I breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the knife that had fallen to the ground.

I looked at the scar on my arm, it was obvious that someone had choked it. I was a little scared and didn't know what to do.

As the saying goes, if you sit at home behind closed doors, disaster will come from heaven. I've seen it today.

I looked at the candle and wondered, "Could it be that the beggar is dead?" So turn into a ghost and come to me for revenge? ”

I picked up the big knife and kept circling around the room. I made up my mind that after dawn, I would definitely go to the broken yard to have a look.

I sat in bed until dawn, and then I came out. Eat something casually at a roadside stall, and slowly look for the broken yard.

That night, I sneakily followed the beggar all the way, both nervously and darkly. So when I looked for it again during the day, I couldn't find it.

I walked around the city for a long time, slowly reminiscing. Finally, near noon, I found the lonely courtyard.

I stood cautiously outside the courtyard wall, leaning against the low wall and looking inside. The courtyard was empty, and there seemed to be no one.

I crouched down, picked up a rock, and threw it in the yard. With a thud, the stone fell to the ground. It made quite a noise.

The courtyard was silent, and no one seemed to come out to check on the situation.

I walked around to the door and pushed it gently, and I pushed it open with a soft thud.

I walked in cautiously. There was a rancid smell in the courtyard. I sniffed, and the rancid smell seemed to come from inside the room.

I didn't dare to enter the house, so I leaned on the window and took a look. This look made me jump. There was a beggar lying in the house, and it was clear that he had been dead for a long time.

Actually, I had expected this result, but when I saw his corpse, I still couldn't help but sigh.

I sighed, walked out of the yard, and called the police.

I don't know where this place is, so I described it randomly. Half an hour later, two police cars drove up.

The police car stopped not far from me, and Officer Shi pushed the door and walked down. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, how come there are you everywhere there are dead people?" ”

I said cautiously, "Don't say that, you don't know, you think I'm a murderer." ”

Immediately after, another voice said: "Don't worry, I will testify to you, you are very innocent." ”

As soon as I heard this voice, I was immediately stunned. I saw Secretary Wang. He changed into a suit again, his hair was dyed black, and he was in a lot of energy.

I couldn't help but say, "Secretary Wang, why are you everywhere?" ”

Secretary Wang smiled and said, "I've been moving around recently, and I happened to be having dinner with Officer Shi just now, and I heard that you have a situation here, so the two of us threw down our chopsticks and rushed over." What do you think? Interesting enough, right? ”

I nodded. Then he asked, "How's your activity going?" When will the official be reinstated? ”

Secretary Wang waved his hand and said, "Soon, soon." ”

The police have their own set of procedures for handling cases. About twenty minutes passed. So they came back and reported that they had ruled out the possibility of his killing.

Officer Shi asked a few more words, but I didn't care, and sat in the police car and called Xue Qian.

Xue Qian asked me lazily, "Lao Zhao, where have you been?" Why aren't you in a haunted house today? ”

I sighed and said, "Something happened to me. I'm in the police car now, I'll go to your house later, and you can pack up and go back. ”

Xue Qian asked a little anxiously, "What's the matter?" Why did you get into the police car again? ”

I said a little tiredly: "I'm fine, don't worry, I'll go back and explain it in detail later." ”

After the call, I felt very tired. Leaning on the seat of the car, I fell asleep in a daze.

I heard the police talking around me. I also felt the car start, and it kept jolting. It felt like I was back in my baby, lying in the cradle, and I became even more sleepy, and soon fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I heard a policeman call me, "Brother Zhao, it's here, it's time to get out of the car." ”

I rubbed my eyes, looked out the car window, and sure enough, I arrived at Xue Qian's house.

I looked at the police, and it was just me and the little cop driving. I can see that he sent me all the way here. I thanked him and pushed the door open.

When I walked to Xue Qian's house, I saw that Xue Qian had indeed returned.

When he saw me, he asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" You didn't make it clear on the phone, which made me nervous. ”

I sighed and said with a bit of a grimace, "I'm getting dirty again." ”

Aunt Xue was sitting next to her drinking tea, but when she heard my words, she couldn't help but say, "Zhao Mang, how did you do it, didn't I tell you?" Don't mess with those things all the time. ”

She saw that I was arguing, and said, "Don't tell me that they came to me on their own initiative." If flies don't bite seamless eggs, who will have nothing to do with you? ”

I scratched my head and thought to myself: I live in an empty house, and they come to me, isn't it normal?

I sighed and said, "Aunt Xue, I admit that this time I was too talkative. But when I provoked him, he was still alive. I didn't know that he had become a ghost and came to me again. ”

Xue Qian asked strangely, "What do you mean?" You killed him?

I shook my head and said, "Do you remember that beggar?" I kindly persuaded him to save his life. Who knew that he didn't appreciate it, but wronged me and got his wife away. ”

Subsequently, I went through the events of the past two days in detail.

Aunt Xue frowned all the time when she heard this: "Can a dead person come back to life?" It doesn't sound like something serious. ”

I asked the two of them, "What about Mr. Lu?" Are you still in retreat? ”

Aunt Xue shook her head and said, "He stopped retreating a few days ago. I heard him say that the bead didn't seem to be from the Central Plains. He's been running outside for the past two days, and he doesn't know what he's doing. ”

sat at Xue Qian's house for a while. In the evening, Mr. Lu hurried back.

I said, "Mr. Lu, I have something to do with you. ”

Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment, stopped, and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?" What's the matter? ”

I briefly repeat what I just said.

Mr. Lu said absentmindedly: "It turned out to be the revenge of the wronged ghost." It's simple. You're waiting in the empty house tonight. I'll go to you at night and solve it. ”

I don't think he cares about it. couldn't help but remind: "Have you listened carefully?" How do I feel like you're perfunctory to me? "The array is drawn.

Mr. Lu waved his hand and said, "This bead seems to have reacted." I'll have to take a closer look. Don't disturb me, I'll go to you at night. ”

Then he went into the house and refused to come out again.

I sighed and sat back on the couch. Aunt Xue said, "Zhao Mang, let's go after dinner." By the way, wait for Mr. Lu, maybe he will end the retreat in a while? ”

I nodded, and waited while eating. The meal was eaten until after nine o'clock. Mr. Lu still didn't move, so I waved my hand and said, "Forget it, I'd better go back." Mr. Lu is out, don't forget to ask him to find me. ”

When I had finished my explanation, I hurried back to the empty house.

With a big knife in my arms, I sat on the threshold, and put on a posture that I couldn't open a husband. I kept looking, but Mr. Lu never appeared.

I looked at my phone and it was almost early in the morning.

I was a little impatient and thought, "Why haven't you come by this time?" Have you forgotten me? ”

I couldn't help but call Xue Qian, and asked with a face, "Old Xue, how is Mr. Lu?" Did you come out? Are you still contemplating that bead? You call him out first. ”

Xue Qian said with some surprise: "Didn't you see him?" He was out a long time ago. ”

Xue Qian's words made me stunned: "You already went out?" How long has it been? ”

Xue Qian said: "It's been more than half an hour. ”

I was stunned: "More than half an hour?" It doesn't make sense, I'm here for more than ten minutes from Xue Qian's house. Where did Mr. Lu go? ”

I was thinking about it, when I heard a chaotic ringing of bells from the direction of the street, exactly the same as a few days ago.
