Hearing that there was a ghost in the house, the "Jerboa" shuddered and felt that the courtyard behind him was gloomy.
"Did they really collide? What should I do now, Sangsang?" She was so nervous that she spoke incoherently, "Why don't I go back home now?"
Gu Zhisang shook his head and said, "Generally speaking, a ghost won't haunt a living person for no reason. You must have violated some taboo and accidentally provoked it to get close to you."
"It's useless to just run away from this situation. You must resolve the connection caused by this accident. Otherwise, if it's a fierce ghost, it will haunt you even if you leave this house or this city. Weaker ghosts will also linger here unwillingly. You can't give up this house, can you?"
The 'Jerboa' looked distressed.
What Gu Zhisang said touched her heart. Her parents worked hard all their life and spent all their savings to buy this house. They had no other residence.
Even if it was rented out, who would want a haunted house?
She asked, "Then how can I resolve the situation and send the one at home away?"
"That's easy." Gu Zhisang said dimly, "You didn't mean to offend it, and it didn't want to kill you. It probably just wanted to teach you a little lesson."
"If there is an incense shop nearby, you can go there to buy some paper objects such as incense, candles, paper money, gold ingots, etc., and prepare some offerings. Burn all the paper objects in the living room to express your apology and send away the ghost in the house."
Jumping Mouse quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote down everything he wanted to buy.
Gu Zhisang said: "This ritual needs to be performed for three consecutive days. After three days, the ghosts in your home can be sent away."
"Then I'll refund my ticket for tonight."
As Jerking Mouse said this, he canceled his train ticket back home on his mobile phone and sent a text message to his parents saying that he would not be returning home.
The two old people there were worried about her and called to ask about her.
After explaining, 'Jerking Mouse' hung up the phone and looked at the camera apologetically, "Sorry to take up some of your time."
"There seems to be a store across the street from our house that sells these things." She was a little confused and said, "When I buy them, how and where should I burn them? Do I need to say some words of apology or perform any rituals when burning them?"
Gu Zhisang in front of the camera frowned slightly, as if he was getting impatient and said:
"I have a shooting assignment this afternoon, so I can't wait for you here. If you really can't, go buy the things now, and I'll teach you how to cook."
'Jerking Mouse' quickly stood up with his phone in hand and walked towards the door.
"Okay, I'll go buy it now. Sangsang, thank you for your help!"
At this time, there were more than 4 million viewers in the live broadcast room. Seeing Gu Zhisang's cold attitude, some black fans and trolls took the opportunity to stir up trouble, saying sarcastically:
[I feel like Sangsang is acting weird today, and seems to be in a bad mood.]
[Tsk, this girl is really tactless. Can't she see that the big star is getting impatient? She keeps asking questions.]
[Can haters please stop taking advantage of the situation? This is extra time to answer questions. I've been live streaming for the whole morning, so isn't it normal to feel tired? ]
[I said that Gu Zhisang has been messing around with his character design. He can pretend for a while but not for the rest of his life. Isn't this just being a big shot and showing off to the audience? ]
When 'Jumping Mouse' walked out of the house, he saw some confusing comments and found that someone was taking advantage of his own affairs to stir up trouble.
She apologized and said guiltily: "It's true that I'm too troublesome. Sangsang has actually made it very clear what we need to buy. How about I quit the live broadcast first."
"No need." Gu Zhisang said.
"Then I'll run and buy it quickly."
The camera followed the footsteps of the "Jerboa". When she ran out of the community gate, Gu Zhisang suddenly called her.
The girl panted and picked up the phone, "What's wrong, Sangsang?"
Through the screen, Gu Zhisang saw that the "blood" on the "Jumping Mouse"'s face had faded a lot and was still slowly dissipating. She knew that her intervention had worked.
Gu Zhisang's expression eased and he said, "Don't go to the incense shop. Go to the nearest police station and call the police now."
'Jerboa' / Audience: ?
"Ah? Why?" The girl was confused and at a loss.
Is it possible to call the police to exorcise ghosts?
She was suspicious and asked.
Gu Zhisang's eyes were dark, and he curled the corners of his lips: "Of course you don't have to go to the police station to catch ghosts, but there has never been any ghost haunting your house from beginning to end."
In the astonished eyes of Jerking Mouse, she told the truth.
"The noises you heard, the objects being moved, and the injured cat were all caused by humans." Gu Zhisang said, "That 'ghost' is just a mentally twisted pervert."
Jerking Mouse was so frightened by this that he stammered for a long while, "Hidden, Tibetans? How is that possible... No, there's a pervert at my house..."
As she was talking, she suddenly realized something, her pupils shrank as she looked at the screen: "Sangsang, what you just said could not be...?"
Gu Zhisang did not deny it: "I just made up a cover to give you a chance to come out of the house and call the police."
"That person has been in your house the whole time. When you were communicating with me live, she should have been listening under your bed."
'Jerboa'/Audience:? ! !
[What the hell!! I got goosebumps. If that's the case, we were also on the mic with that pervert just now, but he didn't show up! ]
[This is really a crime scene reflected in reality. I was wondering why Sangsang was so strange just now. She was totally different from before. She was actually protecting the 'Jerboa'! ]
[Didn’t the young lady say that sometimes she could hear some noises at the end of her bed at night? Could it be that the pervert is under her bed every night?! ]
[It's so scary, but a living person is hiding in the house, did the 'Jerboa' really not notice it at all? ]
[I suddenly thought of a very scary thing. If that pervert had been by the young lady's side, wouldn't he have heard that she was leaving by car this afternoon? If the young lady's comments were not seen by the anchor, and she didn't connect with the anchor and run out, then could she really leave her house tonight...? ]
[I thought it was a supernatural incident, but it was actually a criminal investigation. 】
[Help! I am alone at home now. I am so scared by the show that I dare not get out of bed! ]
【……】
Looking at the crazy refreshing barrage, Jerking Mouse's back was soaked with cold sweat.
Her legs were now weak and her face turned pale with fear.
Gu Zhisang comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid. That person must have believed my story and thought you were just walking around the incense shop. He didn't chase you. Go to the police station and report it. Once he's caught, you'll be safe."
But what she didn't tell the girl was that according to her original fate, her life would end in forty minutes.
The girl who was not connected to him via microphone would never know that there was a mentally twisted murderer lurking under her, just one layer of bed away from her.
When she was packing her luggage and preparing to leave the room, she would be hit on the back of the head with a hammer by the man, tortured to death and brutally dismembered.
Will become the victim of a homicide that shocked the city.
'Jerking Mouse' felt that Gu Zhisang's voice had a magical power that calmed her panic a little. She nodded repeatedly, and this time she didn't feel tired and ran to the nearby police station.
When she arrived at the police station, the female police officer who received her saw that she looked flustered and asked, "Hello, ma'am, how can I help you?"
'Jerboa': "I'm calling the police! There's someone in my house!"
When the police asked her about the details and how she discovered the matter, she told them everything about moving items around the house.
"My house is not big, only about 70 or 80 square meters. I never thought someone would hide in it, so I never called the police..."
'Jerking Mouse' is still frightened, and actually she also has an escapist mentality.
After all, she hadn't encountered any actual harm, nor had she noticed any other abnormalities, so she felt there was no need to call the police;
What if the police find nothing? It would be a wasted trip.
She was also afraid that calling the police would alert the neighbors, and it would be difficult to explain when they asked her about it.
The policewoman took it seriously and said, "I'll help you contact the police now. In fact, you should have called the police when you first noticed these abnormal conditions."
Gu Zhisang also contacted Zheng Ruyu online.
Zheng Ruyu notified the spirit group branch in the city where 'Jumping Mouse' was located and asked them to fully cooperate. Soon, several police officers went to 'Jumping Mouse's' home and brought detection tools.
When the group arrived downstairs in the community, they happened to run into a few familiar neighbors who were enjoying the cool air and chatting downstairs.
Seeing a group of policemen following the 'Jerboa', someone asked, "Nizi, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, ma'am. The police are just here to do a small investigation." 'Jumping Mouse' said vaguely.
The old lady didn't know whether she believed it or not, and fanned herself, "We watched this girl grow up, she is very well-behaved, she always helped us carry things when we are old and weak."
"By the way, the short guy downstairs asked me to thank you a few days ago. He said he was grateful for your help."
"Jerking Mouse" was a little embarrassed, said a few words to the old lady and then walked towards home.
看到自家大门，她心中生出胆怯和恐惧，仿佛里面有什么洪水猛兽进去就会被吃掉。
身后的女警拍拍她的肩膀，说道：“你别紧张，我们陪在你身边呢。”
打开门之后，客厅一片寂静，根本不像有过人的样子。
警员在各个角落探查一番，都没有发现人影，'跳跳鼠’不禁心想会不会是顾之桑算错了？
但很快负责侦查的警员就有了发现。
“这边有个针孔摄像头，正对着卧室的门。”
那个摄像头被安置在架子上的摆件里，透过摆件玩偶的眼睛默默注视着‘跳跳鼠’的卧室。
从这一刻开始，直播间内的评论都被感叹号占领了。
除此之外，警员们还找出了其他三枚摄像头，有一枚夹在浴室角落的水管后面，其他两枚分别在卧室、厨房。
看到这些还不如小拇指甲大的摄像头，‘跳跳鼠’胃里翻滚、面如土色。
一想到自己的隐私不知道泄露了多久，想到自己在这栋房子里的每一个生活细节都暴露在他人眼中，她就觉得浑身恶心。
除此之外警员们还在她的床下发现了两根短发丝，半个那人离开时不小心印在床侧木板上的手掌印。
发丝可以拿去检验，但需要一定时间。
让警员们感到疑惑的是，那半枚手掌印非常小，甚至还不如女警的掌根大，简直就像是个小孩子的手。
警员道：“你床头的茶杯里有一点白霜状的残留物，应该是一些安眠的药物。”
“你感觉身边有谁是可疑的嫌疑人吗？”
'跳跳鼠’大脑一片空白，“我不知道……我爸妈一个多月前就回老家了，我也没有男朋友，从来不带人回家。”
就在这时，一直没有出声的顾之桑忽然开口，把众人的注意力都吸引了过去。
她面前的桌面上不知何时放了一些竹签牌，每一张牌面上都用毫笔刻印着玄门古文字。
这是她前段时间才做的竹牌，是牌占的一种。
相比之下三钱占只适合卜自己，而牌占的选择性更多，类别更细致，适合占和自己有关联的其他人。
顾之桑道：“你把那几个头发和摄像头抓在手心里，然后选三张竹牌。”
一时间有网友表示：【笑死了这场面好奇怪啊，在警方面前搞算命，不会被当成封建迷信抓起来吗？】
'跳跳鼠’选了竹牌后，顾之桑开始解读：
“这个人想杀你。但他对你没有恨意，反而有一种很深的、很奇怪的欲望，他对你很有好感。”
“这个人是你附近的人，是身边人而不是陌生人，你们以前一定有过交集，他不是无缘无故就盯上你的。他年纪不小了，应该在四十多岁，以前有过牢狱之灾……嗯，他之前就杀过人了。”
“他应该有某种身体上的残疾，或者有一些不良于行的疾病，导致他极度自卑自负心理扭曲，他的心里只有负面的情绪，散发着腐烂的垃圾一般令人恶心的气息。但是这个人表面上很会隐藏，他可能风度翩翩，可能老实巴交，你甚至觉得他是个还不错的可怜人。”
解读完竹牌上的讯息后，顾之桑说道：“你再仔细想一想，你身边的人里、经常会碰面的人里有没有这样的。”
'跳跳鼠’想了半天，也没想到这样的人。
忽然她脑海中划过一个念头，让她神情微顿。
她迟疑道：“我身边身体上有些问题的人里，就只有一个邻居……”
据‘跳跳鼠’所说，她楼下一层的住户是去年才搬过来的中年男人。
虽然那人脸上有皱纹、头发是灰白的，但个头只有一米左右，是个瘦瘦小小的侏儒，孤家寡人一个。
刚搬过来的时候他们没有交集，是某次在电梯里，那个邻居拎着的袋子破了、里面的东西撒了一地，‘跳跳鼠’就帮他捡拾东西，还把自己的帆布包拿给他让他使用。
因为这件事他们楼上楼下熟悉了，碰面时经常打招呼。
再加上这个社区有时会有给孤寡老人和残疾人送温暖的活动，‘跳跳鼠’又是常驻的义工，每次都顺手把楼下邻居的粮油给他提到门口。
至于这个人的过去，她还真不知道。
女警说道：“那半个手印不就像小孩儿的手一样么！”
于是他们决定去楼下看一看。
结果到了那个人的房门外敲了好几下，里面都没有动静。
“没人吗？”
顾之桑眉头微蹙，说道：“不用找了，就是这个人干的。”
从这扇门中溢出丝丝死气，透过镜头和屏幕，她能看到门缝中外泄的灰黑雾气。
按理来说没有切实证据和搜查令，警方是不能私闯他人住宅的，但这一次有当地灵组兜底，他们还是开了这栋房子的门锁。
一进门众人便闻到一股刺鼻的洗涤剂气味，很显然不像是正常住宅。
屋里没人，开了灯之后‘跳跳虎’不禁打了个寒战。
因为屋里有两排长架，放着许多药酒罐子和透明养殖箱，里面是浸泡在**中的蛇虫尸体，和养殖的活蜥蜴活蜘蛛，看着就让人不寒而栗。
他的厨房里陈列着一些格外锋利的刀子和锯子，种类繁多，看得人心都凉了。
'跳跳鼠’切实意识到，自己在死亡边缘游走了一圈。
要不是身边还有这么多警察、网上还和几百万网友连着线，恐怕她早就崩溃哭出声来了。
警方还在那个侏儒中年人的卧室墙上，看到了许多‘跳跳鼠’的照片，有的是在家里，有的是在小区里做义工时偷拍的；
家里电脑里还有偷拍的视频。
看到这个人的字迹后，顾之桑才将他更细致的信息推演出来，也发现他已经逃跑了。
一开始的时候他是没有起疑心的，听到‘跳跳鼠’和什么主播连麦说家里有‘鬼’的时候，他还挺紧张的。
结果听到顾之桑说之所以家里的东西挪动，是冲撞到了鬼魂，这个侏儒中年就松懈下来，心中鄙夷。
他觉得顾之桑就是个江湖骗子，又听她让‘跳跳鼠’直接取消了返乡的车票，这才放心让‘跳跳鼠’出门。
但随着‘跳跳鼠’去的时间很久，他就开始怀疑起来；
又在窗户处远远看到了小区门口来了警察，就直接跑路了。
事情发展到这儿，就差把那个逃跑的侏儒捉拿归案。
'跳跳鼠’感谢了顾之桑后，就下了连麦。
此时已经临近中午，顾之桑又给几个想看阳宅阴宅的网友看了风水和摆件，上午的互动直播便到此结束。
拿到手机的时候她才看到，上午的节目又上了好几个热搜。
其中‘跳跳鼠’那个事情直接蹦到了热搜第一名。
有一些人质疑节目的真实性，怀疑这是剧本，不然怎么就这么巧在顾之桑的直播的时候，那个嫌疑人就在女孩儿的床底下。
但全程有警方出现，大部分网友还是很理智地怼了回去。
郑如玉给她发了事件后续处理结果。
由于小区附近都是监控，那个侏儒没跑多远就被抓住了。
根据当地警方调查，他在这个小区居住时所用的身份和姓名都是假的。
此人已经四十七岁了，正如顾之桑算的那样，他十九岁的时候就因故意杀人入狱，经过改造和几次减刑后，去年才刚从监狱里出来。
他当年杀害的是同村的一名年轻女性。
那个女性的家庭曾和他家是旧友，小时候他还没查出矮小症的时候，两家曾经定过娃娃亲。
后来他到了青少年也比同龄人矮小许多，去医院查后才知道他的激素和基因都有问题，这辈子都长不了太高了。
这桩娃娃亲便不了了之。
他从小因为个头矮在村里受欺负，心里自卑、厌世，被退亲后觉得是这家人瞧不起自己、嫌弃自己有病，把那个女孩子也恨上了。
后来那个女生谈了一个男友，谈婚论嫁的时候被他残忍杀害，他也因此入狱。
出狱后的他比年少时更阴暗，但他学会了伪装，藏在民风淳朴善良的小区里生活。
之所以他会盯上‘跳跳鼠’，就是当时在电梯里‘跳跳鼠’帮助了他，还冲他露出了善意的微笑。
他觉得这个女孩子很善良，那个时候就经常偷窥‘跳跳鼠’。
再加上‘跳跳鼠’不歧视他反而经常帮助他，更是让他产生了对方喜欢自己、对自己有意思的念头。
他知道这家人会把备用钥匙放在地毯下面，自己拿去偷偷配了一把，直到上个月‘跳跳鼠’家里的长辈都回乡了，就让他找到了机会。
这侏儒仗着自己身材矮小，经常蜷缩在令人意想不到的地方，如橱柜里、杂物箱里、床底下……还故意制造动静看着‘跳跳鼠’崩溃的样子，心里觉得很得意。
那只叫布布的猫经常应激也是因为发现了他的存在，他嫌那猫咪实在碍事，就把它从窗户上摔了下去。
When Jerking Mouse was so scared that he wanted to go back to his hometown for shelter, he heard the girl's mother's voice coming from the external audio:
"It would be nice for you to come back and live here for a while. You are already 25 and you have never had a boyfriend. If you come back, I can arrange a few blind dates for you."
Hearing about 'blind date', the dwarf was furious.
He had long regarded the 'Jerboa' as his own property. He instantly thought of the girl who broke off her childhood engagement more than 20 years ago, and the humiliation and strange looks from outsiders due to his height.
He felt that the 'Jerking Mouse' was no longer pure, so he wanted to keep the 'Jerking Mouse' forever, just like he had killed the girl he had married as a child.
After hearing the dwarf's motive for committing the crime, Gu Zhisang was speechless.
"He must be ill."
Zheng Ruyu sighed and said, "This man is indeed mentally ill. After this incident, they think he is still a dangerous person and should not be released. They should re-evaluate him. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be locked up again and there will be no chance for him to come out again."
"That girl suffered an unexpected disaster. I'm afraid she will be traumatized by the shock she received."
"It's lighter." Gu Zhisang said.
For such a scum, merely being tortured for life is too light a punishment.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Zhisang began to deduce the identity information of the woman who was killed by the dwarf man more than 20 years ago.
If the girl has not been reincarnated yet, she plans to open a convenient channel for the other party so that it can enter her dreams every night before reincarnation and seek revenge on the dwarf in her dreams.
Just as she was deducing in the lounge, a dark ghost door suddenly appeared in the room, and a chilling and gloomy aura filled the room.
Gu Zhisang:?
She turned her head and saw a ghost dressed in black and wearing an official hat, swaggering with a group of evil spirits with sullen faces. It was none other than Black Impermanence Fan Wujiu.
She stood up and bowed to Fan Wujiu, "I wonder why the ghost messenger asked me to pass through?"
Fan Wujiu said nonchalantly:
"You are quite capable as a mysterious master in the world of the living. You have captured a lot of evil ghosts for the underworld during this period. Those old guys in the Hades Palace are very satisfied."
Looking at Gu Zhisang's dark pupils, the pale and plump young man coughed and said, "It's just sometimes. You shouldn't meddle in other people's business. You just took advantage of the loopholes in the rules today. If you get to the bottom of it, you're violating the law."
Fan Wujiu was talking about the 'jumping mouse'.
If it weren't for Gu Zhisang, the girl would have become one of the ghosts following it.
But now the girl's fate line has changed, and changes have also occurred in the underworld's book of life and death;
Her life span was extended significantly.
However, Gu Zhisang was just a fortune teller, and the subsequent investigation and arrest were all intervened by the officials of the world of the living, so the power of rules prevented her from being affected by this cause and effect.
Before Gu Zhisang could reply, Fan Wujiu snorted and dragged a bunch of evil ghosts whose necks were strangled into the ghost gate.
Until the ghost gate disappeared, Gu Zhisang was a little confused.
Are all the underworld's evildoers so idle and kind?
——
After more than two hours of rest, the time came to 2.30 pm.
The team competition in the second half of the fifth episode officially began.
