The First Evolution

Fang Linyan said simply:

"I don't know where his old house is. I have traced some information about Qizai's death. Is it convenient for you to take me there?"

Xiao Zhou said:

"Okay, but..."

Fang Linyan didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and said simply:

"At seven o'clock tomorrow morning, I will drive to pick you up. You can ask for leave and send me the address of the place where we will meet."

After finishing speaking, Fang Linyan hung up the phone. After thinking about it, he felt that he still needed to gain the girl's trust, so he took pictures of the police files that Gessen sent him and sent them to her one by one.

Sure enough, after seeing these internal information marked top secret, Xiao Zhou also happily replied to Fang Linyan with a good word.

***

At 6:30 the next morning, Fang Linyan left the hotel and drove an Accord specially found for them to the agreed place.

This half-new Accord looks unremarkable in appearance. Some taxis even use this model. However, this one was specially modified after Fang Linyan requested it. After turning on the nitrogen switch next to it, it The explosive power can be said to be outstanding, even being able to leave even a god of war like GTR in the dust.

This time, Fang Linyan did not choose to travel in groups, because he wanted to take care of Xiao Zhou's feelings. At the same time, he did not want his own factors to interfere too much in her life. After all, Fang Linyan now feels guilty in his heart. :

Qizai's death was probably related to him. If he hadn't met him, he would still be alive and well.

It can be seen that it is not a good thing for him to be too involved in Xiao Zhou's life.

After arriving at the agreed intersection, Fang Linyan arrived fifteen minutes early. He got out of the car and ordered a bowl of ham pasta on the side of the road, adding a glass of pineapple oil.

The ham penne is delicious. It is made of macaroni and chicken soup with ham and corn. It warms the whole body while drinking it. The ice-fire pineapple oil that Fang Linyan wants is to put a piece of cold butter inside the grilled pineapple bun and bite it in one bite. The combination of hot and cold tastes great.

While he was eating pineapple buns, he saw Xiao Zhou standing at the intersection and looking around. Fang Linyan hurriedly waved to her and asked her to get in the car.

Fang Linyan's driving skills are definitely much better than those of ordinary taxi drivers.

In addition, the vehicle was also modified and drove quickly and steadily. It only took a little more than two hours to arrive at Qizai's hometown in the countryside.

Xiao Zhou didn't seem to have been here a few times. After looking around for a while, he determined that Qizai's house was a dilapidated and old brick house. Fortunately, although Qizai's father was still in jail at this time, Others know that he will come back one day, otherwise, this house in the country will not be saved.

The two parked the car and found that the door was locked, and there was a thick layer of dust on the lock. Apparently no one had been there for a long time. And although this big lock seems to be of good quality, why is it so difficult to get Fang Linyan who has a metallic touch?

He was about to open the lock, but saw Xiao Zhou go around to the back, and then found a key from somewhere, and opened the lock directly. Qizai should have told her where the key was placed. .

After entering the house, a dark and damp smell immediately hit his face. Not only that, the smell was also mixed with an indescribable stench. Xiao Zhou was washed away by the smell, and he immediately turned pale and retched twice.

Fang Linyan waved his hand to her, and then motioned Xiao Zhou to retreat to the back. After taking two steps forward, he discovered that there was a large wooden basin in the center of the hall. The stench was emanating from the basin. The things were completely rotten and very disgusting.

But it could be vaguely seen from the remaining fur that it originally contained a black dog and a rooster. There was a bowl next to it, and the blood in it had dried up.

As Fang Linyan walked over, he heard a "buzz" sound, and a large black mass of mosquitoes and flies rose up from the basin. There were a large number of squirming white cuties inside. The key is that Fang Linyan waved his hand nonchalantly to drive away the mosquitoes and flies. , squatting next to the wooden basin and observing carefully for a while...

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhou almost collapsed and ran away from the door, making a sound of retching. Fang Linyan said thoughtfully:

"Just wait for me outside and I'll check it out myself."

Xiao Zhou felt relieved after hearing this, and hurriedly exited the door. He took a few deep breaths to regain his composure.

The layout of this old house in the countryside is actually very simple. When you enter the main door, you will face the main room. Directly opposite the door is a shrine. This is the dining room, living room, and place for worship.

The room on the left side of the door is where the elders live, and the room on the right is where the juniors live.

Fang Linyan first went to look at the place where his elders lived, and found that the walls were completely empty, with only a half-collapsed canopy bed. The room on the right was obviously more popular, with posters of female celebrities on the walls and mats on the bed. There is a wardrobe and a table.

Fang Linyan's eyes fell on a plastic bag next to him. There were some remnants in it. He walked over and took a look and found that it was a small ingot wrapped in tinfoil, currency issued by Tiandi Bank, and half a piece of ingot. Broken yellow money! !

After pondering for a while, Fang Linyan walked out and asked Xiao Zhou:

"Does Qizai have any familiar goddesses or Feng Shui masters?"

After hearing this, Xiao Zhou said:

"I really don't know about this. By the way...before the accident, he chased after Long Bo and talked to him several times, but he usually doesn't say hello to Long Bo."

Fang Linyan said:

"Who is Long Bo?"

Xiao Zhou said:

"He is a customer who often comes to the store to eat. He likes to bet on horses and believes in Feng Shui."

Fang Linyan took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out:

"Very good, I think we have to discover the truth of the matter. Let's go find Long Bo."

So the two of them continued to fight back to the city. Although Long Bo didn't come to the store to eat noodles in the past two days, most of the customers who came to the store were neighbors who had eaten here for decades. Know the root and cause.

As soon as I heard that I needed to see Uncle Long for something, an enthusiastic person immediately came forward to tell me the address.

After finding Long Bo, Fang Linyan found that the old man's words were a little untrue, but he didn't talk nonsense, so he took Xiao Zhou away directly.

However, Fang Linyan immediately called several members of the heavy eucalyptus team to question the old man. He was immediately dumbfounded. When he saw the firearms, handcuffs, and police ID in front of him, the old man was also stunned. I was honest, and then I said it clearly like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

It turned out that Long Bo met a young woman some time ago and she boasted that she could help get the medicine to give birth to a son. However, after receiving the money, the young woman took the medicine and not only did she fail to conceive her son, she had vomiting and diarrhea and went straight into the ICU, almost throwing it away. Half a life, of course I will have trouble with Long Bo afterwards.

Fortunately, this young woman and Long Bo met by chance, and there was really no one who could find Long Bo.

Coincidentally, she also knew Qizai, so Long Bo was knocked off a lot of money by Qizai for this matter. Today, Fang Linyan brought someone to the door unexpectedly. Of course, Long Bo felt guilty and had a lot of untruths in his words.

At this time, a group of people got the confession and found out that before the accident, Qizai seemed to be in a daze, his eyes were black, and he was completely lost. When he usually chatted with Long Bo, he asked him what to do if he encountered evil spirits.

Because they were acquaintances who looked up but could not see each other, Long Bo told Qi Chai that there was a very effective Wong Tai Sin Temple, but he didn’t know what happened to Qi Zai later.

The next group of people immediately rushed to the Wong Tai Sin Temple. After some inquiries, they confirmed that Qizai had indeed been here two months ago. He said that he was haunted by resentful ghosts and was very distressed. The temple gave him three talismans. , it is said that after being burned and swallowed in water, it can ward off all ghosts and evil spirits.

Of course, these people also brought back some so-called spiritual talismans to Fang Linyan.

Fang Linyan looked at the "spiritual talisman". It was made of yellow paper, with a pattern like an edict written on it like a ghostly talisman in cinnabar...

At this point, Fang Linyan easily restored the truth of the matter...Qizai must have indeed encountered some horrible things involving ghosts. He went to work intermittently either for women or because of this incident. thing.

For this matter, he got black dog blood and rooster blood at home to ward off evil spirits, but it was of no use. He must have heard someone say that he bought paper money and paper ingots to burn to fulfill his wishes, but it turned out to be no use.

On the day of the Ghost Festival, Qizai must have encountered the worst attack of ghosts. He panicked and ran around. When he was at the beach, Qizai must have been forced to a dead end. At this time, he no longer had the conditions to make talisman water. , he took out a spiritual talisman from Huang Tai Sin Temple and swallowed it directly.

This is the origin of the strange yellow slurry in the stomach that Zhou Xiaoming discovered. Unfortunately, this thing probably didn't play a big role - in the end, Qizai sank into the sea and died.

After analyzing the future dragon's veins, Fang Linyan did not expect that the truth of the matter would change in a supernatural direction! To be honest, this makes Fang Linyan find it a bit difficult to accept, but abandoning all the impossibilities, the remaining answer is this, and Fang Linyan also feels that there is no way...

Fang Linyan pondered for a while, and then he felt that he had to ask Xiao Zhou in the end. After all, it seemed that Qizai must have caused the family trouble, and Xiao Zhou was also his real girlfriend. It is estimated that no one in the world knew better than Xiao Zhou. Qizai’s situation.

After inviting Xiao Zhou out, Fang Linyan told her everything he had investigated so far. After hearing this, Xiao Zhou had the same reaction as Fang Linyan at first, finding it unbelievable, but after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Zhou had the same reaction as Fang Linyan. After that, Xiao Zhou had a feeling of "that's it"...and then he started sobbing and crying.

Fang Linyan waited patiently for her to vent her emotions and then said:

"Qizai hid this matter from you, probably because he loves you very much, so he doesn't want to involve you in this matter. What if he told you what happened to him, and the thing that haunted him comes again? What should I do if I fall in love with you?"

"Think carefully about whether Qizai has shown anything related to this in normal times. It is impossible for this thing to come to Qizai for no reason. Think about it carefully."

Xiao Zhou was stunned for a while. At this time, some details that were usually inconspicuous gradually emerged. After thinking about it, she suddenly said:

"If you didn't say it, I wouldn't have noticed it yet, but when you said that, I suddenly remembered something."

"First of all, the Anli Street in front of us has been rumored to be haunted a few months ago. It is said that many people eating late night snacks have seen dirty things wandering on the street. This thing usually has its head buried. , and its face can’t be seen clearly, anyone who sees it will become seriously ill.”

"Then Qizai did behave abnormally before the accident. He went to Zhiyouqiang's house three times with gifts."

"Fried fried chicken is strong?" Fang Linyan asked in confusion.

Xiao Zhou said:

"This guy is a street gangster, and he is very loud when he brags, but if he really encounters a serious situation where he is beaten or killed, he will escape faster than anyone else. He is not popular among the gangs that open pharmacies. Usually I can only do some petty theft on the street, or catch people from other places having sex."

"He died inexplicably a year ago, right in front of Anli Street."

When Xiao Zhou said this, Fang Linyan suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a person. There was a conflict between the two parties at that time. Zheyou Qiang was slapped by him, and then he died on the street for no apparent reason.

"Could it be that the cause and effect of this matter is here?"

Fang Linyan pondered in his heart:

"But something's still wrong. Every injustice has its own owner. What does that bastard have to do with Qizai? Even if he turns into a resentful ghost and doesn't seek revenge from his murderer, he should still come to me. After all, I beat him, how could I find Qizai?"

After pondering for a while, Fang Linyan said goodbye to Xiao Zhou, and then went to ask someone to investigate the situation of Zhejiang Qiang's family. The collected information made Fang Linyan feel more and more that something was wrong.

It turns out that some strange things happen frequently near Zhiyouqiang's home, such as hearing someone crying in the middle of the night, and people missing, etc. However, the missing people were two homeless people, so no one paid attention to them.

When I entered Zhiyouqiang's home to investigate, I found that his family had made a memorial tablet for him, and there were rice, dishes and other offerings in front of the tablet. This seemed normal but was somewhat unusual. After all, Zhejiang Before Johnson was born, his relationship with his family was not very good, and it had been a year since his death. The time that passed was not the time of the New Year and the 15th day of the Lunar New Year...

After discovering this series of doubts, Fang Linyan circled several points on the map. These points are places where haunting rumors frequently appear. For Fang Linyan, the most fearful thing is that there are no clues. If there are really any, Clues, he has no inhibitions.
