Chapter 234: A Ghost
The cleaner auntie??Xiao Rui frowned. “Was she a fair and fat woman who had her hair in a bun?”
Qiao Qing shook and then nodded her head. “I can’t really remember but I suppose so.”
“That should be Auntie Qin. Now that I think about it, she is indeed suspicious. We have come across her way too often in this case.”
When they first arrived at 22 High School, Auntie Qin was cleaning the corridor. When questioned, Jia Han also told the police that it was Auntie Qin who suggested him to sneak the medicine into the milk teas.
At the time, Xiao Rui merely thought this was a kind cleaning lady who cared about the students. She was only giving suggestions out of good intentions. But with Qiao Qing’s testimony, things didn’t seem so simple anymore. If Auntie Qin was the murderer, then she would know about the poison on the straws and the resealed traces on the packaging. It would explain why she was so quick to pick up the packaging Wei Lan dropped.
Xiao Rui stood up and left through the door.
…
The police chief, Fu Yue was pacing anxiously.
“Chief Fu, I heard that you’ve been suppressing the kid Xiao Rui very hard!” A man sat on the sofa, drinking tea.
“Ha ha, Chief Ma, let’s not stand on ceremony, you can call me Xiao Fu.”
“Hmph, Fu Yue, don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. The kid is indeed capable we both know the kind of problem he will create. I hope you have not forgotten how the previous team leader was eliminated.” Then Chief Ma dropped a document on the table and his voice turned cold. “This time, the incident happened at Jing Mao but it is only 1 street away from your district, De Hui. If you insist on working the case, then it’s yours.”
I never ask for this.?Fu Yue cursed internally.?Of course, there’s no way I can reject this either.
“Ha ha, Chief Ma, of course, I’m willing to help you. As part of the law enforcement, we should work together.”
When Fu Yue’s hands reached for the document, Chief Ma placed his hands pressed on the document. “Of course, there’s one more thing…” Listening to Chief Ma, Fu Yue’s expression turned more and more serious.
…
“Search every house, we mustn’t let her escape.” Xiao Rui brought Mo Li directly to Auntie Qin’s house. They had looked for her everywhere at school but she couldn’t be found. Based on witness testimony, Auntie Qin had missed work for days already. They stormed into her home but she wasn’t there either.
“Boss, I heard from a neighbor that they have a small warehouse nearby. Each household is entitled to a storeroom. Could Meng Qin be hiding there?”
Xiao Rui glared at Kang Zhi, “Well, why are we still standing here?” The group rushed to the warehouse. As Kang Zhi was about to break down the door, Xiao Rui pulled Mo Li behind him and said, “You better stay back.”
After the door was knocked down, they were struck by a strong smell of blood. Some kind of ritual was being conducted inside the storeroom. There were strange symbols written on the wall with blood, white candles, incense burners, bells, as well as a bubbling pot.
Meng Qin who was cooking at the pot was startled by the sudden disturbance. When she saw them, she suddenly jumped up and mumbled to herself, “Why are you stopping me? Why? One more, just one more…” Xiao Rui signaled for his people to grab the madwoman.
Kang Zhi was moving forward when Meng Qin suddenly pounced on him. Kang Zhi was frightened by what she saw. Because behind Meng Qin, a female ghost had materialized.
Even Xiao Rui was dumbstruck.?This Meng Qin really has the ability to summon ghost? This lady in white is her familiar?
Kang Zhi retreated but he was blocked by the ghost. Then a ghastly claw pressed into his shoulder. The ghost’s fingernails were very long. They cut into Kang Zhi’s flesh.
Xiao Rui immediately rushed over to save Kang Zhi. But he felt a sudden pain. The female ghost had teleported behind him. She grabbed his forearm and her nails stabbed into his flesh like blades.
The other officers were feared seeing the blood pour out from Xiao Rui and Kang Zhi’s wound. This was the first time they encountered an actual ghost killing someone. It was too terrifying.
