Chapter 58： Paradise in the well

The car left the city and went straight to Qingxi Gorge.

After a two-hour drive, Tang Xi was bored and took the bracelet off her wrist. She asked casually, "What kind of residence do you like for Master Gui Cha?"

"Probably... Ming and Qing Siheyuan? It would be better if there was a big jujube tree in the patio." Xie Changan's voice sounded in her mind, "Also, you can call my name, I am not a ghost for a long time. Worse."

Tang Xi smiled, concentrating on her fingertips, trying to use spiritual power as a needle to carve patterns on the beads.

Pei Qingzhi drove very steadily, and the road conditions on the expressway were good, almost no bumps were felt, just as a spiritual control exercise.

"Isn't it the first time something happened to Qingxi Gorge?" Tang Xi asked.

"It's been the third time since the official start of construction this month. The first two times have not killed anyone." Pei Qing sighed.

"Specifically?" Tang Xi said.

"The first time was at the beginning of the month, or during the National Day holiday." Pei Qingzhi thought for a while, and slowly said, "The construction site was just started, the workers' dormitory was just built, and all kinds of machinery and equipment were not in place. Qingxi Gorge. The location of the ground was invisible to the highway, and it happened to be blocked by a small hill, so the col was especially dark. It was cloudy and there was no moon that day. The following report said that some workers went out in the middle of the night and fell into the pit. After a broken leg, I just thought it was a simple accident, so people were paid for medical expenses based on work-related injuries, and they were allowed to go back and take care of them."

"Yeah, what then?" Tang Xi replied, the rudiment of a courtyard house appeared at his fingertips.

"Then it will be the second time." Pei Qingzhi continued, "A worker didn't pay attention to his feet when he was working, and fell into the pit, with two broken ribs. At that time, some people actually said that there was evil, and two people fell into the same one. It’s in the pit, and it’s all a bit inexplicable. But that time was broad daylight, and the rumors disappeared after two days."

"Then this time?" Tang Xi said.

"Well, for the third time someone fell into the same pit inexplicably, even if I want to say it was an accident-I can hardly believe it, isn't it?" Pei Qingzhi said helplessly.

Tang Xi didn't say a word, turned the bracelet, admiring his work, nodded in satisfaction, and began to draw the jujube tree.

"More importantly, after the second accident, I have asked people to install guardrails on the side of the pit to prevent people from approaching." Pei Qingzhi said again, "Because there have been two consecutive accidents, the workers have treated the pit. Some are secretive, even if they walk around during the day, how could it be possible to go out at night and jump over the guardrail and fall to death inside."

"Who knows, maybe it's really haunted." Tang Xi said.

"If yes, can this ghost be regarded as killing people?" Pei Qingzhi asked.

"Not necessarily, you have to check it out." Tang Xi shook her head, took a breath, and blew off the sawdust on the surface of the bracelet.

An exquisite courtyard house, lush jujube trees, a few stone benches under the tree, and a well next to it.

On summer nights, if you can pick jujubes and soak in the well water to cool off, it is also a great joy in life.

In the next moment, it was faintly visible that there was an extra shadow under the jujube tree.

"I think my craftsmanship is not bad, just tell me what is missing." Tang Xi smiled.

"Thank you." Xie Changan responded after a while.

"I have another question. Since there have been two accidents, why not just fill up the pit?" Tang Xi asked.

"The pit was not dug out by our workers, but was originally hollow." Pei Qingzhi replied, "It rained in the mountains for a few days before, and the pit collapsed after soil erosion. The surrounding area is indeed dangerous because of the softness of the soil. I didn't ask the workers to fill it up immediately, but wanted to wait until the large machines entered the site."

"So..." Tang Xi had a bad feeling from the bottom of his heart.

The pit that already exists...

"By the way, what did Chu Li say?" Pei Qing asked.

"He told me to watch the scene first, and when he explained the aftermath well, he would take someone to rush over." Tang Xi sighed, with a bitter and bitter expression on his face, "I think he really wants to beat me now."

"Come on." Pei Qingzhi sneered, "He is a troublesome physique himself, so he is ashamed to blame you?"

"Oh?" Tang Xi's eyes lit up and looked at him enthusiastically.

"He... I remember that when we were in school, we ran away for a late self-study and went out to eat supper. When we saw someone robbed on the road, he rushed to help." Pei Qing laughed, "As a result, he just chased the robber and ran away for ten. Kilometers, ran until the robbers foamed at the mouth and couldn’t run before taking the bag back. Originally, returning the bag to the owner was over, but who knows that after going back, we won’t find the owner. No way, we just Able to send the package to the nearby police station to explain the situation."

"It's not that simple, right?" Tang Xi guessed.

If it was just an ordinary act of righteousness, Chu Li must have done a lot of this kind of thing, and it was unreasonable that this one was remembered by Pei Qing until now.

"The police from the police station confirmed the contents of the bag face to face with us. As a result, as soon as I opened the backpack, it was packed full of sea|luo|in. It weighed ten kilograms, enough to be shot dozens of times." Pei Qing said.

Tang Xi twitched the corners of her mouth, and when he saw righteousness, he could bump into a drug dealer. This luck was also against the sky!

"It's not over yet." Pei Qingzhi glanced at her, with a smile in her tone, "We were assaulted in the middle of the school after we finished the transcript. But it was probably because of our two students. Four or five people came, then Chu Li was beaten, and then dragged back to the police station. Coincidentally, there was the drug dealer’s brother-in-law, who followed the vines and found a drug production den in one fell swoop, and was also on the head of the Jiangnan Daily. The headline of the page is only due to the protagonist’s underage and fear of retaliation, so the names of the photos are all mosaicked."

Tang Xi said that he did not want to speak.

Playing truant from school and eating a supper can be a shocking case. From now on, don't say that she is Conan's physique. Fifty steps and a hundred steps. Who is this shambles?

Talking and laughing, the car has driven into the Qingxi Gorge area. Only the main road leads to the scenic spot, and Pei Qingzhi turned on a small road next to him.

This road is obviously newly built. There are only two lanes, and a layer of yellow sand is scattered on the road. It should have been scattered along the way by the transport vehicles entering and exiting. A street lamp can be seen from a long distance away, which is gloomy.

"It's so dark tonight." Tang Xi said.

"It's the relationship between New Moon and Moon." Pei Qing said.

"Shuo Yue..." Tang Xi frowned, "How far is it?"

"Just ahead." Pei Qingzhi lifted her chin and motioned her to look forward.

In the dark mountainous area, there is only one brightly lit place, which is the construction site of the Qingxi Gorge Villa Project.

However, Tang Xi also knew that even though his eyes were not far from the eighteenth bend of the mountain road, he could actually drive around for at least forty minutes.

"Is there a fork here?" she asked.

"No, this road was built for this project. It belongs to a private domain and can only lead to Qingxi Gorge Villa." Pei Qingzhi said.

"There is no city monitoring, right?" Tang Xi confirmed.

"Monitoring is available, but it has not been activated, and the monitoring files will only exist in Pei's." Although Pei Qingzhi did not understand her intention, she still tried her best to answer.

"Very good." Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and started to shrink into an inch.

There are no witnesses, no surveillance, and an insider next to her-why does she spend forty minutes in the car?

As a result, Pei Qingzhi was shocked to discover that the lamp that had been dangling in the distance was getting closer and closer in the next moment. He was walking on a winding mountain road, but it seemed to ignore the terrain and drive straight past. .

In less than five minutes, the car had stopped at the gate of the construction site.

"Wasting time is wasting life." Tang Xi said solemnly.

Pei Qing Zhifu, but even a ghost has been seen, this... well, it's not that incredible.

The two got out of the car and walked into the construction site. Waiting at the door was a fortunate man in his forties, with a beer belly, wiping sweat constantly, while walking around the place, seeing them, almost rushed over: " President Pei! You can count it!"

"This is Gao Zhengguan, the person in charge of the construction site here." Pei Qingzhi turned his head and said, but obviously did not introduce the other side.

"Hello." Tang Xi nodded calmly.

"Uh... well, good lady." Gao Zhengguan was shocked, and hurriedly laughed, but his expression was very strange.

President Pei rushed over in the middle of the night and brought a female high school student-because of the parent meeting, Tang Xi was still wearing a high school autumn uniform. But Pei Qingzhi didn't mean to introduce him, and he could only swallow his doubts into his stomach.

"What about people?" Pei Qingzhi asked as he strode in.

"I'm afraid that there will be another accident. I will gather the workers in the cafeteria, so that it is convenient for the police to interrogate." Gao Zhengguan wiped the sweat again, crying and said, "As for the corpse...still in the pit, according to President Pei's instructions, No one dared to move at the scene."

"How do you say?" Pei Qing asked.

"Let's take a look at that pit first." Tang Xi replied.

Gao Zhengguan’s words were held back, only to realize that the boss was not asking him, but he was shocked when he reacted: “Pei, it’s not easy to walk on the construction site this night, and it’s the corpse. This...inconvenient. Bar?"

"It's okay, you're waiting here, and the criminal police from the serious crime team will come over and take them to the cafeteria." Pei Qingzhi waved his hand and motioned that he didn't have to follow.

Gao Zhengguan stared at their backs dumbfounded and speechless: Take the little girl to see the corpse in the middle of the night... Mr. Pei, this operation is nothing but loneliness!

"Are you familiar with this place?" Tang Xi asked casually.

"It's okay." Pei Qing said, "I came here to inspect it myself, so be careful."

Tang Xi almost stepped in the air several times, and was very upset. Relying on no one, she simply opened the ghost pupil to herself, and the scene in front of her suddenly became slender.

"Your eyes are not some practiced spells, are they?" Pei Qing asked curiously.

"Well, it was born." Tang Xi smiled.

Ghost pupil's brand was carved into her soul, and even if she changed the world or body, she still brought it over. At the beginning, she would be abandoned by her biological parents, mostly because she couldn't control herself when she was a baby. I don't know if her parents were afraid of her silver eye pupils, or... I simply felt that the color of her eyes was not at first sight. biological?

However, it was also because of the ghost pupil, she was born with a strong spiritual power, and soared up as soon as she entered the profound door.

"Are you afraid?" Tang Xi deliberately leaned over.

"What are you afraid of?" Pei Qingzhi helpless, "These years, blue, red and purple eyes are not uncommon, and silver is not that strange. If you walk on the street like this, there may be women who want to ask where you bought them. Cosmetic contact lenses."

Tang Xi shrugged.

Well, the times have indeed changed. If Ghost Hitomi appeared a few decades ago, it would be strange not to be treated as a monster.

"It's just ahead." Pei Qingzhi pointed her in the direction.

Tang Xi looked up, her face changed suddenly, and she grabbed his hand and stood in place.

"What's the matter?" Pei Qing looked at her suspiciously.

"There is something wrong in the front, the grievance is very serious, I will go ahead." Tang Xi let go.

Pei Qingzhi closed his left eye and only looked at it with his right eye. Sure enough, what he had previously vaguely made what he thought was Yewu clearer. He couldn't help muttering to himself: "That's resentment?"

"I think you should really invite a reliable Feng Shui master to check it out before choosing a site." Tang Xi sighed.

"Very serious?" Pei Qingzhi felt tight.

"Feng Shui in this place is actually good." Tang Xi said, "Feng Shui is actually not that mysterious. It is like a residential building. If it is backlit, humid and windy, then people living in it will definitely not be comfortable. In other words, Feng Shui It’s not much better. On the contrary, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the wind gathers the air, and the place is refreshing and happy to look at, Feng Shui is not perfect, but it is certainly not a fierce place. Even an ordinary person can judge these."

Pei Qingzhi thought about what she said, and nodded deeply: "At the beginning, I also felt comfortable when I first saw this place. I thought that if I build a house here, I should be happy to live."

"Yes, it's just...something has gone wrong in this place. If there was an expert who gave me some advice, it could have been avoided." Tang Xi said.

"What's the problem?" Pei Qing's heart tightened.

"There is a tomb here." Tang Xi replied very simply, "I didn't see the tombstone. It may have been flattened during historical changes, but your luck is really bad. The people in this tomb are by no means a normal death, you When he was flattening the land, he was disturbed again, and his grievances were high."

"What should I do? Super Duo?" Pei Qing asked.

Tang Xi was already standing at the edge of the pit and looking down. She didn't know if it was because of the dark night. The pit that was originally only more than two meters deep was dark, like the entrance to the abyss, and couldn't see the bottom at a glance.

There are simple handrails set up by workers by the side of the pit, but a section of it has fallen to one side, and there are traces of people struggling when sliding down the soil on the side of the pit.

"It's strange to say that this pit is only two meters deep, and there is soft soil underneath. Even if it is planted, it may not be dead, let alone slip down." Pei Qingzhi stood behind her and said, "The first two times fell. They just broke their bones. This time... I really don’t know what kind of posture I was able to fall directly to death."

"Then you have to wait for the forensic doctor to come." Tang Xi shrugged, drew a charm, patted the resentment entangled in the air, and snorted coldly: "Get away!"

The resentment seemed to flinch, circled in the air, and withdrew silently.

"It... Conscious?" Pei Qing asked in astonishment.

"It's not consciousness, it should be said that it is instinct-no matter what kind of creature, as long as it moves, the most direct instinct is fear." Tang Xi explained, touching the bracelet in his hand, and instructed, "Su Phoenix, go down and take a look."

"I see." Su Huang's figure flashed and jumped into the pit.

What's strange is that in the pit only two meters deep, Su Huang is wearing a striking red dress, but from above, he can't see the red color at all, as if he had been swallowed by the abyss.

"Su Huang?" Tang Xi shouted.

Silence is silent.

After a long time, just when Tang Xi couldn't help but want to blow up the big pit, Su Huang finally floated out of the pit, but his figure dimmed a lot.

Tang Xi's expression changed, and a wave of spiritual power wrapped her in the middle, and instantly pulled back the Soul Cultivation Orb.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Su Huang's voice was a little tired, "Xiao Xi, go back first, and come back during the day. There is something weird under here."

Tang Xi asked a few more questions, but couldn't hear the answer anymore, only to know through the contract that Su Huang was very weak now and fell into a deep sleep.

"I know." She took a breath and turned back, "Let's go, go see your worker, I have something to ask, Chu Li should also come."

"Yeah." Pei Qingzhi responded.

Because he already had the experience of walking over, Tang Xi held his shoulder with one hand, started to shrink to an inch, stepped to the entrance of the construction site, and directly jumped over the dirt road full of potholes and traps.

Sure enough, Gao Zhengguan was gone, and there was another car at the door.

"Here." Pei Qingzhi took her to the canteen on the other side, and heard Chu Li's roar before reaching the door, sounding in a bad mood.

"Xiao Xi!" Su Wanyi beckoned to her.

"Sister Wanyi." Tang Xi embraced her arm affectionately and whispered, "Why are you so irritable?"

"Can you not be irritable?" Su Wanyi glanced at Chu Li who was interrogating, and bit her ears. "Thousands of parents and students of Jiangnan No. 1 High School were kidnapped. Principal Bai Dongmei, a celebrity in our city, was killed on the spot, and Tan Ju ran away most of the night. Go back to the office for a meeting, and then you call the police to find the corpse... You should be careful not to touch him."

Tang Xi couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

It sounds miserable.

"Forensic Su has worked hard too." Pei Qingzhi continued.

"I'm actually okay." Su Wanyi smiled bitterly, "I can't do anything about the ashes in the fish pond. The corpse of Principal Bai, the Chu team used me as a cover, but what's the situation with the corpse here? "

"I guess it's not pretty." Tang Xi gave an early warning first.

Two meters pit fell to death, this method of death is certainly not ordinary, maybe it has to challenge the psychological bottom line of forensic medicine.

"I see a lot of ugly corpses." Su Wanyi disapproved.

While speaking, Chu Li strode over and asked directly: "How is the situation, can I have an autopsy overnight."

"Suggested tomorrow." Tang Xi blinked at him, "It's too dark, and the lighting is not enough, and it's easy to cause secondary accidents."

Chu Li was startled, and quickly reacted to the subtext in her words, and his face suddenly turned black.

Sure enough, as long as you get involved in Tang Xi's case, hell!

"Team Chu, it's very late today, or I will arrange it and stay here and rest for a night before planning." Pei Qing said.

"Alright." Chu Li thought for a while and nodded.

"Don't forget to ask for leave tomorrow." Tang Xi sighed.

I'm about to take the final exam, I'm so sad that I have to make up classes again when I go back.

Chu Li scratched his head and said helplessly: "No, you have such a big event in your school tonight, and classes will be suspended this week if you can't go to school tomorrow."

"Oh." Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, if you ask for leave again, it is estimated that Teacher Wu Hai's hair will be bleached, and it will be best if he doesn't need to stimulate him any more!

Gao Zhengguan ran over with a wink, because the construction site was newly built and workers did not enter the site. The dormitory was vacant. Although bed sheets and bedding were standard supplies, Pei did not treat workers harshly. The materials used were solid and sufficient. Keep warm and brand new.

Tang Xi and Su Wanyi, Chu Li and Xiao Liu settled down, Pei Qingzhi also ordered the workers to go back to their rooms to sleep, and they were not allowed to go out if nothing happened.

Of course, there is no need for guards. There is no car. This mountain col is just an open secret room. It is unreasonable to walk to a place with humans on two legs.

Because he arrived in a hurry, and no one brought a change of clothes. Fortunately, Tang Xi was not able to afford hardship. As a forensic doctor, Su Wanyi lived in a more difficult environment when he went out with the team. After washing my face with hot water, I went to sleep with clothes.

Early the next morning, he was awakened by the sound outside.

"What?" Tang Xi, who had just walked into the cafeteria to have breakfast, heard that Chu Litian had taken someone to move the corpse as soon as it was light. She almost cursed it, grabbed a bun and chewed on it, and walked out, Su Wanyi Naturally keep up.

The line of sight in broad daylight is good, and a group of people can be seen around the pit from a distance.

Pei Qingzhi called a few bold workers to help. At this moment, all the surrounding handrails were removed. Chu Li walked around the pit twice, thoughtfully.

"How's it going?" Tang Xi trot two steps and came to him.

"I think it's a bit weird." Chu Li said.

"Where is it?" Tang Xi asked in confusion.

Perhaps it was the sun's shining relationship. The grievances and darkness of last night were dispelled. The body was warm and the condition of the bottom of the pit was clearly visible. A young man was lying on the bottom of the pit in a very strange posture. Obviously, The person who can bend the body into this angle is definitely not a living person, and should have died on the spot.

"Come here." Chu Li dragged her to the place where the man slid down, squatted down, pointed to the flattened drag mark, and whispered, "This mark is not so much that he slipped down through the air. Like... I was suddenly dragged down by someone's ankle."

"Are you serious?" Tang Xi looked at him.

"The dragging force is greater, so the soil layer is firmer, and there are some messy marks on both sides, like fingers grabbed." Chu Li said.

"But if you slide down, you will subconsciously want to grab something to fix it." Tang Xi said.

"The **** here is not steep. If it's just a slip, such a deep scratch should be enough to fix the body, and it can slow down the speed of the fall at the least, and it is impossible to fall directly into that ghost." Chu Li affirmed.

"Okay." Tang Xi nodded.

She is a layman in the trace check, and it is better to agree with the professional judgment of the police.

She yelled Su Huang several times in her heart, but she still didn't get an answer. It can be seen that Su Huang suffered a lot from the injury last night, but if she doesn't wake up, no one can know what she has met.

"Xiao Liu will go down with me and move the corpse up first." Chu Li greeted him, and in order not to damage the traces, he went to the other side of the pit.

Su Wanyi handed them a body bag, and methodically spread out plastic paper on the flat ground next to him, preparing various tools.

Tang Xi felt unable to intervene, thought for a while, and turned to Pei Qingzhi: "Where are the workers who were with the deceased last night? I'll talk to them."

"Already let them wait in the conference room." Pei Qingzhi said very seriously.

Tang Xi gave him a thumbs-up, and finally took another look at the big hole that seemed unusually ordinary during the day.

If it was dragged down...what is there on earth?

Ghost? monster? Or something else?
