Chapter 130 Spontaneous Combustion
The man lying on the bed covered his whole body with a quilt.
After seeing this scene, I couldn't help but think in my heart: Could it be that the one lying under the quilt was the paper man who had disappeared in the store before?
Just as I walked towards the wooden bed, the door behind me slammed and closed it myself.
"Who is it?" I turned around and looked behind me and found that there was no one near the door.
It seems that Mr. Qin’s coffin shop has really come in tonight with unclean things.
I want to see what kind of monster is lying on this bed!
Thinking of this, I mustered up the courage and rushed to the edge of the bed with a single step, and directly used the peach wood sword in my hand to lift the quilt open.
Lying under the quilt was indeed the paper man who had been spun.
Seeing the paper man lying motionless on my bed, the corner of his mouth seemed to be sneering.
"What are you?!" I asked at the paper man with a peach wood sword in my hand.
When the paper man heard what I said, he suddenly raised his arm, moved his neck, and sat up from the bed.
The paper man's pale face slowly twisted over, and his dark red eyes stared at me and suddenly said:
"Zhang Chujiu, I'm here to find you~ You are me, I am you..."
The sound of this paper man even speaking was somewhat similar to mine.
"Who asked you to come here to find me? If you don't tell me the truth, the peach wood sword in my hand will never be polite to you!" I asked staring at the paper man sitting on the bed.
The paper man laughed after hearing this, and he smiled and said to me:
"Hehehehehehehehehehehehe... Then don't hesitate, do it, I have your birth date and horoscope on me, I am you, you are closely related to me, if you kill me with the peach wood sword, you will not be able to escape the bad luck."
When I heard the paper man's words, I immediately didn't know what to do with him.
Although I don’t really believe what this paper man said in my heart, I’m afraid of everything, if what he said is true, it will be troublesome.
"What's wrong? Don't dare to attack me? Since you don't dare to attack me, I'm not polite!" The paper man suddenly jumped out of the bed and rushed towards me.
The paper man is extremely agile and I had no idea at all, so I was directly hugged by the paper man who rushed over.
I tried to break free with all my strength, but the paper man was extremely strong. The arms that hugged my whole body were like a giant iron pliers, and I couldn't fight for it at all.
I stared at the pale and weird paper man in front of me, and suddenly thought of a solution. I bit through the blood on the tip of my tongue with my teeth, and sprayed a big mouthful of it on the paper man's face!
The blood on the tip of the tongue and the blood on the fingertips are the most yang blood in the human body, so after the paper man was sprayed, he immediately let go of his arms and hugged me, covering his face with his hands and screamed and retreated.
I saw that the blood on the tip of my tongue was useful to the paper man, so I took advantage of the blood in my mouth and chased me and sprayed it again.
The paper man let out a sharp scream again.
I immediately used the peach wood sword in my hand to pierce the paper man's chest directly.
After the paper man was pierced by the peach wood sword, his whole body stopped moving, and his sharp and harsh screams also stopped abruptly.
After seeing the Paper Man's situation, I pulled the peach wood sword out of the Paper Man.
The paper man fell straight back to the ground. I opened my yin and yang eyes and looked at the paper man. I didn't see any evil spirits on it, so I felt relieved.
Although I solved the problem with the Paper Man, I still know nothing about the mastermind behind it, and I can't find any useful clues from the Paper Man.
I can't even tell whether the one attached to the paper man was the wronged soul after death or some kind of evil trick of manipulating the paper man, let alone find the mastermind through the paper man.
I squatted down and saw the place where the paper man's chest was pierced by a peach wood sword. The surrounding circle began to turn black, as if it had been burned by a flame.
Just as I was about to study this paper man further, the door knock sounded again outside the store.
After hearing the knock on the door, I instinctively picked up the peach wood sword placed on the ground and walked out.
"Qujiu, open the door, why did you lock the door?!" Jiang Chao's voice came from outside the door.
When I heard Jiang Chao's voice, my first reaction was to doubt whether the person standing outside the door was Jiang Chao.
"Jiang Chao, when we went to the orchard to steal peaches from a young age, where did you get bitten by a dog?" I asked.
Jiang Chao outside the door was stunned when he heard me asking him this:
"Chujiu, why did you suddenly ask about this? The biting of my butt made me sleep on my side for several days!"
After hearing Jiang Chao's answer, I knew that Jiang Chao was standing outside the door at this time.
So I quickly opened the store door. The moment I opened the door, I suddenly remembered a detail: When was the store door locked?
In my memory, after Jiang Chao left, I never locked the door again. Could it be that the dirty thing I just got in locked?
Just as I was thinking, Jiang Chao walked in from outside the door, and he looked at me and asked:
"Chujiu, what's wrong with you? I see that your face is a little bit wrong."
I first closed the store door, and then told Jiang Chao about what had just happened in the store.
After hearing this, Jiang Chao said:
"No wonder you asked me where I was bitten by a dog when I knocked on the door. The wronged soul who wanted to harm you was so cunning and could also learn from Officer Qin. But then again, you haven't opened the door for the wronged soul before. How did that thing enter the store and attach it to the paper man?"
I shook:
"I can't figure it out, either. The paper man is still in the room. When my master and Mr. Qin come back, I will let them see the paper man. Maybe they can find any clues in the paper man."
"Let's go and see the paper man again." Jiang Chao said.
So I took Jiang Chao to my room.
As soon as we entered the room, we were both stunned at the same time.
Because the paper man in the room disappeared, only a pile of burnt black ashes were left.
"Did the paper man burn it himself?" Jiang Chao asked, looking at the pile of black ashes on the ground.
"I just went to open the door for you. I was still there. I didn't expect that it would burn by itself in this moment." When I looked at the paper man before, I found that its chest had begun to turn black, which should be a sign of the paper man's spontaneous combustion.
It seems that the enemy who was hiding in the dark wanted to harm me was more cunning than the fox. After the failure, he did not leave any useful clues. The paper man spontaneously ignited, and the clues were cut off here. Even if my master and Mr. Qin came back, they could not find the mastermind behind it.
Jiang Chao sighed:
"Oh... Chujiu, I think this time it should be the murderer who wants to kill you the entire Zhang family. You have no other enemies except that person."
Hearing Jiang Chao's words, I clenched my left fist and secretly swore in my heart that I must find this murderer, avenge my parents and the entire Zhang family!
Jiang Chao and I finished cleaning the paper ash in the room, and it was already midnight.
After experiencing what happened just now, Jiang Chao stayed directly in the coffin shop to rest.
At night, I dreamed that I was tied to a wooden stake, with firewood piled up under me, and the few people around me were holding torches in their hands, as if they wanted to burn me to death.
