"It seems you can't take the initiative to touch it." The thin man concluded.
"We have to do it again." The fat man also concluded.
I had no choice but to wait for the next opportunity, but I felt vaguely that something was not right.
The next time came very quickly, and I watched helplessly as the head rolled down the stairs in a panic, swinging twice in the corridor, and stopped with its face facing upwards. This was also the first time I saw what this girl looked like: round face, big eyes, very cute, and she looked very young. At this moment, her big eyes were wide open in fear, her mouth was open, shouting silently, and the wrinkles between her eyebrows showed the pain she had just experienced.
I squatted in front of her, waiting for her to speak, but unexpectedly she disappeared. I stared at the ground in shock for a long time, and the uneasy feeling became clear.
"Brother Qi, how are you?" the fat man asked.
"I'm afraid not yet." I smiled bitterly, "Her performance is not over yet."
The thin man and the fat man looked at each other.
I counted the time. I had nightmares about Zhang Shanmei for more than ten days. I watched her go crazy in her dreams little by little. It might take that long this time.
"Let's go." I said disappointedly.
I'm at my wits' end about this matter.
The thin man and the fat man didn't know how to comfort me, so they could only hold my shoulders on one side.
"We'll find that scumbag!"
"Yes! Let him be wiped out in ashes when the time comes!"
I twitched my lips and said, "Definitely!"
It was past midnight when I got home. After washing myself gently, I lay down on my bed and fell asleep with some urgency.
The dream was still the scene of the girl committing suicide. I didn't give up and tried to break through the limits like yesterday. I want to save that girl, even if she only thinks that she is performing, like Zhang Shanmei, she expects to be praised after the performance is completed, and I don't want to see her destroying herself unconsciously.
Bang!
The girl's headless body fell again, and I failed again, but I was not discouraged. While I was waiting for the nth repetition, I saw the girl's fingers move. My heart skipped a beat and I knew a change was coming.
But my sleep was not permanent, and when I woke up I could see no further changes.
When I got to the office, I saw the thin man talking to Chen Xiaoqiu.
Chen Xiaoqiu glanced at me and said lightly: "I understand."
Both Shouzi and I heard a trace of dissatisfaction in Chen Xiaoqiu's tone.
"If it's too much trouble, forget it." I guessed that the thin man was talking to Chen Xiaoqiu about the investigation. "This matter may be dangerous. That ghost is different from Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang."
It’s also different from a kimono. I have absolutely no idea what his criteria for selecting "actors" were. As such, getting involved can be dangerous.
Chen Xiaoqiu pursed his lips, said nothing, and started his day's work.
The thin man and I looked at each other, not knowing what to do with Chen Xiaoqiu. The one who gets along better with Chen Xiaoqiu in the office is Guo Yujie. It's hard to talk to Guo Yujie about this matter, otherwise with her enthusiastic heart, she wouldn't know what she would do impulsively.
We didn't want to tell Guo Yujie about this. Guo Yujie herself felt the subtlety of the atmosphere, especially Chen Xiaoqiu's changed attitude.
When she got off work, Guo Yujie patted the table, and everything on the table jumped five centimeters high. From a close distance, I could see a small crack on the side of the table. This is definitely the result of Guo Yujie's efforts to restrain her strength.
"What did you hide from me? Tan Wenrui, Chu Yuanguang, did you do something to Xiaoqiu?" Guo Yujie called out the full names of the thin man and the fat man, and she seemed really angry.
The office was silent for a second.
Chen Xiaoqiu said: "They didn't do anything."
"You're angry because they didn't do anything? Don't be afraid. If they really do something, I can't kill them!" Guo Yujie glared at the thin man and the fat man.
The fat man was really wronged. He had no idea what was going on and could only give the thin man a hint with his eyes.
The thin man didn't know where he offended Chen Xiaoqiu, so he pointed at Chen Xiaoqiu with his eyes.
I saw both of them squinting, which was funny. It happened because of me, and I can only bear the responsibility.
"Guo Yujie, this matter has nothing to do with them."
Guo Yujie immediately diverted the fire and stared at me with her bright eyes.
I suddenly thought of the girl's big eyes, feeling a little sad, "You have to promise not to mess around."
Guo Yujie said nothing. After looking at me for a long time, she snorted.
"The two cases at the Drama School were both supernatural incidents." Now that I had opened up the conversation, I stopped being secretive and told Guo Yujie and Chen Xiaoqiu everything. "This time will be very dangerous. I didn't want to involve you." …”
"What do you mean? Don't you consider me a friend?" Guo Yujie patted the table again.
"Because I treat you as a friend, I won't tell you." I smiled.
Guo Yujie opened her mouth and turned her head away, her ears dyed a light pink.
I suddenly realized it, looked at Chen Xiaoqiu, and said sincerely: "Although we have not been together for a short time, I have already regarded you as a friend. Aunt Wang did not hide this matter from you. But this time is different."
Chen Xiaoqiu's expression softened, "Thank you."
Guo Yujie smiled happily, and went over to hook Chen Xiaoqiu's shoulder, "I've told you before, although the three of them are incompatible, they are all very good people."
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by being indifferent?" the thin man yelled.
"It's just out of tune." Guo Yujie quarreled with the thin man and began to expose the dark history of the thin man, such as ordering takeout wrongly, writing work reports indiscriminately, and having no control over his words when receiving the masses...
The corners of Chen Xiaoqiu's lips curled up quietly, his expression soft and sweet.
The fat man cleared his throat, "Isn't this the time to talk about this?"
Guo Yujie and Shouzi stopped arguing.
Chen Xiaoqiu said: "I have gone to the police station to read the transcripts of two cases before."
The four of us were taken aback.
"Did you check secretly?" I asked.
Chen Xiaoqiu said: "Lan Lan is also in the drama school."
How could Chen Xiaoqiu not be worried about his cousin being there? The Chen family must be very concerned about the two cases.
"How is it?" the thin man asked impatiently.
"Those two murderers are normal." Chen Xiaoqiu replied, "After investigation, it is an ordinary case." She paused and added four words: "It is reasonable."
I heard the meaning of these four words. The identities, relationships, motives, and methods of the murderer and the victim are all reasonable. Both cases will be solid cases, and there is nothing questionable about them.
"I will investigate what happened on the set. Now, that evil ghost..." Chen Xiaoqiu frowned.
"There is no way." I sighed, "The people in Qingye didn't provide me with any way. If you want to worry about your cousin, you can only find other experts."
"Then we can directly find an expert to deal with this evil ghost, right?" Guo Yujie said.
"Do you know any experts?" the thin man asked.
"I went to the City God's Temple to worship, but it was useless." I first told about my incident of burning incense.
The Chenghuang Temple is the most popular place in Minqing City.
Fatty is obviously the same as me, he only knows about the Chenghuang Temple.
The thin man was very embarrassed, "I know a few psychics, but they don't catch ghosts and exorcise them."
"What about Ning'an Temple? People go to Ning'an Temple to ring bells during the Chinese New Year. There should be some use there, right?" Guo Yujie mentioned another famous temple in the city.
