My colleague teased me: "Are all the girls so active these days? What did they send you?"
The policeman's expression changed drastically: "Evidence."
"What evidence?" Colleagues gathered around.
He turned up the volume on his phone to the maximum and showed the screen to everyone.
In the picture, Xun Pei was so scared that he fell to his knees and confessed the whole process of his crime. He hugged Qiao Ruoxi's thighs and begged her to save him.
Everyone's eyes widened. "What on earth did this little girl say to scare Xun Pei so much that he confessed all his crimes?"
"But this recording was obviously made without the other party's consent. It's illegal and can't be considered as evidence, right?" someone raised an objection.
The old policeman shook his head, his attitude serious: "It provides us with a direction. As long as we investigate Xun Pei, we will definitely find clues!"
"What are we waiting for? Let's go and catch him!" All the police were angry.
The old policeman pulled everyone back and said, "Wait, do you remember what that girl said at the end?"
Qiao Ruoxi had just walked out of a small path when she saw Pei Yaori excitedly pointing in the direction of Xun Pei's house: "Sister-in-law, look! Xun Pei really escaped through the window!"
Qiao Ruoxi turned around and saw several policemen rushing out from the bushes and instantly pinning Xun Pei to the ground.
Qiao Ruoxi curled the corners of her lips, her efforts were not in vain.

After leaving the community, Qiao Ruoxi took a taxi directly to People's Square in the city center.
As soon as Pei Yaori stepped onto the square, he felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
I couldn't help but take a few more breaths, close my eyes, and hum a little tune.
“It’s like flying, it’s like being free~”
Qiao Ruoxi looked around and spoke slowly, "From a feng shui perspective, this Civic Square is located at the core of a dragon vein. There's also a round mountain behind it, which is known for its wealth. Therefore, this is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in all of Beijing."
Pei Yaori shed tears of emotion: "Sister-in-law, you are so kind. You know I've been in a bad mood recently, so you brought me here to relax."
"Don't worry about me. I'm not sad. As long as you live in this world, you can't live without some green on your head. Besides, I'm dead."
Qiao Ruoxi coughed lightly, took out a feather wrapped in a tissue, and handed it to Pei Yaori: "Feel it and see if you can locate its owner."
Pei Yaori wiped his tears, lowered his head to smell the feathers, then closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he pointed to the north.
"I can feel it in that direction, but it should be quite far away."
"Can you be more specific?" Qiao Ruoxi pointed at the Bagua formation in the center of the square. "You can stand over there and try it."
Pei Yaori walked over obediently, but turned back after taking two steps.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Ruoxi asked.
Pei Yaori scratched his head and looked at the big dog playing Frisbee with its owner, saying aggrievedly, "Sister-in-law, do you think I look a bit like this retriever now?"
Qiao Ruoxi: ...
"Although your skills are somewhat similar, you are different. It's a dog, and you are..."
"Yes, it's a dog and I'm a human." Pei Yaori said with full energy.
Qiao Ruoxi: "...You are a soul."
Pei Yaori:......
"This is the only way to find Yan Bing's remaining two souls and six spirits. You are a soul, free from the constraints of the flesh. As long as you want, you can go anywhere."
"Try again, and I'll give you a hand."
As Qiao Ruoxi spoke, she injected the spiritual power from her fingertips into Pei Yaori's brow.
Pei Yaori's body instantly became light. He smelled the feathers again, walked to the center of the Bagua formation, and closed his eyes.
A shadow flashed by, and Pei Yaori, who was just there, disappeared.
Qiao Ruoxi opened her eyes slightly, she succeeded.
Fifteen minutes later, the soul reappeared in the square.
Pei Yaori turned around several times before finally stopping. He patted his chest and gasped, "I was so scared, so scared, my heart was about to jump out of my chest."
"You don't have a heart." Qiao Ruoxi yawned and finally stood up from the bench. "What did you see?"
Pei Yaori took a deep breath and made an extremely exaggerated expression: "It's terrible, those people can actually see me!"
"Those people? A lot of people?" Qiao Ruoxi frowned.
"There were at least three of them, all wearing black robes, rosaries, and feathers as their decorations. They were like a cult, catching ghosts whenever they saw them. They even wanted to catch me, but luckily I ran away very quickly!"
"Did you see them catching ghosts?"
"I saw it. There's a baby cave in the mountains. Inside the cave are all the dead babies from the village. They put the souls of all the dead babies in a bottle. There are at least forty or fifty of them!"
"How can there be so many dead babies in one mountain?" Qiao Ruoxi frowned.
Pei Yaori sneered, "Ningyuan Mountain, those are all the children who died in Ningyuan Town. That place is a poverty-stricken area. The poorer they are, the more they want to have children, and they all want sons. I don't know how many female babies have been thrown away."
"Do you even recognize the place?"
Pei Yaori sighed: "Do you remember what I told you about my sister Yaolin?"
Qiao Ruoxi nodded.
"The scumbag Yaolin married back then was from Ningyuan Town. I recognized him as soon as I saw him. His family still lives in the big villa my mom built for them. How shameless!"
Qiao Ruoxi narrowed her eyes.
Is this a coincidence, or is there some connection?
It seems that she has to make this trip.
"My dear sister-in-law, please don't even think about going to Ningyuan Town. It's a dangerous place with harsh mountains and waters, and the people there are so unruly that they eat people without leaving any bones behind. If you go there and don't come back, my brother will be so worried that he will die."
Qiao Ruoxi seemed not to hear and immediately took out her cell phone and booked a high-speed rail ticket to Ningyuan Town.
Pei Yaori:......
He leaned over to take a look, and fortunately the place was remote and there were not many high-speed trains, so he could only book a ticket for tomorrow.
Pei Yaori scratched his head and prayed all night long, and finally Pei Yaozhou came back.
He didn't want Qiao Ruoxi to follow his sister's old path, regretting it but not being able to get over it.
"Have you been feeling better lately?"
During dinner, Pei Yaozhou asked as he picked up some food for Qiao Ruoxi, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Qiao Ruoxi nodded: "Much better."
"Sister-in-law, tell him you're going on a long trip. What if my brother can't find you?"
"Tell him quickly, tell him quickly!"
Pei Yaori had been whispering in Qiao Ruoxi's ear since dinner, crawling from the ceiling to the table, and then crawling under the table. The devilish sound filled her ears from all directions and 360 degrees.
Qiao Ruoxi couldn't bear it any longer and forced Pei Yaori into the gourd.
The world was quiet, and Qiao Ruoxi was also shaken.
She put down her chopsticks and coughed lightly.
"Third Master, I'm going on a long trip soon and won't be back for a few days."
