Chapter 9: Friends
The car drove all the way out of the city and then to a remote place. There are a few villas scattered away from the city, the house is good, but the location is too remote, and the people who live there are naturally few pitiful.
Song Xin asked Jiang Yang to wait for her in the car, and she walked towards one of the villas.
In front of the villa is a large yard with beautiful grass and a lot of flowers, and one of the white benches is very conspicuous. The woman in black on the bench was seriously stroking the cat in her arms, but her eyes seemed to be looking into the distance, a distance that no one else could see.
"It's not boring to sit like this all the time!" Song Xin said and sat next to the woman.
"I'm not you, so there's not much I can do!"
When the woman said this, Song Xin seemed to think of something, sighed, and said: "It's not that you can't do much, it's that you don't want to try, you live in the past and have never come out." β
"I'd rather stay like this." The woman's voice was as flat as water, as if she didn't pay attention to everything in this world.
"Sister-in-lawγγγγγγ" Song Xin wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it.
"Okay, don't talk about it, you came to me today for something." Sister-in-law changed the topic, Song Xin didn't say much, she said it every time she came, but after knowing her for so long, she knew her best and any persuasion was useless.
Song Xin also changed her mood and said, "I encountered a strange case, and I wanted to check the information in your study." β
"The police case or your own case?"
"The police department, but it also has something to do with the case I received."
"As for me, you are just as stubborn, I have no objection to you doing this, but you must pay attention to your own safety!"
"I see!"
"Okay, go yourself, I still want to sit here!"
Song Xin reluctantly went into the house alone, and from a distance, she saw that her sister-in-law's figure was so lonely, but Song Xin, who had solved many problems, had no way to do anything about her sister-in-law.
The study room of the concubine does not look big, but as long as you press a mechanism, you can see the huge library hidden behind the study, and the books in it are all related to unnatural things, Song Xin is very confident in finding the answer.
Sitting alone in the car, Jiang Yang felt very bored, there seemed to be nothing worth going to in this neighborhood, he seemed to have to stay in the car all the time, but he was not a person who was willing to be lonely, he always wanted to find something to do, not to mention, this time he was just a driver, and there was nothing else for him to do.
Thinking like this, Jiang Yang really couldn't stand it anymore, he opened the door and got out of the car, and looked around, Song Xin was in the house now, and he didn't have time to care about him for a while, although there was nothing fun around, but it was better than staying in the car, so he decided to walk around.
Jiang Yang bypassed the villa where Song Xin went, ready to take a look elsewhere, suddenly he felt movement behind him, turned his head, and before he could see what it was, a large piece of furry thing threw him to the ground, and let out a roar like a lion, which frightened Jiang Yang and didn't dare to move.
Although Jiang Yang didn't move, the guy who held him down didn't plan to just forget it, and the essence in those eyes made Jiang Yang tremble. Jiang Yang felt that this guy was planning to eat himself, and the spontaneous sense of fear made him can't help but call Song Xin's name for help, he didn't even know if Song Xin could hear his own voice!
"Eclipse, come back!" A nice voice came into his ears, but this didn't reduce Jiang Yang's fear in the slightest, because the guy who held him down didn't intend to let go at all.
"Eclipse, don't you listen to me, come back quickly!"
Jiang Yang said weakly: "Your name is Eclipse, right, we have no enemies in our previous life and no grievances in this life, obediently listen to your master's words!" β
Jiang Yang didn't dare to expect this guy to understand his words, but soon his claws left Jiang Yang's body, but Jiang Yang still didn't dare to move, for fear that if he moved, this guy directly turned his head and solved him.
Song Xin, who was looking for a book at this time, seemed to hear Jiang Yang's voice, but she quickly denied it, and then continued to look for the information she was looking for.
Here, Jiang Yang, who still didn't know anything about his fate, still didn't dare to move.
"Eclipse, come back quickly, you can't eat ghosts here."
Jiang Yang definitely heard it right, the woman was talking about eating ghosts, which means that this guy actually knows that he is a ghost, which is also amazing. Just when Jiang Yang sighed, the guy ran directly in the direction he came, Jiang Yang felt that the danger was far away before he dared to get up, and then he saw that the big guy who pressed him to the ground turned into a black kitten and jumped into the arms of a woman, Jiang Yang really wanted to dig a crack in the ground and get into it.
"I'm sorry, it does this when it smells of ghosts, it doesn't hurt you, does it?" It's been several years since the Eclipse last reverted to its original form, and she had almost forgotten the Eclipse for what it was.
Hearing the beauty speak so gently, Jiang Yang's mood suddenly improved, "It's okay, it's okay." β
"How are you here, a ghost who can walk during the day, you have the breath of a human in you, and it's a woman, and it's γγγγγγ" The concubine didn't continue, in fact, she felt Song Xin's breath, and this person had Song Xin's breath.
His condition was clearly explained by the woman in front of him, and Jiang Yang seemed to feel as if he had heard of a woman with such ability.
"Are you a concubine?"
"Are you Jiangyang?"
Both of them said it at the same time, and then both laughed.
The concubine looked at Jiang Yang with a little scrutiny, "I heard Song Xin say that she used her lifespan to help a ghost named Jiang Yang, I was very curious, but I have never seen it." β
"She told you everything, she never told me that you were such a beautiful woman."
After Jiang Yang said this, the eclipse in his sister-in-law's arms screamed, and Jiang Yang's face froze suddenly, this guy scared himself so much just now that he didn't know what to do.
"The temper of the eclipse is like that, don't be surprised!" The concubine stroked the eclipse, and the little one obediently buried his head in sleep.
"What kind of animal is it, so big just now, and so small now?" Jiang Yang is a studious ghost, and he will humbly ask for advice if he doesn't know.
"The Eclipse is a ghost-eating beast, and it was given to me by my friend for self-defense."
Jiang Yang was about to say something, but another voice sounded, "You haven't read the ghost's survival manual, you deserve to be eaten!" β
Song Xin didn't know when she was already standing not far from them, and her face couldn't hide her anger. She didn't let Jiang Yang follow her, on the one hand, she didn't want too many people to know about the existence of her sister-in-law, and on the other hand, because of the eclipse, she didn't expect Jiang Yang to send them by herself.
Jiang Yang knew that his behavior was bad, so he bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but Song Xin didn't speak, and he was still angry at Jiang Yang's self-assertion.
It was also rare to see Song Xin like this, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, isn't there nothing, have you found the information you are looking for?" β
"Fortunately, I found it, otherwise I wouldn't be in the mood if he was angry."
"Boss, I was really wrong, never in the future!"
The ghost eater beast was originally very difficult to encounter, and Jiang Yang was indeed frightened and knew that he was afraid, Song Xin felt that there was no need to be so unrelenting, so he said goodbye to his concubine and went back with Jiang Yang.
On the way back, Song Xin looked out through the car window, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Boss, what did you find?" Jiang Yang wanted Song Xin to divert attention from his incident.
"When you go back, check what you need to avoid when you go back, you know?"
"Got it." Jiang Yang replied, his heart was warm, although he actually couldn't feel it.
There was silence in the car for a while, and after a long time, Song Xin said: "I already have a clue, you send me to the police station first." β
"Okay!"
When he arrived at the police station, Song Xin asked Jiang Yang to go back first and went in alone.
Song Xin didn't see Xie Yuzhe, just before she came, Xie Yuzhe went to the scene of the crime, Song Xin was not very happy because of Jiangyang's affairs, so she didn't call, and sat down directly and waited for Xie Yuzhe to come back.
Song Xin likes to mention the topic of ghosts in front of Jiang Yang, but she doesn't think that Jiang Yang is different from herself, but even if she doesn't admit the facts, although she is wearing the same shell as a human, Jiang Yang is always a ghost, as long as it is a creature that can threaten ghosts, it will threaten Jiang Yang. The ghost eater beast is very terrifying, if it weren't for the solar eclipse, Jiang Yang would have died a long time ago, and the ghost would have disappeared forever if it was eaten. Jiang Yang's current state was caused by her, and if Jiang Yang was wiped out because of this, she really didn't know whether to let Jiang Yang stay anymore.
Jiangyang's incident made Song Xin fall into deep thought, and she couldn't react when Xie Yuzhe came back.
Song Xin sat so fixedly, Xie Yuzhe had never seen her like this, shouted two words, pushed Song Xin, and Song Xin reacted.
"What's wrong with you, what are you thinking?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's really nothing, has there been any progress in the case?" Song Xin didn't want to discuss this with Xie Yuzhe at all.
Xie Yuzhe motioned for Song Xin to go to his office to talk.
When he arrived at the office, Xie Yuzhe took a few sips of water before saying, "Not only did there be no progress, but another one died today." β
"The scene of the crime you just went to?"
"Yes, the cause of death of the deceased is exactly the same as the previous three times, but we didn't find the poetry book and seal, and we collected two different sets of fingerprints at the scene, which may help."
Song Xin said with some disappointment: "It seems that it is not correct to use poetry collections and seals as the entry point. β
"Not necessarily, according to the information of the previous three people, we know that they all joined the Fenglin Poetry Society, and the seal was engraved by the same person."
"That means they do have a connection, but I don't know if this connection has anything to do with their deaths."
Xie Yuzhe nodded, the clues they had seemed to be useful, but they didn't know how to use them.
"By the way, did you find something?"
