Chapter 9: Willow Branch Beats Ghost (Part 2) Second update! Seeking patronage
(The above category is strongly recommended!! It's really, really, really cool! I really hope it can rush to the top 100 of the newcomer list...... For a spiritual and mysterious genre, being able to rush to 50 is already a very good result, right? Please make it happen!!!)
That surging flame that should have been burning upwards in a frenzy seemed to be pressed down by an invisible palm in an instant.
A faint flame formed a ring, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't break through the invisible pressure that was suppressing it from above. The flame was as strange as it could be. The villagers around saw this scene and exclaimed in shock.
Ye Yi poured the basin of urine on Dog Remnant's face, and the speed of his whip-like movements increased several times. However, this time almost all the blows landed on Dog Remnant's neck. Strange things continued to happen, the areas hit by the whip should have been red welts, but astonishingly black marks appeared instead. The black marks quickly spread like diluted ink, expanding outward from the original spot. But for some reason, the spreading blackness stopped at the base of the neck and began to surge upward toward Dog Remnant's head.
Immediately, Dogzi's entire face turned dark purple. The shouting became sharp and piercing. The barking and meowing of the surrounding dogs and cats grew even more intense. Some cats and dogs had already darted into the yard, circling around Dogzi and barking wildly.
At this time, Ye Yiyi threw away the willow branch and pulled out a shoe horn from her pocket. How did this thing not get burned yesterday? Slap slap slap slap! She started hitting Dog Leftover's occipital bone. The beating was so fierce that the people around couldn't help but curl their mouths.
A drop by drop of black, foul-smelling liquid, like crude oil from underground, began to drip down from the dog's mouth, nose, ears and even the corners of its eyes.
These things dripped into the flames, sizzling and crackling, if you didn't smell the stench, you'd think it was a barbecue. As soon as the foul odor came out, the cats and dogs around started to scatter. The cats and dogs tucked their tails and quickly left the surrounding area.
Finally, when the last drop of black stuff fell out of Gou Shizi's ear, the burning peach wood on the ground also burned out. Ye Yi then stopped his hand and said, "You can put it down now."
The old village chief led the way, and several young and strong men rushed up in a swarm, putting down the dog.
The dog's remaining child had just fallen to the ground and suddenly woke up from its stunned state, lying on the ground and letting out a cry. This cry put everyone at ease.
The villagers saw Ye Yizhi cure the dog, and some bold people wanted to ask Ye Yi to take a look at their own homes. Ye Yi all expressed refusal, and the villagers looked at the good car opened by Ye Yi again, and did not entangle anymore.
Ye Yifeng refused the village chief's request to stay for dinner. We only set fire to the willow branches and shoe horns at the entrance of the village, and then the three of us got in the car and headed back to the city.
On the road, I systematically studied various methods that Yeyizhong did over the past few days. Yeyizhong also answered all my questions. Apparently, after this matter is resolved, not only will Yeyizhong earn a large sum of money and be in a good mood, but also because he hopes I can learn something, so that we can do this business together in the future.
To be honest, I still don't understand why Ye Yi chose me. Every time I asked him a question, he just brushed it off with fate, leaving me baffled.
All the way, Ye told me about various knowledge and finally emphasized that after each time of driving out filth, I must burn all related used things, never leave them around for next use. Those used things have been contaminated, even if they are originally pure objects, they will be secretly injured. The best method is to burn them in fierce fire, thoroughly cutting off contact with the pollution source. There's another reason, once the situation of driving out filth fails and it escapes. You must burn everything related to it, and when necessary, even shave off body hair and burn clothes together to ensure personal safety.
Also on the road, the deputy captain was silent all the way. After entering the city, Ye Yi asked him where he was going, and he also asked Ye Yi to help send him to the Criminal Police Brigade before getting off the car. It was just that before getting off the car, the deputy captain still turned his head and asked Ye Yi a sentence: "Can't you really consider it?"
Yeh shook his head and said: "I charge a lot. But I can help out between friends."
"Alright." The deputy captain didn't continue to dwell on the matter that had just been settled, but instead said: "That case of dismembered body in the house I mentioned..."
"Alright, I've remembered this matter. I'll come find you here another day."
The deputy captain closed the car door and left.
I looked at the deputy captain's back and asked Ye Yi: "Why didn't you agree to help him?"
Yi Dao said, "It's not that we don't want to, but rather that we can't. Think about it, something that even the representatives of the orthodox profession can't suppress, is it something that one or two people can solve? Moreover, things that can resist these people usually represent variation."
"So it was like that!" I realized. Then I asked: "When are you planning to go to our company?"
"Take a rest for today and we'll talk about it tomorrow. I'll come to your place in the morning to pick you up."
"Do you know where I live?" I asked.
"I'll take you back now and that's all I know." Ye replied coolly to my silly question.
Back home, my mother had already prepared dinner for me. When I entered the city, I called my mom and told her that I would be back this afternoon. As I was walking into the building, I asked Ye Yi to come up and have dinner together. Ye Yi declined my invitation, got in his car and left, tossing me an envelope before he drove away. Smiling, he told me it was a hard work allowance. I took a rough estimate, at least 20,000 yuan, and I didn't hesitate, smiling as I accepted it. Who doesn't like money?
At home, I handed over the 20,000 yuan in the envelope to my mother. My mother just said a sentence to help me save it. She didn't ask me what I had been doing these days, but seeing my tired look, she also didn't say anything more.
The next morning, I was woken up by a phone call.
But it wasn't Ye Yi who woke me up this time, but rather the company's vice president.
"Where are you?" The voice on the other end of the phone was loud and chaotic.
I hastily woke up and said: "I am at home."
"Come to the company immediately. Something has happened." The deputy general manager hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
As a result, I had just put down the phone when it rang again. This time it was the deputy captain: "Yang Guang, something has happened at your cemetery."
"What?" I was shocked and only then realized that something big had happened. Otherwise, how could it have been reported to the authorities? I quickly asked the deputy captain what had happened.
The deputy captain told me he was also rushing to the scene, and would discuss the specifics when we arrived. Several people had already died.
Because I mentioned the strange incident in my area while chatting with the deputy captain yesterday, both he and I quickly thought of the tomb of the four brothers. After hanging up the phone, I rushed out of the house without even washing my face. On the way, I called Ye Yi to tell him to go to the cemetery, it's likely that there was a problem with the tomb of the four brothers.
The taxi driver sent me to the cemetery in half an hour, I didn't go back to the office, and ran straight to the tomb of the four brothers. As expected, when I arrived, the police had already sealed off the scene. The deputy captain saw me and hurriedly beckoned to me. His face looked strange.
I walked over and saw the deputy general manager was also there, so I quickly greeted him first. The deputy general manager gave me a sideways glance with an unpleasant expression, clearly the trouble that had occurred at the cemetery we sold wasn't good news for us businesspeople. And I just happened to be the one in charge, what's more annoying is that according to the deputy captain's description, the three dead men were those people sent by that old woman a few days ago when I was leaving.
What bad luck! To be honest, I'm so angry that I want to lash out at the dead. Before leaving, I told them not to touch anything. They must have ignored my advice, and now such a big thing has happened, damn it!
I asked the deputy captain: "Is there any clue?"
The deputy captain shook his head and said to me, "I've checked the scene, there's no sign of human involvement, but the method is cruel. However, there are no signs of wild beasts around, and it's impossible for such a large carnivorous animal to appear out of nowhere. We're now organizing police forces to search all zoos, breeding bases, and biological experiment companies in the city to see if they've lost any large birds of prey."
I lowered my head and whispered to the deputy captain, "Yi will be here in a moment. I'll contact the tomb owner's mother first, and then you can let Yi go in and take a look, maybe there's a way."
The deputy captain nodded and said, "What if it's that kind of thing? This report is really hard to write. You guys are too reckless."
"What's going on here, can we control this? I told those kids before I left not to touch anything. Who knew it would become like this overnight?"
The deputy captain looked back and saw that the isolated area was completely covered with blue plastic sheets, blocking our view. He said to me, "Is it related to yesterday?"
"I said: 'This is hard to say, let's wait for Ye Yi instead. Dammit, if the case is solved, I'll resign, I'm done with this job.'"
The deputy captain patted me on the shoulder in a comforting manner and turned around to head towards the scene.
As soon as the deputy captain walked away, our deputy general manager immediately beckoned me over, indicating for me to go over.
The deputy general manager had several people around him, all of whom were department heads and section chiefs. After I went over, the head of my department immediately asked me with a cold face: "What have you been doing these past few days? You're responsible for something like this happening!"
"I retorted: 'I asked for leave and you approved it, what I did is clear to you. Moreover, with something like this happening, why should I be responsible? Why doesn't the Security Department say that they were supposed to keep watch at night?'"
"How can you, as an employee, speak to a leader like that?" The deputy general manager said with a huff. I can understand his mood, but this kind of leader who rushes forward when things are going well and looks for subordinates to take the blame when something goes wrong, I really despise him.
"I said coldly: 'Alright, I quit. As for the things here, I don't want to get involved anymore. Oh right, I'll call the tomb owner's mother now, you guys negotiate among yourselves.'"
"Our department head was furious: 'You can't resign, before this matter is resolved, you must cooperate with the police investigation.'"
"Go to hell! What are you? I'm quitting and it's none of your business!" I bellowed, turning around and walking away.
I'm really fed up, I didn't expect the social atmosphere to be so rotten, from top to bottom they're all like this. At that time, I was furious and happened to see the deputy captain passing by me, I shouted at him: "Wang Zhengping."
The deputy captain looked at me and walked over to say: "What's wrong, Yang Guang?"
"I said: 'I've resigned, this matter has nothing to do with me now, right?'"
The deputy captain looked at me with a puzzled expression and said, "You don't have to resign either. This is the reason for your company's security department, it has nothing to do with you, a grave seller."
"Thanks," I said to the deputy captain.
I turned around and gave our department head a cold smile, no longer paying attention to him. Instead, I went to the scene to wait for Ye Yatou's arrival.
It wasn't until then that I had the mind to take a look at my phone's time, damn it, it wasn't even 8 o'clock yet. I was puzzled, isn't there someone from the security department patrolling at night? From reporting the case to its occurrence, it took less than three hours. How could they not have heard such a big commotion at night? Or is it that... just like what happened to us that day?
I shuddered at the thought. I was extremely uncomfortable about this matter, but I still dialed that old woman's phone number.
Then I didn't bother talking to her anymore. I just told her that all the people she sent were dead. Hurry up and come over.
