Chapter 39: Ten Thousand Years Later
"Who is Your Excellency, and what are you looking for me?"
Xu Shu said loudly, gritting his teeth and continuing forward.
As soon as the words fell, he could clearly see the man's eyebrows, high nose and thin face, thin body, thick and messy hair, and a decadent atmosphere.
Xu Shu stared at the man in a daze, and a huge wave set off in his heart.
The man on the bridge spoke first, "Don't worry, I'm just a remnant soul, in Mr. Shouyi's house, those fierce ghosts can't hurt you, let alone me." ”
Xu Shu exclaimed, "You were there at the time, you, who are you?" ”
"Didn't you guess?
To Cao Daming and Wang Changbao, you will be excited and angry.
When you see the bright moon, you will have close feelings.
These uncontrollable emotions are my faint residual thoughts affecting you.
However, those residual thoughts will not last long, and now that I am here to meet you, I can eliminate those residual thoughts, and this is the only thing I can help you. ”
As he spoke, the man walked slowly towards Xu Shu.
Xu Shu took a step back, then calmed down again, pinched the green ring, and was ready to shoot at any time.
The man walked closer, put his hand on Xu Shu's shoulder, and a strange cold attacked, Xu Shu only felt that his brain seemed to explode, and countless memory fragments hit him, which were quickly digested.
Time has only passed for a moment, but it seems to have passed seventeen years.
A large number of memories and feelings that did not exist before filled his chest at the moment.
The man lowered his hand, his figure ethereal, "What's your name?" Oh, don't ask, you are Xu Shu, Xu Shu is you. ”
Xu Shu was in a complicated mood.
The man smiled and beckoned Xu Shu to sit down on the bridge, "You don't have to think about it, my death has nothing to do with you." Actually, I'm quite grateful for your coming, at least you defeated Cao Daming, overthrew Wang Changbao, helped Mingyue, won the first place in the preliminary examination, and was admitted to the university, all of which I couldn't do. ”
Xu Shu said, "You and I have a completely different impression. ”
The man smiled, "Do you have the impression that I am cowardly and incompetent, sensitive in my heart, and not good at words?" ”
Xu Shu smiled and didn't speak.
"Of course, whoever dies once will be different."
The man sat down on the bridge, "What's more, there are too many stories and insights in this spirit cage, and it is difficult to grow up." ”
Xu Shu took out a cigarette, lit it, and handed it to the man, who took it, took a puff, and spit out a smoke ring, "I listened to a senior in the spirit cage talk about why men love to smoke, saying that the length of the cigarette can carry emptiness, and the size of the cigarette box is just enough to fill the loneliness. ”
"Couldn't be more apt!"
Xu Shu laughed and lit one as well, "If I don't come, is it possible for you to come back to life?" ”
The man said, "What about coming back to life?" No matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with the people who have been given me.
Besides, I probably won't try.
These days in the Spirit Cage, I have so much time to think about my life.
It is appropriate to use a senior surnamed Zhang to describe myself: every time I come to a crossroads in my life, I don't know which path is right, but I never take ............ Because that road is too difficult.
I turned to other paths, but unfortunately, there is no road in vain in life, every step counts.
I have the ending I have now precisely because every step counts. ”
Xu Shu was silent.
After a long time, he looked at the man and asked sincerely, "Is there anything you need me to do?" ”
The man stood up and clenched his fists tightly, "Take the path I didn't dare to think of, do what I didn't dare to think of."
If you can, let Xu Shu's humble name be mentioned after 10,000 years.
I know, you can. ”
As he spoke, he extinguished the cigarette butt, leaped forward, turned into a rainbow shadow, and fell into the surging river of innocence.
Xu Shu silently bowed three times to the Qingbai River, stood in the center of the bridge for a long time, and walked slowly towards the opposite bank.
He had just reached the other side, and a vast fog was pouring in, obscuring everything.
After a few breaths, the fog dissipated, and the eyes suddenly lit up, and under the dazzling sun, the green hills were lingering, and the water was murmuring.
When I turned around, I saw a dilapidated stone bridge, piled crookedly on the shallow stream.
Xu Shu walked a few steps closely, came to the stone bridge, and saw the cigarette butts on the ground, and was shocked in his heart, "This, this is the bridge in the spirit cage?" ”
Immediately after, he flicked his left arm, his cuffs slipped, and a hoarse boning knife fell into his hand, facing the sun and exuding a cold atmosphere.
"It's not a dream of Nanke."
He stood on the bridge and looked out, there was movement in the grass in the west, he ran over, but saw Qin Bing lying in the grass, sleeping soundly.
He screamed twice, Qin Bing woke up and turned around, grabbed Xu Shu's sleeve tightly, his eyes were full of panic.
Xu Shu comforted her for a few words, and then told her what happened in the spirit cage, and hid the encounter with that person alone.
"So, as long as you find the resentful corpse and resolve the resentment on his body, the spirit gate can be closed? So what are you waiting for. ”
After traveling more than ten miles, I went to a village, and I found someone to ask that the two of them were in Jiayu County, which was a hundred miles away from Yunhai Town.
The two rented a carriage and spent most of the day rushing to the railway station thirty miles away to take the train back to Chunshen.
When it was almost dark, Xu Shu and Qin Bing re-arrived in Yunhai Town, and when they found Duan Kuohai, he was already so anxious that his mouth was full of fire.
Qin Bing said the situation, and Duan Kuohai sighed, "With the widespread spread of spiritual sources, this world is becoming more and more dangerous.
The more I look at the road ahead, the more I don't understand. ”
Xu Shu said, "No matter when, improving your strength is always king.
Let's quickly settle this resentful corpse case, collect all the merit points, and exchange the source leaf for Teacher Qin. ”
Duan Kuohai nodded, and at that moment, the three of them took two sheriffs and rushed towards the City God Temple.
The wind and snow in the entire Yunhai Town have dispersed, the residents have not returned, and after the resentment has raged, even the insects, snakes, rats and foxes have disappeared, and there is a dead silence all around.
When they arrived at the Dechenghuang Temple, the three of them came to the well, looked down, and were surprised together.
I saw a man lying at the bottom of the well, and the soil around him had been soaked in blood and turned dark red.
Qin Bing took out an apricot yellow talisman, and the apricot talisman flew down the well, and only halfway through, Huo Di burst into flames.
Qin Bing's face turned pale, "It's so strong and resentful, and the name of the resentful corpse is well deserved." ”
"Can you get closer?"
Duan Kuohai asked with a calm face.
Qin Bing said, "Grievances don't hurt people, ordinary people can't perceive them, and they can be detected normally." ”
"Xiao Luo, make this call."
Duan Kuo posted a string of phone numbers, and a sheriff left quickly.
Two hours later, three white coats arrived, and the white beard in the lead, Xu Shu had the impression that it was Qin Ming, the top forensic doctor of the Chunshen Public Security Bureau.
When Qin Ming conducted an autopsy, Duan Kuohai took a picture of the deceased's appearance with a camera, and asked to find out the identity of the deceased as soon as possible.
Two hours later, Qin Ming came out of the well, and the deceased was also lifted out of the well.
Qin Ming briefed the three of them, "At present, it is judged that the deceased died of ischemic shock, and before falling into the well, he had suffered many fatal injuries, this was found at the scene, and it should be the murder weapon." ”
As he spoke, he took out a dagger, which was covered with chips and rust, and no one would want it if he threw it in the garbage heap.
Qin Bing frowned, "Who would use such an unfortunate weapon, as if it was picked up temporarily." ”
Qin Ming said, "You have to investigate this." The time of death of the deceased should have been between 5 and 7 p.m. the day before yesterday.
For the time being, there is only so much that can be concluded, and in order to have more information, further autopsy of the body of the deceased will have to be done. ”
After Qin Ming finished explaining, he returned to the security room of Yunhai Town with the corpse, and he wanted to do an autopsy nearby.
Two hours later, Zeng Shun, head of the Yunhai Town Security Office, brought important news, "It has been ascertained that the deceased's name is Zhang Wei, 21 years old, from Chunshen, unemployed, without a fixed residence, his parents died early, and he has a younger sister who was adopted by his uncle Zhang Neng......"
After Zeng Shun finished reporting, Duan Kuohai said, "Since Zhang Wei is so down, killing him is definitely not to rob money." Is it a vendetta, or a love killing?
Director Zeng immediately investigated Zhang Wei's social relations and brought the relevant personnel back for questioning. ”
"Yes!"
Zeng Shun acted quickly.
Duan Kuohai got up, took the cigarette from Xu Shu's pocket with ease, and smoked it beautifully.
Qin Bing said, "Team Duan, you seem to be very relaxed. ”
"Of course."
Duan Kuohaidao, "The catastrophe mutant elephant has disappeared, and most of our tasks have been completed."
And the case in front of me should not be difficult to solve, and seeing that a lot of work has been done, of course I am relaxed. ”
Qin Bing pointed at Xu Shu and said, "Some people are depressed, I'm afraid this case is not that simple." ”
Duan Kuohai snuffed out the cigarette butt, "Xiao Xu, this case is difficult?" ”
Xu Shu shook his head, "It's not difficult, I don't know yet, I'm thinking about how to dissipate the resentment of the resentful corpse." ”
"Xiao Qin is an expert in this area."
Duan Kuohai looked at Qin Bing.
Qin Bing said, "Ordinary resentful souls can be eliminated with talismans, and if they are stronger, it will be good to form a large array."
But this is a resentful corpse, and I can't do it as a second-order recruiter, even a third-order spiritual Taoist can't do it. ”
For a while, the three of them were each melancholy.
Half an hour later, a security officer invited the three of them to go to the security room in Yunhai Town for dinner.
After dinner, the three of them found a room to sleep in the security room of Yunhai Town.
Early the next morning, Xu Shu was sleeping hazy, and there was a sound of chirping in the courtyard.
He washed up and rushed to the door, Duan Kuohai walked towards him with a bag of fritters, "Lao Zeng has done a good job, and the relevant people and certificates have been brought."
The task of questioning the case will be entrusted to you......"
Before he finished speaking, the remaining fritters in his hand disappeared.
Ten minutes later, Xu Shu and Qin Bing sat side by side behind the long desks in the interrogation room, and Zeng Shun also specially assigned a professional recorder.
Xu Shu did not find someone to come in for questioning at the first time, but carefully flipped through the file, and all the records on the file were yesterday's work of Chief Zeng.
Qin Bing took a small bite of the fritters that Xu Shu snatched from Duan Kuohai, and complained in a low voice that there was no soy milk.
"Do you need to hurry? Witnesses will have to be called soon. ”
Qin Bingbai glanced at him, hurriedly stuffed the last fritter into his mouth, his cheeks bulged, holding the file and pretending to flip through the case.
Soon, Xu Shu summoned the first witness, a man with glasses in his forties, combing his hair parted, and after sitting in a chair, he was cramped and uneasy.
Without waiting for Xu Shu to ask, he spoke first.
