"Do you know where Bai Ran is?" Chi Shen added.
Xu Jiayuan answered automatically in bewilderment: "I heard it's in Mr. Bai's villa, the one at Liuyunpu."
Chi Shen nodded: "Thank you."
Then he looked at his mobile phone, typed the three words "Liuyun Waterfall" into the navigation software, and fell into deep thought as he looked at several available routes. He was no longer familiar with the port city.
Xu Jiayuan then saw a hand reaching out from Chi Shen's dark shadow. The hand was pale and slender, and it tapped on Chi Shen's phone. He suspected that he had seen it wrong, so he blinked hard and rubbed his eyes, and looked again, but this time he saw nothing.
Did he really see it wrong?
The black shadow with the broken hand reacted very promptly. He shrank slightly, as if trying to get farther away from there. However, the thing that bound him seemed to be still there, and he could not move.
Chi Shen reached out and handed the locust branch in his hand to Xu Jiayuan. Xu Jiayuan took it stiffly and came face to face with the black shadow brother with the broken hand. He couldn't help but shiver from the cold. The yin energy was too heavy and he could hardly bear it.
"Should I take him back?" Xu Jiayuan asked. He was actually a little timid. He was not sure if he could send a fierce ghost back to the Special Security Bureau by himself.
"No, I'll take him to Bai Ran to see, so he won't say I wronged him."
Xu Jiayuan was confused again: "How to bring ..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Chi Shen riding a bicycle and flying out. When he passed by the black shadow with the broken hand, he grabbed the black shadow's collar and ran away. Soon, only his back was left.
Xu Jiayuan: "Are you really taking it with you?"
Suddenly, he found that Chi Shen had dropped something. He looked down and took a big step back. It was a shadow! Chi Shen rode away on his bike, but he left his shadow behind!
"Wait a minute!" Xu Jiayuan shouted, but unfortunately Chi Shen could no longer hear him.
Why can people leave their own shadows behind?
Xu Jiayuan felt cold sweat on his face. Is Chi Shen really a human?
He thought of the detector that suddenly burned and the talisman, which didn't look like a human at all.
The shadow left by Chi Shen suddenly moved, and a hand stretched out from it. Xu Jiayuan did not run away. He began to search his body for all the useful things and took out his phone to make a call.
Soon, another hand stretched out, and the shadow shrank, and soon turned into a man wearing glasses. The man appeared translucent, and looked at Xu Jiayuan calmly: "Sorry, I scared you."
This sentence startled Xu Jiayuan so much that he almost dropped his phone. He finally managed to steady the phone, looked up at the man, and asked tentatively, "Hello?"
"Hello." Ji Xingchen also said.
Xu Jiayuan then breathed a sigh of relief. Wandering soul, it’s okay now.
Ji Xingchen looked at his relaxed appearance and said, "Mr. Policeman, I want to report a case."
Xu Jiayuan was quite familiar with this kind of thing. After all, there were also wandering souls who went to the Special Security Bureau to report the case. He immediately turned on his phone to record the conversation and asked, "Someone killed you? Could it be Chi Shen?"
According to the lessons he had taken, Xu Jiayuan knew that ghosts would usually follow the person who killed him, and this person came out from Chi Shen’s shadow... No way?
Xu Jiayuan thought of the way Chi Shen was examining the black shadow with the severed hand. He thought that he looked like a calm, rational and perverted villain. If someone told him that this was a murderer, he would definitely add the settings of a high IQ criminal beauty, etc.
"No," Ji Xingchen pushed his glasses down, "It's Bai Ran."
Xu Jiayuan was shocked again. He didn’t know what expression to put on and could only ask him blankly: “Bai Ran?!”
"Yes, I hope the police officer can conduct an investigation." Ji Xingchen said.
As an employee of the Special Security Bureau, although Xu Jiayuan is a bit naive, he did not let down his team at the critical moment. He immediately called his superior Yuan Yiping and sent him the conversation with Ji Xingchen.
Soon two cars from the Special Security Bureau came to pick them up. Ji Xingchen and Xu Jiayuan got in the car and headed towards Bai Hengqing's residence.
When a ghost reports a crime, it means a murder case has begun. The Special Security Bureau naturally takes it very seriously and directly calls Yuan Yiping to solve the case.
Chi Shen also knew that Ji Xingchen stayed, but he didn't know what Ji Xingchen was going to do. This was not something the two of them had discussed beforehand. He decided to go find Bai Ran on a whim and didn't have time to discuss it with Ji Xingchen.
But he felt that people always need some private space, so he could understand that Ji Xingchen wanted to do his own things. It might also be that Ji Xingchen didn't want to go to the Bai family, and he couldn't force him to go with him.
He was a little worried that Ji Xingchen was so weak, what if he was eaten by other ghosts outside? He just hoped that he could be more careful.
Chi Shen arrived at Bai Hengqing's house at lightning speed, but the Special Security Bureau's car was stuck on the road during the evening rush hour, so Chi Shen, who was riding a bicycle, was faster.
After registering at the gate, Chi Shen dragged the black shadow with the severed hand into the residential area. He did not ask Bai Hengqing where he lived specifically, but asked Gui Lian to take a walk around. The place that Gui Lian found most strange would be where he lived.
Soon Gui Lian came back and told Chi Shen that Bai Hengqing lived in the most remote and farthest single-family villa here.
On the way, Chi Shen met an acquaintance, the monster brother covered with tumors who had come to the old house to find him. The two greeted each other, and the monster took the initiative to lead him to find Bai Ran.
After passing two small woods, Chi Shen suddenly saw a villa.
Bai Hengqing's residence was very grand, a European-style house, and there were people guarding the door. Seeing this, Chi Shen sighed: "Is this how you make money by catching ghosts?"
"You don't understand this, right? They don't make money from catching ghosts," Gui Lian said with an experienced look, "When the rich start construction or open a business, they have to ask them to build a temple, choose an auspicious day, and check the feng shui. This is how they make money."
The tumor-covered monster also said, "If you don't pay, those places will be haunted, and you have to pay double the price to have them exorcise the ghosts."
"Forced sale?" Chi Shen touched his chin and felt that the Bai family was really good at making money.
The monster said, “That’s right.”
As he was speaking, Chi Shen had already walked to the door, but the monster stopped far away and did not come over.
"Aren't you going in?" Chi Shen turned around and asked.
The monster shook its head and hid in the shade of the trees.
The gatekeeper heard someone talking and came to check. He was startled to see Chi Shen standing at the door dragging a ghost in his hand. He immediately asked him cautiously: "Who are you! What are you doing here?!"
"My name is Chi Shen," Chi Shen smiled politely, "I'm here to see Bai Ran. I want to ask him something. Can you help me call him?"
"Chi Shen?" The gatekeeper looked at him suspiciously, then looked at the ghost in his hand and his expression became serious again. He said, "Throw away the ghost in your hand first."
"No, this is a witness." Chi Shen shook his head.
The gatekeeper said, "We can also help you deal with the ghost first. You can't bring this thing in."
Chi Shen raised his eyelashes slightly and glanced at the man guarding the gate. The man touched his face and felt that this expression was a little strange, as if there was a bug on his face.
Chi Shen raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Well, I'm sorry."
The gatekeeper immediately drew out the peach wood sword with his right hand, took out a talisman with his left hand, and looked at the black shadow in Chi Shen's hand, ready for battle!
Chi Shen walked over calmly and punched him in the face.
Gatekeeper: ???
Why don't you play by the rules?
