I can't guarantee that my guesses are 100% accurate, and I can't find the root of the evil spirits through them, but they still have their place, because we keep the witch's bones and through them we can communicate with her spirit.

During the few days we were waiting for the investigation, Qiao Wei's father also did some processing of the witch's body, according to Uncle Qiao, this treatment was to prevent the witch's soul from turning into an evil spirit, but in my opinion, it was more like the process of mummifying the corpse.

During this period, we also looked up some materials stored in Qiao Wei's house, some of which were specifically used to illustrate the soul.

It was the ancient Egyptians who first came up with the word soul. It is recorded that the Egyptians mummified the corpses so that the souls of the deceased could one day return and continue to use the shells, but there is another theory in Qiao Wei's family.

The mummies mentioned here are not used to better preserve the body, but to seal evil thoughts in the body and allow pure souls to ascend to heaven.

As a very special existence, the soul of the wizard has made a contract with the necromancy, and it can be said that there is no pure part of the wizard's soul, so the preservation of the wizard's corpse with a mummy can also play a role in preserving the soul.

On the night that I came up with all my inferences, Qiao Wei's father performed a séance at home. Shu Xin followed me as a translator and converted all English into Chinese in the process.

The so-called séance is also a foreign soul summoning ritual, although the process is different, and the spells used are also in Latin, but the effect is the same. The ritual soon worked, and a layer of yin energy gathered on the mummified corpse, and then the ghost of a young girl appeared in the very center of the ritual circle.

"Say your name." Qiao Wei's father said to the girl's soul in a commanding tone.

"Charley," the girl's ghost replied in an emotionless tone, and her name surprised me.

I whispered to Qiao Wei if there were very few women who would give the name "Charlie".

Qiao Wei immediately nodded yes.

Qiao Wei's father also seemed to think of me, so he asked, "Are you a man or a woman?" ”

It didn't seem to me that this question was really necessary, because all the evidence pointed to the girl, and it was impossible for Qiao Wei's father to fail to determine the gender of the witch in the process of mummifying the witch's body. But this question, which I thought had no doubt at all, was answered with an absolutely surprising answer.

"Male." The girl's ghost replied in her calm tone.

"Then when did you become a woman?" Qiao Wei's father continued to ask.

Charlie didn't answer the question, and her body suddenly began to vibrate significantly, like a TV image with a jammed signal.

Obviously, this question touches the pain point in the deep soul of the girl.

"You're going to be a wizard?" Seeing that Charlie was silent, Qiao Wei's father changed the question, but the question also did not receive any answer.

"Charlie, I know everything you do for a reason, you are not an evil wizard, everything is because of that demon, that demon's name is Stephenson!"

The moment the name "Stephenson" came out of Qiao Wei's father's mouth, Charlie's figure trembled violently again. Various expressions suddenly flashed on his originally wooden face, including frightened, helpless, crying, and screaming...... Either expression conjures up one word – pain.

"Stephenson is not human, he is a devil who tortures you in the most cruel way, so you hate him and you wish you could escape from his clutches. But no one can help you, and no one is really willing to help you, all you can rely on is yourself, so you chose to be a wizard and rely on the liliang of evil spirits to fight demons! No one will make any criticism of your choice, you have done nothing wrong but have chosen a path from which there is no turning back. ”

Charlie's flickering expression suddenly froze, he slowly rolled his eyes to look at Qiao Wei's father, and then said in a slightly trembling voice: "It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's their fault that they abandoned me." ”

"You're right! It's their fault! So, now would you like to tell us what happened? How did you get rid of the devil Stephenson? Where did you get the Liliang of the Evil Spirit? Charlie, can you tell me everything? ”

Charlie didn't immediately agree, but continued to mumble in place, and then his tone became more and more intense, and the self-talk gradually turned into a vicious curse.

Charlie !! You have to tell everything, about what Stephenson and Spencer have done to you, about how your mother, your sister has been to your death, about what the six-year-old girl has suffered, about what is causing your pain! If you want real peace, say it all and tell me! Come on, Charlie! ”

Qiao Wei's father slowly greeted Charlie with open arms as he spoke, and gently hugged the other party.

This hug is not real, Charlie's ghost does not form any collision volume, everything is just the appearance of Qiao Wei's father. But the hug worked so well that Charlie stopped cursing and tears even appeared in the corners of his eyes! Eventually, he opened his mouth again and told him everything that had happened to him.

Charlie's life was a tragedy, and I guessed more than half of this tragedy, and the other half I didn't guess was even more cruel.

As Charlie himself said, he was born a boy and remained a boy until he was fourteen. But being a boy doesn't save him from Stephenson's clutches, and his demon dad tortures him even more brutally and makes him dress up like a girl, all to satisfy Stephenson's perverted desire for violence.

When Charlie was thirteen years old, Stephenson lost his ability to be a man, but Charlie's fate did not end there.

Stephenson forced Charlie to have sex with his sister several times a day, and a few months later, Charlie's sister turned out to be pregnant.

Annoyed by this, Stephenson brutally castrated Charlie and used various tools to torture Charlie even more.

Six years later, when Stephenson extended his claws to Charlie's daughter, Charlie finally couldn't control his anger, so he killed Stephenson, killed his mother, and also killed his sister.

Charlie then defected to Spencer, who had shown concern for their family, and received Spencer's sympathy, and eventually he stayed by Spencer's side. Perhaps because of the loss of his masculine features, Charlie's heart also changed, and he found himself in love with Spencer, especially the portrait that Spencer painted for him.

But when Charlie finally had the courage to express his heart to Spencer, in exchange for Spencer's cold refusal and expulsion.

The reason is very simple, Charlie is not a woman, he is just a monster who is neither male nor female.

Spencer's refusal left Charlie in complete despair, and in his desperation, Charlie finally did something he didn't even expect - he killed Spencer with his own hands after Spencer's art exhibition.

Looking at Spencer's body hanging on the beam, Charlie suddenly realized that he couldn't leave Spencer at all, and he hugged Spencer's leg in the hope that Spencer could come back, but it was not Spencer's people who called back, but Spencer's special feelings for Charlie.

Spencer didn't blame Charlie, all he left behind was the guilt that had tormented him. If Spencer had come to the rescue when he first met Charlie, Charlie would not have been what he is at all. So Spencer couldn't face Charlie and couldn't face the guilt in his heart, and this guilt didn't finally ascend to heaven with Spencer's soul, but met Charlie again as an evil spirit and completely fused. Subsequently, Charlie noticed a strange change in himself.

In the years that followed, Charlie searched for the cause of the changes in him, and eventually he learned that he had become a wizard, and he had also turned himself into a real woman through witchcraft, and his horse into his own spirit animal.

As the years passed, Charlie's soul gradually passed, and she lost her feelings and gradually became an evil walking corpse. Her evil deeds also attracted the attention of the wizard hunters, so she sealed Liliang in the painting and asked Gerald to take it to a safe place for him, China.

The truth of the matter is finally clear, and the source of the evil spirit turns out to be the painter Spencer. The suicidal guilt is not Stephenson's soul, but the evil spirit Liliang in the painting.

Almost all the puzzles were solved, but I was still curious that Gerald didn't snatch the painting from China.

I asked Qiao Wei's dad to ask Charlie.

Charlie replied that Gerald wanted to get the painting back, but when he entered Gu Feng's house at night, he accidentally bumped into three people. Gerald can only use the evil spirit Liliang in the painting to fight the three people, but the evil spirit Liliang is ineffective against one of them, Zuihou Gerald lost to that person in the fight, and was still injured, so he can only choose to escape, but the person pursues him relentlessly.

It took Gerald more than half a month to get rid of the man and escape back to England, so it's not that he can't get the painting back, it's just that he hasn't had a chance to do it.

This result is definitely exciting, Tang Hui is not missing, he is just hiding to spy on Gerald. He may have known that something was wrong with Gerald, and he also knew that he would be taken away by the police as long as he went back to the police station or contacted me and Qiao Wei, so he chose to solve the problem by himself, and his choice also helped us to leave the painting by our side by mistake.

The next day, we found Spencer's grave, where we performed a formal purification ceremony. This time, the evil spirit on the painting is finally gone, and we can finally burn the painting and overtake the ghost of Stephenson on it. After returning home, we also let Charlie's soul completely disappear from this shijie.

Charlie's tragic life ended with his career as a wizard.

After I, Shu Xin, and Qiao Wei returned to China, Tang Hui finally appeared.

As Lei Qishan said, Tang Hui does not need to bear any criminal responsibility, everything has nothing to do with him. But he suddenly disappeared and was given a major demerit and was temporarily suspended. But none of this matters, the most important thing is that he doesn't have anything to do.

We told Gu Feng the final results of the investigation, and he also gave us a reward again, and I happened to take 50,000 yuan from the honorarium and gave it to Zhang Yuchi to settle the account.

After this trip, November passed like this.

What kind of weird and mysterious cases will be waiting for us to investigate? Maybe the customer will come to the door soon.
