It was another dusk, and the setting sun was shining on this old street, and the children were holding hands and getting on the bus one by one under the escort of the teacher. The people who got off work rode small electric donkeys, crowded the bus, and returned to their habitats one after another. Migrant workers who had been tired all day also came to the barbecue stall to prepare for their dinner. It's only been 3 days since the murder happened here, and everything that was thrilling three days ago seems to have been forgotten by people, and time can easily erase everything. It's like nothing has changed, and it's like everything has changed. It's just that there is bound to be another talking point here.

Zhang Di sat in the car, looking at the people coming and going and everything that happened here, remembering the murder three days ago, and suddenly had a trance-like feeling, as if everything was just his own hallucination. The blurred flesh and burnt thighs are just a dream after watching a horror movie, otherwise, why is people's ability to forget so strong, and why do people always have the courage to face the rest of life after seeing that murderous thing.

The barbecue stall is full of people, there is a lot of traffic here, the price is favorable, and the owner and his wife are also very real, so the business is very good every day. Even if there was a murder in the annex. Zhang Di saw a greasy barbecue table full of people, and the person who was talking was a man with only one eye, who looked thin and thin, as if he was telling a story. Seeing that it caused other people's relationships, he became even more excited, so he simply stood up, poured a big sip of beer, and then spat and said.

Zhang Di sat in the car, and only vaguely heard something like "madman", "thigh", "acting for the tiger" and the like. His intuition told him that what he was talking about had something to do with the barbecue stall cannibalism. He hesitated, trying to get the greasy tables and chairs out of his mind, took a deep breath, got out of the car, and began to stride like a barbecue stand.

He came to the barbecue stand, tried to push away the people in front of him, found a suitable corner, and began to listen to the thin man gossip. The man said that he danced with his hands, and the people around him also listened to it with relish. The man's voice was sharp and thin, and just sounding it gave people goosebumps, not to mention that he was still talking about a homicide.

The thin man stared at his already bulging eyes, like a big praying mantis, and he spat on the ground, and began to pick up the topic just now. He glanced around and said mysteriously, "Do you know why that madman suddenly started eating people? That's not what he thinks, it's the 'ghost' who wants to eat, the 'ghost' is attached to him, he can't control himself, so he can only act according to the intention of the 'ghost'. "Wait, wait, I don't understand, what is a 'ghost'?" The thin man seemed to have guessed that he would ask this, and said proudly: "You don't know this, the legend is that the ghosts are those unjust souls who died in vain, after they were killed, their bodies were thrown into mass graves or deep mountains, and became the tiger's mouth, and after death, they could not be reborn, so they could only become the tiger's subordinates and do evil things for them." ”

Someone listened to his explanation and began to laugh: "Don't talk nonsense, where are the tigers now, it's still deep in the mountains, won't the police find it if they kill someone?" At first glance, you made it up. The thin black man was robbed of white, glared at the man, and explained angrily: "What do you know? Now, of course, it's impossible to see a tiger easily, but in the past, this ghost is a demon who has lived for at least 100 years. The mana is boundless, and ordinary mages can't subdue it. ”

"It's so powerful, then he won't run out and hurt people again, right?"

"I didn't know that, I heard that the homeless man was mentally ill and was sent to a nursing home and locked up. Although the ghost is powerful, he has a bad brain and no IQ, and I suspect that the homeless man became stupid and crazy because he possessed him. ”

Hearing the sanatorium, the corners of Zhang Di's eyes twitched, and he said in his heart: Why is it so coincidental. But soon he silently suppressed his surprise. Hearing this, it was just some weird legends, Zhang Di was not in the mood to listen to it, and turned around and returned to his car directly.

Opening the car door, he sat directly in, sighed, but suddenly found that there was an extra person in the co-pilot, he was startled, and asked me, "How did you get in." I leaned back in my chair and let out a long sigh of relief, then winked at him and said lightly, "I realize that I have one more ability to think about it, I can go straight through the wall." Zhang Di opened his mouth incredulously, and then looked at me carefully: "No, you, what are you pregnant?" I picked up the pillow from his car and walked over to him: "Shut your crow's mouth." He took the pillow and smiled, and then said to me with a serious face: "But you have been pregnant for a few months, why is your belly not big at all." Did you go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup? ”

Hearing Zhang Di's reminder, I looked at my flat small size, and then shook my head: "No, I'm not pregnant with a human child, how dare I go to the hospital, but this child is fine, I can feel him moving." Zhang Di listened to my words and said, "Okay, but why do you suddenly have another ability, you won't have nothing to do to play through the wall, right?" ”

I shook my head, leaned in close to him, and said in a low voice, "I'm being followed." "What?" Zhang Di was surprised. I quickly covered his mouth and looked around cautiously to see that there was nothing unusual around me before letting go of him: "You be quiet." ”

I told him what happened: "After I used the spirit bell to summon the little girl for questioning, I found that there was a man in black hiding at the mouth of the alley, I walked outside, and he followed me quietly all the way, of course I would not return the same way, so I simply ran along the unfamiliar alley, I did not get rid of him all the way, and finally I was very unfortunate to turn into a dead end." I thought this was over, but I didn't give up, and I wanted to climb up the wall, but I tried to get out of the wall. Dump him like that, and then I'll hide back in the car and wait for you. ”

Zhang Di listened to my story and asked, "Do you remember what he looks like?" ”

I smiled wryly, I didn't see him at all, he was dressed in black all over, and his face was also masked, and I couldn't see anything except his eyes.

I thought about it and said to him: "His face was covered, I didn't see it, but I can be sure that he is a grown man, very strong, looks fit, and must be a local, he is very familiar with his surroundings, and I have a feeling that he is forcing me into a dead end along the way." ”

Zhang Di listened to my analysis and said, "Then what should we do next?" I folded my hands behind my back, used it as a pillow, then closed my eyes and said slowly: "I don't know, let's rest today first, and then think about it tomorrow." "The moment I closed my eyes, a dark figure sneaked through the alley and walked into the alley. Seeing his disappearing figure, Zhang Di instantly raised his vigilance, and he woke me up: "I saw that person, your guess is really right." ”

"He is really bold, he dares to run back here openly, and he is not afraid of others finding out." When I opened my eyes, they were sharp again.

Zhang Di pondered for a while and said: "If I were him, if I could stay here openly after committing a crime, there must be an identity that will not arouse suspicion to support me." Are you right? ”

"That means he's a person who can't easily arouse suspicion, who could he be?" I looked at Zhang Di and asked a little puzzled.

Zhang Di shook his head: "I'm just guessing, and I don't know anything else." Are we going back now? ”

"Nope. Take a look at the school. "I changed my mind. Zhang Di nodded, started the car directly, and drove me to school.

Now it was completely dark, and the school after school was devoid of the children's laughter and silence, which was in stark contrast to the bustle of the day. The middle-aged school worker sat in the guard room, watching the boring eight-o'clock TV series, his upper and lower eyelids fought, and he was already drowsy, but now is not a good time to sleep, the time to get off work has not yet arrived, if he is caught, this month's bonus will be in vain. The wages of school workers are already low, and they can only barely make ends meet, and if they are detained, their lives will be even more stretched. The middle-aged school worker made a cup of strong tea and carried it out of the guard room, ready to let the cool breeze outside blow and sober up his mind.

He looked around with some cloudy eyes, and suddenly found that there were two more people outside the doorman, a man and a woman, the woman was very beautiful, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a hot body. He couldn't help but look at her a few more times, the man didn't look so conspicuous, ordinary appearance and figure, I don't know how long they stood outside, I don't know why, he felt that these two people didn't look so simple, thinking of the things of the past few days, he was a little panicked, he coughed twice, and said in a rough voice to the two people: Hurry back, what are you two idlers doing in the school at night?

Listening to his words, the man did not react, and the woman looked up at him, a smile on the corner of her mouth. For some reason, even though the woman was smiling at her, he could easily see the mockery in her eyes.

I looked at the panicked appearance of the school worker, and confirmed my guess even more, deliberately slowed down my pace, and walked towards him slowly, my high heels rhythmically tapping on the ground, disintegrating his psychology step by step, he couldn't hide.

I walked in front of the school worker, and clearly saw that his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and I saw the panic in his eyes, and refused to let him go: What benefits did Zhang Luoluo give you to make you perjury for her?
