"Landlord, there really is a corpse, fingers... fingers fell off the wall."

"Officers, please...please go in and take a look."

You Jun said, his face ashen.

seeing is believing.

Only when the landlord sees it with his own eyes will he believe what he says.

The police officers exchanged glances and strode into the room.

The landlord glanced at You Jun's expression and followed closely behind the police.

Upon seeing the corroded finger on the ground, wriggling and gnawing at by numerous white maggots, the landlord was so frightened that he took two steps back, his legs trembling and his face turning pale.

"This, this, this is impossible! Jiao Shi is an honest man, how could he..." the landlord said in astonishment.

This is called "knowing a person's face but not their heart"! You can't judge a book by its cover!

Even the landlord didn't know that Jiao Shi's daughter lived in the rented room, which means... Jiao Shi never let his daughter go out. The fact that she was taking out the trash for others was probably just a smokescreen to cover up the fact that two people lived in the rented room. Therefore, the person who came to visit him on Saturdays or Sundays was likely his second daughter.

[If one person lives alone, there won't be much trash, but with one person and a pregnant woman, the daily trash collection will be considerable. Pregnant women get hungry easily and need to eat, otherwise the baby won't get enough nutrition. Since Jiao Shi is going to rely on his daughter's unborn child to make money, he naturally won't want to mistreat her. At least during her pregnancy, he will definitely be there for her every need and take good care of her.]

[He was afraid others would know there were two people living in the house, so he often took out the trash for others. As long as he did it frequently enough, people wouldn't suspect anything when they saw him carrying several bags of trash; they would just think he was taking it out for someone else!]

I hope the police can catch that guy named Jiao Shi; this is too cruel and terrifying.

Jiao Shi, his name sounds honest, but in reality... he's truly ruthless.

The policeman looked at the wall, then at the fingers on the ground, his expression not looking too good.

One policeman put on gloves, while the other took out his phone and made a call.

Then, the gloved policeman looked at You Jun and asked, "Do you have a hammer?"

"Yes, yes, I have some at home, I'll go get it right away!" Before You Jun could answer, the landlord replied first.

Before the police could speak, the landlord immediately turned around and ran back to his floor.

Murder and hiding the body...

He never imagined in his life that something like this would happen so close to him, and right in his own house.

Oh no, his house is going to become a haunted house!

The landlord was furious.

At the same time, I no longer think Jiao Shi is an honest person.

An honest person?

Would a truly honest person do such a thing?

He had seen dead people and people covered in maggots.

It was obvious that the corpse inside the wall hadn't been dead for very long, and before You Jun moved in, Jiao Shi had been painting the walls and replacing the furniture.

Clearly, it wasn't for the next tenant, but to hide the body!

Thinking of this, the landlord's feet seemed to spring to life. After seeing the finger lying on the ground, he not only lost all resentment towards You Jun, but even his last bit of sleepiness vanished.

Soon after, the landlord returned with various tools, and two police officers and a forensic doctor also arrived.

As soon as the two police officers arrived, they immediately put up a cordon on the door.

The gloved policeman, upon receiving the hammer, slammed it against the wall.

One, two...

The concrete on the wall slowly crumbled away, revealing the scene inside.

Upon seeing this, You Jun turned pale and couldn't help but vomit again.

He had just vomited everything out of his stomach, so now he couldn't vomit anything even if he wanted to.

When the landlord saw the lump of stuff inside, his face turned as white as paper, his scalp tingled, and he almost fainted from fright.

Even the police officers who had handled many cases couldn't help but frown and their expressions became serious.

The forensic doctor didn't look too good either.

【vomit--】

[Isn't Jiao Shi too cruel?]

【Oh my god, this is terrifying! It gives me the creeps!】

[A talisman! Look! There's a talisman stuck to the corpse!]

"No, you used a magnifying glass, didn't you? I could only see a dark blob, I couldn't make out what it was at all, how could you see the talisman?"

[It really is a talisman; I looked at it with a magnifying glass!]

You Jun's phone camera was pointing directly at the wall.

In front of them, pieces of meat were sewn together and hung inside the wall, just like dried meat.

He just saw the red skirt, which, as the viewers said, was the hem.

It was just strung on a single line and hung there.

There were also paper talismans pasted on top.

The paper talisman was soaked with blood, but the incantation on it remained clearly visible without any blurring.

Upon seeing the talisman, Jiang Yuan's expression changed slightly, becoming serious.

Soul-trapping Talisman!

By attaching a talisman to a corpse, the soul can be trapped inside the body forever, preventing it from being reincarnated or leaving the body!

No wonder, even though it's the seventh day after death and there's so much resentment, the other person's soul is nowhere to be seen!

I see!

Most importantly, these talismans are exactly the same as the ones drawn by He Sheng, whom Jiang Yuanhao invited before. They are even more exquisite and have stronger magical power than the talismans drawn by He Sheng!

A hint of anger flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes.

Learning and practicing Taoism is for helping others, not for disregarding human life!

It's not hard to guess who created this talisman.

It was exactly the same as the talisman drawn by He Sheng, but more exquisite and more powerful.

Apart from He Sheng's master, there was no one else.

"hatred--"

"I hate it so much—"

"Help me, remove the talisman—remove the talisman—"
