(66) The first commission

"Do you add sugar?"

Si Yu made a cup of coffee for the old woman.

"No sugar, thank you!"

The old woman waved her hand absentmindedly.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"

I sat down on the couch across from the old woman.

The old woman took the coffee and put it on the coffee table in front of her.

"I'm here to ask for your help, it's for my son's business!"

I reached out and gestured for her to continue.

"Every night, there is a light in my son's house.... Under the bed, in the living room, in the closet... The son and daughter-in-law are not well rested and cannot work well.... What to do! ”

The old woman said incoherently.

"What light, what light!"

Chiqi interjected.

"I get it!" I listened to her and said, "Your son's house has a light in the light, right?" This light will appear anywhere in the house, right? Is it right that it affects the life and work of your son and daughter-in-law? ”

"Uh-huh, that's right!"

The old woman looked at me with gratefulness, as if thankful that I could understand her incoherent words.

"Don't worry!" I tried to soothe the old woman's emotions, "First of all, what does this light look like, how big is it?" ”

"It's just a ball of light!" The old woman gestured with her hands to the size of a watermelon, "It's probably that big!" ”

"It can't be a ghost fire, right?"

Chiqi interjected again.

Actually, I guess it's a ghost fire.

"It's not a ghost fire! The light was bright! ”

The old woman is still reaching out to make a gesture, I really don't know how rare it is for her to use her hand to compare the brightness of the light?

"What color is that light?"

I asked.

"White! No! Golden! No! White! No! It's so bright, I can't tell what it looks like! ”

The old woman could not describe the color of the light either.

"And when exactly did this light appear?"

I then asked.

"It's been about a month! It pops up every night and then disappears at dawn! ”

The old woman replied.

"Are there any cemeteries or anything nearby?"

I still want to make sure it's a ghost fire.

"There is no cemetery! I said, it's really not a ghost fire! ”

The old woman said, feeling a little excited, as if she felt that we did not believe her.

"We're using the elimination method to solve the problem for you, don't you mind."

Si Yu gently sat down beside the old woman, patted the old woman's hand, and handed the coffee on the coffee table to the old woman's hand.

The old woman took the coffee and took a sip of it, and Si Yu hurriedly handed over the tissue.

The old woman wiped the coffee from the corner of her mouth, and her mood was relieved.

"That bright light will appear at night, and the room will be illuminated like daytime, which is terrifying!"

She continued.

"Does this light make a sound?"

I continued to cross-examine.

"No sound!"

"Does it have any other weird signs? Does it hurt? ”

"It didn't hurt! I can't say how weird it is, just look at it, it's really terrifying! ”

Accepted the commission, left the address, and got up to see the old woman away.

"That Hunt is really bad! Throw us such an inexplicable case! ”

Chi Qi looked at the back of the old woman leaving and nagged.

"We're a mystery investigation agency! It's a mystery, but it's right! ”

I went back to my seat and sat down.

"These rich people are also idle eggs! Isn't there a light at her son's house at night? There is no sound and no substantial impact, there is light and there is light! ”

Chi Qi continued to nag.

"How do you know she's rich?"

Si Yu asked Chi Qi differently.

"With the diamonds around her neck, she can buy this street!"

Chiqi pouted and smiled.

"You really don't have a backache when you stand and talk! If there is an inexplicable light in your home at night, illuminating your home as if it were daytime, and you are afraid every day that you don't know where it will appear or what it is, aren't you afraid? ”

I said with a sneer.

"What are you afraid of! I've also saved power! ”

Chiqi said with a hippie smile.

"Thinking about this picture, I have chills in my back!"

Si Yu hugged his shoulders and shook twice, as if he was there.

"Now that we've accepted the commission, we're going to find out!"

I said in a serious and responsible manner.

The next evening, we rushed to the address given by the client.

An imposing villa with a large yard and several large and small swimming pools, it can be seen that the owner loves to swim.

"Look, I'll just say it's rich!"

Chi Qi was proud.

Explaining the intention, the housekeeper invited us into the villa.

The man came downstairs, dressed in a loose and fat golden dressing gown.

Her blonde hair was naturally curly, and she looked a little like an old woman.

I saw bloodshot in his eyes.

The guests and hosts were seated, and the servants served coffee.

"Your mother commissioned us to investigate the Light."

I got straight to the point.

"How so? I'm so sorry! It might make you run for nothing! My mother, after my father's death, has been in a trance, maybe she saw something unusual, like a hallucination or something! ”

The man leaned back on the sofa and said in a flat tone.

"You don't have any mysterious light clusters in your house?"

The first case turned out to be an oolong, and I was somewhat disappointed.

"Then let your mom go to the doctor, don't come to us if you have nothing to do!"

Chiqi complained.

"I'm so sorry!"

The man got up, and there was the smell of serving tea to the guests.

"Nothing, take good care of your mother!"

We also got up and prepared to leave.

"Ahh

Suddenly there was a scream from upstairs, and the man ran up in a panic. We followed us upstairs.

"This time, it ran to Alice's head!"

A woman slumped in the doorway of a bedroom.

The man went into the bedroom, and we went in, and on the bed lay a little girl sleeping quietly, with a white light the size of a watermelon above her head.

"Didn't you say that your mother was in bad spirits and hallucinating? What is it! ”

Chi Qi said to the man in a reproachful tone.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the man was also at a loss, and stayed in place with a shocked face.

Through the white light, I saw that the girl in the bed was sleeping soundly and was not affected by anything.

"It's okay, see that the child sleeps soundly, it's fine!"

I comforted.

The woman outside the door was still crying, and the sound woke up the sleeping little girl.

The little girl slowly opened her eyes and got up from her hands, and the light seemed to grow on the girl's head, and then stood up.

"What's wrong, Dad?"

The girl looked at the man and us in surprise, not seeming to notice that she had a watermelon-sized ball of light above her head.

"It's alright, kid, let's sleep a little longer!"

Chi Qi was afraid that the child would be scared, so she coaxed the girl to sleep for a while. The girl really didn't wake up, and some people said that she should sleep a little longer, and then fell asleep on the bed again.

Si Yu helped up the woman who was sitting at the door.

"Let's go downstairs and talk! Don't make a noise to the kids! ”

I motioned for the man to go downstairs and talk about the light.

When they went upstairs to the living room and sat down, the woman was still in shock, lying in the man's arms.

"What is this? Are we all in bad spirits? All hallucinations? ”

Chi Qi was still angry about the man saying that the client was in bad spirits, and pointed upstairs.

"I'm so sorry! I have failed your kindness! It's just that my wife's father just passed away yesterday, and I wanted to put this matter aside for the time being and investigate it later. ”

The man said guiltily.

"Your dad just died?"

Chi Qi asked the woman, and the woman nodded.

"Sorry! We didn't know it was the right time! ”

A loved one has just passed away, and we didn't come at the right time.

"Nope! The matter of that light is also urgently needed, and it is now on my daughter's head, it is terrible! The woman said in shock.

"Don't worry, for the time being, this light didn't hurt your daughter."

I reassured the woman, "What the hell is going on?" ”
