Chapter 37: You're Late
took out his ability to press the bottom of the box, and it really worked. As I pronounced the spell, a golden light galloped away with the talisman, rushed through Guan Linlin's smoky miasma, and slapped straight into the middle of her forehead. Immediately, a white light was shot out of her body, rising lightly, like smoke that had nowhere to transform on the incense burner.
Guan Linlin's body fell to the ground, and the white mist behind her continued to twist and change, making a groan as if several people were suffering. The voice was sharp and harsh, bitter, like an aggressive thorn in a primitive war, irritating my eardrums. I didn't know and thought that this family was killing pigs, so I quickly cleaned up the mess so that the aunt of the neighborhood committee would not come to the door.
Thinking of this, I quickly put my index fingers together and focused on the talisman to increase its power.
"Close", as soon as the words fell, the golden light in the spell rose more and more, so that I couldn't really see it, until the light converged, and the air was already clean, and there was no trace of ghosts.
I hurried over to check, only to see Guan Linlin's corpse lying stiffly on the ground, without the blessing of the female ghost behind her, her corpse instantly gave birth to a large number of corpse spots and traces of decay, and the beauty of stillness no longer existed. The yellow charm was still on her forehead, and I took it off and carefully put it back in my coat pocket. Then I turned on the light, blew out the disturbing scented candle, and simply cleaned up the fragments of the talisman scattered all over the place.
It is the responsibility of our celestial master to exorcise ghosts and eliminate monsters, and as for the follow-up of the corpse and this nail salon, I am obviously beyond my strength. I hesitated to call Li Lu to come over and clean up the mess, and I felt that it was very inappropriate for me, the "consultant" who had just been kicked out of the team, to appear here, and no matter how I looked at it, it looked like a "thief shouting to catch a thief".
In order to prevent him from making something out of nothing, I decided to leave. I carefully searched the house inside and outside the house to make sure that the "crime scene" did not leave any clues related to me, nor did I take anything else. The most difficult part of the spell attack has been solved by me, and the next murder, theft and sale of corpses, all belong to the category of materialism, so leave it to the police comrades to improve their performance.
I wiped off any marks I might have left on the nail salon with a tissue, thoughtfully turned off the lights, and the word "shell" on the window was abrupt and ugly against the background of the night, like a nostalgic dream about to be shattered. I slowly touched the position of the door with a little moonlight, and was about to open the door, when suddenly I heard a slight friction sound from the other end, perhaps with the blessing of the night, this inconspicuous sound was infinitely amplified in the night, so that I could easily capture it.
There are people outside the door. I don't know who it was or what it was for, but I was sure that the door between us brought us closer than ever—I could tell where he was as he moved, and I could even feel that he was pressed to the door at the moment, trying to detect my every move in the room.
I just imprisoned the female ghost in the talisman in my arms, and her Heavenly Master Master wouldn't have come to the door so quickly. I'm empty-handed, and I've run out of spells, so I can only bite the doorknob and open it, trying to win by surprise.
Almost at the same moment, the dark shadow outside the door flickered violently, and when I figured out the situation, I saw that the muzzle of the gun, which was more silent than the night, was aimed at my forehead, cold and hard and could not be refused.
"Why are you?" the man behind the muzzle of the gun recognized me first, and then put down the gun, his tone was unconcealed in his surprise and bewilderment, and even his voice trembled slightly.
Only then did I see clearly that the other actor who had just acted in a suspenseful pantomime across the door from me was my haunting neighbor Li Lu.
"Why are you?" I was still frightened by the muzzle of the gun, anxious and angry, and blurted out the same question as him.
"As a police officer, it should be normal for me to follow the clues and come here", Li Lu made sure that I was the only one in the door, then put the gun back in the holster, and entered the house to turn on the light. It must have been because he pressed the wrong button, not only did the light bulb in the room turn on, but the old-fashioned fan next to him began to creak and spin, stirring up the thin dust of the roof. He had to turn around and turn off the fan again, the corners of his mouth pursed, looking helpless and frustrated.
"I'm here, I should be very ......" I was so weak in my heart, I swallowed back my stomach after half of what I said, Li Lu was not in a hurry for my answer, but carefully inspected the scenery in the house. Since I can't find a reasonable explanation for a while, it's better to divert the topic first, "Comrade policeman, Guan Linlin's body is in the room, do you want to take a look." ”
"Oh?" Obviously, this offer caught Li Lu's attention to me, and he glanced at me, his eyes flashing with surprise, making his whole person look less gloomy. Then he walked into the room where I had just "fought", and I followed him and crouched down next to him.
"It's indeed Guan Linlin's corpse", Li Lu roughly checked the situation of the corpse surface, touched it with his gloved hand, and stood up, "The temperature of the corpse surface is too low, it should have been refrigerated." But now it's on the ground, Zhao Youyi, have you moved her corpse?" I thought he was talking to himself, but I didn't expect Li Lu to suddenly call my name and ask me to answer the question.
"I don't know, she's been on the ground...... "I'm sorry, I'm a deceitful junior."
"When did you come?" as if my answer was out of reference, he interrupted me, stood up and looked around as he threw me a new question, "You'd better explain everything you've been here tonight." His words were serious and serious, and if I guessed correctly, he seemed a little angry.
"That's the case, didn't you refuse me to continue to participate in Guan Linlin's case during the day, I just thought about investigating myself, in case I can help you, right...... Then I remembered that Guan Linlin told me before her death, saying that she often came here to do nail art, of course, just casually mentioned it, I thought about coming over to have a look, but I didn't expect that the door was open here, and her body was found in the house. "Whether Li Luo believes it or not, in short, I want to avoid the important and lightly narrate the story, so that everything seems accidental and mediocre.
"How did I know that you police are so powerful, I didn't come by myself if I knew that I wouldn't have come. I patted my chest and forced the nausea in my stomach to turn upside down. The smell of the strange aromatherapy just now made me dizzy, and coupled with the devastation and torture of the so-called "soul well" in the mouth of the female ghost, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am now greatly injured.
"You're too late. "Thinking of this, I was actually a little aggrieved.
"Got it", I don't know if it was my true feelings that had an effect, Li Lu didn't continue to have seizures, nor did he continue to ask me, but just took out his mobile phone to send a message, as if he was mobilizing people. This attitude was confusing, but it was not the first time, and I found myself accustomed to his hot and cold attitude, as well as his unwarranted suspicion and blind trust in me.
"Don't leave yet, wait and follow me back to the bureau. ”
"I swear I didn't have anything to do with her—" I raised my right hand to express my sincerity with my oath, but before I could lift my hand above my head, I suddenly felt my legs go limp like a cloud, and the world in front of me swirled without warning, and then it was swallowed up by darkness.
