"What did you say?" Sergeant Li immediately frowned and said sharply, "What kind of place are you here?" He slapped the pen on the table, tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "I'll handcuff you there...... Did you tell me the story? ”

"What? Officer, are you in a hurry to get off work? Feng Bujue said, "Anyway, after making a record for me, we have to go to the hospital to check (whether we carry infectious diseases and whether we have a history of drug abuse), and only when the results come out can we send them to the detention center...... It's going back and forth, and you can't go back until dawn. He looked up at the ceiling, "Huh...... I think you have plenty of time. ”

"I'll just say that you kid is always eating and doing ......," Sergeant Li glared at Brother Jue and said, "You are more familiar with our case-handling process than a few novices I have brought!" ”

"I repeat it......" Feng Bujue replied calmly, "I ...... So far, there is no criminal record. ”

Sheriff Li didn't eat dry food, and when he heard this for the second time, he heard something: "Hehe...... In other words......" he paused for half a second, "you may not have 'sinned', right?" He sneered, "Furthermore...... Just because you don't have a criminal record doesn't mean you haven't been in the bureau, right? He subconsciously looked left and right, "I'll just say it...... You kid opened his mouth and asked me if I was new? Co-authoring, you're not looking at the siren, you're looking at the face, right? ”

"That's not ......," Feng Bujue shook his head and said, "The personnel transfers of your bureau are still relatively frequent, and I haven't been invited as a guest for a while recently, so not every face can be recognized...... For example, the old Zhang in the concierge has recently changed to a new apprentice......"

Smack-

Sergeant Li slapped the table and stood up, grabbed Feng Bujue's collar and said, "I advise you to find out the current situation!" ”

"I'm well aware of the 'now' situation." Feng Bujue was also calm when he was grabbed by the collar, "That's why I have no fear~" He tilted his head and looked at the camera probe in the corner of the ceiling, "As far as I know, after 2030, the composition of police personnel in S City has been basically stereotyped as 90 police academy graduates, plus 9 personnel from the army and other government agencies." There are less than 1 of the special recruits from the society...... Compared with the more complex personnel structure of the past, the overall quality of the police force is much improved, and the discipline and norms are ...... It's also very reassuring. As for the phenomenon of beating and scolding prisoners at will, and even beating them up for the sake of making friends, 'now' it sounds like a fantasy story. ”

When Brother Jue said this, Sheriff Li had already let go of his hand, but he still looked at him indignantly.

"Heh......" Feng Bujue smiled, "I know, it is becoming more and more difficult for you to enforce the law now, even if you really encounter scoundrels, you can't do it; In big cases, evidence must also be discussed, otherwise the person must be released according to the principle of presumption of innocence. He shrugged, "Indeed...... Some social scum is under-beaten, and the 'public court system' has disadvantages and advantages, but it is more helpless to discuss this topic in depth...... Let's face the reality and sit down and talk calmly. ”

When Brother Jue spoke, Sheriff Li looked into his eyes, but he couldn't catch the slightest cowardice in them. The sheriff understands...... Even if he is a habitual offender who often enters the game, under the arrogance on the surface, he is also "empty" in his heart. And Brother Jue's eyes at the moment generally represent two situations - first, he did not commit a crime; Second, he believes that he will never be punished by law.

In the former case, it is shown that the seal is innocent; And in the latter case...... It shows that he has a certain "background". Of course, there is another possibility...... This man is a deranged madman.

"Whew......" Sergeant Lee sat down again, lit a cigarette for himself, and after exhaling, he continued, "Say it...... I'll listen to your story. ”

Instead of lifting a pen, he picked up a cigarette. Obviously, when the words "female ghost" came out, there was no need for him to make any more written records. But since the person insisted on telling such a story based on supernatural theory, it didn't hurt him to listen to it.

"Officer, what do you call it?" Feng didn't notice that the other party was sitting down, so he asked with a smile.

"The surname is Li." Sergeant Lee replied.

"Officer Lee." Feng Bujue took the opportunity to continue, "Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" ”

"I believe what I've seen with my own eyes." Sheriff Lee's answer was shrewd.

"Huh...... All right. Feng Bujue smiled indifferently, "Actually...... Most of the ghosts that wander the world are nothing to fear. Ordinary people can't see them, and they can't do much to interfere with our world. The vast majority of them can't even sustain their own existence...... During the day, they are in a state of disembodiment, unconsciousness. The time when they can transform into 'visible ghosts' is from midnight to 3 a.m. every day. And even during this time, their spirits are 'bound' to a certain area...... For example, the cemetery where you die, where you lost your life, or where you used to go before you die...... In short, it's impossible for ghosts to run around the world and harm people. ”

"It's a novelist, and it's quite like that." Sergeant Lee replied noncommittally. When he filled in the information, he already knew Brother Jue's occupation, so he had this answer.

Feng Bujue ignored Sheriff Li's sarcasm and continued: "And the one I met today is not the same as an ordinary ghost......

"Huh...... Is it? Sergeant Lee took another puff on his cigarette, "Can you see it?" ”

Feng Bujue's attitude was still very calm, and he continued to talk to himself: "Those ghosts who are stranded in the world and can't leave are generally unfulfilled wishes. And 'unfulfilled wishes' are roughly divided into two situations...... One is that there is still attachment to certain people or things before death, and the other is ...... It's just that there is hatred or resentment that hasn't gone away......" he paused for a second, and then added, "There are many reasons for resentment, such as...... The person who killed the demon did not receive the punishment he deserved, or the wicked person who had bullied the demon did not receive any retribution, and so on. I'm sure you've read horror novels or horror movies, so I won't list the specific plots. ”

"I've read a lot of mystery novels, how about you talk about the case?" Sergeant Lee replied.

Feng Bujue still ignored his interference, and continued: "The chance of a woman turning into a ghost is higher than that of a man. Because they are more emotional, many things are not easy to let go. His tone changed slightly, "If there is a woman who dies in the middle of the Yin Dynasty, and she wears a red dress that is easy to provoke resentment, what will become of her...... Needless to say, you should have guessed. ”

"Uh-" Sergeant Lee puffed out his cigarette, "that's what you met today?" ”

"Yesterday, to be exact." Feng Bujue corrected, "It's past midnight now." ”

"You go on." Sergeant Lee casually flicked the cigarette ash on the ground next to him.

"According to the Tibetan Sutra of the Dead, a person's soul will return to visit him on the seventh day after his death......," Feng Bujue continued, "On this night, whether it is a fierce ghost or a lonely ghost, it will have considerable mana......

"Wait...... Why? It may be the effect of nicotine, and Sheriff Li seems to be gradually attracted by Brother Jue's topic and is interested.

"Because there are a lot of people who believe in the 'first seven' saying, especially us Chinese...... Whether they admit it on the surface or not, but in the bottom of their hearts, most people have a faint illusion about these superstitious things. Feng Bujue replied, "You must know that ...... act of 'believing' is itself a kind of 'power'. The ontology of many 'urban legends' is just some magical spirits. But the story has spread widely and there are more people who believe it...... They are getting stronger and stronger. This is called 'the power of faith'...... Theoretically, 'God' is the ultimate embodiment of this power. ”

"Hmph......" Sergeant Li scoffed at this, "I still believe in Marxism, why haven't I seen the old horse turn into a monster and come out to eat people?" ”

"Are you sure?" Feng Bujue showed a weird smile.

Sergeant Lee's expression changed.

"Perhaps, many years ago, 'it' had become something tangible, and there was more than one...... It has survived to this day, devouring countless lives. Moreover, its rejection of other 'beliefs' has also been expressed in a very extreme form...... "Feng Bu consciously continues to take the Tao."

"Enough!" Sergeant Lee interrupted him, "Rumors confuse the public. ”

"There is no 'crowd' here, just you, and you yourself came up with this example." Feng Bujue said, "You have to think I'm talking nonsense, just when I fart." He didn't wait for Sergeant Li to say anything more, and took the initiative to return to the previous topic, "Anyway...... What I met today is a female ghost in red who came back to take revenge on the night of her 'first seven'...... According to her own account, it was in that market that she was killed. ”

"Heh......" Sergeant Lee laughed, "'According to her own words'? He repeated Brother Jue's words, "Can you still talk to ghosts?" ”

"Absolutely." Feng Bujue replied, "I'm very sure of this. ”

"Tell me about it...... What did she tell you? Sergeant Lee asked again.

"Actually, I didn't say much, but I guess I just said...... The owner of the antique shop, the 'injured person' in this case, was so angry that he deliberately drove her to death because he was denied a pursuit of her before his death. But afterwards, the boss had some relationship, and it was directly determined to be an accident, and he came out of the bureau in only two days. Estimate...... In the end, the maximum sentence is a suspended sentence, and there is no need to go to jail at all. She had no choice but to do it herself on the first seven days......" Feng Bujue replied, "As for the details, I really can't ask...... Ordinary Earthbound spirits are still relatively sane, and some don't even know that they are ghosts. The ghost is different...... Although they knew exactly what they were, they were in a trance, and most of them were difficult to communicate with, and they were very aggressive," he said, looking helpless, "and I had to fight to subdue the female ghost before she said it in a vague way." ”

"Shenma?" Hearing this, Sheriff Li became more and more sure that the kid in front of him was nervous/mentally ill, "You are still fighting with female ghosts?" ”

"Yes." Feng Bujue replied casually, and gave a relevant explanation, "What about this kind of ghost...... It is capable of creating a 'ghost realm', and entering a ghost realm for a human whose spiritual consciousness has not yet awakened is like walking into the snow with only pants on...... They can become vulnerable, both physically and mentally. Most of them were scared to death by hallucinations, and there were also those who were killed by 'hallucination attacks'. Anyway, if the brain thinks it's dead, it's dead. He pointed to himself with his thumb, "And people like me who have awakened their spiritual consciousness are different, and my mental endurance when facing hallucinations will not be reduced by ghosts, and I can come into contact with ghosts." He shrugged, "A female ghost like that, even if there are three or four of them, I can't do it." ”

"ho~" Sheriff Li really couldn't cry or laugh, "I can't see it......" He looked Brother Jue up and down again, "You are not only a novelist, but also a master of catching ghosts." ”

"You think I'm mentally ill, don't you?" Feng Bujue looked at the other party's reaction, and then asked.

"I think? Hmph......" Sergeant Li snorted coldly, "I think...... Here's the thing......" he paused and recounted, "you are a novelist who is not very famous or rich, and because of financial constraints, you have taken up the idea of burglarizing an antique shop. So, at 11:30 last night, you ran to the door of the flower and bird market, looked around the street for a while, and then climbed over the wall to climb in while the security guard at the concierge was not looking......"

"Wait." "If I plan to burglary at night...... What about the tools of the crime? He lifted his handcuffed hands, "Am I going to tear open the shutter door with my bare hands?" ”

Faced with the doubts raised by Feng Bujue, Sergeant Li replied fluently: "Judging from the surveillance video, you really didn't bring the tools to commit the crime." You can't hide the big pincers or anything...... he said, "but...... Since it was a planned crime, is it possible...... Did you 'hide your tools somewhere in the market during the day'? ”

"Hmm...... Good assumptions. Feng Bujue felt that the other party's reasoning was very logical, and he couldn't refute it for the time being.

"It's not your turn as a suspect to comment." Sergeant Li replied angrily, and continued to reason, "After you entered the flower and bird market, you went straight to the location of the antique shop, and when you tried to break in, you didn't expect it...... The owner of the shop happened to be driving out of the alley next door......"

"The flower and bird market usually closes around 6 p.m., and even in the summer it never exceeds 7 p.m." Feng Bujue interrupted again, "At this point close to midnight, how could the boss just drive home?" ”

"Mid-month inventory." Sergeant Li continued almost without thinking, it seemed that he had already guessed what kind of question Brother Jue would ask to refute himself, "The main product of that antique shop is not antique calligraphy and paintings, but jade and other things. There are many jade stones and miscellaneous varieties...... Compared with large antiques, it is naturally easier to lose and be stolen. It's not surprising to count two or three times a month, and it must be done carefully, which takes a long time. ”

"Uh......" Brother Jue suddenly found that the other party's reasoning was really difficult without loopholes, "What are you a professional...... Logically explainable......"

"You were caught by your boss, and when you panicked, you used it as a crime tool and beat him half to death." Sheriff Lee's words continued, "But after you regained your senses, you regretted it...... Murder is to pay for one's life, and killing in the case of an attempted crime is more severe. You're a smart guy...... After weighing the pros and cons, you decide to call the police and call an ambulance. While the person still has a breath, coupled with the plot of surrender, maybe he and you can still be saved. ”

"Suppose you're right......" After listening to the other party's reasoning, Feng Bujue was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Then why did I tell you those ghost stories and the like?" ”

"yes...... Uh-" Sheriff Lee took another puff of his cigarette, "that's it...... Logically, it's hard to find an answer. All I can think of is...... Maybe you have schizophrenia or some other mental illness. After being stimulated, your second personality emerges, and this personality is convinced of what you call a 'ghost theory'. ”

"Huh...... It seems to make sense. Feng Bujue still smiled very easily.

"I've seen some examples of mental problems in the writer's industry, and I can't rule out the possibility." Sergeant Li said this, cleared his throat, "Okay, let's get down to business......" He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, "If you are really a smart person, I will give you two choices......" He raised his index finger, "First, let your 'other personality' come out and explain the problem honestly." If the last injured person is not dead, considering the circumstances of voluntary surrender, as long as you hire a better lawyer to defend you...... The sentencing will not be very severe. Even if he is dead, he can be defended around 'manslaughter'. He raised his middle finger again, "Second, whether you are crazy or not, you will act as 'crazy', as long as the result of the psychiatric evaluation is sick, you don't have to go to jail...... At least not to go to jail with the average person. ”

"Hmm......" Feng Bujue nodded, "Not bad......" He looked up at Sheriff Li, "Li Zhiyuan, you are very good." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhiyuan's expression changed sharply: "How do you know my name?" ”

He clearly remembered that he only said that his surname was Li, but did not give his full name.

"You're a talent, you could have had a chance to be a good cop." Feng Bujue took off the handcuffs from his hands as he spoke.

Li Zhiyuan was shocked to find that the handcuffs on Feng Bujui's hands had turned into rusty and shaped like scrap iron.

"It's a pity...... Brother Jue said, standing up, "...... You're taking the wrong step. ”

"What do you want to do?" Li Zhiyuan also stood up from his chair suddenly, although he didn't have a gun on him at the moment, but in terms of hand-to-hand combat, he was definitely confident that he would win against ordinary people.

Brother Jue ignored his question, and continued his previous words: "And this step ...... Directly cut off your life. ”

"You said ......" At this moment, Li Zhiyuan's pupils contracted, and his whole body was cold, "...... What ......"

…………

"Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

"You can't go back until dawn."

"I'm well aware of the situation."

"Can you still talk to ghosts?"

"Absolutely, I'm pretty sure of that."

"Ordinary earthbound spirits are still relatively sane, and some don't even know that they are ghosts."

…………

"You seem to have forgotten about that woman's case." Feng Bujue slowly paced around the other party, and the laziness and casualness in his expression had changed to calm and awe-inspiring, "But you are subconscious...... Still on the side of the 'shopkeeper'. ”

"Who are you?" Li Zhiyuan unconsciously retreated to the wall, "What are you talking about?" ”

"I'm not aware of it, haven't you asked?" Feng Bujue replied, "What am I talking about...... Naturally, it was the last case you handled before you died. ”R1152
