Xingnian Tea House

Chapter 30

"Captain Lin, are you asleep?"

Lin Nanyue was stunned when he received the message, and then replied with a message, "Not yet, is there anything wrong?"

"Being disturbed by those people today, I forgot to tell you something. I was chatting with Tao Hui today, and I suddenly discovered a suspicious point..."

Lin Nanyue carefully looked at the message from Qiao Xingnian, his tired spirit became excited again, he sat on the head of the bed, and replied: "You mean that someone else did something in his car. "

"Yes, using Ma Guojun's ghost to kill people can be done silently. There is no need to tamper with the car. This will only arouse suspicion and is not conducive to his plan."

Lin Nanyue was thoughtful, and after a while, he replied again: "Then who do you think tampered with his car?"

Qiao Xingnian thought for a while and replied: "Yu Xiaoxi or Zhang Qi. I heard from Team Lin before that Yu Xiaoxi once said that Liu Zhaoqian had driven Tao Hui's car. If Liu Zhaogan's action is ruled out, then Yu Xiaoxi is very likely Might be lying."

"If Yu Xiaoxi did it, why would she still dare to ride in Tao Hui's car? Isn't she afraid that something will happen to her?"

"I can't answer this. Team Lin has to ask the Technical Investigation Division."

After the message was sent, Qiao Xingnian followed up with another message, "Team Lin, did Yu Xiaoxi stay in the private room the night of the incident?"

Lin Nanyue recalled the content of the surveillance video and said: "I went out once, about 10 minutes, but went to the bathroom."

"What about Zhang Qi?"

"Zhang Qi didn't."

"Team Lin, I think it should be one of them. You can ask someone to check it out."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

"Team Lin have a good rest, good night." When "Good night" was hit, an emoji popped up, Qiao Xingnian hesitated, and clicked on that emoji.

It's been a while since I've been in touch with Qiao Xingnian. It's the first time Lin Nanyue saw an emoji. She couldn't help but froze, raised the corner of her mouth subconsciously, picked out a cute emoji and sent it, "Good night."

Inside the detention center, Liu Zhaoqian was lying on his side on the bed, his pale face glowing with blueness, his eyes were closed, but his eyeballs kept moving, and his brows were also wrinkled into a pimple.

Suddenly, the lights flickered, and the guarding policeman stood up vigilantly, patrolled around, and found nothing unusual, so he breathed a sigh of relief and sat back to his original position.

"It may be that the line is aging, and it will be reflected tomorrow and above."

"Well, just keep an eye on it, I'll go to the bathroom."

"Success, you go, I'm here to watch."

A policeman got up and went to the toilet, but the policeman left behind suddenly felt sleepy, and then fell asleep on the table.

Liu Zhaoqian woke up from the nightmare, his wide-open eyes were full of panic, he was panting heavily, and the corners of his forehead were densely covered with cold sweat.After a while, he gradually calmed down, sat up slowly, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Feng Yu..."

An indistinct voice rang in his ears, which made Liu Zhaoqian's heart twitch. He suddenly raised his head and looked around, but saw nothing.

"Feng Yu..."

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the gloomy voice sounded again, this time the voice was very clear, and he heard those two words clearly.

"Who is it? Who are you? Come out!"

Liu Zhaoqian was terrified. He was not an ignorant Xiaobai. He was well aware of the existence of ghosts. It was not that he had never seen this kind of situation before, but his amulet was gone, and he was helpless when he encountered ghosts.

"Who am I? Who am I..."

The voice became clearer and clearer, and it could be distinguished that it was a man's voice, repeating the same sentence, the voice changed from heavy to soft, and gradually turned into a whisper.

The man's voice was very familiar to Liu Zhaoqian, and the fear in his eyes was even worse. He came to the door and shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, I want to get out, let me out!"

No matter how much he shouted, no one answered, as if he was the only one in the entire detention center.His throat was burning and hurt, but he didn't dare to stop, because once he stopped, the dead atmosphere around him would drive him crazy.

"who am I?"

A clear voice came from his ear, and the chilly air rushed towards his face. Liu Zhaoqian's heart contracted suddenly, and he turned his head tremblingly. A familiar face came into view, but now it looked so terrifying.

"who am I?"

The resentful ghost stared straight at him with sharp eyes, full of doubts, and from the sunken half of his head, a mixture of red and white kept flowing out, dripping onto his blood-stained clothes.

"Ouch!" The body reacted instinctively, causing Liu Zhaoqian to bend down and vomit non-stop. He vomited up everything he ate at night, and the whole cell was filled with the sour smell of vomit.

"who I am!"

Different from the previous confusion and bewilderment, the tone of the complaining ghost became fierce, and the pair of blood-red eyes looked at him coldly, like a wild beast staring at its prey.

"I don't know, I don't know, don't come here, don't come here..."

Liu Zhaoqian staggered back, he wanted to escape, but he was locked in this small cell, and he couldn't escape at all.

"You don't know? How could you not know! I'm going to kill you, kill you!"

The resentment around the ghost surged, and then his figure flashed, appearing in front of Liu Zhaoqian again.The grieving ghost stretched out his right hand, and the sharp nails pierced his skin. The pain of being torn flesh was sent to his brain immediately. It's like freezing, can't move at all.

The hand completely submerged into his chest, grasped the beating heart in his chest, pulled it hard, and the bright red heart was pulled out.

Liu Zhaoqian looked at the beating heart in the hand of the grieving ghost, his fear reached the extreme, and his eyes fainted.

The policeman who went to the bathroom returned to the duty room and found the colleague who stayed behind lying on the table. He quickly took off his baton, walked carefully to the colleague, and sniffed his breath with his hand.

Seeing that his colleague was breathing steadily, the policeman couldn't help but let out a long breath. He stretched out his hand and pushed, and then shouted twice, "Xu Kun, Xu Kun!"

Xu Kun opened his eyes in a daze, looked at him blankly, and said, "Xiang Min, what's wrong with me?"

"You asked me, but I still want to ask you. You lay here motionless, and I thought something happened to you. It scared me to death."

Xu Kun thought for a while and said, "You went to the toilet just now, and then I suddenly felt sleepy, and then I don't remember."

"Suddenly sleepy?" Xiang Min said alertly, "Not good! Take a quick look at the prisoners inside!"

Xu Kun also came back to his senses, went into the cell with Xiang Min, and found Liu Zhaoqian unconscious on the ground.

Xiang Min quickly opened the cell, and a foul smell came to his nostrils, which almost stumped him, and retched twice instinctively.

Xu Kun pulled him out, went into the cell by himself, checked Liu Zhaoqian's breath, and said, "I just passed out, hurry up for an ambulance!"

Xiang Min quickly called the ambulance, looked at the vomit on the ground, and said, "Xu Kun, do you think there is something wrong with dinner?"

"The food in this prison is uniform. Why is it that other prisoners are fine, but he has problems? Unless someone specially poisoned his food."

Speaking of this, Xu Kun quickly took out his mobile phone, called Jiao Gang, the director of the detention center, and explained what happened just now.

Before the meeting, the ambulance arrived, Xu Kun called another policeman to get into the ambulance, and Xiang Min stayed on duty.

At noon the next day, Qiao Xingnian was preparing lunch when he suddenly felt the phone in his pocket vibrate.He washed his hands, took out his mobile phone to look at it, and then shouted: "Brother, come and see the fire, I'll answer the call."

Jiang Mohan responded, got up and went to the kitchen, and asked curiously, "Whose phone is it?"

"A friend. Brother, just turn off the fire in another 5 minutes, remember to stir fry, don't burn it."

"understood."

Qiao Xingnian took the phone back to his room and connected the call.

"Hey, Team Lin, is the DNA test result coming out?"

"Well, you guessed it right. The DNA comparison between Liu Zhaoqian and Tao Jian shows that they are father and son."

Qiao Xingnian's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said: "It seems that my speculation is correct. The Liu Zhaoqian who appeared in front of people is actually Feng Yu who has evaporated from the world."

"Well, there is one more thing." Lin Nanyue paused, and continued: "Last night, Liu Zhaoqian suddenly passed out in the detention center. The doctor said that he may have been stimulated or frightened."

Qiao Xingnian was startled, and then said, "Team Lin won't think I did it, will he?"

Lin Nanyue was speechless for a while, he was indeed so skeptical, but he couldn't say this no matter what.

Although Lin Nanyue didn't answer, Qiao Xingnian understood what he meant and said, "Last night, I went to bed after discussing the case with Team Lin. I haven't left the house until now. If I wanted to take a shortcut, I wouldn't Check it out now."

Lin Nanyue sensed something wrong in Qiao Xingnian's tone, and quickly said, "I'm just asking, don't be angry."

Qiao Xingnian also seemed to realize that his emotions were a little agitated, and he was vigilant in his heart. He quickly recited the Qingxin mantra silently, and when he calmed down, he said, "Captain Lin, I didn't do what happened last night."

"Well, I believe you."

Qiao Xingnian was stunned, he didn't expect Lin Nanyue to believe him so easily, and said, "Captain Lin, I think the people hiding behind Liu Zhaoqian are trying to kill someone to silence him."

"You mean the person who taught him to raise ghosts?"

"Yes. Team Lin, if you are free now, come pick me up and let's go to the hospital together."

"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

Qiao Xingnian changed her clothes and went out, looked at Jiang Mohan in the kitchen, and said, "Brother, I have something to go out, so don't wait for me to eat."

"The meal is ready. If there is anything to do, we can't go after the meal."

"Brother, a big customer came to the store, and Hu Jing couldn't make up her mind, so I have to go over there." In order not to worry Jiang Mohan, Qiao Xingnian made a fuss, changed his shoes and went out.

Seeing this, Jiang Mohan shook his head helplessly, and divided the dishes in the pot into two portions, one for himself and one for the refrigerator.

Qiao Xingnian waited at the gate of the community for a while, and then saw Lin Nanyue's car approaching from a distance.He walked to the side of the road, and when the car stopped, he opened the door and sat in.

Lin Nanyue looked up at Qiao Xingnian in the rearview mirror, hesitated for a while, and said, "I'm sorry just now, I shouldn't have doubted you."

Qiao Xingnian shook his head and said, "It's me who should say I'm sorry. You are a policeman. Suspicion is instinct. I overreacted."

Hearing what Qiao Xingnian said, Lin Nanyue's uneasy heart calmed down. He didn't realize at all that he had already started to care about Qiao Xingnian.

"Team Lin, how is Liu Zhaoqian doing now?"

"Still in a coma. It's strange that his body is functioning normally except for some damage to his stomach due to vomiting. It shouldn't cause him to go into a coma."

"Vomit? Is there something wrong with the food he's eating?"

"According to the police at the detention center, only Liu Zhaogan had this situation."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said nothing.

Half an hour later, the car drove into the hospital. Qiao Xingnian returned to his soul state and followed Lin Nanyue to Liu Zhaoqian's ward.

Seeing Lin Nanyue approaching, the policeman at the gate quickly got up to say hello and said, "Team Lin."

"How's the situation inside?"

"Still in a coma, the doctor examined him carefully again, and found no abnormalities."

Lin Nanyue nodded, opened the door and entered the ward, followed by Qiao Xingnian.

As soon as Qiao Xingnian entered the ward, he felt a clear resentment, and when he looked at Liu Zhaoqian on the hospital bed, his whole body was enveloped by resentment.

Seeing Qiao Xingnian frowned, Lin Nanyue asked softly, "How is he?"

Qiao Xingnian didn't speak, but came to the hospital bed, recited the spell silently, pinched his fingers, and tapped Liu Zhaoqian's forehead. After a while, he withdrew his hand, looked at Lin Nanyue, and said, "His soul has been pumped out!" Gone, now there is only a shell left, and I won't wake up again."

Lin Nanyue was startled, and then said, "You mean he's hopeless?"

Qiao Xingnian thought for a while and said, "I can try to summon his soul. If his soul is still there, there is still hope. I'm afraid his soul has already been destroyed."

"Then you help him summon his soul. The case has not been solved yet, and he cannot die now."

"Not now, it needs to be done at midnight, and there is surveillance in this room, it can't take pictures of me, but it can take pictures of the items, and it won't be able to explain clearly at that time."

"Okay, I'll take care of it, and you can call back his soul in Zishi."

Qiao Xingnian thought for a while and said, "Team Lin, besides Kanghua Community, does Liu Zhaoqian have any other residences?"

"He used to own a house in Heyun Community on Jiangnan Road, but he sold it to someone else two years ago."

"When did he start living in that house?"

"After graduating from university, I don't know the details."

"During college, did Liu Zhaoqian have any record of renting a house, or did Feng Yu ever rent a house?"

The successive questions made Lin Nanyue alert. He looked at Qiao Xingnian and said, "Do you suspect that he hid the corpse in those houses?"

"It's just a suspicion. But we have to find the real Liu Zhaoqian."

"I'll send someone to check now."

In the middle of the night, Lin Nanyue and Qiao Xingnian went to the monitoring room together. Lin Nanyue attracted the attention of the security guards, while Qiao Xingnian entered the monitoring room and turned off the monitoring of the ward.

Afterwards, the two went back to the ward together. Lin Nanyue's task was still to attract the attention of the police so that Qiao Xingnian could summon Liu Zhaoqian's soul.

Qiao Xingnian took out the things he had prepared in advance, sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, and recited the spell silently. The spell in his hand suddenly ignited, and the burning ashes did not fall on the ground, but turned into little sparks and flew towards Liu Zhaoqian on the bed. Then it slowly gathered in the sky directly above him, turning into a golden charm, and entered Liu Zhaoqian's body in a blink of an eye.

Qiao Xingnian then took down the Soul Requiem Bell around his neck, closed his eyes and chanted the spell silently, while shaking the Soul Requiem Bell lightly, "Dingling, Dingling", the crisp bell sounded rhythmically, and the body of the bell faintly shone with golden lights. Light.

After a while, Qiao Xingnian opened his eyes, put on the Soul Relief Bell again, got up and walked out the door.

Seeing him coming out, Lin Nanyue finished talking with the police, pushed away from the ward and walked in.

Qiao Xingnian walked back to the ward again, and said bluntly: "The summoning failed, his soul has probably been destroyed in all likelihood, and he will never wake up again."

"Is there really no other way?"

Qiao Xingnian shook his head, and said: "I used the soul-repressing bell when calling back the soul, but I still couldn't call back his soul. I can already confirm that his soul was destroyed."

Disappointment flashed across Lin Nanyue's eyes, he looked at Liu Zhaoqian on the bed with some frustration, and said, "If this is the case, then it will be even more difficult for us to investigate."

Qiao Xingnian comforted: "The basic context of the case is clear. As long as we don't give up, the truth of this case will be revealed one day."

Lin Nanyue looked at Qiao Xingnian, took a deep breath, and said, "You are right, as long as we don't give up, the truth will always come out."

"It's late, let's go back, we'll talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do."

Lin Nanyue looked at Liu Zhaoqian on the bed again, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

When the two came to the parking lot, Qiao Xingnian's heart suddenly contracted. He turned his head to look in the direction of the hospital gate, but saw nothing.

Qiao Xingnian covered his chest with his hands. Although he was in the state of a soul, because of the Soul Relief Bell, his body functions were no different from when he was alive.

The extremely dangerous feeling just now was so obvious, but only for a moment, when he tried to sense it again, it disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Qiao Xingnian's expression was wrong, Lin Nanyue couldn't help asking with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Qiao Xingnian shook his head and said, "It's okay, maybe it's because I spent too much mental energy in calling the soul just now, and I feel a little tired."

"Get in the car, I'll take you home now."

The two didn't say any more, and got into the car one after another.After getting in the car, Qiao Xingnian began to close his eyes and meditate. He didn't say a word the whole time. Lin Nanyue was a little worried, but he didn't know how to help him.

It wasn't until he came outside the gate of Heping Community that Lin Nanyue said, "We're here."

Qiao Xingnian opened his eyes, turned to look at Lin Nanyue, and said with a smile, "Thank you Team Lin."

"Are you really okay?" Lin Nanyue hesitated for a while before asking.

"Team Lin, don't forget that I'm on a bad job. If anything happens, I'll just rest for one night." Qiao Xingnian got out of the car and said, "Team Lin, drive carefully on the road and go back early to rest."

"Okay. If there's anything I can do to help, just ask."

"Team Lin, don't worry, I'm never polite to my friends."

The word "friend" easily pleased Lin Nanyue, the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly raised, and said, "Then I'll go back first, good night."

"Good night."

Qiao Xingnian turned around and wanted to leave, but he backed away, took out a charm from the Soul Requiem Bell, handed it to Lin Nanyue, and said, "Team Lin, take this charm, it's a charm similar to a locator , as long as this spell is on you, I can lock your position."

Lin Nanyue took the talisman, put it away carefully, and said, "Thank you, I will keep it close to me."

Lin Nanyue's action fully demonstrated his trust in him. This action pleased Qiao Xingnian. He smiled and said, "Then we will see you tomorrow."

Lin Nanyue was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and said, "See you tomorrow."

Qiao Xingnian turned around and entered the community, and Lin Nanyue also drove home.

Qiao Xingnian entered the door in the state of a soul, went back to the room to take the pajamas, and turned into a real body after entering the bathroom, so as not to wake up the light sleeper Jiang Mohan.

After taking a comfortable hot bath, Qiao Xingnian felt much better. As soon as he walked out of the bathroom with his clothes in his arms, he saw Jiang Mohan coming out of the room.

"When did you come back?" Jiang Mohan looked at Qiao Xingnian sleepily.

Seeing Jiang Mohan's exhausted appearance, Qiao Xingnian felt distressed for a while, and said, "Brother, next time I come back, don't wake up, you didn't sleep well in the first place."

"I'm fine. Seeing you come back, I feel at ease and sleep soundly."

"Brother, why don't you move back home. My schedule is different from yours, which will affect your rest. Look at your dark circles, which are comparable to pandas."

"You are by my side, I'm still not at ease. If I move out, I won't be able to sleep." Jiang Mohan stepped forward, touched the top of his hair, and said with a smile: "I am a doctor, and I know my body well. Come on, don't worry."

Qiao Xingnian thought for a while and said, "Brother, wait, I'll go back to my room to get something."

Jiang Mohan also followed after hearing the words, and said, "What?"

Qiao Xingnian took out a bracelet from the drawer, handed it to Jiang Mohan and said, "Brother, this is made of century-old mahogany, and it is engraved with runes to exorcise ghosts. I asked for it from a master. Wear it carefully." Now, it’s best not to leave your body for a moment.”

"Exorcism?" Jiang Mohan took the bracelet over and said, "You won't be deceived, right? There are no ghosts in this world. To be honest, how much did you pay for this thing?"

"Brother, this thing is priceless, I begged for it. I know you don't believe it, even if it's to make me feel at ease, you should wear it properly."

"It looks pretty, okay, I'll just wear it." Jiang Mohan said disgusted, but still put the bracelet on his hand.

"Okay, go to bed quickly, you have to go to work tomorrow."

"Okay. Remember to blow dry your hair before going to bed." Jiang Mohan couldn't help but reminded.

"I know, I know, go to bed quickly." Qiao Xingnian pushed Jiang Mohan out of the room.

Something happened to Liu Zhaoqian and he couldn't speak anymore. If he wanted the case to progress, he had to follow Qiao Xingnian's thinking and check Yu Xiaoxi and Zhang Qi, and Liu Zhaogan, which was Feng Yu's residence.

Qiao Xingnian had just finished lunch when he received a call from Lin Nanyue, changed his clothes and went out.

In the car, Qiao Xingnian asked aloud, "Team Lin, where are we going?"

"Xiaowangzhuang, an urban village not far from Huda, Feng Yu moved out of the dormitory shortly after reporting at Huda and rented a room in Xiaowangzhuang."

"A village in the city? A bungalow with a courtyard?"

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "Yes. If it is true that he hid the body in his residence as you guessed, then it must be there."

"Compared to buildings, it is indeed suitable for hiding corpses."

After driving for more than 40 minutes, they finally entered Xiaowangzhuang. They parked the car at the entrance of the village and walked into the village. After asking several villagers, they finally found out that Feng Yu had rented a house.

The courtyard door was open. Lin Nanyue and Qiao Xingnian came to the door and raised their voices, "Excuse me, is there anyone at home?"

After calling several times in a row, there was a response from inside. A middle-aged woman came out, looked at the two people at the door, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"

Lin Nanyue took out his ID and said, "Hi, I'm a policeman from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Team."

The woman looked at Lin Nanyue's ID and said, "Comrade policeman, did you find the wrong person? We are all honest people with our own duties."

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, we are just making a routine visit, as long as you answer our questions truthfully."

The woman nodded and said, "Oh, then you can ask, I will tell you what I know."

"Can we go in and talk?"

"Okay, please come in." The woman regained her senses and stepped aside to open the door.

Qiao Xingnian and Lin Nanyue entered the door one after another, and the woman led them into the yard.

Qiao Xingnian observed the surrounding environment. The yard here is not big. Except for the main room, there are two rooms built on the other two walls. The doors of the rooms are locked, and clothes are drying outside the door.

The woman let the two of them into the main room, called them to sit down, and poured a glass of water respectively.

"Sister-in-law, don't be too busy, sit down and let's talk."

"Oh, good." The woman moved a stool and sat opposite them, looking a little nervous.

Qiao Xingnian asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I heard that all the houses in your yard are rented out?"
