Weird Regulator

"Old Town, Tangling Road..."

Ji Li, who was sitting in the passenger seat, silently recited these six-character place names in his heart.

For some reason, he always had a very familiar feeling, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"It's Gao Yan, the old detective who has been hated for his whole life because of the Mu Nianmei case."

After being prompted by the third personality, Ji Li finally realized what this place name actually represented.

Can't be wrong.

The fish shop that Gao Yan originally ran, including the bar, was located on Tangling Road in the old city.

In the conversation with Mu Nianmei just now, Ji Li actually got this place name.

According to Mu Nianmei, the last time it saw the white-robed worshiping ghost was here.

Weird overlap...

Mu Nianmei's mission is actually not the core of the mission, although everything stems from it.

But the root ghost of this mission should be the female Leatherface ghost captured by Tongguan.

The route that Ji Li was targeting corresponded to Mu Nianmei, and was eventually captured by accident.

However, after a series of clues were accumulated, he felt after the mission that the truth he had deduced had many puzzles.

Therefore, at that time, he suspected that Mu Nianmei's ghost was far from that simple.

And the white-robed worshiping ghost behind it is closely related to Tianhai.

What a shame.

This old detective who abandoned his official position and lost his sight due to the Mu Nianmei case, and eventually his family was ruined, is so close to the truth.

However, he missed it and died with hatred.

Ten minutes ago, Ji Li took Xiao Qianduye to Room 201 and had a deeper communication with Mu Nianmei.

From its mouth, I got the news about white robes worshiping ghosts, and embarked on a journey of search.

Xiao Qianduye drove while blindfolded, but she drove the car extremely smoothly. She looked straight ahead and asked in a low voice:

"Do you really believe Mu Nianmei's words?"

Ji Li did not raise his head, still immersed in his own thoughts, and replied:

"Mu Nianmei is the lead in white robe worshiping ghosts, and I am the object of worship. She doesn't dare to lie to me."

Xiao Qian turned his head and took a deep look at Ji Li, and said quietly:

"Just because she won't lie to you doesn't mean she won't hurt you."

As the journey progressed, the black energy exuding from Ji Li's body became more intense, which meant that disaster was coming.

Ji Li didn't say anything. He took the initiative to look for white robes to worship ghosts, which may have been a wrong decision.

But this is his only way to get close to Tianhai's secret, and there is no way to give it up.

The vehicle drove in the city for about half an hour, and its speed gradually slowed down.

This is the old city, Tangling Road.

The surrounding buildings have also become a bit chaotic, surrounded by tall buildings, mixed with bungalows and short buildings.

There are more corners on the street, and the sense of space is very confusing. Most of the pedestrians on the road are middle-aged and elderly people.

The whole street was filled with a dirty atmosphere, and a lot of domestic garbage blew away in the wind, creating a chaotic street scene.

Xiao Qianduye slowed down, drove into the narrow street, and asked softly:

"Donngling Road is not small either. Where are we going?"

Ji Li didn't look up, but gave a precise location:

"The first fish shop at the east entrance of the old market."

This is the fish shop that Gao Yan once inherited from the deceased policeman. However, with his death, it is unclear whether it will continue to operate.

But Ji Li believed that since Mu Nianmei's clues were given here, he might be able to get instructions for the next step.

Xiao Qianduye's expression remained as usual, and he didn't ask why he went there, but just drove quietly.

Not long after, the vehicle stopped at the entrance of the old market.

It was lunch time, there were many pedestrians coming and going, and the environment inside was impossible to drive into.

So the two got out of the car and searched on foot.

The location of the fish shop is very eye-catching. After entering from the entrance, walk along the passage and turn to the east to find it.

Ji Li had been here before, so he was familiar with the road and walked at the front to lead the way.

Shanming City is an extremely prosperous metropolis, and the urban construction here is very developed.

The reason why the old city will be retained is actually out of some considerations for the old citizens.

But the environment here is indeed a bit bad.

Just walking in the market can smell the smell of fermented garbage, and many foods are still on display, which is basically not hygienic at all.

Walking in the market, Ji Li had already seen many shops with the words "for rent" or "exchange" written on them.

There are also some uniformed personnel who are earnestly advising in front of the vendors.

Ji Li just glanced briefly, then quickened his pace and continued heading east.

Not long after, an LED signboard with the words "Gaoji Fish Shop" appeared in front of me.

It seems that even though Gao Yan is dead, the fish shop is still operating normally.

But judging from the lack of live fish in the fish tank placed in front of the shop, it seems that the business is not very good either.

And a young man wearing a leather apron was lying on a lounge chair behind the bunk, sleeping soundly with a magazine covering his face.

This deserted scene is completely different from the bustling scene last time I came here.

Ji Li climbed up the blackened steps, walked to the back of the shop, took the magazine away from the young man's face, and gently kicked the lounge chair.

The young man was young, probably only in his early twenties. He opened his eyes sleepily, looked at Ji Li for a while, and then sat up.

He rubbed his eyes and asked in a naive voice:

"What kind of fish should I buy?"

"If you don't want to buy fish, I'm looking for you. We've met before."

Ji Li recognized at a glance that this young man was the "second son" Gao Yan once called him.

Erzi was still awake. He looked at Ji Li for a while, then sat up suddenly, grabbed Ji Li's sleeve, and shouted in a muffled voice:

"It's you! It was you who took my master away in the first place, and he never came back!"

Gao Yan died at the hands of the female Leatherface ghost, and no one in that haunted house dares to collect his body.

Ji Li frowned and rolled down his sleeves, pulled his hand away, and said coldly:

"Something happened to your master. Take me to where he lives."

When Erzi heard this, the flesh on his face trembled, and he quickly stood up and asked:

"What's wrong with my master? Please explain it clearly."

He was very strong, half a head taller than Ji Li when he stood up. But judging from his appearance, he was a very simple and honest ordinary person.

Ji Li glanced around and said softly:

"There are many people here, take me to Gao Yan's residence, and I will tell you in detail."

The second son is really easy to fool. He knows what Gao Yan used to do and what he has been doing for more than ten years.

Therefore, Ji Li's cryptic words sounded like a hint to him, and he made up a scene on his own.

He quickly silenced himself and walked out. As he walked, he picked up the lock and said hurriedly:

"I understand, I understand, let's go right now."

Xiao Qianduye watched everything calmly from the sidelines. She had never experienced Mu Nianmei's plot, so she didn't know anything about Gao Yan.

But judging from the situation between Ji Li and this man, they must have crossed paths before.

So she couldn't help but understand something.

Perhaps this Gao Yan has many connections with Mu Nianmei, and the clues about the white robe worshiping ghosts point to Gao Yan's location, which should have some unique purpose.

When I first wrote the role of Gao Yan, Kuangbiao hadn’t aired yet, so there was a strange overlap with “Gao Ji Fish Shop”, hahaha
