The person who reported the case lives diagonally opposite the garden building.
Tube-shaped buildings in the old city.
Ju Jingbai couldn't help frowning as he followed Wang Bai into the room.
This old-style tube-shaped building has poor light transmittance, narrow corridors, and close proximity between neighbors. The area belonging to one's own home is very small, making it particularly prone to quarrels. It is estimated that the neighborhood relations are rarely harmonious.
At the same time, this kind of place is also where weak ghosts like to stay. The dejection inside can easily nourish darkness and strengthen themselves.
"Brother Wang, which floor does the person who reported the case live on?" Ju Jingbai asked.
"Fourth floor, room 402." Wang Bai said, "These people usually don't like us to come over and question them, so just follow behind me and pay attention to what I say, so that you will have more ideas in mind when you go out to do things on your own in the future." Wang Bai knocked on the door.
The door opened. A woman in her fifties or sixties opened it. She had gray hair at the corners of her temples and her skin had not been well maintained. There were many wrinkles around her eyes and brown spots on her cheeks. She looked at Wang Bai warily, and then when she saw the police uniform on Wang Bai, she suddenly relaxed.
"Auntie, are you Ms. Cai Huijuan? We are the police. Today you reported to the police that a murder occurred across the street. There are some specific details that I couldn't hear clearly over the phone, so I would like to ask you." Wang Bai said.
"Oh oh oh, okay, come in."
Ju Jingbai was stunned. If she was not mistaken, when Cai Huijuan heard Wang Bo say that they were police officers, she did not show negative emotions, but joy.
Obviously Wang Bo also noticed this weirdness.
Ordinary elderly people will inevitably feel restrained and fearful when facing the police.
Wang Bai and Ju Jingbai looked at each other and entered first.
Ju Jingbai followed him in. The interior decoration was very old, and it looked like they had lived there for many years. The TV was still on, playing a rural ethics drama at a very loud volume.
"Auntie, do you live alone?" Wang Bai asked with a smile.
"No, I have another daughter. My eldest daughter has gone to work and has a blind date in the evening. She won't be back until around eight o'clock in the evening." Cai Huijuan poured a glass of water for each of them, turned off the TV, and said with a smile.
"How old is your daughter?" Wang Bai asked casually.
"Twenty-four, an old girl," Cai Huijuan said with a smile. "In the blink of an eye, I've reached the age to get married. But I still don't have a boyfriend. Today's blind date was introduced by the child's aunt. I heard the boy's family is quite well-off."
"Don't be in a hurry. You've just graduated. It's not too late to get married after a few more years of experience in society." Wang Bai said.
Cai Huijuan waved her hand and smiled, obviously disagreeing with what Wang Bai said.
"Auntie, could you please tell me everything that happened today?"
"Okay." Cai Huijuan nodded and recalled, "I'm in menopause now, and I don't sleep well and don't get enough sleep. I woke up around three in the morning this morning and went to the bathroom to pee. It was hot, so I came back and stood by the window to get some fresh air. My bedroom window faces the window of the small house over there."
Cai Huijuan said as she led the two people into her bedroom and pointed at the window.
Ju Jingbai looked over and saw that the fourth floor faced the third floor of the small western-style building opposite. The distance was not too far, just separated by a few trees, and he could indeed see the scene opposite clearly.
"Over by the window, I saw a man and a woman arguing. The man must have slapped the woman. The woman couldn't beat the man, so she was pushed down the stairs during the argument." Cai Huijuan was still scared. The smile disappeared from her face, and she swallowed and said.
"When I saw that scene, my first thought was to call 120. After all, it was only the third floor. I thought she wouldn't die, so I rushed out to save her. I didn't expect the woman to fall at the corner of the stairs, and her brains fell out. It was early in the morning, and I saw it clearly.
I was so scared at the time that I didn't dare to get close, so I turned around and rushed back.
I called you as soon as I got home."
"Auntie, can you describe the two people's figures in detail?" Wang Bai said.
Ju Jingbai could match the rough information about the deceased that Cai Huijuan gave him with the impression in his mind.
"That man, with a buzz cut, must have been about 1.80 meters tall. The woman was right up to his chest, hitting him with such ferocity that even I was shivering when I saw it from the window."
Instead, the burly man seemed to appear out of nowhere and disappear out of nowhere, without leaving any trace.
"You have to arrest that man. Men who beat women like this are really not good people." Cai Huijuan suddenly slapped her thigh. "Oh, by the way, when I called you, I told you it was a quarrel between husband and wife. Now that I think about it, I remember that woman doesn't seem to be young anymore. She has a lot of white hair in her hair."
"Okay, I understand." Wang Bai asked, "Auntie, when you went to the western-style building over there, did the man come out to see if the woman was dead?"
"No...no, I was so scared at the time that I didn't pay attention." Cai Huijuan shook her head.
Ju Jingbai frowned. It seemed that the man might not be human.
But how can Cai Huijuan see ghosts?
Ju Jingbai looked at Cai Huijuan's expression carefully. Her complexion was very healthy and she didn't look like she had been attacked by evil spirits. There were only a few decorations in her residence that were not very good in terms of feng shui, and there was not much place for evil spirits to stay.
"Hey, let's go out and sit down and talk. The mung bean soup I cooked should be ready. Drink a bowl each to prevent heatstroke. You must be tired running outside in such hot weather." Cai Huijuan cheered up again and broke the silence and said.
Wang Bai withdrew his gaze from the window and said with a smile, "No need, Auntie. It's not hot in this room at all. I even feel a little cold. Besides, we'll be leaving soon."
Ju Jingbai nodded, and when she turned around, she paused, touched the dressing mirror covered with brown velvet behind the door, and asked, "Auntie, how long have you had this dressing mirror?"
"This dressing mirror was installed just two months ago. We didn't have a full-length mirror when we renovated our house. This is for my daughter to use when she's getting dressed. We originally wanted to put it in the living room, but I didn't like looking in the mirror at night, so I put it behind my door." Cai Huijuan froze when she mentioned the mirror. She said stiffly, "But it still creeps me out when I see it at night, so I covered it with a piece of velvet."
"Was this mirror covered yesterday?" Ju Jingbai opened the velvet cloth and asked.
"It's covered. I usually don't dare to open it." Cai Huijuan said hurriedly, avoiding the mirror.
"What's wrong?" Wang Bai asked.
"It's okay." Ju Jingbai shook his head and said, "My grandfather always said that mirrors should not be placed inside the house, and should not face the window. He would close the mirror when he went to bed at night. This made me pay more attention to the mirror."
In Feng Shui, mirrors are called light煞. They can avoid and attack evil but they can also wash away people's normal luck.
It is best not to place mirrors in the bedroom, as mirrors may bring evil spirits. Otherwise, why do mirrors occupy so much space in various ghost stories from ancient times to the present? It is not just groundless rumors, but because there are so many evil and strange things caused by mirrors, so there are so many articles describing mirrors.
"Don't spread feudal superstition." Wang Bai said speechlessly. Then his mobile phone rang. He answered it and said, "I'm going out to answer the phone."
Ju Jingbai nodded and squinted his eyes to look at the full-length mirror.
There is definitely something wrong with this mirror. The evil energy in the entire room combined is not as much as that on this mirror.
Ju Jingbai watched Wang Bai walk out the door, then turned to Cai Huijuan and said, "Auntie, what happened to you recently? I noticed you weren't in a good mood recently. Did you go get a talisman?"
Ju Jingbai asked tentatively, because she didn't see any gloomy look on Cai Huijuan's face. It was very likely that the blessings of others temporarily eliminated the influence of the negative state.
Cai Huijuan's eyes lit up, and she suddenly asked in surprise, "Can you tell?"
"Sure enough, the master is right. The police can help me." She said, unable to control the tears in her eyes. "I encountered a strange thing a month ago. It was in this dressing mirror. When I looked in the mirror, there was a black shadow. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but later the black spot grew bigger and bigger.
I told my daughter to find something to wipe the mirror because it was black. But my daughter said there was no black spot at all. I was shocked at that time.
After a few days of careful observation, I realized the black spot was actually a person, a shadowy figure with white teeth bared. It kept getting closer. I considered smashing the mirror, but it was like iron; even a sledgehammer wouldn't leave a mark. I also considered removing the door, but it was useless. It seemed to be stuck to the wall, and the decorator couldn't get it off.
"Why don't you move out?" Ju Jingbai asked.
"We're so poor. I've looked at houses near my daughter's workplace, and the ones that can accommodate the two of us only cost two or three thousand yuan a month in rent. My daughter is still paying off the debt she owed for my husband's medical treatment. If she pays the rent, we'll have nothing to live on. I went to the temple to pray, and the monk there said I'd have a lucky break at the police station and that I'd be out of this trouble."
Cai Huijuan poured out all the fear she had been feeling recently and breathed a sigh of relief: "Otherwise, if I encountered something like this, I wouldn't dare to call the police."
Ju Jingbai nodded. She couldn't see what was inside. She was afraid that Cai Huijuan would need to come over. "Auntie, come here and look in the mirror. I can't see what's inside like this either."
Cai Huijuan sat back in fear. After a long while, she slowly stood up under Ju Jingbai's gaze and walked towards the mirror. She huddled tightly behind Ju Jingbai.
really.
As soon as Cai Huijuan arrived, Ju Jingbai saw the black shadow that Cai Huijuan mentioned. The black shadow was a dark mass, with pure white eyes and pure white teeth when smiling. The black shadow smiled when it saw Cai Huijuan.
He looked like the murderer in Conan.
"Ah." Cai Huijuan screamed in surprise. Fortunately, Ju Jingbai pulled her up and she did not fall.
"Ahhhhhhhh." Echoing Cai Huijuan's exclamation was a terrified scream coming from the western-style building opposite. The boy's voice was a little familiar.
Ju Jingbai looked towards the window and saw a man falling from the third-floor window of the small western-style building.
Ju Jingbai frowned, her hand gleaming with golden light as she drew a sealing talisman, imprinting it on the mirror. She whispered, "Auntie, I'll make you a protective talisman first. I'll come and help you out when I have time tonight. If you need anything, call the police station and ask for me. My name is Ju Jingbai."
"What's going on?" Wang Bai's voice rang out.
Wang Bai rubbed his eyes. He seemed to vaguely see traces of gold emanating from Ju Jingbai's fingertips. He shook his head. He hadn't slept enough recently and was experiencing hallucinations. He said hello to Cai Huijuan, "Auntie, we're leaving first. Xiaobai, wait for me." He turned around and chased after Ju Jingbai.
"Brother Wang, someone fell from the third floor of the western-style building opposite again." Ju Jingbai ran out and passed by a short-haired girl who was going upstairs. He ran quickly to the railing of the community and jumped out over the wall in a few seconds.
She rushed to the small western-style building opposite, but the cordon here had not been removed yet.
Ju Jingbai held his knees, gasping for breath as he saw the dead person. This time, the dead person was actually a police officer in uniform?
She calmed her breathing, crossed the cordon, and walked around the busy police officers to see the front of the deceased. The moment she saw it, her pupils shrank. The dead person was none other than Chang Xu?
She looked at Yan Rong in disbelief, her voice a little hoarse, "What happened? It's only been a few minutes since the start of the game, and Chang Xu is dead like this?"
Yan Rong was even more devastated: "How should I know? Everyone is fine. We even saw the Mirror Ghost when we went in. We were questioning him when Chang Xu suddenly ran into something. It was like he was in a hallucination. He walked to the victim's room and stood by the window.
When I entered the room, I saw a small pink ball flying towards Chang Xu.
Chang Xu was knocked down the stairs by that little ball."
Ju Jingbai said: "Aren't you all together?"
Yan Rong was clearly furious. "Yeah, they were all together. Those three were fine, but Chang Xu died. This metaphysics competition, on the first day of the first round, he fucking died."
Without Ju Jingbai's agreement, Yan Rong pointed at Chang Xu's body and muttered, "I used to have a brother from the frontier who found a very good partner. Now he has become a formal disciple of Cheng'an Sect. I also want to have a good partner. I have found two in total, but they always ask me to come to you to inquire about the news.
The first senior brother of Lingyun Sect couldn’t even get into the police station as a non-staff member. When he saw that I passed, he couldn’t save face and dumped me.
Now in the metaphysical competition, this Qingxuan Sect member has been eliminated again. I've been pretending to be a grandson for so many days, damn it, I should be the first to die."
Ju Jingbai curled the corner of his mouth. This Yan Rong was simply a poisonous chicken soup. He always made himself alive.
Ju Jingbai looked at Yan Rong's expression and took a step back: "You..."
Yan Rong grabbed Ju Jingbai's hand and said, "I've thought about it. It's the first and second time, but not the third and fourth time. You can't let me go to you to get information. Besides, you are definitely stronger than me, and you have better luck. If I acknowledge you as my big brother, this kind of thing will never happen. Ju Jingbai, you will be my big brother from now on. If you want me to do a good job, you can get me into a sect. I really want to have a sect..."
Ju Jingbai: "..."
