Chapter 126: 126

126 "Psychiatric Hospital! Little Ghost?"

She wandered around again, and this time she was holding some things in her hand.

She went to the mall's fire escape, and when she came out from the lower level, her hands were empty.

She casually found an afternoon tea shop and sent the name to Li Nanqing.

Not long after, Li Nanqing arrived.

Just like a few years ago, Li Nanqing still had that gentle and demure appearance.

Although she came from a small countryside, she was also from that nurturing place in the water towns of Jiangnan.

Moreover, she was an only child, and her parents raised her very well.

However, she looked as if she had lost some weight; although she wore light makeup, one could still see some exhaustion and fatigue.

Tushan Jiu became more certain: she was going to owe herself a knife.

Sure enough, the next second Li Nanqing spoke: "Xiao Jiu, long time no see. I know you're straightforward, so I'll speak plainly today. I want to owe you a knife. My boyfriend seems off; I suspect the person contacting me now isn't him!"

"Is it Nanqing's boyfriend? Or still that one?" Tushan Jiu asked while pulling out a nail clipper from her pocket.

Li Nanqing understood her meaning, smiled helplessly: "No, that's not him. That scumbag I already broke up with; back then I still had to thank you for owing me that knife, otherwise I really would have been deceived by him."

Back then, before she graduated from university, she had a boyfriend who said one thing to your face and another behind your back.

Of course, she didn't know that at the time, because that man disguised himself very well.

At that time, Tushan Jiu had once kindly warned her and owed her a knife, then left a few prophetic words.

Those prophecies all came true within half a year.

This also gave her mental preparedness, so she wasn't blinded by his deceit.

So she trusted Tushan Jiu greatly.

Hearing her say they broke up, she wasn't surprised, but she praised: "Well done. Give me your boyfriend's birth characters, and I'll check what's going on."

She handed the nail clipper to Li Nanqing, who directly gave her boyfriend's birth characters: "Jing Hangcheng, born on the fifth day of the fifth month in 2000; I'm not sure about the hour, is that okay?"

Tushan Jiu nodded: "Fine, that's enough."

The Eight Characters refer to the heavenly stems and earthly branches of a person's birth time.

It consists of the four pillars—year, month, day, and hour—each made of two characters, totaling eight characters.

The more precise the calculation, the more accurate it is.

But for Tushan Jiu, three pillars are completely sufficient; combined with her Heavenly Eye, it's no problem.

Without wasting time, Tushan Jiu immediately began calculating on her fingers.

But as soon as her fingers tapped twice, she paused.

What a coincidence!

Tushan Jiu continued the calculation; this time she had to go into more detail, which involved a lot.

Besides the ones she couldn't figure out, she calculated everything else.

After two minutes, she thought, "As expected, anything that passes through her hands ends up with her having to wrap it up."

Just now she said she couldn't calculate the later outcome of the incense factory boss; that means she herself is very likely to be involved.

She never expected it to come from owing Li Nanqing a knife.

Of course, she didn't figure out the incense factory's affairs; instead, she discovered that Li Nanqing's boyfriend is actually the son of the incense factory's boss.

However, at this moment his own father had personally committed him to a psychiatric hospital, where he was close to being driven mad by torment.

Furthermore, this Jing Hangcheng is the man who could see ghosts that Jiang Zhiyi saw when she climbed up in the psychiatric hospital.

As for the reason, it's the same as what Tushan Jiu explained to Jiang Zhiyi.

Ordinary people with the Yin-Yang Eye mostly acquire it because a tremendous external force later in life blows open the apertures of their eyes.

She asked Li Nanqing: "Sister Nanqing, did your boyfriend have a car accident in the first half of the year?"

Li Nanqing nodded quickly and then said slowly:

"Yes, we've been apart for these two years; he went abroad for further studies, returning to take over part of the family business, whose ancestors opened an incense factory."

"In recent years business has been poor; he originally wanted to study overseas, but right after graduation he had to help maintain the factory at home."

"But since the year before last, his family's business inexplicably picked up, so his father let him go abroad to fulfill his long-held academic dream."

"He's very ambitious, so I also supported his going abroad; thus we were apart for two years. In the first half of the year he finished his studies, returned from overseas, and on the day he came back he didn't tell me he wanted to give me a surprise."

"The surprise turned into a fright: on the way back from the airport he got into a car accident, his head took the impact, but fortunately aside from losing his sight for two months, he suffered no other serious injuries."

"I came to keep him company every day from the day of his accident until two months ago, when he fully recovered and was discharged home."

"After he first came home things were fine, but later he suddenly said he wanted to take over the family business, would be busy for a while, replying to my messages might not be timely, and we'd have to wait until things stabilized before talking about dates."

"Knowing he'd be busy, I didn't think much of his rarely messaging me."

"But later during this period he hardly replied to my messages at all, and even when he did, his typing habits were completely different from before."

"You know, you can tell a person's tone from their texts; he used to never put punctuation after the last character when typing, but now this person puts a period after every sentence."

"Also, he actually doesn't know my birthday, yet his phone password is my birthday—how could he possibly not remember my birthday?"

"Therefore, I conclude that the person currently contacting me is not my boyfriend, Jing Hangcheng."

Tushan Jiu listened to Li Nanqing's calm analysis and conclusion, unable to resist giving her another thumbs-up: "Sister Nanqing, you're still as meticulous as ever."

"That's right, the person contacting you now is definitely not your boyfriend."

"Then who is he? Why would he use my boyfriend's phone to talk to me? Where is my boyfriend? Has he encountered some danger? Should I call the police?"

Li Nanqing fired off several questions in a row; Tushan Jiu just calmly shook her head: "No need to call the police. The one using your boyfriend's phone to talk to you is his father. He's currently been committed to a psychiatric hospital by his dad, who has placed a little ghost to watch over it so ordinary people can't approach."

Upon hearing this, Li Nanqing's eyes widened in disbelief: "Psychiatric hospital! Little ghost?"
