Wen Li carefully withdrew her hand, lowered her head, and remained silent.
Helian Zhao hadn't expected Wen Li to be so strong; it was clear that she hadn't used much force before her clothes were torn.
But when Helian Zhao thought of how Wen Li had just broken the thick chain with her bare hands, he also fell silent.
"...I was thinking about something just now."
After a while, Helian Zhao finally spoke, then glanced at his torn sleeve: "It's broken, so be it. Don't worry, it's not your fault."
Wen Li nodded like a chick pecking at rice, looking at Helian Zhao with the appearance of a well-behaved girl.
Helian Zhao dismissed the person taking notes, then got up and took a document from the cabinet, placing it in front of Wen Li.
"What's this?"
Wen Li looked down and saw several bold black characters on the first page that read—
"Application Form for Membership in the Celestial Masters Society"
Wenli:? ? ?
Helian Zhao said, "Actually, we have a department called the Celestial Masters Association. We are specifically looking for and recruiting talents like you from all over the country. If you are willing, you can apply to join the association. When you tell fortunes or divination for others, we will not interfere."
Wenli:! ! !
Wen Li felt her brain was about to stop working, and after thinking for a long time, she asked stupidly, "What if I didn't apply to join?"
Helian Zhao: "You will be fined according to our country's laws at that time."
What else could Wen Li say?
"Shall I apply for one?"
Helian, looking at Wen Li reluctantly, couldn't help but say, "The Celestial Masters Association is no different from our workplace. Not only do we have six types of insurance and one housing fund, but we also have many welfare subsidies, and we can even catch ghosts to make money."
Helian Zhao paused, then his tone suddenly turned serious: "You must have sensed the ghostly aura in the dark room today, right?"
This time, Wen Li didn't hide anything: "It's not a feeling, it's what I saw. Huo Weiguo and Liu Ruxin have a lot of karmic burdens. Because they were afraid that Liang Lingyu would become a vengeful ghost and take revenge on them, they used a ghost-suppressing talisman, which caused Liang Lingyu's ghost to stay in the freezer for ten whole years. Today, I just broke the formation that Huo Weiguo set up in the room."
After a pause, Wen Li explained, "Liang Lingyu has become a bound spirit, but not a vengeful ghost. Even if she were a vengeful ghost, she couldn't just harm people at will, and she wouldn't affect other people."
Helian Zhao had worked with the Celestial Masters of the Celestial Masters Society, so he naturally believed Wen Li's words.
After watching Wen Li finish signing, Helian Zhao said, "I'll take you to the Celestial Masters Association next Saturday. The person in charge will tell you the specific arrangements."
Wen Li nodded.
Just then, there was a knock on Helian Zhao's office door.
At that moment, a policeman poked his head out and exclaimed excitedly, "Boss, they've confessed!"
It goes without saying who they're referring to.
Helian Zhao quickly stood up: "Have you confessed everything you need to?"
“Yes.” The policeman who had spoken earlier was furious. “I thought it would be difficult to get them to talk, but after only a short time of interrogation, Huo Weiguo and Liu Ruxin both felt that the other party would confess and were afraid that the other party would put all the blame on them, so they simply confessed everything. Now their statements match up to 80 or 90 percent, so we can basically close the case.”
This was a major case! They solved it in less than a day. Although they were happy, they were mostly angry.
How could any scumbag treat his wife like this!
Helian Zhao: "Did they explain why they killed Liang Lingyu?"
"She confessed that ten years ago, Liang Lingyu discovered that her husband was having an affair with a college student, who is now Liu Ruxin. Because Liang Lingyu couldn't have children, Liu Ruxin took advantage of her youth and acted arrogantly in front of Liang Lingyu. Liu Ruxin wanted to be a rich housewife, but Liang Lingyu was the real person in charge of the family. So she conspired with Huo Weiguo to create the illusion that Liang Lingyu had fallen while climbing a mountain, but in reality, she murdered Liang Lingyu in a secret room and dismembered her body."
The young policeman paused at this point.
"Anything else?" Helian Zhao asked again when the other party suddenly stopped talking.
"Huo Weiguo said that Liang Lingyu was conscious when they dismembered her body, and that she would haunt them even as a ghost. Huo Weiguo was afraid, so he asked a master for many ghost-suppressing talismans and drew a magic array to suppress Liang Lingyu's soul. He said that as long as the ten-year period was over, Liang Lingyu's soul would be scattered. And this year happens to be the last month of the tenth year."
Helian Zhao was somewhat surprised.
I never expected it to be such a coincidence.
If it weren't for this birthday party, the two of them could have easily disposed of the body after Liang Lingyu's soul dissipated, and the murderer would have gone unpunished. But the truth would have remained forever unknown.
The truth is needed not only by the living, but also by the dead.
Luckily, I met Wen Li.
Helian Zhao thanked her earnestly, saying, "Wen Li, we owe you a lot for this. We will finish the case quickly. If you have anything else to do, you can go ahead and do it."
Helian Zhao means the soul of Liang Lingyu.
Although he was the one in charge, he was not a member of the Xuanmen sect, so Wen Li was the one who needed to deal with the ghosts.
Moreover, as far as he knew, apart from the president of the entire Celestial Masters Association, no one else could see the vengeful ghost with their own eyes.
I'll call you next week.
Before sending her away, Helian Zhao left Wen Li's contact information, only to find that the last five digits of Wen Li's phone number were all eights.
Wen Li nodded happily.
After meeting Wen Yanchu and Huo Yinghuai, Wen Li said, "I have said everything I needed to say. Helian Zhao did not make things difficult for me and even said that I have the ability to join the Celestial Masters Association. I agreed."
Huo Yinghuai and Wen Yanchu were slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting this turn of events.
They looked at Helian Zhao, who explained, "It's a government department. It just doesn't force Wen Li to do anything except in special circumstances. Wen Li will not be restricted in whatever she does in the future, and she will also receive various welfare subsidies."
Wen Li nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, and as long as I apply to join the Celestial Masters Association, I can legally tell fortunes without going to jail or being fined. Isn't that a great deal?"
However, the two men only heard Helian Zhao say the words "special circumstances".
But now that Wen Li was determined to go in, and knowing that no amount of persuasion would work, she simply agreed.
However, Wen Li did not go straight home, since Liang Lingyu's spirit was still lingering in the secret room at the villa.
"Huo Yinghuai, your aunt's spirit is about to fade away, and I need you to prepare some things."
Huo Yinghuai nodded: "Go on."
Wen Li said a long list of things Huo Yinghuai had never heard of, but he wrote them all down.
What Wen Li needed wasn't hard to find. In less than an hour, Huo Yinghuai had his all-powerful assistant prepare everything, and then they returned to the original secret room.
There was a cordon in the secret room, and Liang Lingyu's spirit kept wandering around inside.
Even if it were a ghost, its eyes would be blind, its eyeballs drooping limply on its face. But it seemed to smell the scent of a living person, and suddenly, in a flash, a bloody face appeared right in front of Wen Li.
