Chapter 46：

When Tang Xi returned to the funeral hall, the door was already open, and Cheng Huaying and Chu Li were worried about the corpse lying on the floor.

Some of these corpses are elderly people who have recently died. Because of various reasons, it is not convenient to stop the spirits at home, so they are stored in the funeral home and waited for cremation. Two of them died accidentally. They could not find their family members for the time being or their family members have not arrived yet. The police even stored the body of a homeless man who lost his life many years ago, but the specific identity has not been found. It was okay when I was in the freezer, but once the corpses of these years have left the freezer for too long... plus there is another one that was killed and crushed by a car. Originally it was the mortuary who finally sewed the mutilated corpse. , Now one of his right hands has fallen off.

When the staff of the funeral home went to work early tomorrow morning, what was their reaction when they saw the mess in this place, let alone for now, can't let the corpse just lie on the ground?

"I will never help you move, Comrade Police!" Cheng Huaying stepped back a few steps with a firm expression.

"I'm an injured patient!" Chu Li was justified and confident.

The blood on his back had faintly seeped out of the jacket, apparently the wound was cracked.

"Then tell your subordinates to come in." Cheng Huaying refused to give up.

"Don't make trouble, people's legs are soft." Tang Xi walked over.

Chu Li looked at her, opened his mouth and said nothing.

"Promise me two things. I'll help you get these corpses back." Tang Xi raised his right hand and put **** up, and said plainly.

"Say!" Chu Li's eyes lit up.

"First, go to the hospital. At least five days." Tang Xi bends a finger blankly.

"..." Chu Li twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Hahahaha..." Cheng Huaying laughed loudly, "You temper, I finally saw someone who can cure you. It's very good, very good!"

"Okay, what about the second?" Chu Li rolled his eyes, unreliable.

"You'll know in a few days." Tang Xi said, "The Chu team is a people's policeman. You can't speak without counting, huh?"

"Certainly, your old man should do it now, he is panicked!" Chu Li was helpless.

"Yunqi." Tang Xi snapped his fingers.

So, with the sound of the faint flute, the corpses that had already lost power again climbed up conscientiously, lined up, and walked to the morgue. The man in the car accident even picked up the fallen left arm and wanted to put it back. , Tried several times and couldn't fix it, so I had to hold it in my hand.

The three living people followed, watching the corpses walking back obediently, comparing the photos posted on the freezer, finding their own, crawling in and lying down.

"Bah!" Yun Qi waved his sleeves for the last time, his grievances formed coercion, and all the refrigerators were pushed back to their original positions in an instant.

"Finish, remember your promise." Tang Xi turned around, "Do you go to the hospital by yourself or should I call 120 for you?"

"I'll go by myself." Chu Lihei Xian.

"Good." Tang Xi showed a smile, walked up to him, stood on tiptoe, reached out to touch the top of his hair, and muttered, "Why do you grow so tall?"

"I'm not your cat!" Chu Li's face turned black.

"Cat?" Cheng Huaying was puzzled.

"The stray cat I saved, a Jingila, was hurt by someone before, and was timid." Tang Xi shrugged and said indifferently, "If a stranger comes to the house, it won't come out. Sometimes it hides. I can't even find it."

"Really?" Cheng Huaying frowned slightly.

He hadn't felt other living creatures in Tang Xi's house before, and even a cat would be angry. Is it because her anger is too weak, and her house is covered by too many ghosts and too heavy aura? After all, he didn't stay for a long time, it's hard to say.

"Mr. Cheng likes cats?" Tang Xi's reaction to him was a little strange.

"That's right." Cheng Huaying smiled and wrote lightly, "When I was in college, I liked to feed the wild cats. I shouted, gangs and gangs can come in a large group."

When the three returned to the farewell hall, Xiao Liu saw them as if they had seen their relatives, tears filled his eyes.

Cheng Huaying processed the memory of Manager Qiu and asked: "Xiao Chu, you team member, do you need me to help him forget it?"

"No, no, remember!" Xiao Liu said quickly.

"Do you still remember if you're afraid of this? It's easier to forget." Tang Xi suggested.

Xiao Liu gritted his teeth and said, "I, I am also a policeman! If you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, at least, you will have resistance!"

"The young man is good." Cheng Huaying patted him on the shoulder appreciatively.

On the other side, Chu Li was really helpless: "You said that I have lived twenty-eight years in this life, and I haven't encountered any supernatural events. How come I have lived in two days since I met you?"

"Don't worry, you will meet more in the future." Tang Xi's eyes were filled with pity.

She can be sure that there is a powerful and difficult organization behind that "A Qiang", and since Chu Li has already intersected with this circle, it will not be so easy to get out of it. Either you die or I live.

Chu Li also understood what he meant, scratching his hair, grumpy.

He can organize undercover agents abroad for a few years, destroy the nest in one fell swoop, and can also subdue vicious criminals with his bare hands. But what should he do when his opponent is not a human being? Guns... Are ghosts afraid of bullets?

"Take it." Tang Xi sighed, took the clavicle chain of the shell on his neck and gave it to him, saying earnestly, "Team Chu, life matters, what's to dislike. Anyway, shells work, if you really dislike women." I'm angry, just knock all the diamonds next to me, just don't hurt the shells."

"Knock it?" Chu Li horrified, "Hundreds of thousands!"

"The amulet I made by myself, which can even be used by ordinary people, is not a one-off, let alone hundreds of thousands, if there are millions of people rushing to it!" Tang Xi said angrily.

"..." Chu Li took the necklace, compared it, wrapped it around his left wrist twice, and covered it with his sleeve.

"I'll take you back." Cheng Huaying took a step forward.

"Ah, by the way, I forgot Cheng Yihang." Tang Xi suddenly realized, and hurriedly sent a message, "I asked him to go upstairs and wait for me."

"That kid has your house key?" Cheng Huaying was startled.

"Someone opened the door for him." Tang Xi looked up, looking at him as if he was looking at an idiot.

Okay, there's a ghost.

Cheng Huaying shook her head, walked to her car, and said: "Xiao Chu, I will give you my ticket, anyway, to rescue the people's police."

"Goodbye~ Go to the hospital by yourself, I will spot check." Tang Xi happily jumped into the car.

On the way back, Cheng Huaying didn't drag racing anymore, and took a lot of leisure.

"That's right." Tang Xi suddenly remembered something that had been pressing in the bottom of his heart, and asked, "Mr. Cheng is also very knowledgeable. After pulling it out, put it in a puppet?"

"Puppet?" Cheng Huaying frowned, thought for a while, her face became serious, "What kind of puppet?"

"At my house." Tang Xi said immediately, seeing his expression.

"I'll tell you after I've seen it." Cheng Huaying said, quietly speeding up, stepping on the bottom line of speeding, overtaking a few private cars, and returning to Fengya Jiangnan.

Go upstairs and swipe your card to open the door, and then you see Cheng Yihang sitting cross-legged in the living room on a booth dedicated to Yueyue to accompany the little girl with Lego.

Of course, Cheng Yihang, who didn't open his eyes, was actually playing against the air.

"When I was a child, I could scream in a small black house, but now I am fat?" Cheng Huaying cursed with a smile.

"Get used to it." Cheng Yihang shrugged, got up and sat down on the sofa, "So, why did you two throw me here suddenly?"

"Go to see the righteous and brave for it." Cheng Huaying replied casually.

Cheng Yihang rolled his eyes.

"Mr. Cheng sit down for a while." Tang Xi hung the bag and coat on the coat rack, entered the bedroom, and quickly took out two things.

A puppet is the one that pretends to be the soul of Pei Qing Zhisheng.

Two seals were lifted off the door of the haunted house.

Cheng Huaying first picked up the puppet and fumbled it carefully before exhaling after a long time: "This is a doom puppet."

"Doom doll?" Tang Xi repeated suspiciously.

"It's inevitable that you don't know." Cheng Huaying put the puppet back on the coffee table, her expression a little jealous, "This is the inheritance of a branch of the Miao people in southern Xinjiang. When I was young, I went to southern Xinjiang to investigate and lost in the mountains. I found the ethnic group hidden in the mountain. They only have more than a hundred people, and the number is still decreasing year by year. It is very likely that they will cease to exist in a hundred years. Doom Doll, I am there Something found during the night."

"Listening to the name doesn't seem like a good thing." Tang Xi frowned.

"You are a celestial master, and you should also understand that the innocent is to disperse the sinless soul to be contaminated with cause and effect. In the end, the way of heaven will settle with you." Cheng Huaying said solemnly.

"Not bad." Tang Xi nodded.

"The role of the Doom Puppet, as the name suggests, can make the person carrying it suffer from bad luck. It's a bit like...unlucky ghost." Cheng Huaying pondered for a moment. The sacrificed soul is now empty. Have you taken out the soul inside?"

"Yes." Tang Xi nodded, "I think he is noisy, so I caught him out and stuffed it into Hello Kitty."

"..." The expression on Cheng Huaying's face was a little unspeakable.

"However, after I finally returned the soul to his body, part of his memory was missing. Is it because of the doom puppet?" Tang Xi asked.

"You actually sent the soul back?" Cheng Huaying was dumbfounded.

"Are there any...problems?" Tang Xi blinked her eyes, expressing her incomprehension.

"Maybe I have to re-evaluate your ability." Cheng Huaying helped her glasses and explained, "The doom puppet will erode the soul, so it is called sacrifice. And the sacrificed soul will not attract the attention of God, this is it. It’s amazing. That kind of incomplete soul is sent back to the body, it’s just a lack of memory without being mad or stupid. It’s really incredible."

"He is lucky and has merit to protect the body." Tang Xi spread his hands.

If you change someone, you really may not have the good luck of Pei Qingzhi.

"Second Uncle, what kind of clan you are talking about, what is this kind of thing made for? Is it to harm people?" Cheng Yihang asked.

"Of course not." Cheng Huaying shook her head. "People who are entangled to death by doom dolls will have their souls sucked into the dolls and will not be freed. Just like cultivating gu poisons, the most poisonous centipedes, scorpions, spiders, snakes, and toads Put them in a clay pot, bury them underground, let them kill each other, and the last one left is the Gu King. The Doom Doll keeps inhaling souls, letting them fight each other and swallow them, leaving the most powerful one— "

"Raise Gu. I understand!" Tang Xi stood up suddenly, a bright flame shining in his eyes.

Cheng Huaying reminded her, inadvertently removed the fog in front of her, and let her connect the series of events that had happened.

The closed haunted house has nurtured Yueyue with the grievances of countless ghosts.

A Qiang, who wants to resurrect his lover, tries to grow Anna's soul again and again.

The fish pond burned with ashes becomes his own strength with aspiration.

Including this doom puppet who died without starting work, the purpose is the same. The people behind the scenes want to raise a powerful thing that doesn't know what it is.

"Where did you get this thing?" Cheng Huaying asked.

"I don't know, but I will check it." Tang Xi said.

She had tried before, and Yang Wenqiu, who arranged her room for a puppet appeared in her drawer, obviously did not know, and one of the remaining people must have something to do with the person behind the scenes.

The doom puppets of the Miao people in the deep mountains, this kind of thing is not easy to get. Compared to the three Tang Jing brothers and sisters, she is more inclined to Tang Zhenying.

Just, why is she? She does not remember a puppet mentioned in the original book.

Cheng Huaying picked up two more seals, turned it over and saw the spell drawn on them, a flash of shock also flashed in his eyes.

"Although I haven't seen this spell before, I can guess its usefulness." Tang Xi said, "I'm just curious. There aren't many people who can draw this spell, right?"

"This rune is mixed with this part of the Western magic circle drawing rules. It is more like a combination of Chinese and Western elements. It will not exist in any formation. It should be a self-made spell." Cheng Huaying's face is not very good. After a pause, I was reluctant to say, "At least I am far from reaching this level. In my impression, there are only a few hidden seniors... Nor is it right. Those old people who study Chinese culture all their lives hate the West most. Things, it’s impossible to create this kind of thing. People who don’t know much about the Western Magic Array will not be able to integrate it with the Xuanmen Talisman."

"In this way, this is not necessarily only from our side, is it possible that it is a foreigner who has learned the profound arts of our country?" Cheng Yihang interjected.

"I'm a Chinese, old man." Tang Xi remembered the words of the old ghost of the Republic of China in the murder house.

Cheng Huaying took out the phone and took a photo of the rune on the seal: "I will help you pay attention to this matter, and there will be news to notify you."

"They may not be a person, but an organization, don't act rashly." Tang Xi reminded.

Cheng Huaying was startled slightly, then nodded: "Don't worry, I will contact the special department."

When Tang Xi heard this, he didn't say much. Cheng Huaying has gone through ups and downs, and he only needs to know the dangers of some things, and she doesn't need to remind her what to do.

"Wake up, let's go first." Cheng Huaying hesitated for a moment before saying, "What I said before, please consider carefully."

"I know, anyway, there is still a long, long time to consider." Tang Xi smiled.

Cheng Huaying took a deep look at her, and went out with his still confused nephew.

Tang Xi took them to the door, closed the door, and hit a ball of furry warmth near her feet.

"Meow." The white cat arched her ankle.

"You're a supernatural being." Tang Xi picked up the cat and rubbed it in her arms, touching its head to slander, "What use is it for me to raise you? You are the one from the family, and you are the fastest to hide!"

"Meow~" The white cat touched her affectionately, as if saying, I am a cat or a dog, and I am not responsible for guarding the door. Isn't it enough to be cute and cute?

Tang Xi sighed, took two small dried fish and fed it, then put it down and went to play by herself.

Yun Qi appeared, passing through the closed door and glass door silently.

Tang Xi followed him to the huge terrace.

From here, you can overlook most of Jiangnan City, where thousands of houses are brightly lit, and the stars and moons on the horizon are almost dim and irrelevant.

Yun Qi was sitting on the swing stand, his flute sounded long, and his expression focused. It's a pity that the background is too modern and out of place.

Tang Xi simply sat on the swing chair, swayed slightly, and looked up at him.

"That woman..." Yun Qi finally said.

"No need." Tang Xi interrupted him.

"Don't you want to ask me why I made a mistake?" Yun Qi was startled.

"You made a mistake. It's not a problem that you didn't catch people." Tang Xi said indifferently, "I just want to know, if there is another next time, would you stand there and hurt yourself?"

"I..." Yun Qi was speechless.

After a long while, there was silence on the terrace.

Suddenly, Yun Qi's figure turned into a streamer and returned to the Soul Cultivation Pearl.

Tang Xi made the swing higher and made the swing higher. He touched the skewer with one hand and sneered: "Do you think I can't guess if you don't say it? This kind of stupid reaction is not related to me or to yourself. The cause of death is related."

Touching her chin, she continued to think.

Yun Qi is a thousand-year-old ghost, and she feels more related to herself than she spans time and space.

However, in such a short time, it was too late to even say a word. All you can see is the face.

Who is that woman like? No, maybe it's not just like, who's face is there?

After a long time, Tang Xi pursed her lips, jumped off the swing, returned to the room and took her pajamas, planning to take a good bath.

So close to the corpse, Ge Ying!

Met in the classroom the next day, Cheng Yihang said nothing in a tacit understanding.

On the contrary, WeChat received a strange number requesting to add a friend. She looked at the information and clicked through, and soon there was news that it was Police Officer Xiao Liu: The consultant is god! The Chu team, which claims to be slightly injured but not on the line, actually took a week off with the director this morning, and went to the hospital obediently!

Tang Xi smiled and was about to turn off the phone when another WeChat was inserted.

The court has accepted the case and is waiting for a telephone call. The Tang family may find you-Pei Qingzhi.

Tang Xi pondered for a while, immediately packed his schoolbags, went to the teacher, and took another week off based on the fact that there was something at home.

Although Wu Hai wasn't very happy, because Tang Xi's leave last week was handled by a policeman who came to the school, it was difficult to ask her "something" and could only agree to it.

Tang Xi left school and didn't go home, so she ran to the city bureau.

Chu Li is not there, and Xiao Liu is the leader of the crime team. Since seeing the horror scenes of the Lost Biochemical City and Tang Xi’s magical abilities last night, Xiao Liu has completely become a die-hard fan of Tang Xi. The girlfriends are much more hospitable.

Tang Xi borrowed Chu Li's office to cut off the sight of others, and then asked, "What did you find at the funeral home yesterday?"

"Oh, we checked the corpses cremated within half a year." Xiao Liu took out a notebook, opened the notes, pointed to a line and said, "These are the corpses sent by government agencies for cremation. The kind that won’t attract attention if the ashes are lost."

"Now, I actually wanted to ask a question before." Tang Xi supported his chin with both hands, "Have you seen the ashes?"

"Huh?" Xiao Liu was asked, his mouth wide open.

"The incinerating furnace in the crematorium does not actually burn the human body to powder." Tang Xi said.

Xiao Liu intuitively wanted to ask how you knew, but immediately remembered that Tang Xi's grandma had been sent away by herself, and he immediately held back.

Originally talking about ashes and ashes, he intuitively thought that the ashes were all dust. After all, the crematorium staff pushed the corpse in, and what they took out to give to their families was the urn. No matter how deep the feelings were, most people wouldn’t even open the urn to take a look—heh, thinking about it this way, their investigative direction is completely its not right!

Most people don’t look at it. First, they won’t find that there are bone remnants in the urn. Second, even if the urn is replaced with some pig bones, ordinary people will not be able to tell it. Ordinary people don’t know how to burn it. What is the difference between a man and a pig!

"However, you were attacked in the funeral home, it seems to be wrong." Tang Xi said again.

"It's really scary to say, those corpses...hey, I haven't been so scared this night when I grew up." Xiao Liu sighed, "Team Chu is really amazing. Seeing the corpse crawling out of the freezer, not only was it not afraid, but it was actually Also... I lifted a chair and smashed it over, then pulled Manager Qiu and me and ran away."

Tang Xi laughed dryly, reflecting on it because she told Chu Li that except for invisible ghosts, everything else could be hit?

After thinking about it, she asked again: "What were you doing before the body came alive?"

"Huh?" Xiao Liu was stunned, scratching the back of his head, and thinking about it for a while before he was uncertain. "We checked the unclaimed unclaimed corpse in the morgue... By the way! The Chu team sealed the freezer. Tear it off!"

"Where's the seal?" Tang Xi said sharply.

"Ah? Probably... in the evidence room?" Xiao Liu said, "It should have been posted back, but it was too messy at the time. Team Chu had been holding the seal and brought it back to the bureau, so it was temporarily placed in the evidence room. , I'll get it!"

"Thank you." Tang Xi nodded.

"Do you think it has something to do with that?" Yun Qi asked.

"I'm relatively allergic to seals recently." Tang Xi curled her lips, "What's more, it's definitely not accidental that the woman appeared in the funeral home."

Soon, Xiao Liu ran back all the way: "Consultant, this is it!"

Tang Xi took the seal and turned it over—it was blank.

no? She didn't know whether she was lucky or disappointed.

He picked up the seal and just wanted to return it to Xiao Liu. Suddenly, Su Huang appeared on the side and held her hand: "Wait."

Due to Xiao Liu's presence, Tang Xi didn't speak, but looked at her with questioning eyes.

"It smells." Su Huang walked over and sniffed, and said solemnly, "It's very light, but...it is indeed the smell of that woman's perfume."

Tang Xi tightened the seal abruptly, with spiritual power on his fingers, and slowly wiped it from the blank space.

Faintly, blood-colored runes appeared in front of her eyes, but as her spiritual power dissipated, the runes disappeared.

"This, what is this?" Xiao Liu felt terrified.

"Tail." Tang Xi raised her head, showing a sure smile.
