i have three shadows

Chapter 42

Xu Xingxing was startled: "This..."

Jian Qingzhu frowned and said nothing.

Zheng Yi glanced at him without showing any signs, and explained: "There have been such precedents before. Some psychic girls, most of whom don't know that they are psychic, can recruit ghosts. Some people are easy to attract hungry ghosts. Some people are easy to recruit fierce ghosts, and naturally others will recruit lustful ghosts. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Xu Xingxing said, "But I always feel a little..."

"Unbelievable." Jian Qingzhu said.

Zheng Yi nodded and looked at Xu Xingxing: "I know you understand. It's against ethics for evil spirits to have sex with people, but it's not impossible to conceive a child."

"Why?" Xu Xingxing asked, "Isn't your family a master of psychics for generations? Why can't you even guard against a ghost?"

Zheng Yi was silent for a while, and said: "At that time, because of my mother, my little sister had a falling out with the family, and she didn't live at home for the time being. Maybe she was taken advantage of. It may also be... a trap and curse from the enemy."

"Can this kind of ghost child not be killed?" Xu Xingxing asked.

Zheng Yi nodded: "The ghost baby is one body with the mother, if you want to kill it, you have to kill the younger sister."

Xu Xingxing and Jian Qingzhu looked at each other, and looked at him with concern: "I know your choice, you are breaking the law."

Zheng Yi smiled, the kind of tolerant smile when facing innocent juniors, but with a hint of not expecting to be understood: "Yes. The family has issued an order."

Jian Qingzhu took over the words: "Are you the executioner?"

"Why?" Xu Xingxing asked.

"The executioner was pointed out by the gods, there is no reason." Zheng Yi said, "God's will."

"But you let her go?" Xu Xingxing asked.

Zheng Yi was silent for a longer time this time, and finally took a sip of wine, and said in a vigorous voice: "I found a place where no one in the family could find, and let her give birth to the child. Get rid of that kid. But that kid was too cute."

"I couldn't bear it later, so I left the child at the gate of the orphanage. I went back and told her that the child was dead, and I wanted her to return to the family with me, admit my mistake, and save my life."

Xu Xingxing said: "As far as I know Teacher Liu, she is very stubborn."

"Yes." Zheng Yi smiled wryly, "She said she hated me, and ran away after a while while I wasn't looking. I didn't expect that she would find that child again in the end."

"Is there someone to help her?" Xu Xingxing asked.

Zheng Yi looked at Xu Xingxing lovingly: "Your father."

Xu Xingxing was stunned.

Zheng Yi raised the corner of his mouth: "It was your father who saved her and my niece."

There was momentary silence in the private room, no embarrassment, it's just that words always lose their power at certain moments.

Finally, Xu Xingxing asked in a daze: "Then Liu Yu...is he really the child of a ghost and a human?"

Zheng Yi smiled: "Of course not. The children of ghosts and humans have been heard of a lot, but few have seen them. If it is true, how could it be possible to grow up so safely."

"Then..." Xu Xingxing was puzzled, "Is it okay to just say no?"

"You are stupid." Jian Qingzhu took the words, "Ms. Liu is the one who wants to be the patriarch, and she said that she is with a ghost, then maybe Uncle Zheng will save her and her daughter's life, so naturally he will. That man died, but if she told the truth, even if she saved herself, her daughter and that man would definitely die."

He turned to Zheng Yi: "Uncle Zheng, am I right?"

Zheng Yi: "No, you are very perceptive. It's not a big deal for a psychic to curse a person. Even if there is a curse from heaven, there are ways to deal with it, but the blood of the family cannot be tarnished."

Xu Xingxing frowned, and waited for a long time before asking: "It means that Teacher Liu lied to protect her lover?"

Seeing that Zheng Yi didn't speak, he knew that this was the default meaning, so he whispered again: "What kind of person must that man be to make Mr. Liu so determined? Does he know what happened to Mr. Liu later? He Are you sad when you find out?"

Zheng Yi laughed again: "You guessed wrong, there are so many lovers in the world."

Xu Xingxing really had nothing to say, the information was a little hard to digest.

Zheng Yi didn't give them a chance to breathe, and said bluntly: "I investigated later, when the man was with the younger sister, he already had a family, and he is still living a good life, rich and powerful. The man himself I have a son, so I don't want to recognize Xiaoyu, let alone my younger sister. That child is in your three middle school, named Wu Peng."

"My God." Xu Xingxing sighed, then turned to look at Jian Qingzhu.

Jian Qingzhu was also a little surprised.

In this way, it makes sense. Why Wu Peng hates Liu Yu so much is not only because he likes Huang Lili, but Huang Lili hates Liu Yu.

It was even more because Liu Yu was his half-sister or younger sister.

What a coincidence.

Liu Yu's life was really hard, and somehow he was responsible for a lot of blame. His mother, good friend, and enemy overwhelmed him.

The whole world is overwhelmed.

But she still lived so stubbornly, she was struggling in the mud, and she still didn't forget to drag someone, even though the person she wanted to drag hated her all the time.

Die is already the most dignified and least hurtful choice for her.

Although it is with the mentality of wanting to take revenge on my mother, it can only make people feel more distressed.

Kind of silly.

"How could this be?" Xu Xingyi put things together and couldn't help sighing.

Zheng Yi smiled bitterly, like an adult deliberately bullying a child, with a tone of ridicule or something: "I watched you grow up with hardships, and you can't see human hearts and ghosts." Less, why don’t you know enough about the maliciousness of reality? What’s there to be surprised about? Isn’t this very common?”

Xu Xingxing opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"You are wrong, Uncle Zheng." Jian Qingzhu shook his head and said seriously, "I have experienced a lot of malice myself, but every time I see malice, I still find it unbelievable, which shows that he is pure and kind. He is willing to treat everything as It is good, and I am willing to hope that everyone’s life is good. Some people think they are mature and see everything, so they look at everything from the evil side of human nature, which is a kind of sadness.”

Zheng Yixiao: "But it is easy to be hurt like this, and sooner or later you will be disappointed. Because the world will not change for the better just because you believe it will."

Jian Qingzhu also smiled: "But this is his most precious place, isn't it? If you didn't take a fancy to this, why bother to value him so much? Why bother to tell us about private affairs? You have already suffered a lot of injuries, a man Man, how can he get hurt so easily? Besides, I will protect him."

Xu Xingxing was stunned. Why didn't he say anything, and these two people dissected themselves in front of him?

Am I such a person?

He couldn't help thinking about it, but at the same time he was surprised by Jian Qingzhu's evaluation of himself.

What exactly does this mean?

Still acting?

Still dutifully playing the role of boyfriend?

He felt a little confused.

I saw Zheng Yi picked up the wine bottle, poured a glass for Jian Qingzhu involuntarily, then touched him self-consciously, and said, "Good boy."

Then it dried up in one gulp.

With a smile, Jian Qingzhu glanced at Xu Xingxing with sparkling eyes, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Xu Xingxing: "..."

How come there is a feeling of being inexplicably arranged?

"The vegetables are cold after eating." Zheng Yi said.

So the three of them held their bowls, stopped talking, and ate hard for a while.

After eating almost, Zheng Yi took out a notebook and pushed it to the two of them: "After the blood curse was solved, I finished talking about Liu Ren and Liu Yu as promised. Now let's talk about the murderer behind all this."

"Oh." Xu Xingxing sighed, "Mr. Gao."

Zheng Yi: "I found several paintings and some photos in her house, all of which contained the souls of young girls. Most of them were raped and then committed suicide. Some were raped by people, and some were ghosts."

He paused: "One of them is special, she was only 13 years old when she died, and she was Gao Lingling's daughter."

The two looked at each other in horror, and were silent for a moment.

After a long time, Xu Xingxing asked, "What about Liu Yu and Fang Yue?"

Zheng Yi said: "Liu Yu's soul has also been found, and the souls of a dozen girls have been handed over to Lingguan by myself."

"You have really done a lot these two nights." Jian Qingzhu said.

Xu Xingxing glanced at him and suddenly felt guilty.

With a calm face, Zheng Yi said, "Where is the accusation." Then he pointed to the notebook: "Let's take a look."

Xu Xingxing dragged the notebook over, opened it, and saw that the first half was full of lists. He was shocked when he saw that there were many names in it that he had seen last night.

He glanced at Zheng Yi from the corner of his eye, only to see Zheng Yi's expression was normal.

It seems that Jian Qingzhu still doesn't trust her.

Xu Xingxing didn't say much, just pointed to the list on the other side: "These are the ones she wants to harm but haven't harmed yet?"

Zheng Yi nodded.

"What is she doing with these souls?" Jian Qingzhu asked.

Zheng Yi replied: "It's probably because I'm ready to torture enough, and then use it to make alchemy, or it may be some kind of formation, I don't know."

"It's outrageous." Jian Qingzhu commented.

Xu Xingxing wanted to push the notebook back, but inserted his fingers into the second half of the book. After looking casually, he found that there were still words behind it.

He froze for a moment, then dragged it back and flipped it open, only to find that it was the distress signal throughout the article.

The handwriting on it was very scribbled, as if the person who wrote it was in great pain.

"help me!"

"help me!"

"Help!"

"There are ghosts here! Who will save me!"

"!!!"

Xu Xingxing felt that something was a little weird, but he couldn't remember it, so he turned his head to look at Jian Qingzhu, and seeing Jian Qingzhu also frowned, he didn't know what he was thinking.

He looked at Zheng Yi: "Uncle Zheng, can I take a photo?"

Zheng Yi said: "Whatever you want. Just don't spread the word."

Xu Xingxing nodded, took out his phone and took a picture of this page, his hands shaking a little.

After a meal until the afternoon, Xu Xingxing finally asked a question: "What kind of punishment will Fang Qing and Liu Yu receive respectively? Where is Wu Peng?"

Zheng Yi thought for a while, and said, "Fang Qing won't die for the time being, it's up to her fate, but she was controlled by evil spirits, and she must be charged by the underworld in the future. As for Xiaoyu, her suicide... ...You should know that I can't do anything about it. If Wu Peng says it, the police on the ground will deal with it, and I guess there may be special discipline. This time the incident is so big that it's not easy for you three middle schools to do it, and you can't hide a lot of things I can’t hide it, after the police intervene, it’s not just about money and power.”

"It deserves it." Jian Qingzhu said, "Whoever let the school be greedy for money will cause trouble."

Zheng Yi smiled: "Yes, you deserve it."

The two clinked glasses again.

Xu Xingxing: "..."

"Come on, a group of children." Zheng Yi stretched out his hand and poured him a glass as well, and smiled mischievously, "Your sister is not at home today, you will definitely not be scolded, we two go away!"

Xu Xingxing raised his eyebrows, raised his cup and bumped it against him, and drank it down in one gulp.

The serious adult image of the bearded man in his heart has completely disappeared.

Feeling dizzy at the end of the drink, Xu Xingxing stretched out Erkang's hand again: "No no no stop drinking! There is still class tomorrow!"

"Oh, I forgot." Zheng Yi smiled, and bumped the glass with him again, "Come on, the last one."

Jian Qingzhu still looked sober, and when Xu Xingxing left the restaurant, he also looked sober.

Zheng Yi gave some instructions, and even though the distance was not far away, he forced the two of them into a taxi, gave them money, and told the driver to take them home.

After seeing the taxi leave, he turned and walked towards the side road.

When the car arrived at the intersection of Tanghua Street, the two thanked the driver and walked down the street.

At the door, Jian Qingzhu stopped, Xu Xingxing also stopped, Jian Qingzhu looked at him suspiciously: "Go back."

Xu Xingxing looked at him with confused eyes, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about.

Jian Qingzhu raised her eyebrows, thinking that Zheng Yi really liked Xu Xingxing.Afterwards, he didn't drink much, and he saw Zheng Yi and Xu Xingxing kept clinking glasses.

It's also because he didn't drink much.

This person didn't seem to be drunk, but he was already unconscious.

Jian Qingzhu asked again: "Where's the key?"

Xu Xingxing understood this time, turned over on his body for a long time, but he was still sober: "I didn't bring it."

The two of them stared wide-eyed, and the aunt from the mahjong hall next to him came out to join in the fun again: "Oh, Xu Xingxing didn't bring the key? Hahaha!"

Jian Qingzhu smiled at her, struggled for a while, took out the key, and opened the door of her house.

Xu Xingxing followed behind, taking advantage of the situation and closing the door, Jian Qingzhu only took two steps when she heard a plop from behind.

He turned around and was happy: "Hey, my son, get up quickly, what kind of gift is this?"

Xu Xingxing should have been drunk long ago, but he didn't respond to what he said, and knelt on the ground.

The aftertaste of drinking is strong, and it is not easy to last until home.

Jian Qingzhu laughed for a long time, and then went to help him up after laughing, dragged him upstairs, and threw him on the single sofa again.

He was about to stand up, but Xu Xingxing grabbed him by the collar.

One might as well, the two fell into the sofa together.

"I'm crushing you, you idiot!" Jian Qingzhu roared, and put her hand on the armrest of the sofa for a while.

Xu Xingxing smiled foolishly, the two were very close, he reached out to poke Jian Qingzhu's face, but his eyes were dizzy, and finally poked it on his lips.

"Why so soft?" He asked in surprise.

Jian Qingzhu: "..."
