After leaving the apartment, Shen Xing went to the street and took a taxi and went straight to Old City No. 1 School.
He went to the school gate to register, but Shen Xing was still not allowed in. Instead, the security guard called the class teacher, Mr. Zhu.
After a while, Teacher Zhu and another short and fat teacher walked toward the door while holding Lin Feifei by one hand.
Shen Xing took a closer look at Feifei's expression and saw that her face was a little pale. There was nothing special about her for the time being.
Teacher Zhu handed Feifei's heavy schoolbag to Shen Xing and said: "I just made a cup of glucose for her in the infirmary. She seems to be better now, but she cannot ignore it and must be taken to the hospital for examination. one time."
"Well, okay, thank you, Teacher Zhu. Sorry to trouble you!" Shen Xing nodded, took Feifei with one hand, and carried her schoolbag with the other hand.
After chatting with the two teachers for a few words, Shen Xing took Feifei to the hospital at the urging of Teacher Zhu.
When he left the school gate and stood on the street waiting for the bus, Shen Xing bent down and asked Feifei: "Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Feifei shook her head.
"Did you encounter something?"
Feifei nodded, as if she remembered the scene just now, her body trembled slightly, and she spoke softly.
"A girl wearing a weird colorful dress with a bow on her head was standing outside the classroom staring at me just now."
Shen Xing reached out and gently stroked her little head and asked, "Did she say something?"
"No, I'm just laughing. I laugh out loud from time to time." Feifei replied.
"Then you were frightened and fainted?" Shen Xing was puzzled.
"No, I pretended to be dizzy on purpose, because this way I will attract the teacher's attention and call you over as soon as possible, otherwise they will definitely ask questions when they can't see the little girl." Feifei said.
"Did you encounter anything unusual when you entered the school alone this morning?" Shen Xing asked.
Feifei thought about it seriously and then shook her head: "No, just like before, I met my classmates at the school gate. We went in together and didn't meet any other strangers. The braised eggs you bought for me were also bought after the first class. I just ate it, um, is there something wrong with the braised eggs, will it cause hallucinations if I eat them?"
Shen Xing thought for a while: "Well, we can't rule out this situation for the time being, so let's go home now."
Not long after, a taxi stopped and the two of them got into the back seat of the taxi.
After sitting down, Shen Xing smiled and asked, "Do you still feel any discomfort in your body now?"
"No, my heartbeat is racing and my face is pale. It's because I'm scared." Feifei replied in a low voice.
"By the way, the young lady you saw yesterday has no ill intentions towards you. You can try to make friends with her." Shen Xing said.
Feifei looked at him sideways: "Then the young lady will always be with us?"
"No, but that may be the case at this stage." Shen Xing replied.
The cat puppet is different from Achai, who is almost completely anthropomorphic. She also owns her own business and handles some mundane matters. She can help Shen Xing in some aspects, allowing him to get twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, the cat puppet itself has relatively strong characteristics and abilities. It is no problem to help Shen Xing sometimes.
Moreover, Shen Xing is now a little afraid of attracting the black domain envoys to appear. If the black domain is frequently activated, the black domain envoys that are triggered by this extremely small probability may one day be summoned again.
Facing the messenger from the black realm, although his strength has now increased, Shen Xing still cannot guarantee that he can truly resist the opponent.
After all, the current messenger from the Black Domain is only using a hatchet to carry out purely physical attacks, and he has no choice but to escape. If that guy has many back-ups or useless trump cards, he will have no chance of surviving.
When she heard that the cat-faced girl would live with her for a while, Feifei didn't speak, but just lowered her head, seeming to be thinking about something.
"What? Do you think there's anything wrong with her?" Shen Xing asked.
"It feels very strange." Feifei said honestly: "I feel that she wants to get close to me, but for some reason, she is avoiding me."
"Have you seen this?" Shen Xing was surprised.
"Intuition." Feifei nodded, "The book "The Sky at the Bottom of the Well" said that we should not be trapped in the small piece of sky that can only be seen, but should use an infinite heart to Observe all aspects of things, be good at discovering new things and find things that are different.”
"So..." Having said this, Feifei raised her head and looked at Shen Xing, "I feel that the reason why this cat sister is deliberately avoiding me is because she seems to have no solution to something, so she can only deliberately reduce the chance of facing us. dont know if it is like this?"
"Sometimes, it seems that reading more books is not a bad thing." Shen Xing looked Feifei up and down.
Back at the apartment, the cat puppet never showed up.
Shen Xing asked Feifei to lie down and rest for a while. Today he was going to cook scrambled eggs and rice himself.
Egg fried rice is something that is easy to say and difficult to make.
The simple thing is that anyone can fry it casually, but if you want to fry it well, you need certain skills.
Shen Xing feels good about himself. If egg fried rice is also divided into levels, if there are five levels from low to high, he thinks that his skill in fried egg rice has been ranked at least fourth level.
Usually, he only has the opportunity to show off his skills when Feifei is not cooking, and Chacha Feifei also likes to eat his egg fried rice. Although it tastes the same to Feifei, at least it can be something new.
Shen Xing's specific method is to first beat several eggs in a bowl and mix thoroughly, then pour the mixed eggs into the overnight rice that has become granular, mix everything thoroughly again, wait until the oil in the pot reaches 70% temperature, and add chopped green onions. Put the ginger and garlic in the pot until the aroma is released, then scoop up the scum, then pour the rice wrapped with eggs into the pot, add an appropriate amount of salt, stir-fry evenly for a while and then take it out of the pot.
Sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions before serving to make it even more fragrant and refreshing.
Of course, what Feifei likes is not the fragrance, but that each rice grain is wrapped with eggs, which looks golden and brilliant. It looks very good and is completely different from the egg rice fried by her mother Lin Wanru. She can pick them one by one. Eat slowly.
After carrying the fried egg rice to Feifei's bedroom, Shen Xing sat aside and chatted with her while eating it quickly.
After Shen Xing went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and tidy up the stove, Feifei had already gotten up and called her classmates, and also completed today's homework, which was amazingly efficient.
The two of them came to the living room and lay down on the sofa. They turned on the TV and looked for a drama. They watched and chatted about it.
Unknowingly, Feifei rested her little head on the waist of Shen Xing who was half lying down, while Shen Xing unconsciously patted her shoulder lightly.
"Uncle Shen."
"Um?"
"I miss my mother!"
Shen Xing was stunned for a moment. He remembered that Feifei's mother was still in the morgue of the forensic room of the Sheriff's Department at first. Later, the anatomy and research should have been completed. After it was found that there was no research value, Feifei's mother had been secretly sent to the funeral parlor for cremation.
However, the special team will definitely not bury corpses that have had abnormal conditions like ordinary people like ordinary people, but will secretly carry out some kind of traceless removal.
"I'll ask you tomorrow. Let's go see your mother together in a few days."
"Can you still see it?" Feifei raised her head slightly and looked at Shen Xing.
"You can go pay her respects, um, that should be okay." Shen Xing nodded.
Feifei got up and went to her bedroom, and soon walked out with a photo of Lin Wanru's upper body in her hand: "We can send this photo to put on mom's tombstone."
"OK."
Shen Xing took it and took a look. In the photo, Lin Wanru was wearing a mid-sleeve dress, with wavy hair. Her hair must have been dyed and turned slightly yellow, and she had a sweet smile.
"My mom used to lose me when I was younger."
Feifei laughed at this time and fell into memories. She told Shen Xing some interesting past events that her mother had told her.
Soon after, Feifei's eyes turned red and she yawned. Shen Xing touched her forehead and told her to go to bed early.
After the little guy finished washing and walked into the bedroom, he got up and turned off the TV. Then he returned to his bedroom, opened the door slightly, but did not close it completely. He took out his phone and called Li Naijing.
The call was quickly connected. Li Naijing seemed to be having a late-night snack, and the sound was a bit noisy. She waited until the other party found a quiet place to have a normal conversation.
"I haven't contacted you in the past few days because there are very few abnormal cases. Wenbo and I can handle it." Li Naijing thought Shen Xing was going to ask this, so she started to explain as soon as she opened her mouth.
"It's okay." Shen Xing said: "I still don't lack the case fee. I have other things to ask you. Do you know where Feifei's mother's body is now?"
The other party was obviously stunned for a while, and then replied: "It has been eliminated. After our research failed, we sent it to the Heshan City Special Investigation Team for further research. After confirming that there was no abnormality in the body, it was processed without traces."
"No ashes left?" Shen Xing asked.
"Ashes? Yes." Li Naijing said: "However, any abnormal ashes after removal will be buried in a designated place. Lin Wanru's ashes have long been mixed with other ashes and cannot be separated at all."
Shen Xing fell into silence.
Li Naijing on the other end was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Why do you ask this?"
"Feifei said she wanted to see her mother." Shen Xing didn't hide anything.
"well--"
Li Naijing sighed, thought for a while, and said: "It seems that the skirt Lin Wanru wore before she committed the corpse fraud, that is, when she was murdered, is still in the forensic room of our Public Security Department. Because it was originally handled as an ordinary homicide case, so that The dress was not destroyed, and Lin Wanru was wearing the same clothes she changed into in the morgue when she faked her body. Well, let me confirm."
As she spoke, she seemed to be instructing Zhao Wenbo beside her to call for confirmation.
Not long after, Li Naijing got the answer and said with certainty: "I just asked someone to check it, and Lin Wanru's dress is indeed still in the relic storage center of the forensic room."
After a pause, Li Naijing said: "Actually, the thing that has passed the destruction time was deliberately preserved by Forensic Doctor Wang Jingzhong because it has something to do with anomalies. You also know that Forensic Doctor Wang is usually keen on detecting anomalies, and is very interested in detecting anomalies. I like to explore the roots.”
"What do you mean..." Shen Xing probably guessed what Li Naijing was thinking.
"We can make a tomb." Li Naijing said.
Shen Xing pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Then you go to Forensic Doctor Wang in two days and take out Lin Wanru's clothes. Tomorrow I will go to Fenglingshan Cemetery in our city and buy a cemetery for Lin Wanru. Let's put 'her' Buried there, let Feifei have a place to express her grief."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xing opened the ajar bedroom door and went to the bathroom.
At this time, Feifei was standing behind the door of her bedroom. Her body that had been pressed against the door slowly moved away. Her tears rolled down one by one. She reached out to wipe them with her sleeves and returned to the bed silently. Pull the quilt and cover it gently.
At this moment, Feifei curled up her body together and formed a small ball in the quilt, as if she suddenly became very small, very insignificant.
About ten minutes later, Shen Xing came out of the bathroom and saw that Feifei's bedroom door was closed. He was slightly startled, walked over and slowly opened it.
He walked in and turned on the electric radiator in the bedroom. Although the heating effect was much worse after the bedroom door was open, Shen Xing could feel at ease in this way.
He quickly returned to his bedroom, keeping the door ajar but not completely closed. After walking to a position closer to the inside, he spoke softly: "Consultant."
After waiting for a moment, he said again: "Consultant? Is he gone?"
Familiar writing soon appeared on the wall.
【No time. 】
"I don't have time to sign the first contract with you?" Shen Xing laughed, knowing the origin of the other person's mood at the moment.
[Tell me, what are your contract requirements? Still looking for Ye Ting? But having said that, during this time, I made new discoveries about Ye Ting's information. 】
The "consultant" seemed to recover quickly, and the unpleasantness of the day had been forgotten.
However, this guy is very sophisticated and has a knife hidden in his smile. You have to be very alert when dealing with him.
After hearing what the "consultant" said, Shen Xing's heartbeat accelerated a little. After a moment of silence, his expression remained unchanged and he shook his head: "No."
[Oh, then what is the purpose of your contract? 】
Shen Xing did not answer immediately, but suddenly said: "Before signing a contract with you, I want to know if you are doing something to me secretly?"
[…I don’t understand what you mean. 】
"Are you asking someone to investigate or plot against me?" Shen Xing said bluntly.
[Hahaha, I want to investigate and plot against you, do I need to entrust someone else? 】
The writing on the wall changes rapidly.
[Although I can only communicate with you and cannot see where you are now, with my own ability, I can easily find out everything about you. All it takes is a little more time. 】
Shen Xing fell into deep thought, stretched out his index finger and tapped his chin lightly.
After a long time, he spoke again: "Help me check, who is entrusting the cat puppet to harm me?"
【Cat doll? okay. Could you please make sure that this is the purpose of your contract? 】
"I'm sure." Shen Xing nodded.
The "advisor" seemed to be thinking about something, and no text was displayed for the time being.
After about a minute, a line of text appeared.
[This information is a little difficult, I need some time to confirm. Before I get to that, I wonder if you want to hear what my deal is? 】
"You said it." Shen Xing nodded, and then reminded: "But you should still remember what I said at the beginning, what you ask me to do cannot violate my principles."
【Of course……】
…
"Is it hot for gym class today?"
Lin Wanru took off her school uniform for Feifei, who had just returned home from school.
"Well, it's so hot."
Feifei threw her schoolbag on the sofa, ran to the water dispenser, took a glass of water and drank it up in one gulp, then she reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Turning to look at her mother, she saw Lin Wanru walking into the bedroom holding her school uniform with a smile on her face.
At first glance, the smile seems stiff and fake, as if it's fixed on the face.
"Mom?" Feifei was stunned for a moment, but did not get an answer from Lin Wanru.
Feifei quickly followed and came to the door of the bedroom. She looked inside and found that the room was completely dark. Only one-third of the bedside table near the door could be seen. The rest of the space in the bedroom seemed to be submerged in darkness.
"Mom?" Feifei didn't dare to go in, so she stood at the door and shouted again.
"Come in." Lin Wanru's voice came quickly, "I'm here, you come in."
Feifei shook her head quickly, looking horrified, but took a step back: "Mom, where are you? It's too dark inside, I dare not go in."
"Come in, come in quickly..." Lin Wanru's voice still sounded, but no one could be seen, and there was only darkness in front of Feifei's eyes.
At this time, Feifei did not advance but retreated, taking another step back, shaking her head: "No, no, mom, come out quickly! I'm scared!"
There was no movement in the darkness, and Lin Wanru's voice did not come out again. There was dead silence all around, except for Feifei's slightly rapid breathing caused by fear.
The next second, in the bedroom as dark as thick ink, Lin Wanru rushed out of the darkness with a ferocious face and blood-red eyes. She stretched her arms forward and clasped Feifei's neck with her ten fingers with sharp nails.
Feifei couldn't avoid it at all. She was startled and suddenly sat up from the bed, panting heavily and covered in cold sweat.
It took a few seconds for her to come back to her senses. She had just had a nightmare.
The bedroom was a little dark, and she didn't know what time it was, but under the electric radiator that was always on, there was a hazy yellow indicator light that was always on, which allowed Feifei to barely see the scene in the bedroom in front of her.
I saw a figure squatting there next to the electric radiator, with his head lowered, so that Feifei could only see his dark hair.
"Mom?" Feifei asked in surprise.
