Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 267 Gray Shadow

The fish didn't die, but it might as well have died. If it could choose, Yang Xiao thought it would definitely commit suicide.

Then, Yang Xiao attacked the remaining fish and two pigeons, until he completely mastered the use of this ghost whisk.

No matter which resentful eye, the cost of using it seems to be supported by one's own mental strength. Every time Yang Xiao waved this whisk, he felt a pain in his mind.

He decided to buy some brain-boosting health supplements after returning.

But fortunately, Yang Xiao was also trying to explore. It seems that as long as he didn't use the power of the resentful eye to directly attack people or ghosts, the consumption was still within the controllable range. You know, the last time he dealt with the little holy spirit, the white-robed Buddha mother, he used the green lantern and the paper money of the underworld clothes in succession, and he almost fainted from exhaustion.

Returning to the real world, Yang Xiao packed his backpack and knocked on the door of Ximen Xiu's room. He found an excuse to sleep on the bed.

With Ximen Xiu and Zhuge Zhijie guarding, and it was still daytime, he was more at ease.

Yang Xiao slept until the evening, but Ximen Xiu woke him up, "Captain, wake up, there's news!"

"We found Secretary Meng." Ximen Xiu said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Yang Xiao woke up instantly, "We found him, where is he?" There must be something to dig out from this Secretary Meng.

"Dead." Ximen Xiu sighed and lowered his voice, "The body was found in a small hotel in the west of the city. She committed suicide by burning charcoal. The doors and windows were sealed with tape. After identification, there were no traces of other people left at the scene. There was also a suicide note near the body."

Yang Xiao frowned, "What did the suicide note say?"

"She said that she was under a lot of pressure because of the investment failure. In order not to implicate her family, she had no choice but to take a desperate path, and she also advised others not to follow her example." Ximen Xiu sneered, "But after verification, she only lost hundreds of thousands of yuan in stock trading. She personally did not live in Qingfeng City. There are three houses in it. "

Zhuge Zhijie moved the computer screen towards Yang Xiao and said at the same time: "The investigation report sent said that in the home and office of Secretary Meng, there were dozens of confidential documents that she should not have access to with her authority, one of which was about you, the captain. "

"She investigated you privately, and just the day before, she received the news that our Lin'an Patrol Bureau cooperated with the investigation. She knew the purpose of your coming here. From the current clues, our information was leaked by her." Zhuge Zhijie introduced.

"Nonsense!" Yang Xiao almost laughed out of anger, "How can she, a small secretary of the county-level patrol bureau, have such great ability? She is just a scapegoat. "

This is a very obvious thing, including the death of Secretary Meng, Yang Xiao is not very surprised. Once he comes back alive, he will definitely push the patrol bureau to thoroughly investigate this matter, and Secretary Meng, who is inseparable from the relationship, will bear the brunt. He will either flee for fear of crime or be silenced.

Director Meng must have a supervisor. She cannot handle this matter alone. In order to avoid being exposed, the supervisor pushed her out as a scapegoat.

Although Yang Xiao was very confident in his analysis, this was someone else's territory after all, and Yang Xiao had no say. "Does Director Nalan know about this?"

Ximen Xiu nodded, "Yes."

"What does the Director mean?"

"Let us stay put and don't alarm them. Wait until we return safely and then we can discuss everything." Ximen Xiu repeated.

Yang Xiao took a deep breath and nodded, "Just listen to Director Nalan. We will settle accounts with them after we find out the clues."

Being tricked by someone, Yang Xiao found it hard to swallow this anger. Besides, the people of the Yuyuan Sect also knew that he had taken the resentment eye, so the grudge between the two sides was settled.

Seeing that Yang Xiao looked unhappy, Ximen Xiu advised: "Captain, don't worry too much. The Director already has clues and is now making arrangements."

"Clues?" Yang Xiao was a little surprised.

"Yes." Ximen Xiu pretended to be mysterious and said, "Captain, you forgot why the director didn't let Beibei Daxiong and the others come with you when you came out."

"The director has another task for them. There is news that evil cultivators have recently sneaked into Rongcheng." Yang Xiao immediately reacted that the so-called evil cultivators might be people from the Yuyuan Sect.

Ximen Xiu smiled bitterly and nodded, "Captain, you are unlucky. It is really them, and from the existing intelligence analysis, they are likely to come for you."

"But fortunately you didn't get the resentment eye, so the people from the Yuyuan Sect don't have to fight to the death with us. After all, our patrol office is not a vegetarian."

"How long will it take for the support to arrive?" Yang Xiao looked out the window. Although the curtains were drawn, he could vaguely see that the sky outside was gradually getting dark.

"If there is an accident on the road, it will be a few hours later than the agreed time." Zhuge Zhijie looked at the time on the computer and calculated in his mind, "It will probably arrive around midnight."

"Encountered an attack?" Yang Xiao felt more and more uneasy.

"No, there was a series of car accidents on a road, and the traffic was so bad that they had to take a detour." Zhuge Zhijie answered.

Perhaps because he had seen too many conspiracy theories, Yang Xiao suspected that the car accidents were all caused by evil cultivators, with the purpose of delaying time.

"Is there any news from the Qingfeng Patrol Office?" Yang Xiao asked, "Did they say they would arrange more guards for us?"

"They did, but I pushed it away. It's better not to cause trouble at this critical moment." Ximen Xiu's face became more serious when talking about these.

"Well done, but next time you encounter such a thing, remember to wake me up." It's true that Ximen Xiu's mind works quickly, but Yang Xiao likes to make his own decisions.

Hearing this, both Ximen Xiu and Zhuge Zhijie looked at Yang Xiao with strange eyes. Finally, Zhuge Zhijie spoke and said doubtfully: "Captain, we called you, but you were quite angry when you woke up and didn't give any advice at all. With a good face, he took one look at us, turned around and went to sleep again. Yang Xiao was stunned when he heard this, "When, why don't I remember? "

Zhuge Zhijie counted the time and recalled: "About...about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, more than an hour ago."

I didn't lie to them. Yang Xiao really had no memory at all. He only remembered that it was just now when he opened his eyes. Yang Xiao asked tentatively: "Then when I woke up, was there anything wrong?"

Ximen Xiu smiled and said: "It's okay. Captain, don't take it to heart. You are just stupid in your sleep. It doesn't matter if you have a bad attitude. We are brothers and have nothing to say."

Zhuge Zhijie, on the other hand, scratched his head and recalled: "In addition to your bad temper, Captain, your face is not very good-looking, you are gray. Ximen Xiu also secretly said that you are definitely overworking and have kidney problems."

Hearing this, Ximen Xiu said angrily: "Zhuge Pifu, you are spreading rumors again. It's obviously you who said the captain's kidney is not good!"

Yang Xiao had no time to pay attention to the two of them. The strong feeling of panic made him at a loss. In a daze, the gray figure close to himself that he had accidentally seen in the bronze mirror appeared in his mind.

Could it be that...there is something else in the mirror world?
