Chapter 8 Human Skin Stand-in
I shook it a bit, and when I held it up, I saw that the silhouette was very human-like.
Xiao Yu reached out and touched it, and his face changed: "Human skin? ”
The little black nodded humanely, and there was a playfulness in the coffee-colored pupils.
"it!"
The fat man was excited, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and then a strong look of excitement, he rubbed his hands, stretched out his head, and looked at the human skin in my hand.
I pulled the corners of my mouth, Xiao Hei can do it, the first time he came out with me, he gave me such a big surprise, if it was really human skin, where did it come from?
Holding back the diaphragm in my heart, I looked at the human skin in my hand, and found that this human skin looked like my second grandfather.
"Why is it a bit like that kid just now?" Xiao Yu observed for a while and muttered quietly.
"Meow!"
Xiao Hei gritted his teeth, and the pitch-black cat head was a little more humane, indicating that he had answered correctly.
"Is it really my second grandfather?" I asked, leaning my head.
Blackie nodded again, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes, and yawned as he nestled back in his seat.
"What second grandfather?" Xiao Yu asked.
"It's the kid just now." I thought about it for a moment and told me about the origin of my family's curse and my experience over the past few days.
"Really?" Xiao Yu looked at me suspiciously.
"Fake!"
I threw the human skin aside, replied angrily, and drove back.
The fat man took the opportunity to scoop up the human skin, and after looking at it twice, he said: "Brother, your second grandfather is very ruthless, get a stand-in and peel off a human skin." ”
I didn't say anything.
The stand-in is also divided into materials.
The inferior ones are made of paper and bamboo, the medium ones are made of cloth and silk, and the superior ones are made of human skin, especially those made of human skin, which can almost be fake.
Of course, I've heard of these methods before, but I didn't expect to see a real human skin stand-in today.
The hot pot restaurant was not far from my incense shop, and five minutes later, I arrived home.
"Husband."
As soon as he got out of the car, Chen Xi ran over happily.
Xiao Yu's eyes instantly widened, and he looked at Chen Xi carefully.
"Xiaoyu, I'm Chen Xi, you can just call me Xiaoxi." Chen Xi glared back with a smile and quietly hugged my arm.
An undercurrent is surging.
"Ahem!"
Without a trace, I pulled out my arm and said, "Go into the house." After saying that, he went back to the house by himself.
"Are you really dead?"
After entering the house, Xiao Yu squinted at Chen Xi and asked.
"Hmm!"
Chen Xi smiled and lifted his bangs, uncovering a small piece of white glue covering the center of his eyebrows, revealing a pitch-black hole.
Xiao Yu frowned and reached out to touch it.
Chen Xi didn't hide, and let Xiaoyu check it.
"It's really dead."
After the inspection, the little fish lost his soul.
I looked at the fat man and didn't say much.
Xiaoyu has a very twisted personality, when she was studying, she held her breath, not only for herself, but also to prove it to those who looked down on her.
From junior high school, high school, to college, we haven't had much contact for nearly ten years, and we can see each other every year, that is, the year she came back to work, and we have more contact.
This year, she didn't leave me and the fat man behind, and every time we met, she said that we were engaged in feudal superstition.
Although during the meal, she said the strange things she had encountered in the past few days, but in her heart, she still didn't believe it, after all, after so many years of higher education, she suddenly made her believe that there were ghosts, and she definitely couldn't accept it.
Chen Xi's appearance broke her worldview, if she could still talk and laugh with us, it would be abnormal!
"Husband, what's going on?" Chen Xi leaned over and asked in a whisper.
I talked about the matter, and the matter of the second grandfather was also mentioned.
"He deserves it, without this stand-in, he should stop for a while."
Hearing that Xiao Hei killed a stand-in for his second grandfather, Chen Xi gloated.
This attitude made me have a trace of doubt, and asked, "You seem to be very familiar with the second grandfather?" ”
"Don't think about it, go home on Saturday, tell you what you should have told." Chen Xi posted over and said.
I sighed secretly, I couldn't understand why I had to wait until that day, it was originally because of Chen Xi's Sanqi, but now it seems that it is not like that at all.
In fact, I should have thought that Chen Xi's eyebrows were staring at a soul-locking nail made of lightning strike wood, and if one went down, his soul would definitely be scattered.
Who lives in Chen Xi's body now, it is unknown, the so-called three-day return last time was not only for revenge, but also for a break.
occupies Chen Xi's body, and he has to bear this cause and effect.
"In other words, I've really fallen for evil and been targeted by a ghost, haven't I?"
Xiao Yu finally came back to his senses and said slowly.
"That's right!" I said at the same time as the fat man.
The ghost mark on the back of the small fish's neck can be removed, but it is not a cure for the symptoms, once it is removed, it will definitely alarm the ghost.
The best thing to do is to lure the snake out of the hole and kill the ghost once and for all.
"What's next?" The little fish quickly calmed down.
"Wait, wait for that ghost to come out in the evening." I said.
There are three fires on the person, one on the left and right shoulders, and one on the top of the head, and the three fires are not extinguished, and it is difficult for ghosts to get close.
Xiao Yu has turned back many times in the past few days, and the three fires on his body are estimated to have been extinguished early.
It won't be the second grandfather who does this, with the means of the second grandfather, he won't play so low-level, according to Xiaoyu, this ghost should be gradual, and put out the three fires on Xiaoyu's body little by little.
There are two kinds of ghosts, one is the earth-bound spirit, and the other is the wandering spirit.
Most of the earthbound spirits are transformed by people who have died horizontally, such as drowned ghosts, hanged ghosts, and those who have been hit by cars, such ghosts, bound to the land of death, and cannot get out, unless someone is caught for them, which is commonly known as substitute ghosts.
The spirit is another kind, which can roam freely in the city and countryside, and there are many reasons for its formation, including unfulfilled wishes, resentment that is difficult to swallow, and suicide deliberately turning into a ghost.
Compared with the Earth Bound Spirit, the resentment of the geist is much smaller, but it is not necessarily, and the specific situation is analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
But one thing is certain, ghosts don't come to people for no reason.
Thinking of this, I asked, "Xiaoyu, you have touched several corpses in the past few days. ”
"Three."
Xiao Yu thought for a while, stretched out three fingers, and said: "One was in a car accident and his head was knocked off, this fat man knows, it is still my sewn head, one is Lao Li's head, and the other is the one I met last week, and the cause of death is unknown." ”
"The cause of death is unknown?" I asked.
Xiaoyu nodded, shook his head again, and said, "How to say it, it's a very strange way to die, the body was found last Wednesday, died in the bathroom, and the cause of death was drowning." ”
"What's so strange about drowning?" The fat man asked.
"That bathroom didn't have a bathtub, just a shower and wash basin, and he drowned himself in the wash basin."
Xiao Yu said while reminiscing.
"He'll kill him, right?" The fat man said.
The washbasin, how deep it can be, how much water it can put, if you want to drown someone, unless you soak your face in the water and suffocate to death.
How is it possible for a man to drown himself in himself?
"It wasn't him, there was no trace of struggle at the scene, and when we arrived, the deceased was still in the same position as when he died, as if he was washing his hair."
Xiao Yu's eyes were a little puzzled, "Because of this, I have been busy with this for the past few days, after the dissection, there are bleeding spots in the conjunctiva of the eye, drowning fluid in the respiratory tract, pulmonary water emphysema is obvious, and there is a difference in the concentration of hemoglobin in the left and right ventricles, which is consistent with the characteristics of drowning." ”
I glanced at the fat man and knew that this matter was not so simple, and it was not possible to have an inside story.
"What about the corpses?" I asked.
"The family got it back." Xiao Yu said.
"That's it?" The fat man looked surprised.
"The corpse showed no signs of struggle, no external injuries, what else could it be?" Xiao Yu asked rhetorically.
Xiaoyu is right, the autopsy results show drowning, and there is no evidence of a second person present, how to check?
"Xiaoyu, take us to that house." I thought about it and said.
"Okay!"
Xiaoyu nodded.
It's still the same as before, Chen Xi is at home, and we plus Xiao Hei go to the scene.
The deceased's name is Zhou Ming, who works as a tally clerk in a supermarket, and the house is his own, in Qingyang Community.
Qingyang community has a history of more than 20 years, with a total of six buildings, forming a hollow shape, giving people a cramped feeling.
Zhou Ming's house is on the fifth floor, and when I came downstairs, I don't know if it was an illusion, I felt as if someone was watching me upstairs.
