Zhang Qiang stepped forward, covered the neck with the white sheet again, concealing the somewhat terrifying neck, and then said solemnly:
"The information obtained from the summoning was too confusing and didn't help us solve the problem at all. We still can't find Zhang Wei's head."
He seemed somewhat dejected as he spoke.
I thought it would be resolved smoothly, but I didn't expect this result.
But there was really no other way. All the experts he knew had already made their move, and he also had a powerful outside helper, Granny Wang.
I frowned:
"Actually, there are some clues. For example, that shadow. What exactly is it? I guess it's some kind of vengeful spirit. If we find it, we might be able to uncover the truth and find Zhang Wei's head."
"Then I'll take my leave now. Xiaoyun's soul has been shaken, and I need to take her back to recuperate for a few days."
"I'll try to avoid these dark and evil things for a while, so I won't be helping you anymore."
I nodded. Granny Wang was only responsible for providing a candidate for the soul-summoning ceremony, and she even personally presided over the ceremony. She had already done more than enough, so I naturally had no reason to keep her here any longer.
“Alright, Granny Wang, I’ll see you off.”
I carried Xiaoyun on my back and led Granny Wang outside.
When I arrived at the door, I took out a small package containing Wang Po's reward.
I handed her the money and said, "Wang Po, would you like to count it and see if anything is missing?"
Granny Wang took the money, her face beaming like a blooming chrysanthemum. She seemed to trust me quite a bit, waving her hand and saying, "It's not necessary at all."
I didn't pay much attention, but Granny Wang seemed a bit greedy. After all, people die for money, and birds die for food. If there's not enough profit, who's going to come along and play house with you? That's no fun.
Putting everything else aside, Xiaoyun's physical injuries this time have also affected her soul, and she will likely be haunted by them for a long time. Moreover, her lifespan has probably been shortened by several years.
To be honest, I feel that 100,000 yuan is a bit too little.
I helped Grandma Wang hail a taxi outside the police station, then helped put Xiaoyun into the car. I waved goodbye to Grandma Wang.
Back at the police station, both Luo Tianhe and Zhang Qiang had extremely solemn expressions.
Upon seeing me arrive, Luo Tianhe tapped the table and began to speak.
“Chen Yan, did you notice that she mentioned before that she has been being targeted ever since she met that guy in the library?”
I nodded. That guy hadn't given me much useful information at all, and I naturally remembered that.
I just don't know why Luo Tianhe would suddenly bring this up at this time?
He then continued.
"Perhaps I know why this female ghost is so persistent in finding you."
"Why?"
I asked instinctively.
I'm also very curious. So many people know about this, so why did she have to come to me?
"Wait a minute, I have something to ask Officer Zhang. Officer Zhang, have you investigated the deceased's communication records?"
I was a little annoyed by what he said. This kid was trying to play riddles with me. How annoying!
Zhang Qiang was taken aback at first, then shook his head:
"We classified this case as a regular traffic accident before, so we wouldn't bother investigating the deceased's phone records. If his head hadn't been missing, we probably would have closed the case already. After all, the driver didn't violate any traffic regulations, so we could only offer some compensation out of humanitarian considerations. He had insurance, so he probably wouldn't even have to pay out of his own pocket."
Zhang Qiang was right. If the woman's head hadn't been missing, anyone would have thought it was just an ordinary traffic accident, and it wouldn't have anything to do with murder.
After all, the driver and Zhang Wei had absolutely no connection, no personal interaction between them, and it was impossible for the driver to have killed her for any purpose, such as revenge.
"Alright, officer, go check his call records; you might find something."
Luo Tianhe said meaningfully.
Zhang Qiang was completely baffled, but he didn't think this guy would lie to him for no reason, so he went to find someone to investigate.
Seeing that Zhang Qiang had also left, I asked in an annoyed tone,
"What are you trying to tell me, kid?"
Luo Tianhe gave a wry smile, and instead of answering directly, he asked a question in return.
"Did the female ghost attack you directly, and say that she had finally found you?"
"That's right, that's why I'm a little confused. I have no grudge against her, so why would she specifically target me?"
"It shouldn't be considered that there's no enmity between them. If my guess is correct, there's a loose connection. This guy is looking for you to get revenge."
"What revenge are you talking about? I have lived an upright life and have never harmed anyone."
I said firmly that I could not have done such a shameful thing without even knowing it.
"Hehe, I already said it was a barely passable connection. I don't think it's your fault, it's just that she's a bit stubborn."
Luo Tianhe continues to play the role of the riddle teller.
My face contorted in anger; I felt an urge to go up and beat him up.
Damn it, I just hate that my fists aren't as big as Luo Tianhe's.
Otherwise, I would definitely give him a good beating!
This guy is a gang leader, and his fighting skills are no joke. If I dared to fight him, he could probably take me down in no time.
A short while later, Zhang Qiang returned with a strange expression, indicating that he had discovered something.
"Speak your mind, or shut up. You're not going to play the riddle-maker too, are you?"
I said irritably.
Zhang Qiang found my rude attitude a bit strange, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
"We actually found some things in the call logs. She called you, but you didn't answer."
Did you call me?
I was immediately speechless, and my mind started racing.
I racked my brains trying to recall everything, and after a long time, I was certain that I had no connection with her and had never seen her before!
So why did she call me?
And why didn't I answer?!
After hearing Zhang Qiang's words, Luo Tianhe revealed an expression of "I knew it!" He looked at me, who was deep in thought, and spread his hands, saying:
"Don't overthink it. It's actually very simple. She called you because you have another identity: the owner of Yanhehuai Funeral Home!"
Hearing him say that, I immediately connected all the dots.
Actually, I should have realized it sooner. The reason he called me was probably because he had seen our advertisement and wanted to ask for help.
The call didn't go through, so she was unable to get help.
She was later killed by a ghost, and she stubbornly believed that if I hadn't failed to help her, she might not have died.
So from a certain perspective, she was indeed killed by me, and she had a reason to seek revenge against me.
