Chapter 8: The Ghost Keeper (I)
When I came to the office, it was Zhang Xiaojie on duty, but what I didn't expect was that there was a very beautiful girl here.
At first, I was shocked that I thought there was another case. As a result, I remembered that Zhang Xiaojie said in the morning that there was a trainee policewoman in the office, and I don't know why I didn't go home so late.
I rushed to the office, and Zhang Xiaojie and the new girl were eating in Uncle Wang's house. Because there was no one in the office, most of the time we worked the night shift to get some food for ourselves in Uncle Wang's house.
The girl's name is Qi Yuying, and when I first saw her, I was still a little surprised. As soon as I chatted, I didn't expect that I was a person from the same city, and when I was about to graduate, I was put in this Qingyang town for an internship.
I laughed and said, you really won the lottery, China is so big, you were exiled to this place where birds don't, it's really fate.
After gossiping for a while, I asked Zhang Xiaojie if he knew how Li Quanfeng died three years ago.
Zhang Xiaojie was surprised that I would suddenly ask this question, glanced at Qi Yuying, scratched her hair and said, "We investigated and said that he was burned to death." How? What did you find? Hasn't this case been taken over by the criminal police team? ”。
I didn't bother to explain, let him explain it specifically.
Qi Yuying, this girl, somehow, heard the conversation between the two of us, and Teng suddenly came to her senses. looked at Zhang Xiaojie intently on the side, waiting for him to continue.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Xiaojie also came to the momentum, and told me everything he knew.
I stripped away the scary words he used to trick girls, and I probably came to a conclusion.
Li Quanfeng is an alcoholic who usually has nothing to do and no proper job. He was once imprisoned for two years for stealing, and he didn't change his mind after he came out.
There is only one woman in his sixties at home, and the mother and son depend on each other for a very hard time, but Li Quanfeng is uneducated, so his mother doesn't care about his affairs.
One night, Li Quanfeng was drinking in the town, and when he drank too much, he smoked on the way home and lit a stack of wheat straw and burned himself to death.
There is nothing strange about this kind of thing, and the family buried the person without reporting the crime.
I listened to him and chuckled. burned to death, that is to say, whether the person who died at that time was Li Quanfeng or not, there is no absolute evidence.
At that time, his family did not report the crime and obtained a death certificate. There are not a few people who have accidents because of drinking, and some people are frozen to death because they have drunk too much and slept in the field. Because Li Quanfeng drank too much wine, he accidentally ignited the wheat straw and burned himself to death while resting on the wheat straw stack, which is nothing to doubt.
But to me, it made it difficult for me to calm down. I think my guess may be right.
Han Songxia's case has been transferred, and it is absolutely impossible for Director Zhao to intervene in the investigation again because of my suspicions. Now in this year, we all believe in the principle that more things are better than less.
Zhang Xiaojie asked me why I was so concerned about this case.
I said, just curious.
I thought of the deceased who was almost ignored by me, and asked Zhang Xiaojie, do you have a photo of Li Hui in your hand?
Zhang Xiaojie shook his head and said no. I asked him again, why did you tell me that there were two people who died? What about the other person? It can't be eaten.
Zhang Xiaojie said, it's two people. Li Quanfeng, Han Songxia... Well? When he said this, he was puzzled. In less than ten seconds, I saw that his eyes began to turn blank, as if he had fallen into a state of madness, and I did not hesitate to slap him.
With a "snap", I hit hard. But Zhang Xiaojie didn't feel excessive at all.
There was an incredible look on his face and he said, There is also a Li Hui, I don't know why I almost ignored this name.
It's fucking weird, why did the two of us think the dead were two people in the first place? Why didn't we pay too much attention to this Li Hui?
What makes us both careless at the same time? What's hidden in this?
I asked Uncle Wang, how many people died when the case was filed in the office a few days ago?
I knew that Uncle Wang must know this, so I asked him this. After all, we will come to him to talk when we are fine, and I think even if there are a few people in the office who have a case in hand, they will still come here, and Uncle Wang should have heard about this case, at least the basics should know.
Unexpectedly, this time, Uncle Wang looked at me and Zhang Xiaojie incredulously and said, the deceased is obviously two people, why do you two say three people. If you don't believe it, ask Director Zhao and they go.
I looked at Zhang Xiaojie in disbelief, is this kid lying to me? She told me the name Li Hui, and most likely he was lying.
No, I know Zhang Xiaojie's personality, and I will never do this kind of thing. Things get more complicated.
There are still three days to go, and only I am the only one to investigate this matter. I looked up and saw that Zhang Xiaojie was puzzled, but he didn't forget to be courteous in front of Qi Yuying, and I really couldn't find a reason to pull him into the water.
Lu Tao may be a good candidate, capable, exciting, the key is bold. But he has a family and a room, and he can't let his family accompany him on an adventure.
I asked Wang Bo Li Quanfeng about the disappearance that night, but I didn't find anything. I didn't stop long and went back to my rental house.
That night, after I sorted out everything, Li Hui's existence was a bit suspenseful, so I was going to find Li Quanfeng's clue first, and then inquire about Li Hui's clue from the side.
I decided to visit Li Jiatuozi tomorrow.
I have a habit of sleeping on my stomach when I sleep, and my hands naturally reach under the pillow. Just as I was turning off the lights and getting ready to go to bed, I suddenly felt two objects under my pillow.
I didn't turn on the light, I turned on my phone and looked at it through the faint light, and I immediately got goosebumps.
A mirror and a red comb appeared under my pillow. I've seen both things, and they were given to me by the fake Lu Tao when I was in Li's house that night. Same.
I definitely don't have these two things in my house. Could it be that the ghost is coming to me again?
I quickly turned on the lights and surveyed the room, which was only a dozen square meters. The room, which is usually clear at a glance, sounds a little terrifying at this time.
I took out my phone and called Feijing to tell me about my situation. The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Ghosts usually don't come out until twelve o'clock at night, but now it's more than ten o'clock." I'm sure the mirror and the comb weren't put in today. ”。
I said can you be reliable, the day I met the living dead was less than twelve o'clock.
He said, I'm talking about ghosts, not living corpses, what are you fighting with me?
I was speechless when I heard this, and after thinking about it, I asked him what to do if the living corpse came.
Feijing seems to be drinking over there, and his tongue seems to be a little big when he speaks, and he said, if it's a living corpse, don't be afraid, you just treat him as Tyson.
I listened to the babble, damn, is this the rhythm that wants me to die?
Fortunately, Feijing also knew my skills, and changed his words: "Living corpses are just like people, are you still afraid?" Besides, according to your account, the living corpse still seems to be a handicap. Rest assured, give yourself some confidence, you can handle it. ”。
With that, he hung up the phone. I finally couldn't help but scold my mother after hearing a blind voice on my phone.
Don't sleep here tonight, I cleaned up and went to the police station, wanting to spend the night with Uncle Wang.
Fortunately, Uncle Wang didn't kick me out.
The next day, before dawn, I got up and prepared to go to Li's house.
I didn't eat the breakfast that Uncle Wang prepared for me, and left in a hurry.
To be honest, I really want to meet Qi Yuying yesterday, after all, she is the age of blood and strength, who doesn't want to get up in the morning with an eye-catching beauty by her side?
When I passed by the cemetery of the Li family again, although it was daytime, I still felt a chill running up and down my body.
I let go of the mess and continued on my way.
On the way, I came across an old man with a green paper lantern walking towards the cemetery.
Because I had a shadow over the graveyard, I looked at the old man twice. This person was full of white hair, senile and long-looking, and his face should be in his eighties, and he limped in the direction of Li Jiatuozi with a lantern.
I was still carrying a lantern in broad daylight, which made me scared and surprised, but I didn't think much about it.
After walking through the cemetery, I rode for more than half an hour before I saw the village of Lijiatuozi. Anyway, this is a lonely village, and there are no people at all.
One of the more than 30 houses in the village was built behind the village. From my current vantage point, the lonely house looked more like a larger tomb.
It was easy to find out Li Quanfeng's home address. To my surprise, Li Quanfeng's mother's life was much better than I expected.
The old man is over 60 years old, and he said that his house and these things were all organized by the village chief to get them, and there are usually a few juniors in the village to help do some farm work or something.
The old lady didn't have much of a mood swing when she heard me ask about his son. After all, people have been dead for three years, and no matter how sad they are, what can they do.
However, when I left, I still saw the old man secretly wiping his tears.
After Li Quanfeng's house came out, he still didn't have a clue, and what his mother said was exactly the same as what Zhang Xiaojie told me. I couldn't find any clues for a while.
Although Li Quanfeng is not knowledgeable, he is quite good at the way of life, and he has never formed a hatred with anyone.
This put me in a stalemate, and Feijing's words were to try to surpass the soul in the graveyard, which seemed difficult to do.
I went to Han Songxia's house again, and I didn't find anything new.
Just as I was about to leave, I accidentally asked a question. When Han Songxia's parents sent me outside the door, I inadvertently asked, "Why is the house behind the village built so remotely?" ”。
I didn't expect to receive a strange message from me.
Han Songxia's father heard my words and whispered, "Officer Yang, you don't know. The people who lived in that house were not ordinary people. He is a famous half-immortal in these ten miles and eight villages. It's normal for such people to behave strangely, and it is said that he still sleeps in a coffin. ”。
Half-immortal refers to the kind of person who can teach people to dispel evil and avoid ghosts, and Feijing is also a kind of such person.
But there are very few people like him who have real materials. Most of the half-immortals in the village are the masters of the money.
"You've seen it?" I asked him.
He waved his hand again and again and said, how dare I alarm the old man. Usually people in the village rarely see him.
The demi-immortals in the village are all said to be mysterious by the villagers, so I don't think it's strange for him to say that.
I asked him if he knew where Li Hui's home was. He shook his head and said that there was no such person in this village.
I wasn't too surprised to hear this, to be honest, it was much calmer than I expected, and it would be devastating if he told me that Li Hui was his grandmother who had been dead for thirty years.
I have a bad premonition, and I always feel that this Li Hui is the key point of the whole case. Knowing that I would never find out anything more, I nodded to him and got on my bike and left.
On the way, I called again and asked if Lu Tao knew a person named Li Hui. Lu Tao said directly that he hadn't heard of it and asked me what's wrong. I said it was okay, said some other gossip, and hung up in a hurry.
I'm not too sure if Zhang Xiaojie really said it wrong? Back to town with doubts.
When I got home, I called Feijing and said that I was suspicious here, and there was a deceased person who didn't know where he came from, and I didn't know who the ghost was. I want him to prepare first, and the day after tomorrow I will accompany me to the graveyard of the Li family to catch the harmful ghost.
I'm handling cases for people, not avenging ghosts, as long as I don't kill people anymore.
Feijing was very happy, saying that since this is the case, it has to be like this.
I thought that now that I had to ask for something from others, I would have to say a few sycophants. During the small talk, I told him that Li Jiatuozi had a half-immortal, and asked him if he wanted to visit him if he had time to visit in the past two days, after all, are you both in the same circle.
To my surprise, Feijing actually agreed. It is said that it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and today I will go over to meet this Taoist friend.
I looked at my watch at one o'clock in the afternoon, and the time was still in a hurry.
I met this fat Taoist priest in town at 2:15 a.m., and to my surprise he was riding a 125 motorcycle. In the distance, the wind galloped over, and the flying Taoist robe danced wildly with the wind, and it looked like a yellow-robed monster from afar and came to me.
I said, you're really fucking good when you go out like this. He smiled and told me to get in the car. I was even more polite, raised my leg and got into the car.
A yellow lightning roared out of Qingyang Town. On the way, I asked him why he was in such a hurry, and it wasn't like this to make friends.
He said, "I told you that you are going to the Taharamakan Desert, and you need manpower, and at this time look at what kind of person I am talking about, and if he is really a master, see if you can go with him on a long journey."
I asked him what was in the desert that was worth the long run?
He said, "You are not a cultivator, and there is a gap between heaven and earth in our industry, so don't ask."
Hearing him say this, I would be a little bored if I asked again, so I had to talk to him about something else.
The flying mirror motorcycle drove very quickly, and it took less than half an hour for us to see the cemetery of the Li family.
Looking at it from afar, the dozens of tombs were there, and there was a kind of weirdness in the desolation.
The mirror stopped at the edge of the graveyard and looked at him for a long time, as if he had found something.
"What? Let's take a look at the battlefield first? I joked, thinking that the day after tomorrow he promised me that he would hunt ghosts here.
Feijing smiled bitterly when he heard me say this, and said, "This is a corpse breeding ground, which was deliberately laid down by someone. It seems that someone is raising ghosts here. You kid can really find trouble for me, it's not good to fight ghosts, but you have to fight people again. ”。
Raise ghosts! It's a word that makes people's scalps tingle when they hear it.
Feijing suddenly asked me, are all the graves here from the Li family?
I nodded.
He asked me again, is the population of the Li family particularly small?
"I don't know if it's very little, but it's definitely not much." I think of the thirty or so houses, which are really sparsely populated compared to other villages.
"That's not surprising," Flying Mirror muttered.
Suddenly, he looked me in the eye and said, "Fortunately, you found me, otherwise the young man of the Li family might have died in two years." ”。
"What's going on?" I asked.
Feijing turned his head to look at me and said, "Tonight, I'll take you here to hunt ghosts." Now all we have to do is go to the ghost keeper. ”。
He smiled, and suddenly said, "If the police don't want to do it, you might as well follow me as a Taoist priest." It can also contribute to the country."
Can a Taoist priest contribute to the country? Lao Tzu was very skeptical.
