Chapter 282: The Widow of the Ghost Master
spouse?
Shuang Ling opened her eyes wide in shock. Three seconds later, she burst into a loud shout: "Sister Yu!"
The black cat at the counter was startled by her sudden high voice. It opened its dark green eyes and hit her arm with its tail in dissatisfaction.
Shuang Ling didn't bother to comfort the cat, his mind was full of question marks.
I haven't heard that the team leader is in love. He is a loner who looks like he has retired to a monastery to live a pure and pure life, but he actually has a partner, a same-sex partner. How could this not surprise Shuang Ling?
"What happened?"
At Shuang Ling's call, a short-haired woman dressed neatly came down from the second floor, lighting a cigarette as she walked down the stairs. Her bloodshot eyes under her thick, slightly heroic eyebrows looked a little tired.
Shuangling: "This gentleman said he is the team leader's lover."
The woman's hand trembled as she lit the cigarette, almost burning her eyebrows. She looked up and down at the overly handsome young man in front of her with a little disbelief, her mind a little blank.
She has been working with Lian Qing for several years and has never seen this person before. Where did he come from?
"Hello sir, my name is Xu Xiaoyu, what is your name?"
Xu Xiaoyu put out her cigarette, walked up to Lin Zhi, and asked Shuang Ling to pour tea for her.
"Lin Zhi, I know you have doubts about my identity. After all, we have never met before, and he probably never mentioned me to you, but I have my own proof."
Lin Zhi's tone was very confident. Xu Xiaoyu was skeptical. Matters concerning Lian Qing were top priority in the Special Department, so she immediately called the minister.
Not to mention that it is not convenient to call the leader at 10 o'clock in the evening, even if it is twelve o'clock, the minister has to answer the phone. After all, the tasks handled by their department are special, and no one is kind enough to appear in broad daylight. If there is really such a powerful person, they cannot deal with it.
Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a polo shirt, with a broad forehead and a square face, stepped into the cozy cat cafe whose temperament was incompatible with him, and looked at Lin Zhi almost scrutinizingly.
His eyes were extremely bright and intimidating, and the effect they created was that even an honest person who was stared at would wonder whether stealing food at the age of three was a crime and whether he needed to reflect on it.
"Minister Chen, he told me about you."
Lin Zhi sat on the chair, looked at him calmly, took out her cell phone and put the call records and chat records in front of them for them to check.
This was of course the work of 01. Even a genius who was proficient in computers would not be able to find out that it was forged. The key content of the chat was handled by Lin Zhi himself, for fear that 01 might have written something wrong.
Even though the content was very tactful, Chen Kuo and Xu Xiaoyu were still a little stunned when they saw Lian Qing's intimate words.
It’s not that dating is forbidden in the organization, and Lian Qing is not considered a Buddhist, so why is he dating behind their backs?
Chen Kuo took out the mobile phone from Lian Qing's belongings with a little hesitation and handed it to Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi pressed his fingerprint, unlocked the phone, and handed it back to them.
Chen Kuo's eyes flashed and he looked through the relevant records.
He must be rigorous. Lian Qing has already sacrificed himself, and he cannot let someone of unknown origin take over everything he has.
01: [Hehe, they won’t be able to find out it’s fake even if they look at it for a year. Anyway, the master won’t be able to come back alive to clarify. 】
Due to the special features of this world, 01 cannot give the host a cheat code, otherwise the host would have the ability to see ghosts and ghosts. Now he can only provide assistance from these aspects. In terms of data, the technological level of this world lags behind it by one dimension.
Chen Kuo used interrogation techniques to ask the same question several times, and Lin Zhi's answers were flawless.
According to Lin Zhi, he and Lian Qing met because of some strange events and had a good impression of each other, but they both had their own things to do and did not make it public.
Chen Kuo sighed and said, "Sorry, Xiaolin, don't blame us for being suspicious. It's just that we have never seen you before. Lian Qing has died and you just happened to show up. That's why we are so careful. Don't be too sad about Lian Qing. He saved many people."
He is no longer young, and there are wrinkles between his brows that indicate frequent frowns, and his words are very earnest.
Lin Zhi nodded: "I know, even if it wasn't for those things he would still do it, that's his wish."
Chen Kuo really had no doubts now. Few people knew Lian Qing's life experience, and no one knew that the old ghost killed by Lian Qing was his enemy. He was the one who recruited Lian Qing in the first place, so he knew exactly what Lian Qing was investigating.
"We have packed up Lian Qing's belongings. He didn't leave much in the department. As for his body... we only found a small part. The rest may have turned to dust."
When Chen Kuo said this, there was unconscious sadness in his eyes, and he took out a small box from his pocket.
Lin Zhi was a little surprised. He knew the location of his lover's head, limbs and torso, so why was there an extra part here?
"This is all we found when we searched."
The black box was opened, revealing a slender, pale finger inside.
The fracture was very neat, the surface was jade white without any blood, the fingers were not rotten and there were no corpse spots on them. It did not look scary, and even had a holy artistic feel.
01: [Host, it is the master's finger. 】
01 I was touched, he really was. I cried my heart out. Even though he was torn into pieces, he still remembered to leave the ring finger of his left hand with a ring for his wife. If this is not love, then what else is love!
Lin Zhi took the box and thanked him in a low voice.
His fingertips gently stroked the severed finger; it was cold and soft, not like a dead object.
Shuang Ling was standing by and watching without blinking. She didn't understand a word of what Sister Yu and the minister said. She craned her neck to read two sentences of the chat history, but gave up for the sake of her spine. However, she knew that what this person said must be true.
If it wasn't a lover, who would look at a severed finger with such tender eyes? No matter how beautiful the finger was and it belonged to the company leader, it was still the severed finger of a dead person.
It’s great that the team leader has a family, but the death of a loved one is too cruel for a person.
In less than half an hour, with the help of Chen Kuo and others, Lin Zhi returned to Tianshui Garden with Lian Qing's belongings and portrait.
Lin Zhi poured them some water and said, "He was busy outside these days, so I didn't come. The house is a little messy, please forgive me."
Chen Kuo and the others shook their heads and helped Lin Zhi to arrange things.
Lin Zhi placed Lian Qing's portrait on the small altar in the living room and inserted incense into the incense burner.
Amid the curling white mist, the young man's slightly cold face appeared to soften a little.
Lin Zhi looked at him without blinking. So this is what his lover looked like this time. It was a pity that he couldn't see him in life, so he could only see him hanging on the wall.
Lian Qing is twenty-six years old this year. Perhaps because he has lived in a Buddhist temple for a long time, there is a hint of compassion and indifference in his eyes. His phoenix eyes are slightly raised, revealing a bit of sharpness.
When others saw him looking like that, they thought he was grieving silently, and they felt sad for a moment as well.
Chen Kuo and Lin Zhi discussed Lian Qing's burial and planned to build two tombs for Lian Qing, one in the Martyrs' Cemetery and one in Lian's home.
"There's no rush for the clan tomb. I'll bury him after I find his body. As for the Martyrs' Cemetery, Minister Chen, you can hold a public ceremony first."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Kuo, Xu Xiaoyu, Shuang Ling and the black cat she brought all stood up immediately.
Chen Kuo asked excitedly: "Is his body still there? Can you find it?"
Lin Zhi: "He gave me a hint, I could sense it."
"Okay, that's good, great," Minister Chen said three 'good's' in a row, and said seriously, "If you need help, don't be polite to us. Lian Qing is an important member of our organization and has made great contributions to the country. We will definitely let him rest in peace."
"I will inevitably ask you for help when the time comes. His body has been torn into pieces by the ghost power, and it will take a long time for me to do it alone."
Lin Zhi didn't plan to act alone. Moreover, as an ordinary person, this world is quite dangerous. Although he knew that Lian Qing would definitely appear beside him, he didn't know where he was now.
Xu Xiaoyu: "We have no choice but to help. We are always ready to help you whenever you need us."
Shuang Ling nodded: "I can apply to go on a field trip with you right now."
Lin Zhi thanked them one by one, and Chen Kuo and the others did not disturb them for too long. Before leaving, Chen Kuo stuffed a card into Lin Zhi's hand, saying it was a pension.
After they left, Lin Zhi placed Lian Qing's belongings one by one. Among them was a Bodhi bracelet that Lian Qing often wore, which exuded a light woody fragrance.
Lin Zhi took it out, and used Lian Qing's mobile phone to count his property, and found that he probably received hundreds of millions of inheritance.
Lin Zhi looked at the portrait on the altar. He never thought that he would be able to eat this kind of meal in his lifetime.
He chuckled and said, "It feels good to get something for nothing. You are richer than I thought."
The handsome young man in the black and white portrait looked at him quietly, unable to answer.
Lin Zhi turned and walked towards the bathroom, and did not notice that the smoke from the burning incense stick behind him, which was originally floating straight upwards, suddenly shook.
The bathtub had not been cleaned, so Lin Zhi used the shower.
The young man's skin was too fair and he was a little thin, so his butterfly bones were clearly visible when he took off his shirt.
The dense stream of water falling from the shower head made a gurgling sound, and the not-so-bright light bulb suddenly flickered a few times.
Lin Zhi suddenly felt something was wrong. He raised his head and saw sticky blood dripping down his face.
The water flowing out of the shower head turned into blood, with a fishy smell of rust.
Lin Zhi tilted his head slightly and looked down, and saw half a footprint on the wet floor.
There was only the front of the foot, no heel, and the footprints were dyed red by the flowing blood, approaching him step by step.
The bathroom, which was originally a bit stuffy, became cold and gloomy, and the light bulb flickered on and off.
From the size of the footprints, Lin Zhi could tell that they were not the feet of an adult man. Besides, Lian Qing would not have drenched him in blood.
Maybe something had followed him here from the old house.
"Although we are guests, I already have a family. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to trespass into the bathroom."
Lin Zhi sighed softly. If she had known earlier, she would have brought Lian Qing's finger into the bathroom.
Although it was only a small piece of flesh and blood, Lian Qing was a powerful master of mysticism when he was alive. After his death, he used his ghost body to force the world to continue running. In any case, he was not someone that ordinary ghosts could provoke.
The young man's tone was calm, his shirt still hanging loosely around his arms and waist, stained with blood, the sticky blood still flowing down his spine, looking eerily vivid.
The bathroom light went out with a bang, and the room was quiet with only the sound of running water.
Lin Zhi smelled a somewhat pungent fragrance, which was slightly familiar.
He thought about it and realized it was the smell of incense and candles.
After a scream that was not like a human voice, Lin Zhi felt the warm and tasteless water flow, ignored the coldness in the room, and continued to take a bath.
