"Thunder! Thunder! Can you hear me? Thunder ......"

Qiao Wei's voice rang in my ears from time to time, and everything around me gradually changed from white back to the previous hospital room.

I was still crouching beside Glenn, who was still unconscious, and there was only a little flame left in the holy oil fire ring not far away, and it seemed that I had been communicating with the goddess for a long time.

"Hey! Thunder! ”

Qiao Wei shouted at me again, and then I came back to my senses and looked at him, "I saw the goddess just now, and she gave me a sword to kill someone!" ”

"Huh? This...... How can it be! Qiao Wei obviously didn't believe my words.

I looked down at my right hand, and I did hold something in my hand, but it was not the sword of punishment given to me by the goddess, but the pistol that Ye Hong gave me to fight ghosts.

Probably because of the female God's interference in my brain, I felt that my head was a mess, and I didn't know where to start explaining to Qiao Wei the weird things I had just experienced. But Qiao Wei was much more sober than me, he pointed to a pile of black powder in the middle of the holy oil fire ring and said: "I have already determined, it is the ghost wish, I have temporarily blocked its action, and then I just need to find the root cause!" ”

"Is that the ashes left over from the burned wings?" I asked, staring at the pile of black powder.

Qiao Wei nodded, "In fact, most of the so-called exorcisms are like this, and most of the devils are formed by ghosts in response to people's wishes." If you believe in God, you have to believe in the devil, there is a huge number of believers, and it only takes an opportunity to gather these beliefs to form the devil, but fortunately, in these beliefs, the devil has a weakness, and the angels are the same! ”

Qiao Wei's popular science explanation gradually cleared my head, "So you thought from the beginning that it would be a ghost's wish?" ”

"It's not me, it's us, haven't we been investigating this matter on the premise of ghosts and ghosts all along, as for gods and the like, it's just another option, and now we can exclude the option of 'god', without a god, it's just a ghost!"

"Well, I believe it's a ghost, but that ghost has shown me something special, a gardener with an exploding head who will kill an old lady tomorrow night......" I breathed a sigh of relief, and then told Qiao Wei about the conversation I had just had with the goddess and everything she had shown me.

Qiao Wei was silent for a while after listening to this, and then he also looked at me with a tight brow: "So you believe what she said to you, and accept the Sword of Punishment, you are going to kill that explosive head?" ”

"Nope! How could it be! I smiled and waved my hand at Qiao Wei, "I accepted the sword of punishment, but that doesn't mean that I will kill that explosive head, in addition to killing people, we have other ways to deal with him, don't forget that we are running a detective agency, compared to being a killer, solving the case should be our specialty!" ”

"How do you check?"

"Steps......" I thought for a moment, "I think we must first find a police officer who is willing to believe us, and let him help find out all the cases where the old lady was disemboweled." Then let's go to the blast head and try to get evidence from him, and Zuihou will throw him in prison. ”

"The words of the police are ready-made!" Qiao Wei immediately took over and said.

"Let's start now!"

"Hmm." Qiao Wei nodded in response, then got up and ran to the door to call back the few priests who had gone out earlier. After a few brief words, Qiao Wei handed over Glenn's business to a few priests, and then we went to the police officer, who had sent us a message.

It was easy for us to meet the officer at the door of the ward where the burly man had been locked up.

As soon as he saw me and Qiao Wei, he immediately greeted me with a smile, and enthusiastically asked if we had found any valuable clues.

Qiao Wei nodded at him, and then briefly told him what had happened.

While listening to this, the expression on Mr. Officer's face also changed in a complicated way, and when Qiao Wei mentioned the old lady who was disemboweled, Mr. Officer's eyes widened even more, and beads of sweat even flowed from the corners of his forehead.

Without waiting for Qiao Wei to finish the matter, Mr. Police Officer couldn't wait to speak: "There is indeed such a murder case, although my position is not high and I am not qualified to participate in the investigation, but as far as I know, from 09 to now, five old ladies who live alone have been killed, all of them died in bed, and their stomachs were completely dissected, just like a demonic ritual!" So, is God going to let you put an end to that demon? ”

"I'm sorry, we don't want to be locked up here like the two people before, you should also know that even if the two people who were killed before deserved it, these two people will definitely not be found innocent." I didn't care if my grammar was correct or whether I used "Chinese English" or not, but I told the police officer what I meant.

He seemed to understand what I was trying to say, and a look of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face, but soon his eyes widened again and said, "Then what are you going to do?" To investigate that exploding head? I should be able to help with that, and while I can't do without it for now, I can introduce you to someone who would be interested in working with you to investigate the Explosive Head Killer. ”

"Oh? Who is this person? Qiao Wei asked.

"Daniel Brown? Brown)! ”

"That's a familiar name!" Qiao Wei said with a frown.

Mr. Police Officer grinned, "With the same name as an athlete, it seems that there is an American writer with a name that is also very similar to hers, and it just so happens that in addition to being a detective, she is also a detective fiction writer, and her book has been in the top ten of the British detective fiction bestseller list for two consecutive years, and she also won a silver award last year." ”

"Female?" Qiao Wei was surprised.

"Hmm. But don't underestimate her, she is now a hot celebrity, and she specializes in gnawing those hard bones, and she has been in charge of tracking down the case of the single old woman's disembowelment, and it has been four years, if you tell her the clues, she will definitely be very happy! ”

is both a detective and a detective fiction writer, in a sense, this Daniel Brown and I are also peers, but I am not a professional in detectives, and writing novels is even more of a ticket nature, compared to her, I am a complete amateur.

Probably because of my lack of pride, I felt a sense of rejection for this Daniel Brown, and I really didn't want to have any contact with her if I could.

But Qiao Wei seems to be completely opposite to what I think, Mr. Officer's voice hasn't fallen yet, he has already taken out his mobile phone and is about to remember the phone number, it seems that our cooperation with this Daniel Brown has basically become a settlement! The only thing I could expect was that the female detective was not interested in us.

Unfortunately, my expectations were disappointed, and Mr. Officer quickly contacted Brown and handed the phone to Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei had barely spoken two words before a woman's hurried and excited shouts came from the phone, which I could hear clearly even when the phone was not on speakerphone—it was clear that Daniel Brown was very interested in the clues we were going to provide, and I thought she would probably go straight to the mental hospital to meet us.

Less than five minutes after Qiao Wei hung up, a blonde girl with a ponytail rushed in front of us like a gust of wind and shouted, "Who is John?!! ”
