The police officers present were all educated in materialism.
I don't believe in ghosts or gods.
Lin Yu's words were undeniably chilling.
Ma Jianguo asked incredulously, "Young Marshal, are there really ghosts in this world?"
Lin Yu glanced at him. "Since there are people in this world, why can't there be ghosts? However, the ghost I'm talking about isn't a ghost in the ordinary sense!"
Lin Yu said calmly, "There are many people in this world who practice unorthodox and unorthodox arts, such as corpse refining, witchcraft, ghost arts, and black magic, and so on! These things are far removed from ordinary people, but that doesn't mean they don't exist!"
As Lin Yu spoke, his gaze returned to the human skin, and he said, "This method of committing crimes is a kind of ghostly art called 'essence absorption'! It is recorded in some ancient books! People who practice ghostly arts specialize in absorbing the essence and blood of human beings, and their cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds! However, this kind of ghostly art has long been explicitly prohibited in the martial arts world of Great Xia. I never expected that someone would dare to defy the law and practice such an evil art!"
Ghost magic?
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
People are usually afraid of the unknown. Even though everyone present was a veteran police officer, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
Lin Yu then asked, "Are there any other clues?"
Ma Jianguo nodded quickly. "Using technology to track the perpetrator, we deduced that the perpetrator's activity range was within a radius of about twenty miles, with the central area being the Liu Family Manor!"
"The Liu Family Manor?" Lin Yu's expression tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Is the Liu family alright?"
Ma Jianguo quickly replied, "Young Marshal, please rest assured, the Liu family should be fine for the time being!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a subordinate rushed over to report.
"Director Ma, Old Master Liu just sent someone to report that a maid from the Liu family has been missing for three days!"
"What?!" Ma Jianguo's expression changed drastically.
"Let's go to the Liu family!"
Without saying a word, Lin Yu walked to the jeep next to him, and Feng Jiu also quickly ran to the driver's seat to start the car.
Soon, a large group of people arrived at the Liu Family Manor.
After getting out of the car, Lin Yu went into the villa to find out what was going on.
Grandpa Liu personally received him, "Oh dear, Lin Yu, I didn't expect this matter to have alarmed you too!"
"It's alright, Mr. Liu, please tell me slowly, what exactly happened?" Lin Yu quickly reassured him.
Old Master Liu glanced at the butler and gestured for him to come forward and speak.
It turns out that the missing maid in the Liu family was named Liu Erxiang, and everyone usually called her Sister Liu Er.
Liu Erjie's family was not well-off. Her son had just gotten married and owed a lot of money. Liu Erjie herself was also ill. However, in order not to burden her children, she secretly ran away to the city to work without telling her family.
The butler sighed, "This Miss Liu is getting old and can't do any physical work. The master is kind-hearted and let her stay to serve the young lady! But I never expected... she just disappeared!"
When Liu Erjie first disappeared, they thought she had secretly returned to her hometown. However, in the past two days, news of the missing person case has spread around the area, causing widespread panic. Liu Zhongyi and the housekeeper discussed it and then decided to call the police.
Lin Yu nodded and asked Liu Zhongyi, "Old Liu, is Siyun alright?"
Liu Zhongyi nodded hurriedly: "Siyun is fine. She's been able to eat since she came back that day, but she still locks herself in her room and won't let anyone in!"
Hearing this, Lin Yu felt a little relieved and said, "Then I'll go up and check on her!"
Then, Lin Yu went upstairs to Liu Siyun's room.
Knock knock!
I knocked twice.
There was no sound.
Lin Yu knocked twice more and asked, "Siyun, are you there?"
There was still no sound.
He couldn't help but frown.
"Siyun, if you don't say anything, I'm coming in!"
As Lin Yu spoke, he was about to push the door open.
"I'm fine!"
Liu Siyun's voice finally came through.
Lin Yu stopped abruptly.
He then gave a wry smile.
It seems this girl is still angry about what happened that day.
"If you feel unwell, just tell me, and I can help you take care of it!" Lin Yu said.
A cold voice came from behind the door: "No need! I'm fine, I don't need your concern!"
Lin Yu paused for a moment, shook his head helplessly, and turned to walk downstairs.
At this time.
Inside the room.
On a bed surrounded by curtains, a woman was sitting cross-legged, practicing breathing exercises.
A dark aura filled the air, and a chill ran through the air.
After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze flashing with coldness.
"Lin Yu, you brat, I didn't expect you to find me so quickly?"
Cough cough!
As she spoke, she couldn't help but clutch her chest.
Because she had just possessed Liu Siyun's body, there was some incompatibility. Furthermore, cultivating demonic arts was extremely taxing, so she had to regularly absorb human essence and blood, just like eating, otherwise her body would be depleted and unable to sustain the demonic arts, resulting in a backlash!
She knew Lin Yu's strength.
If the two meet face to face, the other will most likely see through their disguise!
That's why she didn't dare let the other person in just now.
However, the police have already traced the problem to the maid, so it's only a matter of time before they trace it back to her.
Therefore, she had to find a way to clear her name.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu went downstairs, where Ma Jianguo was taking a statement from the housekeeper, asking about Liu Erjie's situation.
With nothing else to do, Lin Yu took Feng Jiu to check out the surrounding villages for any suspicious clues.
