My master is the coffin

Chapter 56 West Mountain Village

When Xiao Wang was handling the case, he was very imposing. He didn't expect a ghost lady to frighten him so much that he couldn't stand up.

Wushuang looked at Xiao Wang, then at me, and patted my shoulder with a smile on his face: "It's not easy, I finally found someone who is more timid than you."

I was so choked by this sentence that I couldn't help but stare: "How are you talking?"

Wushuang shook the mahogany sword in his hand: "What? Want to fight?"

I waved my hand helplessly: "I'm too lazy to talk to you."

I said to the startled Xiao Wang, "Don't be afraid, that ghost has already escaped."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wang became even more anxious when he heard this: "Run away? What should we do? It has suffered such a big loss here, is it still willing to come? What if it comes and hurts people again?"

I thought for a while and said, "The proprietress of the hotel seems to know this female ghost, it's time to interrogate her, eh? Where is the proprietress? There's such a big commotion, why doesn't she come to come and see?"

Xiao Wang said, "Didn't you say don't let me disturb her? I knocked her out."

Wushuang and I couldn't help sighing: "If you put the courage you have in dealing with people with dealing with ghosts, will you be so frightened that your legs will go limp?"

When the three of us found the proprietress, she was still lying softly on the chair.

I was about to wake up the proprietress, but Wushuang reached out and stopped me: "Wait a minute, tell me, since the proprietress knows the ghost lady, does she know that the ghost lady is a ghost?"

I looked at Wushuang hesitantly: "Does it matter?"

Wushuang's expression was a little serious: "If she knows that the ghost lady is a ghost, I'm worried, she may have some skills, and we make her anxious. If the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, can we beat her?"

I nodded: "You're right. I'll go find a rope and tie her up."

Since the murder case happened here yesterday, the business of the hotel has plummeted.In fact, all the tenants here have run away. In the whole house, only the fat man at the end of the corridor just got off the car. He is not familiar with the place, so he just came here to stay.

The scene of the ghost lady just now frightened the fat man. He had already packed his luggage and planned to come to the front desk to check out, but he saw the three of us tying up the proprietress.He didn't even dare to get close at all, and slipped away tremblingly against the wall.

That's fine, there are only three of us left in the house.Once the door is closed, you can do whatever you want.

Wushuang put the mahogany sword around the proprietress's neck and woke her up.

The proprietress opened her eyes in a daze, saw the posture of the three of us, pulled her neck and started shouting: "Help, kidnapping..."

Wushuang's mahogany sword sharpened back and forth on her neck: "If you want to make an opening here, just keep shouting."

Now the lady boss shut up.

I walked up to her slowly and asked her, "What does that ghost have to do with you today?"

The proprietress looked blank: "What the hell?"

I sneered: "Why are you pretending to be stupid? Aren't you a pimp?"

The proprietress yelled, "I'm not a pimp. I run a hotel for the convenience of tourists, and all I do is serious business."

I pointed to Xiao Wang: "Don't talk about it, the police have seen it."

The proprietress panicked immediately, rolled her eyes twice, and after a while lowered her head and said: "Her name is Xiaoyu. She is from my hometown, but I didn't force her, she voluntarily, and she took the initiative." If you ask me, I will provide her with a venue for the sake of my fellow villager, so I only charge [-]% of the venue fee..."

Judging by what the proprietress meant, it seemed that she didn't know that the ghost lady was a ghost.So I asked her, "You don't feel anything wrong? How did she come to ask you?"

The proprietress thought for a while: "I'm from Xishan Village. When I was young, I came to Xi'an to make a living. I took over this store and opened a hotel here. A few days ago, Xiaoyu suddenly came to my store. She said that someone in the family was sick and wanted to stay in Xi'an. Earn some money in the city. But she has neither education nor skills, and she can't earn money after working hard for a few days. But the family is very urgent, so she calculated the total and planned to pick up guests at my place. I also hesitated at the time, but after thinking about it, I could collect venue fees and earn repeat customers, so I agreed."

Speaking of this, the proprietress glanced at Xiao Wang: "Is my confession considered lenient? Can you reduce my sentence for a few years?"

Xiao Wang nodded: "Go ahead."

The proprietress agreed, and said: "I didn't expect that, this little girl didn't know what happened, and she died the first time she picked up a customer. I sent her back to her hometown as soon as possible, and let her go to avoid the limelight. Comrade police, kill me." It's not my fault for the dead."

Xiao Wang said impatiently: "First explain your situation clearly."

The proprietress agreed, and then said: "You probably know what happened later. Xiaoyu hid for a day and came back at night. I wanted to drive her away, but I felt sorry for her. After all, there are patients in the family. So let her go to the topmost room... eh? Why am I the only one tied up here? Did Xiaoyu run away?"

I looked at Wushuang and Xiao Wang: "It seems that she doesn't know yet."

The proprietress was nervous: "What don't you know?"

Xiao Wang took out his mobile phone: "Call your hometown and ask about Xiaoyu's situation."

The proprietress struggled to take it, with a flattering smile on her face: "I understand, I understand, exposing the accomplice can reduce the sentence, right? Let me ask you, if Xiaoyu escapes back, we will catch her."

The proprietress dialed a number and spoke a few words to the other party in a loud voice. The words were all in dialect.

After talking for 2 minutes, the proprietress suddenly opened her eyes and shouted, "What?"

I glanced at Wushuang: "That's the point."

A few seconds later, the proprietress yelled twice, her face turned pale suddenly, and the phone fell to the ground with a bang.If it wasn't for the ropes, she probably fell to the ground.

Although I already knew the result, I still asked: "What's wrong?"

The proprietress looked at me with a dead face: "They said that Xiaoyu has been dead for more than a month."

Wushuang and I nodded: "What you saw these two days is a ghost."

After hearing this, the proprietress fainted from fright.

Wushuang shook his head: "It's a bit strange that a ghost who has been dead for a month knows how to suck people's souls. I guess it's not that simple."

I looked at Xiao Wang: "Should we go to see the proprietress's hometown?"

Xiao Wang nodded.

We woke up the proprietress and asked her, "How long does it take from Xi'an to your hometown?"

The proprietress thought for a while: "It's only two hours by car."

Xiao Wang waved his hand tiredly: "Take us there."

The proprietress asked nervously: "Now? This is a black light."

I untied the proprietress' rope: "I don't want your hotel to be haunted every day, so hurry up and take us there."

As soon as she heard the ghost, the proprietress obviously became nervous, she nodded repeatedly and agreed to lead the way.

We hailed a taxi.Drive fast in the night.

The village driver mentioned by the proprietress had never heard of it, so she was directing east and west along the way.The taxi gradually went out of the urban area, getting more and more remote, and eventually even went up the Panshan Road.

At this time, the driver became a little restless. Sometimes he said that there was not enough fuel, and sometimes he said that the baby at home should be breastfed.

We have already guessed the driver's mind.Xiao Wang stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Master, what are you afraid of? I am the police."

It was fine if Xiao Wang didn’t say this, but when he said this, the driver became even more frightened, and said palely, “Comrade police, why don’t you drive a police car when handling cases.” There was distrust in his tone, I guess he was I thought, this group of people even dared to pretend to be the police, so they might have committed a serious crime.

The road was bumpy, and by the moonlight, I saw an undulating shadow in the distance, like a village, and the proprietress finally said: "Here we are."

The driver parked the taxi at the entrance of the village, Xiao Wang took out the money to pay the bill, and then said to the driver: "Master, you wait for us here for a while, and we will take your car when we leave later."

The driver was obedient and promised again and again.

However, just as we got out of the car, the driver suddenly turned around, stepped up the accelerator and fled.

Xiao Wang smiled wryly: "This kid has run away, how can we go back to Xi'an?"

The proprietress had a flattering expression on her face: "There is a donkey cart in the village, let's go by cart when we leave."

Urged by Wushuang and I, the proprietress led us into the village.

It is already late at night, and the village is dark and quiet.Occasionally, a dog who was awakened by our footsteps barked twice in dissatisfaction.Other than that, there was no other sound.

The lady proprietress walked up to a family, reached out and patted on the courtyard door.

Then, I saw the lights in the house come on, and judging by the light, it should be an electric light.I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, at least this village has electricity, and it is a little more modern than I thought.

Someone inside asked in a rough voice.

Then the proprietress agreed.

Immediately afterwards, the courtyard door opened.A man came out, with a dark complexion and an unshaven beard, and his exact age was not clear.

The two men said a few words with excitement, and then let us in.

After we walked into the house, the proprietress pointed at the man and said, "This is my younger brother, Li Hong."

We nodded to Li Hong.

Li Hong looked at the three of us suspiciously, turned his eyes on Xiao Wang, and then asked the proprietress with a very bad expression. I have heard a lot of their dialects, and I can basically recognize that he is complaining. The proprietress committed a crime outside, and the police were called in, which hurt her relatives.

The proprietress was also angry: "I came back this time to find Xiaoyu."

Li Hong was a little impatient: "Didn't I tell you? Xiaoyu died last month."

The landlady shouted at him: "I saw her a few hours ago. What about that?"
