Chapter 265: Zhang He (1)
When Li Yun looked at this strange man, he had a strange feeling in his heart.
The smell of death was made stronger by his direct gaze. At the same time, the apparitions he had seen before reappeared.
There seemed to be a huge gate behind the man. The gates were shut. The city walls, which stretched infinitely on both sides, and had been submerged in the mist, were crawling with all kinds of people.
Such a "person" cannot be called a human being, nor can it be called a ghost.
The distance between Li Yun and the man suddenly widened. It seems that thousands of miles away, there are many such "people" lying or lying on the yellow earth in the middle.
The two of them met their gaze.
Li Yun suddenly came to his senses.
The man was not present in the surveillance room.
They are just like just now, separated by a distance in space, but in terms of feeling, they can already perceive each other's existence.
Li Yun couldn't help but hold his breath, subconsciously feeling that even if the other party looked over, he might not be able to see him truly.
Maybe you see the other person, but the other person only realizes the vague position where you are.
After all, his five senses are different from ordinary people, and there is something peculiar.
Li Yun was thinking like this when he heard the man speak.
"Who are you?" The other party asked, showing a thoughtful expression, "Do you know Bai Ying?" ”
Li Yun was shocked, and the muscles on his face and his entire body tensed.
He didn't show the slightest expression, but such subtle movements had already been captured by the other party.
"You don't look like the one who killed Bai Ying." The man said calmly, with a friendly smile, "Don't be nervous. I was just hired to investigate the truth about Bai Ying's death. I've been looking here for a long time, but I haven't found Bai Ying's soul. Do you know how she died? ”
Li Yun's mind was spinning at this moment.
The phantom he saw was distorted, the city gate and those "people" became illusory, only the person in front of him was still so real.
The distance between the two seems to have narrowed a bit.
Li Yun suddenly became vigilant.
The other party took back the steps that he was about to step on.
He spread his hands and made a harmless gesture, "Let's introduce myself first." My name is Zhang He, and I am also well-known in this circle. You're dead, aren't you? If necessary, we can make a deal. If you have any regrets in your life, or what you want to do now, as long as it is not the evil act of murder and arson, I can help you. I can help you temporarily restore your yang. ”
Zhang He's relaxed and confident tone made people inexplicably feel good.
Li Yun subconsciously thought about his parents, and then thought of the ghosts that disappeared in the Yangcang Church.
He didn't hide his emotions this time.
"Anything goes. I'm also quite capable of it. In general, I charge for a fee. However, you should have no money now. Let's just do it. You tell me the truth about Bai Ying's death, do me a favor, and I will do you a favor. That's fair, right? Zhang He said again, "Since you know about Bai Ying's death, you should also know that she died unjustly, right?" At least, she wasn't killed when she was a traitor, right? She also has her parents and family. The truth that the police can't find out has to be told to her parents and family. ”
Zhang He is not unreasonable.
Li Yun was a little moved.
He pondered, considering how much truth he should tell Zhang He.
For Li Yun, this is not a simple matter.
Bai Ying's death was due to multiple factors.
If it weren't for Fang Tian and Bai Ying, Bai Ying would definitely not have found the Financial Building;
If it weren't for the boss opening a company in Jinrong Building, the mourning bird would definitely not sneak in and collide with Bai Ying;
If you want to add one factor, it is Li Yun's predecessor, the seventh Li Yun. I didn't pay attention when I went in and out, and it was the No. 7 Li Yun who put the mourning bird in and let the mourning bird find out the boss's breath.
In addition, if you want to take care of it, Xue Xiaolian, Yi Xin and the boss's indifference to this, as well as Bai Ying's own impulsiveness and arrogance, can be regarded as a reason.
Expand one layer more, Li Yun and Uncle Li, black and white impermanence can also be counted in the reason.
Without any one person, or any one of them, who was more sensible and thoughtful, tragedy would not have happened.
Li Yun thought like this, and there was a slight regret in his heart.
I am afraid that this kind of truth is not clear to the family of the deceased.
Li Yun pondered and said embarrassedly: "I know the reason, but you may not believe in that reason, and there is no proof of it." ”
Zhang He smiled, "You were an ordinary person when you were alive, right?" ”
Li Yun was not surprised by Zhang He's sudden question, nor did he answer it.
"Don't worry, I'll accept any reason. It is my job to convince Bai Ying's family. I can't guarantee that they will accept it the same way I do, but I was only commissioned to investigate the cause of Bai Ying's death. Zhang He's words were well-organized, although he was indifferent, but this indifference also made outsiders feel at ease.
Li Yun thought for a while and said, "It's a mourning bird." They happened to meet. You can also investigate the identity of the mourning bird, his name is Xiao Shuai. ”
Saying this, Li Yun stared at Zhang He in front of him.
Zhang He raised his eyebrows, and after being surprised, he looked relieved.
"Oh. That's bad luck. Zhang He nodded, "In this case, the death of her best friend and boyfriend can also be explained." ”
Li Yun felt a hint of strangeness in his heart.
"Thank you. Is there anything you can help me with? Zhang He changed his words.
Li Yun said without thinking, "Where is this?" ”
Zhang He was stunned and pointed to the huge city gate behind him, "Can you see the words on the city gate?" ”
Li Yun looked up, but soon, he gave up.
The fog not only obscured the city walls in the distance, but even the city gates were obscured, and the shadows were so large that it was impossible to see the details on them.
Zhang He replied: "There is the capital of Xu, and we are outside the city. ”
Li Yun was a little surprised, but quickly accepted the answer.
He looked at the "people" all over the ground in confusion.
The situation in Xudu seems to be very different from the black and white impermanence they depict in the scene.
But it's not like black and white impermanence deliberately concealed it, trying to trick him and Uncle Li into going to the capital, so he lied.
"They are ghosts who have left for their own sake. After leaving like that, you can't go back to Xudu. Zhang He explained.
"Why don't you go to the world to be reincarnated?" Li Yun still has doubts.
"Yes, why......" Zhang He sighed casually, just echoing Li Yun's question, not at all distracted.
Li Yun came to his senses.
Go to the capital, reincarnate, stay in the world, and become a ghost...... Either choice is actually a rational decision after death. Sensibility prevails, and reason is overwhelmed by emotion.
These "people" may have forgotten that they have other options.
As for why they left the capital without permission, it was probably because their emotions overwhelmed their minds and they made a decision impulsively.
Li Yun looked at these "people" now, and only felt creepy.
He could be like that at any moment.
It may not be lying outside the city, like the walking dead; It may also be that he stays in the world and becomes a ghost.
No one knows when the sanity of the ghost will burst.
Li Yun fell silent.
"You answered me a question, and I answered you a question. Let's settle the score. Zhang He smiled, "It's time for me to leave too." ”
Li Yun came back to his senses and looked at Zhang He's smiling face.
He was no stranger to such a formulaic smile, and he had seen many similar attitudes before his death.
"Goodbye." Zhang He bowed his head, and his figure disappeared directly into those "people".
In the distorting illusion, Li Yun saw other people.
Such as Zhang He, and those who are different from those "people".
It was a living soul from the human world, and there were not many of them. They wandered, some stood aimlessly in place, others looked among those "people".
The strange and strange scene eventually disappears completely.
Li Yun's consciousness returned, and around him was the room of the monitoring room.
The phone also remains on the phone.
Li Yun picked up his phone.
"Sister Xue, did you hear what happened just now?" Li Yun asked.
Not surprisingly, he heard Xue Xiaolian's negative answer.
Bai Ying's family is investigating her death. Sister Yi should have been suspected. They invited people, and they were the kind of cultivators you talked about. I told him that the funeral bird had caused it, and he probably didn't fully believe it. Li Yun also expressed his speculation, "He may not necessarily tell Bai Ying's family about his suspicions......
Zhang He doesn't look like a trouble-loving person.
He may be more willing to tell Bai Ying's family that Bai Ying's death was an accident than a revenge object that he needs his help to solve.
It's just that if Bai Ying's family doesn't accept this explanation......
Li Yun frowned worriedly.
