Chapter 177 Assisting in the Investigation
Listening to Han Xin's words, Mr. Zhong's brows not only did not relax, but frowned even tighter. "Captain Han, our Yaoyao is still a child. There is nothing we can do to help you!"
"Mr. Zhong," Luo Yong said anxiously, "The only person who can help us police now is Miss Zhong Nianyao. Several people have died in this case. Only Miss Zhong—"
"Since this is such a dangerous case, we shouldn't let Yaoyao get involved." Old Master Zhong's face turned stern. "She's still a student. There's nothing she can do to help you!"
"Mr. Zhong, this case is really important!" Luo Yong was also a little anxious. "You can't harm so many people just for your own selfish reasons! If the murderer is not caught, who knows how many more people will die! How can you remain indifferent?"
"Luo Yong, shut up!" Han Xin on the side quickly spoke up to stop him.
At the same time, he also saw the gloomy faces of Mr. Zhong and Zhong Nian Yao.
Mr. Zhong didn't even glance at Luo Yong. He faced Han Xin directly. "Captain Han, let me ask you this: has my granddaughter broken the law? Are you here today to ask him to assist in the investigation, or to arrest someone?"
Although he was still unclear about what was going on, he knew that the two policemen came to his house today probably to ask his granddaughter for help.
If it were in the past, he would definitely suspect that the other party was a liar. But his granddaughter is different now, and it seems easier for her to accept such things.
However, he still didn't want his granddaughter to be involved in such things, it was too dangerous.
Furthermore, the police officer's attitude was terrible, as if his granddaughter was supposed to help them. This self-righteous attitude made him even more disgusted.
As soon as these words came out, Han Xin knew that something was wrong. He quickly said, "Mr. Zhong, it's my colleague who can't speak. He didn't mean any other harm. It's just that the nature of this case is so terrible."
After saying that, he didn't care about anything else and directly told the whole story of the case.
It turned out that several murders had occurred on Huanshan Road during this period of time.
The victims were diverse, both men and women, and of varying ages. They had nothing in common, but each was brutally murdered. It was clear they had suffered immense pain before their deaths.
The murderer was very cunning and did not leave any evidence at all. This also gave the police a headache because they had no direction for investigation.
However, a few days ago, there was a survivor. Like the previous victim, this survivor was also tortured, but he survived. However, due to a head injury, he has been in a coma for the past few days.
The police were very excited after receiving the news. With a survivor, they could get more information. Maybe the victim saw the murderer, which would make things easier.
They analyzed that the murderer failed to kill the victim this time because of some unexpected situation.
But when the victim woke up, they realized that things were not that simple. In fact, as the victim described the incident, they felt that their three perspectives had been strongly challenged.
After waking up, the victim kept shouting that there was a ghost. They originally thought that the victim was too shocked and had temporarily become mentally confused.
However, after the victim calmed down, he still insisted on his statement. They have already found a psychiatrist to help conduct an evaluation.
Although the victim's words were bizarre, his mental logic was very logical and he did not look mentally ill at all.
The survivor told the whole story, saying it was a ghost that was seeking his life. He was able to escape because a little girl had given him a talisman.
At the critical moment, a golden light suddenly appeared, and the evil spirit ran away. He also survived. However, because of his severe injuries and excessive blood loss, he fainted.
In the end, they could only accept the fact that this case was a supernatural event.
They have now reported the case and hope that someone from higher up can be sent to handle it. However, this will take time.
They were afraid that more victims would appear during this period, so they investigated the little girl mentioned by the survivor.
Later, they found out that she was the granddaughter of the wealthy Zhong family in the imperial capital. However, the most surprising thing was not her wealthy identity, but her reputation in Tongtian Bridge.
Although they didn't know whether such a young girl had any real ability, but now the situation was urgent, they could only come to her door with the idea of giving it a try.
After listening to Han Xin's narration, Zhong Nianyao understood, "Are you talking about the taxi driver?"
If you ask her if she has saved anyone she shouldn't have saved during this period of time, it can only be that enthusiastic driver.
The driver was doomed to die that night, but when she heard the driver suddenly mention the happy look of his daughter who was taking the college entrance examination, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she gave the driver a talisman.
She had no idea whether the talisman could save the driver's life. After all, everyone's fate was predetermined, and she was just a mortal, unable to defy fate. She had simply tried her best, even if it was for the sake of that girl who was still in her third year of high school.
It now appears that the driver has survived.
"Yes, it's that driver." Luo Yong said quickly, "After he woke up, he said you saved him."
Mr. Zhong pursed his lips tightly, frowned, and said nothing. Obviously, after knowing the whole story, the anger in his chest dissipated a little.
However, it was still obvious that he did not agree with Zhong Nianyao getting involved in this matter because this case was too dangerous, especially since so many people had died.
Although he now knows his granddaughter's abilities, he still doesn't want her to take such a risk.
"Ms. Zhong, we're here hoping you can assist with the investigation," Han Xin said solemnly. "Ordinary people like us really don't have much we can do about these paranormal incidents. Our superiors haven't sent anyone down yet, so we're completely helpless. Furthermore, we're worried about new victims emerging."
