Chapter 43 Call the Police
As my cousin chanted and practiced, the evil energy in the house seemed to be not as serious as before.
The wind was very strong, blowing in through the window, blowing the sail I was holding onto all over the place, and even a grown man like me couldn't hold on to it at all.
After my cousin burned the Taoist talisman, he recited some incantations for a while, and the wind gradually stopped.
I didn't feel relieved until my cousin gave me an eye signal that the matter had been resolved.
I turned around to look at Dong Jing. Although her face was still a little pale, she was in good spirits.
"Are you feeling better?" I asked with concern.
Dong Jing nodded: "I'm fine."
As long as everything is alright.
I don’t know what happened to them here before. I looked at Dong Jing and had a lot of things I wanted to ask her.
"Do you still remember how you got into trouble?"
Dong Jing looked at me and recalled carefully.
"I remember your uncle asked me to go into that room, so I walked in without holding anything. But when I walked in, I began to hear the noise of children. Not only that, but there was also a foul smell coming from the room. I followed the smell and felt dizzy. I gradually became unconscious and didn't know what I was doing."
Room?
Why did her cousin let her go into the room alone?
"Don't look at me like that. If I want to set up the formation outside, she has to go and clean the house by herself. Since you're not coming, I can't leave, so isn't she the only one left?"
My cousin looked at me with an innocent face, and I knew he was telling the truth, so I didn't pursue the matter any further.
But in the end, there was still a problem with that room, so I planned to go in again myself.
"Xiao Jie, ever since Dong Jing entered the room, the house has been filled with foul air. Don't blame me for not reminding you. We only drove away a part of it just now. I believe that as long as you go in again, more foul air will leak out, so you better be careful."
My cousin's reminder was well-intentioned. I nodded to indicate that I understood, and then walked inside.
Just as Dong Jing said, as soon as I walked inside, I began to smell a foul odor.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be the smell of a corpse.
But there is one thing that I find particularly strange.
Brother Fei and his wife have lived here for so long, can't they smell anything?
After walking around the room, my nostrils seemed to have gotten used to the smell.
Gradually, I couldn't find the origin of the taste.
This made me feel panicked, because this room clearly exuded a strange atmosphere.
"Wen Jie, do you need help?" Dong Jing's voice sounded in the living room.
This gave me, who was a little confused in the room, a glimmer of hope.
No matter how yin my physique is, I am a man after all, and it is difficult for me to attract the gathering of yin and foul energy.
But Dongjing is different.
I was still thinking about it, and she didn't get any response from me, so she just walked in.
As Dong Jing walked into the room, the temperature in the entire room suddenly dropped.
"Xiao Jie!"
I heard my cousin calling from the living room. He probably needed me to come over for help.
But this will only create a vicious cycle.
Dong Jing and I looked at each other, and my eyes told her that I would not go out.
As long as we clean up the room first, nothing will happen outside.
I walked around the room more than once, but found nothing.
Until I suddenly started to hear tinnitus.
"What's wrong?"
I felt a little dizzy, and Dong Jing, who was next to me, reached out and supported me.
When I touched her hand, I clearly heard a knocking sound next to my ear.
From the look on her face, it was clear she had heard it, too.
I don’t know if she was scared or not, but I was terrified.
I held her hand and we stood in front of the wall next to the closet.
The knocking sounds became clearer and clearer.
I just stared at the wall, and started to sort out the timeline in my mind.
"I roughly know what happened." I looked at Dong Jing, and a chill made my hair stand on end.
Dong Jing looked at me with her pupils slightly shrunken.
Her expression told me that she probably knew it too.
We backed out of the room.
When we walked out of the room, the wind in the living room stopped blowing.
My cousin looked at us and said with trembling lips, "Call the police."
…
Outside the Jinbi community, police cars were parked all over the community.
The police came up and took statements from the three of us inside the house and the owner of the house, Brother Fei, who was outside the house.
"How can you be sure that there is something inside this wall?" A policeman looked at us as if we were idiots.
My cousin and I looked at each other. It’s really hard to say.
It can’t be said to be intuition, and it’s even more impossible to say that we found it through searching.
"It's hard for us to handle the situation since you guys are silent and making such a big scene in the middle of the night." The policeman guided us patiently.
But we really have nothing to say.
The recording lasted until dawn, but we still couldn't get the police to help us chisel open the wall.
"You should know that it's not that we don't want to help, but your evidence is insufficient and we can't do anything. Wait until you find definite evidence and then call us." The police officer handed his business card to me.
I frowned and looked at it. What he said did make sense.
The curtains were suddenly drawn open, and the light outside was extremely dazzling. I stood by the window, feeling a little dazed.
The police team retreated, and only a few of us and Brother Fei were left in the room.
"Why did you call the police so impulsively?"
Brother Fei's tone did not sound questioning; he was more puzzled.
"Who did you buy this house from?" asked my cousin a little confused.
We have only heard that Brother Fei didn't spend much money when he bought this house, but for a normal apartment, especially in Jinbi Community, the market price is also quite expensive.
Brother Fei hesitated for a long time without saying a word, and we knew there must be something fishy about this matter.
"If you don't tell me, I can't help you. We don't want your money. Please find someone else."
This is my cousin’s usual tactic. He is a man whose eyes light up when he sees money. How could he not want money?
But this trick worked every time. Brother Fei really grabbed his cousin and said, "Mr. Wen, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
My cousin's mouth curled up with a smug look on his face.
"You should have said it earlier. What secrets can you have from me? I can't hurt you!"
Brother Fei had a difficult look on his face and lowered his voice: "I... I found this house through an agency, but later I didn't buy it from an agency. I went directly to the owner."
What?!
