"Teacher Lian, do you think there are ghosts in this world?”He did not expect Liu Dun to ask such a question.
"I don't know." Lotus looked around and saw that the students were leaving one after another. His surname wasn't actually Lian. Lianpeng was his online name. He didn't want the students to know this name. If they did, he would be laughed at every time he lectured. On the internet, lotus seeds were linked to the supernatural.
Liu Dun took out a photo from his briefcase. It was an A4 photo printed with a high-precision photo printer. It was a photo of two people. One of them was a lotus seed, and the other was a very beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure and fair skin. The two of them were very close to each other. The background was in a dark room, and behind them seemed to be an open door. However, the strange thing was that there was a blurry human face between their shoulders. The face was pale, terrified and desperate, like a ghost.
In fact, he was a ghost-a face of a dead man.
The young Tan Qin had already died when he left the image behind. This was a supernatural photo.
"This photo is real." Liu Dun said," We've already asked experts to examine it. This is an authentic original digital photo. It hasn't been processed.”
This photo caused a sensation on the Internet because it was posted by Lotus. Of course, the faces of the lotus and the young woman were mosaicked, but the face of the youth in the middle was not. Although it was blurry, his expression and the strange atmosphere he conveyed were abnormally clear, making people shudder. The photo quickly caught the police's attention because the young man in the middle, Tan Qin, was a hostage who had been killed in a kidnapping case.
"I don't know why, but maybe there really is a ghost!”Of course, the police scoffed at Lianpeng's explanation. They suspected that this photo had been edited. There were too many so-called supernatural photos on the Internet. However, even if this photo had been edited, where did Tan Qin's face come from? Moreover, such a miserable and desperate face could only be seen during the kidnapping. How did Lianpeng and Zhou Bi manage to capture Tan Qin who was kidnapped?
The police found the young woman effortlessly-the head nurse of the People's Hospital, Zhou Bi. Lotus was not detained in the end, but Zhou Bi was not spared. She not only knew Tan Qin, but also had a deep relationship with him.
"Sigh, what an ill-fated fate!" Lotus sighed deeply.

Lianpeng and Zhou Bi knew each other because they were introduced by a student. At that time, Zhou Bi was not good at foreign languages during the city-wide professional title foreign language examination, so she went around asking for help. Her examination room happened to be the invigilator of Lotus. After receiving the " meaning " from the student, they had a tacit understanding. Lotus helped Zhou Bi quietly pass the test. After that, they became familiar with each other.
Zhou Biren was very beautiful. Lotus had never seen such a fair woman since he was young. In the summer, Zhou Bi's exposed calves and delicate feet often made him fantasize, and he would sneak to the hospital to see "illness". Later, his student also noticed something and warned him,"Teacher, don't think about it. Sister Zhou is a character.”Only then did Lianpeng come to his senses. In this city, to say that someone was a character was not simple. Their relationships were complicated. Perhaps something was wrong and they would fall into trouble. And once they fell into trouble, who knew what would happen. As a result, the relationship between Lianpeng and Zhou Bi faded, and they slowly stopped contacting each other until one day, Zhou Bi sent Lianpeng a message on QQ.
"Lotus, I heard that you're a celebrity on the internet. You can read fortunes, interpret dreams, and dance?”
"How did you know?" Lotus was a little uncomfortable. He would rather Zhou Bi know his identity as a university teacher than let her know that he was so reckless on the Internet. He felt like he had a dual personality. It was better to show the person in front of him to the positive personality.
"If you know, then you know. What are you nervous about? Do you think there are ghosts in this world?"
Lotus was stunned. Then, he scratched his head with both hands. Ever since he founded the " Lotus Ghost Story ", countless people would ask him this question every day. But why did Zhou Bi ask it as well? Before Lotus could reply, Zhou Bi sent another message: "Is there any way for me to see the dead?”
Lotus and Zhou Bi met at the cafe. Lotus didn't expect Zhou Bi to be so haggard one day. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she didn't put on any makeup. Tears kept pouring out of her eyes. Lotus hurriedly sent the waitress away, but she heard Zhou Bi say faintly,"Lotus, I love it so much."
Lotus was stunned." Your love? Who?"
"Tan Qin."
"Tan Qin?" Lotus 'brain was processing all kinds of relevant information like a CPU, but he could not find the name. He shook his head." I don't know him. Who is he?"”
"A seventeen-year-old child."
"Seventeen?" Lotus was tongue-tied, not knowing whether to cry or laugh because Zhou Bi was already 34 years old. She said that her love was dead. Her love was only seventeen years old?
"You don't have to look at me like that. I love him. I really love him.”Zhou Bi suddenly cried." Lotus, help me."”
He pushed all the tissues on the table in front of Zhou Bi." Alright, alright, I'll help you, but what's going on?”
"You don't know Tan Qin?" Zhou Bi sobbed and said," But you must know Tan Weiwei. Tan Qin is Tan Weiwei's son.”
Lianpeng was stunned for a moment. Everyone in the city knew Tan Weiwei's name. He was not the richest man in the city, but at least one of the top five. Zhou Bi was indeed not a simple person. Many people rumored that she had an ambiguous relationship with Tan Weiwei. They did not expect that the person Zhou Bi really fell in love with was Tan Weiwei's son, Tan Qin. Zhou Bi's motherly instincts were strongly stimulated, but it was only motherly instincts. This motherly instincts quickly transformed into an indescribable desire. Although Zhou Bi and Tan Weiwei's relationship was ambiguous, they did not have a physical relationship. However, with Tan Qin, they soon had physical contact. This kind of indecent contact made Zhou Bi love even more crazily. At the same time, Tan Qin was also madly infatuated with her.
Paper couldn't hide the truth, and Tan Weiwei soon found out about it. He was extremely furious, but he did not make a big fuss. Firstly, he couldn't afford to lose face, and secondly, he did have a good impression of Zhou Bi and understood why his son was infatuated with her. Third, he had been young and knew that his son was at his most rebellious period. If he didn't handle it properly, there might be serious consequences. Therefore, he only repeatedly warned Zhou Bi not to have any contact with his son, but he did not strictly prohibit his son from looking for Zhou Bi.
He was worried that something would happen to his son, who was already deeply involved, so he deliberately did not give his son a chance to be alone with Zhou Bi. In other words, he did not want them to have any physical contact again. At the same time, he secretly arranged for his son to study abroad. Because money was not a problem, things went very smoothly. In another half a month, his son would be leaving for Ying Country to study abroad.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, something happened to Tan Qin.

Tan Qin suddenly disappeared from the bodyguards 'line of sight in the afternoon. The bodyguard immediately reported this to Tan Weiwei. Tan Weiwei wasn't too nervous. She cursed at her mother, thinking that her son must have gone to look for Zhou Bi again. At that time, he had a lot of things to deal with, so he put this matter aside for the time being. He did not arrange for bodyguards to look for him. He did not want his subordinates to see his family's embarrassing situation. After he had settled all the work for the day, he called Zhou Bi's cell phone. He decided to bring his son back personally.
As soon as she picked up the phone, Tan Weiwei scolded Zhou Bi without waiting for her reply. He had never lost his composure like this before, but he really couldn't take it anymore. After scolding her enough, she said hatefully,"Tell that kid to come back on his own! Don't trouble me anymore!"
"Tan Qin isn't with me!" Zhou Bi panicked. I'm telling the truth. How could I harm him?!”
At this moment, Tan Weiwei's phone received an unknown message telling him that Tan Qin had been kidnapped and that he was asking for two million yuan. Only then did he realize that something was wrong.
Tan Weiwei was stunned.
Tan Weiwei had been in the business world for so many years and her business had been doing well. Of course, it was impossible for her not to have enemies. His first reaction was that he was being retaliated by his enemies, but he couldn't find out which enemy did it. Although two million yuan sounded like a huge sum, it was a piece of cake for him. However, Tan Weiwei could not take it lying down and did not want to call the police. He carefully arranged for his men to set up the place where the money was to be paid.
Unexpectedly, the kidnapper noticed this and sent him his son's MP3 player. The MP3 player was covered in blood, and the music inside had been deleted. Only his son's screams and painful cries for help could be heard."Dad, save me…"
Tan Weiwei was forced to give in. The kidnappers had already raised the price to 2.5 million yuan. He didn't even think about it and ordered his men to prepare the cash. This time, he didn't place anyone at the place where the money was to be paid.
Time ticked by as he patiently waited for his son to return. However, his son never came back. The worst kidnapping in the world-withdrawing money and killing the hostage-happened to him. In the end, Tan Weiwei had no choice but to call the police. But it was too late.
That night, some people saw flames soaring into the sky above the sea, but they did not know what had happened. By the time the sea rescue team arrived, the wooden boat had already been burned to the point of sinking. On it was a body that had been burned into a ball. There was also a gold button left on Tan Qin's clothes. It was probably because the kidnappers did not recognize that it was gold. After investigation, the boat and the body were doused with gasoline. The boat was dragged deep into the sea and then set on fire with a timer. When Tan Weiwei heard the news, a man who had seen life and death many times fainted on the spot.

As Zhou Bi recounted her story, she cried pitifully. By the time she finished speaking, the dishes were already cold. "Lotus, you must help me. Is there any way for me to see him?”
" Maybe there is," Lotus reluctantly said." The soul won't disappear immediately after death. Maybe there are still images in the places you often go." If he really loves you, then this strong longing will form an electromagnetic wave, and you may still see him there.”
"Really?" Zhou Bi's eyes lit up." Then can you accompany me?"”
Lianpeng's nonsense provoked him, and he was pestered by Zhou Bi. Zhou Bi even went home to get her camera and tripod. Lotus was puzzled."What are you doing with this?" "What are you doing? Take pictures! If there really is a video, then I must record it! This way, I can preserve his soul forever.”Lotus didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Perhaps this woman was crazy.
The place where Zhou Bi and Tan Qin met up was a villa located in a pine forest by the sea. This place was only lively in the summer, and not many people came here in the winter. Because it was located in the forest and it was afternoon, the room was very dark. Lotus wanted to turn on the lights but was stopped by Zhou Bi.""No, if the lights were on, he wouldn't have come out, right?”
Lianpeng could only give up. He muttered in his heart. It seems that this woman is really crazy. "Whose villa is this? Why do you have the key?" He was a little curious. Although Zhou Bi and her husband, Ren Zhiqiang, were rich, they were not rich. It was impossible for them to own such a villa. "It's the property of my husband's company. The company's headquarters are in Beijing. People only come here in the summer to avoid the heat.”Zhou Bi said.
"Lotus, let's take a picture. Maybe we can really take a picture.”Zhou Bi stood still. Behind her was a door that was open. There seemed to be something peeping in the dark doorway. Lotus raised her camera at her...
"No, don't flash!" Zhou Bi shouted," That will scare him!”The lotus had no choice but to stop. If they didn't use a flash, they could only use a tripod. He began to set the tripod and shutter speed. At this moment, Zhou Bi waved at him again." Come, let's take a photo together!"”
Although Lianpeng was surprised, he did not think too much about it. He set the timer and immediately walked over to stand beside Zhou Bi. Originally, he wanted to keep a distance from Zhou Bi, but an impulse made him stick close to her. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong behind him. It seemed that something was moving and there was a cold breath. However, at this time, the shutter sounded. The lotus was afraid that the light would be weak, so he did not turn around and held his breath. After taking the picture, he subconsciously turned his head back, but there was nothing behind him except for the dark doorway.
Lotus went over to take a look at the photo. When he saw it, he broke out in a cold sweat. In the photo shown on the LCD screen, there seemed to be a white thing between the two of them, just above their shoulders. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a human face. How could there be such a thing? Was the lens dirty? Zhou Bi also came over to take a look. After watching for a full ten seconds, she finally called out,"It's him, it's him! He's out!"
Zhou Bi was so excited that tears fell again, but Lotus was so scared that her hands were trembling. He secretly made a copy of the photo and uploaded it to the forum.

"Then there can only be one explanation for this photo, and that is-there's a ghost. Right?" The corners of Liu Dun's mouth curled up, and his expression carried a hint of mockery.
"I don't know. If it wasn't processed, how could a dead person's face appear in this photo?”
"Why don't you think about it in another way? This isn't a dead person.”
"A living person? You mean…Tan Qin is still alive? Or was there someone who looked like Tan Qin hiding there?”
"Teacher Lian, you didn't use a flash for this photo, and the sensitivity wasn't high either. In such a dark room, you could only use a slow shutter speed, right? While you were standing there waiting for the exposure to finish, someone came out from behind and shook your shoulders for a very short time, leaving his image behind. Because of the lack of exposure and the shaking, he was blurred, like a ghost-that was the cause of this supernatural photo. Is there a problem with my explanation?"
" No, no..." Lotus stammered." But, but who is that person?" Is it really Tan Qin?"
"Yes, Tan Qin is not dead." Liu Dun said with certainty.
After figuring out the cause of the supernatural photos, the police suddenly came back to their senses and dispatched the police to conduct a large-scale search of the villa. They found Tan Qin, who was on the verge of death, in the basement of the villa. However, Tan Qin could no longer remember what had happened. He could not tell who had kidnapped him. All he could remember was that when he tried to escape and survive, he saw a man and a woman taking photos in the villa. He was worried that they were the kidnappers, so he fled back to the basement and never got up again because his body was already quite weak.
Only Zhou Bi's family could enter this villa in winter…Zhou Bi's husband, Ren Zhiqiang, was a major suspect! Through the investigation of Zhou Bi, Zhou Bi revealed the improper relationship between her and Tan Qin. Moreover, her husband, Ren Zhiqiang, had also found out about their relationship. Although Ren Zhiqiang wasn't as furious as Tan Weiwei, he definitely hated her in his heart. He had enough motive to kidnap and kill!
The police immediately arranged for Ren Zhiqiang to be arrested, but at this time, an unexpected result appeared.
Ren Zhiqiang was on a business trip in a city thousands of miles away when he suddenly died on the streets! He was killed on the way back to the hotel from the bathing center. After investigation, it was a typical robbery and murder case.
Then, who was the charred corpse? After an in-depth investigation at Ren Zhiqiang's company, the police found out that he was one of Ren Zhiqiang's former subordinates. Ren Zhiqiang let this subordinate off when he embezzled public funds. He did not pursue the matter and only asked him to resign. Now, Ren Zhiqiang wanted to kidnap Tan Qin and call him back to commit a crime. After extorting the stolen money, he killed this guy to silence him.
As for why he didn't kill Tan Qin, it was probably because Ren Zhiqiang didn't want to kill him, but he couldn't find a suitable place to let him go, so he was delayed. With this delay, he was sent by the company to go on a business trip thousands of miles away. This was already decided long ago, so there was no reason to refuse. In order not to arouse suspicion and to buy time, Ren Zhiqiang deliberately created the illusion that Tan Qin was dead. Then, he went on a business trip in a hurry and planned to deal with Tan Qin's matter after he came back. However, Ren Zhiqiang never came back.
"What a bizarre story!" Lotus seemed to be listening with great interest." So, Officer Liu, is the case closed now?”
"How can we close the case!" Liu Dun looked at him meaningfully." I didn't find the money. It's 2.5 million! How could they close the case if they hadn't found so much money?”
"That's true. How can we not find the money? In that case, is there another kidnapper?”
"Yes, photos don't lie. You once insisted that it was a real photo, but…Teacher Lian, are you being dishonest with us?”Liu Dun's eyes suddenly sharpened.
"What do you mean?" Lotus was shocked.
"I'll continue with the story. This case is not closed, so the story naturally cannot end…If there is another kidnapper, I don't have to tell you, you can guess that it is Zhou Bi. Zhou Bi had conspired with her husband to plan this, or at least she knew about it. Why did Ren Zhiqiang dare to go on a business trip without worry and leave Tan Qin alone in the villa? Because there was Zhou Bi. Zhou Bi could look after Tan Qin! Nothing would happen. Zhou Bi was also an accomplice. If she let Ren Zhiqiang die, then she would not be able to live, right?”
"Yes, but it's strange. Then why did Zhou Bi drag me to the villa to take photos? Isn't that equivalent to having no money here?”Lianpeng was puzzled.
Liu Dun smiled." She brought you to the villa because she wanted you to take photos of Tan Qin." Such a supernatural photo could fool the netizens, but the police would never believe it. If they did not believe it, they would find Tan Qin in the villa.”
"What good would it do Zhou Bi to find out? Isn't this troublesome?"
"The good thing is that we have an alibi. When Ren Zhiqiang died, Tan Qin was not at the scene. Of course, this could also push the crime of kidnapping to Ren Zhiqiang alone.”
"Tan Qin wasn't at the scene?"
"Yes, this is not a simple kidnapping case. This kidnapping case also has a case within a case and a trap within a trap. When he kidnapped Tan Qin, Ren Zhiqiang thought that Zhou Bi kidnapped Tan Qin with him, but in fact, Ren Zhiqiang was tricked by them. Tan Qin also wanted to get rid of Ren Zhiqiang to achieve his goal of being with Zhou Bi in the future, so he pretended to be kidnapped by Ren Zhiqiang and Zhou Bi until he extorted the ransom money from his father. Then, Ren Zhiqiang went on a business trip, and Tan Qin tracked him thousands of miles and killed Ren Zhiqiang in another city.”
"Wait, isn't Tan Qin very weak? How can he still have the strength to kill?”
“
Yes, so it was very difficult for the police to suspect him. But in fact, it was all an act. Zhou Bi was a nurse and had been secretly ensuring his physical strength. On the day he went out, she even injected him with a stimulant. This stimulant supported him to quickly complete the murder. Of course, he was extremely weak as soon as he returned. However, happiness was already waving at him! After getting rid of Ren Zhiqiang, he could be with Zhou Bi, whom he liked, and he had more than two million yuan. If his father still disagreed, what was there to be afraid of? He would move out and live with Zhou Bi, or take Zhou Bi away. What a romantic story!”
"Yes, I am!" Lotus nodded." But what does this have to do with me being dishonest?”
"Yes!" Liu Dun became serious." Teacher Lian, the most crucial part is that you were the one who proved Tan Qin's alibi! When Ren Zhiqiang died, you had just finished taking photos of Tan Qin, so Tan Qin would never kill anyone. However, you lied to us at this time. It should have been taken the next day after Tan Qin rushed back, right?”
Lotus lowered her head silently.
"Zhou Bi really isn't a simple character. She even managed to manipulate Teacher Lian! But isn't it too pitiful for you to think so highly of yourself? She loved Tan Qin. For that little boy, she killed her husband. Aren't you afraid that one day, this pair of lovers will also kill you?”
Liu Dun shook his head and watched the other two criminal police officers enter the classroom.。。
