Chapter 9: The Appearance of Hong Mang

  I called Jiang's matchmaker and she confirmed a matter that I had suspected in my heart for some time.

  Two years ago, Liu Yi was indeed pregnant, a very ordinary phenomenon, a female college student got pregnant, scolded by her family and discriminated against by her classmates. What's different is that she didn't want to have an abortion, but chose to give birth resolutely, and as a result, she was expelled from school and rejected by her family.

  Then she came alone to Longxi Ancient Town, as the villagers around suspected, found an honest Wang Cheng to marry and gave birth to the child.

  Hanging up the phone, my first reaction was that Wang Cheng and Xu's wife had absconded in fear of punishment.

  Even if they were not the murderers, they must have been deeply involved.

  That child, the baby, must be the breakthrough in the whole case!

  However, now whether it is Wang Cheng, Xu's wife, the child, or even the deceased Sun Deshun, I am unable to take care of them immediately. Just now, I called two good friends Wang Dali and Cao Gan, but neither call went through, I'm worried that something has happened to them!

  The scene of the crime was in the south, but I had to head north. Subconsciously thinking that if Wang Cheng and Xu Bao were the culprits, they would definitely not be able to escape the capture of the heavy case team as lone orphans and widows. Having found an excuse, I immediately took action.

  "Where are you going? Don't go, whatever happens, don't leave the old town." Jiang Yi pulled my hand, panting heavily, her body was too weak.

  "Are you all right?" I felt that she was weak and couldn't withstand the wind, so I pitied her: "Jiang Yu, let me send you back first, then I must go take a look at the 'Luàn' tomb."

  "No, you've sat on the master's chair, going out of the ancient town will be fatal. Besides, it's midnight, how can you walk with a limp?" Jiang Yi covered her chest, looking anxious.

  The ankle really hurts and can't even land, what's good about this?

  "Hey, bad guy, you're here?" Suddenly, an unexpected person appeared. The newcomer was actually Zhang Mian, who I had locked up!

  "How did you get out?" My heart tightened, she was the suspect detained by our serious crime squad 4, but now, among the five of us, three were lying in the hospital, and only Cheng Long was guarding at the hospital. That special soldier would only execute tasks and wouldn't take the initiative to do things, let alone release Zhang Meng. The rest of the serious crime squad didn't have the authority, and higher-level leaders had to sign off, with procedures that would take who knows how many days...

  "Do you believe I've traveled through time?" Zhang Meng blinked her big, innocent eyes.

  After a moment, probably because my expression was too comical, the 'girl' burst into laughter: "Hahaha~ I'm teasing you, cheer up! Even if you were to become an armchair, now that you've met me, this little fox spirit, you won't die in this ancient town."

  "What!" Jiang Yi stared with wide beautiful eyes and said urgently: "Really won't die? Little sister, do you have a way to lift the curse?"

  "Of course, but it depends on this girl's mood~"

  At this juncture, I didn't make any statement because at that moment, I was thoroughly shocked by Zhang Mian's unbridled laughter. Originally, I thought she was an abandoned orphan with a 'dark' and 'weak' personality, but in reality, her laughter is the most sunny, carefree, and uninhibited I've ever seen or heard in my life. Such unrestrained laughter, I couldn't associate it with a delicate young girl, it made me see the light!

  Before long, Zhang Miao, Jiang Yu and I were sitting in an off-road vehicle that was almost as armored as a tank, driving towards the north gate of the ancient town.

  I was astonished, Jiang Yi, that high-ranking 'female' cadre, actually believed in it so deeply, she thought that once you sat on the throne, you would definitely die, and as a result, she hadn't left the ancient town for two years.

  She believed what Zhang Meng said and wanted to come out and lift the curse, but she was also afraid and didn't dare take the first step. My existence and the suffering of these two years made her determined to try.

  I don't believe in the nonsense those two women were talking about, but we're headed in the same direction, to the chaotic burial grounds on the north side of Qinggouzi. My foot is also sprained, so I might as well travel with them.

  "See, nothing happened after we left the ancient town. As long as I'm with Little Fox Spirit, you'll all be safe, right, beautiful?" Zhang Momo chattered excitedly, saying that the closer they got to a place with dense spiritual energy, the more thrilled she became.

  "I hope heaven will bless us and we'll be safe all the way." Jiang Yi drove with a terrified gaze, her beautiful eyes darting around.

  "Hmph! A hint of disdain appeared in my nostrils, and Zhang Mei immediately turned back, her big eyes slanting: 'Bad guy, this is to help you two lift the curse, you don't even thank me, yet you dare not believe me!'"

  "You'd better be honest, how did you manage to escape from prison?" Her appearance was ordinary in other people's eyes, but in my heart, it was a big mystery.

  "I can fly in the sky and escape to the ground, how is it that even a great skill like this is against the law?" Zhang Meng's purely provocative shout, she must be holding a grudge because I didn't let her upload.

  This uncontrollable feeling made me very uneasy, sitting alone in the back seat of the car, I gave Cheng Long a call.

  "Chuan Jie, I'm on the scene, how come I didn't see you?"

  "What scene are you at, aren't you supposed to be protecting Lin Ruoyin?" As soon as I made the call, apart from the special forces' voices, there were also chaotic and noisy sounds coming from the other end, and the signal was very poor.

  "There's... protection, I'll help you... footprints..." Aw, the phone call is really unclear.

  Hanging up the phone, I was a little relieved in my heart. This Cheng Long might have discovered his conscience like me, broke his own rules and came to help. Then the appearance of this Little Zhang also had a reasonable explanation.

  Of course, all of this is just a possibility and I won't take it for granted.

  I took a firm stance, taking Jiang Wu's pistol away from him. It's better for me to have control over the armed forces. I glanced at Zhang Mian with a slanted eye, humph! You little brat, what are you looking at? Now you're speechless, aren't you?

  "That's... me..." Zhang Meng's big eyes were full of expectation.

  "Want to see what a real gun looks like? Stop dreaming." I turned around, grabbed a "cow's milk" bread and filled my stomach first.

  "I'm also hungry, I really want to eat bread~"

  "Hmph! Cough cough!"

  For such a formidable suspect, I had no way out and was robbed of half of my food by her.

  The off-road vehicle arrived at the "Luangang" around 10 pm, facing a row of swaying willows in front. Jiang Yi was nervous: "Shouldn't we go back and come again when it's daylight?"

  "It won't work once it's daylight, besides, it's just a messy graveyard, what's there to be afraid of, right, big policeman?" Zhang Mian said while eating and glanced at me with his eyes, hinting that I should go down first.

  "Of course, there's nothing to be afraid of, oh dear~ It's just that my feet are killing me and I can't walk anymore." I was searching for the silhouettes of two friends with a worried mind, thinking that it didn't look very convincing. The two girls naturally thought I was looking around nervously because I was scared, suspecting that I was a coward.

  "Let's go, the police are useless. Beautiful woman, let's go." Zhang Meng finished the last half box of milk, jumped off the car, pulled down the panicked Jiang Yi and walked towards the chaotic burial mound.

  Being despised by women is an insult I absolutely cannot tolerate, however, I wanted to get off the bus and save face, but my legs were not cooperating, my ankle was in severe pain, and I really couldn't walk.

  This little difficulty can't be used as an excuse for me to not take revenge, I jumped into the main driver's seat, hmm ~ this big off-road vehicle is really handsome, the seats are like imperial dragon chairs, everything is available, I 'touched' a flashlight and suddenly turned off the car lights, making the original dark night unable to see five fingers.

  "Ah~yah~" The two 'girls' were startled and ran back holding hands, shouting hysterically at me!

  "You're a bad guy, what are you trying to do? You're intentionally causing trouble. You're afraid to come down yourself, but you want to scare us!"

  "Ren Chuanjie, stop messing around! This 'chaotic' tomb is so dark and cold, it's really scary. Heaven, let's go home!"

  "Go home?" I opened half of the car window, and in the dark, coldly smiled: "We're going back to which home? Isn't this our home?"

  It was probably a dark and windy night, with gusts of 'yin' wind, the willow trees dancing wildly, creating an eerie atmosphere that was too coordinated. The two girls were also scared, they held each other's hands tightly, their big eyes staring at me nervously.

  I'm very satisfied with this effect, in the last level of 'Yin' smile, I stuck my head out of the car window, and suddenly turned on the flashlight, shining a strong light from under my chin upwards: "Don't you understand yet? I... am home!"

  "Ah!!!~~~~~" At that moment, the two 'girls' were so scared that they let out a loud shriek, their legs went soft and weak, and they frantically rolled and crawled backward, it's no exaggeration to say that they peed their pants.

  Uh... did I overdo it?

  No, I developed a protective instinct like that of a beast during my time at the police academy. At this moment, I've caught wind of something dangerous!

  Almost subconsciously, I quickly withdrew my head, the speed comparable to a turtle retracting its head. Just as nothing had reacted in my mind, a "fluffy" bright red arm appeared before my eyes, like the scythe of death, instantly sweeping past where my head had just been!

  At that moment, I was almost abnormally calm, didn't retreat, but instead raised my hand to press the remote control window down. For a lifetime, I will never forget my most brilliant move!

  If I'm a little slower, I'll be killed by that sudden appearance of a bright red giant monster outside the car window!

  "Hooo~~~"

  Good heavens, what is that thing? I held the flashlight in my left hand with a firm grip and rested the gun on my left arm with my right hand, assuming the standard night-shooting stance. But when I actually saw the monster, I forgot to shoot, fortunately.

  Only under the strong light of the flashlight, outside the car window, a two-meter-high giant covered in hair, drinking blood, was it clear what that thing was. It was incredibly sturdy, comparable to King Kong in the movies. The existence of this huge monster was simply crazy, it kept crashing into the off-road vehicle, trying to smash open the door and kill me!

  Yes, in its crimson-colored bloodthirsty eyes, it was filled with murderous intentions!

  Knock knock knock! Boom boom!

  Its power was boundless, and the off-road vehicle shook violently from side to side. The strong murderous aura at that time stunned me, and this unknown creature also made me fall into a state of panic for a while.

  The crash inside the car was deafening, giving me a sense of desperation like walking on thin ice, like falling into an icy abyss.

  However, as time passed, about two minutes, I burst out laughing. This off-road vehicle is too powerful, bulletproof glass aside, its whole body is like steel armor, indestructible. No wonder it's the ride of the provincial governor's daughter, this thing is too awesome, too cool!

  "Damn it, do you think our homicide team is easy to bully? I'll 'take care' of you!" I shifted the off-road vehicle into neutral gear, one foot on the brake and the accelerator just right, start - crash into it!

  Rumble, rumble~~~ I don't even know how many horsepower this car has, it's too powerful! I'm used to driving domestic small cars and feel a bit uncomfortable. The off-road vehicle is like a madman rushing forward, reversing, and colliding head-on with the red-haired 'beast'!

  Humph! Of course, it's no match for me. A head-on collision sent it flying, and then I chased after it, trampling it, bumping it, bullying it - knocking it dead!

  As I was driving "the big monster" and went on a crazy killing spree, the car lights shone far and near, changing constantly. A scene not far away made me completely calm down.

  Trouble! The two girls are still outside!

  And around them were about four or five red, long-haired monsters of varying sizes. At this moment, those fast-moving terrifying beasts surrounded Zhang Momo and Jiang Yi, who were crying in fear!
