At 12:30 a.m., the deceased returned home from working overtime. Shortly after entering the house, she discovered that there was someone else inside.
She realized that the deceased was hiding in the bathroom next to the door. If he tried to escape, he would probably be caught before he even reached the door.
So she pretended to call the food delivery restaurant, but actually called the police.
All the audio files were complete, and Lu Qing played them directly.
"Hello! I just ordered takeout and forgot to leave a note!"
"What delivery? This is the 110 emergency call center!"
"Yes! I know, I just ordered your hot pot, but I forgot to mention I didn't want chili!"
"You've got the wrong place. This is the 110 emergency center, not a shop. You've come to the wrong place!"
This is the first recording, only about twenty seconds long, but you can clearly hear the deceased's tension and the operator's impatience.
The operator was Shi Heyan.
The second call came immediately after the first, and the deceased's voice was noticeably more trembling.
"Hey! I'm not mistaken, I just ordered from your place."
"I already told you, this is an emergency call center, not a food delivery shop. Why don't you understand?"
“I know! My address is Room 2008, Building 30, Xin'an Lefu!”
"This is the emergency call center. We have no obligation to deliver your food. Please don't call again!"
"Hello! Hello!"
The call was disconnected again.
Normally, a regular operator would have noticed something was wrong long ago, but Shi Heyan seemed to have lost her mind; not only did she not realize it, she also hung up the phone directly.
The third call was even worse; there was no conversation at all, and the call was disconnected a second after it was answered.
After listening to all the recordings, Shi Hexuan was somewhat surprised.
He was unaware of this matter; he only knew that his sister had been fired from her job three months prior.
Shi Hexuan asked Shi Heyan why, but she didn't say. Perhaps she felt ashamed, or perhaps she felt guilty. In any case, apart from herself, no one in her family knew about this.
Lu Qing: "You should be more familiar with your sister's voice than I am!"
"So what? What does this have to do with my sister's death? Don't tell me it's the ghost of this deceased woman seeking revenge on my sister!" Shi Hexuan said sarcastically.
“Ghosts can’t just take revenge whenever they want. This place is too far from the graves of the dead. Ordinary vengeful ghosts can’t go that far, so we need someone’s help.”
Lu Qing flipped to the very end of the documents:
"The deceased's information and photos are here, take a look!"
The deceased was named Feng Jie. Her parents died early, and she lived with her grandmother since childhood. She also had a younger sister named Feng Rou.
Upon seeing the photo of the family of three, Shi Hexuan's eyes widened in surprise.
"This...this..."
Shi Hexuan did not know the deceased Feng Jie, but he had met her sister and grandmother.
The old woman who bumped into Shi Heyan last night was Feng Jie's grandmother, and the person who asked them to reset the room card was Feng Jie's sister, Feng Rou.
"You ran into these two last night, didn't you?" Lu Qing said with certainty.
"These two killed my sister! You knew all along, why didn't you tell us?" Shi Hexuan demanded angrily.
Lu Qing: "Didn't I remind her not to accept things from strangers? But she didn't listen."
"Since you already knew that Feng Jie's family wanted to take revenge on my sister, you should have told us everything. That way, my sister might not have died," Shi Hexuan said angrily, his eyes red.
Lu Qing couldn't help but sneer:
"Should I? Am I obligated to save your sister? I reminded her because she gave me an ice cream last night, but I didn't explain it clearly because she deserved this punishment."
"If we really have to say what should be done, shouldn't your sister, as a switchboard operator, have put more effort into the training instead of getting the job by bribing her?"
"Shouldn't she know how much hope of survival her job represented?"
"Shouldn't she have asked Feng Jie a serious question after she called the police, and then notified the police to come and rescue her?"
"If she had done what she was supposed to do, wouldn't Feng Jie have survived?"
"You've seen the information too. She was only twenty-five years old. She should have had a bright future, but she was humiliated and then fell to her death!"
"You think Shi Heyan died unjustly, but doesn't Feng Jie feel the same way?"
Shi Hexuan was speechless after being scolded by Lu Qing, and it took him a long time to finally manage to squeeze out a sentence:
"But...but my sister didn't do it on purpose, and besides, she paid them a lot of money in compensation!"
Lu Qing couldn't help but sneer:
"Then I'll have Feng Rou return that money to you, and you won't hold them responsible, okay?"
"No!" Shi Hexuan said angrily.
Lu Qing gave him a sarcastic look, then said coldly:
"It's no use saying no, because the real killers weren't Feng Rou and her grandmother."
"Who is that?" Shi Hexuan asked hurriedly.
Lu Qing: "I said, the one who killed was a vengeful ghost, Feng Jie, who transformed into a vengeful ghost to seek revenge."
After saying that, Lu Qing walked outside.
Shi Heyan's soul is still in Feng Jie's hands. Her resentment is too strong. If Feng Jie devours Shi Heyan's soul, her resentment will be even stronger.
Her desire for revenge is understandable, but that doesn't mean Lu Qing will let her grow up unchecked.
At this moment, Feng Rou was unaware that her scheme had been exposed.
She sat in her dormitory and took out the urn containing ashes that she had hidden under her bed:
"Sister, let Grandma take you away first. I'll quit my job in a few days, and we'll go back to our hometown together."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the old lady strode in and said urgently:
"Xiaorou, I just saw some police coming this way, let's go quickly!"
"Grandma, what are you afraid of? We're not the ones who killed people. I don't believe they can punish a ghost."
Just as Feng Rou finished speaking, the room door was kicked open.
"Humans have their laws, and ghosts have their rules. Come with us to the police station!"
Just as the two policemen were about to handcuff Feng Rouhe, the jar in her hand suddenly began to tremble.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Lu Qing's eyes darkened. He then pulled the two policemen back, formed a hand seal, and a golden light magic circle descended from above, pressing heavily on the jar.
The jar soon fell silent, and the wind subsided.
Feng Rou was shocked: "Sister, sister, are you alright?"
The old lady glared at Lu Qing: "What did you do to my granddaughter?"
Lu Qing said calmly:
"Don't worry! She's already dead, she can't die a second time, but if you don't listen to me, I'm not sure if her soul will be scattered."
That was just to scare them. There are a lot of people here, and if things really escalate, people might get hurt.
Feng Rou and the old lady also noticed Lu Qing's unusual behavior and dared not resist anymore.
Soon, the two of them, along with the jar, were taken to the police station.
Lu Qing found an empty room, closed the door and windows, and drew the curtains, making the whole room dark.
Besides Feng Rou and the old lady, only Gu Xicheng and Shi Hexuan remained in the room.
Lu Qing opened the jar and gently tapped it, saying:
"Are you going to come out on your own, or should I pull you out?"
