Chapter 131: Sculpture
Strange to say, at this time, only the sky above the backyard of the shroud shop was shrouded in dark clouds, and it was still sunny and daylight outside the backyard. The mother and daughter stood outside the tank wet at this time, and the previous anger on their bodies was gone, and the old man sat on the rocking chair in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, picked up the teacup and said lightly.
"Your mother and daughter are dead ghosts, and if you can't get over, you can't accept the bridge, the underworld, do you have any plans?"
The female ghost suddenly knelt down and said.
"I don't care what I do, I just ask you to reincarnate my daughter as a human being."
The old man said as he gently stirred the tea leaves hanging on the water with the lid of his cup.
"I'm sorry, I can't."
The female ghost stood up and took her daughter in her arms and sobbed quietly, and after a moment she said.
"In that case, then we will wander the world after taking revenge until the day when our souls are gone."
The old man sighed and said.
"The name of the cloud above your heads is Hidden Clouds, so that what I have just done will not be discovered by the heavens. The water in those two jars is called Soul Rejuvenation Water, and it can temporarily protect your soul from being eroded by Yin Qi. ”
The female ghost was startled, so she hurriedly hugged her daughter and immediately bowed down to the old man and said.
"Thank you for not killing."
"Alright, get up. You are also miserable people, so come to me when you have taken care of your own affairs. ”
The female ghost suddenly looked up at the old man and said.
"On the day of revenge, we will come back to plead with you."
"That's it, that's it."
The old man turned around and walked forward, and after a while, he came over with a dark red gourd the size of a palm, he handed the gourd to Fang Fan and said.
"Here's to you. This is a temporary place for the two of them. Remember not to see the three lights, daylight, moonlight, and starlight. It is also very important to feed them chicken blood every day at the middle hour, at midday, at noon, and at unitary time, so as to ensure that they do not harm people and animals. The gourd should be properly kept and never broken. ”
Fang Fan carefully took the gourd from the old man's hand and said.
"Thank you so much."
"Okay, let's be polite. Whether the mother and daughter are safe or not is up to you. ”
After that, the old man looked at Zhang Ze with a very strange look. Zhang Ze felt awkward, so he asked politely.
"Master, is there anything wrong with me?"
The old man glared at him and said.
"I'm not a master, I'm just a paper money seller. In addition, the things in your body need to be dormant for a while, and if you continue to consume it like this, the king of heaven will not be able to save it. ”
The old man turned to look at Fang Fan again and said.
"As for you, Ancient Demon, you're the one who is the most troublesome."
Fang Fan was stunned by what the old man said, thinking that this old man's ability was too great. He could actually see the green snake in Zhang Ze's body and the nightmare in his body, he asked.
"I don't understand, can you please make it clear."
The old man waved his hand and said.
"I'll explain it to you then. But remember, when you feel that the bones of your whole body are itching, you must come to me. ”
Before Fang Fan could speak, Zhang Ze asked anxiously.
"Now that the nightmare in his body is locked up, will it still be dangerous?"
"Time bombs are always dangerous as long as they don't explode. Locking up the nightmare is just a temporary delaying tactic, it's all a little trick of those bastards. ”
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were shocked when they heard this, the old man actually called the Three Holy Relics a bastard, if it wasn't for Su Kang who influenced Yang Yue and changed his mind, Zhonghai City and even the whole world might be ruined by the power of the Three Holy Relics, could it be that this unattractive old man had a greater background? Fang Fan asked politely.
"I don't know what to call you, old man?"
The old man smiled faintly and said.
"It's just an old bone that is about to die, and after a long time, even I have forgotten what others called me back then. Alright, don't ask, take their mother and daughter with you. ”
Fang Fan didn't dare to ask anything more, he pulled the plug of the gourd, and the mother and daughter were swept into it by a whirlwind, and when the mother and daughter entered the gourd, the dark clouds above the backyard also dispersed. The old man said.
"Don't forget what I told you, young man, you must remember."
"Rest assured, we've all remembered."
"Well, go ahead."
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze bowed respectfully to the old man and came to the store from the backyard, where the child was sitting in the corner of the wall. Fang Fan inadvertently looked a little fascinated, especially when the child painted the eyes of the paper men and paper horses, as if those paper men and paper horses were alive, Fang Fan asked.
"Kid, have you been doing this here?"
The child glared back at him, then went about his work. Just as they were about to leave, the child suddenly spoke.
"You have to call me uncle, and you dare to call me a child."
Hearing this, Fang Fan immediately stopped and looked at the child's back again, and then he walked quickly to the child and asked.
"What did you just say?"
The child was about to speak, when the old man happened to open the curtain and came over and said.
"Tong'er doesn't have many mouths."
The child hurriedly bowed his head and remained silent, and it could be seen that he was a little afraid of the old man.
"Let's go back. Now is not the time to tell you, you will know when the time comes. ”
Fang Fan nodded and Zhang Ze left the shroud shop, and asked when he came out.
"Lao Fang, who do you think those two will be?"
Fang Fan pondered for a moment and said.
"Anyway, the people we can't afford to mess with, whether it's the Three Holy Relics or the Nightmare, they seem to be as invaluable as toys in their eyes."
"I can't imagine it. So where are we going now? ”
"Contact Jinqiu, we need to meet with him before we act."
The two returned to the Spring Flavor Bar, Han Shuo had already contacted Jinqiu according to Fang Fan's instructions, and Jinqiu came after a while. He looked haggard, as if he hadn't slept in days. Jinqiu found a corner and sat down, pinching the bamboo point with his right hand. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze came to sit down in front of him and asked.
"What's wrong? Didn't you get a good night's rest? ”
"I've been doing a lot lately, and I haven't slept much. What's wrong? What are you looking for me? ”
Fang Fan handed the photo of the middle-level cadre of the Sanyun Gang to Jinqiu and asked.
"Can you explain this?"
Jinqiu frowned and took the information and asked.
"How can I be here?"
"We don't know, that's why I'm asking you. Could it be that you are also a middle-level cadre of the Sanyun Gang? ”
"No, no, no, this is absolutely impossible, how could I go to the National Security Bureau if I am a member of the Sanyun Gang, there must be some misunderstanding here."
"I think it's better to be honest with each other before we work together."
"I don't really know what's going on. Moreover, this information is the top secret information of Situ Yingnan during his lifetime, and no one is allowed to touch it. ”
"Then how could you give it to us so easily?"
"Because I believe in you. When I got this document, I only looked at it a few times, but I didn't see a picture of myself in it. What's more, if there really is any unsavory secret, I won't give it to you so easily. ”
When Jinqiu spoke, Zhang Ze kept looking at him with the power of the green snake, and after a while, Zhang Ze whispered to Fang Fan.
"He's not lying."
Fang Fan nodded and said to Jinqiu.
"You don't have to be angry, we just want to make sure it's safe."
"I wasn't angry, I was just a little too tired. If there is nothing to do, I will go back first, since Situ Yingnan's death, I have to deal with a lot of things in the bureau. ”
"Okay, let's keep in touch then."
Jinqiu nodded and turned to walk out, just as he was about to walk to the door, suddenly the trash can outside the bar door exploded, but fortunately there were no casualties, but Jinqiu was frightened by the sudden explosion. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze hurriedly went out to check the situation, only to see that a deep pit had been blown out of the ground where the trash cans were originally placed.
"I'll go, this bomb is not small."
Fang Fan squatted next to the pit and looked at it carefully for a moment before saying.
"No, the bomb wasn't in the trash, someone had buried it under the trash can."
Zhang Zehu asked suspiciously.
"What do you mean?"
Fang Fan pointed to the avenue of the pit.
"If the bomb had exploded in the garbage can, it would not have been able to have such a destructive effect on the concrete floor. But if you bury it in the ground, you can do it completely. And judging by the depth of the pit, the bomb should have been buried about 20 centimeters directly below the garbage can. ”
Jinqiu was so shocked that he couldn't stand on his feet, and finally had to rest for a while at the Spring Bar, Zhang Ze said.
"If you look at the surveillance from last night to now, you may be able to find out who planted the bomb."
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze walked into the laboratory quickly and said to Han Shuo.
"I'm going to look at all the surveillance from nine o'clock last night until now."
Han Shuo said after finding out the surveillance video.
"It's all here."
The two of them stood in front of the computer and watched frame by frame. At this time, at the gate of the community, there was a man riding an electric tricycle and talking on the phone.
"Hello, is it Yuehan's family?"
Yuehan took the phone and said with a blank face.
"Yes. Who are you looking for? ”
"I'm a courier company, and I have your delivery, but it's a big one. The client told me that I had to deliver it to your house, but now the security guard at the gate won't let me in. See if you can talk to him, and I'll go in. ”
"Who's the principal?"
"I don't know, he placed an order online, I haven't met him."
"Okay, you give the phone to the security guard."
"Okay, thank you so much."
The courier handed the phone to the security guard, and after a few words, the security guard let him go. The courier delivered this large parcel that was more than one person tall to Fang Fan's house, and when he rang the doorbell, Yuehan opened the door from the inside.
"Hello Miss, I am Xuntong Express, this is your express, please sign for it."
Yuehan looked at the courier who was more than one person tall and asked.
"What is this?"
"I don't know, we can't open the customer's delivery."
"Is it okay to sign here?"
"Yes, just sign here."
Yuehan glanced at the sender's address when she signed, the address was very awkward to read, and the woman's intuition told Yuehan that this address was strange. Yuehan said to the courier.
"Why don't you help me move in, I can't move alone."
"I'm sorry, miss. We have a policy that you are not allowed to enter your home. ”
"It's okay, I allowed you in."
The courier saw that it was difficult to refuse, so he was embarrassed to take off his shoes and help Yuehan move the courier in, and then came to the door in a panic to put on his shoes and left. At this time, Wanli happened to come out of the bathroom, looked at the courier in the living room, and asked.
"Oh my God, what did you buy this?"
Yuehan said.
"I didn't buy it, I thought you bought it."
"How is it possible, no matter how boring I am, I won't buy such a big thing and come back."
At this time, Wanli said excitedly.
"Let's take it apart and see what's inside."
"Isn't it okay? What if Fang Fan bought it for Zhang Ze alive? ”
"Then we have to demolish it even more, in case something strange will break Bai'er and Nian."
After that, Wanli walked over with scissors, cut open the wrapping paper of the express delivery three times and divided by two, and the two looked at it, and there were three layers of thick plastic foam inside. Yuehan and Wanli carefully disposed of the plastic foam, revealing something that made the two of them dumbfounded, it turned out that it was actually a sculpture of Venus with a broken arm, but Venus's face was painted with oil paint to look like a clown. Wanli was angry after reading it and said.
"This is that grandson who is tired of life, and dares to play aunt and grandmother me."
Yuehan dialed Fang Fan's phone and asked.
"Husband, did you buy a sculpture?"
Fang Fan said confusedly on the other end of the phone.
"No, I don't. How could I possibly buy that. ”
Fang Fan asked Zhang Ze again.
"Zhang Ze, did you buy a sculpture?"
"You're crazy, aren't you? I have nothing to do with that thing, I've seen enough of Wanli every day. ”
Fang Fan hurriedly covered the phone receiver and hinted at Zhang Ze vigorously. At this time, this sentence had already drifted into Wanli's ears word for word, Zhang Ze's reflex arc seemed to have run away from home, and when he saw Fang Fan's hint of squeezing his eyebrows, he didn't know that he had lit the fuse. Fang Fan had no choice but to hurriedly say into the phone.
"Oh, we didn't buy it. You can put it there first, and we'll go back and see it later. ”
"Okay, husband."
The surveillance of the Spring Bar yielded nothing from the surveillance of the garbage can, but no clues were found that anyone had planted the bomb. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze decided to go home first to see what was going on with the sculpture, and he asked Han Shuo to continue looking for the surveillance footage.
On the way home, Fang Fan told Zhang Ze that his words were heard by Wanli just now, and Zhang Ze suddenly felt a cold air rushing from the tailbone to the top of his head. When entering the house, Zhang Ze first cautiously poked his head in to see if Wanli was there, Fang Fan was a little anxious in the back, and then kicked Zhang Ze on the buttocks, and Zhang Ze staggered into the house. Just as he was about to turn around and count Fang Fan, the frying pan in Wanli's hand had already fallen high and smashed on Zhang Ze's head impartially.
"Oops, I'm sorry, I didn't hold it steady."
Zhang Ze didn't snort, immediately stood up and ran to Wanli's side, and said.
"It's not my true words on the phone, you must believe me."
"What's that? How come I don't remember? ”
"You really don't remember?"
"Of course."
After that, Wanli raised her hand and touched Zhang Ze's face and asked with concern.
"How? Does it still hurt? ”
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."
"It's been a hard day, I've already prepared dinner for you, it's your favorite egg fried rice, eat it."
Zhang Ze looked at the black egg fried rice on the plate, swallowed his saliva, and said.
"Let's wait for everyone to eat together."
"It's okay, Yuehan and I don't eat anymore, Fang Fan said that he will order takeout by himself in a while, you can eat it, don't worry about him."
"I'm also..."
As soon as these two words came out, Wanli immediately roared like a lion.
"Give it to me."
Zhang Ze hurriedly lowered his head and pulled the egg fried rice on the plate into his mouth, and when the egg fried rice was in his mouth, Zhang Ze felt like he had drunk a sip of the sea water of the Dead Sea, and the saliva in his mouth disappeared completely in an instant. Wanli asked.
"How's it taste?"
Zhang Ze couldn't speak, so he could only shake his thumb back and forth. Wanli said with satisfaction.
"I'm going to eat them all."
After that, Wanli walked out of the kitchen, Zhang Ze rushed to the cold water pipe and drank it, and after the feeling in his mouth was a little better, he saw four empty bags of salty salt and two empty soy sauce bottles in the sink, Zhang Zequan understood. Just as he was about to pour the rest of the egg fried rice into a salty salt bag to hide from the sky, Wanli suddenly spoke from behind him.
"What are you going to do?"
Zhang Ze shivered and said in a panic.
"No, nothing. It's so delicious that I can't bear to eat it anymore, and I plan to put it away for supper. ”
Wanli and Zhang Ze have been making overt and secret moves in the kitchen, while Fang Fan has been circling around the sculpture in the living room. It's weird anyway, no one around you will send you such a thing, and even if someone gives the sculpture as a gift to themselves, they won't make the sculpture's face look so embarrassed. Yuehan asked in a whisper beside her.
"Husband, did you think it was given to you by the criminals you arrested before? It's just to play with you sincerely. ”
Fang Fan touched his beard and shook his head, and said.
"No way, most of the prisoners who fought against me are dead."
"It's too much of a hindrance to put it here, so let's put it somewhere else first."
As soon as Yue Han got around, she saw a round spot of light flash from her body, Fang Fan hurriedly pressed Yue Han to the ground and blocked Yue Han with his body, and then he shouted.
"Zhang Ze, there's a sniper on the other side."
Hearing this, Zhang Ze hurriedly protected Wanli behind her, and the moment Wanli hid behind Zhang Ze, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved upward. Zhang Ze stared intently at the situation on the opposite floor, and at this time, another spot of light flashed from the kitchen, and Zhang Ze saw the sniper and shouted.
"Old Fang, the target is on the roof of the opposite building."
Fang Fan crawled to the window and closed the curtains, and Zhang Ze and Wanli also slowly crawled from the kitchen to the living room.
"Old Fang, what should I do?"
As soon as the words fell, there was suddenly a round hole in the top of Zhang Ze's head, and then I don't know where on the floor in the room came the sound of shrapnel falling, Fang Fan said.
"It's not good, the other side has a thermal imager. No matter how we hid, he could see us. ”
Zhang Ze thought for a while and said.
"Let's go to the kitchen."
When the four of them were just about to crawl into the kitchen, Yuehan suddenly said.
"It's not good, Bai'er and Nianyi are still sleeping in the bedroom."
After saying that, Yue Han was about to run towards the bedroom, but Fang Fan hurriedly pulled her back and said.
"You go to the kitchen with them, and I'll bring the two children."
Zhang Ze took Wanli and Yuehan to the kitchen, Fang Fan dodged left and right and ran into the bedroom to pick up the two sleeping children, and then ran into the kitchen in three steps and two steps. After Fang Fan came in, Zhang Ze immediately closed the kitchen door tightly, and blocked all the cracks in the door with a cloth, and finally he opened the refrigerator door and turned the temperature to the lowest.
"In this way, the other party's thermal imager will fail."
"Well done. As long as the temperature here is low enough, our body temperature will also drop. ”
Just as they were about to call Mishima for reinforcements, the sculpture in the living room actually spoke.
