Sadly,

Zhou Ze flipped through the entire "diary" but couldn't find a second entry about Madam Bai's shrine. The later letters and diaries were mostly about Mr. Zhang Jian discussing education and industry. He rarely mentioned the things happening around him.

Especially after the end of the war, when the national industry was suppressed again, Mr. Zhang Jian encountered many problems. The later diaries and letters revealed more of a state of mind concerned about the country and the people.

The only clue discovered ended there.

In history, even the events that happened to princes and generals are often recorded vaguely, and even the art of understatement is prevalent.

And if you want to find accurate written records of a small shrine in a local county town, it is very, very difficult. It is not a well-known mythological figure, and the influence and limitations are extremely obvious.

Coming out of the small museum, it was already past seven in the evening. Zhou Ze sat down by the side of the road and lit a cigarette.

Yingying was confused from beginning to end. She didn't know why the boss suddenly looked for records of her madam. At this time, she didn't dare to say much and stood obediently beside Zhou Ze.

Because this matter

must be related to her.

"I say, Boss, what exactly is going on?"

Lawyer An couldn't help but ask.

"This afternoon at Disneyland, I ran into an empty cartoon costume that came to talk to me about burning Yingying during the Cold Clothes Festival."

Zhou Ze replied with a grave expression.

"That Baijiahei Madam is back?"

Zhou Ze shook his head. "I can't be sure. I only discovered the strangeness of that cartoon character, but I couldn't really find her trace."

"It's impossible for her to be back, right? Didn't she send Yingying to you and then go to hell herself to use her previous merits to donate for a good rebirth?

At this time, hell is undergoing major changes, how can she still have the mind to come up and jump around?"

"That's what I thought too, but the problem is, regardless of whether it's her in person, the Cold Clothes Festival doesn't seem to have really passed."

"Heh, then why are you so nervous? It's not a big deal."

Lawyer An didn't care. He was more interested in hearing the details of the major changes in hell. As for Yingying's matter, he really didn't think it was anything serious.

To put it another way, even if Madam Bai really came up again, with so many people in the bookstore, would we still be afraid of her?

However,

Looking at Zhou Ze's anxious appearance now,

Lawyer An could also understand.

His own boss can only be described as indifferent to other people, but he is completely different towards this zombie maid.

"Boss, is it because I wasn't burned that something went wrong?"

Yingying asked timidly.

Zhou Ze glared at her and said angrily, "If you're going to say that everything will be fine as long as you're burned now, I'm going to be very angry."

Bai Yingying pouted.

She really wanted to say that,

Half a year ago, she had customized a bamboo bed for herself for the Cold Clothes Festival,

It's a pity that

She had been paying rent to let the manufacturer keep it in the warehouse,

But she couldn’t take it out.

It wasn't that Yingying was eager to die, but she was thinking that if the boss had a whim and wanted to burn her during the Cold Clothes Festival, what would happen if he couldn't find bamboo for a while?

"Actually, you shouldn't have come back so early. Since that guy showed up in Disneyland, it's best to investigate further over there."

Lawyer An analyzed.

Zhou Ze shook his head. "That's not an avatar or a puppet. The other party didn't give me a chance to follow the clues at all. There's no difference whether I stay in Shanghai or not."

Lawyer An heard the words and pondered.

"There's no point in guarding against thieves for a thousand days. If this matter isn't resolved, I always feel like there might be a big problem."

Zhou Ze didn't want

Bai Yingying to suddenly have a problem one day,

This was a burden he couldn't bear.

"Lao An, is there a way to find out what official position she sought after going to hell?"

"Boss, that's impossible. Not to mention that hell is a mess right now, even in the past, with the complex factional relationships of the Yin Division, unless you are qualified enough, it is difficult to investigate a specific person.

Moreover, hell is not just the Yin Division. It is also possible that Madam Bai joined other forces. If the Yin Division is the imperial court, then other factions are the feudal kings, and they also have official positions there."

"Sigh."

Zhou Ze was now a little regretful.

He knew that when he was in hell,

He should have told Tie Hanhan not to rush to blow up the dharma body of a Yama,

But instead, he directly forced him to ask:

"Do you know Madam Bai of Tong City?"

Of course,

This can only be imagined. Hindsight is also meaningless.

"How about this, I'll think of a way to find some local mountain spirits and wild demons to see if I can get some clues from them. It's just a pity that in this world, propriety has collapsed and music is ruined. Most of the land gods and mountain gods have long lost their positions. If I could find the local land lord to ask, then..."

"Don't think about the land lord. I seem to have swallowed him."

"............" Lawyer An.

"Go find others."

"Yeah, that's the only way. But, Boss, I've arranged your promotion to constable. It's time to get a promotion and at least establish your position. But you may have to go to Yunnan."

A constable with five ghost messengers under his command is a way to completely fix the small team.

Taking advantage of the current chaos in hell and the extremely serious problems within the Yin Division, the matter of building high walls and accumulating food must be accelerated.

"Let's solve this matter first."

Zhou Ze's attitude was very firm.

"Okay, without further ado, I'll set off first. I'll give Lao Zhang a call later and ask him to help investigate, but after all, this matter is not investigating a case, so he doesn't have many ways."

After separating,

Lawyer An left alone in his car,

Zhou Ze and Yingying got into another car.

"Boss, I've caused you trouble."

Yingying sat in the passenger seat,

Biting her red lips lightly,

She seemed very embarrassed.

As a maid, her task was to make the boss comfortable and happy, but now, she has become the boss's trouble.

"Don't think nonsense, don't worry, it's not a big problem."

Zhou Ze reached out and put his hand on Yingying's shoulder,

"I don't know if that guy is Madam Bai, but since she didn't appear directly in front of me, obviously, she is also afraid and wary.

Your boss has seen a lot in hell this time, this little ripple is nothing."

"Yes, Boss is the most amazing!"

Zhou Ze smiled,

The relationship between him and Yingying

doesn't seem to be purely love between a man and a woman, but after spending a long time together, he really can't live without her.

Having lived two lives, Zhou Ze also knew that his temperament was too indifferent. Perhaps it was because of his background and experience. For example, after he and Wang Ke left the orphanage, they didn't contact or meet for more than ten years.

But the more selfish and ungrateful a person is, the more unwilling they are to let go once they really encounter someone they are willing to cherish.

"Boss, where are we going?"

Yingying found that the car was not heading back to the bookstore.

"You'll know when we get there."

Indeed, you'll know when we get there.

This piece of land

is still barren.

Zhou Ze had inquired about it before. This piece of land was said to have been taken by a developer who wanted to change the land attributes by fooling around, but after a period of bickering with the higher-ups, it was delayed. Anyway, the land was circled like this and overgrown with weeds.

However, this piece of land has been circled for many years. It is estimated that even if the developer does nothing, he can earn a lot by reselling it.

And here,

is where Madam Bai entertained Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang in the first place.

I still remember that day,

More than a dozen tables were set up here, and Yingyingyanyan shuttled back and forth. This was the first time Zhou Ze had seen such a scene. Although the scene in the little boy's cave later was much larger than here, the impression left by this place for the first time was the most profound in terms of shock.

Yingying also recognized where this was, but she didn't say anything, just followed Zhou Ze carefully.

Walking to a pit,

Zhou Ze squatted down,

smiled,

This pit

is still there.

"Yingying, I dug you out from here in the first place."

"Ying..."

I remember that Xu Qinglang and I worked together to dig out the coffin, but Xu Qinglang couldn't stand the cold as soon as he touched Yingying's body, and when I reached out to touch it, I felt refreshed and comfortable!

Perhaps,

the fate of the two people

was determined at that time.

Zhou Ze didn't understand why he came here. Perhaps, this is the place where Madam Bai left her last trace.

However,

at this moment,

Zhou Ze's eyes were suddenly attracted by a piece of white cloth in front of him. He immediately walked over and took the white cloth out of the pile of ashes. Not long ago, someone had burned paper money here.

What's going on?

Below the ashes, there were still traces of incense ash left. It should have been a sacrifice burned a few days ago.

This is not a grave, but just a piece of wasteland. Who would come here to burn paper money?

Immediately afterwards,

Zhou Ze also found that on the stone in front of the ashes, there seemed to be an unusual luster left, which was especially obvious under the moonlight.

Putting his hand on the stone, he felt a slight special coolness. This stone had been touched by a ghost and soaked in ghost energy. Ordinary people could not detect the abnormality, but Zhou Ze could clearly distinguish and confirm it.

Someone burned paper here,

Someone sat in front of the fire,

Enjoying the offering!

The one sitting there enjoying the offering

is…

Zhou Ze stood up

and looked ahead.

He suddenly discovered that on the ground in front of him,

There were actually many traces of ash piles, but they were already very shallow. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find them at all, because this is a wasteland and no one cleans it, so even if it is windy and rainy, the black that has soaked into the soil and the charred black of the branches next to it cannot be completely erased.

Zhou Ze bit his lip,

He suddenly had an amazing discovery.

That Madam Bai,

Actually, she didn't go to hell at all!

She has always been

in Tong City!
