Ancient Tomb Curse Four

  "What's found?"

  "Look." Shen Zhiyuan opened his computer. On the screen was a video of Su Yingzhen hypnotizing Sun Yue.

  Xue Pin's eyes swept coldly: "I don't see what the problem is."

  "Take another look." Shen Zhiyuan darkened the colors of the screen and pointed to Su Yingzhen's side, asking: "Do you see anything?"

  "There seems to be a thin fog around her." Dong Yiqi called out.

  "Does it look like a person?" Shen Zhiyuan asked them.

  Everyone who heard him say this really thought it was true. Only Xue Pinhan said indifferently: "It's probably just the light shining on it."

  。”

  Dong Yiqi's face turned bright red. "Head, I think you're just biased against Xiao Su and are finding fault with her everywhere. This afternoon we searched the entire village and didn't find any clues that had anything to do with her. Besides, she doesn't even know the victim's family, so how could she have killed him? Don't let your personal feelings about your junior sister cloud your judgment and make you suspect her for no reason, mistaking coincidence for evidence."

  "Wait, don't make a fuss." Shen Zhiyuan said: "Take another look." He adjusted the screen to be even darker, and that mist had clearly become a human figure. The mouth area on its face seemed to be moving. Moreover, when Sun Ye fainted, that black air suddenly disappeared.

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

  "Still." Shen Zhiyuan's voice trembled for no reason, making everyone else tense as well. He enlarged the image on the window side, and in the corner, there seemed to be a mass of black air.

  "Yi Qi, didn't you say that woman ran like she was flying? Think about it, a woman wearing a long skirt, can she outrun you? Moreover, the three of us saw the figure at the same time, but who can describe the color of her clothes?"

  Shen Zhiyuan's gaze swept across Xue Pinhan and Dong Yiqi, seeing that they remained silent for a long time, said: "You can't answer, right? Because all we saw was just a black air mass."

  "Are you saying we mistakenly took that black air as a person due to our preconceived notions?"

  Shen Zhiyuan nodded solemnly: "It's precisely because it's a mass of black air, and it's far away from you, that it would give you the illusion that it's a woman in a long dress."

  Xue Pinhan stood by in contemplation.

  "Could it be true what Director Li said, that the ancient tomb is killing people?" Old Yang mysteriously threw out a sentence.

  "You're saying there's a ghost?" Dong Yiqi's eyes widened in surprise.

  "Xiao Xue, do you remember when we went to investigate Sun Lei, his relatives said he saw his wife Wang Li. Moreover, he had been staring at our backs, and now thinking back, that terrified expression was like seeing a ghost. Could it be that he killed his wife? And then his wife's soul came to take revenge on him." For some reason, he suddenly lowered his voice, as if afraid of being overheard, causing the others' faces to reveal tense and serious expressions.

  "Nonsense!" Xue Pinhan broke the eerie silence in the house. After a moment of contemplation, he said to Shen Zhiyuan, "Go and call that new person in."

  "I'm going too." Dong Yiqi hurriedly stood up and followed Shen Zhiyuan out.

  "Do you believe her?" Old Yang asked.

  "Maybe I was too cautious before."

  In just a few minutes, the three of them came in. Xue Pinhan glanced at Su Yingzhen, who still had a sullen face and slightly red eyes. His throat moved, but he didn't say a word to her, turning to the others: "Let's have a meeting, one by one, to discuss today's investigation situation."

  "I'll speak first," Old Yang said: "The several households I went to didn't have any leads related to the case that I thought were important, but one household did catch my attention. It was Wang Shengli and Yu Xiaolan, a husband-and-wife pair. When I arrived, they were in the middle of an argument. The woman was scolding the man for being useless, while the man accused the woman of cheating on him. They didn't even care that I, an outsider, was present, and their argument escalated into a physical fight."

  "It seems I have a lead here." Dong Yiqi's face broke into a smile: "And quite a few of them too."

  "Come on, spit it out!"

  "Shen Zhiyuan urged, he couldn't bear him mentioning important matters with such an attitude."

  Two women in the village, Wu Chunxiang and Chen Yun, both said that the other was the murderer of Wang Li. Wu Chunxiang said that Chen Yun had an unclear relationship with a man from another village, which was broadcast everywhere by Wang Li. Chen Yun revealed that Wu Chunxiang's family and Wang Li's family had a big fight over a piece of land, even startling the police station. From then on, the two women also became enemies and would scold each other when they met.

  "When we went to Huaihua Village for the second time, didn't a villager mention that Wang Li's mouth was particularly disliked by others? Could it be that she was killed because of this?" Old Yang speculated.

  "I had thought of this too, so in the subsequent investigation, I specifically asked the villagers and found that both of them have alibis. On the day Wang Li died, they were both at the village head's mahjong hall struggling for a whole day. The reason they slandered each other like this is because they both had an affair with a man from another village and were jealous of each other on purpose." As he said this, Dong Yiqi's smile grew even wider and more ambiguous: "When I went to Li Jun's house to investigate, he was watching porn DVDs with a bachelor named Li Hui. The scene was so explicit that even I felt embarrassed to enter."

  "Aren't you ashamed? I think you can't wait to rush over and watch with them. Look at your lustful expression!" Shen Zhiyuan sneered.

  "No wonder, when I went to Li Hui's house, only his father was at home. When I asked him, he didn't know where he had run off to either. They still live in that old flat, and that kid doesn't think of ways to earn more money but instead runs off to watch porn DVDs. Alas, what's the point of raising a child like this!" Old Yang sighed, being the only one who has become a father, naturally felt deeply moved.

  "There's a major discovery here," Xue Pinhan said: "It was the home of the first deceased, Li Huan. Because Director Li said that no one had been to his house since Li Huan's incident, and the autopsy report number hadn't come out yet, so they hadn't investigated him. Today, there happened to be someone at home, so I went in. I found that although their house looks ordinary from the outside, it's actually very luxurious inside. Li Huan didn't go out to work or do business, and according to villagers, he didn't even farm his land properly, where did he get the money? Moreover, his wife was wearing gold and silver jewelry, and when she saw me, she was more panicked than sad, what is she afraid of? Is it true that they made a fortune by doing illegal things and making black money, as other villagers said?"

  "I've also heard those few households I went to investigate say the same thing. I was so busy talking about the scandal that I forgot about this lead."

  "It's normal that you forgot, but it's abnormal that you remembered. What else can your brain hold besides those things?" Shen Zhiyuan said sarcastically.

  "Hey Shen Zhiyuan, are you done yet? Are you unhappy because Su Yingzhen talked to me a bit more earlier and now you're picking on me? Who told you that you're not as handsome as me?"

  Shen Zhiyuan snorted in disdain and immediately counterattacked. Just as it seemed like the verbal sparring was about to escalate into physical violence, Su Yingzhen hurried over to mediate.

  "Two guys, as long as there's a slightly pretty policewoman in the group, they'll definitely fight to the death." Xue Pinhan looked at them with distress.

  "What can we do? The deadline is approaching." Old Yang said.

  "So I told them not to make it look nice, just like Tian Meng's when he left."

  As soon as Yang mentions Tian Meng, he feels like vomiting. That female cop is not as good-looking as her name suggests, she's rough and coarse, with thick skin and a rugged complexion, extremely ugly. She's also incredibly strong, a complete amazon, any man would avoid her at all costs, let alone Shen Zhiyuan and Dong Yiqi who value appearance highly, they have to bring a plastic bag with them every day in preparation for vomiting when they see her. In the whole team, only Xue Pinhan gets along with her, when they're on a mission together, the two of them walk side by side, the rate at which people turn their heads to stare is incredibly high, it's almost causing traffic congestion.

  "Just now Shen Zhiyuan showed me that black shadow, don't you suspect..."
