Chapter 336: A murder case at strange time, a refugee girl from the Middle East
The friend's crisis has been resolved, and by the way, a scumbag who killed his wife has been sent away.
Tom seemed to be in a good mood now and started chatting with Su Fan in the back seat.
"Su, have you been to London before?"
"Never came."
Su Fan answered truthfully.
No matter what country you are in, not many people have the time and money to travel.
It was already very difficult for Old Man Su to support him in school and repay the student loan. Before becoming financially independent, Su Fan did not ask too much for pleasure activities such as traveling.
I thought I would probably spend my whole life wandering around California, but now I am running around trying to exorcise demons, and I have seen a lot of things.
“Do you need to go around the neighborhood?”
Tom suddenly asked this question.
"Anyway, it's still some time before dark."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Su Fan's eyes looking through everything from the back seat.
Tom immediately sat upright.
There has never been much nightlife, and since he needs to move places at any time, he himself has little opportunity to play around.
London itself is also a world-renowned financial center, so there must be a lot to do.
"No interest."
"Then let's go back now?"
"Yeah."
Su Fan answered casually.
The cultural landscapes in this world are all very different. Europe and the United States are almost the same, and there is nothing interesting to see.
Besides, where is he going? London's iconic sights also hold little appeal for Soufan.
Buckingham Palace? Hanging around the door?
Big Ben? He is not an Internet celebrity who likes to check in.
British Museum? Forget about this, lest you see the cultural relics of the great Eastern country and be reminded of the glorious history of the Qing Dynasty.
Compared with these, Su Fan has some ideas about the scenery of the North.
[Now my body will not be affected much even if I go to the North Pole. 】
At night, sit by the campfire and watch the aurora, next to the calm lake reflecting the starry sky.
Maybe you can also catch a few Erhala pulling sleds...
It seems that even in the second life, southerners cannot get rid of their obsession with ice, snow and north wind.
Thinking of Erha, Su Fan thought of Ron again.
There has been no news about this witch for a long time, and I don't know if she is still dealing with internal affairs of the family.
Just as Su Fan was thinking this way, he felt that the speed of the car under his seat suddenly slowed down.
"There seems to be some case happening in front, and the traffic is blocked."
As Tom explained, Su Fan looked out through the car window.
Sure enough, I saw the familiar cordon being raised, and relevant staff were carrying bodies covered with white cloth in and out.
It's over. I've dealt with too many cases of dead people, and this cordon turned out to be very friendly.
But this is not the point. The point is that Su Fan and Tom have now arrived at the entrance of the temporary housing community.
[It’s a bit strange. 】
As soon as Su Fan thought, his consciousness immediately spread out.
After a moment, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
There is no strong Yin Qi left...and no trace of demonic activity...
There was nothing in the room except blood and the collected murder weapons.
It looked like an ordinary murder that didn't involve supernatural forces.
But Su Fan always felt something was wrong.
"Stop."
After hearing this, Tom didn't say anything, and immediately went to the roadside to find a space to turn off the engine and take out the key.
"Do you need to get off the car?"
"No need."
This place is only about 200 meters away from the house, and the spiritual consciousness can completely illuminate it. There is no need to deal with the police and the reporters onlookers.
Su Fan released his spiritual consciousness again, this time increasing the intensity of his scanning.
But right now.
"Kingkongkou..."
The sound of knuckles colliding with the glass window came from my ears.
Su Fan frowned and raised his head, rolling down the window.
The target was a white aunt.
The heavy makeup could not cover his rough and wrinkled skin, and the eyes on his hooked nose were wide and full of anger.
"I'm sorry to disturb your chat time, but I must say that you cannot park here."
The other party made his request, but Su Fan did not answer.
Although it said "sorry", the other party's tone had a strange air of yin and yang.
When it comes to parking, you should go around to the cab and talk to the driver, but this white woman came to the back seat instead.
I feel that the other party's IQ is not very high.
"Why can't we dock here?"
Su Fan did not say a word, but Tom in the driver's seat would not remain silent.
"I just saw it, this shouldn't be a private parking space."
"There's no reason, you'd better drive away your junk car now."
Tom's attitude was quite acceptable, but the white aunt showed no respect at all and her tone was arrogant.
"If you disturb my grandson's sleep, I will ask my son Ben to come out and deal with you!"
The vicious tone did not frighten Tom, but made him laugh.
“I haven’t honked the horn even once from just now to now.”
"And I live in this community myself, but I have never heard of similar regulations... If you want to find your son, let him come."
This is not a controlled area that requires a parking permit, and it is not considered private land. There is no problem at all for parking for a short period of time.
Tom's answer made the aunt's already unhappy face look even more angry.
"Isn't it interesting? Driving a shabby car that's not worth a lot of money and wandering around the community with your unpopular gay partner. Gays like you really deserve to go to hell."
Before the aunt finished speaking, Tom's face was shocked, and then turned into anger.
But just when he was about to get out of the car and have a good time with this aunt, a voice sounded.
"You said we disturbed your grandson's sleep?"
"But he should be in his room now, blazing away at the movie playing on the computer."
With a calm and slightly joking tone, it seemed that he didn't take the other party's threat seriously at all.
"Why don't you go back and take a look, lest he faints and dies."
Tom in the front seat knew that what Su Fan said was generally correct.
So this aunt’s grandson is probably really doing craft work.
The white aunt's face changed drastically, and then she spoke word by word with a sneer.
"I don't know how bad the country you were born in is, allowing you to spread rumors and slander others at will."
"It's a pity that I won't be so kind as to bypass you. Now, I want to complain to the community about your behavior."
"Go ahead and remember to spray more perfume. I can smell the old man's smell on you from such a distance. Of course, that's if you can say it out loud."
Su Fan said calmly.
His words did not receive a rebuttal like before. Tom turned around and was surprised to find that the white woman could not speak a complete sentence when she opened her mouth. She could only spit out syllables with unclear meanings such as "wuwuahah". Realizing that he could not speak, the other party covered his throat in disbelief, then suddenly let out a howl of fear and rolled away from here.
Although unable to speak, Su Fan could still understand the words she repeated before fleeing.
devil.
"Su, did you take away her ability to speak?"
Tom looked at Su Fan with a horrified look.
Silently destroying the other party's language function... It's simply terrifying.
"It just silences the noisy toad for a while."
Su Fan answered casually.
He has actually heard of this kind of white aunt.
A type of group that is prevalent in Canada and Europe. Aboriginal people who think they are superior to others are keen on racial discrimination, like to interrupt others when they are talking, and complain when anything happens. What they say is "You should go back to your country"...
The most common name for this group of people is Karen, which is used directly to refer to similar sarcastic women.
Su Fan was impatient to be interrupted by such a stupid foreign specialty. Fortunately, he used Nightmare Prayer's ability to confuse his five senses to temporarily render him speechless.
It was almost a week, but it was enough for her to feel comfortable.
"Are we leaving here now?"
"Leave? Then what's the point of teaching that old woman just now?"
"You're right..."
After taking care of "Karen" who came to make trouble, Su Fan continued the interrupted exploration.
The absence of Yin Qi does not mean that there is nothing at play. In addition to direct evil spirits seeking lives, there are many ways to manipulate humans to murder those around them.
For example, Su Fan had encountered voodoo before, and the curse buried in the water by Basiba.
In order to prevent it from happening, he must figure out this murder case at an odd time and see if there are any other shadows behind it.
The tide of consciousness passed through the walls and spread to every corner of the house.
Dining room, bedroom, kitchen...
There are no evil objects in any area.
Su Fan thought for a moment, then with a thought, he let his consciousness penetrate the floor, searching for a hollow area below.
Sure enough, a dark object lay quietly under the floor...
……
After carrying her bags and arriving at her new residence, Katie closed the door immediately.
[There is something wrong with this building. 】
The landlord and tenants she had spoken to before came to mind.
Judging from the price and the number of residents, it seems that only women with poor economic status and illegal status are accepted here.
Including but not limited to delinquent girls and illegal immigrants.
The money that can be obtained from them is very little, but the decoration here is not that shabby.
The only explanation is that the landlord paid for the renovation.
In this case, why would he be indifferent to the rent she paid?
Unless...
[His main way of making money is not through renting a house. 】
Of course, there is a slim possibility that the other party is kind-hearted and trusts others, but if you do this without government subsidies, I'm afraid you are out of your mind.
Katie took off her boots and put on her slippers.
But considering that the room was not as warm as before, she did not choose to go barefoot, but put on cotton socks.
When passing by the huge mirror, I couldn't help but stop.
This thing was just a fake prepared to confuse the ghost nuns, but if it was broken, it would cost money to prepare a new one, so Katie hung it on the wall.
But this time, she didn't come to get this, but to take out the coins she often used for fortune telling.
There are no special requirements for the coins used to make the hexagram, but Katie used the three coins she used to make the right hexagram for the first time.
It is also called a lucky coin.
But just when she was about to make a hexagram, there was movement at the door.
Katie was quite alert and immediately stopped all movements and listened.
The footsteps were very light, and the other party was lingering at the door, not knowing what he wanted to do.
She got up from the bed, took out the self-defense knife from her bag, came to the door, and opened the door suddenly.
What he saw was a rather thin young girl with a sallow complexion and seemed to be malnourished.
Perhaps Katie's actions frightened her, and the girl suddenly shook the plate she was holding on the ground.
Their eyes fell on the stained toast on the floor at the same time, and then looked at each other.
After a long time, Katie spoke awkwardly.
"Sorry...I thought it was a thief..."
"It's okay."
The girl shook her head, but a loud bowel sound came the next second.
"Why don't you come in and have something to eat...I still have some quick biscuits."
Katie looked at the girl who looked a little embarrassed and extended an invitation.
She caused the other party to have nothing to eat, so this can be considered as compensation.
Get some news by the way.
The girl was a little confused, but finally nodded.
The two entered the room. Katie took out some dry food and poured a glass of water. The two sat at the table and ate and chatted.
Her kindness was reciprocated. Although the girl was a little restrained at first, she later showed trust and talked about the reason why she came here.
Her name is Amber, a refugee from the Middle East.
War broke out in the country, and he came to England as a last resort.
The reason why she came to London was because her uncle's family lived here.
"Although my uncle treats me well, my aunt and cousin..."
Amber didn't continue, but Katie knew what was going on.
She herself grew up staying with relatives, so she was all too familiar with that feeling.
When Anbe came out to live on his own, he must have been worried about his uncle being in a dilemma.
Now the former is working as an illegal worker in a factory, relying on the Weibo salary provided by his boss to support himself.
"Where are your parents?"
Katie asked curiously.
"My father died in the army, and my mother... died of cancer some time ago..."
"Sorry..."
My parents are gone, I have no worries but I am still alone. No wonder I am in this situation.
Hearing that this little girl from the Middle East had many similarities to her own situation, Katie couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in her heart.
"Are you still hungry? I still have some here."
Seeing that the other party had finished eating, she asked warmly if she wanted to eat more.
"No, no need, I'm full."
Amber waved.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Katie."
She hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
"The way you dress and talk doesn't look like someone who would settle here. Has something happened to you?"
"If I have offended you, I would like to apologize in advance."
