C23 The matter had been settled

At that moment, I couldn't care about the miserable situation in the kitchen. There wasn't any surveillance, so I just treated it as having been robbed. I only wanted to find Uncle Liu. As long as Uncle Liu was by my side, I was safe.

However, after looking around the funeral home for a while, Uncle Liu unexpectedly wasn't there. I could only ask the doorkeeper, Old Zhang, for confirmation. I found that Uncle Liu had a special hobby.

That is, every afternoon, I would go next door to see those old grannies dancing in the plaza. Not to mention that Uncle Liu is quite interested in dancing in the square, at least at his age, I probably don't have these kinds of playthings.

When I arrived at the square on the next street, I first felt a burst of gongs and drums in the sky, and it was also because of this noise that my heart slowly calmed down.

I've already experienced it after saying that there are more people with more strength than others. Although these grandma and grandma don't have much fighting power, being gathered together is like setting off firecrackers. My heart immediately felt a lot more at ease.

Uncle Liu was sitting next to the radio. He was now one with the grandma, and these tapes were all under her supervision. She was probably practicing dancing with the grandma.

"Luo Sheng, why are you here?" Seeing me appear, Uncle Liu retracted his vulgar smile and once again became immortal-like, as if he was wearing a mask. He was actually able to switch back and forth between his two forms.

"Uncle Liu, something has happened to me again. You can't just ignore me." The little girl from last time I knew that I was reaping what I sowed, but the Big Sis Ghost today was completely muddled, and I couldn't figure out who I had provoked.

"Slow down? "What is it?" Uncle Liu suddenly frowned and looked at me suspiciously. He was probably cursing in his heart. I just settled the matter with the little girl, but I didn't expect something to happen again so soon.

Immediately, after I told him about meeting a ghost today, Uncle Liu became puzzled after hearing what I said. I've been pestered by that little girl for the past two days and didn't have the time to provoke others, so how could I meet a ghost?

"Tell me what happened earlier. From what you've said, this Evil Spirit should have been in shape for a long time. It has even lost its humanity, unlike the ones that have just died." Uncle Liu took a drag from his cigarette and asked.

At this point, I seem to understand something. When I was digging up the corpse of the little girl, I found a gift. It can't be that there was a problem with that bone, right?

When I thought about this, I explained everything, including Lin Jiang killing the snake. After hearing it, Uncle Liu also nodded and gave me a definite answer.

"That snake isn't a problem. At most, the spirit of the animal is just a minor illness, but the female ghost must have had some problem with this hand. Her anger must be on this hand, so digging it out first would be equivalent to alerting her."

Hearing this, I finally understood that I was purely out of luck. Originally, I was fine, but in the end, I even provoked a Big Sis Ghost, what made me even more confused was, why didn't those buried corpses have any accidents, when it came to me, there had already been an accident.

"Then, Uncle Liu, what should I do now?" This isn't all my fault, right? She doesn't have any sense right now and only wants to harm me. " It's fine if I'm unlucky, but I don't want to die that early.

After hearing this, Uncle Liu became silent for a moment, then began to speak with enigmatic words, "Then the female ghost looking for you, is fate, and if you handle it properly, it's fate, fate, fate. Luo Sheng, think of a way to avenge her."

"Uncle Liu, are you joking?" I don't even know who she is, how do you expect me to avenge her? " I was really speechless. At least I knew what was going on with the little girl, but this person was simply insane.

After hearing what I had said, Uncle Liu nodded his head and closed his eyes, crossing his legs. Just when I thought he was planning on taking an afternoon nap, Uncle Liu's mouth suddenly started shaking.

I respectfully waited at the side. I thought to myself that this Taoist Liu was really not good at drawing talismans, exorcising ghosts, chanting spells, and fortune-telling.

After a moment, Uncle Liu finally opened his eyes and unhurriedly recited another unknown sentence to me. "8th of May, Eastsource Morning Post."

"What? Uncle Liu, can you be more specific? " I was about to go crazy from worry. Unexpectedly Uncle Liu still had the mood to play with me. The one who chased after me was not him.

"Luo Sheng, I've already told you that Dong Yuan has a newspaper already, why haven't you opened your mouth so early?" Uncle Liu helplessly slapped my head before explaining to me.

He reckoned that this female ghost was related to a case and that the case had been reported in the morning paper on May 8th. As for which May 8th, he was afraid that it would leak out, so he didn't dare to count.

"Oh!" I understand! " I suddenly had a feeling that Uncle Liu was helping me narrow down the investigation. The morning paper on May 8th could exclude this year, since it was only March.

Thinking of this, I felt a headache coming on. Even if I could exclude this year, the scope of the search would still be too large. But fortunately, there was a target I could target.

"Uncle Liu, then I'll go to the library to borrow some newspapers. But before I go, when will Big Sis come find me to use salt to exorcise ghosts?"

Before leaving, I asked inwardly, 'This ghost was temporarily driven away by me, but he'll definitely come back to find me. If she finds the library later, I'll have to go to the supermarket to buy two bags of salt to prepare.

"Relax, at least you're smart, knowing that you can only learn now and sell now, this female ghost won't be able to recover in two days, in these two days, you can relax and take action."

Uncle Liu shook his hands casually. After hearing that there would be two days, I heaved a sigh of relief. At the very least, I wouldn't need to bring salt to the library, nor would the librarian treat me as a fool.

The library was the only place I could think of with old newspapers. When my father was still alive, he used to take me to the city library to look for storybooks, and he liked to read old ones himself.

At the time, I had no idea what my father was doing. The value of news lay in a new word, and newspapers that had been in it for years had no value at all.

But now I understand, knowing better, not only to refer to knowledge, but also to the old news, an old news story that might involve a lot of things that might not have been taken seriously in the past and might even provide new clues to the old case.

As soon as I entered the library, I explained my purpose to the librarian, who, although surprised by my request, gave me all the papers that had appeared on May 8th in the thirty years since the establishment of the Eastspring Morning Post.
