As soon as Jiang Chunian finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps coming from the door.
Everyone turned around and saw a young man in a black down jacket walking towards them.
The police officer asked, "Are you the owner of this store?"
"That's right." The young man said, "I'm Pei Shang, the owner of this store. I heard something happened in the store. I wonder what happened?"
"What happened? You are a shop owner and you don't even know what happened in your shop?" the police officer said angrily.
"I'm sorry, I just heard something happened in the store and I rushed over, so I didn't have time to ask in detail."
Pei Shang smiled apologetically and glanced at the people present, especially where Tong Yao was. He paused when his eyes passed by.
"Someone almost died in your store!" the officer said coldly. "Your store has had disappearances and fatalities before. I told you to make changes and pay attention to safety. Did you not listen at all?"
"Comrade police officer, you're wronging me." Pei Shang said hurriedly, "I really had it thoroughly checked inside and out, and I reopened it only after I was sure there were no problems. Besides, you police can't solve the case, so you can't let me stay closed forever, right? My rent is high, and the cost of building it was not low. If you keep me closed, I'll go bankrupt."
"Since you know the seriousness of the matter, why do you still allow these evil creatures to commit crimes here?" the police officer said coldly.
"What evil spirit? I don't know!" Pei Shang cried out in injustice: "No, comrade police officer, you are not trying to tell me that ghosts hurt people? That's impossible. There are no ghosts in this world. You are a police officer, you can't promote feudal superstition."
The police officer was caught off guard and was speechless.
Huang Tan scolded: "Don't think you can get rid of suspicion by making excuses."
"Who are you? Which department are you from?" Pei Shang turned around and looked at Huang Tan.
Huang Tan took out his ID and said, "I'm from the Ninth Division. We suspect you're colluding with evil spirits and causing harm to people. We hope you can cooperate with our investigation."
"What's the Ninth Department? I've never heard of such a department." Pei Shang didn't even bother looking at his ID: "Don't try to fool people with fake IDs like this. By the way, police officer, I want to report him for using fake IDs."
"You——" Huang Tan was angry.
Jiang Chunian raised his hand to stop Huang Tan, then turned to look at Tong Yao: "Is he the one you're working with?"
"Yes, it's him." Tong Yao didn't care about Pei Shang's life or death at all, and confessed directly.
Pei Shang only heard Jiang Chunian's voice and turned to look at her and Lin Sixian: "Who are you?"
Jiang Chunian ignored him and said to Huang Tan, "Open his third eye."
"Yes." Huang Tan took out a bottle of cow's tears from his arms, dropped a drop on his finger, and walked towards Pei Shang.
Pei Shang stepped back repeatedly: "What are you going to do?"
"I'll open your third eye." Huang Tan sneered.
"What do you mean by opening the third eye? Are you kidding me?" Pei Shang stretched out his hand to block it: "Don't use these feudal superstitions on me. I don't believe in them."
"Since you have done nothing honestly, what are you afraid of?" Huang Tan laughed coldly.
"Of course I'm scared. You have an unknown background and you're into these feudal superstitions. I certainly can't let you do whatever you want." Pei Shang stopped Huang Tan and called out to the police officer, "Help me, comrade police officer! This guy wants to kill me."
The police officer brought people to control him: "Please cooperate with our investigation."
Huang Tan successfully wiped the cow's tears on his eyes and opened his third eye. He finally saw Tong Yao in the open space in the middle, and his face changed drastically.
Of course, he was not surprised to see a ghost, but he was surprised that Tong Yao was actually captured, and his soul was thin and he looked very weak.
Tong Yao glanced at him: "Why, don't you recognize me?"
Pei Shang reacted and pretended to be terrified: "Who are you? How did you suddenly appear here? Could it be that you are really a ghost?"
Jiang Chunian looked at him with interest: "Your acting skills are pretty good. If you enter the entertainment industry, you might win an award."
Lin Sixian found it funny. This guy was too mischievous.
Pei Shang's face turned pale, and he kept walking backwards. "There really is a ghost here. No, I have to find a master to catch the ghost!"
The police officer grabbed him and said, "Want to run? It's too late."
Pei Shang struggled: "What are you doing? I am innocent, you can't arrest people casually."
Huang Tan sneered: "You probably don't know, but Tong Yao has just confessed that you are her partner."
"Slander, this is total slander, I don't even know her." Pei Shang naturally couldn't admit it.
"Whether it is or not, we will naturally investigate." The police officer shouted.
Then he looked at Tong Yao and said, "Tong Yao, please confirm again whether Pei Shang planned the previous disappearance case and was an accomplice to the murder with you?"
"That's right." Tong Yao smiled and said, "He is my accomplice."
"No, I'm not. Where did you come from, you wandering ghost? Don't slander me. I don't even know you." Pei Shang struggled, and veins popped out on his face.
Tong Yao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Pei Shang, I'm going to die this time, and you can forget about living well either."
Pei Shang couldn't help but break down: "Hey, are you sick? What does your death have to do with me? I don't even know you! Don't spit blood and slander others at will."
"Comrade police, you have to believe me, I am innocent, I am really innocent, I don't know her at all. How could I, an atheist who believes in science, have any collusion with ghosts? And this female ghost is obviously not a good thing, how could she not kill me but cooperate with me? This is simply impossible. Comrade police, you can't believe her nonsense." Pei Shang grabbed the police officer's hand.
The police officer said, "We will investigate thoroughly. We will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we let a bad person go."
Jiang Chunian said to Tong Yao, "Tell me how you got involved with him. You were a fierce ghost at the time, right? You have a murderous nature, so why did you let him go?"
This is also what everyone is curious about.
"Because he's the same kind of person as me." Tong Yao smiled and said, "In fact, Pei Shang and I have known each other for a long time. He and I both have miserable lives. I have a love-sick mother who was driven to death by my scumbag father and his mistress early on. His mother is the same. She was originally a rich girl and married his father through an arranged marriage. Then she fell in love with his father and gave birth to him. But his father only cares about profit and has no love at all. At first, his grandfather's business was doing well, and the couple was quite loving. Later, his grandfather's business had problems and went bankrupt. His father immediately turned against his mother and divorced her. He also forced her to leave the house. Later, his mother couldn't bear the blow and committed suicide."
