The ghost king is my wife

Fourth case

In this life, I finally waited for him to become a human being. Unfortunately, I have no time. The only thing I can do is to save his life. —— "The Love of the Seventh World"

"You brat, you didn't know you came to see me when you came back." Captain Wang lit a cigarette and looked at Gu Jinian with a smile on his face.

"...Hello, captain." He didn't know how to respond to the captain's enthusiasm, and now his mind was full of the ghost Dou E and the suspect Cai Cheng.

Seeing his reaction, Captain Wang thought he was still angry with him.

"Captain, can we meet Cai Cheng? Ji Nian wants to ask him something." Xu Chenchen said.

"Interrogation of prisoners is the job of the police, he can't do it." Captain Wang refused.

Gu Jinian was a little embarrassed. His current identity did not allow him to approach the suspect. He was neither a family member nor a friend, nor was he a policeman who could interrogate him.

"Captain, Ji Nian used to be in charge of interrogating prisoners, and you know his abilities well. If...I mean you want to end all this quickly and let the truth of the case come to light, Ji Nian will be the best choice."

The air conditioner was turned on in the police station, and the outside temperature had soared to 39°C. Only fifteen hours had passed since yesterday's ice and snow world.

Ten minutes ago, Captain Wang contacted the criminal police in Huaizhi County who were in charge of the drug case. They said that Cai Cheng, that is, Meng Chengliang, was the suspect they had been arresting. They would arrive in Shizi County in a short time and request Shizi County Police Department detained Cai Cheng.

"Just give you 10 minutes." The captain said.

Gu Jinian nodded and led Tang Yi into the detention center.

Surprisingly, Cai Cheng's appearance is very handsome, and he does not have the evil appearance of a murderer at all.He was sitting in the interrogation room with a glass window, wearing a blue prison uniform, his hands were rubbing against each other all the time, he looked tired and had heavy dark circles under his eyes.

Gu Jinian was choosing his words, thinking about how to ask. This matter is different from before, and it has factors that cannot be explained by science.

"I didn't kill anyone," Cai Cheng said. "If you're here to ask this too, I've already told you that I didn't kill anyone, whether you believe it or not."

It stands to reason that he is a survivor and should be well protected, or seek counseling from a psychiatrist to get him out of the shadows, but the police locked him up after they found him, and he naturally knew it.

"You said you didn't kill anyone, so why did you change your name and escape to another county?"

"Because..." He seemed to have something to hide, maybe this reason could get him out of it completely, but he just didn't want to say it.

"I believe you saw the woman you mentioned." Tang Yi said suddenly.

Cai Cheng, who had kept his head down, suddenly raised his head and looked at Tang Yi in disbelief.

"Why...don't you think that's an excuse for me to avoid responsibility...Only I survived...everyone didn't escape..."

"What? But no body was found in that building, didn't you escape together?!"

Gu Jinian heard from Wu Tianhua and the others before that the dormitory building did not find a body after surface excavation, so they should have escaped together, and Captain Wang speculated that they left together because they knew there would be an explosion, or the explosion That's what they did.

"How is it possible, the colleague next door was still snoring when I left."

It was this kind of feeling again, the creepy feeling in the pores, which made Gu Jinian recall Zhang Li's case. When he knew that Zhang Li's family was all missing, he got goosebumps all over his body.

"Cai Cheng, we know your real name, tell me the truth, you really don't know the woman who asked you out?" Tang Yi seemed to have no interest in the 'missing body', and kept asking Cai Cheng about the woman in white things.

Cai Cheng looked at him blankly, and after a moment of silence, gritted his teeth and said.

do not know.

"You lied to me. I can see it in your eyes. You know her and don't tell us. Is it to protect her, or do you think she is a'human'?"

"She is the most important person to me! I know who you are! You are a necromancer! You want to kill her!"

Cai Cheng suddenly became agitated. He slapped the glass window frantically, scaring Gu Jinian and Tang Yi back again and again. Wu Tianhua outside the interrogation room rushed in immediately to hold down Cai Cheng when he heard the yelling.

"I think it's time, let's go." Gu Jinian said to Tang Yi.

When he arrived at the door, Captain Wang was still smoking and drinking tea. Gu Jinian felt resentful and didn't want to talk to him too much, so he just said hastily, "Leave it to me, there is no charge." He dragged Tang Yi away.

It's really too hot outside, and the air blows on the skin, and there is an obvious burning sensation on the skin. It is now two o'clock in the afternoon, and the outdoor temperature is 41°.

After hailing a taxi, Tang Yi sat next to Gu Jinian. Gu Jinian was very concerned about why Cai Cheng knew Tang Yi's identity, while Tang Yi beside him fell into deep thought.

"How would he know that you are... a Taoist priest?" He asked tentatively.

"Gu Jinian, the kid is gone." Tang Yi didn't continue this topic because he couldn't feel the breath of amber on Gu Jinian's neck.

"He can't stay ten meters away. He must be asleep." He nudged Tang Yi with the tip of his elbow. This is a taxi, and there are strangers in the car. Don't talk about this topic that makes people feel crazy.

The taxi driver didn't pay attention to what they were saying. He only knew that the first day he returned to work today, he encountered this kind of ghostly weather. It was getting hotter and hotter, and he was still wearing long sleeves. He thought the weather was getting warmer, but who knew it would become In this way, he began to complain about the weather with the passengers, and Gu Jinian answered without saying a word.

Tang Yi's gaze slowly turned to the amber on Gu Jinian's neck.

It was crystal clear, as if brighter than before.

The outdoor temperature is 43°, the ruins of the amusement park, the dormitory building of the source of the explosion, the bricks were removed a long time ago, there are still some remnants of the stairs on the first floor, there is a wall next to the stairs, it is seriously damaged, but it is the side facing the sun .

It blocked the icy breath from the scorching sun, a space was formed under the wall and the stairs, Quartz stood there, and beside him were two groups of ghosts, one black and one white.

The poignant soul was so transparent that it was almost hard to see, Dou E struggled to open her eyes, the black and white ghosts were constantly sucking her last remaining thoughts.

Her gray hair has turned white, her lips have lost their blood color, and her memory is constantly being lost, but she still insists on chanting her husband's name.

She tried to speak, but couldn't utter a single syllable.

Tears overflowed and dripped on the ground, leaving no trace on the ground.

In the end, she turned into white light, illuminating the gloomy ruins, and the lost memories spewed out, directly impacting on the cold quartz facial features.

first world.Dou E lost her mother when she was young, and her father sold Dou E to the Cai family to be his daughter-in-law in order to gain fame in the examination.Of the three sons of the Cai family, the eldest son and the second son died in the war, leaving only the youngest son, who was 16 years old, the right age for marriage.Dou E was a little scared when she first came to the Cai family. When she first saw Cai Sanlang, she was deeply attracted by the elegant man in front of her. They introduced themselves to each other and chatted every day. Dou E, who read with her father, understood some Stories, they have a common language, and slowly fall in love.In the second year after their wedding, Cai Sanlang became seriously ill, and his mother-in-law sold his belongings to treat him. Dou E was also running around to get money for medical treatment. One day, when she and her mother-in-law were getting medicine, they met a robber and were killed by the local villain Zhang Lv Zhang Lv'er saw Dou E's beauty, and became greedy, but left quietly.The medicine is just delaying Cai Sanlang's already dying life.Dou E stayed in front of her husband's bed, and Cai Sanlang said to her, "Xiao'e, I can no longer take care of you in this life, and I will never fail you in the next life." A sheltered home is Xiao'e's greatest happiness.

It's a pity that Cai Sanlang passed away without hearing this sentence.

When Zhang Lv'er learned that Cai Sanlang died of illness, he proposed marriage to the Cai family not long after. He wanted to marry the widow Dou E, but was rejected by Cai's mother-in-law. The family married Dou E to him.Dou E refused to die, so Zhang Lv'er planned to kill Granny Cai in order to occupy Dou E. Unexpectedly, his father drank the poison he had prepared by mistake, and Granny Cai gave it to Zhang Lv'er in order to avoid the disaster. Twelve taels of silver, let him buy a coffin to bury his father.However, Zhang Lv'er used the twelve taels of silver as evidence to blackmail Granny Cai to kill his father. He bribed the local county magistrate and tortured Granny Cai.Dou E was afraid that her mother-in-law would be too old and weak to endure the torture, so she had to admit that everything was done by herself.On the day of the execution, Dou E yelled to the sky, overturned the confession, told the truth, called her husband's name in pain, and cursed.

Many years later, Dou E's father, who was admitted to the first prize, came back here to look for his daughter, but she ended up being wronged and died. The unwilling father reopened the old case and finally cleared up the wrongdoing for Dou E. Husband's long-cherished wish.

Second world.Cai Sanlang was reincarnated as a human, but a girl.She was born in the family of ordinary people. When she was five years old, she encountered a natural disaster. The village was washed away by the flood. Saburo, who saved his life, lost his family.She tossed and turned around, begging everywhere for a morsel of food, and Dou E was always by her side, talking to her in the dead of night, and she could always talk to a sister when she was tired. Saburo can feel the meaning of life.

At the age of 14, Saburo, who was considered a fool because he used to talk to himself, was tricked into a brothel. When Dou E found her, she was wet and prostrated on the bed.

Later, the brothel caught fire for some reason overnight, and no one escaped, except for a girl named Stupid.

After wandering for another year, she was picked up by a businessman and brought home. The man saw that she was pretty, so he married her as his concubine.

That is Saburo's real home, where you don't have to get wet in the rain, you don't have to go hungry if you have rice, and you don't have to shiver on the side of the street if you have a bed covered with an old cloth bag.

Just when she thought that as long as she served this man well in the future, she could live a peaceful life, the man went bankrupt, his wife and several concubines left him, and Saburo, who had nowhere to go, could only stay by the side of the down-and-out man , carefully guarding her hard-won family.

The man started drinking, became drunk, beat her, and caused her to miscarry several times, but she could only curl up in the quilt and cry at night when no one was around. After she was 6 years old, she never saw Dou E again. From then on, she was alone.

In fact, Dou E has been by her side all the time, she doesn't have enough strength to maintain her body, so that the grown-up Saburo can see her-after all, she has no complaints just to see Saburo, she should be reincarnated.

After Dou E saw Sanlang married, she left with a smile. On the way to reincarnation, she turned around because of missing Sanlang and came to the world to take another look at Sanlang. She thought that Sanlang might already have his own child and live a happy life. The memory before the age of six, she would regard it as a hallucination of being too lonely.

Unexpectedly, the last thing on Dou E's mind would be the scars on Saburo's body and the screams at night.

Originally, Dou E could only stay in the world for a lifetime, but because she couldn't save her beloved Saburo, she fell into self-blame and remorse. More and more negative emotions made her pure as white become more and more dirty, and she was afraid Her own appearance would frighten Saburo, and she didn't even dare to talk to Saburo.

She tried hard to control herself, but the appearance of the man's domestic violence against Saburo day and night made Dou E regroup the resentment that had dissipated—she had the strength to stay in the world again.

She killed the man and tore him into pieces.

Then, she returned to Saburo's side, stroking Saburo's tear-stained face with trembling hands, and said softly: "Sanlang, I killed him, he is not worthy to be your husband."

San Lang stared blankly at the corner of the wall, and tears came out of her red and swollen eyes again. Dou E saw her trembling lips parted slightly, and a vague but clear syllable came to her ears:

"If he dies, I won't have a home..."

No!Saburo!You still have me!

Dou E hugged her tightly until her body became cold.

third world.Cai Sanlang was reincarnated as an eagle.Dou E followed it and ran across the boundless prairie. The strong wind was blowing the grass and blowing Dou E's mottled white skirt.

"Sanlang! Wait for me!" She opened her arms to welcome the wind, and Sanlang spread her wings high above Dou E. Every time it flapped its wings, Dou E's outstretched arms also fluttered up and down like it was flying.

She couldn't help but think of Sanlang's appearance when he broke his shell, just like the egg in front of her eyes.

Saburo had his own eggs, and they hatched many cute eaglets just like Saburo.

Tired from running on the grassland, Dou E lay on its nest with some minced meat, and the eaglets were noisy, just like Sanlang when he was a child.

The children grew up and flew out, and Saburo also grew old.

It is 40 years old, its claws are beginning to age, its pecks have become long and curved, and its wings have become very heavy.

Dou E went up the mountain with it, and Sanlang flew to the top of the mountain, built a nest on the cliff, and beat the rocks with his beak until it fell off completely, and then quietly waited for a new beak to grow.Then, it will use its newly grown beak to pull out its nails one by one. Dou E caresses it very distressed. She knows that no one can help it with these transformations, so she can only be Bystanders, just like Saburo's difficulty when he broke his shell.When the new nails grow out, it pulls out the feathers one by one; after five months, new feathers grow back.Saburo soars in the sky again, and Dou E cheers and follows him, and spends another 40 years with him, until he really gets old, and she goes to look for his next life.

Fourth world.Saburo was reincarnated as a tree, a dense and towering tree.When Sanlang was a young sapling, Dou E often went to the clear stream to fetch sweet water, dipped her slender fingers in the stream water, and carefully sprinkled it on the soil around Sanlang.When Sanlang grew taller, Dou E sat next to him, chatting with him about the past and the story of the first time we met.When Sanlang grew into a big tree, there was a tornado, and Dou E embraced Sanlang with both hands, and it miraculously stood still.When it turned into a towering tree, more than 200 years have passed, the disaster did not destroy this grassland, and not long after that, the surrounding plants became more and more vigorous. When they rose up, the greenery decorated the surroundings of Sanlang, Dou E leaned against it holding the book, the tender green grass itched Dou E's ankles, and Dou E's bright laughter echoed on the green grassland.

"Sanlang! Aurora!" Night is the most beautiful moment. Dou E sees the Milky Way and the sky full of stars. The branches and leaves of the big tree behind him sway with the wind, as if responding to Dou E's joy.

Fifth world.He is a proud wolf on the snow mountain. The united pack of wolves did not harm the newborn cub Sanlang, but when it became an adult, it needed to learn to be independent and the responsibility of being a good father, so he left the pack.

It gradually has its own ethnic group, it has a wife, a child, and brothers and friends who once fought together to survive. They are united and have their own rules of survival.

Looking at its snow-white fur stained with dirt, Dou E inadvertently recalled when it was a cub, its round glazed eyes stared at Dou E who was smiling at it.

"Sanlang, can you see me?" Dou E asked.

Saburo whimpered twice and returned to his mother's arms.

Saburo's life is very short, only ten years, in the world of the jungle, Saburo died fighting to protect his family.

Dou E didn't cry, she caressed Saburo who was covered in blood, and smiled softly.

VI.Dou E stepped on the beach with her bare feet. A little sea turtle had just broken its shell. Dou E gently touched it with her fingertips, guiding it to the sea. The seaweed that wraps around it swims to the sea with it.

It has lived for more than 200 years, and Dou E has been with it for more than 200 years like this, riding on it, lying on it, and rushing to the bottom of the sea. resentment.

She knew that she was running out of time, and the next time would be the last time.

It came to an abrupt end.Dou E's last ray of soul dissipated.

The black and white ghost seemed to have finished enjoying the food, and knelt quietly on both sides of the quartz.

"What about them, are they dead?"

The ghost walked towards the dormitory building, but there was no corpse there.

Gu Jinian and Tang Yi returned home and immediately turned on the air conditioner.It wasn't so hot when I went out in the morning, but now it's like a stove outside.

"Quartz, Quartz, are you here, come out and help me!" Gu Jinian took off the amber around his neck, and spun it 360° with the lanyard, only to be slapped on the sofa by Quartz.

"Boss, isn't it good to be alive?" Tang Yi looked miserable at Gu Jinian, who was facing the sofa.

"Where did you go, Quartz, and why did you come out?" Gu Jinian got up from the sofa and straightened his wrinkled short sleeves.

"I... went to find Dou E."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Jinian's smile gradually froze. He looked a little angry, and he grabbed the quartz and looked him up and down.

"What are you doing!"

"Who allowed you to find her? What if you get hurt?" In Gu Jinian's perception, Dou E is the heroine of the Eternal Unjust Case, and she must be more terrifying than the red-clothed female ghost in horror movies. Quartz may have died earlier than her, but after all, Quartz can be bound by amber, so she must be a little ghost. It is definitely not safe to rush to find such a female ghost who can wipe out a county with a flick of a finger.

"No, Sister Dou E is very nice and beautiful." Shi Shi explained while pushing and shoving Gu Jinian.

"Then, what did Dou E tell you?" Tang Yi asked.

"She said she didn't have time and asked us to help Cai Cheng get rid of his grievances...and she didn't do the explosion this time."

"What?! She didn't do it! So... is it artificial?"

"I don't know, let them look it up, I also learned a very poignant story, do you want to hear it?"

Cai Cheng is innocent, he didn't kill, he didn't lie.

It turns out that Cai Cheng was Dou E's former lover. No wonder Dou E would use "blood splashed on white silk, snow in June, three years of severe drought" to sound the alarm. This matter is the same as 700 years ago, and the entire Shizi County will be buried with Cai Cheng.

This woman is crazy.

Gu Jinian exclaimed.

"Let the real murderer get away with it? Now it's not the same as before." Tang Yi said, "After so long, it's finally time to handle the case. Boss, you promised to bring me with you!"

Gu Jinian nodded, he thought he should meet Cai Cheng again, and expressed his willingness to help him, hoping that his emotions would not get out of control again.

"Oh, by the way, where is Dou E...can we meet her?"

"She's dead," Quartz replied.

Gu Jinian was silent.

died?Didn't it die 700 years ago? ? ?

"Boss, what he meant was that Miss Dou E must have gone to reincarnation." Tang Yi looked at Shi Jing, but Shi Jing didn't nod, and Tang Yi didn't speak.

Gu Jinian didn't want to continue this topic, he just wanted to catch the real culprit as soon as possible, return Cai Cheng's innocence, and cool Shizi County down.

Captain Wang was on a long trip, so Wu Tianhua naturally agreed to let Gu Jinian see him.

At this time, the outdoor temperature has reached 45°C. If you have been exposed to the hot sun, you will not last long.

Since noon, many people suffered from heatstroke. There were many people on the road near the hospital. Li Qing, who was flushed, opened the door and knelt on the ground. Xu Chenchen and Wu Tianhua hurriedly helped him into the inner room to rest.

At this time, Cai Cheng seemed much calmer. Gu Jinian straight to the point expressed his willingness to believe in him and would definitely find the real culprit. Cai Cheng raised his eyes, eyes full of gratitude.

"Let me declare in advance that I am not hostile to your friend. She is the key to solving the case. Please answer truthfully." Tang Yi said.

Cai Cheng is still reluctant to mention Dou E.

"If you trust us, we will trust you too."

When Cai Cheng was very young, his father divorced his mother because of an affair, and he was sentenced to his mother.

A child from a single-parent family is very withdrawn. He is not willing to communicate with others, and others are not willing to associate with this weird child.

Since elementary school, he could always hear a woman talking to him, and he thought it was his hallucination.

But she was always there, calling his name softly, comforting him when he was sad and lonely, talking to him, and chatting with him.

If it's a hallucination, a dream, don't let me wake up.

Cai Cheng thought so.

His mother remarried when he was ten years old, and Cai Cheng was unwilling to move to his mother's new family. He was afraid of being squeezed out because of his low self-esteem, and even more afraid that he would never hear her voice from now on.So, he lived alone in a small bungalow, and his mother came back to visit him once a week.

"I've been with you for so long...I still don't know your name." 16-year-old Cai Chengcheng is about to take the high school entrance examination, and his test results are not very satisfactory. He just wants a graduation diploma, so he goes out to work, and suddenly Thinking of the girl who has been waiting for him at home, Cai Cheng, who is just in love, has a different emotion.

"Just call me Xiao'e. Didn't you always call me sister?"

"But... your voice doesn't sound as loud as mine now!"

What a naive child, Dou E thought.

Cai Cheng is a stain in his mother's life, he will always remind her of that bad marriage, but due to her duties, she can only take care of him until he is an adult, and now she is fully committed to the new marriage and has children , 16-year-old Cai Cheng rarely sees his mother.On the day of graduation, the mother and her husband and children went abroad, and Cai Cheng finally became a person again.

"What are you thinking, you still have me." Xiao'e smiled.

Finding a job as a delivery guy, Cai Cheng rides the battery car provided by the company to deliver food in the wind and rain every day. Although he doesn't earn a lot, it is enough to support himself.It was raining heavily that day, and he received an order to deliver iced fruit salad from the salad shop. He needed to bring a knife, so he drove the battery car with the order from the customer.

Later, the customer died, and the cause of death was the knife.

That was the first time Cai Cheng saw Dou E. She hugged him very nervously and told him to run.

"Why, I didn't kill anyone."

"Your fingerprints are on the knife, they will definitely not let you go!"

"I didn't kill anyone, why did I run away!"

"Sanlang, listen to me! Even if you didn't do it, they will say you did it! Run!"

Xiao'e's crying made Cai Cheng feel a little scared. He listened to Dou E's words and ran away.

"I haven't seen her since I left Huaizhi County." Cai Cheng said to Gu Jinian, "Until that time...she saved my life, and I have been calling her name every night for the past few days , but she didn't answer me, where did she go?"

No one answered him, maybe they didn't know how to answer.

The surveillance in Huaizhi County two years ago was preserved, Captain Wang got the video tape three days later, and no one except Cai Cheng entered or exited the hotel of the deceased.

A small part of that video was omitted. Just after Cai Cheng left the hotel, the deceased went to the front desk to ask for a towel. That is to say, he was killed after Cai Cheng left.

"He really didn't kill people..." Captain Wang muttered to himself.

No one came in or out, and the only person who had been in or out of the hotel was Cai Cheng. Cai Cheng was not the murderer, so there was only one possibility...he committed suicide? ?

Everyone still felt a little weird, but at least it could prove that Cai Cheng was indeed innocent.On the sixth day of the severe drought, the trial of Cai Cheng's murder case was held. The suspect Cai Cheng had an alibi and was acquitted and released.

The moment the group left the court, it rained.

With the cool wind coming, Gu Jinian reached out to catch some water, which was extremely clear rainwater.

The trio of troublemakers and the detective agency fought hard, and the six of them sent Cai Cheng to the train at the station. The man was carrying a bag. Although he was tall, he was very thin.His skin is dark and his features are delicate.His back always looks so lonely.

"I want to go back and find her." Cai Cheng said.

Gu Jinian nodded, and Cai Cheng smiled when he saw it. It was just a look, and there was no need to say words of gratitude.

After the rain, the sun shone warmly. In a trance, Gu Jinian seemed to see a beautiful woman beside him. She was wearing a white skirt, holding his strong arm with a smile, and the wind was blowing in her ears. With long hair at the temples, she smiled to herself.

She searched for your Seventh World, now, it's time for you to search for her.

[End of the fourth case]
