Chapter 29 Acting

Lu Yingjiu dragged Fan Xin to the shore.

On the other end, Jing Xian threw Chen Qi aside like trash. Chen Qi passed out and lay motionless.

This guy Chen Qi asked God, the unique agility of the spirit ape, in just a few seconds after falling into the water, he loosened his seat belt and got out through the front window, without being caught with the car.

But after the monkey was pinched to death by Jingxian, he lost his ability and sank to the bottom of the sea like a stone.

Lu Yingjiu in the water hugged Fan Xin and winked at Jing Xian, only to reluctantly appease Jing Xian's murderous intention, and saved Chen Qi with disgust in the past.

Fan Xin leaned against the shore and coughed hard, piercing her heart, as if she wanted to cough up all her lungs. Her calf, which was caught by the monkey, was scalded, and a large piece of flesh was red and swollen, and it hurt to look at it.

Under the blue sky in the distance, the wind was howling, and more than a dozen cars were coming, accompanied by loud sirens.

On the way here, Lu Yingjiu informed the Green Lantern Festival and the Chen family, and the group of people finally arrived.

Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian were all wet, the sky was still raining lightly, and the sea breeze was icy cold.

Lu Yingjiu squeezed a piece of talisman paper, dried their bodies, and then looked at Jingxian.

The rain soon wet them again, and there were deep and shallow raindrops on their clothes.

A few drops of water slid down Lu Yingjiu's white cheeks and dripped on his chin.

He had just invited the gods, the characteristics of ghosts and gods had not dissipated on his body, there was still a strange color in his pupils, and even short ghost horns were born in front of his forehead, which were exactly the same as those on the head of the little black beast - if it wasn't for the wrong atmosphere, respect want to get started and poke it.

The two looked at each other.

Jingxian thought that Lu Yingjiu was going to mention what happened just now.

Just now, he was impulsive. Seeing the boiling water around the spirit ape, it was about to spread to Lu Yingjiu, and the ghost hand summoned was simply gloomy. Lu Yingjiu happened to be asking God again. It was the most sensitive stage, how could he not notice it?

No matter how outrageous the things he did before, there was no yin.

Completely different from this time.

He was a little disturbed.

Lu Yingjiu is also a ghost exorcist no matter what, what would he think of a ghost who pretended to be a ghost and stayed by his side?

What should he do, is it to confess, or...

Lu Yingjiu spoke, and he raised his chin into the sea: "your millionaire is in the water."

He was referring to the respectful Maybach.

"It's okay." Jingxian said, thinking that he was going to have a big problem.

The sea breeze blew their clothes.

Lu Yingjiu wiped the water droplets on his face with the back of his hand and smiled at him.

The smile has no meaning.

"It's finally over," he said.

...

To Jingxian's surprise, Lu Yingjiu didn't mention it for a long time.

Taking notes, finding traces, interrogating prisoners, and cooperating with investigations... Lu Yingjiu was so busy in those days that he returned to his days as chief in a trance.

When he gets busy, his schedule becomes extremely chaotic, and he relies on Jing Xian to maintain his three meals a day.

Jing Xian gave full play to the teaching achievements of New Oriental's teacher, Ghost, and came in different ways every day. No matter where Lu Yingjiu was, he could deliver meals in time.

While the other ghost exorcists were holding instant noodles, Lu Yingjiu was carrying a love bento, eating ingredients that were unpretentious and piled up with pure money. A burst of aroma wafted out, causing everyone else to see red eyes. There was a Jingxian sitting next to him, holding a drink and asking him which he would like to drink, hot or cold, and tell him what he wanted to eat.

After dinner, after a busy afternoon, Lu Yingjiu took a luxury car again - although he was too lazy to study, what brand did Jingxian change today.

Ye Feng was also shocked by this, and secretly pulled Lu Yingjiu and said, "That person named Jingxian is really an intern in your firm?"

"Yeah." Lu Yingjiu was drinking the grape juice Jingxian bought him.

"You pay him wages?"

"yes."

"How much is a month?"

"Six thousand."

"Six thousand?!" Ye Feng's eyes widened, "He is doing this kind of thing with a salary of six thousand, what is he trying to do? It's not for your money, but only for your sex."

Lu Yingjiu bit the straw and said casually, "Maybe the eldest young master condescended to come to me because he wanted to experience mortal life."

Ye Feng looked at the blue Pagani parked outside the door, hesitated again and again, and said, "Are you sure, you are not being taken care of by him?"

Lu Yingjiu almost choked, with a complicated expression: "Even if I'm down and out, I won't be able to be taken care of by others. And there's no one who doesn't have eyes and sees me."

Ye Feng glanced at him, thinking how could no one look at him, how much he wanted... and what was wrong with Jingxian!

Ye Feng said, "I'm looking at you now, like I'm looking at a watery Chinese cabbage."

Lu Yingjiu: ?

After more than ten days of contact, everything that should be checked has finally been found.

Jin Xiaoyang's death was done by a few of Chen Qi's cronies that day - they were worried that Jin Xiaoyang and Chen Minlan had been in contact, and only after knowing the information of the year, under Chen Qi's instructions, they made a ruthless attack.

Lu Yingjiu heard a fake cry for help in the Xiangdong bar and was tricked into that private room, which was also the work of Chen Qi. Since the day they met, Chen Qi thought he wanted to investigate the case, so he thought of putting the blame on it.

From the Sidong slaughterhouse to the Zhongli warehouse, they found an entire production line of human skin masks. Most of the people involved were Chen Qi's cronies, including the local triad. Although there are inevitably many fish that slip through the net, as long as you follow the clues and search slowly, you can catch all the participants.

Fan Xin said everything she should have said about the annihilation case.

She explained in detail the story of her and Chen Yanyan's exchange of identities, how she met Chen Qi, and how she put on a human skin mask and brought the ghost to the Lane East Bar.

Finally, the girl leaned on the back of the chair and showed a complicated smile: "This is the whole story. I didn't expect things to develop like this at the beginning. I just want to take revenge on Chen Yanyan and disfigure her, try it out. The feeling of being threatened by her family - she used to talk about it, and the most common thing she said to me was 'Fan Xin, if you dare to be caught by others, please let your family be careful, I am a member of the Chen family'."

She took a deep breath: "However, think about it carefully, Chen Qi told me that he would give me a mask to make me look good, which is also an important reason for me to agree. I am really envious, Chen Yanyan is beautiful and rich. I worked so hard to get into a good school, she just gave me some money and came in. Why do good things fall on her head?"

"But I really didn't expect that I would play her for so long."

Lu Yingjiu said, "Do you still think Chen Yanyan is beautiful?"

This time, Fan Xin was silent for a long time.

After arriving at Lu Yingjiu for a long time, she thought she would not speak.

Then she said slowly, "Well, I still think she's beautiful, and I still want to have her face."

"I want to have her life."

She smiled at Lu Yingjiu: "Am I hopeless?"

Lu Yingjiu also smiled: "Everyone actually has some hopeless parts. The only difference is, where is the bottom line."

This conversation ends here.

Before leaving, Lu Yingjiu took a last look at Fan Xin.

The young girl has a pointed chin, a plump forehead, and a few pimples on her skin, but she looks youthful no matter what.

"You know what," Lu Yingjiu said suddenly, "I think you're pretty too."

Fan Xin was stunned for a moment, then pulled the corner of her mouth, revealing a smile that she didn't know if it was true or not.

The truth was revealed, and Lu Yingjiu's suspicions were also washed away.

On the day the case was closed, Lu Yingjiu went to the hospital to see Chen Zheng.

He brought a bunch of orchids over and placed them by the head of his bed. There were also a large bouquet of flowers and a few baskets of fresh fruits by the bedside. The apples had a bright red appearance and were juicy and delicious.

The liquid in the infusion bottle is clear, and the data of various instruments are beating. Chen Zhengcai had done a few major surgeries, and was completely lethargic while lying on the hospital bed. When he saw him coming, he could only stand up reluctantly.

The two hadn't seen each other for many days. The last time they met was not a good look. Chen Zheng was forcing Lu Yingjiu to leave, but Lu Yingjiu directly called him a fool... went through so much in the middle, including the incident at the bar. so awkward.

If this time, Lu Yingjiu was going to unplug Chen Zheng's ventilator, it would be reasonable.

Lu Yingjiu didn't say much, just greeted him a few words and told him to rest well, then got up and prepared to leave.

Originally, he came this time purely out of the friendship between the two of them for many years. Speaking of this, it is already benevolent enough.

"Wait!" Seeing that he was about to leave, Chen Zheng reluctantly stood up again, "About the investigation..."

Lu Yingjiu looked back at him.

Chen Zheng took a deep breath: "The investigation is not groundless, I never fabricated any evidence. I really thought that you were related to the murder case."

Lu Yingjiu raised her eyebrows: "So what is that evidence?"

Chen Zheng's face was troubled.

According to the regulations, he absolutely cannot tell Lu Yingjiu.

Lu Yingjiu said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter, I will figure it out by myself sooner or later."

He opened the door and heard Chen Zheng speak again: "Do you have time the night after tomorrow? I'll have someone contact you."

...

Two days later.

Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian stood in front of the Blue Lantern Festival building under the night.

At the back door, there was a ghost exorcist sneaking around, looking around, pointing to himself and saying, "I'm Little Ning, and President Chen asked me to come."

He handed something to Lu Yingjiu's hand.

Lu Yingjiu saw that there were two black-bottomed work cards.

The black-bottomed work card has the highest authority. With it, you can go to almost all places of the Green Lantern Festival.

The exorcist took them to the elevator, all the way to the top roof.

He whispered, "You guys wait here first. There are still people in the evidence room, so it's not convenient. In ten minutes or so, they should get off work, and then I'll come up to you again."

Lu Yingjiu nodded, and the ghost exorcist went downstairs.

So there were only him and Jingxian on the rooftop.

From here, the city at night is full of bright lights. Looking down from such a high place, pedestrians are as small as ants, and all you can see is the constant flow of traffic, like countless glowing rivers.

Lu Yingjiu stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the entire Lujiang City.

As usual, Jing Xian stood by his side.

Lu Yingjiu was thinking about something, rubbing the longevity lock on his chest.

After a long time, he said, "Jingxian, you know that ghosts shouldn't stay in the human world. The word 'people and ghosts have different paths' doesn't come out of thin air."

Jingxian's heart tightened.

Lu Yingjiu was finally going to settle the bill with him.

Lu Yingjiu continued: "I don't know why you know me, but from my social circle, you can find the most suitable candidate for 'big dog' - I have known him since childhood, and we haven't been in touch for a long time, and we have not been in contact with him for a long time. We haven't met, and we don't have any other mutual friends. Even if I doubt you, I can't find anyone to testify against you."

"Besides," he took a deep breath, "from the very beginning of your contact with me, you have completely occupied all the contact methods of 'Big Dog'. I have no way to contact the real Big Dog."

Jing Xian listened silently.

He also had nothing to refute.

It is true that he borrowed this false identity.

Seeing that he was silent, Lu Yingjiu sighed inwardly and turned around and said, "To be honest, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jing Xian grabbed his wrist. Jing Xian took a half step forward, almost forcing him to cling to the floor-to-ceiling window. Lu Yingjiu retreated subconsciously, but was stopped by the glass, forced to raise his chin and look at Jingxian.

He saw those deep eyes, lit by thousands of lights outside the glass.

Just like the day when he first saw him, Jingxian looked at him with a bright light in his eyes, as if a thousand words were hidden in it.

Jingxian was too close, and their breaths blended together.

Jingxian whispered, "Then, Great Exorcist, do you want to get rid of me?"

Lu Yingjiu was stunned for half a second, then smiled and said, "If I really do it, will you obey me?"

His words were originally meant to be a joke, but when he saw Jingxian, he also smiled.

That smile, without the usual cover-up, was simply overflowing with evil spirits and extremely arrogant. Until this moment, Jingxian seemed to fully show the evil nature of ghosts, his eyebrows and eyes were very aggressive, and his eyes swept across Lu Yingjiu's face, from his eyes to his temples.

He put Lu Yingjiu's hand on his heart and said word by word, "As long as you want to kill, no matter how many times, I will."

Lu Yingjiu felt that his heart was beating.

After a few seconds, he lowered his eyes: "Don't talk about me like a pervert."

He withdrew his hand, trying to gently push Jingxian back to normal social distancing, but he didn't.

Jing Xian didn't give in an inch, kept his posture of pinning him to the floor-to-ceiling window, and still leaned into his ear and said, "I thought you would get rid of all the ghosts you saw."

This is also the attitude of most exorcists.

They believe in "people and ghosts have different paths".

What's more, Jingxian came here pretending to be his old friend, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he has bad intentions.

"What," Lu Yingjiu said, "do you really think that I will do it as soon as I find out that you are a ghost? Or maybe I might be prejudiced against you?"

Jing Xian looked at him silently, almost acquiescing.

For some reason, Lu Yingjiu suddenly smiled: "Then let me tell you a secret."

He took out his mobile phone and rummaged through the chat records between himself and Ye Feng.

Lu Yingjiu: [Call me, 138xxxxxx68]

Ye Feng: [Who? What did I say after I called? 】

Lu Yingjiu: [You said that you forgot to note this number, you want to see who it is]

Jing Xian frowned slightly.

That's really Big Dog's phone number. He figured out some tricks, anyone around Lu Yingjiu who called or sent text messages to this number would come to him - Ye Feng was no exception.

But he had no impression that Ye Feng had made this call.

Lu Yingjiu drew down the chat record again.

Lu Yingjiu: [Wait a minute]

Lu Yingjiu: [Forget it, stop fighting]

Ye Feng: [? Why is it so sudden, who is this?]

Lu Yingjiu: [It's okay, I changed my mind]

He also looked for Chen Xiaoling, but he didn't let her check in the end. He considered that if Jingxian was really fake, like the people around him, Chen Xiaoling or Ye Feng, they would definitely be guarded very strictly.

Lu Yingjiu opened another chat window, it was him and Little Li.

Lu Yingjiu: [Little Li, did you study abroad before?】

Little Li: [Yes]

Lu Yingjiu: [Can you help me find a friend out of town, it has nothing to do with exorcism]

Little Li: [Okay...Brother Lu, what's the matter with you?】

Lu Yingjiu: [I will send you my phone number, you ask that friend to send a text message]

Little Li: [Um, what is the content of the text message?】

Lu Yingjiu was actually hesitant at this meeting.

He didn't want that person to have any relationship with him, otherwise it would be meaningless, so he couldn't directly report the name "Lu Yingjiu".

He said: [Do you have any way to ask the location of this person]

Little Li: [I think about it...]

Little Li: [Brother Lu, I have a friend who happens to be involved in telecom fraud, do you think it will work?】

Lu Yingjiu: […]

Lu Yingjiu: [OK]

So Little Li went with his wonderful friend.

Lu Yingjiu turned the chat record to the next page.

Jing Xian opened his eyes slightly.

Little Li: [He got it right, the owner of this phone number is now in his hometown of Pinghua County]

Little Li: [He is also not surnamed Jing, his surname is Yao]

Little Li: [Hey, hey, I found out that I am still very talented at fraud, Brother Lu, is that enough?]

After a long time, Lu Yingjiu replied: [Enough]

Back in time, in front of the huge French window, Lu Yingjiu turned off the screen of his mobile phone.

On the pitch-black screen, Jing Xian's face was reflected.

Lu Yingjiu said, "So, it's not just you who can act."

Jingxian was silent for a long time, and after a while he said, "When did you know?"

Lu Yingjiu turned out the date of the chat.

August 24.

He smiled and said, "Your first day here."

"So," he looked up at Jingxian with a bright light in his eyes, "how could I possibly kill you."
