The boy flicked his fingers, and a wisp of golden light emerged.
Chu Xiao's expression changed instantly, and his peach blossom eyes narrowed sharply.
Outside the interrogation room, no one understood why Captain Chu would suddenly get up and leave.
He stood in the corridor and took a deep breath.
Chu Xiao stood outside the interrogation room, observing the situation inside through the one-way glass. Besides the expressionless little girl Wu Yue, there was Yan Chiyu, who had been nonchalant and relaxed since entering.
His gaze was always drawn to that red patch in the corner.
Grass.
Damn it!
How could he have seen it? Why would he have seen it? He didn't want to see it at all!
Chu Xiao covered his eyes, gritted his teeth, and finally pushed open the door to re-enter the interrogation room.
The three people outside the door looked at each other in bewilderment, completely baffled by Captain Chu's unexpected move.
Immediately afterwards, they saw Chu Xiao walk straight to the corner...
They heard the conversation in the interrogation room clearly, and it was also recorded on the computer.
So this means—
Was Captain Chu trying to verify if Zhou Xiangdai's ghost was in the corner, or... did he see it?
Thinking of this, Yang Lianhai and Wang Yaobei couldn't help but recall the scene when they saw Lei Hengshan's body floating in mid-air.
It's terrifying to think about, but also incredibly exciting and frightening.
As Chu Xiao drew closer, Zhou Xiangdai's face turned deathly pale with terror: "Ah—stay away from me!"
A pleading look appeared on her face: "Please, please don't come near me."
Chu Xiao could tell that Zhou Xiangdai's fear was genuine; her trembling body resembled that of a seventy-year-old woman, and her eyes, radiating an aura of unresolved death, were glistening with tears.
Chu Xiao was also terrified.
He had seen Zhou Xiangdai's corpse being collected, and now he was seeing her 'alive' here again—what else could this be but a spirit!
Instantly, two strings in Chu Xiao's mind and heart snapped.
He composed himself, took two steps back, but Zhou Xiangdai's expression remained fearful. He took three more steps back, his waist slamming hard against the edge of the interrogation table, and he cried out in pain.
He didn't show it on his face, but tried to calm himself down: "Zhou Xiangdai, you must answer the questions I'm about to ask you truthfully."
On the other side of the glass window.
Xiao Tan's hands trembled as he typed, and he looked up in alarm: "Brother Dahai, Brother Bei, is... is Captain Chu possessed? Who is he talking to?"
Without thinking, Yang Lianhai blurted out, "Zhou Xiangdai, didn't he just say—Holy crap! Holy crap, holy crap! What name did Captain Chu just shout?"
Yang Lianhai was so shocked that he blurted out three curses.
He was dumbfounded, and carefully touched his agitated chest. "What's going on? Am I hallucinating? Or is my hearing suddenly malfunctioning? Bei, Bei, what did you hear?"
Wang Yaobei stared intently at where Chu Xiao's gaze was directed, and slowly said, "Zhou, Xiang, Dai."
"Check the security footage! Is there any change in the footage?"
The three of them crowded together in front of the monitor screen, staring intently at the corresponding monitored area.
In the dim light, there did seem to be a tiny, almost invisible white dot flashing in the corner.
"ah!"
The trio huddled together in fear, still shaken.
"Captain Chu suddenly came out just now... Could it be because he saw Zhou Xiangdai?"
"My goodness, I admire Captain Chu's courage so much."
"Oh dear, what should I do? I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to get out. I'm going to hug my sign that represents the core socialist values." Xiao Tan cried as she clung tightly to Wang Yaobei's arm.
Bei Ge pretended to be calm and reassured her, "Don't be afraid, Zhou Xiangdai should disappear after you finish asking your questions. Little Wu Yue just said that there is a lot of righteous energy here, and the little devils don't dare to come near. Don't be afraid."
Yang Lianhai, though frightened, managed to quip, "...So, don't pull on my clothes, you'll ruin them!"
