In the villa, apart from Yang Jian, Zhang Wei, Zhang Xiangu, and Aunt Huang, there was indeed a fifth person.
That person had been hiding among them, a lingering ghost.
No amount of words could compare to seeing it with one's own eyes.
Zhang Xiangu had indeed seen it with the mirror. There was another person in the room, but this person could only be seen through the mirror and not with the naked eye.
If it weren't for Yang Jian sitting here calmly, Zhang Xiangu would have taken his son and lover and fled long ago.
"Saw it?"
Seeing Zhang Xiangu's sudden change in expression, Yang Jian knew that he had confird it.
Zhang Xiangu's face looked particularly ugly, feeling a chill all over his body. He began to feel restless, with an urge to leave imdiately.
"Uncle Zhang, there's no need to panic. Even if you panic, it won't help. There's no need to think about escaping imdiately. That thing has been following Zhang Wei everywhere he goes. It's useless no matter where he goes. For now, that ghost doesn't pose a great threat. Just don't get too close to the mirror," Yang Jian reminded.
"Can you solve this?" Zhang Xiangu asked nervously.
Yang Jian said, "Not at the mont. No one in this world can guarantee the resolution of a supernatural event. Even soone with extensive experience can't do it. The horror of ghosts is unpredictable. Currently, this ghost hasn't started killing people, which is the best news."
"I ca here to investigate. How did that ghost attach itself to Zhang Wei? Has Zhang Wei had any strange experiences recently? Has he encountered anything unusual? If he had stayed at ho all the ti, the chances of encountering a ghost would be slim. Even if he did encounter one, it wouldn't be likely to linger," Zhang Xiangu said, deeply furrowing his brows.
"How can you be sure?" Yang Jian asked, puzzled.
Zhang Xiangu replied, "The ghost wasn't encountered at ho. It was encountered at the construction site. I took him there a few days ago."
"How can you be certain?" Yang Jian asked.
Zhang Xiangu said, "The construction site has been shut down recently, and there have been cases of missing workers. I saw that thing just now, and it was wearing the work clothes from the construction site. That's why I can be sure it ca from there."
"I see."
Yang Jian nodded, "That does seem very likely."
Zhang Xiangu was quick to remain calm. If he beca a ghost tar, he would definitely have great potential.
The most important thing when dealing with fierce ghosts was to have a calm mind and be able to analyze important information from any inconspicuous clues.
"Although you are Zhang Wei's classmate, there are so things that are not convenient to say. But this matter concerns Zhang Wei's life, and I only have one son, so I hope you can help. Of course, I won't let you help for nothing. As long as Zhang Wei is safe, you can na your price," Zhang Xiangu said seriously. "As long as I can afford it, I won't frown."
To him, people were more important than money.
And Zhang Xiangu felt that since he was so generous, Yang Jian wouldn't have the audacity to ask for an impossible price.
"Dad, what do you an? Brother Tui doesn't lack money now. You can't use money to humiliate others. You can't let others think that we're great just because we have so money. Isn't that what you've always taught ?" Zhang Wei said.
Yang Jian looked at him strangely.
Who the fuck said I don't lack money?
I've been working my ass off for money. How could you, a rich second generation, understand the bitterness?
"This matter is different from other supernatural events. It's sowhat special. I'll try to help first since we're friends. After all, I can't just watch Zhang Wei die," Yang Jian said.
"Thank you so much," Zhang Xiangu said gratefully. "When do you plan to start?"
"I've already started. Since the source is not in this house, we need to go to the construction site and take a look. If we can't find the source, this ghost will always be with us, and sothing will happen sooner or later," Yang Jian said.
"Then let's leave now. Xiao Huang, pack up and get ready to leave. We don't plan to co back here anymore. No, there's no need to pack. Let's go now," Zhang Xiangu hesitated for a mont and imdiately changed his mind.
Aunt Huang was stunned for a mont but nodded.
"It's okay. If there are any valuable things at ho, you can pack them. You probably won't dare to co back until this matter is resolved. And with here, nothing will happen," Yang Jian said.
"Then give ten minutes," Zhang Xiangu said.
He did have so important things at ho, not gold or silver jewelry, but so important docunts.
"Tui Ge, you stay here and watch over things. I'll go get sothing," Zhang Wei said.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen," Yang Jian said.
The ghost looked scary, but its abilities were actually quite weak. At the mont, it posed a low level of danger.
Soon, Zhang Xiangu ca out with a stack of docunts, and Aunt Huang brought a pile of jewelry. As for Zhang Wei, he took a few hard drives from the computer and didn't bring anything else."Let's go," Yang Jian said.
Soon, the group left in a car.
"Xiao Huang, you take these things back first. Keep them in the safe and co find at the construction site if there's anything," Zhang Xiangu said halfway, leaving his lover behind.
It was clear that he still trusted his little lover.
Afterwards, the three of them headed straight to his construction site.
However, at this mont.
In a bustling area of Da Chang City.
There was a bar here, with a sign that read: Rose Bar.
On regular days, this bar was bustling with people.
But because it was dayti, business was much slower.
And at this mont.
On the second floor of the bar, in a large private room.
A young man dressed in a police uniform, leaning on a golden cane, had a gloomy expression. "Wang Yue, you should be well aware of this. If Yang Jian doesn't die, it will eventually beco a problem for both of us. This kid has found another way to control a second ghost, which greatly delays the revival ti of the fierce ghost. Under the condition that he doesn't recklessly use the power of the fierce ghost, he can live for at least another year."
"For one year, the chances of him becoming the next international police officer of Da Chang City are very high. You wouldn't want to hand over the managent of a city to an eighteen-year-old kid, would you?"
Sitting on a large leather sofa, there was a man. He was tall and even in the hot weather, he was wrapped in a thick scarf. He smoked a cigar and had two beautiful young won in short skirts on either side of him.
His na was Wang Yue, the owner of this Rose Bar.
"Zhao Kaiming, you should know that Yang Jian is a problem for you, but not for ."
Wang Yue smiled, took a puff of his cigar, and pointed at himself. "I killed Yan Li and his family for you, which is already giving face to you as a police officer. When the previous police officer, Zhou Zheng, ca to , I wasn't this polite. Besides, it doesn't matter to who becos the next police officer."
He shook his cigar and blew out a smoke ring.
"You lost a leg in Yang Jian's hands, that's your business. Don't involve in the disputes between you police officers, okay?"
Zhao Kaiming leaned on his golden cane and limped over, his eyes filled with a sinister gaze. "You're already involved. Yang Jian wants to avenge Yan Li and his family, don't you know? Wang Xiaoqiang's club has already been destroyed by him, and a group of shareholders died, leaving only one nad Ma Youcai."
"Wang Xiaoqiang is no match for him. The Huanggang Village incident also caused Wang Xiaoqiang's club to lose five or six ghost tars. The only one who can stand up to him in his club is Ye Feng. The other two or three ghost tars are just small fries who can only control one ghost. They will definitely die when the fierce ghost revives, so they won't show up."
"If Ye Feng really makes a move against Yang Jian, at most it will be a one-on-one fight, with little chance of winning. So, if I guess correctly, Wang Xiaoqiang will definitely co to you for a talk."
"So you want to agree to Wang Xiaoqiang and join forces with Ye Feng to kill Yang Jian? Then you, the mastermind, can sit back and reap the benefits while we fight to the death?"
Wang Yue took a puff of his cigar, grinned, and pointed at his own head. "I'm not stupid, Zhao Kaiming. Don't treat like a fool. I've experienced several supernatural events in my life. Show so respect."
Zhao Kaiming stood by the window on the second floor, looking at the bustling street outside. "Such a good location, such a lively bar. It must be making a lot of money, right? It would be a pity if it were shut down."
"You can shut it down, I want to open a few more bars anyway. Do you think I rely on this to make money? I've made enough money during my ti as a ghost tar. The reason I opened this bar was just to have so fun with a few won," Wang Yue said, kissing one of the won in his arms.
"Boss Wang, I want so too," another woman coquettishly said.
"Alright, alright, alright, you all get a share. I like your coquettishness," Wang Yue chuckled.
Zhao Kaiming said, "A person who lacks foresight will have imdiate worries, Wang Yue. You agree to Wang Xiaoqiang's proposal, and I'll give you a hundred kilograms of gold, plus this entire comrcial street."
Wang Yue, who was flirting with the won, slightly narrowed his smile. "What if I don't agree?"
"Bang!"
In the next mont, a gunshot rang out.
The woman in his arms imdiately had her head blown apart, blood splattering everywhere.
"If you don't agree, this will be your fate."
Smoke rose from the gun in Zhao Kaiming's hand, his eyes filled with madness.
"Ah!"
The other woman beside him was stunned for a mont, then scread and ran out like crazy.
Wang Yue didn't stop her. He put down his cigar, wiped the blood off his face, and stood up expressionlessly. He looked like a beast about to go into a rage, growling from his throat, "Zhao Kaiming, do you want to die?""Yang Jian will not die. Sooner or later, I will die by his hands. I don't have much confidence in fighting him. He can unexpectedly disable one of my legs or even take my head. But when it cos to dealing with you, I think I have so confidence. Are you sure you want to go to war with for a woman? Think carefully before you act. I am an international criminal investigator. If you kill , you will be internationally wanted."
Zhao Kaiming narrowed his eyes, like a venomous snake.
"As a wanted criminal, the first thing Yang Jian will do when he takes over is to eliminate you. Even if he doesn't, the country will give the order, prioritizing the cri of violating human safety over supernatural events."
"You have no choice."
Wang Yue's breathing beca heavy, and his anger was about to erupt.
But reason stopped him.
Zhao Kaiming was right. Fighting him at this ti would bring no benefits, but instead would push him into a dead end.
However, agreeing to cooperate with him and Wang Xiaoqiang to deal with Yang Jian also made him unwilling.
He didn't want to get involved in the struggle between these ghost tars. Helping Zhao Kaiming kill Yan Li earlier was just to give face to this new police officer and avoid being disturbed.
Unexpectedly, Yan Li turned out to be a trap, and after dealing with him, he was dragged into this complicated struggle.
"Killing Yang Jian will make everything better. You will still be the underground boss of Dachang City. I can guarantee that this is the last ti I will ask for your help during my term. There won't be another ti." Zhao Kaiming said.
After thinking for a while, Wang Yue walked over with a stern face and punched him hard in the face.
Zhao Kaiming didn't resist and was knocked down to the ground, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Hehe, deal. Good luck to you both."
He struggled to stand up with his crutch, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"You should have died earlier. Compared to a human, you are more like a ghost."
Wang Yue picked up a bottle of champagne, took a sip, and then threw the bottle against the wall, causing it to explode with a bang. "Get lost. Don't let see you again."
Zhao Kaiming wiped off the splashed alcohol from his face and prepared to leave with his prosthetic leg. "Beware of the shadow under Yang Jian's feet, and his eyes. His file na is Ghost Eye Detective. That Ghost Eye must be very special, otherwise he wouldn't have survived the Huanggang Village incident. If possible, I suggest you imprison that Ghost Eye."
"Perhaps, this will be an unexpected gain for you on this trip."
"Get lost."
Wang Yue growled lowly, and the lights in the entire private room flickered and then went out, plunging everything into darkness.
Zhao Kaiming smiled and was about to leave when he saw the walls around him suddenly start to decay.
The wall paint quickly peeled off, and moss began to grow, emitting a foul sll.
Through the transparent glass of the private room door, he vaguely saw a tall and thin figure in a black robe standing outside.
"This, is this not your ability?" Zhao Kaiming turned his head and asked.
Wang Yue's face changed, and he imdiately turned and rushed towards the floor-to-ceiling window, looking outside at the street.
At this mont.
The street outside suddenly turned pitch black, and the light of the whole world was disappearing. Even the pedestrians and vehicles on the road had disappeared at so point. The darkness from all directions was like a thick fog constantly encroaching here.
Like the mouth of a monster, it wanted to devour everything in front of it.
"Of course, this is not my ability." Wang Yue said.
"Since it's not, it seems that we are unlucky today. This is a supernatural event... and it's a supernatural event targeting us." Zhao Kaiming slowly retreated from the doorway.
The tall and thin man in the black robe standing outside the door, without a doubt, was a ghost.
A real ghost.
"Thump, thump~!"
At the next mont, knocking sounds ca from outside the door.
Dull and oppressive, as if pounding on the heart, making it almost impossible to breathe.
"This... is Ghost Knocking?" Zhao Kaiming's eyes suddenly contracted.
He had heard the knocking sound before, during his conversation with Yang Jian today.
It was because he sensed the danger that he arranged for Wang Yue and Wang Xiaoqiang to cooperate so quickly, but he didn't expect to act so quickly and still encounter this supernatural event.
"What is Ghost Knocking?" Wang Yue asked.
Zhao Kaiming was not afraid, but rather calm. He said, "The supernatural event at Dachang City No. 7 High School, where an entire school of students was wiped out, and only seven lucky survivors escaped. Yang Jian was one of them. The supernatural event was nad Ghost Knocking by the International Criminal Police Departnt, with a horror level of A, a disaster level. By the way, the previous police officer, Zhou Zheng, also died at the high school."
"What? A disaster-level ghost?"
Wang Yue's face instantly beca ferocious. "Zhao Kaiming, you bastard, you've caused trouble for .""I'm sorry, I'm just as innocent as you are. Yang Jian seems to have so way of controlling this ghost-knocking-on-the-door incident, so the real enemy is him, not . Now is not the ti to be angry. We need to find a way to survive first. I don't need to remind you of the danger level of a ghost that can be classified as a disaster, do I?" Zhao Kaiming said.
"You son of a..."
Wang Yue was so angry he wanted to kill soone,
But the current situation didn't allow him to settle scores with Zhao Kaiming.
"Thump, thump thump~!"
The second round of knocking sounds rang out again.
