7, the real body of the ghost fire
All the clues seemed to be equipped with a pointer, and the arrows of the pointer undoubtedly all pointed to Sun Tiefeng. Although I don't want to admit it, Sun Tiefeng really can't be a serial killer, and the only thing he can kill is a table of dishes!
Tormented by a strong sense of frustration, I decided to try to save some face on Sun Tiefeng. I asked him if he remembered anything special he did in January, especially before January 6th.
Sun Tiefeng recalled it very seriously, and then shook his head and said, "It seems that I haven't done anything, just go to work and eat normally." What's so special about it, you say? β
"Like killing?" I casually asked.
"Kill, this kill! It should be ......" Sun Tiefeng thought there for a long time with his eyes open, and then said: "It should be on the fourth day!" I remember that it was a three-day holiday on New Year's Day, and when I came back to work, a dog came from the community, barking very fiercely, and a few of us on duty knocked the dog to death. β
No way!
My heart moved, this Sun Tiefeng is really a killer, but he killed not a human but a dog!
"And what about later? What about the dog? I pressed on.
"Eat. After we were killed, we took it to a dog meat restaurant to eat. Sun Tiefeng gave an answer that was completely in line with his image.
The frustration that was torturing me just now all disappeared at once, my reasoning was correct, Sun Tiefeng did kill, and really killed a table of dishes!
I hurriedly turned my head and asked Qiao Wei, "Is it possible for a dog to become a ghost?" β
Qiao Wei frowned and nodded: "Dogs understand human nature, especially pet dogs, and they are the most likely to become ghosts." If you are eaten, this way of dying can also be linked to fire. β
After hearing this, I looked at Sun Tiefeng again and asked him if the dog he killed was a pet dog.
Sun Tiefeng thought for a moment and replied that he didn't know what breed the dog was, it looked a bit like a wolf dog, but the fur was grayish-white, and it was estimated that it was a second string. As he spoke, he gestured with both hands to the size of the dog.
I also know too much about dogs, but there is no such thing as a flowing Lang dog in my house, because Liulang has to go to the table in a few days, plus the three high-rise buildings are across the street from Xinglin Park, and there are always dog walkers in it, so nine out of nine of those dogs are anyone's large pet dogs.
Just as we were studying the dogs, another security guard, who had just gone on patrol, hurriedly ran into the duty room, and then pointed to his head panting and said, "Fire...... Fire...... Fire Fire Fire ...... The fire is back! β
Qiao Wei was the first to rush out of the duty room after hearing this, and I followed closely, followed by Tang Hui and a few other people in the room.
The security guard's duty room is an independent hut on the right side of the community gate, and there is a distance of dozens of meters from here to the three high-rises, so there is still an angle to see the upstairs from standing outside the duty room.
There was indeed a light flickering on the building on the far right, and the light flickered on and off as if it was beating, and it was really not like a light but more like a fire. In addition, the light only stayed in one window, and there was no intention of scurrying around the building, which was obviously the same as the ghost fire that hurt people for the first time on January 6th.
"This should be it, I'll go up and have a look." Qiao Wei put down the next sentence and ran to the upper level.
When the security captain heard this, he was anxious, ran three steps and grabbed Qiao Wei's shoulder, and dragged him back and said, "This can't go up!" It's not good to get killed! β
Qiao Wei smiled and pushed the security captain's hand away to thank him, and then said, "Don't worry, I can deal with this, if you let it go, it will be easier to cause death." β
"And that ghost fire should only attack the security guards, and it should be harmless to us." I added a sentence for Qiao Wei, and then stepped forward and followed Qiao Wei - my meaning is very clear, if you want to go into the building to catch the ghost fire, you must bring me one.
The security captain hesitated, but Zuihou still chose to believe Qiao Wei and me's words and stopped stopping Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei raised his chin at Tang Hui again and said, "Do you want to go in and open your eyes?" β
Tang Hui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you two go busy, since there was a misunderstanding before, then I will go back first, if there is anything you need my help with, call me and promise to be on call." β
Qiao Wei made an "OK" gesture at Tang Hui, then tilted his head at me to signal me to follow, and then walked quickly to the third building next to Xiangyou.
Because the building is unoccupied all year round, and there is nothing worth stealing, the large double-opening glass door that enters the building is not locked. As soon as I followed Qiao Wei into the building, the entire hall on the first floor was lit up.
Before I came over, I deliberately counted that the floor with fire was on the thirteenth floor, and fortunately the elevator was working, which also saved me a lot of effort.
Taking advantage of the time when the elevator was going up, Qiao Wei also told me a few words. He said don't panic about what I see later, just follow him and stand behind him.
Qiao Wei's tone was quite relaxed, and he didn't say anything about giving me a few more substitute talismans or anything, and it was estimated that the danger factor must be within a completely controllable range.
The elevator quickly reached the thirteenth floor.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator door, the lights in the hallway came on. Judging by the location of the previous fire, the room that caught fire should be the one at the end of the left side of the hallway. I glanced in the direction of the door, and there was no sign of fire at all, not only was there no fire, there was no smoke, and there was not a single smell of smoke in the hallway.
I followed Qiao Wei to the door of the room at the end.
The security guard who was injured on January 6 should have been rushed away by the anger the moment the door was opened, so when Qiao Wei reached for the door, I couldn't help but get nervous.
However, Qiao Wei did not open the door, but put his index and middle fingers together, and drew a charm on the door crookedlyβI don't know when a layer of gold dust was already on his fingers.
Qiao Wei drew three identical symbols on the door, which were obviously different from the long, circle-shaped ones he had drawn before, and felt like some kind of hieroglyphs. I guess the spell you choose varies depending on the type of ghost you're dealing with.
After the spell was drawn, Qiao Wei took out two more yellow paper talismans he used to use from his jacket pocket, and then began to mumble in a low voice.
I thought he was thinking about something like the fire dodging, so I took it seriously to see if there was any change on the surface of his body, such as a layer of water attaching to it, or a coolness or something. And just as I was concentrating on finding these feelings, Qiao Wei suddenly retracted, and then slapped the yellow paper charm on the door with his left hand.
Almost as soon as he did so, the door slammed open, and a giant flame erupted from the door!
The fire came so suddenly that I didn't even have time to react, the flame giant Lang had already engulfed me! But strangely enough, I didn't feel any burning, I didn't feel anything, to be exact.
Qiao Wei stood in front of me with his back to me, I couldn't see what he had done to this ghost fire, anyway, this fire couldn't get close to the two of us, and it all went around us.
At this moment, in the midst of the whirring of the flames, I distinctly heard a wolf-like howl coming from the house. I peeked out into the room and saw a fire dog rushing out of the room, barking at the same time.
