Chapter 168: The Cage of the Female Corpse
Under the warm sunshine, the courtyard door of the villa opened, and in the bright light, the old lady from yesterday helped an old man into the courtyard.
Meng Fan had already removed his ghost mask and stood in the courtyard with the octopus, squinting at the old man ……
Only to see this old man wearing a black tunic and waistcoat, his hair is sparse, has been toppled, wearing a pair of round-framed presbyopia glasses, looks like an old scholar, the age of about more than sixty years old …… and the female corpse is only more than twenty years old, not like father and daughter, but some master and grandchildren, I think it must be the time of procreation is a little late.
"Master, they are the people from Feng Yi Funeral Company." The old lady introduced to the old man, her attitude was respectful, "They came yesterday afternoon, specializing in exorcising the ghosts for Miss."
The old man glanced at Meng Fan and the octopus with a cold face, the corner of his mouth moved and did not speak, with a preoccupied look …… He scanned the courtyard and saw that the wreaths were tattered and torn, the paper figures were also tilted to the east and west, and there was even a streak of blood on the ground, and surprisingly, even the glass door, which was shattered… …His face became grim, and he finally opened his mouth to speak, with a piercing tone that was quite unpleasant to hear ……
"What's going on here? How come the paper man wreaths are all messed up like this? And why is the glass door broken?"
"And what's with this pool of blood on the ground? What are you guys doing here?"
"Do you know how to work? Are you all losers? This was paid for!"
Meng Fan's expression was calm, unable to see the rest of his anger, but it was the octopus standing beside him that was a bit indignant, her eyebrows locked, wanting to say something, but was stopped by Meng Fan's eyes.
The old man lost his temper, his gaze was like a sharp blade, gouged out the two men, and went into the building with the old lady, presumably to check out the other losses again!
"Octopus …… did you find anything wrong?"
Meng Fan smiled lightly, the smile was bright in the sunlight, and some charm, is very eye-catching.
The octopus looked at Meng Fan's face, and did not know which face he actually liked to look at, and angrily nuzzled his mouth and said, "Of course I can see that something is not right, that old man must be trying to find some excuse, and does not want to pay for it …… NiuBa brother, do you know, the more the rich people are more stingy and meticulous, on the contrary, those who have no money, often pretend to be broad. those who don't have money, often pretend to be generous ……"
"And?"
"And …… don't look at that old man dressed like a reader, but he is so old, the age of his daughter is only more than twenty years old, maybe it is born with a concubine, it should be style is also immodest."
"…… really gossip." Meng Fan laughed, inclined his head, vision against the sunlight to look at the sky, murmured, "There are still some places that are not right, some places that go against common sense ……"
"Wow."
The octopus fiddled with the long hair on her chest with her slender fingers, pursed her lips, and seemed to be trying to figure out what Meng Fan had said …… Against Common Sense?
Everything that happened here, the spirit hall, the female corpse, the ghost baby, the spirit of grievance, even that rope …… that hangs the dead is not against common sense!
After a while, the old man came out again, the anger on his face was even greater, even the wrinkles contained anger, his lips trembled, staring angrily at Meng Fan and the octopus, the meanness of his tone of voice bellowed again ……
"There's a big hole burned out of one of the doors upstairs, what did you guys do?"
"The house is in a mess, are you here to demolish it?"
"All the damages suffered by the villa are to be counted on their heads ……"
Listening to the words of the old man, this time the octopus is really some can not help it, pretty face flushed up, looks very angry, said angrily: "…… your family haunted, but also haunted so much, destroy some things is unavoidable Well, to tell you the truth, your family's ghost is too fierce, if you do not remove, sooner or later Woe to your whole family!"
"You!" Hearing the octopus curse his whole family, the old man reached out and pointed at the octopus, momentarily getting angry, after a moment's pause, he said, "You'd better solve the matter of the haunting tonight, or else get lost!"
Muttering, the old man threw another tantrum before walking off with the old lady's support …… Hearing the sound of cars leaving ringing outside, the octopus spat out his tongue, "What kind of people are these, disrespectful for the old and tricky and mean!"
"…… Well." Meng Fan's face suddenly surfaced with an oddly colored smile, "Now tell me again where there's something wrong?"
"Ah ……" The octopus, still immersed in his exasperation, rubbed his forehead and said somewhat painfully, "Nothing is right anywhere, not even the old man . …too tricky, too weird, his daughter is dead, the body is still there, but he is surprisingly …… surprisingly ……"
Said the octopus, the beautiful eyes of the octopus suddenly brightened up: "Niu Ba brother, that old man since the door, never asked a word about his daughter haunted …… instead of weighing in on some trivial things, we are here to catch ghosts ah, this is too abnormal, too out of the ordinary, the old man's heart seems to …… not care about his daughter as if ……"
"Still smart!" Meng Fan gently tapped the octopus's forehead with his knuckles and said with a condensed brow, "There's something weird about the haunting, and what exactly is that thing …… the old lady said? If we can figure out the truth, the haunted thing can be addressed with the right remedy to solve the problem, and the grudge is merely one of the factors of the haunting ……"
He sighed: "That female ghost is so tossed, or tossed his own family …… I'm afraid that there is an unknown secret hidden behind the matter, we have to investigate."
After saying that, he and the octopus turned around and entered the building, intending to look for some clues to see if they could find the real reason for the haunting.
And that old man wearing a long shirt and a lab coat, dressed like an old scholar, mysteriously went out of the city, and even traveled in the direction of Tiger Yang Guan ……
"These rooms, cleaned too clean, clean a little too much." Walking from room to room, discovering some very counterintuitive problems, Meng Fan's brows wrinkled more and more tightly, his footsteps stopped in a room, "This should be that old man's room …… Octopus you see what's wrong?"
The octopus walked around the room, touching here and there, and said, "It's really clean …… But the problem, well, still don't see it, hehehe!"
Meng Fan shook his head, also wandered around, and finally took out a tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush from the restroom and threw it to the octopus, who looked at it and asked suspiciously, "Is this …… a problem?"
"This toothpaste is used, there is already half a tube left, but this toothbrush, but there is not a bit of toothpaste flavor, it is brand new …… This is very abnormal …… many, many places, are not normal, the bed sheets and covers, the shoe cabinet's Slippers, closet clothes, the toilet in the restroom …… are all illustrating a problem, the old man absolutely did not live in this room, everything in this room, are disguised, is done to outsiders to see …… even catching ghosts, I am afraid that they are all done to people to see. "
"I said it …… that old man kooky …… " octopus skimmed the small mouth, "just why he wants to do so, in the end there is what want to hide the and what's wrong with being known by those friends and family, and also, catching ghosts isn't also good for him ……"
"Take a look and say ……" Meng Fan said, and checked a few rooms, are pretty much the same situation, only the room of the woman's corpse, but the atmosphere of life is very rich, hair wrapped around the comb, the pillowcase is worn and balled up, the buttons of the remote control is shiny …… clearly looks like she has been living here for a long time!
"Niu Ba brother, I can see the problem ……" At this moment, the two stood in the room of the female corpse, the octopus's beautiful eyes penetrated a touch of enlightenment, "This villa… . in fact, only that female corpse lives here, others are pretending to live here, even that old lady said words, also true or false, here …… full of lies!"
"To the female corpse ……" the octopus weighs the words and says slowly, "this place is actually a …… cage! "
