Chi Shen and Li Xu did not participate in the procedure. They sat on chairs in the lobby of the Special Security Bureau with a cup of hot tea each, waiting for Yuan Yiping to finish the procedure as they still had other things to do.

"Boss, we don't have to go to work tomorrow, right?" Chi Shen and Li Xu confirmed.

It's already four o'clock in the morning. If he has to go to work tomorrow, he will definitely resign on the spot!

Li Xu took a sip of tea. He seemed to be still thinking about something. He nodded and said, "Tomorrow can be considered a paid day off. Today is also considered overtime. Thank you for your hard work."

Chi Shen then happily leaned back on the cold chair in the Special Security Bureau, waiting for Yuan Yiping to deal with him.

"How did you know that?" After a long while, Li Xu took another sip of tea and asked.

"Just like that... I deduced it." Chi Shen looked outside the door of the Special Security Bureau. There seemed to be nothing there, but he knew that Ji Xingchen was waiting for him in that shadow.

When they were waiting for Yuan Yiping to come for support, several people were crowded in the security room. Li Xu felt that this matter would not be so simple. Chi Shen reminded him, and he completed it in his mind in an instant. What he said in the police car was the reasoning he completed with Chi Shen.

Li Xu: “For a moment?”

Chi Shen showed an unfathomable smile: "Actually, I am also a fan of mystery novels. I have all the works of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha. My favorite is the story on the train by Sherlock Holmes."

Li Xu: "Murder on the Orient Express?"

Chi Shen nodded: "Yes, it's Murder on the Orient Express. The plot in that movie where the protagonist takes the blame for the woman he likes is a classic."*

"Oh..." Li Xu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what it was at the moment.

"If we use detective thinking to expand our horizons," Chi Shen pretended to have glasses on his nose, and he pushed them up like Ji Xingchen, and continued, "Maybe all of this is a setup."

Li Xu instantly became interested and looked at him with sparkling eyes: "What game?"

"It all started on Halloween," Chi Shen took a sip of the slightly cold tea, propped up his chin with one hand, and pretended to think, "On Halloween, the ghosts also smelled something and chose to go out in groups, but there was a conspiracy behind all of this. They didn't spontaneously choose to go out on Halloween Eve, but someone told them that they could do whatever they wanted on that day."

Li Xu was listening nearby, looking confused and awe-inspiring: "Big conspiracy."

Chi Shen nodded: "When many ghosts appear, the Special Security Bureau will definitely investigate, but there are too many of them, so there will definitely be a shortage of manpower. At this time, the Special Security Bureau will not notice ordinary ghost pranks."

"Oh!" Li Xu suddenly realized. He had also heard Chi Shen talk about Halloween, or rather, he heard it when they were chatting in the car. "So that's it!"

"All this is for the construction site in Gangbei," Chi Shen turned to look at Li Xu, "Such a big move, is it really for the money?"

Li Xu continued what he said: "Maybe there is something in that piece of land?"

Xu Jiayuan, who had come out to say something to them, was nodding his head: "I see."

Chi Shen looked up at him: "Is the trial over?"

Xu Jiayuan finally came back to his senses: "It's almost done. A notice will be issued in a while, but only a few parties will know about this notice. The one issued to the public will be modified appropriately. By the way, Brother Yuan asked me to take you back."

Chi Shen looked behind him: "Where is my friend?"

Xu Jiayuan didn't understand: "What?"

Chi Shen smiled and said, "My friend, Zheng Ming, is the headless ghost. I want to take him away."

Xu Jiayuan seemed to be in a dilemma. He couldn't make the decision, so he could only go to Yuan Yiping. However, Yuan Yiping refused directly. He looked at the two of them and said, "The previous ghost face didn't have any blood debt, so you can take him away. But he was stained with blood, so you can't take him away. He needs to be dealt with accordingly."

Chi Shen asked: "What's the punishment?"

Yuan Yiping said: "If salvation doesn't work, just kill him directly."

Li Xu immediately became anxious and said, "Well, I'm a game company planner. The game I want to make is related to that ghost. Before the salvation, can I interview that ghost? That is Mr. Zheng Ming."

Yuan Yiping shook his head: "He is very dangerous, Comrade Li, you can't communicate too much with him. This time it was Chi Shen who persuaded him, otherwise I might not be able to deal with him."

"Is that so?" Li Xu looked a little disappointed. When Chi Shen said that the headless ghost was Zheng Ming, the victim of the Hong Kong City serial murder case, he felt that the new game had hope as he could directly interview the person involved. But now it seems that it is not possible anymore.

Chi Shen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then he started to laugh. He asked, "How do I save my soul?"

"We have a unified ritual on the first and fifteenth day of every month to help the ghosts who have been holding grudges for a long time to be liberated." Yuan Yiping said, "You don't have to worry about this."

Chi Shen continued, "What you said before can realize the ghost's obsession and dispel his resentment, which can also be regarded as salvation. Perhaps we can use this method to save Zheng Ming."

Yuan Yiping looked at the two of them with some suspicion.

Xu Jiayuan said at the moment: "It is also possible to follow the procedure, but it requires the accompaniment of the Special Security Bureau. Wait until the Halloween incident is over, and then go with them."

Yuan Yiping wanted to insist on something, but Xu Jiayuan added, "We still need Chi Shen's help."

Yuan Yiping nodded and said, "I will go with you guys after the Halloween event is over. You guys go back first. It's late. Go back and get some rest."

Chi Shen asked, "What do you need me to do?"

His tone was very friendly, as if he was just an ordinary person who was willing to help others.

Xu Jiayuan yawned on the side, politely asked Li Xu to leave, turned around and said to Chi Shen: "As for Bai Ran's matter, we separated the ghost that merged with Lu Xiangyang from Lu Xiangyang, and that ghost might also be a victim."

Chi Shen showed an interested expression: "Oh?"

Xu Jiayuan always felt that Chi Shen's expression was a little scary, but he couldn't tell what was scary about it. He could only attribute it to his own imagination. He continued, "But that soul is too broken and refuses to communicate. We all saw your ability to communicate with ghosts tonight. I thought you might be able to do it, so I talked to Brother Yuan and asked you to help communicate with that soul to see if you can find anything."

Yuan Yiping said: "We will do our best to protect your safety when you communicate. If you feel it is too dangerous, you can refuse."

Chi Shen laughed: "This is my responsibility, what time?"

——

In Bai Hengqing's house.

The exquisite porcelain was thrown to the ground by Bai Hengqing.

They had already known that the person sent to handle the work at the Gangbei construction site had been arrested. Bai Hengqing was so angry that he smashed the cup and scolded the people below him.

After venting, he looked at the people who came in and asked them, "Have you got your words right?"

The men nodded repeatedly, "That's right, he will just say that he picked up the things, and that he was just distracted and wanted to make money. It has nothing to do with us or Second Grandpa. We will then say that he was confused for a moment and is usually a good kid. He may have been short of money and couldn't think straight. No one was killed this time, and he will only be locked up for a while at most."

"That's good." Bai Hengqing sighed and sat down on the armchair, "You are all good children. I hope that no one of you will be missing."

In another part of Bai Hengqing's house, Bai Ximing woke up because of the commotion. He asked someone about the situation. When he heard Bai Hengqing was angry, he did not comfort him, but just listened. Soon, someone came to report the latest progress. Bai Ximing's eyes lit up after hearing it: "Was it Chi Shen who did it?"

"I don't know why Young Master Chi Shen showed up at that construction site." the man said.

"It's the middle of the night, and he's alone." Bai Ximing said gently, "We didn't have a chance before, but tonight he's alone. It's too dangerous. Let's find someone to bring him back."

——

After leaving the Special Security Bureau, Chi Shen and Li Xu both refused Xu Jiayuan's offer to send them back.

The reason is simple. If you drive like this and could die suddenly at any time, aren't you afraid of being on the news the next day?

Yuan Yiping and Xu Jiayuan did not force them and called an online taxi for them to leave.

Before getting in the car, Chi Shen specifically confirmed the license plate number. It was not the driver he knew. He felt a little regretful and he also wanted to know about the patient's follow-up.

In the second half of the night, Li Xu looked a lot more relaxed. The dark air that had been lingering between his brows disappeared, and he finally looked less haggard. The feeling that his neck was being strangled at any time was gone. However, after getting in the car, he only felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and he began to feel tired again.

However, Li Xu seemed to have already gotten used to this situation. He leaned back in the back seat of the car and took a nap.

Ji Xingchen and Gui Lian also returned to Chi Shen's side. Ji Xingchen asked him, "Is it solved?"

Chi Shen nodded: "Solved."

Then he felt a chill in his ears and saw the driver's puzzled look. He chose to remain silent.

The driver dropped Chi Shen off at the entrance of Tongfuyuan. Seeing that there was no one around, Chi Shen started to discuss with Ji Xingchen: "Can we switch? Don't touch my ears every time. It makes my ears itch all the time."

Ji Xingchen said: "I didn't touch it."

"So what did you use to make my ears feel cool?"

Ji Xingchen had already shrunk into his shadow and reminded him: "Go back."

The author has something to say:

*"Murder on the Orient Express" was written by Agatha, and the plot of taking the blame is from Keigo Higashino's "The Devotion of Suspect X". In fact, Chi Shenshen has never read it and is not a fan of mystery.
