Chapter 273: Life in the Haunted House (two chapters in one)

Qin Fei and Song Hong were very familiar with each other, and there was no psychological burden when they scolded me. He dragged me out of bed this late at night, and then told me that a house was haunted?

He respects the ineffable and the national culture, but as a criminal policeman and a firm materialist, he will never believe in the existence of ghosts.

Anything that cannot be explained must have a scientific basis. If there is no basis, it has not been found yet.

Therefore, he sneered at what Song Hong said, and even scolding him was considered a slight.

Li Xue was a little helpless. In fact, she didn't believe it, but Song Hong said he had a nose and eyes and experienced it himself, which gradually made her feel unsure.

She knew Song Hong well as they were colleagues for many years. It was impossible for him to become so crazy and nagging for no reason. He must have witnessed something with his own eyes.

If she didn't believe it 100% at the beginning, she only believed it 70% or 80% now.

Originally, Song Hong wanted her to stay for one night, but she didn't agree. Although she didn't believe it, it didn't stop her from being in awe.

Some things are just like that. You don’t have to believe it, but you have to be in awe. There is no need to forcefully prove anything.

"Damn it! Qin Fei, you don't believe it, do you? I've seen the white clothes and long hair."

Song Hong felt that Qin Fei looked at him like he was a fool, and he immediately became unhappy.

Qin Fei: "What do you think? Should I believe it? What about the messy long hair in white clothes? If I believe it, if this matter reaches Captain Chen, I will be asked to get out immediately."

Song Hong: "Do you dare to bet?"

Qin Fei: "What are you afraid of? What are you betting on?"

Song Hong: "If there is really a problem with this house, go to the door of the house and shout ten words of Li Xue, I love you."

Li Xue: "????"

"Hey hey hey! What does your bet have to do with me!"

If Qin Fei really does this, those two people will become famous, not only in the institute, but also in the neighborhood. Then the bored uncles and aunts will have to talk about it every day.

Qin Fei ignored Li Xue, looked at Song Hong and said, "What if you lose?"

Song Hong: "I will shout if I lose."

Li Xue: "..."

Qin Fei looked angry and kicked him: "Dream your Spring and Autumn Dream! Get out!"

Song Hong dodged deftly and said with a smile: "Are you admitting it? Are you jealous? Don't forget that I am so old in the future."

Qin Fei was suspicious. He looked at the two of them and said, "You're not just doing this, are you?"

Song Hong said seriously: "How can it be possible? It's really haunted!"

Qin Fei thought for a while and said, "If you lose, call me brother from now on."

Song Hong cursed: "Fart! I'm older than you! You should call me brother!"

Qin Fei: "Don't you dare?"

Song Hong blinked and looked back towards the community, which was the direction of the top floor: "Okay, that's it, you go and have a sleep."

Li Xue lowered her head, not daring to look at Qin Fei. If there was nothing fishy between the two of them, she would definitely stop them, but at this moment... she really began to expect Qin Fei to lose for no reason.

"Give me the key." Qin Fei stretched out his hand.

Song Hong handed it over: "Unit 602, Building 5, I wish you good luck, I'll be waiting below."

Qin Fei looked at Li Xue: "Why don't you go home first? It's too late. I can just stay with this lunatic."

Song Hong: "Who are you calling crazy?! Li Xue doesn't need to go home, I guarantee you will come out within two hours, and you will be able to crawl out!"

Qin Fei slapped himself on the forehead and was completely defeated by Song Hong. Couldn't this guy have watched too many horror movies recently?

Li Xue said: "It's okay. I'll wait here. Don't worry. Didn't he say two hours? I'll leave in two hours."

Qin Fei did not insist: "Okay, I'll go in first."

The two watched Qin Fei leave until the other party's figure disappeared.

At this moment Li Xue couldn't help but said: "Song Hong, are you lying to me or are you deliberately trying to trick Qin Fei?"

Song Hong was impatient: "How many times have you asked this question? Let me say it for the last time. There is really a problem!"

Seeing that Song Hong was so determined, Li Xue tightened her clothes and subconsciously moved closer to Song Hong. It was still very hot in the late summer, but she suddenly felt a chill, maybe it was a psychological effect.

Qin Fei came to Building 5 and stood at the door of Room 602.

There is no elevator in the old residential complex that has been built for more than 30 years. He climbed up in one breath, his chest rising and falling slightly.

click!

After inserting the key into the lock, Qin Fei hesitated briefly, then opened the door and walked in.

A chill suddenly hit his face in the dark room, making his body shiver.

This coldness was real, not an illusion. Qin Fei's face condensed slightly. He didn't believe it, but he still felt a little bit penetrating.

"The house is damp and cold, which is normal."

Qin Fei muttered to himself, his voice was loud, and his subconscious was cheering him up.

He walked in and turned on the lights.

What comes into view is a small living room. The layout of the house is three bedrooms and two living rooms, which is about 80 square meters.

The furniture is relatively simple, with a small 30-inch TV placed there, an assembled wooden sofa against the wall, and a round glass coffee table in front of it.

Maybe it's because the furniture is very small and doesn't feel full, making the whole room look empty.

Qin Fei looked around, chose to enter the second bedroom near the door, and turned on the light.

There was only a solitary bed in the second bedroom. There were no pillows or quilts on the bed, not even a sheet, only a mattress.

The room exudes a light fragrance, which must have been left by the previous tenant or tenants before that.

Qin Fei took off his shoes and lay down, staring at the ceiling above with wide eyes.

There was no quilt, the surroundings were getting colder and colder, and goosebumps appeared on his body.

After being stunned for a while, he took out his mobile phone and started playing. Half an hour passed like this, and he felt sleepy. He wanted to turn off the lights, but finally gave up.

It’s the same sentence again. Although I don’t believe it, I still feel uncomfortable in my heart. After all, I have been familiar with it since I was a child. It cannot be completely eliminated after two days of school and higher education.

He chose to sleep with the light on.

Time passed slowly.

Forty minutes.

Fifty minutes.

When an hour passed, there was a sudden whine of wind. The moment the sound sounded, the lamp above the head also made a hissing noise and became dim.

The dimness lasted for two seconds, continued to light up, and then became dim again.

Chi Chi!

The lights kept flickering, Qin Fei slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be footsteps ringing in his ears.

He felt the coldness, not from the outside temperature, but from the coldness radiating from the bottom of his heart.

"No way……"

Qin Fei silently chanted Amitabha Buddha in his heart and heard the footsteps getting closer.

He mustered up the courage to turn his head stiffly, and a figure walked in through the bedroom door.

No, it didn't come in, it floated in.

white.

Long hair.

"Fuck!!"

Qin Fei was so frightened that his soul flew away. He sat up suddenly and shouted: "Get out!!"

Snapped!

The lights returned to normal, the sound of wind stopped, and the figure disappeared. Just now it seemed like a dream.

Looking at the empty bedroom that had returned to normal, Qin Fei swallowed, decisively put on his shoes and left the house quickly.

At the gate of the community, Song Hong and Li Xue, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Qin Fei fleeing.

Song Hong chuckled, while Li Xue turned pale.

real or fake? ?

Qin Fei walked over with a gloomy face.

Song Hong cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Hey, Officer Qin, why did you come out so soon? Don't you want to sleep more? Did you see white and long hair? Didn't you talk to her?"

Qin Fei's body trembled slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sure... something is not right. What did the landlord say? Has anyone died inside?"

Song Hong: "Eh? Officer Qin, asking this sentence means you already believe it, right? People have souls only after they die."

Qin Fei's face trembled, and he said harshly: "Pretend I didn't say anything, I'm leaving, go home and sleep."

"Wait a minute!" Song Hong stopped him, "Qin Fei, I called you here to solve the problem. What should we do about this matter? There will definitely be trouble between the tenant and the landlord."

Qin Fei thought for a while and said: "Let's coordinate. The rent will be refunded and we will pay some compensation. This is a civil dispute in the first place, so we can't file a case, right?"

Song Hong: "Then we definitely can't file a case. It won't happen. We can only talk about this matter, but we can't spread it in the city bureau."

After listening to what the two people said, Li Xue interrupted: "Um...is there a body in the room?"

The two of them were startled and turned their heads together.

Li Xue said quickly: "I'm just talking nonsense. Isn't that how it is done in TV dramas?"

Qin Fei fell silent. This matter was indeed strange, but searching the room or even demolishing it because it was haunted was legally untenable.

"How about... I find an opportunity to ask Captain Chen in the next two days?" he said.

Song Hong was waiting for this sentence, and said happily: "Okay, okay, let Captain Chen stay here for one night, he will definitely not be afraid, and maybe he can catch it."

Qin Fei: "I repeat, there are no ghosts!"

Song Hong revealed his shortcomings unceremoniously: "Then why did you pee like shit just now?"

"I..." Qin Fei was speechless. He felt that he must be dreaming, but he really didn't dare to stay there any longer. "We'll talk about it later. You need to coordinate first and resolve this dispute."

Song Hong: "Okay, I'll talk to both parties tomorrow and decide on the most appropriate solution. If it's really not feasible for the tenant to sue, I won't care."

In civil disputes, the police station can only try to coordinate. If the dispute is really serious, they can only go through legal procedures. However, since neither party has suffered much loss, it should not reach that point.

As long as the rent deposit is refunded, all other issues are easy to deal with, and the matter of compensation for mental damage does not matter.

Qin Fei: "That's it."

The three of them left the community and the surrounding area became quiet.

Looking from a distance, the lights on the sixth floor of Building 5 are still flickering from time to time, which is quite strange.

Qin Fei forgot to turn off the lights when he left. He might have been really frightened.

……

It was past twelve o'clock, and Chen Yi and Zhou Yebin hadn't finished drinking yet, and the two bottles of liquor were already empty.

Chen Yi had many things to ask for advice, and they couldn't be discussed clearly over a meal. The main reason was that there were too few opportunities to get together to drink. Finally, once, neither of them wanted to end it early.

The next time, I don’t know when.

"In fact, you don't have to worry about some trivial matters at work. Just leave it to the people below to handle it. Zhuo Yun has strong execution ability, so you can use it with confidence." Zhou Yebin said.

Chen Yi nodded: "I know, Brother Yun is very good."

Zhou Yebin: "You should teach him more when investigating cases. If you are transferred away in a few years, he will still have to take the lead in the criminal investigation detachment." Chen Yi said with a smile: "Don't forget when there will be a new one. "

Zhou Yebin rolled his eyes: "Can I not be clear? You poached Shi Xin, and he will follow you wherever you go in the future. You still want to fool me."

Chen Yi coughed lightly, this is true.

If he really leaves the Yangcheng City Bureau in the future, he will definitely be taken away when he is new. Since he came to the City Bureau, the investigation efficiency has been significantly higher, especially the Jiaocheng case.

If there is no new news about the Jiaocheng case this time, it will be delayed to end the entire case, and the possibility of variables cannot be ruled out.

Zhou Yebin continued: "Understand, the role that the two of you can play is much stronger than fighting alone. This is not one plus one equals two. I have met him once before. Like you, he is young and promising. "

"Coupled with Lin Chen and the others, we have an elite team in Dongzhou, which is no worse than the Imperial City. Don't even think about going to the Imperial City."

He was a little drunk and spoke out what was on his mind.

After the Jiao Cheng case, Chen Yi's name should have been noticed by Emperor Cheng, and poaching was inevitable, but he had selfish motives and did not want Chen Yi to leave Yangcheng.

But... going to the Imperial City will indeed lead to better development, otherwise it would be called selfishness.

Chen Yi understood what Zhou Yebin meant and said, "Let nature take its course. Of course I would rather stay in Yangcheng."

Zhou Yebin didn't hear the answer he wanted, and was disappointed for a moment. He also knew that there were some things that Chen Yi couldn't change.

No matter what, he wished Chen Yi good development, no matter where he was.

The meal lasted until early in the morning. When Chen Yi sent Zhou Yebin back and returned home, it was almost two o'clock.

Fang Shuyu had already fallen asleep. Chen Yi did not disturb her and got into bed quietly.

Silent all night.

The next day, a new day began. Chen Yi took over the work of the detachment leader. His desk was full of documents and the work intensity was not light.

It's okay when there are no cases. But once a big case arises and needs to be investigated personally, time is simply not enough.

At this moment, Chen Yi felt more or less the pressure that Zhou Yebin said last night, and was familiar with his new position step by step.

Before lunch, Qin Fei knocked on the door and walked in.

Chen Yi looked up and saw Qin Fei and said, "Oh Qin Fei, what's the matter?"

As he spoke, he continued to flip through the documents.

Very busy indeed.

Arriving in front of Chen Yi, Qin Fei scratched his head and mustered up the courage to say: "Captain Chen, tell me...are there ghosts in the world?"

Hearing this, Chen Yi paused in his busy movements and looked up again.

"You have a fever?" he asked.

Qin Fei was embarrassed: "No, no, I'm fine...just..."

Chen Yi put down the document and said with a smile: "Let me tell you what you have to say. Have you watched too many movies recently or are you under too much pressure?"

ghost?

Unless confirmed with his own eyes, his materialistic thoughts are very firm. This cannot be changed by an unexplained and bizarre time travel. There is no direct relationship between the two.

Qin Fei didn't know what to say, so he said insinuatingly: "Something happened."

Chen Yi asked: "What's the matter?"

Qin Fei: "It's the one I just mentioned."

Chen Yi: "Did you hit a ghost? Where are you?"

Qin Fei recalled his experience last night. It was already dawn and he was in a crowded place. He began to feel uncertain: "Maybe it was a dream... I'm sorry, Captain Chen, for disturbing your work."

Chen Yi: "It's okay. Bizarre experiences always have explanations. If necessary, you can come to me at any time. Don't affect your work."

Qin Fei felt warm in his heart and promised: "Yes! Captain Chen, don't worry, it will never affect your work. I'll leave first."

Chen Yi: "Yeah."

Qin Fei left the office.

Chen Yi shook his head and smiled. He didn't know where Qin Fei made the mistake. Maybe he just watched too many movies.

……

Just like that, the time came a week later.

Chengdong Police Station, late at night and early in the morning.

Song Hong was on duty today, and he was hungry now that he had nothing to do. He made instant noodles and was ready to eat them in the police reception hall.

Li Xue is also there, and the two of them have the same duty schedule.

The previous matter between the tenant and the landlord had been resolved. The two reached an agreement and the landlord refunded all the rent and deposit, but did not pay a penny in compensation.

Song Hong and his colleagues almost lost their temper. In the end, the tenant left angrily and cursed a few words to express his refusal to pursue the matter.

It's not a big deal in the first place. If it really escalates to the point of filing a lawsuit, it would be bad for both parties. When the time comes, it won't be resolved for ten and a half days, which is a waste of time and energy.

Everyone is very busy and needs to support their families. Few people will go through legal procedures easily unless necessary, especially when they are not sure of the outcome.

Lawyer fees are very expensive.

"When will Qin Fei come?" Song Hong said while eating instant noodles.

Li Xue turned around and said angrily: "Song Hong! If you mention this matter again, I will get in trouble with you!"

Seeing this, Song Hong muttered in a low voice: "I'm willing to admit defeat. Who does he blame for losing? It's been a week and he hasn't seen anyone. Did he regret it? I'll give him a call tomorrow..."

Li Xue glared at him: "If you dare to fight, I will fight you."

Song Hong: "It's against the law to hit someone. You know the law and break the law."

Li Xue: "What's wrong?"

Song Hong was annoyed and continued to eat instant noodles without saying anything.

He must call tomorrow, quietly.

When the instant noodles were finished, Song Hong stood up and threw the box into the trash can. At this time, the police call rang.

Li Xue picked up the phone out of habit: "Hello, this is the police reception center of the Chengdong Police Station. Please speak."

"what?!"

"Okay, we understand. Please don't get close to the scene. The police will be here soon!"

The serious tone made Song Hong's heart tremble, and he walked over quickly: "What's going on?"

Li Xue said quickly: "Someone jumped off the building in the haunted community. The landlord was the one who called the police. She said she saw the tenant jumping off the building."

Song Hong's face suddenly changed: "Jump...jump off the building?! The house was rented out so quickly? Someone really dares to rent it!"

Li Xue: "Send the police quickly! What nonsense are you talking about! I'll notify Suo Liu!"

"Okay, okay, okay." Song Hong picked up his hat and shouted to people to leave. The two police cars quickly drove out of the Chengdong Police Station.

For the police station, jumping off a building is already a big deal. The house is on the sixth floor. The probability of a person surviving after jumping is not high. It depends on luck.

Along the way, Song Hong's heart was beating fast.

I told you it was a haunted house, I told you it must be haunted, but now something really happened!

Qin Fei said before that he would talk to Captain Chen of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, but there has been no movement for seven days. It's really not working!

Well now, there's trouble.

The police car was not far away and quickly arrived at the scene, along with an ambulance. It should have been a call from the landlord or onlookers at the scene.

It was early in the morning. I heard that someone jumped off the building. Many people woke up. Some were watching at the scene, and some were looking down through their windows.

Seeing the police arriving, everyone quickly gave way.

"Everyone, please go back, don't stay any longer!" a police officer shouted.

Everyone took a few steps back but had no intention of leaving. There was no shortage of people watching the fun at any time. Although the scene was scary, just stay away.

Song Hong and others came closer, frowning.

A very young man lay quietly on the ground, and the blood near his head spread like a watermelon on the ground. Although the specific extent of the injury was unknown, it was certainly not objective.

Doctors and nurses have begun rescue work, and a stretcher has been brought over.

Taking advantage of this gap, the police cordoned off, and Song Hong also found the landlord who called the police.

The landlord is a young woman in her thirties or forties, with ordinary appearance, very fashionable clothes, and stockings on her legs.

She was frightened and stood there blankly, her hands trembling.

"Miss Pang, what's going on? What are you doing here so late?" Song Hong asked.

The landlord's full name is Pang Qian, and he knew the name when handling disputes before.

Pang Xi swallowed hard and quickly explained: "The renter...the tenant called me and asked me to come. He scolded me and said that the house was haunted. He asked...to let me handle it, so I came."

"Who would have thought that as soon as I got downstairs, I would see that man jump out of the window... It was so scary!"

Song Hong frowned. He didn't know how to deal with it. He could only wait for the director to come over, or report it to the branch or city bureau.

"Didn't it become known that the house was haunted? Was it rented out so quickly?" he asked.

Pang Qian said: "It's cheap. I gave it a half price and they agreed. It can't be left empty. What's going on? How could my house be haunted?"

Song Hong sighed. He was about to check on the people who jumped from the building. He suddenly realized something and turned around: "What did you just say? They? How many tenants?"

Pang Xi: "Two."

Song Hong: "Couple?"

Pang Qian: "No, they are two men, about the same age."

Hearing this, Song Hong glanced at the crowd around him and asked, "Where's the other one?"

Pang Xi: "I don't know. I haven't seen him. He didn't come down, right? I searched around and couldn't find him."

Song Hong had a bad premonition in his heart and asked, "Do you have a key?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." As she said that, Pang Xi began to rummage through her bag and handed over a key. "They said they didn't have money to change the lock, so I didn't care."

Song Hong took the key and turned around. He quickly climbed up to the sixth floor. After knocking on the door for a while and getting no response, he decisively took out the key and opened the door.

Entering the room, a familiar cold feeling hit him. Song Hong bravely searched from room to room, and finally saw a young man on the bed in the master bedroom.

The young man fell on the bed with his head up, without a quilt on his body, and stared at the ceiling with his wide eyes.

The most shocking thing was the purple-black bruises on his neck, which were shaped like two slender palms.

died!

Being strangled to death!

This was Song Hong's first reaction. Thinking of the strangeness of the house, his face suddenly turned pale and his bladder began to tremble.

"Oh my god!!"

Song Hong took out his cell phone in a panic and dialed Qin Fei's number decisively.

He is the most familiar with Qin Fei among the criminal police, and this is no longer something that the Chengdong Police Department can handle.
