    Xie Jin turned on the hands-free phone, and Cheng Zaimin's exhausted but still anxious voice came from the receiver:

    "What's the matter, what's going on? Where is my family Xin Xin now? Thank you, brother, for your words!"

    "This...Brother Cheng, don't worry, this matter is a bit complicated." Xie Jin hurriedly winked at Ji Duan and Wen Liang for help. After all, if an ordinary person hears that his child may encounter a supernatural event, no one will come forward. It may be acceptable.

    Ji Duan understood Xie Jin's plea for help in seconds, and compared his lips to him: "Tell him that we have found that there is also a missing child at Tofu Zhang's house on Hibiscus Street, and let him explain the ins and outs of the missing child in detail."

    Cheng Zaimin was overwhelmed with a lot of things. If we asked in another way, at least we could avoid the supernatural topics that ordinary people couldn't understand. Xie Jin nodded and repeated to Cheng Zaimin in a low voice, and patiently calmed the other party's emotions. hang up the phone.

    I was completely in the mood for dinner, and two children disappeared one after another, which was a big deal. Xie Jin was helpless, not knowing what to do now.

    "Brother Cheng said that he has called the police, but so far there is no progress." After hanging up the phone, Xie Jin looked up and glanced at the faces of the two, "What should I do now, the child has been missing for nearly a day, and I am afraid of safety issues... ..."

    "The other party must have used unusual means to make the child disappear out of thin air without anyone noticing. The police will definitely have no clue about this."

    Wen Liang tore a piece of chicken from the food bag on the table, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed slowly, he was as lazy as usual, and didn't see any urgency.

    Wen Liang swallowed the meat slowly, not forgetting to drink his saliva and go down smoothly, "Do you have any good ideas?"

    What he asked was Ji Duan. Ji Duan didn't expect that this guy would throw the question directly to himself, and he frowned unconsciously, but he still calmed down and analyzed it seriously.

    "The incidents all happened on Hibiscus Street. There are two possibilities I can think of. One is that the criminal lives near there, so it is better to choose the child on Hibiscus Street. It may even be an acquaintance who committed the crime."

    "The second possibility is that the children on Hibiscus Street have some kind of unusual place, and the criminal's purpose is very clear. In short, Hibiscus Street is the key. At least this street can connect the only clues."

    "Yes, Hibiscus Street is the key." Wen Liang drank the last drop of water in the glass, and he turned over from the sofa when he was full, "So let's go."

    One second he was still lying on his side, and the next second he left as soon as he said it. The speed of the change was so fast that Ji Duan and Xie Jin couldn't react.

    Wen Liang picked up his coat from the ground, and asked unconsciously while putting it on, "What's the matter? Why don't you two pack your things?"

    "Let's go now?" Ji Duan felt that his temples were swelled and hurt, and he pressed a few times with his fingertips. He looked at Wen Liang who was ready to go at any time again, "Hibiscus Street is not a night market, and the stores are closed at this point. To what?"

    It is now 11:20pm. According to this time, it is the time when the night market is full of people, but Hibiscus Street is the kind of model that is open during the day and closed after a little later in the evening. It may be reluctant to go at this time. You can see one or two stores that are closing their stalls.

    "If you think about it normally, your thinking is not wrong." Wen Liang was already putting on his shoes, and he was neatly dressed in a Taoist robe, "But this is not an ordinary missing child case, so maybe we can find out some during the day at this time. Subtle clues."

    Ji Duan frowned and thought for a moment, the facts are indeed as Wen Liang said, if the person who abducted the two children was using some kind of power that cannot be explained by science to do things, then this time is indeed the only choice.

    This is the same as they search for spirits in the wee hours of the morning.

    "Then let's pack up our things quickly." Xie Jin dragged out the bag from the Jincheng Academy of Fine Arts last time, hesitating whether to dump all the things out, "This time I'm going out normally, are you going to broadcast live?"

    "Let's broadcast it. The child's disappearance is big news, and it's a local news in Tan Jiang. If we broadcast it live, it will only be beneficial and not harmful." Ji Duan grabbed the jacket that was thrown aside just now, sniffed it and threw it away again went back.

    "Uncle Xie, can you lend me another piece of clothing, that stinks."

    At twelve o'clock in the morning, the three of them took a taxi one kilometer away from Xie Jin's house. The taxi driver planned to pick up the car and go home. Passing through this old area where few people lived, they ran into two people standing at the intersection. .

    "Where are you two going? Are you going to catch a tourist bus with big bags and small bags?" The driver cheered up and enthusiastically greeted the two people outside the car to get on the bus.

    He didn't notice the pause for a few seconds before the shorter man got into the car, he just asked where he was going: "Where are you two going?"

    "Go to Hibiscus Street." Xie Jin tried to cover Ji Duan with his body, so as to avoid the supernatural phenomenon that the driver saw two people turning into three people through the rearview mirror again.

    "I'll sit in the front." Wen Liang consciously opened the co-pilot's door. It was really difficult for him to squeeze in with the two people behind him at a height of 1.9 meters.

    The driver this time is also a chatterbox, maybe it was the last order to go home in the early morning, and he also wanted to say something to cheer himself up.

    The radio in the car was playing songs from the 80s with electric sounds. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the driver took the initiative to say: "Hibiscus Street is good, the roast chicken tastes very good, but this place should be closed. Did you two go to work?"

    As he said that, he looked towards the co-pilot. The tall man with white hair and robes on the co-pilot was obviously a Taoist priest.

    "Yes, go to work." Wen Liang grinned harmlessly, he took out a small iron box from his arms, opened it, took out a card from it, and placed it gently under the front windshield.

    It was dark and there was no light in the car. The driver master managed to scan the writing on the card through the dim street lights on the side of the road: "Ghost hunting, fortune telling, naming."

    On the right side was also printed the words Didi Catching Ghosts, the door-to-door service. Only then did the driver realize what Wen Liang was referring to.

    The first half of the journey was uneventful, but when we approached Hibiscus Street, Wen Liang suddenly called out again: "Master, the news about your running a taxi is more widespread than ours. Is there anything strange about Hibiscus Street recently? Can you tell me?" listen?"

    "Bad thing? Haha... what could be bad?" The driver was obviously terrified by the sudden strike-up, and he tried to avoid the topic by laughing.

    "Do you really know nothing?" Wen Liang didn't intend to continue to embarrass the other party, he squinted his narrow eyes, and his gray-blue pupils were staring at the driver's face.

    "I just ran away. See what I can know." The driver didn't dare to turn his head to meet Wen Liang's gaze.

    He wanted to cry, but the Taoist next to him was really a master, and it was a midsummer night, and the air conditioner was not turned on in the car, so how could the temperature in the car be so cold?

    The driver blamed all of this on the ascetic's marvelous spell that cannot be explained by science, but the accelerator pedal almost reached the limit of speeding, and he really wanted to go home quickly.

    The ordinary taxi was driven out of the sight of a racing car, and it stopped not far from the destination after nearly half an hour.

    "Well, there are many dark alleys on Hibiscus Street, you two just follow this alley and walk to the end." The driver turned the meter over and glanced at the number below, "I will charge you less Starting fee, do you think so?"

    He said this to Wen Liang. In his eyes, the man in the back row who has been silent since getting in the car is most likely for this Taoist master's little follower.

    With just the right tone of discussion, Wen Liang glanced at the narrow dark alley in front of him, and waved his hands.

    "No, just as much as you want. It's not easy for you to drive a car in the middle of the night. It's only a few steps away from us."

    Wen Daochang was very generous once, he pretended to shake his sleeves, and waved his hands to bid farewell to the driver master: "Driving at night, the benefactor should pay more attention, especially..."

    Before the second half of the sentence was out of his mouth, he disappeared into the vast night with the wind and sand that was swept up by the taxi.

    "Hey, do I look like a bad guy?" Looking at the silhouette of the taxi fleeing away, Wen Liang turned his head to look at the two beside him, doubting again in disbelief, "Am I scary?"

    "It's not like a good person anyway." Ji Duan, who was sleeping all the way beside Xie Jin, yawned. He took the backpack from Xie Jin's hand and put it on his shoulder. While arguing with Wen Liang, he didn't forget to remind him, "Uncle Xie , how effective is the live preview.”

    "Oh, yes." Xie Jin took out his mobile phone from his pocket, handed over the power bank and turned on the live broadcast platform.

    His personal account has gained tens of thousands of fans, and it has only been less than an hour since his latest video was released, and the number of likes has almost soared to one million.

    It was a very short teaser video, the person who appeared on the screen was Ji Duan, Xie Jin clicked on the video, and the clear and clear voice of the youth sounded: "Good evening everyone, I am Ji Duan from the pioneer of spirit exploration, the place we are going to explore tonight It is the most famous food gathering place in Tan Jiang - Hibiscus Street!"

    The video probably introduces Hibiscus Street, and after Yukiduan said those dialogues that Xie Jin thought were pale and boring, they unexpectedly showed a different effect.

    This is probably the so-called appearance and everything, Xie Jin thought silently, staring at Ji Duan's face on the screen that was as good as a popular star, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Oh? Uncle Xie, are you looking at me?" Ji Duan had already taken out the Spike flashlight from his bag. He moved to Xie Jin's side, looked at the other party's phone carefully, and came to a conclusion after a while, "Well... I Still pretty photogenic?"

    "You can be photogenic now. In reality, which ordinary person can see you with the naked eye." Wen Liang teased tepidly, "Master Ji, earn money, I don't even have the money you owe me." Lee remembers."

    The two were bickering, with Xie Jinhu, who was filming with a mobile phone, in the middle. After the live broadcast started, they resumed their serious appearance to the outside world, as if the person who was mentally retarded to make fun of a primary school student just now was not them.

    The alley was dark and deep, and there were cold blue brick walls on both sides of the body. The quarrel between Ji Duan and Wen Liang just now could at least enliven the atmosphere. Now that the live broadcast started, everyone was silent, which made Xie Jin a little uncomfortable.

    The range of the Spike flashlight is very far, about tens of meters away, the front is no longer endless darkness, the pale light shines through Wen Liang's tall back, and shines on a dilapidated plaque above it.

    The plaque is still surrounded by old-fashioned neon lights, and the rusted iron plate has fallen off the slag, not to mention the broken and somewhat appalling broken bulbs.

    "Hibiscus Street..." Xie Jin murmured the three large characters above, "We're here."

    There are some small tricks out today, so few minutes behind
