Chapter 88: Homicide
Niu Baiye swaggered to the front hall and looked at the bright red female ghost in the front hall.
"I'm rubbing, what the hell is this?"
I pointed to the newly installed TV on the counter.
"The female corpse is on the nighttime news in Bincheng. ”
The female ghost was still roaring in her mouth.
"I want revenge. I want revenge. I'm going to sign a contract with Huangquan Dumpling Restaurant!"
Niu Baiye is a well-informed person, he has been working in the Huangquan dumpling restaurant for so long. It is estimated that I have seen a lot of strange ghosts like female ghosts in front of me.
"Well, sign the contract. Good!"
Niu Baiye regained his composure in an instant, his eyes were still half-open, and he was still sleepy.
"Xiao Wang, you learn a little from me. In the future, there will be ghosts to sign the contract, and these little things will not disturb my sleep again. ”
I nodded in horror, trying to keep my uneasiness in check.
"Okay! It's my first time, and I have no experience. ”
Niu Baiye turned around and went back to the back kitchen, I didn't dare to be in the same space with this female ghost at the same time.
He pulled up his legs and followed behind Niu Baiye. Pretend to study.
I saw that Niu Baiye, under the incense case in the back kitchen, found a pile of yellow burning paper used to go to the grave.
He also took a finger-thick wolf brush, as well as the four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Niu Baiye took these things back to the front hall, and I still followed closely.
Niu Baiye handed me a round inkstone and an ink block the size of an eraser.
"Brother, pour some mineral water and grind some ink out. ”
I got the order and took the inkstone and the ink block.
I held the ink in my hand, though it was only a small piece. But the weight is full. The feel is very soft and smooth, like holding a piece of fine mutton fat jade.
"That's a good thing. Old Man Su is really careless, and he piles such a good baby in the back kitchen like garbage!"
Niu Baiye explained to me.
"This is the finest rosin ink, native to Siam, and during the Tang Dynasty, it was a first-class tribute treasure that only the imperial concubines in the palace could use. Ordinary people use it, but they want to kill their heads. ”
I took out a bottle of mineral water from the counter, poured a few drops of mineral water into the inkstone, and then placed the ink block in the inkstone and grinded it slowly.
If you don't pour it, the water in the inkstone will become, deep black and thick ink.
"This rosin ink is also very valuable now! It feels really good. Old Man Su is really hidden, and he can find out any gadgets at random, all of which are heirloom antiques. ”
Niu Baiye yawned listlessly.
"The old man always said that the affairs of ghosts and gods must not be slackened. If you can use the best, use the best. There is a loss, there is a gain. The more you give, the more you get back. ”
I nodded silently, handed the ground ink to Niu Baiye, and watched what he should do next, what kind of process is this contract with ghosts?
I saw Niu Baiye spreading the yellow paper used for the grave on the counter. Dip a wolf's quill in ink.
Ask the female ghost.
"Name?"
The female ghost replied.
"Chu Jinfeng. ”
"Birthday?"
"23 April 1995. ”
This female ghost is not very old, I pinched my fingers and counted. He is also only 26 years old. It's still in its prime. It's a pity to meet such a perverted and vicious gangster.
When it's coming, it's treated like a beast by others.
Niu Baiye continued to ask.
"Time of death?"
"On the evening of November 4, 2020. ”
November 4th, isn't it last night? It happened to be the time for Niu Baiye to kill the tiger and stew soup in the back kitchen. At the same time, in another part of Penang, a girl was also bullied.
Niu Baiye dragged a long voice and continued to ask.
"What do you want?"
The female ghost replied grimly.
"Help me find the real culprit. I want revenge. ”
Niu Baiye suddenly slapped the counter.
"It's okay to find the real culprit, but we don't want to do it in Huangquan Dumpling Restaurant. ”
The female ghost's round eyes bulged bigger and bigger in her sockets. Suddenly, the left eyeball burst out like a glass ball.
"Killing people pays for life, debts are repaid, and the way of heaven is reincarnated....... ”
Niu Baiye was not afraid at all, only to see him waving his hand impatiently.
"Stuff your eyeballs back, who are you scared? Our Huangquan Dumpling Restaurant can only be responsible for helping to find the murderer, if you dare to do something to take revenge and ask for your life. Our Huangquan dumpling restaurant will not let you go. ”
The female ghost suddenly shook her body. I can see it clearly. The blood vessels and major arteries in his body were dilating excitedly.
Niu Baiye yawned again, so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes.
"Hurry up, if you want to sign a contract, you will do what I say, and if you don't want to sign a contract, you will pull it down. Xiao Wang, open the door to send off guests. ”
Hear the word send-off. My tense mood suddenly relaxed.
"Alas!"
I walked to the gate in three steps and two steps. Pull the glass door of the dumpling restaurant open.
"Guest, don't send it!"
Unexpectedly, the female ghost stood in place, hesitating repeatedly, but she refused to move!
Niu Baiye threw the brush in his hand on the table.
"Huh, you little, what? ”
"No, no!"
The female ghost denied it again and again.
"I, I sign. As long as I find the murderer, I must find that person, I want to ....... ”
She suddenly glanced at Niu Baiye, and swallowed the second half of the sentence she wanted to say back into her stomach.
Niu Baiye picked up the brush. I saw him write casually on yellow paper.
Then turn the yellow paper to the female ghost.
"Sign, draw, and print. ”
The female ghost picked up the brush and made a circle on the yellow paper.
Niu Baiye took out the ink clay from the counter and put it next to the female ghost.
"I still have to press my handprints. ”
"Ahh
I was surprised at the same time as the female ghost.
I asked.
"Brother Niu, he has no fingerprints, what's the difference between pressing his fingerprint and not pressing it?"
Niu Baiye scratched his head. Think about it for a moment.
"But the process has to go too! Just press it, whatever it is. ”
When the female ghost heard this, she didn't use her fingers to press the ink, and directly slapped a bloody hand on the yellow paper, and a big bloody handprint suddenly appeared on the yellow paper.
Niu Baiye transcribed another copy according to the content on the yellow paper.
Then pick up a lighter, light the replica, and throw it in the trash.
Less pouring, this yellow paper burned out in the trash. I saw that the female ghost grabbed it from the air casually, and an intact contract appeared in his hand.
Niu Baiye said with a glance.
"Today, there is a ghost Chu Jinfeng who signed a commission contract with my Huangquan Dumpling Restaurant, and the contract is in duplicate. There is one place in the yang and one in the underworld, you and I do things according to the agreement, although Zi is a ghost and evil spirit. But it must not endanger the world. ”
The female ghost nodded.
Take that piece of paper. Gloomily left the Huangquan Dumpling Restaurant.
I hurriedly closed the door.
Thinking of the bloody body of the female ghost, I still have palpitations.
Niu Baiye sorted out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the counter, and handed me the yellow paper with a bloody handprint on the female ghost.
"You can keep it. Dekong saw Danhong and handed it to her. I'll have to go back to sleep! No, after thirty days of noon, this body is really not as good as it used to be.
Back then, I didn't eat, drink or sleep for a week. It's like being okay. It's only been less than four days now, and it's almost cost me half my life. ”
I neatly folded the piece of yellow paper and carefully tucked it into my trouser pocket.
"Brother Niu, why do we Huangquan Dumpling Restaurant even take over the work of finding the murderer, don't we have to deal with this matter by the public security department?
Niu Baiye pursed his lips and stretched his waist.
"There's no way, our Huangquan Dumpling Restaurant has rules. The last wish of the dead ghost must be accepted.
Anyway, the Public Security Bureau will also investigate this case. Let's do a little help in the dark, this thing is easy to do. I just don't have much income. In the end, it's all in vain. ”
I nodded knowingly.
"I didn't expect our dumpling restaurant to have such a rich business. You can also be a detective to solve the case by the way. ”
In fact, when I wanted to apply for university, I was particularly impulsive to apply for the Police Academy. However, I have no choice but to be able to get a higher-paying job out of reality. I gave up this wish.
It's better now. In this Huangquan dumpling restaurant, I will do a small part-time job.
