Chapter 124: Marrying at Midnight 7



Jiang Ji didn't sense any presence at the sink just now. Could it be that Fang He had been taken away by the female corpse?

She stood against the door and Ajin couldn't get in.

He peeked inside and saw that the room was in full view and there was nothing strange. He felt relieved.

Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling…

The cell phone on the bedside table kept ringing, and the caller was: Husband.

The phone was unlocked and there were sixteen missed calls on it. It seemed that Fang He had been missing for some time.

Jiang Ji picked up the phone and answered it. A man asked anxiously on the other end of the line: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"Hello." Jiang Ji opened his mouth. Hearing the strange woman's voice, the other party was obviously stunned for a moment before asking: "Who are you?"

Jiang Ji said in a businesslike tone, "We are the specialists of the Tonghua City Investigation Bureau. If you have a computer, you can check the official website. The number is... Ms. Fang He is involved in a strange story. We are also looking for her. You are the last person she contacted in her address book. Did you find anything unusual before this?"

"Wait a moment."

There was a faint sound of clothing rubbing against each other on the other end of the phone, accompanied by the system sound of a computer turning on and the clacking of keyboard keys. There was silence for several dozen seconds, and it seemed that the relevant information had been found.

After a while, the voice trembled: "Is it... Shangshan County?"

Ajin picked up his phone and saw that a notice about a strange story in Shangshan County, Wuchuan City had been issued, causing heated discussion.

Jiang Ji said calmly: "Yes."

"Fang He said an hour ago that she couldn't book a room, so she could only stay at the nearby Ping An Hotel for the night. I was worried about her being alone outside, so I looked up this hotel online. The more I looked, the scarier it seemed. I wanted to tell her not to stay there, and that we could go to a five-star hotel and book a presidential suite for a night for very little money. But when I called again, no one answered..."

From Fang He’s boyfriend’s story, Jiang Ji learned more truths about the past that had been covered up.

According to Fang He, her eldest sister Fang Chai stayed in the county and got married after graduating from high school. She married the Wang family, who ran a brick factory in the county, and whose son drowned in the river after taking the college entrance examination.

It is said that when he was fished out by the corpse recovery team, he was already swollen, but his eyes were still open. The Wang family asked a fortune teller to calculate the fate of his body, who said that he was unwilling to die without getting a wife.

So he set his sights on Fang Chai, the most outstanding and beautiful girl in the class, and even used his connections to steal Fang Chai's birth information to match her horoscope.

The Fang family was naturally unwilling at first, but after a stalemate of more than half a month, Fang Chai finally got married one night.

After that day, the Fang family moved into a big house in the county town. The youngest son Fang Yan, who had poor grades, was admitted to the experimental class of the county's No. 1 Middle School. The family was smiling all day long as if they had won the lottery. But Fang Mi and Fang He, who witnessed this scene, had a complete rift with their family because of this incident. They wanted to stay away from this family, especially after they became financially independent, and they were unwilling to go back during the holidays.

This time Fang He went back not because of the series of life-threatening calls from his parents and relatives, but because of a call from Fang Chai three days ago.

Fang Chai happily said on the phone that she was pregnant.

Fang He was shocked at the time. How could a dead person get pregnant?

She thought her elder sister had remarried, but the ghost marriage could not be easily divorced. There were many taboos involved, and a special wizard was needed to dissolve the marriage. The dead were not as easy to communicate with as the living.

Fang Chai never contacted her family after she got married. Her parents and relatives said that she was enjoying a comfortable life as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and that Fang Chai did not understand their efforts and was still angry with her family. Although Fang He was half-believing and half-doubting, he did not dare to think about the more terrifying things.

Fang He never took the initiative to contact Fang Chai. Although Fang He could not control the situation at that time, she enjoyed the big house and tuition fees that Fang Chai got every day. Every time she walked on the university campus, she felt that she was eating the blood of her elder sister.

Fang He asked again, not giving up, whose child it was.

Fang Chai said happily, it belongs to Wang XX.

Wang XX is the son of the Wang family who was drowned.

Now Fang He was anxious. She felt that Fang Chai was driven crazy by these people.

This time when she returns home, she must bring her elder sister out and take her to Wuchuan City Hospital for a check-up.

"Officer, I beg you to save her. She is a really good person..." The man on the phone trembled in his voice, and Ah Jin showed an expression of reluctance. "I didn't want her to go back before. The people in that place are really weird."

“Like things like doors and windows must be closed after dark, red paper-cuts must be pasted on windows, birth dates cannot be casually revealed, and if you see a man and a woman with red ropes tied around their wrists on the street, don’t look them in the eye…” The man said a few things and then began to stutter, feeling very apologetic.

"Sorry, there are too many for me to remember."

"Don't worry, we will do our best." Jiang Ji searched for items in the suitcase, with his phone between his neck and shoulders. "We will also take Ms. Fang He's phone. If you think of any new clues or taboos, please contact us as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay." The other party agreed readily.

After hanging up the phone, Ajin's expression was a little serious: "This matter is not something we can solve now."

The people disappeared not long after they entered the hotel, and a ghost bride in a red wedding dress appeared in the corridor and tried to attack them.

In the external report, the level of the ghost story in Kamiya County has been classified as C-level, which means that the Investigation Bureau has discovered something again.

He and Jiang Ji were only responsible for checking the outside, so the actual action had to be left to other combat ability users.

Jiang Ji hummed: "Let's summarize these clues to--"

Before he finished speaking, Ah Jin's gaze was fixed on the dark corridor, his eyes wide open, his voice trembling as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, "Ji, Sister Ji..."

A ghost sedan chair appeared at the end of the corridor.

There was no one carrying the sedan chair. This strange and bright red sedan chair was flying towards them.
