Chapter 23: Sleight of Hand (1/2)



Lin Xi came back to his senses, looked at Qin Fen and Officer Xiao Hu, and said, "Tell me in detail what happened before he developed the symptoms."

Without hesitation, the two of them quickly told Lin Xi the whole story.

This matter was simple. Officer Wang Wei became ill after coming out of that alley, so they all agreed that this matter must be related to that alley, or even to the suspect, so they went to the alley to investigate that day.

But what surprised them all was that the courtyard was actually deserted.

The yard and the house were completely empty, with nothing left. It even looked like no one had lived there for a long time, with only dust left.

The group of people felt strange because Officer Wang had just come out of that room that morning, but it didn't make sense that he had escaped just a few hours later and cleaned up all the traces.

But no matter how much they refused to believe it, the facts were right before their eyes and they had no choice but to believe it.

"I went to check twice and didn't see anyone. I asked the neighbors, but they said they didn't hear any noise."

Officer Xiao Hu frowned.

Being able to move the house so quietly, it must not be done by the old man alone, maybe he has an accomplice!

It’s a pity that no matter how hard they hunted these days, they couldn’t find the old man.

He couldn't be found. Not only was there no progress in the missing woman case from a few months ago, but there was also no clue about the master's illness.

Hearing this, Lin Xi suddenly thought: "Is there a possibility that he didn't leave at all?"

What?

Didn't leave?

But they really didn't look for anyone in that yard. Could it be that all of them saw it wrong?

Seeing Officer Xiao Hu's puzzled expression, Lin Xiyu said, "If it's convenient, please take me over there now."

Of course there is no problem taking her there, but...

"Sister Lin Xi, what about my master?"

Lin Xi almost forgot about Officer Wang. She was so focused on finding the person who cast the curse.

With a light cough, she took out the folded triangle talisman from her bosom, released the ghost inside, and said to him, "Go and swallow that Yin Gu."

The ghost sealed by the talisman was the one she had taken back from Wu Bin two days ago. She had originally planned to send him to reincarnate along with the other ghosts on the street, but after seeing the beauty of modern life, this ghost decided not to reincarnate.

He said that he would rather wander around as a lonely ghost, because he almost killed Wu Bin before. Naturally, Lin Xi would not let him wander around outside, so he continued to seal him in the talisman paper as a punishment for him.

Being released inexplicably, the ghost was still confused, and then he obeyed Lin Xi's instructions.

He was a ghost, so he could naturally see the Yin Gu lying on Officer Wang's body and constantly sucking his energy, and he immediately revealed an expression of disgust.

But no matter how much he disliked it, he didn't dare to challenge Lin Xi. Besides, this kind of evil thing could actually improve his cultivation.

So he could only suppress his nausea, walk forward, pick up the Yin Gu, and then put it into his mouth with his eyes closed and ready to die.

Crunchy.

You know what, it’s quite delicious!

Seeing that he had eaten the Yin Gu, Lin Xi took him back into the talisman paper.

On the other hand, Qin Fen and Officer Xiao Hu, who were standing next to him, felt their hearts pounding as they watched Lin Xi mutter to himself.

Could this be a conversation with something they can't see?

"Okay, Officer Wang's problem has been solved for now. Aunt Qin, if you have time later, you can push him downstairs to bask in the sun."

The sun is the most yang thing and can dispel the remaining yin energy in Officer Wang's body.

"Ah, ah, okay, okay."

To be honest, Qin Fen was still a little bit unconvinced. In just one minute, her husband's problem was solved?
