"You have not completed what you promised me, so I have nothing to say about the tattoo client."
"I thought you had some real abilities, but I didn't expect you were just a show-off!"
"You still call yourself a master or an expert, I'm really not ashamed!"
Listening to Lin Xiaoqi's merciless sarcasm, Lonnie couldn't hold it back anymore.
"How can you be so ungrateful in what you say? We are asking for your help, but don't forget, we went to that ghost building today to help you!"
"You can laugh at us all you want now, but the solution to the female ghost's matter will ultimately fall on you. If you can't solve it, what will the folks in Bashui Township think of you?"
"I wonder if you can still sit here and drink tea leisurely when the time comes!"
Listening to Lonnie's scolding, Lin Xiaoqi couldn't say a word. He was stunned for a long time, and finally he could only sigh.
"Then you tell me, what should I do?"
I thought for a few seconds and then said: "The person who tied the bell must be tied to untie the bell. I think we should ask the old Lintou for clarification."
Lin Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment: "You mean, Old Lintou still has something to hide from us?"
I nodded: "That house is very weird inside. It should not just be a matter of a female ghost getting pregnant, there must be other inside stories."
"Okay, I will take you to find him early tomorrow morning!"
Lin Xiaoqi calmed down. Although he still didn't tell us about the tattoo customer, his attitude towards it had changed a lot.
They treated the three of us to a delicious meal and arranged a few rooms for us to stay in. He said he would meet us early tomorrow morning and go ask Lao Lintou together.
The next morning, after breakfast, Lonnie, Bai Ze and I met up with Lin Xiaoqi and went to Lao Lintou's house again.
Old Lintou was lying on the bedside drinking porridge. Although he could not move yet, he looked much better.
"Master Lin, Master Cheng, you are here!"
Seeing a few of us coming over, Lao Lintou's face was full of excitement.
"Has the matter with the female ghost been resolved?"
"about there."
Lin Xiaoqi nodded and then asked: "Old Lin, it was your son Lin Tao who told us about the situation yesterday. After all, he is not the first person involved, so we want to know if you have anything else to add?"
I also interjected: "Did you miss anything about the house at the east end of the town?"
Hearing this question, a look of panic suddenly appeared on Lao Lintou's face, and he quickly lowered his head to sip the porridge.
"There is nothing to add. My son has already told you what needs to be said."
Old Lintou's eyes were a little evasive, and he lowered his head and said.
Of course, Lao Lintou's poor acting skills could not be hidden from our eyes. Lin Xiaoqi also saw a clue. He immediately stood up and glanced at Lao Lintou with some displeasure.
"Old Lin, we are here this time to deal with the female ghost possessing you. If you don't tell us the situation in detail, it will be difficult for us to deal with it."
"When the resentment in your body grows to a certain level, the female ghost will possess you again, and I won't be able to save you by then!"
When Lao Lin heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. He hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Master Lin, I really didn't hide anything. I told you everything."
Lin Xiaoqi immediately became angry and was about to step forward to question him, but I quickly grabbed him.
"Well, Old Uncle Lin, since you have said everything you need to say, we won't bother you anymore and will contact you later."
After saying that, I pulled Lin Xiaoqi and walked out of Lao Lintou's house.
"Boy, what are you doing? That old Lintou obviously didn't tell the truth!"
After coming outside, Lin Xiaoqi looked at me angrily, very puzzled by what I did.
"Master Lin, don't be angry. Old Lin is determined not to tell us. How can you still pry his mouth open?"
I looked at Lin Xiaoqi with a smile and said.
"But……"
Lin Xiaoqi was about to say something when he noticed my expression and asked, "Do you already have a solution?"
I smiled lightly: "Master Lin is really smart. I invite you to watch a big show tonight!"
…
After nightfall, at Lao Lintou's home.
"Dad, I think there's something wrong with your expression today. Is there really something you're hiding from Master Lin and the others?"
Lin Tao asked suspiciously after delivering dinner.
"Shut up! Stop asking about me!"
Old Lintou shouted to his son with a cold face.
"But……"
"It's nothing, just go back to your home quickly, I don't need you to take care of me here!"
Lin Tao was also very embarrassed by Lao Lintou's bad attitude, so he could only walk out with a sullen face without saying a word.
After Lin Tao left, only Lao Lintou himself was left in the room.
He lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and finally grabbed a bottle of white wine on the bedside table and drank a few gulps.
After a few sips of strong wine, Old Lintou's restless heart relaxed a little. He covered the cup and was about to fall asleep in a daze.
squeak--
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly hit and blew the door open.
Old Lin's head trembled, and he felt a little more awake.
He remembered that when his son left, it was obviously locked. How did the door open by itself?
A chill surged into his heart, and Old Lintou couldn't help but hugged himself tightly and looked in the direction of the door with some fear.
"whee……"
A burst of girlish laughter came from outside the door, and before he could react, he saw a girl in plain clothes appearing in front of him!
"I died so miserably..."
The girl's eyes were dull, staring at Old Lintou with a pair of empty eyes, and she made a creepy sound.
"Yes, it's you!"
Old Lintou was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Aren't you dead?"
"I died so miserably..."
The girl turned a deaf ear and continued to approach Lao Lintou.
"Please, spare me!"
Old Lin struggled to get up and kowtowed to the girl. His forehead hit the edge of the bed, making a crisp sound.
"I really didn't mean it back then. I, I really didn't want to kill you!"
Lao Lin was crying and kowtowing while explaining.
"But, you killed me, and you must pay with your life!"
The girl's sharp nails were less than half an inch away from Old Lintou's throat, and the cold touch made Old Lintou almost collapse.
"Ugh, I kidnapped you back then just to get some ransom from your house to give the old woman medical treatment. I really didn't know you had asthma!"
"So, you admit that you committed an unforgivable crime back then?"
