Chapter 66: Interrogation

  Su Yun suddenly raised her head and calmly said, "I've already said it, I don't know Mr. Guo Jian! And I have no relationship with him whatsoever, I have no reason to harm anyone or commit suicide!" Lin Ming smiled again, his body seeming to relax as he leaned back into the chair, making it seem like this hard chair was more comfortable than that sofa. The whole person exuded laziness. To be honest, Su Yun particularly disliked seeing Lin Ming smile like that, as if he was mocking something.

  Lin Ming said leisurely, "Indeed, Miss Ji's identity information shows that you don't seem to have any connection with the deceased. Moreover, the deceased only returned to China this May. However, it's strange that a month ago, the deceased started shutting himself in at home. According to nearby residents, they saw a man in his 40s wearing black clothes coming to visit the deceased, but after ringing the doorbell for half a day, no one came to answer, and only left when he saw the neighbor come out to ask questions. Ah! I've digressed, back to the topic, what was Miss Ji doing at the deceased's home?"

  Su Yun rolled her eyes, how did she know. The glasses blocked the view, but Lin Ming seemed to know, and chuckled, lowering his voice, pretending to be mysterious: "So, I went to the scene and checked it out carefully. Found that the whole house was searched, but not a single clue was found, but you guess what I finally discovered?" Staring at Lin Ming's excited face, she suddenly felt that this person had some abnormal tendencies. Seeing that she didn't respond, Lin Ming didn't lose his enthusiasm, and said: "I collected human fingerprints on the wall next to the deceased, who do you think they belong to?"

  Su Yin stared at him, but the other party was smiling and didn't say anything else. Suddenly, Lin Ming turned his head towards the closed door, Su Yin followed suit and looked over, a minute later, Su Yin felt strange, what was he looking at? The next second, the door was knocked on with a rhythmic beat. With a buzz, Su Yin's body hair stood on end, he could see!

  "Come in." The door creaked open, revealing a young man standing at the entrance. At first glance, Su Yin was stunned! The visitor was about the same age as Lin Ming, or perhaps even younger, with a tall and slender build, standing upright like a spear. Upon closer inspection, his facial features were delicate at best, but what drew people in was his aura! Cold and hard, like an unassuming yet sharp blade hidden within.

  Su Yun furrowed her brow, what's the background of this Lin Ming, these people don't look like ordinary people at all, not even like regular police officers, they seem more like well-trained soldiers!

  "Lin Ming, the car is ready. And, you really don't answer your phone? It's been ringing for half an hour! What do I tell those people upstairs?" The man's voice was icy cold, and Su Yin shrank into her chair, feeling like he had just given her a once-over, his eyes calm and unruffled, but making her heart skip a beat. So cool! But even colder!

  Lin Ming smiled slyly, even with a hint of schadenfreude, his hands clasped together and placed on his belly, saying: "That's your job now! My great strategist, Lord Gu Yun!"

  "I'm busy! Please don't arbitrarily add unnecessary workload for me!" Gu Yun's face was still calm, but Su Yin felt the air somehow become colder.

  "Hey! Don't get worked up! Look, my Su Yin is already scared stiff by you! Those annoying fools upstairs, just ignore them and it's fine! Drag it out a bit more, you know what to do!" After saying that, he stood up, stretched his limbs, turned to Su Yin and chuckled: "How about it? Staying in the dark room for too long isn't good for your health. Come on, big brother will take you out for some fresh air!"

  Su Yin glared at Lin Ming, muttering in her heart: Who is Su Yin of your family? Who is the brother? Are you kidding me? This is an interrogation!

  But Su Yin still got up and followed Lin Ming, she really didn't want to stay in this haunted house anymore. As they passed by Gu Yun's side, Su Yin hung her head low like it was tied to her chest, Gu Yun gazed at her lightly, without even blinking, which made Su Yin wonder secretly, where had she offended this Mr.?

  Su Yun followed Lin Ming, passing through the building, across the office, and down the corridor where many people were coming and going, all looking very busy. However, as they passed by Lin Ming, they would greet him with a shout of "Director Lin!" Lin Ming nodded in response each time. When they reached the entrance, a Santana was indeed parked there. Lin Ming got into the driver's seat and, seeing Su Yun still standing beside the car, he nodded for her to get in.

  Su Yun hesitated for a moment, then got into the passenger seat. As soon as she sat down, the car sped away! Su Yun glanced at Lin Ming, and Lin Ming turned his head to look at her with a smile, saying "Something's up?"

  Su Yun asked, "Where are you taking me?" with a hint of wariness in her voice. Lin Ming replied nonchalantly, "Didn't I say? We're going for a stroll!" Su Yun rolled her eyes, unable to bear his lack of seriousness, which had dissipated more than half of her tension and replaced it with growing impatience!

  "Then I'll ask another question! Who are you, and why do they all call you Minister?" Lin Ming nodded: "Right! Because I am the Minister! Calling me Minister is being a Minister, what's wrong with that?" There's nothing wrong, but she didn't ask about that, this guy is playing tricks on people!

  Jian Su didn't speak, staring at herself. Lin Ming hooked the corner of his mouth and took out something from his pocket to hand over to her. She took it and looked at it - a business card, all black with elegant font, looking quite fashionable.

  "Gu Yu and I are both members of the National Supernatural Research Department, which is under the jurisdiction of a special national department. I'm the minister and he's an official! But don't tell anyone else, it's a secret!"

  Su Yun held the paper in her hand, and was dazzled by a big unfamiliar word on it. Finally, the three words "Non-Natural" turned into countless ones, violently impacting her nerves, and she stuttered, saying: "So there really is such a thing!"

  Lin Ming was amused by her emotions, and mysteriously said: "Of course! Not only China has it, but most major countries in the world have similar institutions! You know, there are many things that require special people to do, and there are many interesting things inside! How about it? Do you want to join us? I'll tell you all about it!"

  Su Yun's mind was stirred, and she asked: "What if the secret is leaked?" Lin Ming smiled: "Nothing will happen, it'll just evaporate into thin air!"

  Su Yun hastily shook her head and waved her hand, she really didn't want to know, nor did she want to join, she didn't want human evaporation! Lin Ming laughed even more happily, as if he had been waiting for her reaction. Suddenly, his smiling face turned serious, Lin Ming said solemnly: "However, I'm really inviting you to join us! Su Yun, you can consider it!"

  Su Yin was taken aback, not understanding, and asked: "Why?" Suddenly thinking of something, she vigilantly asked: "What do you know?" Lin Ming sneered with a smile: "I know that you have a very special pair of eyes!" Su Yin was as if struck by lightning, voicelessly asking: "How did you know?" Lin Ming's face turned wooden, he glanced at her sideways and said: "Is there something on your body? Take it out and take a look, then you'll understand!"

  Su Yun hesitated, then took out the sachet from her neck. As soon as it left her hand, everything in front of her blurred for a few seconds. When she could see clearly again, she was shocked.

  There were two black eyes staring at her, only two centimeters apart, and the thing was startled by her, then suddenly retreated. Soft and slender arms wrapped around Lin Ming's neck, greeting the still stunned Su Yun: "Hello, I'm An Tao!" Su Yun's soul had just settled, and after seeing An Tao's blurry and beautiful face, she immediately understood. "Is this your ghost messenger?" Lin Ming nodded: "Yes! I made a contract with An Tao!"

  The car slowed down and stopped, Lin Mingxu's long fingers stroked the sunglasses, saying lightly: "So, I have these eyes." Su Yin didn't understand: "Why?" Lin Ming didn't answer, got out of the car, Su Yin followed him down, and found that in front of her was a high-end residential area.

  Lin Ming beckoned her to follow him, and the two of them arrived at Guo Jian's house. This residential area was all independent courtyards, and now the entire courtyard was surrounded by yellow warning tape, prohibiting casual entry. Lin Ming led the way in, lifting up the tape, and Su Yin followed. Guo Jian was an artist, so the design of this courtyard was naturally good, with lush green trees and vibrant flowers blooming even in winter. The house was a European-style villa with a pointed roof, irregularly shaped, and brightly colored.

  She stepped on the wooden floor in front of the door, and by the window there was a rocking chair, a low table, with a vase on it, containing several wilted flower stems. Lin Ming opened the door, put the key into his pocket, and turned to her saying: "Do you know? Someone is very curious, without a key, how did you get into this house?"

  Su Yun was taken aback, but Lin Ming had already gone in. She quickly followed him, and Lin Ming walked familiarly, while Su Yun looked around, the house was decorated with a strong artistic flair, with a large floor-to-ceiling glass wall, white flower-patterned curtains hanging down to the ground, tightly wrapping around, making the originally classical-style house exude a eerie atmosphere.

  At a glance, Su Yun's gaze was fixed on it, and that was a clock tower, more than two meters high, very delicate and beautiful. She was inexplicably attracted to it, and after watching for half a while, she didn't come back to her senses. However, this clock seemed to be broken, the pendulum was stuck in the middle, motionless.

  "Suyin, over here." Lin Ming poked out half of his body and called her over. Suyin came back to herself and followed Lin Ming as he pulled her around the corner of the building. Behind her, a gust of wind from who-knows-where blew the originally still curtains into soft fluttering, lifting them high up before slowly letting them fall back down, revealing a pair of shoes hidden behind the curtains - blue with floral patterns, giving off a strong ethnic minority vibe.
