Chapter 29: Plum Blossom Three Tricks Alley No. 18

  When Liu Ermao and Duan Juan went out on a mission, only Lin Jie and Guan Tingting were left in the office. I told them that the woman who was killed in the Le Fan Tian bar murder case a year ago was Qin Suer's twin sister, Qin Yuer, the popular dancer at the bar who had caused a sensation throughout the small county town!

  Guan Tingting asked me if I found any clues. I said no, and she seemed to know nothing about her sister's situation. Lin Jie then said: "Shen Shangyu, is that girl cheating on you? In fact, Qin Yuer is Qin Su'er, Qin Su'er is Qin Yuer..."

  Lin Jie, this shameless dog, can't even spit out ivory from his mouth, isn't he cursing me and Qin Su'er? I scolded: "Lin Jie, shut your damn mouth! Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"

  Lin Jie saw me getting angry and didn't dare say anything else.

  "Hey Shangyu, tomorrow is the weekend, why don't you call your good buddy and ask his dad, Lao Tian, to come with us to Meishan Mountain?" Gu Tingting suddenly asked.

  I remembered Qin Su'er's words and hesitated without speaking.

  "Shen Shangyu, aren't you scared out of your wits? You're really a coward, I despise you!" Guan Tingting shouted.

  Damn it, this sentence coming from Guan Tingting's mouth actually has some weight. I spat out: "Who says I don't dare to accompany you to Mei Mountain? Let's go! Tomorrow I'll accompany you!"

  As soon as I spoke, I regretted it. Although I didn't clearly promise Qin Su'er that I wouldn't go to Mei Mountain, I still vaguely felt a bit sorry for her. However, thinking about it again, going to Mei Mountain doesn't necessarily mean disturbing the spirit of her sister Qin Yu'er? Thinking this way, my heart calmed down again.

  I called Tianji and told him that I wanted to invite his father, Tian Lao Dao, to go up Mei Mountain tomorrow. Tianji readily agreed, but still asked if Guan Tingting would be going together.

  That little rascal is really cheap, infatuated to the point of being confused. That night on Mei Mountain was just taught a lesson by Guan Tingting, and after only one day, he actually recovered from his injuries and forgot about the pain!

  However, I have to admit that Guan Tingting is not only the beauty of the criminal police team, but also has a beautiful and skilled figure. Any man would be moved by her. If Guan Tingting took the initiative to follow me, I would also unhesitatingly accept her.

  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but go and see Guan Tingting.

  Gu Tingting noticed the abnormality in my gaze, her face actually turned red, and she stared at me fiercely, scolding: "Shen Shangyu, are you having some kind of perverted thoughts again?!"

  This girl is beautiful even when she's angry! I smiled and replied: "I'm thinking, should I chase you to be my girlfriend?"

  "Get out!" Gu Tingting spat at me and cursed again: "You're daydreaming!"

  Lin Jie suddenly became more intense than Guan Tingting, sourly shouting: "Shen Shangyu, I'm warning you, don't have any ideas about Guan Tingting! Now that you've got Qin Suer, don't think about Guan Tingting anymore... Don't be thinking of the pot while eating from the bowl..."

  Look at this posture, Lin Jie's attitude towards Guan Tingting is already seriously ill. I spread my hands and shrugged my shoulders, laughing: "Wow! The vinegar taste is so strong... someone is eating vinegar!"

  "Damn it! Lin Jie, I'm warning you too, don't just shift the blame onto me for no reason! What if I told you that I actually like Shen Shangyu?"

  "What else can you do, it's your freedom......" Lin Jie had nothing to say.

  Guān Tíngtíng coldly snorted and said: "Good that you know!"

  These girls must have really fallen for me? Yeah, Guan Tingting saw that I had a face like the star Tony Leung and a pair of long legs like those of Korean stars, so she probably wants to compete fairly with Qin Suer, it's hilarious.

  Qin Suer? Guan Tingting? If I had to choose between the two, who would I choose? I thought deeply in my heart. Unexpectedly, Qin Suer's pale and beautiful face quickly became clear in my mind, and she actually took the upper hand!

  It turns out that deep down, I still like Qin Suer more! I vaguely feel that since meeting Qin Suer, I have been slowly changing, and the former Shen Shangyu who fell in love with one person at a time has disappeared...

  It's almost weekend, there's nothing much going on in the team. After lunch, I changed into casual clothes and left the office early.

  Drove around the small county town, had dinner with Tianji again in the evening, killing time at Xiangxi Old Story Bar. It's also strange that if it were before, whether in police school or Shenzhen, as soon as I entered a bar, I would hook up with girls everywhere. Today, however, I just hoped that time would pass quickly, and by 9 o'clock in the evening, I could meet Qin Su'er.

  I didn't say much during the meal, and there was a pretty little girl who kept throwing flirtatious glances at me. I was too lazy to bother with her, so I just quietly drank beer with Tianji. If it were any other day, she would have dared to seduce me, and I would have taken her out for a good scolding.

  I've been thinking, Qin Su'er's brave self-defense at the Le Fan Tian bar last night, her desolate and helpless face in Yuexiu Park. Whether it's because of my good feelings towards her or my heart needs her comfort, anyway, I feel like I can't leave her side now. Today is different from usual, I have an urgent desire to see her!

  At the Xiangxi Wenshi Bar, I entwined with Tianji until 8 pm and when sending him back to the Tians' Papercraft Shop, I brought up tomorrow's plan to invite his old man, Tian Laodao, to ascend Meishan.

  The paddy field frog looked a bit impatient and said, "Dude, you seem to be in a daze, are you sick or something? I've already agreed with you n times, what else do you want to say?"

  I smiled awkwardly and replied, "Sorry, I've been thinking about Qin Su'er all day today!"

  The two green bean-like eyes of the pheasant suddenly opened, with a very surprised expression. He shouted: "I say, brother, are you really moved by that chick?"

  I let out a sigh: "Probably..."

  The toad smiled wickedly and said, "Qin Su'er must have used magic to set up a trap, making Shen Da Gongzi fall into the love net, and now he's doomed..."

  I patted the shoulder of a wild rice bird and got on the car with a smile.

  The pheasant ran to the side of the car and asked me: "Brother, are you going home or somewhere else?"

  "Go to No. 18 Hutong on Mei Hua San Nong Street!"

  The pheasant was amazed: "So late, what's the point of going there? Meihua Santiao Street is in the old city district, and it has been abandoned for almost a year..."

  I'm so annoyed when others ask too many questions, impatiently saying: "What's the point of all this nonsense! Do I need your approval to go wherever I want?" As I said that, I started the car.

  The pheasant was flapping its wings against the car window, I rolled down the glass and asked: "What's wrong with your sister again?"

  The country boy's face turned pale, he looked around and leaned in close to my ear, saying: "Buddy, don't blame me for not warning you, that place is haunted, someone died there recently. I heard that after midnight, the sound of a female ghost crying can be heard, many people know about it."

  "Go... go... are there so many ghosts in this world? You're always talking about ghosts, are you cursing me?" I said and was about to drive away.

  "Hey, brother, be careful! That place is really evil, even more so than Mei Mountain..."

  Qin Su'er clearly told me that her home was just there, how could it be haunted? I didn't bother to reason with him and drove away from the Tian's paper shop.

  It was only eight o'clock in the evening, and the old city area was bustling with excitement. All kinds of large stalls were selling stir-fries, fried dishes, and boiled dumplings, filling the air with a delicious aroma.

  After passing Hongqiao, I drove a few hundred meters further and there was no road. I stopped the car by the side of the road and cursed in my heart: "Damn it, this is obviously already a suburb, but it's still named Meihua Santou (Plum Blossom Three Tricks), what a joke?"

  I slowly walked out of the old city, the lights of the whole city were already behind me, only a few street lamps stood there with a faint light. The farther I went towards the suburbs, the darker it became.

  Looking at the distant mountains shrouded in mist, I felt a chill run down my spine. The fierce ghost I met on Mei Mountain involuntarily appeared in my mind. I looked around and found that there was not a single person, just me walking alone like an idiot.

  Damn it, I'm actually a bit scared. I pulled out a cigarette and lit it with a snap, and in the light of the lighter, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at me in the darkness, a gloomy kind.

  My hair stood on end, and I felt a chill run down my spine. Could it be that I've encountered another ghost? That damned toad's mouth is really cheap, cursing me!

  I plucked up the courage to look ahead, but there was nothing, only the sound of the night wind rustling through the grass by the roadside. I was suspicious and frightened, scaring myself, so I spat on the ground several times.

  I walked quickly towards the front.

  After walking for about three miles, I finally saw a building standing alone in front of me, shining with lights, looking eerie and abnormal in the dark night.

  I felt a chill in my heart, isn't this just one street? Why is there only one house standing here on the entire street? I looked at the bluestone path on the ground and some abandoned houses, and immediately felt relieved. This place should have been a very prosperous area before, but with the migration of the city center, all the residents moved into the downtown area, leaving only Qin Su'er's family still living here.

  There is just such a building nearby, which should be No. 18 Hutong.

  Thinking of this, I let out a breath of relief, it seems that Qin Su'er really didn't cheat me.

  Before long, I walked in front of the building that was shining with lights. Upon closer inspection, the house was surprisingly magnificent, like a villa, and was no worse than the garden of my old mansion.

  The iron gate of the building was covered in rust and was slightly ajar. What's strange is that there was a yellow paper talisman stuck to the gate, the chicken blood on it had turned brown, probably from some time ago.

  When I saw the yellow paper symbol, I was a bit worried. Qin Su'er's home wouldn't be haunted like our old mansion, would it?
