It was already afternoon when I woke up again, and I didn’t have time to eat, so Qin Yiheng took me to a deli first, bought a lot of things like chicken wings and pork heads, but didn’t take them away, but just asked the boss to put them on the counter Just go up. I was quite puzzled, didn't the fuck have money to burn it, but when I asked him, he answered confidently, telling me that I fooled those little ghosts last night, maybe someone with a grudge followed me, waiting To retaliate, it is also safe to do so, and it will not cost a lot of money anyway. What he said made sense, but I felt a little pity looking at the cooked food. It wasn't because I felt sorry for the money, but because I was hungry, and I felt a little upset when I saw that I couldn't eat the food.
In order to calm the imbalance in my heart, we went to the largest restaurant in the area in the afternoon, and we felt at ease when we ate until people couldn't stand up. During the dinner, I discussed the house with Qin Yiheng again, and asked him if the boss was killed, so his ghost lingered and stayed in the house. But he objected, and as he spoke, he took out the chopstick from last night from his bag and put it on the table. When I saw it, the chopstick had been cut into two pieces. He explained that he had already gone out to do experiments in the morning, and that the boss died in a strange way. Although there was a grievance for being killed, it is usually impossible for a wronged soul who died like this to be so rational. Moreover, now that he has I have a rough guess, but we still need to verify it.
It's his usual style to play tricks, and I don't bother to ask. Seeing that he speaks with confidence, I guess things will be resolved after a while. Sure enough, I guessed right. After dinner, Qin Yiheng called the proprietress, but I was surprised by what he asked. He actually asked the proprietress how much he weighed.
I was really confused when I heard it from the side. After getting the answer, Qin Yiheng pondered for a while and asked me to leave. We split into two groups, went to find all the shroud shops near this house, and asked if there was a fat man who ordered a special shroud before the boss died. Now I was even more puzzled, and quickly asked him how can he guess a person's figure by means of alchemy? Isn't this amazing
Qin Yiheng smiled slightly, saying that this has nothing to do with alchemy, he just saw the two-inch photo of the boss on the relevant business procedures hanging on the wall of the house before, and now he just wants to verify whether his speculation is wrong.
Without further ado, we'll start right away. There are not many shroud shops in the first place, and they are relatively concentrated, so it is easy to find them. We said that the soldiers were divided into two groups, but they actually acted together. They just went to different stores to inquire. I asked a few shops, but I didn't expect him to talk about it. The owner of a shroud shop really said that there was such a thing. According to the boss, a very fat man came to order the shroud, and the order was urgent, and he rushed to make it overnight. Originally, this shroud was bought by family members after death. Even if it was prepared before death, it was an old man with half a foot in the coffin. I have never seen such a man in his prime come to order a shroud for himself. Yes, and this person's physical features are so obvious, so he was extremely impressed.
The result of the investigation was really the same as what Qin Yiheng had speculated, and he immediately asked me to ask the proprietress out. The three met in a cafe. It is estimated that the proprietress has been thinking about this matter all the time, so she rushed here in a hurry.
Qin Yiheng was not too polite, and straight to the point, he told the proprietress what he had analyzed, saying that although he was only speculating, he could almost restore the matter to a rough outline.
First of all, the owner of the dog meat restaurant died before it opened, which is well known. Exactly how the boss died is unknown, but where he died is very questionable. There are rumors among the folks that hanged ghosts and water ghosts cannot be reincarnated after death, and must stay in place to find a substitute. There are no such rumors about other death methods, and this is also based on evidence, because when a ghost dies by hanging, his feet are suspended from the ground, and he is still unable to enter the underworld after the yang energy is gone. It is an extremely dark thing in itself, and if the soul escapes into it, it is difficult to escape, and one must find another person to die in the same place to fill the gap.
After Qin Yiheng finished speaking, he paused for a while to give us both time to understand. The proprietress was not stupid, she thought about it for a while and asked if her man was dragged by the boss who died in the water to be a substitute
Qin Yiheng nodded and said, it should be like this, but not completely, because according to the urban planning, the previous river has been filled, so the water ghost boss has no way to drag people into the water, and the reason why his man Died by accident, although it must be related to that water ghost, but to put it bluntly, the boss is looking for his own death. The owner of the dog meat restaurant did not believe in ghosts and gods before, but then suddenly changed the shop to open day and night. We all thought he did it with the idea of giving it a try, but there is obviously a problem. This change has become a bit absurd, so, I am afraid that after the river was filled, the water ghost had already arrived in the store, and his family knew this, so they transferred the store to him at a very cheap price. You all want to find a substitute for Boss Water Ghost.
After you move in, that water ghost probably wanted to attack the boss very early. Reluctantly out of the water, he has no ability to harm people. Besides, the dog meat restaurant often slaughters dogs, and he is very hostile. It is difficult for him to even get close to the boss. The method proves to the boss that ghosts and gods really exist, so that the boss can step into the trap he designed step by step. How he deceived the boss, we can't explore now, but it should be related to how to prosper the business.
In fact, the boss did what he said. The day and night business is the best proof, and the business gradually improved as expected. In this way, the boss believed the water ghost's words even more. Seeing that the time was ripe, the water ghost made up a more seductive lie, urging the boss to put on the shroud in the dead of night, and then took it off before dawn and burned it, and the pocket of the shroud might still contain the boss's hair or nails , this is a taboo in alchemy. Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of burying the dead with clothes and crowns. According to old principles, the clothes of the owner should also be burned and buried with him. In terms of alchemy, it is to dissipate the last bit of yang energy left by the deceased in the world, allowing him to reincarnate safely. , and this shroud is not to mention, it is for the dead to wear. The boss wore it for half a night, and then burned it in the extreme shade before dawn, so it is certain that he will be drawn out. In addition, the pocket of the shroud contains one's own hair or nails, which is equivalent to giving one's own life. This body, hair and skin are inherited from their parents, and they dare not damage them. This is not only about filial piety, but also in another sense to avoid being accidentally calculated by people who know alchemy. The ancients would not easily cut their hair or shave. Even if they cut it, the cut hair would be carefully stored and hidden in a secret place, fearing that someone who plots against them would get rid of it and cause disasters. Therefore, the boss completely fell into the game of the water ghost, took the risk and lost his life.
To be honest, Qin Yiheng's reasoning was indeed very exciting, but the proprietress was crying when she heard it. I could only pass a tissue beside me, but I couldn't say anything to comfort her. Qin Yiheng lit a cigarette and told the proprietress that the matter is already like this, and crying can't solve the problem, so it's better to find someone to do a ritual as soon as possible to save her man. If she still sells this house, we will accept it according to the previously negotiated price.
The proprietress hesitated for a long time, but shook her head and said that she is reluctant to sell the house now, and hopes to compensate us some money, which is also a thank you for helping her find out the truth of the matter. Originally, I thought about not wanting to take this money, but I made such a small profit, so I might as well just go with the flow and become Lei Feng for a while. However, after thinking about it, I felt that this was a bit of a loss. After all, things are now so simple that we can only do rituals. We can't suffer for nothing, so I agreed to collect the money. The proprietress immediately went to the teller machine to transfer the money to me. The money was not much, 50,000 yuan, but at least it was better than coming for nothing.
After collecting the money, Qin Yiheng told the proprietress that if she doesn't do anything for the time being, she must not take a bath in it or move into the bathtub. Then we were ready to return overnight.
On the way back, I asked Qin Yiheng what he meant by the last sentence he told the proprietress. He explained that it was very simple, the boss was killed by a water ghost in the store, and he must continue to find a substitute. He also kindly reminded the taboo, but whether the proprietress listens depends on her luck. After finishing speaking, he sighed straight away, wondering if he also felt that it was a waste of time to come. However, the matter has come to this point, there is no need to be depressed, I simply closed my eyes and squinted.
It was almost early morning when I got home, I washed up and was about to go to bed, but Qin Yiheng's call unexpectedly came after me. I was quite puzzled, thinking that today he knew abnormally that he would report to me when he got home. Unexpectedly, his voice on the phone was very anxious, as if he had encountered some serious situation and told me to rush to his house immediately. Said there was something very important to show me. I asked him on the phone, but he said one or two sentences that he couldn't understand, and then hung up the phone. I was also afraid that something might happen to him, so I hurriedly put on my clothes, took a taxi and rushed over.
