Nie Xiaoman took a sip of tea, shook his head, sighed, and straightened up again. He frowned, with a look of patience as much as he could, and asked the young man again.

"And what do you mean about this?"

"I mean, I believe it's a ghost, or else, maybe a vixen. But Zhou's mother tried her best to oppose it, saying that there must be a conspiracy in this matter. She said that her former neighbor Zhao Ergou's house had a strange and mysterious case, which was investigated by Lord Nie. So after I consulted with her, she told me where you are here, and told me to come here quietly, and ask me to think of a way. ”

"Then you came to see me, and your uncle didn't know?"

"Yes. Except for Zhou's mother, no one knows. ”

Nie Xiaoman sat up from the chair, put the tea bowl that had been cold back on the small table, and groaned while touching his chin.

Jing Mo reminded from the side: "Now it seems that this matter still contains the family issue of inheritance entanglement, which is complicated at this time, but it is still novel and interesting." Xiaoman, don't you say? ”

Nie Xiaoman glanced at Jing Mo and sighed slightly: "Interesting is naturally interesting." So I'm always going to take a look. He looked at the sky, measured it, and said, "When the hour is over, I will accompany this young man for a trip at once." It's cold today, you wait here for me, let me go alone. ”

After speaking, Nie Xiaoman added half an arm to his clothes, put on a Dongpo scarf, and then went out with Wei Taotao.

Since Nie Xiaoman was transferred to Yushi, he has experienced a lot of cases, but the case of the real ghost has not been confirmed once.

Although the sunshine in early spring was longer than in the last winter, the sky was gradually lowering just after midnight, and the dark shadows had begun to lay out the ground in the corners. Jing Mo sat on a chaise longue near the fire, staring at the dim ceiling, thinking deeply.

Jing Mo thought that if there was a sharp sword hanging upside down on this dark and unknown ceiling, tied with a thin rope, it would look very unstable. But you have to walk around the house every day, and when you pass there, you will subconsciously dodge so that even if the sword falls, it will not be fatal. Over time, it became a habit to turn sideways when you passed there. Maybe it's a little troublesome, but if you can save your life, you're not afraid of trouble.

I don't know what day it began, and the sword gradually became transparent, until one day it was completely invisible. You still have the habit of turning sideways when you pass there, because even if you can't see, your experience tells you that it's where the sword hangs, and you can dodge it without looking.

But one day, you were accidentally hit in the back of the head, and when you woke up, you completely forgot where the sword was. You are well aware that you have a sword in your house, but you have absolutely no idea where it is. It may be right above your head, it may not be there; It may fall and thrust you to death, or it may never fall. No matter where you stand, you are under the threat of death. So you either stay away from the mansion or live in it in fear all day.

This invisible sword on the beam of the house is a ghost.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, which suddenly pulled Jing Mo back to reality from his contemplation. As soon as Jing Mo heard this, he heard Wei Pu say outside the door: "Master Su, the master has brought a message and asked you to hurry over." ”

Nie Xiaoman's message was very simple, only saying that he was waiting for Jing Mo in the Spring Pavilion in Ertiao Lane, and asked Jing Mo to go immediately.

At this time, the shops on the road outside were all lit up, and the sky was about to darken. It turned out that the time had passed, and more than half an hour had passed for Jing Mo's cranky thoughts. Jing Mo hurriedly cleaned up, said to Wei Pu, and hired a sedan chair to look at the Spring Tower.

What happened to this case after all? Ghosts and foxes are too ridiculous, so is it really a family dispute? How is Nie Xiaoman going? Has the case been solved? If it's over, why doesn't he come back, but calls himself over?

Could it be that Xiaoman doesn't have a clue yet, so he specifically asked himself to help? Jing Mo thought about it carefully, and felt that it was not. Because Xiao Man's place Xiangchun Lou is a restaurant, and it seems that he has succeeded, he specially asked himself to drink and celebrate.

The sedan chair man sent Jingmo to the door of the Spring Appreciation Building, ending his doomed speculation. Jing Mo stepped on the stairs, and Nie Xiaoman was already at the head of the stairs to greet him.

Nie Xiaoman looked very happy, looked at Jing Mo, and said with a smile: "Jing Mo, you are really prescient!" ”

Jing Mo couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing what Xiao Man was referring to. Xiao Man didn't explain, he stretched out his hand and pulled Jing Mo into a small room, Jing Mo felt that this hand was strong, but it was very cold.

"How could I have foresight? I don't understand. ”

Nie Xiaoman explained: "Didn't you know that we were going to hunt ghosts tonight, and we took a nap to recuperate and recuperate? ”

Jing Mo also smiled: "I've taken a nap, have you seen it?" Jing Mo rubbed his eyes, touched the hair on the back of his skull, and thought about whether to talk about the thoughts about ghosts that he thought of when he was in a daze and talk about it to Nie Xiaoman.

Xiao Man smiled smugly, and sat down with each other.

Jing Mo asked, "How is this case going?" How do you say you still want to hunt ghosts? ”

Nie Xiaoman replied, "Yes." We had dinner and were going to do it. ”

Jing Mo asked, "What is the inside story of the matter after all?" What did you find out in two hours? ”

Several dishes have already been placed on the table, such as eight-treasure meat balls, shark fin with rock sugar, crab and turtle with ginger sauce, and baked chicken.

Nie Xiaoman picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dish, and said in his mouth: "These eight treasure meatballs are inspired by glutinous rice meatballs, which are selected from rice, shredded meat, minced meat, and meat strips. Try this ginger crab turtle again, I dare say that this dish is about to be lost. ”

Jing Mo couldn't bear it, so he asked again.

Xiao Man paused his chopsticks and replied, "I have already met Wei Taotao's uncle Wei Xixian and Wu San who is in charge of the door, and I have talked a few words with that Zhou's mother. In addition, I had been upstairs to see the two teenagers, and I had looked at the window where the grimace had been found. There were three frames side by side, and under the window were a brick wall, freshly painted and white. That's where the grimace appeared. That's all I got. ”

Jingmo asked, "So what do you think?" ”

"Didn't I tell you, we're going to hunt ghosts later."

"Really? Are there really ghosts? ”

"Yes!"

Jing Mo asked suspiciously, "Strange! In this world—"

Nie Xiaoman shook his hand and interjected, "Jingmo, the food is cold." Don't say more about it now. We're done eating, and you're going to have to brace yourself and help me catch ghosts. ”
