I was worried that the female ghost would lure the one-armed monster out again, so I took her out of the path behind the building, and waited for Xi Lin in Yin Yang next to a shop across the road. Before he came out, I tried to communicate with the ghost, but no matter how much I talked to her, she ignored me, even if I used the meditation mantra repeatedly.

It is undeniable that when it comes to dealing with ghosts, Xi Lin is much stronger than me, much stronger.

After more than ten minutes, Xi Lin came out of the hospital gate, and I immediately walked under the street lamp and waved at him. Xi Lin saw me, but he raised his hand and motioned for me to wait a moment, and then he went to the back of the building alone, and came out after two minutes.

When he crossed the road to my side, I immediately said, "I took this female ghost to the back of the building just now, and a one-armed monster came out of the spiritual path."

Well. Xi Lin nodded at me, I underestimated it, but it's okay now.

He still cherished words like gold, and he didn't seem to be interested in explaining more. Then, he walked straight to the female ghost, and then muttered something in the female ghost's ear. His voice was so low that I couldn't make out what he was saying, but one thing I was sure of was that he wasn't speaking Chinese, or not human at all.

After Xi Lin muttered those few words, the female ghost immediately stopped crying. She looked at Xi Lin, showing an aggrieved and painful expression, and then pointed to the west side of the road.

Take me there. Xi Lin ordered.

The female ghost nodded, and then walked along the road, in the shadows, to the west.

Xi Lin didn't go to drive, so he followed the female ghost on foot, while I took a bicycle and rode to follow.

The female ghost walked for nearly 20 minutes, and finally came to the downstairs of an old five-story building. She paused downstairs for a moment, with a strange expression on her face, as if she was nervous, as if she was excited. After a while, she finally moved again, going upstairs, going upstairs, and stopping at the door on the left side of the fourth floor.

Xi Lin knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered inside.

I went over and nudged him aside, then took out the master key and tried it a few times, and soon the door was opened.

I went in and turned on the light, then took a few brief glances around the room.

The house is clean, in every sense of the word, and it doesn't seem like the problem is with the house. However, Xie Ru's house was also very clean before, but in the end, ghosts came out of the sewers, so I didn't let my guard down because of this, but carefully rummaged through the house to see if there was anything to suppress ghosts in this house.

But as soon as I searched a room, I realized that it didn't make any sense, because the female ghost who had brought us had already entered the house and was lying on the bed in the bedroom, with a serene and serene expression.

Obviously, there was nothing in this house to suppress ghosts.

Gradually, the female ghost's spirit began to become blurry and transparent, and I walked up to her and whispered a mantra to send her on her last journey. After a while, the ghost of the female ghost left this room and this world completely.

I sighed lightly, then turned my head to look at Xi Lin.

Xi Lin didn't seem to pay attention to the female ghost's stay at all, he stood in front of the dresser, looking down at the photo frame standing in the cabinet.

Got a discovery? I walked over and asked.

Not. He said coldly, and then walked away from the dresser, and went back to the rest of the place.

I didn't bother to ask him anything more, so I went over and looked at the picture in the frame. As Xi Lin said, these photos really don't seem to have much value, but it is precisely because of the lack that there is something that stands out even more.

The photos are basically single photos of the deceased, and occasionally a few group photos are of her with her parents and a few of two or three women, presumably either classmates or colleagues. In addition, the woman who died was not beautiful, strictly speaking, she should belong to the ugly type, and judging by all circumstances, she does not seem to have a boyfriend.

So who exactly does she want to meet? The one-armed monster was clearly associated with someone by the woman, someone she had always loved, or longed for, but this person was not single-minded, and he even teased the gynecologist.

Got it. Xi Lin suddenly said on the other side of the bookcase.

I quickly retracted my train of thought and walked over to him to ask him what he had found, and instead of answering, he handed me a book.

The cover of that book is very literary and beautiful, and the title of the book also exudes a strong literary atmosphere. I took a brief look at it, and this is a very ordinary urban romance novel, which does not involve death, let alone suicide, revenge or anything like that.

But I soon discovered that the problem was not with the book, but with the author.

The author's pen name is Xiao Jiang, and there are many books that are also marked with Xiao Jiang's name in the small bookcase.

Do you think the child in her belly has something to do with this Xiao Jiang? I asked.

Possible. I just checked on the Internet, Xiao Jiang is a man, and he announced the closure of the pen half a month ago, which is very suspicious. Xi Lin replied.

I also quickly took out my mobile phone and searched for Xiao Jiang, and the results came out soon, but unfortunately the information was not very complete.

According to information on the Internet, Xiao Jiang is a native of Xijing, male, age unknown, and there is only one photo of him at the signing party, but he wears a hat and a mask, and does not seem to want people to know his appearance. Xiao Jiang has been writing since 06, with an average of two books per year, and this book is a high-quality one, which can be regarded as a prolific writer. But two months ago, he suddenly announced on the Internet that he had closed his pen, and no one knew why.

If this Xiao Jiang is dead, can you find out where his soul is? I asked.

Xi Lin shook his head.

It seems that the yin is not a panacea. I laughed.

He didn't pay attention to my words, and just continued to follow his pace and said to me: I will check this Xiao Jiang and use the resources on my side, but you may need to help and use your identity in the follow-up matters.

So you're begging me? I asked with an eyebrow raised and a smile.

Xi Lin glanced at me, then turned around and walked to the door without saying a word.

I hurriedly chased after him and stopped him and said, "Why don't you have any sense of humor?"

Xi Lin turned his head and stared at me with a straight face, and he didn't speak.

Well, I'm convinced. I don't want to spend any more time with this rigid and stubborn guy, I compromised: Call me when you need my help, Ji Jiulan knows my number, I turn on 24 hours a day, you can find me at any time.

Xi Lin nodded, then pushed the door and went downstairs.

In the next three days, everything was calm, there were still some miscellaneous chores on my side, there was no news from the death assistant as usual, and there was no major movement on Xi Lin's side.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, an unfamiliar landline phone number came into my mobile phone, I picked up the phone, and Xi Lin's voice came out immediately, and it was very brief.

There's a clue, come to the bureau.

I also learned his style and didn't answer at all, just hung up the phone, and then got up and went out. Twenty minutes later, I arrived at Ji Jiulan's office, where the Ninth Princess and Xi Lin were waiting for me, with several large page folders on the table, and it seemed that they had been investigating for the past three and a half days.

Found that Xiao Jiang? I asked, pulled a chair and sat down, then picked up a folder closest to me and flipped through it.

Ji Jiulan replied: Xiao Jiang's real name is Zhang Dong, and he left Xijing by plane a month ago, and his destination is in your hands.

I hurriedly looked for it on the page folder in my hand, and sure enough, it clearly wrote Zhang Dong's flight record, as well as the location of his last appearance, Boyang City, although it was not the city where I was, but it was not particularly far from here, and it was only 2 or 3 hours away by car.

What was the name of the woman he had come to die for? I asked.

It doesn't matter what it's called. Ji Jiulan replied: The key is that I checked her travel records, she took a bus to Boyang a month ago, and the time was only three days away from the date when Zhang Dong came. I contacted a police academy classmate who worked in Boyang, and although she didn't help me find Zhang Dong, she told me a strange thing.

As soon as I heard the word weird, I immediately felt refreshed.

What's weird? I asked.

My classmate's boyfriend, a cardiac surgeon, had a particularly bizarre case a month ago, and it could be put simply: the patient's heart was malformed, shaped like a fetus. She showed me the picture, here. After speaking, Ji Jiulan handed me another folder.

I took it and quickly opened it, and there was an X-ray in the folder, and there was a fetus curled up in the chest of a person, and the other internal organs of that person could be found on the picture, but there was no heart.

This person is also related to Xiao Jiang? I asked.

Well. Ji Jiulan nodded, it is said that this patient is Xiao Jiang's book lover.

It seems that it is necessary to go to Boyang. I say.

In the afternoon of the same day, I, Ji Jiulan, and Xi Lin, the three of us set off together to rush to Boyang City.

Because I was in a hurry, I didn't drive my four-wheeled battery and took the car of the Nine Princesses directly. Although I also did all kinds of emergency treatment before getting into the car, there was still a small accident on the road, my head accidentally hit the car window, and the corner of my forehead was hit with a bag. I knew what happened to this accident, so I had already made up my mind that I would rather walk on foot than take a car when I came back.

After the three of us arrived in Boyang, we went directly to meet Ji Jiulan's classmate from the police academy.

Unlike the manly Nine Princesses, her classmate was much gentler and more pleasant. When they met and greeted, her classmate told me a secret about the Nine Princesses, it turned out that Ji Jiulan had a nickname when she was in school, called the bender, because she was so handsome, many girls simply graduated from the straight girl career, and so far I haven't heard that Ji Jiulan has a boyfriend, and her sexual orientation has always been a mystery.

Ji Jiulan didn't care about this half-joking revelation, and after laughing, she also went straight to the point to express her intentions, and her classmates immediately contacted his boyfriend. Half an hour later, we met with the heart surgeon at the police station, along with a psychiatrist, and the two of them witnessed the strange and terrifying sickness.
