The Demon and the Puppeteer

"May I ask if there was anything unusual about your boyfriend before he died?"

"We made an appointment to watch a movie together, but he left in a hurry before the movie started."

"Why is he in such a hurry to leave?"

"A strange boy in a black sweater and hoodie said a few words to him and he left."

"Did your boyfriend tell you what happened?"

"No, I called him three times. I thought he didn't answer because he didn't want to talk to me. I didn't expect..."

"What does that strange boy look like?"

"He is more than 1.7 meters tall, and he is thin. The hat covers most of his face, and I can't see clearly."

……

On the documentary channel of City A, a reporter interviews a woman on the TV screen. The reporter and the woman sit opposite each other. A potted plant blocks the woman's face. The voice has also been specially processed to appear rigid and boring.

Han Jizhi sat on the sofa in the hall on the first floor and watched silently.

Wang Qi was going to go to the movies, so why he went home early is really suspicious.

I remember that the first thing he said when he came home was to ask if there was anything wrong with Chu Hui. Could it be that strange boy told him that something might happen to Chu Hui?

According to the image described by the woman, it is very similar to Feidu.

Feidu once gave him a ticket to the Taoran Memorial Hall, which just happened to allow him to witness the murder of a corpse dog and let him get the fragments of the fairy stone, so it seems that Feidu is helping him.

If that strange boy is really Fei Du, then what is Fei Du's purpose in leading Wang Qi home?

Chu Hui said that his father brought them back to life in order to let them change their destiny, how to change it?

"Look, it's about to change..."

Could it be... by killing people?

Kill someone close to him before he was alive?

Tao Ran and Fan Xiaowei, Wang Yalan and Wang Qi are husband and wife, and mother and son. Is there a deeper karma between them?

Han Jizhi asked Yan Ziyu who was playing the game of raising a beautiful boy in the corner of the sofa: "Ziyu, how can a dead person change his fate?"

Yan Ziyu was playing the game with great interest, without raising his head, he said: "There are many ways to change fate, but at our time, if a dead person seized the opportunity to change his fate, he usually killed him before he was alive. people, the trajectory of fate will be completely changed.”

"But he is already dead. Is there any fate after death?"

"Huh? Officer, your question is a bit contradictory." Yan Ziyu put down his phone, pondered for a long time, and said, "If a person completely disappears into the world, then naturally there is no fate. But if a person dies, Alive again, life from scratch, of course it can be said that fate has changed."

"If a person is dead and can't live, but he has a way to kill the person who killed him, this can also be said to change the fate, not to change the fate of the dead, but to kill the person who should not have died. and the fate of all the people around him that may be affected. After all, it is common sense that the dead cannot interfere with the living. Generally, the karma will be fulfilled during reincarnation. Once the dead kill the living in the same life, many The trajectory of a person’s fate in that life will be changed.”

Han Jizhi thought for a while and asked, "Then how should we classify them like corpse dogs and decontamination dogs? Is it the one that dies and lives again, or the one that can't live?"

"Eh?" Yan Ziyu scratched his head, "They seem to be in a different situation. They already have the body, appearance and memory of the deceased, and they have life through the fairy stone. It can almost be regarded as the resurrection of the dead, but There is a little difference from the dead, and it can barely be regarded as the kind of dead and alive, but it is alive in another sense."

"You said that if a dead person seizes the opportunity to change his destiny, he usually kills the person who killed him before he was alive. Then the corpse dog also removes the filth. Did they kill Fan Xiaowei and Wang Qi because of Tao Ran And they killed Wang Yalan?"

"It's possible, if this is the case, the puppets that disappeared will definitely return to the people who killed their prototypes to wait for an opportunity to take revenge... By the way! The same is true for Feidu, when Su Ying asked the official's father to customize a real puppet for Little Wolf Didn’t you think that the little wolf was hit and killed by Lu Tiange’s car? So Fei Du went to find Lu Tiange, must be planning how to kill him?”

Han Jizhi retrieved the phone number Song Xue had given him earlier: "We can ask Police Officer Song about the specific circumstances of the deaths of Tao Ran and Wang Yalan."

Yan Ziyu's eyes changed, he opened his mouth and didn't speak, and continued to play the game with his head buried.

Han Jizhi noticed Yan Ziyu's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Ziyu scratched his head: "I feel that the police officer doesn't seem to be human... It's better to have less contact..."

Han Jizhi was about to inquire further, when Yan Ziyu suddenly became smaller and disappeared in the hall, and then the bell of the villa door rang, Han Jizhi looked out, it was Song Xue.

"I didn't disturb you entertaining guests, did I?" Song Xue walked in, squinted her phoenix eyes and looked around the hall, her eyes paused slightly at the sofa and TV, and said with a smile, "I'm here today to investigate the death of Wang Qi Case, it seems that you have learned something."

"Officer Song is polite, I don't have any other guests."

"Ah, is it? It seems that I guessed wrong." Song Xue smiled and sat on the soft sofa without any embarrassment. It happened to be the middle position where Yan Ziyu and Han Jizhi were sitting before. She patted the sofa with both hands , smiled, "I see two depressions on this sofa, as if two people have sat there, so I thought you had guests."

From Han Jizhi's point of view, although he and Yan Ziyu sat on the sofa with a sag, they quickly returned to their original state when they left together. If you don't look carefully, you can't see any sag at all. I have to feel Song Xue's keen observation ability.

Han Jizhi said perfunctorily, "I put something here before."

Song Xue nodded and asked, "What do you think about the case of Wang Qi's death?"

The interview with Qian Wen on TV was over. Han Jizhi picked up the remote control and tuned it casually, and stopped on an entertainment program: "I don't know much about the case of Wang Qi's death. I only know that this case is related to The Tao Ran puppet murder case is very similar, it is also a puppet murder, and the puppet that kills is still a real puppet made by my father."

Song Xue nodded and stared at Han Jizhi: "How is your relationship with Wang Qi?"

"It can only be said to be a simple acquaintance."

"Really?" Song Xue said in a deep voice, "According to the memories of Wang Qi's girlfriend, the description of Langyuan security guards and the display of the elevator camera, did you go to Wang Qi's house two days ago? Did you have any contact with Wang Qi? What other relationship?"

"No other relationship." Han Jizhi paused, "Actually, Xianyuan Puppets took over two orders because the real puppets made by my father disappeared, and they happened to be Tao Ran and Wang Yalan. I suspect someone might use my father to make them. The puppet came to kill people, so I wanted to try to find out about the situation from Wang Qi."

"Then what did you learn from Wang Qi?"

"He refused to say anything, so I wanted to follow him to his house, but I found nothing."

"Now it seems that your suspicion is very likely to be right. Does your father have any enemies?"

"No, my father was a gentleman and always handled things just right."

"You don't have any means of contacting your father?"

"No."

Song Xue propped her chin and thought for a while: "Is there anyone else besides Tao Ran and Wang Yalan for the order that Xianyuan Puppet accepted?"

"Nothing."

"Okay." Song Xue stood up, "If you find any clues, you can contact me anytime.

"I feel more and more that she is not human, and I was almost spotted by her just now." After Song Xue left, Yan Ziyu crawled out from under the sofa, turned into a prototype, and patted the ashes on his clothes. He frowned unconsciously and said in disgust. , "If only my nose consciousness was still there, I would definitely be able to smell her smell. It's all because of this puppet body, and I can't do anything... But if it wasn't for this puppet body, she might be able to smell me too, Ah, I didn't expect such a useless container to be useful."

"It's time to clean under the sofa." After listening to Yan Ziyu's complaints silently, Han Jizhi brushed off the dust stuck to Yan Ziyu's hair with one hand, and smoothed Yan Ziyu's brows with the other, "Your body is not useless now, at least for me, you have Its form unfolds before my eyes, and I can see you, and that is enough."

"Guardian...but I look like this, I can't feel the smell of the gentleman, the temperature of the gentleman. After that...Guardian, how can we both cultivate..."

Han Jizhi: "..."

Yan Ziyu: "Officer, I'm just joking... Now that we have obtained two fragments of immortal stones, it's Feidu's turn."

------------------------------------------------

The sky was drizzling with light rain. I don’t know why it seemed that the weather was also not good every time she encountered sad events. Su Ying stood in front of the tomb with a black umbrella. The photo on the tombstone showed her father with an unshaven beard and a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth. A few lines of words, the last line is engraved with "died of lung cancer". Really, I still couldn't quit smoking in the end. I am a doctor, and I know the harm of smoking, but I always smoke and smoke, knowing that I have lung cancer. I still don’t change after the end, but I can hold back in front of her, and I can’t do it as soon as she’s not in front of me, saying that there are always some things or people in life that people can’t get rid of. Instead of suppressing the turmoil in their hearts, it’s better to face them ( They), are all sophistry...

It's all her fault, she was discovered by her father, and she wanted to find the murderer who killed the little wolf, but she waited because of her father's illness, and sometimes wondered, when will she wait...

Tears rolled down her cheeks, and the umbrella fell aside. Su Ying knelt down and hugged her knees and cried bitterly.
