Because I saw that Yin Yin's complexion became extremely ugly in an instant, she even turned her head away immediately, not daring to look at me, and her words also became very stiff. She said: "Then there is such a thing!" I pressed further and asked: "Miss Yin, you are also from Hunan, do you know that Nian Zhenqiang turned out to be the driver of the big bandit Niu Dajiao in Xiangxi, and he fled with Niu Dajiao's money. I see that relative , most of them are pretended, but they are actually Nian Zhenqiang's former bandit accomplices." After Yin Yin heard my words, her body shook again.

I said again: "If that person follows the law to solve the problem, it's fine, because he won't have any evidence, and I'm afraid that if he doesn't change his bandit nature, it will be a little troublesome!" Yin Yin suddenly fixed his eyes on me: "How do you know such details? Do you know that person?" I didn't expect Yin Yin to ask me like that all of a sudden, but I replied immediately: "I'm a journalist, Miss Yin." Yin Yin didn't say anything more, she just showed a very tired expression and waved her hand. And even if I wanted to know more, I couldn't stay any longer, so I had no choice but to say: "I'm leaving, Miss Yin, if I know that there is a further development of the matter, can I help you?"

Yin Yin looked at me for a while before saying, "Mr. Wei, do you want to earn some extra money?" I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "You mean—" Yin Yin said: "That man - the man you mentioned, do you have any way to get rid of him?" I was taken aback, the three words "send away" can have many meanings, including murder! So I couldn't make a sound for a while, and after a while, I said: "Miss Yin, I don't understand what you mean." Yin Yin forced a smile, and said: "I'm afraid of trouble, and Nian Zhenqiang...is dead, I don't want to see that person at all, should you understand?"

I asked at that moment, my heart beating wildly. From Yin Yin's mouth, something related to Nian Zhenqiang finally came out, that is, Nian Zhenqiang is dead, and Yin Yin knows that he is dead, which is really very important. Because until now, others seem to only know that Nian Zhenqiang has disappeared, and Jiang Jian and I are probably the only ones who definitely know that Nian Zhenqiang is dead. Because, Nian Zhenqiang's "soul" is attached to Wang Zhenyuan's body. I said "Oh" at that time: "So Nian Zhenqiang is dead, I still want to visit him!"

Yin Yin said a little anxiously: "He is already dead! I entrust you to send that person away. No matter what method you use, as long as he doesn't bother me, I will pay you!" That person was totally made up by me.But Yin Yin immediately believed it, not only believed it, but also immediately entrusted me, a stranger, to send that person away! It can be seen from this that she is very anxious in her heart, and this anxiety is due to her guilty conscience! Why is she so guilty?Naturally, the greatest possibility is that Nian Zhenqiang really has a sum of money in her hands, and she also knows the source of Nian Zhenqiang's money.

However, I immediately thought that if that was the case, she wouldn't have to be so guilty.Because since she had lived with Nian Zhenqiang and had a close relationship, then Nian Zhenqiang's money was her money, so why feel guilty? I thought about it step by step, and when I thought of this, my heart couldn't help beating wildly! And Yin Yin obviously didn't know what I was thinking, she was still waiting for my answer, I was silent for a while, and then she said again: "My salary is very generous, at least equal to your salary for a year!" However, my next sentence was completely irrelevant to what she said, and I suddenly asked: "Miss Yin, how did Nian Zhenqiang die?"

I had expected that Yin Yin would be greatly shocked by my question, but I never expected that she would be so shocked! She took two steps back, her body softened, and she fell on the sofa. Her expression became extremely pale, and her body was trembling slightly. After a while, she struggled to say a word: "Then ...how do I know?" I sighed: "Group Yin, although you say you don't know, your demeanor tells me that you do!" Yin Yin's body trembled more violently, she screamed: "Nonsense, I don't know anything!" I said coldly: "Miss Yin, there is no legal time limit for murder. Although it has been many years, but after investigation-"

Before I could finish speaking, Yin Yin screamed, "Go away for me!" I said: "Okay, I'll go, but I will go to the police station." As soon as Yin Yin heard the word "police station", she immediately softened again. She hurriedly said, "That won't do you any good, will it? Where did you think, you think I killed Nian Zhenqiang?" I said unabashedly: "Yes." Yin Yin has recovered her composure, she said: "Of course you don't have evidence, it's completely nonsense!" I didn't expect Yin Yin's attitude to suddenly become so calm, but that proved my guess was right.She did murder Nian Zhenqiang!

And the reason why she is so calm now is naturally because she knows that I will never have any evidence. I sneered: "Miss Yin, you're right, I don't have any evidence, the police may ignore my complaint at all, but there is one thing you must know!" I said it very seriously, so Yin Yin immediately asked me: "What's the matter?" I said first: "It is because of this incident that I know that there is such a person as Nian Zhenqiang in the world!" Then, I told Yin Yin how Wang Zhenyuan fell into the small lake, and after he was rescued, he suddenly spoke the native language of Xiangxi and made some strange behaviors.

I spoke in great detail and slowly. When I started talking, Yin Yin was walking around restlessly, and when I finished speaking, Yin Yin sat down on the sofa and kept wiping her sweat. She seemed to be old within ten minutes ten years. After I finished speaking, her lips trembled, she couldn't say a word, she just looked at me blankly, I was really afraid that she would faint suddenly! She stayed there for quite a while, then suddenly laughed in a strange voice, she said while laughing, "Science is so advanced now, Mr. Wei, you still want to scare me with ghost stories!" I smiled: "Miss Yin, first, the current science has not yet advanced enough to prove the existence of ghosts. Second, ghost stories can't scare people, unless that person has done something wrong!"

Yin Yin was still sweating, she kept wiping her sweat, but suddenly changed the subject: "I see, what you said just now, that some of the bandits wanted Nian Zhenqiang's money is all a lie!" I felt a little bit embarrassed, but when I thought that Yin Yin must be even more embarrassed than me when the murder case was suddenly revealed many years ago, I was calm, and I said: "Yes, but this matter is not at all. Fake." Yin Yin refused to let me down at all: "You have lied once, how do I know you won't lie a second time!" This middle-aged woman with a dignified appearance is actually so cunning, it can't help but make me very angry. I immediately sneered: "Miss Yin, I think what you did back then must have been very secretive. I'm afraid no one would know that Nian Zhenqiang drowned in that small lake. I know in your heart that you must be extremely surprised now. You Afraid of Nian Zhenqiang's soul──" I just got here, Yin Yin screamed immediately: "Get out, get out, get out for me!" Her scream attracted the maid and a manservant. Yin Yin panted and pointed at me: "Kick him out, and never allow him to come into the house again!" The servant immediately raised his fists and moved towards me. I gave the servant a cold look. I don't want to fight anyone at all. My purpose of coming here has been achieved.Although Yin Yin has not admitted that she murdered Nian Zhenqiang, but the matter is not clear, what does it matter if she admits it or not? Moreover, even if she confessed in front of me, she can repent in court, but I can't produce any evidence.Besides, murder is a natural crime, but for a villain like Nian Zhenqiang, what does it matter if he dies? So I didn't plan to stay any longer, I smiled at the manservant: "No need to do anything, I'm leaving!" There are people like that in the world. When I said I was going to leave, that guy thought I was being bullied, so he stretched out his hand and pushed me on the shoulder. This push made me furious, and with a flip of his hand, he grabbed him He threw his wrist hard, throwing him backwards and falling several feet! He fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while, and I walked out with great strides. I found the door and got into the car. This matter, in terms of investigating Nian Zhenqiang, can be said to have come to an end, because I can't continue to investigate further. I already know that Nian Zhenqiang is dead. The big star Yin Yin murdered in that lake. If there is enough evidence, then this is naturally a sensational big news. However, I have no evidence. When I drove away in the car, I also knew that Yin Yin's life would never be easy in the future. Just imagine, she killed a person, and after ten years, that person's "soul" suddenly attached to the body of a child. It is impossible for her to be indifferent to this matter. And what Jiang Jian and I have to do is no longer to investigate Nian Zhenqiang, but to study Nian Zhenqiang's "soul". What if it "exists" in the lake for so long? It is a strange thing to be "attached" to Wang Zhenyuan. Our research may not yield any results at all, but we still have to study it. I drove to find him according to the address Jiang Jian gave me, but he hasn't come back yet, his landlord, please wait.I waited for about twenty minutes, and Jiang Jian came back. Jiang Jian didn't seem to expect that I would come to him, so he was a little taken aback when he saw me. He brought me into his room, and hurriedly said: "You went to see Yin Yin, what's the result?" I said in a deep voice: "Nian Zhenqiang was indeed murdered, and the murderer was Yin Yin. It seems that Nian Zhenqiang still has some money. Naturally, that money also fell into Yin Yin's hands!" Jiang Jian seemed very excited. He walked up and down the room: "So that's the case, did she admit it?" "She didn't admit it, but I'm sure!" I told Jiang Jian the story of my conversation with Yin Yin from the beginning to the end, and Jiang Jian listened attentively: "Mr. Wei, you are really amazing. You have solved the unsolved case of more than ten years!" I frowned: "Mr. Jiang, I'm not interested in this unsolved case at all. The important thing is that we proved that Younian Zhenqiang died in the lake." Jiang Jiandao: "Yes, it has been proved." "But why is there such a situation?" I said, "We have to study further!" Jiang Jian was stunned for a long while: "But where do we start to study? We simply can't figure out anything!" I said: "Naturally start with Wang Zhenyuan, what other strange behaviors did he have today?" Jiang Jian shook his head and said, "No, he's completely normal, and he hasn't spoken in that strange language for a day." Hearing what Jiang Jian said, I was really disappointed, because if Nian Zhenqiang's "soul" disappeared, then there would be even less information for me to study! I had no choice but to say: "Please continue to pay attention to Wang Zhenyuan's situation. I am going to collect more information and go to England. There is a society there that specializes in the study of ghosts." Jiang Jian agreed, we chatted for a while, and I left. Now, there is nothing else to do except wait for further information for my research. I waited for three days. During these three days, I called Jiang Jian every day, but Jiang Jian's answer was only: Wang Zhenyuan did not behave strangely. I am more and more disappointed, because according to the existing information, except for the fact that Nian Zhenqiang's "ghost" Once attached to Wang Zhenyuan's body, there is no way to do further research. In my spare time at night, I set about writing an account of the whole incident, which I was going to send to a psychic journal for publication.But on the morning of the fourth day, things suddenly took an unexpected turn. That morning, as soon as I opened the newspaper, I saw a big headline: Red star Yin Yin died suddenly in the boudoir! In addition, there are two very eye-catching subtitles: The medical officer confirmed that the death was of extreme terror, and the male and female servants frequently heard the sound of ghosts. I hurried to read the news: "More than ten years ago, Yin Yin, the popular red star of the generation, retired for many years and lived in seclusion. At midnight last night, she was found dead in her residence. Before she died, the male and female servants heard her screaming. Phew, then the voice was silent, the servant asked through the door and replied that there was nothing wrong, but the maid heard the screams again in the early morning and broke in, Yin Yin was dying, and before she died, she still called ghosts frequently!" Next, there are the records of the reporter's interview with the male and female servants, and the photos of the male and female servants. Even I was in the news, because the manservant obviously remembered me. He told the reporter that there was a strange visitor named Wei who had visited three days ago, but his master ordered him to be kicked out. After reading the whole page of the news, I couldn't help being dumbfounded. The ghost of Nian Zhenqiang actually went to kill Yin Yin and avenged him! That is really unbelievable, but it is a living fact, it is impossible not to believe it! I stayed there for a while, and then read several other newspapers, all of which were similar, and I immediately thought that there might be a recording of the interview with the male and female servants on the radio, so I flicked the radio. I stood by the radio and waited for more than half an hour. Sure enough, a recording of the interview was played. First, the reporter interviewed the medical officer: "May I ask why the deceased died?" "The initial examination revealed that he died of a heart attack due to extreme panic. The detailed results will have to wait for further autopsy." "Mr. Medical Officer, do you think it is possible that she was scared to death by a ghost?" The medical officer's response was: "Excuse me, that's not my job." Then, I interviewed the maid again. The voice of the maid sounded very sharp, and she said: "We heard her scream, as if she saw... what, later, we asked her through the door, and she said yes I had a nightmare, and then I heard her screaming, we ran into it, and she was already shaking, and she could only say, ghost, ghost, the doctor is here, and somehow she died." The reporter asked, "Do you believe in ghosts?" The maid's voice was even sharper: "Whether there is or not, I'm moving out today." What the manservant said was not much different from what the maid said. Then, the reporter interviewed a police officer and asked if there was any sign of murder. The police officer said: "There is no sign of struggle and entanglement at the scene, but there is a door open, and two wolfhounds were found. They were poisoned beforehand." Death, this is suspicious." "Is the murderer pretending to be a ghost to commit the murder?" "Possibly, but so far, we have not been able to determine the nature of the case. It may be a deliberate murder, or it may be a rat who broke into the house and was discovered by the victim." "The medical officer said that the deceased died of natural causes." The police officer said: "Although it is not necessary to use any lethal weapon to cause death due to extreme terror, it is also regarded as murder in law!" The reporter asked again: "So, you mean, someone caused the dead to feel extreme fear?" The police officer thought about this question for a while, but did not answer directly: "That is our speculation. In fact, it is very rare for a person to scare himself to that extent." The reporter kept asking: "Mr. Police Officer, what do you think the dead man meant by saying the word 'ghost' frequently before he died!" The police officer replied: "When a person is extremely frightened, it is easy to talk nonsense. Mr. Reporter, you don't necessarily think that the deceased was frightened to death by ghosts, do you?" The reporter was somewhat embarrassed, and he quickly said, "Thank you for accepting my interview." That visit ended under such circumstances. Next, the reporter described the internal and external conditions of the house where the deceased Yin Yin lived. He described it in great detail, and looked down from the open window. He said that there was a water pipe next to the window. Climbing up from the water pipe, you can reach the bedroom of the dead. When I heard this, I turned off the radio. Because I know that ghosts don't need to climb any water pipes, and ghosts don't even need to open windows to float into the house. Although I have never seen ghosts, at least all the legends about ghosts are like that. I smiled wryly. It must be a case without a head. The ghost frightened a person to death. No matter how capable the police are, how can they find out?
