Chapter 22: The Shadow Flag

I looked at the ceiling above the room along the white smoke rising from the tea cup on the wooden table in the room.

There was nothing out of the ordinary, only the dim light bulbs on the ceiling.

At this moment, Shen Li turned around abruptly and looked at the other side of the room, I also looked, only to see that it was next to the door of the room, and at this time, next to the door, was squatting and squatting into the room before us got into the room.

I glanced at Shen Li, raised my eyebrows and went to the black cat, and folded my hands.

"Little black cat, can you tell us what's going on in this room?"

Without waiting for the black cat to respond to me, Shen Li took over.

"Jiang Wangsheng, do you know that you are asking a cat?"

I was stunned and looked at Shen Li.

"Aren't you staring at the black cat too?"

Shen Li sighed and raised his forehead, pointing to the side of the black cat, and I suddenly realized that what Shen Li was staring at was the only piece of furniture in this room except for the long cabinet where the TV was placed, the large wardrobe against the wall by the door.

"There's no heating in this room, it's not hotter than outside, and of course no one takes off their coats, so what do you do with a wardrobe?

Also, this old Chu's black cat squatted next to this wardrobe as soon as it came in, if it really followed Lao Chu, it had been to Wei Xiao's residence......"

Before Shen Li could finish speaking, the black cat next to the wardrobe suddenly moved.

The black cat yelled at us, and then sprang out of the half-hidden door of the room, as if to hide from something.

Almost at the same time, the wardrobe next to the door of this room suddenly sounded a "click", which was actually the sound of the machine turning!

Shen Li's suspicions are not wrong! This wardrobe is a secret door!

Frightened, he hurriedly got out of the room with Shen Li.

Back in the hallway, I leaned against the half-hidden door of the room, and there was a sound of footsteps in the room, of course, it must have been someone who had come out of the secret door of the closet.

Shen Li then took out his mobile phone, turned on the photography function, squatted down, and probed the lens of his mobile phone to the gap under the door.

I frowned, and only saw from the screen of Shen Li's phone that two men wrapped in gray clothes and wearing hats of the same gray color but strange style appeared in the room.

And the hats worn by the two of them with strange styles were embroidered with a gossip picture......

What the hell, are these two Taoist priests? In the office building in the most prosperous area of the city center, there are two Taoist priests?

Surprised, the two Taoist priests went to the corner of the room, picked up the broom in the corner, and swept the floor in the room.

"These old things are really hard to serve."

"Don't talk nonsense, the old man still has to rely on them, sweep the outside too, it's slippery."

I was shocked to hear this, and it was obvious that these two Taoist priests had to clean the floor outside the room, that is, the floor of the corridor where we were at this time.

And there are no more fire boxes in this hallway, and if they come out, they will definitely bump into us, and we will be exposed.

I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists, thinking only that there was only one way to go.

However, I clenched my fist, and the next moment I was held by a hand.

Of course, it was Shen Li, Shen Li had already put away his mobile phone, patted me on the shoulder, and pointed to the metal door next door to the room.

I was stunned, thinking that this metal door could not be entered without a password, and Shen Li had already taken out something from his pocket.

It was the transparent evidence bag that she had used in Lao Chu's house before.

Shen Li grabbed the two ends of the evidence bag, tore the evidence bag into a transparent film like plastic wrap, and pasted it on the number keys of the metal door code instrument.

I still couldn't figure out what she was going to do, and it wasn't until she lifted the membrane off the number keys that I understood her intentions.

Because at this time, on the film that Shen Li lifted up and pasted the digital keys of the cipher instrument, there were several thumb-sized gray stains!

Yes! A few thumb-sized gray stains, and these gray stains, of course, are the fingerprints left on the numeric keys of the password by the person who entered the password!

As for the order of passwords, there is a high probability that they will be arranged from top to bottom.

Suddenly, Shen Li had already entered the number of fingerprints on the film from top to bottom on the numeric key of the cipher instrument.

And just after Shen Li finished entering the numbers, the metal door, like an elevator, opened towards the holes on both sides!

I gave Shen Li a thumbs up, Shen Li gave me a blank look, and pulled me into the open metal door.

It's just that as soon as I stepped into the metal door, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

There is no reason, the inexplicable cold, like the 'Tan Ling' who showed his true face in the detective agency, and the chill when he went up to the old hunter's attic.

Special, cold, the skin is insensitive, but it goes straight to the heart.

Of course I'm uneasy, because since the 'Tan Ling' incident, as long as this chill is in my heart, there will definitely be no good thing!

Following the unclosed metal door behind him and the shimmer of light that poured in, he glanced at the scene behind the metal door.

It's just that when I look at it, the inexplicable chill in my heart is getting colder and colder.

For I only saw that behind the metal door, there were strange pieces of white cloth fluttering......

Yes, the white cloth seems to be hanging on the ceiling of the space behind the metal door, but each piece of white cloth is very long, hanging from the ceiling in front of us, and each piece of white cloth seems to have some words written on it.

Before I could read the words, Shen Li had already closed the metal door behind us, and the entire space behind the metal door was completely pitch black.

It was pitch black, and I couldn't see the blackness of my fingers, only the chill in my heart was surging, so that I was sure that such darkness was not that I had fainted.

Until a hand suddenly came out of the darkness and put it on my shoulder.

"Jiang Wangsheng, did you see something clearly just now?"

"I'll ......"

I looked at the source of the voice, of course, it was Shen Li beside me, but in the darkness, even if we were almost next to each other, I could only see the general outline of her figure.

"Before you close the door, I see a lot of white cloth."

"White cloth?"

"Yes, it should all be hanging from the ceiling."

As soon as I finished replying, a light lit up beside me, it was Shen Li who turned on the powerful flashlight of his mobile phone.

"It's so dark, if someone is there, it will definitely shine."

Shen Li said, the cheeks that were still calm and irradiated by the powerful flashlight, his pupils scanned all the dark places.

I nodded, and also took out my mobile phone to turn on the flashlight, and the flashlight was still in the space behind the metal door, a piece of white cloth fluttering.

"These white cloths ......"

Shen Li frowned, and the flashlight shone on the text above one of the white cloths.

"These are not white cloths."

I was stunned for a moment, and I also looked at the top of the white cloth illuminated by Shen Li, and I didn't see anything else, only the word 'sacrifice'.

"What about these ......"

"It's a shade flag."

Shen Li's answer made me feel excited, and her hand on my shoulder ...... Wait a minute!

Shen Li took out his mobile phone just now and turned on the powerful flashlight, did he use one hand or both hands?

If it's one-handed, that's fine, and if it's two-handed, then whose hand is the hand that's still on my shoulder at this time?

Shen Li is not a person who likes to hook shoulders......

I froze in place for an instant, turned my head a little bit to look at Shen Li beside me, and at this moment, Shen Li took a stride and walked straight to the dark front with a flashlight.

I was completely stupid, because Shen Li had already walked forward, but I could feel that the hand on my shoulder was still ......

Yes! I could feel, feel it clearly, and I could tell that the thing that had put its hand on my shoulder was shorter than mine, because its entire arm was attached to the back of my shoulder.

I swallowed my saliva and turned around little by little, but at this moment, a flashlight accompanied by Shen Li's voice hit me and shone on my face.

"What's wrong, Jiang Wangsheng? You're not going to be scared, are you? ”

In an instant, with the light of Shen Li's flashlight, the weight of my shoulder and hand was pressed down, and it suddenly disappeared.

I hurriedly ran to Shen Li's side, glaring and trying to tell her that something was wrong, but before I could speak, she raised an eyebrow.

"Jiang Wangsheng, looking at your startled appearance, are you really cowardly?"

"Cowardice? Fart! ”

I gritted my teeth and swallowed back what I was about to tell her.

Shen Li nodded.

"Well, since you're not cowardly, you take the lead."

I was stunned, and Shen Li had already pointed to the darkness ahead.

"These white cloths are all yin flags, what occasions are yin flags used, you don't need me to say that you should know too, right?

I'm a powerless little woman, you big man, shouldn't you take the initiative?

Unless, you ...... Not a man~~"

"Cut ......"

I went back, bypassing Shen Li and going to her, just staring at the yin banner in the flashlight, thinking of the hand on my shoulder just now, my heart was beating a drum.

Of course, I know what the shade flag is used for.

The shadow flag, also known as the soul flag, is used to guide the ghosts of the deceased during funerals.

Folklore believes that after a person dies, the soul does not die with the body, but wanders in a familiar place, which is often referred to as a ghost.

And with this yin flag, it can guide the ghost of the deceased, so that the ghost of the deceased can be buried in the coffin with the body.

However, this is the most central and prosperous part of our city.

In such a lot, there is a space full of yin flags, if this Wei Xiao is not selling yin flags, then these yin flags must be strange!

For a moment, I couldn't help but think of the hand that had just put me on my shoulder.

It can't really be a ghost, right?

But if a pair of yin flags attracts a ghost, there are so many yin flags in this space, how many ghosts must there be......
