Back in the city, my phone had a signal, and I casually took it out.
However, he discovered dozens of missed calls from Zhang Qiang on his phone.
"Holy crap, what's going on? Why are they calling me so many times?"
I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Luo Tianhe and Li Huai both noticed and looked puzzled.
I ignored them and called Zhang Qiang first.
The phone rang for only a short time before Zhang Qiang answered almost instantly.
"Chen Yan, where have you been these past few days? I can't get through to you on the phone."
I briefly told him what had happened in the past few days, and he immediately fell silent.
After a long while, his voice came through the phone again:
"You mean, Chen Hua, our city's famous entrepreneur, is dead too? Damn, we're probably going to be in for a lot of trouble for a while now!"
Zhang Qiang sounded somewhat depressed.
After all, the deaths of these big businessmen left the local police with a lot of mess to clean up.
They had just finished dealing with Bai Linfeng's matter when Chen Hua appeared.
"Tell me about your situation. Why have you called me so many times these past two days?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang immediately said in an urgent voice:
"Something very strange has happened, and now the whole city is in a state of panic."
“Our people have been investigating for two or three days, but we still have no clues. Now all the major news platforms are criticizing our police for being incompetent.”
"What exactly happened? Is it related to ghosts?"
I asked instinctively, "If he were just an ordinary criminal, he wouldn't have asked me for help."
"Hey! I'm not 100% sure, but I feel it's pretty close. You'll understand once I tell you."
Soon, Zhang Qiang on the other end of the phone began to recount the events in detail.
"A car accident happened a few days ago in the early morning."
"The perpetrator was a truck driver. He was driving his truck, and whether it was due to fatigue or some other reason, he ran over and killed a female college student who was crossing the road!"
"This should have been a simple traffic accident, so why did it become such a big deal?"
Li Huai, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but interject.
He heard our entire conversation, and Zhang Qiang recognized Li Huai's voice. He said on the other end of the phone:
"Hehe, listen to me. If it were just a simple traffic accident, of course it wouldn't have caused such a big fuss."
"At first I didn't take it seriously, I just thought it was a normal traffic accident. It's a pity that this young female college student died in a traffic accident."
"But when the ambulance arrived, the scene was horrific. The girl's body was crushed and mangled beyond recognition. After all, it was a heavy truck. Her neck was broken, and her head was gone!"
"The paramedics in the ambulance didn't think much of it at the time, assuming it had just been hit and thrown into some unknown corner."
"After searching for a long time without success, they called our colleagues in the bureau to search for it. Our colleagues in the bureau searched for a long time but couldn't find it either."
"We checked the surveillance footage and did all that, and found the girl's head; it was as if she had vanished into thin air!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianhe, Li Huai, and I were stunned. How could someone have lost their head?
Suddenly I shuddered, a terrifying possibility dawning on me:
"Could that female college student's head have been snatched away by a stray dog or something? If those beasts smell blood and are extremely hungry, it's not impossible for them to eat it!"
“Our people naturally suspected this possibility. However, the incident occurred in the early morning. When our people arrived, they immediately cordoned off the scene, and no one or any animals had entered. We checked the surveillance footage and found no stray dogs or cats in the vicinity.”
Zhang Qiang's voice sounded somewhat helpless.
“You have no idea how much trouble that parent caused. They hung banners in front of the police station every few days. I really did,”
My lips twitched, and I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Zhang Qiang.
However, if you put yourself in their shoes, if your loved one were unfortunately in a car accident, but afterwards even their remains couldn't be found, you would definitely resent the police's incompetence and thus engage in extreme behavior.
"Could it be that the truck crushed her head?"
As Luo Tianhe drove, he couldn't help but speculate.
"The human skull is one of the hardest bones in the body. Moreover, it is rare for the head to be crushed in a car accident, since people instinctively protect their heads."
"That's also impossible. We searched the scene and didn't find any bones that resemble a skull! Even though her neck was crushed into mincemeat, we still managed to find it."
Zhang Qiang maintained a helpless tone, and finally spoke, revealing his true purpose in seeking my help:
"We're really out of ideas, so we wanted to ask you to come and see if we could try some kind of soul-summoning method to ask her if she knows where her head is?"
These words sounded somewhat chilling, but they were the only solution Zhang Qiang could think of.
Zhang Qiang has helped us a lot without ever asking for anything in return. Now that he's making a request of us, I naturally won't refuse.
"Okay, I'm free now. I can come to the police station to find you. Are you at the forensic center from last time?"
I glanced at the time; it was a little past nine o'clock at night. Logically, they should have already closed for the day.
"Okay, I'll head over now. I have access control there, so I can go at night too."
Zhang Qiang sounded quite urgent, and I suddenly remembered something, so I reminded him over the phone:
"By the way, if we want to summon a ghost, we need someone to be responsible for letting the ghost possess him. Li Huai is definitely not suitable, since he is a man and female ghosts won't easily possess him. It would be best to find a woman, the kind with a strong yin energy."
Immediately, Zhang Qiang on the other end of the phone was at a loss.
How could a policeman like him possibly know that kind of person?
It was an absolute surprise that they met us.
For a time, the situation reached a stalemate.
Although I know some connections, it's late at night, and it's such a strange thing, so people might not be willing to come.
"Forget it, there's no rush. You guys try to find it for me first, and then contact me when you find it."
"Oh, I'll ask around for you. They should contact you soon."
Hearing my assurance, Zhang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.
After hanging up the phone, I turned on my phone and started looking at the city's trending topics.
The first thing that catches the eye is a banner:
"The police are incompetent. Give me back my daughter's head."
My lips twitched.
Your daughter's head wasn't stolen by the police, so is it really necessary to hang up this kind of banner?
That's far too extreme!
