A Simple Divination, Confession And Punishment

53-54

Outside the bamboo forest, everything was calm and peaceful.

　　It was completely dark.

　　There was a private house not far away, with bright lights shining on the lawn, and the golden retriever guarding the house kept barking in the direction of the bamboo forest.

　　Chu Yuening came here with Yu Feiyang, holding a compass and a peach wood sword.

　　"Dandan and I always meet here for dates. The scenery is nice and there is a bay at the outermost part." Yu Feiyang pointed to the bamboo forest in front.

　　Chu Yuening looked at the faint black air above the bamboo forest. It was like there was a hood covering the sky. The black air was evenly distributed in the bamboo forest and did not spread around.

　　That is to say, apart from the bamboo forest, it cannot harm anyone else.

　　"interesting."

　　The people inside seemed to know she was coming.

　　My feet have just stepped into the bamboo forest.

　　The barking of dogs and the sound of waves all disappeared. The space was so silent that no movement could be heard except for Yu Feiyang's nervous and rapid breathing.

　　It was as if I had walked out of a cave and the dark place gradually became brighter.

　　Cantonese opera singing can be heard.

　　"The falling catkins and flying flowers have insulted your elegance, Mr. Bai, return my hairpin to me..."

　　The lights and shadows on the stage intertwined, and the actress waved her sleeves so that her face could not be seen clearly.

　　The audience was packed below the stage, including old people, young people, and children holding sugar paintings. They were all wearing long robes and had pale faces and no expression.

　　Yu Feiyang turned pale with fear and retreated behind Chu Yuening: "Master Chu, when did the stage appear in the bamboo forest?"

　　"Take a look first." Chu Yuening searched around.

　　There was a tall man sitting in the last row wearing a windbreaker. He was dressed differently from the other people in robes and stood out.

　　Chu Yuening felt that the back figure looked familiar and was a little surprised: "Officer Zhou?"

　　Zhou Fengxu obviously didn't hear it. He looked ahead with a stern expression and sang the sad tune again and again. His slender, bony fingers followed the rhythm and slowly beat the beat on his legs.

　　Chu Yuening: ...

　　He had a cold temperament, a large amount of black air gathered around him but could not get close to him, there was only a faint black mist above his head.

　　Because Zhou Fengxu is a police officer from CID and has accumulated a lot of merits by redressing the injustices for the victims, plus he is very upright, so the ghost spirit cannot approach him.

　　Chu Yuening grabbed the peach wood sword and swung it over his head, cutting off the black air that was surrounding him. After the black air dissipated, she quickly pulled the man up.

Zhou Fengxu suddenly woke up, turned his head and saw a little head next to him. The girl put down the peach wood sword and smiled, "Hi, Officer Zhou."

　　Yu Feiyang also greeted him: "Sir Zhou."

　　Although the two were not in the same department, they both worked at the Kowloon Police Station and saw each other every day. In particular, Team D was very efficient in solving cases, so naturally they had heard of Zhou Fengxu's name.
