Although the structure of the villa was somewhat complicated and made it difficult for him to track down the person, Deputy Liang still accurately determined the location of the person.
But when Deputy Liang chased after her, she disappeared!
There wasn't a single trace of her at all!
Even though he was from the army, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw this strange scene.
After he returned, Deputy Liang's entire body was drenched in sweat. He told them everything that he had seen earlier.
Old Master Song's back trembled as he reached out to clutch his c.h.e.s.t. "Tongtong, my granddaughter."
"General Song!" Deputy Liang immediately supported his superior. He quickly took out the medicine box that he carried with him and poured out a few pills for General Song to swallow.
After taking the pills, General Song slowly recovered.
However, it was obvious that he had lost the energy he had earlier. His white hair slid down his forehead, and he looked as if he had aged many years in an instant.
"It's her! She's back!" The female university student suddenly shouted as she reached out and grabbed Yuan Wu's collar. "You guys saw it too, right? That person just now, that person's back view, and the clothes she was wearing, it was clearly...it was clearly what Wu Taotao used to love wearing! She's back! She wants to take us away, she wants to take all of us away!"
"Wu Taotao?" Helian Weiwei turned her head to look at the four students present. Each of their faces looked like they were going through a terrible nightmare.
"It's her." The lively girl's lips turned white. "It's really her. What should we do? Xiaoqing, what should we do? Is it because we didn't finish the game the last time?"
The female student named Xiaoqing shook her head. "I don't know, I don't know anything! Will we die? Will we die?"
When she heard the word 'die', the girl suddenly shivered and denied, "No, there's no reason for that to happen! My grandmother said that if one doesn't do anything sinful, then one doesn't have to be afraid of ghosts coming for them! There's no reason why she should drag us along!"
"But she has already dragged Tongtong away. Who will be next?" Xiaoqing seemed to have thought of something and her eyes suddenly shook as she pointed at herself and said, "It's me! I was the third person to sign that contract. The person she's going to take away next is me!"
Helian Weiwei furrowed her eyebrows. No, it shouldn't be in this order.
"Xiaoqing, calm down." The girl stretched out her hand and hugged her good friend. "It's okay, we'll all be fine. There are all these great masters here to help us."
After Xiaoqing heard the word 'master', she suddenly raised her head and looked at Helian Weiwei. "It's all because of you! You were the one who said that the murderer isn't some outsider, but one of us! Look at what's happened! Because of you, Tongtong is going to get killed! You don't know how to catch ghosts, so you just said that there are no ghosts here! You liar! Fengshui master? Ghostbuster? It's all bullshit! You're just here to cheat us of our money!"
But Helian Weiwei didn't even blink an eye and remained as calm as ever even as she was being accused.
Xiaoqing's eyes were red with anger and tears kept flowing down. "Do you know how many years we've known Tongtong? Give her back to us, you liar! You big liar!"
"Sigh." As if things weren't bad enough as it was, Master Zhang pretended to sigh as well. "I've said from the beginning that the malicious spirit in the villa isn't easy to deal with. But unfortunately, these people from the younger generation think highly of themselves and even suspect that we're the murderers. Now, I can only cast a spell and try to see where this evil spirit went."
After something like that had happened, General Song's thoughts were all in a mess. He didn't say anything, but it was clear that he no longer trusted Helian Weiwei as much as he did at the beginning.
This was the effect that Master Zhang wanted and he just wanted to do a fancy trick in front of General Song. He didn't really dare to catch that evil spirit out there.
He just stuck around in the crowded living room since it would be hard for the evil spirit to strike with so many people around.
Master Zhang's plan was well thought out.
Right now, what these university students needed the most was for someone to jump out and perform a ritual, especially Xiaoqing. As she walked past Helian Weiwei, she glared at Helian Weiwei and spat fiercely, "Liar!"
Baili Jiajue obviously wanted to bash her up.
However, Helian Weiwei held his hand and interlocked her fingers with his and her eyes were clear. "Whether you believe it or not, there is no aura of a malicious spirit here. The murderer is a human."
"Young lady, General Song has already been kind enough not to lock you up or throw you out, but you're still bent on convincing us with your falsehoods? What do you think you're doing?" Master Zhang flashed a nasty smile.
But before Helian Weiwei even met Master Zhang's eyes, she heard a loud thud.
Even his chin knocked hard against the bottom of the door frame and it was so painful that he was in tears, while his teeth bit his tongue. His mouth was in so much pain that it was twisted.
Helian Weiwei didn't need to look to know that this was the work of a certain highness.
Jing Zifeng seemed to have also discovered something. He suddenly turned and stood right in front of Baili Jiajue.
"Who are you?"
Just now, the exorcism sword on his back was vibrating so violently, so it proved that this man who appeared to be incomparably elegant was definitely no simple human!
Chapter 1107 - Weiwei Was Ridiculed?
Helian Weiwei patted the youth's shoulder. "Young man, the most important thing now is to catch the murderer. Someone committed a crime in front of you. Are you ok with that?"
The youth immediately withdrew his gaze from Baili Jiajue. Of course, he wasn't ok with that!
Baili Jiajue looked at him with a cold smile. He opened his mouth and bit off the black glove on his left hand then said indifferently, "Get out of the way."
Helian Weiwei once again grabbed a certain highness, and then met with Jing Zifeng's probing gaze. "Didn't I say so earlier? He's my assistant."
Jing Zifeng looked at her. That gaze was clearly saying "your assistant is not human".
Helian Weiwei patted the youth's shoulder. "Look, the most important thing now is to catch the murderer. Someone committed a crime in front of you. You're not ok with that, are you?"
The youth immediately withdrew his gaze from Baili Jiajue.
Once the matter at hand was settled, he was going to question this man.
He ran off to investigate the murderer.
After thinking this through, Jing Zifeng just ran off and left his shikigami behind.
The small shikigami made from paper didn't know what to say.
They seemed to be crying out to their master not to leave them behind.
Because this other young man here was clearly...clearly!!
"Hmm?" As if he sensed the thoughts of tiny paper men, Baili Jiajue smiled faintly as he bit off his other glove, and his eyes half-curved into a smile as he looked at them.
One by one, they raised their hands and placed them on their soft and flat faces to shut their mouths!
But they were crying inside. They wished their master took them along with him. Wasn't he afraid that he might find his adorable shikigami gone by the time he came back?
This other young man was actually a great devil! SOBS!
They actually met the legendary great devil... just how unlucky were they...
Sensing the fear of the small paper shikigami, Helian Weiwei bent down and put them all into her sleeves. After that, she glanced at a certain highness as if to say, "Don't scare them."
Of course, Baili Jiajue didn't care about these little guys. The only one who made him feel murderous was Master Zhang, who still didn't know why he had suddenly knelt down.
His ent
ire leg was in pain. After meeting the astonished gazes of the university students, he waved his hand to pretend that he was alright and said, "The ground is too slippery, if you're not careful, you'll fall. You guys should be careful."
Helian Weiwei sneered, but didn't expose him.
However, it seemed that there was still one person missing here!
Helian Weiwei suddenly looked around. "Wait a minute! Li Ya isn't here either!"
Upon hearing Li Ya's name, Master Zhang's expression was no longer one of pain but horror.
Xiaoqing sneered, "Wow, this great Master Helian actually got nervous. Don't worry, she was with me. She's still in the bathroom next door."
Helian Weiwei didn't let her guard down because of her words and strode to the other bathroom stall. The door was locked from the inside and it couldn't be opened at all.
"Miss Li Ya? Miss Li Ya, are you inside?"
Master Zhang couldn't help but go forward to knock on the door.
No reply was heard.
Everyone's heart immediately skipped a beat!
Could something have happened to Li Ya as well?
Helian Weiwei's eyes sank and she wanted to kick the door open.
"I'm here." Probably because she was afraid, Li Ya's voice was trembling and hoarse. "I don't dare to go out, it's too scary. Without any lights on, I don't dare to move at all."
It seemed that the information about Li Ya on the internet was true.
It was said that although this witch could predict ghosts and calculate one's luck, she was very afraid of the dark.
Once in the dark, her whole body would stiffen. She didn't even dare to speak, much less move.
Master Zhang heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. We're all outside. Don't be afraid. You can see everyone when you come out."
"Okay." A rustling sound came from the bathroom, like the sound of a skirt being zipped.
Helian Weiwei and Master Zhang could both hear it. The latter's face felt a bit hot, goodness knows what he was imagining.
After a while, Li Ya opened the door with trembling hands and she was clearly very scared. Seeing that there was really someone outside the door, she immediately jumped into Master Zhang's arms!
With a beauty in his arms, Heaven Master Zhang was naturally overjoyed. He reached out and patted her back. "Okay, okay, it's okay. It's all over."
"I saw someone outside. She was dragging something with a lot of strength." Li Ya trembled. "My sixth sense tells me that this person shouldn't have appeared here, because she died a long time ago, by the sea..."
Unlike Master Zhang, Miss Li Ya was very popular on the internet. She was very popular among the young people.
They had seen how she read fortunes on online livestreams. They were extremely accurate!
Now, even she was saying that the person who dragged Tongtong away was a dead person.
That proved that Wu Taotao really had come back.
Because at that time, the only person who died at the seaside was Wu Taotao!
What did she want to do by dragging Tongtong away?
When the four university students thought of this, their hearts once again felt a wave of goosebumps.
Xiaoqing endured her fear and wrung her hands. The gaze she used to look at Helian Weiwei became even more vicious. "What did I say earlier? If we're going to believe someone, we should also believe Master Zhang. We shouldn't believe in a swindler."
Helian Weiwei ignored her. Whether it was Master Zhang or the very popular internet sensation Li Ya, these two people obviously didn't have any ability to catch ghosts.
They just used the information they heard and the customer's reactions they observed to guess what their clients were thinking about and make some speculations related to ghosts.
Some older ladies believed in their tricks.
Anyone who had read a psychology textbook would know that they were just some basic tricks.
Moreover, Li Ya was only good at reading fortunes online. She rarely read them on television.
The young people just thought that she was keeping a low profile.
They never thought about the real reason.
The reason why she did not read fortunes on television was probably because she was afraid that people would realize that she could not read fortunes at all.
In this day and age, even gamers who hosted their own channels got bashed easily on the internet.
So a fortune teller had to be even more careful of scrutiny.
This part made her similar to Master Zhang.
It's just that the route that Li Ya took was more in line with the tastes of young people.
Her age, appearance, and temperament all held an advantage.
Helian Weiwei knew what these two people were thinking. They had originally planned to leave, and after they saw that the monk had been killed, they were clearly frantic and afraid that a ghost was really among them.
Later when Deputy Liang said that the road was blocked, they realized that they couldn't leave, so they simply pretended to be able to predict the future, saying that they had sensed the presence of a malicious spirit. On one hand, it was to protect their own image, and on the other hand, it was to obtain the final reward offered by General Song.
Chapter 1108 - His Highness Teases Helian Weiwei
Helian Weiwei had met quite a few people like this before. She didn't care and let them do whatever they wanted.
She only glanced around inside the bathroom. Other than the half-open window, she didn't find anything else suspicious. Everything couldn't be any more normal.
Song Tongtong was dragged away and Auntie Zhang was sadder than anyone else. After she cried for a while, she seemed unwilling to give up. She went upstairs to take a look at the room that Song Tongtong was staying in, but it was empty and not a single person was there.
No one could eat dinner anymore.
Deputy Liang and another special forces soldier held torchlights and rushed out of the villa without even putting on their raincoats.
They were there to look for Song Tongtong, even if there was a ghost.
For the sake of their General, they had to find her.
Even if they found a corpse in the end...
The rainstorm greatly hindered their search. In addition, there were no lights in the surroundings, so it was really difficult to find anything in the darkness.
Even Deputy Liang began to believe that there was a ghost.
Unless that person was not human!
During this time, Master Zhang sat down in the hall and began to gesture with his yellow talismans and peach wood swords.
The university students were all sitting around him, and nobody dared to leave his presence at all.
The power supply was still not repaired.
Everyone was relying on the few remaining candles for light.
Master Zhang firmly asserted that this was all the work of a malicious spirit.
Helian Weiwei glanced at him and prepared to leave with Baili Jiajue to look for clues.
Was she being too arbitrary?
But she didn't think that there was anything wrong with her deduction.
Helian Weiwei had always been like this. It didn't matter if she was called complacent or arrogant.
She would never easily change what she had determined.
There must be something that she hadn't thought of.
She had to find that point as soon as possible.
First, she had to restore the power. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to find any clues.
This storm affected the case too much.
If she didn't find anything today, she would have to wait until dawn to investigate. All the evidence would have been washed away by the rain by then.
Helian Weiwei first looked at the inner switch that controlled the electricity in the villa. No one had touched it.
So there was a problem with the outer switch?
Helian Weiwei narrowed her eyes and walked around the
villa with a black umbrella. That's when she found out that the outer switch was installed in the backyard. It was close to the bathroom on the first floor and the swimming pool outside the courtyard.
This was a really extreme move.
Why did he want to cut off the power in the villa?
Was it just for convenience?
Or was there some other reason?
Helian Weiwei looked at the flickering candlelight in the hall. She could still hear the sound of Master Zhang chanting continuously and the rumbling of thunder.
This case seemed to be more complicated than she had imagined.
However, there was one thing that wouldn't change. The murderer must be very hostile towards her now.
He wanted to use the idea of a ghost to cover up the crimes he had committed.
But she had been the only one who noticed the problem.
Helian Weiwei smiled faintly, if that was the case...
That university student called Xiaoqing seemed to hate her very much.
Helian Weiwei looked at the cut wires in front of her and was deep in thought. She did not immediately come to a conclusion. Instead, she took out her phone and took a photo of the main switch.
Baili Jiajue was standing behind her, holding a pure black umbrella in his hand, just like a perfect demon butler.
Helian Weiwei took the photo and planned to bring a certain highness in. She did not expect to see Jing Zifeng standing outside the bathroom and muttering something to himself.
"What's wrong?" Helian Weiwei walked to him.
The youth didn't even use an umbrella, his hand was still wrapped in a black bandage. "It's a bit strange."
"Tell me about it." Jing Zifeng was the only one who spoke sense now.
The youth didn't care that he was caught in the rain and his handsome face was still dripping with water. "I can't find the body."
"Hmm?" Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows.
The small shikigami peeked out from her sleeve and interrupted, "If someone dies, young master can immediately locate them!"
