Chapter 42: Missing
"I'm so full of food!"
There was no entrusted home in the detective office today, and Kelly had already gotten back from get off work.
The two people who went home to have dinner had returned to the detective office. Tang Xiaoyu lay on the sofa full: "It turns out that buns are so delicious! And they are cheap. Li Changqing, why haven't you bought them for me before?"
Li Changqing raised his legs and held today's newspaper in his hand. He glanced at Tang Xiaoyu, how did I know that ghosts could still eat buns?
but
Can ghosts eat buns?
At least it should not work in the concepts that Li Changqing knows.
But Tang Xiaoyu just ate it and still ate a lot.
Li Changqing turned the newspaper in his hand one page, and while reading the newspaper, he said, "I will be able to hold you to death sooner or later, let you be a deadbeat."
Tang Xiaoyu sat up with a smile, looking curiously at the fruit on the dining table in the distance: "Then, since I can eat buns, can I eat other things too?"
After becoming a ghost, Tang Xiaoyu kept hiding until she met Li Changqing.
How did Li Changqing know about this kind of thing? He has no research on ghosts.
My understanding of it is also from all kinds of hearsays in my previous life. The only ghost I have encountered at present is Tang Xiaoyu in front of me.
"How do I know?"
Tang Xiaoyu curiously picked up an apple and took a small bite: "It's delicious!"
She seemed to have discovered a new world.
Doodu.
Just as Tang Xiaoyu was eating an apple, Li Changqing's cell phone suddenly rang.
It's so late, who can call himself?
I picked up my phone and it was Shirakawa who called it.
"Hey? Mr. Bai, is there anything wrong?"
Shirakawa was feeling a little anxious from the other side of the phone: "Did Hu Xiong contact you?"
"No, is there anything wrong?"
"They are missing."
After Bai Chuan said this, he hung up the phone. Li Changqing looked at the phone and said in his heart that he was wondering, is Hu Xiong missing?
"What's wrong?"
Tang Xiaoyu, who was so chewed with apple pomrose on the corner of her mouth, turned around and trotted to Li Changqing: "What happened to Hu Xiong?"
Li Changqing put his phone back in his pocket: "Well, Shirakawa said they were missing, and it seemed that Hu Xiong was missing."
Tang Xiaoyu thought for a long time and said with concern: "You said, he wouldn't have died if something happened."
Li Changqing asked a little strangely: "Why did you suddenly care about him?"
Tang Xiaoyu quickly said, "His tail gold has not been given to us yet, so we can't die."
It makes sense...
But Li Changqing didn't dare to come up to help with such things. The 36th Bureau was a big business, so he didn't need a little detective or a female ghost to help him.
Shirakawa called, and he was more about asking about the situation.
"Okay, such a big organization in the Thirty-Sixth Bureau, there is no need to owe us this salary, go to bed early."
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the bedroom, came to the wooden table full of talismans, and fell into deep thought.
Why did Hu Xiong suddenly disappear? As people in the 36th game, their strength is probably not weak. Is it related to the A-level incident they mentioned?
Shaking his head, thinking about what to do, he and Tang Xiaoyu were too weak to help at all.
He picked up the brush, breathed a deep breath, and began to try to draw the talisman of the General. Recently, he discovered that although the failure rate of the General at this talisman was very high, even if it failed, the spiritual energy accumulated during drawing the talisman would be about one-third more than the talisman of the imperial spell.
The general who had drawn more than an hour later came to this talisman and succeeded in two.
Li Changqing is in a good mood too. If this continues, he will sooner or later live a wonderful life without having to continue eating raw glutinous rice.
"hiss."
Li Changqing frowned slightly, feeling a little pain in his chest. He lifted his clothes and at some point a subtle black line appeared on his chest.
Like an earthworm, lying quietly on your chest.
"What's this?"
It was the first time that Li Changqing discovered that there was such a black thread in his chest. If it weren't for the slight pain at this time, he would probably have been unlikely to notice its existence.
He reached out and touched the black line gently, but when he touched it, it felt a little hot.
However, this slight pain did not last long, and it only lasted for about two or three minutes before returning to normal.
"What the hell is this?"
Is it more rigid? Or is it because of something else?
At this time, Li Changqing really had the idea of wanting to unravel himself and study it carefully.
certainly...
Just think about it.
When he woke up the next day, Li Changqing used a talisman for himself, so he didn't have to continue eating disgusting raw glutinous rice. He felt refreshed.
But early in the morning, someone came to the door.
Shirakawa.
Shirakawa was wearing a black robe and wrapped his thin appearance inside, but the thick dark circles looked like he was a little sluggish and malnourished.
His thin fingers took out a photo and placed it on the table: "After investigating yesterday, we found Hu Xiong's vehicle yesterday and parked in the suburbs about fifty miles east of Nanlin City."
Li Changqing poured him a cup of coffee, and Bai Chuan suddenly came over in person, which surprised him a little. After putting down the coffee, he said: "Mr. Bai, are you trying to come here in person?"
Shirakawa said calmly: "Yesterday, Hu Xiong and Li Minghao informed me that they found the evil thing from the A-level incident and then chased after him. Last night, I contacted them again and there was no news."
"After a night of searching, I found only this car."
"There is no one in the car."
"You detectives should be good at finding people."
Li Changqing was silent for a while and said, "So you came to me as a client? This price..."
Shirakawa shook his head: "Wrong, your current identity is a reserve officer of the Thirty-Sixth Bureau. You are obliged to help."
Li Changqing: "????"
damn it.
I had known for a long time that Hu Xiong was not very kind to him. I got himself the identity of a reserve staff member. Is it for free?
Li Changqing pushed the photo back in the direction of Shirakawa's sitting: "Mr. Bai, you also know that my detective agency has a lot of expenses, employee salary, and all aspects..."
Shirakawa knew what he was thinking: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. If you are looking for a entrusted fund, I can give you my monthly salary as a entrusted fund."
Tang Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to Li Changqing, suddenly became interested: "How many are there?"
Shirakawa: "Ten thousand coins."
"Is your monthly salary of the Thirty-Sixth Bureau only 10,000 yuan?" Tang Xiaoyu was a little surprised. This is too little, after all, it is such a dangerous job.
