Chapter 45 He is the murderer

Obviously, the strange behavior of Hui Gen and I had caused the police at the door to be frightened. Who wouldn’t be scared if they saw two living people running into the toilet and talking to the air?

However, Hui Gen and I did not want to explain anything, because the ghost in front of us was obviously a ghost that had lost its ability to move and was bound here by an invisible murderous spirit. Moreover, because of the previous actions of opening and closing the door, it was already very weak. If it was not saved, it would be in danger of being scattered to the four winds. Hui Gen and I did not have time to talk about anything.

Facing Hui Gen’er’s question, the ghost opened its mouth, but it could not say anything. It seemed that it was so weak that it had lost the ability to communicate. It could only gesture at us, then stood there, unable to move.

The gestures were a bit hasty, but I understood the general meaning. It was calling our attention to the window, pointing in a direction, and finally, it was probably asking us to save its daughter.

I looked at Hui Gen, and she immediately stayed behind to prepare to help the ghost, while I rushed out of the room and ran into the utility room. I pushed open the window and looked down.

The crowd below was still there, but some people had already started to leave. I searched in the state of clairvoyance, but for a while I found nothing. In my anxiety, I looked up and saw that among the people who were leaving in twos and threes, there was a single man walking towards the corner on the other side.

This was a normal action, and the man was also walking with his hands in his pockets, but at that moment, I squinted my eyes because in the state of clairvoyance, I clearly saw that behind the man, there were several crying women surrounding him, and these women were clearly ghosts! What was even more special was that the man’s body emitted a black and red aura, which was clearly murderous! And this murderous aura actually kept the crying women from getting close to him!

The murderer is this man!

In the next moment, I didn’t care about explaining anything, turned around and rushed out of the utility room, rushing downstairs. All the police looked at me in bewilderment, and when I rushed downstairs and pushed through the crowd, I found that there was no trace of that man.

I ran a few dozen meters further, to the corner of the street, but found that there were many alleys on this street, and there were still a few passers-by walking here and there, but where was the murderer?

“Chengyi, why are you running? I’ve been chasing you for a long time and I can’t catch up.” I heard Chengzhen’s voice behind me. I had already stopped using my supernatural powers, and when I looked back, Chengzhen was really standing behind me, panting heavily.

“I think I just saw the murderer,” I said to Chengzhen.

Chengzhen was startled, immediately hugged her arms, and looked around in a panic, shouting, “Where? Where?” This girl, I was speechless. It seems that she was afraid of these things.

I sighed and didn’t want to explain anything on the street. I remembered that the owner of the store had once given me a direction, so I decided to let Chengzhen take a look at the murderer by looking at the air!

Fu Yuan lived in a small house with a single gate on Dongzheng Street in the county town. His neighbors didn’t have a very good impression of him because he always kept to himself and was somewhat mysterious.

But not having a good impression doesn’t mean it’s a bad impression, because Fu Yuan is still polite to people. When he meets his neighbors, he is not stingy with a smile or a greeting.

That morning, the atmosphere on the street was not very good because it was said that there had been another murder the night before. The specific scene was said to be very scary. Early in the morning, people who came out of the street to greet each other were discussing this matter. After all, this county is not big, but in recent years there have been several bizarre murders. The ordinary people living here are afraid that bad luck will fall on them.

Fu Yuan was carrying a bag of meat buns and a bag of soy milk. He was walking in the misty morning and naturally heard the sound of this discussion. He didn’t have too much expression on his face, and he didn’t show too much concern. He just took out a meat bun and took a big bite. The meat juice splattered, and he didn’t wipe his mouth.

“Xiao Fu, are you having breakfast?” It was Zhang Daliang next door. She was one of the people who knew Fu Yuan well. Because the small courtyard with a single door and a single courtyard was built for her son, and later her son stayed in another city, she rented it to Fu Yuan at a very cheap price.

Speaking of the price, Zhang Daliang was also quite helpless. In the past, this small building was sublet to many people, but the people who lived in it always said that they were cold or felt unwell. Slowly, it was rumored that this building was a haunted house. The county seat was not big, and once this rumor spread, it could not be rented out.

Later, Zhang Daliang lowered the rent, and Fu Yuan showed up. One person rented the entire building, and he lived there for more than two years without seeing anything happen.

This situation also made Zhang Daliang quite dissatisfied with the previous tenants, thinking that they were looking for trouble because of the rent.

Facing Zhang Daliang’s warm greeting, Fu Yuan stopped, and only then did he remember to wipe his mouth with his hand, then politely nodded and said hello to Zhang Daliang before leaving.

He always did this, but today, Zhang Dajiang called him in a particularly mysterious way. Fu Yuan had already taken two steps, with his back to Zhang Dajiang. At the moment when Zhang Dajiang called him, his expression suddenly became fierce and terrible, but the next moment, when he turned around, his expression had already returned to calm: “Auntie, what’s the matter?”

“Xiao Fu, I heard that two people were killed in the store at the corner of the street. They died a horrible death. Although you are a man, you live alone in a small building, so I just want to remind you to be careful.” Zhang Dali said in a low and mysterious voice.

“Well, I heard about it. Don’t worry, the police are already working on the case. I’ll be careful…” Fu Yuan’s words were not finished when his shoulder was suddenly grabbed by a hand. The hand was so strong that half of his body was unable to move.

Fu Yuan turned his head angrily, but saw a taller man standing behind him, who said to him, “It’s not you who should be careful, it’s the people who should be careful of you.”

Fu Yuan was not nervous at that moment, but suddenly a strange violent feeling rose in his heart. He glared at the man fiercely, wanting to remember his face deeply and find an opportunity to make him kneel in the future.

The cold breath of the blood, the terrified eyes of the dying man, all of this made Fu Yuan feel very good, very beautiful…

So, his eyes were confused for a moment, and then he instinctively broke free of the hand and was about to run, but saw many police officers surrounding him!

In the absence of evidence, it is very difficult to convince the police of my innocence. Last night, I took Chengzhen upstairs, and she used her secret technique of looking at the aura and discovered that the blood in a certain building was rising to the sky.

“Chengyi, I know this county. As soon as I arrived, I found something wrong. To put it simply, there is a flow of negative energy here. The building where I stopped was the one that was affected. I can’t imagine what would happen to the people living in that building after being affected by this negative energy.” Chengzhen said to me seriously.

“Negative energy? How could negative energy flow here? Where does it come from?” I was very confused about this.

“If the direction is correct, it comes from the direction of the Lake of a Thousand Ghosts.” Cheng Zhen didn’t look like he was joking at all, and I froze for a moment, suddenly remembering what my master had said. The box was ripped open, and the poisonous gas was overflowing. Could it be that something had gone wrong at the Lake of a Thousand Ghosts?

But the most pressing matter was not to worry about the Lake of a Thousand Ghosts. Taoists believe in nature, and if something is missed, it is fate. If something has come to your attention in this way, then you must take care of it.

Therefore, I tried to persuade the police, and if necessary, I needed the help of the department where Hongzi worked.

After a busy night and orders from above, the police finally got the arrest warrant and search warrant. In the absence of any evidence, it was already a good thing that they could do so much so quickly.

The owner of the small building is Fu Yuan, an ordinary 28-year-old man with an ordinary appearance, an ordinary build, and an ordinary job. He is the kind of person who would be lost in a crowd. I never imagined that the murderer would be such a person.

The arrest took place in the morning. I saw Fu Yuan from a distance and was sure it was the man from the night before. At the moment, I didn’t have the power of clairvoyance, but looking at his paler than normal complexion, I knew that the vengeful spirit that had been haunting him was still following him, but he was living so freely.

I didn’t move, but my side-kick, Hui Gen, took the lead and walked up to him with anger, pressing Fu Yuan’s shoulder. I saw Fu Yuan turn around and look at Hui Gen with a look of chilling anger. Then he seemed to be drunk and confused for a moment, and then he wanted to run. At this time, the police finally appeared.

“Chen Xiaoge, are you really sure? If nothing is found here, we’ll be in trouble.” The policeman who had been with us last night was standing in front of Fu Yuan’s courtyard, talking incessantly.

Not far behind, the woman Zhang Daliang was also talking to the neighbors: “I don’t understand why they arrested Xiaofu. He’s a good boy, doesn’t talk much, and is quite shy. What are these police doing?”

I didn’t say anything, but I reached out and placed my hand on the red iron door at the entrance to the small building. A cool breeze passed through my palm and into my heart, and I pushed the door open.

I didn’t expect that our journey to the Lake of a Thousand Ghosts would begin behind this red door.
