Chapter 238: Catching Ghosts Alone
Ge Xin wiped the sweat on his face, nodded hurriedly, and said: "I said, I bought the house for Zilin, we only moved in the day before yesterday, the lady in the family has been in poor health for the past two days, I dare not leave, I am afraid of being discovered by her, I said that I would go to see her yesterday, but..."
It turned out that the name of the deceased was Zilin, Meng Tianchu nodded, and motioned to Zhuge Xin to drink tea, Zhuge Xin picked up the tea bowl, his hands trembled so much, the tea sprinkled himself, he looked at Meng Tianchu embarrassedly, and put it down without drinking.
Meng Tianchu saw it in his eyes, most of the men in this world who are afraid of the inside may be like this, they are proud of the spring breeze in the business field outside, and they spend a lot of money, which can be called calling for wind and rain, but if they really want to bring another woman home in front of their wives, it will be even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Meng Tianchu didn't want to open up a dead man in front of this man, and shut up a deceased man's words, since he was willing to buy a house for that woman, it means that he still has a heart for that woman, so the other party should be very sad, so he said: "Then you mean that before Zilin's accident, you haven't been to that mansion, and you haven't seen Zilin?" ”
Zhuge Xin nodded hurriedly and said, "I swear, you can ask, I really haven't left the county seat for a single step." ”
"Then do you know who Zilin usually interacts with?"
"I've only known Zilin for more than ten days, her father is the head of a troupe in Hangzhou, she grew up in the troupe, she shouldn't have any other friends, I really don't know."
"Then does your lady know about Zilin?"
"That's a place that she can't ever know. If you let her know, it will definitely be turned upside down, out of control, and you must not let her know. ”
"And what if she found out and just didn't tell you?"
Zhuge Xin waved his hand and said, "We have been married for more than 30 years. I know her too well, she's a person who can't hide things, and she can't wait to let you know about anything bigger. ”
Meng Tianchu said: "Okay, you go back for the time being, don't leave the county seat during this time, and let me know if you have to leave." ”
Zhuge Xin stood up, as if he had something to say, and hesitated. I didn't know how to speak, Meng Tianchu seemed to see his thoughts, and asked: "We have brought Miss Zilin back and put it in the room, I don't know if you want to ask about your house or your people." ”
Zhuge Xin said: "I... I just want to see her again, if I can, after you guys check it out, please let me bring her back, I think... for her burial..."
Meng Tianchu looked at the tears faintly in the corners of this man's eyes, knowing that he was not lying. With a sigh, he turned to look at Murong Zhenxue.
Murong Zhenxue said, "Master Zhuge , I'll take you there." ”
Meng Tianchu said behind Zhuge Xin's back: "Aren't you afraid that your wife will know that you buried her?" ”
Zhuge Xin hesitated, didn't look back, and said, "I'll deal with this." ”
After a while, Murong Yuxue came out. Meng Tianchu saw that she was the only one, so he asked, "What about the people you brought with you?" ”
"Probably really sad, he actually fainted, I asked Wang Yi to help him out, alas, if I bring that Zilin home, there will be no such thing."
Meng Tianchu saw her sad expression, so he teased her: "You also have to look at the faces of other ladies in my family?" ”
Murong Zhenxue is smart. As soon as he heard this, his face immediately turned red, and he said angrily: "I am sad for the living, and sad for the dead." Who still listens to you say such boring things. ”
Meng Tianchu saw that Murong Zhenxue was embarrassed, and laughed.
At this time, Wang Yi helped Zhuge Xin back, he had already woken up, but his eyes were already red and swollen from crying.
Meng Tianchu said: "Do you think you have seen anything abnormal?" ”
Zhuge Xin shook his head and did not speak.
Meng Tianchu said: "I'll ask Wang Zhutou to send you back, and if you think of anything, tell me." ”
Zhuge Xin said: "No need, let my lady see that it is someone from the yamen who will send it back, I am afraid that I will have to be strictly interrogated, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist and tell the truth, I better go by myself." ”
Meng Tianchu said: "I heard that the house you bought has been haunted before, don't you know?" ”
"I only heard about it after I came back yesterday, but are there really ghosts in this world? Even if there is, Zilin didn't provoke him, what did he do when he killed me Zilin? ”
Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "Okay, when can Zilin be taken away, I will find someone to inform you." ”
Watching Zhuge Xin swaying out, Wang Yi said, "Master, do you think this elephant doesn't look like he is acting?" ”
"I don't know, it's acting or not, only the truth is revealed
, we can be clear. ”
Murong Xue said: "I remembered the last time I caught a ghost in Miao Zhe's house, it wasn't pretended to be a person, what kind of ghost is there in this world." ”
—
Meng Tianchu said: "This time is different from last time, last time the ghost blatantly opened the door and the window was also open, and this time in a room where outsiders can't enter at all, if it's a person, unless he can be invisible, or a spell that will go to the sky and the earth, or he can't go inside and kill people without moving the doors and windows and go out." ”
Murong Xue said, "Could it be that the Zilin girl strangled herself?" ”
Meng Tianchu shook his head and said: "Silly girl, you have been with me for so long, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for people to strangle themselves, because out of instinct, even if she wants to strangle herself, at most she will faint, and after she faints, her hand will naturally loosen." ”
Murong Xue said: "You also said that it is a normal situation, so what if there is a special situation?" ”
Meng Tianchu said: "Then tell me, what is a special situation?" ”
"For example, there is another person who helps her?"
"Who?"
"Ghost!"
Meng Tianchu was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Then it wasn't strangled by himself, but strangled after being possessed by a ghost." - However, there are no ghosts in this world, so let's go to a haunted house myself, there are ghosts catching ghosts, and there are thieves catching thieves! ”
As soon as they heard about catching ghosts, everyone looked at each other and stopped making a sound.
The ancients almost all believed in ghosts and gods, so few people dared to face the ghosts and ghosts.
Meng Tianchu saw that everyone was silent, and smiled and gave them the steps: "I'll go to the haunted house to catch ghosts, if there are too many ghosts, they won't come out, so I'll go alone." ”
Wang Yi and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Zhu Hao is a master of martial arts, he is surprisingly afraid of ghosts that have disappeared without a trace, but he is Meng Tianchu's personal guardian, and he has no way to avoid it, so he can only stubbornly say: "I... I'll accompany you, young master..."
"You're going? Hehe, I remember you saying that you really saw ghosts when you were young, and the first time you peed your pants in your life, probably that time, right? Hehe, besides, I'm not going to fight, and you, a martial arts master, can't catch ghosts, so you're afraid of being like this, what are you going to do? I know catching ghosts is not your forte, it's rare to take a break, don't go with me,"
Zhu Hao was embarrassed by Meng Tianchu's words, in fact, he was really a little afraid, the so-called once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and when he saw Meng Tianchu say this, he no longer insisted, thinking that with Meng Tianchu's kung fu, even if he was a little thief, he was not Meng Tianchu's opponent.
Murong Xue said: "Uncle Zhu can not go, but I have to go, what if the murderer is caught?" I still have to make a record, and I will be found temporarily, so far away, I may not be able to catch up. ”
Meng Tianchu smiled bitterly: "Zhenxue, don't make trouble here, Zhu Hao won't go, what are you going to do?" ”
Meng Tianchu didn't believe that there were ghosts, the murderer must be a human, so he was worried about the fight, and he couldn't care about the powerless Xue Xue.
Wang Yi also said: "Then why don't I go, what if you are upstairs and the ghost is downstairs?" ”
Meng Tianchu pretended to be very painful and said, "Please, Meng Tianchu is not going on a date, but catching ghosts, what are you doing to make a scene?" ”
Murong Yuxue pursed her lips and said, "If you really go on a date, there are really a lot of talents among us." ”
Meng Tianchu said: "Not much, at least you are not much, because it is you who make an appointment." ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Murong Yuxue lowered her head in shame.
It's probably a beautiful day, and it's rare that it hasn't rained at dusk.
Meng Tianchu had dinner at home, and he was afraid that the three of them would be worried, so he said that there was something wrong with the yamen and he would not go home at night, anyway, everyone knew that there was a case, and they didn't care about him, they just prepared some dry food and clothes for him, afraid that he would be hungry and cold when he stayed up late at night, so he brought his things and drove his own carriage, and he rushed out of the city.
When I arrived at Sunset Village, it was already dark, and it had already begun to thunder, so I thought it wouldn't rain tonight, but it seemed that God couldn't boast about it.
When he was about to get to the haunted house, he jumped into the carriage, in front of the house because there was a bamboo forest, which affected his vision, he was not familiar with the road, so he had to lead the carriage away, suddenly, his scalp was numb, his feet were weak,—— at the door of the house, there was a woman standing there, wearing a white dress. The ghosts he'd seen on TV before were like that, with long hair and a long white dress, and he seemed to be able to see the woman smiling weirdly at him.
