Chapter 013 Suspicious Candidate
Hearing Bai Mian say this, Zeng Li took a breath of cool air. She didn't understand metaphysics, but she knew the purpose of the talisman just by hearing the name. She said in panic:
"How could this happen? I have always been kind to others. Who would want to kill me?"
After hearing that this was a life-borrowing talisman, the number of barrages in the live broadcast room increased dramatically.
[I know, I know! There is a horror legend in my hometown that you cannot just pick up money on the roadside. It is life-saving money left by others. Whoever picks it up will bear the bad luck for the person who lost the money! ]
[This is usually a method used by terminally ill patients who hope to transfer their illness to others through superstitious means.]
[These things are just psychological effects, right? If it is so easy to bring bad luck to someone, then doesn't that mean that everyone can harm others through spells? ]
Zeng Li saw the message on the screen and retorted unhappily: "You are not me, how do you know? I tell you, this talisman is really useful. I have been so unlucky lately that I dare not go out!"
As she spoke, she counted on her fingers: "During this period, nothing has gone well for me. First, I was hit by a flower pot that fell from an upper floor while taking a walk. Then, when I was walking at night, I was hit by a car that came out of nowhere. The driver who caused the accident has not been caught yet!"
"Later, I simply took a long vacation to recuperate at home. I stayed at home every day and lived on takeout. Who would have thought that the takeout food was spiked with ingredients? It was so unlucky that even drinking cold water would get stuck in my teeth!"
"Do you think all this is caused by this talisman?" Bai Mian asked.
Zeng Li nodded vigorously: "This person's intentions are so sinister, I must find him out. I now live in a high-end residential area in Beijing. Only the owner can enter by scanning his face. Outsiders cannot enter. Even takeaways have to be placed downstairs in the unit. So the person who secretly hid the talisman under the floor mat of my house must be my neighbor!"
Bai Mian: "Who do you think is most likely to be it?"
Zeng Li looked puzzled. "This... I have had conflicts with my neighbors upstairs and downstairs, but I don't think a little conflict will cost me my life, right? Master, please judge. First of all, it's my upstairs. The boy upstairs always likes to dance hip-hop at home, which makes my scalp numb. I raised my opinions several times, but he not only didn't listen, but also scolded me. What kind of person is he!"
"Let me tell you about the family of three living downstairs from me. They seemed quite kind, but one day my house was flooded and the water reached my downstairs. The family downstairs actually asked me to pay them 20,000 yuan. Of course I refused. After much discussion, I only paid 4,000 yuan. Since then, the relationship between our two families has deteriorated. We don't even say hello to each other when we meet."
Zeng Li spread her hands and said, "After moving in, I have only interacted with people upstairs and downstairs. I don't know anyone else in this building. After all, I have only lived in this house for a short time. I really can't imagine who would want me dead?"
"You just moved in not long ago?" Bai Mian noticed this and frowned sensitively, "How long have you lived here?"
Zeng Li thought for a moment and said, "About three months."
"So how long ago did your bad luck start?" Bai Mian asked.
"If we count from the day the flowerpot fell, it has been two months. On that day, a flowerpot fell from the upper floor and injured my foot. Later, I called the police, and the police investigated the entire building. However, all the residents of that building said that they did not grow flowers! Who would believe it?"
Zeng Li kept complaining, and Bai Mian interrupted her:
"Don't you think that the time you moved coincided with the time you had bad luck?"
Zeng Li's pupils trembled, and she said belatedly, "Yes, you can say that since I moved into this house, I have become particularly unlucky. Could it be that the culprit is not this talisman, but the house I live in now?"
She opened her mouth in disbelief and said, "That's impossible. This is my best friend's house. She has lived here for a long time and I've never heard her say there are any problems. No one has died in this house and there are no feng shui issues. She originally planned to use it as her wedding house."
As she spoke, Zeng Li seemed to suddenly remember something. She sat up straight and said excitedly:
"The case has been solved. I know who put this talisman there!"
