Chapter 296 Bad News



The reason it's so clear is mainly because the two people in the photo are grinning and sneering at the camera, as if they're afraid the photo won't be clear.

Moreover, Zhao Youliang was very familiar with the scene in the photo.

Upon closer inspection, isn't this right in front of Director Zhou's house?

Neither I nor Liao Zhiyuan went there last night, okay?!

Moreover, the person in the photo clearly looks sinister, as if possessed by a ghost.

This is something that ordinary people cannot see; only cultivators can understand it.

Seeing Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan's dumbfounded expressions, the police officer sneered repeatedly.

"You two, what do you have to say now?!"

"Tell me, why did you kill Comrade Zhou? What did he do to offend you?"

"Is it robbery or murder?!"

The police officer's words were like a muffled thunderclap in their ears, leaving Zhao Youliang and his companion dizzy and disoriented.

At this moment, Zhao Youliang had only one thought in his mind: Director Zhou is dead!

That helpful and generous older brother is dead!

Thinking about all the ways the other person had taken care of him and Sister-in-law Yingchun, and how they had even hosted a welcome dinner for him last night, Zhao Youliang's eyes turned red.

He suddenly tried to stand up from the interrogation chair, but the straps binding his body pulled him back down.

Even so, Zhao Youliang, whose demonic heart had been unleashed, struggled desperately as if he were insane.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"How could Brother Zhou be dead?! We were drinking together just yesterday!!"

Seeing this, police officer Xiao Zhao quickly held Zhao Youliang down and gently comforted him.

"Quantum, calm down! Don't do this!"

"Actually, we all believe that it wasn't you and Xiao Liao who harmed Brother Zhou, but the evidence is right in front of us. You at least need to explain yourself!"

"Only after you explain yourself clearly can we clear your name and catch the real murderer!"

Seeing that Zhao Youliang had calmed down and stopped struggling, Officer Zhao slowly released his hands.

Then he turned to the police officer who had just presided over the interrogation and said, "Sir, let me handle this."

"Actually, we all know that the murderer couldn't be Quantum and his group."

Upon hearing this, the police officer, referred to as the leader, pondered for a moment and then nodded deeply.

He then turned and left the interrogation room with another police officer who was taking notes.

With no one else around, police officer Xiao Zhao stepped forward to unlock Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan's handcuffs and poured each of them a cup of hot water.

"Quantum, Xiao Liao, what do you think about this?"

Having calmed down somewhat, Zhao Youliang did not speak directly, but instead looked meaningfully at the camera hanging diagonally.

Police officer Xiao Zhao immediately understood what he meant and spoke up.

"Don't worry, Quantum. Our colleagues turned off the cameras before you came in, so no one outside can see what we say or do."

"Like I said before, we police officers aren't stupid. We know things aren't simple, especially working in this strange little town."

"But the necessary formalities still need to be followed, and I hope you understand."

Zhao Youliang nodded deeply upon hearing this, indicating that he understood.

Then, in a heavy voice, he said, "The people in the photo are definitely not me or Xiao Liao, they're not even alive."

“Those of us who have practiced spiritual cultivation can see the yin energy on them, even if we only look at photos.”

"The problem now is why they look just like us, and I just can't figure that out."

Police officer Xiao Zhao, and even the police in the town, all knew that Zhao Youliang was a shaman, so they had no doubt about what he said.

"Quantum, do you mean it was done by something dirty again?"

"To be honest, Brother Zhou died a terrible death. His body looked like it had been gnawed on, with most of his flesh and internal organs missing."

"Even... even his head was twisted off and slammed into the window facing the street."

"Brother Zhou... he still hasn't closed his eyes in peace, he died with his eyes wide open!"

At this point, Officer Zhao's eyes were already red, and he barely managed to hold back his tears.

"Damn it, you filthy bastards, why did you have to pick on such a good person as Brother Zhou and then frame you for it!"

After hearing what the police officer Xiao Zhao said, Zhao Youliang, who had just barely managed to suppress his demonic impulses, retaliated again.

Fortunately, Chang Jie, who was protecting him, intervened in time, flicking a cigarette butt and sending the ash into Zhao Youliang's eyes.

"Don't worry, Quantum. As the master said, being anxious won't solve anything."

"The gentleman also said that every event has a deeper cause and effect, that is, a clue."

"Look back at the problem from the perspective of the result, and look for the answer in the place where the cause lies."

"Actually, the teacher taught me a lot more, but I didn't remember it."

Whether it was because cigarette ash got into his eyes or not, Zhao Youliang finally burst into tears and his emotions stabilized again.

After calming down for a moment, she spoke softly, "Egg Boy... Mr. is right."

"It's obvious that I dragged Brother Zhou into this mess; those two filthy things are after me."

"It's a clear frame-up; they want to use the police to kill me and Xiao Liao."

"What we need to do now is figure out who did it as soon as possible... Of all the evil things I know, the only ones I have a grudge against are those two puppets."

(As of now, Zhao Youliang is unaware that the female doll has been abducted.)

"However, their cultivation level is far from reaching the level of 'transformation,' especially after most of their resentment has dissipated."

"It can't harm Brother Zhou, a good official protected by his authority!"

Official authority is actually the will of the people, which is what we often call integrity.

However, the "official authority" of honest and upright officials who serve the people is even stronger than the righteousness of ordinary people.

Ordinary demons and monsters wouldn't dare to get close at all.

Zhao Youliang's words resonated with Liao Zhiyuan: "Yes, a dirty thing that can transform and has a grudge against us... I can't think of anyone."

Liao Zhiyuan suddenly stopped there: "Oh, by the way, are Brother Zhou's family members alright?"

Police officer Xiao Zhao nodded gently upon hearing this: "It's alright, don't worry."

"Luckily, my sister-in-law took the child back to her parents' house last night, otherwise... sigh!"

After discussing for a while, the three still had no clues.

Finally, Liao Zhiyuan spoke up: "Brother Zhao, Brother Quantum, in my opinion, we can only try summoning the spirit."

"If Brother Zhou's soul is still alive, then everything will naturally come to light."

"If the soul is gone... we have no other choice but to risk 'crossing the underworld'."

"Go to the underworld and find Brother Zhou to ask him in person."

The term "passing through the underworld" has different names in different regions, including "touching the frightened," "touching the blind," "exorcising ghosts," "descending the gods," "descending to the underworld," and "leaving."

It means that the soul of a living person leaves the body and travels from the world of the living to the world of the dead.

However, it is fraught with risks and is far from being something that can be done by just any ordinary Taoist priest, as depicted in movies and TV dramas.

There is great terror between life and death!
