Chapter 49: Detained
I spent so much money and energy to find my wife's soul, but I found nothing, and these things around me put myself in an embarrassing situation again and again, especially Wenwen, the girl who gave me help and admired me in the hard days when my wife just died, and now I seriously doubt my character, and I have to admit that this is a very serious mental blow to me, which makes my desire to talk to my wife and pour out my heart even stronger, I don't want my wife's spirit in heaven to be disappointed in me and not have to rest well.
Fortunately, with Master's help, my pass was restored ahead of schedule, and I was able to continue to search for my wife's spirit.
"You're really a rare guest!" this is my welcome speech to Uncle Niu when I pass through the ghost gate again a few months later.
But what makes me wonder is that I can't find Xiaomeng after many inquiries, and Xiaomeng is now the key link in whether I can find my wife's dead soul.
I thought that the old ghost likes gossip and must be well-informed, but even the old ghost was not found.
Uncle Niu once hinted that Xiao Meng said in the middle that it was only a matter of time before Meng Po spoke, that is, Meng Po was the breakthrough with the greatest potential, but now the most important bridge figure Xiao Meng could not find it.
Without Xiaomeng, Meng Po seems to be allergic to me, I have to start everything from scratch, it's not easy to talk about.
Asking around about Xiaomeng's whereabouts, some wild ghosts didn't know who Xiaomeng was at all, and those who knew them said that they hadn't seen her for a long time, and in the end I had to go to the bridge to find Meng Po.
After not seeing Meng Po for a few months, she seems to be in a better mood, and she is not as full of rejection and vigilance as before when she sees me. I thought to myself, thanks to Xiaomeng's efforts.
I respectfully shouted "Granny Meng", and although Granny Meng did not directly agree, she was comforted by what she said afterwards.
"Don't go so hard to find your wife, you have her in your heart, she is already very pleased, if there is fate, she will come to you sooner or later. ”
I asked Meng Po where Xiaomeng had gone, and Meng Po ignored me as if she hadn't heard.
Walking back from Meng Po, I suddenly felt much better, and the second half of her words filled my heart full of anticipation when I was groping in the dark, and I no longer had any doubts about what Xiaomeng said.
On the way, I asked another idle white-haired ghost master about Xiaomeng.
"Xiaomeng, I guess I'm going out to work!"
"What? ghosts are also working?"
This ghost master seemed to want to laugh at my ignorance: "What's strange about this," the ghost master looked me up and down: "Aren't you a visitor from above, don't you know about the things above, in fact, the top and the bottom are the same, those who have no family background and no one to help, if you are lazy and don't do anything, you will live by begging, and begging will not be able to starve; ”
At the same time, my heart suddenly sank, could it be that Xiaomeng went to work to support herself because of lack of expenses?
A wave of sadness churned in my heart.
It's all because I'm not good, I'm too careless, and then I don't come down much, and I don't know if Xiaomeng has increased my expenses because of my affairs, and the money is not enough.
How can you not let a warm-hearted girl like Xiaomeng live in such an embarrassing situation!
I blame myself for my negligence and carelessness.
When I passed by Uncle Niu's place, I asked Uncle Niu if it was really possible for Xiaomeng to go out to work, and should I register with him to go to work?
"I don't know if I'm going to work or not," Uncle Niu pointed to the roster he just opened: "She's been up for a few days." ”
"Where did you go up, and when did you come down?"
After all, I am just a visitor to the Yang Realm, and my coming and going in the Yin and Yang Realms can be described as "going up" and "going down", and I don't really understand what is going on with the soul of the Yin Realm "going up". Could it be that Xiaomeng said that often guarding at the door of my house is considered "going up"?
What will Xiaomeng do in the yang world? Is it really like the white-haired ghost master said to work? Who can the ghost work for in the yang world?
But when I asked Uncle Niu again, he just smiled and didn't answer.
======
As soon as I got to work in the morning, the police came to my door and said that I had been accused of being a hooligan.
I don't know which ear heard it, and the office was in an uproar. I can hear their discussions, some say it's impossible, some say it's not possible, I don't know the face but don't know the heart.
The reason why the police station was able to find my office was because I went to the red skewer shop once last time, and although it was resolved peacefully in the end, the police station had an impression of me as a person, and my personal information was also recorded there.
When I arrived at the police station, I found out what happened, saying that I called a carpool in the second half of the night on Saturday, the back seat was a young girl, the driver was also a woman, and I refused to sit in the passenger seat, so I must have squeezed next to the girl in the back row, but on the way, I lifted the girl's short skirt to touch people's thighs.
Because the driver is also a woman, the girl in the back row didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear that I would be rough and the two of them were not opponents. But after getting off the bus, the female passenger went to the police station with the driver to report the case, and also called the police to the carpooling platform.
I used my mobile phone to call a taxi, the platform company had my real-name information, and combined with the location where I got off the bus, the police station could easily find me.
When I made the transcript, I insisted that I had not done that kind of hooliganism, and repeatedly stressed that I had been sleeping at home that night and had not left the house.
"Do you think we'll believe you?"
Yes, it's only been a long time since the last time I smashed the red skewer shop, how could the policeman's memory be so bad.
Although the police did not forget my "criminal record" so quickly, they still patiently asked me if anyone could prove that I slept at home and did not go out, and I could only squeak and whine, saying that I could not find someone to prove that I slept by myself.
The policeman pulled the corners of his mouth disdainfully, making me understand that I was refusing to admit guilt and making unreasonable quibbles. But what I was thinking at the time was that there was nothing wrong with going down a few times before the pass was revoked, and after being revoked, I occasionally went down but I didn't really pass through the ghost gate, and nothing happened, how could I encounter the same strange thing as before for the first time after the pass was restored, could it be that the spell that Master helped me recite has become invalid?
Because I could not provide valid evidence, the police station imposed a penalty of 7 days of administrative detention on me.
Even if I feel that I have died unjustly, I am powerless to argue with this, because even if I want to infer that there may be a human cloning crime, I have to come up with evidence to extract myself first, but I can't produce such evidence or witnesses.
I had already confessed, but I never imagined that just the day after I was detained, the police told me that there were witnesses who wanted to testify for me.
I was confused, I was alone that night, and no second person knew my whereabouts, who would testify for me?
