Chapter 23 (2/2)

But what's wrong with it? Because of the lack of key information, it can't be connected all the time.

When he thought about it in his heart, the three of them had already arrived at the 10th floor of the third building. As soon as the elevator door was opened, a young girl rushed in, her eyes red and her fingers poking the buttons on the first floor.

Jiang Jiu came out of the elevator and realized that the girl just now was Tao Liu, the daughter of Tan Zhi.

Looking at Tao Liu's expression, he seems to have run away from home after a quarrel.

Jiang Jiu was puzzled, so he went to Tan Zhi's house and rang the doorbell.

When the doorbell rang four or five times, I heard Tan Zhi's cursing voice, mixed with a dull cough.

”You're a dead girl. If you have the ability to go, how can you come back?”

It was Tan Zhi who came to open the door. Her hair was yellow and curly. Her face was abnormal waxy yellow. When she spoke, her mouth was filled with a faint smell.

She saw the door is not her daughter, Leng for a while, scolded two will close the door.

Jiang Shu jammed the door in time, and smelled the strong smell of fire behind the door.

He immediately narrowed his eyes and said, ”aunt Tan, we met this morning.”

Tan Zhi glared at him fiercely: ”let go, why didn't the female ghost eat you?”

As she spoke, her mouth opened and closed. At the tip of Jiang's eyes, he saw the mycelium sticking out of her mouth. The dark red mycelium extended from her throat and attached to her tongue, as if to replace her tongue.

”Have you ever seen a ghost in a well? She came to you? ” Jiang Shu asked suddenly.

Suddenly he asked, Tan Zhi's eyeball trembled, and then he screamed abuse. Her dialect is fast. Although she can't understand it, she wants to know that her words are dirty.

She's like a dirty sprayer with no feelings. Her mouth opens and closes quickly, spits out ugly words continuously, and doesn't even breathe.

Jiang Jiu saw her chest undulating violently, as if she would faint at any time because of lack of oxygen.

But she didn't faint in the end. After scolding, she seemed to have nothing happened and wanted to close the door.

Jiang Jiu, of course, would not let her do what she wanted. He continued to hold the door and threw out another bait: ”do you realize that something is wrong with you? But you can't send her away when you burn paper at home. I have a way

Tan Zhi's eyes did move. She seemed to want to say something, but what she said was a string of dirty words.

Standing at the door, they saw that she was pinching her throat in pain and coughing. She bent down and pinched her throat a few times. Then she stood up straight and said, ”you come in first.”

They went in with kindness.

What Jiang Shu smelled at the door was right. There were white candles on the balcony and a copper basin with black ashes inside.

”Are you worshiping Chen ruomei?”

Tan Zhi's steps stopped and did not speak, only nodded faintly.

Then he said, ”what can you do?”

Looking at her anxious and frightened look, she was obviously aware of her own situation.

But all this shows that Chen ruomei's death is not simple. Clearly is Tan Zhi three people saved Chen ruomei, even if the person didn't save back, she also didn't need to be afraid to become like this. When I think about what she said to herself during the day, I obviously feel that she has become like this. It's Chen ruomei's ghost who haunts her.

Instead of answering her immediately, Jiang said, ”first, tell me how Chen ruomei died.”

Tan Zhi looked at him in surprise, and seemed to think of something. She pinched her hands and said, ”she fell to death by herself.”

”I can't help you if you don't tell the truth.”

Jiang Shu's face was cold. Although he was easy to talk, he didn't laugh at everyone. Especially when he has a guess in his mind, just waiting to be proved.

He got up and asked Chen Hua for another exorcism talisman. He lit the talisman paper and threw it into the water. Holding the cup of talisman water, he said to Tan Zhi, ”this cup of talisman water can cure your strange disease. Do you want to know whether you want to tell the truth?”

Tan Zhi's expression suddenly changed. Her mouth opened and closed. The red ghost umbrella in her throat stretched out dense hyphae, but she didn't feel it.

”She won't tell you, I'll tell you.”

A gentle woman's voice suddenly appeared.

This voice is very gentle, which is inversely proportional to Tan Zhi's sharp and high pitched voice.

Jiang Jiu even guessed that this voice was Tan Zhi's original voice.

Seeing that Jiang Jiu didn't answer, ”Tan Zhi” opened her mouth again. Her mouth was full of dark red hyphae, and even red ghost umbrellas were growing crazily. The smooth cap was the size of a dollar coin.

Her mouth has been blocked by bacteria, and her eyes turn in horror, but she can only open her mouth so strangely. Instead of her tongue, the mycelium in her mouth wriggled and imitated the movement of her tongue, making a sound: ”I tell you the truth, don't interfere in this matter, OK?”

Jiang said, ”I'll listen to it first. It's not your has the final say to intervene. Anyway, you can't beat me... People. ”

In the end, he turned a corner and changed ”can't beat me” to ”can't beat us”.

He also looked back at Ying Qiao with a guilty heart.

Ying Qiao thought that he was afraid after he said that. He pushed Chen Hua behind his back and asked him to rush out in front of them. Then he pulled Jiang Jiu to his side and said in a low voice, ”don't be afraid.”

Jiang Shu?

I'm not afraid.

He looked up at Ying Qiao, but saw that he was hiding behind boss Chen, and suddenly he was blessed.

It turned out that he was afraid.

In fact, the red ghost umbrella looks disgusting and weird. Jiang Jiu doesn't think it's terrible. But that's because I'm a glutton.

And Ying Qiao is just an ordinary snake demon. He is afraid and embarrassed to show it.

Jiang Jiu suddenly gave birth to a desire to protect. He leaned back to Ying Qiao, took his hand back and comforted him in a low voice: ”it's not afraid. It's very weak.”

Ying Qiao looks at the little monster who says ”not afraid” but leans over honestly, just like a cub who takes the initiative to seek shelter.

His eyes were soft, and he didn't expose the monster's small self-esteem, so he had to cooperate and said, ”well, we're not afraid.”

Chen Hua, who was pushed to the front, was caught off guard:???

What are you talking about hiding behind??

Red ghost umbrella probably didn't expect that Jiang Jiu was so uncooperative. The entangled mycelium stretched from his mouth and defiantly pointed at them: ”since we can't get along with each other, there's no need to continue.”

Finish saying dark red hyphae suddenly dissipated, into a burst of red fog.

Tan Zhi, who has regained control of her body, is almost freaked out. She pinches her neck with her hands, and her fingers keep clasping her throat, making bouts of retching.

Chen Hua had no pity for her. She looked at her coldly and said, ”if you don't say it, we'll go to Xu Meifang and Xie Guizhen. Someone will be willing to say it.”

”Xu Meifang won't say that.”

Tan Zhi raised her head abruptly. Her eyes turned red because of retching, and her mouth was stained with mycelium and dark red mucus, which were forced to vomit. She looked a little shocking.

She laughed nervously: ”Chen ruomei was pushed into the well by her. That's killing people! How dare she say it? ”

Just now the conscious feeling of being controlled seemed to drive her crazy. Tan Zhi rushed up to grab the bowl of Fu Shui: ”give me Fu Shui first, I'll tell you everything.”

Chen Hua thought it over for a while, spilled half of the Fu Shui, and handed her the remaining half bowl: ”these quantities can only make you comfortable, but they can't completely clean up the things in your body. You'd better tell the truth. ”

Tan Zhi rushed up to grab the bowl, and the wolf drank it.

She went to the bathroom and vomited for a long time before she came out. Although her face was pale, there was a sick smile on her lips after liberation.

She told them the story of Chen ruomei's death from the beginning.

On the day of Chen ruomei's death, the three of them had just returned home from the square dance. It's just that they didn't go to rescue Chen ruomei when they heard her cry for help, as they told the police. But they happened to have a conflict with Chen ruomei at the gate of the community.

To be more precise, it was Xu Meifang and Chen ruomei who clashed.

Xu Meifang and Chen ruomei live in the same building. Chen ruomei is young and good-looking. She is also a new resident, so she is easy to get attention. Xu Meifang is the best matchmaker. She happens to have a nephew who is not married. When she sees that Chen ruomei is always alone and seems to be single, she moves her mind and chats with Chen ruomei from time to time.

When they got familiar with each other, they took the opportunity to introduce them. Chen ruomei naturally refused. She said she didn't want to find a partner for the time being.

But Xu Meifang has a lot of thoughts. She thinks that Chen ruomei looks down on her nephew because she is good-looking and wants to find a rich man to climb high. She complained to them about it several times.

Just once again, a middle-aged man driving a BMW was looking for Chen ruomei at the gate of the community. As a result, he asked Xu Meifang. Xu Meifang had always thought that Chen ruomei's work was not right when she went out at night and came back in the early morning. At that time, she was more sure that the other party's work was not serious. She was not sitting outside, but also a lover for middle-aged rich businessmen.

Her mouth is broken, and she has a grudge against Chen ruomei. When she chatted, she hinted that Chen ruomei was a stage lady in a bar.

Everyone was dubious about this, but it didn't take long for Chen ruomei to take the man home. As a result, she fell out and told the police that she was raped. But Xu Meifang lived in the same building with her. Afterwards, she turned black and white and depicted the scene as having nose and eyes, which led many people to believe that Chen ruomei was the lady sitting on the stage. Occasionally, when I meet Chen ruomei in the community, I walk around her for fear that she has a dirty disease.

Chen ruomei has no relatives here, so naturally no one told her these rumors. She said that she was a young lady in Fangdong. When she wanted to give her a refund, she realized that it was wrong.

It's not easy to persuade the landlord to agree with her to find a new house to move. On her way to work, she bumps into Xu Meifang, who is talking about her falling out with ”clients” and calling the police.

She is silent and unsociable. But it's not weakness. Otherwise, when forced and raped, they will not insist on leaving evidence to report to the police.

Being so slandered and rumored, she naturally came forward to theorize.

But Xu Meifang is also a sharp mouthed shrewd person. During their argument, Xu Meifang can't help but push her hand. When Tan Zhi and Xie Guizhen see that she touches her hand, they naturally want to go to the tug of war. When the four of them push me, they don't notice the missing manhole in the rear.

Chen ruomei was pushed down by Xu Meifang.

The entrance of the residential area is dark, and the inspection well is dark. It should be several meters deep. When someone falls down, it makes a dull sound. Chen ruomei didn't move at that time.

Three people this just flustered, the person is Xu Meifang push, she realizes that she may have killed a person.

Their first reaction is that they want to run. Not only are the street lights broken in the old residential area, but there is no monitoring in this area. If they run, they may not be caught.

But when they hesitated to leave, Chen ruomei in the well woke up and began to call for help faintly. It's just that there's more air in and less air out.

Tan Zhi and Xie Guizhen originally wanted to call the police, but Xu Meifang refused at all. They also used the money they owed themselves and their accomplices to go to prison as a threat. The flustered two finally managed to get Chen ruomei up under the command of Xu Meifang.

When Chen ruomei fell, she bumped her head and pulled up blood all over her face. After a while, she died.

Originally, Xu Meifang wanted to get people up and give them money. But looking at Chen ruomei, who just died, she suddenly came up with a bold idea

She made a confession with Tan Zhi and Xie Guizhen, took the initiative to beat 120, and then called the police, pretending to be a good Samaritan passing by to cover up the incident.

There were no pedestrians, no surveillance, and the autopsy report of Chen ruomei also showed that she was killed by falling on her head. And the three of them did come home after the square dance, and they had no old grudge with Chen ruomei... So they even cheated the police. From a murderer and accomplice, he became a good citizen who did what was right.

The three became grasshoppers on the same rope. They all clenched their teeth and didn't leak a word.

No one knows that Chen ruomei's death is related to them except when she dreams back at midnight.

If it wasn't for the strange things that happened one after another, Tan Zhi would never have said it in his life.

She twisted her face and looked at Chen Hua: ”I've told you what I know, you give me the rest of the rune water!”

Chen Hua looks at her with disgust. Although he doesn't discriminate against human beings, he has to say that people's hearts are so vicious that they can't even compete with demons,

He deliberately said: ”in fact, I lied to you just now. I have only one Rune left.”

Tan Zhi's eyes widened incredulously. His eyes almost jumped out of his eyes. He said hysterically: ”impossible! Aren't you masters? Please save me. I didn't kill people. There is a head of injustice and a master of debt. If you want to die, it's Xu Meifang who should die! I didn't kill anyone

”You didn't kill, but you're an accomplice.”

Jiang Jiu should have been angry, but looking at Tan Zhi, who is still shirking his responsibility, strangely, he has no anger, leaving only cold disgust.

”We're not masters, we're state functionaries,” Jiang said, showing her the street office's work card. ”I've recorded what you just said. Are you going to turn yourself in or do you want me to report you to the police station?”

Tan Zhidai looked at the work permit.

Jiang said: ”in fact, the rune water just now is fake. It's deceiving you. Those things are still in your throat. I don't believe you can feel them for yourself. ”

As expected, Tan Zhi grabbed his throat in panic.

Jiang Jiu didn't say that she didn't feel it. Now that she said that, she felt very itchy in her throat, just like those disgusting things grew out of her throat again.

She jerked back into the bathroom, picking her throat and vomiting again.

……

Jiang Shu calls Wang Qing to explain the situation of Tan Zhi, but Wang Qing says, ”Xu Meifang is dead.”

Xu Meifang committed suicide. This morning, while her husband was going out to work, she stabbed herself in the throat with a fruit knife.

Her two children are at school. Her husband works overtime at night and just came home not long ago. When Wang Qing and Wang Qing came to the door, he was trying to open the door which was locked by his wife.

After Wang Qing showed his certificate that he wanted to find Xu Meifang to understand the situation, he had no choice but to explain the situation. Wang Qing and Zhao Heng help to open the door, only to find Xu Meifang dead in his own bed.

The time of her death was no more than 24 hours, but her body had already sent out a stench. The oxidized blood turned black red and solidified on the bed like a blood clot. The wet wadding seemed to be a hotbed, giving birth to clusters of dark red miniature red umbrellas.

It was weird and frightening.

Xu Meifang's husband fainted on the spot. Wang Qing and Zhao Heng immediately sent people to seal the scene and send Xu Meifang's body for autopsy.

Jiang Shu can only send Tan Zhi's recording to him first and let him listen to it. Although this recording could not be used as evidence in court, Jiang still kept one.

At this time, Tan Zhi has come out of the bathroom. She also heard what Jiang Jiu said just now.

Her eyes a little dull to repeat: ”Xu Meifang died?”

”Dead.” Jiang Jiu had no pity for her, and even asked maliciously, ”who do you think will be next? You? Or Xie Guizhen? ”

Tan Zhi's body trembled, and his whole body fell to the ground.

Finally, Jiang said to her, ”if you turn yourself in now, you may be able to save your life.”

After that, none of them paid any attention to Tan Zhi and left the tan family.

After going downstairs, there were two police cars in the community. The police were busy blocking the scene, and many residents who heard the news gathered around to watch.

The crowd did not see Wang Qing and Zhao Heng, should be still upstairs did not come down.

Jiang Jiu looked up and saw a window covered with a thin red fog. The spores floated and did not disperse, as if looking for more parasites.

Ying Qiao patted him on the shoulder and said, ”go to the car first. I'm busy here for a while.”

Jiang Jiu nodded and sighed, looking down.

It looks like the helpless cub who first saw the darkness of the human heart.

Ying Qiao thought that he was so close to human beings that he would be very disappointed when he met this kind of thing, so he raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of his hair to comfort him: ”human nature is evil. There are too many things like this. If you see too many things, you won't feel disappointed.”

”No

Who knows, Jiang Jiu shakes his head and seriously refutes him: ”I'm not disappointed. Except for people like Tan Zhi, there are always more good people. I just think Chen ruomei is not worth it. She is a good girl. ”

He was never disappointed with the darkness in the hearts of the villains. He just felt sorry for the death of Chen ruomei.

These people's evil, destroyed a girl who should have a good life, destroyed a hard support family.

Chen Hua shrugs and thinks that this goblin is really interesting. He is really sad for a human being. That expression sad, even he can't help but follow comfort: ”people have their own lives, although the purpose of red ghost umbrella is not pure, but she also considered revenge for herself.”

His words awakened Jiang Jiu.

”You are right. Xu Meifang is dead, but Tan Zhi and Xie Guizhen are still alive. They are both accomplices and should be punished by law. And those rumors should also be refuted by the police. ”

He regained his spirits and said, ”I have to find Wang Qing.”

Ying Qiao takes a look at the sprite inspired by a sentence, and then at Chen Hua

Take another look at Chen Hua.

Ying Qiao

You shouldn't have taken him.

The old father suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Long long: don't be afraid. I'll protect you.

Greedy: No, I'll protect you.

Dragon & greedy: Well, we're not afraid.

Chen Hua:???

Mom, you have no heart.
