Chapter 22.
He said this very naturally, barely thinking before blurting it out. Lin Tian and I knew each other very well, and could pretty much tell at a glance if the other person was lying.
But this appearance he had now, this tone of voice, surprisingly there wasn't a trace of falsehood, as if he really didn't know what had happened before, anyway, I didn't see any weird ground counter at all.
Ding Ding and I glanced at each other, he was instead much more determined than me. Straight to the point, just now Tan Xi was attacked again, the cause was that you lied to him on the phone, so much so that the ghosts were lured to the house.
Lin Tian froze for a moment, still looking confused, saying I have no idea what you guys are talking about?
After saying that, he looked towards me and asked, Tan Xi, you won't suspect me of trying to harm you again, right? Could it be that just because I said something in anger at noon, everything can be held against me now?
I said I didn't mean that, it's just that what I heard on the phone at that time was indeed your voice, and what was said was pretty much the same as it is now. And I never thought that you were trying to harm me, I was just worried that you were under some kind of compulsion or being targeted by a ghost.
Lin Tian then held back his temper, he thought for a moment, suddenly took out the phone, said Look for yourself, from noon to now there is nothing at all incoming calls, can not also check my phone bill.
I'm not sure if there will be a record left of the calls in this dream, I can't help but look at Ding Ding, he beamed, thought for a while, and said that checking these is useless, ghost calls, how can you leave a number?
Lin Tian glared at him for a while, suddenly sighed, dialed a number, and then handed the phone to me, said, ask Lin Jing yourself, I have been with her, whether or not I have received any phone calls, she is very clear.
I hesitantly took it over, the phone held in my hand, surprisingly a little heavy. Never thought that Lin Tian and I also need to come to the step of facing each other to question.
Beeping sound for a while, and then came Lin Jing's voice, she shouted on the other end, brother.
I said girl, I am Tan Xi.
She quickly responded, said Tan brother ah, my brother has gone over to find you, he put the things I said told you not?
I busy said, Lin Tian told me you are fine, I also some quite sorry you, you do not take it to heart.
Lin Jing said it is fine, it is fine, it is me who is too timid. Brother Tan, you really need to take care of yourself, go find that headless female ghost earlier.
I wondered, "Headless female ghost? How do you know it's a female?
Lin Jing immediately roared up, and Lin Tian a temperament, said, I did not let my brother to talk to you, why you still do not know anything ah! In the end, he did not listen to me properly ah!
I busy said girl you don't worry, I ask him myself on it, you have a good rest, first of all.
Lin Jing exchanged a few pleasantries on the other end of the phone before hanging up.
I returned the cell phone to Lin Tian, he did not reach out, just looked at me quietly, silent for a while, said, why don t you ask about the phone?
I threw the phone at him and said, If you say you haven't done it, then you haven't done it, if I don't believe you, there's no one else I can believe.
I don't know if this is a kind of self-deception, but in the face of my best friend, there is really a kind of even if wrongly believe that you have to wait until the evidence is irrefutable to die. Moreover, since Lin Tian dared to let me ask, then I definitely couldn't ask anything. Now all kinds of speculation, will only divide each other's trust and relationship only.
Lin Tian sat up straight and said count on you kid to be sensible.
I asked him, what is the headless female ghost that Lin Jing said?
Ding Ding also came over, curiously listening to the conversation between the two of us.
Lin Tian said, or my sister has a way, we are some do not watch the news TV, but she looked at the phone newspaper every day, said a few days ago, the newspaper also news reports, there is a woman in the city was killed, and finally was divided into corpses of things.
Lin Tian said on the one hand, one side of the first off the report turned out to show me. In fact, I myself also subscribe to the cell phone newspaper, in the past when I was in college, every day nothing will look at it, and then went to work, time is not so easy, gradually did not pay attention to it. But it had never been canceled either.
I opened and read the news, found that it was three days ago, the woman was walking home alone at night when she disappeared, and later in the park pool found her body, the body has been soaked puffy, but the body did not have a head, her body wallet jewelry are missing, the identity was also later determined. Later, according to police speculation, the murderer may be a recidivist, and the methods are quite similar to the previous robbery homicide.
The previous robbery and murder, that is, Wang's things, but the good thing is that Wang's death are not so tragic, just resisted after being stabbed only.
I really hate this murderer, murder twice, he still get away with it, I can be his suffering.
After understanding these things, I don't know how to face Lin Tian. Earlier, I was still suspicious of him, but now, he and Lin Jing, but still thinking of ways for my matter, I am a little embarrassed, look a little embarrassed.
Lin Tian looked at me like this, and no longer mentioned this matter. He smiled and said how about it, although this is not what I found out, but I at least spread the word, the role is not lower than this godly man, right?
He glanced toward Ding Ding, Ding Ding after the face skin, just as if he did not hear the words of Lin Tian.
I saw that he had been looking at looking at the report, and said, what is attached to me, is it really this woman who was killed?
Ding Ding scratched his head and said, residual souls usually appear because the body is not together, eight or nine is not too far. We have to look around the corpse, maybe the residual soul of her body, is still roaming around.
I don't know much about the murder process. Luckily, Lin Tian said that he had already looked for connections to inquire, the body in the police autopsy investigation, after confirming the identity, has been taken back by the family. The family did not make too much noise, after all, the person has died, in addition to hoping that the police must catch the murderer outside of no requirements, the body has been cremated and buried. As for which cemetery, it is still unclear, I am still waiting for news.
Ding Ding nodded, said this is good, wait for news tomorrow, we will go to find that residual soul. First deal with the matter of possession, after all, the longer you delay, the greater the damage to your body.
This is the only way, we now, can only wait for news to come from Lin Tian's side. Then make our next move.
I look at the time, it's already late, this day is not too peaceful, it's rare to be able to fall asleep regardless. Ding Ding has already run to wash up, Lin Tian is still sitting on the sofa, I see that he does not want to go, ask him what is wrong?
He said nothing, today I will stay here.
I laughed a little, said my small temple can afford you this big Buddha ah.
Lin Tian disdainful look at me, said how, I have to be here, so that I go some people will suspect me.
I face trembling some can not hang, said come on, count me sorry you. But the room can not, to sleep you sleep sofa to go!
Lin Tian still put on a young master's frame, said I am a wronged person, it is not easy to get innocent, did not expect only sleep on the sofa treatment!
He said, he also sighed a long sigh, full of grievances.
Ding Ding just finished washing up, he walked out of the bathroom, heard me and Lin Tian's conversation, brushed a moment and ran to his own room and closed the door, afraid that one of us occupied his bed.
I would have been a little self-condemnation feel sorry for Lin Tian, he said, I can only soften, said, line line, you sleep in my bed to go, I sleep on the sofa.
Lin Tian said never mind, we sleep together, I still have something to say to you.
I "ah" a sound, Lin Tian said you are afraid of what, and not without sleep, I do not mind you.
I confessed to Lin Tian, saying that the past two nights sleep is not real, as if it will also sleepwalking, if something happens I'm not responsible.
Lin Tian said that you swim your chant, on your small body, sleepwalking in addition to suicide, you think you can still hurt other people not.
I saw that he did not take it to heart, and did not say much.
After the two of us washed up separately, we also went to sleep.
Lin Tian sat on the bed, leaning against the wall lit a cigarette, I asked him what he wanted to say, make mysterious.
He ignored me, stammered for a while, only to say, Tan Xi, before you really doubt me?
I'll be honest, it's impossible not to have a little doubt.
I thought he was going to be furious, but I didn't expect him to let out a laugh and said Actually, you're right, even I doubted myself.
I heard this is strange, asked him how to say so?
Lin Tian said, I don't know what's going on, these two days in a trance, sometimes a freeze is a few hours, and when I react, and can't remember what I did during this period. It's like intermittent amnesia. So you just asked me about the phone call, I don't have any memory of it, but I can't guarantee that I didn't do it.
I sat up and looked at Lin Tian, who also looked at me, his face not much better than mine. I asked him, why didn't you say those words just now?
He inhaled a mouthful of cigarettes, spit it out, suddenly pointed to the next door Ding Ding's room, said, I do not trust him, these things you know as long as you want to prevent me to pay attention to me a little bit, because I do not know I will do something out. But you must know that I never meant to hurt you.
I said I believe that. But what the hell is wrong with you now ah, usually see can not be seen when there is no problem, it could not be the aftermath of the last car accident, right?
Lin Tian said that he had also considered this, and when he sent Lin Jing to the hospital today he checked himself on the way, but the doctor said that he had recovered very well and that there was nothing unusual.
I remembered that Xie Ning had opened her mouth to bring up the matter of Lin Tian, and it was only at this time that I noticed that as ghosts and monsters, they had all those weird abilities, and were perfectly capable of following me around and waiting for me to go home unnoticed. But why did they still go to such lengths to bring up Lin Tian's name first to remove my wariness.
After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly realized that this might be a warning, meaning that they had already noticed the people around me, and if I insisted on not handing over the bloodper, they might start with the people around me, and Lin Tian might already be on their radar.
