Short story department

Throwed into the hotel room by Su Nian, Xiao Yuxin consciously packed the luggage of the two of them, and talked to his uncle about the things he needed, basically snacks and comics.Su Nian had no choice but to give him some money: "Take the room card and don't wander around. You can take care of dinner yourself. I'll be back tomorrow."

Yu Xin pouted: "Uncle, I'm only seven years old."

"You're a liar at five."

"That's for survival!"

"So I am very relieved." Su Nian stretched out his hand and pulled out the small pendant Yu Xin wore around his neck, "If there is any accident, just crush it." After finishing speaking, Su Nian turned to leave, Yu Xin rushed to hug her Holding his waist, crying: "Uncle, don't go, I can't bear you."

If it thunders but never rains, this kid will never get tired of playing.

Su Nian rubbed the little guy's head: "You wish I could leave quickly so that I can go shopping. That's fine, I'll be back soon."

Yuxin raised his chubby face: "After you finish this case, can you take me to the playground?"

"can."

"keep your word."

"Yuxin, let go." Su Nian pulled his little hand away from his body, rubbed his head again, and walked to the door.

Su Nian thought about it and felt it for a moment.I had to turn around patiently, and said to the well-behaved Yuxin, "Take it out."

"what?"

"Don't pretend to be confused, you stole my wallet just now." Su Nian walked back without scolding him, "The technique is good, but not fast enough."

The little guy lazily took out the wallet he had just stolen, and complained, "I've only been studying for a month, and you don't even teach me well."

"Have you memorized the five thunder formulas?"

Yuxin looked at his toes and remained silent.

"Can you write talismans?"

Yuxin: ...

"Yu Xin, how long are you going to be lazy?"

Yuxin finally got angry!Don't think that you have no temper at the age of seven, I'm just too lazy to care about you!

"I hate those things." Yuxin complained, "other people's seven-year-old children learn addition and subtraction, but I have to learn to draw symbols, chant spells, and steal things. Other children play with robots and remote control cars. What I play is compass and mahogany sword. I don’t want it! Please uncle, can you raise me in the normal way?”

Can ordinary ways teach you to save your life?Can it teach you to fight ghosts?You are from the Su family, you cannot escape, just like me, you cannot escape.

But in the end, Su Nian was still soft-hearted.It's just that he's clumsy and doesn't know how to comfort a seven-year-old.Looking at Yu Xin's eyes that were about to cry, Su Nian couldn't accept the wallet that was handed over.

Compared to Su Nian's clumsiness, Yuxin was more like an adult than him. He threw the wallet to him and said, "Let's go, let's go, I'll get used to it."

As a result, Su Nian couldn't bear it even more.He took an extra bill from the wallet and put it on the table: "Don't come back too late, don't just eat meat."

Xiao Yuxin secretly rolled his eyes - stupid uncle!You can't find the person in the photo for the rest of your life.

After two days of investigation, Bai Jie's subordinates found a very important clue.Bai Jie also found some news about Jinpa.

This morning, Bai Jie called his subordinates back for a meeting and told them: "There is nothing wrong with the Jinpa itself. The problem lies in the gold thread on it. The gold thread was soaked in a woman's blood. Before the woman died, resentment was attached to the thread. Originally, the ancient There are things to suppress it in the tomb, but when the ancient tomb was excavated, the town was destroyed, and Jinpa came out to make trouble. Now, we need to know what the ghost of this woman is going to do."

Subordinate A went on to say: "I have found some clues. According to your suggestion, we have investigated the situation of the missing persons more than [-] years ago, just as you expected. They all had someone they liked when they were young. Forced to marry someone else under pressure of one kind or another. The women abandoned by them either committed suicide or died a violent death."

"OK. We found the right way." Bai Jie said, "When the resentment spirit was alive, he had the same experience. Then, we..."

Before he could finish speaking, the communicator beeped.Bai Jie still wondered who contacted him at this time, and looked at the symbols displayed on the contactor, and suddenly felt all kinds of upset.

The boss's contact, no matter how upset you are, you have to answer it.

"How is it going?" The boss's lukewarm voice came from the communicator, "There should be some clues."

"Well, soon." Bai Jie replied lazily.

The boss snorted softly: "Bai Jie, I know you don't want to go out on missions, and I know you are homesick. So, I will help you."

"You help me?" Bai Jie laughed exaggeratedly, "This is the most boring joke I've ever heard."

The boss said bluntly: "I really want to help you, because I need you to continue to work for me. Bai Jie, do you understand what I mean?"

Of course I understand.But, Bai Jie didn't want to say it.

The boss never cares whether you are willing or not, no matter what means he wants, he will definitely hold it in his hands.He reminded Bai Jie, "Bai Jie, don't think that I will pamper you all the time."

Bai Jie sighed irritably, and said, "Forget it, let's stop talking nonsense. What do you want?"

"Jinpa has special energy, the carrier can go back to the past and change history. We need Jinpa." The temperature in the room dropped suddenly, "Kill everyone who has touched Jinpa, block the news, need to clear the obstacles to find Jin He Do it. That's all I want."

Anger and self-loathing made Bai Jie want to destroy the world.But he knew that it was impossible, because he still had Yu An and Xiao Yi.

Bai Jie picked up the cup and took a sip of water, raised his head and gurgled, vomited all on the ground, and said to the displeased boss: "Give Xiaoyi the best room. Don't arrange a tutor for him, because I'm his." Mentor. I'm going to take half a year off after this case is over. That's what I want."

"make a deal."

The connection had just been cut off, and he threw the communicator on the ground fiercely, cursing that the boss is a murderous executioner without blinking an eye!

Bai Jie got up angrily, and angrily ordered his subordinates: "Make a list of all the people who have come into contact with Jinpa."

The two subordinates are very close to each other.According to their estimates, not counting the missing persons, at least three people had contact with Kimpa.In other words, Bai Jie wanted to kill those three people.

Bai Jie's mood was unprecedentedly bad.He hated killing, especially killing strangers and defenseless people.But to join that organization, you have to obey orders.When he signed the contract of sale, he knew that he had no right, let alone the ability to resist the boss.

Not many people died at his hands in the past five years, but his hands were already stained with blood, and no matter how much he washed them, he couldn't wash them clean.

My fate must be miserable, I must die!

Soon, the subordinate handed over the list to him, and found out where Jinpa would appear in time.

Bai Jie thought about it, but still didn't let his subordinates follow him.The subordinate asked anxiously: "Section Chief, you have no special ability. Just in case..."

"In case I die, you two will give my son to Xiaoyi." He said.

Subordinate B hesitated to speak, and after a while, he tried to say: "Section Chief, for your son, you must come back."

It was a very touching sentence, but Bai Jie curled his lips and said with a sneer, "Do you think I am willing to die?"

Damn it, if you die, you will die in Su Nian's hands.I still owe him two lives!

Su Nian put down the bento in his hand and asked Yu Xin to come over for dinner.Reluctantly, Yu Xin stuffed the comic book under the pillow, rubbed against Su Nian, and asked curiously, "Uncle, why did you teach me to steal? I read in the comic that stealing is wrong."

"Need." Su Nian said coldly, "In our business, there are always times when it is inconvenient to take things. I don't want to hurt others, so I can only steal."

Xiao Yuxin didn't quite understand what his uncle said, he was just curious: "Who taught you to steal?"

Su Nian's eyes darkened a bit: "Your uncle."

"I still have my uncle?"

"Well, he's also my junior brother." Su Nian lowered his head, his eyes were a little distracted, "He, he knows a lot and I don't."

"Is he poor?" The more Yuxin asked, the more he wanted to know, "Why did he steal things?"

Hearing this, Su Nian smiled lightly: "He is very rich, more money than I can count. But he also has many weird hobbies, stealing things, deceiving people, pretending to be dead..."

Wow!Sounds like fun.but……

Yu Xin sat next to Su Nian and looked up at him: "Uncle, do you miss Shishu very much?"

Su Nian looked back at her little nephew suspiciously, not knowing why he said that.Yuxin stretched out his chubby little hand, and touched Su Nian's thin cheek: "You look so sad. Is the person in the photo a master? Are you just looking for him?"

Yu Xin's curiosity lifted Su Nian's long-suppressed pain, and he gave the chicken leg to Yu Xin: "I still have something to go out, you go to bed early after dinner."

Yuxin bit the chicken leg, blinked his eyes: "Uncle, I want to watch cartoons."

The child's eyes were pure and innocent, Su Nian nodded: "Don't watch it too late." Then, he called the service desk and asked them to activate the animation channel on the satellite TV channel.

Yuxin happily jumped up and down on the sofa.I forgot what I said just now, and I forgot my uncle's junior.

A child is so simple, one thing is enough to make him happy for a long time.Sometimes Su Nian couldn't bear to deprive Yuxin of those simple happiness.The kid will grow up one day and meet the murderers of his parents.It would be a fight for years.

Su Nian walked out of the hotel gate, and the client's daughter was waiting for him again.She said, "Can I really find my grandpa tonight?"

Su Nian didn't answer her question, but just saw the girl's anxious expression and continued walking forward.The girl hurriedly followed, like a little tail.

"Mr. Su, where are you going? I'll drive you."

Su Nian looked at the time.In order to get to the location as soon as possible, he didn't insist on calling a taxi, and handed the girl a note with the address: "We must arrive within 15 minutes."

"No problem, it will be fine." The girl was very happy.I don't know if it's because I can find Grandpa, or because Su Nian is willing to take her car.

Bailan Xiaolou is a cultural heritage of the city.It is said that the small building has a history of hundreds of years. After several generations of maintenance and repairs, traces of its former glory can still be seen.

There is a ticket booth at the entrance of the small building. There will be staff there during the day, and two security guards will be in charge of guarding in name only at night.Su Nian asked the girl to park near Bailan Xiaolou, and he was going to walk there.The girl stood outside the car, looking at him eagerly, with the momentum of "never leave".Su Nian hesitated, if the old gentleman is still alive, maybe his relatives can wake him up with more self-awareness.

"Come with me." Su Nian said in a deep voice.

At night, Bailan Xiaolou was immersed in darkness, except for a street lamp in front of the gate pavilion.The two security guards had already drank tea and chatted, and fell asleep at the corner of the table.

Su Nian led the girl through the gate easily. The girl was always nervous, and when she saw the security guard, she subconsciously grabbed Su Nian's arm.Su Nian didn't shake her off, and walked through the building door as if no one else was there.

Bypassing the screen wall, you can see centuries-old trees standing north and south in the spacious courtyard. The huge canopy stretches out, like two huge parasols at first glance.A small path paved with blue stones meanders in the middle of the courtyard, leading to the red lacquered door with a plaque of "Bai Lan You Xiang".

Su Nian took out the wooden tray and looked closely at the two pointers, one red and one white.The white one remained still, while the red one spun slightly. Su Nian frowned and said, "Go this way."

After walking around the outside of the Bailan small building for about ten minutes, the red pointer on the wooden plate stabilized and pointed straight at a somewhat dilapidated house.From the appearance, it should be the woodshed in the backyard.

Su Nian told the girl who had been holding on to his arm: "Don't make a sound, follow me closely. I will tell you what to do."

The girl became more and more nervous, she simply hugged Su Nian's arm, trembling.Su Nian was very uncomfortable with being so close to a girl, and pulled her hand away from her arm: "Don't hinder me."

The girl pursed her mouth, flushed with embarrassment, peeked at Su Nian reproachfully, and followed behind with small steps.However, she was still very scared, and tried her best to hold his skirt without hindering Su Nian.

Su Nian looked back, and the girl immediately showed an aggrieved expression.

In a trance, I remembered someone.He also pulled his skirt like this, and when he turned his head, the man smiled and said, "Don't be so stingy, brother."

Su Nian turned her head and threw the man's smiling face out of her mind.

Before pushing open the door of the firewood room, Su Nian took another look at the pointer on the wooden plate to confirm the situation inside and the surroundings.His wooden tray can only find some weird things, and it has no effect on ordinary people.Therefore, the wooden plate cannot point out the person hiding in the dark.

Bai Jie was very surprised. He didn't expect that there would be someone who cut off the barbarian halfway.And it was Su Nian who cut him off halfway, which made him even more worried.Ben was still thinking that Su Nian must not be allowed to touch Jinpa, but when he suddenly saw the girl holding Su Nian's lapel, Bai Jie rushed to his head with anger, and his worries just now were completely wiped out.

It's been a long time since I haven't seen you for a few years!Bai Jie complained sourly in his heart.

What's next?

Su Nian's magical power is a hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary person who has already hollowed out himself. Even if he fights, he is not sure that he can snatch the brocade handkerchief from Su Nian.Besides, that old gentleman is no longer a human being, he is incapable of dealing with two powerful enemies at the same time.

Su Nian grabbed a talisman in his pocket and said to the girl, "Stay outside until I call you."

The girl reluctantly let go, nodded, and obediently took a few steps back.Su Nian turned around and gently pushed open the firewood door.The girl could only see the darkness in the woodshed, and nothing else.Su Nian closed the door immediately after entering, and the girl realized that standing alone in the yard, wouldn't it be more terrifying?

The situation is much simpler than Su Nian thought.At least, the old man didn't turn into some kind of monster to attack him.The old man he had been looking for for a few days was sitting on a rocking chair with his eyes closed.

It seems that the old man has only one body left, but the soul inside is not nearby.Su Nian approached slowly, observed carefully, and found that the old man was holding a red brocade handkerchief.

Come to think of it, this is what's causing the trouble.

Su Nian drew a formation on the ground around the old man, and pasted a talisman on his forehead.After preparing, Su Nian tried to recall the old man's soul.However, something weird happened.The brocade handkerchief in the old man's hand instantly absorbed the formations on the ground and the mana on the talisman, just like a vacuum cleaner, it sucked it clean.

Su Nian had never encountered such a situation before, so she couldn't help feeling a little puzzled for a moment.The Jinpa didn't seem to have the intention of attacking him, but there was no sign of leaving the old man either.However, Su Nian knew that Jinpa would not let go of the old man's soul, if he sucked the old man's soul, he would suck other people's soul.So far, many people have disappeared, and they must have been sucked away by this brocade handkerchief.

But what about dead bodies?If the soul is gone, the corpse should also be left behind.Those who lost their souls, where are their bodies?
