Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 147 【147】Did you kill someone?
"Where is it?" Jia Chen was taken aback by her loud voice, coupled with the rumors of ghosts, suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.

Holding up the mobile phone, the faint light crosses the courtyard wall and shines on the second floor of the courtyard.

There are two windows on this floor, both of which are hung with bright red curtains, covering the windows tightly, so how can there be anyone?
"Are you blind? There is no one on the second floor." Jia Chen patted the back of Wang Xifeng's hand and comforted him.

"I saw a figure flashing through the window just now. Maybe I was too nervous. Let's go quickly."

Wang Xifeng grabbed Jia Chen's wrist and ran up in a panic, apparently quite frightened.

When he ran out of the alley, he bumped into Xue Pan head-on.

"Have you found No. [-] in Group Seven?" Xue Pan asked.

"I found it, but there is no one at home, and the other party's phone is turned off, obviously someone is playing a prank." Jia Chen responded a little sullenly.

Being tricked into this shitty place in the middle of the night, anyone else would be angry.

Xue Pan sucked his teeth and exclaimed in surprise:
"Damn! I remembered, it's a haunted house!"

"Mom! Don't scare me!" Wang Xifeng exclaimed, and hurriedly got into the ambulance to hide.

Jia Chen's heart trembled, and he asked involuntarily:

"Master Xue, are you joking?"

Xue Pan said solemnly:
"Why did I lie to you? There was a massacre in that house, and all five members of the family died."

Is there such a thing?
In the past, Jia Chen assisted the police in solving many important cases. It stands to reason that he should remember this family extermination case, but now his memory is incomplete, and he can't remember it for a while.

After thinking for a while, Jia Chen murmured:

"Did you move into a new resident again?"

The address left on the emergency call is this haunted house, so the caller left the wrong address, right?

This possibility is remote.

Xue Pan's face became even uglier, and he said coldly:
"That is a haunted house. It has been abandoned for many years. There are still many empty houses in the village. Who would choose a haunted house to live in?"

"It makes sense!" Jia Chen nodded:

"Wang Xifeng and I confirmed just now that there is no one in that haunted house. If it is not haunted, then someone must have deliberately played a prank. Let's go back first?"

Xue Pan gave a thoughtful "hmm".

The three drove back to the hospital, and went back to the duty room to rest.

Just as Jia Chen was about to take a nap, another siren sounded from the speaker in the corner.

This shows that someone made an emergency call.

Jia Chen sighed softly, so he had no choice but to go to the bathroom to wash his face, arrange his clothes, and then walk through the corridor to the parking lot.

At this time, Wang Xifeng was standing next to the doctor's platform, and when he saw Jia Chen, he came over to greet him.

"Doctor Jia, something is wrong, and there is another emergency call, and it's actually the guy from just now."

Jia Chen was slightly taken aback, frowned and said:
"Another prank?"

"Even if it's a prank, we have to leave the car. This is a rigid rule of the hospital." Wang Xifeng shrugged helplessly, and said solemnly:

"You wait for me here for a while, I'll go get something, and then we'll go to the parking lot together."

After saying this, she left in a hurry, Jia Chen had no choice but to stay where she was and wait for her.

Suddenly, Zhen Baoyu walked over with a cigarette in his mouth, squinted his eyes and asked:

"Tonight is your first night shift after you recovered. Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Jia Chen's heart warmed slightly, and he replied with a smile:

"It's okay, my head doesn't hurt, I just encountered a strange thing."

As he spoke, he recounted the prank he had just encountered.

Zhen Baoyu frowned, and persuasively said:
"Then be careful, my hometown is Zhenjia Village, that family has indeed been exterminated, it is a haunted house."

Jia Chen's heart trembled, he thought Xue Pan was joking, but now that Zhen Baoyu said the same thing, it seems that the haunted house is really weird.

At this moment, Wang Xifeng ran back in a panic, and handed Jia Chen a pair of large iron tongs.

"Why did you give me this?" Jia Chen asked in surprise.

"I borrowed it from the hospital's plumber specifically to use it as a weapon for self-defense."

Jia Chen was a little speechless, how dare this girl want to beat ghosts with iron tongs?

"Is this small bottle in your hand medicine?" Jia Chen raised his finger.

"This is anti-wolf spray. It was originally used to guard against perverts. It can be used to deal with ghosts tonight." Wang Xifeng grinned in a serious manner.

It's just nonsense!
Jia Chen curled his lips, not wanting to talk to this whimsical little girl anymore, and hurried to the parking lot.

At this time, the back door of the ambulance was open, and Xue Pan had just pushed the stretcher into the compartment.

Jia Chen was a little strange, why did he change the stretcher?

The stretcher just now was clean, so there was no need to replace it.

Is there something tricky in here?
With no time to think about it, Jia Chen got into the car and rushed to Zhenjia Village again with Xue Pan and Wang Xifeng.

"You guys knock on the door first, I'll turn around." Xue Pan said the same thing as when he first came here.

Wang Xifeng was a little reluctant and wanted Xue Pan and Jia Chen to accompany her to the haunted house.

Being accompanied by two big men can make her feel more at ease.

But Xue Pan's attitude was very firm, and he must turn the car around first.

In desperation, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to follow Jia Chen to the door of No. [-] in the seventh group.

Jia Chen glanced at his phone, it was already half past twelve midnight.

The whole haunted house was shrouded in the thick ink-like night, like a beast crouching in the gloomy hell, ready to devour the living at any time.

Wang Xifeng hid behind Jia Chen, holding the anti-wolf spray tightly in his hand, not daring to breathe.

Jia Chen was also apprehensive, but he didn't believe in ghosts and gods. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door boldly.

No one answered inside.

"Is there anyone at home?" Jia Chen called again, but still no one responded.

"It's really evil." Jia Chen took out his mobile phone and dialed the other party's number, but the prompt was turned off.

Wang Xifeng complained indignantly: "If someone is really playing a prank, then this person is too wicked."

Jia Chen frowned, feeling that it was not that simple.

"Let's go back first."

Jia Chen led Wang Xifeng back to the ambulance, and found Xue Pan standing at the rear of the car, looking around furtively, as if looking for someone.

"What are you looking at?" Jia Chen patted his shoulder curiously.

Xue Pan was caught off guard, shivered, and said with a dry smile:

"I didn't see anything, is there anyone in that haunted house?"

"No one." Jia Chen curled his lips and told what happened just now.

"This bastard really lacks the virtues of eight lifetimes!" Xue Pan scolded sweetly, and drove Jia Chen and Wang Xifeng back to the hospital.

After getting off the car in the parking lot, Jia Chen saw Zhen Baoyu squatting in the smoking area not far away, smoking.

He kept his head down, huddled in a dimly lit corner, and couldn't see his face clearly, but Jia Chen felt that he had been sneaking glances at him, like a thief who was setting out to steal.

Jia Chen feels that both Xue Pan and Zhen Baoyu are a little abnormal tonight.
