Chapter 242: 242 【When I beat you up, ah, I actually have my own opinion.】

242 【When I beat you up, ah, I actually have my own opinion.】

Just as Lin Xiu'er said, the task library is full of old cases.

Tushan Jiu was lying on Xie Shiyu's leg, flipping through them one by one.

Xie Shiyu was blowing her hair.

After flipping back and forth, Tushan Jiu finally saw one that was relatively close in time to the present, and it was even in Nan Cheng.

She glanced at the case information, which was marked as 'suspected'.

She had indeed heard Lin Xiu'er say that such cases marked as 'suspected' are basically uncertain whether they are hallucinations produced by the parties involved or genuine supernatural events.

The party involved in this case is a sixty-year-old old man named Li Ziliang, who is still detained in prison.

Because he personally killed his son.

The record states that after a psychiatric evaluation, Li Ziliang had no mental illness, but he insisted that he killed not his son, but a ghost.

According to him, he encountered that ghost when he was getting off his night shift, and that day his son came to pick him up and take him home.

Because his night-shift workplace is far from home, and his job schedule is one day on, two days off, so sometimes his son would drive over to pick him up.

As a result, on that day, when they had just walked halfway home, his son turned into a ghost.

That ghost said, 'I will come a total of five times; the fifth time I come will be when I kill him.'

Afterwards, he told his son about this, but his son didn't believe him, thinking his father had drunk too much, since Li Ziliang liked to drink, and while on night shift guarding the gate, he would sometimes sneak a drink.

Li Ziliang indeed drank that day, and he also suspected he might be having hallucinations.

But afterwards, that ghost appeared again three more times, intermittently.

Li Ziliang then forbade his son from picking him up again, and he went to a shaman in his hometown to ask for countermeasures.

The shaman told him that evil ghosts also fear evil people, so he should carry a knife and slash at the ghost upon encountering it.

Li Ziliang did as instructed, but that ghost did not appear again for a long time.

On the day of the incident, it rained heavily, his son came again to pick him up, and then the tragedy occurred.

He slashed not a ghost, but his son himself.

Tushan Jiu took a glance, calculated Li Ziliang's birth characters with her fingers.

After finishing the calculation, she shared this task in the group.

Tushan Jiu: 【You guys take a look, I feel something's off, because I calculated that his son and grandson are not short-lived by fate, so this matter is likely fishy.】

Maomao: 【This case is fine, I can handle it, the points seem quite a lot.】

Wang Dongqing: 【This is the case from five years ago, right? My master-uncle happened to participate in this case before retiring; back then, the office personnel went to Li Ziliang's home several times, finding no trace of ghosts, yet Li Ziliang insisted there were ghosts, claiming his son and grandson had turned into ghosts and were out to harm him.】

Xiang Yichu didn't send a text, but sent a voice message.

Tushan Jiu opened it, and a voice came out that wasn't Xiang Yichu's but sounded very familiar: 'Ghosts? Fun! This is fun, can I tag along?'

Wang Dongqing: 【Puppet Sprite, your wooden head learns characters fast! Can you understand what we're saying?】

Xiang Yichu sent another voice message, but this time it wasn't the Puppet Sprite, but himself: 'It's been a month, it's learned pretty well, we can set it free now.'

Maomao: 【Agreed, it's really noisier than Wang Dongqing!】

Tushan Jiu laughed at the group's comments.

Xie Shiyu saw her laughing, the hair was mostly dry, he turned off the hairdryer, 'What are you laughing at?'

Tushan Jiu: 'Laughing at that Puppet Sprite, just like I told you last time about the funny puppet we collected in our first case—you don't know, this period almost drove the good-tempered Xiang Yichu crazy.'

Xie Shiyu recalled that, when he had recently gone to pick up Tushan Jiu from work, he had once seen that Puppet Sprite; it really knows how to enjoy itself, sitting on Xiang Yichu's shoulder wherever it goes, and it's quite talkative.

'My gut tells me it will definitely cling to Xiang Yichu's home and not leave.' Xie Shiyu stroked Tushan Jiu's hair.

Tushan Jiu also felt that, because she discovered that puppet not only has some chick-like attachment, but mainly it's just lazy.

Although its own life is basically fine, since it hasn't cultivated into human form yet, it should stay away from human society to avoid scaring people, so if we set it free, we should release it into the mountains.

But that guy enjoys life; having gotten used to city living, how could he possibly go to a place where birds don't even defecate to cultivate in peace?

Even in its current state, even if we buried it underground, it could dig itself out with bare hands and then return to Xiang Yichu to continue lounging and enjoying blessings.

Oh, no, occasionally it also goes to stay at Wang Dongqing and Maomao's places for a few days.

Its motto is to spread the love evenly; if it's going to annoy someone, it annoys everyone.

Only at Tushan Jiu's place does it dare not come.

Because it ultimately comes from below, it carries yin energy and fears Xie Shiyu.

The first time it encountered Xie Shiyu, it kept patting Xiang Yichu's head, telling him to keep it at least three meters away from Xie Shiyu.

So it has never come to Tushan Jiu's place even once.

Tushan Jiu naturally also enjoyed peace and quiet.

'Sigh, I never expected that the first case would also net a hot potato, and this second case really needs to be wrapped up quickly. Oh, right, you told me yesterday which day we were going to take wedding photos?'

Xie Shiyu said thoughtfully: 'No rush, we can reschedule; finish this case first, then take the photos when you're free.'

Tushan Jiu laughed: 'Sure, then I'll wrap up this case in hand and we'll go take the photos.'

Calculating the dates, the twenty-ninth of next month is her birthday, she can go get the license then; after finishing the case, early next month is perfect for taking the wedding photos.

Waiting for the retouching, output, and all that also takes quite a bit of time; I estimate they'll have everything ready before their wedding.

Xie Shiyu saw Tushan Jiu busy chatting with them about the case, finished doing her hair, then went to write the wedding invitations.

Their wedding will have quite a number of guests.

Not to mention him, just speaking of the Tushan Family side alone, people from all over the country and all walks of life are invited; the invitations are handwritten, naturally taking a lot of time, so now the two of them spend all their free time writing invitations.

But the two of them actually enjoy doing it.

After the four of them finished reviewing Li Ziliang's case, they unanimously decided to pick this case.

Xiang Yichu said we should still go to the prison to see this Li Ziliang in person; what's written in the record is one thing, hearing it from him is another, after all, everyone thinks differently, maybe there could be useful clues.

Tushan Jiu expressed agreement, and also said we should go again to Li Ziliang's home to have a look around; if there's any medium we missed back then, the case would be much easier.

Maomao: 【Agree.】

Wang Dongqing: 【@Maomao, you agree to everything, don't you have any opinion?】

Maomao: 【Yes.】

Wang Dongqing: 【When did you gain an opinion? I didn't know.】

Maomao: 【When I'm beating you up, I do have an opinion.】

Wang Dongqing: 【...... Let's adjourn!】
