Hearing the door open, he got up, and when he stood at the window and looked down, he saw her rushing out the door.
Although I knew that ghost hunters, who do this kind of work, often go out in the middle of the night, I still felt that it was too dangerous for a girl to go out alone, and that she was too naive.
After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and called her. Li Zhiyi always liked to keep her phone on silent. She waited until the waiter served the dishes and was about to start eating. She drank a few sips of juice before remembering to take out her phone to check the time.
She happened to see Gu Siye calling her, so she answered casually and asked, "Hello, what's up?"
Where are you now? I'm coming to find you.
"My friend and I are having Haidilao hot pot at Chenyue Building. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Thank you, I can do it myself," Jiang Yu said to the waiter.
Gu Siyue heard a man's voice on the phone, and he immediately felt his enthusiasm extinguished by a bucket of cold water. He had been worried about her safety, but she was out having a late-night snack with a man instead of sleeping.
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?" Li Zhiyi thought his phone was broken.
With a snap, Gu Siye hung up the phone, slammed it onto the car seat, and then sullenly lit a cigarette.
Li Zhiyi felt completely bewildered. This person suddenly hung up the phone. Didn't he know that was very disrespectful?
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, let's eat."
Li Zhiyi had already noticed that the young master Gu seemed to have a bad temper and an unstable personality, so he didn't care about his emotions. After all, he hadn't provoked him or spent his money on food.
The two chatted while eating. "Jiang Yu, do you know how to start a live stream on this phone?"
Jiang Yu was taken aback. "Are you going to do a live stream? Have you decided what kind of streamer you want to be?"
"I want to be a fortune teller." Li Zhi said confidently. Although she didn't just play on her phone silently, she would still look at it to pass the time when she was bored. That day, she accidentally came across a fortune teller. Although the person was a charlatan who was just fooling people, it opened up a new world for her. She had real skills and knowledge. As long as she could make accurate predictions, she wouldn't have to worry about not having business.
Jiang Yu asked in surprise, "Why did you suddenly decide to do this?"
"I want to make money. I heard that you can make money by live streaming as long as someone gives you a tip. Can you teach me?" Li Zhiyi looked at Jiang Yu with sincere eyes.
Jiang Yu had handled many murder cases, including those involving female livestreamers who were killed after their advances were rejected. He knew that many men in the world were attracted to beauty, and that her looks would cause a huge sensation if she were to appear on a livestream. He didn't want her to constantly put herself in such a dangerous situation for material gain.
"Here's what we're going to do. I've been having a lot of trouble with cases lately. You could act as an informant to help me with leads. The reward for helping the police solve cases is quite generous. You might want to consider it."
"Really? There's a reward for providing clues that help solve the case?"
"Well, if you can solve this cold case, our police station is offering a reward of one million. Let me show you some photos first." Jiang Yu opened his phone, scrolled out photos of the murder scene, and handed them to Li Zhiyi.
Upon hearing the word "million," Li Zhiyi immediately sensed an opportunity to make money. She instantly perked up and carefully flipped through the photos. There were four photos in total, taken at different times.
The first picture was taken in the kitchen. There were colorful bloodstains all over the floor and walls, and a pile of minced meat on the floor.
The second photo was taken in a house made entirely of wood, which looked like a study. A woman's body was nailed to a wooden bookcase, and what was horrifying was that her entire body was covered with wooden nails.
The third photo was taken in the bathroom, where a woman's body was floating in the bathtub. It was swollen and looked like it had been dead for at least a week.
The fourth photo shows the living room with burn marks. It's unclear what burned on the floor, but you can vaguely see traces of bones in the ash.
"This last photo is from a recent murder scene. Four people have died in this villa, one per month. All four were murdered, but in different ways. The only clue we have is that they all died on the 15th of the month. This cunning killer has murdered four people but left no clues at the scene."
For the past few days, the police have been busy searching for clues in the villa, but to no avail.
"I forgot to mention, what's even stranger is that the owner of this villa immigrated abroad years ago. Our police tried to contact the owner, but we learned that the owner had been dead for several years. After the owner's death, no relatives came to claim the villa, and it has been vacant ever since. Now the villa is ownerless. We don't know who is so perverted as to keep killing people in this villa."
Li Zhiyi stared at the photo in a daze, and finally said, "Can we go to the scene now?" She wanted to go to the scene to look for clues. It was the middle of the night, so she could summon the spirit of the deceased and ask who killed him.
Although Jiang Yu felt it was inappropriate to go to a crime scene in the middle of the night, he knew that the girl in front of him was different from ordinary girls, so he nodded and agreed.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in a villa area in the east of the city. This area consists of terraced villas, not detached villas. Each villa has a single-story area of about 500 square meters, making it the best choice for middle and upper-class people.
Jiang Yu was in full charge of this case. Although there was a seal on the wall outside the door, he had the right to come and check. He took out his key and opened the door.
With a click, Jiang Yu turned on the lights in the hall. The light wasn't particularly glaring; it was a warm tone. The room was dusty, indicating that no one usually lived there.
"Turn off the light, and I'll try to perform the ritual."
After the lights were turned off, the room did not fall into complete darkness; on the contrary, the moonlight outside the window shone directly into the room.
Li Zhi threw out a talisman and chanted an incantation into the air; all was calm.
He tried again, but still no souls appeared. Logically speaking, four people had died in this villa, all of them murdered. It was a haunted house, so it was impossible that not a single soul could be summoned. Although no souls were summoned, Li Zhiyi sensed a wisp of resentment drifting through the room.
