Chapter Ninety-six: The Human Heart

  The little girl suddenly rushed forward and pounced on the old lady's back, scratching and clawing, shouting loudly, her face becoming more and more ferocious.

  Jin Xin shuddered and involuntarily took two steps back, then casually removed his eyes. The others also trembled as they removed their eyes. Wang Yi's throat made a few gurgling sounds, feeling extremely nauseous.

  Only Yang Yunqiu remained calm and composed, with a wave of his hand, those students put their glasses back on obediently.

  Since such an anomaly has appeared in the world, they will have to adapt sooner or later.

  After the students had calmed down, he glanced at the old lady and said, "We've already found our little girl."

  The old lady was stunned, suddenly stopped making a sound, her pupils contracted, and after a long while, she barely said: "Really... where is Nangnang? Ah, poor child has been taken away for so long, must have suffered. Quick, quick, you take me to find Nangnang."

  Yang Yunqiu shook her head: "You'd better inform your son and daughter-in-law, the police found Nangnang's body, she was really miserable, with countless old wounds all over her body, not a single inch of skin intact, and all the major organs in her body had been removed, and they were removed while she was still alive."

  As she spoke, Yang Yunqiu took out the photos of the corpse taken at that time and placed them in front of the old lady.

  The old lady's eyes dodged back and forth, never daring to look at the table.

  Wang Yi frowned and said, "The murderer is simply inhumane. Old lady, take a closer look, Nangnang's expression is terrifying, full of resentment. If she has a spirit in heaven, she will not let go of those who harmed her. How can there be so many scoundrels in the world? Can people still live at peace after doing evil things?"

  The old lady was like being pricked by a needle, fidgeting and trembling all over.

  Yang Yunqiu pushed the photo over: "You can keep it... Don't worry, justice will prevail, and with a clear conscience, Cui Cui is still just a child. According to the autopsy results, today is her seventh day after death, she will definitely come home tonight. Elderly one, you should get some rest early, perhaps Cui Cui will appear in your dreams, and at that time, the two of you will surely meet."

  Bang!

  The photo frame on the wall suddenly fell off, shattered, and the crack just happened to scratch the old lady's face. The old lady was frightened and shouted, "You, you nonsense! Are you a policeman? Be careful or I'll complain about you!"

  Yang Yunqiu innocently spread her hands: "Hey, why is the old lady reacting so big? Although we are police officers, it's precisely because we've seen a lot and know more that we understand the truth of this world. Ghosts may really exist. Every time we handle a case, we feel like there's something guiding everything in the dark. A young girl like Nangnang, the King of Hell and the ghostly envoys must have taken pity on her. On her seventh day, she was allowed to return home for a visit. Is it strange? Doesn't the old lady want to see her own granddaughter?"

  When he said this, the old lady seemed as if she was going to faint.

  The little one finally calmed down, murmuring: "Grandma, I'll be very good, don't tie me up, don't sell me, I want Mommy, I want Mommy."

  Hearing the little girl say this, Jin Xin, who had already been suspicious of the old lady, almost got so angry that he jumped up, and if it weren't for his students holding him back with all their might, something would have happened.

  Fortunately, the old lady was so nervous that she didn't notice. She stood there stupidly, as if she couldn't hear others talking, and never called Chengchun.

  Wang Yi took out his mobile phone and carefully informed the couple.

  Before long, the Cheng couple returned home. Cheng Chun was fine, just smoking at the door, but Liu Sufen had lost her soul and was almost stupid. Yang Yunqiu and others finally took the Cheng family of three to the Public Security Bureau with a forced calm.

  Facing the corpse of Nainai, Liu Sufen fainted on the spot. Cheng Chun's eyes were bloodshot, and the old lady's face was deathly pale, swaying as if she might collapse at any moment, not daring to take a step forward. Many young police officers couldn't bear it either. This case in Nan City is considered one of the most heinous crimes, with many people from top to bottom paying attention, and even offering a reward of 200,000 yuan for information leading to its solution.

  Back from the Public Security Bureau to the cram school.

  Jin Xin and they gathered together discussing non-stop.

  Wang Yi frowned: "Teacher, this case seems to be more than just child trafficking and organ theft. Otherwise, why would they put Nannan's body in such a conspicuous place on the rooftop? When the exhibition starts, security personnel will definitely check the rooftop."

  Yang Yunqiu nodded thoughtfully and suddenly narrowed her eyes: "Perhaps the person who stole and sold organs is also having a headache now."

  Wang Yi and Liu Sheng looked at each other in dismay, neither of them knowing what their teacher was thinking.

  Yang Yunqiu didn't pretend to be mysterious: "The person who transported the body wasn't an ordinary person, and they might not have had anything to do with the perpetrator. The public security bureau checked the surveillance footage because it was going to be used for an exhibition. At that time, all the cameras in the building were working properly, and there weren't any blind spots. Moreover, the door leading to the rooftop was still locked, and there weren't any signs of climbing around the area... I suspect that someone wanted to do me a favor by not letting those perpetrators burn the body, but instead stole it out and placed it in the most conspicuous location."

  This is an intuition.

  Since entering the sixth rank, Yang Yunqiu felt that he had undergone a transformation, as if before the sixth rank, he was not yet a true cultivator, still within the bounds of ordinary people, unable to feel things on a higher level. But after reaching the sixth rank, he could sense the world's laws, natural principles, and various anomalies. Sometimes, a sudden intuition would arise, this kind of mysterious and profound intuition often being correct.

  "...Don't worry about the person who stole the corpse for now, we don't need to focus on that yet. First, let's eliminate Cangcang's resentment and calm her down."

  Yang Yunqiu exhaled, "Now it's time to take action on that old lady, Liu Sheng, Gao Ming, from now on, I want you two to monitor the old lady for 24 hours. She will have a good dream tonight, and maybe there will be some movement soon."

  After losing weight, Liu Sheng, who was still fat and chubby, could only agree.

  Jin Xin and a group of students were also arranged to disguise themselves as stalkers, but Gao Ming repeatedly warned them not to get close, not to startle the target, they could only watch from afar.

  Yang Yunqiu and Wang Yi returned to the garden, soon it would be time for students to come and take classes, they also had to prepare lessons, their own affairs were important too, they couldn't delay normal life just to accumulate merit.

  Two days of time, in the blink of an eye have passed.

  At dinner time, Liu Sheng slurped down a big bowl of noodles and sighed: "That old lady indeed had a nightmare last night, but looking at her being entangled with the little girl all day, fighting non-stop, she can't sleep well even if she wants to."

  Especially that little rascal Jin Xin, who secretly let Gao Ming steal the old lady's favorite glasses and replaced the lens with his own.

  The old lady put on her glasses and sewed the buttons herself, and she could see Nangnang rushing towards her crying, scaring her to tremble with fear, thinking it was just a dream, thinking it was all an illusion, but still pricked her fingers until they were bleeding, and slightly comforted Nangnang's mood, which also counted as avenging herself a bit.

  "A woman's resilience is indeed greater than a man's, that old lady herself was somewhat superstitious and had been scared out of her wits, yet she still managed to drag herself to the Taoist temple to ask for an amulet, went to the Buddhist temple to buy various ritual objects, and could still cook meals properly for her son and daughter-in-law, but if this continues, she probably won't be able to hold on for a few more days."

  Liu Sheng finished eating and went to relieve Gao Ming on duty again.

  Yang Yunqiu saw him off, smiling and saying: "Don't worry, according to my calculations, it shouldn't be too long." An old woman's spirit can only hold out for two days at most, she will definitely reveal her true nature.

  After class, students go to self-study, and others also go about their own business.

  Yang Yunqiu read for a while, then sat down and entered meditation, her spirit leaving her body. She seemed to see a large red figure, blurry and unclear, unable to make out the face. By her ear, she also seemed to hear his voice...

  "The outcome is still undecided..."

  Yang Yunqiu's mind stirred, and he detached from his meditative state. After calming himself, he suddenly smiled, feeling that a powerful cultivator was trying to create an environment for him to accumulate great merit.

  It's as if evil energy is pervasive, creating chaos in the lower realms. Although on the surface, these are all evil deeds and not good at all, they are actually opportunities for Yang Yunqiu herself, even if they are bad for the world.

  He thought it might have something to do with Yang Jingtian, who had long since passed away, and that it was a debt he owed from a past life. If Xue Qiao and the others were to find out about it, they would definitely nag and complain: "You're Yang Yuaqiu's father, someone else's son is cheating his father, do you have to cheat your own son to death?"

  As Yang Yunqiu had expected.

  At noon, Gao Ming returned to the garden with a huff, carrying his recording equipment.

  "Teacher, that old woman is not human at all, she's even worse than an animal. An animal wouldn't harm its own offspring, but she... you hear her, what kind of things is she saying?!"

  Gao Ming directly opened the outer release.

  A hoarse voice rang out in the garden - "...... You are my son's birth, my granddaughter, I gave you life, don't say it wasn't me who killed you, even if I did kill you, you should just go die honestly, what are you still entangling me for? You cheap goods, haggling over prices, were only sold for five thousand yuan, five thousand, what's the use of that!"

  This old lady is obviously crazy.

  All the students were stunned into silence.

  Gao Ming's face didn't look good either: "At first, she didn't say such cruel words, and said a lot of good things, looking like she was remorseful. Later, I don't know what stimulation she received, but she scared Nang Nang to tears again. From her tone, it seems that she still wants to find a Taoist priest to perform a ritual, letting Nang Nang's soul fly away and never be reborn."

  A group of students burst into cheers.

  Yang Yunqiu frowned: "Alright, send the recording to Li Zifeng and let him handle it."

  That old lady's actions must have left some clues, and if Li Zifeng is willing to investigate, he will definitely find many leads, and through her, he can also find the group of people who sell human organs.

  The scars on Nangnang's body are all very neat and tidy, looking like they were made by a real doctor.

  Li Zifeng got the recording, and he was furious. He rushed out to investigate, his anger burning like fire. The forensic experts had already confirmed that Nangnang had been dissected alive without anesthesia. It was clear how inhumane those bastards were. If they didn't catch this madman, Li Zifeng would have nightmares every night.

  When the police came to arrest the old lady, Yang Yunqiu also took her students to watch. Mainly because these students were too noisy and insisted on going to see the old lady's outcome, and besides, the evil spirit on Nangnang's body should have dissipated by now.

  A group of people sat on the school bus and went in, with a group of police officers entering the gate of the community one after another. The team was led by Li Zifeng, who naturally didn't say much about Yang Yunqiu's decision.

  Cheng Jia knocked on the door, and it was opened by Cheng Chun.

  His face showed a hint of joy, and when he opened the door to see the police, he didn't feel surprised: "Officer? Why have you come again? Have you found the killer who killed my daughter?"

  Hearing the noise, Liu Sufen rushed out immediately, her face tense.

  Li Zifeng nodded, pushed open the door and entered, directly took out the arrest warrant, let the old lady sitting on the sofa, who had lost over ten kilograms in just a few days, take a look. He didn't even bother to say anything to her, it was his partner who walked over to explain the situation, then lowered his head to put handcuffs on the old lady.

  The old lady struggled violently, opening her mouth and roaring: "What do you want to do? Let me go! Let me go!"

  Cheng Chun was also shocked, and rushed over to hug his mother, saying incredulously: "Police officers, why are you arresting my mom instead of catching the killer who murdered Nang Nang?"

  Li Zifeng frowned: "Now suspecting your mother, Fang Chunlan, colluded with the criminal organization, kidnapped and sold women and children, and trafficked human organs."

  Cheng Chun was stunned, his whole body numb. His wife Liu Chunfen looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief, "What do you mean? Nangnang is... Mom sold Nangnang?"

  "This is impossible!" Cheng Chun's eyes turned red with anger, "You can't catch the murderer, don't frame my mother, Nangnang is her own granddaughter, usually I and Ah Fen are busy, the children are all taken care of by my mother, she has been taking care of them for so many years, how could she possibly sell our Nangnang?"

  Li Zifeng didn't say anything.

  Yang Yunqiu was also somewhat perplexed, and casually picked up the jade vase on the table, holding it in her hand as if deep in thought. "That's right," she said. "Not to mention a person, I even picked up two small wild cats from outside and raised them for several months, and when we moved, I couldn't bear to throw them away. Now, a good girl, your own granddaughter, how can you really be so heartless as to sell her?"

  He walked around the house, looked at the symbols on the door and walls, shook his head and sighed: "What's even more absurd is that your granddaughter has passed away. Instead of doing a good deed to help her soul ascend, giving her more offerings and sending her to reincarnate, you're messing with these sinister symbols. If I'm not mistaken, these symbols are meant to scatter the soul and spirit. If they really worked, your granddaughter wouldn't even be able to reincarnate as an animal, let alone a human being."

  Yang Yunqiu's demeanor and temperament are really easy to make people trust him.

  As soon as he said this, Cheng Chun's eyes showed a few moments of hesitation. As for Liu Su Fen, she had already clenched her fists and was staring at her mother-in-law in disbelief. She rushed over and frantically tore down all the talismans on the wall, trampling them to pieces.
