Chapter 1041 The Returnee's Notes 115
Even though it was the middle of summer, the room was still cool without the fan on. Team Leader Huang couldn't help but stand up and crane his neck to look, and then he saw that some of the rice grains that Ouyang Lin had thrown into the bowl had turned black.
Just as Team Leader Huang was wondering to himself, Ouyang Lin had already begun to calculate the location based on the number of black and white rice grains.
Xie Ning was also silently calculating. Although she could use the sixty-four hexagrams for calculation, she still had some difficulties in applying it in practice. For example, she had never seen Ouyang Lin's method before.
She didn't understand this very well and could only calculate a general direction, but actually, a compass could indicate that general direction. What Ouyang Lin was mainly calculating was the distance.
The little ghost stood inside and circled its tuft of hair several times before slowly returning to Xie Ning's side. Its spirit state was much better than before; at least it didn't look as terrifying.
It seems that Ouyang Lin is indeed very skilled at dispelling the resentment of ghosts.
Sensing something, the little devil instinctively struggled to slip outside, but Xie Ning quickly pulled him back into the umbrella.
But the little devil was still unconvinced.
Xie Ning nodded to Ouyang Lin, then took the umbrella and went out. There was no need to use the little ghost now; the little ghost had acted strangely earlier, and she had to go out and check on it.
But as soon as he stepped out the door, he almost bumped into a police officer who was running very fast.
"Call an ambulance!" the officer shouted.
But waiting for the ambulance would be too slow, so the woman was quickly carried out.
Xie Ning, who had followed silently, saw the other person's face. Because she had also been involved in the case, she was familiar with the appearance of Xiao Gui's parents.
The couple, the child's parents, came to the police station almost every day to ask if the murderer had been found.
They were also particularly cooperative when questioned by the police.
They only had one child, and he just left like that, in such a cruel way. Just thinking about it makes them feel suffocated and empty inside.
I don't know why the child's mother collapsed today.
Seeing that the police officers were very skilled in first aid, Xie Ning did not volunteer to rush forward.
Upon seeing a familiar policewoman, Xie Ning asked what had just happened.
“We don’t know either. The lady fainted after answering a phone call. We immediately gave her first aid, but it didn’t help much. Her husband said she has a heart condition.”
If I had known this would happen, I should have kept it a secret. But this person had already learned about the child being dismembered some time ago and had managed to pull through. How come he suddenly had a heart attack now?
Seeing that it was Xie Ning, the policewoman didn't hide anything and even talked about Jiangcheng. The case of the Mo family had long been out of their hands, but that didn't stop them from seeing the sighs behind those dark secrets.
Xie Ning chatted for a while, thinking to himself that the umbrella in his hand had been trembling, which must have been because it sensed his parents' presence.
"Is it... over there?"
The policewoman pointed in the direction of the office. Actually, they didn't know what was going on inside, but based on recent events and some supernatural rumors within the department, she guessed that they might be performing a ritual.
After all, these past few days, Huang's team leader's hair had turned white from worry, becoming as dry as weeds.
Xie Ning coughed lightly, "That's about it."
There are few ghosts in police stations. Most of the ghosts you see in police stations are the spirits of the victims trapped in their belongings.
But even such spirits are very difficult to see.
After all, ghosts would naturally feel uncomfortable in a place like a police station because of the strong yang energy.
Xie Ning took the black umbrella back and carefully tied it up again. Ouyang Lin had already calculated the approximate areas where the body was disposed of: one was under a tree in a certain residential area, and the other was on a slope next to Highway 108.
The place was remote and far from Huixian County, so no one expected the murderer to dump the body there.
The ones in the residential area are even simpler; they might have been tied with stones and sunk into the lake.
The location where the body was dumped by the highway led Captain Huang to suspect that the murderer was from out of town, while the second location made people wonder if the murderer was a local.
After all, Huixian County has quite a few lakes, and also a fast-flowing river.
Why choose a lake in a particular residential area?
Team Huang immediately dispatched two teams: one to Highway 108 and the other to retrieve the body from a lake in a residential area.
After that, there was nothing more for them to do. Even if they wanted to send the little ghost away, it would be better to wait until all of its corpses were gathered together. This little ghost might not have any obsessions, but it had a lot of resentment.
So whenever they had free time, Ouyang Lin and Xie Ning would recite a sutra for the little ghost, and occasionally Ouyang Lin would play a requiem.
In this way, the resentment in the little devil subsided somewhat, but the resentment remained, which was due to his unwillingness to accept his death.
And it is precisely because he is a child that his resentment is both heavy and pure, but it is also because he is a young child that he is easier to appease.
