Why?

"The evil ghost that we saw last time in Ling Dong City should be that child's evil spirit. However, I don't quite understand how that child died when he was only a few years old. He should be very young, and the one that we saw was clearly an adult."

Shen Tuo leaned on the wall and said: "That child has already been dead for many years, so my body would have long been rotted. Changing my body is not strange, but because that Evil Spirit is only that of a child, when she switched her body, she must have come into contact with the memories of the body that she wanted to change into. If that body is a good person, then it would be fine, but if it is a bad person, then the Evil Spirit will definitely become even more violent."

"From the looks of it, this body of his must not have been a good person before he died!" I thought about the moment when he instantly skinned Li Tie alive. We were all present, and in just a blink of an eye, a living person was skinned alive.

Shen Tuo took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled a cloud of white smoke, "Damn, this case looks very mind-blowing. I thought it was a battle of wits, but I didn't expect it to be a fight of courage!" I wonder if this little life of mine can take her! "

I returned a slap to Shen Tuo's face: "You're a police officer, you haven't even officially fought, how can you just retreat first? Are you Shen Tuo? "

I told the nurse at the door of the ward to let them have a good look at the patient, and then followed Shen Tuo out of the hospital. As for Zhao Xue, as long as I stay far away from her, she will return to the book on her own.

We went all the way to Grandpa Shen Ta's place with great familiarity. In the car, I told Shen Ta everything I had told Zhao Xue in the ward.

"You should stay here for the next few days. The school might not be safe, but this place can still suppress the ghost aura on your body."

Shen Ta said to me as he pointed to the room where I used to live as he walked towards the study.

All I could think about was the mess of clues in this case, so when Shen Tuo said that to me, I just nodded without thinking about it.

Reaching the study room, Shen Tuo pulled out a chair, crossed his legs and threw himself into it. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and placed it in his mouth, staring at the ceiling.

I moved a chair to sit across from Shen Ta. Shen Ta suddenly asked as if he was talking to himself, "Just now, Yang Xu said that you are the only one who can save her. What do you mean by that?"

How would I know?

"Didn't you say you meant it literally? It's just that she wanted me to help her. I don't know about the rest. "

Shen Tuo suddenly sat up and said: "Suppose she knows your secret, that you have a book that can seal evil spirits, that you have subdued the red-clothed resentful ghost … But how did she know? All the cases in the Bureau were strictly confidential. Where did she get the information? "

It's time again, Shen Tuo's hypothesis!

I fumbled for a piece of paper from the table, took out a pen, and jumbled it around.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence?"

I don't believe it myself.

If it was really a coincidence, then what kind of coincidence was needed to make such a big case?

"What did you draw?" While my head was in a whirl and unable to make sense of the situation, Shen Ta suddenly asked me.

"Hmm? What's that? "

I looked vaguely down at the paper in my hand and felt goosebumps rise all over my body. I had unconsciously drawn a cat's head on a piece of paper.

I slammed the table. "Ah! That's right! I just saw a cat's head scar at Yang Xu's heart! "Also, when we were at Ling Dong City, I saw a similar scar on Li Tie's collarbone, but it looked like a black tattoo!"

"Damn, why didn't you say so earlier!" Shen Ta gave a roar and stood up from his chair.

I jumped in fright, "I was delirious when I came back from that place, and later when I went back to the dorm, I didn't have the time to tell you."

Shen Tuo brought the piece of paper with a cat head drawn on it to his eyes and took a deep breath, "Cat's head, cat's head, cat's head, is it possible that everything related to this case, or even humans, has something to do with this cat head?"

Yang Xu had just said that the child's eyeballs had been bitten off by a cat. Afterwards, her evil spirit had taken off the cat's head and placed it on its neck to be used by itself.

But what could this little clue do? Was he supposed to check if the entire person had this pattern on them? It was obviously impossible!

Just when I was racking my brains to figure out what use that pattern would have, Shen Tuo's phone rang. It was Li Ke. He directly pressed speaker.

"Brother Shen, I just saw Li Tie at the entrance of the police station!"

Shen Tuo bellowed, his face immediately became gloomy: "What? How is this possible? Hadn't the body already been sent to the funeral home? What do you see? Is it man or ghost? "

Li Ke seemed to grind his teeth as he said, "People!" He had a shadow on the road, and he said hello to the police! "

All the hairs on my body instantly exploded! The excitement he felt earlier due to the cat head design immediately disappeared without a trace.

Shen Tuo then asked Li Ke, "When did you see it?"

"4: 25 PM. Just now, the family member who sacrificed his colleague came over to retrieve his corpse. He's right outside the door."

"Then what did he say?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Ke answered, "Yes, but he just opened his mouth and didn't say anything. The surveillance cameras at our door have recorded everything. Come back and take a look."

Shen Tuo immediately hung up the phone, turned around and walked out the door.

I hurried after him to the police station.

He couldn't help but feel a little helpless. They had just arrived home and it was already 5 in the morning before the chair was warmed up.

We arrived at the police station just as the mortuary car arrived, presumably to pull up the dead cop. A very young girl with a ponytail was kneeling beside the car. She should be her daughter.

The little girl's eyes were red and swollen, and her clothes were wet from the morning dew. It seemed like she had been kneeling outside for some time.

Sigh, as a member of the police force, one must always make such preparations at all times. Is it the same in Shen Tuo's house? Although I have never met Shen Ta's parents, I think they must also be worried about Shen Ta frequently.

Seeing us arrive at the entrance of the police station, Li Ke hurriedly came out to greet Shen Tuo. "Brother Shen."

Shen Tuo didn't stop his steps. He continued to walk forward. I followed behind him with some difficulty as they jogged forward.

To be honest, sometimes I hate people with long legs, because they can walk only a few steps because of the same distance, and I have to walk a few more steps.

When we got to the police station's surveillance room, there were already a lot of people sitting inside and out, some people we knew, some people we didn't know, but all of them had the same serious expressions on their faces, and a few of them had dark faces, as if they were afraid.

It was no wonder that a corpse that had just been sent to the funeral home had come back alive. Anyone who saw this would feel goosebumps all over their skin.

I followed Shen Tuo to a place relatively close to the front, which was considered as external aid.

Because of the case of the red-clothed resentful ghost last time, my position in the police station is a bit delicate, not the police but also can be involved in the case.

Shen Tuo told me with a darkened face that it's fine. Regarding the case in his hands, no matter who it was, even if I had someone, I would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the bureau chief.

Although the metaphor is not very appropriate, but it can also let me feel a lot more at ease.

Shen Tuo sat in front of the monitor computer, flipping over the video of Li Tie being captured and carefully watching it again.

The video was in black and white, but it was very clear. The face of the person in the video could be clearly seen. At first glance, I couldn't help but gasp.

Last time when Li Tie reported the case, he said that Zhang Yang, who was already dead, came back. But I didn't see the scene, nor did I see that person.

But it's different now. I actually saw the people who died in front of me this afternoon on the live monitor.

Shen Tuo lit up his cigarette, took a puff and asked, "Did anyone talk to this person while he was outside?"

A policeman who appeared to be in his forties answered, "I told him that I was not involved in this case. When I first saw him, I thought I was going to report the case."

"Then how did he react?" Shen Tuo continued asking.

"He ignored me," the policeman replied. "He was just wandering around the door as if he was looking for something. He was muttering to himself, but his voice was too soft to be heard."

Shen Tuo said, "Then did you go over to see him?"

The policeman hesitated for a moment as if he was trying to calm down. Then he said, "I went over, but before I got to him, Li Ke stopped me and told me not to go over. Then he pulled me back."

At this time, Li Ke added, "I saw him in the hall. At first, I thought I was mistaken, and I even observed him carefully, until I was sure it was him. Then I delayed for a while, and when I came back to my senses, Brother Zhang was already walking over to him. I was afraid that Li Tie would hurt someone, so I pulled him back."

Shen Tuo nodded his head and suddenly looked at me. "Did you notice anything?"

When Shen Tuo asked them about the whole matter, I was watching Li Tie on the screen, but all I saw was him walking back and forth in front of the door, stopping once in a while to lower his head and mutter a few words to himself before continuing to walk forward. Although I could clearly see his face, I couldn't tell what he was talking about from the movements of his lips.

I shook my head in disappointment. "I didn't see it. He always kept his head down."

"Actually, I'm a little surprised. This person is already dead, so he should be a ghost. Since he's a ghost, he should be looking for some place related to him, such as his home. He died in his corridor, or someone who harmed him, what's he doing in the police station?"

Li Ke's seemingly unintentional words made me feel enlightened.

Not to mention the reason why Li Tie came to the police station, it was based on the activities of a living person. What was the purpose of an ordinary person coming to the police station?
