Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 18 The Evil God's Tribute (18)
The dagger seemed to have a magical power, which made him suddenly recall many memories hidden in his mind. He finally remembered his wife's daily behavior. He finally understood why a "ghost" wife needed money. The sad thing is that he... finally knew that he was the ghost, because his body was colder than a dagger.He looked at the gleaming dagger stuck in his heart without moving, and then looked at Xiao Yao.The woman who was scraping the bark, Teacher Tang stood up slowly, and looked at her silently. After some time, Xiao Yao finally scraped off the bark, but when she turned around and was about to come back, she suddenly froze , because she saw the "husband" with a dagger in his heart.

Teacher Tang pointed to his heart and said, "You should have known it a long time ago, why did you keep it from me?"

Xiao Yao's expression seemed to be a little unnatural, and she said, "I, I'm doing this for your own good. I don't want you to know the fact that I'm a ghost. Brother Tang, do you doubt me?"

Teacher Tang sighed softly and said, "Really, do you really think so?"

Xiao Yao said: "Why don't I think so. Brother Tang, don't you understand me after living with me for so long?"

Teacher Tang shook his head and said, "I always thought I knew you very well, but today I realized that I don't even know myself, so how can I know others?"

Beads of sweat gradually oozed from Xiao Yao's forehead, she said, "Brother Tang, don't say that, isn't it good that we are like this?"

Teacher Tang said: "Really, it's really good? Are you referring to the two of us?" At this time, Teacher Tang's eyes were getting darker and darker, and gradually the whites of the eyes disappeared completely, and his body began to grow taller, and his hands and face began to shrink. There has been a change.Xiao Yao screamed, turned around and ran away, only to hear a "pop", a row of white bony spurs appeared on Teacher Tang's back, at this time "he" had completely changed his appearance, immediately climbed on all fours, and chased after him .

The difference in speed between the two was too great. After a while, "Teacher Tang" was gradually catching up with Xiao Yao. Just when they were still a step away, an arrow shot from the woods, and "Teacher Tang" was caught unexpectedly. Fall sideways.Seeing the four people standing on the edge of the woods, Xiaoyao immediately screamed and ran towards us. "Teacher Tang" stopped after rolling a few times, and gradually recovered his adult appearance. He stood up and looked at us.

He Zhuang drew another arrow and pointed it at it, and Xiao Yao said without any tenderness at this moment: "Shoot him quickly, he is not human at all, those little girls who hanged themselves at home were all killed by him."

Head Chen looked at her and said, "Since you know so much, why did you go so early?"

Xiao Yao was at a loss for words for a while, but she immediately said: "I was coerced by him, there is nothing I can do."

Head Chen sneered and said, "Grandma Yao, you can lie to others, but it might be difficult to lie to me. Don't tell me you have no responsibility for the whole thing... Or should you bear all the responsibilities?"

"Xiao Yao"'s expression gradually became serious after hearing this. Just as she was about to move her hand, Ma Tianxing raised his gun to her head and said, "It's better to be careful, you are not a god yet, you will die if you get shot .”

Teacher Tang strode over from a distance, and He Zhuang said, "You'd better not get too close."

Teacher Tang walked in with strides as if he didn't hear it. He Zhuang pulled the string and was about to release the arrow. Head Chen held his hand and said, "It's not necessary. Let's talk first."

He Zhuang put away his bow after listening to what Chen said. Teacher Tang approached and stared at Chen for a long time before saying, "Are you really Chen Qifa's grandson?"

Head Chen nodded and said, "That's for sure, Grandma Yao should have already confirmed it, right?"

The woman who seemed to be only in her 30s sighed and said, "Since I met you, then I have nothing to hide, but Xiao Chen, your grandfather told you all this?"

Head Chen said: "Yes, since my father started working, my grandfather is rarely at home. He always said to go to my grandma's house in Tianjin. Finally, I realized that he was cultivating immortals with you. But fortunately, he realized it early. Otherwise, I would be an old goblin like you, who is neither human nor ghost."

"Xiao Yao" said: "Yes, your grandfather is indeed a smart man, he got out quickly, but he also hurt us, you know?"

Head Chen said: "No one harms anyone. It's all your greed. You know you can't do it, but you want to be gods. How many people have you killed? Grandma Yao, the name of this recipe is called Guifu, isn't it? Can immortals use a ghost name? You really want to be gods and lose your head, and you can’t even think of such a simple reason." The woman stopped talking, and her expression seemed a little depressed.

Teacher Tang said: "Xiao Yao, I just want to ask you a question. You have used me for so many years?"

The woman said: "This has nothing to do with me, you are willing to come in."

Teacher Tang said: "Then can you tell me a little bit, how did you manage to control me for so long?"

Head Chen said: "The truth is not complicated. Since ghost charms are made by humans, there will naturally be a way to control ghosts. As long as you don't know it, it's fine. Anyway, you are the victim every time, and you can't kill ghosts." I don't know what they are practicing. Am I right, Grandma Yao?"

The woman smiled noncommittally and said: "If you want to know whether the ghost talisman was created by a human or a ghost, you will know the way to control the ghost, so people are really smart."

Head Chen said: "It's scary to be smart." Teacher Tang's expression became distorted. Obviously, even a ghost made him extremely angry at what happened to him. This is the only time in my life I have seen a "ghost." "The look of being angry, I really admire the means of human beings for this.

Head Chen said: "Don't be complacent, do you know why you haven't become a fairy after practicing for so long?"

Grandma Yao said, "Your grandfather doesn't know either, so don't fool me, kid."

Head Chen said: "I didn't lie to you, remember that box of matches?"

Grandma Yao's complexion changed: "You mean the box of matches recorded in the ghost charm?"

Head Chen said: "That's right, it's that box, do you know the reason behind it?"

Grandma Yao said: "I see, the ghost talisman says this is the key to another world, so it really exists."

Head Chen took out the mysterious box of matches from his pocket and said, "This is the box, I didn't expect it to be in my hands, right?"

Grandma Yao said, "I should have guessed it was your grandpa's fault."

Head Chen said: "Yes, after so many years, it should be returned to the original owner." After saying that, he threw it to Teacher Tang, and Grandma Yao's expression was more painful than cutting her flesh.

Head Chen said: "Grandma Yao, although you are an individual, you have killed many people, and you need an explanation for this anyway. I hope you can honestly go with us, otherwise we will not be polite."

Grandma Yao said: "Of course, it's better to die by your hands than by his hands."

Head Chen ignored her, and said to Teacher Tang: "I think you are also a victim of ghost charms, and you are not human. Our laws are invalid for you, but I hope you can go back to your own place, okay?" ?”

Teacher Tang stared at Grandma Yao for a long time with an extremely complicated expression, and finally sighed and nodded.Head Chen said: "Do you know how matches are lit? The sandpaper on both sides is already damp."

Teacher Tang said: "This is not sandpaper, it is human skin. This box of matches can only be rubbed on human skin."

Head Chen said: "So I still need to cut the meat for you?"

Teacher Tang said: "It's not necessary, it just needs to be ignited, and it doesn't have to be cut out separately."

Head Chen didn't speak, but stretched out his left hand. Teacher Tang took out a match and slid it on Head Chen's hand. There was a stabbing sound, the green light fluttered, and the match disappeared in an instant.

Head Chen said: "Grandma Yao, if you have no intention of using your abilities to resist, then everyone can go where they should go peacefully, and we guarantee your safety."

Grandma Yao said: "Do I still have a choice, but Xiao Chen didn't expect that I have practiced alchemy for decades, and finally fell into the hands of ordinary people like you for no reason."

Head Chen said: "At least you have learned how to beautify your face, there is no doubt about that."

Decrypt
After escorting her back to the police station, the task came to an end, and we sat at the head's house again, and he said: "This matter is a very complicated matter, and you may still not understand many details, so I will Let me explain it to you from the beginning, and ask again if you don’t understand.”

Everyone nodded, and head Chen said: "Actually, it all started when my father saw those five people in the mirror. They were the first group of people who were bewitched by ghost charms. Of course, the instigator of all this was a woman surnamed Yao. Teacher Tang is also the person who was buried alive. In fact, he is not a human being, but a ghost summoned to the world by a ghost named Yao. The backlash of this ghost keeps gaining the power of the ghost talisman cultivator in an attempt to become an immortal. My grandfather is one of those four people, and he is the only one who still remembers his conscience, so after the three people leave, he plans to I went to save the ghost, but found all this by mistake, and the surname Yao couldn't bring my grandfather into the scope of the real cultivator of ghost charms."

"However, what she didn't expect was that my grandfather accidentally struck a match and discovered that the so-called key was actually a door leading to ghosts, so he knew the truth about the ghost talisman, so he stole the box of matches and secretly handed it over to him. Gave it to my father.

My grandfather stole the box of matches, which is the key to the ghost charm, and he knew that this woman would never understand it for the rest of her life.But he was worried about the safety of his family, and kept watching her, which is why he always went to Tianjin to see my aunt throughout the year.Of course, this is what my father said. As for getting my father and me into this department, if he said he had selfish intentions, it was because he was afraid that we would be implicated. help us. "

"However, this idea came later. My grandfather didn't think about it so much before. He just asked my father to take over his criminal investigation work step by step. Later, the girl's bizarre suicide case made my grandfather have bad thoughts. Later, various circumstances showed that Yao was constantly tempting ordinary people to practice this evil method, and the girl's parents were one of them, but my father didn't know about it, but my grandfather knew about it, and finally saved my father."

"Yao didn't dare to offend my grandfather, because the two of them mastered the method of controlling ghosts. Later, my grandfather told everything to my father before he died, and my father told me. But since my grandfather After she passed away, she suddenly disappeared, until the case of Wang Wenna appeared, the first time I heard about it, I felt that it might be for me."

I said, "Why do you feel this way?"

Head Chen said: "Because I know that the method of cultivating ghost talismans must be practiced by the practitioners at the beginning to get twice the result with half the effort, but the one surnamed Yao is too impatient and constantly relies on his own companions to try to reach the sky in one step, but he doesn't know everything she does. Just the opposite of what she hoped, when she realized that those who practiced with her either died of old age or were killed by her, so she approached their family members, thinking it would be useful, the first little girl who died was a dancer, and the second The two who died were painters."

I suddenly realized: "No wonder you said at the beginning that among the four practitioners there are dance teachers and art practitioners, but I don't understand. If they do this, will future generations also do this?"

Head Chen said: "Of course they will not be in the same situation as my family, and the saddest thing is that these two artists are very artistic and have never been married in their life, so there is no mention of offspring. The one surnamed Yao He also went to the doctor in a hurry, and started looking for people with the same identity, so people are really scary, ghosts are just being used to harm people, and the surname Yao is actively harming people."

"Actually, I wasn't too sure at first, but after seeing Mr. Tang and his wife, everything became clear. Do you still remember that I told you that Mr. Tang has yin and yang eyes, because there is no image of his wife in his eyeballs? Only then did I know that the real ghost was him, because the eyes of ghosts don’t have any imaging. I came to the studio by myself that night and wanted to find out everything. Later, I found out that the surnamed Yao actually used the method of attracting ghosts in ghost charms. , attracted a group of ghosts, and prepared to confuse more people to come in and use it as a ladder for her to become a fairy, and I later learned that Teacher Tang planned to harm you, but He Zhuang scared him away."

Ma Tianxing patted He Zhuang on the shoulder and said, "You are not bad, even ghosts are afraid of you."

Head Chen said: "If you say it's scary, is there any one of you who is more terrifying than Yao?"

I suddenly had an idea and said: "I think Yao's name is also a tragedy. What is really scary is the owner of the ghost charm. He brought out the greedy traits of human nature to the extreme, making everyone, even the rich and powerful, dissatisfied. Those who still want to become immortals have become his sacrifices, I really don't know how he came up with this method."

Head Chen said: "Yes, I said earlier that the name of ghost talisman has already clearly told the world what it is, but people are dazzled by the tempting results one by one, knowing that there may be huge things in it. This is the greatest tragedy of human nature, unavoidable and unavoidable." After a pause, the head continued: "I even saw that Wang Wenna, who was killed and killed, also participated in it, so it can be seen Greed is actually a devil, and once this thought expands in the body, the final result is that a person becomes a ghost. I think maybe this is the real result of ghost talisman cultivation."

This is the scariest, weirdest and most complicated case we have ever experienced. It was only at this moment that I fully understood everything in it. I sighed. Of course, we are not thinkers or educators. We are not qualified to criticize anyone, but we should To criticize human nature, it is the evil thoughts in human nature that turn people into ghosts. This has been the case in the past, it is the case now, and it is bound to be the case in the future. We cannot deny the great sentiment, but we cannot avoid the shrinking character.

24. Negotiation

"Let them go and have a look first, and if Fatty Zou dares to fuck you, call me." Zhang Haotian yelled into the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Haotian's 20-year-old son Zhang Yu said: "I told you earlier, this bastard can't do without beating, you still don't believe me."

Zhang Haotian said angrily: "What's the matter with you, just stay and go."

His 24-year-old daughter said: "It's the second son, Dad is worried enough now, don't add fuel to the fire. We are doing business seriously, why do you always think about fighting and killing?"

Zhang Haotian said: "My head is muddled, learn more from your sister."

Zhang Yudao: "Whatever I say is wrong, what my sister says is right, that's fine, I won't say anything from now on."

Zhang Haotian said: "It's best if you don't talk."

Zhang Yu's complexion changed drastically, he got up and slammed the door away, Zhang Hao was so angry that he threw a teacup on the door, and after a crisp sound, the teacup shattered into several petals.Zhang Xuedao: "Dad, what are you doing? As for being so angry, can you pay attention to your body because of the high blood pressure that was only recently detected?"

When she was talking, a slender and handsome young man got up silently to clean up the garbage on the ground.Zhang Haotian sighed and said, "Miss, if you and Junzi hadn't given me advice all these years, I would have pissed off your brother to death."

The young man didn't raise his head, and said in a soft voice: "Godfather, Xiaoyu is still young now, and she has been a star in the moon since she was a child, and it will be better when she grows up. You must take care of your health now, the whole family is watching you .”

Zhang Haotian nodded and said: "Let's not talk about him anymore, girl, what do you think about this matter?"
