Chapter 39: Wild Ghosts
Lei Baoquan and the three of them also walked over, and when they saw the messy footprints in the living room, they were all speechless.
The knock on the door was still ringing, and Uncle Li shouted impatiently outside the door, "Did you get up?" ”
Only then did the four of them come to their senses and walked out against the wall, for fear of stepping on the footprints in the middle.
The door opened, and Uncle Li said with a disgusted face, "What are you doing?" Grinding. ”
"Uncle Li, look." Li Bai pointed to the footprints on the ground and said.
Uncle Li looked at it and said, "I knew it was like this." ”
After speaking, Uncle Li walked in and sat on the sofa, and said, "What are the characteristics of these footprints?" ”
"Features?" The four of them were stunned for a moment and looked closely.
Lei Baoquan is a police officer and is more proficient in this area, saying: "Judging by the size of the footprints, it should be a woman." ”
Everyone else looked at it and found it too.
"It's a wild ghost." Uncle Li lit a cigarette and said slowly.
"Wild ghosts? How did the wild ghosts come here? The old horse asked.
"She must have followed you the last time you went to bury the dead man and beast." Uncle Li said.
"Then why did you come to my house? Didn't you say that Xiaobai's physique was easy to recruit this thing? The old horse was puzzled.
Li Bai looked at Lao Ma and said, "Uncle Ma, you can't be like this, why do you push it on me whenever there is a ghost, this ghost also depends on people?" Maybe this woman has a crush on you. ”
Lao Ma shuddered after hearing this, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you are not married yet, and you are also in love with you." ”
Uncle Li thought for a while and said to Lao Ma: "Otherwise, this girl knows you." ”
"Know me? How could I possibly know a female ghost? The old horse said incredulously.
"Think about it, are there any people you know who have passed away, the same age as you, and are buried in the place you went to last time?" Uncle Li asked seriously.
"Deceased?" Lao Ma thought carefully for a while, and said, "The people I know are basically from our town, and the people who have passed away are all old men and old ladies, and they are all very old. ”
Uncle Li looked at the footprints on the ground, these footprints walked back and forth many times, and the last footprint was by the wall, Uncle Li looked up at the wall and said, "Have you stepped on it?" ”
"No, no, we all walked against the wall, so we were afraid of stepping on it." Jin Guo replied.
Uncle Li nodded, stood up and walked to the front of the wall, there were several photo frames hanging on the wall, and the photo frames were all photos of Lao Ma, some with his family, some with colleagues.
"Are these your friends?" Uncle Li squinted at the photo and asked.
Everyone else gathered around.
Lao Ma said: "These are all my previous photos, these two are our family photos, this is with my colleagues in the institute, and this is with my former classmates, taken at the last class reunion." ”
"Wait." Uncle Li shouted, then looked at the photo of Lao Ma and his classmates, and said, "So that's the case, I found it." ”
Hearing Uncle Li say this, the others were confused, and Li Bai asked, "What did you find?" ”
Uncle Li pointed to the photo: "Look at it yourself, what's wrong?" ”
The other four people came up, and the background of the photo was a restaurant, and the two dozen people in the photo were laughing heartily at the camera around the wine table, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Suddenly, Jin Guo found out, pointed to the face of one of them and said, "Look, this ......"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the person, who looked like a woman in a long red dress, sitting in the crowd, the only creepy thing was that her face in the photo was blurry, and she couldn't see her facial features clearly.
"It's... This is when you were developing a photo, right? Lei Baoquan said.
The old horse shook his head hesitantly: "I've seen it before, and there is no problem at all, what's going on?" ”
Uncle Li sat calmly on the side and said: "She is the one who came back with you, she may have become a lonely ghost, and she met you by chance, so she came back with you, but don't worry, she should have no malicious intentions." ”
The old horse was shocked after hearing this, and hurriedly identified it carefully, who is this person? After thinking about it for a long time, Lao Ma was still not sure, and said, "I haven't looked carefully before, and I can't remember who is sitting here." ”
"Do any of your other classmates have any pictures?" Lei Baoquan asked.
"Oh, yes, yes, everyone else has it too, I'll ask now." As the reason was exposed, Lao Ma didn't feel as uncomfortable as before, so he quickly picked up the phone and dialed a number.
The phone was answered, and the old horse said, "Hey, Dajun, are you at home now?" Nothing, right? That's right, you come to my house now, bring the photos we took at the last class reunion, hey, don't worry about why, come quickly. ”
Putting down the phone, several people began to wait anxiously, and ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door.
Lao Ma hurriedly opened the door and welcomed the people outside the door in, who were the army who had just talked to Lao Ma on the phone, who were Lao Ma's former classmates and locals.
As soon as the army entered the house, he saw so many people sitting in the house, looked at the flour and footprints all over the ground, and asked Lao Ma, "Old squad leader, what are you playing with?" ”
"Something, come, come, sit first, where's the photo?" The old horse asked anxiously.
Dajun took out the photo, sat aside, and looked at the strange appearance of these people, which was really confusing.
Lao Ma compared his photo with the photo of the army, and immediately found that the woman with a blurred face in the photo was a woman with long hair and a delicate face, although she was the same age as him, but she looked much younger than the others.
"This man's name... What's it called..."Lao Ma took the photo and pointed to the army behind him, and the army looked at it and said, "Tian Ning." ”
"Yes, yes, this person's name is Tian Ning, and he is our classmate."
Uncle Li glanced at it and asked, "Do you have any news of her?" ”
Lao Ma was stunned for a moment, and then asked the army behind him: "The army, do you know where Tian Ning is recently?" ”
Dajun thought for a moment and said: "Last time I had dinner, I seemed to hear her talk to people about the project in Yungang City, and she wanted to develop the back mountain, but there didn't seem to be any movement, and I don't know where she is now." ”
"Where did you bury it last time?" Uncle Li asked.
"Just... It's not far from the back mountain. After Li Bai finished speaking, several people looked at each other.
"You mean... She's dead now? Jin Guo asked.
Uncle Li nodded and said, "I suggest you go and look for it, maybe you will lie somewhere now, and the corpses will be rotten." ”
Several people were disgusted when they thought about that picture, and the army listened to it for a long time and said, "Old squad leader, what do you mean?" You mean Tian Ning... He's dead? ”
Lao Ma didn't know how to explain to him, and it was impossible to directly say that Tian Ning had become a ghost and came to his house, so he could only make up a reason and say: "We received a report from someone that she was missing." Do you know where she lives? Who is in the family? ”
Dajun waved his hand and said: "You said that you were the class leader when you were in school, you don't know the situation of the people in the class, she grew up with her grandmother, her parents are said to have died, and some people say that she was brought back from the orphanage, anyway, after her grandmother died a few years ago, she was alone, as if she lived in other places." ”
After hearing this, Lei Baoquan said: "That's it, let's go to the place last time to find out, and I'll call Sun Duo and ask him to check if there are any reports of missing people in several nearby cities." ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Lei Baoquan called Sun Duo and asked him to assist in the investigation, and then followed a few people to the place where the dead man and beast were buried last time, according to Uncle Li, this Tian Ning should be somewhere nearby.
The place where the dead people and beasts are buried, the soil can still be seen to be renovated, because it is on the edge of the back mountain, so in addition to the people who farm, not many people come here, at this time it is the sun at the head, there are some farmers in the distance are cleaning up the fields, Lei Baoquan and a few people walked along the path for a long time, and did not find anything abnormal.
Li Bai wiped the sweat on his head and said, "It shouldn't be in such an obvious place, there are fields all around, as far as the eye can see, if there is, it would have been discovered a long time ago." ”
On the side of the road is a ditch, with a large cement pipe in the middle, Li Bai sat on it and said, "Let's rest, it's been so hot these days, it is estimated that the corpse will rot early, and it may be eaten by wild dogs." ”
Lei Baoquan sat beside him, suddenly sniffed, and said, "It stinks, you fart again?" ”
Li Bai smiled: "You found out all this." ”
Lei Baoquan quickly stood up, stayed away from Li Bai, and waited for half a minute, Lei Baoquan couldn't help it anymore, and said, "Your fart is too powerful, it stinks here." ”
Several other people also smelled it and looked at Li Bai with disgust.
Li Bai said innocently: "Don't wronged me, I just put one, I have no smell here, how can it stink so far?" ”
"Could it be that there's a dead body sitting under your ass?" Jin Guo said.
Li Bai pursed his lips and said, "Then maybe, in this year, anything is possible." After speaking, he glanced into the cement pipe under his buttocks, and suddenly stood up with a frightened "Mom".
"What's wrong?" The old horse asked.
"Die... Corpse! Below... There are dead bodies! Li Bai shouted.
