Chapter 20: Where Are the Children?
It was dark in front of my eyes again, and when it was bright again, I saw Zhang Guanshan looking at me suspiciously, "Lin Xi, what's wrong?" When I came back to my senses, I found myself standing at the door of the tiled house, Zhang Guanshan's hand still on the doorknob, which was the action of opening the door just now. Hey? What's going on? I've just seen so many things, how come it's only a few seconds since the time passed in reality.
"Master, the ghost in this house is so strong!" Because Li Xiaozhen was present, I didn't want to reveal what I had just seen through the psychic, and when I saw the ghost aura permeating the tiled house, I had an idea, explaining the reason why I was stunned just now. Zhang Guanshan is not psychic, so he can't see this room full of ghosts without the help of magic weapons. But because he was deep enough, he could know how strong the ghost aura was in this house just by feeling it. He nodded, "The ghost aura in this house is indeed very strong, but it has not spread to the entire villa. Presumably, it was also the Liu family who invited some onmyoji to make a formation and lock this ghost qi! He looked up at the sky outside again, "It's going to be dark soon, Lin Xi first sealed the doors and windows with a sealing array!" ”
I took out the ink fountain from my school bag, poured some prepared rooster blood, and then flicked ink lines on the doors and windows with Zhang Guanshan. Li Xiaozhen walked over tremblingly, her upper and lower teeth chattering, "Two...... Master. As...... If...... There are no other ...... Something else, I ...... I'll go back to the living room first! After that, she turned around and ran away without waiting for us to answer.
"Master, are we really going to arrest her?" After laying down the sealing array, Zhang Guanshan asked me to set up the lock ghost array again, didn't he mean negotiation? Why do you need to use the Lock Ghost Array?
"Not really! If you negotiate successfully, this Ghost Locking Array will naturally not be used. In case, if she is unwilling to negotiate and is bent on taking the lives of the living or even angering you, then there is only ......" Zhang Guanshan did not finish speaking, and I knew that he also hoped in his heart that I could successfully negotiate with Yan Xiqing. I don't know why, I'm not worried about this, I don't think Yan Xiqing will be such a fierce ghost, there must be a reason why she is like this. Cause? That's right! Li Xiaozhen told me before, she said that Yan Xiqing couldn't stand her two angry words, so she strangled her daughter and then hanged herself, but just now in the illusion, I not only didn't see Yan Xiqing hurt her daughter, but also exchanged her own death for her daughter's survival! But we didn't see a little girl in Liu's house, where did the baby girl go? I'm sure that the baby girl will definitely not be in the Liu family, otherwise Yan Xiqing will not turn into a ghost and come to take revenge. That...... Did the baby girl die or was she given away? I have to ask Li Xiaozhen about this, otherwise I don't know the truth, and if I say the wrong thing, I may really be angry.
"Master, in fact, I just saw the female ghost's life!" I walked up to Zhang Guanshan and decided to tell him the truth, Zhang Guanshan was stunned, "Are you psychic again?" I nodded. Zhang Guanshan was just surprised for a moment, and then returned to normal, "What did you see?" ”
I told the scene I saw 1510 times, "Master, Li Xiaozhen said that Yan Xiqing strangled his daughter to death and then hanged himself, but just now I didn't see Yan Xiqing hurt his daughter in the illusion at all. Yan Xiqing said when she died that if Li Xiaozhen couldn't treat her daughter well, she would turn into a ghost and come back to take revenge. So, I'm sure Li Xiaozhen told a lie! ”
Zhang Guanshan nodded: "Very likely!" It's almost set up here, let's go! Let's ask Li Xiaozhen where her granddaughter has gone! ”
When the two of us came to the living room, we saw Li Xiaozhen beckoning a young man to set the dishes. When he saw us coming, he beckoned: "Two masters, wait a little and you can eat!" ”
The master and I glanced at each other, and we both saw doubts in each other's eyes. Because by this time, I didn't even see a man from the Liu family. After a few more minutes, Li Xiaozhen beckoned us to dinner, and I pretended to ask casually, "Auntie, aren't we waiting for uncle and brother?" ”
Li Xiaozhen lowered her head and put the chopsticks on the table, and said naturally: "Oh, my old man and son have gone to Shanghai on a business trip in the past few days, it seems that they are holding a meeting, and they will wait for two more days to come back!" ”
Zhang Guanshan and I glanced at each other, and it was obvious that we didn't believe Li Xiaozhen's words. Liu Peixiao and Liu Xiaoquan both work in the Public Security Bureau, what is the place of the Public Security Bureau is absolutely to put an end to any superstition, besides, in recent years, the country's campaign to eliminate superstition is hot, and many Bodhisattva statues in temples have been knocked out. If it is said that the deputy director of a dignified public security bureau is still practicing feudal superstition, he will be demoted at the least, and may even be removed from his post in serious cases. But it is a fact that there are ghosts in the house, Li Xiaozhen wants to ask someone to catch ghosts, and she must not let the two male hosts be at home. First, to prevent the ghosts from hurting them, and secondly, if this matter spreads, it is just an old woman who is engaged in superstition, and has nothing to do with her husband and children. At most, the leader asked Liu Peixiao to come back to criticize and criticize his wife, and nothing big happened.
Zhang Guanshan sat at the dining table, looked at Li Xiaozhen and asked seriously and seriously: "Li Xiaozhen, where is your granddaughter?" Li Xiaozhen didn't expect Zhang Guanshan to ask such a question, her hand shook, her face became a little weird, and soon she showed a bitter face, "Hey, it's dead!" Strangled to death by her mother! ”
"Really?" Zhang Guanshan's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was some anger in his voice, "Li Xiaozhen, don't lie to me!" I calculated that the baby died after Yan Xiqing, and the time interval was not a day or two! You're still lying, it looks like you don't want us to catch ghosts! Since that's the case, we won't bother, Lin Xi, let's go! Hearing this, I felt a little funny in my heart, but I pretended to be angry on my face, stood up and left.
As soon as Li Xiaozhen saw that we were really leaving, she immediately grabbed Zhang Guanshan's arm and said eagerly: "I'm sorry, master!" I was wrong, I was wrong! Don't go! I say, I say! ”
Zhang Guanshan sat back in the chair at this time, and I saw Zhang Guanshan sit down and sat down with him. Li Xiaozhen picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip before slowly speaking: "That child was indeed not strangled to death by her mother, but...... but sick and dead! No...... Be...... It's starving! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Guanshan and I were both shocked and starved to death? This...... It's too cruel, isn't it? Li Xiaozhen saw that both of us had a resentful expression on their faces, and her eyes suddenly turned red and she slapped herself, "It's me who is not good!" I'm not human! We only found out on the third day after her mother's suicide, I saw that the child had taken in less air and more gas, thinking that there was no ready-made milk at home, she was a money-loser anyway, and if she died like this, it would be better if my son didn't drag him down when he looked for it again. So ......"
