Chapter 51
Cui Yu was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, walked quickly to He Tao, hit him with his heel again, and asked angrily,
"Tell me! Are you behind this? You killed my sister, and now you're not even letting go of her body. You're truly insane! Hand my sister over immediately!"
"Ugh! Help...help me!"
A sudden cry for help rang out, causing the confused crowd to look over.
The Taoist priest was holding a whisk in his hand. The whisk was wrapped around his neck several times, strangling him tightly, as if it had its own consciousness. No matter how the Taoist priest struggled, he could not get free.
The Taoist priest's face turned red, and the red gradually turned into cyan, and everyone present was immediately frightened.
"Could it be that Cui Linlin has come back to take my life?"
"Cui Linlin must have been murdered. She's so resentful, she's not going to drag us down with her, is she?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the guests present showed horror on their faces and rushed out of the door, not caring about their image or face, they just wanted to escape.
The scene was in chaos. Police officers were on site to maintain order and cordoned off the funeral hall.
Xu Guannan was just about to step forward to rescue the Taoist priest when he saw Lin Sheng suddenly appear in front of him. He rescued the Taoist priest first and approached the two of them. He heard Lin Sheng's teasing tone.
"It's not easy to make money these days, and helping ghosts to transcend can even cost you your life."
"What do you mean by salvation? That person asked me to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits. He said someone in his family died recently and he's been having bad luck for the past few days. He paid a lot of money to ask me to help. Who would have thought this ghost would be so powerful?"
Lin Sheng frowned and turned to look at Xu Guannan.
"Did you hear everything? Maybe the body you're looking for is right here."
When Xu Guannan received the case, he sent a message to Lin Sheng, but Lin Sheng refused, saying that someone was treating her to a big meal. Seeing her at this time, he felt relieved.
"Is this the feast you were talking about?"
Lin Sheng sighed helplessly, looking at the tables of delayed delicacies, his heart seemed to be bleeding.
"If you had come a little later, I would have eaten it."
"I'll treat you when the case is over."
Lin Sheng raised his eyebrows, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he agreed happily.
As soon as he finished speaking, the lid of the coffin suddenly opened under the black and white photo of the woman in the middle of the funeral, rolled in the air for a while, and smashed straight into the door of the hall.
"Ah! Run!"
An Yun was walking towards He Tao and helping him up when he heard a noise. He looked back blankly and saw the coffin coming towards him. His pupils constricted and he wanted to escape desperately, but his limbs were weak and he couldn't move.
He Tao turned around in time and saw this scene. He shook off An Yun's hand and threw himself to the side.
Everyone present was dumbfounded. They never expected He Tao to do such a thing. They couldn't help but feel sorry for An Yun.
An Yun looked at He Tao in shock, his eyes full of disbelief, and for a moment he even forgot his fear.
Seeing the situation, Lin Sheng quickly opened the treasure bag and released Wangcai.
Only a white shadow flashed before everyone's eyes.
Bai Ying knocked An Yun to the ground, perfectly avoiding the flying coffin board, and completed a series of operations. Wangcai walked arrogantly to Lin Sheng, asking for praise with a proud look on his face.
Lin Sheng skillfully stretched out his hand to tease her.
"Well done, I'll reward you with a big chicken drumstick when you get back."
The expected tragic scene did not happen, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
He Tao was embarrassed for a moment, and hurried forward to hold An Yun's hand, and checked An Yun's condition with a worried look on his face.
"Yunyun, are you hurt?"
An Yun pushed his hand away, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and He Tao froze in his place.
"No need for you to be hypocritical."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, He Tao did not make too many excuses, but thanked Lin Sheng with a grateful look on his face.
"Master, that was a close call just now. Fortunately, you were there to save An Yun. It seems that I made the right move by inviting you."
There seemed to be another meaning in his words - it was thanks to him that he invited the master.
He Tao is very good at using polite words.
Lin Sheng looked at him with a smile on his face. When their eyes met, Lin Sheng said indifferently,
"I don't deserve it. If Mr. He had helped Miss An just now, he would have saved Miss An faster than me."
He Tao's thoughts were exposed on the spot. He was embarrassed and couldn't save face at all. He just wanted to quickly get rid of this topic.
"Great God, you have seen everything now. Someone must be trying to harm me. You must save me. My life depends on you."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng's eyes showed a hint of teasing. He met He Tao's gaze with a teasing look on his face, and said in a light and teasing tone,
"Human? Mr. He really thinks it was done by a human? Could it be a ghost?"
In a flash, the lights in the hall suddenly flickered, first fast and then slow, as if they were watching a play, deliberately trying to play a trick on people.
Seeing this scene, the people present suddenly panicked and speculated.
"Is there really a ghost?! What on earth did He Tao do? Will we be implicated as well?"
"No wonder they specially invited a Taoist priest. I saw a peach wood sword on the table. It must be a prop used to exorcise ghosts!"
"Ghost? Are there really ghosts? Did he do something bad and is afraid of ghosts knocking on his door?"
"It seems very likely that he and his mistress killed Cui Linlin. He relied on women to get to the top, and he even dared to kill people. Cui Linlin really let a wolf into the house! Could this ghost be..."
"Cui Linlin! It's Cui Linlin!"
Suddenly someone pointed at the photo and shouted. The shout instantly attracted everyone's attention. Looking in the direction of the gesture, a shrill scream broke out in the venue.
A "person" was hanging on the wall of the synagogue. His figure obscured the black and white photo, and his disheveled hair made it difficult to see his face. However, the sharp-eyed people discovered the key.
"Cui Linlin, this is the clothes Cui Linlin was wearing before she died! She is Cui Linlin!"
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of everyone in the audience instantly became terrified and they all fled, but the door had already been closed. A group of people were crowded under the tables and chairs, begging constantly.
In an instant, He Tao was the only one left in the center of the hall.
His eyes fell on the female ghost, and He Tao's throat moved slightly. He didn't dare to look away, let alone act rashly. His legs had already been frightened and limp, and he couldn't move at all.
An inexplicable chill blew through the hall, gently brushing the ghost girl's black hair, vaguely revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar face. It looked the same as Cui Linlin, but there was a bloodstain as wide as a thumb joint on it, which split the face in half.
The smile on the corner of her mouth was split into two, revealing a dark blood-red ravine. Her eye sockets were bloodshot, and a stream of blood and tears slowly flowed from the corner of her eyes, slowly falling along her pale skeleton and dripping onto the pure white dress, embellishing it with a blood-red flower.
The room was silent, but one could hear the clear heartbeat.
The female ghost slowly raised one of her sleeves, pointed at He Tao, and whimpered, but her throat had already turned into a bloody hole, and she could not utter a word. She only let out a sharp and piercing wail.
Everyone stole a glimpse of the female ghost in fear. They were afraid, but also curious. When they saw the ghost's actions, they all had the answer in their hearts.
"Cui Linlin came back to find He Tao. He Tao must have killed her!"
The person who spoke didn't speak loudly, but Cui Yu heard it clearly. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. While everyone was distracted, he quietly reached for the knife and fork on the table.
He Tao stood there, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from his temples, his throat was dry, his heart was trembling in his throat, he couldn't make any sound, a layer of cold sweat soaked his back, liquid unconsciously secreted from his eye sockets, his legs trembled constantly, and he couldn't control his fluids between his legs, which flowed down his legs shamefully and along his trouser legs to the edge of his expensive and shiny leather shoes.
"Hey, he was actually scared to death! He's done a lot of bad things."
He Tao was shocked to realize his own loss of composure when he heard the jokes from the people next to him. However, he did not have time to pay attention to the ridicule in his ears. His legs became weak and he knelt on the ground with a plop. He kowtowed to the female ghost and kept muttering anxiously,
"It's not me who hurt you! It's not me, it's not me. I still have to take care of Lele. Don't kill me."
Everyone's attention was focused on He Tao, and no one noticed that the child had disappeared long ago.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Three more loud kowtows.
The female ghost did not move for a long time. At the moment when the fourth noise fell, she suddenly made a loud noise, and everyone was instantly attracted by the noise.
The head fell down unexpectedly and hit the tribute table accurately. The loose black hair was accidentally ignited by the candlelight, burning the entire head in an instant. A horrible smell of rotting bones instantly filled the hall.
The moment the head fell, scarlet blood spurted out from the neck, splashing all over the wall, and eye-catching blood veins flowed down the white wall.
Then, the white dress suddenly fell down and landed on the burning and hissing head on the table. The fire suddenly became fierce and swallowed the entire female corpse in an instant. The stench and black smoke filled the whole room. The guests present felt their stomachs churning and fell to the ground vomiting.
A momentary change turned the female ghost into a pile of ashes, and her original appearance could no longer be recognized.
The people present looked at the ashes on the ground blankly, as if the fear just now was all a dream, but the ashes, the wall of blood and the unpleasant smell in the air all proved the existence of the female ghost.
He Tao gradually came back to his senses and realized that the danger was over. He immediately suppressed his inner fear and pleading for mercy, stood in the center of the hall again, wiped the tears from his face, and calmly adjusted his clothes to make himself look generous and decent.
At this moment, while everyone was still immersed in the fear of the female ghost, one person had already come back to his senses and quietly approached He Tao in the middle of the hall, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"He Tao, I want you to be buried with Linlin!"
He Tao was caught off guard by the roaring sound. He turned around to look at the source of the sound and saw a silver light breaking through the silence of the hall and heading straight towards him, leaving no way to avoid it.
Everyone was stunned. They had no idea how things would turn out. They held their breath and watched the scene in front of them with trepidation.
"No! Stop her!"
Lin Sheng said this in a hurry. The white shadow at his feet attacked again. He was distracted and caught up with Cui Yu in an instant. He curled up his body and hit Cui Yu's abdomen. The weapon deviated and left a shallow red mark on He Tao's neck, with a few drops of blood oozing out.
