Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Gong Maker Dies
Looking at Ji Yayun's curled hair and ironed cheongsam, I couldn't help but think of that strange dream.
She is dressed exactly like 'Xiaoya'.
I walked up to her, and seeing that she was still distracted, I tried to call softly:
"Xiaoya?"
"Eh, boss."
Ji Yayun responded almost subconsciously, and then suddenly raised his head to look at me, and his eyes widened.
"Xu Qiu, what are you doing? Auntie is haunted by ghosts again, she has changed her ghost clothes again, you hurry up and help her! Sang Lan walked over and said anxiously.
Then he said to Ji Yayun: "Auntie, don't be afraid, hurry up and take off this dead man's clothes first." ”
As he spoke, he reached out and unbuttoned the cheongsam.
I nodded in acquiescence and took two steps back.
Ji Yayun was stunned for a moment before reacting, and hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Lan Lan, calm down, this dress is mine, I bought it online just a few days ago." ”
"You bought it?" Sang Lan's movements froze suddenly.
Pan Ying swallowed her spit and said, "Aunt Yun, it's understandable that women love beauty, but there's no reason for you to sleep and dress like this?" ”
Seeing that the beautiful woman couldn't undress, I had to touch my nose and ask the three of them what was going on.
After listening to Sang Lan and Pan Ying, I knew that Ji Yayun usually had the habit of getting up early, but today she slept lazily for the first time.
Sang Lan and Pan Ying got up, and when they saw that she hadn't gotten up yet, they thought she was uncomfortable, so they went to her room to check.
As a result, as soon as I opened the door, I saw her lying on the bed with her head crossed, wearing a cheongsam, and even wearing a pair of black high heels on her feet.
When Sang Lan and I first met, we were in a mess because of the burning of ghost clothes, so Sang Lan naturally thought that Ji Yayun had made the same mistake again and was entangled by ghosts.
I thought about it for a while and said to Sang Lan:
"You and Pan Pan go out first, I have something I want to talk to your aunt alone."
When the two of them went out, I closed the door, turned around, looked at the beauty with mature charm in front of me, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little unusual, and I hurriedly opened the door lock.
I was silent for a while, but Ji Yayun came over and asked me:
"Xu Qiu, what happened?"
I asked rhetorically, "Do you remember what happened before?" ”
Ji Yayun's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and he shook his head suddenly:
"I felt like I had a dream, and somehow, I ended up in an ancient room...... I seem to see you again. ”
"What do you call me?"
"Old ......"
Ji Yayun paused after only saying one word, and looked at me with deeper suspicion in his eyes.
"I may have had the same dream as you."
I took two steps back, gestured at myself, and said with a dry laugh, "You can see that I'm in a similar situation to you." ”
Ji Yayun looked at me and muttered, "How can this be...... Is that really a dream? ”
I spread my hands, I didn't know how to answer, looking at her pretty face, thinking of Xiaoya's youthful and beautiful face, I couldn't help but blurt out:
"You were so beautiful when you were young."
Ji Yayun was stunned for a moment, and then frowned.
"I mean...... I can't explain this dream clearly......"
Before I could finish speaking, she took two big steps forward, walked up to me, rubbed one foot of her heel on the floor, glared at me and said:
"What do you mean? You mean I'm old? Not pretty anymore? ”
"Huh? No...... I was trying to tell you about ...... yesterday."
"Get out! I'm going to change my clothes! ”
"Bang!"
The door slammed shut behind him.
I couldn't laugh or cry.
Woman...... What exactly is your focus?
Sang Lan and Pan Ying greeted them.
Sang Lan asked me, "How is my aunt?" ”
I had to say, "She's fine." ”
Pan Ying looked me up and down and asked, "Why did you put this dress on again?" ”
I could only spread my hands again: "That's why I said she's okay, and I'll wake up like this in the morning!" ”
The three of them went downstairs with their own concerns.
Not long after, Ji Yayun, who had changed into her usual clothes, also walked down.
Pan Ying asked me, "What did you say to the air outside just now?" ”
I was stunned, "You didn't see that fat old man?" ”
"Which fat old man?"
"That's it...... The one next door to Lao Chen. ”
Pan Ying shook her head, "When I went out, I saw you standing there alone and wincing your eyebrows. ”
Ji Yayun suddenly asked me, "Are you talking about Mr. Huang on the 12th?" ”
I thought about it and nodded.
Ji Yayun said: "When you went to work two days ago, he was sent to the hospital by his family, as if he was suffering from high blood pressure, and he shouldn't have come back yet." ”
"He's in the hospital? Who was talking to me just now? I muttered.
Could it be that he came back early in the morning to walk the fat dog?
I looked out the window and saw that the fat dog was gone......
"Since Aunt Yun is fine, let's start planning our next move." Pan Ying walked up to me with her shoulders crossed, looking scheming and strategizing, "How to sing the ghost show tomorrow night?" ”
"It's your business!"
I glanced at her, said hello to Ji Yayun and the two of them, and walked back.
Walking between the two houses, looking at the open space, and then at my lonely little building, I couldn't help but think of the words of the fat old man again.
The same building, if you rent it as No. 30, it will be fine, and if you rent it as No. 31, it will be fine?
'Are you him?' You're back? ’……
The frightened expression on the face of the fat old man before he disappeared was still in front of him.
More than twenty years ago, someone rented No. 31, and that person also appeared in front of this clearing wearing my current moon-white robe.
Who is he?
Something happened to him...... What happened?
I suddenly remembered the black-and-white photo that was a relic......
When I got home and changed my clothes, I called Dou Dabao and asked him to come over early tomorrow morning with the Wubao umbrella and bring some things from the shop by the way.
In the evening, Ji Yayun and the others cooked a meal and asked me to go over to eat.
Sang Lan asked me about her aunt again, saying that she and Pan Ying decided to sleep with her aunt tonight.
Ji Yayun and I glanced at each other, but we didn't know what to say.
In retrospect, before waking up from the dream, Ji Yayun had obviously woken up and recognized me. But she didn't know what had happened before.
I guess she, like me, suddenly realized that it was not an ordinary dream, but she didn't know how to explain it to others.
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
I pulled out my phone, glanced at the screen, and picked it up with a frown.
"Hey, I'm Gao Zhan, and Er Yetun has an accident again......"
After hanging up the phone, I got up and walked out.
……
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village in Eryetun, I was a little confused.
"Why are people from the city bureau here?"
I got out of the car, and was looking at the license plates of several police cars in a daze, Dashuang ran over, wiping my sweat while pulling me to the direction of the stage, "Brother Xu, go over quickly, something big has happened, and people are coming to the city." ”
"What's so strange about people from the city......" I saw that his face was pale and frightening, and his face was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and he felt a little wrong, "Why are you sweating so much?" Uncomfortable, huh? ”
"I didn't ...... No! Dashuang shook his head, lowered his head and walked forward quickly, "Hurry up!" ”
When he came to the outside of yesterday's theater, his big double body shook violently, stopped and said:
"Brother Xu, I'm still an intern, I can't help...... I won't go in. ”
"Are you alright?" I looked at him suspiciously.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Dashuang shook his head, turned around, and walked to the side with a somewhat vague step.
The moment he turned around, I seemed to see two rows of red marks on one side of his neck.
I was just about to stop him, when I heard someone in the theater shout:
"Xu woe! In! ”
Following the sound and seeing a few familiar faces, I didn't care about thinking about it anymore, and hurriedly walked over.
"Team Guo, Team Zhao, you're here."
I nodded to Guo Sen and Zhao Qi, looked at the shed inside suspiciously, and immediately understood why they were here.
Seeing Sun Lu standing aside, I glanced at him and asked him to go over together.
As soon as I walked into the theater inside, a white coat with his back to me said:
"Senior brother, should I say that you have a little back, or should I say that this is your retribution for betraying my mother?"
I walked up to Ma Li and said with a weak heart while putting on my gloves:
"Sister Li, don't do this, didn't I explain it to you......"
"Sensei nonsense! Hurry up and get to work! ”
"Haven't you seen it all......"
Before I could finish speaking, Ma Li roared at me:
"Who's in charge here? We happened to be passing by the neighborhood and received the nearest police! ”
I didn't say anything more, motioned for Sun Lu to open the test box, took out his tools, and stepped forward to examine the hedgehog-like corpse carefully......
Nearly an hour later, Mary pulled me aside, took off her gloves and mask, glared at me and asked:
"Needless to say, the time of death, what is the cause of death?"
I take off my mask:
"There were 16 penetrating wounds on the deceased's body, and the one that directly led to the death was penetrated from the left chest and the back was peeking through...... A wooden stick. ”
Ma Li looked at me and nodded, and threw the gloves and mask into my arms: "Okay, okay, my mother has been annoyed enough lately, you can deal with it yourself when you come." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out quickly.
"I remember that our senior sister wasn't so irritable before?" Sun Lu asked, carrying my shoulder.
I shook my head suddenly, "I guess it just so happens that the eldest aunt is here." ”
"What nonsense?" Guo Sen walked over from the side.
I don't know if it's the lighting or whatever, but I think his face is darker than before.
Guo Sen said: "We had just finished dispatching the police in the neighborhood and rushed over after receiving instructions from the center. There is still work in the bureau, so you can handle it yourself. ”
As he spoke, he lifted his feet and walked out.
After taking two steps, he turned his head and pointed at Zhao Qi and said, "Zhao Qi, you stay and deal with the matter here with Lao Gao." ”
After saying that, he actually trotted out.
I looked at his back and couldn't help muttering, "Why is Lao Guo so irritable?" ”
"The case of the general damage to the medical school is tightly pressed, so it's no wonder that he is not under much pressure!" Zhao Qi stepped forward and said.
I looked at Zhao Qi and blinked:
"What about Sister Li? Hasn't she always been out of business? ”
Zhao Qi rolled his eyes for no reason, and said vaguely: "If you change someone else's business, Lao Guo will be criticized, and she will see the hell when she is in a good mood." ”
Sun Lu leaned over and said, "Eh, Team Zhao, what you said is very informative, could it be that Senior Sister Ma has a relationship with the 'black-faced detective'?" ”
"Ahem......"
Gao Zhan on the side coughed twice, stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Qi's shoulders and whispered to me:
"You all know each other, so you don't need me to introduce you. The matter of Eryetun is not ordinary, I have made a selective report to the above, and Zhao Qi will follow up on this case with us. ”
I nodded.
It is a normal procedure for a lower-level department to apply for assistance from a higher level when it encounters a difficult case.
The matter of the second master tun I talked to him in a few words, and I really have to deal with it, I don't know how big the black cauldron is on it.
I glanced at the dead body in the theater next door that was stuck there with more than a dozen ash poles, and asked Gao Zhan in a low voice: What's the situation?
Gao Zhan looked at me and said word by word: The village chief's family is not satisfied with yesterday's events, so they have to sing it again today, and as soon as the gong is opened, the person will die.
