Chapter Fifty-Six: Xishan Village
When Xiao Wang was handling the case, he didn't expect a ghost lady to scare him so much that he couldn't stand up.
Wushuang looked at Xiao Wang, then at me, and patted me on the shoulder with a smile on his face: "It's not easy, I finally found someone who is more timid than you." "
I was choked by this sentence and couldn't help but stare at it: "How are you talking?" "
Wushuang shook the peachwood sword in his hand: "What?" Want to fight? "
I waved my hand helplessly: "I'm too lazy to take care of you." "
I said to the frightened little king, "Don't be afraid, that ghost has already run away." "
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wang became even more anxious when he heard this: "Ran away? So what to do? It has suffered such a big loss here, is it still willing to come? What if it comes and harms people again? "
I thought for a moment and said, "The innkeeper seems to know this female ghost, it's time to interrogate her, hey?" What about the hostess? With such a big movement, why can't she just come and take a look? "
Xiao Wang said, "Didn't you say don't let me alarm her? I knocked her unconscious. "
Wushuang and I couldn't help but sigh: "If you put the courage to deal with people on dealing with ghosts, will you be scared and weak?" "
When the three of us found the hostess, she was still lying limply on the chair.
I was about to wake up the proprietress when Wushuang stretched out his hand to stop me: "Wait a minute, you say, since the proprietress knows the ghost lady, does she know that the ghost lady is a ghost?" "
I glanced at Wushuang hesitantly: "Does it matter?" "
Wushuang's expression was a little serious: "If she knows that the ghost lady is a ghost, I am worried that she may have a certain Taoism, let's make her anxious, in case the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, can we beat it?" "
I nodded: "You have a point. I went to find a rope to tie her up. "
Since yesterday's murder here, the hotel's business has plummeted. In fact, all the tenants here have run out, and the fat man at the top of the corridor has just gotten out of the whole house, and he is not familiar with the place, so he just came to stay here.
The scene of the ghost lady just now has really frightened the fat man, he has packed his luggage, and plans to come to the front desk to check out, but at a glance I saw that the three of us were kidnapping the boss lady. I didn't even dare to get closer, and slipped away tremblingly against the wall.
That's fine, there are only three of us left in the house. As soon as the door is closed, do whatever you want.
Wushuang put the mahogany sword around the boss's neck, and then woke her up.
The proprietress opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw the three of us, she pulled her neck and began to shout: "Help, kidnapping"
The peerless peachwood sword grinded back and forth on her neck: "If you want to make an opening here, you can continue to shout." "
Now the proprietress shut up.
I slowly walked up to her and asked her, "What does that ghost have to do with you today?" "
The proprietress looked dazed: "What the hell?" "
I sneered: "What are you pretending to be stupid? Aren't you pimping? "
The proprietress shouted wrongly: "I'm not a pimp, I open a hotel for the convenience of tourists, and I do serious business." "
I pointed at Xiao Wang: "Don't talk about it, the police have seen it." "
The proprietress suddenly panicked, rolled her eyes twice, and after a while, she lowered her head and said, "Her name is Xiaoyu." It's my fellow countryman, but I didn't force her, she volunteered, and she took the initiative to ask for me, and I also provided her with a venue for the sake of my fellow countryman's face, so I charged forty percent of the venue fee."
Looking at the meaning of the proprietress, it seems that I don't know that the ghost lady is a ghost. So I asked her, "You don't think there's anything wrong?" How did she get you? "
The proprietress thought for a while: "I am from Xishan Village, and I came to Xi'an when I was young, and I opened this store and opened a hotel here." A few days ago, Xiaoyu suddenly came to my store. She said that someone in her family was sick and wanted to earn some money in the city. But she has neither education nor skills, and she can't earn money after working hard for a few days. But the family was in a hurry, so she totaled the total, and planned to pick up the guests at my place. I hesitated for a moment, but I thought that I could not only collect venue fees, but also earn repeat customers, so I agreed. "
Speaking of this, the proprietress glanced at Xiao Wang: "Am I being frank and lenient?" Can you sentence me a few years less? "
Xiao Wang nodded: "You go on." "
The proprietress agreed and said, "I didn't expect it, this little girl doesn't know how to do it, and she died the first time she picked up customers." I sent her back to my hometown and told her to take refuge from the limelight. Comrade policeman, I am not the only one who kills people. "
Xiao Wang said impatiently: "Let's explain your situation clearly first." "
The proprietress agreed, and then said, "You probably know what happened later. Xiaoyu hid for a day, and then came back in the evening. I wanted to get her out, but I felt pitiful for her, after all, there were patients at home, so I let her go to the top one. Why am I the only one tied up here? Did Xiaoyu run away? "
I looked at Wushuang and Xiao Wang: "It seems that she still doesn't know what to do." "
The proprietress was full of nervousness: "What don't you know?" "
Xiao Wang took out his mobile phone: "Call your hometown and ask about Xiaoyu's situation." "
The proprietress struggled to take it, with a flattering smile on her face: "I understand, I understand, exposing the accomplice can reduce the sentence, right?" I'll ask you, and we'll catch Xiaoyu if she escapes back. "
The proprietress dialed a number, and spoke a few words to the other party in a loud voice, speaking in dialects, I don't understand well, but I can roughly guess that it is to say hello to the other party.
After two minutes of talking, the proprietress suddenly opened her eyes and exclaimed, "What? "
I glanced at Wushuang: "I'm down to business." "
A few seconds later, the proprietress roared twice, suddenly her face turned pale, and her phone fell to the ground with a clatter. If it weren't for the rope, she would have fallen to the ground.
Although I already knew the result, I still asked, "What's wrong?" "
The proprietress looked at me with a dead face: "They said that Xiaoyu has been dead for more than a month. "
Wushuang and I nodded: "What you have seen in the past two days is a ghost." "
When the proprietress heard this, she fainted in fright.
Wushuang shook his head: "The ghost who has been dead for a month, knowing that the Dao sucks people's souls, it's a bit strange." I guess it's not that simple. "
I looked at Xiao Wang: "Do we have to go to the boss's hometown to have a look?" "
Xiao Wang nodded.
We woke up the proprietress and asked her, "How long does it take to get from Xi'an to your hometown?" "
The proprietress thought for a while: "It's only two hours by car." "
Xiao Wang waved his hand tiredly: "Take us there." "
The proprietress nervously asked, "Now?" This black light blinds. "
I untied the hostess's rope: "If you don't want your hotel to be haunted every day in the future, take us there quickly." "
As soon as she heard the ghost, the proprietress was obviously nervous, nodded again and again, and promised to lead the way.
We flagged down a taxi. Speeding through the night.
The village driver that the proprietress said had not heard of it, so she was in command all the way. Taxi gradually left the city, more and more remote, and later, even on the winding mountain road.
At this time, the driver was a little uncalm, one would say that the oil was not enough, and the other would say that the child at home should be breastfeeding, and always tried his best to shirk it, meaning that we would get off the car and not pull this job.
We have already guessed the driver's mind. Xiao Wang stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Master, what are you afraid of?" I'm a police officer. "
It's good that Xiao Wang didn't say this, but when he said this, the driver was even more scared, and said with a pale face: "Comrade police, why don't you drive a police car when you handle a case." There was distrust in his tone, and I guess he was thinking that this group of people even dared to pretend to be policemen, and they might have committed a big deal.
The road was bumpy, and by the moonlight, I saw a dark shadow in the distance, like a village, and the proprietress finally said, "It's here." "
The driver parked the taxi at the entrance of the village, Xiao Wang took out the money to pay the bill, and then said to the driver: "Master, you wait for us here for a while, don't leave, and take your car when we leave." "
The driver only promised and agreed.
However, as soon as we got out of the car and had not taken two steps, the driver suddenly turned around and increased the accelerator and fled.
Xiao Wang smiled bitterly: "This kid ran away, how can we go back to Xi'an?" "
The proprietress was full of flattery: "There is a donkey cart in the village, let's take the cart when we go." "
At the urging of me and Wushuang, the proprietress led us to the village.
It was late at night, and the village was dark and quiet. Occasionally, a dog awakened by the sound of our footsteps barks dissatisfiedly. Other than that, there is no other sound.
The proprietress walked up to a house and reached out and patted the courtyard door.
Then I saw the light in the house come on, and judging by the light, it must be an electric light. I breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, the village was at least electric, a little more modern than I had thought.
Someone inside asked in a rough voice.
Then the proprietress agreed.
Immediately after, the courtyard door opened. A man came out, his face was very dark, his beard was unkempt, and he couldn't see his exact age.
The two men said a few words excitedly, and then let us in.
After we walked into the house, the proprietress pointed to the man and said, "This is my younger brother, named Li Hong." "
We nodded at Li Hong.
Li Hong looked at the three of us suspiciously, his eyes turned on Xiao Wang, and then asked the proprietress with a very bad face, they heard a lot of dialects, I could basically identify it, he complained that the proprietress had committed something outside, summoned the police, and affected relatives.
The proprietress was also not angry: "I came back this time to find Xiaoyu." "
Li Hong was a little impatient: "Didn't I tell you?" Xiaoyu died last month. "
The proprietress yelled at him, "I saw her a few hours ago. What do you mean by that? "
