Zhang Chi is already dead, and he chose to die together with the ferocious beast Taotie.
He is a good man and a good policeman.
While alive, he sacrificed himself as an undercover agent, and even after death, he chose to die with Taotie for the sake of human choice.
If he were still in the shop, he would definitely find out the cause of the man's death.
I am not a meddlesome person, and as a shady errand, I have sent countless ghosts down, so people have long been numb.
But today, facing this ghost, I really want to find out how he died.
The first reason is because I thought of Zhang Chi, and the other reason is because of the conversation I had with Ying Gou this morning.
If I am numb to life and death, can I still be considered a real person?
"How did you die?" I asked the man after taking a sip of tea.
The man was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little surprised by my question.
"Are you a policeman?" he asked me with some confusion.
I shook my head and said, "I'm not, but I have a friend who is. If you have any grievances, you can tell me and I will help you if I can."
"You just said you were killed. Is that true?"
I continued to ask him.
The man nodded and said, "Yes, I was killed."
"Oh, who is your murderer and why did he kill you?" I continued to ask him.
Who knew that he smiled bitterly, and then said: "It's meaningless, even if I tell you this, it's meaningless."
"Don't you want revenge, don't you want your murderer to be brought to justice?" I looked at the man strangely and asked him.
People who die unjustly usually have resentment in their hearts and want to seek revenge on their enemies. Those ghosts usually have a lot of resentment in them.
But there was something about this man that was beyond my expectations.
Because I couldn't see any resentment in him. In short, he was very calm, as if he had settled his grudges and died naturally.
Moreover, the tone of his speech was very calm, as if he was not talking about his own affairs at all, but about others.
"Haha, I've been dead for fifteen years, what's the point of even saying it?" the man said lightly.
Fifteen years!
I couldn't help but frown when I heard this.
There are countless unsolved human cases in this world, some of which may never be solved for years, ten years, decades, or even forever.
Because the police are not omnipotent after all, you cannot expect all cases to be solved.
Of course, now that science and technology are becoming more and more advanced, the detection rate of cases is also increasing year by year. There are even many unresolved cases that have come back into people's view due to the emergence of psychological evidence.
"Tell me about it, I'm different now, maybe I can really help you." I said to him.
It’s been fifteen years, which is not a short period of time.
The most important thing is that many things can change in fifteen years. For example, witnesses and physical evidence may no longer be in this world.
"When I first discovered the problem, I made various reports, but to no avail. After my death, I was trapped in that place for fifteen years. I looked past everything. There was nothing left to say and no lingering grievances.
"The man sighed and said lightly.
I frowned and noticed the meaning of the man's words.
He died fifteen years ago, but he did not enter the underworld, nor did he become a harmful ghost.
This was very confusing to me.
Because it is extremely difficult for a ghost to stay in the human world. If you want to keep your soul alive, you can only become a evil ghost that harms others.
But he had been dead for fifteen years, and now he came to the underworld to find Yin Chao, and he didn't have any resentment on him.
This was very confusing to me. Now after hearing his words, I finally understood that he was trapped by someone.
For the past fifteen years, his ghost has been trapped somewhere, unable to come out, and naturally unable to be reincarnated.
That means that when he died, he was trapped somewhere.
The person who killed him was afraid that he would seek revenge after his death, so he used this method.
Generally, those who use this method will directly prevent him from reincarnation forever.
Judging from the man's condition, something must have happened that caused him to come out of the seal.
Otherwise, he would have been sealed for fifteen years, and in a few more years his soul might be gone, and he would never be reincarnated.
I looked at him, and although his expression was calm, I could see that his eyes were not the tranquility after seeing everything, but despair, despair for this world.
"Let's talk about it, we may encounter many desperate things in this life, but you have to remember that this world is not only filled with darkness, but also with light. You must believe that there is hope for everything."
I looked at him and said slowly, but after I finished speaking, I realized that these words were actually full of literary accent.
"Okay, that's good, sir!"
Just when I was reminiscing about my literary accent, there was a sudden shout from next to me.
Then that guy Zhang Zhong stood up and slapped him with a flattering look on his face.
I frowned slightly and sighed in my heart, thinking that Zhang Zhong seems to still need some training. His skills are far behind those of a veteran.
This kind of forced flattery not only doesn't make people feel good at all, it's even a little disgusting.
And the current situation is not suitable for flattery.
"Your uncle's!"
When the old Taoist saw my expression, he knew that Zhang Zhong's flattery had hit the horse's leg, so he kicked him.
Woo woo.....
That guy Zhang Zhong was kicked to the ground, and he looked at the old man pitifully, not daring to talk nonsense anymore.
I nodded with satisfaction, he must be an experienced person, and he won my heart!
"Tell me about it." I continued to say to the man.
"Okay, there's no loss anyway, but before I say it, I've been dead for fifteen years, and my family never thinks I'm dead. They just think I'm missing, so I don't have any money to give you." He said seriously.
"Ahem, money doesn't matter at all." I waved my hand with a serious look on my face.
Zhang Zhong on the side raised his head pitifully and glanced at me, feeling cursed in his heart.
Money is not a big deal, but you were very clear when you accepted the two million from me!
"I don't want your money, I just want to know what happened to you back then. If you really have a grievance, I will do my best to help you."
Now that you've pretended to be high-profile, let's pretend it till the end.
But to be honest, this feeling of pretending to be a saint is really good. No wonder so many people in this world like to pretend to be cool in front of others. It turns out that what they want is this kind of sacred feeling that can move them.
"I am the accountant of Zhaojia Village, Dongliu Town, Jishui. Fifteen years ago, our village chief illegally occupied and resold farmland in the village and misappropriated the country's poverty alleviation funds. I couldn't stand it, so I reported him."
When he said this, he sighed and then fell silent.
I didn't speak or ask him. I knew that something must have happened back then that he couldn't let go of now.
"But I kept reporting, but there was no response at all. Later I found out that the village chief's brother-in-law worked in the town and blocked all my reporting letters.
After knowing this, I was unwilling to accept it and planned to go to the county to report it.
That night, the village chief arranged for me to be on duty at the village committee. At night, a group of people rushed into the village committee, put sacks on me and buried me alive under the willow tree at the head of the village.
He was afraid that my ghost would seek revenge on him, so he used a magic weapon to seal me underneath, thinking that I would be sealed until my soul was gone.
But two days ago, the big willow tree was chopped off by lightning, and the town object lost its function, so I was able to get out."
After hearing what he said, I took out my cigarette, lit it, and then looked at the man with squinted eyes: "Is that village chief still alive?"
"He is still alive, and he is still living well. He embezzled so much money back then, and his family is not short of money," the man said.
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely help you get justice and let the people who deserve it get their retribution. You can go to the underworld with peace of mind." I said to him.
After hearing my words, the man's face showed a hint of unexpected joy, and then he bowed to me and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. It is the responsibility of each of us to eliminate violence, punish evil and promote good." I said.
The man smiled and nodded to me, and then walked towards the gate of the underworld with a peaceful look on his face.
