Street Hustler and H Chapter 44: Unclean Thing!

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Unclean Thing!

Luo Dali’s words left Chen Xiao stunned.

Last night, Luo Dali actually went to Swallow Lane!

Where did he get the courage?

That’s the place he’s been repeatedly warned not to go!

Before Chen Xiao could ask, Luo Dali spoke with lingering fear, "Last night, I really drank too much with my old man. As I drank, I only felt like I was full of courage. Then, the more I rembered you telling

not to go to Swallow Lane, the more restless I beca, and the more I couldn’t resist going to take a look."

Seeing Luo Dali’s frightened ghostly deanor while speaking, Chen Xiao wanted to slap him twice.

But Chen Xiao didn’t move or interrupt.

Sure enough, Luo Dali ntioned sothing that shocked Chen Xiao even more.

"Last night, when I walked to Swallow Lane, I wasn’t scared at all. Especially when the alcohol hit, I wanted to see if the dream would co true. I even thought at the ti, if I really found the shadow in the dream that wanted to skin , I’d fight it three hundred rounds! But, but I didn’t expect I actually saw sothing unclean!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao quickly asked, "What’s an unclean thing?"

"A ghost!"

"A female ghost!"

"With disheveled hair, in the kitchen of an abandoned house! At that ti, she was floating around the stove! It was seeing that female ghost that instantly sobered

up, and I ran straight to your house!"

After saying that, Luo Dali still clutched his chest, looking genuinely frightened from last night.

Chen Xiao stared at him, frowned, and asked, "Did you make any noise at the ti?"

"Ah? I... I wanted to shout, but my throat felt like it was being choked, and I swallowed it back."

"Do you still rember which house it was now?"

"Of course I rember, it’s the second row directly opposite 314."

"How did you even find your way to the second row?"

"How should I know, last night I really drank happily with my old man, at least more than a pound!"

Chen Xiao fell silent, deep in thought.

"Last night Dali went to Swallow Lane and saw a female ghost in one of the abandoned houses? I don’t believe it’s a ghost, but who would be in that abandoned house so late?"

"Could it be Su Ting?"

This information seed very important to Chen Xiao, who felt it necessary to inform Zhang Xian.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao took out his phone and called Zhang Xian.

The latter answered, "Calling

right after leaving the criminal investigation departnt, is there good news?"

"Yes, I went to the hospital to see Dali, and he told

he went to Swallow Lane last night!"

"What? He went to Swallow Lane? What did he see?"

"He said he ran into a ghost!"

"Nonsense, where would ghosts co from in this world?" Zhang Xian cursed directly.

Of course Chen Xiao knew he wasn’t being cursed, but Zhang Xian’s words left him stunned.

Chen Xiao certainly didn’t know if ghosts exist, and if there were, he’d probably be the most mysterious ghost in this world.

"Captain Zhang, where they co from isn’t important, what’s important is that Dali saw a female ghost," Chen Xiao revealed the most shocking news.

Zhang Xian wasted no ti and asked, "Who do you think that female ghost is?"

Huh?

Zhang Xian’s prompt response made Chen Xiao suspicious.

Shouldn’t he instinctively think of Su Ting, just like ?

Could Su Ting prove she wasn’t at Swallow Lane?

Before Chen Xiao could ask, Zhang Xian proactively said, "I’ve already checked, Su Ting was in the dormitory from evening until we summoned her yesterday."

"Are you sure? She should have evening classes, how could she be in the dormitory?"

"You’re attentive, but she was unwell yesterday, so she stayed in the dormitory resting after school in the afternoon."

"Who can prove she never left the dormitory?"

"The dorm aunt asked about her illness, and classmates from other classes saw her go to the bathroom. After evening classes, her roommates saw her in bed, the ti was around ten at night."

Chen Xiao didn’t argue anymore.

Because Zhang Xian’s investigation sufficiently proved that Su Ting didn’t leave school last night.

But if it wasn’t Su Ting, then who was the "female ghost" Luo Dali spoke of?

The conversation fell silent for a mont before Zhang Xian said, "I’ll co to the hospital to find you."

"No need, let’s go to Swallow Lane together, to the house where Dali saw the ghost."

"Alright, let’s et at Swallow Lane."

Ending the call, Chen Xiao said to Luo Dali, "I need to take a trip to Swallow Lane, you stay here and rest well."

Luo Dali nodded repeatedly, "Go ahead, I won’t run around anymore."

Without responding, Chen Xiao imdiately went downstairs and quickly headed to Swallow Lane on his motorcycle.

Although their modes of transportation were different, Chen Xiao and Zhang Xian almost arrived at their destination simultaneously.

Upon eting, they didn’t waste any ti, Chen Xiao directly led Zhang Xian to the house ntioned by Luo Dali.

It was another deserted small building with two floors. Like the building 314, it hadn’t been officially demolished yet, but the original owners took all the valuables.

When opening the front door, Zhang Xian couldn’t help but glance at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao squinted and said, "There’s surprisingly no musty sll in this house!"

"I originally wanted to see if you noticed, didn’t expect your mind to always be sharp."

Chen Xiao chuckled, "It’s a serious mont, and Captain Zhang is probing ?"

"There’s a mysterious vibe about you, very strange... But don’t worry, I’m only curious about your attitude toward the case."

"Hmm, Dali said he saw the female ghost outside the kitchen, let’s go directly to the kitchen."

Zhang Xian silently followed behind.

As soon as entering the kitchen, Zhang Xian frowned deeply.

His frown wasn’t because the kitchen had an obvious issue, but because it was no different than any abandoned kitchen.

Dust covered everything, and cobwebs were everywhere.

However, at this point, Chen Xiao pointed at the ground.

Zhang Xian asked puzzledly, "What’s wrong with the ground?"

"No footprints, no tracks of movent," Chen Xiao spoke heavily.

Zhang Xian instantly frowned.

No footprints, no movent tracks, it’s obviously odd.

Luo Dali witnessed, from outside the window, a female ghost floating around the stove.

Are there ghosts in this world? The one in the kitchen must be human!

But if it’s human, why are there no footprints? Even if wearing shoe covers, tracks will be left!

No tracks can deceive a policeman’s eyes!

Yet now there are none, not a single trace!

The entire kitchen remained in a long-abandoned state!

Staring at the floor for a while, Zhang Xian turned to Chen Xiao and asked, "Do you think there might really be ghosts in this world? Or was Dali too drunk last night?"
