The old woman was stunned when she heard my question sitting in the chair. She muttered and said, "I am... I am..."
The footless old woman dragged and said "I am" for a long time without answering. So this simple question seemed to make it difficult for her to answer, or she didn't know how to answer.
After a while she said, "I don't remember much, because no one has asked my name for a long time."
She turned to look at the bookshelf, and placed a photo frame on a separate partition of the bookshelf. In the photo was a girl in a white dress. In order to see the girl in the photo, I deliberately took a few steps forward.
The girl in the photo is not Officer Liu, but the beauty of the girl is exactly the same as that of Officer Liu the night before. The otherworldly does not seem to come from the world.
I guess the girl in the photo should be the "ghost" that the shop owner said. But why the shop owner mistakenly thinks Officer Liu is the girl in the photo, I can't explain.
I looked back at the old woman and asked politely: "Old man, when you saw us, you said that you are finally here. Do you mean me?"
"Correct."
"Do you know me? How do you know I will come?"
"Because... Cough cough cough..." The old woman coughed vigorously. The cough made her body bend down deeply and made her body look shorter. Her violent cough made me worry that she would suddenly cough up a mouthful of old blood and died suddenly.
It took a long time for the old woman to stop coughing. She paled and said, "When a person is old, her body is no longer useful." After breathing for a moment, she began to answer my question and said, "I don't know you. I only Knowing that someone will come."
"But we have two people here, why do you think I am the one you are waiting for?"
"Face." The old woman replied concisely.
The old woman's words did not surprise me, because she was definitely not an ordinary person to be able to appear in such a place, and it should not be difficult for her to know my origins through face.
I asked again: "Then you must also know what I'm here for."
"I know, you are here to find a girl named Liu Xin. She was a policeman before."
"Then is she here?" I asked hurriedly.
"in."
The old woman’s simple answer finally made me identify the woman I was struggling to find.
It was Police Officer Liu, not as I had previously guessed, Police Officer Liu had a sister.
But then I have more doubts. Since she is Officer Liu, why she has so many incredible performances, such as her indescribable beauty, why she should drop her head to Yang Wanwan, and why she took notes But can't see the content, and after seeing me, not only did Police Officer Liu not recognize me, but he also acted like a timid and weak woman? More importantly, why did the owner of the department store say that he had been seeing Officer Liu for 17 years, watching her grow up
These doubts and incomprehensions were all squeezed in my mind. I wanted to ask all the doubts in one breath, but found that I was a little bit at a loss, or started with that question first, so I had to ask first: "You and Liu Xin are the same what relationship?"
"Our relationship is..." The old woman was lost in thought, giving me the feeling that she seemed to have a hard time explaining the relationship between herself and Officer Liu.
After a while, she said: "It's the relationship between the employer and the employed."
The relationship between the employer and the employed? This kind of relationship is strange. Why would Police Officer Liu work for her? money? Certainly not, because Officer Liu has a well-earned family.
"Why do you hire her?"
"Because you will only come here if I hire her."
"Me? Did you hire her for me?" I asked in surprise.
"Yes. You run a funeral home together with others, and at the same time, you will also take in some business to exorcise evil and avoid evil. I asked Liu Xin to give your employer a ghost. For the money, you will naturally help him solve the problem. You are solving the problem. At the same time, you will find that she is Liu Xin, so you will have doubts and want to know why it is her, and then you will keep chasing it down, and finally you will be brought here by clues."
I was shocked by what the old woman said. She took great pains to get me here. However, she took me very accurately. If it weren't for the mysterious girl who had discovered that the person who dropped the head to Yang Wanwan might be Officer Liu, I would have given up tracing this matter long ago. Because the whole fact is too weird, and weirdness is dangerous everywhere. Even if I love money, I won't do things that make money and spend my life, otherwise I wouldn't change my career from a truck driver.
"I don't know you, and I have no grudges in the past and in the past. What do you want to do to bring me here?"
"Save someone."
"Who?"
The old woman turned to look at the coffin in the corner of the study, and said, "My granddaughter."
When the old woman replied that it was her granddaughter, she looked at the coffin in the room, no doubt telling me that her granddaughter was lying in the coffin. Since it was lying in a coffin, it must be a corpse.
I remembered that Police Officer Liu went to Feiqu and asked the owner of the department store to purchase chemicals, and came to the conclusion that it must be the granddaughter of the old woman who does not decompose the corpse.
But the granddaughter of the old woman is dead, and I don't have the ability to come back to life. How can I save it? Could it be the old lady who wanted to use evil spells to make me life-for-life
And why did the old woman choose me
"Old man, how do you want me to save her? I don't have the ability to come back to life."
The old woman's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she said: "My granddaughter is not dead!"
"No, not dead?" I looked at the coffin again, wondering if there was a living person lying in it? I swallowed and spit, and said, "I'm not dead, but I'm not a doctor either."
The sharp eyes of the old woman dimmed again, and after a long sigh, she said: "My granddaughter's name is Su Meng. She had a disease a year ago and she woke up again. If you want her to wake up again, you must find someone who knows her. The person that matches, and you are the person I am looking for."
"What do you mean by heart orifice matching?"
The old woman didn't answer my question. Instead, she got down from her chair and "rubbed" on the ground and came to me. I was afraid that she could not help but stepped back, but in the end she grabbed her wrist.
Her dry five-fingered hands were so powerful that I felt painful to grasp them like iron pliers. Before I could resist, she took me to the sarcophagus. It turned out that she wanted me to see her granddaughter.
When I came to the sarcophagus, there really was a girl in a white dress lying inside. The white dress was exactly the same as Officer Liu's body, she was also of the same figure, and she wore a white mask on her face. If it wasn't for the old woman who said that Officer Liu was going out to work , I really thought it was Officer Liu who was lying inside.
Although I had guessed the girl’s identity, I couldn’t help but ask: "Is she your granddaughter?"
The old woman nodded, then let go of my wrist to uncover the girl's mask.
I couldn't help holding my breath, opening my curious eyes, eagerly waiting for the moment when the mask was uncovered.
