Chapter 18: The Old Cat Calls
I looked down and saw that the caller ID turned out to be an old cat, this old cat is usually very cold, and has never taken the initiative to call me a few times, and when I saw him, he actually called me. I had a vague feeling that something wasn't right.
I quickly answered the phone and asked, "What's wrong old cat?" ”
The old cat's voice was very nervous, and he said, "Lin Yang." The rhubarb is gone. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that it was dark in front of me, although the rhubarb was a little abnormal when it was in the Bai family's old house before, but I always felt that with the ability of the old cat, I could definitely tame this rhubarb, but I didn't expect that now the rhubarb is really gone. I frowned and quickly asked, "When did it happen?" When did rhubarb go? ”
The old cat didn't mean to say anything more to me, but hurriedly said, "Come here quickly, you will know everything when you come." ”
I quickly hung up the phone and hurried to the old cat's basement. The line is happy and dead.
When I got to the basement, I saw the old cat sitting silently on the sofa smoking a cigarette, and the cigarette butts on the ground showed that the old cat had discovered this matter for a long time.
I hurriedly asked him, "What's the matter?" When did Rhubarb leave? Why didn't you tell me earlier? ”
The old cat glanced at me, and had a feeling that I was talking too much, but he didn't answer me directly, but pointed to a small white paper on the coffee table with his chin. Meaning it's all on this piece of paper.
I quickly picked it up and took a look. I saw a few words written crookedly on the piece of paper with a ballpoint pen: "People and ghosts have lost their way, I'm sorry, goodbye." Rhubarb stays. ”
Rhubarb is not highly educated, I know this, not only is the handwriting ugly, but the word "shu" in "The Different Paths of People and Ghosts" is still a typo, and it is written as a "lose" of winning or losing, but I don't care about these small details, and quickly asked: "When did you find this note?" ”
The old cat took another puff of cigarette and said, "This morning, when I woke up, I saw that the rhubarb was gone...... Spicy next door. I wrote it, and my mother wrote me a typo. ”
I took the note, a little headache, rhubarb must still be concerned about the fact that he is a ghost, when Bai Shu did not break this point, rhubarb must still be deceiving himself, because there is a return to Yangyu, as long as no one knows the truth of this matter. Rhubarb can disguise himself as a person at any time, but now that the truth is revealed, Rhubarb can no longer pretend to be a human, and he himself was a ghost exorcist before his death, and he usually looks down on the ghost the most, but now he has become a ghost, such a gap makes him unable to face himself and us.
So, Rhubarb is gone.
I asked, "Old cat, where does rhubarb usually like to go?" ”
The old cat shook his head: "I don't know, this guy doesn't usually go out, and even if he does, he won't be with me...... The only thing we've been there together is...... Supermarket and convenience store next to it? ”
I sighed, Rhubarb must have run away from home, and this guy won't go to the convenience store.
I was in a hurry, and suddenly thought of a person, in this capital, the connections of the living are limited, but the connections of the dead are very broad, especially the ghosts who often haunt various subway lines.
That's Lao Xie.
I quickly dialed Lao Xie's mobile phone, but no one answered, I just reacted, it's daytime, with the strength of Lao Xie, he definitely won't dare to come out during the day, I don't know which dark corner I'm hiding in to sleep.
I had to go separate from the old cat first, and searched near the university, Internet cafes, billiard halls, and movie theaters, almost all of them, but there was still no trace of rhubarb.
I tossed until the evening, and as soon as it was dark, I dialed Lao Xie's phone.
Lao Xie answered the phone, and his tone was still a little vague: "Lin Yang, it's just right, you called me, I heard that you pried the Bai family's feng shui jade?" Oh, you're really good, tell me brother, how the hell are you ......"
I hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, something happened, Rhubarb ran away from home, do you know where he is?" ”
Lao Xie was stunned for a moment, immediately speechless, and paused for a few seconds before this guy said, "Rhubarb? That's it, the old cat's apprentice? ”
I said, "Well, it's this rhubarb, there's only one rhubarb." ”
Lao Xie said: "This is hard to find, the capital is so big, that guy is just a person, and it's not Ultraman, he just finds a place to hide it, but he can't see it." ”
I took a deep breath and said, "It's really hard to find someone, but what if I told you that Rhubarb is not a person, but a ghost?" Wouldn't it be easier for you to find that way? ”
When Lao Xie heard this, he was obviously frightened by me, and the whole person began to panic, and he said intermittently: "What...... What's the situation? Is rhubarb a ghost? Already dead? When did you die? ”
I said: "Don't worry about this, anyway, Rhubarb is actually not a living person, but a ghost, he has been dead for ten years, and now he has a piece of Yang Jade on his body, so he looks no different from a person, but in essence, he is a ghost, do you understand when I say this?" Don't you have two brushes in Hades? Can you find him? ”
As I spoke, I thought in my heart that if Lao Xie couldn't find Rhubarb, then I could only go to the Wang family for help, although the Wang family was very conspiratorial, but now after all, they are my allies, and they will definitely not easily refuse my request.
Unexpectedly, Lao Xie suddenly said: "To tell you the truth, brother, it's not that I don't help with this, but my ability is really limited, and finding a ghost in such a big Beijing city is even more difficult than finding a living person." But I'll show you the way, among the four major families, other families may not have any means to find rhubarb, but there is only one family, if you know someone, it can be said that there is a big drop of hope! ”
I chuckled in my heart, and secretly thought to myself, "Could it be the Xu family?" I really don't know anyone in the Xu family. ”
Unexpectedly, Lao Xie said: "Do you know the people of the Chen family?" ”
As soon as I heard this, the first thing that came to my mind was Chen Xuance, I know Chen Xuance very well, and he has always been very friendly to me. But I didn't want Lao Xie to know about Chen Xuance, so I had to pretend not to know: "I really don't know, what should I do Lao Xie?" ”
Lao Xie sighed and said: "Then I really can't help it, the Chen family is very low-key, if you don't know each other, I can't help you introduce a few, where is the rhubarb, you can only rely on your own efforts." ”
I hurriedly said, "Don't thank you, you can't be so desperate?" Although I don't know the people of the Chen family, you should always know where they are, right? It's like the Bai family's stronghold is the Bai family's tomb, so where is the Chen family's stronghold, do you know this? ”
Lao Xie paused for a moment and said, "Lin Yang, your question is too sensitive, I shouldn't have told you." ”
As soon as I heard it, this was obviously what Lao Xie knew, this guy was very slippery, and if he knew, he said he knew, and he had to sell it.
I hurriedly said: "Lao Xie, since we are an alliance, you have to be honest, otherwise I will tell the four major families about your collusion with us, and see how you get mixed up in the underworld." ”
As soon as Lao Xie heard me threaten him, he quickly relieved himself and said, "Okay, don't threaten me, this hurts so much, let me tell you, this ...... The Chen family's stronghold actually has it, have you heard of Chen Jialin? ”
"Chen Jialin?" I was stunned for a moment and asked, "This Chen Jialin is also a subway station?" ”
Lao Xie said: "Yes, that's right, it's a subway station, the location of this subway station is special, between Sihui and Sihui East, if you want to go, I can give you a ride." ”
When I heard this, I was immediately a little confused and said, "Are you pulling the calf?" Where is there a station in the middle of Sihui and Sihui East? Sihui East is obviously Sihui's next stop! ”
Lao Xie snorted and asked, "Then which station do you think the Bai family tomb should be the next stop?" It's been so long, haven't you figured it out? ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately understood, and when I said, "If I want to go now, do you think you can do it?" ”
Lao Xie was also dry, and said directly: "Go downstairs in half an hour, it's still that Xiali, I'll come here." ”
With that, he hung up.
