Chapter 46 Old Friend

"Are you still connected with that evil thing???"

An Ran was waiting anxiously outside the high-speed rail station in Liao City New District. When he saw Tu Minglang's ugly uniform, he couldn't help complaining in his heart. Let's go quickly. He took a few steps while pointing and cursing.

Tu Minglang's face was as pale as paper, and the dark circles under his eyes were as heavy as if he had been punched twice. The dusty and wrinkled uniform on his body looked as if he had not slept for days and nights.

He did not reply directly. After all, An Ran was wary of Cui Yu, and the doubts in his heart continued to this day.

An Ran looked at his appearance, feeling distressed and even more angry: "Look at you, what you've become... If you want to blame, blame yourself, for wanting to reveal Ji Gang's news to Cui Yu, it's good now, neither of them can get out!"

Tu Minglang rubbed his temples and explained in a hoarse voice: "Sister, don't worry, I'm fine... It's just that I've been too busy at work recently, and I've been working overtime for several days. " I haven't had a good rest."

"Where are the other colleagues in your department?"

Tu Minglang smiled helplessly: "If I call, Ji Gang's appointment will be taken over. How can this guy get it?" Remuneration? This trip is just to return a favor. "

I don't care, don't talk to Cui Yu."

"No..."

Tu Minglang, just pretend!

Her intuition told her that Zhang Jigang definitely didn't initiate this trip. That guy didn't like asking for help, otherwise he wouldn't be willing to take her money if he was in debt.

That bastard was the only guy who could be so willful and call his younger brother who was still very busy at his job with just one phone call.

Seeing Tu Minglang's attempt to hide it, she thought that Cui Yu must have reminded Minglang on the phone not to go alone without any fanfare, but Tu Minglang was unsure, so he talked to her on the phone before setting off and decided to go together. There must be some premeditation in doing so!

In fact, Tu Minglang and Cui Yu have been chatting frequently in the past few years. Through the WeChat contact added at the end of the summer vacation, he usually takes the initiative to send messages, and his real intention is to get rid of this little scumbag with a bad mouth.

What made him unhappy was that Cui Yu never mentioned Zhang Jigang once. Instead, he couldn't hold back his emotions and deliberately guided him by saying, "How about the foreign girl? She seems pretty good. She can straighten out a pervert like you." Hey..."

Cui Yu didn't respond and only asked him about the whereabouts of one person, that was Ma Li.

Tu Minglang: "Cui Yu... don't tell me that you care more about your love rival. Don't think about it. I get along so well with Ji Gang..."

Cui Yu put down the fruit knife he was using to peel the apples and frowned at the camera. : "Brother Tu, I almost believed it."

Tu Minglang felt guilty and coughed lightly: "You don't believe it? Don't believe it?... I will send you a photo of them dating next time. Well... you still don't believe it?"

Cui Yu chuckled: "I don't care, he can do whatever he wants."

...

An Ran frowned, returned the case to Tu Minglang, and said: "Ji Gang relied on his work-study program to earn living expenses, and finally got into college. That bastard was ruined... How many three years can there be in life? Look at what that kid has been like in these three years!"

An Ran's words made Tu Minglang fall into deep thought.

Zhang Jigang's experience is indeed heartbreaking. Even at Tu Mingliang's age, he could be successfully selected into the mystery department by relying on the reputation of the Tu family. However, this boy is precocious than anyone else and has to support the family's responsibilities alone...

He just wants to enter the life. We are on the right track, using the database of the Crime Department to investigate the cause of Zhang Ming's death and the origin of the curse on his family. Unfortunately, he was involved in another disaster.

In the past three years, Zhang Jigang must have experienced a lot of pain and inner torture before he lost his smile.

Since Zhang Jigang and Cui Yu left that summer, the tourism industry in Li Village has been on the rise. Vehicles can safely drive into the boundaries of Li Village. No ghost exorcists have encountered that troublesome lost ghost anymore, and the remnants of the underground trading ground have also been eliminated. The local police caught him in one fell swoop.

An Ran didn't have a chance to thank Zhang Jigang, and was busy negotiating with the local government to restart the village entertainment village. When he remembered this encounter and wanted to contact him again, he heard that this kid had been expelled from the school.

Again, happy breakup.

An Ran looked sideways, holding a fruity Zhizhi stick in his mouth, smacking his lips and joking: "Mingming, what did that bastard say to you? Did you encounter a difficult ghost realm this time when you took me with you? You still have to rely on your sister and me~"

Tu Minglang didn't dare to look at her and only replied: "Cui Yu said vaguely. He just told me that if I don't receive a call back today, I will go to the low house at No. 13 Commercial Street, New District. It's the entrance." An

Ran said "Oh" and asked again: "Then how did you know the news?"

Tu Minglang felt nervous. He forgot the words just now, and now he couldn't think of any excuse, so he had to confess: "Uh... I said It was Cui Yu who called the headquarters."

An Ran snorted: "Tsk, didn't you say that bastard just returned to China?"

Tu Minglang scratched his head: "Yeah, it's possible that he has a lot of connections, most of them are in Liao City. The medical equipment market belongs to Cui Yu's father, so it's normal for him to have a few friends!"

An Ran was still a little confused: "How could Zhang Jigang be willing to follow him into the ghost realm? His ex who broke up on bad terms suddenly appeared in front of him? , are you familiar with and remember all the situations, wouldn't you be disgusted?"

Tu Minglang quickly changed the subject: "Oh, don't worry about it now, let's go over and take a look!"

He said earlier that he was not afraid of things happening to couples, but he was afraid of them. Same!

Why did he happen to meet these two people on the bus? He should just sleep a little longer and take the next bus!

An Ran was doubtful and followed Tu Minglang to No. 13 Commercial Street, New District.

When she reached the place, she looked up and saw a dilapidated low house standing on the roadside. She happened to step on a manhole cover that was a little loose. She walked over and looked around.

Then he frowned: "Is this the entrance? It's a bit run-down... It doesn't look like anything special..." It's so

ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary. What kind of difficult case could there be here?

Tu Minglang smiled and said: "This is not Li Village. There are mountains and water. Wouldn't it be more eerie if there was a bamboo forest? Haha..."

As he said that, Tu Minglang leaned against the weathered old door of the low house. When the door suddenly opened inward, he tripped over the door frame.

"...I'll go, this..."

It was dark inside, exuding bursts of cold air.

An Ran's eyes suddenly froze, and he looked at Tu Minglang for a moment, and signaled with his eyes: "I take back what I just said, Minglang, the evil spirit here is very strong, be careful."

The two opened the door cautiously, and found that there was an abandoned low house. It was filled with all kinds of sundries, and a strange portrait hung on the wall. It was an old woman with a dull look. The black and white portrait clearly showed that it was a portrait of a deceased person, but there was no altar for worship and it was covered with dust.

The increasingly cold environment made An Ran couldn't help but shudder: "This is a new area, how come such an old house is left? That bastard told you in advance who the hostess is?"

Tu Minglang: "She is an old ghost exorcist. Master, he has been dead for more than ten years, and I heard that he is still an old friend of Uncle Hua."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Hua remained silent.

She suddenly missed that interesting old man. The life of being stationed in Li Village without leaving the village was indeed lonely.

"Does Uncle Hua know that Cui Yu is back? Tell the truth."

Tu Minglang curled his lips and said strangely: "With Cui Yu's attitude of calling Zhang Hua directly, there must be a reason for Uncle Hua's tolerance of Cui Yu. What do you think? "

Okay, Uncle Hua also teamed up to deceive her, changed his mobile phone number and disappeared from Wangcheng. An Ran thought something had happened to the old man and sent people several times to inquire about the news.

He never expected that Zhang Hua had a private discussion with this bastard and left Wangcheng voluntarily.

The words flowed out of her mouth. An Ran pasted a few talisman papers, then bent down and drew a circle with her fingers. When she was ready, she patted Tu Minglang on the shoulder: "Be careful when you go in, you have to I still believe Cui Yu is causing trouble. It took Zhang Jigang three days to solve a ghost domain. It must be something fishy..."

Tu Minglang touched his backpack and winked at An Ran: "Don't worry, sister, I brought a lot from the department. Good thing, my master is sure that there will always be a few to deal with the evil spirits in this bunch, but I have to collect rent from Cui Yu!"

He also contacted Cui Yu unintentionally, and he didn't intend to betray his friends.

Anyone who has seen Zhang Jigang's devastated look at that time can't help but worry, but this kid from the Zhang family doesn't know whose temper he followed. He is neither as familiar as Uncle Hua, nor as cunning as Ji Gang's grandfather. , excessive sadness will lead to a state of stagnation, which is equivalent to evaporating from the world.

He once lost his temper and really wanted to rush over and punch Cui Yu on the opposite side of the camera, and ask what exactly happened between the two of them, so that he could make a top-quality green tea and dog licker give up his obsession and run away. Let that boy Zhang Jigang go.

But last year, Cui Yu helped him once and sent him the details of the case that had been unsolved for a year and a half privately via email, with only one paragraph of note: "Seeing Tu Linghuo appear in the world, or encountering suspicious people appearing around Zhang Sheng again" , tell me immediately. ]

Tu Minglang received the email at night and didn't sleep a wink all night.

Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Jigang did change his name, and he could easily find this person by looking through the old history books left by Uncle Hua. From top to bottom, he was the first person with that name.

Only then did he realize why Zhang Jigang suddenly changed. He didn't even read the cold jokes he sent, and the conversation was still at the end of the last bad joke.

The feeling of pushing back was strong, and the ghost realm he entered during this trip was stranger than any before. Tu Minglang was always paying attention to Anran's expression. After following the magic circle into the secret passage, he felt that the power that escorted them in disappeared. .

Perhaps it was the remaining mana left by the old ghost exorcist in the old house that allowed them to find the entrance smoothly, otherwise they would have wasted a lot of time just to get in.

Tu Minglang took out a staff from his bag. It was made of dead wood. It was broken in the middle and then repaired with silver water. He used the weak light source emitted by the staff to walk in another direction.

An Ran asked in surprise: "This magic weapon can also guide the way? What's it called? Where did you get it..."

"I found it from the warehouse of the Crime Department. Brother Cui told me that it's called the Ling Teng, and it can guide people deep into the underworld. "I feel Tu Ling Fire."

An Ran felt unfamiliar with him and followed Tu Minglang: "I'm convinced that he can reach into the Crime Department. I don't know where he comes from, but now I feel that he knows the underworld better than you and me. They are all familiar."

Tu Minglang said to himself, Sister, if I said that I would see the Grand Master later, you would be frightened.

Moreover, the Patriarch is waiting for the two of them to rescue him.
