Captain Chen knew very well who Master Chi’s partner was. He coughed softly and interrupted Tang Zhangming decisively. “Brat, don’t ask about things you shouldn’t. If Director Feng finds out, I won’t be able to help you!”
With that, Captain Chen ignored Tang Zhangming and went inside. This was his third time here. When he saw the ghastly blood and bloody handprints on the floor and walls, Captain Chen shuddered.
Apart from Director Feng and Shuyan, there were other people inside who were carrying out a search. The medical examiner whom they had brought with them earlier was still collecting evidence, and the people helping him were very cautious. After greeting Director Feng, they couldn’t help but take a closer look at the young lady next to him. However, since they had official business to attend to, no matter how curious they were, they didn’t dare be distracted. At Director Feng’s nod, they continued to search seriously.
Chi Shuyan, on the other hand, was very calm and relaxed under everyone’s gazes. Her eyes fell on the bloody handprints on the wall, some adult-sized, some kid-sized. The red handprints on the white walls were a ghastly sight, and there were also bloody claw marks.
She looked at the bloody scratches on the floor. The ghastly sight continued from the living room to the bathroom.
It could be seen that this family had been full of unwillingness and despair before they died.
Seeing Shuyan looking at the handprints on the wall, Feng Yuanlin’s expression was very dark and sad. “This is a family of four: The husband and wife, and their two children! The husband and wife are young and can still be considered newly married. They originally planned to move to a new home next weekend, but who would have thought they would suddenly meet this disaster! The two children are also a young pair of twins! The husband and wife were stabbed to death dozens of times, while the girl and boy were stabbed a few times and then drowned in the bathtub!”
Feng Yuanlin’s heart was especially heavy when he said that. Thinking of the first time he came to the crime scene and saw the tragic bodies of the two children with his own eyes, Feng Yuanlin’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red.
Chi Shuyan, who had seen life and death in her past life, also felt her heart sink when she heard Brother Feng’s words. If that thing hadn’t come ashore, this family of four would probably be very happy.
Although Chi Shuyan believed more than anything else that people could overcome anything, there were times when she had to believe in fate.
She went to the bathroom to take a look. The bathroom wasn’t big, but there was a lot of blood inside, especially in the bathtub, which was dyed red. Chi Shuyan’s gaze swept over the drainer that had been taken out.
After that, Feng Yuanlin took her upstairs to Unit 502 to take a look. There had been seven people upstairs, and the smell of blood was even stronger. As soon as she reached the door, Chi Shuyan could smell the thick scent of blood inside.
Sure enough!
Feng Yuanlin pushed the door open. The floor was covered in far more blood than in 402. It wasn’t just the floor; the walls, windows, and bathroom were also all covered in blood. The bright red blood spread like water all over the floor. Some of it was almost dry, while other parts were still half-wet.
Feng Yuanlin took a deep breath and said, “This family of seven was all killed. Each of them was stabbed to death: 20 times in the torso and 15 times in the head!”
This family’s injuries were much more serious than just intestines spilling out. Huge bloody holes had practically been created all the way through their stomachs. Their faces and heads were also unrecognizable. Their eyes had been dug out, and their brains…
Feng Yuanlin thought of something critical and said solemnly, “Shuyan, one thing I found which all these victims have in common is that all their brains are gone!”
Chi Shuyan took a deep breath and once again realized how savage that thing was. She felt that it was a good thing the news hadn’t reported the case in detail. If Jiang Duo and the others found out about the tragic states of these victims, they probably wouldn’t be able to sleep well in the future until that thing was disposed of!
Chi Shuyan walked to the bathroom and took a look. It was similar to the one downstairs. There was blood all over the floor and a lot of blood had also splattered on the mirror. One could imagine how tragic it had been.
This ghost thing really had to be dealt with as soon as possible. At that moment, she said to Brother Feng, “Brother Feng, I’ll apply for leave from school as soon as possible. If possible, I’ll leave tonight!”
Although this matter was very urgent, Feng Yuanlin was really worried about her leaving in the middle of the night. Even Zhenbai would definitely be worried. He hurriedly shook his head and said, “Don’t… Shuyan, you should leave tomorrow! I’ll send someone with you then!” If something happened to Shuyan, he really wouldn’t know how to tell Zhenbai. He did want to go with Shuyan, but given that this had happened, he had to stay here. Feng Yuanlin thought for a moment before he said, “Shuyan, I’m afraid something will happen again tonight. Can you try finding out where that thing is tonight?”
Chi Shuyan nodded. “Okay, no problem! Once I am away, you can contact Group 9!” No matter what, it was more reliable to leave catching ghosts to a professional.
Feng Yuanlin had been worried about what would happen after Shuyan left for Swan Lake. Hearing her words, Feng Yuanlin also thought of Group 9 and nodded. “That’s a good idea!”
Since he couldn’t see anything at the crime scene, Feng Yuanlin was afraid that she would be late, so he said, “Shuyan, it’s about time. I’ll send you back to school!”
Chi Shuyan nodded and was about to turn around, when her eyes suddenly fell on the drainer on the bathroom floor.
“Shuyan, let’s go!” Feng Yuanlin patted her shoulder.
Chi Shuyan felt that there was something wrong with the drainer, but she couldn’t see what it was. She looked at her watch and thought about how the school’s most difficult person, Director Huang, had been alerted when she applied for leave. She could only nod. “Okay!”
Seeing that Brother Feng was going to see her off personally when he was so busy, Chi Shuyan hurriedly said, “Brother Feng, just let Captain Chen see me off! Go do your thing!”
Feng Yuanlin shook his head and said, “What can I do? If this were a homicide, I can still do something, but I’m really not good at catching ghosts. I still have to rely on you, Shuyan!”
Hearing this, Chi Shuyan didn’t argue. When she went downstairs, she saw that Captain Chen was still on the fourth floor. Seeing that he was also busy, Chi Shuyan didn’t disturb him.
She took Brother Feng’s police car and went straight back to school.
When they arrived at school half an hour later, Chi Shuyan said, “Brother Feng, I’ll get out first. By the way, the boyfriend of a good friend of mine is treating us to a meal in the evening. I believe something good will happen between the two of them soon, so I have to attend no matter what. I’ll come to the police station to find you as soon as possible after dinner!”
“Okay!” Before Chi Shuyan got out of the car, she said to Feng Yuanlin, “Brother Feng, you can tell Zhenbai about catching the ghost, but don’t make it sound too serious! I’m afraid he’ll be worried!”
More importantly, that man was too busy, and she didn’t want to hold him back!
Feng Yuanlin smiled understandingly. “Okay, no problem!”
