You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

"Boom!"

Not long after Su Chen left the Ghost Path, thunder roared in his ears.

He frowned in suspicion, turned around, and looked in the southwest direction with a puzzled expression.

Is it a coincidence?

After a moment's hesitation, Su Chen returned to the bridge over Zaojing.

The riverbank was crowded with people, all chattering and asking who the body found in the cave was and how it died.

Further away, Officer Zhao asked with a serious expression if anyone knew of a hole there.

Nothing special.

Su Chen looked up at the dissipating thunderclouds, wondering what exactly was being struck just now.

A person of great evil and wickedness?

still is……

He swept his hand across the water.

Ah Bao was no longer there.

Perhaps she has already gone home.

Suddenly, Su Chen's gaze sharpened.

When it reappeared, it was already in the water.

He pulled a lock of hair from the bottom of the river.

The severed hair was still half a meter long.

One end has burn marks.

Su Chen did some calculations and narrowed his eyes.

It's like Ah Bao got struck by lightning.

why?

She did not do evil and even possessed merits, so how could she attract divine punishment?

In the teahouse.

Huang Nansong, who was walking with an umbrella and wobbling over, was about to greet Su Chen when he noticed him in a daze and paused in surprise.

He leaned the umbrella against the door, went inside, grabbed Xiao Liu'er, and whispered, "What's wrong with Master Su?"

Xiao Liuer shook her head slowly.

Although Huang Nansong was puzzled, he looked at the heavy rain and sighed in distress, "Why did it suddenly start raining so hard? It's so annoying, the bedding isn't dry even after washing..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh. When he turned his head and met Xiao Liu'er's curious gaze, he quickly composed himself and coughed lightly, "Well, Uncle just suddenly remembered some funny things."

Little Willow nodded and asked him, "Uncle Huang, would you like some tea?"

“Hey, let me tell you, today your uncle isn’t just going to drink tea, he’s also going to find someone to play chess with.”

He rambled on for a while longer, and then a car stopped in front of the teahouse. Officer Xue got out of the car.

"Master Su~"

Xue Qiang was taken aback when he spoke up and realized that Su Chen was lost in thought.

Su Chen's eyes flickered, focusing on Officer Xue.

"Is the case resolved?"

Officer Xue nodded: "We found Qingqing in their attic. She told us everything after being provoked a little."

“The five families next to them all had only one daughter. They couldn’t afford the fine to have a second child and try for a son, so they were envious of their family.”

“He always tells Qingqing that daughters like her who have younger brothers are cheap goods, unlike their families where everyone is a little princess and pampered by the whole family.”

“Qingqing was in school and spent most of her time with her classmates, having a good time. She didn’t complain much when she heard this. But recently, her parents were too busy and asked Qingqing to drop out of school to help take care of her younger brother. Qingqing refused, had a falling out with them, and ran away from home.”

"She hadn't gone far when a neighbor pulled her into their house. They said the same things again. Then she saw the neighbor's daughter wearing a pretty dress and nice shoes, and even her braids were neatly tied. That really upset her."

Su Chen nodded.

Officer Zhao sighed, "That kid is really ruthless. After making up his mind, he quickly came up with a plan. He stole the key while his dad was taking a nap, hit it, and then tricked Longlong into going out to play hide-and-seek with his parents. He then locked him in a wooden box..."

“Before I came back, the couple broke Qingqing’s hand when she wasn’t paying attention, and her little face was bruised and swollen… After being stopped, they turned around and started fighting with the neighbors.”

Su Chen smiled and said, "That's normal."

Officer Zhao nodded.

"Yes, even if they know they are in the wrong, they don't dare to admit it."

"It's such a pity for the two children!"

After saying that, Officer Zhao returned to the police station.

Just as Su Chen was pondering whether to go to Zaojing again, Huang Nansong's big head came over.

"Is something wrong?"

Huang Nansong chuckled and pointed downwards.

Su Chen understood and treated him.

"Master Su, are you in a bad mood?"

Su Chen shook his head: "No."

I just don't understand.

So after much deliberation, I considered several possibilities and decided to seek a solution.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen's figure disappeared.

Huang Nansong was stunned for a moment before sighing.

"I never expected that Master Su would also have troubles."

Su Chen reappeared on the bridge and found that Officer Zhao had gone down to the riverbank again, searching through the grass inch by inch with great care and attention.

Many of the onlookers on the riverbank have already dispersed.

Yes, it's getting dark, time to go home and cook dinner.

Su Chen closed his eyes, extended his power out of his body, and began to explore his surroundings inch by inch.

After a long while, Officer Zhao frowned and straightened up.

Still nothing.

Looks like I'm in for a headache.

He nimbly climbed up the riverbank, and was about to say a few words to his colleagues when he spotted Su Chen. He paused for a moment, then quickly walked over.

Su Chen opened his eyes.

"Master Su, what brings you here again? Is there some new clue?"

Su Chen shook his head.

Not only are there no new leads in this case, but there are also no new leads in A Bao's case.

He searched the entire riverbed, but found nothing of the evil.

Then the question should return to Abao himself.

But she clearly possesses merit, so how...

Officer Zhao was not disappointed upon hearing this. Instead, he took out a small notebook and said, "I checked the people around here and found a few suspicious individuals. Could you please ask Master Su to investigate them?"

Su Chen: "..."

"Don't you want to solve the case on your own?"

Officer Zhao smiled and said, "I am very confident in my abilities, but if this case can be solved faster, why not? With the extra time, I might be able to solve a few more cold cases."

Su Chen suddenly realized, took the small notebook, glanced at it, and began to calculate.

Officer Zhao kept a close eye on his expression and fingers.

None of the first seven are correct.

The eighth...

Su Chen's hand paused.

Officer Zhao narrowed his eyes: "Cao Wen? It's him?"

Su Chen shook his head: "It's not this case."

"Did he do something wrong?"

"Yes, robbery."

"Okay, I took note of it."

Officer Zhao quickly made a note in his notebook.

Seeing this, Su Chen moved on to the next one.

Unfortunately, after the last calculation was completed, Su Chen slowly shook his head at Officer Zhao.

"neither?"

Officer Zhao narrowed his eyes: "If I were the murderer and lived nearby, I would definitely have come over before the body was discovered, hiding in the crowd or secretly observing from a corner."

"I must have missed someone."

He closed his eyes and thought carefully, when suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Is there really a mistake?"

Officer Zhao nodded: "There was an old man wearing a white Tang suit."

"At that time, the body hadn't been moved yet. Normally, everyone would either be looking at the body, trying to see the hole where the body was hidden, or discussing it. But he was strange; he just stood there alone, looking ahead..."

"The direction he was looking in..."

Officer Zhao said this as he quickly walked down the bridge and onto the riverbank.

Su Chen followed.

"He was right here, hands behind his back, his gaze slightly downwards..."

"He's looking at the water!"

Officer Zhao stroked his chin, completely baffled: "Could it be that the river wasn't strong enough to wash the body away?"

Su Chen looked at the water, then looked up at the sky and asked him, "Was the thunder before or after this?"

Officer Zhao frowned and thought for a moment: "After that."

Su Chen nodded: "Officer Zhao, would you mind if I searched your memory?"

Officer Zhao was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and opened his arms.

"No problem, come on!"
