In order not to make any extraneous branches, and in order not to have some unnecessary disputes, Hu Zongren, a guy with a personality, didn't even say to Sister Liang that we are not upright and gentlemanly, such as the two of us also have tattoos, so we are not upright gentlemen, he just forked the topic and asked Sister Liang, then when you fled that night, you once saw a bird at the door, did you hear this bird call at that time? Sister Liang said no, but after her father's situation appeared, she heard birds flapping their wings through the window at night, but it was just that night, and I don't know if it was a coincidence. I asked Sister Liang, which window is it, is it the outside?

With that, I gestured towards where I had entered. Sister Liang also happened to turn off the lamp next to my father's bed, and then made a small gesture to us, and led us outside, and closed the door by the way. When the door was closed, I noticed that there was still a wall calendar hanging behind the door of Uncle Liang's room, but the time was still 2007, and it seemed that this thing had not been touched for a long time. Sister Liang wiped a few stools a little and handed them to us to sit down, and then pointed to the small window next to the dining table and said, this is the small window, I basically sat here and dozed off that night, there was a bird outside flapping its wings, and the wings seemed to be flapping directly on the window, so I remember very clearly, but I am not sure that I then escaped from the house and saw the same bird.

I thought about it carefully, and the only birds that came out at night, except for the nightingale, were owls. And this season is not right, I have a hard time thinking about what kind of bird it is, so I asked Sister Liang, does that bird look big? Is it a round head? I'm talking about owls, but I just want to use this as an elimination, in case I guess correctly. Sister Liang shook her head and said no, the shadow looked like a pigeon, but it was a little bigger than a pigeon, and its mouth was longer.

Crow! Hu Zongren said categorically, and then said to Sister Liang, what you see is not actually a shadow, but the color of the crow itself is black, and at night you think it is just a shadow. For us metaphysical people, the crow is like a kind of spell, something we must stay away from. For people like us, we actually believe that many animals have a certain degree of spirituality. And these animals such as horses, dogs, cats, snakes, etc., crows are also one of them, if you watched a lot of TVB martial arts movies like me when you were a child, then you will definitely remember that when people die in the place where the coffin is parked, there will be a few crows standing on the beams of the house. So in many cases, the relationship between the crow and death is inextricably linked, so if this is a spiritual crow, does it mean that the family is about to die? At present, the most likely to die is this Uncle Liang.

If that's the case, then Hu Zongren and I must stop this matter, if nothing else, it's a human life.

Sister Liang then told us that she stayed in the 110 duty place until dawn that day, and she didn't dare to go home or go to work, so after calling to ask for leave, she said to Uncle Zhang, who had the best relationship with her father on weekdays, and asked Uncle Zhang to accompany her to open the door and go in to see, because she really didn't have the courage to enter the house alone. Uncle Zhang was also the first old neighbor who came to help and wanted to send Uncle Liang to the hospital. As a result, after the two entered the house, they found that Uncle Liang fell asleep quietly on the bed, as if what happened the first night was completely non-existent, the most terrible thing is that he fled in a hurry at that time, and the table lamp that was originally turned on did not have time to be turned off, and when he entered the house at this moment, he found that the table lamp was turned off well, and the first night because he fell on the bed indiscriminately, causing his father's slippers on the ground to be messed up by himself, and at this moment it was also put away in a proper manner, everything seemed so quiet, so quiet that even Uncle Zhang, They all began to wonder if Sister Liang was hallucinating.

Hu Zongren asked her, did you honestly tell this Uncle Zhang about the situation you encountered? Sister Liang said, this is not true, because after all, this kind of thing is too absurd, and I can't accept it for a while, how can I tell people casually, and it is an old neighborhood for decades, but it is not a family after all. Seeing that his father was very calm that day, he didn't dare to leave at night, but he didn't dare to enter the house, so he sat outside the house against the cold wind all night, and that night, the crow did not come, and there was no movement in the house. Anyway, every day when my father woke up, he was only twice, and he gradually became less afraid.

But Sister Liang said that she still didn't dare to sleep in this house, and after feeding her father on the afternoon of the third day, she went to pick up her daughter and go home, and it was like this every day after that. When she said this, Sister Liang frowned and said, but her father's condition has become more and more serious since that night, and now, he has more breath than he breathes, and every time he breathes, he drags on his breath for a long time, as if he is worried that he will not be able to catch the next breath. Sister Liang said frankly that if you don't come today, you will also think of inviting more people to send your father to the hospital, otherwise her daughter will still die in the bed at home by her side, and she will not even have basic medical treatment.

In fact, I think Sister Liang has done enough, and many children of this age may not be able to do it to her level. So I asked Sister Liang and said, "Well, we have a general understanding of the basic situation in your family, and your father will not have any other situation for a while, you go outside the house and wait for us first, and we will now check all the rooms in this house inside and out." Sister Liang was a little hesitant when she heard me say this, Hu Zongren and I were just strangers in the end, presumably leaving two strangers in our own home, we were a little uneasy. So I told Sister Liang, don't worry, this is already the case in your father's house, even if we really want to steal, at least find a house that can be seen and steal.

I said this, but Sister Liang was a little embarrassed. She said to me and Hu Zongren, then I will stay at the door, if you need my help, just call me for gravel. After saying that, Sister Liang turned around and walked out of the room, and after she left, I began to discuss with Hu Zongren where to start. As is the custom of both of us, we usually save the most suspicious areas for the end, because in the process, if we encounter anything, we can take it as a new clue, which is what we have both experienced over the years.

So I told Hu Zongren that this case is a bit weird, for the sake of safety, I will still complete the work of soul detection, after all, the compass is more accurate and does not take much time, and you have been following me during this period and protecting me. I rarely say anything like Hu Zongren asking him to protect me, because they sound not only weak but also almost perverted. Isn't it ridiculous that I'm already a strong and sturdy person, but I still want protection?

Hu Zongren nodded, so we both put our own bags on the dining table, I only held a compass except for a piece of rope nail in my hand, Hu Zongren followed behind me, holding his gossip bag in his left hand, the thumb and middle finger of his right hand are interlocked, it looks like an orchid finger, but it is the thunder talisman that Fu Qiang taught us at the beginning, considering that these ghosts will become stronger and stronger, so even if a talisman cannot be destroyed, it can at least let it escape for a while.

What I didn't expect was that the whole room was very responsive and evenly distributed. Except for the position of the window and the door of the back room, as well as one of the rice bowls placed on the row of small stools, the reaction was a little more violent than the surroundings. Usually when I'm out working on a case, agility becomes my only way to track ghosts, and I basically have to look for one or a few slightly stronger reactions in some subtle traces to determine the direction. But this time it was different, the whole dining room was very smart, which means that the starting point was very high, and when I came to a higher level, I didn't know where to start.

These three places, I can figure out the rice bowl, presumably this is the bowl that Uncle Liang eats on weekdays, and after he was recruited, Sister Liang used this bowl to feed him, leaving a strong agility, which proves two possibilities, one is that Uncle Liang has become a ghost, that is, he is dead at the moment, but he didn't realize it. Either there is a ghost in the part of eating, occupying his body, so it is a strange ghost upper body button. And it's easier to explain in the window, didn't Sister Liang see a crow? On the night of the incident, the crow was also seen flapping its wings and hitting the window, so the crow should also be a spiritual creature. And the door of the inner room is easier to figure out, this door is equivalent to a demarcation point, go inside, it is Uncle Liang lying on the bed, the agility of that room can be imagined, it must be very strong.

Hu Zongren saw that I had been frowning, so he asked me if it was serious. I nodded, and I said we might not be able to do it. Hu Zongren said, don't be afraid, I will protect you. I turned my head and gave him a blank look, and said, thank you, but you don't have to say it, I'm going to think it's weird. After about half an hour of delay in checking the entire dining room, I asked Hu Zongren if he was ready to go in. Hu Zongren said don't worry, let's worship the god of the stove first.

So the two of us set up a bench, took out the incense candles, and bowed before the portrait of the god of the hearth.
