Faced with their angry curses, Zhou Xiang's face changed dramatically, like a palette of colors.
"Pah!" Everyone spat at the adulterous couple.
"What bad luck! If the deceased hadn't spoken, none of us would have known!"
At this moment, Qiu Ran's mother collapsed and ran in front of them, desperately hitting Zhong Shiqi and his son.
"You heartless father and son! You deserve to die a horrible death!"
"My daughter died so tragically!"
As Qiu's mother cursed and hit him, she was overcome with anger and fainted. Qiu's relatives rushed over to support her.
Suddenly, the lights went out again.
The next moment, Zhong Shiqi's neck was gripped tightly by an invisible force.
He felt a suffocating sensation, and a chill approached him.
"Zhong Shiqi, you'd better die!"
Those pale, ghostly hands, filled with immense resentment, gripped him tightly.
Zhong Shiqi's eyes widened as he was being choked; he wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't make a sound.
Zhou Xiang was almost scared out of her wits.
Even in the darkness, she could clearly see Qiu Ran's shattered face, exactly the same as the one she saw in the mirror in the room above.
Zhong Shiqi was lifted up by Qiu Ran. The veins on Zhong Shiqi's neck bulged, and his legs were in the air, kicking back and forth.
Zhou Xiang tried to escape, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she couldn't move at all.
At that moment, she felt a chill approaching the back of her head, and her neck was suddenly bitten hard, with a piece of flesh being torn off.
"Ah!" A piercing scream rang out.
The lights suddenly came on.
When everyone saw Zhou Xiang, she was clutching her bloodied neck, her face pale and contorted in pain, staring at them and reaching out her hand, crying, "Help...help me..."
Then I looked at Zhong Shiqi kneeling on the ground, looking like a madman, his mouth full of blood and flesh.
Everyone was shocked and took a step back in surprise.
Zhou Xiang crawled on the ground when the crazed Zhong Shiqi grabbed her leg and pulled it off with such force that he tore it off.
"Ah!" The woman let out a shrill scream and fainted from the pain.
Witnessing the bloody scene firsthand, the timid guests fainted from fright.
The children were promptly covered by adults who covered their eyes and ears and turned them away.
Zhong Shiqi's son was so frightened that his legs went weak. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the coffin.
"Mom! I was wrong! I was wrong! Please forgive us!"
He cried and said, "Mom! I was also very sad when you died, but I had my father on one side and you on the other. I couldn't bear to send my father to the police station with my own hands!"
His forehead kept hitting the ground, and blood quickly flowed out.
At this moment, the city's criminal investigation team finally arrived and dispersed much of the surrounding yin energy.
They managed to capture Zhong Shiqi in time while he was going berserk.
When everyone saw the police arrive, they instantly felt relieved, as if they had swallowed a weight.
Zhong Shiqi, who had been captured by the police, gradually regained his clarity in his bloodshot eyes as he looked at the blood on his body.
There was also a lover lying on the ground with one leg torn off, the severed limb lying there covered in blood…
The horrific scene jolted him awake. Looking at the blood-stained hands, he realized something.
"No... I didn't do it." He staggered and took a few steps back.
"It was Qiu Ran who did it, yes! She came to get revenge on me, she came to get revenge on me!"
His blood-stained hand grabbed the policeman's arm, and Ye Fantian frowned.
"Officers! She's come looking for revenge! My wife's come looking for revenge! Arrest her right now!"
Zhong Shiqi's mental state became increasingly unstable, and finally he burst into laughter.
Everyone stared in silence at Zhong Shiqi, who had completely gone mad.
Deputy Captain Ye Fantian asked, "We received a report from the public. What's going on here?"
One of them immediately exclaimed, "Officer! There's a ghost! Qiu Ran just came back to life!"
"Officer, Qiu Ran's vengeful spirit has just come to claim my life!"
Those with a strong sense of justice told the police everything that the deceased Qiu Ran had just said.
The police officers found it unbelievable, but they saw all the guests nod in agreement.
Ye Fantian frowned and said, "You're saying that the deceased just implicated all three of them?"
"Officers, what we saw was real! Qiu Ran really is a vengeful spirit coming to claim our lives! You must arrest Zhong Shiqi and the others!"
"These three beasts! They'll definitely go to the eighteenth level of hell after they die!" someone spat at Zhong Shiqi's son.
Ye Fantian fell silent.
Although they believed what these people said.
But... how should this case be handled?
They need evidence to arrest someone, and that evidence is what the deceased said.
They can't see ghosts.
The outside world will not believe this explanation.
For the world to believe, who would believe that the deceased herself would tell everyone who killed her?
When it comes to paranormal matters, the police have some trouble handling things.
At this moment, Bai Xi stepped out from the crowd and said, "Why don't you call your captain? He knows how to handle this."
Ye Fantian was taken aback.
Guests: Where did she come from? They couldn't find her anywhere.
Ye Fantian took out his phone and dialed the captain's number.
A short while later, the call was answered; it was a middle-aged man who appeared to be around forty years old.
Ye Fantian told the team leader about what the crowd had told him about the dead man coming back to life and the vengeful spirit seeking revenge.
After listening, the captain was silent for a few seconds. "I understand. You don't need to take over this case. I'll ask the director for permission to send someone else over. You can hand it over to them."
Ye Fantian was surprised to hear this, "Hmm."
The guests were puzzled as to why the police were still there and hadn't taken the three people away.
About twenty minutes later, another group of police officers arrived.
However, the police officers' attire was somewhat strange; they were wearing uniform black special uniforms.
The leader was a young and beautiful woman who seemed difficult to get along with; she was probably around twenty-seven years old.
Her gaze was cold as she looked at the coffin, then at the crowd, and said, "Who knows the situation here best?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and finally pointed to the beautiful young girl.
"she!"
"She's a Taoist priest!"
The woman's gaze fell on Bai Xi, then she walked towards her, sized her up, and asked, "Are you a Taoist priest?"
Bai Xi nodded, "Yes, I belong to no sect or faction."
She looked at the bracelet on her wrist and said, "Your magical artifact is very beautiful."
The other person paused, then extended their hand to her. "Hello! I'm the team leader from the Non-Natural Affairs Bureau. My name is Meng Qingran!"
Everyone: What exactly is the Non-Natural Bureau?
Aren't they police officers?
Bai Xi reached out and shook hands with her. "Hello, my name is Bai Xi, and I am a fortune-telling live streamer on the Dolphin platform."
People: Are all Taoist priests now doing live-stream fortune telling?
