What did you just say? Where do you think you are? Sheriff Lee frowned and said sternly. He slammed the pen on the table and tapped his fingers on the table.I cuffed you there To ask you to tell me a story? he asked.
Whats wrong? Officer, are you in a hurry to get off work? After all, Feng bujue explained,after were done with my statement, we still have to go to the hospital for a check-up (whether we carry any infectious diseases or have a history of drug abuse), and we can only be sent to the detention center after the results are out If we go back and forth like this, you wont be able to return before dawn. He looked up at the ceiling and said,hehe I think you have plenty of time.
I knew you were a seasoned cook Sheriff Lee glared at brother Jue and said,youre more familiar with the process here than the few newbies Ive taught!
I repeat Feng bujue replied calmly.I So far, I have no criminal record.
Sheriff Lee wasnt a useless person. The second time he heard this, he understood the underlying meaning.Hehe That means He paused for half a second before continuing,you might have committed a crime, right? He sneered.Furthermore Just because you dont have a criminal record doesnt mean you havent been put in jail before, right? He subconsciously looked around and said,I was wondering You asked me if I was new? So youre not looking at the police number, but at the face?
Thats not true Feng bujue shook his head.There are quite a lot of changes in the Department, and I havent been invited as a guest for quite a while, so I cant recognize every face. For example, the old Zhang at the door has recently changed into a new apprentice
Pa! Pa!
Sheriff Lee slammed the table and stood up. He grabbed Feng bujues collar and said,I advise you to understand the current situation!
Im very clear about the current situation. Thats why Im not afraid He tilted his head to look at the camera in the corner of the ceiling.From what I know, after 2030, the police force of S city has basically been fixed at 90% of the police College graduates and 9% of the military and other government personnel. The number of specially recruited members from society was now less than 1% Compared to the more complicated personnel structure in the past, the overall quality of the police force had improved a lot. In terms of discipline and standards It was also very rea.s.suring. As for the phenomenon of beating and scolding criminals at will at the end of the last century, and even forcing them to confess in order to complete their mission,now, it sounds like a story from a fantasy story.
When brother Jue said that, Sheriff Lee had already let go of his hand, but he still looked at him angrily.
Ha Feng bujue chuckled.I know that its getting harder and harder to enforce the law. Even if you run into a Rascal, you cant do anything. Even a small case needs evidence. Otherwise, well have to release the person according to the principle of the presumption of innocence. He shrugged his shoulders.Indeed Some sc.u.mbags of society just need a beating. The court system has its pros and cons. But its more helpless to discuss this further Lets face reality and sit down calmly to talk.
When brother Jue spoke, Sheriff Lee kept looking into his eyes, but he could not detect any fear in them. The sheriff understood that even if he was a repeat offender who was often caught in the police station, under his arrogance, he was also weak in his heart. The look in brother Jues eyes at that moment could only mean one of two things. Second, he believed that he would never be punished by the law.
The first scenario proved that Feng bujue was innocent; As for the latter situation It meant that he had a certain background. Of course, there was another possibility That this person was a lunatic.
Phew Sheriff Lee sat down again and lit a cigarette for himself. After he exhaled, he said,you tell me Ill listen to your story once.
He didnt pick up the pen, but the cigarette. Obviously, when the word female ghost came out, there was no need for him to make any written records. However, since the person in question insisted on telling a story based on supernatural theories, there was no harm in listening to it.
Police officer, how should I address you? Feng bujue asked with a smile when the man sat down.
Im Li. Sheriff Lee replied.
Officer li. Do you believe in ghosts? Feng bujue asked.
I believe in what I see with my own eyes. Sheriff Lees answer was smart.
Ha Alright. Feng bujue smiled.Actually Most of the ghosts that roam the human world are not that scary. Ordinary people cant see them, and they cant interfere with our world. Most of them couldnt even maintain their own existences During the day, they were in a formless and unconscious state. They could only transform into visible ghosts for three hours from midnight to three in the morning. Even during this period of time, their spirits are bound to a certain area For example, the cemetery where they died, the place where they lost their lives, or the places they often went to before they died In short, ghosts cant run around the world to harm people.
As expected of a novelist. Youve made it up quite well. Sheriff Lee replied noncommittally. He had already known brother Jues occupation when he was filling in the information, so he gave such an answer.
Feng bujue ignored Sheriff Lees sarcasm and continued,The one I met today was different from the average ghost
Hehe Is that so? Sheriff Lee took another puff of his cigarette.You can tell?
Feng bujues att.i.tude was still calm as he continued,Those ghosts who stay in the human world and cant leave are usually people with unfulfilled wishes. As for unfulfilled wishes, there are generally two situations The first is that there is still attachment to someone or something in life, and the other is There is hatred or resentment that has not been eliminated He paused for a second, then continued, there are many reasons for resentment, such as The person who killed this ghost did not receive due punishment, or the evil person who once bullied and humiliated this ghost did not receive retribution, and so on. Im sure youve read horror novels or horror movies before, so I wont elaborate on the details.
Ive read a lot of detective novels. Why dont you talk about the case? Sheriff Lee replied.
Feng bujue ignored his interruption and continued,Women have a higher chance of turning into ghosts than men. Because theyre more emotional, there are many things that they cant let go of easily. His tone changed slightly.If theres a woman who dies an unnatural death at every hour of the day, and shes wearing a red dress that can easily stir up resentment, then what will she become You should be able to guess it without me having to say it.
Fufufu Sheriff Lee blew out a puff of smoke.What you met today is?
To be exact, I met him yesterday. Its already past midnight, Feng bujue corrected.
You can continue. Sheriff Lee flicked the ash on the ground a few times.
According to the Ksitigarbha Sutra, a humans soul will return to investigate on the seventh day after their death Feng bujue continued,tonight, be it the evil spirits or the wandering ghosts, they will all possess a certain amount of magical power
Wait Why is that? Perhaps it was the effect of the nicotine, but Sheriff Lee seemed to be slowly attracted by brother Jues topic.
Because a lot of people believe in the seventh day of the lunar calendar, especially us Chinese Whether we admit it on the surface or not, most people still have a faint illusion about these superst.i.tious things. Feng bujue replied,you have to know The action of believing itself is a kind of power. The true forms of many urban legends were just some spiritual monsters with ordinary magical power. However, as the news spread, more people believed in it And they became stronger and stronger. This is the so-called power of faith In theory,G.o.d is the ultimate embodiment of this power.
Hmph Sheriff Lee snorted.I believe in Maxism. Why didnt I see old Ma turn into a monster and eat people?
Are you sure? Feng bujue revealed a strange smile.
Sheriff Lees expression changed.
Perhaps, many years ago,it had already become something with a physical form, and there was more than one It has existed until now and has devoured countless lives. And its rejection of other beliefs has also been expressed in a very extreme way Feng bujue added.
Enough! Nonsense, Sheriff Lee interrupted him.
Theres no crowd here, only you, and youre the one who suggested this example. If you think Im spouting nonsense, just treat it as me farting, Feng bujue said. He didnt wait for Sheriff Lee to say anything and went back to the previous topic,anyway I met a Red Ghost who came back for revenge on the night of her seventh day According to her, she was killed in that market.
Ha Sheriff Lee laughed,according to what she said? He repeated brother Jues words.It looks like You can talk to ghosts?
Of course you can. Feng bujue replied,I am very certain of that.
Then tell me What did she tell you? Sheriff Lee asked again.
Actually, I didnt say much. I roughly said that The owner of the antique store, the victim in this case, was angry because he was rejected by her when he was still alive, so he deliberately hit her with his car and killed her. However, after the incident, the boss pulled some strings and the case was directly cla.s.sified as an accident. In just two days, the boss was released from the police station. It was estimated that In the end, he would be sentenced to probation at most, and would not have to go to jail at all. As for the details, I really cant find out Normal earthbound spirits are more rational, and some of them dont even know that they are ghosts. Hostile ghosts are different Although they know what they are, they are in a trance and cant communicate with each other. They are very aggressive, he said helplessly.I had to fight with the female ghost for a while and subdue her. She only told me vaguely.
What? Hearing this, Sheriff Lee was even more certain that the kid in front of him was crazy.You still fought with a female ghost?
Yes, I am. Feng bujue replied nonchalantly and provided the related explanation.Things like specters Will create a ghostly realm. For a human who has not awakened their consciousness, entering the ghostly realm is like walking into the snow with only their underpants on
Once a person without spiritual sense entered the ghostly realm, they would become extremely fragile, both physically and mentally. Most of them were scared to death by illusions, and some were killed by illusion attack. In any case, if the brain thinks its dead, then its dead. He pointed at himself with his thumb.But its different for people like me who have awakened their spiritual consciousness. My mental endurance when facing illusions will not be reduced due to the ghostly realm, and I can come into contact with ghosts. He shrugged his shoulders.Even if three or four of those female ghosts come, I wont have a problem.
Ha Sheriff Lee did not know whether to laugh or cry.I really couldnt tell He looked brother Jue up and down.Youre not only a novelist, but also a master of ghost-catching.
You think Im mentally ill, right? Feng bujue asked after seeing the mans reaction.
I think? Sheriff Lee snorted.I think This is what happened He paused for a moment and continued,youre a not-so-famous nor-rich novelist. Because of financial difficulties, you decided to steal from an antique store. So, at 11:30 last night, you ran to the entrance of the flower and bird Market and looked around for a while. Then, you climbed over the wall when the security guard at the gate wasnt paying attention
Hold on. Feng bujue asked,if I plan to break into the house at night Where are the tools? He lifted his cuffed hands.Do I have to tear open the curtain Door with my bare hands?
Facing Feng bujues suspicion, Sheriff Lee answered smoothly,From the surveillance video, you really didnt bring any tools. You wont be able to hide your pincers He changed the topic.But Since its a planned crime, is it possible that Youve hidden the tools somewhere in the market during the day ?
HmmGood hypothesis. Feng bujue felt that the mans reasoning was very logical, and he could not refute it.
Its not up to you, a suspect, to comment. After you entered the flower and bird Market, you went straight to the antique shop. When you tried to break in, the owner of the shop drove out of the alley
The flowers and birds market usually closes around six in the afternoon. Even in summer, it never closes past seven. Feng bujue interrupted again.Its close to midnight, why would the boss be driving home?
Mid-month stock, Sheriff Lee answered almost without thinking. It seemed like he had already predicted what kind of questions brother Jue would ask to refute him.The main product of the antique shop is not antique calligraphy and paintings, but things like jade. There were a lot of jades of all kinds Compared to the larger antiques, it was naturally easier to lose and steal them. So its not strange to count it two or three times a month, and it must be very careful, which will take a long time.
Er Brother Jue suddenly realized that it was hard to find any loopholes in the mans reasoning.Youre a professional after all Everything can be explained logically
You were caught red-handed by the boss. In a panic, you beat him half to death with the tools you used. Sheriff Lee continued,but after you regained your rationality, you regretted it You have to pay with your life for killing someone. Killing someone in the case of an attempted crime is even more serious. Youre a smart man After weighing the pros and cons, you decided to call the police and an ambulance as soon as possible. Since hes still breathing, and hes surrendering himself, maybe you and he can still be saved.
a.s.suming you are right After listening to the mans reasoning, Feng bujue was silent for a moment before asking,then why should I tell you stories about ghosts?
Yeah Fujie Sheriff Lee took another puff of his cigarette.This Its hard to find an answer from logic. The only thing I can think of is Perhaps you are suffering from schizophrenia or some other mental illness. After being stimulated, your second personality appeared, and this personality firmly believes in a set of Ghost Theory that you have mentioned.
Hehe That makes sense. Feng bujues smile was still very relaxed.
Ive seen some cases of mental problems in the author industry, so I cant rule out this possibility. At this point, Sheriff Lee cleared his throat.Okay, back to the topic He threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it. If youre really a smart person, Ill give you two choices He raised his index finger.First, let your other personality come out and honestly explain the problem. If the victim didnt die, considering the circ.u.mstances of surrendering, as long as you hired a good lawyer to defend him The sentence wouldnt be too severe. Even if hes dead, we can use accidental murder as a defense. He raised his middle finger again.Second, whether youre crazy or not, just act as if you re crazy . As long as the result of the psychiatric test shows that youre sick, you dont have to go to jail At least you wont go to jail with ordinary people.
Hmm Feng bujue nodded.Not bad He raised his head to look at inspector Lee.Lee Zhiyuan, youre not bad.
As soon as he said that, li Zhiyuans expression suddenly changed.How do you know my name?
He clearly remembered that he had only said that his surname was li, but he had not given his full name.
Youre a talent. You had the chance to be a good police officer. As Feng bujue spoke, he removed the handcuffs from his hands.
Li Zhiyuan was shocked to find that the handcuffs on Feng bujues hands had become rusty and looked like sc.r.a.p metal.
Too bad Brother Jue said as he stood up.You took the wrong step.
What do you want to do? Li Zhiyuan also stood up from his chair. Although he did not have a gun with him, he was absolutely confident that he could beat the average person in hand-to-hand combat.
Brother Jue ignored his question and continued,And this step Directly ended your life.
You said At this moment, li Zhiyuans pupils shrank, and his whole body was cold,What
Do you believe in ghosts?
You wont be able to return until dawn.
Im well aware of the current situation.
You can even talk to ghosts?
Of course I can, Im very sure of that.
Most earthbound spirits are more rational. Some dont even know they are ghosts.
You seem to have forgotten about that womans case. Feng bujue slowly walked around the man, and the laziness and casualness on his face had turned into calmness and sternness.But subconsciously You are still on the side of the shop owner.
Who are you? Li Zhiyuan subconsciously retreated to the wall.What are you talking about?
Im Feng bujue. Didnt you already ask? Feng bujue replied,and the thing that Im talking about Is naturally the last case that you handled before you died. (To be continued.
