Chapter 12: Returning the Gu


At the turn of the morning, the ringing of the alarm clock woke up the sleeping Ding Xiaolan, she lazily got dressed, and was about to go to the toilet to put on makeup, before she came to the living room, she saw Qi Lu sitting at the table smoking a cigarette.

Through her sleepy eyes, Ding Xiaolan saw that Qi Lu's fresh and fluffy Korean-style broken hair had been cut into inches, and she didn't feel a little strange, so she asked him: "How to cut such a hairstyle, it's really old-fashioned and ugly."

"yes, I think it's ugly too."

Qi Lu grinned and put the gold wire glasses placed in front of the table on the bridge of his nose, and then said to her, "What do you think I do like this?"

"Pretend to be Sven, I think you are a promising little civil servant who stays in the office all day and prints documents for the leader."

"Haha," Qi Lu smirked, "That's what I want." ” "What kind of ghost do you want to do" Ding Xiaolan realized that Qi Lu would never go to get a haircut for no reason.

"In the afternoon, while you were sleeping, I went out to get this haircut, and then went to Renai Hospital."

"Renai Hospital, isn't that the hospital where Su Ling lives?"

Qi Lu smiled and said: "Yes, when I arrived at the floor of Ms.

Su's ward, I took out my mobile phone and took a few photos at the front desk where the nurse was on duty, and then looked around, and finally asked the nurse which ward the 213 bed was." ” "213 This is Su Ling's hospital bed" Ding Xiaolan couldn't guess Qi Lu's intentions, she said a little worriedly: "Just with your sneaky appearance in the hospital, I'm not afraid that others will arrest you as a thief."

"It's a good thing those lovely nurses don't think like you, otherwise I'd be miserable."

Qi Lu saw Ding Xiaolan waving her hand in front of her nose, and knew that she hated the smell of smoke in the room, so she silently pressed the cigarette in her hand into the ashtray, got up and opened the window, and continued: "But my actions did arouse the vigilance of the nurses, and even the head nurse came to ask me. ” "Don't tell me that you were released from the police station."

"Do you think I'm so handsome and look like a bad person" Qi Lu deliberately didn't say anything, he poured a glass of water and drank a few sips before he said slowly: "Oh, nurse, I'm just taking a casual look, is your dean here?"

Ding Xiaolan was amused by Qi Lu's sudden official tone, and as soon as she finished laughing, she found that the doubts in her heart were also rising.

Qi Lu seemed to have seen her doubts, and he no longer turned around the corner, but went straight to the point.

"Later, they regarded me as a staff member sent by the city discipline inspection committee to investigate and secretly visit, and even the dean personally pulled me to the office to chat attentively."

"Do you think they're all three-year-olds, and you're just going to make them believe it with these few pretentious actions?"

"I didn't lie to them, I always said that I was a common man."

Qi Lu glanced at Ding Xiaolan meaningfully and continued to drink water.

Ding Xiaolan reacted at this time, Qi Lu's trick was called to capture the old man, the more he denied it, the more the people in the hospital thought that he was a person sent by the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Su Ling died yesterday for no apparent reason, and at this sensitive time, the hospital leaders were afraid that this incident would damage the reputation of the hospital.

Qi Lu was taken aback, and the dean naturally had an attitude of believing it rather than believing it.

"You suspect that there is something wrong with Su Ling's death" Ding Xiaolan's brain finally opened up.

"Yes."

Qi Lu nodded and said, "Although we have only contacted Su Ling twice, except for giving me the feeling that she is a little nervous, I really can't think of the reason why she wants to commit suicide."

And I also asked people in the same ward as Su Ling, and they all said that she was in a stable mood that day, and there was nothing abnormal. ” Yes, Su Ling's family is harmonious, the husband and wife are loving, and nothing unpleasant happened, why did she commit suicide Ding Xiaolan had to admire Qi Lu's meticulous thoughts.

"Taking advantage of the fact that the dean regarded me as a person from the Commission for Discipline Inspection, I tuned the video footage of that night."

Ding Xiaolan asked urgently: "Then did you find anything suspicious?"

"Judging from the video alone, Su Ling did jump from the window sill on the sixth floor alone when no one was around, and no outsiders appeared at the suicide scene, and I didn't notice any supernatural phenomena."

"That means that Ms.

Su did commit suicide."

"Maybe, but I found the stairs from the fifth to the sixth floor to be a blind spot for the camera" "A flight of stairs goes up in less than half a minute, what can happen" Ding Xiaolan cross-examined him: "Do you even want to investigate this?"

"Yes, I have to learn from Liu Chenfei's meticulous spirit in this regard, and I can't miss any clues."

"Detective Qi, what clues have you found again" Ding Xiaolan's poor mouth came again, she didn't believe that that short time would make a major turn in the case.

Qi Lu shook his head and said, "There is a small door at the corner of the stairs, I have secretly checked, and it is where the cleaners rest.

However, when I went, it was too late, and the cleaner had already left work, so it seemed that I would have to find time to ask him again tomorrow. ” "Okay."

Ding Xiaolan saw that Qi Lu was so persistent, and it was not good to pour cold water on him, "But you can go by yourself tomorrow, I didn't have a good rest today, and I have to sleep lazily during the day." ” "No problem."

Qi Lu agreed very happily, he looked at the time and said, "Alas, it's all a little bit, we should go to see Pei Liping." ” Qi Lu turned around and walked into the kitchen and carefully took out the jar containing Gu.

He first recited the incantation, then unsealed the talisman and grabbed the money Gu that looked like a toad in his hand.

At this moment, the toad's body suddenly "poofed" a golden flame, and the toad disappeared immediately, and the flame in Qi Lu's hand immediately became larger, and then divided into several piles, rising from his palm.

"Ha, do you want to run away from me" Qi Lu sneered, and recited the spell again.

With the power of Qi Lu's spell, the flames refocused together, turning into golden bats.

It flew around, its wings "snapping".

Ding Xiaolan looked at everything that happened in front of her in amazement, she had never seen such a strange transformation, but when she wanted to see it more clearly, the bat turned into a krait snake and crawled on the wall, disappearing in front of the two of them in a moment.

"Ran away," Ding Xiaolan asked in surprise.

"No matter how great Sun Monkey's skills are, he can't escape the Five Finger Mountain of Rulai" Qi Lu threw a spirit talisman in his hand in a certain direction in the air, only to hear a "snap", and something seemed to fall on the roof.

Ding Xiaolan looked down and found that the toad had reappeared on the ground, and it was jumping on the ground with its limbs outstretched, looking for an opportunity to escape.

"Catch it quickly, otherwise it will run away again" As soon as Ding Xiaolan's words fell, the toad had been gently lifted up by Qi Lu, and Qi Lu followed it with a talisman to stick its big mouth.

"It won't be able to transform and escape this time."

Qi Lu threw it on the table, and the toad lay there on all fours, like a dead frog.

Qi Lu took out a cloth bag from the travel bag, which looked like an ordinary bag on the surface, but when Ding Xiaolan watched Qi Lu put the toad into the bag, he found that there was a cinnabar outline Tai Chi pattern on the inner wall of the bag.

Qi Lu tied the mouth of the bag tightly with a red rope, pasted a spirit talisman on it, and then carried the bag and said to Ding Xiaolan: "Okay, let's go find Pei Liping." ” After going downstairs and walking less than a few dozen meters, I arrived at the place where Pei Liping set up the mourning hall.

There was a light rain in the sky, and the rain was soft, but it was already quite cold.

There was a mahjong table in the mourning hall, and several relatives were playing mahjong, but they didn't see Pei Liping keeping vigil.

"Hey, did he go back to sleep" Ding Xiaolan was muttering when she saw Pei Liping coming down from upstairs with a garbage bag in his hand.

Seeing Qi Lu and the others, Pei Liping hurriedly came over to greet them.

"Mr.

Qi, why don't you rest this night?"

"You and I are destined, and it just so happens that you are in this sad situation again, I want to do my best to accompany you to keep vigil, I hope Mr.

Pei will not dislike it."

"How can this trouble Mr.

Qi, if it weren't for the death of my beloved wife, I would do my best to accompany the two of you to have a good time in the scenic area of the city."

After the two exchanged a few polite words, Qi Lu lifted the bag in his hand and said with a smile: "Mr.

Pei lost something at home, and I just picked it up, so I came to return it." ” As soon as Pei Liping saw the bag, his face changed suddenly, his lips squirmed a few times, and he said, "Mr.

Qi, wait a while, I'll go take out the garbage first." ” Looking at Pei Liping's back, Ding Xiaolan whispered: "Did he guess that the bag contained money Gu?"

"Of course, he is also a person who knows magic, so he won't even be able to see this."

With a "clang", the sound of Pei Liping throwing the garbage bag into the garbage can sounded very harsh in the silent night, he turned around and hurriedly walked back, signaling the two to talk in a secluded place.

Coming to the aisle of the building outside the mourning hall, Qi Lu handed the bag to Pei Liping.

Pei Liping hurriedly opened the bag and saw that the toad was lying in it very well-behaved, so he relieved himself and thanked Qi Lu and the two of them busily.

When Qi Lu was about to reply, he saw something fall in front of Pei Liping's forehead with a "tick".

It was a drop of bright red blood with an abominable smell.

"Ah" Pei Liping looked up in surprise, and the toad in the bag suddenly moved, crawling to the mouth of the bag with great speed, and jumping to his face in a blink of an eye.

Pei Liping fell to the ground on his back in shock by the sudden infestation, and the toad's body became more and more flattened, covering his entire face.

Pei Liping's body writhed in pain, and he tried to tear the toad to take it off, but he couldn't tear it off.

"Mr.

Pei" Ding Xiaolan rushed forward in surprise to help Pei Liping catch the toad, trying to help him pull the toad off his face, but it was useless.

Qi Lu's face also became ugly, this was not the result he wanted to see, so he hurriedly pinched the trick with both hands, wanting to help Pei Liping.

"Mr.

Qi, please don't chant the mantra" Pei Liping gasped and finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to chant the incantation in a low voice.

Qi Lu understood that Pei Liping wanted to solve this matter by himself.

As an outsider, reluctantly using mana to destroy the money Gu may actually harm the breeder himself.

So Qi Lu took Ding Xiaolan's hand and stood quietly by watching Pei Liping calm the trouble by himself.

The toad's body gradually grew larger, covering Pei Liping's eyes and nose, but the expansion of his body stopped at his mouth.

Pei Liping's breathing became more and more difficult, but he still didn't dare to stop chanting the incantation.

"Wow" Suddenly, the toad's body twitched, and it turned into a krait again, sliding down Pei Liping's face and wrapping around his neck.

"Qi Lu, save Mr.

Pei" Ding Xiaolan's voice was close to pleading, and she saw Pei Liping's face flushed.

"Don't move, or we'll do you a disservice."

Although Qi Lu said this, several spirit runes had already appeared in his hands.

Pei Liping stopped chanting, he took out a knife from his trouser pocket and cut a large hole in his right wrist.

Blood suddenly flowed out, and he raised his hand above his head so that the blood that flowed out could drip into the Gu Snake's mouth.

"Ahh "Alas, it's all right. i0 t1706231537:
