5. Difficult ghosts

Murphy is not an actor. She is just an assistant under Wu Dapeng of Jingpeng Company.

Three months ago, Murphy had an accident during a video recording. The magic prop that was originally used for tricks was accidentally knocked down by Murphy. That prop can breathe fire. No one expected that the fire would suddenly ignite Murphy's skirt.

It was supposed to be just a small accident. Fire extinguishers are installed on the set. Skirt fires can be easily extinguished. But no one expected that the fire would spread to Murphy's whole body in an instant. Almost half a second later, Murphy turned into a burning man.

By the time everyone on the set put out the fire, Murphy was already burned to the ground.

Two days later, Murphy died in the accident. But no one can say why Murphy's whole body is on fire.

After that, there were rumors in the company. said that there was a female star in the company who asked a voodoo mage to help her do it in order to be popular. And Murphy was sacrificed to the fire.

Zhang Gu had heard this rumor. But she didn't believe it at all. In order not to spread this kind of news that affects the work within the company. Zhang Gu ordered that it was forbidden to discuss this matter. And then it just didn't work out. Murphy's death was characterized as a simple accident.

A man suddenly burst into flames all over his body. And I didn't get gasoline or alcohol on it.

After listening to Zhang Gu's description, the first thing that came to my mind was Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei's fire charm can play the role of ignition and combustion. And Qiao Wei has been able to ignite the fire directly with his bare hands since he came into close contact with the heart of the Flame Titan. Completely turned into a flame man. If Murphy was burned to death because of someone who knew how to use fire spells. Then it is very likely that she will become a demon after her death.

This is definitely a clue worth pursuing in depth. If the rumors are true. The people who used voodoo spells must have been Wu Dapeng and Hu Shasha. Although both of these are dead. But there is definitely something to be asked from the people who are closer to them. After all, there are rumors. Someone must know the inside story.

Qiao Wei and I will have to go our separate ways.

Because of yesterday's yokai attack. Zhang Gu has completely believed in the theory of ghosts. And she didn't dare to leave the safe house at all. Even going to the toilet or taking a shower or something like that had to be followed. She'd rather have her privacy in the light of us than be killed by a youkai.

Zhang Gu has to leave someone here. So Qiao Wei stayed at Zhang Gu's house as a 24-hour personal bodyguard. And I went to Jingpeng Company to find clues.

Of course. I'm not prepared to go it alone either. We came to find the gods who were at the fair. And the same gods are running for me. So I have to have a reliable person by my side as well. And this person can only be Changle at present.

Chang Le also came to Kaohsiung with us. In order to improve efficiency, he has been with Ye Chen before, looking for clues through other channels. Now my side is obviously making a bit faster. That's why I called Chang Le over and came with me to Jingpeng.

Before going to Jingpeng, I also told Fang Shishan about Zhang Gu's situation on the phone. And asked him to fully assist me in my investigation. Fang Shishan originally believed in ghosts and gods. Now that we've cut off one of the ghost's hands, he's trusted Qiao Wei and me even more. I nodded yes to all the requests I made.

Chang Le and I are Jingpeng who went down a little bit. Fang Shishan has already called the person we want to interview to the company. What I'm looking for is actually everyone in Wu Dapeng's planning team before Mo Fei's death. That is, the people who are closest to Wu Dapeng and Hu Shasha.

Fang Shishan found a total of eight people. Four of them were men and two women from Fang Shishan's original planning team. According to Fang Shishan. All six of them have also had some job changes since Murphy's death. But none of them resigned. Now they are all gathered and none of them are left behind.

In addition to these six people, there are two men in their forties and so. These two people are the closest people to Fang Shishan in the company. Because of the different division of labor, there is no conflict of interest with each other. So all three of them are very close to each other. I should also say something about privacy in my daily life. So Fang Shishan brought them all in.

I deliberately chose the conference room where Wu Dapeng was crucified to have an interview with these eight people.

Since the killing of Wu Dapeng in this place. No one in this room dared to come back. Fang Shishan even had the idea of simply changing the address of the company. The subsequent series of ghost attacks, including those at Zhang Gu's house, show that the ghost attacks were not aimed at the company's location. It's for people.

Because it's clear. So Fang Shishan is very willing to attend this interview with me. There is Fang Shishan, the big boss, who came forward. Naturally, the other eight people had no reason to refuse. So also all gathered in the conference room.

Fang Shishan didn't make any leadership opening remarks. Directly handed over the leadership of the interview to me. I didn't dwell on anything else. When he came up, he directly addressed the eight people: "Zhang Gu was attacked by a ghost last night. The ghost had a hand cut off and was temporarily withdrawn. But I'm sure it won't be long before it comes back again. So I need some clues to help me catch ghosts. This clue has something to do with Murphy."

When I mentioned the name Murphy. All eight of them had different changes on their faces. The six-member team of Wu Dapeng's team is looking at each other. It seems to understand something. And Wu Dapeng's two brothers look like they have ghosts in their hearts.

"I've heard a rumor in the company after Murphy's death. Say it's someone using voodoo spells. Murphy is a sacrifice. Who spread this rumor. It's one of you." I looked around at the eight people.

None of the eight opened their mouths. They were all silent.

"Wu Dapeng and Hu Shasha are both dead. What are you afraid of? I am afraid that the devil will harm you. If you don't say anything, the devil will come to you."

The sentence I added didn't do much. None of these eight people spoke.

I was wondering if there were other female artists besides Wu Dapeng and Hu Shasha who had made voodoo. Chang Le suddenly stood up and walked up to Wu Dapeng's two sworn friends and said, "Hey. Brother two. Do you know anything about Murphy?"

"I don't know." One of them replied cheerfully. The other immediately shook his head at Chang Le.

Chang Le squinted at these two people and smiled slightly. As soon as I saw his expression, I knew that this kid was going to be ruthless.

Really. Chang Le suddenly stretched out his hands and put them on the shoulders of these two people. Then push it back hard. The two of them didn't have time to react before they were pushed to the ground by Chang Le.

This sudden movement was something that no one in the room expected. They were stunned at first. Then they all stood up. Chang Le also turned his head sharply. Both of his eyebrows turned bright silver. Behind him loomed a huge tiger's head. The tiger's blood-red eyes burst out with a fierce light.

No hands at all or anything. Just turned their heads, and none of the six dared to step forward and say the first half of the sentence.

Chang Le shocked the six people, then looked back at the two people who were pushed down by him: "Don't talk to me uselessly. I don't have that much time to spend with you here. Tell me what you know."

"I ...... We really don't know about Murphy. We ......"

"You really don't see the coffin and don't cry, it seems that it is necessary to make you suffer a little." After speaking. Chang Le threw his fist in the face of one of the guys.

"Don't do it," Fang Shishan hurriedly spoke.

Supposedly, Chang Le is not the kind of person who will be at the mercy of others. But his fist really didn't go down. I saw his arm stop halfway through.

I hurried to see the man who was about to be beaten. He lay on the ground and turned his face to the side. The eyes and mouth are tightly closed. At first glance, he would rather be beaten to death than intend to speak. In addition, the best friend No. 2 with him also has the same expression.

Chang Le put away his fist and shook his head at me. That's all he can do.

The sworn duo doesn't speak. Then I'll have to go and ask those six people. These six people look at each other, you look at me, I look at yours. But they all insisted that no one had the intention of standing up.

I hate it when people grind in front of me. So he simply slapped the table hard like Chang Le and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. It's a matter of human life."

My urging did its trick for all six of them. One of the chubby women hesitated for a long time and finally raised her hand and said, "I know something. That's where the rumor got out of me."

"Good. You say." I said.

"That's right. After Murphy's death, we all went to the funeral. Then at the funeral scene, when I went out to breathe, I overheard Wu Dapeng talking to someone. He mentions what voodoo. What other fire offerings, what are the ghosts? And then I told Lily about it." Talking. The chubby woman glanced at the other female colleague next to her.

The woman named Lily also said with a look of shame: "I'm a gossip. Just add a little bit of oil and vinegar. I didn't expect it to be like that."

"Who is the person who told Wu Dapeng about this? Is it Hu Shasha?" I asked.

The chubby woman shook her head. It's a guy I don't know. He had a beard all over his mouth. We don't have anyone in our company with that kind of beard. That's supposed to be someone from outside."

I didn't have to wait for me to continue asking. Chang Le walked over and patted me on the shoulder. Then he whispered to me, "I know what 'ghost' means. It was a kind of sacrifice of the 'crucifix'. The predecessor of sprinkling beans to exorcise ghosts. It is a type of yin-yang number that has flourished in Japan. I'm afraid this incident is not a natural disaster. It's a man-made disaster."
