Chapter 3: Ghosts

It is clear to all of us in the Serious Crimes Unit that the case is moving towards a more complex situation.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Du Group came out of the office at a loss, "Now the time is pressing, a case has not been completed, and another case has come out, I know that everyone is not an iron man, I have stayed up all night yesterday, I will go back early tonight to rest, and continue to investigate tomorrow morning." ”

After leaving the serious crime team, everyone returned to their residences one after another, it was getting late, I was lying on the bed tossing and turning, and the scene when Xiong Yu gave incense to Guan Erye during the day has been coming to my mind.

The City God Temple was originally a place where anger gathered, although there was a city god guarding it, but I knew in my heart that after World War II, these so-called gods disappeared, and their occasional appearance was not for the justice of heaven and earth.

During the day, Du Group and Xiong Yu are there, so I can't investigate further, but now I can go to the City God Temple at night and meet the weird things for a while.

Thinking about it, I came to the City God Temple, seeing that there was no one around, in the dead of night, I graduated from the police academy and still had some skills to climb over the wall and enter the hospital.

During the day, the forensic doctor transported Guan Erye and the body inside the statue back to the police force, but I knew that the thing must have been left in the City God Temple.

From here to the police station, you have to pass through Wanghua Palace, this thing will never dare to follow through Wanghua Palace, although the current gods are not very careful, but these evil things are only too public.

As soon as I entered the City God Temple, I collided with Du Group, in the dead of night, both of them were scared, but fortunately we covered each other's mouths in time and did not wake up the staff in the City God Temple.

"Lin Xuan, what are you doing in the City God Temple in the middle of the night?" Du Group asked a little angrily.

"I, I'm here to solve the case,"

"Solve the case? You kid is sneaky, you don't say a word during the day, and honestly, do you have any discoveries? ”

Although I have always had a good relationship with Du Group, I still can't let him know the identity of my monster, so I had to change the conversation and ask: "Du Group, don't keep talking about me, what do you want to do in this kind of place in the middle of the night?" ”

Du Group looked around and whispered: "Just you kid ghost, let me tell you that this City God Temple is very mysterious, and the corpse in the statue of Guan Erye today is not an ordinary corpse. ”

"Not an ordinary corpse? What else could that be a corpse? ”

"It's a living corpse!"

"Alive, alive?"

Although I have never heard of such a thing as a living corpse, but Du Group can know this kind of thing, which means that Du Group is not an ordinary person, and Du Group does not seem to be very surprised by my appearance, which can't help but make my heart beat a drum.

Du Group looked back at me, wanting to ask something, but didn't ask, only continued to whisper: "My ancestor is a Taoist, since I was a child, my grandfather taught me a lot of exorcism charms, although I can't see the strangeness in the statue, but I can feel that this thing is very unusual today." ”

Du Group's words surprised me a little, I followed him for four years but never knew that he would catch ghosts, in the past, when we encountered unsolvable murders, we always joked that it would not be a ghost to do, every time Du Group was determined to tell us to firmly believe in materialism, who would have thought that his ancestors were Taoists.

"You kid, I found out that you were different from the day I beat you into the serious crime team, you honestly told me, you kid, do you have yin and yang eyes?"

"Yin and Yang Eyes?" I looked at Du Group suspiciously, "What is Yin Yang Eye?" ”

"What are you kid pretending to be, did you see anything on the statue during the day?"

"This," I paused, since Du Group thought I had yin and yang eyes, then I might as well plan it and follow Du Group's words and replied: "I just saw a cloud of black gas, and I didn't see anything else." ”

"Black gas?" Du Group's eyebrows tightened, and he looked around, "It seems that there are really unjust souls in this place!" ”

"Wronged souls?" I nervously pulled the corner of my shirt, "Don't scare me on the big night." ”

"What am I scaring you for, my ancestors are Taoists, and I came tonight to catch ghosts."

I stared for a long time in the direction of the City God Temple.

"How's it going, do you see anything?"

I shook my head, "It seems to be gone, I can't see anything." ”

Du Group's eyebrows tightened, "Sure enough, it's a cunning little ghost, fortunately, I am well prepared for your team leader." ”

Du Group smiled at me, as if he was playing with some bad idea.

"Du Group, is the ghost you said true, you haven't told me about you catching ghosts before?" I looked at Du Group suspiciously, although I was a monster, I had never seen a ghost in the real sense, and I was even an atheist under the education of strong materialist ideas.

Du Group looked back at me, and then said very seriously: "I didn't want you to know that I can hunt ghosts because many people in this world don't want to believe in the existence of ghosts, just like they don't believe in the existence of demons and gods in this world. ”

"Are there still demons and gods in this world?"

"Of course," Du Gu nodded affirmatively, "Your kid has yin and yang eyes, and he is a genius of cultivation, I will tell you this in the future, now we have to catch ghosts." ”

Du Gu took out some strange things from the bag behind him, such as a compass, a talisman, a peachwood sword, and a black donkey's hooves.

"These are all for ghost hunting?" I looked at the things that Du Group took out curiously, and I couldn't help but beat a drum in my heart, although the demons and ghosts are different, but for these things, I am still afraid.

Du Group suddenly looked up at me with bad intentions, "There is one most important thing that has not been brought in. ”

"What?" I asked curiously.

"Remember that ancient corpse during the day?"

"Of course, it's the one inside the statue."

"Well," Du Group nodded, "it's a living corpse." ”

"Living corpses?" I looked at Du Group in surprise and asked curiously, "Is this corpse still alive or dead?" ”

"Of course, there are many ways to die for this person, but only after the death of a person with deep resentment, his body can be turned into a living corpse."

"Oh," I nodded, "and the black gas I saw during the day is the resentment of this living corpse?" ”

"You're not too stupid," Du Group patted me on the shoulder with his hand, "This living corpse is different from ordinary dead corpses, living corpses are angry, corpses are not easy to decay, and many powerful ghosts rely on this corpse to gather anger." ”

"What does Du Group mean to use that living corpse to lure out the ghosts hiding in the City God Temple?"

Du Group looked at me with an appreciative expression, "The understanding is very high, the corpse is outside, see how you behave?" ”

"Huh?" I looked at Du Group with a reluctant face, "I'm going?" ”

"If you don't go, can it be done, I'll go?"

"This," Du Group's words made me speechless, how to say that he is also a leader, this bit of face still has to be given to him, otherwise he will inevitably wear his little shoes in the group in the future.

Although the corpse was tightly wrapped in a plastic bag, the smell of corpse it emitted was really unbearable for ordinary people.

"Du Group, the body has been brought, and then it's up to you to perform."

Du Group was simply, he picked up the spirit talisman that had been prepared, and pasted the corpse to the water.

"Du Group, how do you use this thing?" I looked at the spirit talisman that Du Group had attached to the corpse and asked.

"You stare at this corpse, after a while I will drive the spirit rune, and the ghost will come out when he senses the anger, and then you tell me the location of the ghost, and I will use this heaven and earth net to catch him."

"Understood."

The first cooperation with the Du group can be said to be very successful, after the ghost fell we left the City God Temple to go home, under the persecution of the Du group, I carried the corpse back to the police station, after the corpse was placed, it was only one or two hours before dawn.

In the police station, I looked at Du Group with incredible eyes, this kind of thing was like a fantasy for me in the past, but now the ghost is really in the cloth bag in Du Group's hand.

Du Group raised his head and glanced at me, that was the code for us to examine suspects in the past, usually two people sang in duet with red and white faces, but in the past, it was a trial, and now we are facing a powerful ghost, I am still a little frightened in my heart, and I don't know what to do.

"Lin Xuan, shouldn't we try this angry guy now?"

I have been working with the Du group for many years, and I blurted out the usual clichΓ©s: "Trial, how can you not try it, in order to catch this guy, I am covered in corpses, if I can't ask why I came today, I will eat him alive." ”

"Oh, I can't see it, you kid still swallows ghosts like this?"

"That is, in the past, there was Zhong Kui to subdue demons, and now there is me Lin Xuan angrily devouring ghosts!"

While talking and laughing, the guy was already trembling with fear from me and Du Group, "Lin Xuan, then let's start!" ”

Du Group glanced at it and signaled that I could start coercing and luring the criminals.

"Little ghost, tell me, how long have you been hiding in the City God Temple?"

"No, don't remember?" The resentful spirit floated outside the cloth bag, and was captured by such a magic weapon, which can be described as a great disaster for a little ghost like it.

"Don't remember? Du group, he said he didn't remember. ”

Du Group glanced at the ghost impatiently, and said, "If you don't remember, forget it, you swallow him, swallow it." ”

"Daoguang, I was sealed alive in the statue during the Daoguang period."

"Daoguang, it must have been more than a hundred years, right?"

The wandering ghost nodded weakly.

"Who sealed you in this statue of Second Master Guan?" Du continued to cross-examine.

"Enemy."

"Nonsense," I glared at the unjust ghost, "it's not the enemy who can seal you alive in this statue, tell me, what kind of enemy is it?" ”

"His surname is Xu, his name is Xu Jun, he is a local bully, at that time he buried me alive in the statue in order to occupy my fiancΓ©e, and before he died, I set up a grudge to make his Xu family descendants not have peace for generations."

"Curses?" I looked at the Du group suspiciously.

"This curse is a curse, and a person who has passed away with great resentment will make a curse before he dies, and this curse usually requires the curse person to gather a large amount of anger to be effective."
