I felt ashamed. Half an hour ago, I was still rashly suspecting that Master Zhou was an internal ghost, secretly speculating about his personality, and thinking of him so insidiously and narrow-mindedly. But it turns out that he has indeed been trying his best to investigate this incident, and is even willing to risk his life, but in the end he ends up dead!

"Alas! It's all my fault! Master sighed, "I underestimated the strength of the ghost cultivator, thinking that he just knew how to raise some imps who were not in the stream, but I didn't expect him to be able to drive even such a domineering sun devouring ghost!" I hurt Master Zhou! ”

"Shall we call the police?" I asked, crying.

The way things have turned out is completely beyond our capabilities. Now the problem of Kang'an Fang is no longer a simple "haunted incident", but a vicious homicide case!

The master sighed again and said, "This is also inevitable. It is estimated that the two of us will not be able to get out of each other, so be mentally prepared to squat in the class room again! ”

Perhaps in order to verify the authenticity of Master's words, a shrill siren suddenly sounded outside the alley!

Master and I both quickly stood up, not daring to touch Master Zhou's body again. Then, several police officers rushed in with guns. They shouted, commanding us to raise our hands and get on our knees. Then, Master and I were pressed to the floor by the police, and our hands were twisted behind our backs, and all our belongings were searched and seized. In the end, we were taken to the police car and pulled directly to the county public security bureau.

This time, because it was a homicide, the police were not as polite as last time. They try us in the same way that they try murderers who have committed the most heinous crimes. Because I had reached the age of eighteen, I was directly handcuffed and ankyotted this time, chained to an interrogation chair, and interrogated over and over again.

I don't have much to say though. The experience of being locked up last time taught me: don't talk too much! Don't resist! Say what you need to say! Don't talk nonsense if you shouldn't say it!

The police officer who was in charge of the trial asked me very seriously, "What are you doing at Kang'an Fang?" ”

I replied, "Yes, I did it." ”

Ask: "What do you do?" ”

Answer: "Exorcism." ”

Ask: "What evil spirits are you going to drive away?" ”

Answer: "Ghost! ”

Both officers in the room laughed, as if they had heard a particularly nonsensical joke.

"Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?" The presiding officer asked me. He also gestured to his partner in charge of the record, which meant that the question did not need to be recorded in the record.

I smiled helplessly: "It's not a question of whether I believe it or not, ghosts are things that do exist in this world!" ”

"Can you see ghosts, then? Or can you touch it? How can you be so sure they exist? He asked again.

I nodded affirmatively and said, "I can indeed see them and talk to them, because I was born with yin and yang eyes." ”

"Oh!" The presiding officer was also interested, and asked with a smile, "Then what do they look like?" ”

I described it truthfully: "Ordinary ghosts are like people, that is, their faces are a little paler, their bodies are a little blurred, and they look a bit like phantoms. ”

"And how do they talk to you?"

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Just like a human being, with your mouth!" ”

"And what do they eat? What to drink? ”

I pursed my lips and said, "Most of the ghosts eat and drink the same as what we usually eat and drink, only a few ghosts have a unique taste and like to eat messy things." But they don't eat, drink, or starve. ”

"Because they've already died once, haven't they?" The officer asked with a narrow smile.

"That's what it means." I answer questions honestly.

"Have you watched too many ghost movies?" He suddenly lost his smile and looked at me very seriously, "Or have you read too many tomb robbery novels?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't look at those things very much. ”

What I'm saying is true. When you can directly deal with real ghosts every day, you will feel that those ghost movies and novels are very boring! This is like the two police officers opposite, and those who don't know about it will find them curious and mysterious about how they interrogate the prisoner. But they themselves are probably tired of it for a long time, and they think it's a particularly boring thing!

"Once again, I warn you in all seriousness!" The presiding officer's eyes widened, and his voice raised an octave, "You're here, don't think about messing around with nonsense!" You hurry up and explain the problem honestly! ”

I smiled wryly and shook my head. Am I not honest? It's you yourself who don't want to believe that it's good or not!

At this moment, the door to the interrogation room opened, and another police officer, again a female police officer, entered. When I saw it, it was an acquaintance, and it was the aunt instructor who arrested us last time.

She looked at me, but didn't speak. She went over and looked at the transcript again, then asked the presiding officer, "Is that what he answered?" ”

The presiding officer said yes, and said that I was "this kid is full of nonsense, especially dishonest"!

The aunt instructor was noncommittal, and said to the presiding police officer: "There is no need to ask this question of whether it is a ghost or not, and directly ask him about the cause and effect of the case and the details of the incident." No matter what he answers, just remember it! ”

The two police officers who were in charge of interrogating me agreed. Auntie Instructor walked up to me again and said to me mysteriously, "You got away with it last time, but this time it may not be so lucky!" ”

I hurriedly said, "We didn't kill people!" You also have to find out carefully, and don't wronged good people! ”

"Whether you killed it or not, there is no conclusion yet!" She pointed to my nose and said, "But the results of the preliminary investigation show that you and your master have been in contact with the body of the deceased, and there are also a lot of fingerprints and shoe prints of both of you at the scene!" Other than that, there is no third person! ”

I was stunned. What she said should also be the real situation, it is impossible for the Sun Devourer to leave any fingerprints and footprints. But how can we prove our innocence? I suddenly panicked, it seems that this matter is a little unclear! If you are charged with intentional homicide for no reason, it will really be eight lifetimes of blood mold!

The aunt instructor successfully applied the pressure, and then turned around and went out. The two interrogating officers began to interrogate me again. The rest of the questions are substantial, and my answers are not as controversial as they were just now.

My statement is basically true: Master and I were invited by Master Zhou to go to Kang'an Fang to do things, and the master entrusted us to go, as long as they checked it, they knew that I was not lying. But tonight's ritual didn't go well, because there were so many onlookers that it interfered with us, so we had to leave. Later, Master Zhou went to Gu's house alone, and then when we went over, we found that Master Zhou was dead.

They asked questions directly, and I tried to be as concise as possible. Since they don't believe in ghosts, and the aunt instructor also said don't remember ghosts, then there is no need for me to be bored. Therefore, I hid the process of catching the wasted ghost and the discovery of the ghost keeper.

After the matter was asked, the presiding officer finally asked, "Are there any conflicts or holidays between you and the deceased?" ”

"Nope!"

"Is there any competition?"

"A little bit......" I hesitated, then added, "But we can still cooperate, this time in a cooperative relationship." ”

"And how will your remuneration be distributed?" The presiding police officer asked again, "You said that he went to the Gu family alone, so if he finishes the Dharma first, will the remuneration all belong to him, and you and your master will not be paid?" ”

I don't know how to answer this question. And I feel like there's a trap in this question, and I can't answer it randomly.

"No, it won't. Master Zhou wouldn't be such a selfish person, he was a good person! Whining! That's all I can say. But as soon as I said this, I suddenly felt my nose sore. I'm still very ashamed of my misunderstanding and slander against Master Zhou before, and I blamed a good person! Then I thought about my current situation, and my emotions suddenly spiraled out of control!

At first, I just choked and wiped my tears, then I couldn't help but cry, and eventually it turned into a cry. It was useless for the two police officers to persuade and scold, so in the end they had to urge me to sign my name quickly, and then hastily ended this first interrogation.

After that, I was dragged out by them and interrogated several times. But they asked and asked those questions, and I answered and answered those questions. Then I was sent to the detention center.

In the detention center, I was locked up with thieves, robbers, and rapists. Fortunately, now the detention center is also strictly controlled, and no one will beat me. On the contrary, as soon as they heard that I was imprisoned on suspicion of intentional homicide, they all gave a thumbs up and said, "Sure enough, the hero is a teenager, or you are ruthless enough!" ”

I couldn't laugh or cry.

I spent seven days in the detention center before I was released. At the same time, my master was also released. I asked the police officer who came to handle the formalities for our release why he suddenly let us go.

They said: "The forensic examination of the deceased has come out, it is a sudden death!" And there were no obvious external injuries. In addition, the security director of Kang'an Fang also confirmed that the deceased was indeed alone and went to Gu's house first, and the other residents also confirmed that you were the master they invited to do the work. Since there is no evidence that he killed him, then this case is dropped, and you are not suspects! ”

When I got out of the detention center, I asked Master what should we do?

Master said, "Are you willing to let Master Zhou die in vain like this?" ”

I said, "I must not be reconciled!" That ghost keeper not only killed Master Zhou, but also caused us to be burdened with such a cauldron for some reason, and I can't wait to find him out right now and kill him! ”

The master said: "Then we will continue to investigate this matter, and we must find out about it!" ”

I nodded and said loudly, "Good! ”

"But," Master said to me with an apologetic expression, "but we'll have to solve your own problems first." ”

"What's wrong with me?" I asked.

Actually, my problem is bigger!

I didn't go home for seven days, I didn't go to school, I was arrested by the police and put in the detention center, and I was even charged with intentional homicide at one point. My master is a bachelor, and he doesn't need to explain to anyone where he's gone, but I can't!

That's when I realized the seriousness of the problem. Master then took me back to my house and explained the situation to my parents in person. My mom and dad were very worried and very angry! Last time, I was arrested once because I followed Master to the ghost market, and this time I actually made a personal murder!

My Master sincerely apologized and hoped to receive their understanding. But my parents were very emotional and made it clear that they would not agree to let me go out with Master again! In their opinion, I am now in the stage of getting lost, actively going to school, studying hard, and finding a good girlfriend. They don't want me to go back to the way I used to be!

I feel sorry for Master, it is not his fault that this kind of thing happened, and he does not deserve this kind of blame. But Master stopped me from defending myself and told me not to talk back to my parents. He received a scolding and left my house in disgrace.

My parents can have my master explain and accept it on their behalf, and the school can only do it on my own. Among them, especially Han Jie, I don't know how to face it. She has given so much for me and worried so much, and it can even be said that she changed the trajectory of my life with love and not giving up!

To my surprise, Han Jie didn't quarrel with me or mess with me, but listened to my explanation very calmly. She didn't even bother to ask sensitive questions that I couldn't answer.

Han Jie bit her lip and finally asked me, "Do you think what you are doing is the right thing?" ”

"I don't think we've done anything wrong!" "I know a lot of people don't understand what we're in, but I'm pretty sure we're doing the right thing!" ”

"Are you going to continue to investigate this?" Han Jie asked again.

I nodded and said, "Yes!" This is also Master Zhou's wish, we must do it for him! ”

Han Jie said: "Then you can go!" If this is not over, you will not have the heart to go back to studying. You don't have to ask me for leave, you can come back to me when the matter is done! ”

I was so moved, I didn't expect Han Jie to trust me so much and support me so much! I reached out to hug her into my arms and show my gratitude!

But Han Jie pushed me away and said coldly: "Don't come with me like this, my anger hasn't disappeared yet!" In the future, you can slowly prove everything with your performance! ”

I was stunned. How could this woman's mind be so complicated?
