It was almost noon when Chi Shen had finished the head and body. He made many fine adjustments according to Sheng Yulan's, which slowed him down a lot. However, in order to facilitate future use, the preliminary preparation work was necessary.
While he was concentrating on bandaging his arm, his cell phone suddenly rang. Chi Shen took a look and saw that it was a transfer message, indicating that 100,000 yuan had been deposited into his bank account.
In addition to the payment notification, there was also a text message: The weather is cold, and you are holding the flowers. It is my fault for not considering your feelings. I apologize to you.
Obviously, this was the money Xu Xiuyun transferred to him.
It's not surprising that Xu Xiuyun has his bank card number. He once gave Bai Ximing his card number to help an old man who fell at an intersection to get money.
Chi Shen ignored the text message and continued to concentrate on piercing the paper man's arms.
As he turned around, the phone suddenly rang. He took a look and saw that it was Xu Jiayuan calling.
Chi Shen still didn't stop what he was doing. He pressed the hands-free button and heard Xu Jiayuan's voice: "Did I bother you? Are you awake? The Gangbei construction site case is almost closed."
This comrade from the Special Security Bureau seemed to have not rested on the weekend, as he was called on Saturday to inform him of the situation.
"No, you say." Chi Shen said briefly, and the bamboo strips in his hand made a circle, and he had already pierced his wrist.
"He insisted that it was his own idea to kill himself. He only said that he picked up the axe at the Bai family's old house and knew nothing else. We can only convict him of extortion and possession of dangerous goods," Xu Jiayuan said, his tone sounding a little unwilling. "But we learned from the headless ghost Zheng Ming that he had lived in the Bai family's old house for a long time, but when we asked the Bai family, they said they didn't know. This is obviously related."
Chi Shen was not surprised by this result. As long as the man at the construction site admitted everything, the Bai family would not be in danger. The Special Security Bureau would not be able to find out anything. Even if they entered the Bai family's old house, they would not find anything.
The Bai family had already prepared to deal with these matters.
"Zheng Ming, when do you plan to perform the ritual of salvation?" Chi Shen asked.
Xu Jiayuan said, "I asked for you. Once the sentence is determined, the soul-saving operation should be carried out. This kind of ghost is too dangerous and cannot be kept for too long. It is too dangerous. It should be next month."
Chi Shen lifted up his bandaged arm, took a look, and made some minor adjustments: "It's troublesome."
"It's okay," Xu Jiayuan said, "And the incident with Bai Ran was very strange."
Chi Shen put down his arms and started to make paper figures' hands. Hearing this, he asked, "Why is it strange?"
"I don't know how to explain this matter," Xu Jiayuan seemed to think about it, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "There are some things I can't tell you, but what I can say is that some ghosts that were not eaten disappeared."
Chi Shen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Gone?"
"Anyway, you should be careful. We all guess that someone is cleaning up Bai Ran's mess," Xu Jiayuan continued. "There are some ghosts. Even the day before we went there, the residents around here said there were ghosts. But the night we went there, they disappeared. It seems like someone doesn't want Bai Ran to be convicted."
The more Xu Jiayuan spoke, the more he sounded confused. "But there's no point in doing this. Bai Ran will definitely be sentenced to death. We went to find the victims just to give them justice. I don't know what those people are doing to clean up the mess. Are they afraid that we'll find out more?"
"It's possible." Chi Shen said calmly.
Xu Jiayuan began to grit his teeth as he spoke: "I think it's the Bai family again. It must be the Bai family who did these things. Bai Ran must have done a lot for the Bai family, so most of the victims have interests related to the Bai family. The Bai family went to clean up the mess in order to avoid being found out."
Chi Shen laughed when he heard this: "Why do you suddenly think it's the Bai family?"
Xu Jiayuan said: "My parents told me since I was a child that the Bai family is not a good person, and told me to study and work hard. However, too many things recently pointed to the Bai family, and the Bai family tried to clear themselves of all charges. This is too strange."
Chi Shen smiled and used a knife to separate the bamboo strips. He separated the bamboo strips into thin silk strips, preparing to make a pair of delicate hands.
"Luckily you didn't go back to the Bai family," Xu Jiayuan breathed a sigh of relief for Chi Shen on the other end of the phone, "otherwise they would have eaten you to pieces. I heard they still want you to go back. You must not go back, even if it's for emotional appeal or money. It's just a den of thieves."
"Are you investigating the Bai family?" Chi Shen suddenly asked.
Xu Jiayuan paused, and he said after a while: "Although we all suspect this, we have no evidence. In addition, we are really short of manpower recently. We found the den of the Halloween incident in Dongshan Park. When we went there, we only dealt with some minions. The boss ran away. We are still looking for where this boss went. If we let him go, he will definitely cause harm to the people."
Chi Shen roughly understood what the situation was. In other words, the Special Security Bureau was being tied down.
The two talked a little more about Chi Shen's case. Xu Jiayuan once again told Chi Shen to be careful. He called today mainly to talk about this. The Bai family was dealing with the aftermath of Bai Ran, and Chi Shen might be affected, so Chi Shen had to be extra careful recently.
After hanging up the phone, Chi Shen finished dividing the bamboo strips. His hands were too complicated, so he decided to have a meal before continuing. He washed his hands first, then picked up his phone to transfer the money that Xu Xiuyun had transferred to him, and then went to eat.
A moment later, his cell phone rang with a text message: Shen Shen, don't hate your mother. I still care about you. After all, you are my biological son.
Chi Shen didn't pick it up to read it, and Ji Xingchen simply deleted the text message as spam for him.
After dinner, the second-hand tablet computer that Chi Shen bought arrived. He gave it to Bai Wan and assigned Bai Wan and the red-clothed female ghost a very important task: "When you have free time, study the makeup video."
Chi Shen looked at his paper figurine, which had already taken shape, with a thoughtful expression, and then said with some pain: "I only know how to draw makeup for the dead."
Bai Wan and the red-clothed female ghost were looking at the tablet curiously. At this time, Ghost Face volunteered and rushed out: "I know how to do this! I've seen others use it!"
Chi Shen lifted him back and pointed at the water on TV: "Keep going, don't relax."
Gui Lian had no choice but to continue watching TV in agony. It was he who suggested continuing the salvation. He felt that Chi Shen had given up on him and he could not give up on himself, so he proposed to Chi Shen that he could definitely hold on until the day of his salvation. Thus, he regained the right to watch the drowning scene every day.
Well, except that he now feels like vomiting when he sees drowning scenes, he feels that he hasn't changed at all.
After explaining to Bai Wan how to use the tablet computer, under the curious gaze of the red-clothed female ghost, Bai Wan began to watch...a documentary.
She knows too little about today's society, so Chi Shen plans to let Bai Wan see what changes have taken place in the world during the hundreds of years she was locked up in the old house. He will start with a documentary, and then study the beauty videos when Bai Wan wants to relax.
The tablet quickly attracted Bai Wan's attention. Even the red-clothed female ghost couldn't grab it. Finally, Bai Wan circled the red-clothed female ghost with a circle of candles. Under the red-clothed female ghost's sad eyes, she clicked on the documentaries one by one.
Chi Shen returned to the coffee table again. His bamboo strips were placed on the coffee table, which had become his workbench.
At this time, Ji Xingchen reminded him: "You should take a nap."
Chi Shen smiled and said, "Yes, I should take a nap."
Xu Jiayuan was on duty today. He was handling a case involving the suspected appearance of a ghost king in Dongshan Park. At this moment, he suddenly received a call from Chi Shen.
"I want to visit Bai Ran." Chi Shen's voice sounded a little low and a little cold, which was different from usual. However, Xu Jiayuan didn't care about these details. He asked about the time and made an appointment for this afternoon.
Chi Shen came very quickly, as if he was already in the car when the phone call came. He arrived in less than twenty minutes.
Xu Jiayuan looked at Chi Shen. He felt that Chi Shen was a little strange today. Although he was still wearing the usual clothes and had the same face as usual, he felt that something was different. Maybe he became a little more gentle? Or a little colder?
Xu Jiayuan led him to the place where Bai Ran was imprisoned.
Because the case is still under investigation, Bai Ran was detained in the Special Security Bureau. Due to the different matters being handled, the rules of the Special Security Bureau are not very rigid. Chi Shen said that he wanted to visit Bai Ran, and with Yuan Yiping's consent, he only needed to make a report. Of course, there would still be Special Security Bureau personnel accompanying and recording the whole process, and the process would also be audio and video recorded.
In fact, the reason why Chi Shen met Xu Xiuyun at the gate of the Special Security Bureau that day was because Xu Xiuyun had just visited Bai Ran.
There were many talismans and statues of the Three Pure Ones pasted on the room. Chi Shen walked in, his eyes lightly swept over those items, and finally fell on Bai Ran's face.
Bai Ran looked like he was having a rough time. His beard was untidy and his original noble appearance was long gone. His eyes were full of resentment. He looked at Chi Shen and smiled coldly: "Are you here to show off? Tell me they begged you to go back."
Chi Shen did not answer his question. He seemed not to have heard it. He sat down opposite him and said calmly, "I want to ask you about the Hong Kong City serial murder case. Do you have anything to do with it?"
Bai Ran didn't seem to know which Hong Kong serial murder case it was. He looked at Chi Shen strangely, as if he thought he came out of nowhere. But soon, he understood and laughed: "I wasn't even born at that time, how could it be related to me? Are you crazy?"
Chi Shen still looked at him calmly: "The victims of this subsequent serial murder case have not been saved. You can use your classmates to refine ghosts, but have you used the victims to refine the God of Wealth?"
Xu Jiayuan, who accompanied Chi Shen in, felt very puzzled. The God of Wealth had never been refined. Although it was rumored on the Internet that the God of Wealth had become an evil god, they had investigated the matter of the headless ghost and found that no so-called evil god had appeared at all.
But he did not say anything. He felt that Chi Shen's question had a profound meaning. He just watched from the side and tried not to make his expression look strange, so as to avoid Bai Ran seeing anything.
"Refine the God of Wealth?" Bai Ran was also confused. He seemed to have no idea what was going on. But he didn't pretend anymore. After thinking for a moment, he cursed, "Do you think I'm an idiot? Are you trying to frame me?"
