Ghost Detective

Chapter 61: Chapter 61

Ye Nuochen said curiously: "I want to know what kind of secret this dagger hides."

Ye Lai looked at the face in front of him and didn't move his chopsticks immediately. When he heard his son's question, he said, "This is given to me by my master. I don't know anything about its secrets. I can't help you with anything you want to know." , if you really want to know, it's only up to you to find out."

"I'm looking for it myself? I don't even know where to start." Ye Nuochen felt that the question was in vain, with a frustrated expression on his face.

"Find it from the source in your dreams."

"I don't understand." Ye Nuochen looked at Ye Lai blankly.

"If you don't understand, then don't understand. This dagger is just an ordinary dagger. I gave it to you for self-defense and to ward off evil spirits. Others are useless. Don't put it under your pillow to sleep in the future. I won’t dream about those messy things anymore.” Ye Lai suddenly changed the subject, speaking lightly, and finally picked up his chopsticks and started eating noodles.

Ye Nuochen saw that his noodles were delicious, he hesitated to speak, the questions in his heart were far more than these, he didn't know whether his father's words were true or not.

"Maybe it's an ordinary dagger. If you think about those messy things every day, you will naturally dream about those things. If you don't think about them in the future, you won't dream about them." Liu Jing added and persuaded.

"Understood." Ye Nuochen got up unwillingly and left, frowning deeply, with a look of preoccupation on his face.

"This kid, what have you been working on all day long, isn't it too busy recently?" Ye Lai stared at Ye Nuochen's back and smiled.

Seeing Ye Lai eating noodles, Liu Jing sat on the sofa and picked up the remote control to tune the channel. When she saw the title "A murder occurred in Tanjiacun", she put down the remote control in her hand and started watching it attentively.

The deceased was an old man in his eighties, who was found dead on the bed by a neighbor knocking on the door, with a peaceful look on his face. According to the forensic examination, the deceased had no obvious signs of trauma, and the specific cause needs further investigation.

Ye Lai occasionally glanced at the TV, and said without much reaction: "He died on the bed, with a peaceful look, no external injuries, and in his 80s, maybe he died of old age."

"Since it's old and dead, then this title is too much." Liu Jing muttered and changed the channel.

Ye Lai buried her head in eating the noodles and didn't make a sound.

When going to bed tonight, Ye Nuochen didn't put the dagger on the bedside, and sure enough, she didn't have any dreams related to Mu Lingsheng again, and she slept peacefully.

On the other side, in the middle of the night, Ye Lai frowned, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he couldn't move all over his body, like a ghost pressing a bed, and there was a voice whispering in his ear all the time, he couldn't make out what he was saying, noisy As for the haste, the only thing that can be confirmed is a man's voice, thick but old.

At this time, Ye Lai was half asleep and half awake. He clearly remembered that the house was pasted with a town house charm, and no ghosts were allowed to come in to make trouble, unless it was in a dream, but this feeling was as real as if someone was really talking in his ear. Not like a dream.

With doubts, Ye Lai suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the pitch-black ceiling in a daze for a few seconds, then turned his head to look at the bedside, nothing but blackness, the endless darkness, the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were dark blue , just blocked the dots of light outside.

Who was speaking in his ear just now?

With such doubts, Ye Lai closed his eyes again, this time he finally fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, Ye Nuochen was woken up by the phone ringing, and in a bad mood picked up the phone next to the pillow and looked at the caller ID on it - Mu Lingsheng.

If it was before, he might sit up happily immediately, but now, he is only irritable, and he still put it to his ear and said unhappily: "What are you doing?"

"My grandfather passed away." Mu Lingsheng was depressed and even sighed in a sad tone.

"Ah? When did it happen?" Hearing this, Ye Nuochen asked in a panic, not knowing how to comfort her.

"Just yesterday, there was no one around, and we didn't even see each other for the last time. My mother is crying very sad now."

Ye Nuochen heard Mu Lingsheng's voice choked up, and his heart ached: "Maybe your grandfather is old, and when he reaches a certain age, he will naturally... So don't be sad, just let your condolences flow."

"I don't know why, but at this moment, I really want someone by my side to comfort me and tell me not to be sad. The only person I can think of is you."

Hearing this, Ye Nuochen was very surprised and pleasantly surprised, and even more in disbelief, "Why is it only me? What about Lin Ke? Didn't he come with you?"

"He's still in school. I didn't tell him about it, and he didn't know about my leave."

"Why didn't you tell him." Ye Nuochen seemed to understand something, but he didn't understand anything.

"I don't want him to worry, for fear that my affairs will affect his study."

Sure enough, the person Mu Lingsheng cared about the most was Lin Ke, so he told himself that he wanted to comfort him, and not telling Lin Ke was to prevent Lin Ke from worrying about affecting his studies.

Thinking of this, Ye Nuochen smiled bitterly and stopped talking.

"Thank you for comforting me, I feel much better now."

"That's good, if there's nothing wrong, then..."

"I know, bye!"

The other party hung up mercilessly, making Ye Nuochen caught off guard and angry and annoyed at the same time.

Ye Nuochen got out of bed, came to the living room, and found Ye Lai holding the phone, walking around the living room with a frantic look on his face, with a particularly aggressive tone.

"No wonder I didn't sleep last night. It turned out that Master passed away. Yan Guojun, you live only a few hundred meters away from Master. Why didn't you find out that something happened to him?"

"Junior brother, I'm so busy every day, running around all day, how can I have time to stay at home, my home in Tanjiacun is just a decoration, besides, the master is getting old, it's normal at a damn age, what can I do?" ?”

"What can you do? Well, I don't want to discuss this topic with you now. Where are you now?"

"I'm on my way to Tanjia Village, when will you arrive?"

"I'll come over now."

It turned out that in the news on TV yesterday, the old man in his 80s who died peacefully at home was his master. Why didn't he notice so much?He didn't sleep well last night, and his master entrusted him with a dream.

"Dad, who are you calling so angry?"

It's not that Ye Nuochen has never seen Ye Lai angry, but this time he saw his father's sadness more.

"Would you like to go to Tanjia Village with me?" Ye Lai wanted to take Ye Nuochen to meet the master, and more importantly, he wanted to know the cause of the master's death.

"Okay." Ye Nuochen agreed without hesitation.

When I thought that this matter was related to Mu Lingsheng and my father, where I could see Mu Lingsheng, Yan Wenbo, and even Yan Wenbo's father, Yan Guojun, I was a little excited and looking forward to it. Ye Nuochen, who was surrounded by layers of relationships, felt that his brain was not enough.
