"So you're Deputy Chief Han, hello!"
When in Rome, do as the Romans do—since Zhang Ge has already said so, if I don’t call him Deputy Chief Han at this point, it would be a bit disappointing. Therefore, without thinking, I called him "Deputy Chief Han".
There's a saying, having connections makes things easier. Coincidentally, Captain Han is also in charge of the Baoshan area where our school is located. If I could maintain a good relationship with him, then if anything happens in the future, it would be just a word away. Just like when I wanted to see Feng Chen's body before, if I already knew Captain Han at that time, it would have been a piece of cake.
"Hey, don't listen to Little Zhang's nonsense, those are all unfinished matters..."
Although Captain Han said this, a hint of joy in his expression betrayed his true thoughts. Who doesn't like to hear flattering words?
"Heh, it's just a matter of time..."
After all, he is from the system, and for such flattery, Zhang Ge also seems to be well-versed, subconsciously saying, "Let's just wish you an early promotion..."
"Alright, let's not talk about these useless things."
With time pressing, Captain Han seemed to have no intention of chatting with us, and went straight to the point: "Xiao Wang, to be honest, the reason we repeated the trip is because we have a request!"
While talking, Captain Han even solemnly clasped his hands together, quite a bit of a chivalrous style.
"Oh?"
As I saw his serious look, I couldn't help but quickly suppress the smile on my face, I didn't speak, but quietly waited for his next words.
Captain Han quickly pulled Zhang aside and said, "You are one of the parties involved, so please explain the situation to Xiao Wang."
"Okay!"
Without any hesitation, Zhang quickly told me everything about the incident in great detail.
"What? There's actually something like this?"
After listening to Zhang's description, I couldn't help but be startled. According to his account, there were moments of "ghostly calls" and other strange occurrences. This clearly indicated the presence of malevolent spirits!
But this is unscientific! Even if Feng Chen felt like he died unjustly and was unwilling to accept it, it would still take at least seven days for him to potentially turn into a malevolent spirit and cause trouble. How could there be such a commotion just one day after his death?
It's puzzling, really quite puzzling...
"Huh?"
Seeing my astonished expression, Captain Han couldn't help but look surprised, and hastily said, "You don't know?"
With his question, I got confused. I thought to myself, how could I know when I wasn't there?
With a head full of confusion, I nodded and said, "I don't know..."
Captain Han furrowed his brows, puzzled, and asked, "Then why did you leave a talisman for Xiao Zhang in advance?"
Hearing this, I suddenly realized that it was because of the "protective talisman." Probably Captain Han thought I had seen something and that's why I gave Zhang a talisman.
He had no idea that I was just worried about my bad luck rubbing off on Zhang, so I gave him a "protective talisman" just in case.
So I said, "Well, today when I was talking with Zhang, I noticed a faint dark aura around his eyebrows, so I casually gave him a 'protective talisman.' As for what you guys said, I really had no inkling."
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Captain Han couldn't help but look dumbfounded. Before he came here, he thought I was some kind of "expert" who had seen through something in advance. But now, it turned out that it was all just a coincidence.
On the other hand, Zhang, upon hearing this, felt extremely moved and gave me a bear hug. "Good brother, I didn't misjudge you!"
"Um..."
I thought to myself: I hope you can still think that after you know my true identity...
"Well, then do you have any way to resolve the situation that just occurred?"
After pondering for a while, Captain Han couldn't help but ask persistently.
Just as he finished speaking, Zhang quickly chimed in, "Yeah, buddy! Our fellow officers are still waiting at the scene!"
"This..."
Seeing their hopeful expressions, I couldn't help but feel distressed.
Honestly, I really wanted to help them. After all, the involvement of malevolent spirits made this matter beyond the capabilities of regular police officers. Even if they had firearms, they would not be able to deal with it. This matter would require the expertise of someone like Old Zhang or Xia Xiaoyi...
Right!
This matter could be resolved with Xia Xiaoyi's help, right?
Thinking of this, I suddenly brightened up and said, "On my own, I'm definitely powerless in this matter! However, there's someone at the school who's much more capable than me! If we could get her help…"
"Where is she?"
Upon hearing this, both Captain Han and Zhang's eyes lit up. Without waiting for me to finish, they both asked in unison.
I instinctively looked in the direction where Xia Xiaoyi had disappeared, and then said with a troubled expression, "I really don't know..."
"Damn!"
If it weren't for seeking help, I think these two in front of me would probably want to curse.
Seeing their disappointed expressions, I quickly added, "But don't worry, she will come to find me tonight, so we can find her then!"
"But... do we have to wait until tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang and Captain Han's expressions did not improve, and Captain Han said, "We can't do that, the victim's body is still in the car. If we don't take it back to the station today, we won't be able to bear the responsibility..."
"Yeah!"
Zhang also nodded after listening, "We have explicit regulations at our station for such matters. If the body isn't taken back today, we won't be able to afford the consequences..."
Come to think of it, a murder case at the school, such a big matter, would definitely attract a lot of attention. It would be understandable if the case couldn't be solved quickly, but if the victim's body couldn't be promptly taken back to the police station, it would indeed be hard to justify.
"Alright then!"
Looking at their troubled expressions, I remained silent for nearly a minute, then gritted my teeth and said, "I'll go with you to take a look. If the opponent isn't formidable, I'll help you resolve it on the spot! If not, we'll have to wait till tonight…"
"Alright, that's great!"
Han Captain had come to ask me to go with them, so naturally, he was delighted to hear this. He hurriedly opened the door of the police car and said, "No time to lose, let's go right away!"
"Okay! Let me go back and get something first!"
This was my first time going out alone, and I was actually quite nervous, so I needed to prepare well. Luckily, I still had Old Zhang's equipment in my room, bringing them along would also help bolster my courage.
"Alright! I'll drive you there!"
Back in my shabby room, I directly found a package that Old Zhang had left under my bed. When I opened it, I found quite a few good items, such as a peach wood sword, talismans, and all sorts of things, it was truly a dazzling array.
Without time to look at them closely, I took them all out and threw them onto the backseat of the police car. Before leaving, I also left a note for Xia Xiaoyi, with a few simple instructions and my address, asking her to quickly accompany me after reading it. Then, I hurried with Zhang and the others to the scene of the incident.
Zhang's driving skills are not bad, and the distance wasn't very far, so it only took us a dozen minutes to arrive at the scene.
Before getting off the car, I hurriedly searched through Lao Zhang's bag and found three "life talismans". I put one on myself, and gave the other two to Zhang and Captain Han, telling them to keep them close.
Strictly speaking, "life talismans" are actually a kind of protective charm. They can simulate the breath of a living person. If there's a malevolent spirit haunting, it will attack the "life talisman" first, giving the wearer more time to escape.
If something really happens, this thing can save lives.
"Ah? Only three is not enough, what about the others?"
Taking the "life talisman" I handed over, Captain Han seemed a bit hesitant. As the team leader, he not only had to consider his own safety, but also the safety of his colleagues.
"Sigh, no other way!"
Shrugging, I also looked helpless: "There are only three in here."
"It's okay, we're just here to take a look, there may not necessarily be an accident. We can ask the others to step back later," Captain Han said.
"Okay!"
Hearing this, Captain Han could only nod helplessly. After that, he led me and Zhang out of the police car.
"Captain!"
As soon as we got off the car, several police officers surrounded us in a panic, saying, "Something bad has happened!"
