Chapter 1159: Ghost Substitute, Another Death

??

Chen Mei and her husband didn’t understand why the police would bother with the drainer. There was some bewilderment in their eyes.

Feng Yuanlin said at that moment, “If any public property is damaged during the inspection, as public servants, we will compensate you for it!” On the side, Captain Chen, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan didn’t expect their Director Feng to be so good at talking nonsense.

On the other hand, Chen Mei and her husband were pleasantly surprised and in disbelief when they heard this. Chen Mei’s husband was a teacher, but it was simply impossible for him to afford a house in the capital, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. Moreover, this house was a rental.

The family lived quite frugally. It would be great if there really were benefits. The husband and wife were overjoyed.

The couple didn’t think much of it after that. They walked to the bathroom door and took a look. Chen Mei was puzzled. “The floor drainer was fine just now! Why is it suddenly open?”

The more Chen Mei thought about it, the more she couldn’t figure it out. She hadn’t noticed anything strange when she came in to take a shower earlier.

Chen Mei’s husband was also quite puzzled. They used the bathroom almost every day, so how could they not know what was going on inside?

Hearing the couple’s words, Feng Yuanlin, Xiao Shan, and Captain Chen’s faces subconsciously changed. They walked over one after another, their eyes thoughtful and their expressions unsightly.

Chi Shuyan picked up the drainer in the bathroom and fixed it for the couple. When no one was paying attention, she quietly drew a Pure Yang Talisman in the air; if she stuck on a paper talisman, she was afraid that it would be torn off or nobody would believe her.

On the side, Chen Mei was a bit embarrassed when she saw a young lady fix the bathroom drainer for them. The young lady was fair and good-looking; how could she do such a thing?

Chi Shuyan was quick. Chen Mei and her husband were very embarrassed. Chi Shuyan had something to say to Brother Feng, and Feng Yuanlin similarly needed to speak with her.

The two looked at each other, and Feng Yuanlin immediately put Captain Chen, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming in charge of checking for damages before he walked out the door.

Chi Shuyan was about to walk out the door, when the little boy ran over again and grabbed Shuyan’s hand, calling her “Sister” in his baby voice.

Feng Yuanlin was surprised by Shuyan’s affinity with children. Chi Shuyan didn’t expect this child to like her so much. Although she did indeed have an affinity with children, she had never met one who liked her so much.

Chi Shuyan’s eyes flashed. She took out two Pure Yang Talismans and Safety Talismans from her pocket and threaded them on red string. She gave one set to the little guy, and handed the other set to Chen Mei for the younger child to wear. At the same time, she gave Chen Mei and her husband two Pure Yang Talismans each. She said, “I got these talismans from a very reputable temple in the capital. They’re Safety Talismans. They’re especially good for children and especially lucky for adults! Take them as a gift for the two children!”

Chen Mei might not have believed the young lady if she had said that these talismans were hers, but when she heard that they were from a famous temple in the capital, Chen Mei believed her and immediately thanked her gratefully.

As Chi Shuyan left, she relaxed when she saw Chen Mei give the second set to the other child and didn’t throw the talismans away.

Chi Shuyan rubbed the little guy’s head and pinched his little face as she closed the door for the family. She turned her head and saw Brother Feng staring at her silently in a daze.

After a while, Feng Yuanlin said, “Shuyan, you’re really soft-hearted! Has anyone ever told you that you have a good heart?”

Chi Shuyan smiled and didn’t say anything. Even if she was soft-hearted, it depended on fate. It was rare for a child to like her so much, so it wouldn’t be good if she didn’t give him a gift. Besides, that fair little boy was so cute. She really didn’t want to see this child’s corpse. Trying to get along with others every now and then wasn’t bad.

As for having a good heart, forget it.

She didn’t want to be some good person.

Chi Shuyan didn’t answer Brother Feng directly, but got straight to the point. “The sewer!”

Feng Yuanlin’s face changed drastically and he immediately nodded knowingly. “Come, let’s go take a look at the sewer.”

Chi Shuyan shook her head solemnly and first took out a Tracking Talisman. However, every time she tracked it, the thing’s aura would become fainter and fainter, and it would hide its aura, making it very difficult to find.

Chi Shuyan still tried tracking it again, and it led to the first floor of the building next door.

Chi Shuyan and Feng Yuanlin rushed to the first floor of the building next door, knocked and said that they were the police. Unfortunately, compared with the family just now, this family was very difficult to deal with and unreasonable. They cursed up a storm and refused to open the door, even if it was the police on the other side.

The woman’s sharp tirade only subsided a little when she entered the bathroom.

Chi Shuyan felt the fluctuations getting closer and closer. She was almost certain that the thing was in the bathroom drainpipe and waiting to kill the woman.

Seeing that the door didn’t open for a long time, Chi Shuyan looked at Brother Feng. “Can you kick the door open?”

As soon as she said that, there was a blood-curdling scream from the bathroom. Feng Yuanlin immediately kicked the door open.

The people inside still didn’t know what was going on. A man and an old man were at a loss. “What’s going on? What’s going on?”

As soon as they said that, the front door was kicked open. Unable to go take a look at the bathroom, the man stopped Chi Shuyan and Feng Yuanlin with a wary expression. “What the hell do you want, barging into my house? I’ll call the police! I’ll call the police!”

The man couldn’t stop Chi Shuyan at all.

Chi Shuyan ignored the middle-aged man in front of her and quickly bypassed him. She kicked open the bathroom door, and was assailed by the thick smell of blood. Chi Shuyan looked up and saw a middle-aged woman who had been madly stabbed a few times. Her neck had been broken and she was covered in blood. Her head was at an angle after her upper torso fell into the bathtub. She had died in the bathtub, and the water in the bathtub was dyed a bright red.

The old man and the man came in. When they saw the terrifying scene inside, they screamed in horror. The shock was too much for the old man, whose eyes rolled back as he fainted.

Feng Yuanlin’s expression subconsciously turned heavy when he saw the scene inside.

Chi Shuyan’s eyes were on the bathroom floor drainer that had been pried open. It was empty at that moment, but the Tracking Talisman still pulsed a little. That thing hadn’t run far. Chi Shuyan immediately said to Feng Yuanlin, “Brother Feng, stay here for now. I’ll be right back!”
