Yun Kong was killed and died with a smile. I felt that he wasn't killed by a "person" but rather by something "dirty."
"What kind of thing?"
I looked around but except for the startled bar customers, I couldn't see anything. Suddenly, I saw a black figure pass behind two black-clad women. She was a woman and looked very composed, contrary to the nervousness shown by the other bar customers.
I felt there was something wrong with this woman in black, so I hurried towards her: You, stop right there.
As I ran over, the black figure suddenly accelerated and began to run.
Guilty conscience?
She fled upon seeing me chasing after her, there must be something wrong.
This fueled my determination to chase after her, and I jostled my way through the crowd until I was just half a meter away from her, reaching out to grab her.
Suddenly, the black-clad woman turned around, her face covered with a mask. Her body emitted a strange smell, like mildew but with a hint of freshness, a special scent of 'yin' or demons.
But the scent was very faint, and I wasn't sure if what I smelled was accurate.
"It's her."
I was happy, about to speak, but the black-clad woman suddenly reached out with her right hand towards my chest. Her nails, at least three to four centimeters long, shone coldly under the neon lights.
"Is she going to remove my heart?" I thought as she grabbed for me. I thought of running, but it was too late, her claws were only a few centimeters away from my chest.
Fortunately, someone behind me pulled me aside, and I avoided the attack.
As I turned around, I saw that it was not someone else who had pulled me aside, but it was Duan Guangyi.
I thought Duan Guangyi knew martial arts? Later, I thought that officials of the Qing Dynasty, would be trained in martial arts to prevent assassination. Duan Guangyi became a prefectural governor after becoming the top scholar, so surely he practiced martial arts every day.
He knew Kung Fu, and that was not surprising.
I considered this for a moment, then turned to look back into the crowd, the black-clothed demon had already disappeared.
"Darn it, she got away," I cursed.
But she couldn't flee, the bar's doors had already been closed, and she was still inside the bar.
I quickly called Han Li.
"Nephew, what's up? It's late," Han Li seemed to be asleep.
I said, "Li, don't go to sleep, there's trouble at the Soda Green Bar. A young master's heart has been removed. Hurry and bring some people over."
I hung up the phone and returned to my seat. I had Big Gold Tooth stand on the table and instructed him to shout if he saw any 'yin' spirits. We have three 'yin' people here, we aren't afraid of any 'yin' spirits making another move.
Huang Xin and Cheng Yan also asked me what happened and why the people here were so panicked. I told Huang Xin, "Yun Kong has had his heart removed and is now dead!"
"What? Dead?" Huang Xin was a bit incredulous. Despite everyone disliking Yun Kong, they didn't wish for his death, after all, it was a human life.
"You guys stay here and don't move. I'll protect you and wait for the police to arrive. I'll send you away first."
"Alright." Huang Xin, having encountered ghosts before, appeared much calmer than the other models. She sat there, comforting the other models, saying that it was a small matter, and she had experienced even scarier things, with the help of Li Ge, and had always come through safely.
I was quite pleased with Huang Xin's growth. This girl had indeed become much braver compared to when I first met her.
In no time, the members of the serious crime unit quickly assembled, with Han Li leading the team.
She rushed to me, asking me what had happened. I pointed to Yun Kong's body and the dried-up heart beside it, saying he had been 'yin' possessed and had his heart removed.
"How do you know it was a 'yin' possession?"
"Of course, I know. I just saw the 'yin' spirit a moment ago, right here in this bar. I called Ma Li San, and he's coming over to investigate right away. As long as none of the patrons here are allowed to leave, I can naturally make sure she won't escape."
I told Han Li.
"Alright, we'll investigate now."
I said we couldn't investigate right now because I needed to send my friends away from the bar. I pointed to the models who had come to the party with me.
"Then you go ahead and send them away."
I escorted Huang Xin, Cheng Yan, and their friends away through the safety passage.
As it turned out, the serious crime unit was very efficient, and there were quite a few people watching the entrance to the safety passage.
I sent Huang Xin and Cheng Yan away.
But in the end, I called out to Bai Xue.
Bai Xue was the woman Huang Xin had mentioned, the one who would become a top model in the world. She had a really great figure, with perfect proportions, a devilish figure, and also harbored a bit of "yin" art secret.
Now, while her modeling team members were not around, I had to confront her about this "yin" art.
"Li Ge, did you call me?" Bai Xue flashed a coquettish look at me, saying that it was lucky for me that she was around today, otherwise her cousin's bar would have been in trouble. At the same time, she reached out with her fair hand and touched my chest, the implication was extremely obvious, saying she could do anything for me.
This was clearly a tease or a suggestion.
But to be honest, if I didn't know Bai Xue's secret, I would definitely have been tempted by her. But now that I knew her secret, I no longer had any feelings for her.
I frowned and said straightforwardly, "Miss Bai, I hope you won't use 'yin' art anymore. 'Yin' art may bring you a temporary beauty, but it will ruin your entire life."
Bai Xue's face changed slightly. Then she acted as if nothing had happened and tapped my forehead with her index finger, saying, "Li Ge, you're really kidding. How could I know any 'yin' art?"
"Hmph, Miss Bai, do you really think I don't know if you've used 'yin' art? I might as well tell you, if my guess is correct, you weighed at least twice as much as you do now."
"I... I used to be very fat, but I worked really hard to lose weight. I exercise and diet every day, that's why I've become slim," Bai Xue stammered.
I smiled and said, "If it was just diet and exercise that made you slim, how would I know you used to be very fat? If I'm not mistaken, you used a kind of Taoist art to make yourself slim, and that kind of Taoist art is called 'yin' transformation."
"What are you saying? I have no idea," Bai Xue said, turning and walking away.
I continued, "You know better than anyone. You cut off the nail of your index finger and had a Taoist priest perform a ritual on it, turning the nail 'yin', and then you crushed the ritualized nail into powder and swallowed it directly. Am I right?"
Bai Xue quickened her pace.
I shouted from behind, "Let me tell you, there was a movie star in the entertainment industry named Bai Linger, and she used the same method, and in the end... she died!"
Bai Xue immediately turned to look at me. She fell silent for a long time before saying, "Bai Linger is my cousin."
"Hmph, despite the lessons from past experiences, you still dare to use it indiscriminately. Don't think that you've only eaten a nail, in reality, you've made a pact with the evil spirit within your body. The evil spirit not only helps you devour the fat in your body to maintain your perfect figure, but it also gives you a voracious appetite. If the spirit wants to eat, you must feed it. Your appetite has increased a lot this year, that's proof the evil spirit's gluttony has increased." I said to Bai Xue.
Bai Xue said it was fine, she could eat more.
"Eat more? How much can you eat? The gluttony of the evil spirit is boundless. If one day you can't satisfy it, it will not only eat the fat in your body, it will also consume your bones and flesh. How did your cousin Bai Linger die? She was bitten to death by the hungry spirit." I told Bai Xue.
"How can that be? My cousin died in a car accident," Bai Xue argued.
I said it was her family who lied to her, that at the time, Bai Linger's body had been placed in the spirit hall, had anyone paid their respects to her? Was she directly sealed in a coffin? For the entire seven-day mourning period, did anyone see her appearance?"
Bai Xue began to believe my words. She hung her head and muttered, "They... they said my cousin died in a really tragic car accident, and they were afraid it would scare the guests, so they decided to seal the coffin."
"Hmph, go and ask your elders. Never use the 'yin' transformation art, it is a curse on your fingertip. If you don't want your skin and bones to be riddled with holes by the evil spirit, stop eating your nails," I had to return to the bar, and that's all I could say. Whether Bai Xue would continue eating her nails to maintain her figure, or completely sever ties with the evil spirit and break free from the finger curse at any time, it was her own choice.
After all, I had told her everything.
"I... I..." Bai Xue wanted to say something more.
I turned around and added, "Bai Xue, the dimple on your philtrum has deepened, revealing the intense greed of the evil spirit inside you. Your acupoint and temple are also showing signs of darkening. If you don't stop eating your nails, I guarantee you won't make it to the end of the year. It's up to you now!"
With that, I turned around and went back to the bar.
In truth, I didn't need to tell Bai Xue anything. After all, eating nails was her own choice, and from the first day that she started, she probably had a blurry idea of the consequences. But as a just and compassionate "yin" attraction expert, I felt the need to explain the secret of the "finger curse" in detail.
Of course, I didn't really think Bai Xue would give up. There is something more insane than the fear of death for some women, especially those who are well-known - vanity!
After bidding farewell to Bai Xue, I returned to the bar.
Ma Li San also came over and as soon as he saw me, he immediately shook my hand and said, "Xiao Li Ge, you really helped me this time. Director Wang called him today and said he will help his son shoot a music video tomorrow."
In addition, Director Wang said that in his son's music video, he is also looking for a little boy and a little girl to play the younger versions of Ma Li San's son and daughter-in-law, and that little girl is Director Wang's daughter.
"Oh, Director Wang's daughter will make an appearance in my son's music video. That's something worth showing off at my son's wedding ceremony," Ma Li San said with great joy.
I patted Ma Li San on the shoulder and said, "You may be happy, but we still have work to do tonight."
I then called Da Jin Ya and said, "Old Jin, San Er, whether we can find out the sinister plot, it all depends on your skills."
"How do you want us to do it, just tell us," Ma Li San said, patting his chest.
