The hospital conducted a comprehensive examination of Zhang Xiaoqiang, and all indicators such as body temperature, blood, X-ray, and CT were normal. Zhang Xiaoqiang remained unconscious, and the doctor searched through the medical skills and consulted experts, but could not find any explanation. He did not eat or drink, and like a vegetative person, the doctor adopted a conservative and steady therapy, infusing him with glucose and sodium chloride injections to maintain the basic energy needed for life.

The workers all said that Zhang Xiaoqiang had hit an evil spirit, and Hu Kehao would also be suspicious. He also bumped into evil when he was a child, and his symptoms were similar to Zhang Xiaoqiang's. Hu Kehao came to the doctor's office and told the doctor his opinion. The doctor disagreed, criticizing him: "Today, when medicine is so developed, you still believe in these strange things, it's ridiculous!" ”

"It is better to believe what you have than not to believe what you don't. There are a lot of things that science can't explain today. Hu Kehao said.

"Then what are your ideas and countermeasures?" The doctor asked.

"You can ask the clergy to come to the ward to exorcise evil spirits, maybe his illness will be cured."

"It's a goddess, isn't it? Not a clergyman! The doctor looked disdainful.

"If the hospital doesn't mind, I think you can give it a try, it's not a bad thing anyway."

"It's ridiculous! We are a dignified tertiary hospital, how can we allow you to do such inexplicable things? If you want to do this, please go home and do it, don't tarnish the image of our hospital! The doctor said sternly.

Fortunately, the doctor did not know that Hu Kehao worked in a university, otherwise it would affect his image. Hu Kehao came out of the hospital and asked Tang Meng about Zhang Xiaoqiang's whereabouts yesterday, and was going to conduct a secret investigation to see if he could find anything.

Hu Kehao followed Zhang Xiaoqiang's walking route yesterday, first to the vegetable market, and then to the stinky water river, the time was unitary, and Zhang Xiaoqiang came here yesterday. Hu Kehao walked a few hundred meters along the stinky water river and came to a fork in the road, which was very remote and there were no traffic lights. All kinds of vehicles are rampage, scrambling to be the first. Some pedestrians crossed the road in groups, and the grumpy drivers cursed.

Hu Kehao was about to cross the street when a young man sitting on a bench on the side of the road shouted to him, "Big brother, don't be in such a hurry, let's sit down and chat." ”

"It's getting late, let's go home quickly!"

"I broke my foot just now and can't walk, big brother, can you help me?" The young man said.

Hu Kehao came to the young man's side, saw a bruise on his foot, and indeed had difficulty walking, and asked, "Brother, is it serious?" Or I'll call the emergency services for you. ”

"No, I heard that the doctors are very busy and they can't get rest on holidays, so I won't bother them! Give them more time to spend with their families. My foot is not serious, you help me across the road, and I can slowly move back! I didn't want to trouble you, but there were many cars at the fork in the road, and I didn't dare to go there! The young man said.

Hu Kehao knew that if he saw his grandmother falling, he should be careful when he helped her up. The immediate thing is to help young people cross the road, and it should be no problem and will not be blackmailed. Hu Kehao put the young man's left hand on his shoulder, saw that there was no car at the fork in the road, and helped him slowly cross the road.

The young man was very grateful to Hu Kehao and said: "I also broke my foot yesterday, sat on a stool at the fork in the road, met two young people who were buying vegetables, and wanted to ask them to help me cross the road, but they didn't help!" What a low moral quality! ”

"And how do you cross the street?" Hu Kehao asked.

"If they don't help me, I'll have to find someone else! So found you today! The young man said.

Hu Kehao felt that the young man was talking very strangely: What is looking for someone? Find someone to do? He noticed a loophole in the young man's words and asked, "Did you break your foot yesterday?" ”

"Yes."

"Has that foot recovered yesterday? You broke your foot again today? Why did you break your feet for two days? Did you not pay attention to your foot? Or is it a deliberate plan? ”

The young man couldn't turn his head for a while, and said, "I broke my foot yesterday and didn't complete my plan, so I had to break my foot again today and continue to complete my plan." ”

"What are your plans?" Hu Kehao asked.

"Just find a stand-in!"

"What stand-in?"

"You'll find out right away!" The young man said.

Hu Kehao suddenly found that he had been chatting with the young man for a long time, but he was still helping him cross the street. The road is not wide, why hasn't it been finished yet? As soon as the young man finished speaking, he felt that there was no load on his shoulders, and the hand of the young man on his shoulder was gone, and the young man was gone.

Hu Kehao stared intently across the road when suddenly a van sped up and got closer and closer to him. When Hu Kehao noticed it, it was too late to dodge. The truck spotted someone in front of it and slammed on the brakes. A sharp sound of brakes pierced the sky, and the truck stopped about fifty centimeters away from Hu Kehao. Hu Kehao had a glittering object hanging from his body, which caught the attention of the truck driver. The driver braked urgently and avoided a traffic accident.

Hu Kehao seemed to understand all this: the disappeared young man was supposed to be a dead ghost who had died in a traffic accident and was looking for a stand-in. Yesterday, after Zhang Xiaoqiang and Tang Meng were shopping for groceries, they passed by the fork in the road, and the young man pretended to have broken his foot and wanted the two of them to help him cross the road, and then caused a traffic accident to find a "stand-in". As a result, they ignored him, and it was estimated that Zhang Xiaoqiang still had a verbal conflict with him, and he was angry and corrupted, so that Zhang Xiaoqiang fell into evil. Today, Hu Kehao encountered this dead ghost again, and was almost calculated, but fortunately escaped.

Hu Kehao returned to the hospital and asked the doctor about the news. "Two months ago, the hospital admitted a person injured in a traffic accident who was covered in blood and in serious condition," the doctor said. The hospital did its best to save the life, and unfortunately, the wounded died. "The doctor has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and he talks about it lightly.

"Where did this wounded man go?" Hu Kehao asked.

"I remember very well, it was at a fork in the road near the wet market, and the ambulance went there." The doctor replied.

"Isn't it a young lad?" Hu Kehao told the doctor what he saw, and it was not bad at all.

"Yes, the police came to the hospital to do an investigation and also took samples of their blood."

"Did the police find anything?"

"Two results were found: one was that the driver who caused the accident was driving under the influence of alcohol. In addition, the DNA of the wounded has been linked to a murder more than a year ago. The doctor said.

It turned out that the young man who died in the car accident used to kill people and was a murderer. As mentioned earlier, more than a year ago, there was a girl named Huang Lan, who lived in Huang Jueya, S County, and worked in the city. One day, Huang Lan went to attend a classmate's wedding and took a taxi from a young man. The young man had a bad idea, raped and killed Huang Lan in a remote place, and then threw his body in Zhuanggang, Baishi Township, S County, near Hu Kehao's hometown. After Huang Lan's death, she became a female ghost on the deadlock, and later met Jiang Cuizhi, who abducted and sold women, and was resentful in her heart, so that she died violently. After Jiang Cuizhi's death, she was reincarnated in Wang Fang's womb in Wangjiawan, but she died before she was born. Because of the sins of her previous life, she quickly ended her life in this life.

After the young man kills someone, he often has nightmares, and he is afraid that the police will come to his door. He was in a trance, could no longer concentrate on driving a taxi, and once almost had an accident many times while driving. The young man had a disturbed conscience and finally decided to stop driving a taxi and came to U City to work. He rented a house near the market where Zhang Xiaoqiang and Tang Meng bought vegetables, and one day he was in a car accident at a fork in the road and was taken to the hospital for treatment. The police came to investigate the traffic accident, collected his blood, and after DNA comparison, found that the young man's DNA was consistent with the DNA left by the criminal at the scene of the dead body dumping more than a year ago, so they locked the young man as the suspect who killed Huang Lan. The young man died and escaped the punishment of the law. However, there was a providence in the dark, and he did not escape the punishment of heaven in the end. Therefore, people are doing it, and the sky is watching, and we must be good citizens who abide by the law and do not sin.

After the young man died, he looked for a replacement at the fork in the road. Yesterday, I met Zhang Xiaoqiang and Tang Ao and asked them to help him cross the road. Zhang Xiaoqiang was very vigilant, worried that he was a liar, and scolded: "Young man, you don't have long legs?" I've seen a lot of people like you, and I just want to blackmail people for money! ”

The young man was furious and sprayed a breath of evil qi on Zhang Xiaoqiang. After Zhang Xiaoqiang returned to the demolition building, the disease slowly attacked, and symptoms already appeared when he was cooking, but Tang Meng did not notice it. During the meal, Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't resist anymore, and suddenly his mouth was full of nonsense, foaming at the mouth, and he fell to the ground.
