Chapter Seventy-Four: Flurry Dance (D)
After wiping the water from the sky, I could already see a vague black shadow in the whirlwind in the courtyard through the open door, floating across the courtyard, over the threshold, and into the house. It is vaguely humanoid www.biquge.info but it seems to be wrapped in a large piece of black cloth, and its hands seem to be clasped in front of its chest, holding something. floated all the way to Zhou Tong's face, stopped, and looked at Zhou Tong in a daze. Zhou Tong must have been conscious at this moment, and the fear and despair in her eyes froze at that moment at the same time. The black cloth wrapped around the human form slowly drifted away like smoke and dust, and inside was a ragged, scrawny man, a skeleton without a head, and it should be its head in its arms, gray hair covered it, blocking half of its face, hanging down to its knees, faintly visible, its face was covered with blood, dried into a shell, and its eyes, nostrils, and mouth were wrapped in it.
This thing, which I am afraid cannot be called by people, finally has a movement, it slowly raised its hands, held its head, and sent it to Zhou Tong, maybe just a finger away, the white smoke that slowly overflowed from the mouth and nose of the skull, slowly descended along Zhou Tong's long hair, as if she was wrapped in a white scarf, fluttering from side to side. The skull was also trying to open its eyes and open its mouth, and every twitch of its shriveled muscles made a crisp "click" sound, and the blood clots on the eyes and mouth were splitting apart one by one and falling to the ground.
At this time, Zhou Tong's pupils were dilated, and her facial muscles were pumped together, she should have fainted, but she could only stand upright like this, and the head held by the skeleton was almost on her face. I actually made a move very early, opened the leather bag with my right hand, and felt out the copper bell, which can be completed in a second or two under normal circumstances, I started from the moment the black shadow entered the house, until now I just felt it, but the more the effect of Shen Xin Dan appeared, I could already slowly lift the copper bell, and my body could also move slowly, and the human figure seemed to have noticed my movement, holding the head in both hands, and began to turn to my side.
I have raised the bronze bell, this copper bell is the Chang family for generations to pass down the soul bell, should be a relic of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, my own understanding is that this copper bell can send out the soul of the original path of the same frequency of the bell, so that the soul awakens to the wrong path, and return to the right track. At that moment, the crisp sound of the copper bell sounded and crossed the sky. The humanoid froze for a moment, as if unwilling, and then his whole body began to spin rapidly, turned into a cloud of black gas, crashed out of the house, and disappeared into the darkness of the courtyard.
There was silence in the room, and the power of Shen Xin Dan's medicine made my heart ache unbearably, and every blood vessel seemed to be about to burst open, and I held on to the back of my chair, trying to hold my body from collapsing. At this time, the silent room suddenly became noisy, the sound of music, clinking glasses, footsteps, and talking returned to the moment before the end of time in an instant, which made me a little dizzy, and then the lights turned on, but in everyone's exclamation, Zhou Tong screamed and fell to the ground. And everyone's eyes turned to me and the brass bell in my hand, confused, frightened, angry. I suddenly understood that everyone only had the memory of Zhou Tong standing in front of me when the light was black, and the fact that I raised this weird bell after the light was turned on, and Zhou Tong fell to the ground at the same time.
I smiled bitterly and wanted to straighten up, but suddenly a person jumped out behind me, stopped me by the waist, I subconsciously shrunk, lowered my center of gravity, with his strength, twisted my waist, grabbed his hand and took advantage of the situation, so that he turned in front of me. But unexpectedly, his reaction was also very fast, and the moment he lost his center of gravity, his hands hugged my legs, and I was unsteady on my feet and fell down with him. That's when I heard him shouting "Police, be honest." A young man on the other side of the sofa jumped on the coffee table, and in the crisp sound of glass breaking, he pounced, and while pressing me under him, he shouted into the walkie-talkie, "I'm No. 4, No. 4, I caught the suspect, Lingjing Hutong"
I sat in the conference room of the criminal investigation team, rubbing my numb wrists, and Team Cao sat next to me, still chattering and complaining, "It's not me who said you, you go to the black light dance party to investigate and inform me, all of our police forces have rushed out to squat, it's been two or three days, I heard that I was caught today, I'm very happy, I came back to see that it's you, Team Jiang also knows, and is rushing over, maybe how to scold you, you be careful." "Zhou Tong, that girl is okay, right?" For Zhou Tong, who took the initiative to stand in front of me, I was still a little sorry in my heart. "I always thought you were a person who saw through the red dust, but I didn't think that your mortal heart was not small at all? She was fine, just a little frightened, and we had already made her believe that it was the gas leak that caused her to hallucinate, and she would soon be discharged from the hospital. As he was talking, Team Jiang pushed the door in, Criminal Detective Cao and I hurriedly stood up, Team Jiang didn't have any expression, and patted me on the shoulder, "Second son, I have wronged you, is there a clue?" I nodded, "It's generally clear, it's more troublesome than I expected" "Sit down and talk slowly, Xiao Cao, why didn't you pour some water, go quickly" Team Cao was very strange when he saw Team Jiang's calm appearance, and obediently poured water.
I asked for a cigarette from Team Ginger and began to slowly talk about my judgment. The core of the Black Lantern Ball case is the appearance of the ghost lead, and the audio tape left behind by the first case in the shadow wall alley has proved the existence of the ghost lead, which is to guide the ghost spirit to the dance scene in the form of sound. But the trouble is that the spread of the ghost guide is achieved by stringing the tape, and we don't know how much of the string is out, and it is difficult for us to find out the original source, let alone catch the person who made the ghost lead. There is also a big trouble, the location of the crime is near the Haiyan Well, I'm afraid it's not a coincidence. Team Jiang pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you confirm that the Xuanmen is open?" I nodded, "What I met in the Spirit Realm Hutong today is the same as in the subway, and I won't be wrong about the sound of metal rubbing." It's just that I haven't figured out what the purpose of this ghost guide is?"
Team Jiang also lit the cigarette, but his brows became tighter and tighter, "Second son, there are some things that you never know why, because the most difficult thing to see through is the human heart, so it's really a god, a ghost, it's easy to do, Feng Xuanmen seems to have to invite Mr. Zhao, do you get these things back, are you sure?" "No problem, don't worry, Team Jiang, what about the ghost lead?" "Just borrow the matter of Chi Daxing, beat the water dog, and solve the ghost guide by the way." ”
I've been busy for the next few weeks, with a total of wells all over the sea, and I need to make my way home for the spirits. Of course, the most miserable person was Team Cao, who and the other three detectives had to hold the bronze candlestick every day, standing in the position I had set, and unfortunately they couldn't speak, couldn't move, couldn't let the candle go out, and had to endure the monotonous sound of the copper bell all night. On the first night, Mr. Zhao, dressed in a black robe, walked past me, smiled, and nodded to me. Things in the world are so wonderful, Wu Zhu five surnames, thousands of years of fierce fighting, but sometimes, we have to cooperate, and we must be intimate when we cooperate. After the cooperation, there was no friendship at all, and the intrigue continued.
No one knows what the work Mr. Zhao and I are doing, and no one asks why, just because the incident itself doesn't seem so real. Relatively speaking, what the Jiang team did can only be described as vigorous. With regard to the problem of moral turpitude caused by the black light ball, the problem of disturbing the people at night, and the serious waste of living materials, the relevant departments carried out a highly effective crackdown. A month later, I watched on TV as Team Jiang held torches and lit a hill of cassette tapes stacked more than one person high, with a resolute and grim expression. The newspapers unanimously praised the decisive victory of the ban on the Black Lantern Ball. But no one noticed that after this vigorous people's war, in less than half a year, the officially introduced genuine Teresa Teng tapes were all over the streets and alleys, and the regular ballroom dance halls also sprung up in the four or six cities.
In the early summer of the following year, I accidentally ran into a toad mirror at the mouth of the alley, he pedaled a broken 28 bicycle, carrying a tape recorder on his shoulder, saw me, supported the car with one foot, said hello, and told me mysteriously, "Chang Ye, don't you like the plate of tapes I stringed last time?" I hid it at home, how about it, give you a plate?"
