Chapter 3 The Woman in Red in the Treasury
When Yi Fan came back, the patrol room was empty, and everyone probably went out to handle the case, or was idle in a tavern.
Yi Fan took the recorded book and pondered a question.
"Are there any ghosts in this world?"
I'm also a traverser, and I still have this bit of scientific common sense.
However, this world is not an ancient society, and it should be a completely new time and space from the perspective of social composition and development.
But if there really were ghosts, similar incidents would have happened a long time ago.
However, during the month he worked in the patrol room, his main job was to organize the files.
He has read one or two large and small files, and there are no similar incidents on those files, so what is the reason for the haunting of this warehouse is still to be discussed.
If you want to figure it out, you still have to do an on-site investigation to find out.
...
Noon.
Liu Zhutou and the other two arresters quickly came back to handle the case.
It's June, and the sun is hot.
The clothes of the three of them were all soaked with sweat, and it was obvious that they were not idle today.
Seeing Liu Zhutou coming back, Yi Fan immediately handed over the book to him.
"Headcatcher, take a look. ”
Liu Zhutou took the book, sat on the bench, poured himself a cup of herbal tea, and flipped through it while drinking tea.
From time to time, he burst out laughing during the flip-through.
"Headcatcher, what are you laughing at?" asked the catcher next to him curiously.
Liu Zhutou slapped the book on the table and laughed: "You can see for yourself." ”
The two catchers quickly came over and looked at it with relish.
They laughed as well.
"Haha! How can there be ghosts in this world!" They don't believe in this, if there are really ghosts, if there are really evil retributions, what do you want them to do quickly?
Liu Zhutou asked: "Yi Fan, don't you think that this Zhang Yuan is making up stories outside?"
Yi Fan shook his head: "I don't know what happened, but I don't want to disobey Zhang Yuanwai in person." ”
Liu Zhutou thought for a while, nodded and said: "What you said is also right, after all, people are rich and powerful, and we really don't dare to offend." ”
"Headcatcher, what should we do about this matter?"
"Why don't you go and check it out tonight. ”
"Aren't you going to say hello to the county lord?"
"What do you want to say hello to, the county lord has had a lot of things going on lately, and he can't be busy.
I went to him again, and I had to comment on me. ”
"That's okay!" Yi Fan had no choice but to come down.
Seriously, he's actually quite interested in it.
Even if there is really a female ghost, with her full-level golden light spell, she can also have some explanation.
...
Time passed quickly, and it was getting dark.
At dusk, Yi Fan came to Zhang's Mansion again.
Zhang Yuanwai welcomed it very much.
"Outside, can you take it to the warehouse? ”
Yi Fan directly explained the intention.
After hearing this, Zhang Yuan said worriedly: "Little brother, have you thought about it clearly?"
"Don't worry about it. ”
"Little brother, good guts. If you can solve this matter, I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver. ”
Yi Fan smiled faintly: "Then thank you first." ”
Then, Zhang Yuanwai gave Yi Fan a bunch of keys and ordered someone to prepare the horse.
"Little brother, if there is really a female ghost, you must not stay, you must put your life first!"
Before leaving, Zhang Yuanwai asked.
Yi Fan nodded: "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to return safely." ”
After speaking, Yi Fan got on his horse and rushed towards the warehouse.
...
Zhang Yuanwai's warehouse was built on the outskirts of the county, which is a little away.
By the time Yi Fan arrived, it was already completely dark, and the black lights were blinding, making people suspicious.
Although it is a suburb, there are also a few families, but it seems that they have been idle for a long time, and the breath of depression is blowing in the face.
The warehouse was in front of me, the iron door was closed, and dozens of pounds of iron locks were put on, for fear that the contents would come out.
Like before, this warehouse must be bright day and night, Zhang Yuanwai's business is very large, and his warehouse has porters in and out every day.
But now, it's dark inside, and it's quiet.
Yi Fan tied the horse to a tree on the edge of the storehouse, then lit the fire, took out the key, and opened the big lock on the iron door.
Pushing open the door, Yi Fan first lit all the lamps in the warehouse, and then waited for the arrival of midnight.
Seriously, this large treasury is empty, but every slightest sound will be infinitely amplified by the echo, and gradually it will become miserable, and it is inevitable to be nervous to stay here alone.
Time flies.
During the waiting period, Yi Fan walked through the various rooms of the warehouse several times and got a thorough understanding of this place.
Whew!
Towards midnight, a cool breeze blew in the suburbs.
Yi Fan sat in the warehouse hall and felt the cool breeze, the wind was sharp like crying and howling, and his pores couldn't help but stand up.
Seriously, he was a little scared.
"Something is wrong. Yi Fan tightly held the mending knife at his waist and looked around vigilantly.
Soon, the time came to midnight.
Yi Fan was tense, and his heart was extremely nervous.
At this time, a woman's cry really came from the storeroom.
The cry was intermittent, poignant, and piercing.
At this moment, Yi Fan only felt that his throat was dry, and cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead.
He wasn't a timid man, but what he had discovered now was beyond what his common sense could handle
The cry came from upstairs.
Yi Fan swallowed his saliva, but still stubbornly walked upstairs.
Stepping on the stairs, the old planks creaked uneasily.
Every time it sounded, Yi Fan felt that his heartbeat was going to speed up a little, and he was about to jump out of his throat.
More than a dozen steps, he walked for three or four minutes.
When I came to the second floor, the cry became clearer, as if it was lingering in my ears.
Yi Fan took a deep breath.
Thinking back to the Haikou he boasted about, he must not be slapped in the face.
Squeak squeak!
The wooden floor slabs are a bit old, and the sound of friction is particularly clear in this closed and quiet environment.
Yi Fan walked carefully, seeing the surrounding situation clearly with every step, and always guarding his back, for fear that he would be ridden in the face as soon as he turned around.
But this cry was erratic, and there was no exact location, which made him feel hairy in his heart.
Woowoo woo –
Woowoo woo –
The crying continued, and it grew louder and louder.
Yi Fan came to the center of the second floor, surrounded by sealed walls, no windows, and no holes.
It can be determined that it is an enclosed space, and the sound is in it.
In that case, who is it?
There was no one around, Yi Fan tried to shout, but his dry voice couldn't make a sound.
He was a little shaken in his heart, and said secretly: "It can't really be a ghost doing something, right?"
Thinking of this, goosebumps rose all over Yi Fan's body.
Woooooo
Woooooo
The terrible cry grew louder and louder, and my scalp tingled when I heard it.
Yi Fan couldn't help it.
Pull out the sword and stand at your side.
"The person hiding in the shadows comes out quickly, what kind of hero is pretending to be a ghost?"
Yi Fan scolded, and the crying stopped instantly.
He was about to catch his breath.
Then he smiled dryly: "I'll just say, where are there ghosts in this world, it's clear that someone deliberately pretended to be..."
As soon as the words fell, Yi Fan smelled a smell of rouge.
"Little catcher, you're quite bold. ”
A woman in red suddenly appeared behind Yi Fan.
Hearing the voice, Yi Fan immediately turned around and stared at the woman in red.
This woman in red has a graceful figure, young and beautiful.
She has long black hair that sways to the floor, and she is very elegant.
Yi Fan froze and thought secretly: "I'm afraid this crying is caused by this woman." ”
So, Yi Fan asked, "Dare to ask the girl, are you the one who is crying here?"
The woman in red hid her face and smiled, bowed slightly, and said lightly: "It's the concubine." ”
"Sure enough, it's her!".
Then he went on to ask, "Why did you do this, and what are your grievances?"
The woman in red smiled lightly and asked rhetorically, "If the concubine says it, what can you do?"
Yi Fan shook his head: "If there is a grievance, naturally someone will help you get justice." If there is no grievance, please leave quickly. ”
Speaking of this, the woman in red instantly turned cold and said sharply: "Don't tell me anything about justice, these high-sounding hypocrisy, that Zhang Yaodong bullied men and women, how many wives were separated, and families were ruined, why didn't justice punish him?"
"You're probably here to take advantage of him, and you're just a dog. ”
"In that case, Xiao Catch, don't blame me for being ruthless. I've been hungry for a long time. ”
The Zhang Yaodong in her mouth is the Zhang Yuanwai.
As she spoke, the woman in red's skin, which was as white as mutton fat, dried up and rotted in an instant, and pus-soaked blood oozed from her pores.
Originally, her beautiful face was as beautiful as a flower, but her fierce expression was exposed, the corners of her mouth were cracked to the root of her ears, and her mouth was full of messy fangs, which was extremely terrifying.
Seeing this scene, Yi Fan was even more shocked.
