Chapter Twenty-Four: The Castle in the Middle of Nowhere

The place was actually a remote castle, far away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, without any noisy sound. It is a great place to retreat.

The castle was given to me by a rich woman who had commissioned me to investigate the identity of her husband's lover shortly after I had set up a detective agency.

She said that because of the evidence I had investigated, she had been able to gain the initiative in the distribution of property after the divorce, which had helped her a lot, and that she had finally gifted me the castle in return for her gratitude.

For a wealthy woman like her, she would not care about a small remote castle. But for me, it's a beautiful thing like money falling from the sky. Naturally, I accepted her gift without hesitation, and when I went to check it out, I was surprised to find that although the castle was remote, the surrounding environment was very beautiful. It is a solitary wonderland on earth, and the surrounding area of the castle is surrounded by all kinds of strange flowers.

The castle has three floors, each with an area of more than 200 square meters, and it is a huge castle. Not only is it large, but it is also extremely magnificently decorated. What's even more amazing is that it is also equipped with complete daily necessities.

If it weren't for the fact that such a large castle was so luxurious and luxurious, and there were no people around, I am sure that the rich woman would not have given it to me.

Later, when I took over this ancient castle, for the safety of the ancient castle, I specially asked an old lady to help me guard this ancient castle, this old lady's name is Qin Genxiang, and I call her Granny Qin every time in order to respect her.

Granny Qin was very friendly, and every time I came to the castle, she would cook me a delicious meal, and then talk to me about some short topics in the family with great interest while eating.

Now, I'm going back to the castle again, because I've made an appointment to meet Jack in the castle. This castle is the old place where I met Jack.

The first time Jack became involved with this castle was because he encountered an extremely complex and suspenseful murder case, which involved the problem of the FBI's internal police officer**, and in order to prevent the news from leaking, I asked him to come to my castle.

Since then, the castle has been a great place for Jack and I to talk about difficult cases.

Today, of course, the murder and dismemberment of the female ghost that Jack encountered is also about to meet in this old place.

I drove my car to the castle.

As I drove the car, I kept thinking about the ghost called Mitsuko Yamada, what would the world be like if she was really resurrected and returned to the yang world.

Will the whole world become a kingdom of ghosts? Then Mitsuko Yamada acts as the king of the ghosts. All of us will be her slaves, without thought and without freedom.

When the time comes, she will control us slaves with all her might, and become the master of the whole world.

And what is the point of living without our minds and without our freedom?

When I think of this, I can't help but sweat in my palms, my heart beats faster, and my chest rises and falls.

In order to calm myself down and stop thinking nonsense, I got out of the car, sat on a grassy place, lit a cigarette, and smoked hard.

After half an hour of rest, I finally calmed down a little, and I drove back to the castle.

After more than two hours of travel, I finally arrived at the Kasbah.

Stopping the car, I slowly walked into the castle.

As soon as he stepped into the castle, an old lady in her seventies greeted her from inside. Of course, this old lady is the Granny Qin I asked to guard the ancient castle.

When Granny Qin saw me, she smiled kindly, and she stretched out her arms and gave me a huge hug.

She smiled: "Child, you haven't been here for a long time, haven't you been very busy lately, don't always focus on work, your body is the most important capital, you have to pay attention to the combination of work and rest!" ”

Granny Qin is like my grandmother, she cares about me very much, every time I come to the castle, she will tell me to rest more, not to work too hard, for her elder's kindness, of course, I will not rebel.

I smiled and said, "Got it, mother-in-law, you're getting older, you must take good care of your health." ”

Granny Qin seemed to be busy for a long time, she wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said with a smile: "I don't need you to worry, I am in good health, I'm seventy years old, and my heart is ...... thirty years old."

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes...... Yes, you will live a long life. ”

After listening to my words, Granny Qin smiled and said nothing. I started to get busy on my own.

She smiled and said, "Son, did you encounter any major murder cases this time?" ”

I smiled wryly: "Yes, this case is very terrifying, I can't solve it at all, I need to find someone to help." ”

Granny Qin comforted: "Child, don't worry, the murder cases you encountered before were so complicated that you solved them, and I believe this time will be no exception." ”

Looking at Granny Qin's kind tone, I suddenly felt a burst of warmth, but this warmth was fleeting.

I shook my head at her, and said helplessly: "It's different, my mother-in-law's murder this time is completely different from the previous ones, I ...... You won't believe me when I say it. ”

Granny Qin actually sat down in front of me at some point, she patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be discouraged, child, no matter who doesn't believe your words, I will believe you Granny Qin." ”

I nodded and said to her, "Ah, mother-in-law, I forgot to tell you, Colonel Jack will be coming in a while, you go and cook a few more dishes, I want to talk to Jack about the whole story of this murder." ”

Granny Qin said again and again: "Okay...... Okay, I'm going to cook for you now. ”

Looking at her departing back, I sat alone in the room, and the two mysterious old men Zhou Xian and Zhong Daring kept coming to mind.

I don't know how Zhou Zhou Xian is now, whether he found the Yin and Yang Duo Mirror in the Tianshan Mountains. And for the Taoist Zhong boldness, I am even more confused. Because until now, I am not sure whether the Taoist priest on the tomb who was dressed exactly like him and was dismembered is him. I can only guess from my own instincts that he won't die that easily.

The only thing I know for sure is that the demons will return to the yang world in six days, so as to do evil and disturb the world.

I don't know what to do at the moment except ask Colonel Jack to help me find a priest.

I sat quietly in my chair and waited for Jack to arrive.

Maybe it was because of the hard work of the day, I actually fell asleep in the chair.

By the time I woke up, it was past five o'clock in the afternoon. However, it was strange to me that Colonel Jack had not yet come. I'm an old friend of him, and I know he's definitely not one to be late.

I immediately grabbed the phone in my room and dialed Jack's cell. After the phone was connected, there was a disgusting moan on the other end of the phone.

I knew that Jack was going to prostitute again, and I couldn't help but yell, "Jack, you bastard, don't you remember what day it is?" Get back to me, and I'll tell you the details of the case. ”

I didn't expect that after listening to my words, Jack actually laughed shamelessly, and he said: "Brother Long, this time is different from before, I went to the castle to discuss with you before the case was investigated, and this time you have already helped me solve the case, it doesn't matter if I go later!" ”

As soon as I heard him say such bastard words, where could I restrain myself, I clenched my left hand and gritted my teeth and scolded: "Jack, you beast, the scum of the police, I tell you that from now on, Lao Tzu will never agree to any of your requests, and I will cut you off after this matter is over." ”

Jack seemed to sense my anger, and he repeatedly advised, "Don't...... Brother Long, we've been partners for many years, you can't treat me like this......"

Where will I pay attention to his words, I am a decisive person, and since I have made up my mind not to have anything to do with him again, I will never regret it again. So I said coldly: "You hurry up, hurry up and help me find a Taoist priest together." If you don't find him, the whole world will be turned upside down. All of us are going to become unconscious puppets to be slaughtered......"
