Chapter 887 Chapter 4: Interrogation
"The source? The source should be the evil spirit that caused the riot."
Yue Linglong said, still holding the whisk in her hand.
"Have you already regarded it as an evil spirit?" Li Muhan asked with a smile.
"To stay in the human world without permission and to harm others with resentment is the behavior of an evil spirit."
"Xiao Linglong." Li Muhan reached out from the back seat and gently took away her whisk. Although Yue Linglong was a little reluctant, she did not resist.
"Your master used to love sneaking out with me to play, and we often didn't take you with us. Where do you think we went?"
Yue Linglong snorted coldly: "Where else can we go? Internet cafe."
"Hahahaha, it's true. Most of the time we go to the internet cafe, but sometimes your master will drag me to help him investigate something."
Yue Linglong was slightly stunned, then raised her head and looked at Li Muhan through the rearview mirror.
"What is it? Master never told me."
"For example, there was a time, just like this time, when a factory was reported to be haunted. It seemed that there was some high-ranking power behind this factory, so the Special Management Bureau was also pressured to deal with the wronged spirit as soon as possible."
"Then what?" Yue Linglong continued to ask.
"And then? Your master defied all odds and scolded everyone who urged him to exorcise the spirit, including Director Chang Yue."
"Puchi." Yue Linglong couldn't help but chuckle, "Yes...that's what Master would do, but why would he do that?"
"Because he needed time to investigate what happened in the factory, he found me and asked me to go with him to investigate the factory in the middle of the night. So, in the middle of winter, I went to the factory with him every night to stake out."
"So this is why you often didn't go home at night during that period?" Xia Yue suddenly interrupted and said, "Huh, I thought you..."
"Tsk tsk, what do you think I am, a thief? I wouldn't dare to do that even if you gave me a hundred guts."
Li Muhan quickly comforted Xia Yue.
"Hmph." Xia Yue snorted coldly and said no more.
So Li Muhan continued.
"We spent a week investigating what happened at the factory. They were secretly doing some illegal activities, and a worker accidentally discovered this and was subsequently silenced by the factory staff. His ghost is indeed haunting the place, but he didn't harm anyone. He just wanted to warn others that this place is dangerous."
Yue Linglong was silent.
"So, your master threw all the evidence in Chang Yue's face. Chang Yue was furious and immediately bypassed all the higher-ups and took his men directly to take over the factory. In the end, the wronged soul's wish was fulfilled, and he finally reincarnated peacefully. So, Xiao Linglong, tell me, if it were your master, how would he handle this matter?"
“…”
Yue Linglong finally took a deep breath and said, "Master's approach is outdated. The Supernatural Management Department has to deal with a lot of supernatural cases every day. We can't investigate them all together."
"Because it's troublesome, you won't investigate?" Li Muhan's words seemed to have touched Yue Linglong's inner pain.
"...That's not what I meant."
"arrive."
At this moment, Xia Yue said something.
Then they found that the car had driven into the parking lot of a car rental company.
The security guard came over immediately.
“Excuse me, how many people are there…?”
Li Muhan took out his police officer ID.
"Is your boss here?"
Seeing that Li Muhan was from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the security guard also became nervous.
"Yes, yes, I'll take you to the hall and ask someone to take you there."
Led by the security guard, Li Muhan and others entered the building of the car rental company.
Although the security guard was also very curious, why would this police officer bring a handsome young Taoist priest with him?
But he didn't ask too much. Soon, the girl in the lobby took Li Muhan and others to the elevator after understanding the situation.
In the elevator, the little girl asked in a low voice.
"Brother, are you here because of Chen Xingfa?"
"Oh? How did you know?"
Li Muhan asked with a smile.
"Alas, this Xiao Chen, I think he's really been haunted by an evil spirit. Forget it, I can't say too much. Officer, we're here, please go in first."
The elevator reached the seventh floor. After the door opened, the younger sister attentively took Li Muhan and others to the general manager's door.
"Boss Lei, the person is here."
A fat middle-aged man in the office stood up enthusiastically, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Li Muhan.
"Comrade police officer, thank you for your hard work!"
“No hard work, just serving the people.”
Li Muhan said as he looked at the little sister.
"Could you please call Chen Xingfa for us? Thank you."
"Boss Lei, this..."
The younger sister looked at Mr. Lei.
"Go ahead and call, it's okay."
The middle-aged man waved his hand.
While waiting for Chen Xingfa, Li Muhan chatted with the boss.
"Xiao Chen has been with our company for three years. He's only 30, quite young. He's always polite to customers while driving a cart. He even returned lost property and was awarded a banner. But in the past six months, he's been restless and keeps making mistakes at work. Last time, he even drove someone to a funeral home while dazed. He said it was because he was possessed by an evil spirit, so..."
Just then, the office door opened.
A thin man walked in.
"Xiao Chen, come here, this is Officer Li."
"Officer? I, I haven't done anything wrong, have I?"
Li Muhan smiled and patted his shoulder. He was already very good at pretending to be a policeman.
"Don't be nervous, we're just trying to understand the situation. Look, it's not convenient to talk about these things in front of your leader. Can we find a quiet place?"
The boss is a man who has seen the world and knows how to read the atmosphere.
And if you can avoid this kind of thing, try not to get involved.
So he quickly stood up and said.
"Gentlemen, I'll lend you the conference room. Close the door. It's very soundproof."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Chen Xingfa followed Li Muhan and others to the conference room nervously. President Lei asked someone to make a few cups of tea and then closed the door.
Li Muhan walked to the window with a cup of tea and spoke as he watched the taxis coming in and out outside.
"Haunted?"
Chen Xingfa sat obediently on the chair, and felt a little nervous when Li Mu asked this question out of the blue.
"Ah? Ah... um... Officer, I, I haven't broken any law, right?"
Then he looked at Yue Linglong again, as if he thought it was Yue Linglong who called the police.
"What crime have you broken? Spreading feudal superstition? Then whoever first wrote this book should be shot."
Li Muhan turned around with a smile, leaned against the window, and winked at Xia Yue.
Xia Yue didn't move at all.
Li Muhan was a little embarrassed and winked again.
Then Xia Yue tilted her head and looked at Li Muhan, also squinting her eyes, just like two kittens greeting each other with their eyes.
"material....."
Li Muhan reminded.
Xia Yue then remembered that she seemed to have mentioned such a thing before.
So she took out a document from her file bag and threw it in front of Chen Xingfa.
"This, this is..." Chen Xingfa took the information and just took a look at it. He screamed in fright, threw the information away and shrank under the table.
Li Muhan walked over, pulled him out, then picked up Feng Yingxue's academic file and placed it on the table.
"Take a closer look, is it her who is pestering you?"
"Yes!! Yes! It's her!! It's her!! Please!! Save me!! Save me!"
"Bullshit." Li Muhan kicked over the chair he was sitting on.
Yue Linglong was a little surprised.
Why didn't Li Muhan catch the vengeful spirit, but instead made things difficult for the victim?
But Li Muhan quickly gave her the answer.
"You went to the Cuiwei Mountain Taoist Temple four times, asking for help four times. You always said you'd been in a trance lately, had a nervous breakdown while driving, and even drove to the crematorium, funeral home, and mountain trails for no apparent reason. But you never once said you'd actually seen that evil spirit. Now you're telling me with absolute certainty, it was her?!"
“I…I I…”
Chen Xingfa's forehead was covered in cold sweat and he was almost about to cry. He was not very tall to begin with and now he was being pulled by Li Muhan so hard that his feet were almost off the ground.
"Now, tell me! What is your relationship with Feng Yingxue? Is her death related to you? "
Yue Linglong was stunned. What was Li Muhan...doing?
Shouldn't we get rid of the spirit immediately...
"Li, Chief Li, you..."
"Shut up." Xia Yue grabbed Yue Linglong and told her not to speak for the time being.
"No! Her death has nothing to do with me!!"
Li Muhan sneered and let go of his hand, then tapped the desktop.
"Okay, now tell us what your relationship with Feng Yingxue is."
