Chapter 220: A family that depends on each other
"Funeral?"
The shopkeeper gave him a strange look.
"Yes, yes, what are you asking for?"
"Because we're actually detectives from the Coalition Police Department, and we're here to investigate the case here." Su Bai smiled mysteriously, but he really frightened this boss who loved to watch TV series, and looked at him suspiciously.
"Credentials."
Su Bai flashed a very realistic document in front of him and didn't let him see it clearly, just looking at the black paint and steel seal, it was really decent.
It's just a driver's license.
The coalition police did not give them special documents, so they could only be regarded as entrusting an investigation.
"I see, then this time it must be a secret mission, I know I understand." The boss's eyes changed suddenly, and he sat up from the recliner and whispered with his hand to his mouth, with a faint excitement in his eyes.
What he likes most is this kind of exciting plot like filming TV, and the thought of maybe having to fight with evil gangsters suddenly gives birth to a sense of responsibility.
"We did have a family in this alley a month ago who had a funeral, you see, right there......"
The boss pointed to a closed house about 100 meters down the alley.
"That family was originally an old and a young, the old man was called Lin Qiufen, in his seventies, and he usually earned money by doing some manual odd jobs, the girl was still young, just entered elementary school, and the family's expenses usually relied on the old man to earn his own money."
"What about the child's parents?"
"My parents died a few years earlier. It seems to be a car accident or something, both of them are dead, and this lone seedling is left. ”
Su Bai subconsciously glanced at the closed door, the paint was mottled and the rust spread, and it could be seen that it was very old.
You can almost imagine the hardships of this family's life.
"And then just last month," the boss continued, "that old lady Lin also left because of her asthma for a while, because the family had no money to mourn or the charity department of the Union government took the lead, and now this little girl doll is left in the family to live alone." ”
"Hmmm......"
Su Bai nodded lightly.
The context of the matter is probably clear.
This old lady probably became a ghost after she died, relying on this obsession, and she couldn't rest assured that this granddaughter would live alone, so she stayed here.
As for stealing things, I guess I also rely on the convenience of ghosts to steal to improve my granddaughter's life.
After all, it's not a big evil, and what he stole is not something valuable, so Su Bai thought that as long as he returned the stolen money, he would spare the other party.
"So what will happen to this little girl? Isn't there a solution on the part of the charity sector? Sun Qian on the side was also a little worried when she heard this, and asked worriedly.
"What is this...... the boss shook his head with a strange look in his eyes, "That little girl won't leave here even if she dies." She said that her grandmother didn't die and was always with her, so she didn't want to go to any orphanage......"
That sounds scary.
The boss still remembers that when the people from the charity department tried to persuade the little girl, the little girl innocently said that her grandmother was in the house, and said it very confidently as if she had really seen it with her own eyes, and everyone felt a chill inexplicably, and goosebumps came out.
The little girl refused to go, and if she was forcibly taken away, she would run back inexplicably, and no one knew how this little girl, who was only 7 or 8 years old, did it.
But it did just sit on hold.
But seeing that the little girl is really happy every day, as if someone is really taking care of her every day, others gradually no longer care about this little thing.
As soon as these words came out, several other newcomers felt a little creepy, but Su Bai nodded lightly.
This once again confirmed his suspicions.
Gao Lin next to him seemed to be aware of it, lifted his glasses, lowered his head slightly and whispered to Su Bai, "Is it haunted?" ”
"Hmm. Looks like he's still a good ghost. ”
Su Bai did not deny it, and after thanking the enthusiastic boss, he turned around and walked to the door of the house with a few people and knocked on the door.
No one responded.
The boss at the mouth of the alley shouted again: "The little girl has gone to school, and she won't come back until school in the afternoon." ”
A few people glanced at each other, and there was no way to wait.
An afternoon was spent in a few casual moments.
Su Bai, as the temporary team leader, naturally answered the curious questions of these newcomers while chatting with Lin Wanqin on his mobile phone.
Soon, as the sunset appeared, the sound of several children's laughter and running came from the mouth of the alley.
It was the parents who picked up the children from school and came back.
As a rare stranger, Su Bai and his party naturally attracted the attention of many people, a few half-human-tall children gathered together curiously to look at them, Sun Qian lovingly gave them some candy bought from the small shop to eat, and they scattered happily again.
"It's so nice to be a child......"
It was probably also the age of Ben San, she sighed.
I thought I could rely on my "ability" to reach the pinnacle of my life, but I still have to hunt ghosts here to investigate......
Gao Lin glanced at her and said nothing.
At this time, a small lone figure at the mouth of the alley interrupted the gossip of several people.
With a single ponytail and a heavy school bag on his back, his shadow was stretched long by the red sunset that slanted downward.
"Here we are."
Su Bai, who was originally leaning against the wall, stood up straight, and saw the goal at a glance.
"Yin Qi is very heavy."
Even if he didn't open his eyes, he could recognize it.
The other newcomers, though not as intuitive as him, vaguely saw that something was not quite right.
"There must be a ghost around this little girl."
A newcomer judged.
"Isn't that her grandmother? The facts in front of you. Sun Qian snorted.
"Anyway, if we want to take away her grandmother's ghost, what should this little girl do?"
"Leave it to the charity department. How can a living person be with a ghost for a long time, under the infection of yin qi, he will get sick or have a short life, it is definitely not a long-term solution. ”
"That's too pitiful, the only loved one is leaving......"
A few people discussed it word by word, and Su Bai quietly watched the girl get closer and closer.
"Who are you?"
The little girl's innocent eyes looked at the few people in front of her, who happened to be at the door of her house.
"We're friends with your grandmother and want to come and visit." Su Bai said softly, "But no one has opened the door." ”
"Ah, I'm sorry, grandma, she's always at home, maybe my ears aren't good enough to hear your knock on the door!"
The little girl was very cute and polite, bowed and apologized for the grandmother behind her ear in a panic, and at the same time took out a bunch of keys from her pocket and opened the door in front of them.
Defenseless.
"This little girl is too easy to deceive, isn't she?" Sun Qian couldn't help but mutter.
It's too dangerous to open the door to a stranger casually!
