Chapter 33 Qing Shui Town 05

  "It's probably not human anymore." Zhou Jun, who had also been in contact with the supernatural, asked him about it. Gu Wenkai didn't hide or evade the question and directly told him what he knew. "The state of the corpse's disintegration, as well as the ghostly aura on it, I think it was done by an evil spirit. Moreover, to be able to do something to this extent, that evil spirit's power is not to be underestimated."

  "What's next?" Zhou Jun knocked on the table and said, "You're not planning to tell Chen Ming and the others, are you?"

  "This is something that can't be said!" Gu Wenkai shrugged, "Whether they believe it or not after I say it is one thing, but if they think I'm crazy and kick me out of the investigation team, what am I supposed to do? No, no, it's not what I'm supposed to do. It's what you're supposed to do! Are you going to catch ghosts with guns and handcuffs?"

  "So you want to use the investigation team's hands to find out where that ghost is first?"

  Gu Wenkai: "That's right."

  "What's next after finding it?"

  Gu Wenkai's expression turned serious, "After finding it, I'm afraid it won't be something within the realm of ordinary people."

  "I know, then the aftermath will be left to you." Zhou Jun stood up, leaning on his cane and limping towards the conference room door.

  When Zhou Jun walked past Gu Wenkai, Gu Wenkai suddenly spoke up again: "Old Zhou, you've guessed that these cases aren't human crimes, so why are you still giving them directions? You should know that when people from the Yang world interfere with Yin world affairs, one misstep and it's not just a matter of getting hurt. And... I think this time's guy is even more dangerous than the little ghost from the car accident last time."

  "That thing is haunting the outskirts of Qing Shui Town, we know its direction of killing, but we don't know how many people it needs to kill to be satisfied. Although I'm no longer a police officer, at heart I'm still a police officer, protecting innocent civilians and maintaining order, even if the opponent isn't human." Zhou Jun didn't turn back, limping as he walked to the conference room door, his hand on the doorknob, "As for others... they're the same, they're also police officers."

  Is he a cop? After seeing Zhou Jun walk out of the conference room, Gu Wenkai looked at his own palm and then clenched it tightly. Suddenly feeling some hot blood surging, he was also a policeman, so he was the same!

  Gu Wenkai had just put down his hand when he heard a hurried crutch hitting the ground, and when he looked up at the conference room door, he saw Zhou Jun limping back again.

  "I said, after dealing with that ghost... won't it just be you alone?" Zhou Jun walked up to Gu Wenkai and looked at him with an expression that Gu Wenkai couldn't understand.

  "Is that so? What's wrong?" Gu Wenkai said matter-of-factly, "Apart from me, there's no one else in the investigation team who can see ghosts!"

  "Cough, cough!" Zhou Jun cleared his throat twice and said: "Don't you plan on finding other helpers? Like your big brother Gu Yin who always looks so high and mighty?"

  "why look for him?"

  Zhou Jun looked up and down at Gu Wenkai, "Because you don't look very reliable... although it's only natural for police to serve the people, a policeman's life is also a life, so for safety's sake, why don't you call your big brother over too?"

  Gu Wenkai: "......You just poured cold water on me and completely extinguished the police fighting spirit that had just been ignited."

  Zhou Jun waved his hand and said with a nonchalant expression, "If we're going to extinguish the fire, then let's hurry up and call for external aid. Director Shen is about to depart immediately."

  Gu Wenkai's mouth twitched slightly, but he was no longer in his awkward adolescence. Although he still looked displeased, he spoke up: "Forget about asking my older brother for help, that guy won't lift a finger just because you ask him to. But I'll contact my second brother and confirm the extent of this case with him. If necessary, I'll get someone to come over and assist."

  The search team returned before noon, and Gu Wenkai listened to the search team's report together, then found time to call his second brother Gu Wencheng. Gu Wencheng was not at home, he went to another school with the school leaders last month to give a lecture, and has not returned yet.

  On the phone, Gu Wenkai briefly told Gu Wencheng about the condition of the body and expressed his own views.

  "This should be the evil spirit coming for us?" Gu Wenkai said, "As long as we make good preparations, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with."

  "You said you are now in H City?" Gu Wenqing did not immediately answer Gu Wenkai's question, but instead asked a seemingly unrelated question, "Where is H City?"

  "We are now in Pingjiang Town, but we will be going to Qing Shui Town soon. According to the police investigation and inference, that evil spirit is likely hiding in Qing Shui Town." said Gu Wenkai.

  "Qingshui Town?" Gu Wenqing's tone became serious, "Wen Kai, things are probably not as simple as you think. It may not be an ordinary vengeful spirit seeking revenge."

  "What did you say?" Gu Wenkai asked.

  Gu Wenqing was slightly quiet on the other end of the phone before speaking: "Qingshui Town... that's where big brother nearly lost his life 17 years ago, when he was 12 years old. You were 8 years old at the time and probably didn't understand what happened, so you're not very clear about some key points."

  Seventeen years ago, Gu Wenkai remembered that day when he was carried back by his father, Gu Yin's face was full of ferocity and his eyes were cold with murderous intent, more terrifying than a fierce ghost from the underworld. He was so scared that he didn't dare to enter Gu Yin's room at that time. So many years have passed, and when facing Gu Yin, he unconsciously avoids him, which has something to do with being frightened by Gu Yin back then.

  About the great disaster that Gu Yin encountered seventeen years ago, Gu Wenkai knew about it, but only roughly. Firstly, because he didn't understand the situation clearly when he was young, and secondly, Gu Yin never told his family members about what happened back then in detail, only saying that he would investigate himself. Therefore, other details, he had no idea at all.

  "I'm not very clear about the details, but I know that someone set up a ghost array in Qing Shui Town's western town to try and capture my brother's soul. When Father and the others rushed over to bring my brother back, he had already walked out of the ghost array."

  "Ghost Array?" Gu Wenkai took a deep breath in shock, "Actually setting up a Ghost Array in the town?"

  The ghost array is generally a large-scale formation, and it's extremely terrifying. "Where the ghost array passes, no grass grows" - this isn't an exaggeration, but a statement of fact. Setting up a ghost array in town isn't something to be taken lightly.

  "That array was set up in the farmland outside the residential area, so after the incident, although the family members went to do some follow-up work, that land has not been cultivated for a long time. Moreover, until now, the west town of Qing Shui Town has not recovered from the influence of that ghost array. The whole piece of land in the west town is gloomy and lifeless, and most young people have left. Only some stubborn old-fashioned people are left behind." Gu Wenqing said, "However, the key point is not these, but rather Qing Shui Town's west town is prone to raising ghosts. If someone with malicious intentions utilizes the local energy, things will not be simple to settle. Now that you mention these cases, I estimate that something that cannot be simply settled has already happened."

  "What's to be done?" asked Gu Wenkai.

  "In short, if that ghost is from Qing Shui Town, it's not something you can handle. You need to find Big Brother."

  "Where can I go to find him?" Gu Wenkai was a bit frantic. "Two days ago, I had something to ask Shao Bo and called the residence in S City, but Shao Bo told me that Big Brother wasn't in S City and wouldn't be back for a while."

  Gu Yin is not fond of carrying a mobile phone, so when he's outside, it's often difficult to get in touch with him.

  "Don't worry, I think something like this happening in Qing Shui Town, Big Brother won't just sit back and do nothing. He's probably already on his way to H City." Gu Wenqing thought for a moment before saying, "The place where that incident happened all those years ago was indeed Qing Shui Town. Given Big Brother's personality, he must be keeping an eye on that place! With something like this happening, he must have gone there long ago."

  Gu Wenkai: "But I hope..."

  "Hey, don't be rash, I'll be back in the city soon."

  Gu Wenkai ended the call with Gu Wencheng with a worried heart, just about to tell Zhou Jun that the situation had changed, but was informed by Chen Ming and others that there was a new development in the case - another similar body was found. This is the seventh one, and the location where the body was found is right on the edge of Qing Shui Town.

  Gu Wenkai originally wanted to find Zhou Jun, thinking of a way to temporarily hold back Shen Bin and Chen Ming from going to Qing Shui Town, waiting for Gu Wenchang to come and see the situation, but with this seventh case happening, it was impossible to hold them back.

  At 2 pm on the same day, the reconnaissance teams of S City and H City rushed to Qing Shui Town.

  After arriving at the scene, Gu Wenkai followed Chen Ming and others to the scene. However, before seeing the body, Gu Wenkai saw two familiar people - Qin Fei and Zhang Zhixin.

  "How did you end up here?" Gu Wenkai asked.

  "Hmph! What business do you have here?" Zhang Zhi Xin rolled his eyes at Gu Wen Kai, turning his head to the side. Seeing the body that had already been handled by the police and wrapped up, he looked like he was about to cry again.

  Gu Wenkai looked at Zhang Zhixin's mouth twitching, knowing that this old man was temporarily unable to communicate normally, so he pulled Qin Fei aside.

  "What's going on here? How did you end up in this place?"

  "It's a bit of a hassle to explain... I received a call from the hospital saying that my third uncle had been hospitalized, so I came to H City. Later, because the person who put a curse on me might be in H City, I didn't return immediately." Qin Fei turned his head and glanced at Zhang Zhi Xin, organizing his words: "As for why we were at the scene of the crime, it's because my third uncle was the first to discover the body. He was originally following that person."

  "This is a bit too much information!" Gu Wenkai scratched his head, "The person who cursed you... wow! Let's not talk about this for now, let's focus on the current situation. What did Zhang Lao mean by following that person? Why was he following him?" Website:
