Jiang Chuxu did not stay long. She knew that the two siblings of the Bai family were probably thinking about how to find the person behind the trick, and she was also anxious to find the mother and daughter.
It was also easy to find the mother and daughter. She had just sensed the emotions through the scapegoat, and the scapegoat was related to the mother and daughter, so she could sense the location through this medium.
Jiang Chuxu clutched the necklace and said to the Bai family driver, "Let's go to the east of the city first."
The driver didn't ask why and drove towards the east of the city as instructed.
The east of the city is the old city area, where there are many old buildings and the roads are narrow, but there are also many people along the way.
When they arrived at the door of a shop, Jiang Chuxu said, "Okay, just take me here."
This place is very close to the mother and daughter, and the scapegoat is still in the necklace. If they sense the presence of the scapegoat and pounce on them, the driver and passers-by may be injured.
As soon as she got off the car, she sensed a strong yin energy, which made the place very cold. Perhaps that was why there were so many people sitting near the shop to cool off.
Jiang Chuxu couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In fact, the people here are quite brave. It was the same during the live broadcast just now. It was only when she turned on the plug-in at the beginning that she scared some people.
She walked in slowly without attracting much attention. There was a building behind the shop. The outer wall of this building had fallen off, and the basement in the scapegoat's memory was not strictly speaking a basement.
Perhaps it could barely be considered a sunken first floor, after all, the ventilation and lighting were all quite good. As soon as she approached, she smelled a faint smell of blood and the unique fishy smell of ghosts.
There was no change in her expression, but she was suddenly stopped by someone when she approached the door.
"Little girl, are you coming here to rent a room?"
Jiang Chuxu nodded, and the old lady immediately shook her head. Then she leaned closer and whispered, "It's better not to live here. I heard it's not clean here."
"It seems the previous family who lived here disappeared, and the police came to investigate several times."
Jiang Chuxu smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma. I'll just take a look and leave."
She was sure the mother and daughter had noticed her, so there was no need for her to go in.
Seeing that Jiang Chuxu listened to her advice, the old lady stopped talking and turned around and sat back under a tree not far away.
Jiang Chuxu looked around and chose a place with few people.
As the voices around her grew louder, the negative energy behind her also grew heavier.
When she walked into the woods and turned around, she saw two blurry faces.
The older woman's head was covered in blood and flesh, and she was still holding the rusty boning knife in her hand. The little girl next to her had wet hair and a dark complexion.
Jiang Chuxu's face didn't show any abnormality. She just said, "I know you are looking for him."
As she spoke, she spread out her palm, and the necklace was in her palm. A ball of turbid black mist poured out of the necklace, and finally slowly condensed into a human shape on the ground.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. You must resolve your own karma."
After Jiang Chuxu finished speaking, he decisively took Xiao Hei in his arms and took two steps back, leaving the battlefield to the three of them.
The twisted ghost of the domestic violence man was nailed to the spot by the evil energy emanating from the mother and daughter. His cloudy eyeballs suddenly bulged out, and he kept making "ho ho" gasping sounds in his throat. He looked even more terrifying like this.
The girl dug her dark blue fingers into the domestic violence man's shoulders, while the woman raised the boning knife and stabbed it into his chest again and again.
"Let me go..." The scapegoat's plea for mercy seemed to be split in two by a boning knife. His body was constantly torn into pieces, and then pieced together again and again by the yin energy surrounding him.
Jiang Chuxu's clothes were lifted by the cold wind. She touched Xiao Hei's soft fur and took a few steps back.
I don’t know how much time passed, but when the scapegoat’s screams completely dissipated, the mother and daughter seemed to calm down.
They took a deep breath and said to Jiang Chuxu solemnly, "Thank you."
Although they are not trapped in the original place, it is still very difficult to find a ghost that is deliberately hiding. Their resentment will continue to grow if they cannot find it.
By the time their resentment turns to reason, they might do something irreparable, but now those worries no longer exist.
Faint laughter came from the crowd enjoying the cool air in the distance, and Jiang Chuxu put the necklace into his pocket.
"I just called the police. Your bodies should be found soon."
As if to confirm her words, the sound of sirens coming from far away broke the silence of the old city.
The little girl's body trembled slightly when she heard the sound. The woman slowly squatted down, and her hand holding the boning knife trembled slightly.
"Don't be afraid."
"sorry."
Tears of blood welled up in the woman's eyes. If she had not trusted the domestic violence man, if she had discovered his true face before marriage, if... there were too many ifs, and in the end it could only turn into a sigh.
The little girl shook her head and smiled: "It's not our fault."
The scene of the two holding hands was warm, and Jiang Chuxu could only sigh heavily.
"Once the police find your bodies, you will be able to reincarnate. I hope you will be happy in your next life."
After Jiang Chuxu said this, some of the merits that the mother and daughter had just given her floated back to her.
She doesn't quite understand these emotional matters, but she hopes that the ghosts she meets will be fine.
Jiang Chuxu didn't say anything else. She left time for the two of them and went to where the police were.
When she called the police, she clearly stated the location of the two bodies, so it was not difficult for the police to find them. Therefore, when she arrived, the basement entrance was already blocked by a cordon.
Criminal Investigation Team Leader Lu Changan, wearing a mask, looked at the team members next to him and asked, "Have you found the person who reported the case?"
When someone reported the missing person, the police came here to look for him, but found nothing. This time, the reporter actually said directly that the body was sealed under the bed with cement.
Anyone who knows the location of the body so well is either an insider or a suspect, so they will definitely have to question him.
"I'm here."
Jiang Chuxu happened to be standing behind the two of them, and there was a hint of impatience in her tone.
Jiang Chuxu was standing outside the cordon, and when Lu Changan turned around, he happened to meet her shining gaze.
Lu Changan was puzzled. Why did this look seem a bit expectant?
His gaze stayed on Jiang Chuxu's face for two seconds, then he crossed the cordon and walked in front of her.
He took off his mask, revealing a sharp face with a thin scar on his brow bone. His eyes were so sharp that they seemed to want to cut someone open. "Are you the person who reported the case?"
"Yes." Jiang Chuxu nodded, and the little Heiran in his arms meowed, attracting Lu Changan's glance.
The young policeman behind him had already taken out his notebook, the tip of his pen hovering over the paper.
"How did you know there was a body here?"
Jiang Chuxu remained calm and said, "I smelled something while taking a walk, and followed it to find me."
The police investigate cases based on facts. The original owner should have been still alive when the mother and daughter died.
During those days, the original owner was basically dealing with her own family affairs and had no time to come to the east of the city to kill people and hide bodies. Even if her reasons did not stand up to scrutiny, the police would not do anything directly to her.
Jiang Chuxu took the initiative to call the police this time because she wanted to have a clear path forward. She would have to deal with these things in order to accumulate merit. She would have to deal with the police sooner or later anyway, so it would be better for her to take the initiative.
"There are shops all around this building, and the smell of cooking fumes is very strong." Lu Changan glanced at the alley in the distance, where there were many barbecue restaurants.
He suddenly took a step closer, and a sense of oppression hit him. "How can the smell of decay cover this? Besides, the cement seal is very thick, and ordinary people can't smell it."
Jiang Chuxu said confidently: "Yes, I am not ordinary. My five senses are naturally better than others."
Lu Changan: ...
This is called taking advantage of the situation.
"My sense of smell is very sensitive, and since Xiao Hei kept meowing towards us just now, I felt that there must be something unusual."
"The pipes in these buildings in the old city are all connected. If there's a body in the basement, the smell will float up. Plus, it's been raining recently, so the basement will get damp and the cement seal won't be tight. Also, someone saw the domestic violence man buy two bags of cement."
Jiang Chuxu then said confidently, "Isn't it obvious that it's sealed in cement?"
She was not talking nonsense. Someone among those people who were enjoying the cool air had indeed mentioned buying cement.
Many people also think that the domestic violence man beat the person to death and hid the body in cement, but they are not sure whether anyone dared to call the police.
Lu Changan felt tired. This logic was indeed sound. He was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Okay, we will go back and investigate. We just need you to go to the police station and make a statement."
Jiang Chuxu's eyes lit up: "Let's take care of the food while I'm taking notes. I haven't eaten yet."
Lu Changan was tired again. He could only comfort himself in his heart, forget it, it’s not normal for her to be old.
"I'll provide food, but if it's discovered that you're involved in the murder and the hiding of the body..."
Jiang Chuxu affirmed: "I am a law-abiding citizen. I will call the police as soon as I see a dead body."
At this time, the team members who went to look for the little girl's body came back and came to Lu Changan and said, "Captain, we found it. It's really in the pond."
The second body was also found. Lu Changan didn't have time to talk to Jiang Chuxu for the time being, so he could only let two team members take Jiang Chuxu to the police station first.
Because everyone else was still at the scene and had not returned, they did not start taking statements for the time being. Jiang Chuxu sat quietly on the bench in the police station, holding Xiao Hei in his arms.
It was already dark when Lu Changan and the others returned to the police station. Jiang Chuxu was carrying the food she had packed from the police station cafeteria, while Xiao Hei was curled up on her lap and taking a nap, his tail occasionally brushing across the back of her hand.
"Ms. Jiang, we checked the basement's rental records." Lu Changan spread the folder on the table. "The tenant is Zhang Jianjun, the domestic violence man you mentioned. The system shows that he drowned a week ago."
Lu Changan pulled up the household registration file again and continued, "Li Hongmei and her daughter Li Xiaoyue were reported missing a month ago. At the time, Zhang Jianjun said they had run away with someone."
Jiang Chuxu sighed silently. When crimes are not punished as they should be, violence will become more serious in silence.
At this time, the on-duty police officer Xiao Chen came in with the evidence box. Lu Changan glanced at Jiang Chuxu, then led Xiao Chen to another corner to talk.
Xiao Chen whispered, "Captain, the owner of the building materials wholesale market confirmed that Zhang Jianjun bought two bags of cement the day before Li Hongmei was reported missing. This is a screenshot from the surveillance footage."
In the pixel-blurred picture, Zhang Jianjun is loading cement onto a van.
"While we were fishing in the pond, an old man who was fishing said he saw Zhang Jianjun burning paper by the river in the middle of the night," he said, handing over the interrogation records. "The old man remembered that it was raining heavily that night, and Zhang Jianjun was looking at the pond, crying and laughing, and kept saying things like, 'Don't bother me, I'm wrong,'" he said.
"And the person who just reported the case started a livestream." Xiao Chen showed Lu Changan the screen recording of the livestream that was widely circulated online. "This person in the livestream? His face looks similar to Zhang Jianjun."
Xiao Chen really didn't know how to describe the thing lying on Bai Yunqiu's back in the picture. If he said it was a human, it didn't look like one. If he said it was a ghost, what would happen to his worldview?
Jiang Chuxu noticed that Xiao Chen's gaze was always drifting towards her. She had good hearing, so she naturally heard what Xiao Chen said.
She was not surprised that the police knew about her live broadcast. She guessed that the police were still guessing whether the footage was real or fake.
She calmly finished the last bite of her meal, her clear eyes reflected in the bottom of the stainless steel bowl.
Lu Changan took a closer look at the video and said decisively, "Submit the video to the technical department first to see if it can be synthesized. Keep an eye on her next live broadcast."
Regardless of whether it is true or false, we must pay attention to it. Apart from anything else, it is strange that these scenes appeared in Jiang Chuxu's live broadcast but were not blocked.
Perhaps Jiang Chuxu intentionally appeared in front of them this time.
But what is her purpose in doing this?
