Most of the food on the table had been eaten by us. If there was a chance, we would definitely help publicize it, not just because we had eaten for nothing. The food was indeed delicious, especially the local specialties, which were very hard to come by in the restaurants outside.

Gao Ming let out a burp and wiped his mouth with a piece of paper he took out from his bag. I must have done this for free. Even if I don't pay for it, I still feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted and the man came out from behind after changing into a clean set of clothes.

"Have the three of you finished eating?"

"That's enough, now you can bring us to Lan Xin's home?"

"Alright."

Lan Xin's family lived at the side of the town. The few of us got into the car, and walked towards the location indicated by that person. Very quickly, we saw a vermillion gate.

This red-painted gate was very common in this sort of place. The first reason was to prevent the iron gate from rusting, and also for the sake of being beautiful. After all, this kind of place was rarely brightly colored.

The owner of the restaurant walked over and pushed the door open. It was around two in the afternoon and there was a chain hanging on the door, "Sister-in-law, are you home?" Someone from the city has arrived. "

The man shouted three times consecutively, but there was no sound coming from inside. His heart was pounding, if there was no one in the house, without the consent of the family, they would definitely not open the coffin. Especially in this kind of place, the notion of resting in peace was very serious.

"My apologies, but there's no one at home. Why don't you go back and take a seat? We'll come back later to take a look."

"No phone?"

After I finished speaking, the man shook his head, "So it was, after Lan Xin's accident, we started causing trouble, especially fierce, the people in the town all thought that it was Lan Xin's ghosts, making a circle around here when they go out, the relationship between us will soon get stiff, so the phone call stopped, no one is calling anyway."

"Why don't we go back to the car and wait." Looking at the tightly shut door, more than half of our enthusiasm was extinguished.

"That's fine too."

As we turned to leave, there was a creak and the inner door opened, and then we saw a gray-haired woman standing in the doorway, looking out.

"Sister-in-law, open the door. Someone from the city has arrived."

"Wait a moment."

After approximately five minutes, the door was pushed open again. The woman just now walked out with the key in her hand, her movements extremely slow, there should be something wrong with her leg, judging from her age, she should be Lan Xin's mother.

"Sachiko, what are these people doing?" When the woman reached the door, she looked at the three of us through the crack in the door.

"These are all important figures, including our police comrades and this reporter from Xia." When I spoke about me, I smiled and nodded. Because Liu Yihong's name was rather long, the other party did not remember it at all.

"You guys from the city, then what are you doing here?" the woman asked through the door.

"We would like to know more about Lan Xin."

"If there's nothing else, then hurry up and leave."

The woman raised her voice, looking especially angry. At this time, the door was still locked. "Sister-in-law, open the door."

"Let's go."

The woman turned around and quickly walked inside. Due to the problem of her legs, her body constantly swayed left and right. Although she used all her strength, her walking speed was still very slow.

"Could it be that you can bear to see your daughter killed by someone, then have resentment in your heart and not be able to reincarnate into a malicious ghost that will harm others. That way, you'll feel at ease?"

I yelled at Lan Xin's mother. Although I couldn't truly understand the feelings of a mother who had lost a child, I believed that it was filled with grief, pain, and despair. After all, this was the hope of a lifetime.

I saw her stop, her back trembling slightly. She was crying, but she didn't want anyone to see her tears. The next moment, she turned around and walked back to us. Without saying a word, she unlocked the door and hung the chain on its side.

I let out a long breath, not thinking that what I said just now would really work. No matter what, I had at least found Lan Xin's family, and the next step was to convince her parents to bring us to Lan Xin's grave.

"Then I'll go back first. There can't be no one in the store."

"Thank you so much."

"Of course." After that, that person turned around and left. Actually, the people here were quite friendly. Perhaps it was really because of the ghost, so the relationship between people became especially tense.

Cough cough cough, an intense coughing sound came from inside the house, Lan Xin's family could not be considered rich, when she opened the door, the house was filled with the smell of medicine.

"Who's here?"

A man's voice came from inside the house, and the woman replied, "It's a comrade from the city."

"Who let them in?" Then there was the sound of a man complaining, and the woman walked a few quick steps into the room, and I heard two men arguing, and then the noise died down and the woman came out again.

"You guys come in, this old man is not well, his temper is a bit weird."

"Alright."

When we entered, there was a man sitting on the bed. He looked a little haggard, and should be Lan Xin's father. It was clear that he was Lan Xin's father.

"It's a mess at home. Take a seat."

"These are all Lan Xin's photos?" I noticed that the walls of the room were covered with photographs, in black and white, in color, large and small.

"Yes, Lan Xin likes to take pictures since he was young."

"Don't touch it."

I just wanted to take a closer look, but that man actually roared. I quickly locked my hand back, and Gao Ming coughed, "You should be Lan Xin's parents."

The two of them nodded, and the woman slowly sat down on the bedside. Lan Xin's parents had a strange expression on their faces.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely awkward, so Gao Ming could only continue, "I'm from the city's criminal investigation team, and I'm here to investigate Lan Xin's case."

"What else? It has already been a year, everything that should be investigated has been investigated, everything that should be asked, in the end, we still haven't found anything, and can't let us live a few days peacefully."

Lan Xin's father started to cough again, and the woman beside him kept patting the man's back.

"Actually, a few cases have happened recently. There is evidence that it has something to do with Lan Xin."

"Bullshit." The old man's anger was immediately stoked, and the woman beside him quickly tried to persuade him in a low voice, "He's been dead for over a year, and everything has nothing to do with us anymore. We don't welcome you here, chase him away."

The man immediately got off the bed. It was obvious that he didn't welcome us. Now, let alone opening the coffin to borrow a corpse to draw its soul, he might even be thrown out like a chick.
