Chapter 1: Strange Phenomena in the Underworld

  It's said that drawing a contract, Xiong Lunbing suddenly hesitated, he was somewhat in a dilemma. Everyone knows, as long as it's written in black and white, if the police find out, it becomes evidence of a crime.

  "Can't we do it some other way?" He asked tentatively, looking very pitiful, staring foolishly at the other person, hoping to get sympathy from others - or rather, the dead.

  "What do you think?" Qin's voice was cold and detached as she said, "If you think that writing down your crimes will be evidence of your guilt, then you will undoubtedly die. Therefore, try not to leave any handles for others to grasp, but... you have committed countless evils, and the heavens and people are already outraged. Simply ending it like this, do you think we would let you off so easily? You will still die, only if you write it down, I might see that you truly have a repentant heart, and perhaps, considering our past relationship as lovers, I might spare your worthless life, giving you a glimmer of hope."

  "You really let me go, won't you hand over the crimes I wrote on paper to the police?" Xiong Lun was extremely cunning and deceitful, he further probed, wanting to know how Qin Yin would deal with him, so he was very uneasy.

  "Cut the crap!" Qin Yin's patience was wearing thin, her eyes wide with anger, gritting her teeth as she spoke. "Do you have any room for negotiation? Are you going to write it or not?" As she spoke, she took slow steps towards Xiong Lunbing, her face pale and expression cold, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. Her long hair floated in front of her pale face, drifting slowly towards Xiong Lunbing, as if he would lose his life on the spot if he dared to utter even half a "no".

  Xiong Lun Ice slightly raised his head, the remaining light in his eyes glanced at Qin Yin's face, seeing Qin Yin's expression was serious and even gloomy, looking very determined, it seemed that not writing a confession would not be enough to save his life.

  "I'll write!" He gritted his teeth and made a bold decision, just like he was going all-in on a gamble.

  Qin Yin saw that he had finally agreed to write, so she smiled coldly and waved her left hand. On the tea table in front of him, a white paper and a pen suddenly appeared, it seemed that Qin Yin still knew some magic tricks.

  Xiong Lunbing slowly got up, his knees numb from kneeling for too long. He moved cautiously to the tea table, squatted down to pick up the pen and was about to write, but couldn't think of what to write. So he looked up at Qin Yin and asked: "How do I write?"

  "I'll ask and you answer," said Qin Yin.

  "Alright!" Xiong Lunbing sighed and held his pen in hand, waiting for Qin Yin's questions.

  "What's your name?"

  "Xiong Lunbing, oh no, should be called Wang Canglong."

  "How did you change your name to Xiong Lunbing?"

  "After I killed you and your dad, to avoid the police investigation, I hid my identity, found a fake ID maker, made a household registration, and then created a fake ID. Changed my name to Xiong Lunbing."

  "Who did you kill? Don't just say 'you' and mine, write down the name clearly."

  "I killed Qinming, the chairman of the Qinshi company, and his daughter Qinyun."

  "What is the murder weapon?"

  "One needle tip, I injected air into my girlfriend Qin Yun's blood vessels, causing her blood to form clots and then die in agony."

  "Who else did you kill besides me?"

  "My parents, and Zhang Yuan."

  "How did you kill Zhang Yuan?"

  "I arranged to meet him by the lake at his old home, he said he was very afraid, fearing that one day the police would catch up with him. I was afraid that he would be caught by the police and give me away due to his cowardice, so I took advantage of his carelessness, nailed the nail I had prepared long ago onto his head, and then pushed him into the water to create a fake drowning scene."

  "Why did you want to kill him?"

  "Because I told him to kill my wife Ruan Jiaolü."

  "You're really a beast in human skin, first you killed me, then later you killed your own wife, are you that ruthless?" Qin Yue's anger was almost making her vomit blood, but for the sake of getting evidence, she restrained her emotions.

  "Why kill your wife?" Qin continued to ask.

  "Because she knew a secret, someone asked me to kill her, but she was still my wife, I couldn't do it, so I bribed Zhang Yuan to take action."

  "Some people say they heard your wife arguing with someone, was it you or Zhang Yuan?"

  "It's Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan pretended to like my wife and deliberately provoked Ran Jiaolü, so he could make his move."

  "Then who told you to kill Ruan Jiaolü?"

  "Policeman! A policeman."

  "A police officer?!" Qin Yin was shocked, almost disbelieving her own ears. The mastermind behind Ruan Jiaoluo's murder case was actually a police officer, a law enforcement officer.

  "What's the name of this policeman?"

  "He called......" Xiong Lunbing was about to say the policeman's name, but as soon as he said two words, he spat out blood and fell to the ground, lying in a pool of blood. Qin Yun only heard a "bang" sound of a gunshot, and there was an additional bullet hole on Xiong Lunbing's back.

  "Who is it!" Qin Yin shouted loudly, hastily floating over to the window, but saw the curtains swaying as if blown by the wind, and a figure had already reached the corner of the wall in the compound. Then disappeared into the darkness, Qin Yin could only see the back of a person wearing a police uniform hurrying away.

  It was still one step too late. Qin Yin looked at the black figure wearing a police uniform, who was slightly chubby and not very tall, with furrowed brows.

  She turned around and rushed to Xiong Linbing's side, seeing Xiong Linbing spitting out blood, lying on the ground in agony, struggling at death's door.

  "You wicked thief, you killed my father and wife, committed countless evils, and are simply deserving of death. Qin Yin gave Xiong Lun a disdainful spit, stood up straight and looked at the crimes written on the paper by Xiong Lun, smiling in satisfaction."

  At this time the door was suddenly kicked open, and several police officers rushed in. They looked at Xiong Lengbing who had just died on the ground, then looked at Qin Yin, with a shocked expression.

  "Was it you who killed him?" The captain of the criminal police team, holding a short gun, looked at Qin Yin and asked, "We heard the gunshot and rushed in, but you disguised yourself as a female ghost too well."

  It turned out that after Chen Zhenhua and others had planned to disguise themselves as ghosts to gather evidence, the captain sent someone to secretly monitor Xiong Lunbing. Even the parking attendant who drove him out of the bar was an undercover police officer. They followed him all the way, and later arrived at the parking lot, where everyone followed him from a distance. When Xiong Lunbing entered the elevator, they also entered another elevator and came to the third floor, where everyone hid nearby. Seeing that there was a woman following behind Xiong Lunbing, they could only wait until the "ghost colleague" obtained the evidence before making an arrest. Later, after hearing the gunshot, they broke with the original plan and appeared on the scene.

  The captain asked this, Qin Yin was about to speak when two people rushed in.

  "What's wrong?" The two people who came in were Huo Jucai and Chen Zhenhua.

  At this moment, the scene in the house shocked everyone! Three female ghosts appeared in the room.

  Chen Zhenhua and Huo Jucui had actually disguised themselves as Qin Yin and Ran Jiaolü, waiting for the agreed-upon time to arrive. After everything was ready, the two floated in and arrived at the residential area, only to hear a gunshot coming from Xiong Lunbing's house, so they rushed over to see this scene.

  "Both of you?" The police who rushed into the house stared at Chen Zhenhua and Huo Jucui with wide eyes, looking at them in surprise.

  "You two just arrived? And who is this?" The captain was also puzzled, he pointed at the two of them and looked them up and down, his eyes wide with surprise and his mouth agape.

  Then they turned back and looked inside at Qin Yin, but Qin Yin was nowhere to be found.

  It turned out that Qin Yin was not played by Chen Zhenhua and Huo Jucai, this female ghost is real, she is the real ghost of Qin Yin.

  At first, Chen Zhenhua met Qin Yin on the Huangquan Road in the underworld. After learning that Chen Zhenhua could return to the world of the living with Yan Wang's approval, Qin Yin bribed the judge and used various means to obtain a pass to the world of the living. She pretended to work at Hei Bai Wu Chang's courier company and followed him to the mortal realm when he was delivering goods to new ghosts.

  She wanted to avenge herself, after arriving in the mortal world, she followed Xiong Lengbing several times, but just as she was about to take action, someone came to find Xiong Lengbing and they were all interrupted. After several times, she felt that heaven wanted Xiong Lengbing to die under the gun of a righteous police officer, so she gave up on avenging herself. She didn't want Xiong Lengbing, also known as Wang Canglong, to die quietly without anyone knowing about this despicable person's crimes. She wanted to help Chen Zhenhua find evidence that Xiong Lengbing killed Ruan Jiaolü.

  So tonight, everyone coincidentally met up!

  Qin's departure made the police feel like they had really encountered a ghost, so they didn't bother to investigate how Xiong Lunbing died. They all rushed out of the house in a flurry, not even having time to start the police car, and fled in disarray.

  Chen Zhenhua and Huo Jucun, as well as Huang Aiguo, watched the back of the team leader and others leaving, shrugged their shoulders and smiled, then walked to Xiong Lunbing's side, squatted down to examine Xiong Lunbing's body.

  Xiong Linbing was shot in the back and died, with the bullet penetrating his chest. This single shot hit a vital spot, showing that the killer's marksmanship was accurate.

  "This shell casing is from a real gun, and this bullet is specially designed for police use. Our police department hasn't heard of any lost guns recently, so could it be that the police shot and killed Rong Lengbing?" Chen Zhenhua picked up the bullet head that had passed through Rong Lengbing's chest and the shell casing from under the curtains, furrowing his brow in thought. He couldn't understand how - or at least, it was very likely - a policeman could have secretly fired the shot. Looking at the scene before him, he couldn't comprehend why Rong Lengbing had died by police gunfire, which policeman would assassinate Rong Lengbing?

  "Kill him and silence him!" Huang Aiguo picked up the table where Xiong Lunbing had written down his crimes, he furrowed his brow and read through the crimes silently, then handed that paper to Chen Zhenhua.

  "The case has taken a new turn." Huo Jucai sighed and shook his head, "The evidence was interrupted, it just relied on the two of them after the police killed Xiong Lengbing."

  "You're right!" Chen Zhenhua shrugged and took a deep breath of the dawn air outside the window.

  The three of them left after leaving behind Xiong Lunbing's body, and the body was just waiting for the forensic doctor to deal with it.

  With the evidence of Xiong Lunbing's crime, the case of Ruan Jiaolü's murder was temporarily closed. The police department hastily announced the case to the outside world and even added flavor to the reporters by exaggerating the process of cracking the case.

  The next day, all major newspapers in Haicheng reported with headlines reading "Brave and Invincible, Solving Cases Like a God".

  At the same time, the conference room of the police station is also rewarding the hardworking and meritorious police officers who have made efforts in this case.

  Early in the morning, the conference room of the police station was packed with people, and everyone was chatting and laughing.

  The director sat on the podium amidst applause from the police officers, then took the microphone and said loudly: "Everyone, our police department has fought for several days and nights, and finally won a beautiful victory. The case of Ruan Jiaolü's murder was cracked yesterday, and the city gave us a very high evaluation for this case. I hope we will continue to work hard to better protect the lives and property of citizens."

  Thunderous applause erupted from the audience!

  "Now, according to the decision of the Party Committee, we will reward the comrade who made the greatest contribution this time." The director continued after the applause stopped.

  Upon hearing the reward, Chen Zhenhua and Huang Aiguo were also somewhat excited. They straightened their bodies forward, preparing for the director's thrilling commendation.

  Other police officers also quietly sent congratulations to the two, who knew that this case was almost only Chen Zhenhua and Huang Aiguo working hard, so at this commendation meeting, except for them, who else had this opportunity?

  The audience was almost silent, with only the team leader Yan Song showing no expression. He had his hands clasped together, eyes closed and leaned back in his chair, looking both leisurely and relaxed.

  "This time, we want to reward Comrade Yan Song, the captain of the criminal police brigade. Under his strong leadership, this case was solved quickly. His hard work and efforts for this case are visible to everyone, unless one is blind, who can deny Captain Yan's contributions? Therefore, after research by the bureau party committee, it has been decided to promote Comrade Yan Song to deputy director of the police bureau, in charge of managing the criminal police brigade and the public security brigade."

  The director finished speaking, and everyone's mouth was wide open, except for Yan Song, the captain of the criminal police brigade.
