Escape from the Ghost

The autumn rain is bleak, and it will be more and more shady.Floating in the air, it was as if a dense layer of needles had been stuck firmly on the face.

The three ghosts dragged a long chain and walked slowly along the path lit by dim street lamps. At the end of the chain was Jia Yong's pale and lifeless face. It doesn't move at all, and its appearance is almost uglier than that of a dead person.

Only one meter away, it was Song Yi who had just ran out of the teaching building.He stopped, looking at this scene stiff.

Jia Yong was chained, and he didn't even turn his head when he passed by.When Song Yi came to his senses and tried to catch up again, his legs were as heavy as lead and could not be lifted.

Drops of cold sweat slid down his neck directly into the collar, and the cold touch rubbed against the logo on the back of the collar, making him feel a little itchy and painful.

The distance between him and Jia Yong was getting farther and farther. When the red figure was completely submerged in the darkness, he suddenly woke up and started to chase forward.

Song Yi took big strides, stepping on the rainwater with "slapping" noises.The calf was splashed and stuck to the leg, which was very uncomfortable.

Three steps... two steps... one step...

Song Yi stretched out his hand, and was about to grab Jia Yong's shoulder. A huge momentum ran through the entire arm along the palm, and burst into the whole body.He was bounced out by the force, and fell to the ground with a "bang".The whole back and forearm were in hot pain, and he struggled to get up from the ground, regardless of his torn body.

As soon as Song Yi looked up, he saw a man in black robe holding a halberd, standing beside Jia Yong and looking at him coldly.

The gloomy sky seems to be able to swallow all the weak strength, and the familiar feeling of powerlessness instantly disintegrates the last strength. In contrast, even the struggle has become lingering.

Song Yi clenched his fists and looked at the black-robed man viciously.Who are you?No matter what power?I will definitely pick you out.

He blinked, and the whole road was empty, only the street lamps on both sides were dimly lit.

The third teaching building outside the grove, because it faces the back mountain, is also next to an abandoned construction site.When there are no classes, few people come.The dew is heavy in late autumn, and it is a rainy night. Today should have been more deserted than usual.

But at this moment, the human voice was noisy all night.

The entire open space at the entrance of the teaching building was pulled up with a blue and white warning tape. Three police cars were parked on the side of the road, and their red and blue police lights flashed back and forth, emitting a dazzling light.People in uniform came and went in a hurry, and several plainclothes also looked dignified.

On the other side of the road, there is a temporary canopy.

Under the shed, the staff of the forensic team were collecting evidence carefully around Jia Yong's body, recording in detail the angle, position, and stress of the body, and checking the data based on the data to ask for a guess on the cause of death.

but……

As long as it is an experienced veteran detective, it can be seen at a glance that it is suicide.

At this time, Song Yi was wrapped in a large towel, shivering while hiding in the passenger seat of the police car.His lips were pale, and the roots of his teeth were chattering uncontrollably.He clearly saw through the car window that the scruffy police officer Xia Houyong, who had met once in the hospital, was talking with Mr. Li, an ancient history teacher in a neat suit.

Song Yi closed her eyes, forcing herself to turn her thoughts back to before the police car arrived at the scene of the crime.

When the man in black disappeared, he immediately turned around and ran to the center of the open space to look for Jia Yong.After walking a few steps, he saw a red figure lying motionless on the west side of the teaching building. He was about to step forward when he was suddenly stopped by a person.

"Don't go there!"

Song Yi turned his head and saw Li Zhaoling walking out with his hands in his pockets under the projection of the street lamp. Although he couldn't see the expression on the man's face clearly, his whole figure had an indescribable calmness, and said, "I'm calling the police!"

Song Yi was shocked and stood there without moving.

Li Zhaoling got closer and closer, gradually revealing his face, the rain fell on his shoulders without any trace of wetness, and the gold-rimmed glasses set off his sharp-edged face, making him look even sharper.

Song Yi froze and did not speak, Li Zhaoling spoke first: "Why are you here?"

He didn't know how to answer for a moment, he said hesitantly: "I..."

Li Zhaoling interrupted abruptly: "The police will be here soon."

The affirmative tone and unyielding attitude forced Song Yi's brain to work rapidly. Only half an hour ago, he separated from this man in the grove. Why did he appear so mysteriously now?Is it too much of a coincidence?

Song Yi stared at Li Zhaoling's eyes, trying to find out the truth, but Li Zhaoling just looked at him, determined and calm.So, the two stood without moving, and waited until the police arrived at the scene.

Within 5 minutes, the police car drove in along the west gate of the back mountain of Mucheng University, and stopped at the door of the third teaching building. Xia Houyong, whom he had seen in the hospital, got out of the car.

Then, the second car, the third car, and soon there were more and more people at the scene...

Song Yi lowered his head, inserted his fingers into the root of the hair and scratched fiercely.

Quarreling during the day and fighting at night, how could he explain to the police that he had nothing to do with Jia Yong's death?Also, why did I appear in the third teaching building at night where no one came?

He didn't understand, why did the person who was clearly showing his teeth and claws just now jumped off the building without warning?And... why can he see the scene when Jia Yong committed suicide?Or... because he saw it, Jia Yong must die.

One question after another made him feel that he might be suffocated all the time. Remorse, shock, sadness, and complex emotions were like a huge whirlpool drowning in his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, making him almost out of breath.Sweat, mixed with rain, was knotted wet with the hair.From the very beginning, Song Yi could feel a rancid smell all over his body.

He sneered, hating his funny compassion, not only did not completely save people, but also got involved perfectly in the case of "suspected suicide of a college student from a prestigious university", it was so awesome that he was going to die!

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, and I searched carefully, but my thoughts were like a small fish that couldn't catch its tail.Song Yi raised his head again, Li Zhaoling outside the window was still as cold as ice, but Xia Houyong's eyes were faintly mischievous.

Do they know each other?

As soon as this idea popped up, everything fell apart like a puppet with a broken joint, and slowly began to assemble again.Song Yi leaned firmly on the car seat and watched calmly.

Xia Houyong stood next to the warning strip, looked at the cruel man in front of him who looked like a dog, closed the book in his hand with a "chuckle", stuffed it into the hand of the little chubby guy in uniform next to him, and said, "Send it to your captain!" In the past, I told him it was suicide, as for the reason..." He glanced at Song Yi in the car from a distance, and continued, "Let him coordinate, the child is still young, so it's none of his business."

Gao Xiaoshuai held the notebook and carefully looked at the stubble-faced uncle in front of him. He really couldn't compare him with the leader of the special case team of the police force's mysterious organization who can professionally identify all kinds of bizarre suicides and accidental deaths. Xia Houyong got in touch.At this moment, his admiration has long been completely emptied by the unscrupulous appearance of the person in front of him.

Gao Xiaoshuai glanced at Xia Houyong in disgust, and walked away silently.

Xia Houyong glared at Xiaopangdun dissatisfiedly, and sighed: "Young people nowadays are really impetuous!"

Li Zhaoling frowned and said, "Are you sure it's legal to talk to me alone like this?"

Xia Houyong picked up the cigarette case, bit out a cigarette, lit it and said, "I'm the only one in this group. When I'm busy taking notes on the spot, who says it's against the rules?"

A black shadow passed in front of him, Xiahou Yong was just about to hide when Li Zhaoling quietly pinched the cigarette in his hand, extinguished the cigarette butt, flicked it, and flew to the trash can.

"Ah? You..."

Li Zhaoling said: "I'll match you with a man, neither ugly nor handsome. A woman is ready-made, and you don't want to use it yourself."

"Are you unreasonable?" Xia Houyong stared at Li Zhaoling, the corners of his mouth twitching in anger, "How dare you use someone like Su Ningzi? The older you get, the more weird your temper becomes. Women who have been left for thousands of years, what are they all about?" Hobbies? That bed | I have a hardworking companion... Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable. Even if you are a master physician, the people of the Su Clan in the West Palace have already been defeated by her!"

Li Zhaoling rolled his eyes at him, and asked seriously: "You won't be still a virgin, will you?"

When Xia Houyong heard it, his old face turned red instantly, and he pointed at Li Zhaoling with trembling hands and said, "You...who told you that I am? I am a dignified soul envoy, and I have only been here for two days. If I am good, I will not learn, but I will slap my tongue when I learn It's a big deal, are you still ashamed to be a teacher? Wait..." He suddenly calmed down, "We have known each other for a long time, and I have never seen anyone beside you?"

Li Zhaoling's face turned green immediately.

Xia Houyong quickly put away his hippie smile and said, "Why are you here?" He deliberately took two steps forward, and said in a low voice, "Are you really afraid that no one will suspect you if you take away the soul and report it yourself? Look down on those people from the Municipal Bureau, their eyes can shine brightly, and they will pick you up in minutes."

Li Zhaoling stretched out his hand, gracefully pushed down the frame of the mirror, and looked at Xia Houyong with a calm expression on his face, saying, "You're a handyman, you can't settle this matter, so what's the use of you".

Xia Houyong understood it at a glance, and said angrily, "Okay, you're done! By the way, have you seen that kid in the car? What happened to his eyes? Also, he has Yinluan's blueprint in his hand."

Li Zhaoling's eyes sank for a moment.

Xia Houyong reached out and grabbed Li Zhaoling's arm. The sleeves of his suit were ruthlessly squeezed into his wide palms and pleated. Even his eyebrows were wrinkled together. He said with a serious expression, "Is he coming back? The host is back." , the rebirth of the dead?"

Li Zhaoling held Xia Houyong's wrist with a little force, and Xia Houyong was so painful that his face was deformed immediately.In a moment, Li Zhaoling's calm and gentle gaze was completely closed. Behind the high bridge of the nose, there were a pair of deep and cold eyes, with a hint of fierceness in his brows, and said, "That kid...is not worthy..."

"You... Oops! Let go, someone is coming."

Someone not far away yelled loudly: "Old Xia, we are ready to close the team! Forensic and surveillance investigations are all fine, just like what you said, have you finished asking?"

"No... Whoops!"

Li Zhaoling let go of his hand immediately. Xia Houyong looked at the little police officer who was walking by with a smile, put his arm on Li Zhaoling's shoulders with a smile, and said, "It will be fine soon. If I don't meet a friend, I didn't expect to have such a cultural quality." To be able to sneak into a key university to become a teacher, do you think it’s a surprise or not?”

"Heh..." Li Zhaoling forced a smile, and said through gritted teeth, "If you don't put your arm down, I promise to chop off your dog's paw right away!"

You must know that such things as challenging the limit, especially pay attention to scale.Xia Houyong's smile froze on his face, and he immediately let go of his hands knowingly.

The little police officer looked very winking and said, "Then you two talk a little more, hurry up!"

Xia Houyong looked at the back of the little police officer, and said sourly: "It's said that we have no clothes, and we are in the same robes. At any rate, we have also carried guns together, and beat up bastards and ungrateful things together!"

Li Zhaoling tidied up his collar and said, "In addition to the man whose soul disappeared at the scene of the car accident, there was also a little girl who disappeared, and she should have turned into a ghost. I suspect that she was the one who lured Jia Yong to jump off the building."

"The ghost kills people? Attracts souls? This is a big deal..."

Li Zhaoling turned around. Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to glance over the empty passenger seat of the police car on the side of the road. He said coldly: "I advise you not to procrastinate and close the case as soon as possible." After speaking, he walked along the path.

Xia Houyong felt that the back alveolar root started to hurt again...
