C44 (2/2)
”What's the matter?”
Guan Rou softly said, ”There is something I want to ask you.”
The door slowly opened. An old man with a hunched back in a grey shirt and a walking stick in his hand opened the door.
Guan Rou showed her police ID. She then softly said, ”Hello, we are from the Municipal Police Department's Criminal Police.”
”Come in …” ”Take a seat.” The three of us entered the house. It was a bit dark inside, and the decorations were very simple and crude. Some of the furniture was already lacquered and looked to be quite old.
The old man poured three cups of water and placed it on the table. He then sat down on another chair and said with a deep voice, ”I wonder why comrade police officer is looking for me. I'm already so old, I haven't done anything illegal yet.”
”Don't worry, we're not here to capture you.”
Zhang Ziguo picked up the tea cup, took a sip of water and slowly asked, ”Comrades of the police, is there something you need me for?”
Guan Rou stretched out her hand and took out a photo. The picture was slightly yellow with a black-and-white photo on it.
”Do you know the girl in the photo?”
”This... You... How did you get this picture? ” When Zhang Ziguo saw the photo, his expression changed slightly, revealing a terrified expression.
Guan Rou narrowed her eyes and said coldly, ”Uncle Zhang, we already know about your past affairs.”
Zhang National recovered and quickly said, ”Why are you looking for me?”
I smiled and replied, ”It's nothing. It's just that this girl has turned into a ghost and wants to seek your revenge!”
”What …” ”Impossible!”
”You don't need me to tell you what you did yourself!”
With a somewhat panicky expression, Zhang National hurriedly said, ”Don't try this, don't use ghosts to scare me.”
”Screech …” The old fellow is pretty awesome, isn't he? ” I took out the Vajra Pestle from my backpack and slammed it on the table. ”Do you recognize this?”
The moment I took this magic tool out, Zhang Ziguo was scared silly.
”This... Where did you get this? ”
”Five Tombs … Are you familiar with it? ”There's a villa in front of the five graves. That villa is pretty well decorated.” Zhang National's forehead was covered in sweat as he said with a panicked expression, ”She …” Is she really here? ”
He promised in a low voice, ”Is this Zhang National crazy?”
”I think he's just pretending to be crazy!” A gloomy voice sounded from behind us. I turned around and saw Mu Hua's ghost at the entrance. ”Mu Hua!”
”Zhang National... Your time of death has come! ”
Zhang Ziguo's face instantly turned deathly white. Before he could say anything, Mu Hua flashed and grabbed him by the neck.
”Goo...” No... It's not me who wants to kill you. ”
”Who else could it be other than you!” Guan Rou was so scared that she hastily took out her handgun. I reached into my backpack and took out the Vajra Pestle. ”Mu Hua, release him. Otherwise, I'll take you in!”
”You want to capture me with such little cultivation experience?!” A strong wind suddenly blew from Mu Hua's body. His eyes turned red and he casually waved the table towards me, sending it flying into the air.
I hastily threw Guan Rou and the promise onto the ground. Following which, a gust of cold wind blew in the room. By the time I stood up, Mu Hua and Zhang Ziguo had already disappeared.
”This is bad …” ”Quickly chase!” I opened the door and hurried out. However, the two of them had already disappeared. Guan Rou had also chased after them with her promise.
”She ran away?”
”She has already run away. I underestimated her.”
”Then what should we do?”
I helplessly said, ”Let's head back first. If she captures Zhang Nong, she will definitely kill him.”
The three of us walked out of the residential building and returned to the car. I looked at the time and saw that it was already very late.
”Let's go eat something.”
”Sure, I happen to be hungry too.”
