Chapter 7 Longevity Lock

Chu Banyang also followed.

He saw Lu Yingjiu standing in the alley and asked, "What's wrong?"

"...Nothing." Lu Yingjiu shook his head, "Let's go to the scene first."

When they arrived at the scene, no one dared to stay here except for the few ghost exorcists.

Ji Cai still lay quietly with her eyes closed, as if the photo just now was just an illusion. Chu Banyang squatted down beside her, stretched out his hand, and lightly brushed the skin on her arm.

The woman's skin was delicate and soft, and where his fingers crossed, there was a silky depression. He watched intently, as if he was examining something.

Seeing this, Lu Yingjiu didn't intend to stay here, so he greeted him, "Little Li, come upstairs with me and visit Zhong Aiguo's house."

...

Zhong Aiguo's home is on the 6th floor. He went up to the first floor and jumped from the balcony on the 7th floor.

The door of his house was also pulled up by a yellow and black cordon, and Lu Yingjiu stirred up a few and stepped into the house.

The interior of the house is very ordinary. The white sofa, beige curtains, and the 50-inch TV screen are dark. The morning glories raised on the balcony are wilted, and some of them have withered and landed on the soil of the flowerpot.

The feeling here is very subtle.

The breath of life is too strong. Everything here, from the unopened cans, half of the milk in the refrigerator to the bookmarked "The Count of Monte Cristo", seems to tell the visitors that the owner of the house will be back in a few hours. But in fact, the visitors knew very well that he would rot in the soil, like the potted flower on the balcony.

Zhong Aiguo left no suicide note.

Lu Yingjiu walked around the house carefully and found nothing special.

Lao Liu told him that it would take more than ten minutes to transfer the files about suicide, so he sent him the files of Ji Cai and Zhong Aiguo first.

The protection requirements for the scene of the supernatural case are not so high, and he is not taboo, sitting on the sofa, watching while waiting.

Unconsciously, he rubbed the longevity lock hanging on his chest.

This is a subconscious little act of thinking.

After hesitating for a long time, Little Li also sat down on the sofa. After a while, he couldn't restrain his curiosity: "Brother Lu, is there anything special about your longevity lock? Can you invite powerful ghosts? "

"No." Lu Yingjiu shook his head.

"Oh..." Little Li just thought that it was probably given by his family, when he heard Lu Yingjiu say again: "This is given by my wife."

Little Li: "Oh, it's really a gift from my family..."

Little Li: "...?!"

Little Li was shocked: "Brother Lu, you are already married, when is this thing, how come I don't know and no one in the meeting knows?!"

Lu Yingjiu glanced at him and said strangely, "Why do you react so much? You don't have a crush on me."

"I don't have a crush on you, but a lot of people have a crush on you!! I just promised my friend to send her a love letter! Brother Lu, you are too strict!" Little Li was mad.

Although Lu Yingjiu usually keeps a low profile, he is still the chief. He has to deal with many people in the meeting, and naturally he also knows many female ghost exorcists.

His face is really amazing, every inch of line is just right, his neck is slender, his pair of peach blossom eyes are extraordinarily fascinating, and the pores cannot be seen when the camera is on his face.

Especially when he was thinking quietly, the sunlight by the window just fell on half of his face, gilding the black hair and making the brown pupils extra bright. The white shirt is buttoned to the top button in a regular manner every time, without the slightest fold, and it outlines the slender figure vividly. The dark sandalwood chair that the chief often sits on makes his skin glow white.

As the saying goes, which girl does not have a sense of spring, everyone who has seen Lu Yingjiu said it is good, and the negative review rate has been 0% for many years.

Even the slight sense of alienation between his brows and eyes does not affect people moving forward.

The old aunts were a little more restrained, and they asked him hard if he had a partner. At this time, Lu Yingjiu would smile slightly and say, maybe you have heard of Chu Banyang.

The old aunt said, oh, so your target is Chu Banyang.

Lu Yingjiu said how can this be, the eldest son of Chu Gangzhi is still single, and his family wants a car, a car, a house and a house, and regards money as dung. He secretly told me before that he was in a hurry to find someone.

——The second half of the sentence is purely Lu Yingjiu’s nonsense. In short, Chu Banyang still hadn't figured out why so many people pulled him on a blind date. He only felt that his charm was worth it, and he was secretly proud of himself.

Little Li couldn't imagine what kind of uproar he would cause if he said that Lu Yingjiu was married.

Little Li asked again cautiously, "When did this happen."

Lu Yingjiu said, "Thirteen years ago."

Little Li: "!!!"

Little Li: "Tong bride?!"

Should he call the police?

Lu Yingjiu: "...I can't say that."

He rubbed the longevity lock, and the lines of the mountains and the sea passed under his fingers, and he was very familiar with every inch. He explained, "I'm in a ghost marriage."

"Oh..." Little Li was even more confused.

Lu Yingjiu: "I've never met him. The person who married me before... is not very reliable. He was looking for a wild ghost without a tablet or a name. He has never appeared, and he probably won't in the future. Now." He touched the longevity lock again.

His cell phone rang.

It was a file sent by Lao Liu.

Among them, 3 suicide cases occurred within a radius of 10 kilometers within a radius of 10 kilometers, centering on the No. 2 City Hospital where the female body was parked.

This is a fairly high frequency, 2 of which were fatal falls, and 1 was a wrist slash.

Lu Yingjiu gave priority to reading the death cases and quickly scanned the basic information.

"Zhang Hong, male, 43 years old, sanitation worker..."

"Chen Songhai, male, 47 years old, dishwasher at Lujing Tea Restaurant..."

These were bona fide suicides, so the police didn't connect them for a while—after all, it's almost impossible to connect suicides, as is often the case.

Now Lu Yingjiu deliberately looked at them together, and soon saw the problem.

The one who cut her wrist was a high school girl. Neighbors confirmed that she and her parents had a fierce conflict, and they had a fight on the night of the wrist cut. But Zhang Hong and Chen Songhai are different, they have no tendency to commit suicide.

Taking a closer look, the two of them are fellow villagers, both from Dingyang Town. The name looked familiar. Lu Yingjiu went back and looked through the archives of Ji Cai, and it said [2018.12~2020.8, participate in the "Road to Dream" poverty alleviation plan, and serve as a teacher of Dingyang Primary School, Dingyang Town, XX City, XX Province, with enthusiasm for work. ,Positive attitude】

It is also written on the file that Ji Cai died unexpectedly in Dingyang Town in August last year.

Little Li: "This can't be a coincidence, Brother Lu, what do you think?" He flipped through the file again, "Chen Songhai even has a previous conviction for molestation."

Lu Yingjiu said: "According to the usual routine, these two people had an affair with the teacher, but they did not expect to kill her by mistake. They fled to the big city in fear of crime, but Ji Cai came with him. It is also possible that they were just having a holiday. "

He sighed softly and got up: "No matter what the story is, I'm no longer interested. The connection between them is too obvious, and the rest is enough for the Green Lantern Festival. Zhong Aiguo is also likely to have a connection with her. , you can find out by checking it a little.”

Little Li was stunned and followed him: "If Ji Cai is the victim, this is a

revenge

, she's really miserable..."

He suddenly felt a little guilty.

Looking at the photos on the file, Ji Cai is young and beautiful, with a twisted braid, and her eyes are like crescent moons when she smiles.

Hearing this sentence, Lu Yingjiu stood still.

He turned his head, and Little Li subconsciously took a half step back and was blocked by him against the wall.

Lu Yingjiu said, "She killed someone, do you know what that means?"

Little Li was taken aback for a moment by his suddenly serious look.

In terms of face alone, Lu Yingjiu is actually mild and delicate, but when his face is expressionless, the aura that has been at the top for a long time is overwhelming, and the brows seem to be sharp. Little Li hurriedly stammered: "It must, must be dispelled by us, I, I, I know that."

"But she didn't do anything wrong, didn't she? It's just human nature. If I was killed, I might be even fiercer than Ji Cai." Lu Yingjiu said.

Little Li was stunned by this, and didn't know what Lu Yingjiu wanted to say.

Lu Yingjiu added, "I ask you, what's the difference between the human world and the ghost world?"

Little Li was agitated and quickly replied: "The human world is the land of the living, and the ghost world is the land of the dead. There are few resentments in the human world, and the yang qi is heavy. The ghost world is full of vicious ghosts, full of yin qi. The abyss. Renminbi is used in the world, and coins are used in the ghost world..."

Lu Yingjiu snorted: "Why is the answer so complicated? You should answer the question in the examination room, and you write a long paragraph just to deceive the poor two points. Let me tell you, the difference is that we are a society ruled by law."

Little Li: "???" He couldn't help but leaned.

Lu Yingjiu continued: "So we have committed crimes and should be handed over to the law for trial. We have sentencing standards, but ghosts are impossible, and ghosts who have killed people are more likely to continue to hurt innocents. Therefore, Even if it is a ghost, the rules of our world should not be broken. If everyone is in chaos, wouldn’t it be a mess? It’s right that the dead want revenge, and it’s right that we want to disperse it.”

He took a half step back, looked at Little Li who was still a little confused, and rolled his eyes: "I said this to tell you that you can sympathize, but don't feel guilty. Stand up straight, everything you do is right. of."

Going downstairs, Ji Cai has been wrapped in runes like a zongzi.

Chu Banyang was beside him, he slowly dropped a pair of gloves, and said, "The runes are all set up, and they can be cremated on the spot to ensure that not even slag is left."

"Burn!" Lu Yingjiu said succinctly.

Chu Banyang snapped his fingers, and the flames burst into flames, engulfing Ji Cai.

The fire was extremely fierce, but in just five or six minutes, the body was completely gone.

Seeing that the flames were about to disappear, there seemed to be ashes floating in the air. Lu Yingjiu took out three runes and threw out one lightly.

The paper is blowing in the wind...

boom! ! !

With a deafening sound, Little Li's ears hummed directly, and he was stunned - the rune thrown by Lu Yingjiu caused a small explosion, blasting ashes in the air.

Little Li: "What is this doing!"

Lu Yingjiu said: "Fix the knife to prevent resurrection." He threw out another one, and there was another loud noise, and the ground was blown into a hole.

Little Li: "..."

When Lu Yingjiu finished repairing his knife, the loud noise had already attracted a bunch of people.

The police rushed over in a panic: "What happened?"

While Chu Banyang was explaining to them, Lu Yingjiu had already bypassed the crowd and left through the small gate of the community.

It was already dark, and he didn't arrive home until almost 12 o'clock.

The Cow Cat greeted him with its tail up and rubbed against his legs. Lu Yingjiu squatted down and scratched its chin.

As usual, he warmed up a glass of milk before going to bed and drank it while reading.

The cup was warm in his hand, showing a reassuring temperature. After finishing two chapters of the book, he took out the diamond ring again, and he gently opened the diamond ring box that Chu Banyang couldn't open.

The diamond ring sparkles, it is a dazzling brilliance.

Combined with the eggs and milk that appeared inexplicably, the red and bright underworld florets, and the ghosts who were suddenly crushed today.

He's almost certainly provoked something unclean.

This was the first time he had encountered a ghost that he was completely unaware of.

If it were someone else, would have been scared to death. But Lu Yingjiu has been plagued by bad luck since he was a child, and he has seen too many ghosts and ghosts. The unjust soul in the well, the wandering nightmare, and when the crow that hangs the ghost flaps its wings, it screams all night long. When he was young, he was on the bed and covered his head with a quilt, but a pair of cold hands always quietly stretched out under the bed.

If the ghost exorcist is heading towards the abyss, then when he is born, the world he sees is the abyss.

Therefore, no matter how terrifying and ferocious ghosts are in the eyes of others, they cannot compare to everything he has ever encountered.

He does not and has no need to be afraid of any ghosts.

Looking back on the past, the hellish days would continue.

until……

Lu Yingjiu took the longevity lock off his neck.

It has a strange luster under the light.

He gently held the longevity lock, lay on the table, and held it under the light, just like in countless long nights before, he just looked at the longevity lock like this, thinking, what kind of person is the other party? Woolen cloth?

Gentle and quiet?

Or cold and violent?

Will you like the same things as yourself, or is it that as a ghost, you have no desires and no desires?

His aura in front of outsiders and the sharpness of his expression were completely restrained at this time. No one has ever seen him show such a gentle expression.

Lu Yingjiu was holding the longevity lock, thinking the same question as the self thirteen years ago.

- When can I see you.

Then tell you the story of these thirteen years.

The hour hand pointed to one o'clock in the morning, and Lu Yingjiu put the longevity lock back on his neck.

After reining in his demeanor, he returned to his usual calm and indifferent Lu Yingjiu, hiding his emotions so well that he would not raise his brows even when there was a sea of swords, fires, and blood in front of him.

Lights out, go to bed.

This night was quiet, and don't know how long it took. The longevity lock on his chest was hot, and Lu Yingjiu woke up.

The hour hand in the house ticked, pointing to 2 o'clock, and the moonlight shone through the curtains, white and white.

There is someone on the bed.

He looked up.

Ji Cai stood at the head of the bed, staring straight at him, her eyes resentful.

Her skin was pale, her body was soaked wet, her long hair was dripping with water, and her bare feet were almost translucent on the floor.

Taking a closer look, the diamond ring box on the head of the bed was still like a shark, biting her two fingers tightly and not letting go.

"..." Lu Yingjiu smiled, "That's right, that way, I'll be a little interested in you." He leaned against the bedside, "Tell me, what else do you wish for?"
