9. Eliminate them one by one
It is not an easy task to completely remove the ghost mudra from the body.
Xiao Guo said that the bone powder will penetrate into the human body through the skin the moment it comes into contact with the skin, and then through the blood circulation to the dermis layer at the wrist or ankle, where it will attach and begin to release corpse poison. With the combination of strange dreams and ghost handprints, the strange root of bone meal is also well hidden.
So in the next few days, Qiao Wei and Ye Hong had to have a small operation to remove the bone meal attached to the dermis through medical means. Of course, there was also the option to get rid of the belt bone meal, but we didn't choose either.
The operation was performed in Xiao Guo's private hospital, and the whole operation did not even bleed, but it was more time-consuming. After taking out all the bone powder, Xiao Guo also specially demonstrated her spiritualism to us, and I finally saw the complete ghost information with my own eyes - there were many people in a large pit, they were being burned, and the people who climbed to the edge of the pit were shouting "help me", but Zuihou still fell back into the pit and was burned to death.
In order to make sure that no bone meal remained in my body, I had to stay here for three days after the surgery, which was exactly what I wanted, or strictly speaking, Shu Xin.
As I expected, Xiao Guo's personality and temper are exactly the same as Shu Xin's, and even some hobbies are surprisingly consistent! On the day of the operation, the two women had a drink to celebrate, but after drinking three bottles of beer in a row, they actually began to discuss how to strip Qiao Wei and me naked and take pictures together! I saw that it was not good and quickly dragged Shu Xin away, Ye Hong went over to stop Xiao Guo, and glanced at Qiao Wei to make him run away, Zuihou The meal was over after only half of the drink.
The three-day observation period was relaxed and enjoyable, but after I said goodbye to Ye Hong and Xiao Guo and got on the return plane, I immediately entered the thinking mode.
Early the next morning after I got home, I asked Qiao Wei to go to An Junliang's shop in the West Development Zone of the city - in order to find out what the ghost message was talking about, we must first find out its source, and An Junliang was our only clue.
As soon as I entered the store, a complete set of King Kong Gorilla long-haired suits filled my eyeballs, followed by a skull suit, a Superman suit, a Spider-Man suit, and an Iron Man mask...... Strange things jumped into my sight one after another! Only then did I know that An Junliang's clothing store was not ordinary.
Because he didn't inform An Junliang before he came, he was very surprised when he saw me and Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei first gave An Junliang a pill to treat corpse poison, and then told him that he would arrange a minor operation for him the day after tomorrow, so that the ghost handprint could be completely eradicated. An Junliang obviously didn't expect Zuihou's solution to turn out to be surgery, so the surprise on his face became even more obvious. However, he didn't ask much else, but took the medicine that Qiao Wei gave him with great trust.
Later, Qiao Wei asked An Junliang if anyone had touched the handprints on his ankles in the past few days.
An Junliang replied that he hadn't shown it to the fourth person except me, Qiao Wei and Tang Hui, and even his girlfriend didn't know the handprints on his ankles, let alone the strange dreams he had. I guess it had something to do with the fact that there were always naked women in our dreams, but it did us a big favor.
"Don't show it to anyone in the future, and don't let anyone touch it. This thing is contagious, and both Thunder and I are infected, and I've just figured out what's going on. Qiao Wei told An Junliangdao.
As soon as An Junliang heard this, he hurriedly told Qiao Wei and me, saying that he didn't know that it would cause such a big trouble to the two of us.
Qiao Wei hurriedly waved his hand and said it didn't matter, and then asked An Junliang if he had touched a similar ghost handprint on the day he had a strange dream for the first time, and reminded him that the handprint might be on his wrist.
An Junliang recalled it very seriously, but he didn't remember what handprints he had touched.
In the mystery stories I write, the key clues are often not surprising, but exist in some everyday trivial things that are not taken seriously. So I asked An Junliang to tell me everything that happened from morning to night on the day he had the strange dream, including the process of pooping and peeing.
However, this is easier said than recalled.
An Junliang clearly remembers that the first time he had a strange dream was on February 17, because it was the eighth day of the first lunar month, the day when the Spring Festival holiday officially ended and he returned to work. But apart from the fact that he remembered the date clearly, he could only name four other things.
The first was that in the morning he bought a batch of voodoo dolls, because he had not sold a single one of these dolls until now, so he was very impressed; The second was a group of young men fighting at the intersection about 50 meters east of the store, and then the police came and the group of boys ran away; The third thing is that it was the first day in the three years since the store was opened, and not a single customer came in from morning to night; The fourth is that I ate the pot wrapped meat made by my girlfriend at night, which was very unpalatable.
An Junliang remembers a completely uneventful day, but there is one thing that I care about very much! So I immediately asked, "You said there were no guests from morning till night that day?" ”
"yes, that's the first time, and there's not even anyone who comes in and has a casual look."
"Then you didn't talk to anyone on your way home?"
"I ride a motorcycle, and after the store closed, I went straight to my girlfriend's house, and I went home in the evening after dinner, and I didn't have any contact with anyone in between. My girlfriend definitely doesn't have a handprint, I'm sure of that. ”
"What about the delivery person? Do you have that person's phone? ”
"I have a ...... this" An Junliang took out his mobile phone and began to look for the number, and at the same time I: "Do you think he contracted this strange disease?" ”
"I'm not sure about this, but now I can only rule it out little by little. You just ask him if he's had any weird dreams or something. I replied truthfully.
An Junliang found out the number of the delivery person and dialed the phone directly, and soon the phone was connected. After a brief hello, An Junliang asked as I said, and he got the answer "No, not at all, lying that I am your son".
Although this oath is not poisonous, it is still very credible, so the most suspicious one of the four things An Junliang remembers has also been ruled out.
There are no ghost handprints on her girlfriend's body, and young people can't stick anything to fight with, who will infect An Junliang with this corpse poisonous bone powder?
While thinking about this question, my eyes also fell on the strange goods in the store. Suddenly! I realized something that Qiao Weiquan and I had overlooked - the source of infection may not be a person!
"Goods! Cargo goods! I almost jumped up from my chair excitedly, "An Junliang, where is the doll that entered on the eighth day of your junior high school?" Take it all out! ”
"Ah~! yes, why did I forget about this stubble! Qiao Wei also slapped his thigh, obviously thinking of this as well.
An Junliang cooperated and took out two cardboard boxes from the simple warehouse at the back of the store, which were full of all kinds of weirdly shaped woolen dolls, the number of which was estimated to be hundreds. There were also two hanging at the door of the same style line doll shop, and An Junliang also took off the two samples and threw them into the doll pile in the cardboard box.
Next, Qiao Wei and I touched all the voodoo dolls one by one like a body search, not letting go of any of them, leaving no dead ends. If it was really these dolls who were spreading corpse poison bone powder, then Qiao Wei and I would inevitably have strange dreams tonight.
