"Just like that, it disappeared?"
Luo Tianhe patted his chest and took a breath before speaking.
"He was just an ordinary person and didn't harbor much resentment. The only reason he could come here in broad daylight as a ghost is because his obsession was too deep. But once we revealed his identity, he let go of that obsession and naturally disappeared."
I explained slowly.
Then I recounted the whole story to Li Huai and Luo Tianhe.
After hearing this, they both looked incredibly surprised.
"But he's incredibly efficient! The car accident happened around 10 p.m. yesterday, and he went to five graves in the middle of the night and extorted money from three families. His ability to get things done is amazing!"
After the initial shock subsided, Luo Tianhe marveled at the sight.
Li Huai sighed and said, "He probably doesn't know that the person who hit and killed him paid his family a lot of money, enough for his daughter's medical treatment."
I also feel a little guilty, because I treated him so badly before.
He's an honest man; he probably hasn't done anything wrong in his life.
Only when he was dying did he commit a grave mistake for his daughter, but can he really be blamed for that?
I took out my phone and started searching for yesterday's news.
Sure enough, the deceased who was hit was named Chen Wei, the same one we had just met.
I called Zhang Qiang and asked for Chen Wei's address.
After all, Chen Wei was the victim of yesterday's car accident, and Zhang Qiang must have investigated his family background.
Sure enough, Zhang Qiang knew where Chen Wei lived.
After giving me the address, he casually asked me why I was asking. I told him about Chen Wei's situation, and he fell silent.
After that, Zhang Qiang silently hung up the phone without mentioning that I should get the stolen money back.
Soon I drove Li Huai and Luo Tianhe to Chen Wei's house.
Li Huai easily pried open the somewhat old lock on Old Chen's house, and then we found three boxes of cash on the coffee table in the living room.
I counted it, and it's about 600,000.
Old Chen probably asked each family for 200,000 yuan. For those wealthy people, 200,000 yuan is nothing, so three out of the five families readily gave it to him.
"Try to give this 600,000 yuan to his family. Even if his daughter gets a kidney transplant, the subsequent treatment will still cost a lot of money."
I put all the money into a box and then helped Old Chen clean up the scene.
I took all the urns containing ashes, the money box, and 600,000 yuan in cash with me.
But I suspect that those wealthy people have already found out about Lao Chen's information.
In this city, having money means you have connections everywhere.
For them, finding information about an ordinary person is not an easy task.
However, the reason they didn't react was probably because they discovered that the person threatening them was a dead man.
Anyway, 200,000 isn't much, and they were too lazy to argue with a dead person who was considered unlucky, so they didn't do anything.
That makes sense; if an ordinary person could easily dig up the ashes of their loved ones,
Then they'll try to extort 200,000 yuan from them, and then they'll all be out of business in this city.
The three of us felt rather heavy-hearted.
Although Lao Chen did such a heinous thing, none of us could bring ourselves to blame him.
He worked three jobs to pay for his daughter's medical treatment, but was killed in a car accident on his way home from get off work because a wealthy man was driving under the influence.
They even issued a letter of understanding in exchange for compensation from that family.
It wasn't that his family was greedy; it was because of his seriously ill daughter that they had no other choice but to do it.
If the wealthy man hadn't died on the spot while driving under the influence, he would still be able to escape justice.
Back at the funeral home, Bai Yang, somewhat puzzled, asked:
Where did you go just now?
She went to rest in the back for a while, and when she came out she found that we were all gone, without even telling him.
I gave a wry smile and waved the money box in my hand.
Bai Yang didn't know what was inside at first, but when he saw me open it and see stacks and stacks of cash, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Brother Yan, robbing a bank is illegal. If you need money urgently, you can tell me. I know where my dad keeps some money."
"This isn't money I stole."
I told Bai Yang the whole story. He treated Old Chen so badly back then, so he should know the truth and repent.
Sure enough, Bai Yang's face turned pale after hearing the truth.
It wasn't because she was afraid of ghosts; after all, her sister was one of the most ferocious ghosts I had ever seen.
Speaking of her sister, I've already talked to Bai Yang about it.
She said that since that incident, Bai Yin has been gone and has not appeared since.
I feel that she probably couldn't see any hope of recovery and became withdrawn.
The afternoon passed quickly, and there was hardly any business.
We were chatting and looking at our phones when suddenly my phone rang.
When I looked, I was surprised to see that it was my master who had sent me a message, telling me to go find him now.
Since my master has spoken, I naturally cannot neglect it.
I quickly got ready and took Li Huai and Luo Tianhe to find him.
As usual, Bai Yang will stay here to mind the shop.
This time, I didn't need to use navigation; I knew the way well and arrived at my master's house quickly.
When he saw the three of us, the master's lips twitched.
"You three have encountered ghosts again, and even met Wong Tai Sin?"
As expected of my master, he could see through these things at a glance!
The three of us nodded, and Master's expression became even more speechless.
"The three of you getting together, it's quite something..."
Master Zhang Qingxiao hesitated, clearly speechless at our three abilities to attract evil spirits.
"Master, what business do you have with Chen Yan? Please give your instructions!"
Before I could even open my mouth, Luo Tianhe patted my shoulder and started talking.
However, he did indeed have great respect for the Taoist priest.
After all, the Taoist priest's superb skills and excellent character deserve this respect.
At this point, Master Zhang Qingxiao let out a long sigh and looked at me, saying:
"As you know, the reason I came here this time is because of the matter of possession and resurrection. Our people have now identified a stronghold of that cult, and I have to go there to oversee it."
"But an old friend of mine suddenly asked me for help. We've known each other for many years, and I couldn't bear to refuse."
"I really don't have time, so I can only ask you to take a look and get rid of that evil spirit. If it's really impossible, please prioritize your own safety and deal with it when I have time."
Hearing the Taoist priest's words, I didn't hesitate for a moment, and said solemnly:
“Master, you have done me a great favor. You could say that you saved my life. I will never refuse to help you in any way I can.”
Hearing my heartfelt words, the Taoist priest nodded with satisfaction.
