Chapter 8 That's a different price!



As the live stream chat was flooded with comments, Fang Ning, regaining her senses, immediately called the police.

After Zhang Tianle guessed the location of the corpse and took out the Demon-Subduing Ruler, stuck it into the ground, and it emitted golden light, no one doubted his skill anymore.

They have a more direct understanding of the situation than the viewers who watch the live stream.

The demon-subduing ruler glows and covers the entire pit, and it even fights against the dark purple gas inside the pit. This is not a special effect; it's real.

Before the police arrived at the scene, Zhang Tianle had already put away the demon-subduing ruler. When he put away the demon-subduing ruler, there was no more evil energy emanating from the pit.

When the police arrived, they, along with the forensic doctor, dug the body out of the pit.

Upon seeing the body and conducting a basic examination, the forensic doctor was immediately paralyzed with fear.

The forensic doctor began having his assistant record the body's condition: "Record: The deceased was completely naked, covered in black and purple patterns, estimated age around 25, had been dead for over 40 years, and had obvious ligature marks on the neck. The preliminary conclusion is homicide. Further information will be verified after an autopsy at the station."

Upon hearing this, the police officers present were stunned.

It is simply unscientific that a body could be dead for forty years and buried underground without decaying.

However, they quickly came to their senses and approached Chen Zixiang and his group, asking them how they had discovered the body.

Chen Zixiang and the others pointed at Zhang Tianle: "The body was discovered by Master Zhang."

They recounted how Zhang Tianle discovered the body.

The police were stunned.

A young policeman was shocked: "What? You're saying he figured it out? That's ridiculous! How could someone calculate something like that?"

“Yes! It was definitely calculated! We can all testify to that!” Master Huang and the others nodded in agreement. “Before we even started work, he said there was a body under the threshold. After we dug it out, we called the police on the spot.”

“Um… the viewers in the live stream also said they could testify.” Chen Ruixiang raised his hand and pointed to his phone as the police looked over: “And some fans even recorded the screen.”

The police officers exchanged strange glances and walked up to Zhang Tianle: "Tell me, how did you know there were bodies buried down there? What is your connection to this case?"

At this moment, they have already listed Zhang Tianle as a suspect.

"It's calculated."

Upon hearing Zhang Tianle's words, the young policeman's temper flared up immediately: "You calculated it? Who are you trying to fool? If you could calculate that, what would be the point of having us police officers? Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. You'd better tell us the truth and don't try to trick us! Speak now!"

Zhang Tianle glanced at the other police officers: "You don't believe what I calculated either?"

The other police officers smiled faintly and remained silent.

"Alright, I'll calculate your information then! Once I figure out your details, that'll be enough to prove my innocence, right?" Zhang Tianle asked with a smile, looking at the young policeman in front of him.

“Sure. But if you really figured it out, then you also need to figure out the real suspect.” The young officer sneered.

Zhang Tianle smiled and nodded: "Okay. But my fortune telling is a bit expensive, three thousand per session. No bargaining. Of course, if I'm wrong, I'll give you six thousand back."

Three thousand!

That's almost as much as his monthly salary.

He simply didn't believe that this charlatan could actually predict his fate.

So the young policeman raised his head and said, "Then you do the math!"

Zhang Tianle immediately used the Yingtian Heart Technique.

"Your name is Li Yinian. You are 25 years old. You came from a well-off family. Your father was a police officer and your mother was a businesswoman. You were considered middle class. However, because your parents were busy with work, you liked to fight when you were young."

“When you were seventeen, your father died in the line of duty. Your mother missed him terribly and became depressed. She needed medication to stay alive and had no heart to manage the business, which caused your family’s financial situation to deteriorate. Fortunately, the government provided a consolation payment, which allowed you to make a living.”

"And it was from that time that you began to settle down, study hard, and vowed to catch all the evildoers in the world and avenge your father. After that, you were admitted to the police academy. You just graduated this year and were assigned to the Yan District Branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau."

"He's pursuing the policewoman in your branch. He's already asked her out three times in private, but she's rejected him every time. She treats you like a younger brother."

The young policeman's expression shifted.

This charlatan's calculations were absolutely accurate.

After Zhang Tianle finished calculating, he looked at Li Yinian and asked, "Is there anything else you want to calculate?"

"You're barely accurate. But if someone really wants to investigate, they can find out all of this. If you're so capable, try investigating some private matters."

"Oh. You mean you were still drinking milk when you were eight and wetting the bed when you were ten? Do I have to tell you all of that?" Zhang Tianle asked with a smile.

At that moment, Li Yinian's face instantly turned bright red. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at a policewoman standing not far away. Seeing her suppressing a laugh, he wished he could shut Zhang Tianle up. So he quickly said, "Enough! I believe you, okay?"

Zhang Tianle glanced at Li Yinian's brow and activated the Yingtian Heart Sutra again: "Now that I've calculated your past, let me calculate your future. In three days, you will face a life-threatening calamity. You'd better not go on duty that day."

If we follow his fate, three days later, they will be dispatched to arrest drug users. Following the leads, they will find the drug dealers. During the arrest, Li Yinian will be killed by the drug dealers with a single blow.

The young police officer frowned; the latter part of the calculation sounded a bit like a charlatan's.

However: "That's my problem, I'll consider it as you going too far. Now you need to figure out who killed this person, and give me the evidence and their location, then I'll believe you're not a suspect!"

“That’s a different price!” Zhang Tianle smiled at the young police officer. “Since you say I’m accurate, then you should pay the divination fee now. I’ll do the second divination. I’m charging you the divination fee for your own good.”

"A greedy charlatan!" the young police officer muttered, but in the end he obediently took out his WeChat and scanned three thousand yuan for Zhang Tianle.

Zhang Tianle said with a smile, "Now, do you need me to calculate the murderer's location and gather evidence?"

Just as the young and impetuous police officer was about to agree, he was stopped by his captain, Huang Zheng, whose sharp gaze fell on Zhang Tianle.

Undeniably, Zhang Tianle is quite something, but he never believes in ghosts or gods.

These remnants of feudal superstition have been relegated to the annals of history.

Just as the atmosphere between the two was becoming tense, Fang Ning stepped forward to smooth things over: "Master Zhang, I'll pay for the divination. Let's not hurt our relationship. Besides, according to what you said, this is our brother-in-law, so we should pay for the divination as well. We also want to know who the murderer is!"

As Fang Ning spoke, she directly transferred three thousand yuan to Zhang Tianle. On her way to Beijing, she had already obtained Zhang Tianle's WeChat account.

After Fang Ning transferred the money, Zhang Tianle pointed to the corpse that had been moved out: "The evidence is in the palm of his left hand."
