The day I was forced to be a detective pendant

"How?" I asked Yao Cheng, who shook his head and said, "The administrator called the head of the household, but the other party said he was not interested in selling the house, so he just hung up."

"Ah..." I said with a headache, "Then what should we do, can't we just ask for the phone number and we can call it ourselves?"

Yao Cheng and I looked at each other, and I asked, "What should we do next, Bian Yao?"

When I turned around, I found that this guy was sitting on someone's sofa familiarly, watching TV while unpacking the snacks on the coffee table.

"Hey! Be more serious, and why do you eat other people's food without saying a word!"

"He said you can eat it." Bian Yao took the snacks far away from me, and then "shh" me and said, "Keep your voice down."

I was about to beat him up when I suddenly noticed what was playing on the TV he was staring at intently—"Recently, the police in this city have uncovered a case of wildlife smuggling, wiped out illegal hiding places for wild animals, and rescued animals under national first-class protection." More than [-] animals, more than [-] second-class protected animals, and hundreds of domestic pets..."

me……"

Before we broke into the old factory building where the animals were kept, I couldn't figure out why the police came to the scene right behind.However, the follow-up of this incident was that Chu Huaixing and his brothers were following up, including the tube of anesthesia that Bian Yao had stolen and handed over to them for analysis.Speaking of which, since then, I haven't seen Chu Huaixing, and I haven't had time to untie the spirit contract with him yet.

Bian Yao put the lid on the potato chips and turned his head: "Let's talk."

Yao Cheng nodded: "The administrator said that the head of the household next door didn't want to sell the house, saying that the house was lived by his son before. Although the son probably won't be able to live in it in the future, he still wants to keep it."

"This! Doesn't this sound very ominous!" I said in horror, and took out a piece of toilet paper to wipe Bian Yao's index finger and thumb covered with potato chips, "'My son used to live here, but my son won't be able to live here in the future. I want to keep it now', doesn't it feel like my son is gone and I just want to keep it in vain..."

Seeing Yao Cheng's dejected look, I quickly stopped talking, and when I pulled hard, Bian Yao yelled, "What are you doing?"

I winked at him and said through my teeth: "You should think of a way."

Bian Yao glared at me, withdrew his finger, and fumbled for the phone again. Yao Cheng over here had already gritted his teeth and dialed the administrator again.He talked and talked, and finally got the number of the head of the household.

Before dialing, Yao Cheng glanced at me quite nervously, then lowered his head and took a few deep breaths.

I comforted him and said, "Don't worry, organize your language well... mainly to organize your thoughts. I think you'd better not explain everything at the beginning, lest people's parents think you are abducting and trafficking children... Hey, I won't say anything Alright, I, let's avoid it for a while."

I pulled Bian Yao to stand up, and he was quite reluctant to leave the sofa, and he even took Yao Cheng's potato chips with him before he left.I snatched the potato chips from his hand and put them on the shoe cabinet in Yao Cheng's entrance, and pushed him into the empty room next door.

The ground was covered with dust. Bian Yao looked around and found no place to sit, so he could only stand lazily and play with his mobile phone - I found that since the weather got colder and colder, this person's ability to move has been greatly reduced.Sometimes sitting on the sofa and watching a movie, he can fall asleep within 10 minutes, and even fell asleep while eating in the cafeteria at noon last week.In the past, Bian Yao was always sleepy in class because he stayed up late at night and went out to run assignments. Now his work and rest should be normal under my supervision, so there is only one explanation...

"Bian Yao."

After being slow for three beats, he procrastinated, "Huh?"

"Will you hibernate?"

Bian Yao looked up from the phone and glanced at me: "Are you stupid?"

"Let me ask you a good question. Also, is this how you treat your second landlord? Do you remember what you promised me?"

Yao Cheng's voice came through the poorly soundproofed wall at this time: "Auntie, it's me, I don't know if you still remember me... Yes, I used to live next door to you..."

"Because your mental state is really bad recently, I mean worse than usual. As a bright and energetic college student, is it really okay for you to be so gloomy every day?" I stretched out my hand to pluck his bangs, "You When are you going to get your hair cut?"

Bian Yao was so lazy that he didn't want to move anymore, he just kept leaning back trying to avoid my hand, and finally formed a strange posture of lowering his waist: "Don't do it, don't bother me."

I put both hands on it: "You put your hair like this... and then comb it like this, that's it... hey, don't hide, hahahahaha, you are a middle part now."

Yao Cheng next door: "It's such an aunt, I...I've been dreaming about Xiaofei recently."

I stopped tossing Bian Yao's hand, put my ear against the wall and listened intently.

Yao Cheng sounded surprised: "What? Envy me?"

"No, me too... I know that both of you actually care about him very much in your heart... I just had a better relationship with Xiao Fei when I was young, so I can't talk about taking care of him."

"No, I didn't accompany him for anything. I heard that Xiao Fei was injured in an accident that year. I didn't even come back to see him because of some personal reasons..."

"Okay, I see, I'm sorry to bother you. Well... I wish you well too..."

"Okay, okay," I pulled Bian Yao's arm, "The phone call is over, let's go back."

Bian Yao was taken for a walk by me inexplicably, and after returning to Yao Cheng's house, he went straight to the sofa and sat down again.I didn't bother to care about him, so I asked Yao Cheng directly: "How is it? What did Xiaofei's father say?"

"It was picked up by his mother." Yao Cheng's previous depression and anxiety were swept away, and only blankness remained on his face: "She said that Xiao Fei had a car accident two and a half years ago, and was overloaded by a downhill brake that did not brake in time. The truck was hit."

"Ah!" I remembered, "You said that Xiao Fei was afraid of the sound of the horn of the big truck passing by outside the door. Isn't that right?"

Yao Cheng looked at me, and said slowly, "After Xiaofei's car accident and surgery, he didn't wake up until... today."

"Gah?" I was stunned: "Vegetable?"

Yao Cheng nodded, and after a while, he remembered and blinked: "So the one I saw..."

I was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to comfort him, at this moment Bian Yao finally raised his head from the phone and asked, "Did his parents look like this?"

Yao Cheng was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

On the screen was a group photo of a group of people, like a handshake ceremony for a successful signing, with a big red banner behind it.Yao Cheng narrowed his eyes and took a closer look, pointed to the person in the middle and said, "Ah, this, this, Xiaofei's mother."

I flipped through the news: "Famous local entrepreneurs... No wonder the administrator said that they are not short of money, even if they can't live in the house, they don't want to sell it."

"Then I found this." Bian Yao switched to another web page, and the news on it was about the car accident of the couple's son. The intensive care unit was transferred to a special intensive care unit.The news also spent a lot of time describing how high-end and expensive the single VIP ward of this provincial hospital is, showing how much the couple love their child.

"Cut," I said disdainfully, "If you cared about your son, why did you go away? You only know how to spend money?"

Yao Cheng said: "Just now, his mother said the same thing. She said that she envied me that I could dream of Xiaofei, probably because I used to take care of him often. Both she and Xiaofei's father haven't dreamed of their son for a long time. , is Xiao Fei's punishment for them."

"Dream... Do you really think that every little thing you get along with Xiao Fei is just a dream?" I couldn't bear to ask.

Yao Cheng sighed softly, and said: "No, but... I don't know what to think now. If Xiao Fei wakes up, his parents will know, and that high-end nursing home can't let the patient go. I don’t know where I come and go. So... who is it that I’m living with?”

Considering that Yao Cheng will have to work overtime later, Bian Yao and I can't stay in his house for more, so we have to leave first.After walking out the door, I couldn't help sighing: "The world of adults is really difficult. Life has been turned upside down, but we still need social animals."

I looked back at the gray house: "Yao Cheng probably thought he was crazy, so... what shall we do next?"

Bian Yao was still walking with his head down and playing with his mobile phone. Seeing that he was about to hit a utility pole, I quickly gave him a hand.

"Did you already know something? I don't think you were surprised when you heard that Xiao Fei was a vegetable." I asked, "You see, Yao Cheng's soul is gone, it's too pitiful."

Compared with my infinite emotions, Bian Yao looked very cold: "Let me tell you this, just like your physical body cannot be brought into the spiritual realm, the spiritual body also has a world where the spiritual body exists."

I nodded: "Yeah, the spiritual domain. You explained to me before, in fact, everyone has their own spiritual domain, but without specific training, or knowing the correct method, ordinary people can't control it. Open up your spiritual domain."

Bian Yao said: "Let's assume that the spiritual realm is the inner world. It exists in parallel with this world and has no intersection with each other. It can only interact with each other in a specific way. Generally speaking, the spiritual body cannot leave the spiritual realm alone, let alone It is impossible to exist in this world apart from the physical body."

I craned my neck: "But?"

"But there are exceptions to everything. This Xiaofei's spiritual body may have escaped to the present world through some unknown method. But... there is one thing that is beyond doubt."

I asked curiously, "What?"

"It is impossible for the spiritual body to exist alone when the physical body is annihilated," Bian Yao said, "I guessed that his physical body was probably in a state of extreme weakness, so he could no longer imprison the spiritual body—like a parasitic If the mother body is too weak and the nutrition as a carrier is insufficient, the parasite will find another home."

My face was crooked: "Do you have to compare human souls to parasites?"

"Do you have to argue with me when I rarely explain it to you kindly?" Bian Yao said, "So, when I heard that he turned into a vegetable, I thought: Ah, it really is."

I paused, and thought: "According to what you said, Xiao Fei probably has not recovered from the last accident. His body is too weak, and his spirit has drifted to the deepest place of his fetters—his original home, and found the elder brother he knew when he was a child. Then, where is his body? It’s not like he’s still in that VIP ward for two years.”

"Yeah." Bian Yao said.

"Huh? What are you huh, eh? Where are you going? The station is not in that direction." I followed Bian Yao and took a few steps, then raised my head inexplicably—at some point, Bian Yao had already focused on Thinking about the problem but not paying attention to the road, I turned in front of such a huge white building.

"Chang...Changqing Nursing Home, eh?" I read the words on the building, and was instantly startled, "No way, when did you find out, please walk slowly!"

Bian Yao has already entered the building through the revolving door.

This hall is very bright and open. There are three receptionists sitting at the curved front desk, and there are security guards on the left and right sides.Before I could react, Bian Yao was already striding towards the elevator.

Just when the lady at the front desk was about to call him, he stopped and turned around as if suddenly aware of it, and asked, "The physiotherapy room is on the fourth floor, right?"

The front desk lady who hadn't had time to speak out was taken aback when she heard the words, and replied, "Ah, it's on the third floor."

"Thank you." Bian Yao nodded and continued to walk forward.

The eyes of other people in the hall instantly focused on my face, and I quickly put on the coolest expression I could think of—referring to the big brother of the Chu family—following him into the elevator.

As soon as the elevator door was closed, I took a long breath and asked, "So what if you sneak in? Are you looking for one by one? By the way, how did you find out that Xiao Fei is here?"

Bian Yao answered succinctly: "With Yao Cheng's house as the center, there is only this high-end sanatorium within a five-kilometer radius. It is impossible for the spiritual body to leave the physical body and go too far away, even where the owner has a strong bond."

The elevator door opened with a ding, and he pouted and pointed with his chin: "Over there, the floor map, find out which floor the full nursing ward is on."

I nodded with an "ohhhhh" without knowing it, and followed him to look up at the instruction map at the entrance of the corridor.Bian Yao had finished scanning quickly, but just as we were about to return to the elevator, we were suddenly stopped.

"Who are you looking for?" An aunty nurse in her forties stopped us, "Where's the visitor card?"

Bian Yao pretended to touch his chest, and said, "Ah, I fell into the ward. We bought water from the tenth floor." He pointed to the vending machine next to him.

The nurse aunt doubted: "Buy water? There is a restaurant on the sixth floor, why don't you buy it there?"

I was already sweating on my back, but Bian Yao didn't even shake his voice. He shrugged and said, "There's no peach-flavored soda on the sixth floor, so I thought I'd come down to try my luck, but it turned out that there wasn't any here either."

Damn, that's too fast, I thought to myself—this just explains why we didn't have water in our hands when we got into the elevator.

The nurse aunt was still skeptical, and she said: "You are the visitors from the room on the tenth floor. I will go up with you and show me the visitor card."

My heart is beating so fast - about to be found!Bian Yao on the side also fell silent, didn't speak any more, thinking about how to get out.

At this critical moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind us: "Sister Zhang, I know them, let me take them up."

I turned my head abruptly—it was Zhai Qi who came with the wind from the other end of the long corridor!

He was not dressed so formally today—the collar of his white shirt was turned out from the gray woolen sweater, and he was wearing a white coat.When he saw me, he greeted me: "I've been looking for you for a long time, oh yes," he said to the nurse, "The guest of 304 has rang the bell, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Okay, okay." The nurse aunt put away her doubts when she saw Senior Brother Zhai, and hurried away without looking at us again.

I leaned forward in a low voice: "Brother, why are you here?"

Zhai Qi didn't speak, he pushed open the elevator door, hooked his fingers, and Bian Yao and I followed in.

He pressed the elevator on the eighth floor and said, "Let's talk in my office."
