Several people sat down on the sofa in the living room. Two policemen sat on one side, Jiang Qing and Xue Meng sat on the side, and Zhao Qunfang sat alone on the single sofa. After the police took out the printed chat record, she seemed very uneasy. She was also sitting on the sofa with a cramped expression and her eyes were erratic.

The police asked her several questions according to the process, and she also answered them stumblingly and inconsistently.

Jiang Qing listened silently, and then he realized that just two days before May Day, someone died in the community. The deceased was Li Chunhua, who was 42 years old and lived in Building 1 of the community. Li Chunhua, like Zhao Qunfang, both divorced and lived alone. Li Chunhua worked as a cleaning staff in a building, while Zhao Qunfang worked as a cashier in the supermarket on the first floor of the building. Perhaps because of the similar situation and living close to each other, the two of them had a close relationship.

But on April 27, Li Chunhua suddenly died at home inexplicably. The body was discovered by Li Chunhua's boss who saw that she had not come to work and could not contact anyone, so he came to the door according to the address.

Li Chunhua died very calmly, with a strange smile on her face. After the police autopsy, the cause of the death was not found. The autopsy report showed that the deceased had no fatal injuries inside and outside, nor had a history of death, but the person died in such an unknown way.

And just in April, there were two other dead people, similar to Li Chunhua's death, all of which were unknown.

The police investigated Li Chunhua's interpersonal relationship and found that she had always had close contacts with Zhao Qunfang. But just a week before Li Chunhua's death, Zhao Qunfang suddenly quit her job as a cashier and no longer went in and out with Li Chunhua. The two only kept in touch on WeChat.

"On April 24th, Li Chunhua sent you a message saying, 'Sir, really appeared'. What does it mean?" the policeman asked, pointing to the chat record.

Zhao Qunfang lowered her head and clenched her hands on her knees unconsciously: "I, I don't know..."

Seeing that she did not cooperate, the police couldn't help but increase his tone and pressed step by step: "In the chat record, you replied to her 'I didn't lie to you, are you?' Do you really don't know, or do you want to hide the truth?"

Zhao Qunfang suddenly raised her head, her turbid eyes trembled uneasily. She swallowed nervously and changed her mouth: "I, I forgot... We both are a little superstitious. I met a very powerful master at that time and... introduced it to her, but I really don't know what she wants to do."

The policeman stared at her sharply, as if he wanted to penetrate her appearance and see the bottom of his heart.

"What master? How did you meet? Is your sudden resignation related to the master and Li Chunhua?"

"We call him Master Aoi, I don't know where he is. We... we met on the road," Zhao Qunfang spoke fluently: "I resigned because I bought a lottery ticket according to the master's instructions and won 150,000."

The two policemen looked at each other, obviously not expecting that they would win the lottery.

"How do you contact the master in your daily life?"

"There is no contact. When the master said he was looking for me, he would naturally find me." Zhao Qunfang shook his head, and when he mentioned the master, fear flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Xun listened next to him, and the more he listened, the more he felt that this master should be Tai Sui.

I just don’t know what the relationship between Zhao Qunfang and Tai Sui is. She had obviously called to report the jewelry store opened by Tai Sui.

Jiang Qing coughed, raised her hand and made a gesture of saying something: "Comrade Police, I have something to say."

Seeing the police coming over, he continued: "The street office received an anonymous report call from Ms. Zhao Qunfang on May 4, reporting that the Cultural Street 'wishes' jewelry store was a cult organization, and feudal superstitious activities harmed people."

Zhao Qunfang's body shook and suddenly screamed: "You are talking nonsense, I have never called me!"

She seemed to be stimulated and suddenly started yelling. No matter what the police said, she was unwilling to listen or communicate.

Seeing this, Jiang Veng pointed to her ear innocently: "I answered the phone at that time. My ears were very good and could recognize her voice. If the two comrades didn't believe it, they could go to our unit to get the call record out to verify. In addition to May 4th, she had made several reporting calls a few days ago. That year old master might be related to this jewelry store."

When the police heard this, they were a master and reported feudal superstition. Maybe some cult organization was bewitching people's hearts. Seeing that Zhao Qunfang was still pretending to be crazy, he immediately stood up and said, "We will verify the phone number and jewelry store first, and we will come to visit again after confirming it. I hope you can cooperate with the police to explain the situation truthfully."

After saying that, he said goodbye and left.

Jiang Luan and Xue Meng were one step behind. Zhao Qunfang cursed and glared at them viciously, and drove them out without hesitation.

As soon as the person left, she collapsed on the ground, her hands and feet trembled for a long time before she could barely get up and get on the sofa. As soon as she sat down, the phone next to her rang. She trembled suddenly and stared at the call in horror. The call interface was not a normal mobile phone number, but four four.

Zhao Qunfang's teeth were creaking, and after a while, he finally plucked up the courage and reached out to hang up the phone.

But soon the phone rang again. She stared in horror and hung up again. After three consecutive times, the call finally stopped, and then a text message came in with a ding-dong sound.

[Come to Tieqiao Bay at 11:30 tonight.]

*

After leaving Zhao Qunfang's house, two policemen asked for the street office address and went directly to retrieve the call record. Jiang Qing and Xue Meng had to continue collecting information, so they stayed to continue working.

The two of them were busy until 4:30 pm and drove back to work, just in time to clock in and get off work.

Jiang Qing packed up the table and asked the sling to jump into his bag, preparing to visit Mr. Yao at the Municipal People's Hospital first. Xue Meng happened to go along with him. The two of them sat in the back row of the bus. He seemed to have endured it and finally couldn't help but leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "Can those dead people make a wish to the statue in their dreams, right?"

He thought about this all the way. If he said that with Jiang Qing in the morning, he would still be a little skeptical about the matter of ghosts and gods. What he heard at Zhao Qunfang's house today made him confirm that half of his doubts.

Perhaps the dream is true, and the God of the Year is true.

In this world, there are really monsters and monsters hiding in the dark night.

Goosebumps crawled from his back to his face. Even when he sat on the crowded and stuffy bus, Xue Meng felt a chill all over.

Jiang Qing glanced at him and saw the uneasiness and fear that he was carefully hiding in his eyes.

After all, it is a scientific society now, and ordinary people are skeptical about the theory of ghosts and gods. When they suddenly come into contact with such things, they will inevitably feel fear and uneasy. Xue Meng is already a big heart among ordinary people, and it is difficult for him to hold it in until now that he can ask.

"It doesn't matter what they die because of," Jiang Qing said slowly, "There is a saying that 'character determines destiny'. People with bad minds may die for other reasons even if they don't have a statue of god."

His words were just a disguised acknowledge Xue Meng's guess.

While Xue Meng was whining inside, she felt that when Jiang Qing said this, the cold air behind her seemed to be less than that.

After all, no matter whether there are monsters or monsters in this world, there is a saying that must be true: If you don’t do it, you won’t die.

"You're right."

He looked at Jiang Qing with his eyes shining, and didn't know what he had imagined. Looking at that expression, if it weren't for the bus, he would probably want to hand Jiang Qing tea and hold her shoulders and thighs.

At this time, Jiang Qing was in his eyes, and he was the Buddhist monk who was hidden in the hidden world.

Xue Meng grabbed Jiang Leng's hand hard and said with emotion: "Dad, I will be your own son from now on. If you are rich and noble, don't forget each other."

Jiang Qing couldn't help laughing and crying, patted his claws off, and said coldly with his face: "Get out, I'm not as ugly as yours."

...

The Municipal People's Hospital is relatively close, so Jiang Qing got off the car first.

Mr. Yao has been in the hospital for three days. After Jiang Qing went to work, Yao Xiaohei was taking care of him. Jiang Qing was worried that he would cause trouble when he was just in contact with human society, so he hurried to go to the hospital for a look when he had time today.

He bought a fruit basket and found Mr. Yao's ward. He found Mr. Yao holding a textbook to teach Yao Xiaohei to read. The grandfather and grandson were having fun.

Although Yao Xiaohei has transformed himself, he has never been to school seriously and is half-guessing when he recognizes words. Before his retirement, Mr. Yao was a middle school teacher. He could tell at a glance that the young man was illiterate, so he asked him to go home and get a textbook, teaching him to recognize words by word.

Seeing Jiang Qing coming, Mr. Yao muttered and complained: "Jiang Qing, tell me what is going on with Xiao Hei? Such a big young man is actually illiterate! When I asked him if he had received nine years of compulsory education, he pretended to be mute with me."

Xiao Hei blinked his eyes and looked at Jiang Lvang for help.

Jiang Qing smiled and covered him: "He is an orphan. His hometown is in a very remote poor valley. He has never attended elementary school before and has come out to work at a very young age."

Xiao Hei nodded quickly: "Yeah."

When Mr. Yao heard this, his complaint turned into heartache and hurriedly said, "Oh, it's okay, I'll teach you again."

Xiao Hei grinned when he heard this, he was really like a little fool coming out of a remote mountain valley.

Jiang Veng sat in the ward for a while and asked Xiao Hei's plans in the future. He learned that he was going to find a job after Uncle Yao was discharged from the hospital. He looked stupid and was very good at thinking: "The uncle taught me to read, and when I learned it, I would go to deliver food."

He has no education and no work experience. After calculation, he is really the only way to deliver takeout and is relatively free. It is no problem to support himself and can also take care of Mr. Yao.

"Then I'll sponsor you an electric car." Jiang Qing said generously.

Xiao Hei scratched his head embarrassedly: "Uncle Yao said to lend me money to buy electric cars and mobile phones first, and then return it to him after making money."

Seeing this, Jiang Qing didn't argue with Mr. Yao. He talked with them for a while before saying goodbye and going home.

On the way home, I packed supper and went back.

The supper was a newly opened pig's feet rice downstairs. The pig's feet were salty, crispy and soft. As the ginger ate, I remembered the running Tai Sui.

For him, this amount of food can only be regarded as enjoying delicious food. If he really wants to eat a serious stomach, only Tai Sui will be the most full.

Jiang Luan couldn't help but make a small plan in his heart.

Although Ying Qiao's boss is already following up on this case, he also has many clues in his hands, and he has also discovered Zhao Qunfang's line, and he may be able to follow the clues to pull out Tai Sui... As long as he moves fast enough, no one knows that he has eaten Tai Sui.

At worst, I won’t keep it and eat it this time, just eat it full at one time, and then leave some residue for Ying Qiao’s boss to hand over it.

The more Jiang Qing thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible. After dinner, he prepared fruits and snacks for the saury, and then went to Zhao Qunfang's residence.

He came to try his luck. Judging from Zhao Qunfang's performance during the day, if she really had something to do with Tai Sui, she might go to it for help.

He sat in the flower bed outside the community, staring at Zhao Qunfang's window under the cover of flowers and plants.

At about 10:30 in the evening, the lights on the window went out, and soon Zhao Qunfang was walking towards the gate with his head hanging down.

Jiang Lvang was excited and followed her quietly.

***

On Hanyang Avenue, a slim yellow Ferrari parked on the side of the road.

The young man in the driver's seat held a compass in his hand and cursed: "Those things made from the bull's nose are really unreliable. Where are you going to drive around?"

They came out this time to catch Tai Sui.

I don’t know how many years the Tai Sui has lived. Not to mention the cunning, the Tai Sui clan is protected by its unique luck, and it can’t be found at all. In order to pursue the whereabouts of Tai Sui, Chen Hua specially borrowed a search compass from the Taoist priest next door from the special management bureau, and went to Tai Feng to borrow a few hairs to bless it, increasing the chance of finding Tai Sui.

But at first it was fine, but the compass failed halfway through the car, and the pointer began to turn wildly. Chen Hua was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

Ying Qiao sat in the back seat, tapped his fingers gently on the car window, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said, "Drive forward and go directly to Tieqiao Bay."

Chen Hua immediately threw the compass aside in disgust and complained: "You said it earlier, I have been fighting this broken compass for a long time."

He stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the Iron Bridge Bay in a flash.

Tieqiao Bay is called Wan, but it is actually an unfinished building. It was originally a commercial office building developed by a real estate company, but after the construction started, the construction site went bankrupt one after another, and then the real estate company went bankrupt. After several transactions, it was not completed successfully, and half of it was left left. Because the developer initially promoted it as Tieqiao Building, and the land was low, and it accumulated a large area of ​​water after rain. Over time, this area was called Tieqiao Bay.
