Urban Night Returner

When Shen Gu returned, the first dish was served, and Zhong Lecen was groaning with hunger, waiting until he was almost furious: "Did you fall into the toilet? I almost wanted to hire a submarine to fetch you .”

"Forget it, you don't want to spend that money. It would be nice to buy a fence to fish for." Shen Gu took his seat while teasing Zhong Lecen, "Eat quickly, don't wait for me, aren't you hungry? I met you just now." Alone, so delayed."

Zhong Lecen was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and while picking up the chopsticks to pick up vegetables, he asked, "Meet someone you know?"

Shen Gu frowned: "Not really an acquaintance. Do you remember the Bingbing girl who sat at the table with us at Accountant Han's wedding, the one who is going to take the college entrance examination?"

"Did you meet her just now?" Zhong Lecen stuffed a mouthful of boiled pork slices, and said vaguely while chewing, "Did you talk?"

"No. She seems to have been admitted to university, and she is probably celebrating in a private room. I heard from the waiter in her room that she was admitted to Tsinghua University and is the number one in the school."

"It's amazing. It seems that her school is also a key point. The top female champion in a key middle school is really good."

"But--" Shen Gu was not sure if there was anything wrong with Bingbing's girl, at least, according to Dongfang Chen's guidance, he didn't see anything from Bingbing.

"Huh?" Zhong Lecen looked up at him indifferently, "But what?"

"I think there's always something wrong with that girl."

This time Zhong Lecen became serious: "What's wrong?"

"During the last wedding, I saw a red mole growing in her eyebrow."

"Is there? Why didn't I see it?"

"It's only the size of a needle nose, and it's strange that you can see it in the eyebrow."

Zhong Lecen wrinkled his nose at him: "Your eyes are so good! Then, what's wrong with the red mole?"

"I saw her again today, and the red mole was the size of a mung bean."

"Ah?" Zhong Lecen frowned, "Normal moles that grow rapidly may be diseased."

"Disease?" Now it was Shen Gu's turn to be dazed.Yeah, why didn't he think of this?Could it be that since entering the special affairs department, you want to associate everything with that "special affairs"?However, if the mole grows so fast, her family didn't notice it, why don't you take her to the hospital?

"Her complexion is very bad, waxy and waxy, but that mole is particularly bright, as if her spirit and blood were all sucked by this mole."

"What?" Zhong Lecen's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, "Is it so serious? Even if it's a skin lesion, it's not like this... No, which room is she in? Let's go and see."

Shen Gu grabbed him and said, "What are you doing? I guess that girl doesn't know us for a long time. She is celebrating her admission to university. Why do we suddenly break in? They must come out after eating, right? Let's just watch here no?"

With Shen Gu's words, they ate this meal for three and a half hours. At the end of the meal, Zhong Lecen couldn't eat anymore, so he had to stare blankly at the messy table.At this moment, Shen Gu exerted his combat power, still eating with chopsticks, unhappy, but non-stop.

"You can really eat." Zhong Lecen couldn't even lie down on the table, so he could only lean on the back of the chair and watch Shen Gu pick up the corn kernels in the "Golden Sands Corn" with chopsticks, "It seems that the waiters are watching us gone."

really.The guests eating in the lobby are generally faster, those who want to drink all night are mostly in the private room, there are no such as Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen, who have eaten the new plate of golden sand corn for an hour, obviously killing time.

"Don't look at others, how do you know that they are looking at you?" Shen Gu's face was much thicker than Zhong Lecen's, and he picked up corn one by one, "Those people should come out, it's almost ten o'clock."

Zhong Lecen hugged his stomach with difficulty and turned his head in the direction of the private room, thank God, he really came out.Zhong Lecen recognized the middle-aged man who came to the banquet that day, he was already very drunk, and he was still excitedly talking non-stop with his shoulders on his shoulders.The people who walked together were beaming, and all of them were flushed.Among these rosy faces, Bing Bing's face stood out.Sure enough, as Shen Gu said, her complexion was sallow, as if she was malnourished, and the red mole in her eyebrow was as bright as a drop of blood under the light. Very uncomfortable.

Zhong Lecen stared at Bingbing closely, until the group of people walked out of the restaurant, and then slowly said: "It's really not right. The mole is too bright, it seems, it seems to be shining, like cinnabar spots."

"But I can't see any ghostly aura about her." When Shen Gu was in the bathroom, he tried to analyze it with the several identification methods mentioned by Dongfang Chen, but none of them matched.

"What Dongfang Chen can teach is only what she has seen. There are too many anecdotes and strange facts in this world, and no one can take it for granted. In my opinion, you can call Accountant Han and ask, see if this girl has had any problems recently. Something abnormal or something uncomfortable. Hey, let’s check out and go out to make a call, the waiter’s eyeballs are almost popping out.”

Shen Gu called Han Jinyue.Han Jinyue was working overtime at the company to settle the bill, and his head was full of numbers and creditors. It took him a long time to realize: "Oh, oh, Bingbing, you said Zhao Bing. She is my cousin's daughter, and I don't know who is the number one. My cousin. In fact, that cousin passed away a long time ago, and my uncle never got married again. My mother often takes care of her. I’m not very familiar. Didn’t my mother write the guest list when we got married... Is Bingbing okay? I didn’t hear what my mother said about her. Didn’t she take the college entrance examination this year? It's also a good thing, haha... Her health--her health seems to be not very good. My mother said that she was born with a weak womb, and she worked too hard. The college entrance examination is a lot of trouble, and her health will definitely not be good. Okay, In this way, when I get home, I will ask my mother to call and ask, and then I will call you, okay, goodbye."

"Nothing?" Zhong Lecen guessed most of Shen Gu's answers after hearing a few words.

Shen Gu shrugged: "They are not very familiar with each other. Accountant Han said that her mother will ask her when she gets home, and call us if there is anything to do."

Han Jinyue's call came two days later.Shen Gu was writing this month's summary report in the office when his cell phone rang.Han Jinyue shouted at the top of his voice, "Brother Shen, something has happened! Bingbing hasn't woken up for two days from the night before yesterday!"

Shen Gu frowned: "Don't worry, speak carefully, what's going on?"

"After you called me that day, I asked my mother to call Bingbing's house. Nothing happened that day. My mother called me this morning, and I didn't know that after Bingbing went to bed the night before, the next morning Didn't get up on time. My uncle thought she was tired from the college entrance examination, and it was okay to sleep a little longer, so he went to work without calling her. When he came home in the middle of the night after working overtime, he found that Bingbing was still asleep, and he couldn't wake him up! Hurry up and send it away The hospital, it’s been a whole night, and I still can’t save him, what should I do!”

"Which hospital?"

"Old Municipal Hospital!"

"Let's go over and have a look right away."

Shen Gu put down the phone and went straight to the clinic.Zhong Lecen was shearing a puppy. Hearing Shen Gu's brief explanation, he explained to the dog owner that his cousin was sick and was going to visit him in the hospital. He handed over the work to Xiao Lai, and the two went straight to the municipal hospital.

Han Jinyue was walking back and forth outside the ward, and when she saw Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen, she seemed to see a savior: "You are here? Bingbing still hasn't woken up. The doctor said that her internal organs are gradually failing. If she still doesn't wake up in 24 hours, I might never wake up again."

Shen Gu frowned, and walked into the ward with Zhong Lecen.Bingbing was lying on the hospital bed, with an infusion needle inserted in her hand, her face was whiter than the sheets, only the mole on her brow was extremely bright.Her father sat on the edge of the bed with a haggard look. When Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen came in, he just took a numb look and then turned his gaze back to his daughter's face.Zhong Lecen looked at it for a while, and asked, "Don't you think there is something wrong with her mole?"

"What mole?" Han Jinyue was puzzled.

Zhong Lecen was also baffled: "You can't see it? There is such a big mole in her eyebrow!"

Han Jinyue looked down for a long time: "Where is it?"

Zhong Lecen turned his head to look at Shen Gu in shock, but Shen Gu didn't understand what he meant: "It seems that no one else can see it, there must be a ghost."

Zhong Lecen almost wanted to shout out: the point is not that there is something wrong with this mole, but the point is why Han Jinyue can't see it but he can see it!When he was eating at the restaurant the day before yesterday, he didn't wear sunglass!

Shen Gu didn't think about it so deeply, he just frowned and observed Bingbing again, then turned to ask Han Jinyue: "What does the doctor think is wrong with her not being able to wake up?"

Han Jinyue shook her head: "The doctor couldn't say anything! I began to suspect that Bingbing had hit her head, but a CT scan found it to be true. And she didn't have a fever or anything. Even when she was sleeping, the doctor said she was in a deep sleep, but her internal organs were gone. It's starting to fail..."

Zhong Lecen temporarily put away the fluctuations in his heart, and turned to Bingbing's father: "Uncle, did Bingbing encounter anything unusual the night before yesterday?"

Zhao's father shook his head after a long time, his voice was hoarse: "It's nothing, Bingbing was packing things at home the day before yesterday, because he had to go to such a far place when school started, so he had to take everything with him. Bingbing didn't have a mother when he was young, and he did everything by himself ..."

"Then what about a few days ago? For example, she went out with her classmates or something?"

Zhao's father still shook his head: "Bingbing doesn't have many friends, so she usually doesn't go out to play. The college entrance examination is too tiring, and she can't keep up with her nutrition. She feels tired, and she is not in the mood to go out after waiting for the results after the exam."

"Then what about Bingbing's classmates and friends who usually have close contacts? You should ask them."

Father Zhao still shook his head: "Bingbing doesn't have many friends."

Zhong Lecen understood.The so-called not many friends, in fact, is no friends.It is estimated that Zhao Bing usually studies in addition to studying, and rarely socializes, let alone close friends.

This is difficult.How to solve it?

Shen Gu lowered his head and thought for a while: "Uncle, can we go to your house to have a look?"

Father Zhao was taken aback for a moment: "You guys, what do you do?"

Shen Gu frowned slightly.Father Zhao has been answering their questions since he came in just now, but this is the first time he has asked their identities.Ordinarily, this sentence should be asked just now when you came in, right?

"I'm a policeman. Lozen is a—doctor."

"Doctor?" Father Zhao turned his gaze to Zhong Lecen, "A few doctors just now didn't say what happened to Bingbing..."

Zhong Lecen coughed dryly: "I, let's go to your house to take a look. Sometimes the cause of the disease is very strange..."

Han Jinyue chimed in: "Yes, uncle, Zhong, Dr. Zhong is very good, let them go and have a look, maybe they can find out Bingbing's problem."

Father Zhao nodded numbly, and took out the key: "Xiaoyue, you take them there, I, I have to accompany Bingbing."

Walking out of the hospital, Han Jinyue said apologetically: "Don't worry about it, my uncle has a heart for Bingbing. My aunt passed away at the age of 30. He was afraid that his stepmother Bingbing would suffer, so he never got married. Sickness... and the doctor just said that the internal organs are failing, I think my uncle can't take it anymore, I'm afraid that Bingbing is fine, he fell down first."

Shen Gu shook his head: "It's okay, I can understand."

Han Jinyue sighed and stopped talking.

The Zhao family was quite close to the hospital, and lived in an old building that was about to be demolished, and the corridors were full of debris.Wearing high heels, Han Jinyue stumbled to the innermost room, took out the key and opened the door: "That's it."

The house is about forty square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room.It is said that it is a hall, but it is actually a larger aisle. With a table, two chairs and a small sofa, there is not much space left.The kitchen is too small to turn around.One of the two bedrooms was very clean and tidy, and there was a small bookshelf next to the desk. It was obviously a cold bedroom.Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen went around the room, but found nothing.

Han Jinyue pushed open the door of another room: "This is my uncle's room. Some miscellaneous things can't fit in, so I put them all in his room. Make it messy."

It was indeed a mess inside, but the sheets were clean.Beside the bed was a small cabinet covered with a white cloth.Han Jinyue glanced at it: "It's probably my aunt's photo. My uncle and her have a really good relationship."

Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen's eyes were fixed on the white cloth at the same time, and they said in unison: "No!" As soon as the words fell, Zhong Lecen looked at Shen Gu in surprise again.

Although Han Jinyue was in a bad mood, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "It's really a tacit understanding."

It's a pity that Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen couldn't bother to argue with her at this time, Shen Gu stepped over and stared at the white cloth: "I'm going to open it."

"Ah?" Only then did Han Jinyue belatedly understand what the two of them were talking about, "Well, only him and Bingbing are the only ones my uncle won't let move in this photo—forget it, he won't know anyway, You see."

Shen Gu carefully lifted the white cloth, and then, Han Jinyue was the first to call out: "Why, it's not a photo?"

Under the white cloth is not a photo at all, but a porcelain plate, about the size of a book, light blue in color, with a human figure slightly protruding from the left half, thin to the bone, with a sideways body, holding a brush in his left hand.On the right side is the character "Dou", and the tip of the human-shaped brush is connected to the top point of the character "Dou".

Han Jinyue came over to look curiously: "What, what is this? Why did my uncle put such a thing here? What is this person doing? No, he doesn't look like a person. How can there be such a strange person like this? ..."

Zhong Lecen stared at the porcelain plaque and said slowly: "This is not a human being."

Han Jinyue was taken aback.It was a hot day, but she was chilled by Zhong Lecen's tone: "Then, what is this?"

"It's a ghost."

Han Jinyue couldn't help exclaiming: "Ghost? What are you doing here with a ghost sign?"

Zhong Lecen took the white cloth from Shen Gu's hand and covered it again: "Let's go back to the hospital, I understand Bingbing's illness."

Han Jinyue really wanted to ask what the disease was, but she didn't dare to open her mouth.Shen Gu drove all the way back to the hospital, while Zhao's father was still sitting on the head of the bed looking at Bingbing with an almost desperate expression.As soon as Zhong Lecen entered the door, he asked, "Mr. Zhao, what did you put on the bedside table?"

Father Zhao's blank face suddenly twitched, and he jumped up as if stung by something: "You guys, why are you rummaging through my things?"

Zhong Lecen glared at him fiercely: "Turn through your things randomly? Do you know that the reason why your daughter is sick is because of this thing you placed!"

"What?" Father Zhao's eyes widened in astonishment, "You're talking nonsense! That's helping Bingbing--" He suddenly shut his mouth tightly, but Zhong Lecen has already continued for him: "That's helping Bingbing get good grades in the exam ,Yeah?"

"You, how do you know..."

"Hmph! Mr. Zhao, do you know what method you use?"

Father Zhao hesitated for a while, and finally said: "I, I also heard from my friends that it is Kuixing Diandou, who can bless Bingbing to pass the exam. I, I think she worked too hard. If she fails to pass the Tsinghua University exam, I'm afraid She won't be able to take it..."

Zhong Lecen sighed deeply: "You feel sorry for her, we all understand, but, do you know what Kuixing Diandou is?"

"No, isn't it the number one scholar? I heard that people in ancient times said that the one who won the number one scholar was Kuixing according to his life..."

Zhong Lecen caressed his forehead and sighed: "Who the hell told you! In ancient times, it was called Kui Xing, whose life was tied to Kui Bi, and whose articles were peerless. It was Kui, not Kui!"

Father Zhao was completely at a loss: "No, isn't it the same?"

Zhong Lecen was so angry that he had nothing to say, he turned his head and saw a glass of water on the table, took it over and wrote two words on the wall: "This is Kui. Said 'main article'. Later generations wrote 'Kui' because the statue of Kuixing could not be made when the temple was set up for sacrifices, so it became 'Kui' through false rumors."

Han Jinyue was also confused: "Then, what's the difference?"

Zhong Lecen sighed: "Kuixing clicks on Dou, this Dou is on Bingbing's brow, it is that mole. Now," he stretched out his hand to cover the half of "Dou" and looked at Father Zhao, "Double click on it, and it's still there." What's left?"

Both Father Zhao and Han Jinyue stared straight at the remaining half of the word "Kui". After a long time, Han Jinyue managed to squeeze out a word: "Ghost--"
