I picked up a ghost and took it home

There are five people in the family portrait.

In the middle is an old man with gray hair and a happy expression, his eyes are crooked and narrowed into a flower when he smiles, but he shows his teeth that have been in disrepair.On the left side of the old man is a middle-aged man wearing thick glasses, staring at the camera with an unnatural expression, as if a little dodging; on the right side of the old man is a middle-aged woman with a dignified appearance and a gentle smile; standing in the back Two sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, who looked exactly the same, both wore ponytails, gestured scissors to the camera, and smiled youthfully.

Pang Guang held Ye Fan's hand, stared at the man in the photo for a while, and said inexplicably, "This is Fang Zhongwen." He meant that the corpse belonged to Fang Zhongwen. The man with a stiff face is also Fang Zhongwen.

"Oh." Ye Fan felt that it was unexpected but also reasonable.In order to resurrect himself, he killed so many innocent people. No matter how he thought about it, the murderer was a vicious person. However, this vicious person was not vicious from the beginning. He was once a restrained ordinary human being.

Pang Guang also said, "After the first headless corpse case happened, since the deceased was a student of Fang Zhongwen, I went to the Academy of Fine Arts to talk to him to learn about the deceased. It's a bit unreasonable, his students are dead, and he still looks indifferent—I never thought that I was actually talking to a corpse at that time...it's so fucking unbelievable!"

"Yes." Ye Fan remembered drinking coffee at the convenience store that night and chatting with Qingzi.At that time, Haruko was already dead, and she was preparing for her resurrection, and asked him to go to the playground together after her resurrection.But he didn't know anything, he just pretended not to understand and refused.

There was a sudden commotion at the mouth of the well, and Police Officer Xiao Liu shouted down the well, "Team Pang, support is here, you come up first!"

Pang Guang has already obtained the first-hand information he wanted, and the air at the bottom of the well is really disgusting, irritating his stomach is churning constantly, he is going to go up to get some air, anyway, sorting and transporting the corpses up It's a matter, there are those idle forensic doctors to do it.However, he still admires Ye Fan. An ordinary person who doesn't even touch a knife or gun usually dares to come down with him. Watching this horrifying scene, he didn't act too disqualified. Well, it's really brave A man living with an old ghost!

Pang Guang patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, "Brother Xiao Ye, you go up first."

Ye Fan didn't refuse. The dull and oppressive atmosphere in the well actually made him tense and almost collapsed.He handed the family photo to Pang Guang, walked to the rope, grabbed the rope, and was pulled out of the well by the police above.

The soles of his feet touched the real ground, and Ye Fan's heart fell to the ground. He walked out two steps weakly, and then sat down on the pile of grass next to him, breathing in the fresh air of the ground.The policeman yelled to pull the rope up again, and just halfway through the rope, he heard a "chuck" from the rope, and the police team who was pulling people with all their strength immediately sat down on their backs, holding half of the rope in their hands. A broken rope coming out of the wellhead.The policemen exclaimed, "Fuck!"

"..." A familiar ominous premonition welled up in Ye Fan's heart.

Then there was the voice of the policemen holding the mouth of the well and looking down, "Captain Pang, are you okay!"

It took Pang Guang a long time before he roared depressingly, "Why did the rope break, I am so heavy!"

So the forensic doctors who had just arrived, the first thing was to splint the broken right leg of Pang Guang, and the second thing was to send people down the well to sort the corpses.

Ye Fan looked at Pang Guang, who was hugging his legs and scolding his mother, and he was full of apologies - he had already paid attention not to have too much contact with humans, and this time he had to spend a long time alone with Pang Guang, unexpectedly, the accident still happened. happened.When he asked to go down the well, on the one hand, he heard from Yuan Sen that Pang Guangchang was very powerful, and he thought Pang Guang would not be affected by him; on the other hand, he insisted on coming down because he was afraid that Pang Guang would have an accident at the bottom of the well.

Unexpectedly...a leg was broken...and another leg was broken...

Pang Guang saw that Ye Fan kept looking at him with apologetic eyes, and said indifferently, "Don't mind, Brother Xiaoye, it's because the rope they bought is not good, it's not because you are too heavy to make the rope like this..."

"..." Ye Fan hesitated in embarrassment, and said remedially, "Captain Pang, how about I take you to the hospital? I will share your medical expenses—"

"It has nothing to do with you! It's almost dawn, you all go back to rest, I'll wait here for them to get the body out." Pang Guang said, pointing to Yuan Sen who was bowing his head in silence, "Help me send Daxian Yuan Go back to school. That Yuan Daxian, I will pay you later, and concentrate on the case today."

I don't know if it was because of Li Xuan's two torches that burned up the ghostly aura of the ancient temple road, or because it was getting brighter, the gloomy alley suddenly calmed down, like an ordinary street in the morning, waiting to The first person pushed open the door and came out.

Yuan Sen walked ahead without saying a word, stopped suddenly, and turned to stare at Ye Fan.

"..." Ye Fan was stared at in a daze.

Yuan Sen asked, "Aren't you afraid? You don't know magic, and you are not a policeman. No one forces you. Why do you insist on going down into the well?"

Are you scared?Ye Fan looked down at his hands. He had already taken off his gloves, but his palms were still blistered, and his fingers were shaking slightly. Aren't you afraid?

Nonsense, of course scared!However, sometimes there are things that have to be done.

Ye Fan withdrew his hand, met Yuan Sen's probing gaze, and laughed, "Although I'm scared, it's exciting."

"..." Yuan Sen's expression was complicated, he hesitated to speak, and finally said angrily, "Do you think I will admire your heroic behavior? Do you think I will praise you? You idiot!"

Yuan Sen turned around arrogantly, and strode out of the alley.

"..." Ye Fan shivered in the cold wind for a while, then looked around, and realized that no one heard what Yuan Sen scolded him, so he smiled sheepishly and walked out of the alley.Li Xuan had disappeared in the blink of an eye when he saw Ye Fan climb out of the well, and was sitting in the car at the moment.

Yuan Sen glanced at Li Xuan in the passenger seat, opened the rear door without saying a word, sat in with a blank expression, and looked out the window.When Ye Fan got in, he found that the atmosphere in the car was very quiet, but fortunately, "Yuan Daxian" and "Boss Li" didn't fight, so he didn't dare to make a sound, and started the car directly to leave Gumiao Road.

The "headless corpse case" that has been raging has been solved like this.

The fact that the perpetrator was a "dead man" made Pang Guang a little reconciled and at the same time relieved - he tried his best to investigate the case for a month, and it was unbelievable that the perpetrator was a dead man; Human beings can still be saved if such unconscionable things happen.

For the next half month, Pang Guang leaned on a cane every day, turned into an "iron crutch", and ran around to close the case.

Pang Guang first called Ye Fan and asked Ye Fan to "keep his mouth shut" about the truth of the case. After all, it involved superstitious thoughts that cannot be publicized; Ye Fan expressed his understanding that for the sake of social harmony and stability, he was willing to keep silent.

All the corpses at the bottom of the Crescent Well were recovered. In addition to the eight corpses involved in this "headless corpse case", there were 33 other corpses ranging from the late Qing Dynasty to the 60s. The corpses unrelated to this case were taken to the crematorium for incineration and buried together in a cemetery on the outskirts of the city.After the corpses were cleaned up, Yuan Sen was invited to do a ritual ceremony, after which Crescent Well was buried.

The cardboard box with the number "Gumiao Road-23" on it was also burned after the ceremony.

The eight corpses involved in the "headless corpse case" were each returned to their families, followed by funerals one after another.

Pang Guang was infected by the tragic atmosphere of the funeral, and he felt that he was going to be depressed.He only attended half of Fang Zhongwen's funeral. Halfway through, he came out with a cane, pulled off his tie, and leaned against the telephone pole to smoke heavily.

He took out the family photo in his pocket. When he looked at the photo in the well that day, he thought it must be a happy family. But when he really learned about Fang Zhongwen's family, he saw the truth.In the photo, the 68-year-old old mother with blooming eyes is blind; the dignified and gentle wife in the photo has disabled legs; the twin daughters in the photo are like scissor hands to the camera, and they are studying in a school for the deaf-mute——

Fuck|Damn, Pang Guang thought, how can a family be so miserable.Fang Zhongwen is the only healthy person in the family and the pillar of the family. He died suddenly in a car accident. He couldn't let go of his family, so he tried everything possible to revive him.

Pang Guang couldn't imagine how a dead man who was run over by a car escaped from the morgue, pretended to go home normally, took care of his paralyzed wife, called his mother and a pair of daughters far away in his hometown, sent Living expenses, but also to go back to school to attend classes, to deal with school chores, planning "resurrection from the dead".

Haruko's body has not yet been cremated, let alone the funeral - Haruko's mother did not believe that her daughter was dead, and kept repeating, "Haruko has been busy recently and lives in school. She sent me messages on time..."

Haruko's younger brother looked irritable, "I don't know where that girl died. When it was time for me to pay the tuition fee, she came back... to die? How could she die? What will my mother and I do if she dies? "

Pang Guang came to the side of the main road with a cane and raised his hand to stop the car. The driver saw that he was wearing mourning clothes and thought it was unlucky, so he was reluctant to pull him. Pang Guang raised his cane and was about to smash the window. The driver was scared and got out of the car He opened the car door for him and asked cautiously, "Master, where are you going?"

Pang Guang leaned on the back of the chair with a headache, thought for a long time, and finally said to go to the "Dasan Garden".

"Dasanyuan" is the demolition area where Ye Fan lives now.

When the driver heard this, he became even more cowardly, "No one lives there, why are you going there?"

"To visit a friend who is a ghost." Pang Guang rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"...Don't make fun of me..." The driver's face was wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and Pang Guang suddenly lowered his voice, stared at him intently, and asked faintly, "Do you think I am a human or a ghost? "

There was a chill, from the top of the head to the toes, the driver shivered greatly, slammed on the brakes, looked back at Pang Guang with tears in his eyes, and sincerely begged, "Master, please forgive me."

After Pang Guang finished scaring people, he felt a little bored. He inserted his fingers into his short trimmed hair, brushed it back casually, lit his cigarette again, and said irritably, "Take me to Dasan Garden. No more nonsense. , turning you into a ghost too."

For the first time in his life, although the case was closed, Pang Guang was still unhappy, quite unhappy!An indescribable feeling, as if something was stuck in his heart, stuck in his throat, making him unable to eat or sleep. He always felt that this was not going to work, and he had to do something.

The driver put Pang Guang on the outermost street in the demolition area called "Dasanyuan", and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Pang Guang took off the white flowers on his chest and threw them on the side of the road. When he saw a few unknown small yellow flowers in the weeds, he pulled them out, shook the ashes from the petals, and grabbed them into a handful, wanting to treat them as flowers. The flower bouquet was used, but he looked left and right, and said to himself, "Why does it still feel like going to a grave."

He threw the little yellow flower on the side of the road in a bad mood, and decided to visit Ye Fan empty-handed.

Passing through one old alley crookedly written with "Chaizi" after another, Pang Guang finally saw an alley without weeds. Leaning on crutches, he came to the closed big iron gate.

After he stood still, he looked around and thought, "It's so fucking desolate. It would be weird if this demolition area wasn't haunted by ghosts."

He completely tore the loose tie away from his neck, stuffed it into his suit pocket, and raised his hand to knock on the door——

But before his hand touched the iron door, the iron door creaked and opened from the inside.

Pang Guang leaned on a cane and walked into the door. The door was empty, and no one came to open the door for him, as if the door opened automatically?Or the ghost opened it for him!

Before he recovered, the big iron gate had already hit behind him.

The yard in front of me was clean and simple, quiet and quiet, as if there was no one there.
