Chapter 14 "The Little Policeman" Next Card
He was going to leave eventually, and he didn't have much time left to be 'Jenda'.
Therefore, he hopes to leave only after a positive ending occurs, helping people escape their nightmares.
More importantly, he learned that the entire Honghui Police Station was likely full of bad people. Jian Dieda was more afraid of people than foxes, so he only felt safe after seeing the fox spirit, as if he had teammates.
He said to the fox spirit that possessed someone else,
"Xiao Ding, come here."
Holding the fox spirit's cold hand, Jian Dieda, dressed in a respectable olive-green police uniform, gazed at Zhong Jie's alluring eyes, which seemed to suck away one's soul, with eyes that held both courage and wisdom.
"Xiao Ding, I... do you believe me?"
When Zhong Jie saw the way that face was raised, his heart skipped a beat. His face flushed uncontrollably, and he felt a sense of being valued by this policeman.
He first met Jane Dieda during a night patrol, and the second time he called her, he didn't get a good impression either. What was wrong with him now? He couldn't explain why he always seemed to prefer seeing the local police officer.
Zhong Jie: "Trust."
Knowing that he believed in her, Jian Dieda bumped her head against the body that Zhong Jie was offering.
“Then I’ll give this to you, you can wear it.” Jian Dieda took off the red string from his hand and placed it in the fox spirit’s palm.
Zhong Jie heard Jian Dieda mumble something with his wet lips. The two of them half-squatted down, leaned close to each other, and whispered something. "Let me tell you a little-known fact about catching ghosts. According to legend, urine can break magic spells, so toilets are also called 'Hun Yuan Buckets'."
Zhong Jie: "..." Why does this sound so familiar?
Doesn't that sound familiar? You were scared of this Hunyuan Bucket last time, which shows that ordinary ghosts can't handle urine.
Jane remained calm and used this opportunity to cover up the matter of the prop card.
"I actually have a big firecracker hidden inside. I want to throw it into the toilet to blast away the ghosts outside..."
Then another sentence was added.
"Let's take them down together!"
Zhong Daxian didn't speak, but only one thought kept running through his mind: this local policeman is a real bug.
The assessment is complete.
When Zhong Jie was taking down other ghosts with the police for the first time, he asked, "What should I do? Brother, should I just follow your instructions?"
Jane felt a chill run down her spine, a slight tension rising within her at the sight of this fox spirit follower with extraordinary magical power: "Will you listen to me?"
If we send the fox spirit young master out, wouldn't he scare the knife-wielder to death before he even has a chance to defect to the enemy?
Zhong Jie smiled.
Jian Dieda saw Ding Xiaoding's face and said flirtatiously, "How about this, if you want me to listen to you, you have to give me sex once..."
Jane was terrified: "Last time what..."
Zhong Jie pressed his lower lip: "Let me visit your dorm once, and we'll be real friends."
Jane Diedda: "..."
Zhong Jie finally won this time. He pulled his hand away and laughed, "What's wrong with you?"
Even accepting the red veil from the fox spirit young master hadn't made him this embarrassed. Jian Dieda had lost completely, and he quickly turned his face away without thinking too much.
Damn, this bewitching male fox spirit is so skilled.
The system couldn't stand it anymore.
The system picked its nose and flicked its master: "Other systems smell the sour stench of two people in love, but this system smells the stench of two people's love rotting away."
"...The smell of a corpse?"
"By the time you two finish dating, the person will have passed the seventh day after their death, and won't they just smell like a corpse?"
"..."
"Are you still going to solve the case?"
"break."
Jian Dieda waved his hand to shatter the fox bubble above his head and got back to the main topic. He was also very righteous and did not let the fox spirit express its position. Instead, he said, "Then I will command you. You will cover for me, and we will find a way to climb out and throw the firecrackers into the latrine, and try to make their room smell wonderful."
They returned to the case itself, nodded to each other, and lowered their knees to move from the ground to the nearest window.
Can……
Knock knock knock.
Here it comes again. The sudden silence allowed the two people near the door to hear the loud cry of a baby. They could vaguely see a blood-red light illuminating the outside of the police station, indicating that the playground lights had malfunctioned in the face of the paranormal event. The bright red color of the corridor outside was likely real blood, not just the effect of prop paint...
After the eerie, teeth-grinding noises echoed overhead, the fan turned off one second and on again the next. Once again, the ghost stories from higher dimensions were the first to witness the haunted scene inside the entire Honghui Police Station.
"Last time it was the Blue-Faced Nightmare? This time it's a woman's womb? The evil magic in this dimension is incredible..."
What is a woman's uterus?
"Is this some new ghost story upstairs? This 'woman's womb' is the uterus. The *Suwen* (Plain Questions) chapter 'Discussion on the Differentiation of the Five Viscera' says: 'The brain, marrow, bones, blood vessels, gallbladder, and woman's womb—these six are produced by the earth's energy. Generally, if there are ghosts of pregnant women, ghosts of childbirth, or infant spirits, the ground they inhabit will form a kind of demonic barrier called the 'woman's womb'..."
"So, the two perpetrators downstairs might be the whistleblower who beat the child?"
"Shh, don't spoil it. Let's see where that young policeman and the fox spirit ran off to."
"Hey, that kid's skills came in handy again, did he really go to the toilet to set off fireworks to scare ghosts?"
"Let's see if these infant spirits take the bait. If we get past this, tonight's knife fight might turn around."
...
One minute later, the infant spirit changed direction and, disobeying the orders of the real culprit and accomplice, chased after them to the toilet.
...
"Xiao Ding, let go!"
The entire toilet now smelled of fresh nature. The police officer who had infiltrated the area tore two strips of newspaper to plug his nostrils, climbed up the toilet window using his thighs, and released the prop card in one go.
At the same time, a small, snow-white hand reached in, and in an instant, Jian Dieda jumped down from the same spot and landed right in Zhong Jie's arms.
"Bang—Aaaaaah!!" The Hunyuan Golden Water took effect. The premature ghost, upon encountering the excrement, was even more effective than the talisman water. Amidst its shrill screams, it turned the entire haunted place into a mess, splashing everywhere.
...
Police, please open your eyes!
Half an hour later, the system told him: "The real culprit and his accomplice have left. The progress bar is currently at 70%."
Jane was so tired her legs were weak, but she breathed a sigh of relief.
That's how playing games is. As long as you can come up with the right reasoning, you can establish a motive without accurate evidence. The police's ability to solve cases lies somewhere between bold hypothetical guesses and absolute luck.
Luck is part of success.
-----------
The two chased away the ghost.
We still need to wrap things up.
Jian Dieda took out tea leaves and a box of rice from the duty room.
The man and the fox set out the food.
Having escaped unscathed, Jian Dieda offered the fox spirit tea: "Thank you, thank you so much. We've made it through. Drink up, don't be shy."
Zhong Jie said, "I almost died with you, so you have to apologize to me."
Jian Dieda nodded: "It's my fault for being so formal. Comrade Ding, please go first."
Zhong Jie retorted, "Comrade Jian, please go first. Some people shouldn't act like they're not outsiders. Didn't you kick me out in the first place? Do you regret it now?"
…………
slut,
Let's just let this fox harass us to death.
After accepting payment for the meal, the fox spirit continued to observe the man, discovering that he was quite childish. He wanted to tap a salted duck egg with his forehead.
After separating the eggs, Officer Jian, just for fun, would poke the yolks with the tip of his chopsticks, letting the oil drip into the porridge.
And then there's that silly look on his face as he slurps down the bone broth, completely mesmerized by its aroma.
Zhong Huxian rummaged through the potato and chicken stir-fry in her lunchbox: "Is this enough for you? Want some of my food?"
Jian Dieda couldn't chew the chives in his mouth, and didn't want to pick his teeth in front of this person, so he refused to make eye contact: "I'm not eating, you eat your own."
"Oh." Zhong Jie looked at Jian Dieda's calm expression and continued to stir his rice with the tip of his chopsticks. His bowl was full of large pieces of chicken, and a bright red and tender chicken foot in the soup was the most eye-catching.
Jane Da breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at his appetite: "You don't like this chicken?"
Zhong Jie immediately slowed down his eating pace and said, "How about I trade you a bite of your chives for some stir-fried chicken with potatoes? I'll tell you later."
"Why?"
"Leeks are an aphrodisiac; you can't rely on them alone. Don't forget about me."
"Get out of my way."
"Come on."
"Need not."
"Oh dear, I see, you have chives on your teeth."
"Shut up!"
Two pairs of chopsticks flew into the air and started fighting.
Zhong Jie lost the beating, but he continued eating. Jian Dieda used a mirror to check his appearance, concealing what had just happened on his face, but he turned the red mirror upside down. Zhong Jie's gaze remained fixed on him.
Zhong Jie gave him a "feed".
The young policeman poked at the rice.
Zhong Jie crossed his arms. He had a habit of smiling when he didn't know what to say.
Zhong Jie suddenly said, "I understand."
Jane Dieda deliberately ate very slowly and asked, "What do you know?"
The fox spirit pretended to finish eating first, pushed the remaining chicken towards him, and clicked her tongue at him: "Comrade Xiao Jian, you're a bit of a repressed pervert. I have to teach you a lesson on this. Under the guidance of contemporary socialist ideology, you have a fiery red star in your heart, and you've long been eager to take root in the grassroots and go to the masses. Why can't you eat with me?"
Jian Dieda took it and ate it, thinking it was a way of repaying his life-saving grace.
Zhong Jie leaned closer and asked, "Is it good?"
"It's cooked well, but the cafeteria chef used too much salt, it's a bit too salty," Jian Dieda said, not liking to be distracted while eating. He pushed the head off his neck and added, "You gave me everything without touching it, and I'm stuffed to death."
Zhong Jie chimed in, "It's okay if there are leftovers. If you still can't finish them, I'll eat them for you."
Jian Dieda ate in silence.
Zhong Jie didn't sit still. He diligently rolled up his shirt, took the thermos, poured in boiling water, and blew on the water to cool it down, saying, "Let me blow on it for you. Take a sip, and it won't be salty anymore. Try it and see if it's too hot."
Jian Dieda couldn't handle the water.
The stir-fried chicken with potatoes that Zhong Daxian had given him might have been a bit too salty, because the young policeman couldn't help but cough twice. After putting down his chopsticks, he hurriedly picked up a cup of hot water, burning his hand in the process.
Zhong Jie's brow twitched, his face darkened, and he grabbed the young policeman's hand and blew on it forcefully, almost putting it in his mouth.
Fortunately, he managed to stop the car, but the meaning behind his words couldn't be hidden:
"You're afraid of getting burned while cooking, and you spill soup when you bring the bowl over—you're such a—"
Jane looked at him without blinking: "What?"
Zhong Jie pulled the young policeman's hand and rummaged through drawers one by one, rummaging through them for Tiger Balm. The emotion in his eyes was unmistakable.
“You were born at the wrong time. If you were a woman, you would be a lucky wife. People would marry you with great pomp and circumstance.”
"..." Jian Dieda continued eating.
Zhong Jie smiled and said, "It's alright, it's the same now."
A little while later, Jian Dieda had eaten half of it.
He suddenly had a brilliant idea and pretended to bend over and roll up his trouser legs.
Just as he was about to look up, he glanced at the small red mirror.
As if assuming that Jian Dieda wouldn't notice him, Zhong Jie picked up his thermos.
Zhong Jie was secretly looking at the rim of the glass he had drunk from.
Jane Dieda, “…”
Zhong Jie didn't say anything after that.
After they finished eating, Zhong Jie silently washed the lunchbox, while Jian Dieda stayed behind to do the work of accompanying the family members while waiting for Ding Xiaoding's evil aura to dissipate. Zhong Jie helped sweep, mop, and tidy up the duty room, which had been noisy all night. He seemed to be a good hand at everything inside and outside the room, and he didn't let Jian Dieda do any dirty or tiring work.
The identity of the ghost remains unknown.
at night.
The third act has ended.
Jian Dieda is still not sure about the clues given by the fox spirit, but when he looked back at the three cards from last time, he felt that "Dong Dongdong's Public Security Dream" and "Cao Chunlan's Educated Youth Memories" were quite strange just by looking at the names.
If you exclude the first card and let him make only half of the blind selections, he will start to wonder what kind of plot will unfold between him and the two supporting characters after the single selections.
Jian Dieda began to use his imagination and association.
His temporary dilemma is that, from a timeline perspective, the information contained in Chunlan's card is most closely related to the real culprit. In addition, he is somewhat unable to understand the relationship between Dong Zhijie and the original owner of the body. He has always had a guess that the original owner of the body, Jian Da, has some other second identity in the plot setting...
The next card might reveal this.
