Raise me, I'm super sweet

==============================

Gu Huai and Dongfangzi Fusangzi were on a mission five kilometers away. After receiving a call from Du Heng, he said that if he went to pick him up, he would be willing to come.

This task naturally fell on Du Heng. Qi Fanchen handed him the car keys with ease, watched him go to the door and turned back, calling Lao Liu: "How do you get out? I forgot the way."

The old man called him: "Old Liu, go and show the way."

Old Liu took Du Heng out, and the old man looked nervously at the remaining Qi Fanchen and Cang Luan, and asked, "Will something happen tonight?"

"There will be no accidents." Qi Fanchen looked at the news sent to him by his mobile phone, and found that the four drowned celebrities really caused an uproar. After the autopsy, it was found that they were drowned, and the surveillance of the swimming pool at that time showed that the four of them were submerged in the water. It didn't take long for it to sink.

But at the same time, the skin ulceration on the deceased's body also aroused suspicion. After inspection of the clothes, it was found that there was nothing wrong with it. The water in the swimming pool was also normal after inspection, and the case fell into a stalemate.

On the surface, nothing was found out about this matter, but behind the scenes, those artists who accepted the shark must have raised their vigilance, and such a situation should not happen again in a short time.

"The monitoring has been changed." The old man saw that the two were contemplating, and asked, "Are we staying here all night?"

"It's good that we are here." Qi Fanchen finally raised his head and said, "If there is any problem, we will call you up."

"To be honest, I can't sleep now." The old man was a little worried, "I can throw away everything in my collection, but the bone carving can't be thrown away. Anyway, it's something to commemorate my wife. It has a different meaning to me."

"When did your wife die?" Cang Luan asked.

"It was ten years ago. It was the epidemic. After she was infected, she was afraid of infecting us, so she never went home. I didn't even see her for the last time." The old man sighed and said, "She liked it very much when she was alive. All kinds of birds, the first time I saw this stone sculpture, I thought of her, no matter how much it costs, I will buy it.”

"Did the auction introduce what kind of animal bone it was?" Qi Fanchen asked.

"I forgot about that." The old man rubbed his head and said, "Aren't the general bone carvings made of cow bones? I only have such a bone carving in my collection, so I don't know much about it."

After a moment of silence, Cang Luan asked him as if chatting about family affairs, "Why didn't you call the child over to accompany you?"

"They are busy." The old man looked a little lonely, "Besides, if the child sees Doudou like this, it's my fault that I didn't take care of it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dog barking echoed in the empty room.

"It's Doudou calling." The old man called Aunt Lin, "Are you hungry?"

Aunt Lin came out of the kitchen and said strangely: "I just added feed to it an hour ago, why is it hungry again?"

"Go and have a look." Cang Luan got up.

The four of them walked to the pet room, and saw Doudou frantically clutching the iron cage, yelling in the direction outside the door.

"It was the same last night." Aunt Lin walked over, knelt down and said, "It has been barking all night, I don't know what's going on."

"Where can I watch the surveillance in the collection room?" Qi Fanchen asked back.

"I can watch it on my mobile phone." The old man took out his mobile phone and fiddled with it for a long time, "I can't do it..."

"Let me do it." Qi Fanchen took it and called up the monitoring screen for him. The angle of the monitoring seemed to have been specially adjusted. It was facing the cabinet where the bone carvings were placed. The screen seemed to be still, without any trace. movement.

"Animals can see things that humans can't." Qi Fanchen thought of Si Changye's dog, and said, "It's very likely that something came in."

When he said this, Aunt Lin and the old man turned pale with fright.

"Is it a ghost?" Aunt Lin was very frightened, "Could it be that Madam is back?"

"The cemetery is more than ten kilometers away from here, how could it be her?" The old man was a little calmer than her.

"It will take at least half an hour for Du Heng to go back and forth." Qi Fanchen said, "We can only wait for them to come back."

Du Heng came back after 10 minutes, and Gu Huai wowed as soon as he entered the door: "This place is so beautiful."

"Baby." Cang Luan called him, "What are you doing with your senior brother?"

"There is an artificial lake near here. A lot of strange turtles suddenly appeared in the lake a few days ago. They would come ashore to bite people, so let them go and have a look." Du Heng helped explain.

"That's not a tortoise." Gu Huai hurriedly said, "They are very small, as big as my hand, and their tails are very long, like a snake!"

He raised his hand, Qi Fanchen looked at it, his palm was not half the size of his own.

He reached out and gave Gu Huai a high-five, and asked, "Is there such a small turtle?"

"That's called Xuangui." Du Heng said, "It's a monster."

"What will happen if you get bitten by them?" Cang Luan asked curiously.

"It can be poisoning, or it can be fatal." Du Heng said, frowning, "What a good day these days are, seeing these things frequently."

"Brother Fusangzi said that those tortoises came from the sea, and because they were too small, no one noticed them." Gu Huai said.

"It's swimming here again." Du Heng thought of something, and looked at Cang Luan with a smile, "Could it be that they also have their eyes on someone?"

Cang Luan just lowered his head and smiled, but didn't speak.

Qi Fanchen stared at Cang Luan's side face for a while, and the old man next to him was finally able to intervene. He looked at the child brought back by Du Heng suspiciously, and asked, "Now go to the collection room to see?"

"I seem to hear a dog barking." Gu Huai said when Du Heng led him away.

"You heard wrong baby." Cang Luan said, "There are no dogs here."

Gu Huai walked up the stairs and said, "But I seem to have heard it."

"If you don't listen, don't listen, bastard chant the scriptures." Du Heng covered his ears.

Qi Fanchen walked last, watching the two teasing the child, felt like laughing.

The door of the storage room opened, Gu Huai just took a look and said, "There's nothing here."

Cang Luan, who was the first to enter, made a stop motion: "Wait a minute, there is a voice."

Everyone stopped, and sure enough, they heard a buzzing sound in the room, coming from the wooden cabinet.

"What's ringing..." The old man's legs felt weak when he heard the sound.

Qi Fanchen quietly walked behind Cang Luan, and found that the cabinet was shaking slightly.He called out to the old man: "I need your fingerprints, open the cabinet."

The old man moved over slowly.Cang Luan reached out to grab Qi Fanchen and led him back a little, watching the old man's trembling fingers press up.

The cupboard door opened, and the sound became harsher in an instant. Qi Fanchen passed over Cang Luan's shoulder, and saw the bone carvings of birds and phoenixes placed inside were floating and shaking at a high frequency!

"It's scary." Du Heng picked up Gu Huai and asked, "Is there no ghost here?"

"No." Gu Huai whispered.

"What's wrong with it?" The old man took several steps back in fright, "Why is it moving?"

Cang Luan stepped forward and fully opened the door of the cabinet, only to see that the statue was emitting a faint red light, and when it vibrated, even the cabinet was shaking.

"It seems that I guessed right." Cang Luan said in a low voice, took out a small knife from his pocket, and swiped at his fingertips.

Qi Fanchen saw his action, and his heart tightened: "What are you doing?"

Cang Luan didn't speak, and wiped his scratched finger on the bone carving, and the bone carving seemed to be calmed down slowly.

Finally, the light fades away and returns to its original state.Only Cang Luan's blood was left on the top.

And the moment the bone carving became quiet, the dog barking that had been coming from downstairs also suddenly disappeared.

"It can sense me." Cang Luan turned to Qi Fanchen and said.

Qi Fanchen frowned, but he was thinking of another matter.

"This...is it all right?" The old man looked at the stone carving in surprise, and asked, "It won't move anymore, will it?"

"Not for the time being." Cang Luan said, "I just don't know how long it will last."

"Why does it move?" Du Heng wondered, "There are no ghosts here."

Cang Luan didn't say anything, but said to the old man: "It's better not to keep this thing at home, lest something will happen later, it's not a good thing."

"But……"

The old man wanted to say more, but Qi Fanchen interrupted him: "We have other tasks soon, so we can't be around all the time. Your pet biting is a reminder that this thing is going to hurt you."

"Okay, okay." The old man nodded quickly, "I'll find someone to sell it right away."

"There's my blood on it, I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell." Cangluan took one last look at the bone carving, and closed the cabinet door, "You can deal with it."

After coming out of the collection room, Qi Fanchen and Du Heng went to the pet room to take a look, and found that Teddy, who had been agitated all the time, had also calmed down and returned to his previous docile appearance.

"It should be fine." Du Heng said.

The old man originally wanted to stay with them for one night, but Qi Fanchen refused.The old man had no choice but to ask the housekeeper to take them out from here.

After turning the corner from the residential area, Qi Fanchen located the nearest hotel, and then said: "It's made of shark bones."

Du Heng glanced at Gu Huai, and asked: "Is this because there are sharks behind the scenes?"

"Probably not." Cang Luan pondered.

Qi Fanchen turned his head to look at Cang Luan, and asked, "If you didn't stop that bone carving, what would have happened?"

"I don't know." Cang Luan guessed, "But I guess something bad might happen."

"Shark silk and bone carving, it looks like someone cast a curse on them." Du Heng clicked his tongue twice.

"But people who have been in contact with it say that there was no problem with this thing for a long time before. If it is a curse, it should be a curse that was cast recently." Qi Fanchen said, "However, Director Zhao said that his scarf was yesterday. I just received it at night, and the old man said that it has been stored in his house for seven or eight years, and no outsider has visited the house."

"So it shouldn't be a curse." Cang Luan echoed.

"What is that?" Du Heng couldn't figure it out, "Could it be that you mermaid things are not allowed to be touched by human beings, and something will happen if you touch them?"

"There is no such theory." Cangluan turned around and said, "Instead, it is beneficial for human beings to touch the things of the mermaids."

Gu Huai was confused and asked in a low voice, "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"It's normal for children not to understand what adults are talking about." Du Heng comforted me perfunctorily.

"Oh." Gu Huai pouted.

It was almost ten o'clock, and there were not many hotels nearby, so a few people found one at random and checked in.

"I want two double rooms." Seeing that Qi Fanchen hesitated, Du Heng took the initiative to say, "I share with the child, and you share."

Cang Luan didn't have an ID card, so he went upstairs and waited. Seeing that Qi Fanchen only had a room card in his hand, he smiled, "Shall we go together?"

"En." Qi Fanchen opened the door, inserted the room card into the slot, and the room instantly lit up.

"I think it is necessary to overthrow the previous speculation." Qi Fanchen closed the door behind his back and said, "We have always suspected that there are sharks behind these things, but the bone carvings obviously have nothing to do with them."

"Du Heng said something right." Cang Luan said seriously, "It seems that things related to us mermaids are not very good."

Qi Fanchen pulled out the map on his mobile phone and showed it to him in front of him: "We have indeed been walking westward, from Jiting Lake, to the school, then to the hospital, and then to the Earl's Mansion."

Cangluan stretched out his finger, and tapped a blue circle with his fingertips: "Jiting Lake is the beginning of everything, including Ji Ji, who also goes upstream from here, and the swirling turtle they just mentioned, if you want to go from the ocean To come here, we have to pass through this lake.”

"If it wasn't manipulated by someone, I have an inappropriate guess." Qi Fanchen hesitated.

Cang Luan looked at him and said nothing.

"I asked Fu Sangzi before whether the human soul can be parasitized by other things, do you remember how he answered me?" Qi Fanchen lowered his voice.

"He said that other people can't take the soul, but it should be possible if you donate it on your own initiative." Cangluan recalled.

"That's right." Qi Fanchen said in a low voice, "I think that in Uncle Fifth's basement, all the dead may be mermaids."

Cang Luan's eyes froze: "What did you say?"

Qi Fanchen called out the memo and started drawing on the blank screen.

Cang Luan didn't know what he was painting, so he looked down for a while.He first drew a small house with the triangle as the roof, and then drew a sun in the middle of the triangle.Finally, he drew a square at the bottom and added two vertical lines inside.

"This is a painting on the wall in the basement." Cang Luan recognized it.

"That's right." Qi Fanchen nodded, and handed him the phone, "Feng Changsheng said that Uncle Wu had a son, maybe his son drew it, so we didn't take it seriously. But look at it now, doesn't it look familiar to you?" ?”

Cangluan expressed his thoughts: "Red Sun."

"Yes. When we arrived at the orphanage, there was indeed a sun on the top." Qi Fanchen pointed to the horizontal "目" character, "Does this look like that iron cage?"

"So the ones in the basement are the sharks transferred from the orphanage." Cangluan said with certainty.

"Feng Changsheng said that Uncle Wu came back from a sea trip and brought back many children and locked them in the basement." Qi Fanchen said, "Master said that the sharks locked in the cage told him that a group of businessmen locked them there. These businessmen are likely to be Uncle Wu."

"So he would rather use a house to seal it." Cang Luan frowned, "What did he want to do by bringing those children here?"

"Let's not talk about this for now." Qi Fanchen continued, "At that time, Fu Sangzi said that more than 100 people were buried in the cemetery, but only half of their souls were buried. On the souls of these dead."

"The mermaids don't have souls after death, so how can they parasitize?" Cang Luan was puzzled.

"It's resentment." Qi Fanchen looked at him and said, "The resentment is too deep, and it won't die."

Cang Luan suddenly understood.

"So it was the shark who told me to run away on the floor-to-ceiling window." He said softly.

"That's right." Qi Fanchen said, "They are not hostile to us because they can sense you."

"They killed the few neighbors who would not save them." Cang Luan said, "so the souls dissipated."

"A child can see what a ghost looks like. Asking him later should be able to verify my next idea." Qi Fanchen suddenly held his hand and said, "I think those children brought to the basement by Uncle Wu, Some may have died in the orphanage, some are still alive. He brought them here to turn them into...commodities."

He held Cang Luan's hand tightly, and Cang Luan held him instead, giving him the courage to continue: "Feng Changsheng said that after Uncle Wu came back, people he didn't know often drove to his house. He thought it was a trafficker. In fact, it may be that the processed mermen are sent out for sale."

The medicines sold by the Taoist priests who appeared in Mufu Village and residential areas ten years ago, the crocodile silk on the bodies of the four stars, and the bone carvings that were auctioned are all commodities from the basement.

"I want to get the bones..." Cang Luan closed his eyes and said, "They made perfect use of the merman, and there is not even a bone left."

At this moment, Qi Fanchen reached out and hugged him gently: "So the dead are taking revenge, and they are slowly taking back what belongs to them."
