    Chapter 18 Reincarnation Sundial Seventeen...

    It was a weird cold, even the air was frozen, the air conditioner in the office stopped at some point, and people didn't seem to need it for the time being, because the temperature in the whole office building dropped sharply, and the windows were cold. There was even a tiny hoarfrost.

    Those ghost workers who were floating and busy all stopped and stopped in place, standing respectfully with their heads bowed, as if they were waiting in line to welcome some big man.

    I don't know when Zhao Yunlan was awake and sat there with four cups in front of him. He was pouring hot tea into the cups, and Lin Jing had already stood up.

    Guo Great Wall didn't know why, so he had to stand up.

    At this time, the air conditioner in the office beeped a few times and automatically switched to warm air mode.

    Clear footsteps sounded, and he returned to the empty corridor unhurriedly. After a while, he stopped at the door of the Criminal Investigation Department's office. Old Wu opened the door and walked in with a person.

    Old Wu's attitude is extremely respectful, like the little eunuch who travels with the emperor in the movie. He leads people all the way to the office, bends down and stretches out his hand, and pulls out the chair for the person who comes, but he doesn't even dare to lift his head, and his eyebrows are lowered. He said, "Sir, please come here."

    Guo Great Wall heard the man say politely, "It's work."

    It was a male voice, extremely pleasant to the ear, soft and polite, but still had a solemn feeling that people couldn't help but bow their heads.

    Guo Great Wall probably didn't wake up. When everyone was pretending to be a wooden man, he did something daring - he gathered up his courage and looked up at the other party.

    I saw that "person" was slender, his whole body was wrapped in a black robe, his hands and feet were all invisible, and his face was hidden under a black mist.

    The man first stopped at the door, bowed his hands to Zhao Yunlan from a distance, swept his long robe sleeves over his feet, and said "nuisance". Seeing that Zhao Yunlan also nodded politely, he did not panic. Walk in without a hassle.

    Zhao Yunlan picked up a huáng paper talisman, clicked it, and caught the burnt paper ashes in a cup full of hot tea. The ashes quickly melted in the hot water, and it was still steaming just now. The hot water seemed to be instantly cooled, and the heat was gone.

    At the same time, the man in the black robe had a steaming cup out of thin air.

    "Don't be busy, it's freezing cold all the way, so the Soul Slayer will sit first," Zhao Yunlan said, "drink a cup of water to warm your hands."

    Guo Changcheng watched him burn the talisman to deliver tea, the word "burning paper" appeared in his mind involuntarily, and then his hypersensitive nerves noticed Zhao Yunlan's words.

    "It's freezing cold"? Guo Great Wall wondered, how could the dog days be "cold and freezing"? Where did this person come from?

    Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, causing the intern to shudder violently.

    He remembered what his grandmother had told him when he was a child—before the old man "goes on the road", he must be fed and clothed, otherwise he will be cold in the soul without a companion on the road.

    Is it...

    The black-clothed Soul Slayer lowered his head and took a sip: "Good tea, thank you."

    Then he walked past Guo Great Wall and sat on the chair opposite Zhao Yunlan. The moment he passed by, Guo Great Wall smelled a scent.

    It was not the rancid odor they had encountered in the hospital, it was definitely not unpleasant, there was even a faint scent, which was very light, but at first inhalation, it inexplicably reminded Guo Changcheng of the mid-winter outside the Great Xing'an Mountains.

    It was snow that had just fallen overnight. When opened the door in the morning and walked out, the first breath of air inhaled into lungs was emanating from the boundless snow that seemed to never melt all year round. It's icy cold again, mixed with the kind of fragrance that some dying flower emits... a fragrance that travels to the end.

    People are only in it for a while, and their sense of smell is frozen and numb, leaving only the instinct of breathing, and can no longer distinguish anything.

    This soul-killer speaks softly and scrupulously, like a pedantic scholar in a costume drama. When someone beats him and scolds him, he will probably say something like "That's out of the question". It stands to reason that there is nothing special except that the black mist covers his face a little weird, but as Guo Changcheng slowly woke up, he just felt the unforgettable sense of fear.

    That fear was simply baseless and unfounded.

    But from the soul.

    Guo Great Wall finally understood why the ghosts in the corridor were like mice seeing a cat when they saw this person.

    "He came from the southern hemisphere, and it is winter in the southern hemisphere..." Guo Changcheng closed his eyes, and dared not look at the Soul Slayer again, desperately trying to convince himself with various scientific reasons.

    There were four people and ghosts in the office. The black cats that fainted were not counted, so Zhao Yunlan poured four cups of hot tea. Unfortunately, until the fragrance of tea filled the whole office, Lin Jing and Guo Changcheng didn't dare to go forward to fetch them, only Zhao Yunlan sat firmly behind the desk, and did not even stand up to greet the Soul Killer when he came in. His butt was so heavy that the whole office building was full of admiration.

    Zhao Yunlan didn't stand up until Soul Slayer An'an finished drinking a cup of tea: "Let's go, I'll take you to the interrogation room next door."

    The Soul Killer silently followed behind him, in the midst of the silence of people and ghosts, he said gossip like a commonplace: "I think the Lord's face is not good, probably because we are involved and tired for days, or more take care."

    Zhao Yunlan waved his hands lazily: "It's okay, I'm not exhausted from all night, but it's just right to go to the underworld to do chores, and then continue to work as a civil servant."

    The Soul Slayer disagreed: "Life and death are important matters, so please don't just laugh at it."

    Zhao Yunlan smiled heartlessly, didn't care, raised his hand and pushed open the door of the interrogation room.

    "Li Qian" who was locked in the interrogation room did not know when she had "awakened", and the harsh screams continued to come from the inside, but it stopped abruptly when the Soul Slayer entered the door.

    "Li Qian" saw the Soul Killer, like a mother who was strangled by the neck, trembling all over, staring at the door with an expression of extreme horror, after a while, she suddenly rolled her eyes and fell softly. down.

    Guo Changcheng, who had been following at the end, felt that something was rushing towards his face. He hurriedly took a step back, and the Soul Killer raised his arm in front of him. Guo Changcheng saw that the huge sleeve of the robe raised a black cloud in the air. làng, then a hazy ghost appeared in the air, as if it was a woman, with long hair and a tattered long dress, her face was deformed, twisted, and screamed, and it was crushed in an instant and turned into a A stream of black smoke was rolled into the sleeves of the Soul Slayer.

    "I'm obsessed, and I still try to seize the house, but I can be punished." The Soul Cutter said lightly, and the gentle and polite tone was the same as the greeting and thank you just now.

    This time, Guo Great Wall fought a solid cold war.

    Zhao Yunlan turned a blind eye and made a gesture of invitation. Four chairs were already set up in the interrogation room, and Li Qian was bound to the other side of the table with a pale face.

    Lin Jing took out a spray from her pocket, stepped forward, treated her beauty as a bone, and sprayed Li Qian's face with cold water without pity. Said: "Police, if I ask you something, answer the truth, otherwise you will be at your own risk."

    Li Qian's eyes were confused, and after shaking violently, her frightened eyes shifted to Guo Changcheng and Zhao Yunlan, and she recognized them. Just as she was about to speak, she found herself tied to a chair, and she lowered her head in fright. He glanced at the rope tied to himself: "I... what's wrong with me?"

    Compared with Lin Jing, Zhao Yunlan, who can be on TV as the official spokesperson, is much more pleasing to the eye and has a very gentle tone. He sat next to Lin Jing and asked Li Qian, "The murderer who attacked you and killed your classmates has been arrested. Come to justice, now we need you to assist the police to check the testimony and make a routine record, okay?"

    This battle is not like a routine record, but like a tribunal.

    Li Qian is not stupid. After she was stunned for a while, she quickly calmed down and asked defensively, "Then why are you tying me?"

    Zhao Yunlan raised his eyebrows and clicked his fingers. The rope on Li Qian's body fell off automatically like a voice control.

    The girl was startled by this hand, and then she raised her head with a feigned composure, accepted Zhao Yunlan's scrutiny, rubbed her wrist where the imprint was tied, and moved her body back involuntarily, bluffing: " Now that the murderers have been caught, what else do you want to ask me? I have already told you everything I know. What time is it? I want to go home."

    Lin Jing slammed the table with a "bang" and played the unreasonable bad police officer to the fullest: "If you want to talk, stop nonsense, what are you talking about, do you want to cover up the prisoner? What is your motive? What does it have to do with the murderer? "

    Li Qian was taken aback by this ferocious style.

    Lin Jing was fascinated, and Zhao Yunlan pretended to hold his shoulder lightly, and asked Li Qian in a pleasant manner: "At 10:20 p.m. on August 31, you met the victim Lu Ruomei at the school gate. Did you see it? The thing that followed her has been confirmed. The case is basically clear now, but I still have some questions. For example, when did you start seeing them? It used the piece of your hometown... engraved After the old sundial of the reincarnation plate?"

    Li Qian glanced at Lin Jing quickly, then the hero lowered his eyes without taking the loss in front of him, bit his lip nervously, and then nodded quickly.

    Zhao Yunlan tapped the table lightly with his slender fingers: "It is rumored that the reincarnation sundial is made of Sansheng stone, and the back is inlaid with the scales of the black fish in Wangchuan. Swapping dead people is like putting one of your hands into the huáng spring... Since then, in your eyes, the two worlds of yīn and yang have become superimposed things, right?"

    Li Qian's shoulders trembled slightly, she stared at Zhao Yunlan's fingers, and nodded again without saying a word.

    Zhao Yunlan leaned back and leaned back on the chair.

    "You are a good and filial boy." The man narrowed his eyes, his thick eyelashes and deep eye sockets made his eyes look a little hazy, Zhao Yunlan said in a sigh-like voice, "Countless people advertised the When the sundial of reincarnation is placed in front of you, how many of those who are young and young can really exchange their lives for their lives?”

    The Soul Slayer interrupted and said, "The reincarnation sundial is one of the four sacred objects in the underworld. It can disturb Yin Yang, and mortals should not use it."

    Li Qian, like everyone else, did not dare to look up at the Soul Slayer, but after hearing his words, she twisted her fingers together, and struggled to organize her words, saying, "I don't know what that is... I just heard about it. It's an old object that can manifest... At that time, she had a brain hemorrhage, and I was in school, and no one saw it. When people found out, the rescue had already been delayed. When I saw her, she was already... At that time my grandmother Not only living with me, my parents thought I was superfluous, she brought me up, we two depended on each other... What does it feel like to live with each other, do you understand? I can't even cry, and I can't believe her. It's gone, how can she die... how can people die?"

    "So you found the reincarnation sundial." Zhao Yunlan said.

    "I also think I'm crazy to believe in this kind of thing, but it really gave me a response..." Li Qian glanced at him quickly, then quickly looked away, and murmured, "IWhat are you afraid of? I'm still so young, maybe I can live to be a hundred years old. Even if I give her fifty, I can live to retire. I still have so many years left in my life, why can't I give it to her? If mortals don'tWhat should be touched, why is it right there? Why does it respond to my wish?"
