Twenty-seven years ago, the town of Yangyu.

"Bao Longtu sat in Kaifeng Mansion, and listened carefully to the horse, and remembered ......"

In the summer, the weather was hot in the afternoon, and in the duty room of the Public Security Bureau, Xu Jin, a policeman on duty in his forties, shook a pu fan in his hand, drank a large sip of tea soup, closed his eyes and hummed comfortably.

“…… It says that Qin Xianglian is thirty-two years old, and she sued the court for bullying the king, despising the emperor, and repenting of the marriage of the male bed...... Boy...... Man...... Bah! Xu Jin snorted, "This word is really hard to sing!" ”

Xu Jin poured a big sip of tea soup again, simply stopped singing, put the fan on his face, and after a while, the snoring gradually started.

Suddenly, the door of the duty room was slammed, and the person who came outside shouted anxiously, "Uncle, uncle!" Come out, something is wrong! ”

"Xiao Chen, what's wrong?"

Xu Jin got up in a daze and opened the door, yawning and asked.

"The town, the bar in the town is on fire, and it looks like it's dead! Uncle, be sober! Xiao Chen grabbed Xu Jin and shook it vigorously.

"What!"

Xu Jin was completely sober.

Haydn's Bar.

In the water vapor, the open flames were basically invisible, and only a few places were still flashing with sporadic fires. The ground was covered with pitch-black water, and from time to time firefighters stepped on it quickly, the splash mixed with the tears of the man who was kneeling on the ground and crying.

"Oh my bar! Oh my heart's work! Oh my money! It's all gone! It's gone! The man looked at the charred ruins in front of him and cried out in grief.

Xu Jin looked at the man and sighed.

The Haydn Bar is open after 6 p.m. every night and is closed the rest of the time. At one o'clock in the afternoon today, passers-by saw puffs of black smoke coming out of the door of the bar, and after a while, the flames burst out, and by the time the fire truck arrived at the scene, the fire in the bar was already very fierce.

"If you want to say that Li Haifeng, this kid is really unlucky, Jiao'er Lang has been in office for so many years, and he finally started to moisten up with this bar day, and he doesn't want to burn it all out with a fire." Director Li of the Public Security Bureau was also at the scene, looking at the crying man on the ground and said helplessly.

"The smell of gasoline at the scene was very strong, and it may have been deliberately set on fire." The fire chief pointed to a place and said, "The fire should have started here, we also found some mosquito coil ash, it stands to reason that there is no one in this bar, there is no need to light mosquito coils, so this may be a simple time-delay ignition device." ”

"That's supposed to be to make an alibi." Xiao Chen held his chin and frowned.

"Okay, Captain Zhang, thank you for your hard work." Xu Jin looked at Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, you just said that the dead man was dead, what's going on?" ”

"Uncle, you, come with me." Xiao Chen's face suddenly had some fear.

The two of them walked through the ruins to what appeared to be a bar.

When Xu Jin saw the corpse clearly, he was immediately stunned, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"W-how is this possible?"

On the ground in front of the bar, there was a kneeling person, who did not fall down because the skin of the deceased was firmly attached to the ground due to the high temperature.

Perhaps it can't be said to be "kneeling".

The deceased's limbs were cut off, his skull was cut open, and a small half of his skull was fastened to the ground in front of the deceased, with words carved on it, which roughly meant that the deceased often came to the bar and secretly engaged in drug trafficking. Among the charred brains was a one-dollar coin......

……

"Yanagi Oni?" Jiang Tian took a sip of his drink and asked Xu Ang.

Xu Ang nodded, "The police also found three words engraved on the reverse side of the deceased's skull by an item such as a knife - Liu Sheng Ghost. The police wondered how such a wicked thing could happen in the 21st century. ”

"How did you find it out?"

"My grandfather thought it was very likely that someone was imitating the ghost of Yanagi. The police conducted a detailed autopsy on the body of the deceased, and finally extracted a mutilated fingerprint from the skull, but it did not meet the requirements for comparison, but it was also taken to the province, hoping that experts there could recover the fingerprint. ”

"After that, I checked for a week, but there were no clues. Liu Sheng's ghost is simply amazing, after the police searched the deceased Lin Wei's house and found a few kilograms of drugs, Lin Wei's family knew that he was doing this kind of thing. ”

"I read on the information that a week later, Chen Guo was killed, and he was also the last person to die in the 'Curse of the Willow Ghost'." Jiang Tian gulped down the noodles and said vaguely.

"Chen Guo is my grandfather's right-hand man, and after he died, my grandfather was very sad." Xu Ang's expression was a little lonely, he pointed to the table and said, "This noodle restaurant was a small movie theater more than 20 years ago, which is where Chen Guo died. ”

When Jiang Tian heard this, he choked and sprayed a large mouthful of noodle soup that he had just drunk into his mouth directly onto Xu Ang's body......

……

In the middle of the night, Xu Jin was woken up by a pager, and when he opened it, it was actually sent by Director Li, which read: The movie theater fire, Xiao Chen died.

When Xu Jin arrived at the scene, the fire in the movie theater had been extinguished, and there was a body covered in a white cloth on the road in front of the theater.

Xu Jin walked to the corpse with red eyes, slowly squatted down, and lifted the white cloth.

A violent scorching smell hit Xu Jin's olfactory nerves fiercely, and his hand stroked Xiao Chen's carbonized face, and tears fell silently.

"Death is the opposite of life." Director Li walked up to Xu Jin and said, "Xiao Chen, he committed suicide. ”

"Director, what's going on?" Xu Jin was taken aback.

"An hour ago, we received a call from the police that there was a fire in the cinema. When the police and fire brigade arrived at the scene, they found that the entire movie theater was on fire, and according to eyewitnesses, the first fire was a man sitting in the corner. That man was Xiao Chen, and he set himself on fire. ”

"How...... How could this be......" Xu Jin took off his police hat.

Director Li looked at Xu Jin and didn't speak for a long time.

"Director, say whatever you want."

Xu Jin took off his police uniform, folded it neatly, and placed it on Chen Guo's body.

"I've always thought it's strange, the so-called Liu Sheng ghost, how did he find Lin Wei." Director Li lit a cigarette, "In fact, Lin Wei is not actually a drug dealer, his real identity is Xiao Chen's informant." ”

Xu Jin frowned.

"Lin Wei and Xiao Chen have always been in one-line contact, no one except Xiao Chen knows Lin Wei's identity, so how did Liu Sheng Ghost target Lin Wei." Director Li took a deep breath of cigarette, "The county chronicles record that since the Xiucai corpse crushing case, plus Lin Wei, two hundred and thirty people have died in the hands of Liu Shenggui, so many years, so many people, so many crimes, only a few thirteen cases are really substantiated, and the other cases, no witnesses, no physical evidence, a single confession, sentenced to death, is really ridiculous!" ”

"Director, what do you want to say?"

"Yanagi Ghost prides himself on doing righteous deeds, killing unrighteous people, and killing people who are different from the outside, but he never relies on real evidence, but just does things according to his own ideas." Director Li snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, "This is what I thought after checking the county records." ”

"That's not what you asked." Xu Jin glanced at Director Li and smiled disdainfully.

"What do you mean?" Director Li's tone was a little unkind.

"Pretending to be confused? Or is it a weak heart? Or do you need me to tell you about it? Without waiting for Director Li to speak, Xu Jin continued to speak, "Lin Wei is Xiao Chen's informant, isn't it only Xiao Chen who knows, so how did you know?" ”

"I ......"

"Who isn't a Yanagi ghost!" Xu Jin looked at Director Li and laughed miserably, "Li Jingqing, you are the next one to die, it should be you!" ”

Xu Jin cried uncontrollably.

……

Liusheng Town, 231 Hengjie Road.

"Brother Xu, have you decided?"

In front of the door, Jiang Tian and Xu Ang stood side by side, Xu Ang's hand was on the doorknob, but he didn't open the door for a long time.

"He has always opposed me becoming a policeman, but I still became a policeman, just to prove it to him......" After a moment of silence, Xu Ang suddenly asked. You say, is Yanagi a ghost or a human? ”

Jiang Tian was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke, "I think that Liu Sheng Ghost is a demon mirror, using his heart as a guide to distinguish between positive and negative black and white. ”

Xu Ang pushed the door open.
