Uncle Xu, the housekeeper of the Liu family, is an old man in his late fifties. He has deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and a kind face. He usually wears a black tuxedo with a slight bow at the back. When he smiles, his eyes always narrow into one.
seam.
"Master, who is this gentleman?" Uncle Xu looked at Ling Fan with a smile on his face and said.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you, Uncle Xu, this is my high school classmate, named Ling Fan." Liu Tianlin pointed at Uncle Xu and smiled at Ling Fan: "Ling Fan, this is Uncle Xu, my dad.
The housekeeper you invited, don’t look at Uncle Xu’s age. I have to rely on Uncle Xu to take care of many things in my family.”
Ling Fan stared at the nearly fifty-year-old man in front of him with surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that at this age, he could still take care of such a large family business. He couldn't help but admire him: "Uncle Xu, you are really getting stronger with age!"
Uncle Xu squinted his eyes and looked Ling Fan up and down: "Haha, my old bones are not getting any stronger. But Master Ling is not only good at talking, but also a talented person. He will definitely be able to accomplish great things in the future."
Ling Fan laughed, and when he heard people say that he was very talented, he felt very happy. If he was given wings, he could really fly into the sky. Then Ling Fan asked Uncle Xu why he wanted to hire a security guard at home.
Uncle Xu looked at the long line of horses and horses at the door, shook his head and sighed: "My master's family has such a big business, and I heard that the city is a little uneasy recently. I heard that there have been several murders. In addition to the fat uncle, the driver, and the lawn worker, Xu Bo
Apart from Zhao Ziyang and me, a bad old man, we are all maids with little strength. If something happens, it would be safer to have a few security guards guarding the house."
Ling Fan turned around and looked at the gorgeous Western-style building behind him, as well as the beautiful fountain and the vast green courtyard next to it. Three young maids who were smiling like flowers were walking through the corridor. Ling Fan's face suddenly showed a smile
He said with a bright smile: "We do need some security guards. Even if it's just for those young women, it's not an exaggeration to hire a few more security guards, haha."
"Haha, Ling Fan, it seems that you are very concerned about a woman as beautiful as a flower." Liu Tianlin turned around and looked at the three young maids in the corridor who were secretly looking towards us, and couldn't help but pat Ling Fan on the shoulder.
"Haha, that's natural. There aren't many things to appreciate in this world. Occasionally seeing a few girls as beautiful as flowers is the greatest joy in life for me." Ling Fan's eyes remained unblinking.
Staring at the three beautiful maids.
"Okay, Uncle Xu, you can continue with your business. I'll take Ling Fan to the house to have a look." Liu Tianlin pulled Ling Fan towards the house.
If the green lawn and the beautiful fountain in the courtyard made Ling Fan open his mouth in surprise, then Ling Fan stood in the living room and his jaw almost dropped. The goose-yellow velvet carpet was spread spotlessly near.
On the floor of the bright living room of 200 square meters, several large floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the bright light outside into a brilliant rainbow. Light blue silk curtains are hung on the windows, and four crystal chandeliers hang above the snow-white hall ceiling.
, the breeze makes a crisp sound. The bread-colored sofa is placed in front of a gorgeous coffee table. There is an incense burner on the coffee table. The light smoke gradually rises from the burner, and a faint fragrance floats in the wind.
Come, it's refreshing.
Liu Tianlin leaned on the sofa, pretending to be proud, and asked Ling Fan how he felt.
"That's great. I never thought that my dormitory would look like a doghouse compared to this place!" Ling Fan turned around and looked around and sighed.
At this time, a middle-aged woman with a short stature and a beige apron walked up to Liu Tianlin, bowed and asked: "Young man, what do you want to eat tonight? I will prepare it later."
"Feng Ma, let's add some dishes tonight. He is my classmate, his name is Ling Fan, and he will have dinner with us tonight." Liu Tianlin pointed at Ling Fan and smiled at Feng Ma.
"Oh, it turns out to be Master Ling. I wonder what Master Ling likes to eat?" Feng's mother looked at Ling Fan and asked politely.
"Haha, don't call me Young Master or Young Master. I'm just a poor high school student. Feng Ma, you don't have to worry about me, just do whatever you want." Ling Fan said haha.
"Yes." Feng Ma bowed and walked towards the kitchen.
Ling Fan continued to admire the furnishings in the large living room. Suddenly, a brown decoration hanging on the wall in the corner of the living room caught Ling Fan's attention. Ling Fan took the thing off the wall and looked at it carefully. Suddenly
His expression changed slightly because he discovered that the horn was actually made of human calf bones.
Liu Tianlin saw the horn Ling Fan was holding and walked over quickly, snatched it from Ling Fan's hand, and said in a somewhat unnatural tone: "This is my dad's thing. It is said that my dad bought it when he traveled to Tibet.
As a souvenir, my dad said this thing can dispel evil spirits, so I hung it in the living room. It’s better not to take it off easily.” Liu Tianlin then hung up the human bone horn again.
Ling Fan was very strange about Liu Tianlin's behavior. He found that his expression was a little abnormal and there was a hint of fear. It seemed that this horn was really not a good thing. Just as Ling Fan was about to speak, a sound of footsteps came from outside the stairs.
Sure enough, two middle-aged men came down the stairs talking and laughing.
Liu Qiang's father Liu Zhenhai is a tall and strong middle-aged man, but his eyes are bloodshot at this time, and his face is slightly pale, as if he has just recovered from a serious illness. His face is very haggard. If you tell others, now
If the man in front of him was the man who had become extremely rich overnight, no one would believe that he would be such a haggard man.
"Dad, you are at home. I thought you and Uncle Fat were out on business!" Liu Tianlin looked at a middle-aged man in a gray suit in front of him and said with a smile.
Then she suddenly discovered that there was a pale middle-aged man in a black suit standing next to her. Liu Tianlin forced an embarrassing smile on her face and said: "It turns out that Boss Chang is here too. Did he come to my dad again to discuss antiques?"
Yeah? Haha..."
"Tian Lin! How can you talk to Boss Chang like this? How many times have I told you, when you see Boss Chang, you have to call him Uncle Chang! He is your father's good friend in the past. You can't be rude to him." Liu Zhenhai frowned,
She seemed a little angry at Liu Tianlin's attitude towards Boss Chang.
"I'm sorry, Dad, I will pay attention to it in the future. Uncle Chang, let's have dinner at home tonight. I also want to ask you for some antique knowledge." Liu Tianlin quickly changed the subject and smiled.
"Okay, but I can't do it today. I have something else to do. I'll bring you some good things for my nephew to talk about it some other day." Boss Chang stared at Liu Tianlin with narrowed eyes and smiled. Boss Chang was
A thin middle-aged man, his eyes often flashed with cunning light, and he always put his hands in his pockets, as if there was a big pearl inside.
"Tianlin, who is this?" Liu Zhenhai asked, looking at Ling Fan standing behind Liu Tianlin.
"Hey, uncle, I am Tianlin's high school classmate. My name is Ling Fan." Ling Fan said with a smile brighter than the sun.
"Tian Lin, why are you still here? Why don't you take Ling Fan to your bedroom quickly!!" Liu Zhenhai was obviously very angry with Liu Tianlin, but Ling Fan felt that Boss Chang's eyes were fixed on Liu Tianlin like a slit.
His body looked like he wanted to eat him in one bite.
Liu Zhenhai looked at Boss Chang staring at Liu Tianlin, coughed loudly, and signaled Liu Tianlin to disappear from him and Boss Chang!
"Yes! Dad! I will take Ling Fan to the bedroom right now!!" Liu Tianlin was not angry at all, but obediently dragged Ling Fan towards her room.
Liu Tianlin slammed her bedroom door shut with a bang, her whole back pressed against the door panel, breathing heavily, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Ling Fan turned his head and looked at the frightened Liu Tianlin, and couldn't help but wonder why Liu Tianlin looked so miserable. Liu Tianlin quickly turned away, said it was okay, and forced a forced smile to change the subject: "...
..Ling Fan, look, this is my bedroom, what do you think?"
Although Ling Fan was filled with countless questions, it was better not to ask. It was not a good habit to pry into other people's privacy. After Ling Fan walked around Liu Tianlin's spacious and gorgeous bedroom twice, he suddenly said: "That's right.
, I'm still a little bit surprised, what kind of windfall did my uncle make, and how did he become so rich all of a sudden? Let me take it as a reference." Ling Fan looked at Liu Tianlin and said with a smile.
Liu Tianlin was obviously not surprised by Ling Fan's sudden question, but her face changed slightly: "I'm not sure about this either. Every time I asked my dad before, he said he made a big deal with his friend.
So I made some money."
Ling Fan smiled and said: "It is possible to make money, but it is too much. In my opinion, such a mansion can almost enter the ranks of the top three hundred richest people in China."
Suddenly Liu Tianlin jumped up from the bed and paced back and forth in the room with an extremely nervous expression. Then she grabbed Ling Fanchen tightly: "Ling Fan, I want to tell you something. If I don't tell you,
I think even if I am not killed, I will die of suffocation in such a frightened day." Liu Tianlin's face showed an extremely excited and frightened look, as if she might die at any time.
Ling Fan was originally curious about Liu Tianlin's weird expression today, but he didn't have the nerve to ask. Now he took the initiative to tell himself that it was exactly what he wanted. It seems that people still like to pry into other people's privacy.
Liu Tianlin did not say anything immediately, but ran to the bedroom door and gently opened it, peeked out, and then closed the door again after making sure no one was there. Then she hurried to the window and closed the curtains tightly.
Then he let out a long breath: "Ling Fan, I still want to ask you, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?!"
The sudden appearance of the word "ghost" shocked Ling Fan, and his thoughts immediately connected to the three recent cases of dismemberment and amputation that were suspected of being caused by evil spirits.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Liu Tianlin's frightened face, and she said with a trembling voice: "I saw a ghost!! A red ghost!!"
Ling Fan's eyes were wide open, shining with excitement like two crystal gems. He held Liu Tianlin's arm tightly and said excitedly: "What did you just say? Did you see a ghost!!?"
"That's right, this kind of thing didn't happen before, but since my dad suddenly became rich, some strange things and sounds have often appeared in the house for no reason." Liu Tianlin's body seemed to have lost its skeleton, and she lay flat on the bed helplessly, her eyes dead.
Staring at the ceiling, "This matter has been in my heart for a long time. I have never dared to tell others, for fear that others would laugh at me. Do you know? I have been having nightmares recently, dreaming about that man covered in blood.
ghost!!"
"Tianlin, can you tell me what you saw and heard? Maybe I can help you?!" Ling Fan felt that what Liu Tianlin saw must be related to him.
There were clues related to the two cases. The clue he was looking for was finally found. He took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement that was about to burst out.
"You won't believe me if I tell you! It was one night a week ago, when it was nearly one o'clock in the morning, I heard a sound coming from the courtyard in my sleep, so I quietly crawled in from the bed and opened the door.
I opened a corner of the curtain and looked outside!! Ling Fan, do you know what I saw?! It was a ghost! A ghost covered in blood! And it was holding something in its hand. Can you imagine what it was?!
It's a broken human arm! A bloody arm!" At the end of the sentence, Liu Tianlin almost shouted out, and the fear that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time was finally released.
If Ling Fan was as excited as Liu Tianlin at this time, the red ghost who had been searching so hard finally found a witness, who turned out to be his high school classmate. It seems that he really came to the right place today! Ling Fan
Seeing Liu Tianlin's excited and crazy expression, she quickly pressed Liu Tianlin's shoulders to tell him to calm down, "Haha... How can I calm down!? How can you understand the fear I felt at that time if you didn't see that scene!?"
Liu Tianlin, on the other hand, grabbed Ling Fan's arm tightly, her voice trembling: "It was dark that night, and that human-like thing dragged a broken arm and walked step by step, and blood flowed all over the floor!!
In order to stabilize Liu Tianlin's mood and cooperate with his work, Ling Fan told Liu Tianlin his other identity. As expected, Liu Tianlin looked at Ling Fan in surprise with a suspicious look on his face.
"That's right, I am the temporary forensic doctor of the Police City Hall's Hit-Special Operations Group. I am specifically responsible for this 'Red Ghost Dismemberment and Amputation Case'. Three citizens have been killed and amputated, and the only survivor is
The reporter has also gone insane, so our clues are cut off, and you will be our only clue! Tianlin, I hope you can come back to the Hit headquarters with me, we need your help!" Ling Fan's eyes flashed.
The light of excitement.
"No!!" Liu Tianlin pushed Ling Fan away who was pressing her shoulders, huddled tightly and said tremblingly: "I don't want to be a witness! You are all idiots, even you! You know you
What are you facing? It’s a ghost! It’s something beyond ordinary people!! How can you defeat it!?”
Ling Fan lost his usual gentleness and immediately rushed forward, picked up Liu Tianlin, pressed her against the wall, and shouted in a deep voice: "I'll tell you again, there are no ghosts in this world! There are just people pretending to be ghosts.
Just carrying out some ulterior conspiracy! We must find it, otherwise more people will be killed, Tianlin, we need your help! And..."
Ling Fan paused for a moment, then raised his head again and stared at Liu Tianlin, saying: "And my brother also died because of it, so I vowed to solve this case and bring the guy pretending to be a red ghost to justice."
Law!!"
Liu Tianlin squeezed out a bitter smile on her distorted face and said: "Ling Fan, do you really think you can fight it?!"
Ling Fan stared into Liu Tianlin's eyes and said resolutely: "I believe that the power of justice can always defeat evil. As long as we can unite together, even if it is a ghost, we will completely eradicate it from this world!!"
Perhaps influenced by Ling Fan's determined gaze and confident words, Liu Shouqiang finally smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, I promise, I will go back with you and tell you everything I heard and know!"
