Chapter 74 Soul Search

When Fang Zhi in a police uniform came to the door again, Wei Ning knew that he still underestimated the ability of the police. He did not expect that the case reported by a public phone could still be found by them.

Fang Zhi with a square face looked at Wei Ning with a smile on his face, and said straight to the point, "Do you know why I came to you?"

Wei Ning glanced at him weakly, nodded silently at first, and then quickly added, "I didn't do this, I just passed by unfortunately, I was going to make soy sauce, but I was beaten by soy sauce." people who have-"

Fang Zhi simply stopped entangled in this matter, "We know this situation."

Wei Ning loves to hear these words, he was refreshed, and finally came to life, "My suspicion has been ruled out so quickly? The efficiency of the police comrades is not generally high!" He praised without hesitation.

Fang Zhi laughed, "On the day Zhou Mei was killed, you were still in Sichuan. This was found out after a random investigation, but you still have to give me a reasonable reason why you appeared in the abandoned factory. , otherwise, we still have reason to suspect that you have something to do with this serial murder."

Wei Ning suspected that his ears had misheard, "Wait, wait, what are you talking about the serial murder case? Could it be that not only the woman—the woman was killed?" A female ghost almost blurted out, but luckily the brakes were on in time , Wei Ning rejoiced in his heart.

Fang Zhi nodded solemnly, "Since this year, including Zhou Mei, we have found three female corpses there, all of whom were killed after being stunned. Judging from the modus operandi, we have sufficient evidence to suspect that It's the same murderer."

Wei Ning suddenly remembered that at the beginning of this year, there was a news in City B.

A dog in a vegetable farmer’s house in the suburbs retrieved a human paw from nowhere, and the vegetable farmer almost fainted in fright. After reporting the crime with trembling legs, the police who rushed to the scene immediately used police dogs A detailed search was carried out in the nearby surrounding area, and finally the dead body that had been bitten by wild dogs was found in the abandoned factory.

This case was also a sensation at the time, but Wei Ning has never paid much attention to such social news with sensational headlines. It is not something that happened around him. When Fang Zhi mentioned the serial murder case, he suddenly remembered the news and connected the events before and after.

Wei Ning thought for a while, "Isn't that the case where the dog got a paw?"

Fang Zhi took off the police cap on his head and held it in his hand, "Yes, but there was a case after that, which was not published in the newspaper, so most people don't know about it."

Wei Ning nodded thoughtfully, "Then what did you find out?"

Fang Zhi looked at Wei Ning and smiled, and stopped talking.

Wei Ning immediately came to his senses, he should not ask about this matter, the unsolved case must belong to some kind of secret, where he can ask about the case casually, it is not breaking the discipline of the police.

Fang Zhi smiled and said, "Don't think too much, first tell me why you went there."

This time it was Wei Ning's turn to stop talking. He really couldn't find a plausible reason. He ran to that kind of wilderness alone for no reason. To be honest, if it wasn't for his whereabouts and Zhou Mei's murder With the timings colliding, the police would definitely have him as the number one suspect.

Wei Ning chattered for a long time, but still didn't say why.

Finally, Fang Zhi finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, and before he got the answer, he put the police cap in his hand on the table, and the paper bag sent by the female ghost was beside him, Fang Zhi took a look at the paper bag , and said to Wei Ning, "You really have a lot of strange things here."

Wei Ning looked into his eyes and was stunned when he heard his words. Isn't it what he thought?Did the policeman know that the paper bag had an unusual origin?This is too unscientific, right?Shouldn't the police refuse to believe in all idealistic things in the common people's impression?

A meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Fang Zhi's upright Chinese character face, "You don't think that there are no people in the police force who know about those things, do you? By the way, don't you still know my master Xu Laosan? He came from the same place as my junior brother."

Wei Ning pointed at him, "You, you, you—"

"You" for a long time, but "you" didn't come up with anything, he was so shocked, so it was so, so it was so, all the things that didn't make sense before can now be explained, such as why the police were so quick I believe he has nothing to do with Boss Li's case. For example, why Fang Zhi called him because he cared so much about him, and why Lao San Xu was able to find out the whereabouts of people like Luo Shiwen so quickly—it turned out that there was someone behind him. .

Fang Zhi looked at Wei Ning's shocked face and couldn't help laughing. He didn't have the serious look just now, but he did look like Xu Laosan's apprentice, "I am Xu Laosan's fifth apprentice, and I was called Xu Laosan there. Fang Wu, after leaving the school, he didn't want to do such things anymore, so he became a policeman."

Wei Ning couldn't accept it, "Then why didn't you say it at the beginning?"

Fang Zhi smiled helplessly, "This can be regarded as an unwritten rule. If people in the magic world quit their jobs, they must completely leave that circle and stop taking the initiative to touch those gods and ghosts. Even if you use spells, ordinary people should look like ordinary people, right? Even if my master asks me for help, I will only help myself if I can."

Wei Ning was reluctant to tell the reason at first, because the reason was absolutely ridiculous and funny in the eyes of ordinary people. Now, the policeman sitting opposite is actually Xu Laosan's apprentice. What should be said should not be said. Yes, everything can be said, Wei Ning told Fang Zhi everything about the female ghost's visit.

Fang Zhi was surprised when he heard it, "You are quite courageous, even dare to do ghost business."

Wei Ning laughed awkwardly, and said in a low voice, "Isn't there no other way?" He pulled himself together and asked Fang Zhi, "Did the police find anything?"

Fang Zhi touched the stubble on his chin, "I found out that the three victims used to live in the abandoned factory, but after they moved out from there, the three families had no contact with each other. The social relations of the victims It's also very simple, except that Zhou Mei and the other victim studied in the same high school, they didn't even recognize each other, and the crime scene was too clean, so no useful clues were found. After a while, it entered a dead end, and as soon as this case came out, the higher authorities immediately paid attention to it."

Wei Ning didn't know much, the two talked for a while, Fang Zhi went back first.

Wei Ning was sitting alone in the room, rubbing his chin, still thinking about the case, "Wei Xi" suddenly appeared and sat beside him, Wei Ning looked at "Wei Xi" thoughtfully, "Ah Xi, you Can you summon a soul?"

"Wei Xi" froze for a moment, then nodded.

Wei Ning slapped the table, "It's fine, we can also call the souls of the two victims in front to ask, it's not like the three souls are so confused and don't know any clues?"

Don't be too late, just do it.

"Wei Xi" asked Wei Ning to buy some white candles first. Wei Ning ran to Fushou Street in the north of the building, and under the smiling face of the owner of a incense and candle shop, he brought back a large handful of white candles. It is roughly estimated that there are at least 200 white candles. Many, besides white candles, there are also some paper money and other things made of paper.

When it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening, Wei Ning began to light candles.One, two, a total of 99 white candles were placed on the floor of the living room in a strange shape according to "Wei Xi"'s words, a bit like a strange formation. There was nothing else going on with Wei Ning, he stepped aside, sat on the sofa in the corner, and watched "Wei Xi" start to "soul search".

"Wei Xi" stood among the white candles, with his feet floating in the air, and closed his eyes.

The flame of the white candle swayed, and with a sound of "flutter", it jumped up all of a sudden. At the same time, "Wei Xi"'s body gradually blurred and turned into a gray-white mist. Spread out, spread out, and not long after, "Wei Xi" has disappeared in place.

Wei Ning was very nervous watching from the side. He didn't know why. Seeing the process of "Wei Xi"'s body disappearing, his heart skipped a beat. He knew it was just a trick, but he still felt panic. The panic was so strong that he almost cried out, trying to stop "Wei Xi" from doing so.

The flames of the white candles were jumping, and the burning speed was fast and slow. The flames were white for a while, and green for a while. Wei Ning was frightened when he saw the 99 white candles, as if they were manipulated by something. The timing of lighting is different, but at first glance, the remaining parts are the same height.

I don't know how long we waited, but Wei Ning couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up, walked back and forth along the wall, and walked back and forth impatiently. After walking a few steps, he raised his eyes to look at the white candle circle. What will happen?All kinds of bad thoughts appeared in my mind, and I couldn't get rid of them.

The room was quiet, Wei Ning's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Something is not quite right, there are more things in the room, those things are looking at him, and they are leaning towards him, Wei Ning is sweating on his forehead, his right hand is holding on to the "yang wood", Wei Ning Ning saw a few muddy footprints on the floor, walking towards him step by step.

Wei Ning pressed his back against the wall, looking at the footprint with chattering teeth.

He shook his hands, took out a piece of yellow talisman paper from his clothes, and pasted it on his body with his backhand. This is the ghost talisman he bought from the old man Xiao who gave him Yangmu when he went to Fushou Street today , He bought this just in case, when old man Xiao swore that it was definitely a good thing, I hope he didn't lie.

Fortunately, when the mud footprint came to him, he seemed to have lost his goal. After searching back and forth for a while, he walked away step by step, until he reached the window, and left a mud footprint on the window sill , left the house.

Wei Ning heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a chill down his back.

At this moment, there was finally movement in the circle of white candles, like strands of gray-white mist, drilled out from the window, from the ground, from the ceiling, and from every corner, gathered in the sky above the white candles, Wei Ning watched the whole process without blinking, the mist rolled and twisted, and gradually transformed back into the body of "Wei Xi".

"Wei Xi" opened his eyes and fell to the ground from mid-air. With a wave of his hand, all the white candles that were about to burn out were extinguished, and the room was plunged into darkness. Only his body exuded a faint light. Wei Ning Feeling the switch, pressing it, the room was suddenly brightened.

"Wei Xi" looked a little unhappy, "I can't find their souls." He told Wei Ning.

This matter is strange. "Wei Xi" said before "Searching for Souls" that he used the method of the underworld. As long as the soul has not been reincarnated, generally speaking, it is definitely possible to find it. Could it be that they are so quick? Reincarnated?Didn't it mean that it is difficult to get rid of resentment and reincarnation for those who died unjustly or violently?Apparently, "Wei Xi" also felt that something was wrong about not being able to find her soul, "I couldn't even find Zhou Mei's soul."

After hearing this, Wei Ning immediately jumped up, "Since I can't find it, the paper bag should be fine, right?"

"Wei Xi" shook his head, and Wei Ning looked disappointedly at the paper bag that hadn't leaked blood since he planned to investigate the case. Those things in the underworld are really unimaginable. The owner is gone, what is left behind It can still work, Wei Ning suddenly thought of something, "If we move, will this paper bag also come with us?"

"Wei Xi"'s answer did not "disappoint" him, "Yes."

The two of them didn't talk for a while, Wei Ning sighed there, feeling that his luck was really good, "Wei Xi" was thinking about something, after a while, he comforted Wei Ning and said, "We You can go to the abandoned factory to search for the soul again, they must not have gone to reincarnation, the soul should be trapped somewhere, search for the soul at the place where they died, and you will definitely find it."

Wei Ning was speechless for a while, and went to that ghost place again, hoping that he would not encounter the same thing as last time again.

The next day, the two of them did not go to the waste factory, because Wei Ning received a letter in the morning, and inside the letter was a red and gold-stamped wedding invitation, which read "Send to Mr. On September 20th (Saturday), the wedding ceremony will be held for Mr. Ding Maoshu and Ms. Wu Meifang. We respectfully prepare a wedding banquet and so on.”

Ever since Wei Ning saw this wedding invitation, he has been in a daze, completely out of state when speaking or doing things.

Because the bride on the invitation, that Ms. Wu Meifang, was his ex-girlfriend who had broken up with him for half a year.

And "Wei Xi" didn't urge him. From the moment the invitation appeared, his attitude became strangely silent. With his intuition, "Wei Xi" almost immediately knew that this invitation had something special for Wei Ning. Meaning, the woman above must have a deep relationship with him, this fact makes "Wei Xi" very unhappy.
