Chapter 42 Captain Yang Ming

Fang Xiu in the corridor stopped listening after hearing this, because the two chatted about gossip afterwards. ơɱ

The two were obviously clerks, so they were relatively free at this time and had time to chat about gossip.

He continued to walk around the investigation bureau and kept listening to information.

"Hurry, go to the conference room, Director Wang is going to hold an emergency meeting."

Hearing the news of the meeting, Fang Xiu immediately mixed into the crowd and followed them to the conference room.

In the conference room, the long conference table was full of people, both men and women, generally young. It is worth mentioning that few of them wore black work clothes, most of them were dressed in strange clothes and full of personality.

On both sides of the conference table, there were more than a dozen staff members in work clothes.

Fang Xiu mixed in with the staff, standing at the wall, secretly looking at the people at the conference table.

Obviously, these people should all be spirit masters. As the main force against weirdness, the status of spirit masters is naturally higher than that of ordinary people, and they are qualified to attend the meeting at the table.

And at the head of the conference table sat Wang Dehai with a serious face.

The strange thing is that there is an empty seat on each side of Wang Dehai, and no one sits there.

Two empty seats?

Fang Xiu guessed that these two seats must be the seats of Captain Yang Ming and Deputy Captain Bai Qi. Now that Bai Qi is dead, it is normal for his seat to be empty. What about Yang Ming?

Is he still investigating the weirdness?

At this moment, he suddenly smelled a pungent smell of cigarettes.

Smoking in an emergency meeting?

Fang Xiu looked in the direction of the smoke and saw a lonely man squatting on the ground smoking in the corner behind Wang Dehai.

The man was about 27 or 28 years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a square face and a wide nose. He was not very handsome, but he looked very energetic and decent.

However, his mental state was obviously not very good at this time. His eyes were dull, his chin was full of stubble, and he stared blankly at the air in front of him. If he didn't take a puff of cigarette from time to time, he would be like a sculpture.

Others in the meeting room selectively ignored the man and let him squat there smoking.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu already had a guess in his mind.

Although the spirit masters present were dressed in strange clothes and had strong personalities, they still followed the most basic order during the meeting and sat in their seats honestly.

No one said anything when this man acted like this, and even Wang Dehai acquiesced, which only showed that this man had a high status.

Combined with the empty chair, it is easy to guess that the man smoking was the captain Yang Ming.

At this time, Wang Dehai started the meeting. In this emergency meeting, he did not say any nonsense, but went straight to the point.

"After the on-site investigation by the investigator, it was confirmed that Deputy Captain Bai had died in the line of duty."

Wang Dehai's heavy voice sounded in the meeting room.

There was silence at the scene. Some people had no expression on their faces, some did not care, and some looked sad. The expressions varied.

The man suspected to be Yang Ming still had empty eyes, but the hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

After a moment of silence, Wang Dehai's deep voice sounded again.

"Deputy Captain Bai died at the hands of a weird shadow."

As he spoke, a blurry photo appeared on the big screen at the scene, showing a shadow, a human-shaped shadow.

However, unlike ordinary shadows, it is not flat, but three-dimensional, just like a person wearing a black tights, even the eyes, mouth and nose are covered.

It is pitch black, as if the shadow of a person has come alive and become a physical entity.

"This weird code-named Shadow Ghost, the ability it has shown so far is the ability to hide in the shadows. When Deputy Captain Bai was fighting the Human Head Ghost, Shadow Ghost emerged from his shadow and attacked Deputy Captain Bai so badly that he died at the hands of the Human Head Ghost."

Everyone looked at the Shadow Ghost in the photo intently, with a solemn look on their faces.

Suddenly appearing from the shadow, this attack method is simply impossible to defend against, and one will be hit if you are not careful.

Even a strong person like Bai Qi was seriously injured by the sneak attack, and other spirit masters did not think they could beat Bai Qi.

"At present, the whereabouts of the shadow ghost are unknown, but the human head ghost has been solved by Yang Ming, so what we have to do next is to search for the whereabouts of the shadow ghost with all our strength, find it out, and completely solve this strange incident.

And..."

Wang Dehai suddenly took a deep breath when he said this, and said slowly and heavily: "Revenge for Bai Qi."

The atmosphere in the field was instantly solemn.

Perhaps because the atmosphere was too depressing, Wang Dehai suddenly forced a smile and said: "In this unfortunate strange incident, I have another good news to tell you."

Good news?

Everyone was stunned. Deputy Captain Bai was dead, and there was good news?

"That is, Yang Ming, the captain of our Green Vine City Investigation Bureau, has successfully promoted to a third-level spirit master after solving the human head ghost incident, and has entered the ranks of top spirit masters!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes were instantly focused on the man smoking in the corner.

The smoking man was Yang Ming. He seemed not to hear it, and his expression was not fluctuating. He just threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, took out the cigarette box from his pocket, and planned to light another one.

At this time, there were already a lot of blackened cigarette butts under his feet.

Yang Ming opened the cigarette box in his hand, and found that it was empty. He flattened the cigarette box and threw it on the ground, raising his listless eyelids to look at everyone.

"Hey, do you have any more cigarettes?"

His voice was hoarse and a little tired.

Everyone was silent, no one responded.

When Wang Dehai saw this scene, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, but he still scolded: "Yang Ming, you have to cheer up. You are now a third-level spirit master. The safety of Green Vine City will still depend on you in the future. Also, don't you want to avenge Bai Qi?"

Faced with Wang Dehai's scolding, Yang Ming's eyes did not fluctuate at all, and he still looked half dead. He slowly got up from the corner, put his hands in his pockets, and muttered: "Then I'll go out and buy a pack myself."

As he said, he actually wanted to leave the venue to buy cigarettes.

While walking, he muttered: "Revenge? Will Xiaobai be able to live after revenge?"

"Stop right there!" Wang Dehai roared angrily, but Yang Ming's footsteps did not stop at all, as if he didn't hear it.

Wang Dehai was so angry that he had no choice but to take out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and shouted, "I have cigarettes here!"

Yang Ming stopped immediately and said with dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Wang Dehai threw the cigarette to Yang Ming and turned to continue the meeting, obviously not wanting to say anything more.

Yang Ming returned to the corner just now, lit a cigarette and complained: "Hey, what kind of family does Director Wang come from? He smokes cigarettes every day."

Wang Dehai's face was full of black lines, and he continued the meeting with his anger.

But at this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open with a bang.

Wang Dehai's roar broke out instantly: "Pay attention to discipline! Discipline! How many times have I told you, you..."

The staff member who came in didn't give him a chance to finish, but said in a panic: "Director Wang, it's not good, the person you just asked me to take to the lounge is gone! He knocked me out and ran away!"

"What!? You said Fang Xiu ran away?" Wang Dehai was instantly shocked and angry.

Fang Xiu in the crowd sighed secretly, thinking that his technique was not professional enough, and he was unconscious for such a short time.

Although Fang Xiu became a spirit master and could burst out more powerful power than ordinary people, he had never tried to knock someone out before, and he didn't know how much force he had to exert.

"Fang Xiu! You are here!" A female voice sounded from the venue.

It was Shen Lingxue.

Shen Lingxue stood up from her seat and pointed at Fang Xiu in the crowd with a surprised look on her face.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Xiu, except Yang Ming, who was still smoking and looking into the air.
