Chapter 44: A Past Case (1)

  This whole afternoon, Xiaoyan was restless and didn't say much more, staring blankly into her own thoughts. Xiao Lv also seemed to have lost its vitality, hiding sorrowfully in Xiaoyan's school bag. Seeing this one person and one cat both speechless, Xianqi and Yechen also felt a suffocating anxiety in their hearts, not knowing what to do.

  The sun's afterglow spilled onto the bustling streets, as if making its final dying struggle, until the moon rose high in the sky, and those faint, weak rays of light slowly disappeared under the hurried footsteps of people, night fell...

  Under the blue light, only two men and one woman were seen sitting next to the bar, one of whom had a sly smile at the corner of his mouth, gently shaking the high-footed cup in his hand, saying:

  "Let's talk about it then, what big deal happened? Everyone looks gloomy."

  "Brother! This afternoon... this afternoon, Xiang'er seemed to have seen a ghost... She said with her own mouth 'there's a dead person', but when I and Ye Chen looked over, there was clearly nothing there! Xiang'er's expression didn't seem like she made a mistake! Nor did it seem like she was lying! Could it be... could it be that Xiang'er has yin-yang eyes?"

  "Don't spout nonsense! What's with the yin-yang eyes? It's just an illusion!" Ye Chen's tightly furrowed brow scrunched up even more, as he sternly refuted.

  "Where did you see that, the so-called 'dead person'?" Xianhuan cast a disdainful glance at Xianqi and turned to ask Ye Chen.

  "In the toilet of the old teaching building." Ye Chen replied.

  "Huh? Didn't they seal off the teaching building with warning tape?" Xianhuan thought for a moment, usually abandoned old teaching buildings would have their entrances sealed off with warning tape, and continued to ask.

  "Normally, it's sealed off. But that day when we went in, the seal was gone! And the floor of the toilet was still wet and soggy, just like someone had been using it all along... but... but it's absolutely impossible for anyone to be inside!" Ye Chen fell silent for a long time before speaking up, his voice trembling.

  "Besides 'there's a dead person', didn't Xiaoyan say anything else?" Xianhuan raised his thick eyebrows and continued to ask.

  "It's gone." Ye Chen nodded in response.

  "Xiao Yan... when she said that, her hand was pointing to the water tank in the toilet. She must have seen a corpse soaked in water. Or... a ghost?" Xian Qi thought of Xiao Yan's terrified face, as if she had seen some kind of terrifying monster, and felt a chill run down her spine, making her involuntarily think of that frightening and absurd thing.

  "Alright, I'll investigate. Xianqi, stop your wild thoughts." As he spoke, Xianhuan fiercely glared at Xianqi, thinking to himself, why did Xiaoyan have multiple hallucinations in school? How did the seal on the abandoned teaching building disappear into thin air? And what did she see that made her so afraid? It's really full of suspicious points!

  "You say, will there be ghosts in this world?" Ye Chen raised his head and looked into Xianhuan's deep pupils, asking.

  "Ghosts are what people think of. Aren't you always a materialist? How can you ask such a ridiculous question." Xianhuan curled up the corner of his mouth with a slight smile, staring at Ye Chen's clenched red fingers with great interest.

  "Maybe... we were wrong. If it's not a ghost, how can this be explained..." Ye Chen said with his head down, this strange situation had also confused his mind, leaving him at a loss.

  "Alright, you go rest now. Don't think too much, I'll call you when there's a result." Xianhuan patted Yechen's shoulder to comfort him and pulled the dazed Xianqi out of the bar.

  Whether or not there are ghosts, they can't escape their own law enforcement. After so many years of struggling in the criminal investigation team, he isn't just going through the motions! Xianhuan walked with a thick smile, looks like it's going to be another overtime night.
