    Chapter 27 Tempest

    Lu Yingjiu had been prepared for a long time, and he squeezed on his hand, and the black hair balls "wow-" appeared at his feet.Its round body shows great flexibility, jumping high, and hitting the chest directly with the coming.

    A muffled sound.

    The visitor groaned, and the sharp blade in his hand lost its aim. Seeing that he lost his balance completely, he was about to fall into a dog and eat shit when he landed, but in the air, every inch of his muscles tightened, and he made movements that were difficult for ordinary people to achieve: his figure was in a very strange posture, Turned around.

    It's like a cat adjusting its posture very quickly before it hits the ground. He landed steadily, propped up with one hand, turned around, and within half a second he rushed up to a shelf more than ten meters high!

    It's almost as flexible as a monkey.

    Lu Yingjiu snorted.

    In the brief confrontation, he did see each other's eyes, which shone faintly in the darkness - the pupils were yellow.

    The other party must have also asked God.

    And judging from his agile posture and yellow pupils, it was the spirit ape of the Chen family who was invited!

    It was the Chen family who fought against him.

    But if it was the Chen family who came to investigate, there would be no need to be sneaky. As soon as the flashlight was on, he would yell at Jing Xian and Lu Yingjiu, "Who are you! Hurry up and show up!" Capture these two thieves.

    Since the comer dare not speak out, there is only one possibility: he is related to the human skin mask!

    The man nimbly hid his figure in the shelf.

    Spirit Ape brought him amazing flexibility. There were so many clothes on the shelf, and the packaging bag would make a squeaking noise when he touched it, but he didn't make any sound. Not to mention the sound of rain, thunder, and wind mixed together, even if he has flaws, he can't hear it at all.

    Jingxian didn't know what to think, and reached out to touch one of the shelves—

    Then the hand was squeezed.

    Lu Yingjiu stopped him and whispered, "Don't take action, I'll do it."

    Jingxian: ?

    He felt disgusted for a moment, and felt a little hurt in his heart: "Why?"

    "This is a place with evidence," Lu Yingjiu said. "You are too destructive every time. I'm afraid that once you take action, the warehouse will be gone."

    Jingxian assured: "I can control it."

    "Oh—" Lu Yingjiu said, "Isn't this just in case, you still stay here obediently."

    Jing Xian still wanted to speak, but Lu Yingjiu poked his forehead lightly.

    Lu Yingjiu smiled and said, "It's not that I can't figure it out."

    As before, the poke was tingling.

    Jing Xian subconsciously touched his forehead and quickly compromised under the beauty.

    It's okay, he said in his heart, men must know how to give up the stage at the right time.

    Lu Yingjiu walked quickly into the darkness.

    The little black beast followed closely beside him, blinking silver-gray eyes.

    The spell of [Please God] is working quickly on Lu Yingjiu's body.

    Gradually, the outline of the object became clearer. The clothes on the shelves have a fluffy texture, and every strand of rain outside the window can be seen clearly, and the dust is flying up and down in the air. His five senses are clear, he can distinguish the sound of every drop of rain, he can hear the conversation of several gatekeepers outside the door, and he can hear Jingxian's breathing through the sound of thunder.

    In such a world, there is nowhere to hide.

    When he walked past the third shelf, he raised his head silently, and the talisman paper flew out of his hand!

    The man directly above was startled suddenly and nimbly avoided. But the talisman seemed to have eyes, passing through every gap with precision, approaching with a whizzing wind.

    The man was horrified for a moment: How did this man know his position!

    Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian both covered their faces. He didn't know who the visitor was at all, and he thought it was an ordinary ghost exorcist. Now it seems that the strength of the other party should not be underestimated.

    He squeezed a trick, and the small golden monkey appeared on his back, his eyes lit up, he used his hands and feet together in a strange posture, climbed through every compartment of the shelf, and escaped another twenty or thirty meters in the blink of an eye. Replaced three or four shelves.

    It's finally thrown away now, right?

    With lingering fears, the man was lying on the top of the shelf. Just as he was about to probe his head to look at Lu Yingjiu's position, he suddenly heard a voice from right behind.

    Lu Yingjiu's tone was teasing: "Why didn't you run away?"

    At this moment, the man turned over and stabbed the blade in his hand. This move is full of killing intent, and it is aimed at the heart.

    But his wrist slammed hard—

    Lu Yingjiu seemed to be holding his wrist loosely, but the strength was too great. The man only felt severe pain on his wrist, as if a muscle and vein was being pinched, his hand could not help but loosen, and the blade fell to the ground. .

    The blade was still shaking, and the man bent his knees and kicked.

    Although the power of the god ape is not strong, if such a kick, if it is unprepared, it will inevitably break a few ribs.

    However, he kicked empty.

    Lu Yingjiu's figure flashed, and he had circled to his right. He also grabbed the man's wrist and exerted a little force in an understatement.

    "Ahhh!" the man screamed. His wrist was directly broken!

    This pain is piercing. Originally, there was God's power to hold him down, so he wouldn't be completely helpless, but his fighting spirit had already been destroyed in this fight that lasted less than 5 seconds.

    He was dodged by flying kicks at close range, and the opponent was much more flexible than him.

    The wrist was easily broken, and the opponent's strength was terrifying.

    He can't match at all, this is... what kind of monster is this? !

    He has no fighting spirit, and only wants to roll off the shelf and rush out the door.

    Of course, Lu Yingjiu couldn't give him such a chance. He knocked a hand blade on the back of his neck, and the man tilted his head.

    Completely fainted.

    Lu Yingjiu lifted him with one hand.

    This man weighs about 80 kilograms, and he doesn't seem to be in the way now. In this way, he jumped off the shelf five or six meters high while carrying the man, and landed steadily.

    Jing Xian was already standing at the bottom waiting for him, Lu Yingjiu just came down, and there was an extra bottle of water in his hand.

    Lu Yingjiu: ?

    He had the feeling that he was in the school sports meeting.

    What worked hard to run 1,500 meters, and a girl who liked her came over to deliver water as soon as she went on the field.

    ...Although this "like your own girl" is a bit wrong, it doesn't quite fit the script.

    Lu Yingjiu glanced at Jingxian, not knowing how many times, he secretly compared the heights of the two.

    Still missing more than half of my brain.

    He said, "Where did you get the water?"

    Jingxian coughed, "I took it with you."

    In fact, he let a few kiddies go to the car to get it.

    After Jingxian handed him the water, he saw him throwing the man next to the shelf, and went up to take a look: "We've seen this man."

    "Yeah, I didn't expect it either." Lu Yingjiu said, "This is a surprise."

    This person just happened to bump into them, and if they want to change someone, they may not be able to find out.

    At the very beginning of this case, he and Jingxian tried to find Jin Xiaoyang—the one who first posted that he had met a supernatural old lady.

    In the end, he went to Jin Xiaoyang's building, but he didn't find anyone, but he met Chen Zheng's younger brother, Chen Qi. Chen Qi chatted with them all the way, and gave Lu Yingjiu a book before leaving. When they went downstairs, Jin Xiaoyang committed suicide by jumping off the building.

    At that time, the ghost exorcist who was with Chen Qi was the one in front of them.

    Lu Yingjiu said, "When the people from the Chen family see him, they will be very surprised."

    He took out a talisman.

    His eyes had completely turned silver-gray. The physical and mental burden brought by asking God is very heavy, and it must be lifted in time, otherwise it will be backlash.

    He held the talisman paper to release the invitation to God, and the little black beast reluctantly rubbed around his feet and disappeared.

    Lu Yingjiu said lazily, "Jingxian, can you tie someone up?"

    "Are you kidnapping him?" Jing Xian said, "I can only say that I have watched a lot of police and bandit movies..."

    For the next 10 minutes, Lu Yingjiu sat next to him and drank water slowly. Jingxian found a long rope from the warehouse and tied the man with five flowers.

    After the tie was finished, Lu Yingjiu stuck a talisman paper on the man's head.

    ——This time, even the gods can't escape.

    After doing this, he clapped his hands with satisfaction: "Let's go."

    He and Jingxian returned the same way and quietly went out through the back door.

    Before getting into the car, Lu Yingjiu flew out again with a piece of talisman paper.

    The talisman flew through the rain curtain and landed next to the warehouse. A few seconds later, a loud noise came.

    The loud noise was earth-shattering, and immediately attracted the attention of the guards. There was a loud voice, and a group of people rushed into the warehouse.

    There is no need for Lu Yingjiu to worry about the next thing.

    The Maybach started silently, left the dilapidated parking lot, and drove towards the end of the rainy night.

    In the car, Lu Yingjiu saw his silver-gray eyes in the reflection of the car window.

    Please God's traces have not dissipated.

    Every ghost exorcist will be affected in appearance when he invites the gods. If he abuses the power of ghosts and gods, he will be devoured and even lose his mind.

    Lu Yingjiu does not often invite God.

    He was born with bad luck, and since he was a child, he has seen too many things that ordinary people can't see, and he almost didn't live his childhood.

    This strange physique is reflected in various aspects, for example, the influence of asking gods on him is much greater than that of ordinary people. The time to ask the gods can't be too long to avoid backlash, and it will take a long time for him to get rid of the traces of ghosts and gods.

    In other words, he is closer to a "ghost" than everyone else.

    A few drops of rain flowed down the glass, condensing the lights inside the car.

    As before, Lu Yingjiu subconsciously rubbed the longevity lock on his chest.

    After a long time, he remembered the words of the master again.

    Although from various results, the master is a liar. But at least, the ghost marriage did solve his bad luck. Lu Yingjiu was dubious about the master.

    In addition to arranging the ghost marriage, the master also gave him a fortune-telling——

    Said he would die at 27.

    At that time, after the fortune-telling was finished, the master burst into tears and shouted: "This is really jealous of talents, and the way of heaven is impermanent!" He wiped away his tears and clung to Xiaolu Yingjiu's hand tightly, "I really feel sad for you, so I fortune-tellers. Can you give me the 200 yuan now?"

    Xiaolu Yingjiu disliked him with tears in his hands, and broke away from his hand. In the end, he didn't give a penny, and was talked about by the master for several days.

    Now Lu Yingjiu is 26 years old. Thinking about it, he is only half a year younger than 27.

    A thunderous thunder rolled over, and there was a loud bang between heaven and earth.

    "...what are you thinking?" Jingxian asked.

    "It's nothing." Lu Yingjiu regained his senses, shook his head, and said with a smile, "I'm just thinking that this world is amazing, and tonight was a coincidence, if we were 5 minutes late, maybe we wouldn't have run into that person. You and me too, after so many years, I didn't expect to meet you again."

    This time Jingxian was silent for a few seconds.

    He said: "Some people appear by chance, and some people are destined." He also smiled, "There is a reason for my appearance."

    Lu Yingjiu gave a "uh" and asked, "What are you doing?"

    Jingxian said, "For my everything."

    ...

    Day two.

    In the office in the early morning, Chen Zheng was furious: "How do you all do things! How did he sneak into the warehouse!!"

    In front of him was a photo of the man who was beaten by Lu Yingjiu last night.

    This person's name is Chen Lin, who used to be a staff member of the Sidong Slaughterhouse.

    "No, no, I don't know!" The junior Chen family in front of him shivered, "Maybe it's something, a very powerful talisman."

    "But you don't even know who knocked him out."

    The man stopped talking, and asked Chu Banyang next to him for help with his eyes.

    Chu Banyang sat upright, as well-dressed as usual, and his hair was specially styled.

    He said casually, "President Chen, let's talk about Fan Xin first."

    Chen Zheng's attention was really diverted, and he asked, "That girl will say it?"

    "Yes." Chu Banyang nodded.

    The peacock god of the Chu family, if he uses his abilities deliberately, will have a certain hypnotic effect on the human mind.

    Although the effect of hypnosis is not strong, it is even more difficult for the vigilant.

    From the very beginning, he used the power of the Peacock God to chat with Fan Xin and ask questions. He noticed that Fan Xin was not only wary, but also full of fear.

    Fear answers all his questions.

    So, after six or seven days of high-intensity questioning, coupled with the new evidence that the Chen family kept finding out, finally shook the girl's line of defense.

    Just this morning, sunlight poured in through the glass of the ward, and the voice recorder in front of the bed was working.

    In the bright morning light, Fan Xin said with trembling lips, "Yes...Yes, on the day of the murder case, I pretended to be Chen Yanyan and went to that bar."

    Chu Banyang asked, "How did the real Chen Yanyan die?"

    Fan Xin showed a weird smile: "The ghost killed her. Who told her to play some supernatural game."

    Chu Banyang asked again, "Who provided your human skin mask over the years?"

    Fan Xin tightly closed her mouth and refused to speak any more.

    When time returned to Chen Zheng's office, Chu Banyang said, "The case of extermination is a murder."

    Chen Zheng couldn't help sighing.

    Chu Banyang added: "Now the case has taken a turn for the better, I don't think it is necessary to continue investigating Lu Yingjiu on this case." He paused for a few seconds, "Also, he had enough resources when the murder case happened. The alibi. In fact, Lu Yingjiu and I handled the entrustment in City Z for two months before and after the case."

    Z City and Lujiang City are in the south and the north, and there are thousands of kilometers between them.

    That time was the only time that Lu Yingjiu entrusted Chu Banyang. The two of them met with several other ghost exorcists every day. They were so busy that they had no free time at all. Sometimes they all fell asleep on the table when they were tired, and they had to race against time to make a phone call.

    Back then, Lu Yingjiu was indeed listed as a suspect. But this powerful evidence directly freed him from suspicion.

    Chu Banyang is one of the witnesses. It can be said that he is the person who knows Lu Yingjiu's innocence best.

    Chen Zheng sighed heavily, his fat body slumped back on the chair, and said, "In the past few days, I have pulled back the hands of the investigators and concentrated on the study of human skin masks."

    Chu Banyang sat up slightly: "That is to say?"

    "In other words," Chen Zheng rubbed his browbones, "Xiaolu really has nothing to do with this matter. When we finish dealing with the matter at hand and find out the truth, we won't need to continue investigating him."

    So people have been busy.

    Until the night fell and it was getting late, Chen Zheng and Chu Banyang left the building.

    The driver drove the car and waited for Chu Banyang on the side of the road. It was late at night, and there were no other cars on the street.

    Chu Banyang and Chen Zheng said, "President Chen, you didn't drive here, right? Do you need to take you back?"

    "No need, no need." Chen Zheng waved his hands again and again, "My home is near, I've been exercising recently."

    Chu Banyang got into the car. The car started slowly, and he saw Chen Zheng riding a small shared bicycle on the street.

    Ride pretty fast.

    Chu Banyang: "..."

    After half an hour.

    Chen Zheng just finished taking a shower, and while drinking tea, he flipped through the documents on the table.

    As a prominent figure in the Chen family, he has actually been supervising the "human skin mask" matter.

    The last person who cared so much about masks was Chen Minlan.

    The old lady was upright and could not tolerate the slightest blemish in the family. Chen Zheng learned cloud weaving from her and inherited many concepts from her, and even hated the human skin mask.

    Later, Chen Minlan's family unfortunately died, and the others lacked interest in supervising masks. If Chen Zheng had been taking the lead, no one would care.

    But his persistence paid off.

    As soon as the matter of the Sidong Slaughterhouse came out, the bright and dark lines he had found in the past were all slowly connected. If you are lucky, you can find out everyone.

    Chen Zheng took a deep breath, took a sip of herbal tea, put on his glasses and continued to read the material.

    Human skins have been used in slaughterhouses for a long time, then that person must know very well the structure of slaughterhouses and may be one of the responsible ones. And over the years, that person has been providing Fan Xin with human skin masks continuously, proving that the production line has not been broken.

    There is still a trade in human skin masks to this day.

    That person is so talented, he must have a high status in the Chen family, and he was able to receive a lot of information at the first time.

    ... No, it's not just the information got at the Chen family.

    Back then, when the investigation of the Green Lantern Festival was so rigorous, that person must also know very well that the whole set of procedures and methods used by the ghost exorcist of the Green Lantern Festival could be avoided so perfectly.

    Chen Zheng frowned.

    It's been a while, why does he feel that this inner ghost is him the more he looks at it? !

    He turned to the records of the scene again.

    Cigarette butts extinguished in the slaughterhouse, and 45 yards of footprints.

    Knowing the slaughterhouse, has a high status in the Chen family, and has an inseparable relationship with the Green Lantern Festival...

    Smoking, size 45 shoes.

    Chen Zheng faintly felt that he thought of someone.

    But the thought flashed by so fast that he couldn't tell. His brain was aching, and just as he was about to think about it, the doorbell rang twice.

    Only then did Chen Zheng remember that Chen Qi said he was coming over tonight.

    Chen Qi is also a very busy person, and often turns day and night upside down, Chen Zheng is used to it.

    He opened the door.

    Chen Qi really stood outside the door and called out "brother".

    He wore a full black suit today.The temperature is sultry now, and even in the middle of the night, his outfit is out of place.

    Chen Zheng sighed and said, "It's really not the right time for you to come. I've messed up your thinking."

    Chen Qi smiled, the flesh on his face squeezed together: "You make a cup of tea, don't you remember?"

    "What kind of tea do you want to drink?" Chen Zheng asked, "Is Pu'er going to work? I don't have the heart to do it right now, so I can just make a living."

    He turned around and walked a few steps, but he didn't hear Chen Qi's footsteps following him.

    Chen Zheng looked back, and Chen Qi was still standing at the door.

    Chen Qi smiled and said, "Brother, do you want to have a cigarette?"
