After beating Xiao Jiuhe again, my life returned to its original rhythm. In addition to working in a cake shop, helping to cook in Yuanbao Building, I wanted to be with Han Jie when I returned to the rented cottage. She now comes to stay with me most of the nights, and only occasionally goes back to sleep in the dorm when she is busy with her studies.

But the mustache is coming for me again. He said that he thought it was the best fit for me to be a partner, so he asked me if I would like to get an extra part-time job and continue to work with him on tasks. And he promised to increase my prize share: four or six cents!

Now that I've been relieved of my past suspicions with the mustache, I've seriously considered his invitation. To be honest, I myself like to go out and hunt ghosts, not only to make money, but also to have some new experiences and occasionally add a little excitement to a peaceful life. So, I agreed.

But in order not to affect the current two official jobs, I only promised to do two tasks a month on the mustache side, and tried not to let me take leave, nor did I leave the provincial capital to go on a business trip. These requirements are indicated by the mustache that there is no problem. As for my bottom line of principle, after the two of them talked openly and honestly, they also reached an agreement: all the ghosts that don't harm people will be dealt with by me; Ghosts that have harmed people's lives and have lost their minds, or man-made ghosts like the Sun Eater, can be directly eliminated by the mustache! The ghost in between the two is decided by two people after discussion.

After negotiating the conditions, the "ghost-hunting duo" and I began to take on the task again. The tasks released by the hosta door are also strange, and there are all kinds of commissions. Some of them are indeed ghost-related incidents, some are just misunderstandings, and some are completely serious criminal cases, which are just some people trying to cover up people's eyes. And in the investigation of these bizarre incidents, Mustache and I also had some cooperation with the police.

For example, there was a time when the money put in the homes of several families in a community disappeared for some reason. After they called the police, the police went to the scene many times to investigate, but they never found any suspicious clues, but the more they investigated, the more they felt that things were very strange. So, an old detective who was familiar with the mustache asked us for help through personal connections.

After I went to see it with Mustache, we quickly ruled out the possibility of ghosts, because the stolen homes were normal, and nothing dirty was found in the community. The advice we give should also be the work of ordinary thieves burglary.

However, if it is said that the thief stole it, the case is indeed very puzzling. The families that were stolen lived on the upper floors, and all of them were equipped with anti-theft nets, and the doors and windows were locked, so it was impossible for a thief to enter the room and steal anything. Moreover, this "thief" only steals cash, and never steals valuables such as mobile phones, watches, gold and silver jewelry, etc., which is completely illogical.

Since we promised to help, it is not interesting for us to go back after just coming to see it once. So, Mustache and I kept vigil with the police at the police station. There were too few surveillance cameras in the community, so we stared at one building by one. But how can so many families keep an eye on it?

So, I played a clever trick and threw a paper frog on the roof of the building I was guarding and used ghost possession to replace the surveillance. As a result, the little paper frog played a key role in detecting a dark shadow moving on the roof of a building opposite. I quickly reported it to the mustache and the old detective who led the team. Finally, I caught the snitch in a house on the top floor!

It turns out that the snitch is really good at "flying the eaves and walking the wall"! He was born in acrobatics since he was a child, and he specialized in high-altitude tightrope walking in the acrobatic troupe. Later, the acrobatic troupe could not survive and disbanded, and he lost his job. It's a pity that he has nowhere to perform his stunts, so he has a crooked brain, wanting to rely on this unique job to be a thief and steal things to make quick money.

His modus operandi is also very simple. Every night, he first dodged the cameras in the community, sneaked over the wall into the building, and then went up the stairs to the roof. Then, he hung a rope from the roof of the building, climbed to the security net of the high-rise resident, and twisted the iron bar of the security net into a curved shape with a homemade tool. He was relatively small, and he could sneak into the house and steal the owner's cash through the gap he had created. The most amazing thing is that before he leaves, he will twist the twisted iron bar back and return to its original state!

His homemade tools were made of strips of cloth and sticks. Wrap the iron bar with a strip of cloth first, and then insert a wooden stick into the middle of the strip of cloth and twist it vigorously, you can twist the iron bar without even hurting the paint on the iron bar. As a result, the head of the household woke up the next day to find that the money had been lost, but he could not find out where the thief had entered the house.

When the police caught the snitch, they asked him why he only stole cash and nothing else.

He confessed: "I'm not a professional thief, and I don't know how to sell stolen goods. If I steal mobile phones, watches, gold and silver jewelry, I am afraid that when I sell them, I will be found to be stolen and I will be arrested. So, I only steal cash and nothing else. ”

Of course, we will not receive remuneration for this kind of friendship cameo help, what we gain is the understanding and trust of the police for us, and we have a friendship with each other. As the mustache said, "We're a partnership." In the future, when we need their help, they will do their best. Let's help each other! ”

In addition to the police coming to us to help solve the case, occasionally we also take the initiative to provide clues. For example, in another case, a man asked us to investigate the cause of his wife's death. His wife drowned while swimming in a lake at night, and two people had been drowned while swimming before, so he wondered if there would be drowning ghosts in the lake?

This matter was still hyped up at that time, making people panic, and the lake that often had accidents became a ghost lake in everyone's minds! The official came out to refute the rumors several times, but it didn't work, because there was not much real basis for the official explanation. However, in the end, the puzzle was solved by me and the mustache!

Mustache and I went to the scene of the incident at night to investigate, and it turned out that we found a ghost nearby. But this ghost is not a drowning ghost, but an ordinary tomb ghost, and his tomb is by the lake, but the grave has been bulldozed and cannot be seen from the ground.

The ghost was an old ghost who had died at the end of the Qing Dynasty, with a braid dragging behind his head. The pigtail ghost has a very light resentment, and every night he sits by the lake and watches the moon, occasionally catching a small bug to play. I don't think it's possible for such a ghost to harm people, but the mustache refuses to let down his guard completely, saying that he must bring the pigtailed ghost back and try it with secret techniques. I said to the mustache that you should be calm and let me talk to him first.

I asked the pigtailed ghost, "Apart from you, are there any other ghosts in this lake, such as drowning ghosts or something?" ”

The pigtailed ghost snorted, "Hey! People are often drowned in this lake, but not because there are ghosts pulling people's feet, but because there are dark holes at the bottom of the lake! If a swimmer happens to swim to the top of the dark hole, he will be swept up by the undercurrent if he is not careful, and no matter how good the water is, he will not be able to escape! By the time they are exhausted and unable to swim, they will surely drown in it! ”

"Then you watch the moon by this lake every day, and a few days ago there was a woman swimming here who drowned, did you see it?"

"See! But she didn't drown while swimming! ”

"Oh? So how did you say she died? ”

"I could see clearly that night that it was the man who pushed the woman into the water and watched her drown!"

"Why is this happening?" Mustache and I were both taken aback and asked, "Did the two of them quarrel at the time?" ”

"Nope!" The pigtailed ghost shook his head and said, "I guess it's the man's pre-planned conspiracy, where does anyone bring his wife here to fish and swim at night?" ”

I listened to the pigtailed ghost's words, frowned and asked the mustache: "The situation he said, should we call the police to deal with it?" ”

The mustache shook his head in denial, and said, "Before you find conclusive evidence, it's useless to call the police!" We can't let a ghost go to court as a witness, can we? ”

"Speaking of evidence," the pigtailed ghost suddenly interjected at this time, "although I have been dead for some years, I still understand the 'mobile phone' thing that people use now. I saw the woman standing on the big rock over there before she fell into the water and taking a selfie. ”

"What about the phone?"

"Fell into the water!"

"Isn't that just a vain?" The mustache said angrily, "We have to get the phone, otherwise the police will believe us?" ”

The pigtailed ghost patted his chest at this time and said, "Then I'll do good deeds, and I can count as accumulating some yin virtue!" I'll go into the water and get my phone up, and you'll take care of the rest! ”

"If you can get your phone up, I'll have a way to call the police to solve the case!" The mustache also assured.

The pigtailed ghost didn't say a word, and jumped into the lake. Although he is not resentful, as long as he can find the phone and lift such a small object, he should still be able to do it.

Mustache and I waited by the lake for about an hour, and finally saw the pigtailed ghost emerge from the water, holding a soggy and soaked mobile phone. The mustache didn't dare to touch it, so he asked the pigtailed ghost to put his mobile phone on the shore and called an acquaintance from the criminal police team.

The criminal police team also attached great importance to it, dispatched a technical team to take pictures, extract fingerprints, and conduct on-site investigations, and took away this most critical evidence in accordance with the most standard process. After they went back, they restored the memory card in the mobile phone through technical means, and sure enough, they found that there was the last selfie of the woman before she died!

The criminal police team also sent a backup of the selfie to the mustache. In the photo, a woman in a bathing suit is smiling and posing to the camera, while behind her is a man's hideous face and a pair of vicious hands that are pushed over!

There is no doubt that the man was the husband of the deceased who entrusted us. Based on this photo, the criminal police team quickly solved the case. It is said that after the man was caught, in the face of the "death selfie", his psychological defense quickly collapsed, and he confessed his crime in one hundred and fifty ten.

It turned out that he already had a mistress outside, and he didn't have the courage to mention it if he wanted to divorce his wife. In addition, his wife bought a high amount of accident insurance, so he had evil thoughts and tried to kill his wife, and at the same time he could cheat the insurance!

When he inadvertently heard that people were often drowned in this lake, he thought of a poisonous plan, deliberately coaxing his wife to come to the lake at night to camp and fish, and wanted to trick his wife into going swimming. But at this time, it was already autumn, the weather was cold and the water was cold, and although his wife had changed into a swimsuit, she didn't want to go into the water. In a hurry, he directly pushed it into the water!

The woman's water nature is average, and there is an undercurrent under the water, so she can't save herself at all. watched from the shore and watched his wife sink to the bottom of the water before he took out his mobile phone and called the police, lying that someone was drowning.

It stands to reason that by this time, his plot had already succeeded. But he was a thief, thinking that the couple was at the scene at the time of the crime, and he was afraid that the police would investigate him, so he wanted to act out a "out of nothing" and put the blame on the rumors that "the drowning ghost is looking for a stand-in".

But he did a lot of calculations, but he missed one. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods, thinking that they were all deceitful things, and even if he invited us here, he thought that he was just just looking for two deceitful gods to come over and make a show. It's a pity that Ha, me and the mustache are real!

As a result, our client, who thought he was clever enough to hide from the world, ended up being self-defeating and sent himself to the class room! This is called: "Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky!" ”

Although Mustache and I inadvertently solved a few "strange cases" and made a lot of money, he could only be regarded as a part-time job. My main direction of development is still in the Yuanbao Building.

Ever since I started learning ghost meals with Jin Da Lao, I have been particularly attentive to cultivating Yin Gong. The more advanced the ghost meal, the more it needs to have strong yin power, and with my current cultivation, I can only barely fry the most basic ghost meal, and I can't cook alone. Jin Dasco didn't urge me to do this, telling me to practice more, but promised to let me be his second chef when I could fully master the skills of beginner ghost cooking!

So, with this tangible goal in mind, I began to practice Yin Gong hard. The place I rented was a good place to cultivate, with abundant yin qi and few people. When Han Jie was away, I practiced alone in my room. When Han Jie came over, I would sneak out of the courtyard in the middle of the night to practice, and I would have to complete my cultivation for three days every day before returning to my room to rest.

Finally, after nearly two and a half years of delay, my second Yin Gong cultivation reached the consummation level on a winter night at the end of the year! Next, I can go back to Master and ask him to teach me the Third Yin Gong!
