Chapter 44: The Person Who Wants to Become a God (2) [Back] Mobile

  Lin Yuan often speaks in a somewhat sarcastic tone, but his words are always true.

  At this moment, Xia Zhu was looking at those dead people who were calm and peaceful, but for some reason, she felt a chill in her heart. The murderer seemed to think that killing was not a sin, as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit, believing that he could purify the souls of the people in the fire.

  "If it's purification," Xia Zhu asked, "shouldn't these victims have something in common?"

  "I just checked too," Lin Yuan nodded, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes: "Take a look."

  Xia Zhu took it over and suddenly realized: "This is everyone's file, shouldn't it be confidential?"

  Her puzzled expression was caught by Lin Yuanxi, who smiled faintly: "In Bitianqi's place, everyone has one."

  Xia Zhu was stunned, she looked at Lin Yuan for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Isn't that..."

  "That's right." Lin Yuan nodded: "When I recruited you, I also reviewed your file."

  "Sorry......" Xia Zhu shook her head: "My father's case should have caused you trouble."

  Lin Yuanxu was slightly surprised, he looked at Xia Zhu for a while, and suddenly said: "Your father will be released from prison soon."

  "Ah?" Xia Zhu was somewhat surprised, she calculated and said: "No, there should be many more years..."

  Even if it's a reduced sentence, it shouldn't be this many years...

  Xia Zhu looked at Lin Yuanbo for a moment and suddenly understood something. She shook her head, sighed softly and said: "Thank you."

  If it weren't for Lin Yuanlie's appraisal report, his father would probably still be in there for dozens of years.

  Lin Yuan didn't make a sound, his gaze swept over the victims one by one, and only then did he say faintly: "Their only common point is that they were all enthusiastic about public welfare."

  "Your meaning is..." Xia Zhu suddenly shook and said.

  "That's right," Lin Yuan furrowed his brow: "These people have more or less all participated in public welfare activities, and these two were once the charity ambassadors of a city."

  This inference made Xia Zhu's heart even colder: "Could it be that the murderer thinks... everything is hypocritical?"

  "There are always some people who are skeptical about everything," Lin Yuan furrowed his brow, his expression somewhat impatient: "This person's psychology after killing someone may not necessarily be one of remorse, it's possible that they just hope these people will maintain a good appearance after being purified."

  Xia Zhu felt a chill run down her spine, and she involuntarily leaned in closer to Lin Yuan's side. This small movement caught Lin Yuan's eye, making him slightly amused: "What?"

  "There's nothing." Xia Zhu leaned over to take a closer look at the materials, and only after a while did she say: "Actually, it's not just that one similar place, because the last one that was burned beyond recognition, and the previous girl were in the same company."

  Lin Yuanxi also looked back: "Far Yeung Company."

  "That's right," Xia Zhu rubbed her temples: "I feel like this company is so familiar... Ah!"

  Her expression became increasingly solemn, and looking at Lin Yuan made her seem as if she had seen a ghost: "It's my mother's company."

  "I hope there's a connection." Lin Yuanxiao naturally took Xia Zhu's hand: "Let's go take a look."

  "When my mother died at that time, I suspected their colleagues in the office. Now going there might not be very good..." Xia Zhu struggled to explain.

  Lin Yuanxu looked at her with some doubt: "You suspect your colleague?"

  "Hmm," Xia Zhu sighed: "During that time, Mom's mood was always bad, and she wouldn't say anything when asked. Later, I heard her arguing on the phone until she cried, but at that time, I didn't think it was Dad, I thought it was a colleague..."

  Lin Yuan furrowed his brow and looked at Xia Zhu for a long time, slightly nodding: "You didn't guess wrong."

  Xia Zhu opened her big eyes.

  Lin Yuanxiao said calmly: "Their colleagues may have a problem, your mother's cause of death was suffocation, your father confessed, but now it seems..."

  He didn't continue, furrowed his brow and let go of Xia Zhu's fingers. At that moment, Xia Zhu felt his hand was very cold, a hint of desolation flashed in his eyes: "Let's go, we'll take a look."

  For the first time, she heard uncertainty from Lin Yuan's mouth.

  Xia Zhu's heart suddenly tightened slightly, she reached out and took Lin Yuanbo's hand, a smile spreading across her face: "Let's go take a look at the Far Ocean Company."

  Lin Yuanxi looked at Xia Zhu with a somewhat hesitant expression. Xia Zhu was rendered speechless by his appearance and could only shake her head, saying "Don't worry."

  Xia Zhu rarely took the initiative to comfort others, and this was also the first time. Lin Yuanbai, on the other hand, was unusually silent, his eyes drifting away as if he was thinking about something.

  Far East Company

  "This company looks a bit strange." Lin Yuanxi commented.

  Xia Zhu looked at the 13-story office building and nodded: "Is it because of bad luck? Hmm, actually, the boss mentioned this before, but unfortunately no one believed it, thinking it was too superstitious."

  Lin Yuanxi didn't continue speaking, he just furrowed his brow and looked for a while, then shook his head: "Go up."

  Xia Zhu followed closely behind, it had been too long since he last came, to the point where almost everyone in the Far Yang company had changed. Xia Zhu looked around and soon met a familiar face: "Hey Xiao Xia..."

  That was a woman in her forties, with particularly delicate makeup on her face. She stretched out her hand as if to pat Xiaozhu's shoulder, but hesitated and withdrew it. After glancing at Lin Yuanxiao's expressionless profile, she couldn't help but ask: "Boyfriend? Husband?"

  "No, no, nothing like that..." Xia Zhu hastily denied, unsure if Lin Yuan was worried about exposing his identity.

  Who would have thought that Lin Yuanzi stretched out his hand and pulled Xia Zhu into his arms, giving a hearty greeting: "Boyfriend, Auntie is good."

  He was originally born with a good appearance, and now he is even more so that the aunt can't close her mouth: "Ah, Xiao Yi has been looking forward to you having a companion, how come you haven't come all these years..."

  Nai Shao looked genuinely heartbroken for Xia Zhu, her expression couldn't be fake.

  Xia Zhu smiled: "It's been a bit busy these years, how has Aunt Xiao been lately?"

  "It's all right, you can get by, and Aunt Xiao will be at ease." Aunt Xiao had a hint of sigh in her eyes, shaking the things in her hand: "This is it, this week's case, recently we'll be busy again."

  Yuanyang Accounting Firm is well-known in the city, and almost all projects, big or small, have cooperated with them. Xia Zhu looked at it naturally and understood that it was going to be a busy day again. She also nodded obediently: "Aunt Xiao, has she recently... felt that there's something not quite right about Yuanyang Company?"

  Xiao Yi's face changed suddenly, she looked at Xia Zhu for a while, then glanced at Lin Yuanbo beside her, and suddenly pulled Xia Zhu out of the door. When the three stood still in the empty space outside where sunlight was shining everywhere, Xiao Yi finally let go of her hand. Xia Zhu felt that her wrist was a bit wet and slippery, probably because Xiao Yi had broken out in cold sweat. She looked at Xia Zhu for a long time before whispering: "Faryang Company might be haunted by ghosts."

  Xia Zhu opened her eyes wide and heard Lin Yuanbo ask calmly: "What's going on, Aunt Xiao?"

  His "Aunt Xiao" was called out with a somewhat reluctant tone, and Xia Zhu listened to it, feeling a bit stifled.

  Fortunately, Aunt Xiao didn't mind and continued to say: "It's a bit strange, Far Yang Company has been losing money for several years, which is not a big deal, but these days someone keeps saying that there are ghost shadows in the office."

  Although it was a fine day, Xia Zhu felt a chill run down her spine: "Ghost shadow?"

  "'Ghostly affairs,' Lin Yuanxi smiled faintly: 'Is there any other evidence?'"

  "If it were just a rumor, then maybe it wouldn't be anything, but the monitor showed that someone was entwined by a dark shadow and pulled into the darkness. The next day when asked about what happened yesterday, this person didn't know anything." Xiao Yi said as she looked at Xia Zhu, who's face turned even paler. Her fingers were pinched on Lin Yuan's wrist, pulling it to the point where Lin Yuan felt a bit of pain before softly saying: "My mom had encountered something like that too."

  Lin Yuan looked at Xia Zhu with some surprise, and then heard Xia Zhu pause for a long time before saying: "At that time, I didn't believe it," her voice was very small, as if she had used up all her strength to continue speaking: "At that time, I also told her that the strange powers were because...because..."

  "There's a ghost in his heart." Lin Yuan continued calmly.

  Xia Zhu opened her big eyes and looked at him. Lin Yuanli stretched out his other hand and gently patted Xia Zhu's head: "If it were me, I would say the same thing."

  No matter how many years have passed, Xia Zhu still remembers her calm and playful expression at the time, as well as her mother's desperate refutation. Unfortunately, at that time, Xia Zhu just thought her mother was overthinking.

  "It's nothing, it's not your fault." Lin Yuan repeated.

  Xiao Yi looked at their interaction and shook her head. Her face was still serious: "There's one more thing, you might want to know."

  Lin Yuan nodded: "Please go on."

  "Our chairman might have been haunted by a ghost," said Aunt Xiao.

  Xia Zhu was stunned. She remembered their chairman, who had been very kind to her mother at the time, was a highly respected elder. How could he be haunted by ghosts?

  "A few days ago, at the banquet in San Da, the chairman suddenly fainted and when he came to, it was as if he had become a different person." Aunt Xiao said in a low voice, her face also looking very bad: "The eldest son has been here once, and even after finding a doctor, there's no improvement. Now we don't know what's going on either."

  "If I'm not mistaken," Xia Zhu flipped open the roster in her hand, pulling out the list of the recent charity gala. She looked up at Lin Yuanke and nodded: "The organizer is the chairman, Zhou Jiancheng."

  Lin Yuanxi's gaze was not on Xia Zhu, he raised his head and looked thoughtfully at the entrance of the building, asking faintly: "Zhou Jiancheng?"

  Xia Zhu and Xiao Yi looked back together, the man was wearing a well-tailored coat, his expression was dull as he walked towards the building, from the silhouette, there was a hint of stiffness.

  Lin Yuanxi looked at that person for a long time, and a hint of cold ridicule flashed between his eyebrows: "It's been a long time since I've seen this move, I didn't think I'd see it again."

  He had barely finished speaking when Zhou Jiancheng seemed to have noticed something, raised his eyes, and shot a sharp gaze over.

  There's no ghost, absolutely none, so don't be afraid at all! Touch each tiger one by one...
