Chapter Seventeen: Corpse in the Wall
"Ziyi? What's the place here?"
The thing behind spoke, his tone was not gentle but not cold. I would never forget the familiar ones that turned into ashes. It was silver, why did they come? Shouldn't it be Liancheng? I really wanted to ask, but I was so scared that I couldn't speak at all, and just stood stupidly in my original posture.
I could see nothing in the darkness, but I could feel the silver. He took two steps and walked from behind me to my side. He reached out and patted my cheek: "I'm still stunned, why, I'm scared? Are you still going to catch ghosts? You're too timid."
His joking tone dissipated a lot of the terrifying and strange atmosphere, and I was very ungrateful. But I still couldn't speak and couldn't move my feet. At least I knew there was a ghost and a biting corpse here. Although Yinzi had the absolute strength to kill them, the bite still made me unable to let go.
"Team Ten, has Officer Jun found it?" There was a sound of footsteps behind him, no less than three people. A flashlight flashed in. I felt someone walking behind me. He held the flashlight and shone it around in the room, then landed on top of my head, and asked in a trembling voice, "Officer Jun! You! Why are you... standing under the body!"
Under the corpse! I suddenly raised my head, right? I was under Luo Wei's corpse at this moment. Its neck was penetrated by the iron hook on the ceiling. All the blood flowing down the iron hook dripped on my shoulders. I almost fainted. I raised my foot and wanted to leave, but when the pain was under my feet, it rushed towards the earth. Yinzi was quick-eyed and his hands were almost holding me. He snatched the flashlight from the little detective and shone it on the corpse, and I looked over.
Luo Wei's body was just hung on the iron hook. It was not the one I saw that it was twisted like a rag. His body was very good, except for the neck. But how could this be possible? It could not be an illusion. My feet are still hurting now.
"Don't move the body for the time being, block the building. Let's go back now, and let's wait until tomorrow during the day."
"It's the team leader." The detective saluted Yinzi and went out to instruct others.
"What's wrong with you?" I was silent and stiff, and I helped the detective Yinzi away before asking me with a little concern. He looked me up and down with a flashlight.
The flashlight went down from my pale face and finally stopped on my left calf. There was blood. Wearing shorts, there was a piece of flesh missing on my feet. Yinzi let go of my hand and let me stand firm. He squatted down to check the wound on my calf. I lowered my head and looked at Yinzi's head. His head was well maintained, black and soft. He was wearing a black shirt. Looking down, you could see a fair neck. He was neither fat nor thin, and had a slender figure and masculine explosive power. This was the first time I looked down at Yinzi from above. I had to admit that no matter where the angle, this man was extremely outstanding. No one could match his appearance, figure, temperament, ability, wealth, status.
He checked very carefully and gently pressed the wound with his fingers a few times, which made me take a breath and almost fall to the ground. It seemed that the situation was not good. He looked at me for a long time and tried not to hurt me.
Just when I thought he would watch it for a longer time, he stood up and helped me walk outside: "It's nothing big, I'm just bitten by a ghost who has just died less than half an hour ago. There is not much yin energy. When I go back, I'll wash it with cinnabar for you."
Everyone else outside left, and only silver and I were left in the old apartment. My feet were bitten and I couldn't use any strength. Most of my body was supported by silver. This was the influence of the yin energy. This was the first time I was hurt by a ghost.
After leaving that room, I finally recovered from my chaotic world and found my voice. I asked Yinzi in confusion: "It was Luo Wei who bit me, why was it Luo Wei? There was also a ghost? When I went upstairs, I clearly felt that there was a ghost here, and it was absolutely impossible for it to be Luo Wei."
"Don't think about it, you're tired today, go back and have a good rest now." Yinzi didn't take on my topic, but instead distracted me.
Yinzi helped me leave. This building was no longer as gloomy as when I came, but the corridor was still pitch black. We groped and walked carefully on the stairs step by step, for fear that if we accidentally stepped on the air, we would just roll to the bottom floor. There was someone who accompanied me and I felt much more at ease when I came here.
"Bang—" When the second turntable was just as I raised my right foot and was about to step on it, there was a loud noise behind me. I felt the silver holding me turn around immediately after that loud bang, and never looked back. I also turned around curiously to look.
The dark corridor entrance was illuminated by a flashlight, the lights flickered, and there was a "puzzle" sound of sparks. I saw a young man wearing a down jacket with a pale face standing there looking at us, looking at me, he showed a gloomy smile to me, and I suddenly felt a chill. Next to him was Luo Wei, who was twisted into a ball like a rag. Luo Wei grinned at me, his eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment, afraid that he would rush up to bite me like before, so I subconsciously wanted to retreat but was pulled by silver. I sweated coldly. The young man wearing a down jacket smiled at me again, and then the flashlight flashed and the two ghosts disappeared.
There was no cold wind or strange sound around, but fear had already taken root in my heart.
"Okay, let's go."
Yinzi had turned around and he looked at me calmly. I looked at the entrance of the corridor with some uncertainty and fear: "They..."
"Let's go, don't worry about them, the ghost who bites you has been caught by the down jacket. Now we'll go back to deal with your wounds."
I don’t doubt Yinzi’s words, so I nodded and we opened a unit of the building together. Yinzi and I hired a taxi on the road and went to my house together.
I just left my head behind when I was sitting in a taxi. I looked at Yinzi and looked out the window. This is my best friend. Every time he was in the most dangerous time, he would always appear to solve things that I couldn't solve for me. It would be fortunate to have such a friend in life, and my useless gentleman probably accumulated virtue for several lifetimes.
After getting off the car, Yinzi skillfully opened the door and turned on the light to help me on the sand. Then he went to the warehouse. In addition to the things I usually bought, there were many things in the warehouse that were bought and kept in my house. The most of them were cinnabar and yellow paper, which were exorcist.
He worked hard for half an hour before he helped me get the wound. Even Wan Ke from the upstairs was awakened, but he did not go downstairs, but he asked a question at the turntable and returned to the room.
Yinzi took two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and sat with me on the sand. He tilted his head and asked in confusion: "You don't want to change careers and become a chef in the refrigerator, right?"
He made a joke, but I was not so happy about this rare joke. I raised my eyelids and looked at him in a depressed manner, feeling that saying something to him was a waste of time.
He laughed out loud, got up, turned off the lights in the hall, sat next to me, and moved the fan in front of us a little further away. He did not turn on the big ceiling fan, and fanned too much at night to be bad for his health, otherwise he would have a headache tomorrow. He only opened a small fan that I bought at the street stall for 25 yuan.
On the sand, in the darkness, I felt a place half a meter away from me, and he sat there. His tired voice came from the darkness: "Stop, it's three o'clock, you still have a case to investigate tomorrow."
"Just put me on the sand? I have a bed." I asked unhappily, but unfortunately I couldn't leave.
"Do you want your team leader to sleep in the sand? You don't know the way of treating guests at all. Sleeping in the sand with you is to give you face. Less nagging, sleeping in the sand, or you will throw you out." He was not very close to me or far away. His voice softened, as if he was about to fall asleep soon.
"This is my home, why do you throw me out?" I asked retortly.
"I am the team leader. If you talk too much, write me a review."
"asshole!"
In the end, I ended the long conversation with my unwillingness. I don’t know who slept first and had no dreams all night. Although I only had one or two hours, I still slept well.
At 7:19:43 on August 29, 2o1o, I rolled from the sand to the ground and finally woke up from sleep. The owner of the first face I saw when I woke up was sitting one meter away from me. He seemed to be smiling, and his eyes were filled with gloating that could not be concealed.
I have to admit that cinnabar is very useful, and my feet don’t feel any pain at all. I quickly got up from the ground. I glared at the man and spoke viciously: “What are you looking at! Isn’t it all your fault? If you help me to the room, can I roll from the sand to the ground?”
He was not angry, but instead breathed a sigh of relief, looked at me and said, "I feel energetic, it seems that it's good."
"It smells so good, Officer Jun, did you cook the meal? Didn't you say yesterday? Huh? It turned out that there was a guest at home! Then this gentleman should have made this, right?" Just as Yinzi and I looked at each other, Wanke upstairs came down. Last night, he just stood on the turntable so he didn't see Yinzi looking for something in the warehouse.
When I heard Wanke's voice, Yinzi and I immediately returned to my usual style. I sat down on the sand and didn't look back. I tried to calm down the anger caused by Yinzi just now, and Yinzi had already returned to his former coldness and distantness and looked down on everything.
Wanke just went downstairs to look at the table, then gave Yinzi a thumbs up: "That's great, sir, the food is really good. Are you a chef in a restaurant?"
My eyes twitched. Yinzi didn't have the idea of speaking or opening his mouth, but just nodded casually. I instantly felt the veins on my forehead bulging, and said half-jokingly: "You can't get up because you asked about the fragrance, right?"
"Smart, I haven't had a good meal since I left Nanjing, and I can finally have a normal meal."
"You guys eat," Yinzi stood up and walked towards the door, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he disappeared at the door without looking back. I glanced at Wanke and sighed quietly. There was no doubt that Yinzi left because of this guy. But this guy still unconsciously leaned his head at the door and asked at me: "Why does your friend feel autistic? Do you know what he has to do?"
What else can I say? I can only barely say a few words for Yinzi: "That's how he is, just be used to it."
