Chapter 79 Even ghosts would be terrified.
Zhang Mo was willing to let Zhang Yiming off the hook mainly because she was indeed short of manpower.
This is especially true for people who are quick-witted, have a strong destiny, and are open to supernatural and ghostly matters.
Zhang Yiming is a perfect fit.
Moreover, even after their ancestral graves were desecrated, they could still say, "Our family has dragged others down with us. I must repay this debt." Such sincerity mixed with cunning is truly rare.
Moreover, he has a big weakness—his younger sister—who is always by his side. If she doesn't obey, Zhang Mo has plenty of ways to deal with her.
For capitalists, smart, capable employees with weaknesses are always the most useful.
"Yes, yes, I'm 100% willing!" Zhang Yiming was very excited about Zhang Mo's invitation, feeling that he had finally found the right track.
Despite having dealt with haunted houses for several years, he doesn't actually have the ability to see ghosts. The only ghost he can see is his sister.
Most of the time, it was his sister who went up to communicate with the ghosts in the haunted house, while he just stood at the door playing on his phone.
Therefore, he now held Zhang Mu, who truly possessed the ability to see ghosts, in boundless respect. He felt she must be some incredibly powerful reclusive master, and he couldn't wait to witness her abilities firsthand.
Zhang Yiming: "That haunted house is only half an hour's drive from here, why don't we go take a look now?"
Zhang Mo replied, "No rush. You just said their wish is to find the murderer?"
Zhang Yiming: "Yes."
Zhang Mo said matter-of-factly, "Then why don't you help them find it?"
Zhang Yiming: "......" Listen to that tone, he can find the murderer so easily, he really is a master!
Zhang Yiming took a deep breath: "I have considered this before. I had my sister ask them what the real culprit looks like, but..."
Zhang Youxuan looked aggrieved and continued, "But what they said contradicts each other. One said she has single eyelids, another said she has double eyelids. One said she has a round face, another said she has a square face..." In short, it's impossible to piece together a complete image of a person.
Zhang Mo pondered for a moment: "There's no way around it. Everyone's perception and aesthetic sense of appearance are different. Without systematic learning, it's really difficult to use precise language to completely describe another person's appearance."
“Besides, this is a case from over a decade ago, and there was no surveillance footage back then.” Zhang Yiming looked at Zhang Mo hopefully. “Mr. Zhang, is there any way?”
"I've thought of a way, but I don't know if it will work. We can't use it today, let's do it tomorrow. I'll drive over tomorrow to pick you up and we'll go take a look together."
"Uh? Okay, okay." Zhang Yiming readily agreed.
To be honest, he was a little curious as to why it was tomorrow and why they couldn't go now, but he didn't dare to ask.
.
As expected, Zhang Mo drove up to pick up Zhang Yiming and Zhang Youxuan early the next morning.
She only brought the Lang brothers, Lang Xing and Lang Yue, with her this time.
Jiang Mian and Wu Yun obediently went back to livestreaming to earn money for her.
One teaches swimming and captures the hearts of countless young girls. The other shows off his river-catch skills and drives countless anglers crazy.
They all have bright futures.
Unlike the three wolf brothers, who haven't found their most suitable track yet, after all, they can't run naked every day, right?
Moreover, their older brother went to Changbai Mountain and is temporarily away, so the two younger ones are like children without a mother, lacking motivation for anything. They video chat with their older brother three times a day.
Just recently, against the backdrop of heavy snowfall in Changbai Mountain, Lang Ri pointed to a group of Zhang Qiling cosplayers and asked Zhang Mo why they all looked so handsome and that he wanted to dress like them too.
Zhang Mo hung up the video call without any expression.
After getting into the car, Zhang Yiming looked at Zhang Mo's car with great envy and said that after he paid off all his debts, he would work for two more years and save up money to buy a nice car like that.
Zhang Youxuan told him not to waste money, as he needed to save money to get married in the future.
Zhang Yiming was stunned for a moment, then glared at her and said that he was prepared to be single for life.
Zhang Youxuan asked him why, looking completely bewildered.
Zhang Yiming told him to mind his own business and not interfere in adults' affairs.
Zhang Mo glanced at the rearview mirror and thought to himself: Oh ho, he's a fake orthopedic surgeon.
Soon, the group arrived at the location of the haunted house.
This is a detached villa in the suburbs, but it has a poor orientation and very poor lighting. Even early in the morning, looking through the window, it feels gloomy.
The surrounding houses also looked abandoned, with no one living there at all.
“Every night at a certain time, the lights in the house will start to flicker, but in reality, the house has been without water and electricity for a long time…” Zhang Yiming said helplessly. “Several other houses in the neighborhood were scared away.”
Zhang Mo clicked her tongue.
Playing with electric lights is a staple of horror movies, as if all these ghosts have gone to the same training school—it's really unoriginal.
"You two go in first and talk to them," Zhang Mo instructed Lang Xing and Lang Yue. "Let them be prepared to talk to me."
Lang Xing and Lang Yue went inside using the key provided by Zhang Yiming. Five minutes later, Lang Xing came out and waved, "Come in."
Zhang Mo went in first, followed by Zhang Yiming and Zhang Youxuan. They stopped as soon as they entered the living room.
Zhang Yiming couldn't see any ghosts other than his sister, so he didn't know what was going on and asked in a low voice, "How is it now?"
Zhang Youxuan had a hard time explaining: "...The three ghosts huddled in the corner. The little ghost cried loudly, the female ghost cried softly, and the male ghost dared not cry."
Zhang Yiming: "......" This strength is terrifying!
Zhang Mo sat down on the sofa in the living room and looked at the corner: "Hello, you three. Let me introduce myself. I am the current homeowner and future boss. I heard that you are willing to leave here if we can find your killer."
Therefore, I have provided two feasible solutions for the three of you.
First, there's a character creation app I just finished yesterday. It contains 29,000 character design templates. Since you guys aren't going to work your butts off now, just use this app to piece together the killer's appearance.
A family of three ghosts: "..." What kind of workload is this? Even ghosts would be scared.
Zhang Mo laughed: "Oh my, what's with those expressions? I haven't even heard you explain Option Two yet."
Option two is simpler. I'll take a picture of you with my phone now. You need to be completely focused, with the murderer's face on your minds. Can you do that? If not, then only 29,000 awaits you.
The family of three nodded in terror.
Zhang Mo held up her phone: "Okay, look at the camera, try to remember, we'll count down from five—five, four, three, two, one!"
Zhang Yiming: "???"
A second later, Zhang Mo glanced at her phone's photo album: "Alright, we have the killer's appearance. I'll contact the police this afternoon."
Zhang Yiming couldn't resist and leaned over to look at Zhang Mo's phone. In the horizontal photo, a family of three was huddled together, their faces tense and focused. Above their heads was a chat box that took up almost half the photo, containing the image of a strange man.
Zhang Yiming: "!!!"
What kind of incredible move is this?!
Unexpectedly, this wasn't the end of it. Zhang Mo put away her phone and smiled leisurely: "By the way, I guess even with the profile picture, it will still take the police time to find the person. Would the three of you be interested in temporarily moving to another place? This place has no water or electricity, and it's not very interesting, is it?"
I'll arrange a place for you, it'll definitely be better than here. The owner of that place is a property manager, a high-paying job, and the facilities there are much more upscale than here.
