The scene in front of me was really scary. The narrow storage room was actually arranged into a mourning hall, facing Sang Changdiao's portrait, and the green candlelight was really strange. In front of me, Gu Shuitao and others swallowed their saliva, and their scalp was a little numb.

Bai Xiao's eyes swept, and moved from the two red candles in front of the shrine to the three incense sticks with green Mars in the incense altar.

The storage room is not big, but strangely, there is a fragrance burning, but there is no smell in the room.

"Bai, Mr. Bai, what should I do next?"

Gu Shuitao, Officer Chen and Officer Liu looked at Bai Xiao and Su Qing. Of course, the one who said it was the "Mr. Bai" who was effective.

Bai Xiao looked at them, saw their nervous look, and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, the spirit field here has been broken by me. All we see is a real scene, there is nothing to be afraid of." As he said that, Bai Xiao walked into the storage room and came to the shrine to look at it.

The shrine is made of wood, with fine workmanship, painted with vermilion paint, and the style is relatively ordinary, similar to the shrine produced in large quantities on Taobao. However, the candles and incense in front of the shrine are somewhat particular. The surfaces of the two red candles are engraved with gold patterns, which looks a bit mysterious. Moreover, they have been burning for so many days but have not burned out, which means there must be a weirdness.

As for the three incense sticks, the same is true. After a few days, there was probably half of the incense left, and there was not even a trace of smoke, just like a decoration with electricity on.

Just as Bai Xiao reached out to touch the incense altar in front of the shrine, she suddenly frowned slightly and immediately retreated from the storage room.

"What's wrong?" Su Qing and Gu Shuitao and others didn't understand why.

Before Bai Xiao could speak, the phone ringing rang.

When I saw the number, it was called by Qu Bing upstairs.

"Hey?" Bai Xiao answered the phone.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you finding below?"

"We found a shrine dedicated to Sang Changdiao and a temporary mourning hall in the storage room." Bai Xiao briefly informed him of his discovery.

Qu Bing was silent for a moment and said, "The spirit field upstairs has disappeared. There is no one in the room now. Yu Ze and I will come down together."

After hearing this, Bai Xiao nodded slightly, "Then you come down. Now the abnormal situation is concentrated in the storage room downstairs."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiao looked at the scene in front of him and was silent for a moment. Su Qing, Gu Shuitao, Officer Chen, Officer Liu and others on the side stared slightly at this time, with a "dreaming" expression.

Not long after Bai Xiao left the storage room, the scene inside actually changed again.

The mourning hall is still the same mourning hall, and the shrine is still there. But in the open space in front of the shrine, a brazier suddenly appeared. At this time, three people were squatting beside the brazier, one old and one young, and they were Sang Changdiao's mother, wife, and son. The three of them were wearing dark clothes and squatting beside the brazier to burn "paper money" into the brazier.

"Paper money" are thrown into the brazier one by one, and the fire in the brazier is getting stronger and stronger.

At this time, the mother pushed her son and asked her to kneel in front of the shrine to kowtow to Sang Changdiao. The son did as he did, and kowtowed several times in a row.

Su Qing and his friends watched the scene in the storage room with wide eyes, and felt that they were watching a "silhouette movie", because of the lack of sound effects, the atmosphere was ghostly and quiet. Bai Xiao frowned slightly, staring at the "paper money" thrown into the brazier one by one, which was obviously just blank paper.

Soon, Qu Bing and the others came down and saw a scene in the storage room.

Qu Bing said: "The spirit field upstairs has disappeared, and this should be the root cause of this spiritual incident."

Bai Xiao nodded, pointed to the front and asked, "What's going on?"

Qu Bing exclaimed in surprise and said, "Mingchao?"

Seeing Bai Xiao’s confusing eyes coming, she explained: “What we usually call the dark money refers to paper money burned by living people to the dead, so it has patterns. The ‘mouth money’ in front of us is burned by dead people, so it only needs the blessing of the willpower, and it doesn’t matter whether there is a pattern or not.”

"But there is something strange here." Su Qing suddenly said, seeing the confusing eyes of others, she said, "If this kind of dark money is burned to the dead, then Sang Changdiao's three family members and Sang Changdiao are all dead people, why do they still burn paper money for Sang Changdiao?"

This behavior, if you think about it carefully, is indeed very strange.

Bai Xiao and Qu Bing were slightly stunned. Yes, if they were all dead, there should be no problem of who would burn it to whom. But the scene in front of me was clearly a family of three burning paper money to Sang Changdiao.

Bai Xiao and Qu Bing were both confused. Suddenly, Bai Xiao thought of a possibility, "Can Sang Changdiao's mother, wife, and son die before Sang Changdiao?"

After hearing this, Qu Bing flashed through his face with a hint of surprise and nodded slightly: "It's possible!"

Yu Ze was also surprised and said, "Yes, if Sang Changdiao's family died before Sang Changdiao, then it can be explained why Sang Changdiao's death was so silent. After his death, his family did not promote it, but quietly set up a mourning hall for him."

Generally speaking, if someone dies in his family, he will definitely set up a mourning hall and invite relatives and friends to come and mourn. No matter how you don’t have to set up a storage room, it’s so hasty. Unless you have to have a last resort... For example, they no longer have the ability to hold an open memorial service for Sang Changdiao.

"By the way, Mr. Gu, you are their neighbor. I wonder what their family's relationship is like?" Bai Xiao turned around and asked Gu Shuitao beside him.

Gu Shuitao thought for a while and said, "Their family has a very good relationship, at least what I saw after I moved here. Moreover, when Sang Changdiao was sick, his wife often accompanied him for a walk, which was very caring."

"Does Sang Changdiao have other family members?" Qu Bing asked.

Officer Chen said: "According to the information we have, Sang Changdiao is the only son of the family. His father died when he was young. It was his mother who brought him up."

"That's not surprising. If Sang Changdiao's family died of gas poisoning before Sang Changdiao, and they could not let go of the critically ill Sang Changdiao alone, and in the end no one could restrain his bones, then it would be not difficult to understand that it would be the only one who had left his obsession - he had accompanied Sang Changdiao as the deceased for a while and had taken care of him for future generations."

"Actually there is another information that can prove this kind of guess." As he said that, Qu Bing looked at Gu Shuitao, "You just heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the next room a few days ago, chanting sutras and salvation."

Seeing Gu Shuitao nodding with a dull expression, Qu Bing confirmed: "There was no movement in advance, and it was not until a few days before the incident. This means that Sang Changdiao had probably died in recent days. However, his family died two weeks ago. The police broke into the door and found the body of Sang Changdiao's family. Sang Changdiao could not be found because Sang Changdiao had been arranged in the storage room by his family after Sang Changdiao's death!"

"Maybe I want to spend the first seven years of Sang Chang..." Bai Xiao guessed.

Among the people, after a person dies, a vegetarian party will be set up for worship once every seven days, seven times before and forty-nine days. The first "Seven" is called the first seven. As usual, the son of the deceased set up a wooden master for the deceased to burn paper money and ask someone to recite scriptures; the second seven is asked to ask the Taoist priests to receive the birth scriptures; the third seven is "Seven", which is performed by nephews or nephews; the fifth seven is valued, and there is also a "return to evil" ceremony; the six seven is prepared by the daughter, and the daughter is prepared by the niece, and the niece is called "Seven"; the bereaved family worships wine and vegetables to worship, and recites scriptures and eliminates the spirits, and the ceremony is over.

Of course, many people in modern times are busy with work and can no longer do the full set of "seven". The steps may be simplified and completed in a short period of time, but the first seven will usually be fully completed.

Qu Bing nodded, agreeing with Bai Xiao's statement: "So Sang Changdiao's family hid Sang Changdia's corpse in the storage room, hoping to spend the first seven for him, so that Sang Changdia would not be uneasy. But he didn't expect that this spiritual incident was eventually discovered by outsiders..."

When Su Qing heard this, she opened her mouth slightly. She didn't expect that there was such an obsession hidden behind this spiritual incident. She felt a lot of emotion in her heart for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Gu Shuitao was also a little confused. At first, he scoffed at the saying of ghosts, thinking that he was something that did not exist at all. Later, after meeting the haunted next door and witnessing the real existence of ghosts, his heart was shrouded in a deep fear. Now, after understanding the causes and consequences, his inner fear has dissipated, and he has only left his emotions.

It turns out that ghosts are so affectionate.

In the whole incident, Sang Changdiao was probably the most peaceful way. He didn't know that his family had died due to an accident before, so he did not leave any obsession.

At this time, Bai Xiao noticed that the candlelight and the three incense sticks that were burning very slowly were changing. The color of the candlelight gradually returned to normal, from faint green to orange and yellow, and at the same time, the sparks of the three incense sticks also turned into normal colors. However, there was one thing that was abnormal, that is, the burning speed of the incense was very fast, and it was burning rapidly at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye. If this continued, it would probably take less than a minute for the entire incense stick to burn out.

"It's all over." Qu Bing whispered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the "three people" who were originally squatting in front of the brazier stood up. The son kowtowed to his father again at his wife's instructions. Then, the "three people" stepped forward and "pulled" the incense from the incense pot. They held each hand in their hands, facing the door, as if they had seen Bai Xiao and others at the door, smiled slightly at them, and then bowed apologetically, and then turned into a few illusory lines and disappeared.

At this time, the three incense sticks in the incense jar were just extinguished, just like a family of three who had already thought about it.
