Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Chapter 1144: Crime Scene (1)

??

After answering Counselor Zhang’s call, Chi Shuyan’s face was a bit dark. She hadn’t needed to obtain permission from Director Huang before to apply for leave. Now, Director Huang was suddenly interfering with her leave application. Chi Shuyan didn’t know who had told the difficult Director Huang about this, or if Director Huang had accidentally found out, but how did he know?

Naturally, she didn’t think that Counselor Zhang would take the initiative to tell Director Huang; he would have it worse than Chi Shuyan if he did.

Chi Shuyan nodded and said, “Counselor Zhang, I understand. I’m attending to something outside, and it’s a little far from the university. I’ll rush back as soon as possible!”

Counselor Zhang nodded. “Okay, Shuyan! However, I’m afraid you have to be prepared about the matter of taking leave!”

Chi Shuyan nodded and hung up. The latest_epi_sodes are on_the Noᴠelꜰire

Seeing Shuyan’s unsightly face, Feng Yuanlin asked, “What’s wrong, Shuyan?”

Chi Shuyan didn’t tell Brother Feng about this small issue. Only when she really couldn’t apply for leave would she bring it up then.

After lamenting about that unlucky young lady from last night, Feng Yuanlin got straight to the point and talked about how several families had been wiped out and killed last night.

“Other than the two children from one family, everyone else died. Shuyan, are you free to go to the crime scene with me to take a look?”

Chi Shuyan nodded. “Okay!”

They got into a police car, and the driver was very familiar. Who else could it be but Captain Chen?

Chi Shuyan greeted Captain Chen.

When Captain Chen saw Chi Shuyan, he couldn’t help but think of the talismans she had generously given him just now. He was really anxious. His eyes subconsciously lit up when he saw her, and he responded enthusiastically. He said to Director Feng, “Director Feng, where are we going now?”

When Captain Chen heard Director Feng say that they were going to the crime scene, he nodded excitedly!

This wasn’t an ordinary homicide. It really had to do with ghosts or whatever, and was even more serious than what happened at No. 5 Junior High last time.

He had just learned from Master Chi that this matter was even more troublesome than what happened at No. 5 Junior High, and Captain Chen felt very uncertain. It would be good if Master Chi got involved. He heaved a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Captain Chen suddenly said, “Director Feng, Master Chi, the crime scenes were sealed off, but the others didn’t find anything useful!”

It wasn’t a human who had killed those families; it would be strange if there were any traces left behind.

Feng Yuanlin said, “There’s no hurry. We’ll take a look!”

What he was most worried about now was that as long as that thing wasn’t subdued, it wouldn’t stop killing people. This thing was ruthless. Who knew which would be the next unlucky family? Even Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but worry about his own family.

Chi Shuyan seemed to see the worry in Brother Feng’s heart. She stuffed five or six of the Exploding Talismans and Pure Yang Talismans into his hands and told him to take them home.

In the rearview mirror, Captain Chen saw Master Chi casually stuff so many talismans into Director Feng’s hands. His eyes were filled with envy, but apart from that, he had no other thoughts. After all, how could his relationship with Master Chi compare with that between Master Chi and Director Feng?

Moreover, he was very grateful to Director Feng for letting him meet such a powerful Master. If it wasn’t for Master Chi, he, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming would have most likely died in No. 5 Junior High. He couldn’t be any more grateful.

Seeing Shuyan suddenly shove a handful of talismans at him, Feng Yuanlin was slightly startled, then looked at her gratefully. “Shuyan! I…”

Chi Shuyan didn’t have to think to know what Brother Feng wanted to say. She said, “Brother Feng, if that phone call hadn’t interrupted me earlier, I would have already given you these talismans then. These things are priceless to others, but to me, drawing talismans isn’t difficult! Give these to Uncle and Aunt so that you don’t have to worry about them!”

At that point, Captain Chen also interjected, “Director Feng, you should hurry and accept them. If you don’t, I’ll be too envious. Although Master Chi gave me a lot of talismans to share with everyone, who would dislike having so many good things? In any case, I shamelessly accepted them just now!”

When Feng Yuanlin heard Captain Chen say that Shuyan had given the others a stack of talismans, he was really moved at the thought that Shuyan was so considerate at such a young age.

Chi Shuyan continued, “Brother Feng, if you’re worried, I can go back with you to see Uncle and Aunt later in the evening!”

Feng Yuanlin hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Shuyan, I’ll accept these talismans. There’s no need to trouble yourself with anything else. With these talismans, I’m already relieved!”

Chi Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled. She reached into her pocket and saw that she had almost used up all the talismans. She sighed and prepared to go home and continue drawing talismans tonight, just in case.

As the two chatted, the car stopped in front of a community building. Captain Chen said, “Director Feng, Master Chi, we’re here!”

Before Chi Shuyan got out of the car, she looked at Captain Chen and said, “Captain Chen, why are you calling me Master Chi again? Just use my name. It’s fine in front of acquaintances, but in front of others, they might think that I’ve brainwashed you.”

These teasing words made Captain Chen laugh out loud, and he immediately agreed. “Okay, Shuyan, I’ll remember!”

Captain Chen brought Director Feng and Shuyan to the crime scene. All the crime scenes were scattered and weren’t in the same neighborhood. However, two families had died in this one community building, and the other two families had died in different communities.

They originally wanted to use leads from the crime scenes to track the other party, but who would have thought that there was no pattern to the killings; it seemed to be based on the thing’s mood.

As Captain Chen got out of the car and led the two upstairs, he shared this guess with them.

Feng Yuanlin’s face didn’t look good.

Chi Shuyan observed the environment in the community building along the way. This building was very old and remote. It had a total of seven floors and no elevator. There were many cracks in the balconies outside the units, which looked a little dangerous.

The crime scenes were on the fourth and fifth floors.

They practically didn’t encounter anyone on the way up.

Captain Chen seemed to see through Chi Shuyan’s thoughts and explained, “After the massacre happened, many people in the building moved out right away. Those who didn’t don’t dare go out much because of the murders, for fear of inviting trouble!”

Chi Shuyan nodded.

When they arrived at Unit 402 on the fourth floor, there were a few police officers guarding the door. Chi Shuyan recognized one of them as Wu Haoming. She wasn’t familiar with the others.

Except for Wu Haoming, everyone else was very curious as to why Director Feng and Captain Chen would suddenly bring a young lady to the crime scene. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it had been an unprecedentedly brutal massacre. There was blood everywhere in the room, and there were many bloody handprints on the wall. There were also obvious drag marks on the floor, and blood everywhere, which was terrifying.

They had seen all sorts of homicides, including dismembered bodies, but this was the first time everyone had encountered a crime scene like this, and it gave them the creeps.

They were all alarmed by it, to say nothing of what a young lady would feel. A tall and handsome man suddenly leaned close to Captain Chen and whispered, “Captain Chen, why did Director Feng bring a young lady to the crime scene? Although there are no bodies, there’s blood all over the floor. It looks ghastly. I’m worried that she’ll faint from fright!”

Captain Chen thought to himself that there was utterly no way Shuyan would faint. The other party had just never seen how efficient and ruthless Shuyan was in exorcizing ghosts. Captain Chen was simply in awe. To be honest, it was a pity that such a powerful and awesome girl wasn’t Director Feng’s girlfriend or wife.

The more he interacted with Shuyan, the more Captain Chen had to say that he admired her. It wasn’t just because of her abilities; more than that, it was because of her temperament and how steady, considerate and thorough she was. She also had a very high EQ, and it was very comfortable being around her. Her overall character and behavior were completely unlike that of an 18- or 19-year-old girl!

The more Captain Chen thought about it, the more regretful he felt. He looked at the backs of Director Feng and Chi Shuyan, and secretly thought that they were very compatible!

Captain Chen immediately threw this thought to the back of his mind. Shuyan was Chief Qi’s wife. Even if Director Feng wanted to, he might not dare snatch her away!

Captain Chen immediately accepted the fact and stopped thinking nonsense. He said to the man, Tang Zhangming, “Kid, look inside. Does she look like she’s going to faint?”

Captain Chen thought to himself that Shuyan was very capable. He patted Tang Zhangming’s shoulder again and told him not to look at appearances in the future.

Tang Zhangming snuck a glance inside and saw that there wasn’t the slightest bit of fear on the face of the young lady who followed Director Feng inside. Instead, she was staring seriously at the crime scene. Seeing how close Director Feng was with the young lady, he couldn’t help but gossip. “Captain Chen, what’s her relationship with our Director Feng?”
