Could not hold back 1533

, slamming the door shut. I cracked a window and, clutching Lei Jue, swung at the chasing scarecrow with all my might.The scarecrow lurched, and my brother immediately threw a burning charcoal at it....I took six-year-old Chongmo with me to the destination. In a neighborhood of rental houses where urban and rural areas meet, we found Officer Ma, who was in charge.

Officer Ma's face looked a little pale, with dark circles under his eyes. I wonder if it was because of this case that he looked so exhausted.

"That small rental building doesn't have many tenants left. The one on the 2nd to 4th floor, they found blood seeping from the wall cracks, and they were scared out of their minds. The two neighboring houses also quickly moved away." Officer Ma led the way in front, secretly glancing at Chong Mo: "This is..."

Could he have noticed Chong Mo's abnormality After all, he'd seen more corpses than the average person.

"Oh, this is my brother. He's afraid I might be scared alone, so he came to have a look... Mountain folk are not very talkative, please excuse us."

I glared at Chongmo, still not putting away that menacing look of yours! You look like a suspect!

Chongmo swallowed his complaints in order to personally visit the site of the ghost story.

The rental houses in this small place are particularly cheap, with the lowest starting at 80 yuan per unit. Most tenants here are single individuals.

I listened to Officer Ma's introduction as we walked through the narrow, chaotic alleys with him, arriving at this small tenement building at the end of the road.

The building was only two stories tall, with a rusty ladder on the side leading up and down.

"There are still three households living here, one of whom is the man who broke the window and got in that day. He's sick and an important witness, so we won't let him move." Officer Ma pointed to door 2-1 upstairs.

"I'm going to go see him." I walked up the stairs.

There wasn't a single shop open in this building. The second-floor hallway was cold and silent, probably scared off by the case.

“The moment I got here, I felt a chill down my spine.” Officer Ma rubbed his arms. “We’re just small fry at the precinct level, we’ve seen some criminal cases before, but this is pretty unusual…”

Fortunately, 2-1 was right by the stairs. He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door, saying in a low voice, "Daqiang, it's Officer Ma. Open the door and let me ask you a few questions."

After knocking several times, a middle-aged woman with an angry face opened the door.

"Asking again Asking again Coming to ask questions every other day, refusing to let us move! He's been driven mad by this!" The middle-aged woman yelled.

Officer Ma was taken aback: "You are..."

"Who are you to me!"

Officer Ma looked at her wearing sweatpants and slippers, as if she lived here. He nodded knowingly and said, "Today a consultant came to handle this matter. They want to ask Daqiang about it. Please go out first."

The middle-aged woman angrily grabbed her cotton pajamas and stormed out.

"Is this his wife" I asked.

Officer Ma chuckled, "... a temporary wife."

Uh... does your wife have any temporary ones

"They're all here working, to save on living expenses and to avoid feeling lonely at night, so they just make do as couples." Officer Ma shook his head and smiled.

I'm too lazy to care, so I just followed him in.

You enter a large room with a TV, dining table, and bed all in one space. Inside there's a balcony, bathroom, and kitchen equipped with a small refrigerator, seemingly part of the package.

Chong's attention was immediately drawn to the small fridge on the balcony. I couldn't be bothered with him, so I let him go investigate the refrigerator door himself.

On a large bed, a man huddled in his blanket like a shrimp, facing the wall and trembling. He didn't care who came in.

I felt a chill run down my spine. I turned to Officer Ma and said, "Excuse me, I'm going to have to use some special methods to wake him up."

Officer Ma was taken aback for a moment before he could answer, when suddenly there was a loud "bang" from the balcony and Chong Mo ripped the refrigerator door off its hinges!

"Hey! Don't destroy other people's property—" Officer Ma was startled and turned to the balcony.

Here is the translation of your provided text:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Just then, I pulled out a small Shen family fire talisman, pinched the formula and slapped it on the man's back!

Of course, it couldn't set him on fire, but this talisman's power could dispel the chill.

Soon, I saw a wisp of gray mist emerge from his ears. After about a minute, the gray cold air emanating from his five senses dissipated.

"It's okay, Officer Ma. I'll pay for the refrigerator." I shouted from the balcony.

The man dressed like a shrimp, came to his senses, sat up and looked at us, asking, “Who are you…”

"I'm here as a consultant for the case that happened in the neighboring apartment a while back. I saw you shiver just now, so I exorcised some of it for you." I pointed at the burned-out talisman with my chin.

This man named Daqiang looked down at the talisman on his bed sheet. He was like someone who had found a life raft, kneeling on the bed excitedly and saying, "Are you a Taoist priest! Oh my goodness! I've been looking for a Taoist priest everywhere, but I didn't know where to find one..."

"Have you had any strange run-ins" I asked.

"That day, I climbed in through the window and opened the door. As a result, I stepped into that puddle of...corpse water...Oh my God, I couldn't eat or sleep, and I was freezing cold with a headache."

"You're fine now." I didn't want to hear this pointless talk.

He clutched my amulet and nodded emphatically, "My hometown says that when someone dies, you have to hire a sorcerer to conduct rituals. Master, please help us with an exorcism, otherwise we'll all be scared out of our wits living here!"

I lowered my voice and asked, "Have you seen..."

Ghost.

I asked with my lips.

"I think I scared him half to death," said Dazhong, trembling slightly.

"None I'm a bit confused, I just came upstairs and didn't feel any violent negativity."

Such a cruel case, could it be that the vengeful spirits have already been collected

"Officer Ma, can I go see 2-4" I asked.

"No, no, it's sealed off. Can't get in, we can only look from the hallway." Officer Ma waved his hand to stop me hurriedly.

The corridor is just the corridor. I stand in front of the window on the 2-4 floor. The window is covered with plastic sheeting, so I can only see inside from the gap.

Inside, it was empty. There was a dark stain on the ground.

It's strange, for such a cruel case, there are no ghosts at the scene.

Could it be that they were taken by the local goblins

"Officer Ma, when can I move out" Daqiang trembled at the edge of his room door. "I'm terrified to stay here any longer."

Officer Ma laughed, “Don't you have a fierce wife as your companion What are you afraid of.”

"Bah! She's not here to keep me company, the bitch is just here to ask me for money to gamble mahjong! Always out there gambling!"

“Alright, I’ll coordinate that for tomorrow. I’ll find you a place to rent nearby. That way, it’ll be easier to get in touch if anything comes up.”

Officer Ma is talking to Big Strong, while I'm checking out the room here.

"Come on, I think the balcony at the back seems to be unsealed..."

Officer Ma nodded. "The footprints were found on the balcony at the time. The search team searched all the way to the back mountain and found bloodstains in a small temple, so it was inferred that the murderer fled from the back mountain."

The murderer hasn't been caught, and the soul has vanished.

This ghost, if not handled carefully, could easily become a vengeful spirit. It died a terrible death.

Just as I was about to ask if it would be convenient for him to take us to see the small temple on the back mountain, Officer Ma was seen rubbing his eyes.cious. That's why you feel that female ghost has a high level of cultivation." Jiang Qiyun explained.I nodded. "Then why do they play with time, making those fated to die by the Death Register die pre...
