Grocery Store No.514

"Pa", the loud slap successfully blinded Jiang Chengyan, he looked at Ling Hua'an in disbelief, hoping he would give him an explanation, but after waiting for a long time, he remembered that Ling Hua'an was blind.

"Why did you hit me?"

"Why did you lie to me?"

"I lied to you?" Jiang Chengyan was even more confused now, and said dumbfoundingly: "When did I lie to you?"

Ling Huaan fumbled to pick up the fifty-dollar note, and said with a blank expression, "Is this ten yuan?"

Jiang Chengyan was startled, feeling somewhat guilty for some reason, and quickly explained: "Even if it wasn't ten yuan, I definitely didn't miss you."

"How much?" Ling Huaan held up the note.

Jiang Chengyan said hesitantly, "Fifty."

"Isn't this a lie?"

Looking at Ling Huaan's special eyes, Jiang Chengyan felt inexplicably oppressed, he said at a loss: "I'm not trying to lie to you, I'm just..."

"Sympathy? Poor?" Ling Hua'an said coldly, "I don't need it."

"I didn't mean that, I just wanted to help you, don't get me wrong." Jiang Chengyan explained anxiously.

"How much extra did you give me in total? Go back and figure it out. Come over tomorrow and I'll pay you back." Ling Huaan took out 45 yuan from the cash register, put the box of instant noodles on the table, and said, "You can pay now." gone."

Looking at Ling Huaan, Jiang Chengyan picked up the money and instant noodles, turned around and left, walked out of the store, looked back, just in time to see Ling Huaan also looking out the window, his heart tightened, just about to turn around, then remembered that Ling Huaan was blind, He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, touched the face that was hurt by the beating, and muttered in a low voice: "It's obvious that I did a good deed, but in the end, not only was I beaten, but I also had to apologize to others. There's no reason for this."

Wang Lei whispered in Ling Huaan's ear, "Boss, that ghost has been shot down."

Ling Huaan nodded, closed the drawer, and looked straight at the headless ghost floating opposite.

Suddenly, the bell in the store rang quickly, the lights that were normal just now flickered, and a gust of wind blew by, blowing the things on the cash register to the ground.

A hoarse voice sounded, seeming to be far away: "Who are you, why do you spoil my good things?"

"You are a resentful ghost. You have just taken shape. Once you do something harmful, you will not be able to reincarnate. I am helping you."

"I died so badly, I must take revenge, otherwise I will die with regret!" A dark wind rose in the store, and things on the shelves fell one after another.

"Revenge? Do you know who the enemy is? Do you know how you died?" Ling Hua'an said lightly.

The Yin wind suddenly stopped, and the voice sounded again: "How did I die, who is the enemy...why can't I remember?"

"Because you died in vain, your memory before death is unclear, and you have resentment in your heart, so you cannot reincarnate."

"Then what should I do? And why do you know this? Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I can help you."

"Can you help me, how can you help me?"

"I can help you find out the truth of the death, dispel the grievances in your heart, and help you reincarnate." Ling Huaan paused for a while, and then said: "But I have conditions."

"As long as you can help me find out the truth, I will agree to any conditions!"

"I want one-fifth of all your property. If you agree, just put your fingerprint on this piece of paper."

Ling Huaan took out a box of ink pads from his pocket, and took out a piece of yellow paper from the drawer under the cashier counter, on which were neatly written a few lines of brush calligraphy. Calligraphers write poorly.

The grieving ghost, who was still vicious just now, saw the words on it, and instantly became a fan, exclaiming, "Who wrote this word? It's so beautiful! Is it for sale? Do you want to hold a calligraphy and painting exhibition? I can provide the venue for free."

Wang Lei was stunned by the transformation of the headless ghost, and whispered: "Boss, is there anything wrong with this person?"

"I don't sell it, and I don't want to hold a calligraphy and painting exhibition. If you agree, just put your fingerprint on it."

"You wrote this word? How old are you? Which sect do you come from?" The headless ghost was still chattering excitedly.

Ling Huaan frowned slightly, and looked at the headless ghost silently, obviously a little impatient.

The headless ghost suddenly felt an invisible sense of oppression rushing over his face, and he said shyly, "I'm already a ghost, can I still press my fingerprints?"

"This ink pad is special, if you agree, press it."

The headless ghost hesitated for a while, stretched out his fingers and pressed on the ink pad, but when he was about to print on the paper, Ling Huaan stopped him.He looked at Ling Hua'an puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You don't need to press it anymore, your fingerprints are gone, you can sign after you remember who you are."

The headless ghost froze for a moment, raised his hand to look, but forgot that he has no head now.

"Okay, don't look at it, it's not easy for you to talk to me in your current situation. Do you still remember who you are and where you live?"

The headless ghost said blankly: "Who am I? Who am I..."

Seeing the gloomy wind rising again, Ling Huaan quickly interrupted, saying: "Okay, it's normal that you don't remember, so don't think about it anymore. Just tell me, you just need to remember what you remember."

The headless ghost was silent for a while, and said: "I only remember that I was painting in the studio. There were a lot of oil paints in the studio. I think my work should be related to oil painting."

"Before you said that you can provide the venue for free, which shows that you have the ability to hold calligraphy and painting exhibitions. In addition, your work is related to oil painting. It can be inferred that you are very likely to be a well-known painter. If you think about it carefully, what do you remember? , don’t hide any clues.”

There was another silence, and the headless ghost thought for a long time before he said: "There is also a little boy, about five or six years old, I call him Hanhan. I can't remember anything else."

"Okay, I see." Ling Hua'an took out a small copper bell, with dense red ancient characters written on it, "You stay in this bell temporarily until your business is over."

After Ling Hua'an finished speaking, he recited the spell silently, not waiting for the headless ghost to come back to his senses, when he suddenly felt a strong suction force, and in the blink of an eye, he was in a small space.

The headless ghost was taken aback, and it took a while to come back to his senses, "Master, god, who are you?"

"I'm Ling Hua'an, the owner of the grocery store."

On October 3020, 10, at the office of the criminal investigation team, Jiang Chengyan came to the office early in the morning, called a meeting and arranged for the next investigation task.

"Captain, why are you still wearing a mask in the office?" Yao Min asked strangely.

Jiang Chengyan touched his face. Ling Huaan's slap yesterday was really hard work. His face is still swollen, and he was wearing a mask to cover it up. Will break the casserole and ask the end.

"I have a cold, and I don't want to infect you." Jiang Chengyan replied perfunctorily, and then changed the subject: "Now let's sort out the case and arrange the next tasks."

Everyone quieted down, took out their notebooks, and looked at Jiang Chengyan.

Jiang Chengyan looked at Yao Min and asked, "Did that drunk man take notes last night?"

Yao Min nodded and said, "The person who found the body is named Luo Da. He is 45 years old and divorced. He has a son who lives with him. Because of work, he was in a bad mood. He drank in a small restaurant not far from the crime scene. , Drank until the restaurant closed at ten o’clock in the evening. Because I was drunk, my feet were unsteady, I knocked over the trash can, and found the body inside. Due to time constraints, I haven’t had time to implement it.”

"Besides these, did he provide any useful clues?"

Yao Min thought for a while and said, "Oh, by the way, he also said that there were two other people at the crime scene, standing at the entrance of the alley not far away, a man and a woman. Before he arrived at the crime scene, that The two were already there."

"At the entrance of the alley? There just happened to be a surveillance camera there. If it was the murderer, he would definitely not be standing there. But since the two of you appeared at the scene of the crime earlier than Luo Da, you might have seen something. Li Tong, Zhang Liang, you two Responsible for calling the surveillance at the entrance of the alley to find these two people."

Zhang Liang and Li Tong looked at each other, stood up one after another and said, "Yes, captain, let's go right away."

"In addition to the surveillance there, I'm looking around. It's a T-junction. The surveillance cameras at the three intersections have to be called. Let's call it 48 hours before the incident."

"Yes, captain." Zhang Liang and Li Tong walked out of the office one after another.

"At present, we have not found the head of the deceased. In addition, his fingerprints have been destroyed. It is difficult to determine the identity. Now we can only start from the most recent missing persons. Yao Min, Liu Ran, this task is entrusted to you."

"Yes, captain, let's go right away." Yao Min and Liu Ran also got up one after another and left the office.

Jiang Chengyan closed his notebook, looked at Wang Bin, and said, "Wang Bin, you, me, and others cooperate with the police to continue searching for the head of the deceased around the crime scene, and the range is set within a radius of ten kilometers."

"Yes, Captain."

"Okay, the meeting is over."

Jiang Chengyan got up and walked out of the office, Wang Bin hurriedly followed, "Captain, where are we going?"

"Go to the forensic department first to see the autopsy."

The two came to Su Ke's office and found no one inside. When they came out, they happened to meet the assistant forensic doctor Hu Yang.

"Hu Yang, where's Su Ke?"

"Su Ke is still in the anatomy room."

"Still in the dissecting room, did he not go back all night?" Jiang Chengyan frowned slightly.

"Yes, Su Ke has been in the autopsy room since last night." Hu Yang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Team Jiang, you can persuade Su Ke. In addition to the case of the second team, he has not rested for two days. Even if it goes on like this, your body won't be able to hold it."

"Okay, go get busy, I'll go and have a look."

Jiang Chengyan turned and walked towards the dissecting room, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Su Ke, why didn't you go back to rest yesterday?"

"Murder case, and the corpse is dismembered. I can save a lot of trouble by dissecting the corpse as soon as possible." Su Ke closed her eyes tiredly, and raised her hand to wipe the sweat with her sleeve.

"Don't move." Jiang Chengyan took out a tissue to help him wipe, and said with concern: "Look at your appearance, the whole body is crumbling. If you fall down, what will happen to the case?"

"I'm a big man, I'm not as weak as you said. But you, why are you so particular today, and even wear a mask?"
