Chapter 88 The Black Cat with the Gun is Back Again
Yun Shu thought of the ghost that Lao Qian had encountered, and when she saw Lao Qian again this morning, she realized that he was being targeted by a ghost.
However, the ghost meant no harm, and since Old Qian was still wearing her amulet, the ghost couldn't get close to him.
Upon hearing the police officer's words, Yun Shu asked, "Officer, what kind of murder case involving face-slashing is this? It sounds terrifying."
Sitting in the front row was an older, experienced detective named Deng Shiye.
He first turned and scrutinized Yun Shu before saying, "I remember that you were the one who reported Jiang Xueqiu's case. This time you discovered strange insects carrying corpses. Do you have a lot of knowledge about these kinds of insects?"
Yun Shu gave a casual explanation: "My family lives in the mountains. When I was a child, some elderly people raised these kinds of insects and told me about them."
Upon hearing this, a younger policeman nearby became excited and pressed on, "Are you from Xiangxi? Or Miao territory? The legendary Gu worms really exist! And using worms to move corpses, it feels like the Xiangxi corpse-driving ritual!"
Oh, and this morning I also heard that at the suburban police station, a safe was found in the yard in the middle of the night, containing a lot of valuable jewelry and cash! The station investigated who delivered it, and guess what? They checked the security footage and discovered that the honest citizen who returned the lost money was actually a zombie! He jumped over the three-meter-high wall and put it in the yard!
Later, someone reported it missing, and they found the owner of the safe. To their surprise, nothing was missing. This zombie is really something! Not only did it bring the items to the police station, but it didn't even take anything for itself. It's more honest than some people!
Yun Shu: "..."
"Xiao Yang, what nonsense are you spouting? There are no zombies in this world. Don't spread rumors about things you haven't seen with your own eyes, lest you cause panic."
The incident at the branch office was only possible because the helpful bystander was quite agile, allowing him to easily jump into the branch office compound.
Veteran detective Deng Shiye turned and glanced at Xiao Yang, who shrank back and didn't say anything more.
Deng Shiye then looked at Yun Shu before bringing up the face-cutting murder case, "Miss Yun, you've helped us a lot, so it's alright to tell you about the face-cutting murder case."
Yesterday we found a body across the moat. The facial features had been mutilated. The location where the body was found wasn't the crime scene, so we couldn't identify him; we only knew he was male.
Yun Shu nodded and sighed, "What a deep grudge! Not only did they kill someone, they also cut off their facial features."
"Yes, the forensic doctor has tried his best to restore his face, but because the facial features were not disposed of near the body after being cut off, the severed facial features cannot be found, so a complete restoration is not possible. We can only ask the mortician at the crematorium to see if they can restore it further."
Yun Shu went to the crematorium with the police, but Lao Qian wasn't there; he had taken leave to go home and rest. Lao Qian hadn't slept well last night and wasn't in good spirits.
Although Lao Qian wasn't there, the person in charge of the crematorium was, and he readily transferred the reward to Yun Shu. She helped find three bodies, and the reward was tripled.
As Yun Shu was preparing to leave the crematorium, Deng Shiye came to find her. "Miss Yun, we haven't found the person who cultivated these insects yet. You know a lot about these insects, so we'll probably need your help later."
"It doesn't matter."
Yun Shu didn't care about these things.
Deng Shiye added, "My colleague has already gone to find the boss of Shengtong Group, and we'll have news about that person soon. I'll call you when we find out."
"good."
Neither of them were fond of formalities. Deng Shiye left after finishing his business, and Yun Shu also went back.
She had promised her online friends that she would do a live stream, and she was planning to go to the shop to do a live stream of making paper offerings. But as soon as she arrived at the shop, Lao Qian called her.
“Yun Shu, I took a nap at home and dreamed about that faceless ghost again. He was still lying by my bedside, muttering that sentence over and over again!”
Get a beauty treatment, get a beauty treatment, help him get a beauty treatment. I think he's a male ghost, how come he's so obsessed with beauty? I'm really impressed!
I didn't sleep a wink last night, and now this has woken me up in fright. I'm going to have a nervous breakdown! What should I do? Yunshu, could you come to my house and help me catch a ghost?
Yun Shu had already anticipated that Lao Qian wouldn't sleep well during his afternoon nap, so she said, "He's not by your side, so even if I go to your house, I can't catch him. Don't worry, he won't hurt you. You have a talisman on you, so he won't dare to get close to you; he can only keep sending you messages through your dreams."
He was a pitiful man, brutally murdered, even his facial features were mutilated. The police found his body in the moat, but they didn't know his identity. Later, when you're sleepy, if you dream of him again, ask him his name and where he lives, and say you're going to his house to give him a beauty treatment.
Hearing Yun Shu say this, Old Qian calmed down a bit and felt more sympathy for the ghost. "So he died such a tragic death. No wonder he always wanted to get cosmetic surgery. What can I do but forgive him? I'll ask him about it later."
Before leaving the crematorium, Yun Shu talked to Deng Shiye about the case. The detectives suspected that the victim's facial features were cut off and dumped at the crime scene. The area across the moat was the dumping site, which is why they hadn't been able to find the body.
The crime scene is most likely the victim's residence. Even if the crime scene is not the victim's residence, as long as his identity is known, he can be found out quickly.
After Yun Shu finished talking with Lao Qian, she hung up the phone and started a live stream. As soon as she started, many fans came in.
[Finally, you're live! Yunshu, you've been standing us up for days! Do you know how I've been these past few days?! I'm so bored!]
[Did they really go to transport corpses?]
[Didn't she appear on the live stream of a talent show today? I didn't see her transporting corpses during the live broadcast; it was probably just an excuse to avoid the live stream.]
Seeing the comments, Yun Shu said, "Some things, people either believe or they don't. Besides, I'm in a hurry to earn money to pay off my debts, so there's no reason for me not to stream. I'd love to use the time I would spend participating in the competition to stream. That competition doesn't pay much, and there's a ton of work involved."
Trainees in talent shows don't seem to earn much; their basic salary is even less than what they'd make working in a factory. But if they successfully debut, it's a life-changing experience, and they'll earn several times more than the average person!
Yun Shu sighed, "But I still have to debut successfully. You all know my professional abilities. If I debut, I'll just be dragging the team down. You'd better not bother with that."
[I think it was alright. Your shamanistic dance was pretty good, and your suona playing was also quite nice. I heard you can even play the flute and control corpses? If you don't debut, you can just send all the mentors away.]
[Nothing else, we voted for you just so you could perform more and experience what it's like to be dead.]
Yun Shu: ?
Yun Shu rubbed her temples speechlessly, feeling that she didn't want to participate, but the netizens were getting more and more excited. She thought it best not to mention this matter again!
With the penultimate round of the competition just around the corner, she still hadn't decided what to perform.
After this round of competition, the trainees' fate will be determined based on their total scores, and those who remain can choose their favorite gold medal mentor.
After a period of training by top mentors, the trainees will compete in the final round, and the top six in the final will be eligible to debut.
Yun Shu looked down at the two musical instruments on the table: a suona and a wooden flute.
Which one should we choose?
She was struggling with what to perform when her phone rang. It was Lu Shijing calling her.
"crooked?"
Yun Shu answered the phone first, and Lu Shijing's tone on the other end was unusually serious, "Yun Shu, that black cat has come to see me again."
Yun Shu: !
Yun Shu quickly asked him, "Is it the black cat with the gun?"
