"The same dream? Is it a coincidence?"
Xu Qi 'an thought of the Witchcraft Cult, which had the ability to enter dreams and invade Zhu Guangxiao's and Song Tingfeng's dreams.
This was a very simple reasoning.
What Xu Qi 'an couldn't figure out was why the people of the Witchcraft Cult wanted to ask about Liang Youping's whereabouts in their dreams.
"Isn't Liang Youping a member of the Qi Party? Isn't the Qi Party colluding with the Witchcraft Cult? They shouldn't be together."
"What's wrong with you?"
Song Tingfeng noticed that his colleague's expression was not right and asked with concern.
"I'm eating a thousand-layer cake …" Xu Qi 'an murmured.
"What do you mean? Do you want to eat a cake?" Zhu Guangxiao waited for his reply. If Xu Ningyan answered yes, he would ask the courier to prepare a midnight snack.
Xu Qi 'an didn't answer, but left the room and knocked on the door of a Yinluo next door.
"Zhao Yinluo, did you sleep well last night?" Xu Qi 'an asked.
The Yinluo surnamed Zhao looked at him unhappily and replied, "I'm fine as long as you don't disturb me."
"Did you have a dream?"
"… How did you know?" Zhao Yinluo was surprised.
Xu Qi 'an suddenly looked serious and eagerly asked, "What did you dream about?"
"I dreamed of a little girl from the Musical House. Alas, I've been in Yunzhou for so long, but I haven't even touched a woman's hand. It's so hard … "
"Sorry to bother you. Goodbye!"
He knocked on the gongs and the doors of the Stalwart Tiger Guards, pulled out a dozen people, and found that they didn't have a dream. In the entire station, only Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng were interrogated in their dreams.
"It's so pitiful. Not only did I get Susu's PTSD, but I was also interrogated in a dark room in my dreams."
"All the bad things happened to me …" Xu Qi 'an looked at his two colleagues with pity again.
"Your eyes make me very uncomfortable. If you keep looking at me like this, we can't be brothers," Song Tingfeng said in a low voice.
"We are father and son."
After saying that, Xu Qi 'an saw that Song Tingfeng was about to beat him with a stool, so he hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Go away, I want to be alone."
"What happened?" Zhu Guangxiao asked.
"Give me some time to think." Xu Qi 'an waved his hand.
Only Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng were interrogated in their dreams, and they were still asked about Liang Youping's whereabouts … Obviously, the reason was that we had gone to the black market and obtained the account book from Liang Youping … As for why I wasn't interrogated, the reason was very simple.
'No, no, my brain is getting more and more tired. I can't handle everything by myself. I have to drag Inspector Zhang and Jiang Lvzhong along with me to think about it …' Xu Qi 'an immediately went out to look for Inspector Zhang.
When he passed by the room where Yang Chuannan was imprisoned, Li Miaozhen happened to come out with Jiang Lvzhong, followed by the beautiful female ghost, Susu.
She had just "visited" Yang Chuannan.
"General Li, are you leaving?" Xu Qi 'an walked up to him.
Li Miaozhen nodded. Although the case was complicated, Yang Chuannan still had a chance of survival since the inspector had promised to do his best to find the truth.
She came to the station to ask for this chance of survival. She did not want to make friends with Yang Chuannan in vain.
Including letting the Flying Swallow Army into the city, it was also a bargaining chip. She did not really want to perish together.
"Heh, I'm afraid you can't leave!" Xu Qi 'an said mischievously.
Li Miaozhen was stunned. She squinted her eyes and looked at him.
Susu scolded and shouted, "Master, this guy wants to harm you. Susu will help you beat him up."
After saying that, she was about to spray Xu Qi 'an with "salt soda water". However, before she could spit out Yin Qi, she was stopped by Li Miaozhen.
"You just want to take the opportunity to take revenge." Li Miaozhen glanced at her and turned to ask, "What's the matter?"
"Don't be in a hurry to leave. The second half has started. I just got some new clues." Xu Qi 'an pinched between his eyebrows.
Jiang Lvzhong raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "What did you think of?"
The three of them entered Inspector Zhang's room. Inspector Zhang was almost fifty years old. He was considered a bag of old bones. However, due to the existence of the Celestial Commissioner, the scholar-bureaucrats in this world had a longer lifespan. Just like Xu Qi 'an in his past life, they could enjoy a long life like cancer.
Inspector Zhang was about to sleep, but he had to get up and put on his clothes helplessly.
He then ordered his servant to open the door.
"It's late at night. What matter can't you discuss tomorrow?" Inspector Zhang pinched between his eyebrows. "I'm just an ordinary person. I'm not as energetic as you Warrior."
Li Miaozhen retorted subconsciously, "I'm not a Warrior."
Xu Qi 'an and Jiang Lvzhong gave her a sidelong glance' coldly '.
Inspector Zhang waved his hand and said in an impatient tone, "If you have something to say, then say it. Then get lost."
Scholars were very particular about health. Staying up late was simply a waste of life.
Li Miaozhen and Jiang Lvzhong looked at Xu Qi 'an at the same time.
Damn, it's this brat again … Inspector Zhang looked at Xu Qi 'an helplessly.
"There's something I think I should let you know."
Xu Qi 'an who was being watched by the three of them slowly opened his mouth and told them about Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao being interrogated in their dreams.
"That's right. It's the Witchcraft Cult's method." Jiang Lvzhong gave an affirmative answer.
Li Miaozhen also nodded. Then, she looked at Xu Qi 'an. "The reason you didn't get interrogated is because you didn't sleep when you were trying to break through to the God-Refinement State?"
"Yes."
"The Witchcraft Cult is also looking for Liang Youping?" Inspector Zhang tried his best to digest this news. For a moment, he was a little confused. "Isn't Liang Youping a member of the Qi Party?"
The Qi Party and the Witchcraft Cult were on the same side.
Li Miaozhen looked at the candlestick. The bean-like candlelight was dazed for a moment. "Could it be that we guessed wrongly? Liang Youping isn't a member of the Qi Party, and he didn't give us the account book to frame Lord Yang?"
Jiang Lvzhong felt a headache. If that was really the case, the case would be too complicated.
"The information that Liang Youping is a member of the Qi Party was told by you. We didn't guess it." Xu Qi 'an glanced at her and said again.
"Moreover, if Liang Youping isn't a member of the Qi Party, then a lot of logic doesn't make sense. Personally, I'm more inclined to believe that he is a member of the Qi Party. There's nothing wrong with our previous deduction."
"Then how do you explain the Witchcraft Cult is looking for him?" Li Miaozhen frowned.
… This lady's IQ is only at the level of an ordinary person … Although she's not stupid, she's not too smart either … If only Huaiqing was here, then my pressure would be reduced a lot … Number Four is also fine. Number Four is a person who is good at thinking …
The four of them discussed for a while, but there was no new information for the time being. Inspector Zhang was a little tired. Moreover, he had to go to the Commander's Office the next day, so it was not suitable for him to stay up late. Jiang Lvzhong and Li Miaozhen were not good at deduction. Xu Qi 'an's brain was about to explode.
He could only give up for the time being and talk about it another day.
"Sir Inspector, I'll rest here tonight." Li Miaozhen made a request.
Inspector Zhang agreed readily. The relay station was the headquarters. With Jinluo's silver gong keeping watch, he was not afraid that Li Miaozhen would do something unwise.
Li Miaozhen took a deep look at Xu Qi 'an.
…
Back in the room, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao were still there. They were meditating with their legs crossed.
"Why didn't you two leave?"
"We're waiting for your news."
"No news. Get lost, get lost. Go back to your room to practice your Qi. Remember not to sleep at night."
After chasing away his two colleagues, Xu Qi 'an carried the wooden tub downstairs. He took a cold bath in the bathhouse and immediately felt much more refreshed.
She reached out to pull the towel, only to find that it was gone.
"Are you looking for this?" A sweet voice came from behind him. A hand stretched out. A white and tender arm was revealed from the white wide sleeve.
"Miss Susu, men and women should not touch each other." Xu Qi 'an did not take the sweat towel. He did not turn his head either. He was a little angry.
It was not because he felt shy because there was a woman watching him when he was bathing. It was because a certain paper doll could be seen and touched, but it could not be grass (a type of plant). But the paper doll did not have any self-awareness. It just had to appear at this time.
"Men and women should not touch each other?"
Susu, who was wearing a white dress, moved to the side of the bathtub. Using the faint moonlight that shone in through the window, she lowered her head and looked at the clear bottom of the water.
"I don't like bean sprouts."
Xu Qi 'an threw the sweat towel into the water as a mosaic to block the aggressive gaze of the female ghost. He said lightly, "Miss Susu, have you heard of this saying?"
Susu tilted her head and looked at him.
"The testicles are too cold."
"It's too cold at the top?" Susu did not understand what he was trying to say.
"In this world, it's also too cold at the top … Well, homophonic jokes can be arrested and put in jail …" Xu Qi 'an lost interest in teasing the female ghost. He said impatiently,
"If you have something to say, say it. I've been soaking in the cold water for a long time. I'm going to catch a cold. "
"Can Mortal Qi Realm warriors also catch a cold?" Susu giggled and sat on the edge of the bathtub. Her eyes were bright.
"What you said before, is it true? You didn't lie to me?"
Xu Qi 'an knew what she was talking about. He immediately said, "Of course, I'm a man. I mean what I say. Do you want to elope with me? "
"What do you mean elope? That's so unpleasant." Susu's voice was soft. She rolled her eyes at him and bargained, "I can do three things for you in exchange for a body, okay?"
You're just a weak female ghost. What can you do for me? You just want to sleep with me for free. Bah, a woman!
Xu Qi 'an refused immediately, "No."
"I'm begging you, okay?"
"Even if you use your charm on me, I won't fall for it."
"Oh, you'd better look at it first before saying that."
"… Okay, but I don't want you to do three things for me in exchange. If you have a new body, you can be my concubine for a few years. "
This was nonsense. Because Song Qing didn't have this skill. He talked to her about a body purely to trick her to go back to the capital with him.
"I'm still a virgin." Susu said shyly.
"Yes, every time you change a paper doll, you're still a virgin." Xu Qi 'an said.
"I'm not dead yet." Sitting on the edge of the bathtub, she looked down at the beautiful face reflected in the water and sighed.
"When I was alive, I was the daughter of a rich family. That year, when I was eighteen, my father told me about a marriage. My future husband was a scholar. He was handsome and courteous. I happily waited in the boudoir for him to marry.
"But in the spring of the next year, my father was involved in a big case and was beheaded by the dog emperor. The women in the family were supposed to work in the Musical House. My mother didn't want us to live and be humiliated, so she cooked a pot of chicken soup mixed with arsenic …
"I remember that I had a younger brother who happened to be studying abroad at that time and escaped. After I died, my obsession lingered in the mass grave for several days. When it was about to dissipate, I didn't expect to meet a master in Tenzō. He said that I was a one-in-a-million charm and took me in.
"I stayed in Tenzō for more than 20 years and watched my master being carried up the mountain to be fed. I grew up little by little …"
Xu Qi 'an was listening with great interest. Suddenly, he found a point and his voice became sharp. "What? You've been dead for more than 20 years! "
Susu straightened her chest and said, "In terms of age, I can be your mother."
"Mother!"
"… You're really shameless." Susu was a little shy. Before she died, she was still a virgin. Although after she became a ghost, she was often instructed by her unscrupulous master to seduce men. But at most, she was coquettish. After all, ghosts didn't have a physical body.
Kilometers were all imaginary.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"I have two long-cherished wishes. One is to see my younger brother again. I hope to see him with my flesh and blood, just like in the past. The other is to investigate the case that father was involved in. "
In the bathtub, the cold water rippled, reflecting the moonlight and swaying on her face.
Xu Qi 'an had a long-lost feeling. It was the kind of feeling that all men would have when they saw a stunning beauty. To be more precise, it was the agitation of hormones.
"What? Is your father being framed? Then follow me. If you follow me, I will help you investigate the case. Is there anyone in the world who knows how to investigate better than me? "Xu Qi 'an felt that this female ghost had eyes but could not see.
"I don't remember." Susu shook her head. "I can't remember anything about what happened in the past. I don't even know why my family died. "
"After all, it's been more than 20 years."
Susu shook her head again. "Master's master invited an expert from the Magus system to read my fortune, but he didn't get anything. The fortune-teller said that it had something to do with the Celestial Commissioner. "
There was too much information in this sentence. Xu Qi 'an was stunned for a long time.
Li Miaozhen's master knew someone from the Witchcraft Religion? Well, the wizard might not be from the Witchcraft Religion. He might be a rogue cultivator … The sixth level of the wizard system was good at telling fortunes, so the sixth level wizards were also called fortune-tellers … How could a female ghost be related to the Celestial Commissioner?
Wait, the fortune-teller was good at telling fortunes, so why didn't he tell where Liang Youping was, but Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao?
"Hey!"
Susu puffed her cheeks angrily. "I'm talking to you."
Xu Qi 'an frowned. "I'm listening."
Susu curled her lips. "Anyway, that's it. If you can create a fresh body for me, I don't mind being your concubine. If I'm in a good mood, I can even give you a big fat boy. "
"Buy one get one free, thank you." Xu Qi 'an rolled his eyes.
…
Finally, he drove Susu away. Xu Qi 'an felt a little guilty about lying to the ghost. After all, he made her happy for nothing.
However, he decided to make it up to Susu in the investigation. After returning to the capital, he would do his best to investigate the case.
"Men who are too soft-hearted will always end up worse off." Xu Qi 'an sat cross-legged on the bed. He planned to relieve his fatigue through visualization and breathing and pull himself back from the edge of sudden death.
But at this moment, his heart suddenly palpitated and he almost died on the spot.
"Fuck …" Xu Qi 'an cursed and took out a small jade mirror from under his pillow.
[Two: Sorry to disturb you so late at night. I'm in some trouble in Yunzhou and want to ask for help.]
… Although Number Two is not an extremely intelligent girl, she knows how to use the resources at hand … Other than Number Five, everyone else in the Earth Book chat group has a pretty good IQ. Even Master Hengyuan, who has a deep grudge against him, is actually a smart person … If it weren't for my identity, students of Yunlu Academy shouldn't know the details of the case in Yunzhou. I would have long sought help from members of Heaven and Earth Association through the fragments of the Earth Book … Xu Qi 'an only wanted to say: Number Two, well done.
