[Comprehensive] So you are such New York

Tired all day today, after tidying up the kitchen, Ji Jiu planned to go directly to the room to wash and sleep.Unexpectedly, before she went upstairs, Li Xiaolang walked down the stairs with his things.

Ji Jiu asked strangely: "Didn't you go to tidy up the room?"

"I have something for you." Li Xiaolang responded, and handed a long wooden box and a few books to her, "Uncle asked me to bring them."

"My father?"

Ji Jiu subconsciously took it, took the box and glanced at it twice, and a woody fragrance came over her face.

This wooden box is about a circle larger than a pen case, and it is very light, with delicate patterns engraved on the surface, which looks very old.

She thought it was quite pretty, and asked curiously, "What is it?"

"My uncle didn't say anything."

Li Xiaolang motioned her to look for herself, and Ji Jiu casually opened the wooden box - the box was covered with thick red cloth, only a hollow in the middle lay a bunch of copper plates strung together with red thread.

Ji Jiu: "???"

She frowned suspiciously, and looked at her cousin puzzledly: "He asked you to take this all the way?"

Li Xiaolang nodded solemnly: "It is said that the previous generation of psychics is getting old, so I will leave this to you." After a pause, he seemed to remember something, and asked, "Have you told them to guard Something about the spirit?"

"So, my dad thinks I might need this?" Ji Jiu took the copper plate out of the box, and looked carefully at the light.There are seven copper plates in total, each of which is connected to the red string in the middle, and probably can be removed separately.She couldn't tell what age it was, but it was well maintained and still shiny like new.

"How do I use this... Collect all seven Summoning Dragons?"

Li Xiaolang glanced at her immediately: "Look at what's written in the book."

Those books turned out to be the notes of the elders of the past dynasties.

Ji Jiu has also heard before that the head of each generation of the Ji family is often the most powerful psychic in that generation.

But that too was a long time ago, as far away as folktale to her.Now, because psychic mediums are no longer so common, and among them there are very few who can voluntarily inherit. Gradually, everyone no longer sticks to the identity of psychic mediums, and those who can become the head of the family are those without spiritual power.

Among the recent generations of patriarchs, only her grandpa's sister, her great-aunt, was the psychic of that generation.

Sure enough, there were notes from my aunt in these books.

Ji Jiu thought about it, and put away the copper plate strings and books first: "Thank you, little wolf, I'll trouble you to bring them all the way."

Li Xiaolang smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "It's nothing. Go to bed early."

"Yeah!" Ji Jiu happily agreed, and followed him upstairs, "Did my queen mother say something? When I told my father about the guardian spirit, I heard her laughing from behind! Wow, isn't this person too much?"

Li Xiaolang couldn't help laughing: "Auntie asked me to urge you to study, don't fail to graduate next year."

Ji Jiu: "..."

The queen mother is really too much!

Ji Jiu originally planned to go to bed early, but after taking the notes and the string of copper coins, he couldn't help it, and sat on the bed to study after taking a shower.

Speaking of research, the notes of the elders can be called novels, and she read them with great relish.

Some mentioned that the string of copper plates was once divided into seven parts, which were managed by seven psychics in the family; He didn't mention the copper coin, but talked about what he had seen and heard from his travels.

It was my aunt who mentioned an incident in her notes, which caught Ji Jiu's attention—because it was about her almost dying after hitting a ghost when she was a child.

Although she had remembered things at the time, it was a long time ago, and she was unconscious after the accident, so she never remembered who saved her in the end.

Unexpectedly, it was my aunt, and she still used this string of copper plates.

My aunt's records have always been very concise, and she only wrote a few sentences about the process of exorcising ghosts.But at the end of the page, she wrote this sentence as if she added it later.

"Zi is not suitable to enter this way."

Ji Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't tell what it felt like, as if her enthusiasm had been extinguished by cold water. She sat there for a while, then immediately closed her notebook and got under the covers.

This time, Ji Jiu fell asleep quickly.

When her consciousness sank into darkness, she seemed to hear someone talking in her ear.However, the body seemed to be submerged in water, sinking and floating, and the voice was far and near, and the only complete sentence could be distinguished was——

"Don't trust her, Xiaozi~"

After that, there was no dream all night, so that when Ji Jiu woke up the next day, he had completely forgotten the voice.

She went downstairs after washing up, and saw that Li Xiaolang had returned from his morning run, and Xiao Ying was preparing breakfast.

The two of them greeted her in unison to have dinner, but she was very embarrassed: "Why are you all so early, do you have any arrangements for today?"

"I want to go to the aquarium today." Sakura said excitedly, "Xiao Jiu also come together? Isn't it just a weekend?"

Li Xiaolang nodded in agreement.

Ji Jiu hesitated for a moment, then realized that he had never been there before, so he agreed.

The destination is the New York Aquarium.

Located on Coney Island in Brooklyn, it has a century-old history and is constantly visited by tourists throughout the year.Today coincides with Saturday, and many parents took their children to travel, and there was laughter everywhere.

As a light bulb, Ji Jiu followed coyote and Sakura very consciously, trying hard to minimize her presence, but couldn't bear Sakura's enthusiasm, and the two took countless photos together along the way. The little wolf became a photographer.

When they reached the Shark Hall, they were almost tired from walking, so they sat down to rest.

The Shark Hall is the largest exhibition hall that has passed through so far. It is two floors high, and the skylight is connected to the top. With the shaking of the water waves, the interior is also mottled with light and shadow, like a dream.

For a moment, Ji Jiu suddenly understood why so many couples like to come to the aquarium.

It's probably not feeding time, so the sharks all seem to be at ease, dangling in the water lazily wagging their tails.

Many people crowded in front of the tank to take photos with the shark. She found an excuse to leave the two alone, and walked slowly to the front.

"John, have you ever been to a place like this before?"

After a few seconds, a man's voice appeared behind him: "Maybe."

Although he used an uncertain tone, Ji Jiu felt that he should have been here.Otherwise, he will directly deny it?

She turned her head to look at him, and John bent his mouth innocently, with a smile in his eyes: "I thought you would like fish more."

Ji Jiu: "..."

She felt that she had been hurt ten thousand points.

... In the future, when looking for a boyfriend, you must never find someone like this! Remember it!

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Ji Jiu punched out angrily, and John raised his hand to block her fist with his palm: "Relax, Jiu."

Still laughing!Still laughing!

She became even angrier, and almost wanted to kick her feet, but John's eyes suddenly fixed on the sink.He hesitated for a moment, then grabbed her fist and pulled her closer to him——

Ji Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and before he could feel nervous, he saw the transparent figures in the sink slowly drifting towards them.

"..."

She almost didn't come up in one breath, and staggered a few times before standing still.

"How can there be so many ghosts in your country?"

Ji Jiu really couldn't figure it out, so he raised his head and looked behind him resentfully.John looked down into her eyes and smiled: "Who knows."

She had no choice but to move her gaze forward again, and the ghost also seemed very surprised, waving to them against the glass in surprise.The sharks also seemed to have noticed his actions, and turned sideways to face the outside of the tank, causing the scene to exclaim.

Ji Jiu subconsciously touched the string of copper coins that had just been hung on the bag, and took a few steps forward.

However, when he was approaching the glass of the sink, the other party's expression changed, and he waved his hands hastily: "It's too close, too close."

Ji Jiu had no choice but to stop, and the ghost immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile of enlightenment on his face: "You are the psychic, right? I've heard other ghosts say that it can't be wrong to have something like this on your body! "

His gaze fell on the string of copper coins, Ji Jiu understood it, nodded, and said softly, "Why are you in there?"

The other party rubbed his head and laughed: "Because I used to be the person in charge of the shark tank, and I died here." Ji Jiu was stunned, and he continued, "But it's still good to be able to play with these children. Very happy."

Ji Jiu said "Oh": "That's good, play slowly."

"Wait! Wait!" Seeing that she was about to leave, the ghost said anxiously, "I need your help, it's a small thing!"

Ji Jiu stopped and glanced at him: "It depends on whether I can do it or not."

The other party nodded hurriedly: "It's very simple! Because I'm trapped in the sink and can't get out, I hope you can write an anonymous letter for me."

"letter?"

"Yes." The man took a deep breath, and subconsciously slowed down his speech, "I died in this sink three years ago, everyone thought it was an accident, but it wasn't.

"I was knocked out and placed on the drawbridge above the sink. Although I was unconscious at the time, I knew it was Davis who did it. He wrapped the small door on the guardrail of the drawbridge with toilet paper and leaned my body against it. At the wicket, waiting for the toilet paper to melt from the drips from the pipe directly above, I fell into the sink under the bridge, and he happened to have an alibi.

"I know that the police suspected the possibility of homicide, but because everyone's alibi was strong, the matter was closed as an accident.

"I'm not reconciled. It's not just me. Jimmy, who ate my body at that time, had to be euthanized and then dissected. Davis then became the curator."

The man's expression suddenly became ferocious, "It was originally promised to compete fairly for the position of curator, but that bastard did such a thing!"

"Calm down first!" Ji Jiu took a deep breath and asked, "You want me to tell the police about this?...Speaking of which, I don't know your name yet."

"Joy, Joey Wright." The man lowered his head in frustration, then raised his head again a few seconds later, with a friendly smile on his face again, "You just need to write what I just said in a letter and send it to the police, and then Leave it to them."

This sounds not difficult, Ji Jiu thought for a while: "Can the New York Police Department do it?"

Seeing her let go, Joey nodded again and again: "Thank you so much! You are as sweet as the rumors say, my dear!"

...Forget it my dear!

Ji Jiu waved his hand weakly: "I'm just a messenger, I don't know if the police don't care."

"no problem!"

Ji Jiu nodded, then bid farewell to Joey and left.Unexpectedly, as soon as the other party finished speaking, she immediately bumped into a boy behind her.

The man was pointing his camera at the shark tank, so he didn't notice anyone approaching.After being hit like this, the camera fell out of his hand. He immediately reached out to fish for it, and caught the body firmly at a speed that was different from ordinary people.

The two were stunned at the same time, and then Ji Jiu saw a familiar face.

Some slightly curly short hair, and honey-colored eyes illuminated by light and shadow.

"Peter?"

"Nine?!"

The author has something to say: This case comes from "Aquarium Murder" by Yugo Aosaki. Wow, I would recommend this book. It is the first time I read this book to see the heart of a girl. It is so cute!

Slightly simplified, the original case was a little more complicated.
