Chapter 009: Red-robed Ghost (08)
Could it be because of Gu?
Xie Chi's eyes narrowed.
A qualified PET1.0 will not spontaneously develop a disease and cause any trouble to his owner. This is something that is written into his genetic sequence when he is born, so there is absolutely no possibility that there is a problem inside his body.
It could only be the work of a horror movie - for some plot requirement, he, as an actor, had a nosebleed.
Yan Jing said: "It's nothing serious. I guess he got angry. After all, it's a hot day in a horror movie. Of course, it could be that he took too much tonic. It's not that easy to get sick..."
[This kind of flag is about to break, it is probably really sick, go to the hospital for a checkup and you will know for sure. ]
[The little blind man is so thick-skinned that he could be in trouble if he ignores the slightest abnormality during filming.]
[Is it because of the Gu? I saw him staring at his index finger in a daze.]
[Don't guess blindly, maybe it's just a nosebleed. ]
Xie Chi thought for a few seconds and decided to put this matter aside for the time being. This was not the point at the moment. He had to hurry and investigate what happened eighteen years ago.
Xie Chi folded the paper with the female ghost picture on it, stuffed it into his shirt pocket, stood up and said, "I'll go ask passers-by about this company."
Xie Chi searched for this company on his computer last night.
Although it is located in a remote area, it is indeed a well-capitalized listed company. The company has been thriving in recent years and has been developing at an alarming speed. In addition to opening this company, the female boss has also invested in many other industries and made a lot of money.
The ghost baby said that he had been dead for eighteen years, and this company was built exactly nineteen years ago. When the ghost baby died, the company building should not have been completed yet.
There is no other information beyond this.
The two of them left the company building and saw someone jogging on the road in the morning, so Xie Chi went over to stop him.
After a while of negotiation, the old man in the sweatshirt opened up completely: "You mean the young-looking female boss? She's from another place, and no one here knows her at all. I remember that about 20 years ago, she and her husband suddenly came here to buy land and build a building. We thought she was crazy to come here to start a company, but guess what happened?"
Xie Chi frowned slightly.
The female boss got married almost twenty years ago, but she looks to be in . It is impossible for her to get married at the age of eleven or twelve.
The old man was about to continue speaking when Xie Chi interrupted, "Uncle, how old was she when she first came here twenty years ago?"
"She must be in her twenties! This is what I want to say. That boss is simply... how do you say that word? Oh, right, she is growing younger! When she first came, she was dark, fat, and big and strong. But within a year, she became a completely different person. She is young and beautiful, and even prettier than many female stars on TV!"
Yan Jing finally realized something and swallowed hard: "Uncle, from what you said, the female boss was in her twenties when she came here, and she has been here for twenty years, so she must be in her forties..."
"It's possible even at fifty! That's why I told my wife before that it's amazing that she can still get pregnant at such an old age!"
Fifty……
Yan Jing was so choked by the truth that he was speechless.
The old man scratched his head: "Where was I just talking about?"
Xie Chi reminded considerately: "You just mentioned her company."
"Oh yeah! Now I remember, she was so lucky. When she first started her company, she was worried about not having enough funds. But then she just bought a lottery ticket and won the first prize. Oh my god."
Yan Jing couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is too incredible, right? What's the probability of this?"
Beauty and youth? Good luck? Is this the effect of Gu?
Xie Chi seemed to be thinking about something.
After chatting for a while, Xie Chi was about to go back after saying thanks when the old man grabbed him and said warmly, "You are so handsome, and have a good temper. Are you married? Let me introduce you to someone! The girl from my second aunt's family..."
"..." The veins on Xie Chi's forehead jumped twice, and he smiled and said, "No need."
The old man was a little disappointed, but seeing that Xie Chi really liked her, he continued, "Young man, don't be so quick to refuse. Think about it again. My second aunt's daughter has a good figure, a pretty face, is petite, and has a lively personality. She will definitely get along well with you..."
"Really." Xie Chi chuckled, "I like those who are taller than me, with a straight figure, a cool personality, and strong and sharp facial features."
The old man was stunned.
Xie Chi nodded slightly to express his gratitude, and walked back with Yan Jing.
Yan Jing's expression was indescribable: "Xie Ge, your ideal type..."
The old man couldn't help but mutter behind his back: "This guy has to be a man, right?"
Xie Chi paused for a moment, then turned around and smiled at him.
The old man looked confused.
Yan Jing followed Xie Chi back to the building: "Brother Xie, what should we do now? It seems that we can't get the secret from eighteen years ago by asking others..."
Xie Chi lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said nonchalantly: "If others can't ask, then ask... the person involved."
Yan Jing's eyes widened immediately: "Participants? What do you mean? You mean the female boss?"
Before Xie Chi could say anything, Yan Jing shook his head again and again: "No, no! The APP says that you can't attack a pregnant female boss!"
Xie Chi was speechless: "...Who said I was going to attack her?"
Yan Jing was confused: "How can you get her to confess if you don't attack her? After all, it's a murder. How can she admit it just by asking? If I killed someone, I wouldn't admit it either, unless you tie me up and threaten me. But the APP says that you can't attack the female boss..."
Xie Chi touched Yan Jing's head helplessly: "I didn't say I would ask the female boss."
Yan Jing was completely stunned, and felt that his brain was not enough: "Brother Xie, if you don't ask the female boss, who else can you ask?"
"In a murder case, there is a murderer, and of course there is also..." Xie Chi smiled intriguingly, "the victim."
"The murderer is being evasive and vague in order to avoid disaster. Without extraordinary means, we cannot extract any key information. The victim, however, is eagerly waiting for you to listen to her and save her."
"If it was really the female boss who killed the female ghost who was pregnant with the ghost baby, as the victim, I think." Xie Chi paused and chuckled, "The female ghost would welcome us to ask her and help her. She will tell us what happened that year."
His back as he walked into the building was extremely graceful and elegant.
Yan Jing was stunned for two seconds: "F*ck!!! Brother Xie, are you going to ask a ghost??!"
The moment he understood what Xie Chi meant, he felt his three perspectives were shattered.
Xie Chi sat on a chair at the side, and Yan Jing came up to him and said, "Brother Xie, don't do anything rash, it's a ghost! How can you guarantee that she won't kill you if you can tell her the truth?"
"Besides." Yan Jing hesitated, "Why do I feel that you prefer to be close to ghosts rather than people? They are ghosts! Ghosts that kill without blinking an eye! Although it is difficult to ask the female boss, it is much safer than asking ghosts..."
Xie Chi was helpless: "I'm not stupid enough to run into the elevator to ask."
Yan Jing was eager to learn: "Then..."
Xie Chi was too lazy to explain: "You'll know tonight."
In the afternoon, the female boss came and Xie Chi asked her to borrow money to pay off the debts he had incurred the day before.
On the way, Xie Chi went to buy twenty-six dice and a candle.
At ten o'clock in the evening, all the actors started their next day's work. With the lesson learned from Zhang Lan, they all returned to their respective floors to catch up on their work, trying to finish early and get together.
It's the fifth floor now.
Yan Jing sat on the sofa and asked in confusion: "Brother Xie, why did you draw the curtains?"
Xie Chi said nothing. After pulling the curtain of the last window on the fifth floor, he turned off all the lights on the fifth floor with a click.
The fifth floor was instantly plunged into lifeless darkness.
Xie Chi took out a lighter and lit the candle he had bought during the day. He walked over in the dim, flickering candlelight and sat on the sofa opposite Yan Jing.
【What is he going to do? 】
【Strange and cute. 】
"Brother Xie?" Yan Jing also realized that the atmosphere was not right and called out tentatively.
"Don't talk for a while." Xie Chi said, and took out the dice with letters engraved on them from his pocket. There were 26 dice in total, each with a letter engraved on it, from A to Z, without any repetition.
Xie Chi gathered all the dice in his palm and asked softly under the candlelight: "Are you here?"
He asked this question, closed his eyes slightly, and threw a handful of dice in his hand onto the table.
When he opened his eyes again, Xie Chi's pupils shrank slightly.
The other dice scattered to the edge of the table, leaving only three dice at the closest, and the letters on them added up to... "Yes".
She's at.
It really works. Xie Chi curled the corners of his mouth slightly and took back all the dice.
"Are you the ghost girl in the elevator?"
Xie Chi asked calmly, throwing all the dice again.
The answer this time is still... "Yes".
“We want to help you, are you willing to communicate with me?” - “Yes”.
Xie Chi got to the point: "Was it the female boss who killed you?" - "Yes".
"Is the ghost baby your child?" - "Yes."
All the speculations were confirmed at this moment - the female ghost was killed by the female boss, and the baby in her belly was cut out and became a ghost baby wandering in the building.
Xie Chi was silent for a few seconds, then slowly asked: "Where is your body?"
The moment he asked the question, he already had the answer in his mind.
——“LIFT”. lift, elevator.
really.
Xie Chi stared at the word for a while and smiled.
The ghost girl's body was at the bottom of the elevator, so she was trapped in the elevator and could only kill people in the elevator.
Yan Jing couldn't see anything and could only hear Xie Chi talking to himself. He finally couldn't resist his curiosity and opened his Yin-Yang eyes. The expression on his face froze instantly and he almost screamed.
The familiar female ghost hand was fiddling with the dice, placing the appropriate letters to show Xie Chi the information he needed.
