Volume 1 Chapter 38 The Corpse Speaks
Noticing that something was wrong, Long Shaohui was about to speak, but Yan Xiang looked up at the lantern and said, "Where did you buy the lantern?" Only then did he realize the problem. With this level of skill, how could he be a master of the supernatural who was feared in the provincial capital?
Professional mourners belong to funeral companies, providing one-stop services. They also do all the work of decorating the mourning hall. One of the men immediately replied, "It was given by Mr. Tan. Mr. Tan has always been responsible for supplying the items for decorating the mourning hall."
Tan Qing coughed twice and said, "Master Yan, is there something wrong with the lantern?"
Prime Minister Yan glared at him angrily, and without saying a word , he picked up the peach wood sword and was about to throw it at a lantern in the northeast corner.
I hurriedly reached out to stop him and said to him, "Wait, even if the lanterns are extinguished, the might of the Four Spirits is still there. Unless you blindfold them, otherwise, you will anger the Four Spirits and it will get even more chaotic."
After listening to this, Minister Yan nodded, with an expression of sudden enlightenment, and asked me: "Did you set up a counterattack outside?"
I smiled and said, "That's right, otherwise the evil spirits wouldn't have been able to get in. But now someone is playing tricks and destroying the gold position, making the Azure Dragon see again."
Minister Yan said, "I understand." He threw the peach wood sword to the ground and ran out of the mourning hall like a gust of wind. I guess he was going to help Shen Bing.
Tan Qing's face changed drastically. Yan Xiang was not an easy person to deal with. With his help to Shen Bing, the backlash would definitely be reset. He also turned around and ran out. I quickly winked at Long Shaohui.
Long Shaohui immediately understood and shouted, "Mr. Tan, what are you going to do?"
Tan Qing quickly stopped, turned around and said in an unnatural tone: "I'll go help Master Yan."
"You two have never been on good terms with each other. Why did Mr. Tan suddenly think of helping him?" Long Shaohui's face was as cold as an ice eggplant.
Tan Qing sighed: "Since Officer Long suspects that I have ulterior motives, there's not much point in me staying here. Bye." He was about to leave angrily.
"Are you going to flee for fear of crime?" I said with a sneer.
He took a step forward, then stopped and turned to look at me. His small eyes were gleaming with hatred. Then he laughed and said, "Boy, you are such a joker. What crime have I committed that I have to flee?"
Long Shaohui said with a dark face: "No one is allowed to leave the scene tonight." He glared at people with a sense of intimidation without even getting angry, which made people feel afraid involuntarily.
Tan Qing nodded, walked back to the mourning hall, looked at me with a dagger in his smile, and said, "Then I won't leave yet. I want to open my eyes and see how the evil ghost speaks."
I chuckled and said, "I promise it will open your eyes!"
As soon as the voice fell, the lantern in the northeast corner dimmed, and the black air calmed down. I knew that Yan Xiang and Shen Bing had taken care of it, so I picked up the dagger and chanted the spell again, spinning the sword into the sky.
Shen Bing and Yan Xiang came back and saw me performing a ritual. No one spoke. They walked up to Long Shaohui and Shen Bing whispered something in his ear. Long Shaohui's face changed drastically, his eyes widened, but after looking at me, he calmed down and just nodded.
After the black air gathered above the spirit table, I reached down and grabbed it. The dagger flew down with a hissing sound and hit the spirit table. I clamped the dagger with both hands and chanted loudly: "I am Xifeng, the tenth generation inheritor of ghost affairs. Please possess my body. If you dare to resist, you will be turned into dust. Hurry up and obey the order!"
Two black airs obediently flew down into the constant temperature coffin, and the two corpses suddenly trembled, making quite a noise.
"Ah..." Everyone in the room was shocked!
If we say that the evil spirit was causing trouble just now, we didn't see its shape, so the fear was not that strong. What people fear most is the resurrection of the dead. Just imagine, on a windy and dark night, and at the time of the evil spirit before the funeral, if the dead body suddenly moved in the coffin in the mourning hall, wouldn't people be scared to death? That is more terrifying than the weird scene that cannot be seen or touched.
I looked back and saw that Yan Xiang's cold expression showed admiration, while Tan Qing was shocked and didn't believe it was true. Because if a Huisha ghost came back, it would never return to the body, wouldn't that be resurrection?
Yan Ning was so scared that she stepped back, leaned against the wall, and looked at the constant temperature coffin in horror. She should be the one who was most afraid. The mastermind behind this case was their Ling family!
Shen Bing closed her eyes and muttered softly, "I've been a ghost, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid!" I almost got so angry that my mouth twisted. If you're not afraid, why are you closing your eyes?
I saw that the ritual was complete, so I had to open the coffin, otherwise the evil spirits would not be able to speak. I lit a stick of incense, raised it towards the coffin and said, " Please apologize for opening the coffin rashly!" I inserted the incense into the incense burner, walked around the spirit table and was about to open the coffin lid.
"Wait, how can you open the coffin and disturb the dead? Are you still a human being if you can do such a thing?" Tan Qing shouted angrily and winked at Yan Ning while speaking.
Yan Ning nodded tremblingly, but her pale face revealed that she was very frightened and she couldn't even speak.
I snorted coldly. I didn't care about anything. As long as Long Shaohui didn't stop me, I would open the coffin. I opened the coffin lids one by one. Oh, there was such a strong yin energy. I hurriedly took a step back. Then I reached out and peeled off the white cloth on the faces of the corpses, revealing two horrible charred faces!
"Ah..." Everyone exclaimed again!
I walked back to the spirit table, held the dagger between my palms, and asked loudly, "The tenth generation inheritor of ghost affairs, Xi Feng..."
"Can you skip the prelude and get straight to the point?" Shen Bing urged.
Oh my god, this girl always makes trouble at critical moments.
"Please answer the questions, two evil spirits. What are your names and why did you die? Men should answer first, and women should answer later!"
As soon as I finished speaking, a series of "ho ho" sounds came out of the throat of the corpse on the left. It was very harsh and unpleasant, and it was also a bit terrifying. It made my hair stand on end. Yan Ning screamed and fell to the ground The professional vigilers were so scared that they all hugged their heads and trembled on the ground.
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid..." Shen Bing covered her face with her hands this time.
The male corpse on the left screamed for a while. The vocal cords of the corpse may have been burned. It is trying to adjust the effect. I said, don't hesitate, just speak with your own voice. This is not resurrection, but the soul is attached to the corpse. There are two sets of bodies, one corpse and one ghost body. It doesn't matter which one you use.
"Ahem..." The male corpse coughed violently for a while, spitting out a pile of ashes, and then began to speak hoarsely: "My name is Wu Xinping, and I am the security guard of Director Ling's home. Ahem, I was tied up in the building by a masked old man, who opened the gas tank and set it on fire to burn us to death."
Yan Ning screamed, his face pale, and he lay on the ground, looking at Tan Qing and shouting, "What should I do? What should I do?"
Tan Qing's face was ashen, but he immediately sneered, "Why are you asking me? Your family has done something so evil, what does it have to do with me?"
Long Shaohui looked around at the two of them without saying anything. He winked at me, indicating that I should continue.
After the male ghost finished speaking, the female ghost took over. She had a common problem: she would cough for a while and cough out the black dust in her throat before she could speak. Her name was Ma Xiaofeng and she was the nanny of the Ling family. She had the same experience as Wu Xinping.
After the two ghosts finished speaking, everything became clear. As I expected, the two people were tied up in the building and burned to death. The explosion on the small building was caused by a gas tank. Fortunately, the bodies of the two people were not damaged by the explosion, which was a blessing in disguise.
Yan Ning pulled his hair with both hands and shouted like crazy: "Stop talking, stop talking..."
Tan Qing snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of? Can this folk trick of pretending to be a ghost and talking be used as evidence? If so, in the future, there will be no need for witnesses and evidence in court. Wouldn't it be enough to just interrogate the ghost?"
When Long Shaohui heard this, he immediately frowned. I also thought to myself that this was not good. This kind of thing can only let us understand the truth, but it cannot be used as evidence and cannot be brought to court!
