I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 327 The Undisputed Suspect and His Asian Defense Lawyer

The next morning.

The gloomy sky gradually brightened up, and Su Fan just finished his night of healing.

He exhaled and opened his eyes.

[The progress is good. If it keeps going like this, the injury will be completely healed in about half a month.]

Not only that, with the help of this ancient mirror, the power of the soul grows rapidly.

Both the ability to use supernatural powers and the detection function of spiritual consciousness will be improved.

Similar to the principle of body building, the soul of a practitioner not only needs nourishment but also needs to be tempered. Although the process is painful, the benefits are real.

At this moment, there was a noise not far away.

It looked like Tom was awake, too.

This guy is indeed as healthy as he said.

But soon, a familiar whisper sounded in Su Fan's ears.

"The Almighty God of Crowbars..."

Su Fan had a stern face, located his position with his spiritual sense, raised his hand and a gust of wind blew away, blowing the papers on the table and dropping them onto Tom's still chattering mouth.

This caused a burst of exclamations in the room, followed by a rummaging through of drawers and cabinets.

Soon, Tom, wearing a yellow Taoist robe, holding a Bagua mirror and a peach wood sword, rushed out of his room in a hurry, with a nervous look on his face.

"Get ready! Crowbar God, that guy is coming!"

Turning around, he saw Su Fan standing there with no intention of fighting, and immediately realized what a great surprise he had.

"You can actually control the natural elements, this is amazing!"

Halfway through his words, Tom noticed Su Fan's expression and immediately changed his tone.

"I'm sorry, a year's habit cannot be changed for the time being."

Su Fan looked at Tom's unknown face and finally didn't say anything more.

"Do you need breakfast? I'll make it."

Perhaps feeling that he had not performed well just now, Tom took off his Taoist robe and walked into the kitchen.

"Just prepare your own. I don't need it."

Su Fan now feels refreshed, in excellent physical condition, and has no feeling of hunger at all.

But in the end Tom made two servings and put them on the table.

Su Fan had no choice but to accept the favor and sat down to eat.

In order to liven up the atmosphere and make it less dull, Tom started to talk about something.

"The news about the confirmed supernatural events has actually caused quite a bit of discussion here."

"Most people here are very interested in what's going on over there, you know, that big American country, the center of the world..."

"Those who can spread from there and gain fame are generally not simple people. In other words, Su, you have also been noticed by the media here."

"is it?"

Su Fan's performance was mediocre.

The relationship between Britain and America can be summed up in one sentence.

My father is my son, and my son is my father.

In the past, before Brexit, they were flirting with each other and acting as troublemakers internally. After Brexit, they are even more outspoken and do not avoid people.

Apart from some countries with a large Jewish population, these two are the closest.

It is not surprising that Britain is aware of the unrest in the United States.

So they should have also received the news that Mikaelson had died suddenly on the top floor of his own building.

I guess no fool would come and provoke him at this juncture.

Is there a 007 hiding in the dark, watching my every move?

When Su Fan thought of this, he immediately expanded his spiritual awareness to the extreme.

Everything within a radius of 700 meters can be seen clearly.

After a quick glance, Su Fan stopped detecting.

Apart from the normal, lifeless working people, there were no tough guys in suits and sunglasses hanging around.

"There are signs that supernatural news here is on the rise now. Some people predict that there may be a global supernatural wave."

"This is all because of you, Sue. Aren't you excited?"

Su Fan shook his head slowly.

However, the local governments could no longer turn a blind eye and were forced to use his excuse to admit it.

What's the point of having a reputation that has no benefit at all?

"To be honest, I have been sought after this year because I have some knowledge of the supernatural and have been able to solve certain problems."

"I can't even imagine how great it would be if I were in your situation."

"Think about it. If you're willing to create a little hype, your fame will instantly surpass that of Hollywood's second- and third-tier stars, and businesses inviting you to endorse their products will flood your phone with calls. Wouldn't wealth and status be easily within your reach?"

"Ah."

Su Fan took a sip of coffee slowly and responded indifferently.

"Rather than the hype you mentioned, I'm more interested in the things you've solved with your knowledge of the supernatural."

"Tell me what's going on."

Mentioning this, Tom cleared his throat and began his story.

He had a good friend in the psychiatric center where he had received treatment.

The other person's name is Sasha, a man in his thirties.

Although there is an age difference of almost ten years between them, the two have become good friends who can talk about anything.

Sasha and Tom were forced into psychiatric treatment for the same reason.

The only difference is that Tom didn't kill his father, but Sasha did kill his mother.

"I know it sounds a little strange, being friends with a psychopath who killed the mother who raised you, but there's a reason for it."

It turns out that Sasha looks scary with his unshaven beard, long hair and prosthetic eyes, but in fact he has been abused by his mother since he was a child.

The latter is a violent man, a severe alcoholic, and takes pleasure in torturing Sasha.

The blind eye was her "masterpiece".

Long-term mental oppression and physical abuse did not make Sasha twisted. The reason why he killed his mother was entirely because the other party wanted to blind his other eye, and the resistance caused an accident.

"Sasha was a really nice guy. I remember that he was the only one who really believed what I said about the haunted mirror."

Tom couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

"It's just that two years before I was released, he was transferred to another mental treatment center. Since then, we have lost contact with each other."

The night after the ancient mirror incident, Tom completely wiped out the "reasonable" memories that had been instilled in his mind by the psychiatrist for a long time.

At the same time, he remembered the contact information Sasha left for him.

In my spare time, I called this one of my few good friends.

However, he did not expect that the other party had just encountered a supernatural event, was in great pain, and even had thoughts of suicide.

"I temporarily handed over the responsibility of looking after the mirror to Katie and drove over to his place."

"You don't know how bad the guy's condition was. As soon as I walked in, I saw empty medicine bottles all over the floor."

Sasha had been having recurring dreams about the mother she had killed since about six months ago.

The other person had a ferocious look on his face and kept asking Sasha to return her life.

He thought he could finally embrace a new life, but suddenly he fell from heaven back into hell.

At first Sasha thought he had a mental problem and tried to treat it with drugs, but no matter how much he took, his mother, who looked ferocious and died miserably, would always appear in his dreams, stretching out her sharp claws to strangle his neck.

"I saw the ghost handprint on his neck, exactly the same as the one I got that night when I was captured by the evil spirit."

"At the time I concluded that it was not a mental problem. Sasha must have been haunted and persecuted by his mother's ghost."

At this point, Tom's tone was obviously full of pride.

"And then..." Su Fan wiped his mouth with a tissue and asked.

"Then……"

After knowing that the problem was caused by evil spirits, Tom was not so foolish as to teach the other party how to use the sword finger technique right away.

He remembered clearly that this thing would consume a person's energy.

Sasha had been suffering from mental weakness for a long time and had attempted suicide. If he fired a sword, his frail body would probably not be able to bear it and he would collapse immediately.

So Tom waited until Sasha fell asleep and started having nightmares at night, and then he fired his sword several times around her.

Since then, Sasha has never dreamed of his mother again, and his mental condition has been getting better day by day.

The problem was solved successfully. Tom saved his friend's life and also satisfied his own desire to show off.

"Mr. Sufan, what do you think?"

Tom glanced in Su Fan's direction with some anticipation.

The latter's face did not show the appreciative smile as he expected, but became serious.

"Do you know what is the most dangerous and terrifying thing about ghosts for humans?"

"...What is it?"

"It means you can't see and sense the other person specifically."

"From the beginning to the end, you didn't actually see the evil spirit appear on the other party, and you had no way of judging the other party's strength."

"If you encounter an evil spirit with the same strength as that night, do you have the confidence to kill it without being able to see it?"

"If you have exhausted your Qi and the other party has not been defeated by you, what will be waiting for you two next? Do I need to say more?"

"This……"

Su Fan's sharp question left Tom speechless.

He knew that he had gotten lucky and had seized upon the evil spirit's obsession with Sasha, and only succeeded in exorcising the evil spirit by sheer luck.

"…I didn't think enough."

The young man, who was not much older than Su Fan, lowered his head.

"If Katie were to plan this kind of thing, she would definitely be more prepared."

"In the future, discuss things with your sister."

"……I see."

Seeing Tom who was feeling a little depressed, Su Fan slowed down his tone and did not speak any more.

His willingness to take the risk to help his friend is indeed commendable.

He is loyal and righteous, determined and courageous, but he is also rash and impulsive in doing things.

If he really expressed his approval, I don’t know how he would end up dying in the future.

The atmosphere at the scene lost its previous relaxed feel and became a bit dull.

Tom stood up to clear the dishes when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

"Is that Katie?"

"Do not."

Tom looked down at the caller ID, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"It's Sasha."

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

Such a coincidence suddenly gave Tom a bad feeling.

He answered the phone, and Sasha's frightened voice came from the other end.

"Tom, I'm going to tell you something now, you must believe me!!"

……

Inside the interrogation room of the police station.

"You mean, you happened to pass by the victim's house that night, right?"

The black policeman stopped writing, raised his eyes, and looked at the man rubbing his hands on the interrogation chair with burning eyes.

He had long hair, scars on his face, and one of his eyes was dull and lifeless, obviously a prosthetic eye.

One look at his face tells you that this guy is not a good person.

But at this moment, he showed an uneasiness that was inconsistent with his appearance.

"Yes."

"But as far as I know, the location of the incident is very remote, close to the edge of the suburbs, and there is not even mobile phone coverage."

"What are you doing there?"

On the side, another white police officer immediately asked questions.

"I already told the officer."

"You can say that again."

"…There's a nice lake not far from there, and I like to go for a walk there when I have nothing to do."

"It's a walk, not revenge?"

The black police officer asked again.

"There is evidence here that you intentionally inquired about the victim's residential address some time ago."

"Ten years ago, you were forced to receive psychiatric treatment because you killed your own mother. You were transferred to various treatment centers many times."

"The victim was the wife of your attending physician at the psychiatric center."

"According to hospital records, the doctor has repeatedly assessed your mental state and found it not up to discharge standards."

The black police officer didn't say much, but the meaning of his words was very clear.

He felt that the man who had killed his mother and was sitting in the interrogation chair opposite him was a murderer who had committed another murder in order to avenge the doctor.

"No... Officer, I didn't..."

The long-haired man showed a painful expression and shook his head to deny it.

"Then how do you explain your behavior of deliberately approaching the other person's residence?"

The white police officer was clearly getting impatient.

"Your name was clearly mentioned in the call records between the victim and her husband."

"I just wanted to say hello..."

The long-haired man's voice became weak and almost inaudible.

In this situation, anyone with a little bit of common sense can see that he is lying.

The two policemen looked at each other and the same thought came to their minds.

Seized the flaw.

But just as they were about to intensify the interrogation of the suspect, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"The defense lawyer and agent requested by the victim have arrived and are now waiting outside for a meeting."

The two police officers who received this notice were immediately indignant, but the rules and regulations were there, so they stopped the interrogation and walked out of the room.

Then he saw two young men who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

They all looked to be in their twenties, not too old.

Interestingly, one of them looks to be Asian.

Judging from the demeanor of both parties, the Asian youth is more like a so-called lawyer.

After the white youth's communication, the two men walked into the interrogation room.

"Tom! You are finally here! You have to believe me! Believe me..."

The long-haired man who had been looking listless on the interrogation chair was so excited that he almost cried when he saw the person coming.

"Calm down, Sasha. Of course I believe you."
