Chapter 58 The Strange Photo
Wu Song raised the knife and gave a heavy cut, then Han Zaishi became a female ghost without a head, and knelt in front of Wu Song.
And there came out of gout of blood from her severed neck.
That blood was only a shadow at the beginning, but later, it penetrated the wall and became an entity that reflected Feng Chunsheng’s and my faces.
That blood gave off a vile stench.
I wiped it off with my sleeves.
After that, the female ghost, Han Zaishi, also disappeared.
Wu Song was still in the wall. He folded his hands and said: “Now the female ghost is dead and the baby ghost is dead, too, so just take care of yourself. Goodbye.”
Later, Wu Song’s shadow became a streak of black smoke, and went back inside the ghost tattoo on Ruan Qinse’s forehead.
Ruan Qinse woke up suddenly. Her first words were: “Is that female ghost dead now?”
I pointed at her belly and said: “Check it and you’ll know.”
Ruan Qinse lowered her head quickly and found that her belly became flat, it became a normal woman’s belly after six months. She jumped and shouted again and again, ”The female ghost died!” Then sat down in a rattan chair and cried out on the desk.
I patted her on the shoulder and told her: “Sister, don’t be sad. That baby was not yours, it was a ghost baby.”
Ruan Qinse wiped her tears with the back of her hand, saying: “Mr. Yu, I was crying not for that baby ghost, but for the words from the Feng Shui expert. He told me I would never get pregnant.”
Then she asked me again: “Do I really have no chance to get pregnant?”
“No.” I didn’t want to cheat her and said, pointing at Feng Chunsheng: “He also found that you have that physiognomy where you could never get pregnant all your life.”
“What?” Ruan Qinse was stunned and burst into tears again.
Feng Chunsheng said: “Mrs. Ruan, you don’t need to worry about that, since the Feng Shui and fate can be changed.”
“Changed?” Ruan Qinse looked at Feng Chunsheng.
Feng Chunsheng took out a piece of paper and a pen. He wrote down a name and an address, then gave it to her: “Just go and find this person… He has the solution.”
Ruan Qinse took the paper and couldn’t help but say: “The dragon-searching master, the Wind Shadow? He is living in Sanlitun, Beijing?”
“There are not many Feng Shui experts who are more excellent than him,” Feng Chunsheng told Ruan Qinse: “It is easy but also hard to change fate. Anyway, you just go and turn to him, he will have the solution.”
“All right.”
Ruan Qinse thanked us.
To show her appreciation, she transferred an extra fifty thousand as a tip.
Now that it was finished, I had to erase the ghost tattoo for her.
That ghost tattoo was a certain kind of soul which belonged to the Yin tattoos. It would cause problem if it stayed on a human’s body for a long time.
Therefore, it was also the rule to wipe away the ghost tattoo when everything was finished.
I told Ruan Qinse to sit on the chair, then I sprayed some detergent and began to wipe the tattoo.
As I wiped away each part, I had to say: “Thanks for your help today, Mr. Xu.”
It was also the rule that the tattoo master should show his appreciation when the ghost tattoo helped.
The more sincerity the master showed, the more elegant the firm soul would be.
This was also the reason Liu the Sixth sold it to me at a low price. He knew I would let Xu Yi leave with such elegance.
I showed my appreciation twelve times as I wiped the tattoo away.
When we removed the tattoo completely, a man came to us.
This man was tall, with a dignified appearance. He spoke to Feng Chunsheng and me: “I am very thankful for the sincerity you have shown.”
This man was Xu Yi’s soul.
I nodded and said to him: “Brother Xu Yi, we will always remember you for all that you have done for us at the cost of your life.”
Xu Yi was killed by a criminal in a shootout.
He smiled to me and said: “Thank you.”
Then, he said: “Shui, I must ask you a favor.”
“Please.” I raised my hand and said.
Xu Yi said: “The first day when I became a narcotics detective, I was ready to die, and l never regretted it. Since I am dead now, I would still like to be a narcotics detective in my next life, if possible.”
“You are a great man.” I gave him a thumbs up.
Then he continued: “I was a common person. Now I’m dead, but there is something that has been always on my mind, so please tell my son and my wife… that I have already reincarnated and live well, so just let them not worry about me.”
Damn… Xu Yi was such a responsible person, but he would never know his wife left him and stayed with another man, and she also left their son and eloped with the one hundred and fifty thousand.
He would never even know his wife was in love with another man on the day he was killed.
But I wouldn’t tell him the truth, because I didn’t want to leave him any resentment for his life, so I told him: “Ok, I heard from Liu the Sixth that… you son studies well and you wife is teaching him well.”
“That’s good.” As Xun Yi talked with me, he sniffed and said: ”It seems my wife’s sprit is here.
