Volume 1 Chapter 43 Returning Home
After I finished taking the statement at the police station, the police chief personally met with me and thanked me for helping the police solve difficult supernatural cases, getting rid of harm for the citizens, and avenging those innocent deaths. The chief was quite talented and praised me for being able to catch ghosts in the world as a human and to go to the underworld to ask for people as a ghost, and I was called a "yin and yang ghost detective"!
The title of Yin-Yang Ghost Detective is an exaggeration. I don't think I did anything. It's just because of Yaxue that I want to find out . As for catching ghosts in the world of the living, even Yan Xiang can do it, but he can't catch living corpses. Others don't have the courage to ask for people from the underworld, but it's not a good word to say that I went to the underworld as a ghost to ask for people. Can I get people back as a ghost? I understand that he doesn't understand the ways of our business, so I won't bother with him too much.
There were many people flattering the chief in the police station. In addition to praising the chief for what he said, someone immediately sent his subordinates to make a banner with the words "Yin Yang Ghost Detective" in large letters on it.
The case was closed, and I was eager to go home. After Yaxue's death, the provincial capital was even more heartbreaking, and I couldn't stay there for even a moment.
Yan Xiang and Shen Bing sent me to the train station. Yan Xiang was very perceptive and knew that we had something to say, so he said, "Don't leave." This man has a good heart except for his strange temper.
Shen Bing scratched his head and said, "Are you really planning to leave? I've already told the chief that I'm hiring you and Yan Xiang to be the police station's psychic consultants."
I was in a bad mood, so I avoided making jokes and forced a smile. I said, "Thank you for your kindness. This place is not suitable for me. I still need to go back and take care of the shop passed down from my ancestors."
"Your town is only the size of a palm, how many customers can it have? It's better to move here, where you are guaranteed to have a lot of customers." Shen Bing spoke a little bolder when she saw me smile.
"All roads in the world lead to the underworld. No matter where your store is, there will always be customers."
Shen Bing scratched her head again. I found that this girl seemed to want to say something today, but she just didn’t know how to say it, so she kept scratching her head.
I added, "Just say whatever you want to say. It's ok even if you want to scold me. I'm used to it anyway."
When Shen Bing heard this, she looked even more bitter. She grunted and choked for a long time, and as soon as she opened her mouth her face turned red again. In the end, she didn't utter a word.
I thought to myself, what's wrong with this girl today? This is not her style. Normally, she doesn't think before doing anything and just says whatever comes to her mind. Why is she like a different person today?
"If you have something to say, just say it. Time is running out." I said, looking at my watch.
She lowered her head and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Haven't you thought of any reason to stay?"
Fortunately, I have good hearing, otherwise it would be hard to understand in the noisy waiting room. I thought to myself, if there is any reason, it must be for me to leave this place as soon as possible. Every moment I stay here, my heart will be in pain. I shook my head.
She said "Oh" awkwardly and looked up, with a look of disappointment on her face.
When I saw her expression, I wondered if this girl had fallen in love with me? That was impossible. We had only been together for a few days. How could I be so attractive?
"You should go back and drive carefully on the road." I saw the passengers gathering towards the entrance, so I urged her to go back.
Shen Bing nodded with a depressed look and stood there without moving.
This girl must have something on her mind. It's impossible to say that I don't have any feelings for her. I feel relaxed and happy when I'm with her. But I always treat her as my sister, and I don't have any other intentions. When she was like this before leaving, I felt uneasy, so I asked her, "Why are you unhappy? Talk to me, you'll feel better."
Shen Bing pouted: "You are a jerk and you pretend not to know. I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen anyone as shameless as you."
I was stunned. What do you mean I am Chen Shimei? You are calling me a shameless person. I glared at her and asked, "You need to make it clear. We are innocent and have nothing to do with Chen Shimei."
"How dare you claim innocence? You saw everything inside my body, and you even touched me in the mirror..."
Uh, she spoke too loudly, and a lot of people were looking over here. And when she said something like "I'm inside her body", it made people think even more.
She immediately covered her mouth, her eyes turned back and forth, her face became more and more shy, and she almost cried. Finally, she lowered her head and scolded me: "It's all because of you, you damned Chen Shimei, that I said everything out."
I was speechless. So she was talking about this. What era is this? Why are you still so feudal? Do you think it was in the ancient feudal society that a woman would marry a man if she was touched and looked at by him? Besides, it was unintentional at that time. It was understandable.
At this time, the announcement of my train's arrival was heard in the hall. I reached out and patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "I am a responsible man. If you insist that I take responsibility, then come back to Shangcheng Town with me. Anyway, I will not stay in the provincial capital."
Shen Bing suddenly smiled and opened my hand: "You haven't taken advantage of me enough, right? I was just joking with you. Seeing that you were so upset, I was trying to cheer you up."
This made me feel empty inside, it turned out that she was just teasing me. I would rather what she said just now was true, so that I could be ashamed again and again, at least there is a beautiful woman who will always remember me.
But after being teased by her, I felt much better. I picked up my bag, said goodbye to her, and turned around to go back to the station .
She called from behind me: "Hey, remember when you miss me..."
There was no sound at this point. I turned around and saw her putting her hand next to her ear as if she was making a phone call, with a bright smile on her face.
I nodded, smiled at her, and squeezed into the crowd.
When I got home, my mother saw me coming back alone and asked me where my girlfriend was. I said I broke up with her. She didn't say anything and went to cook right away. My mother is a very typical virtuous woman. She never nags her husband and is very tolerant of her son. No matter what I do, she thinks it is natural and there is nothing wrong with it.
After dinner, I took out the urn and told her about Yaxue. My mother hugged me and cried, saying that she would still be the daughter-in-law of our Xi family even if she died, so we should find an auspicious day to bury her ashes in the ancestral grave. I said there was no rush, let me stay with her for a few more days. We hadn't seen each other for three years, so how could I bear to come back and throw her away?
The so-called these few days may be a lifetime in my heart.
When I went to the store, I carried the box with me. When I came back to sleep, I put it next to my pillow. I felt that Yaxue was by my side. We went out together and slept in the same bed. I wanted her to live happily every day. Although she had lost her soul, her shadow was always flashing in front of my eyes.
