I picked up a ghost and took it home

Chapter 18 Crescent Well③

With the fall, the weather is getting a bit cold, and Ye Fan is still covered with a cool summer quilt, so he unconsciously covers the quilt very tightly when he sleeps, causing him to look like a silkworm baby wrapped in a cocoon——

Pang Guang stood alone in the yard for a while, did not hear any movement, and did not rush into the house. He called Ye Fan, but the phone rang, and the phone was immediately hung up.

"..." Pang Guang couldn't figure it out, so he entered the room with a cane, and then saw the big wooden bed in the living room with a simple and materialistic style in the 80s and the sleeping "silkworm baby" on the bed.Pang Guang was amused, he staggered over, sat down on the edge of the bed, and hit "Silkworm Baby" Ye Fan with his crutches.

But just after knocking, the crutch seemed to be entangled in something, unable to move left and right.Pang Guang then stared at the void, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Li?"

That's right, Ye Fan is living with a ghost named "Li Xuan", that ghost should be the one who opened the door for him, and that ghost should be the one who hung up on his phone.Although Pang Guang understood, if he didn't feel it so clearly, he still didn't believe in the existence of "Li Xuan".He took back his crutches and continued to ask, "Mr. Li, when will Brother Xiaoye get up?"

Vanity was vanity, and no one appeared to answer him.

So, as a guest, Pang Guang had to sit stiffly and wait.Waiting and waiting, he dropped his crutches and lay down next to Ye Fan.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the alarm clock rang.

Ye Fan opened his eyes at the same time he pressed the alarm clock, and saw Li Xuan sitting beside the bed, he greeted habitually, "Morning", and then found Li Xuan staring at the ground with a gloomy face, he got up suspiciously, Following Li Xuan's line of sight to the ground, he saw a young man who was snoring——

The young man has slightly messy natural curly hair, good facial features, frowning, and looks a little hostile. He wears a black suit and white shirt, and has a walking stick by his side, sleeping in someone else's house in the dark.

"Who is this..." Ye Fan felt familiar, but felt that he had never seen this person before, until his eyes fell on the man's splinted right leg again, and he called out uncertainly, "Pang... …team leader?"

Pang Guang sat up awkwardly, and immediately asked, "What, where did the case come from?"

"...Captain Pang, why are you here? You—" Ye Fan pondered for a while before continuing to ask, "I should have locked the door, how did you come in? Why did you sleep on the floor?"

Pang Guang didn't understand why he was lying on the ground. He grabbed his crutches and stood up with support——Pang Guang, who had been ravaged by the case before, had messy natural curly hair, unshaven beard, and dirty and old clothes. He is a 40-year-old rough man. He has cut his hair short and shaved his beard because he attended a funeral these two days. He wears a well-fitting suit, and immediately looks refreshed. He looks more than ten years younger and looks like a different person.

Pang Guang stretched out his hand and patted his face to wake him up, and then said, "I'm in a bad mood, I want to chat with you." Just after he finished speaking, the bedroom door slammed shut as if blown by a strong wind.

Ye Fan glanced at Li Xuan who entered the room aggressively, and smiled mischievously, "Roommate, you don't seem very happy."

The stupefied Pang Guang immediately came back to his senses, and asked in a low voice, "Did I... I disturbed your two-person world?"

"...Uh, not really..." Ye Fan didn't know how to answer these words. Li Xuan, no, Li Xuan, a ghost, was a bit uncertain in the first place, and Ye Fan himself rarely invited friends to his house. , so for Pang Guang's arrival, both Li Xuan and Ye Fan were quite surprised, but the "two-person world" is a bit inaccurate——

Ye Fan looked at Qingzi who was huddled in a corner of the living room.

Ever since Qingzi saw her rotting corpse outside the well that day, she has been devastated, squatting there every day, refusing to scream, and occasionally crying miserably for a while, so frightened that she almost wants to go crazy.

Ye Fan didn't know either, probably, the emotions of ghosts are so elusive.

"Is the case closed yet?" Ye Fan asked as he got up. There were no reports on the follow-up progress of the "Headless Corpse Case" in the recent newspapers. Probably because of the special nature of the case, public opinion control was carried out.But judging by Pang Guang's attire, he should have just returned from the funeral.

Pang Guang leaned on a cane and followed Ye Fan to the door of the bathroom, "That's right."

"...Captain Pang, I need to solve my physical problems." Ye Fan pointed to the toilet.

"Oh, please." Pang Guang grinned and turned his back, not intending to leave the bathroom door at all.

"..." Ye Fan bumped into the door, and unconsciously locked the door.

After washing up and walking out, Pang Guang was still waiting at the door, and followed Ye Fan all the way to the kitchen door, "Brother Xiaoye, why are you talking about this case so much trouble!"

Ye Fan didn't speak, but he could roughly understand Pang Guang's mood. So many people died, but the murderer was a dead person, or a dead person with a tragic life experience. No matter how he thought about it, he was not happy enough.But life is like this, how can there be so many happy moments?Two days ago, he went to Qingzi's house with Li Xuan, and saw that Qingzi's mother and younger brother—Qingzi's mother still didn't believe that Qingzi had been killed, refused to claim Qingzi's body, and refused to hold a funeral.He and Li Xuan saw it, and their hearts were sour.

In addition, Pang Guang is the chief person in charge of this case, and the family members of the victim and the perpetrator need him to deal with it. One can imagine the feeling that going to work every day is like going to a grave.

"Has the person who killed Fang Zhongwen been caught?" Ye Fan asked.

"I caught it earlier, but that person is already crazy."

Ye Fan felt that at this point, all the police could do had been done.He took out a piece of pork belly from the refrigerator, soaked it in warm water to defrost it, and prepared the vegetables skillfully, then changed the subject, "I'm having braised pork tonight, do you want to eat it with Captain Pang?"

Pang Guang was suddenly hungry, and he pressed his withered stomach, "It's been a long time since I had a proper meal." Seeing Ye Fan wearing a bear apron and looking virtuous in the kitchen, he suddenly asked, "Brother Xiaoye, Are you gay?"

Ye Fan was peeling potatoes, but the peeler slipped and almost peeled off a layer of skin. He looked at Pang Guang speechlessly, "Captain Pang, what are you talking about?"

"..." Pang Guang scratched his head in embarrassment, "I don't know, I just haven't seen a gay, and I heard Yuan Sen said that you are gay, so I'm curious."

Ye Fan sighed and buried himself in peeling potatoes, not wanting to explain.

Pang Guang coughed, pretending to be serious and silent for a while, but finally couldn't help his curiosity, he asked again, "I heard that Mr. Li, who lives with you, is very handsome?"

...No matter what kind of work a person does, no matter how crazy a person is at work, once they gossip, they are no different from ordinary people.Ye Fan thought to himself, but he didn't have the right to deny Li Xuan's beauty, so he said "oh".

Pang Guang's eyes lit up, and he asked decisively, "Then you two..."

"It's just a roommate." Ye Fan explained, but it was limited to this sentence.

Seeing that Ye Fan was like a iron plate, Pang Guang didn't want to ask any more, but he became more and more curious. He leaned against the kitchen door, looked up at the ceiling, and said thoughtfully, "I really want to see that Mr. Li."

At that time, the "Mr. Li" who was always remembered by "Captain Pang" was standing in the kitchen, staring at the pot of raw meat that was still thawing, poking it with his finger from time to time, seeing that the meat was still hard and inedible , and stared at Ye Fan.

"...Wait a minute." Ye Fan said helplessly, "Why are you staring at me? I'm not meat."

Pang Guang stood up sharply, staring at the void in front of Ye Fan, he waved his hand, "Mr. Li, are you there?"

Li Xuan turned around sullenly, flicked his sleeves and went back to the bedroom to read comics.

Ye Fan went to work, and Li Xuan took the passenger seat.Ever since Ye Fan was almost abducted and killed by someone a while ago——Unfortunately, Qingzi, a passenger, was imprisoned in a small dark room named "Gumiao Road-23", and his life was almost lost—Li Xuan So he followed Ye Fan to work without a doubt.

Whenever a customer wants to sit in the front row, Ye Fan can only explain apologetically, "Sorry, the front door is broken, please sit in the back." Once the three passengers were together, Ye Fan could only bite the bullet and say , "The front door is broken, so you can't get in the guests. Excuse me, the three of you. If the three of you are not in a hurry, just wait for the next one?"

All in all, I would rather not make money than neglect Li Xuan, the "Master Queen".Yes, the long-haired Li Xuan, no matter when he is occupying the sofa and eating meat, or when he is sitting motionless in the passenger seat and dozing off, he is full of style and full of kingly air.

At that moment, Pang Guang was about to open the door of the passenger seat, and Ye Fan was hesitating to speak, but Pang Guang had already keenly realized something, he immediately turned around and opened the door in the back row, and sat in with his legs up, talking heartlessly Li Xuan said hello: "Mr. Li, are you going to work too?"

"...Captain Pang, I'll see you off first, where are you going?" Ye Fan didn't like seeing Pang Guang recruit Li Xuan, because Pang Guang couldn't see, so he wasn't afraid, but he could see, Li Xuan He has been expressing his dislike for Pang Guang with a cold face, even very dislike, even worse than seeing Yuan Sen.

"Go back to the police station." Pang Guang stroked his full stomach and belched.For the first time, he knew that ghosts need to eat just like humans, instead of eating human flesh and drinking human blood, so when eating, although he saw Ye Fan laying out three sets of bowls and chopsticks, he didn't feel any sense of crisis at first, but when When he found that the meat in the basin was decreasing at a speed invisible to the naked eye, he was angry, and then took out the attitude of facing the murderer, and quickly participated in the fight.

Almost when Ye Fan finished a mouthful of soup and vegetables, and went to pick up the meat, the basin was already empty.

"You guys..." Ye Fan looked at Li Xuan, who was still chewing with his bulging mouth, and then at Pang Guang, who had fierce eyes, and sighed, "You guys also eat some vegetables and drink some soup."

Afterwards, Pang Guang asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiaoye, it turns out that ghosts want to eat, not human flesh."

Ye Fan's hands trembled when he heard it, and he quickly "hushed". Seeing that Li Xuan was lazily lying on the sofa to digest his food, he didn't seem to have heard what Pang Guang said, so he relaxed a little, and said nervously, "Don't mention 'human flesh', don't let me He thinks of 'human flesh', and everything else is easy to talk about."

Hearing Pang Guang say that he was going back to the police station, Ye Fan turned the car around and asked strangely, "I've been busy for so long and finally closed the case, why don't you go home and rest?"

"Don't mention it, it's dark at home, and it's not as comfortable as the sofa in the office." Pang Guang leaned on the seat carelessly with a bachelor's unrestrained expression on his face.

Ye Fan said, "Captain Pang doesn't have a girlfriend? It's almost time to start a family."

"Run away." Pang Guang yawned, and added disapprovingly, "There was one before, who thought I was not a person when I was busy, so he ran away."

"...You are very busy at work." Ye Fan changed the subject, "How is your leg?"

Ye Fan always thought deeply that Pang Guang fell suddenly and broke his leg, and he was the one who restrained him.

"...I don't know, I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to have a look."

Li Xuan was dozing off in his seat, but suddenly opened his eyes.

A scream came from the dark alley beside the road, "Ah, head, head!" Immediately afterwards, a man ran out of the alley in a daze and rushed straight onto the road.

Ye Fan slammed on the brakes urgently, the tires rubbed against the ground hard, and there was a harsh sound, the car stopped abruptly in front of the man, with the bright lights shining on, the man was terrified, his body swayed, and he fell down.
