Chapter 60 Something is wrong
"You saw a ghost. Was it your grandfather?"
Seeing ghosts was normal for Tan Xuan, nothing to be surprised about, but it was hard for ordinary people to see them. Apart from Jiang Yingyue's grandfather, Tan Xuan didn't know what other ghosts she could see.
"It's not my grandfather, it's the woman I saw on the way back to Tongyu last time when you sent me there." Jiang Yingyue said in a panic, with tears in her voice.
"That ghost?" Tan Xuan was shocked. He had actually forgotten about this. He did not expect that the guy would actually come to Jiangzhou. Then he realized that this matter was not simple. There is a difference between humans and ghosts. Since Jiang Yingyue could see him, Jiang Yingyue might really be in danger.
"Where are you now? Are you in the car? If you are, get out immediately." Tan Xuan said anxiously, then started the car.
"No, I'm not in the car. I'm at the entrance of Wangjianglou Hotel on the Shimen Bridge side. I saw the female ghost just across the road, ah..."
There was a sudden scream from the phone, and then the sound disappeared in an instant.
Tan Xuan thought something happened on the other end of the phone and asked hurriedly, "Jiang Yingyue, what's wrong with you?"
"She...she seemed to see me looking at her, and she smiled at me. I was scared..." As she spoke, Jiang Yingyue began to sob, her voice intermittent. It seemed that she covered her mouth with her hands, probably because she was afraid of attracting the attention of the evil spirit.
"Then don't move now. Go back to the hotel and find a crowded place. I'll be there soon."
"Um."
"Don't hang up the phone. Tell me if there's anything else."
Tan Xuan was not sure about the location of Wangjiang Tower, but he knew where Shimen Bridge was. Tan Xuan put down his phone and turned the steering wheel sharply. He didn't care whether he could turn the car or not. He turned the car around and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and drove towards Shimen Bridge.
When Tan Xuan arrived at Wangjianglou Hotel, Jiang Yingyue was hiding tremblingly inside the hotel's door, with her head lowered, wiping the tears from her face. There was no one around her. Even the hotel waiters were standing far away, pointing and talking at Jiang Yingyue's back. No one asked her questions, and no one accompanied her.
"What's wrong? Why are you standing here alone?" Tan Xuan came to Jiang Yingyue and asked unhappily.
"Tan Xuan." Seeing Tan Xuan, Jiang Yingyue threw herself into Tan Xuan's arms and burst into tears with a "wow".
"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here." Tan Xuan patted Jiang Yingyue's back and comforted her. Jiang Yingyue was very scared now. Since his chest could give her support and bring some warmth, Tan Xuan did not refuse. At this time, he did not have any idea that there should be no physical contact between men and women.
When Jiang Yingyue calmed down a little, Tan Xuan asked, "Where is the ghost you mentioned?"
Jiang Yingyue lay on Tan Xuan's chest and shook her head, "I don't know, she disappeared suddenly, I don't know where she went."
“Gone?”
Tan Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart, but seeing Jiang Yingyue was so scared, he couldn't laugh out loud. When he came here just now, he didn't see any ghosts near the hotel, and there was a statue of Guan Gong at the entrance of this hotel, so those little ghosts didn't dare to come in easily.
Tan Xuan straightened Jiang Yingyue and asked seriously, "Did you really see clearly that it was the female ghost you met before ?"
Jiang Yingyue nodded, "Yes, it's her. She looks exactly the same as that night."
"Where did you see her?"
"Right over there." Jiang Yingyue pointed outwards, "I was seeing off a guest at the door at the time, and she was just across the road."
Tan Xuan looked through the glass on the door in the direction of Jiang Yingyue's finger. The riverside road outside the door was very wide, with four lanes on both sides. On the other side of the road was a row of stone railings, outside the railings was the sidewalk along the river, and in the distance was the river bank. Now as far as the eye could see, let alone ghosts, there was not even a single person, only the occasional car passing by on the road.
Seeing Tan Xuan looking outside without saying anything, Jiang Yingyue said aggrievedly: "I really didn't lie to you, she was leaning on that railing at the time."
Tan Xuan grinned, "I believe you."
"Then why didn't you leave with your colleagues after you saw the ghost?"
"Sister Wang is sending the guests back. The guests drove the car, so it's not appropriate for me to follow them. Besides, Sister Wang and the others didn't see the female ghost, including the waiter who came to the store. They all thought I was drunk and crazy. No one believed me. I have no choice but to call you."
As she spoke, Jiang Yingyue's expression became even more aggrieved, and tears welled up in her eyes, ready to fall again.
"It's okay. I'm here now. Okay, let's go too. I'll take you back."
"Um."
Jiang Yingyue nodded, took out a tissue from her bag and wiped her face, then followed Tan Xuan out of the restaurant. As for the waiters whispering behind her, she was too embarrassed to look at them. She couldn't stop them from thinking, so it was embarrassing.
"Brother, have you read the Spring and Autumn Annals? Brother, have you drunk boiled wine?"
Just as Tan Xuan helped Jiang Yingyue into the car, his cell phone rang.
"Hey, what's up?"
Seeing that it was Xiao Di calling, Tan Xuan no longer had any polite tone.
"Come and pick me up quickly. Something happened on Binjiang Road. I need to go there to get the first-hand information." Xiao Di's tone was full of excitement. After being idle for several days, she finally had work to do. She was used to the way Tan Xuan talked to her. Of course, she didn't have a good tone to Tan Xuan. She gave orders as if it was a matter of course, and she didn't allow Tan Xuan to refuse.
"I have someone in my car, please call another car." Although he was not allowed to refuse, Tan Xuan still refused. He had to send Jiang Yingyue back home, so he didn't have the heart to play with her.
"No, you have to come over here. There are some places where I can't squeeze in, so you have to go up here."
Xiao Di was used to giving Tan Xuan orders, and it worked so well, so how could she not use it?
"What happened on Binjiang Road?" Tan Xuan asked casually with a frown. Things depend on first come first served. Even if Xiao Di was in a hurry, he had to send Jiang Yingyue back to the dormitory first.
"There's a car that fell into the river over there."
After a pause, Xiao Di whispered again: "Do you think it has something to do with Yu Jing's incident?"
"Falling into the river?" Tan Xuan frowned even more deeply. He didn't believe that this accident had anything to do with Yu Jing, because Yu Jing had completely disappeared after her obsession was fulfilled. Perhaps this was a pure accident.
"Come here quickly, or you won't have first-hand information if you're too late."
"I don't have time, you figure it out yourself." Tan Xuan hung up the phone directly and threw the phone aside. Facing an unreasonable person, he was too lazy to reason with him.
"Is your friend in urgent need of help? Why don't you go and help her first? I don't have anything to do now anyway. I won't be so scared after you come over." Jiang Yingyue said softly from the side.
"It's okay, I'll take you home first. If she's in a hurry, you can think of other ways yourself." Tan Xuan started the car and was about to leave.
"No need, I can go back by myself."
Tan Xuan turned his head to look at Jiang Yingyue. Although there were still traces of tears on her face, she still managed a smile. This made Tan Xuan's heart warm. He didn't expect that she was so considerate at this time. This was completely beyond his perception of beautiful girls. Whether it was Su Cheng or Xiao Di, or other women he had met, they were more or less domineering.
Tan Xuan shook his head. "I'm worried about you going back alone. Are you in a hurry to go back? If you're not in a hurry, come with me. The person who called me is also a girl."
Jiang Yingyue hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "That's fine."
Tan Xuan took out his cell phone and called Xiao Di back. After the call was connected, he only said one sentence, "Hurry up and take your things downstairs. I'll be there soon."
Tan Xuan was already familiar with the route to Xiao Di's residence. He didn't need to turn on the navigation and quickly arrived at the gate of the community where Xiao Di lived. Xiao Di was already waiting there with her "equipment" bag on her back.
"Why is there another one?" Xiao Di was very surprised when he saw Jiang Yingyue sitting in the passenger seat. "I wanted a private car, why did you give me a shared car?"
Tan Xuan glared at Xiao Di unhappily, "Sit if you want or not, if not, go find someone else, why are you making so much trouble? If you don't want to sit, I don't want to sit either."
"Hey, hey, I'll sit. I'll sit." Xiao Di didn't doubt at all that he would leave right away. It was not like he had not done that before. He simply opened the car door and sat in the back seat.
Xiao Di looked at the beauty in the passenger seat from behind and found that there were still traces of tears on her face. He whispered to Tan Xuan who was driving, "Is this your passenger?"
"No, she's my friend, Jiang Yingyue, you two should get to know each other. By the way, her name is Xiao Di."
Tan Xuan didn't even turn his head and gave them an extremely brief and perfunctory introduction.
"Hello."
"Hello."
The two young and beautiful women greeted each other politely, very politely, but just politely, without showing any enthusiasm.
Binjiang Road is the longest road in Jiangzhou. It runs from the east to the west of the city and runs through the entire Jiangzhou along the river. The car accident scene that Xiao Di mentioned is in a bustling area in the city center, not too far from where Xiao Di lives, only a ten-minute drive away.
When Tan Xuan and his friends arrived at the scene of the accident, the police had just arrived and the cordon had not been fully set up. Several police officers were collecting evidence at the scene. The scene was tragic. The guardrail on the side of the bridge was directly hit and a gap was created. Many car parts were scattered on the bridge. Xiao Di relied on her identity as a police family member to directly bring Tan Xuan and Jiang Yingyue to the center of the accident. Tan Xuan helped her carry the backpack, and Jiang Yingyue followed Tan Xuan closely, almost being tied to Tan Xuan's belt.
Standing at the guardrail and looking down, a small section of the rear of the car that had not yet completely sunk was still exposed on the river surface several dozen meters above the bridge. Several rescue boats were parked on the river surface next to the car, and the searchlights on the boats illuminated the nearby river surface. At this time, several frogmen had jumped into the water and were rescuing the people in the car.
Looking at the tragic scene, Xiao Di took some photos and then walked up to Tan Xuan. He bit his lip and asked, "Did you find anything? The situation this time is almost exactly the same as Han Dong's. Could it be Yu Jing who did it?"
Tan Xuan looked at the brightly lit river and shook his head, "It wasn't Yu Jing who did it. There is no Yu Jing anymore in this world."
"Oh, that's good." Xiao Di let out a long breath and looked a lot more relaxed.
Tan Xuan suddenly said: "Something is wrong here."
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Xiao Di asked immediately.
Every profession has its own expertise. Xiao Di knew that Tan Xuan would not speak without a purpose, so she waited for Tan Xuan to explain to her.
Tan Xuan turned his head to look at Xiao Di and asked, "Don't you think it's quiet here?"
"Quiet? What does that mean?" Xiao Di didn't understand what Tan Xuan said. There was a lot of noise around, whether they were there to rescue people or to watch the fun, how could he tell what quiet meant.
"Ah!" At this moment, Jiang Yingyue, who was beside Tan Xuan, pointed at the rear of the car on the river and screamed. At the same time, her body softened and she sat on the ground.
