(three)
There weren't many things in the tower's room. The main purpose of this trip was to find the little ghost the tower was raising. However, Zhou Ziqiu didn't expect that it was Guan Xing's child. He easily removed the restraints from the stone and then left with the police.
In the car, the police officer next to Zhou Ziqiu received a phone call from the officer who was accompanying Cui Yongle in interrogating the suspect. During the call, the officer informed everyone in the car that Ta had suffered an unexpected accident during the interrogation and had exploded and died.
Everyone present was shocked, but Zhou Ziqiu was not surprised at all, looking at the long hair that could only be seen by the stone as he played with it.
However, after exchanging a few words with the other end, the police officer handed the phone to Zhou Ziqiu. Zhou Ziqiu took the phone, puzzled, and then Cui Yongle's voice came from the other end: "Little devil, are you out of danger?"
"Hmm." Noticing that Cui Yongle's tone was off, as if he was suppressing a laugh, Zhou Ziqiu frowned. "What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Cui Yongle could no longer hold back and burst into laughter: "You don't know, hahaha, that tower, hahaha, that tower's blood was all spilled on Wen Su, hahaha, you don't know Wen Su, hahaha, you don't know how sour Wen Su's face is."
Cui Yongle's laughter could be heard throughout the car. The fat man curiously leaned over and asked, "What's the chairman laughing about so happily?"
Zhou Ziqiu found the scene amusing and didn't answer the fat man's question. Instead, he handed the phone to him and let him listen to it himself. After listening, the fat man also laughed out loud.
After leaving the tower's house, they didn't go to the police station but returned to the hotel because of the ghost child, Stone, that Zhou Ziqiu had brought back from the tower's house.
When they arrived at the hotel, Cui Yongle was already sitting on the sofa reviewing the interrogation records. When he saw them return, he didn't even raise his eyelids, but pointed to the bathroom next to him where the sound of running water was coming from. It was obvious who was in there.
"Did you find anything?" Zhou Ziqiu sat down next to Cui Yongle, holding the stone. The ghost child in his arms was a little scared because he was new to the place and there was a very powerful person nearby. He hugged Zhou Ziqiu's neck tightly and his body was trembling. Zhou Ziqiu quickly comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry."
Cui Yongle, who was about to look up and answer Zhou Ziqiu's question, was surprised to hear what Zhou Ziqiu said next and asked in surprise, "Who are you talking to?"
"Ah, I brought back the little devil that the tower raised," Zhou Ziqiu said casually.
Cui Yongle stared wide-eyed at Zhou Ziqiu's arms, but all he could see was Zhou Ziqiu's floral shirt, not a ghost. He then took out a talisman and activated his Yin-Yang Eyes, and indeed saw a child in Zhou Ziqiu's arms.
"Tell me what you've discovered first."
“Okay.” Cui Yongle lowered his head and roughly summarized the interrogation record: “That Chinese man is not from the Sun family, but he is indeed from Guanxing.” Zhou Ziqiu nodded and continued listening, “That man knew very little. We asked other people and found out some things.”
“They are all members of this gang. They originally made their living through fraud, but a while ago, the Guanxing people learned that some Chinese people were involved in selling ghost children, and they were all from Guanxing. So they wanted to try raising them. All three of them bought them, and that's how Ta got his two ghost children.” Cui Yongle paused. “According to them, the people who bought the ghost children were part of an organization. The leader was a Thai man named La, and his description of his appearance was similar to what you described back then.”
After saying that, Cui Yongle sighed, "Why bother?"
Zhou Ziqiu lowered his eyes to meet Shi Tou's large eyes: "Yes, why bother?"
After hearing this, the fat man and the man with glasses sighed, "Why bother?"
"What are you saying? What do you mean 'why bother'?" Wen Su, who had just finished showering, pushed open the bathroom door and came out. He was drying his hair with a towel in one hand and holding a bath towel that only covered his lower body in the other. As soon as he came out, he saw the ghost child in Zhou Ziqiu's arms. He asked as he closed the bathroom door, "Where did you bring this child from?"
Since Wen Su came out of the bathroom, Shi Tou had been hiding in Zhou Ziqiu's arms, not daring to look at Wen Su. Children's intuition is the most acute, and the things on Wen Su frightened him, making him subconsciously unwilling to get close to Wen Su. He didn't want to be killed by Wen Su.
"Why are you so shy?" Wen Su noticed that the child was afraid of him and even went up to pinch Shi Tou's chubby cheeks. He wasn't surprised at all when he saw that the child had no pupils.
When Cui Yongle saw Wen Su finally come out of the bathroom, he asked, "Are you all clean?"
"Hmm, I washed it twice more." Wen Su, who had just been splattered with blood at the police station, quickly rinsed himself off in the station's toilet. But even blood smells bad to a black-hearted person. Wen Su hurriedly returned to the hotel and washed it several more times, but he could still smell the stench. "Smell me, smell if there's still any blood on me."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand so that Zhou Ziqiu in front of him could smell it. The fat man next to him also came over. The refreshing orange scent of the shower gel filled his nose, and the fat man exclaimed, "Boss, you look like an orange right now!"
Wen Su raised an eyebrow, withdrew his hand from Zhou Ziqiu's face, and instead slapped the fat man: "You're the one who looks like an orange."
When Wen Su handed him his hand, Zhou Ziqiu also smelled it. He did smell a hint of orange, but what he smelled more clearly was incense. It smelled refreshingly clean.
After confirming that he didn't smell bad, Wen Su took a towel and went back to his room to change his clothes. Seeing that the "bad guy" had left, Shi Tou finally raised his head and whispered to Zhou Ziqiu, "That guy smelled weird."
"?!" Zhou Ziqiu was slightly surprised. Could a stone also smell Wen Su's scent?
He made an excuse to take the stone back to his room first. After setting up a barrier in the room, he put the stone on the sofa and looked at it with a serious expression: "What did you smell?"
“I can’t quite put it into words, it’s like… the scents of many people are mixed together on him.” Shi Tou grimaced, racking his brains for a long time before coming up with a fitting description. But this description confused Zhou Ziqiu. What did “the scents of many people” mean? Then, Shi Tou told Zhou Ziqiu something even more shocking—
“I heard other people’s voices inside his body.”
These words shocked Zhou Ziqiu so much that he unconsciously tightened his grip on the stone: "What did you say?!"
Could it be Xie Xingzhou?!
No, it can't be Xie Xingzhou. Wen Su is his reincarnation, so this wouldn't happen.
What is that? Evil magic? Wen Su used evil magic?
Shi Tou nodded firmly, indicating that he hadn't misheard: "I heard voices like my grandfather's, my parents', older brothers' and sisters', and many others."
What does that mean? Grandpa? Dad and Mom?
Zhou Ziqiu quickly realized: "You mean there are old people's voices and adult voices, right?"
Stone nodded.
Why?
Zhou Ziqiu was completely baffled. Why?
Why?
"Did you hear what they were saying?" Zhou Ziqiu asked tentatively.
But Stone shook his head: "I can't hear them clearly, they're talking incoherently."
Zhou Ziqiu lowered his eyes and remained silent, but a tidal wave of emotions surged within him.
Just like the Sun family head who raised a ghost child to prolong his life, people who have used evil magic will have a disgusting smell on them, and their bodies will change in his eyes. He can tell at a glance whether a person has used evil magic, just like he saw the dead infant face on the Sun family head at a glance.
But he didn't see it on Wen Su. In fact, Wen Su didn't even have a disgusting smell. Instead, he smelled a fragrance that he liked very much.
"Big brother." Stone's call brought Zhou Ziqiu back to his senses. He stopped the mental whirlwind in his mind and looked at Stone. "What's wrong?"
"Why didn't that person kill you?" Stone asked, his eyes wide with curiosity.
Stone could sense that he and Zhou Ziqiu were both objects that many humans wanted to control or eliminate, which was why he grabbed Zhou Ziqiu's clothes and made him run away.
"He's a good person." Zhou Ziqiu smiled, patted Shi Tou's hair, and said a good word for Wen Su.
"Oh." Shi Tou stopped talking, clearly not believing him. Zhou Ziqiu smiled and remained silent, then went to ask some questions related to the case.
On the third day, the Guanxing police finally arrived in Thailand and handed over their work to Cui Yongle and others. The investigation and communication were transferred to them, attempting to crack this major transnational case involving the trafficking of children. The special investigation team was also assigned a new task; everyone was disguised so that from a distance, they couldn't be identified as Chinese. 18:57:19
