Lian Xi was still thinking about the reaper at home so after chatting with Chen Kai, he said goodbye, got in a taxi and went home.
When he got home, it was already six o’clock in the evening.
In October, the night came earlier. When Lian Xi returned home, the room was completely dark. He was stunned, turned on the light in the living room and whispered: “Lie Chen?”
No one answered and his voice echoed in the empty house.
Putting on his slippers, Lian Xi searched and finally found the Black Reaper sitting on the bed in the bedroom.
In a dimly lit room, only a faint light shone through the window into the room. It illuminated a small area in front of the bed and also the reaper sitting by the bed.
There are a total of four bedrooms in this house. Lian Xi and Su Jiao live in the two larger master bedrooms and Lie Chen lives in the smaller second bedroom because of his late arrival. Strictly speaking, it should be a child’s room. There were many special-shaped stickers of cartoon dolls on the wall. There are not many things in the room but it is clean and simple and contains just a table, a wardrobe, a chair and a bed.
Although he has lived in this room for a long time, it seems that Lie Chen has never used this furniture. There was nothing on the table and the chairs were neatly placed, there were no signs of them having been sat on. The closet was empty and there were some folds on the bed but the sleeping place was very flat.
At this moment, the handsome and indifferent Black Reaper sits on the head of the bed. His back was upright, his head bowed. He was frowning as he held the mobile phone.
Staring…
Lian Xi turned on the light with a snap.
Lie Chen looked up at him.
Lian Xi tilted his head slightly and asked, “Why don’t you turn on the lights or make a sound?”
Lie Chen: “I forgot.”
How good his colleague was in catching ghosts was how much of an idiot he was in daily life. Lian Xi secretly speculated that Black Reaper may be an old ghost who has been dead for many years. He finally got the opportunity to be sent to the living world to be a reaper but he lost his memory when he was unearthed. Resulting in him becoming a complete idiot in life, with a very low EQ.
Seeing Lord Black Reaper’s calm look, Lian Xi sighed lightly.
Forget it, what else can I do? I can only forgive you.
Lian Xi walked over and said, “How are you going with your phone? I downloaded QQ and WeChat for you before, have you used it? Add me as a friend first.”
Only halfway through, Lian Xi stopped. His face changed slightly and he listened carefully to a strange sound of music in the room. This is not particularly familiar but it seems that the background music that he heard made Lian Xi’s expression constantly change. Finally he looked at the source of the music…
Lian Xi: “What song is on your phone?” He remembered that he hadn’t downloaded any songs for President Lie? Did he do it himself?
Lie Chen looked straightforward and said confident;y: “I don’t know.”
Lian Xi walked over with a weird expression: “No, how come there are music software with this kind of song now? Is this QQ Music or Netease Cloud…” The voice stopped abruptly and as he walked over to his colleague, Lian Xi lowered his head and saw something on the screen of the other person’s phone.
“Live beauties dealing cards, tens of millions of players online, hundreds of millions are waiting for you to win!”
Lian Xi: “???”
I only left for two hours! How did you end up on this kind of porn site!
Yes, this familiar background music, coupled with revealing photos of beautiful women, was definitely an online porn site!
Lian Xi never thought that his own black reaper was actually such a person!
But fortunately, just before the video advertisement of the porn site was about to end and before officially entering the website, Lian Xi blankly covered President Lie’s phone and said: “Hey Siri.”
A non-emotional mechanical female voice jumped out. “Yeah, what can I help you with?”
Lian Xi: “Close all URLs.”
“Okay, all URLs have been closed for you.”
Lie Chen: “???”
Lian Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He coughed twice and asked Lie Chen: “Uh, Lord Black Reaper, how did you find this website?”
Lie Chen: “URL? What website?”
Lian Xi said without changing his face: “Live beauties dealing cards online. The one you just saw. “
Lie Chen: “I don’t know.”
Lian Xi: “?”
Lie Chen: “I don’t know what I pressed. But after I pressed it, that thing popped up. But after I opened it, it seemed to be quite dirty.” The Black Reaper instantly narrowed his eyes, “Could it be that there are jobs in it?”
Lian Xi, “…”
As long as you’re happy.
“I’ll teach you some basic things. As long as you know these basics, you can figure out the rest by yourself.” Lian Xi said. He turned sideways and took the opportunity to sit down next to Lie Chen. The soft bed quilt was dented a lot because of the addition of one more person which also made Lie Chen slip into the depression a little bit uncontrollably. The bodies of the two met together and Lian Xi was slightly startled. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the man beside him.
Under the bright light, Lie Chen closed his eyes and looked at the phone screen faintly, as if there was nothing unusual.
After a few seconds, Lian Xi retracted his gaze: “First of all, you unlock the phone by swiping your face. See this small black spot. In fact, it is a camera. You don’t need to worry about what the camera is. Anyway, it can let you inside…” Suddenly, Lian Xi’s voice paused and he saw a few golden lights flying from the man’s body to his side inexplicably.
Because he is teaching President Lie how to play with his mobile phone, President Lie is very satisfied?
Thinking about it this way, Lian Xi worked harder. He took out his mobile phone: “I will show you it.” After a little movement, the two bodies leaning together separated again.
Lian Xi: “Look at my phone…”
His voice stopped sharply and his eyes widened. He stared at the three golden lights that had just flown down from Lie Chen swish and then flew back!
Lian Xi turned his head and looked at his colleague.
Perceiving the young man’s gaze, Lie Chen turned his eyes calmly and glanced at him: “Something the matter?”
Lian Xi: “???”
This expression and voice seems to be no different from just now!
Don’t try to guess the black reaper’s mind, it doesn’t make sense at all.
He shook his head internally but because he hasn’t been cursed with red light recently, the demand for golden light was not so great. So he decided to ignore why those three golden lights just came out and then flew back. Lian Xi continued to explain: “Here, you look at my phone, you just press this place…”
After teaching for about half an hour, Lian Xi let Lie Chen go on to play with his mobile phone.
Before leaving Lie Chen’s room, Lian Xi looked up and down at him suspiciously but none of the golden lights entwined around him was willing to fly over.
Lian Xi thought this was all very tiring. It was easier to do live broadcasting.
It was another peaceful and quiet night.
SuZhou City’s White Reaper opened the live broadcast room and began the long-lost live broadcast.
SuZhou’s Black Reaper was playing with his mobile phone silently in his room. At first, he swiped the screen very slowly and sometimes tilted his head and looked at the phone, staring blankly. But soon he became more and more skilled. He opened WeChat and found his friend’s address book.
In the empty address book, there was only Lian Xi’s name currently.
Lie Chen thought for a while, then clicked on Lian Xi’s portrait and zoomed in.
The square picture instantly flooded the entire screen.
The picture shows a black-haired young man wearing a bachelor graduation’s hat and gown. He was standing on the lawn with a short and quaint looking three-story red brick building behind him. He tilted his head slightly and looked at the screen with a smile and was flashing a typical “yeah” sign at the camera. The brilliant sun shone down on the young man but it did not seem to be as dazzling as the person himself nor as warm as him.
Lie Chen looked at the photo on the screen, lost in thought. However, there was still no expression on that cold and profound face.
On the other side, in the bedroom, Lian Xi played games and broadcast live.
He hadn’t broadcast live for several days and there were not many fans in the live broadcast room. There are only a few people who gag at each other, apparently using the dumb live broadcast room as a chat room.
It was another victory without suspense and Lian Xi looked at his record.
Well, at the beginning of this season, he has scored 2000 points, ranking in the top 100 in the country. It seems that there is no problem with the national service this month, and he could hand over the bill to the boss. {Again not sure, but has to do with the gaming jobs he does to supplement his income.}
Although he earns one million a month and has several million in deposits, Lian Xi doesn’t want to let go of his boss’s 8,000 yuan national service list.
A fly’s leg is also a leg, not to mention that it is eight thousand yuan. This fly’s leg also quite big!
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at his door in amazement. He saw two golden lights slowly drifting in from outside the door, little by little, and then drifted into his body!
Lian Xi: “???”
What did I do?
I didn’t do anything! So why did you give golden light again?
The reaper’s mind is harder to guess than a woman’s!
***
Sleep during the day, live broadcast in the evening, then catch ghosts in the middle of the night.
Three days later, SuZhou’s ghost officials returned to a normal rhythm of life.
Before the live broadcast that night, Lian Xi opened the reaper record and looked at the performance ranking of the month. He sighed helplessly.
The month’s performance ranking (JiangSu, ZheJiang and ShangHai)
1st place, SuZhou City, JiangSu Province’s ghost officials with a performance of 51,223 points.
2nd place, WenZhou, ZheJiang Province’s ghost officials with a performance of 18,874 points.
3rd place, ShangHai’s ghost officials…
Look at WenZhou!
They directly rose by 18,000 points in three days!
Lian Xi suddenly felt a sense of tension being chased.
He was contemplating the special ability of WenZhou’s ghost officials to earn points. At this moment, the doorbell rang. Lian Xi walked to the door and when passing the Black Reaper’s room, he saw that President Lie was no longer sitting in a tight-knit manner like on the first day. He was now lying on the bed and playing with his mobile phone.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lian Xi walked to the door and looked through the peephole.
Then he opened the door: “Xiao-Liu? Is there something the matter?”
Standing outside the door is the real estate agent Xiao-Liu.
He saw the short-haired girl holding a box of mooncakes and smiling: “It’s all good. Mr. Lian, it’s almost Mid-Autumn Festival. Our company gives out a lot of mooncakes, some of which are for old customers. I brought them over for you.”
Lian Xi was stunned, looking down at the mooncake box in the little girl’s hand.
It’s normal for real estate companies to give holiday gifts to old customers, but they are usually for large customers who rent luxury houses and want to buy houses. For small tenants like Lian Xi and Lie Chen, the rental company will not take care of them at all. This box of mooncakes was probably sent by Xiao-Liu who specially applied for them.
He took the mooncakes in silence and said, “Thank you. Oh, yes, a friend sent me some country specialties before. Do you want some? We can’t eat it all anyway. Come in and have some water to drink.”
“Oh no, there’s no need.”
“It’s okay, come in.”
Xiao-Liu entered the room.
Lian Xi went into the kitchen, filled a plastic bag with some native eggs and Uncle Li’s home grown vegetables and gave them to Xiao-Liu.
“This is from my old neighbour from my old place that got demolished. After that he built a house back in his hometown. He grew these himself and they are good to eat.”
“Green vegetables ah, really thank you, Mr. Lian.”
Lian Xi whispered in his heart: Thank you.
Xiao-Liu: “By the way, wasn’t Mr. Su involved in a murder case before? That case seems to be solved now. Isn’t Mr. Su at home?”
“There is something going on with him back in his hometown.” Lian Xi asked, “The case is solved?”
Xiao-Liu laughed:” Yes ah, it seems that the police searched for a long time on the surveillance videos and found a suspect had appeared at the scene according to the news reports. The suspect was an old man. He actually had a stroke when the police broke in to arrest him. He had been trapped on the ground for a few days so the police actually saved his life.”
Lian Xi showed a surprised look: “Something like this actually happened?”
Xiao-Liu nodded, “Yes, I heard from our colleague in the store has a nephew who works at the police station. He said that the police searched the old man’s house and guess what? There were a few ceramic doll statues hidden in the old man’s house, which are very similar to the statue where the victim’s body was hidden! The police also found the blood stains of the murdered female college student in the old man’s house. It is estimated that it will be announced in two days. The investigation result of the case is over.” Xiao-Liu sighed: “Oh, I didn’t expect that an old man picking up rubbish actually killed someone. That girl was too pitiful.”
After sending Xiao-Liu away, Lian Xi searched the Internet for news about Sun Yan. Murder. Sure enough, although the police have not released the details of the investigation yet, many locals in SuZhou City were already stating on the Internet that the police have caught the murderer. Some have even taken videos of the police carrying the old man who had had a “stroke” into the ambulance.
Surveillance video? Doll statue? There was even bloodstained DNA?
The effect of this Meng Po soup is really amazing.
Currently at SuZhou City’s Public Security Bureau.
The case has made great progress and the evidence is conclusive. It is estimated that the case will be finalized tomorrow. All the criminal police were excited and motivated.
The little detective entered the pantry with a thermos cup. He was humming a little song happily. He looked up and saw his master sitting in the office, looking down at the thick file, frowning. He wondered what he was thinking.
The little detective walked over and knocked on the door: “Master, what are you doing? Why do you look upset? Are you unhappy that you have caught the murderer?”
“I’m happy, why should I be upset.” Deputy Wu was seated. Behind the desk, he leaned back against the back of the chair and tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically. “But you know, we watched the surveillance video dozens of times before, dozens of times and we never found any trace of that old man. But after Lian Xi came out to provide eyewitness testimony, we then saw it.”
The little detective considered this and said: “Master, do you know there is a theory about that.”
Deputy Wu asked, “What theory?”
Little detective: “When you don’t know that there is a pink ball in a group of red balls, you will never notice the existence of the pink ball when you look through it. But when someone suddenly tells you that there is a pink ball inside, you will suddenly see it, and even feel that it stands out particularly. It seems impossible that you haven’t seen it before.”
Deputy Wu team: “Ah? There is actually a theory like this? What is it called?”
The little detective smiled, “Qiao’s Theorem.”
Deputy Wu: “…”
“Qiao YuXuan, you fucking idiot. Don’t play with this old man!”
“Hahahaha, master, you laughed just now.”
***
Lian Xi and Gem Guild signed a live broadcast contract. It was specially approved by Xu Lang, and the conditions were very loose.
Live broadcast for 200 hours a month and the minimum gift amount is not required. The monthly basic salary is 10,000 yuan. This contract is like a pie falling from the sky for all anchors. The basic salary is not super high but the work requirement is even less. But this month, Lian Xi felt that the length of his live broadcast was a bit borderline.
He seized the opportunity and broadcasted another night.
At twelve o’clock in the morning, Lian Xi was about to go out to catch ghosts with Lie Chen when suddenly, his cell phone rang.
Looking at the name flashing on the screen of the phone, he felt a guilty conscience. He answered the phone.
On the other side of the phone, a man’s mature and steady laughter came: “Lian Cheng, long time no see. Or should I just call you by your real name, Lian Xi?”
Lian Xi was silent for a moment and said: “The duration of my live broadcast was a bit shorter than before but I’ll make up for the time. Although the contract is indeed a bit inappropriate. If you want to change it, I can cooperate.”
Xu Lang was stunned and then smiled: “Mr. Lian, you have misunderstood. I am not calling to talk about your live broadcast.”
Not about the live broadcast? Lian Xi: “What is it then?”
Xu Lang: “Here’s the thing. As I told you before, although I invest in live broadcasting and that’s my main business, my family is in the entertainment industry. Recently, something strange has happened to an artist in our company. That’s why I thought of you…”
It has to be said that apart from the businessman’s nature of eating human bones, Xu Lang has a good way of talking and doing things. He didn’t take Lian Xi seriously before so he was arrogant and contemptuous towards him. But now that he regards Lian Xi as an important person to communicate with, he immediately had a 180-degree turn in his attitude which was just like a spring breeze. Lian Xi couldn’t fault him at all.
Something happened to an artist?
Lian Xi frowned and remembered.
It seems that Xu Lang once said that his family is a business in the entertainment industry and live broadcasting is just his own business.
Lian Xi said indifferently: “I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand what you are talking about.”
Xu Lang spoke mildly: “Of course I won’t ask you to help for free. There will be a reward. This artist is a popular actor that my company strongly supports and values very much. We already contacted many Masters but they weren’t able to help us so I thought I’d have to trouble you.”
Lian Xi thought for a while, “Is he in SuZhou City?”
Since Xu Lang asked, if the incident took place in SuZhou City then Lian Xi didn’t mind to go and take a look, perhaps they could get some performance points.
Xu Lang: “In HengDian. He was filming when the incident happened.”
HengDian? That was in ZheJiang Province. It seems to be quite far away.
Lian Xi shook his head and said: “I’m sorry, I can’t help.”
Xu Lang: “Is Mr. Lian really unwilling to help?”
Lian Xi: “Sorry, it is not convenient for me.” Going to ZheJiang Province back and forth… after wasting a whole day, there may be no ghosts to catch at all. And even if there was, those points were on someone else’s turf. They hadn’t even finished catching their own ghosts, there was no need to go to such a far place to steal performance points.
If they had to steal, just steal next door.
On the highway from SuZhou City to ZheJiang Province, a black Mercedes Benz sped fast through the night.
In the quiet car, when Lian Xi refused directly and decisively, Xu Lang sighed: “Okay then, thank you. I have bothered you.”
He hung up the phone and the assistant who was driving while sitting in the driver’s seat raised his head and looked through the rear view. He asked curiously: “Brother Xu, who did you call just now? He seemed like a very important person.” He rarely saw Xu Lang being so respectful.
Xu Lang was a rich second-generation and his family runs an entertainment company. It was the kind of company big enough that everyone knew it once they heard the name,
The assistant has always been aware that his boss’s investment in the live broadcast guild, including signing some anchors. But they were trivial matters for him.
Xu Lang doesn’t want to inherit and he also couldn’t inherit the family business. There were three older brothers above him. So he fell in love with the emerging live broadcast industry and felt that he could make a profit in it and make a career. In fact, he also invested in a well-known Gem Guild in the live broadcast industry by relying on his wealth and financial support from his family.
Xu Lang said helplessly: “A small anchor.”
The assistant stared straight: “Such a small anchor is so arrogant? He refused to help when you asked?”
Xu Lang glanced at him: “He is not an ordinary anchor. He has real skills. The incident last time with Cat Fur Sauce was solved by him.”
The assistant asked strangely, “Didn’t you solve it yourself Brother Xu? Cat Fur Sauce entangled with Hydrogen and refused to break up. Hydrogen used you as an excuse and said you forced him to break up, and then Cat Fur Sauce committed suicide. But you acted graciously in this situation. Not only did you not blame Hydrogen, you even gave Cat Fur Sauce’s parents a large amount of money and turned Hydrogen into a current first-line anchor.”
Xu Lang himself was amused by him: “You are good at flattering me.”
The assistant smiled.
Indeed, Xu Lang gave Cat Fur Sauce’s parents a large sum of money but the money was not a comfort fee for them because they lost their daughter. It was to buy them and tell them to lead the netizens to think that Cat Fur Sauce’s suicide was due to online violence and not entirely because of Hydrogen. Cat Fur Sauce’s parents had long been dissatisfied with her for not going to school and secretly stealing the tuition fees to support a live streaming anchor. After taking Xu Lang’s money, they talked a lot of nonsense. This is also one of the important reasons why the online speech was controlled by Xu Lang.
Xu Lang has seen so many women in the entertainment industry and it is the first time he has seen such a one-track person who only had love in her mind. The female stars in the entertainment industry were all very ambitious and were all capable of letting go when needed. They could never be shaken by a man. As for this Cat Fur Sauce, she only liked Hydrogen and was not interested in anything else. She ignored all other considerations and only insisted on being with him.
Is she blind? What’s so good about Hydrogen?
Assistant: “Anyway, you took a lot of effort to solve the Hydrogen and Cat Fur Sauce issue. However, I heard that Hydrogen has recently got together with another female fan and talked about being girlfriend-boyfriend again. This time the other party seems to be a real rich woman.”
Xu Lang frowned, “Where did you hear about this?”
Assistant: “A major fan in his live broadcast told me.” The assistant is responsible for contacting the anchor’s fan group.
Xu Lang: “Tsk.”
This Hydrogen was really troublesome and disobedient. There were so many women in the world, why did he insist on getting together with fans? A relationship with a fan would easily cause a lot of problems. Xu Lang pondered for a moment and already began to think about how to terminate his contract with Hydrogen and throw him away.
The assistant carefully observed Xu Lang’s face: “Brother Xu, what’s the matter with you, are you upset?”
Xu Lang gave him a glance: “I’m fine, just drive the car.”
“Oh.”
***
After he hung up with Xu Lang, Lian Xi walked into the colleague’s room and knocked on the door.
The colleague lying on the bed playing on the phone raised his head.
Lian Xi: “It’s time to go out and catch ghosts.”
Lie Chen: “…Oh.”
One minute later.
Lian Xi: “…”
Lian Xi: “I said, it’s time to go out to catch ghosts.”
Lie Chen: “Wait five more minutes.”
Lian Xi: “??”
Lian Xi: Not active in catching ghosts, do you have problems with your thinking?
Finally, after a full ten minutes, the cold-faced SuZhou Black Reaper turned off the phone and walked out the door with a terrible expression on his face.
Lian Xi couldn’t help asking: “What were you playing?”
Lie Chen took a breath and glanced indifferently, with a calm tone: “Nothing.”
Lian Xi: “…”
It must be something!
He had to find a chance to figure out what he was doing.
There were not many ghosts in SuZhou City tonight. It took two hours for Lian Xi to catch five ghosts and earn 400 points. Let’s look at the ghosts of Wenzhou… there total performance was now 20,988 points!
Lian Xi: “…”
This was really the legendary “somebody else’s child”!
Lian Xi: “How do you think WenZhou’s ghost officials catch ghosts? Why do we only have 400 points and they get 2,000 directly?”
Lie Chen frowned and was about to speak when Lian Xi’s cell phone rang.
He took it out and took a look. He was surprised and put on the phone: “Little ghost…cough, Tang Zi, what’s the matter?”
Over the phone, he heard the panicked voice of WuXi’s little ghost official: “Lian Xi, can you help me please? My colleague, WuXi’s Black Reaper, is missing!”
Lian Xi was still thinking about the reaper at home so after chatting with Chen Kai, he said goodbye, got in a taxi and went home.
When he got home, it was already six o’clock in the evening.
In October, the night came earlier. When Lian Xi returned home, the room was completely dark. He was stunned, turned on the light in the living room and whispered: “Lie Chen?”
No one answered and his voice echoed in the empty house.
Putting on his slippers, Lian Xi searched and finally found the Black Reaper sitting on the bed in the bedroom.
In a dimly lit room, only a faint light shone through the window into the room. It illuminated a small area in front of the bed and also the reaper sitting by the bed.
There are a total of four bedrooms in this house. Lian Xi and Su Jiao live in the two larger master bedrooms and Lie Chen lives in the smaller second bedroom because of his late arrival. Strictly speaking, it should be a child’s room. There were many special-shaped stickers of cartoon dolls on the wall. There are not many things in the room but it is clean and simple and contains just a table, a wardrobe, a chair and a bed.
Although he has lived in this room for a long time, it seems that Lie Chen has never used this furniture. There was nothing on the table and the chairs were neatly placed, there were no signs of them having been sat on. The closet was empty and there were some folds on the bed but the sleeping place was very flat.
At this moment, the handsome and indifferent Black Reaper sits on the head of the bed. His back was upright, his head bowed. He was frowning as he held the mobile phone.

Seeing Lord Black Reaper’s calm look, Lian Xi sighed lightly.
Forget it, what else can I do? I can only forgive you.
Lian Xi walked over and said, “How are you going with your phone? I downloaded QQ and WeChat for you before, have you used it? Add me as a friend first.”
Only halfway through, Lian Xi stopped. His face changed slightly and he listened carefully to a strange sound of music in the room. This is not particularly familiar but it seems that the background music that he heard made Lian Xi’s expression constantly change. Finally he looked at the source of the music…

Lian Xi: “Look at my phone…”
His voice stopped sharply and his eyes widened. He stared at the three golden lights that had just flown down from Lie Chen swish and then flew back!

The brilliant sun shone down on the young man but it did not seem to be as dazzling as the person himself nor as warm as him.
Lie Chen looked at the photo on the screen, lost in thought. However, there was still no expression on that cold and profound face.

It was another victory without suspense and Lian Xi looked at his record.
Well, at the beginning of this season, he has scored 2000 points, ranking in the top 100 in the country. It seems that there is no problem with the national service this month, and he could hand over the bill to the boss. {Again not sure, but has to do with the gaming jobs he does to supplement his income.}
Although he earns one million a month and has several million in deposits, Lian Xi doesn’t want to let go of his boss’s 8,000 yuan national service list.
A fly’s leg is also a leg, not to mention that it is eight thousand yuan. This fly’s leg also quite big!
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at his door in amazement. He saw two golden lights slowly drifting in from outside the door, little by little, and then drifted into his body!
Lian Xi: “???”
What did I do?
I didn’t do anything! So why did you give golden light again?
The reaper’s mind is harder to guess than a woman’s!
***
Sleep during the day, live broadcast in the evening, then catch ghosts in the middle of the night.
Three days later, SuZhou’s ghost officials returned to a normal rhythm of life.
Before the live broadcast that night, Lian Xi opened the reaper record and looked at the performance ranking of the month. He sighed helplessly.
The month’s performance ranking (JiangSu, ZheJiang and ShangHai)
1st place, SuZhou City, JiangSu Province’s ghost officials with a performance of 51,223 points.
2nd place, WenZhou, ZheJiang Province’s ghost officials with a performance of 18,874 points.
3rd place, ShangHai’s ghost officials…
Look at WenZhou!
They directly rose by 18,000 points in three days!
Lian Xi suddenly felt a sense of tension being chased.
He was contemplating the special ability of WenZhou’s ghost officials to earn points. At this moment, the doorbell rang. Lian Xi walked to the door and when passing the Black Reaper’s room, he saw that President Lie was no longer sitting in a tight-knit manner like on the first day. He was now lying on the bed and playing with his mobile phone.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lian Xi walked to the door and looked through the peephole.
Then he opened the door: “Xiao-Liu? Is there something the matter?”
Standing outside the door is the real estate agent Xiao-Liu.
He saw the short-haired girl holding a box of mooncakes and smiling: “It’s all good. Mr. Lian, it’s almost Mid-Autumn Festival. Our company gives out a lot of mooncakes, some of which are for old customers. I brought them over for you.”
Lian Xi was stunned, looking down at the mooncake box in the little girl’s hand.
It’s normal for real estate companies to give holiday gifts to old customers, but they are usually for large customers who rent luxury houses and want to buy houses. For small tenants like Lian Xi and Lie Chen, the rental company will not take care of them at all. This box of mooncakes was probably sent by Xiao-Liu who specially applied for them.
He took the mooncakes in silence and said, “Thank you. Oh, yes, a friend sent me some country specialties before. Do you want some? We can’t eat it all anyway. Come in and have some water to drink.”
“Oh no, there’s no need.”
“It’s okay, come in.”
Xiao-Liu entered the room.
Lian Xi went into the kitchen, filled a plastic bag with some native eggs and Uncle Li’s home grown vegetables and gave them to Xiao-Liu.
“This is from my old neighbour from my old place that got demolished. After that he built a house back in his hometown. He grew these himself and they are good to eat.”
“Green vegetables ah, really thank you, Mr. Lian.”
Lian Xi whispered in his heart: Thank you.
Xiao-Liu: “By the way, wasn’t Mr. Su involved in a murder case before? That case seems to be solved now. Isn’t Mr. Su at home?”
“There is something going on with him back in his hometown.” Lian Xi asked, “The case is solved?”
Xiao-Liu laughed:” Yes ah, it seems that the police searched for a long time on the surveillance videos and found a suspect had appeared at the scene according to the news reports. The suspect was an old man. He actually had a stroke when the police broke in to arrest him. He had been trapped on the ground for a few days so the police actually saved his life.”
Lian Xi showed a surprised look: “Something like this actually happened?”
Xiao-Liu nodded, “Yes, I heard from our colleague in the store has a nephew who works at the police station. He said that the police searched the old man’s house and guess what? There were a few ceramic doll statues hidden in the old man’s house, which are very similar to the statue where the victim’s body was hidden! The police also found the blood stains of the murdered female college student in the old man’s house. It is estimated that it will be announced in two days. The investigation result of the case is over.” Xiao-Liu sighed: “Oh, I didn’t expect that an old man picking up rubbish actually killed someone. That girl was too pitiful.”
After sending Xiao-Liu away, Lian Xi searched the Internet for news about Sun Yan. Murder. Sure enough, although the police have not released the details of the investigation yet, many locals in SuZhou City were already stating on the Internet that the police have caught the murderer. Some have even taken videos of the police carrying the old man who had had a “stroke” into the ambulance.
Surveillance video? Doll statue? There was even bloodstained DNA?
The effect of this Meng Po soup is really amazing.
Currently at SuZhou City’s Public Security Bureau.
The case has made great progress and the evidence is conclusive. It is estimated that the case will be finalized tomorrow. All the criminal police were excited and motivated.
The little detective entered the pantry with a thermos cup. He was humming a little song happily. He looked up and saw his master sitting in the office, looking down at the thick file, frowning. He wondered what he was thinking.
The little detective walked over and knocked on the door: “Master, what are you doing? Why do you look upset? Are you unhappy that you have caught the murderer?”
“I’m happy, why should I be upset.” Deputy Wu was seated. Behind the desk, he leaned back against the back of the chair and tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically. “But you know, we watched the surveillance video dozens of times before, dozens of times and we never found any trace of that old man. But after Lian Xi came out to provide eyewitness testimony, we then saw it.”
The little detective considered this and said: “Master, do you know there is a theory about that.”
Deputy Wu asked, “What theory?”
Little detective: “When you don’t know that there is a pink ball in a group of red balls, you will never notice the existence of the pink ball when you look through it. But when someone suddenly tells you that there is a pink ball inside, you will suddenly see it, and even feel that it stands out particularly. It seems impossible that you haven’t seen it before.”
Deputy Wu team: “Ah? There is actually a theory like this? What is it called?”
The little detective smiled, “Qiao’s Theorem.”
Deputy Wu: “…”
“Qiao YuXuan, you fucking idiot. Don’t play with this old man!”
“Hahahaha, master, you laughed just now.”
***
Lian Xi and Gem Guild signed a live broadcast contract. It was specially approved by Xu Lang, and the conditions were very loose.
Live broadcast for 200 hours a month and the minimum gift amount is not required. The monthly basic salary is 10,000 yuan. This contract is like a pie falling from the sky for all anchors. The basic salary is not super high but the work requirement is even less. But this month, Lian Xi felt that the length of his live broadcast was a bit borderline.
He seized the opportunity and broadcasted another night.
At twelve o’clock in the morning, Lian Xi was about to go out to catch ghosts with Lie Chen when suddenly, his cell phone rang.
Looking at the name flashing on the screen of the phone, he felt a guilty conscience. He answered the phone.
On the other side of the phone, a man’s mature and steady laughter came: “Lian Cheng, long time no see. Or should I just call you by your real name, Lian Xi?”
Lian Xi was silent for a moment and said: “The duration of my live broadcast was a bit shorter than before but I’ll make up for the time. Although the contract is indeed a bit inappropriate. If you want to change it, I can cooperate.”
Xu Lang was stunned and then smiled: “Mr. Lian, you have misunderstood. I am not calling to talk about your live broadcast.”
Not about the live broadcast? Lian Xi: “What is it then?”
Xu Lang: “Here’s the thing. As I told you before, although I invest in live broadcasting and that’s my main business, my family is in the entertainment industry. Recently, something strange has happened to an artist in our company. That’s why I thought of you…”
It has to be said that apart from the businessman’s nature of eating human bones, Xu Lang has a good way of talking and doing things. He didn’t take Lian Xi seriously before so he was arrogant and contemptuous towards him. But now that he regards Lian Xi as an important person to communicate with, he immediately had a 180-degree turn in his attitude which was just like a spring breeze. Lian Xi couldn’t fault him at all.
Something happened to an artist?
Lian Xi frowned and remembered.
It seems that Xu Lang once said that his family is a business in the entertainment industry and live broadcasting is just his own business.
Lian Xi said indifferently: “I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand what you are talking about.”
Xu Lang spoke mildly: “Of course I won’t ask you to help for free. There will be a reward. This artist is a popular actor that my company strongly supports and values very much. We already contacted many Masters but they weren’t able to help us so I thought I’d have to trouble you.”
Lian Xi thought for a while, “Is he in SuZhou City?”
Since Xu Lang asked, if the incident took place in SuZhou City then Lian Xi didn’t mind to go and take a look, perhaps they could get some performance points.
Xu Lang: “In HengDian. He was filming when the incident happened.”
HengDian? That was in ZheJiang Province. It seems to be quite far away.
Lian Xi shook his head and said: “I’m sorry, I can’t help.”
Xu Lang: “Is Mr. Lian really unwilling to help?”
Lian Xi: “Sorry, it is not convenient for me.” Going to ZheJiang Province back and forth… after wasting a whole day, there may be no ghosts to catch at all. And even if there was, those points were on someone else’s turf. They hadn’t even finished catching their own ghosts, there was no need to go to such a far place to steal performance points.
If they had to steal, just steal next door.
On the highway from SuZhou City to ZheJiang Province, a black Mercedes Benz sped fast through the night.
In the quiet car, when Lian Xi refused directly and decisively, Xu Lang sighed: “Okay then, thank you. I have bothered you.”
He hung up the phone and the assistant who was driving while sitting in the driver’s seat raised his head and looked through the rear view. He asked curiously: “Brother Xu, who did you call just now? He seemed like a very important person.” He rarely saw Xu Lang being so respectful.
Xu Lang was a rich second-generation and his family runs an entertainment company. It was the kind of company big enough that everyone knew it once they heard the name,
The assistant has always been aware that his boss’s investment in the live broadcast guild, including signing some anchors. But they were trivial matters for him.
Xu Lang doesn’t want to inherit and he also couldn’t inherit the family business. There were three older brothers above him. So he fell in love with the emerging live broadcast industry and felt that he could make a profit in it and make a career. In fact, he also invested in a well-known Gem Guild in the live broadcast industry by relying on his wealth and financial support from his family.
Xu Lang said helplessly: “A small anchor.”
The assistant stared straight: “Such a small anchor is so arrogant? He refused to help when you asked?”
Xu Lang glanced at him: “He is not an ordinary anchor. He has real skills. The incident last time with Cat Fur Sauce was solved by him.”
The assistant asked strangely, “Didn’t you solve it yourself Brother Xu? Cat Fur Sauce entangled with Hydrogen and refused to break up. Hydrogen used you as an excuse and said you forced him to break up, and then Cat Fur Sauce committed suicide. But you acted graciously in this situation. Not only did you not blame Hydrogen, you even gave Cat Fur Sauce’s parents a large amount of money and turned Hydrogen into a current first-line anchor.”
Xu Lang himself was amused by him: “You are good at flattering me.”
The assistant smiled.
Indeed, Xu Lang gave Cat Fur Sauce’s parents a large sum of money but the money was not a comfort fee for them because they lost their daughter. It was to buy them and tell them to lead the netizens to think that Cat Fur Sauce’s suicide was due to online violence and not entirely because of Hydrogen. Cat Fur Sauce’s parents had long been dissatisfied with her for not going to school and secretly stealing the tuition fees to support a live streaming anchor. After taking Xu Lang’s money, they talked a lot of nonsense. This is also one of the important reasons why the online speech was controlled by Xu Lang.
Xu Lang has seen so many women in the entertainment industry and it is the first time he has seen such a one-track person who only had love in her mind. The female stars in the entertainment industry were all very ambitious and were all capable of letting go when needed. They could never be shaken by a man. As for this Cat Fur Sauce, she only liked Hydrogen and was not interested in anything else. She ignored all other considerations and only insisted on being with him.
Is she blind? What’s so good about Hydrogen?
Assistant: “Anyway, you took a lot of effort to solve the Hydrogen and Cat Fur Sauce issue. However, I heard that Hydrogen has recently got together with another female fan and talked about being girlfriend-boyfriend again. This time the other party seems to be a real rich woman.”
Xu Lang frowned, “Where did you hear about this?”
Assistant: “A major fan in his live broadcast told me.” The assistant is responsible for contacting the anchor’s fan group.
Xu Lang: “Tsk.”
This Hydrogen was really troublesome and disobedient. There were so many women in the world, why did he insist on getting together with fans? A relationship with a fan would easily cause a lot of problems. Xu Lang pondered for a moment and already began to think about how to terminate his contract with Hydrogen and throw him away.
The assistant carefully observed Xu Lang’s face: “Brother Xu, what’s the matter with you, are you upset?”
Xu Lang gave him a glance: “I’m fine, just drive the car.”
“Oh.”
***
After he hung up with Xu Lang, Lian Xi walked into the colleague’s room and knocked on the door.
The colleague lying on the bed playing on the phone raised his head.
Lian Xi: “It’s time to go out and catch ghosts.”
Lie Chen: “…Oh.”
One minute later.
Lian Xi: “…”
Lian Xi: “I said, it’s time to go out to catch ghosts.”
Lie Chen: “Wait five more minutes.”
Lian Xi: “??”
Lian Xi: Not active in catching ghosts, do you have problems with your thinking?
Finally, after a full ten minutes, the cold-faced SuZhou Black Reaper turned off the phone and walked out the door with a terrible expression on his face.
Lian Xi couldn’t help asking: “What were you playing?”
Lie Chen took a breath and glanced indifferently, with a calm tone: “Nothing.”
Lian Xi: “…”
It must be something!
He had to find a chance to figure out what he was doing.
There were not many ghosts in SuZhou City tonight. It took two hours for Lian Xi to catch five ghosts and earn 400 points. Let’s look at the ghosts of Wenzhou… there total performance was now 20,988 points!
Lian Xi: “…”
This was really the legendary “somebody else’s child”!
Lian Xi: “How do you think WenZhou’s ghost officials catch ghosts? Why do we only have 400 points and they get 2,000 directly?”
Lie Chen frowned and was about to speak when Lian Xi’s cell phone rang.
He took it out and took a look. He was surprised and put on the phone: “Little ghost…cough, Tang Zi, what’s the matter?”
Over the phone, he heard the panicked voice of WuXi’s little ghost official: “Lian Xi, can you help me please? My colleague, WuXi’s Black Reaper, is missing!”
