I stayed there for a while, then dialed a phone number to Jiang Jian's school, found Jiang Jian, and asked in the first sentence: "Have you read today's newspaper? What's your opinion on that murder case?" "I think it was really Nian Zhenqiang's ghost." "You also believe in ghosts." "Besides acknowledging the existence of ghosts, there is no other way to explain it!" I smiled wryly: "What happened to Wang Zhenyuan? Is there any strange new performance?" "No, he seems to be completely back to normal." At Jiang Jian's place, I couldn't ask anything, so I said goodbye to him and put down the phone.

Originally, this incident can be said to have passed, and the ghost of Nian Zhenqiang will never come to me, because it can be said to be a matter that has nothing to do with me.Moreover, Nian Zhenqiang's soul seems to have left Wang Zhenyuan, so I don't have to worry about this child anymore. However, I always feel that there are still some doubts about the whole thing. But I just feel it, and I can't say at all what it is that I suspect. Until the next day, my doubts grew stronger. The news of the strange death was still in the newspaper the next day. The news reported the financial situation of the deceased. The deceased had nothing but a very small amount of cash left.

But the maid proved that the deceased had a huge amount of cash and a lot of jewelry, which were stored in a secret safe in her bedroom. When the police officers opened the safe, it was empty. As a result, some people speculate that the deceased committed suicide due to financial constraints, but the police still have no clue. I finished reading the news and closed the newspaper. My mind was very chaotic. There were many, many thoughts spinning around in my mind. I had already thought of some, but I couldn't catch the clue. I began to wonder if it was really the behavior of ghosts. The ghost went to revenge and took everything in the safe?Naturally the next meeting!

And I don't take into account the financial difficulties of the deceased at all, because I went to see her before she died.I still had some confidence in my powers of observation, and I saw nothing in her financial difficulties. Well, this thing is done by people. I have a little bit of an idea, and I suddenly thought of the first point I had doubts about, it was because of a coincidence, why did Nian Zhenqiang’s ghost not come sooner or later, just when I visited the dead, it must be Nian Zhenqiang After dying at the hands of Yin Yin, did he seek revenge from Yin Yin? Moreover, I immediately remembered the second point of my suspicion. The existence of Nian Zhenqiang's ghost is to be expressed through another person's body. Even if the existence of ghosts is admitted, it is impossible to have the image of Nian Zhenqiang Appearing, since there is no Nian Zhenqiang image, why would Yin Yin yell that there is a "ghost"?Yin Yin must have seen something. What she saw was naturally Nian Zhenqiang who was so frightened.

The police said that there was no trace of struggle in the bedroom, but the contents of the safe were missing. Naturally, Yin Yinyi saw Nian Zhenqiang, felt guilty, and voluntarily donated it. And Nian Zhenqiang is already dead, even if he admits the existence of ghosts, it is impossible for his ghost to form an image and appear in front of Yin Yin. I was sitting up when I thought about it, but I just jumped up! I found the focus of the problem! That is: someone knew Yin Yin's psychological weakness, so he pretended to be Nian Zhenqiang and appeared in front of Yin Yin. And that person's purpose, of course, was for that large sum of cash and jewelry.

This person not only knew Yin Yin's psychological weakness, knew that Yin Yin had killed Nian Zhenqiang, but also knew that Nian Zhenqiang had a considerable amount of money, so he stayed with Yin Yin! When I thought of this, I froze, because the person who fit this condition seemed to be me! I know that Nian Zhenqiang has money to stay with Yin Yin, and knowing that Yin Yin killed Nian Zhenqiang, I am the most likely person to pretend to be Nian Zhenqiang and scare Yin Yin to death.But I am sure that I have not done it myself, and I do not even doubt that it is possible for me to do it in somnambulism.

So, who else but me? Jiang Jian! I suddenly remembered Jiang Jian's name, I knew it, and he knew it all, if it wasn't me, it must be him! I sat down again, feeling confused again, Jiang Jian, the whole thing, all came from him, if he hadn't told me about that miracle, I wouldn't have known Wang Zhenyuan at all, and I didn't know there was such a thing as Nian Zhenqiang in the world people! Moreover, I also remembered that when I wanted to meet Yin Yin with Jiang Jian, he had a very special demeanor, why?Why didn't he go to see Yin Yin? I didn't think about it for long before I had a clue.

Jiang Jian is at school now, but I rushed to his house. I hurried out, came to his door, and rang the bell. His landlord knew me and let me in. I said that I made an appointment with Jiang Jian and waited for him in his room.But the landlord said: "Teacher Jiang must have forgotten that he has locked the door for the past two days!" My heart moved: "He didn't lock it before?" "Yeah, never lock it," replied the landlord. "I can clean the room for him." I took out a bunch of keys: "It doesn't matter, he remembered that the room was locked, so he gave me the keys."

Jiang Jian naturally didn't give me any keys, but I have three lily keys. It's too easy to open the lock of Jiang Jian's door. The landlord was not suspicious either. I easily opened the door with a lily key and walked in. I closed the door. Jiang Jian's room was very messy. He would rather not have the landlord tidy up the room but lock the door. Naturally, there was a reason for that. There is only one possibility: in his room, suddenly there are some things that he doesn't want to be seen by others. I began to search in his room, and within ten minutes, I pulled out a heavy suitcase from the bottom of the closet. As soon as I opened the suitcase, when I lifted the clothes on it, I Involuntarily, he took a breath.

The box is full of banknotes, and all of them are large-value banknotes. It seems that Nian Zhenqiang brought a lot of wealth back then. After so many years of spending, there is still so much left over! I found another bag of jewelry in the box, then I closed the lid and put the box back where it was. I made a phone call to Jiang Jian and told him that I was waiting for him at his home to discuss something important with him and asked him to come back immediately. Jiang Jian rushed into the room half an hour later, his expression was very ugly, and he stared at me: "How did you get in?"

I smiled: "Open the door, I naturally came in!" He quickly glanced at the closet, and I said again: "You don't need to look, I've found everything, but I put it away as it was before, Jiang Jian, who are you from Nian Zhenqiang?" ?” My question was so abrupt that Jiang Jian's face turned dead gray in an instant. His body was trembling, and he said, "You...how did you know?" "That's my guess," I replied. That is indeed my conjecture, and I don't have enough evidence to confirm my conjecture, I'm just skeptical. I suspect that the beginning of Jiang Jian's relationship with Nian Zhenqiang is because he refused to go with me to see Yin Yin.And when I found the box of banknotes, I knew that it was he who disguised himself as Nian Zhenqiang to scare Yin Yin. That aroused my further doubts, Yin Yin was scared to death by his pretending Nian Zhenqiang, then he must be very similar, and if he was not familiar with Nian Zhenqiang, how could he act like Nian Zhenqiang?As far as I'm concerned, I don't know what Nian Zhenqiang looks like! That's why I suddenly asked Jiang Jian like that, and Jiang Jian's rhetorical question already showed that my guess was correct! Jiang Jian's complexion became very pale, his body was trembling slightly, his hands were helplessly hanging down, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't speak a word. I looked at it for a while: "Come slowly, don't worry, speak out what you want to say slowly." Jiang Jian's face turned from white to red, and he suddenly blushed and shouted, "I didn't kill her, she scared herself to death, and that's none of my business!" I shook my head: "It's useless for you to say that to me. It's doubtful whether the judge and jurors will accept your explanation." His face became pale again: "You... want to hand me over to the police station? You... you can't." I spread my hands: "What else can I do?" He suddenly grabbed my arm and shook it vigorously: "She is a murderer, she is a murderer who murders money, you know, you told me that." I nodded: "Yes──" But I didn't have a chance to continue, and he hurriedly said: "And I just pretended to be the person killed by her, and went to claim back the property stolen by her. As soon as she saw me, she voluntarily gave away all Give me all the belongings, she opened the safe by herself, and then I left, she died, so, am I guilty too?" I'm not very good at the law, so it's hard for me to answer whether Jiang Jian is guilty or not. I stayed for a while, then brought the question back to the beginning: "Who are you from Nian Zhenqiang?" Jiang Jian sat down dejectedly, lowered his head, and said in a slow voice: "He is my uncle." I looked at him, and after hearing his answer, I couldn't help but feel an extreme anger in my heart. That kind of anger will happen to anyone who finds out that he has been played by others. Jiang Jian is Nian Zhenqiang's nephew, so he is naturally from Xiangxi, he understands that dialect completely, but he pretends not to understand that language at all, to tease me! I went further and thought that from beginning to end, the whole thing was a trap arranged by him! I stared at him fiercely: "Jiang Jian, you are a despicable liar, you are so despicable!" Jiang Jian didn't dare to raise his head, he lowered his head even lower: "Please forgive me, I just wanted to understand how my uncle died. At that time, I was too young." I snapped, "What do you mean?" Jiang Jiandao: "When my uncle lived with that actress, I also lived in her house." Jiang Jiandao: "One day, when they went out, they said they were going to play in that small lake, but my uncle didn't come back. She only told me that my uncle had drowned in the lake!" I was so sad that I couldn't speak. Of course, I was not sad because of Nian Zhenqiang's death, but I was sad for myself. It was so easy to be fooled a lot. The whole thing was Jiang Jian's trap! Jiang Jian finally raised his head again and glanced at me, but when he saw my angry face, he immediately lowered his head again. He continued: "That night, she kicked me out. Apart from my uncle, I had no relatives, so I had to be a little beggar. Later, someone was willing to take me in as an apprentice. I worked hard to study, and finally I never swallowed up by society." I still didn't make a sound, Jiang Jian said with a wry smile: "Isn't it natural for me to want to investigate the cause of my uncle's death when I grow up?" I said coldly: "Speak!" Jiang Jian sighed: "I've heard of your name for a long time, and I don't have the money to hire a private detective to investigate this matter. Moreover, the matter is too far apart, and ordinary people may not be able to investigate it. Only things that arouse your interest in investigating!" I said coldly, "So, you made up the story about Wang Zhenyuan falling into the lake." "No, no, Wang Zhenyuan really fell into the lake. After I rescued him, I suddenly had an inspiration. I knew that the small lake where my uncle drowned was that one, so I taught Wang Zhenyuan how to do it. Some weird actions, asking him to speak a few words of that difficult dialect, pretending to be possessed by a soul, I want you to investigate this matter." I felt dizzy for a while! It turned out that Wang Zhenyuan's weird behavior and the Xiangxi dialect that came out of his mouth were all taught by Jiang Jian! But I am still serious, I am researching the existence of the soul, I have already written the outline, and I am going to write a detailed article, and send it to a journal that specializes in the existence of the soul for publication! Probably because of my ugly complexion, Jiang Jian shook his hands, as if trying to stop me from hitting him. After a long time, I said: "Then, the words on that tape are all your own words." "Yes... I just remember that my uncle was very rich at first, but his money suddenly went somewhere. He came back angrily that day, scolded that gold shop, and scolded that woman. I just happened to Walked up to him and he slapped me hard, so I remember it very well." I stood up slowly, turned around suddenly, and hit a desk hard, causing everything on the desk to jump up. Jiang Jian's eyes widened in fright, and I said: "Jiang Jian, you Use me to investigate the cause of Nian Zhenqiang's death, since you know the result, why don't you call the police?" Jiang Jian stammered: "It's useless to call the police, because it's been too long. I was with you, and I did know that my uncle was murdered. I spent three days preparing, disguised as my uncle, and stole it in the middle of the night. Entering her bedroom, when she saw it, she almost passed out!" I sneered, and Jiang Jian hastily defended himself: "I asked her where the money was swallowed up, and she automatically opened the safe, moved everything out, and begged me to spare her. What to do, take the money and leave, until the next day when I read the newspaper, I didn't know that she was dead, she was scared to death by the bad things she did back then!" I was silent for a long time. I have reason to believe Jiang Jian's words. Yin Yin was not killed by Jiang Jian, because when the male and female servants rushed into the room, Yin Yin was still alive, and she was still screaming: "Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!" Later, naturally, it was because she was overwhelmed by panic and her heart was overwhelmed that she died. Jiang Jian's words were not unreasonable. If Yin Yin hadn't done something wrong back then, she wouldn't have died. Nian Zhenqiang is a bandit leader, and he deserves to die. Yin Yin is a murderer, and his death is not a pity. Jiang Jian can be said to be innocent. Although he has been using me from beginning to end, if he is charged with murder, then his life will be over. I was pacing up and down in his room. Jiang Jian kept looking at me. Although I hated him in my heart, I didn't want to ruin him. Seeing that I was silent, Jiang Jian smiled wryly: "Mr. Wei, if you must hand me over to the police, then I have one more request to you. Please submit your investigation results in court. Tell us how Yin Yin murdered Nian Zhenqiang." I said, "Even if I tell you, you are still guilty!" Jiang Jian smiled wryly: "That would be better. In fact, my crime is only for entering the house without permission. If she hadn't killed Nian Zhenqiang, why should I be afraid when I saw Nian Zhenqiang pretending to be?" I stayed for a while longer before I said, "What are you going to use that money for?" Jiang Jian said sadly: "Originally, I planned to use the money to build a middle school for the poor, because I must never forget the difficult situation when I was in middle school. Now, of course, I can't achieve this goal." I sighed, and at that moment, I changed my mind, and I reached out and patted his shoulder: "Okay, go and realize your wish, we have never met before!" Jiang Jian raised his head abruptly, stared at me, opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word. And I didn't even look at him, opened the door, and walked out. I walked out of the house and walked forward quickly. The reason why I suddenly changed my mind was very simple. Just as Jiang Jian said, the crime he cannot get rid of under the law is actually just breaking into the house without permission. As for a cunning murderer, he was scared to death because of his appearance.Is that his responsibility?That cunning murderer has lived too long! And another very important point is that I firmly believe that Jiang Jian will really use that money to build a poor middle school, which is always a good thing.is not it? The sun shone on my eyes, which made my eyes a little stinging. I lowered my head and walked forward. The whole thing seems to be a detective story, and there is no science fiction element. Faced with the existence or non-existence of the soul, there is no conclusion at all. I am really sorry. However, it is not entirely meaningless to describe this story. This story is similar to most things related to ghosts. It starts with the discovery of ghosts, but after in-depth investigation, it is found that it is not ghosts, but people. Just because there are so many things of that kind, many people believe that ghosts do not exist, that there is no soul at all, and even if there are ghosts, ghosts cannot do anything, etc. This kind of conclusion is naturally wrong, unless all the things about ghosts are found to be caused by people, then such a conclusion can be drawn, but in fact, this is not the case. There are many records of famous ghost activities, which prove that It's not that people are doing the mischief, but indeed, it is caused by an unknown and invisible force. This kind of force is called "ghost" because human beings still don't know anything about it. Is it appropriate? The legend of ghosts has been widely circulated in ancient, modern, Chinese and foreign countries. If it does not exist in reality, but it can be said for so long, it would be a strange thing. Or someone asks, since you firmly believe in the existence of "ghosts", why don't you write a ghost story instead of a detective story?I had no choice but to smile bitterly, because human science is too superficial, so superficial that I don’t know anything about “ghosts”, so superficial that I want to imagine that there is no basis for what “ghosts” are! However, there are quite a few people who have seen ghosts, including myself, some of them are unreliable, some of them are reliable, and when there is a chance, it is interesting to choose a few reliable ones and write them down. Of course, that's for the future. (full text)
