Chapter 132 Familiar formula, the origin of the soul bottle!
Hearing Wu Suo's reminder, Wu Xie's eyes became deep and he made a gesture that everything was OK.

Looking at the time, Wu Suowei had already gotten off work, and then he took a breath.

"Now it's time for you to get off work. I won't take up any more of your time. Let's go check it out."

"You can go back first. I will have a video conference as soon as I have any news."

"Uh (┯_┯). Is this like scolding the cook after having a full meal, or beating the monk after reciting the sutras?"

Wu Suowei looked at the remaining two people. He felt like a large light bulb here, and the light on his head was brighter than that of a shaved monk.

Bai Haotian would definitely not want to stay like this any longer.

Wu Suowei had a playful look on his face and pointed at Bai Haotian.

"Okay, Wu Xie, you are the most powerful leader in Warehouse 11. It will be beneficial to walk with the leader."

“Whenever you can use your power, never be polite to your leader.”

Hearing Wu Suo's hidden meaning in his words, Bai Haotian rolled his eyes and shook his fist. Wu Xie shook his head and laughed a few times.

"When is it your turn to worry about me? Go away, go away."

"That's right, it's such a nuisance here." Bai Haotian curled his lips.

"Bye." Wu Suowei said as he walked towards the warehouse door.

Looking at Wu Suo's departing back, Wu Xie also said goodbye to Bai Haotian and went towards Director Ding's office.

He felt that this matter was becoming more and more difficult, but also more and more interesting.

After leaving Warehouse 11, Wu Suowei rode a motorcycle towards Atuo's tattoo shop.

Wu Suowei had always thought that this motorcycle was very handsome and suited his image perfectly. Just as Wu Suowei was riding away, A-Tu's face couldn't help but darken.

Good fellow, come here to get something back. And he's thinking about his beloved motorcycle again. How shameless.

Wu Suowei persuaded A-Tou into giving him a lot of good wine and some useless antiques.

It was agreed that it was just a loan. Well, I have been using it for more than half a month. Thinking that it is not convenient for Atuo to go out, I will go to her place to return it. It is easy to borrow and return, and it will not be difficult to borrow it again.

In the wilderness, he was not afraid of any traffic accidents and was thinking about how to deal with them all the way.

When he arrived at the tattoo shop, harsh music came into his ears. He put on his headphones and parked his motorcycle outside the door.

Wu Suowei entered the store with a puzzled look on his face. After entering, he saw that the store was a bit messy, with tattoo machines scattered on the ground.

There were milk tea boxes scattered on the ground, and even torn pieces of cloth.

Was the gangster robbed?

Wu Suowei thought to himself that something was wrong, and quickly walked into the store and looked around. Just then he saw the sofa seat faintly showing the popular dreadlocks of Atou, and with doubt in his heart, Wu Suowei walked towards her.

"Fuck!"

As soon as I met Atuo, I was shocked by her appearance. Her eyes were unfocused, and I didn't know if it was eye shadow or the panda eyes caused by staying up late, but they were pitch black.

And it seems that he has lost a little weight.

She looked like she hadn't eaten for several days. Seeing this, Wu Suowei waved his hand in front of her.

No response, is there really something wrong? Wu Suowei couldn't help but frowned, and was about to push her, but his palm was only halfway there.

A-Tuo, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, suddenly jumped up, rolled his eyes and asked Wu Suowei, "What do you want to do?"

"Ah? Oh my god, you scared me." Wu Suowei looked at her, then looked at his hand suspended in mid-air, and quickly took it back.

"I didn't mean to do anything. I just saw that you looked absent-minded and lifeless. What happened in the store? Did you get robbed?"

"Hehe, it's okay. I threw them away myself." Atuo said embarrassedly. Then she looked at the messy store and started cleaning up, bypassing Wu Suowei.

"Huh? What's wrong? It hasn't been like this before?" Wu Suowei rolled his eyes and thought for a while, thinking that something must be wrong.

But apart from the motorcycle incident, he seemed to have not annoyed her in the past two days. Suddenly, Wu Suowei realized that it was about the motorcycle he borrowed and not returning.

I haven't paid it back for half a month. It must be inconvenient to travel here. It's a bit remote here.

"Well, about the motorcycle. It's not that I don't want to return it, but there was an accident at work, right?"

"Hiss, life is full of accidents. There's nothing we can do about this. I originally wanted to pay it back. The point is, when these things happened so much, I just forgot about it." Wu Suowei said without blinking.

Atuo, who was cleaning, rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't say it was about the motorcycle."

After he finished speaking, there seemed to be some quibbling in his voice. Wu Suowei thought about the sneezing incident again and guessed that it had affected other people's travel.

"Well, I know this is a matter of credit. This matter of credit must be more important than Mount Tai, right?"

"But, I think, well, you look like you've become skinny from starvation. Ahem, I'll help you clean up, and then I'll treat you to a meal."

"I think this is settled."

And so, the two of them began the spring cleaning.

Let’s not talk about this, in warehouse 11.

On this side, Bai Haotian has also brought over the information about Zicang.

"Those materials were indeed destroyed in a special fire, but the few clues that remain are indeed as Director Ding said."

As Bai Haotian spoke, he laid out all the special information in front of Wu Xie.

"In addition, six other victims were found."

Then Bai Haotian took out the information of six victims from a special file bag.

"What's in the warehouse?" Wu Xie asked after taking a look.

"Before this, the items placed there were all very precious. But for some of the weird items, they all had a unified condition that adults couldn't touch them, only children could touch them, and it was only safe if children were watching over them. Nothing would happen, otherwise all kinds of things would happen."

Bai Haotian answered them one by one.

"This was also the original intention of building the Zicang. The older generation at that time were all superstitious. They said that children were the purest and were not afraid of the slightest temptation. However, this rule no longer exists now."

It seems that there are many special warehouses in Warehouse 11 that have been abolished due to changes in the times and people's concepts.

"I see. But I feel like it shouldn't be that simple." Wu Xie said thoughtfully.

There are historical relics in the sub-warehouse that need to be processed, so every once in a while one of the children will be picked out to go in and pick up the goods. This child will be called a small warehouse manager, which is also a special honor.

"Then these warehouse managers will also be replaced, right? How often will they be replaced?" Wu Xie was very perceptive at this time and immediately grasped the most critical point of the problem.

“It needs to be replaced every four years because children grow too fast and their bodies won’t allow them to fit in anymore.

"As expected, the age difference between these warehouse managers is exactly four years!"

Wu Xie looked at Bai Haotian and gave his analysis.

"It is very likely that these restaurants were once managed by Zicang. If my guess is correct, then we only have two problems now."

"First and foremost, the most important question is, why do these sub-warehouse managers come into contact with soul bottles when they grow up?"

"Secondly, if the person hiding in the soul bottle is a child, then wouldn't it be more likely that he is the warehouse manager of Zicang?"

Listening to the two questions raised by Wu Xie, Bai Haotian couldn't help but sigh.

"But the most difficult thing now is that there is no way to verify these data. The sub-warehouse has been closed for a long time. Even the last warehouse manager has grown up long ago. There is no relevant information. Where do we start?"

It seems that this incident is very special and very interesting, and it also attracted Wu Xie's attention and curiosity.

"In addition, we have another direction to start from. Although the victim was Du Mingxia, the person who touched the soul bottle was actually Du Mingqiu. This means that there is nothing wrong with the soul bottle itself, but the murderer used this as an excuse to choose his victim."

"Then the person who actually works in Zicang is most likely Du Mingqiu!"

After Wu Xie finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and said.

"Very good. In this case, it is necessary to interrogate Du Mingqiu again!"

Bai Haotian is also the supervisor of Warehouse 11 on the surface, so he has the power to call someone by name.

"You, what are you talking about? I don't know. What are you doing? And you have no right to detain me." Du Mingqiu still looked calm at this time.

"Du Mingqiu, please cooperate a little. Were you one of the warehouse managers of the sub-cang?"

"I really don't know what you are talking about." Du Mingqiu shuddered, but he looked very confused.

"Okay, you won't tell me, right?"

Wu Xie next to him stood up and walked silently to the table next to him, took the kettle and cup and placed them next to him.

"No way, you guys? Are you doing this again?"

Du Mingqiu saw that it was something familiar and the same formula, and he couldn't help but become even more frightened.

"I really don't know what you are talking about. What is Zi, Zicang? I've never heard of it!"

Du Mingqiu began to panic and kept denying that he had ever been to that place.

"It seems that you still won't turn back until you hit the wall, right?"

Seeing that this guy was still stubborn, Wu Xie poured water into the cup.

Then he said while smoking a cigarette and staring at Du Mingqiu.

"This is your last chance, you have to think it over before you speak. Otherwise, you won't have the chance to regret it. This thing is different from the last time. Coincidentally, I forgot to bring the antidote today!"

When Du Mingqiu heard this, he couldn't help but get scared again and looked a little overwhelmed.

"No! You, you can't kill me!" Suddenly, Du Mingqiu became agitated.

When Bai Haotian and Wu Xie heard this, they realized that this matter must be possible.

"Only me! Now I am the only one who knows the secret about Zicang. So, so you can't kill me! If something happens to me, then no one will be able to uncover the secret of Zicang!"

Wu Xie was happy, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel sorry that he couldn't teach Du Mingqiu a lesson. It only took a moment, and he was able to tell the difference quickly.

"Sure enough, you really worked in Zicang!"

At this time, Du Mingqiu seemed to be facing tremendous pressure, so he spoke out about this matter.

So they did not continue to force him, but gave him some buffer time.

After Du Mingqiu returned the favor for a while, he finally calmed down. This incident should be the biggest blow and the most disastrous nightmare in his life.

Now Du Mingqiu has to face some of the horrible memories of the past again and slowly talks about what happened back then.

"Warehouse 11 adopted us, so we were all grateful at that time. Everyone rushed to help out in the sub-warehouse, and I went there at that time and helped out for four years."

Wu Xie next to him immediately asked.

"So what happened in Zicang back then? And those who died in the Soul Bottle incident were all Zicang warehouse managers. What is the connection?"

Du Mingqiu continued.

"That thing was originally in the sub-warehouse. No one could have guessed why it suddenly ran out! Every warehouse manager who enters the sub-warehouse will see a shrine at the entrance. Every previous warehouse manager will remind himself to burn incense and worship."

At this point, Du Mingqiu seemed to recall some scenes from the past. From what he said, one could tell that he was very shocked.

“And the soul bottle is worshipped in that shrine.”

"The previous warehouse manager told me that according to legend, the sub-warehouse is dark and closed. So it is very humid every day, and the goods inside will mold. Later, when this soul bottle came, it absorbed the moisture in the air and filled the bottle itself with water. It is very magical."

At this point, Du Mingqiu seemed to recall some of his past emotions, and the tone of his voice also changed a little.

"So it won't get damp or moldy anymore, and we can start worshipping the soul bottle."

After listening to Du Mingqiu's description, we can know that it is because of the soul bottle that Zi Cang will no longer be the same as before, which is very troublesome.

That's why they started to worship this thing. After all, this soul bottle is too important to the environment of Zicang, so it will not be taken out easily.

"So when I found this soul bottle outside, I was very surprised. And when the other warehouse managers saw it, they were naturally also very surprised."

"It's inevitable. I'll be curious and want to get closer. I know exactly what's going on."

According to Du Mingqiu, the task of the sub-warehouse warehouse manager is to go in and out, which is no different from ordinary work, it's just a little harder.

In addition, they are not very familiar with each other. They only meet each other when they have a handover. If there is no handover, they basically don’t even know each other.

After hearing this, Wu Xie and Bai Haotian finally understood a little.

　Ps: Thank you for your recommendation votes. I will update it as I like. Just take a look. Actually, it’s my own fault. Why did I write a novel when I was so excited? I feel sorry for the readers and for the book I wrote. I don’t know what to think every day, and I don’t want it to end badly, haha. So, if you have read it, just read it. If you haven’t read it, just think of it as something I write for fun when I am bored.
