Chapter 487: Counting Death
I talked to Old Man Gu for a while, and then chatted with Gu Yue for a while.
She curiously asked about our experience at Monkey Mountain. I couldn't help but start to exaggerate, saying that this experience was extremely dangerous. Hearing Gu Yue's exclamation, her concern was involuntarily revealed.
The two of us chatted for half the night and then said goodbye. Gu Yue didn't say a word of thanks throughout the whole process. She is a smart person, and knowing that saying thank you at this time not only seems verbose, but also raw.
When we returned to Huaicheng, we finally breathed a sigh of relief. He began to waste his time again.
Now I have a knack for enjoying my life as much as possible in a limited number of peaceful days. But I know that this peace can be broken at any moment, because no one knows when the old ancestor will come back to me.
At noon that day, I was sitting in the doorway basking in the sun. Suddenly, a police car stopped. Officer Shi walked down.
He looked at me with a smile: "Brother Zhao." Come with me. ”
The flesh on my face twitched, and I asked, "Officer Shi, I haven't done anything lately, have I?" ”
Officer Shi smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's still a while ago, those cases of bizarre deaths." ”
I grinned and said, "How long has it been, and why do you still remember me?" ”
Officer Shi smiled: "I originally wanted to skip you, but the procedure still needs to be followed." Don't worry, I'll just go back and ask two questions. Just make a transcript. ”
I nodded, stood up and was about to get into the car. At this time, Officer Shi asked again, "What about Brother Xue and Mr. Lu?" ”
I looked at him suspiciously: "Do you still need to call them?" ”
Officer Shi said, "Of course you have to call it, let them testify to you." ”
I agreed, and then dialed Xue Qian's phone. The two of them were bored, wandering around the city. When I heard the call, I rushed over. The three of us were taken to the police station by Officer Shi.
Like he said, just asked us a few words and let us go.
I said helplessly: "Officer Shi, are you too rigid in handling this case?" These two sentences are just asking, isn't it? You have to get me here. ”
Officer Shi smiled: "The rules are like this, we can't just foul the law." "Then he sent us out.
A few days later, the three of us were eating at the tofu brain stand. Suddenly, the boss sat down. He looked at us nervously.
I was taken aback by his expression and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
The boss whispered: "A few masters, you say, can such a thing as a ghost come out in broad daylight?" ”
I said, "Theoretically, no. However, if this ghost is extremely resentful, or has very strong skills, it is possible to change a small area of yin and yang and appear during the day. ”
The boss secretly complained, sighed and said, "How good is this." ”
He looked at the three of us and asked in a low voice, "If you meet this kind of ghost, can you three deal with it?" ”
I looked at Mr. Lu, who hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not completely sure. Then he asked his boss, "Have you met such a ghost?" ”
The boss secretly tilted his head, pointed to an old man in a straight suit on the table next to him, and said, "Look at this ghost, can you deal with it?" ”
The boss made the atmosphere so horrible that my heart pounded, and then I turned my head. I saw that the old man was full of sorrow, and he was eating tofu brain spoonful by spoonful, eating very slowly. I thought to myself, this guy looks at his face, and he probably has a lot of grudges. However, although his face was full of sadness, he didn't have much anger, how could he dare to come out in broad daylight?
I was thinking of this, when I suddenly looked down and saw a clear shadow under the old man's body. This guy is a living man.
I couldn't help but smile at the boss: "You are mistaken, this kid is not dead, he is a big living person." ”
Mr. Lu also said, "Where do you see that he is a ghost?" ”
The boss said anxiously: "I have evidence." Then he pulled out a crumpled newspaper from his pocket. He handed it to me and said, "Look, it's just me who uses it to wrap fritters." ”
The newspaper was full of oil, and I looked at it, it was our city's daily newspaper.
I asked curiously, "What's wrong with this newspaper?" Does it have anything to do with the old man who eats tofu brain over there? ”
The boss pointed to the corner of the newspaper and said, "Look here, this place." ”
I saw it was an obituary. There is a photo on it. The old man in the photo is wearing a suit and has a calm face. It seemed to be staring at me through the newspaper.
I looked at the person in the photo, and then at the person eating tofu brain next to me, and it was exactly the same.
I frowned and said, "Maybe it's a coincidence, the two of them look more alike." ”
The boss smiled bitterly and said, "Really? He asked me, "Do you know what his name is?" ”
I pointed to the name under the obituary and said, "Isn't that written here?" Zhang Yuanchao. ”
The boss lowered his head, almost buried his face in his chest, and he called out sullenly: "Zhang Yuanchao? ”
Immediately afterwards, the old man raised his head and looked around: "Who is looking for me?" Who's looking for me? The old man looked at it for a while, but found no one, so he lowered his head and continued to eat the bowl of tofu brain.
The boss smiled bitterly and said, "You saw it now, right?" The person on the obituary is him. ”
I said, "Is someone kidding him?" Deliberately put his name on it. ”
The boss said, "I thought so at first, but he's also read the paper. I saw him staring at the obituary and sighing for a moment, apparently seeing. ”
I stood up and said, "This matter is a bit too evil, I'll help you ask." ”
I had just stood up and was about to walk up to the old man. As if he felt it, he stood up suddenly, threw ten dollars on the table, and said, "Boss, don't look for it." Then he strode away.
I looked at him dumbfounded, thinking: Is this eating tofu brain, or is it a good man in Liangshan drinking?
The old man had already walked away, and the owner of the tofu stall grabbed it and picked up the money that was still on the table. He looked at it twice, rubbing his eyes vigorously.
I saw him acting funny and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
The boss handed me the money and said, "Brother Zhao, you have good eyes, you can help me see, is this money real?" ”
I said, "It's true." ”
The boss asked again: "Not paper money?" ”
I laughed and said, "How can it be paper money?" You can rest assured. The person just now should be a living person, and he can't be wrong, as for why there is an obituary of him in the newspaper, I don't know. Maybe someone has a grudge against him, so I guess I'm angry with him like this. ”
At this time, Mr. Lu patted me on the shoulder and said, "This obituary is a bit problematic. ”
I said, "Of course there's a problem, it's okay to publish an obituary before you die." ”
Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "The date of death on it is not today, it is tomorrow. ”
I wondered, "When is tomorrow?" ”
Mr. Lu said: "Tomorrow at 1:45 a.m. ”
I grinned: "There are zeros and rounds? "Baidu sister-in-law|Empty house
Mr. Lu nodded.
I said, "That's weird." You say the newspaper was printed on the wrong day, but the man is not dead. You say this is true, but don't you know the future? ”
Mr. Lu said: "Otherwise, let's go and inquire where this person lives, and ask him what is going on." I've always felt that this was a little unusual. ”
The boss next to him hurriedly helped and said, "Three masters, you are the most famous people in our Huaicheng." If you don't act righteously, no one will be able to keep the neighborhood safe. ”
Mr. Lu handed the newspaper to the boss and said, "Can you take the photo and help us find this person?" ”
The boss nodded and said, "Since he eats tofu brain here with me, he should live in this area." I'll ask a few people. I'll call you when I have news. ”
We nodded and left. It's not a big deal for us. After all, I've seen so many ghosts, and I've dealt with people in the underworld, so I don't think it's dangerous, but I'm just curious about this old man
