Chapter 48: Tracking

  I'm like a transparent person in front of Ji Lian, he can tell what I'm thinking. Suddenly, it feels creepy to think about this.

  Sun Wen's car was driving slowly in front, without any bumps at all. As soon as I thought that Ji Luan's body was in the car, my heart felt infinite melancholy, as if I was in a dream.

  "I found a very reliable friend, told him the whole story, he himself is a forensic doctor, he suggested that I find my own corpse and let him perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death."

  "Does anyone else know... that you've borrowed a corpse to return the soul?" I asked in surprise. Ji Lian wasn't an imprudent person, and since he was willing to tell someone, it meant that this person must be extremely trustworthy, but when I thought about the people around him, I couldn't think of who would have such a relationship with him. I had always thought his relationship with Sun Wen was the closest.

  "This is a good friend from my youth, when we were together he had just returned from further study. Now he's back. And he has been doing this kind of work for a long time, like Zhou Yin, also having a pair of yin-yang eyes, only he can only see me at night when the yin energy is strong, Zhou Yin is different, she is born with it, no matter what time, she can see the wandering yang souls."

  "So that's how it is, no wonder I've never heard you mention it before." I suddenly realized.

  "Can you tell where Sun Wen wants to go?" Ji Lan suddenly asked.

  I looked ahead at Sun Wen, who had already driven the car to a relatively remote suburb. This area has not been developed yet, but there are many self-built buildings, densely packed and messy living environment, with many walls covered in red paint with a circle drawn on them and a crooked character written inside - "Demolish". The residents of this area are still the poorest and most marginalized citizens, but in the near future, they will be able to get several sets of small district buildings that they may not be able to afford in their lifetime, and then live a comfortable or even wealthy life relying on rent.

  Sun Wen's car stopped in front of a row of old bungalows.

  There were no streetlights, only some households' door lights and window lights that faintly shone out, so we followed him from a distance, far behind, and he didn't notice at all.

  As we stopped, they also stopped. From a distance, we could see two big men coming out of the flat house, holding two flashlights in their hands, and lifting a large snakeskin bag from Sun Wen's trunk.

  My heart tightened for a moment, and that was Ji Lian.

  I looked at him and his expression was also very serious, staring tightly at them, without relaxing a bit.

  After those people entered the house, they "slammed" the door shut with a bang.

  "We'll go take a look." Ji Lian said in a low voice.

  He walked ahead, I followed behind him. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned around and grabbed my hand - the road was rough, with many potholes, and it was inevitable to stumble while walking.

  On this deeply cool night, there was originally a very deep chill, but Ji Lian's unintentional action suddenly ignited a warm fire in my heart, making me not regret being with him in the past and even more determined to be with him forever. Standing by his side forever is what I'm thinking now, firmly and unwaveringly, no one can change it. No one can.
