Chapter 41: Clues
γBroadcastγPay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
A few days before the incident, Xie Shuang had already anticipated his final result.
It was a doomed and unchangeable outcome that had been predestined many years ago.
The seeds that were planted many years ago finally bear fruit and return to the original people.
This time, Xie Shuang saw that the dream about death was not as clear as before, just many messy fragments.
The only clear picture is of himself falling on the floor of his home, being dragged by two people and stuffed into a small, dark space.
After many days tormented by scattered and chaotic dreams, she finally met the man who had finally taken her life.
It was an emaciated young man. He seemed to be in poor health, and was helped to her room, and then sat down in front of her with difficulty.
It was the height of summer, and even if the air conditioner in the house was "whining", the cold air created still could not dispel the stuffy atmosphere in the house. The noisy cicadas seem to be screaming everywhere, making people more and more irritable.
Xie Shuang was only wearing a thin piece of clothing, and she still felt a sense of anger in her heart, and she felt unpleasant to see anything, and she had to work hard to make herself look calm when facing customers.
But the young man in front of him didn't seem to feel hot at all, dressed in black clothes and black, and wrapped himself tightly up and down. He wears gloves on his hands and a mask and sunglasses on his face. It looks like it wants to cover all its skin and keep it from coming into contact with the outside air.
"Master......" said the woman who helped the young man into the house with a crying voice, "can you help my brother, he can't see with his eyes." β
Xie Shuang sat in the smoky room, raised her eyes slightly, and glanced at the young man.
The man refused to take off his mask and sunglasses when he entered the house. He even raised his hand to cover his nose, dodging the incense smoke wafting everywhere in disgust.
"What's wrong with him?" Xie Shuang asked slowly.
"He was in a car accident some time ago, was in a coma for a few months, and when he woke up again, he couldn't see anything." The gorgeous-looking woman said as she took out a wad of paper from her bag and put it on the table in front of Xie Shuang, "This is the examination report of the hospital, master, take a look." The doctor said that there was no problem. Both the brain and the eyes are normal, but he just can't see, so we have to look elsewhere for the reason. β
The woman clasped her hands together as she spoke, bowed deeply to Xie Shuang, and the expression on her face was very sincere.
"I came here after being introduced by others. They all said Master, you have a special spirit that can see ...... Those things. The woman played with her waist, never looked up, and said respectfully, "Master, can you help me see if there is something following my brother." That's why he can't see it. β
Even though the woman kept talking about her brother's illness. But her "younger brother", a young man who wrapped himself like a dumpling, sat there motionless, not knowing what he was thinking, and the expression on his face was even a little numb, and he did not react to his "sister's" words at all.
Xie Shuang took the stack of papers, flipped through them casually, and pretended to understand the technical terms on it. Nodding his head from time to time, he asked the woman, "Why do you think he's entangled in something?" Is there any basis for this? Or is it something that happened before? I guess I have a point in my heart when I hear you say this. β
The woman glanced at her "younger brother" secretly, then hesitantly glanced at Xie Shuang, and finally took small steps to get closer to her.
"Master." The woman leaned into Xie Shuang's ear and whispered, "Yes, but you must not let my brother hear this." β
Xie Shuang nodded noncommittally and motioned for the woman to continue.
"When my brother was in a car accident. There was also his wife in the car. At that time, his wife was still pregnant and was about to give birth. The woman said as she looked cautiously at the man sitting next to her, as if she was afraid that he would hear something, "Later, my brother was saved, but my brother's daughter-in-law was not saved." At that time, my brother's eyes were scratched by glass and he had to change his eyes. We couldn't find a suitable ...... at the time That's what. Only...... Changed my brother's daughter-in-law's eyes to my brother. The surgery was successful, but my brother's eyes were ...... Hey, master, let's see if there is any way to tell my brother and daughter-in-law, we will give her whatever she wants, and beg her to stop pestering my brother, okay? β
The woman's voice grew lower and lower, and at last she was a little crying. After she said this, she reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes, clasped her hands together again, and bowed deeply to Xie Shuang.
"I've heard others say that the pregnant woman is the most fierce, if it's really her who is entangled with my brother, master, you must save him!"
Immediately after, the woman took out a thick wad of red banknotes from her bag and placed it on the small table in front of Xie Shuang.
"It's a deposit." The woman pushed the money forward, "Master, if you can help us solve the matter, we still have a lot of thanks in our family." β
Xie Shuang raised her eyes and glanced at the stack of money, and sighed silently.
She has never seen such a person who begs her with money to solve this kind of "evil ghost that haunts me for no reason". In her previous experience, the demon must not have been as simple as "haunting me for some reason" in the end.
The more refreshed the money and the more money is given, the more the person has done the wrong thing.
"Some people!" Xie Shuang looked at the woman's eyes meaningfully, and said in a strange tone in a long voice: "Why do you think you can deceive the people over there, even if you can't deceive yourself?" β
The sincere smile on the woman's face suddenly froze.
"Master, what do you mean by that?" She asked with a blank face: "What can't you deceive, we don't dare to lie to you!" β
If you really want to solve this problem, it's actually quite simple.
Just change your eyes back.
But you must not be willing to do it.
Xie Shuang didn't say this after all, she just shook her head and said to the woman: "It's not interesting, just say it." β
He stood up and walked over to the man.
"Can you take your sunglasses off?" She asked softly to the man, "I need to look into your eyes." β
The man looked up sluggishly. Trailer from behind the lenses of the black sunglasses for a while.
"I'm afraid you'll be scared." His voice came from under the mask, and it sounded vague and distorted.
Xie Shuang chuckled lightly and raised his hand to take off the sunglasses on his face.
The young man tilted his head slightly, "looking" at Xie Shuang's eyes.
His eyes weren't pretty, but they weren't ugly either. There was a sparkle in his eyes, and he didn't look like a blind man at all.
Xie Shuang looked at it carefully for a while, couldn't help but gasp, and subconsciously wanted to take two steps back. But she didn't know why she couldn't exert her strength under her feet, she just took a slight step back and collapsed to the ground.
"Long time no see." He whispered, "I'm coming to pick you up." β
A small dagger was inserted into Xie Shuang's lower abdomen, and the blade had completely sunk into her abdomen, only a piece of the hilt was exposed. Bright red blood quickly soaked her clothes, and the pale fabric blossomed into a red flower.
Only then did she realize that she felt a little pain.
Xie Shuang stared straight into the man's eyes. Watch him slowly stand up and look at himself from zero to zero.
The man's dark eyes reflected Xie Shuang's face, and a vague blue shadow behind her.
Xie Shuang only felt that the strength in her body was rapidly flowing from the wound on her lower abdomen, and her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
She struggled to turn around and glance at the ghost behind her.
The blue shadow saw her movements, and quickly approached her.
A pair of cold little hands slowly caressed her neck, and the sound in her ears was vaguely childlike. Childish and shrill laughter.
The laughter was filled with the thrill of revenge.
The scene in front of me darkened little by little, before it was completely plunged into darkness. She heard the last words she heard while she was alive. "Don't look at that woman, hurry up and help me find something."
A female voice said.
Shen Luotian took a deep breath and woke up from his dream.
He was still sitting in the Taishi chair in the center of his living room, with a transparent and reflective glass window in front of him. The golden sunlight fell from the windows to the floor, and with some of the thin-skinned warmth peculiar to the evening, more than half of the distant sun sank below the mountain.
Is it already this time?
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears that appeared from the corners of his eyes. Stretching his waist, he turned around casually, and said to Xia Beifeng, who was sitting on the floor behind him playing flying chess with two female ghosts: "Brother...... I am hungry. β
"Hmm...... Well? After Xia Beifeng threw the dice, he suddenly lifted it up and looked at Shen Luotian who was sitting on the chair, "You're awake!" β
Shen Luotian nodded. Leaning back on the hard chair, looking up at the ceiling, he repeated the words he had just said, "I'm hungry!" β
"I'm hungry too." Xia Beifeng looked at him sincerely, "Order takeout, what do you want to eat?" β
"Just look at it." Shen Luotian said perfunctorily, and then closed his eyes again.
His clothes were already soaked with sweat, and now they were clinging to his body, and he was very uncomfortable.
Although reason told him that it was the right choice to take a shower now, he didn't want to move at all.
That dream...... Or rather, the memories of the owner of the pile of hair were so real that he almost forgot who he was.
The shrill laughter of the boy in the dream, the cold touch of the blade as it breaks through the skin and sinks into the body, the pain of sharp metal churning in the soft abdominal cavity...... It doesn't seem to be far away.
He raised his hand and touched his lower abdomen, only damp clothes under the palm, no daggers from memory, and blood gushing out from memory.
Only the faint sense of pain still lingers there.
Wake up.
He said to himself in his heart.
Your name is Shen Luotian, not Xie Shuang. Your family loves you very much, no one wants to abandon you, and there is no evil spirit who has followed you for half your life.
What you've just seen is someone else's story, and it has nothing to do with you, so don't be influenced by her.
She's just trying for you to help her find the killer.
"Oh my God, what soup do you want to drink?" Xia Beifeng's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which startled him.
He reopened his eyes and looked down at the phone he had handed in front of him.
A bunch of colorful food photos on the screen.
"Hmm......" Shen Luotian touched his chin, stared at the phone screen for a while, and finally completely removed himself from Xie Shuang's memory, and seriously thought about dinner.
"Ask for this corn." He pointed to a picture and said, "Be sweet." β
"Okay." Xia Beifeng took back his phone and swiped the screen to place an order, while asking seemingly unintentionally: "Do you want to take a shower first, your hair is stuck on your neck, isn't it uncomfortable?" β
"It's uncomfortable." Shen Luotian honestly admitted the incident, and stood up with the armrest of the chair, "I'll go upstairs to take a shower and change clothes, you remember to move the chair back to the study." β
"Oh, okay." Xia Beifeng responded casually, and only reacted after seeing the prompt on the mobile phone for successful payment, looked up at Shen Luotian, who was about to disappear at the corner of the stairs, and shouted loudly: "Whoever moved here will move back!" I'm not healed yet, are you embarrassed to let me clean up the mess for you! β
Shen Luotian had already turned the corner of the stairs and disappeared from his sight.
"Thank you!" He shouted loudly downstairs, closed the door to his room, and began to undress.
"Stupid lord!" Ning Lu was lying on the coffee table, boredly fiddling with the dice on the flying chess, watching Xia Beifeng drag the chair upstairs with difficulty, and asked Xiaoxi beside him: "Do you say that he will remember it in the end, but in fact, he asked us for help." β
Xiao Xi shook his head slowly, lowered his head and studied the map of the flying chess, and said nothing.
"Alas!" Ning Lu held his forehead and shook his head hatefully.
The head of the Shen family, the father of Xia Beifeng and Shen Luotian, Professor Shen Yundu, is busy at school today and doesn't know what work he can't go home.
So dinner passed in the midst of the brothers complaining to each other noisily.
"Oh, yes." After the two of them had dinner and sat on the sofa watching the news broadcast, Shen Luotian suddenly remembered something, "I'll write you an address, you can go and see it tomorrow." β
As he spoke, he pulled a post-it note from the side, recalled the name of the neighborhood and the house number he saw in his dream, lowered his head and wrote quickly on the post-it note.
Xia Beifeng glanced down at his calves.
"Why don't you go?" He asked angrily, "Is it so cool to toss a patient?" β
"I can't find my way." Shen Luotian replied loudly and confidently. He put the post-it note on Xia Beifeng's placket, and slapped it twice, and after making sure that it would not fall off, he said seriously: "If you can't go yourself, just ask someone you know, after all, Instructor Xia, although you have been retired from the army for so many years, Yu Wei is still there, and it's no problem to find someone to help you go and see something, right?" β
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Xia Beifeng, and put on an expression of "I believe you must be fine".
Xia Beifeng tore off the note from his clothes and glanced down.
"It's a long way off!" He frowned and looked at Shen Luotian, "What's in there." β
"I don't know what it is now, so you can go and see it."
Probably a corpse.
Shen Luotian silently added in his heart, and looked up at Xiao Xi, who was sitting on the side in a daze.
