Chapter 929: The Detective Who Could See Ghosts (9)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The little boy left with Meng Han unwillingly.
Meng Han never spoke a word to Ming Shu.
He appeared today because of Hang Zichen.
“Thank you.”
The female ghost floated beside Ming Shu. Her body seemed fainter than before.
“Why are you...”
The female ghost smiled happily. “I am going to leave soon. Only ghosts with a strong regret or hatred will stay in this world. When I died, I really wanted to hit the fatty but I was afraid of killing someone so... sigh, forget it.”
The words from the female ghost were informative.
Only ghosts with strong emotions would stay in this world?
But they couldn’t do anything even if they stayed...
The figure of the female ghost got fainter. Just as the female ghost was about to disappear, Ming Shu saw a light flying toward her. The light entered her forehead.
After that, her body felt lighter. A strange energy started flowing through her body.
What the hell is this?
Will it cause harm to my body?
Can I still eat my snacks happily next time?
Ming Shu touched her elbows. There was no strange feeling.
“I didn’t know that you have a relationship with Meng Han.”
Gu Zhi stood at the door silently with his hands in his pockets. He raised his chin and looked at her with a mysterious smile.
“That is none of your business.”
Ming Shu replied instinctively.
I am supposed to anger this little demon! Nothing wrong with that.
Gu Zhi was speechless.
“It does have nothing to do with me.”
Gu Zhi turned around and left with a calm expression.
However, in his heart, he was cursing fervently.
I want to kill her!
Gu Zhi walked really quickly so by the time Ming Shu came out, he was gone.
Ming Shu was too lazy to bother with him too.
If the little demon is not obedient, just ignore him for a while.
She went to observe the surveillance cameras outside Happiness City. According to what the female ghost said, Lu Jiaqi had a quarrel with someone in the corner of the street. Not many surveillance cameras would capture this part of the street.
Ming Shu went directly to the police station to look for Chen Wen.
The surveillance tape was sent to her after a while.
Watching the surveillance tapes was a boring task. Ming Shu didn’t know when the quarrel happened so she started from the day before 16th May and worked her way backward.
Ming Shu hugged her snacks and took up the entire office table. She lifted her legs up.
The policemen that walked past her all thought that she was watching a movie. However, when they went nearer, they realized that it was a surveillance video.
Shouldn’t you watch a surveillance tape carefully and intently? Why is she eating and watching at the same time. F**k, did she just fast forward the scene?
Caption Chen!
Where did you find this troublesome person?
Ming Shu suddenly tapped the keyboard. The people around her saw her clicking the mouse a few times and the image paused.
The image quality was not good at night.
In the image, two figures stood at the corner of the street. From their stances, they seemed to be having some physical contact.
“Is this Lu Jiaqi?” Ming Shu asked the policeman beside her.
“...” You can’t even recognize the victim?! The policeman took a closer look and answered unwillingly, “Yes.”
Ming Shu rewound the tape to the time when the two figures just appeared on the street.
Lu Jiaqi came into view with a man. They were hugging and kissing each other. They seemed intimate.
Then, another person appeared. This person was much taller than Lu Jiaqi and had short hair. It should be a male.
The man pulled Lu Jiaqi. Lu Jiaqi asked the man that was hugging her to leave first, then she went to the corner of the street with this second man.
The two of them talked about something and had some physical contact.
Then, Lu Jiaqi pushed the man away forcefully and ran off.
“Caption Chen, Consultant Qian found something new.”
Chen Wen was in the police station so he rushed over quickly. He gave Ming Shu her temporary consultant credentials along the way.
“Who is this?” Chen Wen looked at the video.
“We are checking...”
Since a new clue was found, the people in the special investigation team were all extremely excited.
“Chen Wen.”
Chen Wen heard Ming Shu calling him while he was waiting for the results of the investigation. “Did you find anything?”
Ming Shu blinked and smiled innocently. “Do you provide dinner?”
Chen Wen: “...”
Don’t you have snacks in your hands?
Eat, eat, eat!
Besides eating...
Chen Wen took a deep breath and remembered how they found this new clue. He ordered the person beside him, “Go and order some dinner for everyone. I will pay for it.”
They had been working day and night for the past few days. Although no one complained about it, the morale in the team was a little low since the culprit was still not found.
They finally managed to get some new clues today so he decided to treat his team to dinner to motivate everyone.
...
At Huahai Community...
This was the place that He Lan, the fifth victim, stayed at.
He Lan stayed in Building 2.
However, they were going to Building 5 now.
They saw Gu Zhi at the entrance of Building 5.
Gu Zhi was not wearing the police uniform. He wearing designer brand clothes. One piece of his clothing cost them their entire year’s worth of salary.
There was a million-dollar watch on his hand.
The clothes on him told everyone that he was rich.
Of course, if there was no special occasion, Chen Wen would not wear his police uniform.
He wore the police uniform that day because it was Professor Zhou’s death anniversary. He came to find Ming Shu right after the anniversary.
There was a young man beside Gu Zhi. They were on the same team.
The young man greeted Chen Wen: “Caption Chen.”
Chen Wen was slightly puzzled. “Chief Gu, why are you here?”
He saw the document that was sent to him yesterday.
Gu Zhi should be reporting his findings in the police station now. Why was he here?
Gu Zhi looked at Ming Shu and then shifted his gaze away. “Why are you here?”
Ming Shu clicked her tongue. “If you can find this place, why can’t we?”
Gu Zhi said, “Caption Chen, your men are not very friendly.”
Ming Shu met Gu Zhi’s gaze. The atmosphere was tense.
Chen Wen: “...”
Were these two people enemies in the past?
Gu Zhi was his superior now so Chen Wen replied after hesitating for a few seconds: “We found out that Lu Jiaqi had an argument with an art professor from Y University.
The young man was surprised. “How did you discover this?”
This clue was provided by Chief Gu. They managed to find this place because of this clue.
How did the city bureau get this clue too?
Chen Wen summarized the main point. “The surveillance camera.”
No one knew that Lu Jiaqi went to Happiness City before this so they didn’t check the surveillance cameras there.
Gu Zhi was puzzled. When he got the news yesterday, Ming Shu was not beside him. He asked Qi Cheng about this before confirming the identity of the man.
Hence, she didn’t get this clue using his method.
Lu Jiaqi was very careful after she got together with Qi Cheng. Or rather, Lu Jiaqi was very careful when she interacted with people. This could be seen from the comments that her teacher and her friends said about her.
So, how did she find out about this?
“Sorry for the wait, Officer Gu.”
The manager of the Huahai Community ran over hurriedly.
The strange atmosphere between the two parties was broken.
The manager opened the door for them. He thought that Ming Shu was on the same team as Gu Zhi so he brought all of them up the building.
The Huahai Community was a high-class place. The elevator required a card to enter too.
“Professor Hou Yazhi lives in 708.”
Chen Wen asked, “How much does a unit here cost?”
“A small apartment is not expensive. It costs around two million. Professor Hou Yazhi lives in a small apartment that has only one bedroom. However, there are only less than ten small apartments in this building.”
Two million...
It was affordable for a professor.
Also, an arts professor would be able to earn from teaching outside too.
