As soon as the girl's words fell, Qiao Lili walked out of the reception room where she had just prepared something, and when she heard what the girl said, she stepped forward to greet her, "What happened?" Tell me about it, I'll do a simple registration. ”

After hearing this, the girl raised her feet and was about to walk towards Qiao Lili, but when she turned her head and saw three people standing there looking at her, she was a little scared for a while, so she stood there and didn't move.

"Okay, don't rob it, I'll go," Xu Xu looked at it, and then talked to Xiahou Yuan again, "I'm still familiar with the situation over there, I'll report it in time if there's any situation, there's a new client, don't delay other people's affairs." ”

"Okay, then you can go!" Xiahou Yuan couldn't resist Xu Xu, and finally nodded, then glanced at Ding Yao with a complicated feeling, waved his hand, and said, "Pay attention to safety, contact me in time if there is any situation." ”

"Order!" Xu Xu said goodbye and went out.

"Don't think too much about it, work hard." Ding Yao said that, and also left with Xu Xu.

Xiahou Yuan stared at the door and watched the two leave, then he breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and then walked towards the girl who had just come in, "Say it in the reception room." ”

The girl was taken aback by Xiahou Yuan's sentence, maybe Xiahou Yuan's words were not clear, or maybe he said it too quickly, the girl didn't understand Xiahou Yuan's intentions, just looked at Xiahou Yuan blankly, and then looked at Qiao Lili.

"This is our team leader," Qiao Lili began, "he means to go to the reception room over there to talk, where the privacy is better." ”

"Uh-oh." The girl nodded, and then walked to the reception room with the order.

"Alright, you don't care." Xiahou Yuan gestured to Qiao Lili, and then took the kettle that had just been filled with hot water at the front desk and entered the reception room.

The girl did not sit down in a hurry, but stood there and looked at Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan closed the door, made two cups of tea with freshly boiled hot water and put them on the coffee table, and then sat on the sofa, seeing that the girl was not sitting, he pointed to the sofa opposite, "Sit." ”

The girl sat down, but kept her head down and didn't speak.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Maybe the conversation outside just now was a little hot, and Xiahou Yuan didn't care about any etiquette, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip first, "By the way, what do you call you?" ”

"My name is Shi Yuxuan." The girl's voice was very weak, she uncovered the cloth covering the object, revealing the photo frame that Xiahou Yuan had guessed, and handed it to Xiahou Yuan, "This is the ......"

Xiahou Yuan took the photo frame, and there was a bust of the old man on it, judging from the size of the photo frame and the photo, this should be the old man's posthumous portrait, but the old man's face on the posthumous portrait was a little hideous, and blood flowed from the corners of his eyes and mouth. Xiahou Yuan asked, "Is this someone's portrait?" ”

The girl nodded, her voice still weak, "It's grandma's portrait......"

Xiahou Yuan looked at the statue, fixed his mind, and then said: "Presumably, the old man's appearance was originally kind, but recently it has become this hideous appearance, so you came to entrust us to investigate and deal with it, right?" ”

"Yes." Shi Yuxuan lowered his head, his expression a little sad.

But Xiahou Yuan's question did not stop, "When did Grandma leave?" How to get there? ”

Shi Yuxuan raised his head slowly, "About half a year ago, I had a heart attack." ”

"Please mourn." Xiahou Yuan said, carefully observing every detail of the statue. He touched the blood stain on the portrait with his hand, then glanced at his finger and found that there was nothing stained on his finger, and then he sniffed it against the photo, but he didn't smell anything unusual. So he said to Shi Yuxuan: "Judging from the current situation, the change in the posthumous image is only a change in photo imaging, and it has not affected the outside world. Approximate when did it become like this? ”

"Three days ago," Shi Yuxuan said, "it started to change three days ago, and today it has become like this." ”

"In other words, it's not all of a sudden, but there's a process of change, isn't it?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

"Yes." Shi Yuxuan replied.

"Have a sip of tea." Xiahou Yuan pointed to the water cup in front of Shi Yuxuan, and then stood up with the portrait, "I'm going to send the portrait to the Investigation Department for examination, you can wait for me for a while." ”

"Okay." Shi Yuxuan didn't say anything, picked up the water cup and took a sip of tea.

Xiahou Yuan left the reception room with the portrait, ran up to the second floor in three steps and two steps, and came to the door of the appraisal room of the investigation department, and happened to meet Yu Ban coming out of his office and going to the appraisal room.

"Something?" Yu Ban's eyes swept the photo frame in Xiahou Yuan's hand.

"Something," Xiahou Yuan picked up the portrait and gave it a look at Yu Ban, "It's this portrait, do a grievance value identification, then do a yin-yang ratio test, and then do a demonic qi reaction test." ”

"Okay," Yu Ban took the photo frame, pushed open the door of the appraisal room and walked in, "Do the demonic qi reaction too?" ”

"Do it!" Xiahou Yuan also followed Yu Ban inside, "Demon activities have been rampant recently, so be careful." ”

Yu Ban nodded, then handed the portrait to a man with glasses, "Xiao Zhang, resentment, yin and yang, and demon rebellion." ”

"Okay," the man took the portrait and looked at it before setting up the detection equipment, "Wait a minute." ”

"Good work." Yu Ban said, and a young woman sitting in front of the computer shouted, "Then who, Juan, did Xu Xu take the equipment and make an order in the morning?" ”

"Out!" The woman shouted, her eyes constantly scanning the computer screen, comparing the data, "The list is here, I'll send it later." ”

"Just let you go, and when she comes back, let her sign." Yu Ban replied.

"Okay!" The woman never glanced at Yu Ban, and only cared about comparing the data there.

Yu Ban didn't talk to the woman again, but turned around and asked Xiahou Yuan, "Anyway, what's wrong, it's still half an hour before work, and Xu Xu came to me to ask for equipment." ”

Xiahou Yuan finally got rid of the impetuous mood just now because of the new commission, and when he heard Yu Ban ask this, he was angry again, and he didn't give Yu Ban a good face, "You go back and ask her directly." ”

"Hey, what kind of attitude is this......" Yu Ban looked at Xiahou Yuan with a confused expression, puzzled, "Have you taken gunpowder?" ”

"Pretty much." Xiahou Yuan intervened, and his panting became thicker.

As soon as Yu Ban saw Xiahou Yuan's posture, there must be something unspeakable, so he didn't say anything more, "Yes, I also asked." ”

Xiahou Yuan knew that his attitude was not very good, but he really didn't want to continue to say anything about Ding Yao, so he changed his words and asked, "The result is coming out soon, right?" ”

"Is there a result?" Yu Ban shouted at the man who had taken the portrait just now.

"Right now, right away!" The man replied, "The data is out, I'll mark it." ”

"Don't mark it!" Xiahou Yuan immediately stopped, "I think that portrait is quite important to the client, don't mark things on it, tell me about the data." ”

"Well, then I'll send you to the office when I make a report," the man handed the portrait back to Xiahou Yuan, "Actually, it's nothing, there is no resentment value and demonic qi reaction, and the yin-yang ratio is 1.13 to 1." ”

"This ......" Xiahou Yuan was stunned when he heard the data, and then slowly took the portrait, "Is the yin qi a little heavier?" ”

"So to speak." The man shrugged, then moved on to something else.

"What's going on?" Xiahou Yuan was very puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Yu Ban opened the door of the appraisal room and motioned for Xiahou Yuan to go out and speak.

Xiahou Yuan walked out of the appraisal room, and then carefully observed the remains. Suddenly, he found that the expression of the old man on the portrait was not as hideous as just now, and there was less blood in his eyes and at the corners of his mouth, which made him even more confused.

"Tell me what's going on." Yu Ban asked.

Xiahou Yuan took a long breath and said, "This portrait was originally normal, but recently, the expression of the deceased above suddenly began to be hideous, and then I felt that it was not so hideous when I saw it just now. ”

"There's no resentment, right?" Yu Ban nodded, "This is very similar to a thing I tested a while ago." ”

"What's that?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

Yu Ban recalled for a while, and then told Xiahou Yuan, "Just a little girl, the puppy she raised died, and then she dreamed of this dog every night, but this dog became more and more vicious day by day. The little girl we tested, her parents, her home and the place where the puppy was buried, there was no resentment value left, but the yin qi was slightly heavier. ”

"What's going on?" Xiahou Yuan hurriedly asked.

"You listen to me," Yu Ban continued, "The result is analyzed, because she put the puppy's dog tag under the pillow, and she misses the puppy very much, so that the spirit child generated by her thoughts and the spirit child left on the dog tag by the puppy are entangled with each other, so that some of the puppy's soul is always reluctant to leave." Then we told her to stop the tag and be fine that night. ”

"Then I understand," Xiahou Yuan suddenly realized after hearing this, and pointed to the statue, "This may be the meaning." ”

Yu Ban nodded, "That's what I said, so the top priority now is to untie the knot in the client's heart." ”

"I know, thank you," Xiahou Yuan pointed to the staircase, "Then I'll go and get busy first." ”

"Nacheng, you get busy first." Yu Ban waved his hand and went back to his office.

Xiahou Yuan took the portrait and trotted all the way downstairs to the door of the reception room.

Just at the door of the reception room, Xiahou Yuan's footsteps suddenly stopped. In the face of such a thing, it is actually difficult to speak, but the matter still needs to be solved, which must find an entry point. Xiahou Yuan thought for a few minutes before opening the door of the reception room.

"Look at it," Xiahou Yuan walked up to Shi Yuxuan and returned the portrait to her, "Isn't Grandma's face a little soothed?" ”

Shi Yuxuan took the portrait and looked at it, she looked at the portrait every day, and the details were naturally very clear, so she obviously felt that the grandmother's face on the portrait was not so terrifying, and the blood in the corners of her eyes and mouth was less, "What's going on?" ”

"Grandma must be important to you, right?" Xiahou Yuan didn't immediately explain the reason for the incident, but sat opposite Shi Yuxuan and chatted with her.

"I was brought up by my grandmother," as soon as the words came out, Shi Yuxuan's eyes moistened, she held the portrait tightly in her arms, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, "My parents are busy with work, and grandma loves me the most." ”

Xiahou Yuan saw that Shi Yuxuan was not shy about talking about this, so he continued, "It should be the longest time with grandma, right?" ”

Shi Yuxuan nodded, glanced to the side, and began to recall, "Yes, since kindergarten, grandma picked me up, cooked for me, bought me my favorite dolls, and told me stories before going to bed." ”

"So you always tell your grandmother first when you have anything to say, and you always think of your grandmother first in everything you do, right?" Xiahou Yuan picked up the kettle and filled the teacup in front of Shi Yuxuan with water.

Shi Yuxuan's tears finally flowed, and his voice began to choke, "I can't imagine at all, how I should live without my grandmother, when I return home, I don't know what to do without my grandmother......"

"So you've always had a picture of grandma in your bedroom, haven't you?" Xiahou Yuan asked, pointing to the statue.

"Yes," Shi Yuxuan wiped his tears while looking at Xiahou Yuan with a puzzled look, "How do you know?" ”

Xiahou Yuan took a deep breath and began to explain, "Because only by placing it in your bedroom can you get close to the statue all night long, and it is precisely because of this that the face of grandma on the statue will become terrifying and scary." ”

"Why?" Shi Yuxuan said this at a much louder volume than when he spoke before.

Xiahou Yuan continued: "Because when you are sleeping, the spiritual child activity generated by your grandmother's thoughts will be more active, and the activity of the deceased's spiritual child before his death carried on the portrait at night will be active, and the two will interact with each other, so that the deceased itself should disperse the soul and the spirit child cannot be completely dispersed, and it is difficult for the deceased to enter the reincarnation, so that the soul of the deceased is very painful, so the Yin Qi will be aggravated, and the appearance of the deceased on the portrait will change. ”

Shi Yuxuan could only listen to a half-understanding, but he was very smart and generally understood, so he said in a weak voice: "It means that I miss it too much and let my grandmother suffer, so the image has become terrible, right?" ”

"People have to grow up, don't they?" Xiahou Yuan is actually not good at telling some big truths, but he can only say it at this time, "Life is old, sick and dead, there are no exceptions, and living well with grandma's expectations is what you should do." ”

"But I miss her so much!" Shi Yuxuan cried bitterly, and tears fell on the frame of the posthumous portrait.

Xiahou Yuan got up and squatted beside Shi Yuxuan again, then took out a few tissues and handed them to her, "You should let her live in your heart, not let yourself live in your memory, this is also for your grandmother's good." ”

"I see, I'll try." Shi Yuxuan sobbed a few times, then took the tissue to wipe away her tears, and wanted to wipe the tears on the photo frame by the way, who knew that when she looked at the portrait, she found that the grandmother's expression in the photo had returned to a kind appearance, and she couldn't help but be surprised, "What's going on?" ”

"Probably you said your heart knot, and I want Lingzi to return to normal." Xiahou Yuan took out a few more tissues, helped Shi Yuxuan wipe the photo frame clean, and then sat back opposite her, "The posthumous image is not suitable for long-term placement, let alone in the bedroom." When you get home, put away the portrait and start a new life with the thought of your grandmother, come on! ”

Shi Yuxuan nodded, then wrapped the portrait in his arms with a cloth, stood up, and bowed deeply to Xiahou Yuan, "Thank you!" ”

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly stood up, smiled kindly at Shi Yuxuan, and then helped her open the door of the reception room.

Shi Yuxuan also smiled, walked out of the reception room, bowed to Xiahou Yuan again, and then left.

Xiahou Yuan stood at the door of the reception room, looked out of the door, watched Shi Yuxuan leave, and suddenly thought of his eldest brother, thinking in his heart, if the eldest brother was gone, could he comfort himself like this?

Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to continue thinking about it, he also knew that it was useless to think about it, he remembered that Xun Yu had not finished preparing the information about Xiahou Yuan by himself, so he went upstairs to prepare the materials.
