Chapter 567: Chapter 567: The Missing Male Corpse _1
In order to save Lv Yong, everyone had exhausted all their efforts.
Ye You fell into unconsciousness due to exhaustion of his spiritual power, Lan Di and Qing ng clashed with the ssenger of Death. Qing ng was injured, and in the end, they successfully eliminated the nace of Brother Bao.
As the saying goes, fearing not the thief stealing but the thief constantly scheming.
Brother Bao was intent on taking revenge on Lv Yong. Although he had been unsuccessful for ten years, it didn’t an he would never succeed.
If one day in the future, Lv Yong carelessly fell into Brother Bao’s sights, given the degree of Bao Brother’s hatred towards him, he would absolutely not let him off.
These words couldn’t be explained too clearly to Lv Yong, hence Qin Sisi also wouldn’t mind Lv Yong’s distrust.
After seeing off Ning Hao and Lv Yong, Qin Sisi returned to her bedroom to look after Ye You.
As soon as Lv Yong’s body was healed, Ye You fell into a deep sleep. Despite her confidence in Ye You, Qin Sisi couldn’t help but be worried.
Fortunately, the next day, Ye You finally woke up. Although he still looked quite weak, he could eat and talk normally. He could even create a barrier for Qin Sisi to practice magic.
However, when Qin Sisi wasn’t paying attention, a hint of unease flashed in Ye You’s eyes.
This ti, once again forcibly activated the Magic Source, resulting in further damage to the already damaged Magic Source. The cracks on it had extended outwards a bit.
He had to be extra careful when using magic in the future. There were just over three months left, he needed to persevere.
Because of Ye You’s condition, Qin Sisi stayed at ho with him to rest for several days, not going out to look for ghosts.
During these days, Qin Sisi had ample ti to practice magic. The power of the Fire Bomb she released was getting stronger and stronger. It could basically cause vibrations in Ye You’s barrier every ti.
Ye You nodded in satisfaction, encouraged her, "If you keep practicing like this, you’ll be almost there in half a month."
Qin Sisi was very pleased. She could personally sense the gradual progress and it always made her very satisfied.
She squatted in front of Ye You, gently stroked his body with her palm, and asked with concern, "How about you? Are you feeling better?"
Ye You responded with a loud voice, "Much better. Let’s go and look for ghosts tomorrow night!"
The imdiate priority was to collect Soul Power. There was no need to inform Qin Sisi about the damage to the Magic Source, it would only make her worry unnecessarily, and possibly affect her magic practice.
Upon hearing that Ye You was better, Qin Sisi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The two agreed and prepared to resu their mission tomorrow night.
Ning Hao had already dived back into his intense work. Lv Yong felt a little weak and took two days off before going to work. As soon as he returned to work, he was assigned to lead an investigation into a series of murders.
The case had initially been handled by two other teams, but after the investigations revealed that it was complicated, the three cases were combined for investigation. Lv Yong with his rich experience was appointed as the team leader, and Ning Hao was one of the team mbers.
All three victims were young, attractive, fashionable won. The killer’s modus operandi was similar, making contact with the victims at bars, and then leaving with them.
Surveillance footage revealed that the sa tall, well-built, handso man had taken away all three victims.
The first step in the investigation was naturally a door-to-door enquiry.
Cut out the image of the man from the surveillance video, printed it, and took the picture to inquire around the bar, looking for potential witnesses.
Everyone was exhausted on the first day of the inquiry, but they yielded nothing.
The inquiry continued on the second day, and in the afternoon, two officers ca back, reporting they had found a lead.
However, when Lv Yong asked them to report their findings, the two officers looked at each other and hesitated.
Tiredness and anxiety made Lv Yong lose his temper. He slamd the desk and scolded sternly, "What are you doing? It’s just a report, why are you hesitating? Do you still want to work?"
Seeing the leader get angry, the two officers plucked up the courage to report the information they had inquired.
Upon hearing this, Lv Yong couldn’t help but feel a chill running down his spine.
Apparently, these two had shown a photograph of the suspect to an elderly couple out for a walk. The couple’s faces changed when they saw the picture. They repeatedly asked the officers why they were looking for their son.
The two officers were excited to hear this information and imdiately asked the elderly couple where their son was now.
The elderly couple replied that their son had died in an accident half a month ago. There was so dispute about the compensation, so his body had not been buried yet and was kept in the morgue.
At this point, the two officers didn’t feel anything strange. The world is full of people who look alike, and the picture from the security video wasn’t particularly clear. Maybe the elderly couple had mistaken the man for their son.
But the old couple were very sure, insisting that the man in the picture was their son and asked the police not to tarnish their son’s innocence.
In the end, the old couple invited the two officers to the morgue to prove their son’s innocence.
The two officers, seeing the old couple’s determination, were a little hesitant, but they went along with them.
In the end, they arrived at the morgue, explained the situation to the manager, and opened the refrigerator corresponding to the number given. They found it empty.
Everyone was shocked. Once they recovered, the old couple demanded the morgue to return their son’s body, while the morgue quickly summoned personnel to inquire about the situation and review surveillance footage, causing turmoil.
The two officers had no choice but to temporarily act as diators, helping to calm the couple down.
Only after the morgue assured them of a proper explanation did the two officers take the elderly couple ho. They then hurried back to report to Lv Yong.
Lv Yong too was silent. The main suspect in the murder case that had been happening during the past week had died half a month ago?
If the body was intact and still at the morgue, it could be that the old couple misidentified the person.
But the body mysteriously vanished.
What’s the connection between the serial murders and the disappearance of the male corpse?
Or, is it just a coincidence?
The two officers, seeing Lv Yong’s silence, felt uneasy.
The younger officer, whether he was trying to make a joke to ease the mood or was really scared, laughed nervously and said, "You’d think... could it be that the man, dissatisfied after his death, turned into a ghost and ran out to take revenge on society?"
"Nonsense!" Lv Yong scolded, "That’s enough. Get out. It must be those two old people recognising the wrong person. Continue the door-to-door interviews tomorrow."
Neither of the two dared to speak further and hastily left Lv Yong’s office.
But, the words of the younger officer stirred ripples in Lv Yong’s heart.
Ghosts?
Do they really exist in this world?
After much hesitation, Lv Yong finally picked up his phone and dialed Ning Hao’s number.
