There were also decoys set up outside the house; if it weren't for the police being called, the body probably wouldn't have been discovered even as it rotted and smelled bad.
Police contacted the homeowner and confirmed that the tenant was a girl named Hu Xinting.
The other person moved here a week ago and was not with anyone else.
At that time, Yang Juntong had not yet arrived in Hong Kong, but the other party had learned of his itinerary in advance.
Mingzhuo walked around the house and saw some talismans drawn by Hu Xinting.
She is actually very talented, and her talismans have already shown promise, but unfortunately, she has only learned harmful spells.
For example, a few days ago she got into an argument with another big fan over Yang Juntong's outfit. That big fan accused her of interfering too much in the artist's life and called her a stalker.
Because she had met and eaten with the fan in private while following their schedule, she knew some information about that big fan and sent them a cursed doll.
After receiving the doll, the big fan had nightmares every night. In a panic, she fell down the stairs and broke her leg.
And a talisman was inserted into the knee joint of the doll.
Police also discovered that Hu Xinting had used a secondary account to boast on social media a few days earlier, claiming that she was the only woman who truly had a brother.
No matter how jealous others are, it's useless. Her brother will always be by her side, smiling gently at her alone.
One netizen asked, "What does it mean to possess?"
She replied that it would be enough to keep his soul by her side.
Many netizens found this answer baffling, wondering if the person was mentally ill.
Only Mingzhuo knew that Hu Xinting was serious; someone had encouraged her to do this.
However, she was destined to fail. Her cultivation level was insufficient. For an ordinary person to forcibly use the Soul-Summoning Bell and Soul-Gathering Bottle would come at the cost of their life and soul.
Even if she were lucky enough to survive and successfully captured Yang Juntong's soul, she would only have benefited someone else.
Because the other party was using her from beginning to end and had no intention of letting Yang Juntong's soul live in the world.
When the truth is revealed, how could the other party possibly let her live?
Making a deal with the devil without considering how the devil can possibly keep his word?
Mingzhuo also discovered the tracking Gu he had planted. Sure enough, the other party quickly found out, killed the Gu worm, and left in a hurry.
It was precisely because he left in such a hurry that he didn't notice that Hu Xinting had secretly drawn a sketch of him.
The simple lines vividly depict the facial features; the man's lips are curved in a smile, as gentle as the spring breeze in March.
Mingzhuo fell into deep thought for a moment.
Li Wenhe stood behind her and, seeing her stare at the picture for a few seconds, said calmly, "You've got it wrong this time. This isn't something ugly."
On the contrary, he's a very handsome man, the kind who could easily play the male lead in a period drama.
Mingzhuo came to his senses and said, "You're wrong. Evil spirits can change their appearance, just like the painted skin in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. No matter how beautiful the appearance is, the inside is still ugly."
Li Wenhe looked at her with some surprise.
"Why do you look surprised?" Mingzhuo was puzzled. Had he said something wrong?
Li Wenhe looked away. "It's nothing."
She doesn't like ugly souls; in other words, she prefers kind souls.
His feelings were somewhat complicated; his fingers unconsciously clenched and then relaxed.
With this drawing, the investigation becomes much simpler.
Mingzhuo handed the painting over to the police. Everyone has their own expertise, so she could just wait for the arrest warrant to be issued.
This is considered a major criminal case, as it is related to several previous cases of sudden deaths, and the police are taking it very seriously.
With the mysterious Taoist priest handling the arrangements, there was nothing more for Mingzhuo to do.
The next morning, after Mingzhuo got up, Master Xuanmiao came to ask her for help. The surveillance footage showed that the camera had captured the other person's face.
The bounty has been issued, but so far no useful clues have been received. Master Xuanmiao would like to ask Mingzhuo for help in tracking down the other party's whereabouts.
He also had his own selfish motives. If that person continued to stay in Hong Kong, he would be a ticking time bomb. He had to find the person before Mingzhuo left.
Mingzhuo could only help by going to check.
She knew before she went that she would probably come up empty-handed, and sure enough, after seeing that face, she did some calculations and realized, "This is not his original body."
He Wangyao: "What do you mean?"
Mingzhuo: "It means I was possessed."
The body's original owner had not yet reached the end of his lifespan, but his soul was gone. The soul now inhabiting the body is a very powerful vengeful ghost—no, it's already at the level of a ghost king.
Gu Xu seemed to be deep in thought, "A Yao was possessed by an evil spirit."
He was scheduled to meet with clients in the afternoon, and since he had free time in the morning, he decided to come along with them.
"I didn't succeed that time!" He Wangyao quickly emphasized, fortunately Mingzhuo directly dealt with the evil spirit.
The mere thought of that evil spirit using his body to do bad things made him feel uncomfortable all over, as if he was unclean.
Li Wenhe asked, "Then this face isn't the same one from last night? Will he continue to possess other people's bodies to evade capture?"
Mingzhuo: "First, this is his face. After possession, his appearance will gradually change and merge into his original appearance. However, it is difficult to deduce his information from his appearance alone. Second, it is possible."
She paused, then added, "But I guess he won't switch bodies, because if he did, it would mean he'd have to forcibly merge his body and soul again, leaving him weak for a long time. How would he maintain his peak condition to kill me then?"
Gu Xu's brow twitched violently as he looked up at Ming Zhuo.
