Chapter 19: Homicide in a Small Hotel
After saying that, I ran to my parents' room, and then found the money they had saved for me in the closet, including passbooks and cash, all in an iron box, and I didn't take it out, I just put the iron box in my backpack, and then I came out and locked the door and prepared to leave for the city.
"Grandma, let's go!" When I was at the gate of He Yanran's yard, I shouted to her grandmother inside.
She nodded and didn't speak, I knew that she was reluctant to He Yanran and didn't want to look sad, so she didn't come out to see us off.
I was just walking on the main road in the village, but I happened to run into Wu Yang, I wanted to think that I didn't see it, but he still came to talk to us.
"Zhang Xiaobei, I heard that you made a fuss with the village chief's house yesterday, right?"
I knew that he couldn't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth, so why did I turn the village chief's house upside down? I saved their family.
But I didn't pay attention to him, and without giving him an answer, I was ready to bypass him and walk towards the entrance of the village.
As a result, he followed us like a ghost, and said: "Why, I don't dare to answer, tell you that you are finished, you have offended the village chief!" ”
"Wu Yang, are you finished? It's okay to go home. He Yanran was impatient.
"What? Are you unhappy about your love brother? No, which is the love brother, obviously the love brother, haha, by the way, the two of you are going to elope? Wu Yang said with a smile there.
I looked at Fang and Madoka to the side, and motioned for them to help me fix him.
The two little ghosts nodded and glared at Wu Yang, and then I said to him with a look of disgust: "Eating for breakfast?" Mouth so stinky? ”
"Zhang Xiaobei, you're a ......" Wu Yang was blown in his ear by Xiaoyuan before he finished speaking.
Immediately, Wu Yang shuddered for a moment, then turned his head to look at it, and said, "What was it just now?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just two nasty ghosts, they like to pester the kind of people who have nothing to do all day and spray feces everywhere, you have to be careful, they will come to you at night!" I pretended to be serious.
After listening to my words, Xiao Fang blew on the other side of Wu Yang's ear and whispered, "See you at night, don't sleep, wait for me!" ”
"Ahh Wu Yang scratched his ear a few times in a frenzy, then glared at me and said, "Zhang Xiaobei, you, you are the disaster star?" No wonder the whole village is avoiding you, phew! Then he turned and ran away.
Seeing him running away, He Yanran and I looked at each other and smiled, and then went to the entrance of the village to wait for the van to go to the town.
"Zhang Xiaobei, you can also buy a car in the future, otherwise it will be a little uncomfortable for our lineup to squeeze the van." Tan Xiao said to me.
I glanced at her, "You pay for it, I'll open it!" ”
Seeing me suddenly speaking into the air, He Yanran was stunned for a moment, but she didn't ask me, she just lowered her head and listened to the ground.
Actually, I sometimes want to explain to her, but she doesn't ask, and I don't know where to start, mainly because I don't really want her to know that I have a female ghost next to me.
"Two, are you going to town?" We were standing there, and it wasn't long before a van came, and seeing that we were holding our luggage, the driver in the car stopped and asked.
"yes, to town." I replied.
"Let's get in the car, just enough to sit two of you." The driver said and helped us open the door.
Seeing that he was going to take such a car, Tan Xiao was a little disgusted, so he said, "Forget it, you can sit, I'll go to the town and wait for you first." ”
I nodded and didn't speak, although she didn't buy a ticket when she got on the bus, there were a few ghosts there, and I would feel crowded when I looked at it.
Sitting in the car, I closed my eyes and was about to squint for a while, but suddenly I heard two people in the back row chatting and said, "Yes, I heard that there are dead people again, I don't know how many they are?" ”
Hearing this, I opened my eyes and looked at the two little ghosts on the side, and they also shook their heads.
Seeing that they didn't know, I continued to listen.
Soon someone asked, "Are you talking about the former mental hospital in town?" ”
"That's right, how many people have died here, why haven't I found anyone to take a look!"
"I've looked for it, it's useless, now many of those onmyoji are charlatans, and I'm scared when I go!"
"So that's it?"
"Who knows!"
Listening to their chat, I looked at He Yanran, who looked down at her phone, as if she wasn't interested in their topic.
I typed it on my phone and said, "Did you hear what they said?" ”
She nodded, and then I wrote, "Have you heard of it?"
She nodded again, then leaned over and whispered to me, "It's very weird there, once a high school classmate of mine went there with a group of people to find excitement, and then died not long after, and the body was found there." ”
As soon as I heard that there was such a thing, I whispered, "Do you not care about patrolling?" ”
"I can't care about it, the autopsy said that I was frightened by what I saw, and then fell downstairs and died." He Yanran said to me.
That's really no way, ordinary people can't see those ghosts, and they can't care about them.
But since Hades didn't order me to take them away, then I don't need to get involved in this matter, because existence is reasonable, so there should be a reason why Hades didn't let them go down.
I didn't think I was asking too much, and when it was almost noon in town, I was ready to go find a restaurant to eat.
But just as we finished ordering, we saw several patrol cars speeding up.
"What's going on?" He Yanran looked outside with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know, something should have happened!" I replied.
However, at this time, Tan Xiao appeared, and said to me with a very tired look: "Zhang Xiaobei, something happened!" ”
"What's the matter?" I asked directly.
He Yanran glanced at me, saw me talking next to me, and then turned around to look outside.
"There's a homicide in a hotel next door!" Tan Xiao said to me.
I was stunned for a moment, and then whispered, "When did it happen?" ”
"It should have happened last night, and today it was time to check out, and the waiter knocked on the door to remind him, but no one opened the door, and no one answered, so he went to get the key to open it, and saw blood all over the ground and a corpse lying in a pool of blood." Tan Xiao said to me.
I gasped, thinking that this murderer was too bold.
But what does this have to do with me? Could it be that the ghost of the victim is unwilling to leave? Seeing that Tan Xiao was still panting, I was also quite puzzled, so I asked, "Aren't you a ghost?" Why are you still so tired? ”
"Why don't you try to run back and forth between the underworld and the yang for a while?" She replied to me.
"Okay!" I don't know why she made so many trips, but there should be something.
"Xiaobei, do you want to go and see?" Seeing that I seemed to have almost communicated, He Yanran asked me.
I nodded, "You'll eat it first when it's served, I'll go over and take a look, and there's something here, you watch." ”
"Okay, but I'll let them serve the food later, I'll wait for you to come and eat together." He Yanran said to me.
"It's okay, you can eat first when you're hungry, don't wait for me." As I spoke, I called Tan Xiao and the two little ghosts to the hotel next to me.
But just when I arrived at the door, Lin Chuan saw me, and came to greet me and said, "Zhang Xiaobei, why are you here?" ”
"I went out to make a living, not long after I got out of the car, I ate at a restaurant next to me, and then I saw your patrol car coming, so I came out to have a look." I didn't say I came here on a mission.
When he heard this, he leaned over and whispered to me, "Do you see something that we can't see?" ”
Seeing that he understood, I told him the truth: "I haven't seen it yet, so I guess the ghost of the deceased is unwilling to go down, otherwise I wouldn't have been called." ”
"Are you going to go to the scene?" He asked me.
I looked at him, "Can I go and see?" ”
"Okay, I'll tell them it's fine." Lin Chuan said and asked me to go in with him.
When I came to the upstairs guest room, I smelled a smell of blood from afar, so I put my hand in front of my nose to block it.
Seeing that I couldn't smell it, Lin Chuan went to get me a mask, "Put it on, it's generally uncomfortable to encounter this kind of thing in summer, and it smells big." ”
I nodded, it was true that it was a little hard to accept that someone like me who had never encountered this situation before.
But that's not the most important thing, the important thing is that I thought I had seen a corpse in our village yesterday, so it wouldn't be good to see you today.
So when I thought I could accept the accident at the door of the guest room, looking at the blood in the place and the corpse in the middle, I suddenly shivered, and then when I saw the corpse's face and the fleshy knife wound on the stomach, suddenly I felt a feeling of nausea from the bottom up.
I quickly turned around and didn't dare to look at it again, and covered my mouth and said to Lin Chuan: "Why don't you deal with it first, I'm a little ......"
Seeing that I couldn't stand it, Lin Chuan came over and patted me on the back, "It's good to get used to it, when we first encountered this kind of thing, we were just like you." ”
"Really? It's cruel, but I didn't see a ghost in the room, so I must have followed the man who killed him. I said with my back inside.
"Really? Then you mean that this is similar to Zhao Xue's case, as long as you find the person who his ghost is following, you should be able to determine who is the murderer? Lin Chuan asked.
I nodded, "That should be, but it's not entirely certain if his ghost is now following the man who killed him." ”
"Why?" Lin Chuan asked.
"Because it depends on the depth of his personal grievances, if he is also at fault in this matter, and he feels that his death is expected, he may not go to the person who killed him, but to see his parents or his wife and children or something." I explained to him.
Lin Chuan thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said to me: "That's the ghost's own thoughts, but the living must still seek the truth, and his family won't just forget it." ”
