Sister Lin and Brother Zhao took Qu Zhaoye and followed the little sister upstairs while listening to her talk.
The little girl's voice was soft, but she spoke very clearly, "The night before yesterday, I woke up thirsty in the middle of the night to drink water. When I went back to the room, I saw a figure falling outside the window... I was frightened. My parents were woken up by my voice. My father was worried that I was wrong, because there are cars downstairs, so it is impossible for a person to fall without making any sound."
Then we ran down together to take a look, and it turned out that the downstairs was empty, and indeed there was nothing. My parents said that I was wrong, that it was a dream when I was asleep, and told me not to think too much..."
The little girl originally thought she was dazzled, but the clear feeling of panic lingered in her heart.
Until last night, when she was lying on the bed, she couldn't help but glance at the window again.
The moment she looked over, the blurry figure fell out of her window again.
Extreme fear made her scream again.
The parents heard the sound and rushed over. What they saw was their daughter huddled on the bedside with her head in her arms, pointing to the window and tremblingly saying, "Someone... fell, fell down again!"
This time the couple called the police directly. After all, once it could be an accident, but twice in a row either there was a ghost or someone was playing tricks on them.
The little girl explained that they had just moved here, and her parents worked in a nearby factory, so she was the only one at home today.
"It's hard for my parents to ask for leave, and I don't know how to get around this community right now, so I just dare to wait for you at the door..." the little girl said a little apologetically.
Lin Hui waved his hand. "It's okay! Don't worry, this little bit of road is a small problem for my brother and sister."
Zhao Lei followed closely. "Yes, we are professionals, we just find a way, no problem."
Qu Zhaoye:"."
In fact, they had already read the relevant information on the way here, and initially determined that it was Earthbound Spirit trapped here. But the strange thing is that according to the information provided by the police, there has been no record of a suicide by jumping from a building in this place in the past twenty years.
The three people sat cross-legged on the rooftop. Qu Zhaoye put away the information. "Wait, according to the information provided by the police, the other party appeared twice at three o'clock in the morning."
Lin Wei stretched out and said, "Then I'll sleep first and my shift will change in two hours."
"I'm fine, what about you, Brother Ye?" Zhao Lei looked at Qu Zhaoye.
Qu Zhaoye: "I have more energy. I deserve it until the end."
"Okay, then if I wake up, I'll switch shifts with you."
"Hmm."
The little girl came up to give some fruit on the way. It must have been given to her by her parents when they came back. Qu Zhaoye was sitting against the wall, eating bananas while looking at the empty rooftop.
Around seven o'clock, Fang Yi called him through Feifei.
Qu Zhaoye then closed his eyes and synesthetized with Feifei.
From the perspective of Feifei, Fang Yi is very tall, wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt that is obviously very old. The cotton fabric has been washed very soft, and is slightly white and soft.
Completely different from what Qu Zhaoye thought, Fang Yi's pajamas are just a pair of short-sleeved shorts that are worn until they are worn out, and the lower body is shorts that expose her thighs.
He subconsciously controlled Feifei to look away.
"Feifei, is your master here?" Fang Yi leaned down slightly and put the tablet in his hand over.
Feifei nodded immediately, climbed onto the tablet with his whole body and started typing.
[What's wrong, brother?]
Fang Yi sat aside. "Didn't Feifei hide on his own when he saw someone? This afternoon Feifei kept lying on my body without moving. When a guest came, he almost threw it away as waste paper."
Qu Zhaoye didn't know about this, but he probably guessed the reason. His face turned crimson, Feifei was waving his hands innocently and it no longer had anything to do with him.
[Brother, it's because of me that I missed you so much when I was riding in the car in the afternoon. Feifei was affected]
Fang Yi fell into a brief silence as he looked at the words on the screen. "Love words?"
[If these are love words, then every word I say to my brother is love words]
Fang Yi:"Funny words."
[Sincerity]
Fang Yi:"..."
Fang Yi:"What are you doing?"
[Doing tasks]
"Are you still doing your mission so late?"
[Ghosts rarely come out during the day]
Yes.
Fang Yi stopped disturbing him and asked him to do his job well. Qu Zhaoye agreed with a smile, but it was a pity that Fang Yi couldn't hear it.
After cutting off synaesthesia with Feifei, Qu Zhaoye's mind was filled with the images he had just seen.
The previous few times I saw Fang Yi, he was always wearing long clothes and long trousers. I never expected to see another Fang Yi in this situation.
I don't know whether I should be glad that I didn't tell Fang Yi that today's mission does not require the use of special communication equipment, so the two of them can actually contact WeChat directly.
He changed his sitting position and covered his face with his arms. He didn't know what to think now.
Staying up until three in the morning, Qu Zhaoye woke the other two people up, and the three of them half-crouched cautiously behind a water tower.
Zhao Lei:"How to say?"
Lin Wei started to take out tools. "What can I say? Tie the soul first and don't let her jump. Otherwise, tonight's squatting will be in vain. Here."
Seeing the soul slowly walking towards the edge of the rooftop to jump off, the mulberry silk wrapped around Lin Wei's fingertips shot out like a spiritual snake. Zhao Lei tacitly played the soul-fixing talisman, while Qu Zhaoye stood by to prevent accidents.
In an instant, Earthbound Spirit was gently bound by the flexible mulberry silk, and was fixed in place.
Lin Wei pulled the soul back to the center of the rooftop with both hands, and the three of them began to try to communicate.
At first, she just whimpered and repeated "liar" and "beast".
Because the other party was a woman, the job of comforting her was left to Lin Wei. Under her gentle guidance, the consciousness of her broken soul gradually condensed, and she told the whole story intermittently.
She said that she was twenty-one years old when she first entered society, and she was as innocent as a blank piece of paper.
A thirty-four-year-old man launched a fierce and mature pursuit of her, easily conquering her with tenderness and care.
It wasn't until she got deeply involved that she found out that the other person was already married and had children.
Unable to bear the shame of being deceived, she went to confront the man, but what she got in exchange was not an apology. Instead, the man bit back in order to protect himself, shifting all the responsibility to her, and slandering her as the one who took the initiative to seduce her.
Rumors and a huge sense of humiliation swallowed her up. In the end, she chose to end her young life on the top of this building. Her obsession persisted after her death, turning into Earthbound Spirit, who jumped off the building repeatedly every day.
Lin Wei stood up and looked at each other with his two companions.
Zhao Lei took out his notebook and planned to record. "Do you still remember that man's name and workplace?"
The woman on the ground wiped her tears. "His name is Wang Jianye. He was in the supply and marketing department of Third Cotton Spinning Mill at the time. Everyone called him Section Chief Wang..."
Lin Wei touched his chin and asked Qu Zhaoye: "Thirty years ago, would it have been possible for this person to use his connections to conceal this case?"
Qu Zhaoye shook his head. "I don't know, but there will definitely be no problem starting from him."
Lin Wei nodded, squatted next to the woman and whispered to her, "We will verify the truth. Now, it's time for you to put down this endless pain."
The woman didn't say a word, she just cried silently. She couldn't let go of the grievances she had suffered for so many years.
Lin Wei said no more, stood up and took a step back. The two people around him immediately understood.
After Lin Wei gently loosened the mulberry silk that bound the soul, Zhao Lei took out a special piece of paper with the incantation of the afterlife from the tool bag and handed it to Qu Zhaoye.
Qu Zhaoye took the talisman and flicked it with his fingertips. The talisman ignited spontaneously without fire, exuding a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, dispelling the coldness condensed by resentment around him.
The three of them each stood on one side, holding the Seal of Rebirth with their hands. The three of them began to recite the salvation sutra at the same time. Their voices were clear and contained the power to soothe people's hearts.
Under the guidance of the power of the scriptures and the collective thoughts of the three people, the black resentment and despair surrounding the female soul began to dissipate like ice and snow illuminated by the sun.
The painful and distorted expression on her face gradually calmed down, and she returned to her delicate and gentle appearance.
She raised her head and looked at the three young men in front of her who were helping her. There was no resentment in her eyes, only a sense of relief and a trace of gratitude.
Then she bowed solemnly towards the three of them.
With this bow, her spirit body became lighter and more transparent, eventually turning into countless shimmering particles.
Like a firefly rising in the night sky, it gently dissipates between heaven and earth, heading to the peaceful place she should have gone to long ago.
On the rooftop, the last trace of haze dissipated, leaving only the cold moonlight and the distant hustle and bustle of the city.
Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief and moved his shoulders, "Finally... it's over."
Zhao Lei started to pack things and pushed up his glasses. "Half and half, the rest has to be handed over to the department for investigation."
