Chapter 28: Law-abiding Citizens: There seems to be something...

It seemed as if something had changed, but even Su Huaiwang himself could not tell what had changed.

She only knew that something, something about Lin Jue, stood between her and the fear that should have been raging in her mind right now, so much so that it wasn't until Lei Yinyin knocked on her door that she suddenly remembered that there was such a thing.

The polite doorbell rang, and Su Huaiwang, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, jumped up and looked at the door nervously.

Big Gray and Little Yellow were originally lying quietly at her feet, but when they heard the sound, they climbed up vigilantly and rushed to the door to sniff.

Su Huaiwang hurriedly turned off the TV, which was playing something he didn't know, and went to open the door with unsteady steps, one deep and one shallow.

The door opened, and in front of her was a neat and handsome woman, who gave her a businesslike smile.

"Hello, nice to see you again. I'm Lei Yinyin, and I'm here to pay you a return visit today."

The woman flipped her hand gracefully and placed the ID card clearly in front of Su Huaiwang.

She looked younger and sharper in the ID, but it was easy to tell it was the same person.

While Su Huaiwang was looking at the ID, Lei Yinyin was also looking at her.

She doesn't have a very bright appearance, but she is pleasing to the eye. She is dressed simply and has a calm expression. She had just been touched on the head by the gods in the Aries Temple, and a faint golden light emanated from her body. She doesn't look like someone who has been plagued by evil things recently.

However, we cannot make a judgment based on this simple information.

The vengeful ghost associated with her is a cunning creature, and no one knows how the resentment remaining in her will manifest itself. The most important thing to be wary of is that the vengeful ghost will find her again.

Thinking of this, Lei Yinyin frowned subconsciously.

If that vengeful ghost really gets involved, it will not be a problem she can solve, but judging by the current situation, the possibility of this happening is very small.

After all, the vengeful ghost had abandoned her territory and was now wandering around somewhere unknown, so it was highly unlikely that it would cause trouble for their Heavenly Master.

All these thoughts happened in a flash. When Su Huaiwang finished checking the documents and looked up, the handsome civil servant regained his original smile.

"Ah, officer... please come in."

Su Huaiwang made way for her and invited her in.

"Thank you." Lei Yinyin nodded at her and handed her the thing in his hand:

"This is a small gift. I'm sorry for bothering you and it's not my courtesy."

Su Huaiwang was a little surprised and quickly refused, "Do you need to bring a gift when you visit someone? This is a bit..."

"Just keep it," Lei Yinyin handed the gift to Da Hui, who was eagerly waiting at Su Huaiwang's feet. Da Hui happily bit the handle of the bag, but still loyally stayed by Su Huaiwang's side, not getting carried away by this small gift. "The return visit is a waste of your time because we are not capable of handling affairs. Giving a gift is necessary, just like a social survey."

"Since you say so..." Su Huaiwang felt a little embarrassed and leaned down to take the bag from Dahui's mouth.

Dahui obediently let go of the bag, but for some reason he looked a little lost.

Lei Yinyin saw all of this and asked, "What's its name?"

"It? Big Gray."

"Quite...impressive." Lei Yinyin's voice rarely stopped: "What about it? It won't bark..."

"Xiao Huang." Su Huaiwang had no shame in saying the name she gave herself, and neither did the two puppies at her feet.

They were very happy to hear their owners calling their names, wagging their tails and raising their muzzles high, looking very proud.

"Is that so?" Lei Yinyin recalled the name "Su Huaiwang". It was obviously not the same as the "Big Gray" and "Little Yellow" in front of him. He awkwardly changed the subject:

"Please open it and take a look. Inside are some incense and handmade items. Keeping them at home can... repel mosquitoes."

The scene where the heroic police officer swears to say the word "mosquito repellent" is inevitably a bit funny.

Su Huaiwang opened the bag, and there were indeed several boxes of incense, an incense burner, and a... Chinese knot?

The incense burner is very light and small, with an antique appearance. The patterns on it match the incense. When you turn to the bottom, you can see a few words written on it:

【Made by the Urban Rail Processing Bureau, not for sale】

So this thing is handmade?

And it actually functions to repel mosquitoes?

The expression on Su Huaiwang's face suddenly became strange. Even though Lei Yinyin had seen this strange expression countless times, she still felt embarrassed.

After secretly cursing her colleagues in the Construction Department on the mountain, she cleared her throat and said:

"This incense can calm your mind when it burns. If you're feeling scared or...if anything's wrong, light it. It's okay if the incense runs out. Just call the number you left and one of our colleagues will help you."

Su Huaiwang glanced at her, and just when Lei Yinyin felt that she was about to be exposed, she said:

"So it's this Chinese knot that repels mosquitoes?"

"Yes..." The heroic policewoman deflated in an instant.

She really didn't know what those people in the Ministry of Industry and Construction were thinking. If the house-warding items were made into Chinese knots, people would be more likely to believe them. It would only arouse suspicion, okay?

Lei Yinyin herself felt it was outrageous, and Su Huaiwang found it even more strange.

But after all, the other party was from a government agency, so she didn't expose his clumsy rhetoric. She just put the things away and invited Lei Yinyin in.

"Please wait a moment. I'll make some tea."

This time Lei Yinyin did not refuse, but nodded.

As soon as Su Huaiwang left, his hawk-like sharp eyes began to scan every corner.

After a while, Lei Yinyin withdrew his gaze, sat upright on the sofa, and scanned the area hazily for the last time with his spiritual vision.

After doing all this, she exhaled a breath of foul air.

She was now almost certain that there was something wrong with Su Huaiwang and with this house, but she didn't know what the problem was.

Because Su Huaiwang’s problem was not that she was possessed by some evil spirit, but that... she was too clean.

Spotlessly clean.

The same goes for this house, there is not even the smallest monster.

It’s like, no matter how clean an ordinary person’s home is, there will always be some dust accumulated in the corners, but there is no such thing in Su Huaiwang’s home. Everywhere is the result of a perfect cleaning.

Is this possible?

It was clear that she had bigger problems than just those evil spirits.

The sound of teacups clinking was heard, and Lei Yinyin withdrew his thoughts.

No matter what the problem was, after reading the files, she realized that the woman in front of her was just an ordinary citizen.

The rule of the department is that when dealing with problems, try not to disturb the normal lives of ordinary people.

"Thank you." Lei Yinyin took the tea, but did not drink it.

"Today is my first return visit, so I mainly want to know about your current life situation. If you don't mind, can I record it?"

"Please." Su Huaiwang always cooperated with public affairs, but after a moment, she asked hesitantly: "What do you mean by the first time? Will there be another one later..."

Lei Yinyin smiled reassuringly: "After all, no one can say for sure. Don't worry. We also hope to resolve everything in one return visit."

"I hope so." Although Su Huaiwang didn't know what urgent problem she had, he said, "You don't need to use honorifics. I feel more comfortable if you're more casual."

"Okay," Lei Yinyin agreed, "Shall we get started?"

Su Huaiwang nodded.

"You've lived here for over two years, haven't you?"

"Yes."

"Don't you feel scared living in this sparsely populated rural area?"

"They are here to keep me company." Su Huaiwang patted the dog's head waiting beside him. "I might be a little scared recently, especially after you called me."

"Really? Why?" Lei Yinyin still asked with a smile, without a trace of guilt on her face.

Su Huaiwang frowned and looked at her, with hesitation clearly on his face.

"Is it inconvenient to say?"

"It's not inconvenient at all," Su Huaiwang pondered for a moment, and finally said, "It's just a little embarrassing. You're such a grown-up, but you're still suspicious and uneasy because of some unfounded things."

"Can you be more specific?" The policewoman in front of her seemed to be determined to get to the bottom of the matter. Her eagle eyes, which had originally been deliberately smooth, were now fixed on her, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Lei Yinyin quickly realized the problem, looked away, and said with a smile: "If it's inconvenient, forget it."

"No." Su Huaiwang shook his head. "Just some small things, like when I was driving on a mountain road in the dark and something suddenly jumped out, or when I was walking my dog ​​and it kept barking at an empty place... It was just some fear that made me see danger everywhere. It's not something worth talking about."

"So that's how it is." Lei Yinyin nodded seriously.

"Also, the amnesia I experienced before happened again."

"What?!" The police officer suddenly became very excited, his brows furrowed, and Su Huaiwang subconsciously shrank back.

"Sorry." Seeing Su Huaiwang's reaction, Lei Yinyin quickly put away his aura: "I'm just... too worried about your health... Can you tell me the circumstances under which this happened?"

"Nothing," Su Huaiwang recalled. "I was just taking a walk with a friend when I suddenly lost consciousness. My friend said I fainted from low blood sugar, but I don't remember anything before I fainted."

"This... is worth exploring." Lei Yinyin thought thoughtfully.

Su Huaiwang didn't understand what she meant: "Should I see a neurosurgeon or a psychiatrist?"

"No, you don't need to see a doctor." They wouldn't be able to tell anything anyway.

Lei Yinyin sighed and said comfortingly, "This is just the aftereffects of the past. It will get better with time."

Su Huaiwang looked her up and down and said, "I didn't expect that you, officer, are quite knowledgeable about medicine."

"No... never mind," Lei Yinyin gave up arguing and said solemnly, "If a similar situation arises again, please be sure to contact us."

"I will." Although he didn't know why the other party was so serious, Su Huaiwang nodded seriously in response.

"Would you mind telling me who was the friend with you at that time?" Lei Yinyin had already taken out the recorder, ready to continue the investigation from the next clue.

"Ah, the one you met is Lin Jue, the friend who stayed with me at Baiyang Temple that day. She also lives nearby."

Su Huaiwang answered casually, but he never expected the other party to stand up excitedly.

"Yeah?"

The feeling as if being stared at by an eagle once again spread throughout Su Huaiwang's body, and tiny tingling sensations like electric currents appeared on his skin.

Su Huaiwang was puzzled and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.

Su Huaiwang immediately recognized who was outside the door from the light knock.

But what was surprising was that Lei Yinyin, who had never had much communication with Lin Jue, seemed to have heard it as well.

She smiled, but her eyes were solemn:

"Speak of the devil, and he will appear."

After saying that, he looked at Su Huaiwang again:

"Ms. Su, please open the door? I want to ask your friend—"

"What exactly happened to your brief amnesia that night?"
