meeting room.
Seeing their boss come in, the three workers inside immediately stood up, their faces were cramped, as if they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.
"Don't be cautious, sit down and talk." Pei Qingzhi nodded.
"Thank you, Mr. Pei." One of the oldest middle-aged men said dryly.
However, it was only after Pei Qingzhi and Tang Xi sat down that they dared to sit down cautiously, their backs collapsed straight, and the chair hit the tip of their buttocks a little.
Pei Qingzhi turned to look at Tang Xi.
"Three, what's your surname?" Tang Xi asked.
The three workers froze for a moment, looked at each other, but no one made a sound.
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, bent two fingers and tapped on the table.
"The answer is, what are you looking at me for?" Pei Qingzhi said with a downcast face.
"Yes, Mr. Pei..."
"Police!" Tang Xi threw his ID on the table.
! ! !
The workers are illiterate, but they can still recognize the police badges, not to mention that the criminal police are here, no one dares to make a big show of forging certificates, right? But... the little girl in front of me, even if she has a tender face, but she is wearing a school uniform! Uniforms! Can the police department let high school students intern
"What did Consultant Tang ask, what did you say?" Pei Qingzhi said.
"Yes, yes, yes." The workers automatically filled their minds with the story of Jinghua's undercover high school and the like, laughing again and again.
After a brief self-introduction, Tang Xi knew that among the three, Lao Li, the oldest, and the deceased were roommates who lived in the same dormitory. Nian has already become a small team leader, and it happened that his distant cousin came to join him, so he brought him to work on the construction site here. The other two younger ones were a pair of cousins, surnamed Xu, who lived in the dormitory next door and had a good time with the deceased. Last night they finished work early, and the four of them played cards in Lao Li's room as usual.
"He lost a lot, so he said to go out to urinate, let's take a breath, let's shuffle the cards first." Lao Li said grumpily, "We have been waiting for him for almost half an hour, and the kid didn't come back, so we went out to find him." of."
"What cards did you play? Did you mention any special topics?" Tang Xi asked.
"This..." The three of them looked at each other, and Da Xu said, "It's just an ordinary Doudizhu, nothing special, brother, right?"
As he spoke, he also bumped his cousin next to him with his elbow.
"Yes, yes." Xiao Xu nodded immediately, "We finish work early at night here, and we can't fall asleep. We often get together to play cards... But there is absolutely no gambling, so just put down some cigarette money!"
"Gambling is not my business." Tang Xi said without moving, "What are you talking about?"
"Huh?" This time, the three of them thought longer.
"It's nothing, it's just that the parents are short-tempered, and..." Da Xu glanced at her, and whispered bravely, "Women... or something."
Tang Xi understands that this kind of man who comes out to work alone is at the bottom of society and has no culture. He doesn't think his words are well-educated, but he doesn't have bad intentions. , it's the best, she really won't be angry.
"By the way!" Lao Li suddenly seemed to remember something, slapped his thigh, and raised his voice, "Er Gouzi said, he has a girlfriend, and he looks very handsome. Let's make a fuss about Zhang who is in charge of the kitchen." As for the mother’s girl, there are no other young girls on this construction site.”
"Subject?" Tang Xi's heart moved, "Did you ask clearly?"
"That's not the case. This kid refused to let go. Seeing his expression was irritating, so he didn't ask." Xiao Xu said angrily.
Tang Xi asked a few more questions to make sure they really didn't know more, so she signaled to Pei Qingzhi.
"You can go back to the dormitory, remember, the case is not solved, so keep your mouth shut," Pei Qingzhi said.
"Yes, Boss Pei." The three quickly responded.
"What were you looking at just now?" Pei Qingzhi asked after closing the door of the meeting room.
Tang Xi threw her mobile phone on the table, and sighed: "Check to see if there was any major accident in Qingxi Gorge. The one under the pit is so fierce, you wouldn't think that it was a nearby villager who died and was buried there. here?"
"Have you found it?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
"I only found out that there should have been a village here in the late Qing Dynasty, but what happened, the gossip on the Internet is not credible." Tang Xi said with some distress, "However, if it is really an ancient tomb left at that time, After so many years, it’s not easy to deal with.”
"You suspect that the object of the deceased Li Ergou's mouth...isn't a human being?" Pei Qingzhi thought for a while.
"I think so." Tang Xi got up and said, "How about this, you can call for me to ask about the emotional problems of the injured in the previous two accidents, and see if there is such a mysterious woman."
"I'll ask Assistant Xiang to go to the hospital in person." Pei Qingzhi said immediately.
"Okay." Tang Xi waved her hand, and walked out by herself without waiting for him to call.
If someone dies, it is of course impossible to start work on the construction site immediately. Gao Zhengguan has already arranged for a bus to send irrelevant workers back to the city to do other work, leaving only a few helpers who are familiar with Li Ergou.
Tang Xi walked all the way, but there were no workers in sight, but the people sent by the city bureau to support arrived, and people kept saying hello.
On the edge of the big pit, Su Wanyi was wearing a full set of protective clothing and doing the autopsy under the crude conditions, but she didn't see Chu Li.
Tang Xi didn't look for anyone, so he grabbed someone and asked, "Where's Team Chu?"
"Hello, consultant." The person caught by her was Dayang, who was over anesthetized and wrote a self-criticism in the Yongning shopping mall hostage-taking case last time. Seeing her, he greeted her and pointed to the pit, "Captain Chu is thinking about life down here, tell us Don't bother."
"He still has a life to think about?" Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, strode to the edge of the pit, and looked down.
"Consultant, be careful, the soil layer here is not stable and easy to slip." Xiao Liu hurriedly said.
"It's okay, I'll go down and have a look." Tang Xi said.
Hearing this, Xiao Liu quickly handed her a rope.
"It's not going down the well, there's no need for this thing." Tang Xi waved his hands, looking for a foothold, and jumped directly.
"Consultant!" Xiao Liu was startled, and quickly poked his head over.
"It's okay." Tang Xi gave him an ok gesture at the bottom of the pit, then turned around and said, "The corpses have been lifted up, what are you still doing?"
Chu Li squatted on the ground, his hands were covered with mud, he just stood up now and patted the dirt on his hands.
"Did you find anything?" Tang Xi asked.
"It's just strange that there isn't one." Chu Li looked up at the wall of the pit, which was not much taller than him, "You should also find that the soil below is soft, and it is basically impossible to fall to death, but Su Forensic Doctor Preliminary investigations revealed that most of Li Ergou's bones were broken, and if this kind of injury was caused by a natural fall, the impact would have to be at least three stories high."
"I have a guess, and Pei Qingzhi went to help confirm it." Tang Xi said.
"Can it be solved?" Chu Li only asked.
"I'll do my best." Tang Xi answered frankly.
Chu Li touched the two guns tied around his waist, with a hint of sternness in his expression.
"Go up, if my prediction is right, you won't see anything during the day." Tang Xi patted him, looked up and said, "Xiao Liu, put a rope!"
"Hey! Xiao Liu immediately threw a climbing rope down.
"Can you do it?" Chu Li looked at her.
"Underestimate me?" Tang Xi sneered, pulled the rope to test his strength, stepped hard on the pit wall, and moved his body upwards. When the strength was almost exhausted, he quickly wrapped the climbing rope a few times around his arm. The circle was tight, and he continued to step on the wall of the pit, and the person had already jumped to the ground.
"Beautiful!" Xiao Liu shouted.
Chu Li shook his head with a smile, he didn't show off his skills like her, and he just grabbed the rope and climbed up honestly.
"Captain Chu, we found something!" Su Wanyi suddenly shouted.
"What?" Chu Li and Tang Xi ran over together.
Su Wanyi said while taking off the protective clothing: "The deceased had a total of seventy-three large and small fractures. I thought he must have fallen to his death. I checked the external injuries, but found that although he was seriously injured, there was no fracture. It was a fatal injury, and it could have survived the half hour the workmates came to find him. So I did an autopsy—”
"Wait, wait!" Chu Li interrupted her, waiting for her to say, "We can't autopsy the corpse without the consent of the deceased's family before it is confirmed that it is a criminal case!"
"His coworker, Lao Li, is his cousin. The deceased's parents were both farming in the countryside. They entrusted their son to this nephew, and his cousin agreed." Su Wanyi replied.
Chu Li was speechless. Strictly speaking, this was still out of order, but...
"Follow the matter urgently, Captain Chu." Su Wanyi blinked her eyes with an innocent face.
"Forget it, tell me, what did you find?" Chu Li had a headache.
"I did an autopsy, and the myocardial cells of the deceased were all damaged to varying degrees, and there were many red and rose-colored blood spots in the heart muscle. It was determined that the real cause of his death was the tearing of myocardial fibers and bleeding from the heart, leading to cardiac arrest and death." Su Wan It means.
"What do you mean?" Chu Li was stunned and hesitated, "You want to say, he had a heart attack? He fell and died of a heart attack?"
"No." Su Wanyi shook her head and explained, "When a person is extremely frightened, the adrenal glands will suddenly secrete a large amount of catecholamines, causing the heartbeat to suddenly increase, blood pressure to rise, and the oxygen consumption of myocardial metabolism to increase sharply. .The rapid blood circulation floods the heart—”
"Speak human." Chu Li interrupted.
"Oh, he was scared to death." Su Wanyi summed up simply.
"Scared to death..." Chu Li muttered to himself, "A young man in good health, what terrible things must he encounter to scare himself to death?"
"The equipment here is too crude. I will do another accurate autopsy when I return to the Municipal Bureau." Su Wanyi said.
"Okay, call me if you find anything." Chu Li nodded.
Su Wanyi responded, ordered two criminal policemen to help, smashed the body into a body bag and carried it away, preparing to go back to the city bureau first.
"Captain Chu, you are right. This is definitely not an accident." Xiao Liu said, "Even if a normal person falls into the pit, it is inevitable to be shocked, but it is unbelievable to be scared to death because of this."
"The opinion of the trace inspection is also the same. Someone pulled the deceased down in the pit." Dayang leaned over, "The strange thing is that there are no fresh footprints other than the deceased, no matter at the bottom of the pit or around it. If not, the murderer can fly!"
Chu Li glanced at Tang Xi, thinking in his heart that he could be called a ghost if he couldn't float
"Captain Chu!" Pei Qingzhi hurried over and said in a deep voice, "I have something new here!"
"Come here." Chu Li beckoned, leading him and Tang Xi to an empty place next to him.
"How is it?" Tang Xi looked over expectantly.
"You guessed it right." Pei Qingzhi nodded to her, and affirmed, "Assistant Xiang happened to be in the hospital to express condolences to the injured on behalf of the company, so I asked right away, and those two did meet a beautiful girl on the construction site, but One of them is married, and the other has a hot fight with his girlfriend, although they spent a few words, they both declined."
"Okay, the root cause has been found." Tang Xi sighed and said with nerve-racking, "Captain Chu, the murderer is not a human being. I'm afraid on your side...the case will end with an accident."
"The accident is just an accident. It's good to make that female ghost stop harming people." Chu Li said immediately.
"Okay." Tang Xi nodded, "The ancient tomb at the bottom of the pit should be the burial place of the female ghost. Below is her home field, which is not good for us, so... the only way we can think of is to lure her Come up."
"How?" Chu Li asked.
"Bait." Tang Xi said directly, "Isn't she hungry and thirsty to find a boyfriend everywhere? Then we'll give her one."
"Okay, I'll go." Chu Li said with emotion.
"Stop messing around, with your upright spirit, I'm afraid the female ghost won't see that you eat royal meals?" Tang Xi said angrily.
"You mean we have to find an ordinary person?" Chu Li's face suddenly changed, and he said decisively, "No, we can't involve ordinary people. What if something happens."
"How about I come?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
"Shut up!" Chu Li glared at him fiercely.
"I think I'm fine." Pei Qingzhi patiently explained, "If we don't solve it sooner, I'm afraid more people will suffer, and I won't be able to start work here. In comparison, I've seen ghosts several times, absolutely not As for being scared to death."
"The police cannot involve ordinary people in handling cases. This is the iron law." Chu Li did not let go.
Just like the previous Yongning shopping mall case, if Tang Xi was not a police consultant, no matter how strong she was, he would not be able to agree to exchange hostages.
"Captain Chu, you have to close the case with an accident, so... this paragraph won't be included in the case file." Pei Qingzhi reminded.
"..." Chu Li was speechless, so you just want me to pretend I didn't see it.
"Come on, the case is yours, don't act like a good boy if you get it cheap." Tang Xi said.
"Get out." Chu Li gave her a supercilious look.
that night.
After collecting the evidence, the police also withdrew to the urban area, and only four people, Pei Qingzhi, Chu Li, Tang Xi, and Xiao Liu, were left on the huge construction site.
Tang Xi gnawed on the buns that were used as snacks while checking the time.
"It's still early, do you want to play cards?" Pei Qingzhi came in with two decks of poker.
"Forget it." Tang Xi lost interest, "I don't know much about it, and I'm not very interested... You guys play."
"Consultant, what are you doing?" Xiao Liu asked curiously.
Tang Xi held a small bun in his left hand, but the fingers of his right hand kept beating like flowers, with a lot of rhythm, which looked pleasing to the eye.
"Weave a net to catch people." Tang Xi smiled.
In Chu Li's right eye, through the contact lens, the fine spiritual power net in her hand can be clearly seen.
Suddenly, her face changed, and her eyes were filled with joy: "Su Huang, are you awake?"
The female ghost in red appeared next to her, stretched lazily, and complained: "Really, why do women make things difficult for women..."
"The following is really a female ghost?" Tang Xi's eyes lit up.
It would be great if Su Huang could wake up before the battle, at least he could know what was going on under the pit.
"That's right, Xiao Xi, it looks like she was dressed in the early years of the Republic of China, and she was still wearing a red wedding gown. No wonder she has so much resentment." Su Huang said with lingering fear.
"Wedding ghost?" Tang Xi frowned.
A woman who died on her wedding night must be emotionally unsatisfactory, no wonder she has such a big opinion of men!
After a while, she asked, "What's the situation below? Is it an ancient tomb?"
"No." Unexpectedly, Su Huang shook her head, "Xiaoxi, there should have been a mudslide or something like that, and the wreckage of the entire village was submerged under the soil layer. Isn't the bottom of the pit A cemetery, but a well."
"Well?" Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then cursed, "The ghosts of the bride who threw themselves into the well are all together, it's really fierce!"
"Xiaoxi, that ghost has deep resentment, if I didn't have your spiritual power in me, if I ran out at a critical moment, I'm afraid she would swallow it." Su Huang said.
"The underground is her territory. With her bones, her strength has been strengthened. After all, you are far behind her." Tang Xi comforted.
"I always feel that it would be great if I could be stronger." Su Huang sighed and returned to the Soul Cultivation Bead.
"Yes." Pei Qingzhi held the phone and said, "In the eleventh year of the Republic of China, it rained for more than half a month near Qingxi Gorge, and there was a mudslide disaster."
"Okay, it's all right." Tang Xi got up and said, "As for any grievances, you can directly ask the bride's sister at that time."
"What should I do?" Pei Qingzhi said in a deep voice.
"You don't need to do anything, just go out and walk around." Tang Xi said, took out a spell and handed it to him, which was a rare physical spell drawn by her with a pen, and urged, "Warning symbols, keep them close to you, if you have them When dirty things approach, the spell will heat up to remind you."
"Okay." Pei Qingzhi took the talisman, carefully put it into his shirt pocket, and pressed it against his heart through a thin layer of fabric.
"Boss Pei." Tang Xi looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "Although Boss Pei has always been very attractive to female ghosts, you still have to control yourself and don't be seduced by female ghosts."
"No." Pei Qingzhi gave her a serious look.
Tang Xi rubbed her chin, wondering whether he meant "wouldn't attract female ghosts" or "won't be seduced by female ghosts"? Hey, it seems almost the same.
"Just lure it out, and then evacuate to a safe place immediately. You don't need to work hard, remember." Chu Li repeated solemnly.
"Although we saw less after you went undercover, at least you can trust our tacit understanding before." Pei Qingzhi said.
"Is there a tacit understanding of skipping class together?" Tang Xi complained.
"Why don't you tell her that too." Chu Li was startled, and glanced at her a little embarrassedly.
"Aren't you her guardian? Then helping her find out about her guardian is to do my duty as a friend." Pei Qingzhi said.
"Friend? Whose?" Chu Libai said.
"Of course it's hers!" Pei Qingzhi replied confidently.
Chu Li:! ! !
Tang Xi couldn't help but let out a "puchi" laugh. Only Xiao Liu was beside him and asked the sky speechlessly. He always felt that it was too much for him to stay and help.
"Be careful." Tang Xi gave her last blessing.
"Don't worry." Pei Qingzhi put on his coat and walked out.
"Let's follow farther away." Tang Xi waited for him to walk more than ten meters before hanging far behind, "Little Liu, don't follow, meet in the conference room, and pay attention to your mobile phone."
"Okay." Xiao Liu swallowed. In fact, I don’t know which is more creepy, following a consultant to catch ghosts or staying alone in a haunted construction site. He can only pinch the special blessing hanging around his neck and hypnotize himself: I am a policeman, I am a policeman , I am the police.
What the hell are the police afraid of!
On the other side, Pei Qingzhi walked towards the pit along the familiar path, and before he knew it, a faint mist began to appear around him.
His footsteps only paused slightly, and he continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
The fog was getting heavier and heavier. At the end, it was almost impossible to see the scenery three meters away. When I turned around, I couldn't see where Tang Xi and Chu Li were.
After hesitating for a while, he felt that since Tang Xi didn't tell him to stop, he should go over first.
There was a faint and noisy sound in the ear, as if many people were talking loudly, and there was a special kind of music mixed in, which was very festive. After careful identification, it feels a bit like the suona that people played when they got married in the old days.
Suona? Pei Qingzhi was startled and stopped in her tracks.
Although he couldn't distinguish his fingers, he had a good sense of direction, and he estimated in his heart that he should have walked near the pit. Fearing that he would accidentally step on the ground, he used the light of his mobile phone to shine on the ground.
However, what shocked him was that under the pale light, there was actually a path paved with bluestone slabs!
It is the long bluestone slabs in the scenic spots of the ancient town, which have a sense of age and vicissitudes of time than those in the scenic spots.
Pei Qingzhi froze in place for a moment, wondering if he should continue walking. And the key is, is he really still at the construction site? What about Tang Xi and Chu Li
After a while, the voice in the ear became clearer, and the content of the speech could already be heard clearly, mixed with dialect, and only half of it could be understood. It seemed to be congratulating someone on their marriage.
The fog also gradually dispersed, revealing the shadow of an archway.
Pei Qingzhi only thought for a few seconds before deciding to go in and have a look. What was surprising was that he himself couldn't believe it. After encountering such a strange thing, he didn't feel the slightest fear in his heart.
Walking along the bluestone road to the foot of the archway, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and the tentacles were cold, and it was indeed the touch of a stone.
"Isn't it a hallucination?" Pei Qingzhi murmured to himself, carefully looking at the archway.
It is a very old thing, and it has been mottled, and the words "Bingqing, Yujie" can barely be recognized on the lintel. It should be a chastity archway.
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from the opposite side.
Pei Qingzhi was startled, looked left and right, but there was nowhere to hide, and in the thin mist, a red shadow staggered towards him.
He touched his heart subconsciously, and suddenly found that the warning symbol Tang Xi gave him did not respond.
Not a ghost
"Ah!" The woman in red also thought that there would be someone here, and she exclaimed, her feet went limp, and she fell directly to the ground.
Pei Qingzhi's nerves were tense, but his heart was surprisingly calm.
The woman wore a bright red wedding dress, her hair was coiled up, her face was delicately made up, but there was a trace of pitiful panic, like a frightened fawn.
In an instant, a thought flooded Pei Qingzhi's mind.
Could it be that this is Qingxi Village a hundred years ago, and the woman in front of her is the bride from the well
