Lu Qing took out his police identification. After the woman saw the identification, a flash of panic quickly crossed her eyes.
"Hello, I'm Lu Qing, a consultant at the police station. I'd like to ask you a few questions. Are you available now?"
"It's...convenient, please come in!"
The woman lowered her eyes, trying to hide her panic.
Upon entering the room, Lu Qing noticed that the Nine Nether Lotus Fire's reaction had become even stronger.
Although the house had been cleaned up, the lingering aura of evil spirits from the past remained.
Therefore, it is clear that the man who died after swallowing the needle was harmed by evil spirits.
"Officer, are you asking about my husband?" The woman's eyes darted around nervously.
Lu Qing didn't answer, but instead started pacing around the room.
The Nine Nether Lotus Flame flickered particularly brightly at one spot along the wall.
Lu Qing pointed to that spot and asked:
"Your husband died there, didn't he?"
The woman trembled and nodded stiffly, "Yes...yes."
Seeing how nervous she was, Lu Qing became certain that her husband's death must be related to her.
Lu Qing smiled and said in a light tone:
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking about the situation."
"Didn't we already ask at the police station before? I was out of town the day my husband died, and there are witnesses to that," the woman said hurriedly.
"I know, it's because the murderer hasn't been caught yet, so the case is still under investigation!"
Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, the woman unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Qing's eyes flickered slightly, then she smiled and asked:
"You live alone now?"
The woman nodded slightly: "Yes, my husband is dead, and my family lives far away. Besides myself, there is no one else with me."
Lu Qing: "Your husband died so tragically, aren't you afraid?"
Fear flashed across the woman's face, but she still tried to remain calm and said:
"I didn't kill anyone, what am I afraid of!"
Lu Qing smiled and nodded: "That's right, ghosts only seek revenge on those who killed them."
"But you have to be careful. Ghosts are also transformed from humans. Humans miss home, and so do ghosts. Who knows, your husband might come back to see you one day."
Upon hearing this, the woman turned pale with fright.
"Officer... Officer, you must be joking. How could there be ghosts in this world!"
Lu Qing raised the corners of his mouth, his deep eyes looking at her:
"There are so many bizarre and wonderful things in this world, who can guarantee that there aren't ghosts? Don't you think so?"
The woman trembled, her legs went weak, and she bumped into the table, knocking over her water glass.
"I was just talking nonsense, sorry, I scared you!" Lu Qing apologized with a smile.
The woman kept her head down, her face pale, and it took her a long while before she weakly raised her head:
"Excuse me, officer, I'm not feeling well."
Lu Qing nodded: "Okay! Anyway, I've said everything I wanted to say, so we'll be going now."
Before leaving, Lu Qing didn't forget to leave a message:
"If you live alone, remember to lock the door at night!"
As soon as Lu Qing and the others closed the door, they heard the sound of a cup shattering and a heavy object falling to the ground from inside.
"Qingqing, she really is..."
"Shh!" Lu Qing gestured for everyone to be quiet, then pointed to the elevator.
"Let's leave first and talk about it later."
Everyone nodded, got into the elevator, and only asked after exiting the building:
"Is the evil spirit attached to that woman?"
Lu Qing shook her head slightly:
"No! She doesn't have any evil aura, but her husband's death is definitely related to her."
“I just deliberately provoked her with my words. If she loses her temper, she will definitely take action. Let’s wait and see.”
Lu Qing left behind a small paper doll to monitor the woman, and then led the others away from the residential area.
Two or three hours later, the little paper doll brought a message that the woman had gone out.
Wearing a mask and hat, she dressed herself up in a way that made her completely different from her usual self. Then she quietly left the residential area, entered through another gate, and walked along a narrow path with almost no people and no surveillance cameras until she arrived at a building.
She looked around to make sure no one was watching before going up.
But what she didn't know was that shortly after she went up, Lu Qing and the others poked their heads out from the bushes next to her.
"Qingqing, you were right, she really did take action!"
"Should we go up and take a look?"
Lu Qing thought for a moment:
"I'll definitely go up, but you guys have to stay here; I'll go alone."
"Evil energy can possess other people at any time. It's not safe for you to follow me."
Without uttering a single unnecessary word, the four nodded decisively.
"Okay, you go by yourself, we won't cause you any trouble!"
But you have to be careful!
"Okay!" Lu Qing nodded, then went straight upstairs.
There was no elevator in the building, so Lu Qing followed the instructions of the little paper doll to the fifth floor.
As soon as it got close, the Nine Nether Lotus Flame turned purple.
"It really is here!"
Lu Qing formed hand seals, first setting up a barrier around the area to prevent the evil energy from escaping, before stepping forward to knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door, which startled the person inside.
The woman looked nervously at the person sitting opposite her:
"Someone's here! Could it be the police?"
The woman opposite me had a hoarse voice, but her tone was very gentle:
"Don't be afraid! I'll go check!"
The woman slowly got up and went to the door, looking out through the peephole.
As her eyes drew closer, she saw a purple lotus flame rapidly enlarging in her pupils.
"ah!!!"
Upon hearing a scream, Lu Qing immediately instructed the paper figure to open the door from the inside.
Upon entering, one sees a woman exuding an evil aura being scorched by the Nine Nether Lotus Fire.
The woman from earlier was standing right next to him.
Upon seeing Lu Qing, she instinctively tried to run away, but Lu Qing grabbed her and threw her back.
Lu Qing slammed the door shut, then manipulated a fire spell, merging it with the Nine Nether Lotus Fire to burn away the evil energy within her body.
The evil aura vanished, and the woman revealed her true appearance.
She used to have fair skin and a pure and beautiful appearance, but after the evil aura disappeared, ugly scars quickly spread across her face.
That was left behind by fire.
Lu Qing put away the Nine Nether Lotus Flame and looked at her, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Wu Yao, how are you?"
The woman rushed over, trying to help Wu Yao, who was trapped by the Nine Nether Lotus Fire.
Lu Qing quickly put away the Nine Nether Lotus Fire and the Fire Technique to prevent them from being injured.
The evil energy was burned away, and Wu Yao was extremely weak, but she still managed to comfort him:
"Siyin, I'm alright! Don't cry!"
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault!" Liu Siyin hugged Wu Yao, crying uncontrollably.
Looking at the way the two were looking at each other, Lu Qing suddenly seemed to realize something, and frowned as she asked:
"You two...are you a couple?"
Liu Siyin knelt down before Lu Qing, crying, and pleaded:
"Officer, it's all my fault. I'm the one who killed my husband. Please, let her go!"
Lu Qing quickly reached out to stop her head from falling.
"Wait a minute before you cry. Can you tell me what happened?"
She didn't want to do the divination anymore; the parties involved were all there, and it would be too much of a waste of energy to do it.
Wu Yao, barely managing to stay upright, glared at Lu Qingdao:
"Don't beg her! These cops are all bad. I'm the one who killed him. Arrest me if you want!"
