As the firefighters left one after another, Hengfei's housekeeper came running over: "Boss, the lady is packing up to leave, go check on her!"
Heng Fei said irritably, "Go, go, go... Let her go! Spendthrift woman, it's already this hour, why don't you save some energy for me?"
Ye Jin advised: "Lao Heng, you should go and take a look! After all, my sister-in-law doesn't believe in these things, so you have to do more work."
When it comes to magic and sorcery, there are always some who believe in it and some who don't.
When believers and non-believers meet, conflicts are inevitable, especially between husband and wife. If one cannot tolerate the other's piety, it is easy to cause family discord. This is probably the case with Hengfei and his wife.
Hengfei sighed heavily and walked into the villa. As outsiders, we couldn't get involved in their affairs, so we could only wait outside. Not long after, I heard a scream from the villa, followed by Hengfei's cry for help: "Help! Ghosts are killing people!"
I rushed into the door without thinking too much. As soon as I reached the second floor, I smelled a strong smell of blood. When I followed the sound of cry for help and broke into a bedroom, the first thing I saw was Hengfei hugging his wife who was covered in blood and crying loudly.
I rushed over to take a look and couldn't help but gasp - half of Heng's wife's neck had been torn off by something, even the bones were exposed, blood gushed out of the wound like a fountain, and she had died in Heng Fei's arms with her eyes wide open. From the wound on the body, it was clear that she had been bitten in the throat by a wild beast.
I reached out and pulled Hengfei up: "Butler, come and call the police."
Someone died, so we had no choice but to call the police. Otherwise, Hengfei himself would have a hard time explaining himself.
After the police cordoned off the scene, they took all of us back to take statements. Hengfei was the last one to come out of the criminal police team, and the police officer who took his statement said, "Mr. Heng, according to our on-site investigation, a canine animal must have jumped into the house from the second-floor window of the villa and bit your wife to death. Do you have any relevant clues?"
"I don't know..." Heng Fei waved his hand and said, "There are many people who keep dogs in the villa area, and there are also several large dogs. You can go check it out!"
After saying this, Hengfei left without looking back.
If you say that Hengfei's wife was bitten to death by a dog, I will be the first to not believe it. The crime scene was on the second floor, and there was no place to gain leverage below. A dog is not a cat, so how could it jump into the house from the second floor window to kill someone, and then leave calmly
I took Hengfei to the car and asked, "Boss Heng, did you see what happened?"
"No." Heng Fei shook his head. "I had a quarrel with Xiao Ai and then slammed the door and left. I wanted to stand at the door for a while to smoke a cigarette, but before I lit my cigarette, I heard Xiao Ai screaming in the room. I wanted to open the door, but the bedroom door would not open, so I shouted 'ghost killing people'."
"Not long after I shouted, the door opened by itself. When I went in, I saw Xiao Ai lying on the ground covered in blood. I didn't see anything else."
Heng Fei raised his head suddenly: "Mr. Wu, you must help me to avenge! Xiao Ai died unjustly, I... I am afraid that my grandfather has come back to kill people..."
I asked casually, "How do you know it was your grandfather who killed someone?"
Heng Fei said in a hoarse voice: "When I was outside the door, I smelled a strong smell of dry tobacco. That smell was exactly the same as my grandfather's. That meant my grandfather was back."
"My grandfather came back before. Every time he smelled the smell of dry tobacco in the house, my father would say that it was my grandfather who came back and told him to live a good life and to hold on."
"What does it mean to hold on?" I remember Hengfei once said that his grandfather told them to hold on no matter what.
Heng Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Before I became rich, my family couldn't do anything. The occasional money we made was either used to pay off debts or to pay for medical treatment. During the Chinese New Year, I was eagerly looking forward to my father buying some white flour to make dumplings, but what I got was the creditors blocking the door."
"My father had thought about taking my mother and me on the road and ending our lives, but in the end he gritted his teeth and persevered. According to my father, if my grandfather hadn't come back to scold him from time to time, he would have died long ago."
"After I became rich, I never smelled that smell of dry tobacco again, and my father never said that my grandfather had come back again."
Heng Fei said in a trembling voice: "This time it must be my grandfather who has returned..."
Monk Shi blurted out, "Does your grandfather bite people?"
I glared at Monk Shi. In fact, if a person is buried in the underworld after death, it is very likely that something strange will happen, and no one can tell what it will become.
Monk Shi also realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.
I said in a deep voice, "In other words, from the time your wife screamed to the time you walked in, it took less than half a minute?"
"That's about right!" Heng Fei said with a shudder, "But I didn't see anything."
I asked again, "Who else is in your family? You'd better not hide anything. I can see that you are destined to have a son, but you say you only have a daughter."
Heng Fei's face changed drastically and he said, "I did keep a woman outside, and she gave birth to a son for me. My grandfather couldn't be..."
"Take us there!" Ye Jin immediately stepped on the accelerator.
Cutting off the fortune and establishing the ancestor can be regarded as a betrayal of the ancestors. The ancestors punished the unfilial descendants, starting with the male offspring, and then the girls who did not leave the house. In the feudal society where male power was respected, married daughters were always regarded as belonging to other families. Even if the feng shui of the ancestral tomb had some influence on married women, it would not exceed 20%. If old man Heng wanted to kill someone, the first person he would find should be Hengfei's son.
Heng Fei kept urging along the way: "Ye Jin, hurry up, hurry up! Nothing must happen to my son!"
After Ye Jin accelerated several times, the car drove into an upscale residential area on the outskirts of the city at lightning speed.
Not long after the car entered the community, I saw a wolf dog not far away. Hengfei pointed in the direction of the dog and said, "Quick, it's over there..."
While Hengfei was talking, the wolf dog suddenly stood up from the ground, holding the door with its front paws, and blocked the door with its back to us. When I was about to push the door open to get out of the car, the wolf dog had already pressed down the door handle with its paws and opened the door.
When the light from the corridor shone through the crack in the door, the wolfhound's fur instantly turned a dark gray color, and its originally slender back suddenly widened a bit. The wolfhound's head also began to become round, and the hair on the back of its head turned snow-white...
After just a few seconds, the other person's back clearly turned into an old man wearing gray cloth clothes.
"That's my grandpa... Grandpa, you can't kill people!" Heng Fei shouted at the top of his lungs, and then, as if all his strength had been drained away, he fell to the ground with a thump.
"Chase!" I ran straight to the door, but the door, which had been open, slowly closed towards the gate. When I reached out to grab the door handle, the closing door suddenly accelerated and "banged" me out with less than an inch away from my finger.
But I saw through the iron mesh on the door a big gray dog running up the stairs.
I reached out and pulled out the Rakshasa, thrust the tip of the knife into the crack of the door, and slashed down with both hands. When the three-foot blade fell on the threshold with the sound of cutting the lock core, Monk Shi stretched out his hand to open the door and rushed in: "Lao Heng, which floor is your wife on?"
"608!" Hengfei just shouted, and Shi Heshang and I rushed into the building together. Shi Heshang chased after him from the building entrance and shouted loudly: "Old Wu, take the elevator!"
While I was slightly stunned, Hengfei had already been helped to the door of the building by Ye Jin, and he desperately slammed the electronic doorbell: "Lingling... Lingling... Don't open the door before I go upstairs! Do you hear me? Don't open the door!"
Before I could hear any response from the doorbell, the elevator door not far from me suddenly opened.
There was only one woman with a dog in the elevator. When she saw me, she was obviously stunned for a moment, then she said apologetically: "Sir, are you taking the elevator? I need to go upstairs to get something."
I nodded slightly and stood in the elevator. When the woman saw me getting in the elevator, she used her leg to push the Samoyed that was spinning around in the elevator back and said, "Don't be afraid. Nao Nao won't bite."
I nodded in agreement, and then I saw the woman reached out and pressed the button for the sixth floor. I didn't pay much attention to her at first, until I saw her press the button for the sixth floor, and then I instinctively looked at the elevator keypad. The smooth mirror-like keypad just reflected the woman's face.
Only then did I notice that the left half of her lip was painted with bright lipstick, but the right half of her lip looked pale and bloodless, as if she had stopped halfway through putting on makeup.
I asked tentatively: "Your makeup is quite interesting!"
The woman gently used her fingers to apply makeup to half of her lips: "I can't lift my left hand, so I can only put on makeup on half of my face."
My eyes subconsciously moved to the other person's sleeve, but I saw a small section of white bone exposed on her sleeve. I quietly reached out to the dagger beside my leg: "What's wrong with your hand?"
"Eated by wolves." The woman whispered, "In the past, I heard from the elders that after a person dies, he must not let his enemies find his body. Otherwise, if the enemies do something to the body, the ghost will be harmed..."
Before the woman finished her words, her left hand, which was hanging by her side, slipped out of her sleeve and fell to the ground with a "thump". It was clear that only half of the bones were left on the hand, with only a piece of dark red flesh remaining where it was connected to the shoulder. At first glance, it looked like a piece of dried meat that had been stored for several days.
Before I could see clearly, the Samoyed that followed the woman pounced on the severed hand, pressed the white bone with its claws, and opened its mouth to tear off the flesh on the hand...
