Chapter 21: The Death of Uncle Wang

Lao Wu didn't care, he said indifferently while picking things: "You want to flirt with people, I'm afraid you're choosing the wrong object." I'm not one of those greedy and angry people, I advise you to hide and stay away as soon as possible, and don't dwell on this. ”

"What if I don't go?" The voice of the female ghost is like the voice of another world, cold and distant.

"Don't be ashamed, then don't blame me for being unkind to you!" Lao Wu shouted loudly, and a yellowed talisman had been taken out of his arms.

"Huh!" Several customers who came to buy things saw that Lao Wu was angry and still holding yellow paper in his hand, and they all looked at this side curiously, and whispered in their mouths.

Lao Wu's face suddenly had a fever, and in front of everyone's eyes, he had to quickly put the talisman into his pocket to avoid being ridiculed.

Except for Qi Lu and Lao Wu, the other customers couldn't see any ghosts around them at all, and they didn't pay attention to why the expressions of the two of them were tense, at most they regarded Lao Wu's actions just now as a stranger who suddenly lost his temper, just like the passers-by you meet when you commute to work every day in this city, and they pass by in parallel and staggered at a certain moment, and no longer have memories after that.

The customers passed between Qi Lu and the female ghost, and in a blink of an eye, it was silent again, and when only the three of them were left in the venue, Liang Xue grinned, and there was disdain in her eyes.

"With your little three-legged cat spell, can you help me?"

Hearing the words of the female ghost Liang Xue, Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, he suddenly felt like he was being ghosted, except for his eyes, he could move, his hands, feet and body did not obey the call, and the whole person stood stiff like a puppet and couldn't move.

Not only Qi Lu, but Lao Wu's situation was not much better than him, and the two had to stare at each other with wide eyes, looking at each other awkwardly, racking their brains to get out of the predicament in front of them.

"Shame on the face!" The female ghost imitated Lao Wu's tone and made a sneering grimace at them, and the person disappeared from their sight like a light smoke.

Suddenly, the bodies of the two of them also regained their freedom, Qi Lu gasped, his eyes were still looking around, trying to find Liang Xue's trace.

"Don't look for it, she's never going to show up again tonight." Lao Wu said hatefully: "If she hadn't run fast, I would have to beat her soul away!" ”

It is obvious that his skills are not as good as others, Lao Wu is still ashamed to speak in front of him, Qi Lu really doesn't know what to say.

Lao Wu bought the things he needed and drove Qi Lu back to the funeral home. Along the way, Lao Wu looked at Qi Lu with a depressed face, so he said to him: "Don't you think it's a little strange? ”

"Oh, really?" Qi Lu rolled the window, lit a cigarette and asked him.

"It's just a new ghost who has only been dead for a few days, and she can make us all unable to move, and her skills are too big, right?"

Qi Lu chuckled in his heart, although on the surface he pretended to be indifferent, but secretly he had to admit that Lao Wu saw the problem to the point.

Lao Wu still kept talking about the topic, but Qi Lu was already a little absent-minded. It's no wonder that he, since getting in the car, Qi Lu's eyelids have been jumping, and he always has a hunch that tonight may not be a peaceful night. But what was wrong, Qi Lu couldn't say for a while.

After saying goodbye to Qi Lu, Lao Wu drove home, and as soon as Qi Lu walked the stairs into the corridor of his dormitory, he found that the atmosphere around him was unusually depressing.

"Don't go inside!" Qi Lu suddenly heard someone warning him.

The female voice floated from above his head behind him, and although the tone was rapid, it was a little resentful, not like a human voice.

Qi Lu looked back and saw a humanoid thing shining with a faint white light on the top of the corridor, but when he went up the stairs just now, he clearly saw that there was nothing there!

The humanoid thing was attached to the wooden beam like a ghost and stood still, but as soon as she found that Qi Lu was looking at her with wide eyes, she immediately used her hands and feet together, and floated back with a "poof", and before Qi Lu could react, she had disappeared in the night sky along the eaves, and Qi Lu was so fast that she couldn't even see her face clearly.

"Damn, I'm hitting the ghost again!" Qi Lu finally couldn't help but scold.

It took a long time for Qi Lu to come back to his senses, and when he exhaled and was about to go back to the house to sleep, he saw that the door of Uncle Wang's room next door was unexpectedly open, and the light spilled out from the house, leaving him alone and sad.

Qi Lu then remembered that when he and Lao Wu saw the female ghost Liang Xue appear, they left the unconscious Uncle Wang and chased away. Thinking of his rash actions, Qi Lu couldn't help but blame himself in his heart, and felt very regretful for his reckless behavior.

He walked into the room a little apprehensively, still thinking about how to explain what he had done to Uncle Wang, but he was surprised to see Uncle Wang hanging from the ceiling, and there was a chair at his feet, and his body was swinging around on the hook, and the riveting place of the hook and the ceiling seemed to be overwhelmed by the weight of Uncle Wang's body and making a slight creaking sound.

"It's not good, Uncle Wang hanged himself!" Qi Lu was taken aback, and hurriedly hugged Uncle Wang's legs and lifted them up, but the rough rope was very tight, and Qi Lu didn't have the strength to put his body down.

Qi Lu picked up the fruit knife on the table, then straightened the chair and stepped on it and tiptoed to cut the hemp rope, and finally cut the rope, Wang Bo, who had lost his center of gravity, suddenly fell on him, Qi Lu instinctively reached out to help, and as a result, he fell on the cold floor tiles with himself. A gust of wind blew, dust kicked up, and the worn curtains swayed in the wind.

Qi Lu struggled to get up, and saw that Uncle Wang's tongue was sticking out, and his eyes were bulging, and there were a few strands of blood mixed in between. Qi Lu touched his body with his hand, it was already cold and stiff, and then he realized that Uncle Wang had been dead for a long time.

At this time, Qi Luke panicked, and he quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed 110.

Hearing that someone called the police and told the police about the murder, within a moment, three policemen wearing uniforms and wearing the national emblem on their heads rushed to the funeral home, led by Qi Lu's acquaintance Liu Chenfei. Zhang Shifan received a call from the security guard on duty, and also got up from the quilt and came to the scene in a panic.

Liu Chenfei commanded two police officers to cordon off the scene, trying their best to block the crowd of curious people who came to watch, and several reporters who received the report also came to hear the news, taking pictures around with cameras and mobile phones. Liu Chenfei couldn't control the scene, so he had to use his mobile phone to report the situation to the bureau, and after a large number of police officers and forensic doctors came, Wang Bo's body was quickly transferred to the special morgue in the funeral home.

A reporter learned that Qi Lu was the first to find out about Uncle Wang's death, so he asked him for an interview. Qi Lu was hesitating to accept the reporter's invitation, when he saw Liu Chenfei pushing the reporter away with a blushing face and pulling himself into a secluded corner.

"Come back to the bureau with me."

Qi Lu was stunned and said, "Hey, you're not joking, I'm not a murderer." ”

"Before the case is solved, anyone who has been in contact with the deceased is suspicious, and you are both the one who reported the crime and the first person to arrive at the scene, of course I will take you back to record a confession."

"Oh." Qi Lu put his mind at ease and flew into the police car with Liu Chen.

In the office of the Public Security Bureau, Liu Chenfei was called out by a female policeman before he could ask a few questions, and he was replaced by a young policeman.

The policeman didn't know Qi Lu, and his interrogation was also the same as that of interrogating a prisoner, Qi Lu suddenly became unhappy, and he said to him coldly: "What kind of attitude do you have, I refuse to answer any of your questions." ”

The policeman snorted, and replied to Qi Lu unceremoniously: "This is the police station, not your house, you give me honesty, otherwise I will lock you up!" ”

"You're scaring me!" Qi Lu said coldly: "According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, the duration of police summons and detention of ordinary people cannot exceed 24 hours at most. If you still want to lynch you, I'll treat it as a free hotel for one day. ”

"You!" The policeman slapped the table angrily, stood up and pointed at Qi Lu speechless. Not to be outdone, Qi Lu stood up.

At this time, Liu Chenfei came in again, still holding a bag of information in his hand, and he saw that the atmosphere in the room was tense, so he motioned for the policeman to go out.

"My colleague has a bad attitude, I apologize to you on his behalf."

"That's pretty much it." Qi Lu took Liu Chenfei's cigarette and sat back in his chair.

"Say, you didn't kill the person!"

Qi Lu, who was smoking, was stunned by Liu Chenfei's sudden question, and he was so frightened that he almost sat crookedly on the ground.

"I said Lao Liu, you can't wronged people." Qi Lu hurriedly said, "What kind of person I am, you still don't know?" Not only will I not do anything illegal or criminal, but I will also fully cooperate with your police report, I am a good citizen. ”

"I know you won't do criminal things, it's illegal, it's hard to say."

Qi Lu was speechless, he touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and his right hand flicked the ash of his cigarette unnaturally.

Liu Chenfei's original intention was just to extinguish Qi Lu's prestige for his colleagues, and seeing that the effect had been reached, he said in a slow tone: "Xiao Qi, you destroyed the scene of the crime, how can I solve the case?" ”

"I'm eager to save people! Although I made a low-level mistake, I didn't want the murderer to escape the law. ”

"Really? Do you mean that Lao Wang was murdered? ”

"Well, I'...... I'm guessing. At this time, Qi Lu realized that he had missed his mouth.

"Don't give me a grin, tell me everything you know!"

Seeing Liu Chenfei's expression becoming serious, Qi Lu said with a straight face: "At first, I thought that Uncle Wang was committing suicide, but in the process of saving him, I found out that the murderer faked the scene. ”

"Go on." Liu Chenfei poured Qi Lu a glass of water.

"When I untied Uncle Wang's body from the rope, I suddenly saw only my footprints on the chair......"

"What does that mean?" Liu Chenfei asked knowingly.

Qi Lu paused for a moment, and said resolutely: "Uncle Wang's dormitory is the only chair suitable for him to stand on, so that his head is just within reach of the rope sleeve." If he committed suicide by standing on this chair, why didn't he have his footprints? It can't be that my footprints overlap exactly with his, right? This can only show that someone killed him, and then wiped off his footprints and then faked the illusion that Uncle Wang committed suicide. ”

"Count you kid smart." Liu Chenfei laughed, took out the case file from the information bag, and continued: "The forensic report came out, and there were two strangulation marks on the deceased's neck, which proved that your judgment was correct. ”

"Did you find any other clues?"

"Hey, am I questioning you, or are you interrogating me?" Although Liu Chenfei said that he was fierce, he still revealed some news to Qi Lu, "We have investigated, the deceased has deposited money in his bank account several times recently, and the amount each time is tens of thousands of yuan, a total of 180,000 yuan. ”

Qi Lu had already learned the news from Lao Wu, but he didn't expect Liu Chenfei to also secretly investigate Uncle Wang.

Liu Chenfei continued: "But he took out all the money yesterday and sent it to his grandson, who is studying at Tsinghua University. ”

Qi Lu heard him talk about Uncle Wang when chatting with his colleagues yesterday, his son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident when their grandson was less than ten years old, and it was Uncle Wang who raised his grandson single-handedly and loved him very much.

"I would like to remind you that the deceased's money was deposited in the bank after the funeral home was haunted."

Qi Lu suddenly found that things were not as simple as he thought, and his mind was a mess, and he didn't know what to say.
