Forbidden City

Chapter 116 The Missing Shadow

I put away the Taoism books that Master gave me like a treasure. I knew that Master could not teach me much. Master was in seclusion all year round, and my sister was imprisoned for another three months. I could only learn by myself.

After saying goodbye to Master, the first thing I did was to take Xinxin to have a big meal, but I found that Xinxin’s meal was very large. I ordered five dishes, and even two adults couldn’t finish them. She was stunned, but was swept away by Xinxin, and she pouted her mouth after eating, still looking unsatisfied, until after eating eight dishes, Xinxin wiped the oil stains on her mouth twice before smiling Said she was full.

Every time the food was served, the waiter looked at Xinxin with strange eyes. I knew it had something to do with Xinxin's body. Speaking of which, she was less than three months old.

I was very happy in the first two days with Xinxin, but after a week, I was so exhausted that I wanted to cry.Only then did I realize that being a parent is so difficult and hard work. Xinxin's IQ is only around the age of five, she doesn't know how to take care of herself, she doesn't even know how to put on clothes, and she needs me to cuddle her to sleep every night.

Xinxin is already a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, she runs around the house without clothes every night, and asks me to hug her to sleep, how can I be a father?What's more, she also came to be a big aunt!This just blew me away!There is no way to go on like this, so that the landlord thinks that I am living with my girlfriend, and it is impossible for me to tell others that she is my daughter.

Within a few days, the neighbors complained to me, saying that I had a quarrel with my girlfriend all night and disturbed them. I had no choice but to explain it.But I can't teach Xinxin a lesson. I don't want to reprimand my daughter, so I can only teach her slowly in a friendly manner. What's more, once Xinxin is in a bad mood, she will explode into a ghost. I don't want anything to happen, so anything I had to let her do it, so after several complaints from my neighbors, I had no choice but to move out. Xinxin made a lot of noise every night, and I was kicked out by the landlord.

I am a poor ghost, and it is impossible to give Xinxin a particularly good environment. It is really difficult to find a place with good sound insulation measures for this unfamiliar place, so I turned to Mu Yi for help. Two days later, Mu Yi gave I found a basement, the environment was not bad, probably because Mu Yi was a policeman, and the rent was cheap, so I settled down with Xinxin.

In addition to taking care of Xinxin, I also need to teach Xinxin how to read, and teach her some simple basic necessities of life. Xinxin eats too much and eats more than 100 yuan of food every day. This is not an option. I have to work and earn money, otherwise In another month, our father and daughter will drink northwest wind.

The good thing is that Xinxin is very obedient, she doesn't cry or make trouble, and I am happy to be with her every day. The bad point is that Xinxin is very clingy. No matter where I go, she will follow me, 24 hours a day. to be with me.

I want to find a job immediately, but I still have to take care of Xinxin. Taking my daughter to work is not a good thing, and any unit cannot accept it.After much deliberation, I still called Uncle Ouyang, wanting to continue working in that hotel of Ouyang's family. Uncle thought that I had helped him so much for her daughter before, so he agreed without asking.

Originally, after Ouyang Mei died, I didn't want to work here, but I wanted to take care of Xinxin. Besides, thinking of Zhou Yuyong's words before he died, telling me to be careful of the hotel, I always felt that there was something hidden here, and this must be a clue.

During the half month I was away, the hotel had recruited other people. When I saw the new girl at the front desk, I was stunned. It turned out to be Yinger!

Isn't Yinger missing?Was it captured by Lexus?Mu Yi couldn't find a clue, why did he appear suddenly?How could she work here?Many questions popped into my mind at once.

"Father, I don't like her." Xinxin and I just entered the door, she grabbed my right hand, with a strange expression on her face, and then said: "I don't like this place either."

"Didn't I tell you, I'm your brother, not dad, you know?" I've taught Xinxin hundreds of times to call my brother when there are other people around, and call me dad when no one is around. But Xinxin always forgets.

Ying'er looked at Xin Xin very strangely, "Whose child is this? He looks so cute." Ying'er walked over to touch Xin Xin's head, but Xin Xin dodged aside and hid behind me. Stretched out his head, made a grimace, and looked at Ying'er very unfriendly.

I was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "This is my own sister, she has some problems here." I pointed to my head, I really don't want to say that my daughter has brain problems, but in order to deceive people, I can only say so.

I asked about Ying'er's situation, and Ying'er told me that it was Mu Yi who rescued her yesterday, she was locked in a small room by Ling Zhi, and Mu Yi found her while searching.

I looked at Ying'er's sweet face, but felt a little uneasy. I always felt that Ying'er seemed to have something on his mind, or why did Ying'er come to work here?
Ying'er told me that she won't be able to find a job for a while, and there is a shortage of people here, so she goes to work here.I called Mu Yi to ask about this matter, of course it wasn't that I didn't believe Ying'er's words, after so many things, I had to keep an eye on everything.

Mu Yi's voice was very calm, she said to me, "Come out at night, I have something to ask you."

In the evening, I took Xinxin and Mu Yi to meet in a secluded park. Mu Yi was wearing a tights, very sharp and neat, and looked very elegant. Every time I saw Mu Yi, I felt a sense of joy in my heart. It seemed that I would very much like to be with her.

"Mom..." Xin Xin saw Mu Yi, and jumped up and down, hugging Mu Yi tightly, which shocked Mu Yi.

I was a little embarrassed, and explained dumbfoundingly: "This is Xinxin. Master asked me to take care of Xinxin in the future." Mu Yi's mouth grew wide, obviously very surprised, "Xinxin has grown so big? She is only a few months old, right?"

I nodded, "Xinxin has no problem, live with me from now on." I didn't tell Mu Yi the real situation of Xinxin, Master didn't let me tell anyone, otherwise Mu Yi, who is a supernatural policeman, might not be able to Let me live together with a time bomb like Xinxin, "By the way, Mu Yi, I also ask you to do me a favor. Xinxin doesn't have a registered permanent residence until now. You are a policeman, can you get a registered residence for Xinxin?"

Xinxin is so old, if she doesn't have a registered permanent residence, many things will be inconvenient.Mu Yi fully agreed, saying that it would be done in a few days, and then I asked Mu Yi, what can I do for you.

"Ying'er is dead." Mu Yi's expression was a little gloomy, "and he has been dead for a long time."

This shocked me quite a bit, and I hurriedly said, "Ying'er is obviously a living person, how could she be dead? Could it be..." I suddenly thought of Zhou Yuyong.

"You're right." Mu Yi said in a very positive tone: "Same as Zhou Yuyong's situation, Ying'er died a long time ago, and is now controlled by a kind of magic, which is very evil, not a low-level person like Ling Zhi. The waiting onmyoji can perform it, this onmyoji is very powerful, just like when Zhou Yuyong was controlled, I didn't find it in time, I couldn't find it the first time, but this time I have already discovered Yinger's abnormality."

"Then what should we do? You asked me out to tell me this? Why didn't you catch Yinger? You can use Yinger to investigate Ling Zhi's whereabouts." I asked hurriedly, and I knew that Mu Yi must have a plan.

"Ying'er is just a controlled puppet, and doesn't know Ling Zhi's conspiracy." Mu Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, you take this." Mu Yi took out the tear cup and handed it to me, " Now you keep the tear cup by yourself, Yinger went to work in that hotel, obviously there is her purpose, or Ling Zhi already knew that you would go to work there, so she arranged where Yinger was, she just wanted to get it from you Tears Gong or the information about the amber coffin, then we will lure the snake out of the hole, you can lure her out with the Tears Gong, and then you can lure the people behind."

Is this another trap planned by Lexus to deal with me?If I hadn't come out to see Mu Yi, I would still be the same as before, keeping everything in the dark.

"You mean lead out Lexus?" Every time Lexus was led out, he ran away. Besides, Muyi's target was not Lexus, but the people behind him.

Mu Yi said with a mysterious expression: "I want to lead out the white-faced woman who was with Ling Zhi that day. I have found out that this woman is the key. Together with Ling Zhi, she raises ghosts somewhere in the city and harms people everywhere. , There have been five homicides this month, and each of the dead is a body invaded by Yin Qi. Lexus is just a small guy, and he may just be used as a tool. Our purpose is to catch this white-faced woman, as long as If you catch her, Lexus will be worthless by then, and I will definitely bring him to justice!"
