"No way, he's really dead?!" Zhao Youliang was stunned upon hearing this.

"Then...then what Xiao Li encountered last night was really a ghost? But how could a living person beat up a ghost?"

"Aren't ghosts supposed to be untouchable?!"

Because Zhao Youliang's voice was very soft, Officer Zhao did not hear him clearly.

"Quantum, what did you say? Speak louder, I didn't hear you."

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Zhao Youliang quickly waved his hand and pulled the unlicensed taxi driver, Xiao Li, around to leave.

"Brother Zhao, you're busy, we'll head back now!"

On the way back to the paper shop, a question lingered in Zhao Youliang's mind.

Judging from the way Fatty Ma died, he must have encountered something evil.

Otherwise, even the most ruthless killer wouldn't be able to force a person weighing 250 or 260 pounds into a freezer.

But why would something evil target Fatty Ma? Weren't those three evil spirits dealt with a while ago?

After Zhao Youliang voiced his doubts, he saw Xiao Li pull out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket with a mournful face—the kind of money that smelled of decay.

Zhao Youliang was taken aback: "You secretly kept one too?"

"Weren't there barbecue stalls there the day before yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li shook his head frantically: "I didn't leave it there, am I stupid?!"

"It fell out of Fatty Ma's pocket when he came to my house and we got into a fight!"

"I was just about to tell you, but I forgot in my haste!"

"It fell out of his pocket?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang recalled carefully and instantly understood the reason.

It turns out that Fatty Ma sniffed the money the day before yesterday and, while Zhao Youliang and Xiao Li weren't looking, slipped one into his pocket!

That's why he was attacked by evil spirits!

The evil spirit arrived first and made its own paper shop. After being chased away by the paper figures, it went to Fatty Ma's house.

The screams Uncle Gangtou heard last night weren't from his father disciplining Fatty Ma, but from Fatty Ma being tortured by evil spirits!

After everything was sorted out, Zhao Youliang couldn't help but sigh to himself:

Fatty Ma was greedy, lustful, and a swindler throughout his life. In the end, he died because of his greed. Could this be considered a form of retribution...?

For some reason, when the topic of "lust" came up, Zhao Youliang suddenly thought of Yingchun's sister-in-law.

In all honesty, it's not that I, Zhao, am being horny in broad daylight; rather, I have some lingering concerns.

Why am I suddenly worried...? Something terrible has happened!

After that "deadbeat" Ma Pangzi was chased away by Xiao Li, did he run to Yingchun's house?

After all, he had been lusting after this mature and sexy widow while he was alive, and had even knocked on her door in the middle of the night.

If it weren't for Yingchun's fierce temper, which led her to grab a cleaver and chase him away, Fatty Ma might have actually succeeded!

Upon realizing this, Zhao Youliang immediately ran towards Yingchun's house.

Confused, Xiao Li instinctively followed closely: "Quantum, slow down, what's going on?!"

Zhao Youliang had no interest in paying attention to him and just kept running.

When I got to the bottom of Yingchun's house, I looked up and saw the open window on the second floor.

"Oh no, something really has happened!"

"My sister usually doesn't open the windows at home, and even if she does, she won't open them this wide!"

As the saying goes: there's always gossip around a widow's door, especially from a young and alluring widow like Yingchun.

Despite her outspoken and carefree personality, she is actually a conservative and morally upright person at heart.

Therefore, Sister Yingchun is very careful when she is alone and would never sleep with the window open!

With this thought in mind, Zhao Youliang ran upstairs to the second floor and banged on the door: "Sister, sister, are you home?"

Seeing no response, Zhao Youliang, imitating what he did in the movies, kicked the door.

A muffled thud was followed by a scream of "Oh my god!"

Xiao Li, who was behind Zhao Youliang, was dumbfounded when he saw this: "Quantum, are you trying to kick the door open?"

"This is a steel security door! Are you kidding me?!"

Actually, Zhao Youliang already knew he had made a "mistake" without Xiao Li saying anything.

While hopping around in pain, clutching his foot, he said to Xiao Li.

"Quick, quick, help me to the barbecue area!"

"My sister has a spare key hidden over there!"

The matter of the spare key was secretly told to Zhao Youliang by Yingchun's sister-in-law; only the two of them knew about it.

But the situation was urgent, and Zhao Youliang couldn't care less about anything else!

"Why are you running around in this state? I'll go!" Realizing something was wrong, Xiao Li turned and ran.

"Where exactly is it? Tell me quickly!"

When Xiao Li returned, he took the key and opened the door, only to find Yingchun's sister-in-law lying on the floor in her pajamas.

"Sister!" In his panic, Zhao Youliang didn't care about the difference between men and women and immediately limped over to check on the situation.

I reached out to check her breathing... Thankfully, she just fainted!

Zhao Youliang quickly picked up Yingchun's sister-in-law and carried her downstairs, calling out to Xiao Li at the same time.

"Stop standing there like an idiot, hurry up and get the car!"

Although Xiao Li is a reckless fighter, he is the kind of person who is "both firm and unyielding," which is why he and Zhao Youliang are good friends.

Hearing Zhao Youliang yell at him, he wasn't angry at all. He quickly ran home and started his car.

The town is not far from the county seat, only about 20 kilometers away.

In addition, the roads are now either paved or concrete, so they arrived at the hospital in no time.

Actually, Yingchun's sister-in-law woke up before they even reached the county hospital, but she was too weak to speak.

After a doctor's examination, no problem was found; the diagnosis was simply excessive fright.

After administering some energy supplements and sedative IV drips, they were sent home directly.

Because there were many people around and Yingchun's sister-in-law hadn't recovered yet, Zhao Youliang didn't ask what had happened.

Now that there were only the three of them in the car, Zhao Youliang spoke softly.

"Sis, what happened? Why did you faint at home?"

Upon hearing this, the usually forthright and outspoken Sister-in-law Yingchun's face showed a look of horror.

"Quantum, quantum, would you believe me if I said I saw a ghost last night?"

"That ghost, that ghost is someone I know, Fatty Ma!"

Although Xiao Li was mentally prepared, he was still startled when he heard that Fatty Ma had really turned into a ghost.

My hand trembled, and I almost drove the car into the ditch.

After stabilizing the car and calming himself down, Xiao Li said with a long face, "I believe it, of course I believe it!"

"I ran into him last night too, and we even got into a fight. I beat him up..."

It turns out that there were so many people eating at the barbecue stall last night that Sister Yingchun was busy until 2 a.m. before she got home.

I had just finished showering when I heard a knock on the door.

The widowed Sister-in-law Yingchun was always cautious. She first looked out through the peephole and saw Fatty Ma, who was pale and even had frost on his face.

While wondering why he looked like this even though it wasn't winter, Sister-in-law Yingchun cursed loudly.

"You fatso, are you asking for trouble again? Are you here to cause trouble once more?"

"Get out of here! If you don't, I'm going to the police station to report you tomorrow!"
