Ancient Tomb Curse Eight

  Everyone's eyes were on Director Li.

  "He stood beside Wang Shengli's corpse." Li Suo's face turned somewhat pale.

  A chill ran through the air.

  "It seems like it was a ghost who killed him?"

  "Now that it's been said, all the cases can be explained. Wang Li died in the washing machine, Wang Shengli drowned in the bathtub. Yu Xiaolan was supposed to return home but her body ended up in the pond, and Li Huan became a mummy." Shen Zhiyuan analyzed.

  "All the cases that can't find the murderer can be explained by the supernatural." Xue Pinhan was somewhat disdainful: "Just like when you lose a dollar and can't find it, you can also say that a ghost took it away."

  "It's not hard to figure out if it's a supernatural event." Su Yingzhen interjected, "You see, Wang Li died, and her husband Sun Lei started suspecting ghosts and gods. Yu Xiaolan drowned to death, and Wang Shengli also drowned in the bathtub. Wait, both of them died from drowning. So, if this is really a supernatural event, is it possible that Sun Lei will die in a similar way to Wang Li?" Su Yingzhen suddenly had an epiphany.

  Xue Pinhan was about to speak when the phone rang, it was a call from the municipal hospital. They said that a patient named Sun Yue had somehow sneaked into the hospital's freezer and froze to death inside.

  Xue Pinhan's hair stood on end as he looked at Su Yingzhen with a complex gaze: "How did you make such an inference?"

  "Am I right?" Su Ying asked excitedly: "Did he also die in some household appliance? Was it a refrigerator?"

  "No, it's the icebox."

  "Wow! Beautiful girl, you're amazing!" Dong Yi Qi exclaimed in surprise.

  "How did you know?!" Xue Pinhan raised his voice, his cold gaze piercing through her.

  "I... I inferred it from the death of Wang Shengli and his wife. Ghosts killing people are all regular." Su Yingzhen himself was also somewhat puzzled, why did he seem to be able to predict it?

  "If it's really like what Xiao Su said, this is a case of ghost killing, and it's regular. If the wife dies, the husband will definitely die too. Now two couples have already died. Will this strange event end soon?" Old Yang asked.

  "I won't." As soon as Su Yingzhen said these two words, she herself was startled, but the idea had already appeared in her mind and it wasn't comfortable not to say it out loud: "A ghost killing people can't possibly stop on its own, unless a way to break the curse is found."

  Director Li, who was sitting next to him, shuddered slightly.

  "Beauty, were you a Taoist priest who caught ghosts in your previous life, or was there someone at home who jumped into the gods? How come you're so familiar with paranormal events?" Dong Yi's words resonated with everyone, and they all stared at Su Yingzhen, making her inexplicably nervous.

  I'm not sure either, anyway in ghost movies they're all like that, if those vengeful spirits aren't appeased they won't let up.

  。”

  "Have you found a way to resolve it?" Shen Zhiyuan asked excitedly.

  "No. But let's try to analyze it, ghosts seem to love killing couples, could it be that he is jealous of other people's loving relationships?"

  "If that's the case, then it's pointless to talk about it. Wang Shengli and his wife both wish each other would hurry up and die, what a loving couple!" Dong Yiqi shouted.

  "I couldn't find the reason either."

  "Who's going to be unlucky next?" Old Yang asked.

  Director Li's face turned pale as he sat on one side, and he walked out silently.

  "Could it be him?" Su Yingzhen guessed as she looked at his back.

  "How can you be sure?"

  "Anyone who sees a ghost will die."

  "And he should have known it was a supernatural event long ago." Xue Pinhan, who had been listening to their discussion all along, suddenly spoke up: "On the first day we came, he led us in this direction and kept saying it was related to the ancient tomb, hinting at us. And he is also from Huaihua Village."

  Seeing everyone's astonished gaze on him, Xue Pinhan hastily explained: "I don't believe in the supernatural, I just want to crack the case early and not let anyone else die."

  Everyone nodded in agreement and moved into Director Li's home according to his arrangement.

  Li Shouzhang seemed deeply moved by their arrival, almost to the point of tears. He and his wife warmly entertained them.

  At night before going to bed, the criminal investigation team had a brief meeting.

  The atmosphere at Director Li's home is quite strange. I always feel like it's gloomy and depressing."

  "I also think so, seeing us is like seeing a lifesaver."

  "Did he know he was being haunted by a ghost?"

  "Ghosts aren't just killing those who have a grudge against them, are they? Did Li Suo Chang do something wrong?"

  Everyone has their own say.

  "I've been guessing and guessing but still can't figure it out, I'll go ask him." Su Yingzhen said as she was about to leave.

  "It's...not very good, is it?" Xue Pinhan hesitated.

  "It doesn't matter if anything good or bad happens, just push it onto me and that's it. After all, I'm the new one here, you can bully me however you want." Having said this, Su Ying really did redden her eyes, turned around and went to find Director Li.

  Li Zong brought her to an empty room, closed the door tightly, sat on a chair and sighed: "You guessed it right, I was indeed haunted by ghosts. Haven't you heard that only people who are about to die can see ghosts? I think I might be dying soon."

  "As long as you find a way to crack it, you can resolve it."

  "You can!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Principal Li's eyes.

  "What are you looking for? You have to tell me the truth. What does the ghost look like that you see? What's your relationship with him?"

  Li thought seriously for a moment: "What I saw was Yu Xiaolan, and there's no other relationship between us except that we're from the same village."

  。”

  "That's strange, ghosts are usually out for revenge killings, aren't they?"

  Li Shouzhang seemed to shudder: "It's possible that I offended a ghost when I was in charge of this case before."

  Su Yingzhen returned to her own room when all members of the criminal investigation team were standing at her door.

  "What's going on?" Shen Zhiyuan and Dong Yiqi both asked eagerly.

  Su Yingzhen glanced at Xue Pinhan, who was stretching his neck and perking up his ears in a serious listening pose. When he met her gaze, he quickly shifted his line of sight away.

  Su Yingzhen yawned: "I'm tired, don't want to talk, want to sleep." After finishing speaking, she walked into the house.

  Blocked by Shen Zhiyuan and Dong Yiqi: "Just talk about it, otherwise we won't be able to sleep."

  I slept well.

  "Stop it and go back to your rooms to sleep." Xue Pinhan ordered.

  Just as everyone was about to leave, Su Ying's voice came from behind: "I want to say something now."

  Everyone stop.

  "Although I didn't ask anything specific, I had a feeling. Director Li must be hiding something from us," Su Yingzhen said.

  "Feel it? Sixth sense?"

  "No, I said ghosts are usually vengeful murderers. When Director Li answered, his pupils suddenly enlarged and then shrunk, proving that he was lying."

  "How can you tell? Are you going to read minds?"

  "You can look at my police academy file, the psychology department is full marks." Su Yingzhen said proudly, pushing through the crowd and opening the door to enter.

  His old companion was already asleep, but Director Li was still staring wide-eyed in the darkness. The houses in the countryside were all very large, and theirs was no exception, so they could accommodate Xue Pinhan and his group. Now, on the left side of his bedroom lived Xue Pinhan and Old Yang, while on the right side lived Shen Zhiyuan and Dong Yiqi. Su Yingzhen lived alone in the room opposite. His son and daughter had all gone abroad, leaving only him and his old companion at home. He still had four years before retirement. Thinking of those four years, he felt a slight movement in his heart, and the two words sounded like "year of death". Would this year become his own year of death? The little policewoman just now said that ghosts were usually vengeful murderers, would they come after him? Or would that policewoman come after him? His intestines were already regretting it, if he had known earlier, he really shouldn't have... But thinking about it again, even if he had known the result, he might still have taken the risk, money was a good thing!

  Li Shouzhang shivered several times in a row, how did the room become so cold? Didn't they close the window? But this is early May, no matter how cold it is, it won't be as cold as falling into an ice cave.

  He glanced at the curtains, which were fluttering, and it seemed that he had indeed not closed the window properly. Thinking of his elderly companion who suffered from rheumatism and couldn't tolerate drafts, he got up to close the window tightly, securing the latch firmly. His heart stirred again: "Why did I have to fasten it so tightly?"

  Suddenly, he felt like someone was staring at him from behind, a feeling that had been with him since his death. Director Li's heart skipped a beat and jumped wildly as the sound in the quiet night reached his ears like the tolling of a funeral drum. Just as he hesitated whether to turn back, a hand landed on his shoulder...
