts. However, Lu Linlin was scolding Han Chen in her heart and had no intention of helping him at all.

[Damn it! This damn man, I helped him, and he actually accused me of shielding a criminal?! ]

[What kind of rubbish man is this? I shouldn't have reminded him. I should have let him die last night! ]

【Ahhhhhhhhhh, this man is so mean to me, I really want to beat him up!!!】

Xu Yanqing smiled as he looked at Lu Linlin who was still sitting on the stool and asked softly, "Linlin?"

Lu Linlin rolled her eyes impatiently; "What?!"

Xu Yanqing laughed.

Lu Linlin realized belatedly that she had come out of the play. She looked at Xu Yanqing, who was smiling gently, and her face gradually turned red.

[Ahhh, my attitude towards Brother Xu just now was really inappropriate. Brother Xu helped me analyze the script and brought me into the role. How could I do this?]

[Lu Linlin, you should die as a token of your guilt.]

Xu Yanqing looked at Lu Linlin, raised his hand to rub her head, and comforted her softly.

"Although I won't be so angry about Han Chen's accusation, I still want to praise you. You were really great just now!"

Seeing the joy in Lu Linlin's eyes, Xu Yanqing continued.

"The little Taoist priest has lived in the mountains for a long time and has a simple mind. Her first reaction to other people's accusations is to explain, so she will fall into the trap of self-proof and give Han Chen a second free divination."

Lu Linlin nodded in sudden realization.

"Ohhh! No wonder, this feeling is right."

Seeing Lu Linlin's confident look, Xu Yanqing looked at Director Wen and said, "Director Wen, go ahead."

The camera was set up. Wen Qingye saw the panoramic view and multi-angle close-ups of the two people through the lens and began to clap.

"I am the seventh generation disciple of Jianglong Mountain, Taoist Master Hengyi, and I have been practicing for twenty-two years. You say that I have any connection with criminals, that is simply nonsense."

The young Taoist priest's face turned cold and he straightened his back while speaking.

She glanced at the places where the stones were scattered on the red cloth, raised her hands, made hand gestures, and muttered something.

"Eight-sided formation, Kan is filled with six waters in the north, facing due north."

Feeling the change in Han Chen's gaze, the little Taoist curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of confidence.

"Sir, the thing you are looking for is due north of where the accident happened last night, near the water source."

Han Chen was shocked and confused.

What he wanted to find most at this moment was undoubtedly the remaining body parts.

It took him only half a minute for the young Taoist priest to tell him the location, which made him feel unbelievable.

Seeing Han Chen's hesitation, the young Taoist spoke sincerely.

"If I were you, sir, I would go and look for it at once."

"I have something to tell you, if you delay, something bad will happen."

Han Chen had a frozen face and fell into deep thought.

There was no doubt that their large-scale search and visits had alarmed the murderer, otherwise he would not have run into the murderer last night and even nearly lost his life.

Indeed, there is a high probability that the murderer will destroy the body before they find the rest of the body parts.

Han Chen hesitated for a while, looked down at the form and stone written on the red cloth, and finally made up his mind.

He took the others to take a look first, and left Zhao Yi behind to keep an eye on the young Taoist priest.

As soon as Han Chen stood up, the young Taoist priest spoke.

"Sir, next time you come, you will have to pay double the fee."
