Hao Ren put down the report, unscrewed the mineral water bottle on the conference table, and took a few sips.

There was silence in the conference room, only the humming sound of the air conditioner outside could be heard, it was the height of summer in July, and the participants felt an inexplicable chill after listening to the case presentation.

After a while, Han Jiangxue took the lead in breaking the silence and asked, "Captain Hao, you're not joking, are you?" ”

Hao Ren looked at Han Jiangxue, and his tone was extremely serious: "This is the conclusion reached by the on-site forensic personnel through the inquest, to be honest, I couldn't believe the results when they first came out." ”

Song Yu said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, it means that the ancients who have been dead for more than 300 years have deceived corpses and killed people. ”

Hao Ren listened, and then continued: "After reading the report, the director does not believe in the dead man's deception, and he urges us to catch the real culprit as soon as possible...... However, according to the evidence provided by the Forensic Division, the murderer is indeed Concubine Hua. ”

At this time, Deputy Director Chen Ming took the microphone and said solemnly: "As a policeman, we have to consider many possibilities, but in the end, we still have to rely on evidence to speak." I have specially invited two national security commissioners to attend the meeting just to hear your views on this case. ”

Song Yu wanted to say something, but he realized that Han Jiangxue, who was an instructor, had not spoken yet, so he had to give up.

"I want to ask, where is Wang Jinlai, the only survivor in this case, now?"

Hao Ren looked up at Han Jiangxue and said without thinking, "I am currently receiving treatment in the Xinghua District Psychiatric Hospital. ”

"Psychiatric hospitals? Hear you say that, that survivor is not mentally normal? ”

Hao Ren nodded and explained to Han Jiangxue: "When the villagers found the survivor, that person's mental state was already in a state of collapse, and he was sent to the Xinghua District Psychiatric Hospital for treatment last Sunday. When we went to record the confession, he kept making a lot of noise in the ward, and when he had enough of it, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging us for protection, because he was afraid that Concubine Hua would come to him in the evening. ”

Song Yu asked in disbelief, "Captain Hao, do you think the mentally ill person's words are credible?" ”

Hao Ren swallowed his saliva, and his expression became a little nervous: "I believe it, because I really met Concubine Hua!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the conference room suddenly exploded, and everyone talked about it, and their faces were full of fear and doubt.

Han Jiangxue took notes and continued to ask, "Captain Hao, please describe in detail how you met Concubine Hua." ”

Hao Ren glanced at the deputy director sitting beside him, and only after the latter's consent did he take the microphone and slowly speak: "That was the third night after the crime, and Xiao Liu and I of the first criminal investigation team went to the psychiatric hospital to visit the surviving villager Wang Jinlai. I remember that his mental state was particularly unstable that night, and he always pointed to the door and window, saying that there was a female ghost in red who came to him to ask for his life. At first, Xiao Liu and I thought that Wang Jin was talking nonsense, and even the doctor who accompanied him said that he was hallucinating......"

Before he finished speaking, Hao Ren seemed to think of something terrible, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"We stayed until 11 o'clock in the evening, when Wang Jinlai was tired and returned to the hospital bed to rest under the care of the doctor. When we left the ward, the lights in the hallway suddenly became on/off, and through the dim light, we vaguely saw a woman dressed in bright red at the end of the hallway. Under the reflection of the light, I was surprised to see that the woman's body was suspended in mid-air, and there was no shadow of her left on the ground. Because the woman's long hair covered her face and she couldn't see her specific appearance clearly, Xiao Liu was bold and walked forward to ask the woman's identity while taking out her police ID card.

At this moment, the woman's hair suddenly parted to the sides, revealing a blue-black face, which was ...... There were no facial features on that face, and there were two large black holes in what should have been eyes. When Xiao Liu saw this situation, he was so frightened that he fainted, I was far away, and I didn't react to what was going on at first, thinking that someone was pretending to be a ghost. I took out a pistol with a silencer and warned the woman not to take another step, but she didn't even look at me, and floated straight towards Wang Jinlai's ward, stopped at the door of the ward, and whispered something.

I don't know if it was out of fear or for other reasons, but I was like a stone statue frozen in place, feeling like I had been immobilized, and I couldn't move at all. The woman stood in the doorway for a few minutes, when the lights in the hallway suddenly went out, and there was darkness all around, and by the time the light was restored, she was long gone. ”

After Hao Ren said this, the sweat on his face kept rolling down and dripping on the table.

Han Jiangxue sorted out her notes and asked puzzledly, "Captain Hao, how can you be sure that the woman in red is Concubine Hua's mother?" ”

Hao Ren drank the remaining water in the mineral water bottle, he looked at Han Jiangxue, forcibly endured the fear in his heart, and his voice trembled: "According to Wang Jinlai, Concubine Hua Niangniang is wearing a phoenix crown and a pair of three-inch golden lotuses under her feet. That night, the woman I saw in the aisle was dressed like this, not to mention that when I passed by her, I could clearly smell a strong smell of corpse from her. I have been a criminal police officer for more than 20 years, and I am very familiar with the smell of corpses, so I am sure that this woman is definitely a terrible ghost who crawled out of the ancient tomb! ”

Deputy Director Chen Ming found that Hao Ren's mental condition was somewhat unstable, so he had to announce the end of the meeting in advance. Li Gang, the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team, called several policemen to take Hao Ren to the hospital, and under Chen Ming's arrangement, Li Gang and Han Jiangxue went to the psychiatric hospital together, planning to wait for the rabbit and visit the female ghost at night.

Leaving the public security bureau building, Han Jiangxue and Song Yu took Li Gang's police car and went to the Xinghua District Psychiatric Hospital.

On the way, Li Gang asked with some suspicion: "Comrade Commissioner, do you say that there are really ghosts in this world?" ”

Han Jiangxue sat in the back seat, looking at the street scene flashing outside the car window, and said in a low voice: "There is nothing impossible in this world, only things that we have not yet known." ”

Li Gang nodded as if he didn't understand, perhaps to ease the heavy atmosphere, he said in a slightly reverent tone: "In terms of dealing with supernatural cases, the two of you are experts, presumably you also often deal with ghosts, evil spirits and other existences, if you really want to talk about it, I, a mortal, still have to rely on your help!" ”

Song Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced back at Han Jiangxue, and the two smiled knowingly and didn't say anything more.

Half an hour later, the police car slowly drove into the Xinghua District Psychiatric Hospital.

As soon as she got out of the car, Han Jiangxue looked up at the building of the mental hospital and couldn't help frowning.

"Jiang Xue, are you aware of it? What a thick yin qi! ”

Song Yu closed the car door, and the expression on his face became extremely solemn.

Han Jiangxue nodded, and whispered to Song Yu: "Yin Qi, Evil Qi, Soul and the like belong to tangible and intangible pure energy bodies, and the perception of these energy bodies by inhumans is far more sensitive than ordinary people, and they can see it without opening any Yin and Yang eyes. ”

Song Yu walked up to Han Jiangxue and asked with a little confusion, "Why can an ordinary person like Hao Ren also see an energy body like a ghost?" ”

Han Jiangxue's eyes stared at the building in front of her, and her expression looked extremely solemn; "Ordinary people generally can't see ghosts, there is only one exception - low luck, walking back words, and the yang energy on the body is weakened but suppressed by the yin energy."
