Inside the crystal coffin, the body of a middle-aged man was contained.

Tang Yuan introduced to me: "The deceased's name is Li Jianguo, and in the early morning of three days ago, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in the private room of the Paradise on Earth Club on Cihang Road, and died after unsuccessful rescue. ”

Cihang RoadI know that the famous entertainment street in the south of the city, with food, bars, massage and foot soaking, etc., also gathers the most high-end entertainment clubs in the south of the city, among them, "Paradise on Earth" is one of the more famous entertainment clubs.

I bent down and looked carefully at the corpse through the glass cover of the crystal coffin, and saw that my face was almost covered with a glass cover, Tang Yuan seemed to want to say something to me, but was stopped by a "silence" gesture from Cheng Cheng.

I didn't pay much attention to this little detail, but I still focused on the corpse inside the crystal coffin.

The deceased was covered with a white cloth, exposing only the shoulders and head, and the horizontal flesh and round shoulders on that face indicated that the deceased was a fat man, but as far as I could see, there were no obvious external injuries.

"What about the identity of the deceased?" I asked.

"He is a rich man, with assets of tens of millions. Li Jianguo relied on demolition and relocation in his early years to divide hundreds of thousands, and then began to buy a house, and now he has a total of more than 20 properties and commercial properties under his name, and he can live a prosperous life by collecting rent and counting money. ”

"Health?"

"We got Li Jianguo's physical examination report half a year ago, except for fatty liver and hyperlipidemia, other physical indicators are normal."

I let out an "um", straightened up, and pointed to the glass cover of the crystal coffin: "Can you open it for me to see?" ”

When I said this, I actually felt a little unhappy, I hadn't dealt with this Tang Yuan much, and I didn't know his temperament, but I hated his way of introducing toothpaste-style cases by asking questions and answers, because it was really a waste of time.

When Tang Yuan and I entered the autopsy room, he said that he didn't talk about gossip first, but he actually looked like a gentle one, how could this not make me, a person with a weak temperament, dishonorable?

"Tang Yuan, you go and prepare, I'll introduce you." Cheng Cheng probably saw my dissatisfaction, took the folder board in Tang Yuan's hand, and sent him to the side, the latter shrugged, but he felt relieved.

This Tang Yuan seems to be a little socially uncomfortable because of his technology.

"Aji, I understand what you want to check - let's put it this way, although we haven't done the autopsy yet, it should be consistent with the death report in the hospital, the cause of Li Jianguo's death is an acute cerebral hemorrhage, there shouldn't be any other moths." Chengcheng Road.

This was a bit of a surprise to me.

The case that Cheng Cheng told me was definitely related to the corpse in front of me, but now, Cheng Cheng told me that the cause of the deceased's death was not unusual.

Cheng Cheng continued: "This Li Jianguo, who is forty-eight years old this year, has a wonderful experience. In his early years, he worked as a farmer, and later sold clothes in business, but he almost went bankrupt, but at this time, his hometown house was demolished. After becoming a demolition household, relying on more than 200,000 yuan of demolition money, Li Jianguo began to follow the trend of speculation, just in time for the city's real estate surge in previous years, and now his net worth has more than 50 million. ”

Li Jianguo has never been married and has children. Since several years ago, he has lived the life of a chartered public, and after collecting rent every day, he will find a teahouse to drink tea and play mahjong, and linger in various entertainment venues at night, which can be regarded as enjoying life. On the night of his death, he ordered seven princesses to sing with him, probably because he was so excited that he had a cerebral hemorrhage. ”

Listening to Cheng Cheng's interesting words, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth: This so-called "accompaniment" is of course not so pure, as for the specific tricks, I can probably imagine it......

I can only sigh that this Li Jianguo is too addicted to arrogance and luxury, and he doesn't know moderation, can anyone be a man who can do it seven times a night?

It's a good thing that the money wasn't spent, and the people went first, which was really a tragedy.

"The supernatural event is not in the cause of death - Tang Yuan!"

As soon as Cheng Cheng finished speaking, the fluorescent lamp in the autopsy room went out.

"Smack."

A touch of blue lit up in front of him, and it turned out that Tang Yuan had turned off the ceiling light in the room, and then turned on a blue spotlight placed in the corner of the room.

A triangular bright blue lamppost appears in the room.

And when I cast my eyes on the crystal coffin again, I couldn't help but jerk my temples!

I saw that in the blue light, Li Jianguo, who was originally lying in the crystal coffin, actually sat up!

From my line of sight, I could just see Li Jianguo's back, and he actually went directly through the glass cover!

The situation is extremely strange.

Of course, I couldn't make a fuss like ordinary people who had never encountered a supernatural event in their lives, and I was only slightly surprised when I saw this, and I quickly calmed down.

After looking closely, I realized that it was not Li Jianguo's corpse sitting up, but a humanoid phantom, which was Li Jianguo's upper body.

I took a deep breath and said to Cheng Cheng, "The supernatural event you are talking about, that's it, right?" ”

On the day of Li Jianguo's memorial service, the security guard of the funeral home saw the current scene through the monitoring probe. Tang Yuan did a simple test, and it was basically determined that this thing was non-substance, and it was not harmful—at least until now. ”

Cheng Cheng's face was illuminated by the blue light, and his skin was glowing with a faint blue reflection, which inexplicably looked a little ghostly, but it was very flattering to the atmosphere.

I secretly judged that this appearance is a phantom of Li Jianguo's upper body, which may be the existence of some kind of "spirit", because it cannot be seen directly with the naked eye, and the way the camera or camera sees the world is actually very different from our naked eye.

This is also the reason why there are so many "supernatural photos" in the world - the optical principle of early film cameras is different from that of modern digital cameras, but the environmental conditions will be different, and the reason is still the same.

Cheng Cheng continued: "Since we found this phantom that is very similar to Li Jianguo's upper body, it has been in this position, like an invisible plant growing directly from Li Jianguo's abdomen, but its mouth occasionally moves...... Don't you know how to lip out? It just saves us the trouble of asking for others, and ......"

Speaking of this, Cheng Cheng lowered his voice: "This case was not taken over by our Criminal Investigation Department at the beginning, and those guys from the Public Security Department didn't know what was wrong, so they directly reported it to the Police Bureau...... As a result, the level of secrecy in this case was immediately raised, otherwise I would have had you intervened 5 hours earlier. ”

I nodded, but didn't say anything.

Unlike Lao Dao, I always maintain a way of not inquiring, not caring, and not participating in the internal affairs of the police bureau, whether it is personnel dumping or internal information, I will not take the initiative to inquire or express my opinions.

First of all, my profession is a little more sensitive, and I need to maintain a certain tacit understanding with the police department.

To put it mildly, I solve supernatural events, and I also maintain social stability; To put it mildly, my job needs the acquiescence and protection of the police department, otherwise, if I make some trouble in solving some very difficult and terrifying incidents, I am afraid that I will be the first to be arrested in the bureau for tea.

It can be seen that although I am not like the protagonist in my fantasy, I am not a peerless miracle, but the job of a spirit detective is indeed not something that anyone can do casually by announcing it out of interest—it is very important to obtain some official tacit permission and authorization.

Secondly, isn't there still Lao Dao, a veteran of the police system? Getting information from him is much more efficient than my own stupid investigation.

And now the identity of the private detective of the old knife, many times also need my "professional" advice and help, this is the basis of my cooperation with the old knife, mutual benefit.

Just thinking about it, suddenly Cheng Cheng beside him shouted: "What-"

I saw that the phantom of Li Jianguo's half body turned around in the direction where we were!

It's staring at us with those fat eyes!

"How, how did you move? I haven't made any movements before......" Cheng Cheng's voice trembled a little, and his eyes were a little straight.

Cheng Cheng still has too little knowledge in the end, although he has the experience of Blackwater Town, he still can't change his stereotype thinking all at once.

As mentioned earlier, the source of human fear is the sudden change of what is known—that is, the process of changing from the known to the end.

Accustomed to facing my own fears, this is a project that I, as a spirit detective, have been "trained" in all these years of practice.

When Cheng Cheng was frightened, I also felt a chill in my body for a moment, but after taking a deep breath, I was less flustered.

From a psychological point of view, if you exercise your ability to deal with a certain situation for a long time, and attach psychological cues, you can form a conditioned reflex - the simplest example is that some singers will have a habitual action before opening their mouth or soaring high notes, which is also a kind of psychological cue, and then they can be conditioned to perform a wonderful singing after a lot of practice.

And my mental suggestion is to take a deep breath.

This is very effective, and only after suppressing your panic can you use your brain better......

I quickly saw that Li Jianguo's phantom, the gaze projected on us did not have strong malice, and there was even a hint of surprise.

I raised a finger and motioned for Cheng Cheng not to move, and then I slowly paced away from Cheng Cheng, while my eyes also observed Li Jianguo's phantom.

After only five steps, I could see that Li Jianguo's phantom gaze was moving with me!

He's just staring at me alone!

Moreover, it began to open its mouth to "speak"!

An apparition can't vibrate the air and make a sound, of course, but I can read lips.

"You...... Can you see me? Li Jianguo's phantom said to me.

"Team Cheng, it's talking to me!" I was pleasantly surprised, explained the situation to Cheng Cheng, and then turned to Li Jianguo's phantom and said, "Yes, I can see you." Excuse me, who are you? ”

But Li Jianguo's phantom glanced in the direction I was talking to Cheng Cheng just now, and then asked me, "Who were you talking to just now?" ”

I was amazed and said, "Can't you see?" There are two other people here besides me. ”

It looked at me, "Can you speak louder?" I can't hear what you're saying. ”

I understand!

Could it be that this is why it has remained motionless?

It can't see any living people but me? Can't hear the voices of this world?

The crude metaphor is that the phantom of Li Jianguo in front of us is not in the same world plane as us at all, but through a certain way (or medium), we can see each other.

"But, you can see my movements."

I slowed down my speech and exaggerated the movements of my facial muscles as I spoke.

The first time, it still didn't understand what I was talking about.

The second time too.

By the third time, it finally "heard" and understood: "Yes, I can see you...... The whole body, however, I still can't hear you. ”

"That's—"

As soon as I opened my mouth, I raised my hand and slapped myself on the head—for I suddenly realized that I was so stupid, why should I be dumb with him?

If it could read words, wouldn't it?

I hurriedly ran to Cheng Cheng's side: "Team Cheng, hurry, give me the pen and paper in your hand!" ”

He didn't allow him to object, so he snatched the folder board and ballpoint pen in his hand, then turned it over, wrote a sentence in the blank space on the back of the document, walked to the phantom, and directly held up the page with the text in front of the phantom.

It looked at my hand holding up the folder board, and though it didn't show any expression, I could see that it was dazed.

Sure enough, it opened its mouth and said, "What are you doing?" What do you have in your hands? ”

When I read this lip word, it was like a basin of cold water poured over my head!

It doesn't work.

It's not that it can't read the text, it's that it can't see what I'm holding in my hand at all!

I suddenly understood why it said to me, "I can see your whole body."

In order to verify, I made a rather obscene action.

I pointed my finger to my crotch......

With both hands, with all kinds of emphasis, with various gestures of emphasis, instructions, instruct it to look here.

Cheng Cheng and Tang Yuan looked at me, and they both had strange expressions on their faces, especially Tang Yuan, the bastard, he looked at it for a while, and a fat face was full of expressions of "I still have this hobby by you".

Why is this dead fat man's mind so dirty?

I'm going to it, I'm not molesting male ghosts, okay!

By the way, why did I come up with this test method?

Actually, indeed, there can be another way......

At the moment when I was about to collapse, the phantom of Li Jianguo's own appearance finally understood.

It was upset: "Why the fuck are you letting me see your **?" Is yours big? Or did you bully me no?! ”

“……”

For the first time, I had the idea of finding a hole to turn into.

It's not like I've been embarrassed before, but it's the first time I've been in front of something like a "ghost".
