Chapter 106 - Living corpses

"Is she your girlfriend?" I looked at Zhao Qi in disbelief.

Zhao Qi was startled, "You know her?"

I handed the photo to Shen Qing and she looked at it with a face full of shock. "Isn't this the woman we saw in the locker room?"

Zhao Qi suddenly sat up straight, his breathing hastened: "What did you say? What changing room? "

"We were on the roof of the old building. When we first entered, we hid behind the clothes rack. There was even a woman hidden there. It's the person in the photo! "

Zhao Qi's eyes turned red and his body trembled uncontrollably, "Why is she still there … "It really wasn't her …"

Seeing that he was on the verge of breaking down from his excitement, he hurriedly placed the wine cup in his hand.

Zhao Qi did not even look at it as he drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp. Only after a while did he calm down a little.

"What's her name?" I asked.

"Xiao Jing." Zhao Qi answered absentmindedly.

He suddenly turned around and used both hands to grab my arms. "Xu Huo, help me, help me, help me find Xiao Jing."

"She's dead."

"No, she's still alive. It's just not her!"

My arm hurt from his grip. I forcefully pulled it away and patted his arm. "Calm down. Explain what happened."

Zhao Qi grabbed the wine bottle and poured himself a cup of wine. He took a sip and after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice:

"Xiao Jing and I got to know each other after being introduced for the year one. She is a good girl, very gentle and very beautiful. We've been together for two years and we're already getting ready to get married. But one night when her stepfather was drunk, that beast wanted to rape Xiao Jing! Xiao Jing resisted with all her might and accidentally killed him. Because of accidental death, Xiao Jing was sentenced to nine months in prison for one year. "

Saying this, he took two big gulps of wine, leaned on the sofa as if he was drained of strength, and stayed there for a while. Then he continued:

"At that time, Xiao Jing was imprisoned in Eastern City Prison and I visited her every month. Because of my profession, I had more opportunities to meet with her than other prisoners and their families. We agreed that we would get married as soon as she came out.

At that time … She worked in the old building during the day. Once, when she was working, she was found unconscious in the toilet. She had been in a coma for three whole days, but the doctor had been unable to find anything wrong with her. "So I can't help her with her medical treatment."

"Did she die of illness?" Shen Qing asked carefully.

Zhao Qi shook his head: "She's not dead! I was the one who took her out of jail! "

Shen Qing and I looked at each other, both our eyes filled with doubt.

Zhao Qi said: "But after that time she fainted, when I saw her again, she seemed to be a little different than before. After I got out of prison, I took her to my house, which made it all the more obvious. Her tone of voice, her habits, even her tastes were completely different from before. It was as if he had become a completely different person.

The worst thing was, one day I came home from work early and saw that her mouth was covered in blood. When I asked her what was wrong, she cried and refused to tell me. I saw her looking out of the window, so I went to look, and I saw a bloody chicken downstairs! The chicken hadn't even been plucked yet and was still flopping about. She actually eats live chickens! "

Listening to his words, and thinking about the female ghost I saw in the locker room, I felt a chill in my heart.

It was possible that the one who came out of jail was not Xiao Jing at all. If the female ghost was actually Xiao Jing, then that could only mean that her body had already been seized when he was unconscious at the old building!

"Where is she now?" I asked.

Zhao Qi shook his head painfully, "That time, I shouldn't have forced her to eat a live chicken, she was just crying … I just cried. When I came back from work the next day, she had already left, leaving only a letter. The letter said she was in love with me, but she wasn't the person I was in love with. He said he was a monster and wasn't worth it. "

"You didn't look for her?" Shen Qing asked.

"How could I not? I specially arranged for her to stay on duty for a whole year, but she's gone, she seems to have disappeared from this world, she's gone! "

The more Zhao Qi spoke, the more agitated he became, and two streams of tears actually rolled down from his tiger-like eyes.

Now I know why he was interested in those strange cases.

He wanted me to help him find Xiao Jing who was still in the old building no matter what.

I can only say that I will do my best and have him tell me about Xiao Jing's birth date.

As soon as the sky brightens, I'll give Duan Chengfeng a call and report Xiao Jing's birth date to him so he can help me calculate it.

An iron plan sounded out. Duan Chengfeng said four words in a low voice, "You shouldn't die!"

I asked him how the situation was, and he said that the abacus was not omnipotent, and he could not calculate the details without going into detail.

At the end of the phone call, he said that he would be coming this weekend.

Of course I did.

In the afternoon, I went to East Ward with Zhao Qi and Shen Qing.

Lin Dong told us a piece of news with a darkened face. Other than the small tombstone that I brought down, none of their people found any tombstones on the roof of the old building.

My heart sank, and I asked him if we could meet Old He, as there were some things that I wanted to ask him.

Old He was brought to his office and the first thing he said was to smoke.

Listening to what I have to say, the old man narrowed his eyes and nodded.

"Based on what I said, that girl should have been possessed by some evil spirit. Spirit possession, although it appeared to be no different from living people on the surface, it did not create its own Yang energy. In order to survive, one had to borrow the Yang energy from the outside world. Drinking rooster blood was one of the ways to survive. Although the body that has been possessed can still maintain its functions, it is still only a living corpse. "

"If we can find Xiao Jing's soul and the body that was snatched away, can we still exchange them back?" I asked.

"Exchange it back?" Old He opened his eyes wide, "Xu Huo, sometimes I really wonder if this exorcist of yours is fake. That little girl has been stolen away, which means that she is already dead. Even if we can get her flesh back, how can a dead person's soul return to the Spiritual Altar? "

Zhao Qi hoarsely said:

"I don't wish for her to come back to life. I just want to find her, see her again, and see if she can get a good family in her next life."

Old He sighed, stood up and said: "Take me to the old building to have a look."

Arriving at the old building, Old He asked if I had brought along the Eight Trigrams Mirror.

I handed him the Eight Trigrams Mirror. He looked at it and said,

"This side of yours is just an ordinary Eight Trigrams Mirror. The effect it will have after you add the talisman is very limited. If you need it in the future, you can borrow it from my store. Just remember to put it back after using it. "

With that, he dipped a brush in cinnabar and drew a talisman in the middle of the mirror. He pointed the mirror at the old building.

He looked into the mirror for a while, then began to light up the mirrors from the first floor.

When he finished taking the last photo of the second floor, he shook his head and sighed. "I'm not here. I'm not."

"Why isn't he here?" Zhao Qi panicked, "Didn't you say it's on the roof? Let's go to the roof and take a look! "

Old He waved his hand:

"There's no need to watch. Even the evil spirits can't stay in broad daylight. The normal ghosts will disappear as soon as they see the light. How can they be on the roof?" I just saw it. There's no yin aura in this building, there's no ghost here. Those ghosts that Xiao Xu and the rest saw last night, I'm afraid that they have already been brought away by Old Yin. "

Zhao Qi refused to give up. No matter what, he had to let him see it again.

Old He sighed and said:

"I don't know if Xiao Xu has told you before, but I'm actually a Ghost-Traversing Person. If I can't even tell if there's a ghost or not, how can I still be in this line of work? "

I comforted Zhao Qi and said that I had already asked someone to help Xiao Jing calculate, that her soul would definitely be fine.

I didn't dare to relay the words to Duan Chengfeng, my life shouldn't have ended … That was to be able to revive from the dead. It was incredible to think of such a thing.

Even I don't believe it, how can I just randomly give him hope?

Returning to my office, Old He suddenly said to me, "You don't need to work today, go to the shop."

"Big Treasure is here."

Old He rolled his eyes and said:

"I have a distant niece who wrote to me a while ago saying she would be coming today. In the end, you know me a little better, so it would be better if you help her arrange things. "

I curiously asked, "You still have relatives?"

Old He laughed dryly. "I already said that it's a distant room."

I asked, "What's her name? "Where do you want her to live?"

"She has the same surname as you, Xu Jie. There's also a set of keys in the drawer of the counter. It's 303, right next door to you, and that's my house, too. You help her arrange it, buy some daily necessities, etc., and deduct the money from the next quarter's rent. "

"The rent for next quarter has already been paid." I gritted my teeth. Just how many houses does this old man have? He's practically a rich old man. If I were to risk my life to earn that little bit of money, it would be like comparing a drop in the bucket with an old man. I can't be polite with him any longer.

Old He felt slightly awkward: "Hehe, then we will deduct it from next quarter's rent."

I nodded. When he returned to the prison, I told Lin Dong that there wasn't just one tombstone that Shen Qing and I saw last night. If the other tombstones were gone, then someone inside the prison would have to take them. Shen Qing also stood to the side as a witness.

Lin Dong said with a complicated expression: "I will do an internal investigation on this, but I don't understand, why would anyone want to do this in the station?"

Upon hearing his question, I suddenly recalled a detail.

I remember the Old Yin saying that he wants me to be his tonic. What does that mean?

The last time he saw the old guy was at the slaughterhouse. This time, it was even more abnormal. He actually made a bunch of Japanese bastards come out of the jail.

What on earth was his purpose …

After we left the prison, Shen Qing sent Zhao Qi home and I took the meat floss directly to back street's shop.

When he got there, he saw that Sang Lan and Pan Ying were also in the shop.

Di Family Mansion and Pan Ying are already very familiar with us, when they saw the meat, they immediately squatted down and affectionately caressed the dog's head.

Dou Dabao was grinning from ear to ear, saying that beauties would visit his shop every few days.

I shot him a glance and asked Sang Lan: "You guys run over here all day, don't you need to go to class?"

Just as Sang Lan opened her mouth, a gentle voice suddenly came from behind me: "May I ask which one of you is Xu Huo?"
