Urban Night Returner

As soon as Zhong Lecen entered the ward, he went straight to Wu Shi who was sitting in the chair.Wu Shi had been sitting there with a cane in his hand. Zheng Li's sudden onset made him look a little older than two or three hours ago.Wu Ying advised him to go back to rest, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, but he just shook his head.

"What else do you need?" Wu Ying now extremely distrusts Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen. If it wasn't for Xiao Heizi, or if Xiao Heizi wasn't from the Wu family, she would have issued an order to evict him.

Zhong Lecen ignored her, stared at Wu Shi and asked, "Uncle Wu, how did Zheng Li's father die back then? You were his boss at the time and directly directed that operation. What responsibility do you take for his death?"

"What!" Wu Ying stood up angrily, no longer caring about Xiao Heizi who was beside him, "What qualifications do you have to say such things? Get out! Otherwise, I'll be called a security guard!"

Shen Gu waved his hand: "Ms. Wu, please keep quiet. This matter is very important. If you want to save your brother and child, please answer our questions."

"You--" Although Wu Ying was overwhelmed by the solid aura, she also had a father who was a soldier. Answer your questions!"

Zhong Lecen didn't bother with her too much, and stared at Wu Shi and asked another question: "Did you make a mistake in your command back then, which led to the sacrifice of Zheng Li's father?"

"You, you--" Wu Ying was trembling with anger, but Wu Shi suddenly raised his hand to stop her, looked at Zhong Lecen and said slowly: "Why do you ask such a question?"

"Because this is the only way to explain Zheng Li's hatred towards you and the Wu family."

Wu Ying was stunned for a long time before yelling: "What are you talking about? You are talking nonsense! How could my little brother hate our family? Don't turn over that plate..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhong Lecen had already taken out the plate and handed it to Wu Shi: "I guess, since your eldest son's accident, you haven't looked at your collection again, right? Then you can take a look now." , what's the difference between this plate and the original?"

Wu Shi squinted his eyes for a while, and his face changed a little: "This red color seems to have faded in several places..." Although it is not obvious, it is his collection, and he looks at it every day. I can tell.

"Then can you see the fading in a few places?"

Wu Shi looked at it for a while, his voice trembling: "...five places..."

"What?" Wu Ying was also stunned, "Dad, did you read it right?" She usually didn't pay attention to this thing, and she couldn't see any changes when she looked at it under the light.

Wu Shi waved his hand to signal his daughter not to speak, then turned to Zhong Lecen and asked, "Young man, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Zhong Lecen said solemnly: "Five people in your family suddenly developed heart problems, and there are five red spots on this plate that have faded. Do you think this is a coincidence?"

Wu Shi's lips trembled slightly: "You said, this is Xiaoli—but he is also sick now!" Originally, when the eldest son died, he was just sad, but when the second son entered the hospital, he wondered if there was any family medical history , but after his grandson was admitted to the hospital because of a heart attack, he could no longer say it was a coincidence.Now that Zhong Lecen raised this question, he couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it.There are five heart attacks in the family, and two of them are not related by blood. No matter what probability you say, no one will believe it, right?

"This is another matter. Zheng Li's illness may have been taken advantage of by others. His expression at the time was quite surprised, which shows that he did not expect that he would also have an illness. However, the curse of this plate on the Wu family was indeed caused by Zheng Li's illness. But as far as we know, you have been kind to Zheng Li and treated him like your own son. Zheng Li really shouldn’t have any hatred. So I want to ask you, is it true that Zheng Li’s father died? By your fault?"

Wu Shi lowered his head and rested his chin on the head of the cane, as if he was extremely tired.Wu Ying was a little anxious: "Dad, what's going on? Really, it's really because--this is impossible!"

Wu Shi shook his head slowly: "Xiaoying, you go out first, let me talk to these two alone."

"Dad!" Wu Ying wanted to object, but under Wu Shi's suddenly stern gaze, he still reluctantly withdrew. Before leaving, he gave Zhong Lecen and Shen Gu a hard look.Wu Shi looked at his second son who had his eyes closed tightly on the bed and was connected to a bunch of medical equipment. After a long silence, he finally said slowly: "I never told anyone about this, including my boss at the time. "

Shen Gu keenly grasped something: "You mean, there was something else behind Zheng Li's father's sacrifice at that time?"

Wu Shi was silent again.Shen Gu thought about it, and finally asked: "It can't be, Zheng Li's father didn't sacrifice himself, did he?"

Wu Shi looked up at him and smiled awkwardly: "Yes. Young man, you are very sharp."

This time it was Zhong Lecen's turn to be a little confused: "What do you mean?"

Wu Shi smiled wryly: "It was an undercover mission inside the drug dealer. Actually, I was supposed to go there, but because I had met a drug dealer before, I proposed to change someone. Xiao Li's father took the initiative Asked to be an undercover agent, and because I was familiar with the situation, let me directly direct the operation... But none of us thought that Xiaoli's father--was also involved in drug trafficking."

Zhong Lecen blurted out: "Could it be that he belongs to a drug dealer?"

Wu Shi shook his head: "It's not that serious. Xiao Zheng is still a police officer. It's just that some of the ecstasy pills he seized from some traffickers before were not handed in, but resold."

Zhong Lecen and Shen Gu looked at each other.Wu Shi smiled wryly and said: "The economic situation of Zheng's family is very bad. Xiao Zheng's father died of cancer. He was not rescued. He spent a lot of money and was still in debt. Xiao Zheng's wife--often because of money problems Arguing with him, plus having a child, there are too many places to spend money. Xiao Zheng is just an ordinary policeman, and his salary is not high. It is really difficult to pay off debts and raise children... You know, although soft drugs do not have heroin or anything like that Such a huge profit, but it is also very profitable, especially since it was confiscated and there is no cost."

Shen Gu was silent for a moment, and asked: "Is the fact that he sold ecstasy privately known?"

Wu Shi nodded: "Actually, for that operation, we did not plan well. The drug traffickers first grasped our movements, and some people threatened Xiao Zheng with this. Why did Xiao Zheng apply for this task? In fact, he was afraid of sending If anyone else went, it would be death. But in the end, we got in, and Xiao Zheng...no one knew about it at the time, and the bureau recognized him as a martyr."

"Then how do you know?"

"I also happened to find his suicide note when I was sorting out his belongings. I shouldn't have sorted out these things, but when his wife heard that he died, she immediately returned to her natal home, and the children didn't care about it, so the little boy Zheng's relics are all organized by me."

"So in order to leave a good reputation for your friend, you concealed this matter, right? So Zheng Lihui thinks that his father died because you made a mistake in command, right?"

Wu Shi nodded heavily: "If we have to say that we must pursue responsibility, I am actually responsible. At that time, I did make mistakes, and I cannot shirk my responsibility."

Zhong Lecen sighed: "However, Zheng Li obviously put the responsibility for this matter entirely on you, so all these years, he is not grateful for your support, but feels that the reason why he lost his parents and has to live with others is because Your command made a mistake back then."

Wu Shi also let out a long sigh, and lowered his head again: "I didn't expect that Xiao Li would think so. I didn't expect that now, I was the one who harmed the children. But Xiao Li, how could he be sick? Who lied to me?" Him? Who taught him this harmful method? "

Zhong Lecen hesitated for a moment: "It will take a long time to talk about this matter, and you may not understand it. The important thing now is that if things continue like this, at least four people in the Wu family will have accidents."

Wu Shi took a look at the plate at hand, and smiled wryly: "Nine peach plate... When Xiao Li sent it, I said, I am this old peach tree, and they are the peaches on this tree. It is an auspicious number in my mind, and peaches also have auspicious connotations, unexpectedly..."

"Huh?" Zhong Lecen looked up at him suddenly, "What did you say? Are you a tree? Are they peaches?"

Wu Shi was immersed in sadness and nodded casually.But Shen Gu saw some clues from Zhong Lecen's expression, and asked in a low voice, "Did you think of something?"

Zhong Lecen frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "I guess Zuo Mu's target should be Uncle Wu. Originally, I thought he might want to combine all the fates of the Wu family to create a four-column full yin, but looking at it now Come on, his purpose should be to create a fierce ghost with obsession. As for the four pillars of Yin, it is just by the way. If so, Zheng Li should be the last person to die, because it is his hatred that caused this curse. I am now I kind of understand why these porcelains can still exist without fetal bones. This is real ghost porcelain, and what supports it is not the earthen body but obsession. The one in Bingbing’s family is Bingbing’s father’s wish, and this is Zheng Li’s hatred. If you let If this curse succeeds, Uncle Wu will have stronger hatred or resentment because of the death of his family. And if the dead know that this incident was caused by Uncle Wu, or feel that Zheng Lien will avenge their revenge, then their resentment will be Because the curse and blood relationship are all concentrated on Uncle Wu, which deepens his obsession. I have never read this kind of curse in the book-let's call it 'nine ghosts'. Let me tell you After all, the so-called ghosts are nothing more than obsessions after death. The heavier the obsession, the stronger the power of the ghost. The betrayal of a child who is regarded as his own, and the death of the whole family are already quite serious. It is impossible for anyone to be without resentment. What Zuo Mu wants is this kind of obsession. He wants a ghost with the ability to swim between Yin and Yang."

Shen Gu was a little startled when he heard it: "A ghost?"

Zhong Lecen nodded: "Uncle Wu is a person who has been on the battlefield, so he is different from ordinary people. It's like talking about you, if you--well, let's not talk about it, it's unlucky."

"But can ghosts swim between Yin and Yang?"

"If your loved one dies, do you want to get him back?"

Shen Gu was speechless for a long time, and after a while he said: "If you tell me according to what you told me, people will go where they should go."

"But they shouldn't have died."

Shen Gu let out a long sigh: "Now that you have thought of the reason, can you come up with a solution?"

Wu Shi has been looking at the plate in a daze, until he heard the word "crack" before he raised his head: "Is there a way?"

Zhong Lecen hesitated for a while before saying: "I have two ideas now. The first is that Zheng Li must die immediately. As long as he dies, the curse will be interrupted. I can't guarantee people who have already fallen ill, but those who have not yet People will be safe."

Wu Shi was startled: "Why, Xiao Li—is there any other way?"

"There is another way. Zheng Li is unconscious now. I don't think it's because of a heart attack, but because his soul has been separated. He is not from the Wu family, so I think his role is only driven by resentment." This curse, so his soul was not taken away by Zuo Mu, but wandered around his body, just like the old people said before. My idea is to call his soul back by calling the soul. You and He talked about that if Zheng Liken gave up his revenge, then the curse would stop naturally. It is said that this method is the best, because the curse can completely disappear instead of being forcibly interrupted, and the sick person will also recover. But- -If you can't convince Zheng Li that he won't give up his revenge, then--the curse will continue."

Wu Shi was completely stunned: "Soul calling? You--" It was a curse just now, but now it is calling souls. He seemed to have vaguely heard something like a ghost, "Who are you?"

Shen Gu pondered for a while: "I'm afraid I can't explain it to you. I belong to the Special Affairs Section, and you may not have heard of this name. We, in simple terms, are the kind of people who deal with all kinds of unreasonable things. "

Wu Shi was stunned for a while, with an unbelievable expression: "For example, what kind of curse is this?"

Shen Gu nodded.

"Also, ghosts? Are there really ghosts in this world?"

"Yes." This time it was Zhong Lecen who answered, "It's just that people without yin and yang eyes can't see it. Of course, some people with a particularly developed sixth sense can also feel it, but it's more vague and elusive."

Wu Shi's expression became blank.After all, he has been in the army for [-] years, and it is really hard for him to believe that there are ghosts in this world.But now that the facts were before his eyes, he couldn't help but not believe it.He looked at Zhong Lecen and Shen Gu for a while, then lowered his head and looked at the plate in his hand: "... When Xiao Li was a child, he was more obedient than ordinary children, he could do whatever he was asked to do, even more obedient than Xiao Ying... the two at home A wild boy bullied him, but he didn't tell me about it, but the neighbors saw it and told me, so I came back and beat up those two boys..." His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of breaking something.

Zhong Lecen and Shen Gu listened quietly, no one could bear to interrupt him, no one could make a decision for him.After a long time, Wu Shi raised his head: "If, if I can't convince Xiao Li--what ghosts did I hear from you just now?"

Zhong Lecen hesitated for a moment, but said frankly: "Yes. Because of your strong resentment and obsession, you may become - that..."

"If I don't persuade Xiao Li to go back, and I die, will this curse continue?"

"This..." Zhong Lecen was stunned for a moment, "I really never thought of this. If, if the person who made this plate was only for his own benefit, then maybe, you -- after that, there is no need for the curse to exist."

Wu Shi let out a long breath, and stood up holding his crutches: "That's it, I'll talk to Xiao Li. If, if I fail to persuade Xiao Li to go back, can you do me a favor... don't let Me, become a ghost?"

Zhong Lecen took a look at Shen Gu, and said seriously: "Because of your heart, if you don't have resentment and obsession in your heart, you won't turn into a ghost."

Wu Shi was stunned for a few seconds, and smiled a little: "Resentment? In my life, I really have nothing to resent. During the Cultural Revolution, my family criticized me like that, so I still met such a good person as Lao Wu? Well, if that's the case, then I'm relieved. Young people, call out Xiao Li's soul."
