Chapter 173: Foolishness
"Sister-in-law, there are ghosts, and there are ...... in the tribute courtyard Ghosts! ”
"Nonsense, where the hell is in this world?"
As soon as Wang Xiaojiang's words were finished, the official drank again.
Liu Dongmei frowned and looked at him coldly.
"Brother Guancha, we are here to understand the situation, can you let him finish speaking? If the investigation is delayed because of your relationship, then I will not be responsible! ”
"You ......" the official gritted his teeth: "You are free, I won't speak!" ”
Liu Dongmei withdrew her gaze and took the talisman from Wang Xiaojiang's hand.
The cinnabar on the peace charm has faded to the point where it is almost unrecognizable.
"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid. There was this talisman to protect me before, but this talisman ......"
"It's okay, didn't I come?"
Liu Dongmei took out two peace charms from the cloth bag and handed one to Wang Xiaojiang.
She turned around and handed the remaining one to the officer.
The official glanced at it and snorted coldly: "I never believe in ghosts and gods, I don't need these things." ”
"Okay, then I saved ten taels of silver!"
Liu Dongmei shrugged and put the peace charm back into her cloth bag.
Wang Xiaojiang got the new peace charm, and his heart settled down a little.
"Sister-in-law, when can I go out?"
"It's coming. When I catch that harmful ghost, I can take you out. ”
As soon as he heard the word "ghost", Wang Xiaojiang trembled with fright.
When Liu Dongmei saw him like this, she knew how tormented he had been in the past nine days.
"Second brother, tell me in detail about what you encountered."
"Good!" Wang Xiaojiang nodded and said slowly: "On the first day, everything was normal.
But at night, I dreamed of a ghost with a bloody face. He also said that my answer sheet was too one-sided and wanted to take away my pen.
I woke up scared and thought it was a dream. I didn't expect my pen to be ...... Someone has moved it.
After that, I heard screams coming from next door. The scream was very harsh, but it sounded every night. ”
Saying that, Wang Xiaojiang seemed to be stuck in a bad memory.
His face turned pale, and he looked like he wanted to say it, but he didn't dare to say it.
"And then? The peace charm I gave you, the cinnabar is almost all faded, he should be looking for you more than once, right? ”
"More than that!" Wang Xiaojiang shook his head: "He comes every night, and he has a ring ruler in his hand." His hand could not touch me, so he struck me with a ruler. ”
Wang Xiaojiang rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thin black arms.
He looked at his arm, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Strange, why not?"
"Yes, I can see it!"
Liu Dongmei stretched out her hand and gently touched the bruises on Wang Xiaojiang's arm.
Hearing Wang Xiaojiang gasp in pain, she hurriedly withdrew her hand again.
"He hit them with a ruler?"
"Yes!" Wang Xiaojiang nodded: "Sister-in-law, why can't I see it?" ”
"Ordinary people don't have heavenly eyes, they can't see ghosts, and naturally they can't see any traces left by ghosts. You can see it before, it's when you fall asleep, and your soul is out of your body. ”
"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost!"
The officials standing on the side really couldn't stand it.
"You keep saying that you will help us investigate the case, and this is how you investigated? Are you going to tell me that the murderers of those students are not humans, but ghosts? ”
Hearing this, Liu Dongmei turned her head to look at the officer.
She pretended not to hear the ridicule in the officer's words, and said with a smile: "The official brother is so smart, the murderer is a ghost!" ”
"Nonsense......
Before the official could finish speaking, Liu Dongmei was labeled with a ghost charm by him.
It's not scary to have an ordinary person around, it's scary to have this ordinary person suspicious of you all the time and interrupt what you're going to do.
Liu Dongmei didn't bother to explain to him again, the best way was to let him see the ghost with his own eyes.
To see is to believe.
He suspects she's talking gibberish, but he should trust his own eyes!
Thinking about it, Liu Dongmei pointed to Wang Xiaojiang's arm.
"Brother Guancha, look at it now, what's on his arm?"
Hearing this, the official looked in the direction her finger was pointing.
When he saw the bruises on Wang Xiaojiang's arms, his brows furrowed slightly.
"When did you draw these wounds?"
Liu Dongmei: "......"
Very foolish!
"What conclusion have you come to when you've asked and you've asked?"
The officer's words brought back Liu Dongmei's thoughts.
"The conclusion is that the killer will show up at night." Liu Dongmei looked around: "Brother Guancha, in order to catch the murderer faster, I still need your help." ”
"You say!"
"Let those students go home."
"No way!" The official didn't think about it, so he refused: "Except for this, it's okay." ”
"Okay, then please ask you to change those students who are far away from us to empty seats that are closer to us, preferably two people in a pit. The murderers are coming at them, and if they are too scattered, I can't take care of them. ”
Liu Dongmei had already guessed that the official would not agree to the first proposal.
She deliberately put it forward, just to make the official feel that the second proposal was easier to do in comparison.
As Liu Dongmei thought, the official heard her second proposal, hesitated slightly, and then nodded in agreement.
Although the official is rigid and stubborn, his efficiency is still quite high.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the students were gathered in the pit near Liu Dongmei.
However, the number of students is large, and two people are still very scattered.
When the official returned, Liu Dongmei had already put a ghost charm on herself.
The official has a ghost charm on his body, and he can see her, but Wang Xiaojiang can't see it.
"Sister-in-law, where have you been?"
"Isn't she in front of you, what are you yelling about?"
The official pointed at Liu Dongmei, a little impatient.
Wang Xiaojiang looked in the direction he was pointing, his eyes overflowing with confusion.
"I ...... How can I not see it? ”
"Second brother, I used an invisibility talisman, you can't see me. But don't be afraid, I will always be there for you to protect you. ”
"What invisibility charm?" The official said disdainfully: "If you are invisible, how can I see you?" ”
"Not only can you see me, but you can also see ghosts in a while. But you don't have to be too happy, you may not be able to recognize the ghost when you see it. ”
"Hmph, the more you talk about it, the more ridiculous it becomes."
The official didn't bother to pay attention to her, thinking that she was talking nonsense.
Liu Dongmei didn't want to explain anymore, so she handed the dry food she brought to Wang Xiaojiang.
She herself coped with the two mouthfuls at random, found an empty seat and sat down, and waited patiently.
The night is getting deeper.
The students were already tired after nine days and fell asleep early.
The official put his hands around his chest and stood aside.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, a scream suddenly came into his ears.
