Chapter 193 Going up the mountain to summon the soul
After leaving Liu Fu's house, Li Zhi and Tu Shanyue went straight back to the little girl's home.
Tu Shanyue turned on the light in the room, looked at Li Zhi who was walking in front of her, and asked:
"Hey, that's strange. If that girl named Liu Hui wants revenge, she's already turned into a ghost. Killing someone isn't a simple matter, so why would she possess someone else?"
Li Zhi pulled out a chair and sat down at the table, looked up at him, and explained:
"The village chief is a shaman who knows about metaphysics. He knew that Liu Hui must be resentful after her death and would come looking for his son. So he gave Abin some protective peach wood and talisman paper to prevent Liu Hui's ghost from getting close to him."
"And the ritual the village chief performed to send away the evil spirit did work. It was indeed able to send Liu Hui's ghost out of the village, leaving her unable to find her way back."
"Also, every household in this village has a door god portrait. Liu Hui has just become a ghost, her soul is not stable enough, and her abilities are limited. For the time being, she can't just ignore the door god portrait and enter other people's homes."
"That's why the village chief asked everyone to stay home and not come out when sending away the evil spirits tonight."
"It's just that he didn't expect that there would be an accident during the journey tonight."
"As you saw, Liu Hui's sister-in-law showed up and interrupted the ceremony, which gave Liu Hui the opportunity to possess her sister-in-law."
"That way she can ignore the things that are temporarily restraining her."
Tu Shanyue nodded, "I see."
He paused, then suddenly thought of something. He stroked his chin and continued, "Hasn't Liu Hui ever considered that if she used her sister-in-law to kill A Bin, wouldn't her sister-in-law have to go to jail?"
Li Zhi nodded slightly. "Yes, that's the key point. So I guess her original intention was not to actually kill Abin."
A hint of surprise flashed in Tu Shanyue's eyes, "You don't really want to kill someone?"
"Well, she deliberately made such a big noise to attract the attention of the villagers. She wanted to give them a hint so that they could associate her death with Abin." Li Zhi said.
Tu Shanyue slapped her thigh, suddenly realizing, "Yes, otherwise she could have easily controlled her sister-in-law's body and killed Abin directly at the village chief's house. Why would she have chased him all the way? It turns out she did it on purpose."
Li Zhi yawned, looking a little tired. "Okay, it's getting late. Let's go to bed early. We have to go up the mountain early tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Tu Shanyue responded.
"By the way, where are you sleeping?" Li Zhi asked.
"I'll turn back into my original form later and sleep directly on this chair." Tu Shanyue replied.
Li Zhi hummed, retracted his gaze, stood up from the chair slowly, and walked into the room.
......
The next morning.
Li Zhi woke up, sat up from the bed, replied to the message on the phone, and then got out of bed.
She took out a portable toiletry bag from her bag, then opened the door and walked out.
Tu Shanyue walked in from outside, "Master Li, you're awake. I was just about to call you."
Li Zhi nodded, noticed the steaming hot breakfast on the table, and asked, "What's this breakfast?"
Tu Shanyue smiled and explained, "I bought it from the villagers. Eat it while it's hot."
"Okay." Li Zhi responded, shook the things in his hand, and said, "You eat first, I'll go wash up."
"It's okay, I'll wait for you, we'll eat together." Tu Shan said.
Li Zhi hummed, said nothing more, and walked out of the house.
After she finished washing up, she came back in, went back to her room to put down her things, and then came out to have breakfast with Tu Shanyue.
Tu Shanyue handed her the chopsticks and asked, "Did you hear the sound of a police car last night?"
Li Zhi reached out to take it and picked up a bun with her chopsticks, "I heard it."
"When I went to buy breakfast today, I heard the villagers say that Abin was taken away by a police car last night," said Tu Shanyue.
Li Zhi took a bite of the bun and chewed it slowly in her mouth, "Yeah."
Tu Shanyue shook her head, picked up the chopsticks beside her and started eating. "I didn't expect that we would accidentally solve a case during our trip."
Li Zhi took another sip of porridge, raised her eyelids and glanced at him, "You'll get used to it."
Tu Shanyue raised an eyebrow. "Master Li, does this kind of thing happen to you often?"
Li Zhi thought about it, her black eyes clear and pure, "That's about right. You can always come across one or two when you go out."
"Master Li, are you the god of death? Wherever you go, there are dead people?" Tu Shanyue joked.
Li Zhi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "Go to hell, are you looking for trouble again?"
Tu Shanyue chuckled and said, "No."
"Okay, let's eat quickly and stop doing your things," said Li Zhi.
"Eat, eat." Tu Shanyue responded and immediately lowered her head to drink the porridge in the bowl.
......
After breakfast and packing up, the two left the little girl's house and went straight up the mountain.
Tu Shanyue brought Li Zhi to the place where he had buried the little girl's body. He raised his hand and pointed at the ground in front of him, which was covered with small wild flowers. "Master Li, this is it."
Li Zhi raised her fair chin slightly and said, "Let's start digging."
"Okay." Tu Shanyue picked up the shovel she brought and started digging the soil carefully.
Soon, the little girl's body was dug out.
Tu Shanyue pursed her lips, put away the shovel, turned to look at Li Zhi beside her, "Master Li..."
Li Zhi hummed, without further ado, his eyes fixed, he raised his hand, made hand gestures, and began to summon the little girl's soul.
Within a minute, the flowers, plants and trees around suddenly made a rustling sound.
Tu Shanyue also sensed that something was approaching them very quickly, and her expression became a little nervous. She muttered to herself, "Is it coming..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thin white figure appeared before his eyes.
Tongtong's eyes fell on Lizhi and he tilted his head. "Sister, are you calling me?"
Li Zhi put down his hand and nodded, "Yes, someone wants to see you."
"Someone wants to see me?" Tongtong glanced at Tu Shanyue beside her, then quickly looked away and asked, "Who wants to see me?"
She paused, then suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she continued, "Is it my dad who wants to see me?"
Li Zhi shook her head and pointed at Tu Shanyue beside her, "No, he wants to see you."
Tongtong turned to look at Tu Shanyue, a little surprised, and asked: "Sister, what do you want to see me for? I don't seem to know you..."
Tu Shanyue calmed down the complicated emotions of seeing an old friend again, stretched out the hand he was holding, palm facing down, and then a silver peace lock fell from his palm.
"Do you remember this?"
