Relocation Brigade

Group friends: [What second one? 】

Chen Ling: [Yesterday there was another person who committed suicide, you don't know? 】

【…】

[...Fuck, I don't know!I'm going to look for news elsewhere. 】

The people in the group dispersed. Chen Ling pondered for a moment, and the first opinion he expressed was: "There is no TV at home. From now on, we will sit in front of the TV and watch the local news on time at six o'clock every night."

Knowing current affairs and paying attention to local people's livelihood, Wu Weiwei thought this suggestion was great, and raised his hands in favor: "Listen to Brother Chen."

Chen Ling slid his fingertips, pulled the chat history that had been dragged to the bottom back to the top, and carefully read the horror nursery rhyme from beginning to end silently several times.

He asked, "Where did this nursery rhyme come from? Why haven't I heard it before?"

"I haven't heard of it either." Wu Weiwei scratched his hair in puzzlement, and was startled suddenly, "No, I've heard that it was written by a horror novel author who became popular a few years ago. I don't like novels, so I don't like them. I looked it over carefully, and only heard it mentioned once in the group.”

"Horror novel?" Chen Ling was a little surprised.

"Well, the author published it on the Internet, so no one has seen him in reality."

If it is a nursery rhyme that has been passed down from a more ancient era, it has been sung a lot, and it may really become a real curse because of people's fear.But it has only been available in recent years, so you don't have to worry about this problem.

Seeing the young man's silence, Wu Weiwei became nervous: "Brother Chen, is there any problem with nursery rhymes?"

"It's nothing, I just think the first sentence is somewhat similar to the first case." Chen Ling chewed the weird nursery rhyme again and again in his heart.

"It's pretty creepy. Brother Chen, let's go back first, the sun is getting hotter and hotter."

Chen Ling looked up at the sky, there was no cloud in the sky, only a bright and dazzling sun hung in the sky.He took out his mobile phone to call a taxi, and while waiting, he bought two ice cream cones on the side of the street.

Wu Weiwei took a bite and bared his teeth. It was ice, but the ice was so refreshing that he wanted to take another bite.

Before the car arrived, Chen Ling had already finished the ice cream, he wiped his hands with a wet towel and sat in.

The master who drove the car had a local accent and was not young. They often walked through the streets and alleys, and they knew more about the big and small things that happened in the city than ordinary street aunts.

Chen Ling rolled his eyes, and suddenly said, "Master, I want to temporarily change the destination."

"Okay, you can operate it on your mobile phone where you want to go." The master paid attention to the road ahead and slowed down the speed of the car.

Chen Ling pretended to click on the phone a few times, wondering: "Sorry, I forgot the name of the place, it was on the news a while ago, the place where a girl committed suicide."

Feeling impolite to the deceased after speaking, he put his hands together in his heart and silently recited a few words to offend.

The driver raised his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror, and met the young man's eyes, "You mean Bayi Community?"

"Yes, it's here." Chen Ling smiled sheepishly.

The master's expression stiffened: "Can I send you to that neighborhood? Don't laugh at me if I tell you. I'm timid. What happened in that community recently is really horrifying. I really dare not go into the community."

The address has already been found out, it doesn't matter if the driver goes there or not, Chen Ling nodded understandingly and said, "It's okay, just put us on the side of the street a little farther away."

The driver breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Are you looking for classmates or relatives?"

Chen Ling said along, "I'm looking for a classmate."

The driver kindly reminded: "Then you guys should go home early after seeing your classmates. Today happens to be the seventh day after the girl's death. It's the night of returning to the soul. It's best not to hang out in that neighborhood at night."

Chen Ling frantically nodded in fear, "I know, thank you uncle."

Wu Weiwei put his hands on his knees and sat on the side without saying a word the whole time, all his attention was on his superb acting skills of Brother Chen.

After getting out of the car, he asked, "Brother Chen, what are we doing here? Are you interested in those two suicide cases?"

"I just feel that something is not right, and I want to take a look." Chen Ling took a step forward, thinking of what the group said earlier, "You can't control the normal level", he backed up.

Said to Wu Weiwei: "Call Li Hongyu and ask him if the Special Investigation Department has received any cases transferred from the police."

Wu Weiwei asked smoothly: "What if there is no? Do you want to take this order?"

"Impossible." Chen Ling said with certainty, but it was only a guess, and after a urging, he walked towards Bayi Community.

The community was very quiet, and it was midday when the sun was shining, so there were hardly any people on the street.

The buildings on both sides of the street were once the dormitories of a super large state-owned enterprise. The dark red walls have fallen off and there are very few left, and each building has an old and decayed smell.

"Brother Chen."

Wu Weiwei hung up the phone and came up from behind, and said to Chen Ling who was standing in front of the fruit stand, staring at the boss packing the fruit basket: "I have some news, shall we go to the side and talk?"

It's better not to say anything about gods and ghosts in front of ordinary people in broad daylight.

Chen Ling paid the money to the boss first, and walked with Wu Weiwei under the shade of a tree beside him: "Say it."

"Li Hongyu said that the police in the case of the girl's suicide have indeed transferred the information to the special investigation team. They also sent two people from the second team to investigate. The investigation results show that the girl committed suicide because she was treated as a scapegoat."

"Which accidental death did she take the place of?" Chen Ling asked.

"Li Hongyu refused to go into details, and he kept silent about the case of the office workers, saying that they had internal regulations and that information about the case could not be released to the outside world." As for the information he just received, Li Hongyu thought that the two parties could barely be regarded as partners. I just said it.

Chen Ling: "If you don't say it, don't say it, let's check it ourselves."

There are many sources of the theory of finding a substitute for the dead ghost, and only one of them has been officially stamped.

A small number of people who committed suicide by accident had too much evil spirit and resentment to enter the nether world. They wandered in the mortal world, waiting for someone with predestined relationship to appear.

The so-called predestined people must have died or committed suicide in the same way.If you meet one, you can use it as your own substitute, enter the underworld and enter reincarnation, occupying the quota of other people's reincarnation.

If they fail to meet, there will always be some who are driven crazy by their own grievances, and use vicious means to actively kill living people in order to obtain substitutes... Such people will be recorded as evil causes, and will be handed over to The underworld messengers are sent to the underworld, deprived of the chance of reincarnation, and cannot be reborn in the [-]th hell.

Take the first girl who committed suicide.

Judging from her personality and life experience, the idea of ​​suicide does not make sense.

If he was really found as a substitute, it was likely that he was killed by an evil spirit and wanted to forcibly seize the chance of reincarnation.

As for the second office worker who beat himself to death... Chen Ling carefully recalled the description of the stall owner's friend, the way of death was too tragic and painful.

Most importantly, the man didn't want to commit suicide, otherwise why bother calling for help when he fell off the rails?

Chen Ling believes that the office workers should be similar to the first victim. They also encountered evil spirits and were arrested and forcibly used as scapegoats.

"No..." Chen Ling murmured.

Wu Weiwei looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Chen Ling expressed his thoughts, "According to the law of finding a substitute for a dead ghost, even if an evil ghost forcibly finds a substitute, the victim's death method should be the same as the evil ghost's death method."

"No problem, the girl died by cutting her neck with a kitchen knife, and the office worker kowtowed to death on the stairs by himself."

"Yes, so they must not have encountered the same evil spirit." Chen Ling questioned, "Then why did the same smile appear on the faces of these two after they died?"

It was this smile that made him feel that the idea of ​​"replacing the dead ghost" was not so tenable.

It makes people subconsciously feel that there may be some kind of connection between the two deceased.

"I...I don't know..." Wu Weiwei was stopped by the question.

Death is mostly fear, especially for young men and women who are just beginning their lives.

What kind of things do you have to encounter before you die, and what kind of mood do you have, so that you can still have joy and smile at the moment when you die.

The two were silent at the same time, looking at each other, seeing the same blankness in each other's eyes.

Seeing Chen Ling looking back and thinking with eyelashes down, Wu Weiwei felt that he couldn't stand still and do nothing, so he pointed to the community elderly activity center not far away, and said, "Brother Chen, I'll go to the activity center to inquire about the girl's home." the address of."

Chen Ling gave a soft "hmm", thinking of the hot weather, he took out 20 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it to Wu Weiwei: "Buy two bottles of mineral water, and two popsicles."

Wu Weiwei ran away holding the money.

After entering the activity center, he first bought two bottles of water, unscrewed one to quench his thirst, and then walked towards the only mahjong table inside.

The players who play cards are all permanent residents in the community, either they are taken over by their sons and daughters for retirement, or they are retired employees of their own units. All the grandpas and aunts are in good spirits, and they beat the mahjong with a bang.

Unexpectedly, the moment Wu Weiwei opened his mouth, the sound of mahjong stopped, and the grandpas and aunts who were playing mahjong and watching the fun looked at him with condemning eyes.

Wu Weiwei was puzzled: "What's wrong? Is there any taboo that you can't say?"

"You are with that group." One of the old men snorted heavily, took out the [-] in his hand, and said in a cold voice, "Go, don't inquire about people after they die. retribution."

As soon as Chen Ling entered the door, he heard such a serious sentence, stepped forward, and dragged Wu Weiwei behind him: "Grandpa, we are Xiaofan's classmates, and we just want to come and see her."

The girl's name was mosaiced, and the news only said that she was called Lin Moufan. Chen Ling took the risk, and if people present asked him what the girl's name was, they would definitely reveal it.

Fortunately, the uncle who spoke didn't ask anything.

Seeing later that the young man was good-looking, well-behaved, and exuding a kind and indescribable temperament, the aunt sitting opposite the uncle put down the mahjong tiles in her hand, smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. Little brother, I misunderstood you, we thought you were with that column team."

"What column group?" Chen Ling asked suspiciously.

"Say it's called Ling what eight columns." The aunt has gray hair and deep wrinkles on her face. She must be very old. She has a bad memory and really can't remember, so she nudged the person next door with her elbow.

"Tell me, what is it called?"

"[-], look at your memory."

Chen Ling looked at Wu Weiwei and asked him with his eyes: Do you know?

Wu Weiwei understood it, shook his head like a rattle, took out his phone and shook it, motioning for himself to search online.

The uncle who played [-] earlier cleared his throat and asked, "Are you really Miss Lin's classmates?"

"Well, I'm in the same class as her. I know today is the first seven days, so I want to visit her again." In order to show that he didn't lie, Chen Ling shook the heavy fruit basket in his hand.

Chen Ling's appearance is rather tender, and his clothes are not mature. He said he was a high school student, and the grandparents present really believed it.

An aunt wearing a cheongsam lowered her glasses and smiled: "I heard that the girl from the Lin family had a little boyfriend, little brother, is that you?"

"...No, no." Chen Ling quickly separated the relationship, "She and I are just ordinary classmates."

Oh my god, it's a good thing my grandpa isn't here.

Wu Weiwei squinted at Brother Chen, always feeling that this clarification was a bit urgent, as if he was afraid of being misunderstood.

Chen Ling was afraid that he would reveal his secrets if he was asked further, so he hurriedly said: "Grandpa and grandma, we are here on behalf of the students in the class. If it is convenient, please show me the way."

"You walk along the path of the activity center, pass a water tower, and the one ahead is their home." The old man who spoke thought for a while, and added, "Their home is No. 303, Unit [-]."

Thanks to the old man, the two quickly found the white water tower by relying on the description.

The fruit basket was a bit heavy, Chen Ling carried it with another hand, and unconsciously quickened his pace.As soon as you enter the corridor, you will be greeted by the shady air, the coolness unique to the old house, so comfortable that you want to sigh.

Chen Ling took out a tissue and handed one to Wu Weiwei: "Wipe off your sweat."

Wu Weiwei moved casually. After wiping, he put the tissue into his pocket, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chen, what if this is not caused by a dead ghost, what should we do?"

"Catch ghosts." Chen Ling said, "But I have to go back and get some guys on the way."

In case of encountering a powerful character, the two talismans kicked in his pocket are not enough to tickle the evil spirits.

Wu Weiwei always felt that Chen Ling was a little different from before. At the beginning, he was not keen on exorcising evil spirits. Even Ding Junyuan's order was only because Mr. Zhao mentioned the big hole in Yuheshan's money. one.

Judging from Chen Ling's performance today, it's obvious that he didn't come here for money.

What is that for?

Asked if he didn't understand, Wu Weiwei said, "Brother Chen, why did you come here today?"

Chen Ling never thought about this question, and acted completely according to the wishes in his heart.

Now that Wu Weiwei asked, he pondered for a moment, with a serious expression on his face: "Probably he was touched by Mr. Tang's incident. If we can find out the evil spirits earlier and stop them before they commit murder, many things will be solved." become different."
