When Kui Kui received Kui Ziyu's call, the first thing that came to mind was the teachings of Old Lady Wang.
To live is to act like a human being.
Be kind to others and care about the world.
Even though she had seen the coldness and warmth of the world over the past eighteen years and had put away her warm heart, she still agreed in the end.
There were no classes on Wednesday afternoon, and Kui Kui waited for him at the school gate as agreed.
A Hummer pulled up in front of her.
The car window was rolled down, and in the passenger seat was a middle-aged man wearing a gray baseball cap.
With thick eyebrows and large eyes, he exudes an air of authority without anger and looks very energetic.
The driver was a young man in his early twenties, wearing a black T-shirt.
Perhaps because of the hot weather and excessive sweating, there was a ring of grayish-white sweat stains around the collar.
With delicate features, he doesn't look like a public official at all; he looks more like a college student.
He frowned slightly and said, "Really? Captain Chen, the higher-ups only sent this little girl? What can she possibly do?"
Chen Haiguo, standing beside him, glared at him. "Did I tell you to speak? Just drive your car properly!"
As he spoke, he unbuckled his seatbelt, walked up to Kui Kui, and gave him a kind smile.
"You must be Kui Kui? My name is Chen Haiguo, you can just call me Uncle Chen."
"That kid's name is Jiang Tangzheng. He's not even fully grown yet and he just talks nonsense. Don't pay any attention to him."
Jiang Tangzheng pursed his lips, not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal.
Chen Haiguo continued, "I heard from Lao Zhou that although you are young, you are very capable!"
"I'll be relying on you from now on. If there's anything you can't handle, just come to me, or you can contact A-Zheng."
Kui Kui nodded and greeted them politely, "Uncle Chen, hello. Jiang Tangzheng, hello. Please give me your guidance."
"Hahaha! Get in the car! I don't have much to teach you, but I'd like to ask you for your guidance."
Chen Haiguo and Kui Kui sat in the back row, took out their phones, played a replay of a live stream, and explained their purpose.
In recent years, the live streaming industry has emerged.
Beauty live streams, chat live streams, singing live streams, food live streams, adventure live streams, and so on.
The case Chen Haiguo is handling is related to live-streaming adventures.
"Young people these days are really willing to risk their lives for money. They'll broadcast anything that's sensational or bizarre."
"Those who do mukbang eat, induce vomiting, vomit, and then eat again. They just go wherever there are haunted houses, and now look what happened, they've ruined themselves."
"And there are still some fearless people who, just to get attention, barge into that house. Do they think our police cordon is fake?!"
"Three people have died in just one week. This has already sparked considerable public outcry."
"We've been put under pressure from above, and we have three days to find out the truth. Whether it's man-made or supernatural, we need an explanation!"
"This is the first one to die. We investigated his studio, and it turns out that his previous live streams were all staged by the studio to create a mystical atmosphere."
"I don't know what got into this kid this time, he went alone."
Kui Kui nodded slightly, looking intently at the video on her phone. Because of the dim lighting, she couldn't see it very clearly.
The anchor was a young man who looked somewhat effeminate, with a small beauty mark under his right eye.
The camera was sometimes pointed forward, and sometimes pointed at him.
He was explaining the structure of the old house when, just as he reached the living room on the first floor, static suddenly appeared on the video feed.
At the same time, his scream was heard.
The camera seemed to have fallen to the ground and plunged into darkness.
There was no more sound or image.
Chen Haiguo then played two more videos.
"These are all replays of their live streams before they died. Viewers in the live stream noticed something was wrong and called the police."
"By the time we arrived, they were all gone. The forensic examination showed that they all suffered cardiac arrest."
“We’ve watched this video several times, and we’ve even had professionals handle the snowy part, but there’s been no progress at all.”
"We can only ask experts like you to help us take a look."
After watching the three videos, Kui Kui asked, "Uncle Chen, shall we go to the haunted house where the incident happened now?"
Jiang Tangzheng seized the opportunity to interject, "Isn't that obvious? If we don't go to the haunted house, we'll invite you for tea!"
“We’ve been to that haunted house several times before, but we haven’t found anything except for the fact that it’s a bit dilapidated.”
Kui Kui didn't mind his unfriendly tone and explained, "You deal with criminals every day, so you not only have righteousness, but also a fierce aura."
“Ordinary ghosts and spirits dare not show themselves in front of you.”
As they were talking, the Hummer had already driven up to an old house in the suburbs.
After the three got out of the car, Kui Kui handed two amulets to Chen Haiguo and Jiang Tangzheng respectively.
"Didn't you say I'm a person of integrity? I don't want this thing!"
As Jiang Tang was speaking, he was about to throw the amulet into the bushes nearby.
"The person who threw my amulet last time had their hand broken in less than a day."
Jiang Tangzheng's hand visibly paused.
He looked away somewhat guiltily, but in the end, he put the amulet into his pocket.
Chen Haiguo secretly chuckled as he watched Chen Haiguo's discomfiture.
