On the morning of the first day of the new year, most shops and supermarkets were closed. Tang Xi drove a few times before finally finding an open shop and went in to buy two boxes of milk and nutrition.
"What kind of person is Elder Wen?" Chu Li asked while helping her put things in the trunk.
"Hmm... Actually, I haven't touched it, although I have used many things he invented." Tang Xi thought for a while, "I took a look at the roof last time and I couldn't see anything."
"The one who celebrates the New Year is still staying in the dormitory, where are his children?" Chu Li said.
"Well, sister Yun told me." Tang Xi started the car and said casually, "I heard that Elder Wen's son was once a member of PEI. He belongs to the kind of young man with insufficient talent but full of enthusiasm. He was admitted exceptionally. He usually did logistics work mostly. But once he ran to the front without permission and died in the line."
"This..." Chu Li paused, "Wen has invented so many things, is it because..."
"Well, Old Wen said, I don't want to see his son's tragedy anymore. I hope that the members of PEI can protect themselves. Although he can't fight, he can also contribute to their lives, because these young people are all his. Child." Tang Xi said.
"Sounds like a very good person." Chu Li thoughtfully.
"Hearing is fictitious and seeing is believing. You will know after one visit." Tang Xi smiled.
Soon, the car crashed into the barrier again.
Although she had no notice, she also had permission to enter and exit, but if someone passed through the barrier, the people inside were still sensitive.
As soon as the car was parked, Gu Ranying came out.
"Yo." Tang Xi said hello with a smile.
"So early?" Gu Ran yawned.
"It's late, okay? It's almost noon!" Tang Xi complained.
"Please, today is the first day of the new year. I played all night yesterday. Who is not sleeping." Gu Ran sighed helplessly.
"Young people, such a life attitude is wrong." Tang Xi said righteously.
"Rolling." Gu Ran waved his hand impatiently.
"Why don't you go home for the New Year?" Chu Li took things from the trunk.
"Why are you going back?" Gu Ran rolled his eyes. "I'm an orphan. I was originally a child raised by PEI. I want to talk about my family in Nanjiang... The guy Ouyang Sheng said that he has only been in Jiangnan for a few days. ."
"Ha..." Tang Xi smiled gleefully.
While talking, a group of people had already entered the building.
Wen's home is on the first floor, so he can use a wheelchair to get in and out.
Gu Ran took out the key and opened the door.
"How do you follow up with your own home?" Tang Xi was stunned.
"Oh, this spare key is always in our hands, because someone has to help Mr. Wen cook every day, and it happened to be my turn this week." Gu Ran explained, took them in the door, and shouted, "Grandpa Wen , Tang Xi came to see you!"
Hearing the sound of wheels rolling in the house, a thin old man walked out of the room in a wheelchair with a smile on his face, "It's Xiao Tang, A Yun is talking about you every day, why are you free today?"
"Come to pay you New Year's greetings." Tang Xi motioned to Chu Li to classify the things he brought, and smiled, "You are not always there every time I come. This is not... it's the first time to visit. "
"Sit down." Old Wen pointed to the sofa and said enthusiastically, "Little Gu, help make some tea. In the second cabinet on the left of my kitchen, there is a box of the best red robe sent by Wang Ling. Take it out and taste it."
"Okay, let's tell you, I've been greedy for your tea for a long time." Gu Ran ran into the kitchen with a smile and boiled water with the electric tea kettle.
"You're welcome, sit and eat fruit." Old Wen moved the wheelchair to the side of the coffee table, picked up the red apple and handed it over.
"Thank you." Tang Xi took the apple and threw one to Chu Li.
"Why, it's not just for New Year's greetings today, right?" There was a wise gleam in old Wen's eyes.
"Your old wise eyes are like torches." Tang Xi "clicked" and took a bite of the apple, without embarrassment, only said, "I want to ask Elder Wen if there is a way to shield my spiritual power."
"Shielding spiritual power?" Wen Lao was shocked.
"Yeah." Tang Xi nodded repeatedly without seeing the outside. "I need to go to a place that is very unfriendly to people with spiritual power, so I thought, is there any way to hide spiritual power from outside? But it can’t disappear completely. It must be used immediately when needed.”
"That's it..." The expression on Old Wen's face became serious, and he fell into thinking. It took a long time to say, "Generally speaking, the things I invent are used to enhance spiritual power and increase children's capital in battle. Conversely, I haven't thought about the matter of restraining spiritual power."
"Is it difficult to do?" Tang Xi looked at him blankly.
"Let me think about it." Old Wen waved his hand and continued to meditate.
"Come on, drink tea. A couple of gold tea leaves." Gu Ran walked out with four cups of tea.
"You are simply spoiling tea." Tang Xi held his forehead.
"Isn't tea just adding water to tea? Why is there so much attention to it." Gu Ran disapproved.
"The violent thing." Tang Xi grabbed a fragrant pear in the fruit bowl and threw it over.
"Thanks." Gu Ran stretched out his hand to catch the fragrant pear and took a big mouthful.
"It's not impossible." Old Wen suddenly said.
"Hey, is it okay?" Tang Xi's eyes lit up.
"I have an idea to try." Old Wen explained, "I made a small device for them to stimulate their potential and improve their spiritual power over a period of time. If you use the whole principle in reverse, you might be able to achieve it. The effect of restraining spiritual power."
"Old Wen, you are so reliable!" Tang Xi praised.
"I have to try if I can do it, but you have provided me with a good idea." There was a hint of excitement and enthusiasm on old Wen's face.
"Suppress spiritual power? What do you want to do?" Gu Ran asked curiously.
"Go open a new copy and fight the Great Demon King." Tang Xi said solemnly.
"Get off you." Gu Ran gave her a white look, then turned his head and said, "Grandpa Wen, make me one too."
"I have to try it first." Old Wen said, taking out his mobile phone from his jacket pocket and typing it cracklingly, "I have sent you the things you need in your mailbox, and you can buy them for me when you have time in the afternoon."
"Where can I buy this New Year's Day?" Gu Ran was dumbfounded.
"Find a way by yourself." Old Wen waved his hand, extricating himself from the attitude of a fanatical researcher, completely different from the amiable old man before.
"..." Gu Ran suffocated. However, when he took out his phone and saw the long list, he broke down even more, "My God, what are these? Where can I find such a weird thing? Nightmare horns? Nightmare beasts are going to be extinct. Okay. And the blood of the demon? Forgive me..."
"Let me see." Tang Xi took his mobile phone.
"Why, do you have?" Gu Ran said.
"I can handle this, this, this." Tang Xi pointed to a few of the materials and explained, "Last time I was in the ghost market in Nanjiang, didn't I collect a lot of things?"
"Uh..." Gu Ran was speechless.
"The three drops of sky demon blood that I snatched from Miao Hong's hands are not enough." Tang Xi meditated. "There is nothing we can do if there are not enough. Sky demon blood is the most difficult thing to get, and I can't get it in the short term."
"Three drops?" Old Wen said, "One drop is enough, and I can make three for you with three drops-well, the first test product may not be possible, so I can make at least two for you."
"Okay, you can ask me for those things." Tang Xi nodded.
"I'll take a look at the others." Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the list. Tang Xi just picked out the most difficult ones, and the rest... PEI's warehouse, basically you can get it together. There are also some common items that can be bought on the market, and the store should be opened by the fourth day of the junior high school.
It's not difficult to think about it this way.
"That's OK, I have one." Gu Ran said.
"Are you really going? This is not a joke." Tang Xi solemnly said.
"Go, of course." Gu Ran said, plugged his phone back, and walked to the kitchen. "It's all here. Let's go after dinner. I just filled the refrigerator yesterday."
"You do?" Tang Xi looked surprised.
"Why? Look down on me?" Gu Ran snorted coldly, "I've lived alone for so many years, so I won't starve to death."
"The men are pretty good now." Tang Xi remembered the exquisite breakfast that could be sold in the restaurant in the morning, and glanced at the person next to him, "This is an exception."
"Hey..." Chu Li had a black line. "Although it is not the level of a chef, I can't cook it, okay?"
"Will you do it?" Tang Xi couldn't help but widen his eyes.
She hasn't seen Chu Li in the next kitchen after knowing him for so long—no, he went to the kitchen to be instant noodles! Look at the kitchen in his former police dormitory that didn't even have a pot!
"No time." Chu Li also answered readily.
"..." Tang Xi's black line, no time--this is really an answer that can't be refuted.
"You are free here, you are welcome, I will draw some design drawings." Old Wen left a word, turned the wheelchair and quickly entered the room, and closed the door with a click.
Tang Xi was dumbfounded.
"Probably scientists are like this." Chu Li said, stood up, and took the phone around the room.
"What are you doing?" Tang Xi gnawed at the apple and looked at him curiously.
"The software installed by Xiao Xiao is used to capture interference information." Chu Li replied.
"Oh." Tang Xi looked at him eagerly.
Suddenly, Chu Li's footsteps stopped.
"Anything?" Tang Xi asked.
Chu Li knelt down, touched a socket in the corner, and said in thought, "This thing is quite advanced."
"Oh? Really?" Tang Xi walked over curiously.
"It's not real-time transmission, so the signal wave is very small, and you can hardly feel it. If Xiao Xiao had just upgraded the technology a few years ago, he still couldn't find it out." Chu Li sneered.
"Hey? No wonder I didn't find it after I checked it so many times." Gu Ran poked his head out of the kitchen, holding the spatula in one hand.
"Is there a screwdriver?" Chu Li asked.
"Wait." Gu Ran shrank back. After a while, he handed out an all-purpose Swiss army knife. "Only this."
"Okay." Chu Li took the knife and found the screwdriver. He quickly removed the socket and carefully took out a device with a larger fingernail cover from the inside. The light on it was green.
Later, he put the socket back intact.
"This is a recording?" Tang Xi asked.
"Well, this is spyware." Chu Li explained, "Although the wiretapping device that transmits signals in real time is easy to use, it will be discovered as long as you make a phone call, so it is not suitable for long-term wiretapping. Like this one. It only collects recordings without transmitting, so that the signal can be reduced to a minimum, and it saves power. Set the time, wait until late at night, the owner is asleep, usually no one will call, and then start to transmit audio files."
"In other words, what we have been here today has not been passed on yet." Tang Xi said.
"Yeah. I'll take it to Xiao Xiao in a moment." A nasty light flashed in Chu Li's eyes, "Get him some homemade radio dramas to listen to."
"Still lead the snake out of the cave." Tang Xi also smiled.
"The sound of audio transmission is inherently distorted, not to mention that this thing is too small, and the sound quality is just like that." Chu Li tossed the bug | Help me write a script."
Municipal Bureau.
"President Pei, here." Xiao Liu took Pei Qingzhi to the interview room and said, "On the first day of the new year, there are only a few people on duty in the bureau, why are you returning?"
"It will only be available in the next year." Pei Qingzhi smiled implicitly, "Besides, it was inconvenient before. Your trial has come to an end. It would be better for me to apply for an interview."
"Thank you always Pei for understanding our work." Xiao Liu also breathed a sigh of relief, and then curiously asked, "But why doesn't President Pei find the Chu team and consultants?"
"I think it's better to avoid suspicion. I applied for a visit through a formal channel, and I don't want to spread it out and let people say that Chu Li is playing favoritism." Pei Qingzhi said.
"Yes." Xiao Liu nodded and opened the door. "That's it."
Pei Qingzhi walked in the door and looked at the small room with some curiosity.
The soundproof glass divides the room into two halves, and there is no one inside.
"Will the meeting be videotaped?" Pei Qing asked.
"Of course it will." Xiao Liu nodded, "President Pei, sorry, this is a rule."
"I know, it won't be difficult for you, what I want to say, in fact, there is nothing that can't be said to people." Pei Qing chuckled.
"Okay." Xiao Liu walked to the corner, moved a chair and sat down and waited.
After a while, the door opposite the glass opened, and a policewoman pressed Pei Yuan in a prison uniform and walked in.
"It's you?" A hint of surprise flashed across Pei Yuan's face.
"It's me." Although Pei Qingzhi couldn't hear her, but she understood what she meant by her mouth, she replied.
The two of them sat down through the glass and picked up the microphones they used to talk to each other.
However, in just over two months, Pei Yuan's originally well-maintained hair had silver cream and wrinkles appeared on her skin. It looked like an aunt who was squeezed into a discount supermarket to buy eggs was no different.
"Are you coming to see me making a joke?" After a long while, Pei Yuan opened the topic with a sneer.
"I'm not so idle." Pei Qing said indifferently.
"Then what do you want?" Pei Yuan laughed sarcastically, "I am like this. Is there any value to you? Qingzhi, you won. Dad's vision is really right. We will add Together, it’s not as good as you."
Pei Qingzhi shook his head and did not explain the good intentions of grandfather and father back then.
What if I know it? Nothing can come back.
He would come to Pei Yuan instead of Pei Yuanli and Pei Yuanqing, just knowing that Pei Yuan is the one who is the easiest to open the gap, because she has concerns.
"That's right, I filed for a divorce." Pei Qing said.
Pei Yuan froze for a moment, then laughed out of her voice until she burst into tears: "For so many years, I have always wanted to divorce. My dad doesn't support him, and he will live and die. Now that I have no use value? Can't wait to get rid of me? Hahaha...Who am I marrying!"
Pei Qingzhi kept waiting for her to finish venting and calmed down a little bit. Then he continued: "□ □ A notarization is set up at the same time. You will not be sentenced to death. When you are released from prison, he will remarry you. If he marries someone else All the property under his name belongs to his children Li Qingshi and Li Qingxue, and he will go out of the house."
"What?" Pei Yuan looked at him incredulously.
"If you don't divorce, the property under your husband and wife's name will be frozen. Only by divorcing can you get a part of it as soon as possible. Your children need money." Pei Qing said indifferently.
Although it was considered a loophole, Pei Qingzhi obviously did not intend to go into it.
Pei Yuan was silent for a long time, her voice a little dumb: "What do you want to say?"
"I thought you wanted to know." Pei Qingzhi smiled softly.
"I know what's the use." Pei Yuan sneered, but the hostility between his eyebrows suddenly dispersed a lot.
"At least there is hope." Pei Qingzhi said indifferently, "Pei Yuanqing was the one who prescribed the medicine, and Pei Yuanli was the one who gave the idea to pour the wine. In comparison, you are the one with the least charge. As long as you want to, you may not have the chance to come back."
"You don't want me to die?" Pei Yuan looked at him in surprise.
"Who and who are not close relatives." Pei Qing smiled bitterly, "I want a truth, I want everyone to pay their due price, but I have never thought about letting anyone die. The law should be judged by the law, and I believe in justice. the result of."
"What do you want?" Pei Yuan asked.
"The expert in metaphysics who contacted Pei Yuanli behind his back." Pei Qingzhi replied.
"Why do you think I know?" Pei Yuan asked back.
"You are not stupid." Pei Qingzhi said.
"Well, I did investigate." Pei Yuan shrugged and said again, "But, I told you, what good is it for me? Will you reduce my sentence?"
"I will help you take care of Li Qingshi and Li Qingxue, but they didn't know it." Pei Qing said.
"That's it?" Pei Yuan couldn't help but said.
"What do you want?" Pei Qingzhi tapped his fingers on the table and said calmly, "You should know how much trouble this case has caused in Jiangnan City. As your children, you think that they can do without my protection. Do you want to survive in Jiangnan City? Or do you want them to leave their hometown, and they won't be able to see you for more than ten or twenty years."
"That's why you chose to cooperate with me?" Pei Yuan smiled bitterly.
"Pei Qing and himself are still in prison. You know what a idiot Pei Qinghong is than I am." Pei Qingzhi said calmly, "The one who can barely get a handful is Li Qingshi's brothers and sisters. Finally, they still have a good father. You should Contented."
After a long time, Pei Yuan finally sighed: "You let them go and help them in a critical juncture. I will tell you everything I know."
"Okay." Pei Qing smiled at the corners of her lips.
"Being in your hands, Pei will definitely reach the ideal position of Dad." Pei Yuan looked at him with a complicated expression.
An hour later, Pei Qingzhi walked out of the city bureau building in the eyes of Xiao Liu Jingpei.
As soon as the door was closed and the seat belt was fastened, a new message alert sounded from the phone.
After opening it, it was Chu Li.
"Scriptwriter?" Pei Qingzhi couldn't laugh or cry.
Turn off the fire, and a call is dialed: "Where are you?"
"At Xiao Xiao's house." Chu Li replied.
"I'm speaking." Tang Xi grabbed the phone and walked to the balcony to talk.
Chu Li gave a "tsk" and went on to watch the audio files Xiao Xue poured out of the buggy device.
Xiao Xue lives in the same police dormitory, and the whole floor is the police dormitory. The layout is the same as the dormitory he used to live in, but it is cleaned up.
"Where are you? Why do I feel as if I heard the sound of a police siren." Tang Xi asked in confusion.
"I'm at the entrance of the Municipal Bureau." Pei Qingzhi glanced back and said indifferently, "A police car went out just now."
"What are you doing at the Municipal Bureau?" Tang Xi opened his eyes wide.
"I went to Pei Yuan and asked something, I guess you will be interested." Pei Qingzhi let out a low laugh.
"The person behind Pei Yuanli?" Tang Xi blurted out.
"Do you want it?" Pei Qing asked.
"Yes!" Tang Xi sat directly on the railing of the balcony. Anyway, on the second floor, it wouldn't shock anyone who saw it.
"I have an address here, in Qingjiang City, do you want to go there together?" Pei Qing said.
"Address? Is it possible that Pei Yuan can be tracked until he is not found? Is it reliable?" Tang Xi asked in confusion.
"Because it was not a follower, it was just that Pei Yuanli had bad luck and was seen by Li Qingxue who went to Fu Xiaowan to play." Pei Qingzhi said, "Li Qingxue said casually after a long time, but Pei Yuan is much smarter than her daughter. Private detectives were hired to investigate the extramarital affairs of the male owner next door, and many photos were taken nearby."
"This is really unlucky." Tang Xi couldn't help but mourned for Pei Yuanli.
"Although you may not be able to find a clue, but shouldn't it be too late?" Pei Qing asked, "I have asked Xiao Liu to check the homeowner's information and send it to your email."
"It's so easy for the people who called us." Tang Xi was amused. "Come here first. We are at the police dormitory, very close to the city bureau. We will discuss the next step when we meet."
"Okay." Pei Qingzhi hung up and sent the address message.
"Ding Dong~"
Tang Xi clicked on the e-mail that popped out, and looked at the slightly familiar surname, lost in thought.
Miao Qing? What does it have to do with the Gu Master Miao Hong that Nanjiang met?
In Qingjiang City, there was also a Zhuang Shijie who was related to Miao Hong. It seemed that there was an invisible thread that was stringing the scattered clues together. And what is hidden under the water has gradually risen and become clearer and clearer.
While thinking, she jumped off the handrail, walked back to the house, and said: "I will go down to meet Pei Qingzhi, and discuss something together."
"What's the matter?" Chu Li's eyes still fell on the computer screen.
Of course, let Pei Qingzhi write a script or something, that is, a joke to relax the tension. Xiao Xue synthesizes the voice while chatting happily with Su Wanyi on QQ. The two girls say something to me. It has been written in a seven-seven-eight-seven-eight.
Sure enough, the girl who is best at this kind of thing is still the best.
"Pei Qingzhi found the bastard's lair." Tang Xi shook her phone and added two more words, "Probably."
"..." Chu Li Petrochemical.
So what are they busy doing? It is not as efficient as an ordinary citizen.
Well, Pei Qingzhi is not ordinary. But... wanting to fight is real.
"I'm going down." Tang Xi bounced open the door and went out, in a very good mood.
