With the arrival of night, the sultry heat that pervaded Star City finally subsided. The moon hanging in the sky lost a bit of its presence in the dimly lit city. Looking at the endless traffic on the road, it seemed like there was a hanging A red lantern.
The low-rise houses form a strong contrast with the brightly lit shopping mall not far away. The arch bridge that separates the two places is like a dividing line, with one side being quiet and the other side being busy, clearly distinct.
The faces of the uncles and aunties sitting enjoying the cool air at the entrance of the alley were full of pride. They gently shook the cattail fans in their hands and said in a very determined tone: "This place must be demolished!"
"When the time comes, we will be of the same mind, but we need to pay more attention to it."
"Um……"
In the dark alley, the neatly paved paths with bluestone slabs have become pitted with the ravages of time. Under the eaves on both sides, tiny holes have appeared due to the baptism of rain all year round. At first glance, they look like honeycombs. It has been perfectly verified here.
It is not a spacious alley, but there is a car parked there. The people who live here must have good driving skills. Every car seems to be closely attached to the gray wall, and only the head can be pressed against the wall tiles. See some subtle gaps.
But even so, scratches are inevitable in normal life. The answer to this can be found from the fenders of cars parked in the alley, and the already narrow alley has become even more cramped because of these cars.
What is different from usual is that in the alley tonight, there is a man and a woman who look a little unfamiliar. The man is tall and majestic, and handsome. The girl is tall, with short hair, clean and neat, with delicate features, quite a bit... The quiet temperament of the girl next door.
"Gu Yuan, did you remember correctly? Is this here?"
"Of course, I remember the address very clearly." Gu Yuan said softly.
Since awakening to become a transcendent, Gu Yuan's memory has greatly improved compared to before.
Just like watching the surveillance video of Xia Feng's murder scene repeatedly before, he could imprint the appearance of each person in his mind, and then he was able to find Song Yang, a person who appeared twice in a row.
Even an experienced official like Gu Jianshan might not be able to do this. In the past two days, what Gu Jianshan said the most was: It's a pity that Xiao Yuanzi doesn't work in the Yamen.
"Then what should we do now? Knock on the door? Go in and find him?" Bai Yu asked.
Gu Yuan shook his head.
He had warned Gu Jianshan before not to alert others.
How could he do such a thing?
"Our only purpose this time is to determine whether there is evil spirit in Song Yang and his family." Gu Yuan said seriously.
Bai Yu nodded.
Li Siming asked Bai Yu and Gu Yuan to handle this matter together because she also had something in her hand that could identify evil spirits.
In fact, Gu Yuan himself also had things in his hands that could sense demonic energy. One was his MP3 player, and the other was the Xuanqing dagger that Wei Xuanyi put with him as collateral.
It's just that Gu Yuan is not from the Demon Suppression Department after all. With Bai Yu by his side, he will feel more confident.
He inserted the earphones into his ears, thought about it, and held the Xuanqing dagger in his hand.
"Xuanqing dagger?" Bai Yu, who was standing next to Gu Yuan, immediately widened his eyes when he saw the Xuanqing dagger. He subconsciously grabbed Gu Yuan's wrist and asked hurriedly, "This is the Xuanqing of the Wei family?" Why is the dagger in your hand?"
"Um...this sounds a bit complicated." Gu Yuan scratched his head and said, "To put it simply, Wei Xuanyi owed me a few meals and then pledged the Xuanqing dagger to me."
Bai Yu squinted his eyes, and roughly understood what was going on, and immediately said: "You may have been taken advantage of by her."
"Huh? Why do you say that?" Gu Yuan asked curiously.
Bai Yu continued: "This Xuanqing dagger is indeed a treasure. The Wei family once obtained a damaged weapon, which seemed to be a long sword. Later, the soldiers of the Wei family fused it into three daggers. The Wei family The head of the family has a Xuanqing dagger in his hand, and the second one is in the hands of the eldest son of the head of the Wei family. If Wei Xuanyi has a Xuanqing dagger, he must have an unusual status in the Wei family."
Gu Yuan suddenly realized.
"It is rumored that the Wei family's Xuanqing dagger can not only sense demons, but is also a powerful weapon for killing demons."
When Gu Yuan heard this, he still didn't quite understand.
"Then why do you say Wei Xuanyi took advantage of me?"
Bai Yu raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said: "Because, the Wei family can also sense Wei Xuanyi's position through the Xuanqing dagger. She has a high status in the Wei family, but she needs to find a job, wants to sell songs, and even has no money to eat. , I am afraid that I have a conflict with my family, and now that I have entrusted you with the Xuanqing Dagger for safekeeping, I am afraid that I also have the intention of getting rid of surveillance."
Gu Yuan's head was buzzing after hearing Bai Yu's words.
It was originally a simple matter, but when Bai Yu analyzed it like this, it always felt a lot more complicated.
"The Wei family won't cause trouble for me, right?" Gu Yuan said worriedly.
"Don't worry, anyway, this Xuanqing dagger was entrusted to you by Wei Xuanyi for safekeeping. No matter what, there is no reason to be at odds with you." Bai Yu said with relief.
After hearing this, Gu Yuan felt a little relieved.
He didn't want to provoke the Wei family, it sounded very serious.
I walked around Song Yang's house, but the little girl in the earphones didn't give any hints.
Gu Yuan looked at Bai Yu again, and Bai Yu also shook his head.
She was holding an old lantern in her hand, and Bai Yu told him that if there was evil spirit nearby, the lantern would light up.
"Could it be that your previous guess was wrong?" Bai Yu said.
Gu Yuan didn't speak, but his face didn't look very good.
This was the answer he least expected.
"Maybe Song Yang is not at home now, let's wait." Gu Yuan said.
"Um."
Enduring mosquito bites and the same looks from people around me.
Especially the uncles and aunts passing by would always have meaningful smiles on their faces when looking at Gu Yuan and Bai Yu hiding in the corner of the alley, as if they thought this was a pair of wild mandarin ducks trying to make love in the dark alley. Something inappropriate for children.
After waiting for almost half an hour, just when Bai Yu was about to speak, Gu Yuan suddenly whispered: "He's back."
Bai Yu immediately cheered up, looked at the lantern in his hand, raised his head again, and looked forward.
A young man wearing a T-shirt and shorts, with a pair of wireless headphones plugged into his ears, holding a bottle of mineral water with a normal amount left in his hand, humming a song, was walking towards them.
At this distance, being able to see the other person's face clearly is also a skill.
Maybe Bai Yu's memory is not as good as Gu Yuan's, but after all, he just saw Song Yang's photo, and when the young man got closer, Bai Yu recognized him at a glance.
But when she lowered her head and looked at the lantern in her hand, it did not light up.
The Xuanqing dagger in Gu Yuan's hand did not respond, and the little girl in the MP3 also did not give any reminder.
"Is there no evil spirit..." Gu Yuan's face looked a little ugly.
"It seems that you guessed wrong." Bai Yu glanced at him and said, "Maybe this is really just a coincidence."
Gu Yuan shook his head.
He didn't believe it was just a coincidence.
It would be a coincidence if Song Yang appeared at different scenes twice.
Then, how should we explain the grudge between Song Wu and Zhao Yu?
"Go back, let's think about other possibilities." Bai Yu comforted.
But Gu Yuan suddenly strode towards Song Yang, and stretched out his arm to block the other party's way.
"Gu Yuan..." Bai Yu shouted softly, suddenly not knowing what this guy wanted to do.
