"Whether it's a novel or a story, they all originate from reality! And these kinds of cases are actually not uncommon these days, so if someone really did such a thing, there's nothing strange about it."

Compared to Yao Anna's shock, Song Mengmeng adapted quite well.

She didn't find her deduction particularly shocking, after all, the most terrifying thing in the world is never demons or monsters, but the human heart.

The evil in people's hearts knows no bounds, and its terrifying extent is beyond anyone's imagination!

While Song Mengmeng was rebuking Yao Anna for her explanation, Hu Yue reacted even faster. She raised her hand and slapped a talisman onto the innermost wall of the wardrobe.

And as if to prove Song Mengmeng's guess was true, after the talisman merged into the entire wall, they finally heard the crying of the earthbound spirit they had been searching for for so long.

"Save me, please, please save me, is there anyone who can save me..."

A faint, weak female voice came from inside the wall, crying with exceptional sorrow and despair. The pain and struggle contained within it were something that no one in the room could ignore.

Even with some mental preparation, Yao Anna, being an ordinary person, was still startled by the sorrowful and desperate cry. She subconsciously turned to look at Song Mengmeng standing beside her. Only after receiving a reassuring look from Song Mengmeng did she barely relax and breathe a sigh of relief before continuing to watch the situation unfold.

After discovering that her talisman was effective, Hu Yue did not hesitate and produced a new talisman. This talisman obviously had a more direct effect. The moment it was applied, the entire wall was like a glass lens that had instantly melted away the fog, revealing everything inside in real time.

Just like another reason that Yao Anna had previously questioned, it is actually quite unlikely that such a thin partition wall could be used to hide a body!

Therefore, the murderer who committed this crime was clearly more vicious and terrifying than they imagined!

Inside the wall, they only saw a huddled, weeping shadow, and the corpse...

It does not exist.

"What's going on?!" Yao Anna was stunned. She originally thought that there should be the young lady's body in the wall, but looking at the situation in front of her, apart from this crying shadow, there didn't seem to be anything else there!

"That's too cruel!" Hu Yue was silent for a while before exclaiming with a mixture of shock and anger, "I've actually assisted the police in handling some cases before, and I've seen some cruel and ruthless murderers before, but I've never seen anyone as cruel, vicious, and inhuman as the one in front of me!"

"It's obvious that the perpetrator of this massacre knew that because his actions were so vicious, it might cause a backlash from the vengeful spirits. So he prepared a ghost-suppressing talisman on this wall long ago!"

As Hu Yue spoke, she unceremoniously reached out and tore the wallpaper off the cabinet. With the wallpaper torn off, the yellowed talismans that had been hidden behind it were finally revealed to the group.

With this discovery, Song Mengmeng and the others didn't sit idle. They quickly tore off all the wallpaper in the cabinet. As the last talisman was ripped off, the originally illusory and ethereal shadows now appeared much more solid.

"These ghost-suppressing talismans are suppressing her soul within them, constantly weakening it. Now, judging from her appearance, she is almost at the point of dissipation!"

If you had come any later, even just a month later, you probably wouldn't have found any trace of her!

Hu Yue looked at the earthbound spirit huddled in the corner, still sobbing, and sighed with regret after a long while: "In her current state, she definitely can't tell us the truth!"

But actually, I'm really not willing to accept this!

The person who committed such a cruel act can still go unpunished!

“Who says there’s no way to find out the truth?!” Song Mengmeng was not as pessimistic as Hu Yue. She slowly stepped forward, reached out and pressed her hand against the wall in front of her. The weak ghostly figure seemed to be summoned by something and was put into the spirit bracelet on her wrist.

"I can temporarily nurture her soul. Although the damage is irreversible, it can at least provide us with some information!"

In retrospect, it must be said that even the cruel husband in Edgar Allan Poe's story was somewhat merciful! At least, his wife, hidden behind the wall, was given a complete corpse!

"You mean, this female ghost didn't even leave behind a complete corpse before she died?!" Yao Anna listened to Hu Yue and Song Mengmeng's analysis and felt nothing but chills.

There are such terrifying things in this world!

"The people who killed her threw her body into aqua regia, where it decomposed. They then diluted the solution and mixed it into cement to build this wall in front of us!"

So this clue is that the other party should have some knowledge of chemistry!

Otherwise, there would be no way to successfully prepare aqua regia!

Song Mengmeng withdrew her hand. She had only vaguely sensed some information from that remnant soul. The painful feeling of being burned and melted, combined with the little bit of lingering memory before death, made it easy for her to guess what tools the other party used to destroy the body and cover up the evidence.

“I remember now! Just now downstairs, I chatted with the old lady who spoke to you earlier. According to her, this house was originally a resettlement house for the previous owners.”
