Deng Jiuyang stopped at this point, took a long breath, lit a cigarette, and gradually returned his thoughts from the story to reality.
"Dad, you haven't finished speaking yet. What happened to Grandpa Zu in the end? Was he strangled to death by the evil corpse chaser?" Tianhao asked eagerly.
"Silly boy, if your grandfather died, wouldn't there be no story behind it? Your grandfather's brother, Captain Li, arrived and shot in time to save your dying grandfather." Deng Jiuyang had a solemn look on his face, even now
I can still imagine the crisis of the situation at that time
"Well, it's no wonder that Grandpa Zu said that when he wrote this memory, his mind was extremely clear. After experiencing such a terrifying life and death process, it is difficult not to remember it," Deng Tianhao said, wiping the sweat dripping from his face due to nervousness.
"Tianhao, do you still want to hear it?" Deng Jiuyang nodded and said to his son Deng Tianhao
"I want to hear it! Dad, tell me quickly!" Deng Tianhao took Deng Jiuyang's hand and said eagerly
Deng Jiuyang put out the cigarette butt and thought for three minutes. Within three minutes, his mind went blank. He felt as if he was seriously ill. His whole body was cold and trembling. Although it was already a scorching summer, Deng Jiuyang felt as if he had fallen into
When I entered the ice cave, I was completely frozen because this story was so weird.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Deng Tianhao shouted in surprise when he saw his father's pale face and trembling lips.
Three minutes later, Deng Jiuyang took a long breath, walked back into the freezer in the hall, took out a can of beer, drank it in one gulp, suppressed the panic in his heart, and muttered: "Dad, you really hurt me.
, you want me to tell such a horrible story to Tianhao."
"Dad, are you okay?" Deng Tianhao asked nervously
"It's okay, Tianhao, let's continue, but I have to remind you that your grandfather's story is very scary. Do you want to hear it?" Deng Jiuyang rubbed his face and asked.
"Listen, I want to listen to my grandfather's stories. I am a descendant of the 'Yin Yang Detective'. I am not afraid of anything no matter how terrifying it is." Deng Tianhao patted his chest and said
"Yes!" Deng Jiuyang nodded with satisfaction.
"This story happened after your grandfather went to Shanghai and received the first supernatural case. The story goes like this..."
When Lin Jiale called, Deng Long was bored. He picked up the phone and said "hello" feebly, but the person on the other end was very excited and spoke a series of Shanghainese words, so that Deng Long could not fully recall the phone call now.
At that time, Deng Long had just arrived in Shanghai and was not very familiar with the Shanghainese dialect. Another reason was that Lin Jiale spoke too fast due to excitement, and Deng Long could only understand roughly.
The content is probably, 'Mr. Deng Long, thank you very, very much. My wife has successfully given birth to a son weighing eight pounds. I hope you can come to the wedding banquet.'
Perhaps for Lin Jiale, this is undoubtedly a great good thing, but for Deng Long, Deng Long did not want to mention it again, and even hoped that he would never think of it again, so Deng Long politely rejected Lin Jiale's offer at that time.
Invitation, for a minute, neither Deng Long nor Lin Jiale on the other end of the phone spoke. A minute later, Lin Jiale said "Oh" and the two parties ended the call.
My thoughts gradually returned to Shanghai three months ago.
After burying Grandpa Chen, Deng Long handed over the medicine shop to a merchant from out of town and followed Li Kangkai to Shanghai. Originally, Li Kangkai wanted to recommend Deng Long to join the detective team, but Deng Long was used to being free, so he rejected Li Kangkai's kindness. Deng Long
Long remembered that Li Kangkai's expression was very exaggerated at that time, and his mouth was open enough to stuff an egg. He pointed at Deng Long's smiling face and shouted in surprise at the pier: "Do you know how many people in Shanghai are struggling to get in?"
Detective team?"
Deng Long calmly spread his hands and said to him with a smile: "I really don't know, but I really don't want to!"
Li Kangkai was shaking with anger, stamped his feet and said, "You! You are hopeless!"
Deng Long still spread his hands and said helplessly: "My brother Li, it's not like you don't know who I am!"
Li Kangkai left angrily, leaving Deng Long standing on the Huangpu River pier carrying a yellow cloth bag, extremely embarrassed.
After a while, Li Kangkai ran back again. The anger on his face had dissipated a lot. Looking at Deng Long's sweaty and embarrassed appearance in the sun, he suddenly laughed: "I'll make you faint, haha! Let's go!"
Since that time, Li Kangkai never mentioned joining the detective team to Deng Long. With the help of an acquaintance of his, he rented an office building for Deng Long and asked Deng Long to work as a private detective. This was a coincidence.
Deng Long meant that what Deng Long feared most was that others would take care of him. The name of the detective agency was "Yin Yang Detective Agency"
Deng Long was very depressed at the time as to why he chose such a name. Li Kangkai’s explanation was very simple, because Deng Long had yin and yang eyes and could see through yin and yang. The two words yin and yang just reflected his characteristics.
After becoming a private detective, Deng Long found that he was even more bored. Why? There were dozens of detective agencies in Shanghai, six or seven of which were famous. Deng Long could not get any work at all, and finally got one.
A job is either to find those cats or dogs, or to check the privacy of your husband or wife and do some tracking work.
Of course Deng Long couldn't agree, and even had a big quarrel and fight with a customer. Why? Because he wanted Deng Long to follow his wife, and Deng Long thought that the customer was insulting him. How could Deng Long do it?
Those jobs?
At that time, the man with gold eyes jumped up and pointed at Deng Long's nose, showing his big gold teeth and scolding: "You are so shameless, a little detective dares to show off in front of me!"
Deng Long's blood was also rising at that time, and he was already panicking. This guy just let him vent his anger. With Deng Long's skills, the golden eyes got a good blow from him. When the police finally came, the customer had already
His eyes became black, and his big gold teeth that he thought were extremely handsome were also broken by Deng Long.
Originally, Deng Long was supposed to be in the police station, but Li Kangkai found someone to drag him out and save him from jail. However, Big Gold Tooth never came to Deng Long again. When he came out of the police station, Li Kangkai pointed at Deng Long angrily.
Said: "Deng Long, this is Shanghai Beach, not an ancient town in western Hunan. Please don't use your fists for nothing."
Deng Long smiled and said to Li Kangkai, whose face was ashen with anger: "I'm really in a hurry. That guy just happened to offend me again. It's bad luck for him."
Li Kangkai pointed at Deng Long, snorted, and walked away.
This incident helped Deng Long gain some popularity. Everyone knew that the detective at the Yin Yang Detective Agency was a violent man. Those things about chasing cats and dogs never bothered him again. Deng Long was leisurely and hardworking.
Study "Maoshan Conquering Demons" and occasionally visit the Institute of Historical Relics
The secrets of the silver tablets obtained from the ancient forest were revealed by experts who were familiar with ancient writings. It turned out that there was indeed a prosperous tribe in the ancient forest three hundred years ago. This tribe was because their tribal leader practiced an evil magic. In the end,
It caused a natural disaster and caused the tribe to disappear overnight. The corpse in the copper coffin was the leader of the tribe. The silver plate was a record of this incident. As for the little flute, it was probably for practicing evil magic.
of magic weapon
This is almost consistent with what Deng Long and Li Kangkai originally guessed. However, Deng Long kept the piece of jade privately because it gave Deng Long a very peaceful feeling. Deng Long was sure that it was definitely not an evil thing. Facts later proved that
Among some supernatural dangers, that piece of jade was indeed his life-saving amulet.
In this way, Deng Long spent a month in Shanghai in a muddle, until he received a phone call three months ago. The phone call was from Li Kangkai, telling Deng Long that a very important person needed his help, and that this person would meet him tonight.
Come to him and ask Deng Long not to offend that person. Even if he can't help, he must politely refuse and don't hurt that person's face.
He was afraid that Deng Long's true nature would be hard to change, so he confessed it several times in a row. It wasn't until Deng Long said to him impatiently: "My Captain Li, my ears are calloused" that Li Kangkai put down the phone.
Since a big shot could come, Deng Long certainly couldn't be vague. He cleaned up the entire desk and kept mumbling, "It would be great to have a secretary."
After cleaning up, Deng Long sat in the big armchair waiting for the arrival of this mysterious big man. Until 10:30 in the evening, the man never showed up. Deng Long yawned and prepared to turn off the lights and go back to the bedroom to sleep.
He was also very angry in his heart. How could there be any big shot looking for a nobody like him at such a late hour? It was not Li Kangkai who made fun of him, but when he thought that he did not seem like someone who could make such a joke, Deng Long sat down again.
come down
Deng Long took out a bottle of wine from the drawer and poured himself a small glass. This wine was authentic Kweichow Lao Moutai, as strong as fire. After drinking this small glass of wine, all his sleepiness disappeared. Deng Long decided to wait.
Half an hour, if he doesn't come at eleven o'clock, no matter who he is, he will never wait again
Just at eleven o'clock, when Deng Long made up his mind not to wait any longer, a strong beam of light from a car came over. Deng Long's studio was on the second floor, but he still felt that the light was very dazzling. Deng Long opened the door
Looking down the window, he saw a luxurious black RV parked downstairs. Deng Long knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.
After closing the window, Deng Long sat on the big armchair, wanting to see who this mysterious man was.
"Dong! Dong!" The gentle knock on the door proved that this person was of very high quality. "Please come in!" Deng Long had already opened the latch, but the door was only ajar.
The man gently opened the door and walked in
The person who opened the door and walked in was a man wearing big sunglasses and a black suit. His short, flat hair stood on end and he looked very energetic. Deng Long looked at his hands. They were very white, but the veins on his hands were...
He was stout, and Deng Long could almost tell that this man was an expert shooter. Since his big sunglasses covered most of his face, Deng Long couldn't guess his age for a moment.
After the man opened the door, he quickly glanced into the room, and then bowed to the door. A man in a white Chinese tunic suit walked in with a smile on his face. The white tunic suit completely set off this man's nobility.
Elegant temperament
Deng Long recognized him at a glance. It can be said that no one in Shanghai does not know him, and no one in the Chinese business community does not know him. He is a celebrity in Shanghai, the chairman of Lin Group, Lin Jiale.
After Lin Jiale came in, the man wearing sunglasses respectfully opened the door and left. Deng Long and Lin Jiale were the only ones left in the room.
Deng Long stood up from the big armchair and bowed respectfully to Lin Jiale. He was completely worthy of Deng Long's bow because he was the financial supporter behind the National Government and his old father was the father of the founding Sun Yat-sen.
Dear friends, the Lin family has made huge contributions to overthrowing the Manchu government.
Lin Jiale nodded and smiled: "Detective Deng, you are still quite young and handsome!" Deng Long smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, you are not old either."
Lin Jiale burst out laughing and waved to Deng Long to tell me that I don't have to be polite. Deng Long sat on the big armchair, and Lin Jiale sat down opposite him.
Deng Long's face straightened and he said: "Mr. Lin, I don't know if there is anything I can do to help you."
Lin Jiale took out a cigar from his arms and put it to his mouth while taking out a lighter and lighting it. A faint smell of smoke filled the room. Lin Jiale took a sip and suddenly realized something. He was startled and said: "Detective Deng
Don’t mind if I smoke”
Deng Long waved his hand and said: "You don't mind, just call me Xiaolong. It's getting late, Mr. Lin, let's get down to business."
Lin Jiale trembled, his face suddenly darkened, and he smoked violently. It was obvious that he must be hiding some inner panic or fear. Deng Long knew that he was thinking intensely and did not disturb him.
A few minutes later, after Lin Jiale finished smoking the cigar, he rubbed his face vigorously and raised his head. He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. His eyes were bloodshot. He pulled his chair closer to the desk.
He opened his eyes wide and asked Deng Long: "Xiaolong, I want you to investigate my wife."
Deng Long's face suddenly turned cold. If Li Kangkai hadn't repeatedly warned him, Deng Long would have invited Lin Jiale out. But thinking of Lin Jiale's identity, Deng Long said coldly: "Mr. Lin, you know, I never do this.
Deng Long, the one who did these things, changed his title because of his anger towards him.
Lin Jiale clearly felt Deng Long's displeasure. He spread his hands and said to Deng Long: "I'm sorry, I really need your help."
Deng Long sneered and said: "Mr. Lin, with your financial resources, you can hire the best private detective in Shanghai to do this."
Lin Jiale waved his hand and said: "No, no! They can't, only you can. Mr. Li told me about your matter and said that only you can solve it."
Deng Long smiled awkwardly and said: "That's because he looks up to me. I'm the worst detective in Shanghai."
"No! Only you can do it, because you can see those unclean things!" Lin Jiale said with a look of fear on his face.
"Dirty things, what Mr. Lin is referring to..." Deng Long asked with his eyes wide open. He naturally understood what Lin Jiale was talking about, but Deng Long did not expect that a person with profound blessings like Lin Jiale would also
come across these things
"Ghost, I suspect there is a ghost in my house, I suspect my wife is a ghost!" Lin Jiale suddenly stood up and covered his face with his hands and shouted.
"Why, Mr. Lin, are you suspicious?" Deng Long suddenly became nervous when he heard this. You must know that Lin Jiale and his wife are a legendary couple in the entire business world, but now he actually suspects that his wife is...
"She, she ate cats, she ate them alive!" Lin Jiale said in a whimpering voice, so much so that Deng Long even thought he was crying. After saying this, he collapsed in front of Deng Long.
In the big chair, covering his face with his hands, feeling extremely painful
After hearing what he said, Deng Long was also horrified. If anyone really saw this scene, they would probably be scared to death, let alone his wife, so Deng Long could understand his pain and fear.
Deng Long took out a cigarette from the drawer, lit it, took two puffs and gave it to Lin Jiale and said: "Mr. Lin, you are under too much pressure at work, maybe you are blind." Although Deng Long has seen supernatural ghosts, he also knows this.
A type of thing exists, but he is still hesitant to believe it
"No, it's true, Xiaolong, I've seen her a few times. She woke up in the middle of the night and was eating..." Lin Jiale took a long puff of cigarette, eyes wide open, and said weakly, his voice sounded very serious.
Sadness and depression, this business tycoon has been tortured so much
"Xiaolong, Mr. Li said you can see these things. Check to see if she has any ghosts on her." Lin Jiale suddenly stood up and pulled Deng Long's shirt like a madman.
"Mr. Lin, please calm down. You go back first. Give me your address. I will go to the Lin Mansion tomorrow to help you take a look." Deng Long shook off Lin Jiale's hand and said to him slowly.
"No, no, I won't go back. I would rather sleep in the car every day than go back to her bed. I'm afraid... you, you don't know, it's too scary, too scary." Lin Jiale fought with both hands.
Pulling his hair, he shouted in pain
Deng Long looked at Lin Jiale who was in great pain and said nothing. If it were true, anyone who experienced such a thing would go crazy.
