Chapter 220: Chapter 218: Don’t Know! Don’t Know! Still Don’t Know!

When the red-dressed ghost was mentioned, Zhao Jinde’s face noticeably turned a few shades paler, and the fear in his eyes was significantly magnified.

Ma, lying on the hospital bed next door, was shivering, cold sweat dripping down.

After swallowing hard, Zhao Jinde continued, "Everyone present at the time was scared stiff by this red-dressed ghost."

"Everyone just stood there, not daring to move."

"Only that man with a sharp face and monkey-like features was brave enough to open his mouth and ask the red-dressed ghost, ’Who are you...’"

"But just then, Brother Yang, who was initially standing among us, suddenly disappeared!"

"As we were looking for Brother Yang’s figure, I suddenly noticed that the red-dressed ghost on the archway had also vanished."

"I looked around, searching for her trace, and finally saw her behind that sharp-faced, monkey-featured man!"

"This was our first close encounter with the female ghost!"

"She had no feet, nor a shadow, her whole body just floated in the air..."

At this point, Zhao Jinde couldn’t help but shiver.

"The few of us were scared to the brink of mental collapse!"

"The sharp-faced, monkey-featured man and others seemed to go crazy, rolling and crawling, trying to run outside."

"Ma and I also wanted to escape, but unfortunately, our legs were so weak with fear that they refused to obey our brains."

"Then, we saw the red-dressed ghost first toss the sharp-faced, monkey-featured man onto a tree, and then throw those two tall youths into the tombstones."

"Finally, the red-dressed ghost lifted the hair in front of her face, revealing a ghostly face that looked like it was smeared with white paint."

"Black blood was constantly flowing from her mouth."

"Her eyes lacked pupils, just frighteningly white... and then Ma and I fainted from fear."

"What happened afterward, I’ve no idea at all..."

Zhao Jinde, shivering all over, finally recounted last night’s experience completely.

After listening, everyone present frowned.

Isn’t it said that there are no ghosts in this world?

Why did Zhao Jinde and the others happen to encounter a ghost?

If one or two people saw a ghost, they could at least say it was a hallucination.

But this time, including Zhao Jinde and Ma, it was seven people!

"Captain Zhang, Brother Yang, do you think Ma and I encountered a ghost?"

Zhao Jinde asked the others.

"Well... it’s hard to say!"

Yang Qingshu scratched his head, finding it difficult to answer.

After all, he wasn’t there at the time and didn’t know the exact situation.

"Zhao, Ma, don’t worry. We’ll definitely get to the bottom of this!"

"Don’t overthink, just rest well." In the quiet hospital room, Captain Zhang spoke with a smile.

"Okay!"

Zhao Jinde could only nod.

If it were an ordinary case, he trusted the police would get to the truth.

But last night, it involved "a ghost," after all!

They chatted a bit more about other things.

Nearing noon, Yang Qingshu waved goodbye to Zhao Jinde and Ma, leaving the hospital with Lu Heng and Song Qing.

After exiting the hospital, Yang Qingshu lit a cigarette, his brows furrowed.

"Xiaoqing, you go ahead and bring the car. I’ll chat with Qingfeng for a bit."

Yang Qingshu said, handing the car keys to Song Qing.

Song Qing nodded without asking much, took the keys, and turned to leave.

Watching her distant figure, Yang Qingshu murmured, "Junior brother, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"

"No!"

Lu Heng shook his head straightforwardly.

"I didn’t believe it either at first!"

Yang Qingshu blew a smoke ring, his expression grave, "But I feel this time, things are too strange!"

"I just asked Captain Zhang, in that group of DM thieves’ confessions, they mentioned me too."

"But you know, we were together at that time. How could I have told stories to Zhao Jinde and them?"

"That story about Bo Wantian and Chu Renmei, it’s the first time I’ve heard it too."

"But I must say, the story isn’t bad. I’m thinking of investing to make it into a web movie..."

As he spoke, Yang Qingshu veered the conversation elsewhere.

"Second brother, we’re talking about ghosts here!"

"Aren’t you afraid that after you make the movie, you might actually draw that red-dressed ghost over?"

Lu Heng joked.

"Damn! I almost forgot about that!"

"If I really draw that red-dressed ghost over, I’m afraid I won’t be as strong as Zhao Jinde and Ma!"

Yang Qingshu smacked his forehead, taking a deep breath.

"Weren’t you once a Daoist? How can you still be afraid of ghosts?"

Lu Heng reminded.

Anyway, Yang Qingshu is the second disciple of the current Sect Leader of Shangqing Tao on Dragon Tiger Mountain, quite a background!

"Haha!"

Hearing this, Yang Qingshu couldn’t help but laugh self-deprecatingly, "Others don’t know, but don’t you?"

"I was always slacking off and lazy back on the mountain."

"I bet Master finds it embarrassing to even mention me!"

"If it weren’t for my grandfather and father’s sake, I probably would have been expelled."

"I’m destined to be an ordinary person, never fated with ’the Tao’!"

As they spoke, Song Qing had already driven the car over.

"Let’s go, we can talk later."

Yang Qingshu beckoned Lu Heng to get in the car, heading to the restaurant for lunch.

...

In the police office, Captain Zhang was reviewing the seven transcripts in front of him.

These seven transcripts were from Zhao Jinde, Ma, and the five in Wang Changqing’s group.

Regarding last night’s ghost encounter, the descriptions from all seven were nearly identical.

The seven all emphasized two points.

The first point was the female ghost in a bright red wedding dress, suspected to be named "Chu Renmei."

The origins of this female ghost were unknown.

After multiple confirmations, it’s certain she had nothing to do with Li Family Village.

Her specific abilities were also unclear.

What can be confirmed is that she can teleport in the blink of an eye from afar to close by.

And she possesses immense strength, able to throw two nearly two-hundred-pound men effortlessly.

The second point is "Yang Qingshu!"

Of course, this "Yang Qingshu" was not the real Yang Qingshu.

This "Yang Qingshu" seemed very familiar with the real Yang Qingshu, enough to perfectly impersonate him.

The story of Bo Wantian and Chu Renmei was also told by him.

Why did he tell this story?

Unknown!

What is his real identity?

Unknown!

What’s his relationship with the ghost Chu Renmei?

Also unknown!

The more Captain Zhang thought, the deeper he felt trapped in a fog.

No extra leads at all, where could he begin the investigation?

"Knock knock knock!"

At that moment, the office door was knocked on.

"Come in!"

Captain Zhang closed the transcripts, rubbing his eyes that felt a bit sore.

With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open from outside, and a bespectacled policewoman poked her head in.

"Ah Zhu, what’s up?"

Captain Zhang asked quizzically.

The policewoman replied with a smile, "Captain Zhang, officers from other cities’ teams have come over, saying they want to investigate Li Changqing’s case together."

"Alright then!"

Captain Zhang nodded helplessly.

It seems this ghost issue will have to be put on hold for now...
