Chi Shen still looked very calm. Even Xu Jiayuan looked at him with admiration. He felt that Yuan Yiping might not be so calm even here. It seemed that he really wanted to get some clues from Bai Ran.
But they investigated the Hong Kong serial murder case from more than 20 years ago, and found that there was really nothing wrong with the God of Wealth. Except for bringing back two evil spirits that had not been saved, the whole thing was completely different from what Chi Shen said.
Xu Jiayuan thought about it with his own brain, and he understood.
Chi Shen wanted to help them, but he was not familiar enough with the whole thing, so he used the wrong method. However, he could not remind Chi Shen now. He would remind him after he got out. After all, Chi Shen's purpose was good, and he could not let his friend lose face here.
To help Chi Shen, Xu Jiayuan also shouted: "Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist, you know!"
Xu Jiayuan's shout didn't scare Bai Ran at all. Perhaps because he felt that he was already in such a state, or perhaps because he felt that he still had the confidence, Bai Ran didn't even blink. He looked at Chi Shen and continued, "Go and investigate. This matter has nothing to do with me! I wasn't even born at that time. Are you crazy? You have to accuse me of a crime that there is no crime at all?"
Looking at Bai Ran who was cursing, Xu Jiayuan felt his pupils tremble. When he saw Bai Ran before, he always looked so gentle and elegant. At first glance, he felt that he was a well-educated young man from an aristocratic family. But now Bai Ran...
He seems to look no different from those swindlers who were imprisoned before.
Chi Shen saw Bai Ran's expression, not angry or annoyed, and did not even move his eyes. His voice was calm and normal: "Then can you tell me why the victim of the serial murder case, Zheng Ming, came to me as soon as I entered the old house?"
"How should I know? Zheng Ming? Who?" Bai Ran said angrily.
Chi Shen looked at him and said, "It seems that I need to help you recall. A headless ghost dragged a huge axe. He was beheaded and died in the Hong Kong City serial murder case."
Bai Ran wanted to curse, but after Chi Shen's description, he seemed to remember something and suddenly showed a bit of fear, but he still insisted: "It has nothing to do with me. There are too many ghosts in there. A headless ghost wants to say that the case is related to me? Does that mean I killed everyone in the house?"
"There are so many ghosts?" Chi Shen looked at him straight, "You threw me into that old house just to let those ghosts eat me?"
"What else? Do you really think I want you to go back to the Bai family?" At this point, Bai Ran had nothing to hide. After all, everyone had known about this for a long time. He cursed, "I don't know what you found in there. You actually became friends with ghosts. It's fucking funny. You didn't become a ghost too? Look, you can't even laugh now. You're not really a ghost, are you?"
As soon as he said this, Xu Jiayuan looked back at Chi Shen in horror. He really felt that Chi Shen was a little different today than usual. The way he spoke, the way he walked, and even the way he looked at people, it seemed reasonable to say that he was possessed by a ghost.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the statues of the Three Pure Ones hanging next to him, and the yellow talisman papers pasted all over the room. Both the talisman papers and the statues of the Three Pure Ones looked normal, and they were quietly pasted on the wall, indicating that things were very busy in here, and no dangerous creatures had followed Chi Shen in.
This is a room carefully decorated by their Special Security Bureau to prevent any dirty things from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. He still has great confidence in this room.
Chi Shen's expression did not change at all because of what he said. He did not even refute it. He just said calmly and indifferently: "There are so many ghosts imprisoned in the Bai family's old house. Are they kept in the old house just to imprison people like me?"
Bai Ran almost laughed out of anger: "You think too highly of yourself. Do you deserve it? We caught so many ghosts and put them in the old house and locked them up. Do you think it's easy? That's--"
His voice suddenly stopped, and the mocking expression on his face disappeared, replaced by his eyes that slowly opened in a daze.
Xu Jiayuan also turned around and looked at Chi Shen in surprise. He originally thought that Chi Shen just came to see the fake young master who replaced him, but he didn't expect him to do it for real. If they spread this word, they could find a chance to investigate the Bai family, and the higher-ups would definitely take it seriously.
Raising a ghost is a taboo for the entire family that roams between the Yin and Yang worlds. No family will allow such a thing to happen. After all, if a fierce ghost is really raised and it gets out of control, then everyone will suffer, including those who learn the art of exorcising ghosts and ordinary people who know nothing and live a normal life. No one will be spared.
Even after such an important clue was revealed, Chi Shen still showed no expression. He spoke calmly as if he was asking a question: "It is true that for some reasons, the Bai family has not exorcised the evil spirits for a long time. Instead, they have locked them up, waiting to be used for something."
However, Xu Jiayuan felt a sense of oppression from these words. Although his voice and expression when he asked the question were almost indifferent, there was a sense of oppression as if all lives were regarded as ants, as if he came to ask not for justice for himself, nor for justice, he just wanted to understand the situation, just like a god understands the way of life of mortals.
Bai Ran was sweating profusely, and he immediately interrupted, "No, it's not."
Chi Shen looked at him and said, "There are indeed many ghosts in the old house."
Bai Ran shook his head: "They want to suppress Bai Wan, yes, to suppress Bai Wan!"
Chi Shen said: "Bai Wan doesn't need so many ghosts. In fact, when I saw Bai Wan, there was only one ghost guarding the door, so Bai Wan couldn't come out of the side yard. So why did the Bai family imprison so many ghosts?"
Bai Ran looked at Chi Shen.
Chi Shen also looked at Bai Ran.
The difference is that Bai Ran's eyes are panicked and full of fear, while Chi Shen's eyes are calm and indifferent.
They stared at each other for three seconds.
Bai Ran suddenly closed his eyes, sat down dejectedly, and covered his mouth with his hands.
"Bai Ran, please cooperate with us and answer our questions." Seeing that Bai Ran seemed to be about to shut up, Xu Jiayuan stood up. He had finally gotten some clues. He couldn't let Bai Ran play dead! He had to get more out of him.
Bai Ran still had his eyes closed and his hands covering his mouth, as if he was asleep, and he didn't say a word.
Chi Shen also stood up from his chair. He said calmly, "It seems that you really have nothing to do with the Hong Kong City serial murder case. I found the wrong person. Then, the haunted house exploration next month can proceed as normal."
Hearing this, Bai Ran suddenly opened his eyes: "You——"
After saying just one word, he immediately shut his mouth and just glared at Chi Shen hatefully, as if he wanted to glare a hole in him.
"One last question." Chi Shen looked at the time and said, "Do you know your sentence?"
Bai Ran still stared at Chi Shen without saying a word.
"I heard that people like you will be sentenced to heavier sentences." Chi Shen said calmly, "I hope you can survive."
Bai Ran looked like he wanted to curse again, his eyes turned red and veins popped out on his forehead, but he still held his mouth tightly and held it in.
"My visit is over." Chi Shen said politely to Xu Jiayuan.
"Right...ah?" Xu Jiayuan stared at Chi Shen blankly, "Is this the end? You don't want to ask anymore?"
Chi Shen said: "I am here to visit the prison, not to help investigate the case."
"Oh...that's right." Xu Jiayuan pinched his face before he realized that Chi Shen came to visit him in prison and had nothing to do with the case. Why did he subconsciously feel that Chi Shen was interrogating the prisoner?
He actually put his responsibilities on Chi Shen. This is not right. He is the policeman and ordinary people like Chi Shen should not be allowed to take on the task of interrogation.
"Well, I'm sorry, but your question is quite interesting. Have you ever thought about taking the civil service exam?" Xu Jiayuan asked tentatively. Since the interrogation work cannot be handed over to ordinary people like Chi Shen, then why not make Chi Shen their man? There will be no problem at all. Xu Jiayuan feels that his idea is right. This is to discover talents for the Special Security Bureau. Besides, Chi Shen had said before that he wanted to take the civil service exam, but he had no money at that time. He had taken money from the Bai family before, so now he has money, so can't he prepare for the civil service exam?
"I can't pass the political review." Chi Shen said calmly.
Xu Jiayuan was stunned. He just thought of this and stammered, "That's really... such a pity. Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this."
The political review of civil servants in the Court Security Bureau is extremely strict.
As they were talking, Bai Ran, under the guidance of the police, was being prepared to be re-detained.
At this time, Bai Ran suddenly looked up, stared at Chi Shen with vicious eyes, and said grimly: "Chi Shen, you will die a miserable death one day."
The police immediately held him down and shouted, "Behave yourself!"
Bai Ran burst into laughter: "You will die a miserable death!"
Xu Jiayuan glanced at Chi Shen and was about to say a few words of comfort, but suddenly he saw Chi Shen's expression changed slightly. His originally calm brows suddenly seemed to come alive, slightly curved, revealing a bright smile.
Xu Jiayuan subconsciously took a look at the talismans and various safety devices in the room.
It was still the same, those things were just placed there quietly, or just stayed on the wall quietly, without any reaction, even the wind when the door opened did not blow up the talisman paper.
"Goodbye," Chi Shen's lips curved slightly, with a bright smile, "my brother."
The door closed in front of Chi Shen.
Xu Jiayuan felt that the amount of information today was a bit too much and he needed to digest it. After digesting it for a long time, he wanted to go back and ask Chi Shen what he thought, but suddenly he saw that Chi Shen was gone. He blinked blankly and was soon called away by Yuan Yiping. He went to ask Chi Shen what was going on with his visit to the prison and how he could create another case?
Chi Shen was already on his way back. He smiled and said, "I think I woke up too early?"
Ji Xingchen pushed his glasses aside and said, "It's just the right time."
Chi Shen's smile became even more beautiful.
He didn't ask Ji Xingchen what he wanted to do, but went home and prepared his own things.
At the weekend, the cosmetics he bought arrived, so Chi Shen printed out Sheng Yulan's face and asked Bai Wan to learn how to put on makeup. However, Bai Wan's artistic level seemed not to be very good, and her results were not ideal after several attempts.
Chi Shen just asked her to take it slow.
