"What did you say?" Sheriff Li immediately frowned and said sternly, "Where do you think this is?" He slapped the pen on the table, tapped the table with his fingers and said, "I'll handcuff you over there...
…Are you invited to tell a story?”
"What? Officer, are you in a hurry to get off work?" Feng Bujue said, "Anyway, after finishing the record for me, we still have to go to the hospital for a checkup (whether we have infectious diseases, whether we have a history of drug abuse), and wait until the results come out.
Sent to the detention center...it's been back and forth, and you won't be able to go back until dawn." He raised his eyes and looked at the ceiling, "Haha...I think you have plenty of time."
"I'm just saying that you're just doing what you do all the time..." Sheriff Li glared at Brother Jue and muttered, "You are more familiar with our case handling process than the few newbies I brought along!"
"I'll reiterate..." Feng Bujue replied calmly, "I... so far, I have no criminal record."
Chief Li was not a jobber. When he heard this for the second time, he understood something: "Haha... that is to say..." He paused for half a second, "You may not have committed a crime.
Right?" He sneered and said, "Besides... just because you don't have a criminal record, doesn't it mean you haven't been in the police department, right?" He subconsciously looked around, "I'm just saying... you just opened your mouth and asked me...
Not a new guy? Hezhu, you’re not looking for the police number, but your face, right?”
"That's not true..." Feng Bujue shook his head and said, "Your bureau's personnel transfers are relatively frequent, and I haven't been invited as a guest for a while recently. Not every face is recognized...for example
Said that the concierge, Lao Zhang, has recently changed into a new apprentice..."
Snapped--
Sheriff Li stood up as soon as he slapped the table, grabbed Feng Bujue's collar and said, "I advise you to understand the current situation!"
"I'm very aware of the 'current' situation." Feng Bujue remained calm even when someone grabbed him by the collar, "That's why I feel confident~" He tilted his head and looked at the camera probe in the corner of the ceiling, "As far as I know,
After 2030, the composition of the police force in City S has been basically finalized as - 90% police academy graduates. Plus 9% personnel from the army and other government agencies. Specially recruited personnel from society will no longer be 1%.
...Compared with the past period when the personnel structure was more complicated, the overall quality of the police force has improved a lot now, and in terms of discipline and standards... it is also very reassuring. As for the random beating and scolding of prisoners at the end of the last century,
Even the phenomenon of having to fight for a job is like a fairy tale 'now'."
When Brother Jue said this, Chief Li had already let go of his hand, but still looked at him angrily.
"Ha..." Feng Bujue smiled, "I know. It's getting more and more difficult for you to enforce the law now. Even if you really encounter rogues, you can't take action. Even big cases have to be based on evidence, otherwise they have to be based on innocence.
The principle of presumption frees people." He shrugged, "Indeed... some social scum just deserve to be beaten. The 'court system' has both disadvantages and advantages, but if we discuss this topic in depth, it will be more helpless... We still face reality.
Sit down and talk calmly."
When Brother Jue spoke, Sheriff Li looked into his eyes, but he could not detect the slightest hint of cowardice. The Sheriff understood that...even if he was a habitual criminal who often got into trouble, underneath his arrogance on the surface, deep down he was still feeling "fearless".
". The look in Brother Jue's eyes at this moment generally represents two situations - first, he has indeed committed no crime; second, he believes that he will never be punished by law.
The former situation shows that Feng Bujue is innocent; while the latter situation... shows that he has a certain "background". Of course, there is another possibility... that this person is a mentally disturbed lunatic.
"Huh..." Chief Li sat down again and lit a cigarette for himself. After he exhaled, he continued, "Tell me...I'll just listen to your story."
He did not pick up a pen. Instead, he raised a cigarette. Obviously, when the word "female ghost" came up, there was no need for him to make any written records. But since the person involved insisted on saying such a thing based on a supernatural theory
It wouldn't hurt for him to listen to the story above.
"Officer, what's your name?" Feng Bujue asked with a smile when he saw the other party sitting down.
"The surname is Li." Chief Li replied.
"Officer Li." Feng Bujue followed suit, "Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"
"I believe what I saw with my own eyes." Chief Li's answer was shrewd.
"Ha...Okay." Feng Bujue smiled calmly, "Actually...most of the ghosts wandering around the world are not scary. Ordinary people can't see them, and they can't interfere with our world.
.The vast majority of them cannot even maintain their own existence... During the day, they are in an incorporeal and unconscious state. The time they can transform into 'visible ghosts' is from midnight to three in the morning every day.
Three hours. And even during this time, their spirits are 'bound' in a certain area... such as the cemetery where they died, the place where they lost their lives, or the places they often visited during their lives... Jane
In other words, it is impossible for ghosts to run around the world and harm people."
"As expected of a novelist, the writing is quite similar." Sheriff Li responded noncommittally. When filling in the information, he already knew Brother Jue's occupation, so he gave this answer.
Feng Bujue ignored Chief Li's sarcasm and continued: "The one I met today is different from ordinary ghosts..."
"Haha...really?" Chief Li took another puff of his cigarette, "I'm glad you can see that?"
Feng Bujue's attitude was still very calm, and he continued to talk to himself: "Those ghosts who are stuck in the human world and cannot die usually have unfulfilled wishes. And 'unfulfilled wishes' can generally be divided into two situations... One
One is that there is still attachment to certain people or things in life, and the other... is that there is hatred or resentment that has not gone away..." He paused for a second and then said, "There are many reasons for resentment, such as...
...The person who killed this ghost did not receive due punishment, or the evil person who once bullied this ghost did not receive any retribution, etc. I believe you have also read horror novels or horror movies. I will not enumerate the specific plots.
."
"I've read a lot of mystery novels. How about you talk about the case?" Sheriff Li replied.
Feng Bujue still ignored his interference and continued: "Women are more likely to turn into ghosts than men. Because they are more emotional and find it difficult to let go of many things." His tone changed slightly, "If there is a woman who becomes a ghost during the Yin period,
If she dies unexpectedly and is wearing a red dress that easily incites resentment, what will she become... You can probably guess it without me telling her."
"Uh-" Chief Li blew out smoke. "Is this what you encountered today?"
"To be precise, we met yesterday." Feng Bujue corrected, "It's past midnight now."
"Go on." Chief Li flicked the cigarette ashes on the ground next to him.
"According to the "Book of the Dead", a person's soul will return to visit him on the seventh day after his death..." Feng Bujue continued, "This night, whether it is a fierce ghost or a lonely ghost, all will
Has considerable magical power..."
"Wait...why is this?" Perhaps it was the effect of nicotine. Chief Li seemed to be gradually attracted by Brother Jue's topic and became interested.
"Because there are many people who believe in the 'First Seven', especially us Chinese... Regardless of whether they admit it on the surface or not, deep down in their hearts, the vast majority of people have a vague illusion about these superstitious things." Feng Bubu said.
Jue replied, "You have to know... the act of 'believing' is itself a kind of 'power'. The entities of many 'urban legends' are just monsters with general magical powers. But things have spread widely, and people who believe in them
The more... they become more and more powerful. This is the so-called 'power of faith'... Theoretically speaking, 'God' is the ultimate embodiment of this power."
"Hmph..." Chief Li scoffed at this. "I still believe in Marxism. Why haven't I seen Lao Ma turn into a monster and come out to eat people?"
"Are you sure?" Feng Bujue showed a strange smile.
Chief Li's expression changed.
"Perhaps, as early as many years ago, 'it' has become a physical thing. And there is more than one... It has existed to this day, devouring countless lives. And its exclusion of other 'faiths',
It has also been shown in very extreme forms..." Feng Bujue continued.
"That's enough!" Chief Li interrupted him, "My lies are misleading the public."
"There is no 'people' here. It's just you, and you brought up this example yourself." Feng Bujue said, "If you think I'm talking nonsense, just think I'm farting." He didn't wait for Chief Li.
If he said anything else, he took the initiative to return to the previous topic, "Anyway... what I met today was a female ghost in red who came back to take revenge on her first seven nights... According to what she said, she was
Someone was killed in that market."
"Ha..." Chief Li laughed, "'According to what she said'?" He repeated Brother Jue's words, "Can you still talk to ghosts?"
"Of course." Feng Bujue replied, "I'm very sure of it."
"Then tell me...what did she tell you?" Chief Li asked again.
"Actually, I didn't say much. It just said that... the owner of the antique shop, the 'injured person' in this case, became angry because his pursuit of her was rejected, so he deliberately drove her to death. But afterwards, the owner
After a few connections, it was immediately classified as an accident, and she was released from the police in just two days. I guess... in the end, she was given a suspended sentence at most, and she didn't have to go to jail at all. She had no choice but to do it herself in the first seven days.
..." Feng Bujue replied, "As for the details, I really can't ask... Ordinary earth-bound spirits are relatively rational, and some don't even know that they are ghosts. But Li ghosts are different... Although they are very
She knew what she was, but her mind was in a trance, and most of the time it was difficult to communicate and extremely aggressive." He looked helpless. "After a fight, I subdued the female ghost, and then she said vaguely.
Got these."
"What the hell?" Hearing this, Chief Li became more and more certain that the kid in front of him was mentally ill. "Are you still fighting with the female ghost?"
"Yes." Feng Bujue responded nonchalantly and gave a relevant explanation, "Things like fierce ghosts... can create a 'ghost realm'. Humans who have not yet awakened their spiritual consciousness enter the ghost realm, just like
It's like walking into the snow with only underpants on... They will become vulnerable, both physically and mentally. Most of them are frightened to death by hallucinations, and some are killed by 'hallucination attacks'. Anyway, the brain thinks that they are dead,
That means death." He pointed at himself with his thumb, "But it is different for people like me who have awakened their spiritual consciousness. My mental endurance when facing hallucinations will not be reduced by the ghost realm, and I can contact ghosts.
." He shrugged, "I wouldn't mind even three or four of those female ghosts like that."
"Ho~" Chief Li was really dumbfounded, "I can't tell..." He looked Brother Jue up and down again, "You are not only a novelist, but also a master of catching ghosts."
"You think I'm mentally ill, right?" Feng Bujue asked after seeing the other person's reaction.
"I think? Humph..." Sheriff Li snorted coldly, "I think... the thing is like this..." He paused and said eloquently, "You are a person who is not very famous and not very famous.
A wealthy novelist, due to financial constraints, you came up with the idea of robbing an antique store. So, at 11:30 last night, you ran to the door of the flower and bird market and looked around on the street for a while. Then you took advantage of the opportunity
The security guard at the concierge climbed over the wall and climbed in when he wasn't paying attention..."
"Wait a minute." Feng Bujue said, "If I plan to break into a house at night... where are the tools?" He raised his handcuffed hands, "Do I have to tear open the rolling shutter door with my bare hands?"
Faced with the doubts raised by Feng Bujue, Chief Li answered fluently: "From the surveillance video, it is true that you did not bring any crime tools. You can't hide big pliers or anything like that with your shorts..." He changed the topic,
"But...since it was a planned crime, is it possible...that you had hidden the crime tools somewhere in the market during the day?"
"Hmm... good hypothesis." Feng Bujue felt that the other party's reasoning was very logical and could not be refuted for the time being.
"It's not your turn as a suspect to comment." Sheriff Li replied angrily. He continued to reason, "After you entered the flower and bird market, you went straight to the antique shop. Just when you tried to break in
.Unexpectedly...the owner of that store happened to drive out of the alley next to it..."
"The flower and bird market usually closes around six o'clock in the afternoon, and it never goes past seven o'clock even in the summer." Feng Bujue interrupted again, "How could the boss just drive home at this point near midnight?
Woolen cloth?"
"Let's take inventory in the middle of the month." Chief Li continued almost without thinking. It seemed that he had already guessed what kind of questions Brother Jue would raise to refute him, "The main product of that antique shop is not antique calligraphy and painting, but jade."
Those kinds of things. There are many jade stones and various varieties... Compared with large antiques, they are naturally more likely to be lost and stolen. It is not surprising to count them two or three times a month, and they must be carefully counted, which will take a long time.
time."
"Uh..." Brother Jue suddenly realized that the other party's reasoning was really hard to find without loopholes. "He is a professional after all... he can explain it logically..."
"You were caught by your boss, and when you were in a panic, you used a crime tool to beat him half to death." Sheriff Li continued, "But after you regained your rationality, you regretted it... The murder was to kill.
If you want to pay for your life, killing someone before a planned crime fails is even more serious. You are a smart person... After weighing the pros and cons, you decided to call the police and call the ambulance. While the person was still breathing, and with the circumstances of surrender,
Maybe both he and you can be saved."
"Suppose you are right..." After listening to the other party's reasoning, Feng Bujue was silent for a moment and then asked, "Then why should I tell you those ghost stories?"
"Yeah... Fu--" Sheriff Li took another drag on his cigarette, "This... from a logical point of view, it's hard to find an answer. All I can think of is... maybe you suffer from schizophrenia, or something else.
What kind of mental illness? After being stimulated, your second personality appears, and this personality firmly believes in what you call a 'ghost theory'."
"Haha... It seems to make sense." Feng Bujue still smiled easily.
"I have seen some examples of mental problems in the writer industry, and I cannot rule out this possibility." Chief Li cleared his throat after saying this, "Okay, let's get down to business..." He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out.
, "If you are really a smart man, I will give you two choices..." He raised his index finger, "First, let your 'other personality' come out and explain the problem honestly. If the injured person in the end is not dead.
, taking into account the circumstances of the surrender, as long as you hire a better lawyer to defend...the sentence will not be very serious. Even if you die, you can still defend yourself around 'manslaughter'." He raised his middle finger again, "Second,
Regardless of whether you are crazy or not, you act as if you are "crazy". As long as the result of the mental evaluation is that you are ill, you don't have to go to jail...at least you won't go to jail with other people."
"Well..." Feng Bujue nodded, "Not bad..." He raised his head and stared at Chief Li, "Li Zhiyuan, you are very good."
As soon as these words came out, Li Zhiyuan's expression changed suddenly: "How do you know my name?"
He clearly remembered that he only said his surname was Li, but did not give his complete name.
"You are a talented person and you have a chance to become a good policeman." Feng Bujue took off the handcuffs on his hands as he spoke.
Li Zhiyuan was shocked to find that the handcuffs on Feng Bujue's hands had turned into rusty shapes and looked like scrap metal.
"It's a pity..." Brother Jue said, standing up, "...you made a wrong step."
"What do you want to do?" Li Zhiyuan suddenly stood up from his chair. Although he didn't have a gun on him at the moment, he was absolutely confident in defeating ordinary people in unarmed combat.
Brother Jue ignored his question and continued what he said before: "And this step... will directly ruin your life."
"You said..." At this moment, Li Zhiyuan's pupils shrank and his whole body became cold, "...what..."
…………
"Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"
"You can't go back until dawn."
"I'm very aware of the current situation."
"Can you still talk to ghosts?"
"Of course, I'm sure of it."
"Generally, earthbound spirits are relatively rational, and some don't even know that they are ghosts."
…………
"You seem to have forgotten that woman's case." Feng Bujue walked slowly around the other party, the laziness and casualness in his expression had turned into calm and awe-inspiring, "But subconsciously... you are still standing to the 'shopkeeper's' side."
"Who are you?" Li Zhiyuan retreated to the wall unconsciously, "What are you talking about?"
"I'm Feng Bujue, haven't you asked?" Feng Bujue replied, "What I'm talking about... is naturally the last case you handled before your death." (To be continued, please search. Piaotian Literature, novels are better and updated faster!
