Chapter Thirteen: The Ghost Case in the Imperial Capital (Ask the Way)
???I stood on a rainy night and couldn't calm down for a long time until a black car drove in front of me. The man opened the car door and shouted, "Brother, where are you going?"
I woke up, looked at the person in the car window, thought for a while, and said, "Huaxia Private Women's College!"
When I got into his car, I did not go back to Lin's house, but went back to Huaxia Private Women's College. When I arrived, it was raining and I hurriedly paid the fare. I found a hotel around me to stay. From the direction where I lived, I could just see the science and technology building of Huaxia Private Women's College.
On a hazy rainy night, it looks a bit mysterious, like a big tree standing in it.
I went to take a shower, then lay in the quilt, Xiao Shi stood at the head of the bed, looked at the Huaxia Private Women's College and said, "This time, I'm afraid it's not that simple. How could the girl's soul appear there? Where is she going?"
"The place we were just here is five hundred meters away from the place of death. According to regulations, if a person's soul remains in the world after death, he shall not leave the place of death for five hundred meters."
"There is another possibility." Xiao Shi suddenly looked at me and raised his eyebrows: "That's Mingpan Lake is not her first place to die!"
"You mean she is likely to die somewhere else?" I was shocked. Xiao Shi nodded and gave an explanation that was bold but not losing his position.
"Think about it, people have been dead for almost half a month, but the girl in the morgue said that no one has come to see her for half a month. Don't you think it's strange?"
Xiao Shi asked.
"It may be an orphan."
"It's not an orphan. What she said is, it means that the girl knows that she has family members, but the family members didn't see her."
"Don't want to see it?"
I continued to retort, but my position became increasingly unstable. After hearing what I said, Xiao Shi shook his head and said, "It's not that I haven't seen it, but the family members don't even know that their daughter is in the morgue in the city hospital."
"It's too messy, please make sense."
I quickly stopped, and what Xiao Shi said was almost crazy, but I didn't hear any of them.
"In summary, someone concealed the news that the deceased appeared in Mingpan Lake from the family of the deceased, and the deceased actually died in other places, not next to Mingpan Lake."
Xiao Shi said helplessly.
"So should we just find the family of the deceased and ask them if they know the current situation of the deceased?"
"This is the theory, but the problem is that we don't know the location of the home of the deceased."
"Qiuyan might know," I said suddenly, but after thinking about it, I had to sigh helplessly, "She can't do it. When she mentions the death of Mingpan Lake, she is like crazy."
"Just prepare a requiem incense"
"Is that thing OK?"
I was puzzled.
"Indirect amnesia, from a medical perspective, is nerve damage, and from a metaphysical perspective, it is a horror. The soul is always in a state of tension, which leads to huge pain. It is like a tense Hyun, unable to bear a slight fluctuation, and the requiem can let her relax and enter a state of emptiness, similar to hypnosis!"
“You can try it.”
I said a word and quickly turned over. Xiao Shi took me the incense candle and talisman paper. Requiem incense is to draw a requiem talisman, and then introduce the smoke from the burning of the talisman paper into the incense. When the incense burns, the smoke inside will be released.
Requiem incense was originally used for health preservation, but some people used to attract or nourish souls.
I burned two soul requiem talismans in a row before I made the soul requiem incense. Most of the smoke was not absorbed well because of the technique.
This caused the room to be smoky and I had no choice but to open the window for breath. The sky was already open, but the rain had no intention of stopping.
Fortunately, it was not as big as before, and it was regained its sparse situation again. After I put away the requiem incense, I ran to the telephone booth downstairs, and then I remembered that I put the note in Lin Xuan'er's car.
After thinking hard for a long time, I only remembered the first few, but I forgot all the last number.
Xiao Shi and I looked at each other and smiled bitterly. We had to try one number and one number. Two of them answered were men. They had a bad tone and scared me so much that I hung up the phone. It was not until the seventh time that a young female voice rang out from the other end.
“Hey, are you?”
She said.
"Qiuyan?"
I asked carefully, praying in my heart that I could hit the right one. After hearing this, I hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I am, who are you?"
"That's right. I'm the boy yesterday. I have something to ask you for help. See if you can come back to the hotel."
I said a little restrainedly, feeling like the wolf grandmother cheated on Little Red Riding Hood. I asked a girl to come to me in the hotel early in the morning. No matter how I thought about it, I felt something was wrong, so I quickly added: "Actually, you can come here at noon."
"Hehe, you're so interesting. I'll wait for me some time now."
She laughed tremblingly on the other end, and hurriedly explained, and hung up the phone before I could speak.
Xiao Shi glanced at me, then glanced at the phone, shook his head and sighed, and then suddenly said, "I have a little doubt that you are afraid of being a bachelor in your life!"
"Why do you say it?"
I asked in confusion.
“It’s a sad thing to be too low in emotional intelligence”
“……………………”
Xiao Shi and I were waiting at the entrance of the hotel. In the early morning, there was a vendor passing by. I bought a portion of soy milk and fried dough sticks, but Xiao Shi scolded me a few times. He forced me to buy another portion, so in the end, I stood in the drizzle with soy milk in one hand and stuffed fried dough sticks into my mouth with the other.
Qiuyan appeared in sight about half an hour later, wearing red clothes and a pair of bells tied on her feet. When she walked around, the bells made a crisp sound.
She was holding a red oil-paper umbrella, revealing only a fair and white jade hand, but I remember her breath, so I recognized her.
After seeing me in the rain, she came up quickly, pulled me into an umbrella, took the fried dough sticks and soy milk from my hand without any restraint, then stuffed the oil-paper umbrella to me, and pulled a piece of fried dough sticks and put them in her mouth.
He chewed and said to me, "Is there anything I want to ask?"
"Let's go upstairs, it's raining here too much."
I said.
"Upstairs?" She glanced at the hotel after hearing this, then glanced at me, and suddenly said with a calm face: "Will you be ill-treated against me?"
“………”
"Definitely not, I swear!"
I was shocked by her words and thought to myself that it was better not to misunderstand, so I quickly asked for it. The Qiuyan laughed out loud and patted me on the shoulder and said, "I'm lying to you, go up quickly, I'm going back to class."
After saying that, he pulled me into the hotel and turned back. The boss lady at the counter had already gotten up. Seeing us rushing in, she couldn't help but smile helplessly at us, and then continued to bury her head to pack up her own things.
We went upstairs and I took her to my room, and then lit the fragrance when I entered the door. Qiuyan was eating fried dough sticks by the bed. The smell of the fragrance of requiem quickly spread in the room. She took a deep breath and said in surprise: "What? Why is it so good?"
"It is the fragrance of my hometown, which has the effect of dehumidifying and nourishing the spirit."
"Oh!" Qiuyan took a comfortable breath again, and then said with satisfaction: "You are quite good at enjoying it. By the way, what are you asking for?"
Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, I said, "I want to ask if it's the girl's home that died in Mingpan Lake. Do you know?"
"What are you asking about this?"
Qiu Yan said in confusion.
"That's right. The boss sent me to investigate the incident. Yesterday my partner was in charge of your school and I was in charge of the outside. After all, I'm not very easy to get into your college, right?"
"That's right. I didn't expect you to have such a powerful identity. I think about it." Qiu Yan put her chin on her face and thought for a long time before saying, "It should be on the other side of Dongshan, it seems to be Xiaohe Village."
"Dongshan? Is it far from here?"
"It's not too far. If you go by bus, it's about forty minutes, and then you can just transfer the bus. It's only two hours a day on one side. When I was the president of the Student Union, I went to her house."
"That's it, it seems I have to go and take a look."
"Go now?"
"Well, go early and finish it early"
I smiled and Qiuyan stood up in understanding and prepared to say goodbye to me, but when she left, she asked for the incense stick at the door and sent her into the door. Before leaving, she suddenly turned around and looked at me and said, "You haven't told me your name yet!"
"Mo Jiu, don't talk about Mo Jiu, September's Nine!"
"What a strange name. My real name is Shu Qiujia. Because I was born in early autumn, a swallow flew into my mother's room, so they all called me Qiuyan."
She smiled and nodded, signaling to know. After saying goodbye to her, Qiuyan went to the academy and I went to check out.
Since it took less than half an hour for her and I to go in and out, when I checked out, the boss's eyes made me blush. She even introduced me to the hospital with a meaningful look. It really didn't work. She had a friend who had a secret recipe.
I had to rest awkwardly, and finally got out of the hotel after finally checking in.
A ray of lightning flashed outside the sky, and the sparse rain suddenly increased again.
