Chapter 296: The Evil One (1)

"Not bad, you also solved the case three months ago, and even the wanted fugitives were caught by you." Song Yi signed a report and said.

"Actually, we didn't know who the murderer was when this case started. We didn't know the murderer until early this morning..." Qin Nan scratched his head and said.

"Haha, this is also your strength." Song Yi said with a smile.

"By the way, Lao Song, what should you do with your car? It can no longer be driven..." Qin Nan asked with a smile.

"You can figure it out, right? By the way, I heard you bought a new car?!" Song Yi said.

"Yes, it's just a domestic entry-level car that costs tens of thousands. It's convenient to have a car. Otherwise, if you ask someone to collect the car and sell it, it will cost tens of thousands if you sell it as scrap metal..." Qin Nan said.

"Okay, I'll pick it up another day. It's getting late. You guys should work the early shift today. Thank you for your hard work." Song Yi said, looking at the report in his hand.

"Okay, see you tomorrow then..." Qin Nan quickly stood up and disappeared from Song Yi's sight.

In the past few days, Qin Nan's team has not received any other cases. It can be said that the entire police station has not received any homicide cases. Most of them were policemen on duty at night who received a few drunken and trouble-making cases.

,

Qin Nan and the four of them were in a state of relaxation during the day. It was not until the afternoon of April 4th that Ma Xiaotao came to Qin Nan. It seemed that something was wrong. Qin Nan knew what she was thinking, so she said to herself

Said to himself:

"Oh, I have to go back to my hometown tonight, and I have to worship my ancestors tomorrow morning..."

After Ma Xiaotao heard what Qin Nan said, the corners of her eyes couldn't help but twitch. She wanted to discuss with Qin Nan about adjusting her work so that she could go shopping with a few friends tomorrow.

Because after Qingming Festival, her friends would also go to work, but if they had time off, she would have to stay at home alone to lie down.

"Well, actually, it's all up to your liking. By the way, what do you think about the two of us changing shifts tomorrow? I have something to do tomorrow." Ma Xiao said with a smile.

Qin Nan raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect Ma Xiaotao to actually ask.

"That's not okay. We have to visit the grave early tomorrow morning. I don't dare to disobey my grandma's order. By the way, what can I do for you?" Qin Nan asked.

"I think... forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you." Ma Xiaotao turned and walked towards Wu Haotian.

The result was the same, and then he sat back in his seat and started to feel unhappy, sighing constantly.

After get off work, Qin Nan and Wu Haotian went to the nearest market, ready to buy some things to go home. However, what they didn't expect was that most of the market was closed, with only a few shops left to buy scented wax paper candles. , and there are more people,

This couldn't help but make him feel a little weird.

After walking this street, they found no place to buy anything. The market was not far from home, so they decided to walk back.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening. When they passed the shantytown, they found that there were many people of the older generation burning paper money here to express their sorrow for the ancients.

The moment the paper money was ignited, these people were instantly immersed in memories of the past, and they were still mumbling various words to protect their families' safety, promotion and wealth.

Qin Nan sighed helplessly after hearing this, and suddenly an idea arose in his mind. Should he burn paper money for his former self? Then he smiled helplessly, thinking that his idea was very interesting, and even said it was a bit evil.

.

"If burning paper money could lead to promotion and wealth, the world would be in chaos..." Qin Nan said softly to himself.

He is an atheist to begin with, and he has an attitude of disapproval and disapproval of those who believe in ghosts and gods.

Not long after, the two of them walked out of the shanty town and arrived at the intersection. When Qin Nan arrived at the intersection, he saw a lot of firelight on several sides of the intersection, and there were relatively few vehicles.

If a vehicle passes by at high speed, the unburned paper ash will float in the wind. If it floats into the haystack, it is very likely to cause a fire. There is also a horn tied to the telephone pole at this intersection, and the only sound is

Playing repeatedly:

"Please don't burn paper, worship in a civilized way, thank you for your cooperation..."

But the three or two elderly people burning paper seemed not to be able to hear them at all, and apart from the dispensable loudspeakers, there were no volunteers or staff to stop this behavior.

The two of them passed this intersection. At the corner, Qin Nan also found a strange old man. He saw that the old man had gray hair and a long white beard on his chin, but he looked very neat.

He was also wearing a pair of reading glasses that cost one or two yuan, and he was wearing a Mao suit and sitting on a wooden stool that he seemed to have brought. There were five or six puppets in front of him, and he seemed to be selling these things.

When Qin Nan passed by the old man, the old man smiled and asked: "Young man, do you want to buy a puppet? They are sold cheaply..."

Qin Nan wanted to politely refuse, but when he saw these puppets on the ground, he instantly felt a chill in his back, because the faces of these puppets looked very ferocious, and they looked like mummies, especially

those eyes,

It made Qin Nan look very uncomfortable.

"Young man, do you want to buy puppets? These puppets of mine are very spiritual, hehehe..." the old man said with a smile.

"No, no, no..." Qin Nan said with a smile, and then left quickly with Wu Haotian.

After the two of them walked away, Qin Nan breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I had a very strange feeling just now. Those puppets made me a little breathless, and the puppets look like that. I don't know who will buy them."

What Qin Nan didn't notice was that Wu Haotian had been frowning ever since they passed the puppet stall.

"I don't know if it's because the lights are too dim, but those puppets gave me a particularly uncomfortable feeling, as if they were puppets pieced together from the joints of mummified corpses..." Wu Haotian said with a frown.

"Wha, what?! Are you sure you saw clearly?" Qin Nan asked in surprise.

"I...I'm not sure, I just have a feeling, because when we were soldiers before, I saw..." Wu Haotian said.

Qin Nan couldn't help but cover his mouth, retched, and then said, "How about we go back and take a look?"

Wu Haotian nodded, and then the two of them turned back and walked some distance away, but the old man who bought the puppets had disappeared on the street, and only sporadic firelights could be seen burning on both sides.

"Where is the person?" Qin Nan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and he started to become a little panicked. Although he was an atheist, there was absolutely no way that the old man could disappear out of thin air in just a minute or two.

"She should have gone back..." Wu Haotian said with a frown. In fact, Wu Haotian's mood became a little complicated. He also felt that the old man who looked a little thin was unlikely to have left so soon.

And there are so many things on the stalls.

Qin Nan looked at the paper dust flying in the sky and couldn't help but swallowed. After looking at each other with Wu Haotian, he left the scene without saying anything.

After the two returned home, their moods were very complicated, especially Qin Nan, who still couldn't figure out how the old man left.

Qin Nan looked at the time on his phone. It was already around nine o'clock in the evening.

"Well, Haotian, why don't we go back today?" Qin Nan asked.

Wu Haotian sighed and said, "No, I've already told Grandma Qin that we may arrive around eleven o'clock. She will be angry if we don't go back. We must go to the ancestor worship in the morning."

Qin Nan also sighed, and after the two quickly packed their luggage, they got into the car.

At 10:30 in the evening, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Shennong Village. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, Qin Nan felt a little cold on his back.

Except for the incandescent light at the entrance of the village committee, the rest of the village was dark. The street lights on the roadside were turned off for unknown reasons.

And at this time, when the high beams were shining in the direction of going home, he could still see layers of mist. This reminded him of the first time he came to Shen rural area, when he saw people burning paper in the mass graves.

I don’t know why I fell asleep in the car.

Every time Qin Nan returns to Shennong Village, something weird always seems to happen...
