Chapter 404 - Yin Yang Delivery (10) (2/2)
This was a very recent case. As a Taoist master, Xie Hui shouldn’t have arrived so quickly.
“The little ghost said that something is gone?” Xie Hui didn’t answer her but asked her something too.
Ming Shu stood up. She bit her apple indifferently. “Why must I answer your questions? Are you my superior or my subordinate? I refuse to answer.”
She floated out after she finished speaking. Little Red followed her.
Xie Hui informed the person beside him and chased after Ming Shu. “You must have realized that this person’s death is not normal. This is the sixth case this month. Every victim had their stomach cut open. There is no weapon and… no spirit. The people that died are all living alone with no family.”
“Oh.” Ming Shu took a bite of her apple. “This is your business as well as the police’s business. What does it have to do with me?”
“Maybe it is related to the matter you are investigating.” Xie Hui heard Little Red say that the thing was gone. She was definitely looking for something.
Ming Shu paused and smiled. “So?”
Xie Hui replied, “Can you help to check if their spirits went to Hell or they disappeared?”
They wouldn’t know if the spirits went to Hell, but An Ge could check.
“Why must I help you?” Ming Shu answered. “How many tributes will you give me?”
Xie Hui: “…”
After Xie Hui promised Ming Shu that he would feed her, Ming Shu pulled a laptop out from thin air. Xie Hui was amazed. Hell was getting more and more advanced.
Will civil servants take a plane to work next time?
Ming Shu entered the names and dates of birth that Xie Hui provided. A colorful picture popped out. It was exactly the same as the company’s HR system.
However, the information on it was different. It wrote the birth and death date of the person as well as where they died, who they were in their past life, how many merits they had, as well as what they would be in their next life.
“Hell didn’t receive them and they didn’t disappear either. They are still in the human world.”
“Still in the human world? Why can’t I find them, then?” Xie Hui frowned.
Ming Shu settled two emails from Hell along the way. She smiled and continued, “You can’t manage it.”
Xie Hui: “…”
Don’t think that no one will hit you just because you keep smiling.
Xie Hui took a call. He hung up with a solemn expression. Soon after, he said to Ming Shu, “I will go and take a look first. You people from Hell should take notice of this thing too. I now you all don’t care about what happened before they die, but you should care about their life after death, right? So many spirits are missing. I will talk to you later.”
“Don’t forget my tributes.”
Xie Hui almost fell onto the floor. How can a civil servant accept such bribery? I must report her!
After Xie Hui left, Ling Yan appeared and looked at her coldly. “Have you started being a busybody now?”
Ming Shu kept the laptop. She raised her eyebrows and looked at him. “Why does it bother you? What is our relationship?”
Ling Yan sneered. The temperature of the air around them plunged to freezing point. Ice started to form on the ground. He warned Ming Shu, “An Ge, you better not investigate this matter.”
Ming Shu walked toward him. The ice on the ground cracked. She stopped by his side. “Why are you stopping me? Are you the one that did this? Or is it your lover?”
Ling Yan couldn’t be bothered.
Ming Shu continued forward. Ling Yan seemed to be in a daze. He actually followed her.
“Why are you following me?” Ming Shu turned around and looked at him.
“The road is not yours. Can’t I walk on it?” Ling Yan’s tone was irritated. He glared at her with a dark look and jeered, “Are the ghosts from Hell all so overbearing?”
“I will think that you like me if you follow me.” Ming Shu smiled. “It will be a bother to me.”
“Chut.” Ling Yan gave a sinister laugh. He suddenly reached out and aimed for Ming Shu’s neck.
You little demon!
Ming Shu bit into her apple and retaliated.
The air instantly became dark. Cold wind blew and the weather turned wintery. People shivered with cold.
