Chapter 74: Illustration in the book
"Brought it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Captain Zhang took out a plastic evidence bag from his pocket, and the blood-stained iron nail was placed inside.
Edamame breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Captain Zhang and said, "You must keep it, this matter is not over yet, and you can still use it later." ā
Dongdong's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he asked, "What do you mean?" You're saying that the evil spirit will come out and hurt people. ā
Edamame sighed and said, "This iron nail is the body of the evil spirit, and if you don't destroy this iron nail, the evil spirit will not be completely destroyed......"
"You mean...... This iron nail is the evil spirit. Captain Zhang finally reacted when he heard this, and his hands trembled and he was about to throw the evidence bag out.
"Hey! Don't throw it away! Edamame hurriedly shouted: "That evil spirit was greatly injured by me, it can't appear in a short time, it's not dangerous, I can't move now, when I get better, put it in the book, I don't have to worry about it anymore......"
Speaking of this, Edamame suddenly remembered what Dongdong said on the top of the mountain, and hurriedly said: "Fatty! My book, show me where you said there was a villain! ā
Because when he entered the hospital, Edamame had to have a full body examination, and his whole body was stripped clean, so he could only ask Dongdong to temporarily help him keep the things on his body.
Dongdong took out "Bai Ze Spirit Record" from his arms, opened the old cover, and brought it to Edamame.
"Whoa! That's it on the first page. ā
Edamame squinted and looked, sure enough! In the past, there were only some ink marks like smudges on the pages of the previous "Bai Ze Spirits", and nothing could be seen.
But now, on the first yellowed page, there were several drawings, small, each the size of a fingernail, but they looked lifelike.
Edamame can see at a glance that these pictures are actually the demons and ghosts that he used to put into the book!
The dog-faced figure in the upper left corner is the mountain mandarin who kills people in the urban village.
To the right of the mountain is a very small cyan demon, grinning with teeth, and a head that looks like a bamboo shoot, which is the fairy in the ear.
There are two yellow skins in the back, one with a strand of white hair on its head, and the other with white hair and skin and bones, these are the two yellow skins in the manor.
Then there are the hungry ghosts who were collected in the stone bridge the day before yesterday and the three female ghosts who were killed by the evil spirits and whose grievances have not disappeared.
Except for Lin Yue'er, who has already gone to the Yin Division to write off her accounts, the demons and ghosts she encountered after entering the city are all on it!
What does this mean? Edamame was a little confused, to say that these demons had been collecting themselves for a long time, how could they not have found their drawings in the book before.
Could it be...... A gleam flashed in Edamame's eyes, and he said to Dongdong, "Fatty, you can help me make a call." ā
Dongdong dialed according to the number that Edamame said, the phone went through, and a middle-aged woman's voice sounded on the other end: "A dragon mahjong parlor, who are you looking for?" ā
"What? Mahjong parlor? Dongdong was stunned, but Edamame said: "Call me, I'll come." ā
"Oh......"
Edamame couldn't move, so Dongdong had to put the phone to Edamame's ear.
"Hey! Aunt Liu, I'm a bean, is my grandfather with you? ā
"What? Not there? ā
"Oh, well, if you see him and ask him to call me back, I have something important to look for him."
"Well, that's the number...... Hey, don't worry, I can't forget the mask I promised you. ā
Seeing Dongdong hang up the phone, Maodou sighed, people in Baijia Village don't like electronic products, and there is only one landline phone in the whole village.
I can't find my grandfather, and I can't figure it out for a while, but "Bai Ze Spirits and Monsters" can show pictures, and it shouldn't be a bad thing to think about it, and Edamame simply doesn't think about it anymore, just wait for grandpa to call back and ask clearly.
Dongdong put the phone back in his pocket, looked at the frowning edamame, and then looked at Captain Zhang, and finally couldn't help asking, "What, who of you is free now, can you explain this whole thing to me?" ā
"Explain what?" Captain Zhang glanced at him and asked strangely, "Didn't you call me first?" I'm still waiting for you to explain to me what the hell is going on! ā
Dongdong was stunned for a moment, and said inexplicably: "When did I call you?" ā
"I'll tell you." Edamame glanced at the two of them, and said slowly: "I borrowed your phone this morning, saying that I wanted to ask about the renovation of Old Man Ma's hotel, but in fact, that phone call ...... I called your dad. ā
Dongdong scratched his head, recalling that this morning, Edamame had just borrowed his phone, because there was no signal in the village, and he also ran outside the col to call.
"What are you calling my dad for?"
Captain Zhang glanced at him and said, "Brother Mao asked me to help him check the identity of that Jiang Xiaoyan." ā
Dongdong became more and more puzzled, looked at Captain Zhang and asked, "Xiaoyan's identity?" Doesn't she work in my mother's company? That's right! How did you find out that Jiang Xiaoyan was in league with that evil spirit? ā
Captain Zhang shrugged his shoulders, looked at Edamame and said, "You ask him, I'm still inexplicable." ā
Edamame sighed slowly, and didn't answer directly, but asked, "The three women who died in Sister Wang's company, did you notice what they had in common when they were killed?" ā
Dongdong thought for a moment and replied, "They were all killed by that evil spirit!" ā
"Nonsense!" Edamame rolled his eyes and looked at Captain Zhang again.
Captain Zhang touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "They all died of acute myocardial infarction, there are no scars on the appearance, and there are ...... The time of the killings was all night. ā
"But didn't the one in the company find out in the afternoon?" Dongdong asked puzzled.
Captain Zhang replied: "The body was indeed found in the afternoon, but there were few people on that floor, and the last bathroom was rarely used, so it was not found until the afternoon when the cleaners were cleaning. ā
"Yes." There was a hint of approval in Maodou's eyes, worthy of being an old criminal policeman for decades, and he grasped the point at once, "The time when the three victims were killed was at night, and the time of death was around midnight, but only Jiang Xiaoyan ......"
"That's right! I remember! Dongdong suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "When we went to look for her that day, we happened to encounter an evil spirit attacking her, but the sun had not yet set at that time, and it seemed to be less than 7 o'clock. ā
"Hmm." Edamame continued: "You've also seen it on the top of the mountain, the sunlight during the day is very harmful to the evil spirits, so why did it take the risk to attack Jiang Xiaoyan during the day? ā
"To show us?" Dongdong finally got his senses, but he thought about it and asked, "But ...... How did she know we were going to pass by then? ā
"When I was in your mother's company, I forced out the evil qi that remained in the female corpse, it is estimated that the person who manipulated the evil spirit was already aware of it at that time, and knew that there was a mage eyeing them, and Jiang Xiaoyan was the last one alive among the four, so in order not to arouse suspicion, so I used such a bitter trick......"
"Wait!" Captain Zhang suddenly interrupted Edamame and asked, "What do you mean by manipulating evil spirits?" What do you mean to say...... Is the evil spirit controlled by man? Is there anyone else in this matter besides Jiang Xiaoyan? ā
"Yes......" Edamame's face remained unchanged, and he continued: "Those yellow paper figures buried behind the small temple on the top of the mountain are supposed to be the handiwork of that person. ā
