"It’s over, I didn’t scare him too much, did I?"
Li Shang watched him flee in panic, feeling a bit worried.
Just a mont ago, she got carried away without realizing it, now thinking back it seed a bit excessive.
But she really didn’t do it on purpose.
Staying in this environnt felt like sothing inside her was being summoned, she couldn’t resist it.
As if she had done sothing wrong, she walked back to Mu Yunchu’s side, her voice sowhat cautious, "Did I cause trouble?"
The problem is, if she harms ordinary people, the matter escalates to another level.
That’s why she’s so worried now.
But Mu Yunchu’s response surprised her.
"It’s fine."
Fine?
"That person is no good."
Li Shang: ???
As the two were conversing, suddenly a figure erged from so corner, followed by the second scream they heard tonight since entering here.
"Help!"
"There’s a dead body!"
Li Shang was still puzzled.
Considering the haunted hospital the, isn’t it normal to have dead bodies?
Why make such a big fuss?
In the next second, the entire haunted house lit up.
Instantly, all the scenes appeared clearly before their eyes.
When it was dark, the space felt quite large, but it turned out to be rather ordinary when lit.
Mostly, it’s the winding paths that give the illusion of a long route.
At this mont, not only did Li Shang and the others feel bewildered, but even the other staff mbers in the scene were utterly confused.
No one knew what had happened.
But they felt a deep-seated fear of the impending bad event.
"What’s going on, why is it lit up?"
"Huh? Did I just hear soone shout sothing? Dead body? What dead body?"
Living in such conditions for so long, these thrilling words have beco commonplace in their lives.
To them, dead bodies, corpses, severed hands, and so on... are all props.
However, this ti, the situation seed off.
The person dressed as a doctor had returned unknown when. As he was searching for the problem bewilderedly, he inadvertently raised his gaze.
Just one look, he stood frozen.
Wide-eyed, mouth agape, he wanted to utter sothing but couldn’t say a word.
"Uh uh... dead, dead..."
"Clang!"
Before finishing his words, he fainted directly.
Only then did everyone realize sothing was wrong.
Including Mu Yunchu, everyone followed his gaze upward.
They saw what everyone feared.
It was the so-called ’dead body.’
Not the haunted house props, but a real blood-soaked corpse.
It was a young woman, hanging from the ceiling beam, wearing the haunted house costu. Although there was no wind, when they looked at her, her body swayed slightly.
In the blink of an eye, nothing changed again, making one doubt if it was an illusion.
"Wow..."
Li Shang expressed complex sentints in one sentence.
Soone called the police, today’s amusent park turned exceptionally lively.
When the police cars arrived at the park, the staff in the hall surrounded by so-called rights-protecting tourists saw them as saviors.
Because clearly, it was not the amusent park’s fault, yet these tourists demanded refunds furiously.
The staff refused, and the tourists resorted to various disgusting thods.
With no choice left, they had to call the police, or else the scene could not be controlled.
Just as they managed to send soone out the back door to receive the police, they learned the officers were here to handle a murder case.
Unsurprisingly, Mu Yunchu t Zhou Zhicheng again.
"Captain Zhou, what a coincidence."
After taking control of the scene, Zhou Zhicheng arranged for soone to take statents.
Upon seeing Mu Yunchu, he hesitated briefly.
"This is quite the coincidence."
If it were anyone else, Zhou Zhicheng might have implied sothing with that sentence.
But since it’s Mu Yunchu, he genuinely thought it was a coincidence they t here.
Because he could guarantee, the murder had nothing to do with Mu Yunchu.
The two exchanged so pleasantries, and Mu Yunchu’s gaze inadvertently fell on the person doing the preliminary examination of the corpse, asking suspiciously, "Where is Wen Xu?"
Mu Yunchu asking about Wen Xu caught Zhou Zhicheng a bit off guard.
Zhou Zhicheng took a mont to react.
"Ah," he frowned as if recalling what Wen Xu had recently gone through. Since Mu Yunchu wasn’t an outsider, being one of the police team, Zhou didn’t hide it.
"The day you two separated, he had a car accident on his way back."
"Car accident?"
"Yes." Zhou Zhicheng lowered his voice, "I suspect it might be revenge."
"And after he was admitted to the hospital, he received a threatening letter."
Zhou Zhicheng told Mu Yunchu in such detail due to his ulterior motives.
He thought, if Mu Yunchu could foresee sothing, maybe these potential dangers Wen Xu faced could be solved.
"Actually, just before, our police departnt encountered a case."
The case was sowhat special; when the victim was found, her parents adamantly said they didn’t want to find the killer, didn’t want to pursue.
They even claid, as parents, they have the right to give up finding the perpetrator of their child’s murder.
Talking about them made Zhou Zhicheng’s face show unstoppable contempt.
It’s said parents love their kids most; he rarely saw people like this.
"We felt sothing was off at the ti."
When most of the murder evidence pointed to the victim’s ex-boyfriend, Wen Xu overca pressure to perform an autopsy on the victim.
The parents made quite a fuss.
But according to the law, for bodies dying of unnatural causes, the police have the authority to perform autopsies.
Even parents can’t deprive their child’s human rights.
They actually found critical evidence.
The murderer was a wealthy second-generation, very influential.
Be it money or other aspects.
It’s not hard to guess why the victim’s parents insisted on giving up the hunt for the murderer.
"Finally, we gathered enough evidence to arrest him."
There was too much involved, too complex.
Though it was a light sentence, the hidden difficulties were known only to those who experienced them.
Even in the later stages of the investigation, so bigwigs pressured them.
Mu Yunchu jumped in, "So you suspect the car accident and warning letter are the work of the murderer’s family?"
"Yes."
Zhou Zhicheng admitted straightforwardly.
Then he turned the conversation, "I even think today’s case can’t be unrelated to them."
