Incense money from flower and bird shop

The water stains spread on the wall, and soon climbed to the ceiling, leaving a lot of smudges.

When Ming Yan smelled the stench, he immediately woke up and pushed Xiao Congshuo awake: "Get up!"

At some point, a lot of sewage had accumulated on the ceiling, and now it was falling drop by drop, just landing on the snow-white bed sheet.

Ming Yan dragged Xiao Congshuo away in disgust, thinking in his heart that something was wrong: "It seems that the incense ashes we arranged all afternoon won't work anymore."

Following Ming Yan's gaze, Xiao Congshuo saw that the wall beside the door was already mottled, as if it had been splashed with thick ink.That thing doesn't need to break into the door at all, it only needs to use the spread of water stains to break into the room silently.

The stench became stronger and stronger, Xiao Congshuo cursed, and then asked, "What the hell is this?"

"It's a rotten smell." Ming Yan also covered his nose in disgust, staring coldly at the dripping sewage: "If I'm not wrong, these are corpse water."

Corpse water, as the name suggests, is the pus after the corpse has rotted, and it has an extremely stench.

Such a simple sentence suddenly evoked the memory hidden in Xiao Congshuo's mind.Ming Yan was right, because he had also smelled this kind of breath a long time ago.

"Can you see anything?" Ming Yan was ready to fight, but looked around, but did not see any evil spirits appearing, "Ghosts, monsters, or dead people?"

"No..." In this room, besides himself, the only person Xiao Congshuo could see was Ming Yan.

Ming Yan asked in a cold voice: "Since you came to provoke me, why didn't you show up?"

As soon as Ming Yan finished speaking, Xiao Congshuo suddenly heard a woman's scream, shrill, frightened, and full of mourning.

Xiao Congshuo's ears were buzzing, even if the scream was only for such a short moment, it still hurt the eardrums: "What do you want to say?"

Ming Yan's eardrums were also bulging, and there seemed to be seven or eight bees buzzing in his cochlea: "If you have an unfulfilled wish, you might as well show up to Daoming!"

"Look at the wall!"

Following Xiao Congshuo's exclamation, Ming Yan followed the prestige and saw that the wall by the door was covered with mottled water stains, which happened to be printed in the shape of a human.This dark "person" seemed to want to break through the wall, twisting and scratching.

Without even thinking about it, Ming Yan picked up the chair by the French window and smashed it against the wall.Xiao Congshuo watched his actions in astonishment, and suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help feeling chills all over his body, as if he was in an ice cellar.

Could it be that--

The moment the calcium carbide fire blazed, a crack opened in the wall, and the foul smell rushed to the face, making people nauseous.A strand of dusty black hair fell from the slit, fluttering gently in the breeze from the air conditioner.

Xiao Congshuo's brows gradually furrowed, and he felt a chill down his spine.Ming Yan held the back of the chair tightly, and hit the wall again——

After a loud noise, the masonry and cement were completely broken, and the black and foul-smelling corpse water gurgled out along the gap in the wall, like a mountain spring pouring down.

A female corpse was standing in the wall, with a black mouth that looked like howling. Even though her face had rotted into mud at this time, it could be seen that she had desperately called for help.She still maintained the appearance of the last moment before she died, with her hands making the appearance of scratching the wall, her fingertips full of bones.

She was built into it alive, spent a long period of time in darkness and helplessness, and finally died in the wall in despair and misery.

"She is asking us for help." Ming Yan couldn't bear to look at the woman's corpse any longer, and said to Xiao Congshuo, "She died in the hands of a scumbag, and she felt extremely resentful and resentful, and she was unwilling to be reincarnated."

"Call the police...yes, call the police!" Xiao Congshuo recovered from his horror, took out his cell phone and dialed.

This night was destined to be unsettled. An hour later, the alarm bell rang outside the villa.Prior to this, the colleagues were awakened by the sound of smashing the wall, and came out one after another to inquire about the situation.The stench made everyone dizzy, and they all held their noses and left in unison.At first, he was a bit bold, and went straight into Xiao Congshuo's room to check the situation, but was so frightened by the horror of the female corpse that his face was like gold paper, and he stumbled out the door while vomiting.

The good weekend vacation ended under the shadow of the murder case. The next day, everyone boarded the return bus with dark circles under their eyes, and the journey was surprisingly quiet.

Since Ming Yan and Xiao Congshuo were witnesses, they returned earlier to assist in the investigation.When Xiao Congshuo saw the young landlord again, he was already in handcuffs.

Such big news is rare, so Xiao Congshuo simply made continuous reports on the case, which aroused widespread attention and discussion from the outside world.Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise, the intern reporter got a good bonus.This extra reward came too timely, as the Mid-Autumn Festival will be celebrated next month, he had to send some money to his grandmother who lived alone in the countryside, so that the old man could have a good time.

For the purpose of allocating the money, Xiao Congshuo used the surplus to make an appointment with Ming Yan to have a meal, thinking of treating him to a good meal, after all, he is also a good brother who shares weal and woe.

At the end of summer night, the weather is no longer stuffy, and occasionally there is a cool breeze blowing slowly. At this time, it is very pleasant to find a stall on the side of the road and have a drink or two.

After drinking half a bottle of cold beer, Xiao Congshuo talked about the subsequent case of Fengdao Lake.

The facts were exactly as Ming Yan expected, the landlord did not tell the truth, not even a word of truth.The deceased was not his real girlfriend, but his dewy lover.

"According to modern times, that man is the door-to-door son-in-law, a proper Phoenix man." When Xiao Congshuo spoke, his tone was full of disdain, "He was entangled with a married young woman, but he was caught in his weak spot and was caught Someone is threatening a villa."

"He was afraid of offending his father-in-law, so he asked his lover to negotiate. Who knows that evil comes from the guts. Not only did he drown the man in the bathtub, but he even planned to build the body into the wall in advance. Unexpectedly, this woman just Passed out, and when I woke up again, I was sealed behind the bricks, and finally I was suffocated inside."

This matter is enough to be described as appalling, Xiao Congshuo said it with style, but Ming Yan was extremely calm, eating meat one after another.

Xiao Congshuo looked at him in surprise: "You have nothing to say?"

It's just greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, and desire. He has already seen them all, so what can he say?

"There is really an important matter." Ming Yan changed the subject and handed Xiao Congshuo a business card, "Would you like to work part-time in my shop?"

"Part-time job?" Xiao Congshuo never expected that the important thing Ming Yan said was this, holding his business card and muttering, "Do you have a flower and bird shop?"

Ming Yan nodded, and did not forget to add: "Food and lodging are included, and the treatment is favorable."

Xiao Congshuo rubbed the card with his fingers, and said jokingly, "You can't tell me to look at the store for you at night?"

"Isn't this an overkill?" Ming Yan picked up a cold beer and poured it slowly for Xiao Congshuo, looking very "thirsty for talents"

"Could it be...you want to take me to eliminate demons and defend the Tao?" Xiao Congshuo asked back with a smile.

Xiao Congshuo originally meant to make a joke, but Ming Yan said with a serious face: "I don't think so, I just want to recruit a deputy."

Hearing this, Xiao Congshuo almost jumped up: "Are you really going to recruit me?"

"You have yin and yang eyes, and for me, you are a rare partner." Seeing him, Ming Yan seemed reluctant, so he immediately resorted to the second strategy, "As long as you are willing to cooperate, you can share one-third of the commission each time." two."

A poor student who is about to graduate, has to worry about rent, water and electricity every month, Ming Yan wants to see if this person will bend his waist for five buckets of rice.

Obviously, this kind of division is a great temptation for Xiao Congshuo.He didn't want to get involved in the supernatural and ghost incident, but Ming Yan's offer was too tempting, and for a poor student, it was a big pie.

"My store has two floors. The first floor sells flowers, plants, birds and fish, and the second floor is a suite. If you want to save rent, you can move here." Ming Yan could see that Xiao Congshuo had been shaken, and it was only out of respect for ghosts. Fear, still hesitating.

Therefore, he threw out more attractive conditions at the right time.You must know that in City Z, the rent alone can frighten an outsider with a mediocre income. If the location is a little better, they don't even dare to ask the price.

"I gave me more than half of the commission, don't you lose money?" Xiao Congshuo still couldn't believe that there is such a good thing in the world.

"I just want you to do one thing for me." Ming Yan seemed to have expected that he would ask this, and smiled leisurely, "Lite a stick of incense every day."

Looking at Ming Yan's handsome face, Xiao Congshuo felt a little worried for some reason: "What are you—"

"It's not important, is it?" Ming Yan still smiled at him, not caring about these doubts, "As long as you understand that I don't harm others, nothing else is important."

"But since you sincerely invited me to cooperate and offered such good conditions, why can't you reveal your identity?" Xiao Congshuo shook his head, returned the business card to him, got up and left.

Ming Yan didn't chase after him, but just stared at Xiao Congshuo's tall back, and said to himself: "It seems that he is a little richer than I thought."

Coincidentally, on the way home from Xiao Congshuo, the landlord's wife suddenly sent a text message: "The rent will increase next month, young man."

Xiao Congshuo seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt from the blue sky. After calming down for a minute, he replied to WeChat: "How much has it increased?"

"Not much, 300 yuan."

Just as Xiao Congshuo wanted to sell the house for a bargain, the landlady seemed to have already figured it out, so she sent a text message first: "You can't lose a penny."

Isn't this killing people?

Xiao Congshuo's heart sank, and he called cheekily: "Aunt Zhu, look at the rent..."

Before I finished speaking, there was a series of overwhelming calls on the other end of the phone: "The price of pork is soaring like a rocket, and I have no choice but to increase the rent. Young man, you don't know my difficulties, Auntie, I also want to live and support my family."

"Uh——" Although Xiao Congshuo didn't understand the relationship between the price increase of pork and the increase in rent, he was speechless for a while.

The other end of the phone is still chattering: "The rent will increase by 300 yuan, not a penny less!"

"Then what—" Before he could say anything, the call was cut off. Obviously, the landlady didn't want to bargain with him.

If you pay an extra 300 yuan in rent, grandma's festival expenses will not be enough.The old man worked hard to bring him up, and suffered the disgust and white eyes of the neighbors, but he never took his anger out on him.Whenever Xiao Congshuo encountered strange things, she would comfort the crying child over and over again, humming an unknown lullaby.

The vague past came to mind again, Xiao Congshuo sighed deeply, and walked back dejectedly.
