"...Ahem, then I'll contact him and ask if the master has time. He's always been very busy."

Fatty Wang echoed: "Well, the master must be busy."

Xing Fei wanted to say something but stopped himself in the end. Forget it, let's wait until the people come. Otherwise, if I say now that the master is a student, they will probably make a fuss again.

"..."

In the second class classroom

Wang Hao saw someone coming back and waved: "Su Chen, your phone has rung three times. The person who is looking for you must have something urgent. Why don't you call back quickly?"

Su Chen nodded, picked it up and took a look at it with some surprise.

I walked out with my phone, found a corner and called back, and the call was connected quickly.

[Master Su, I'm Xing Fei, do you remember?]

[Remember, you're from the New City Police Department. What do you want from me? Fortune telling or something?]

Xing Fei's voice was a little low.

[It's... multiple murders.]

Su Chen was a little confused. Solving murder cases was the police's job. What did it have to do with him?

"Detective, I'm a Taoist priest, and telling fortunes and catching ghosts is my job, but this is a murder case, and your police department should handle it. I can't solve it."

[Ha, sorry, Master Su, I didn't explain myself clearly. This is a homicide, but the murderer is most likely... not human.]

[I don't know what it is exactly. The case is too strange. If you have time, I can pick you up and take you to the police station.]

Urgent?

[Yes, if we delay for one day, three people will die. From the first day on, three people will die every night. The cause of death is exactly the same, all sudden death.]

[But the strange thing is that none of these people had heart disease before they died, so it is impossible for them to die suddenly. There were no traces left at the scene, and no clues were found at all.]

Su Chen understood after hearing this. No wonder they were so anxious. If it was really a ghost or something, there would be no time to waste.

[Okay, I'll ask for leave now. Please send me the location of the police station and I can drive there myself.]

When Xing Fei heard him say this, his voice was full of surprise.

[That's great, Master Su, thank you so much. Thank you so much.]

"It's okay, it's just a small favor. If it's really a ghost, I'll take action. If it's a human crime, I can only rely on you to solve the case."

【clear! 】

Su Chen quickly asked for leave and walked out of the small door with his bag on his back.

He drove all the way to the police station, walked straight in, and asked, "Excuse me, is Officer Xing Fei here?"

"Yes, I'll call for you."

Not long after, Xing Fei came over with a look of surprise in his eyes: "Master Su, you are here. Please come with me. There is a recently deceased body inside. Please take a look."

Su Chen nodded and followed him in.

As the door opened, a faint stench wafted over.

As the white cloth was lifted, the corpse on the small bed was revealed, and the same look of horror on the face was directly reflected in Su Chen's eyes.

"Ok?"

Su Chen checked them one by one, frowning.

Xing Fei's heart sank upon seeing this, and he asked worriedly, "Master Su, is there something wrong?"

"Yes, this is a serious problem. These people have signs of their souls being extracted, not signs of ghosts seducing them."

"...Master Su, I don't quite understand what you mean. Who is the person behind this? A human or a ghost?"

Su Chen shook his head: "Neither. What exactly it is? Maybe I can only confirm it after I see it. This thing is not easy to solve. Tell me about the case."

"I'll see if I can think of a way to lure that thing out. Only then can I find a way to deal with it."

Xing Fei nodded and recounted the whole story of the case in detail, carefully fearing that he would miss anything.

"All the dead were homeless people and drunkards."

Su Chen touched his chin and thought: "It seems that the thing behind this is afraid of being discovered, and specifically targets homeless people. In this case, why don't I be the bait."

"If we can lure that thing out and figure out the whole story, then everything will be clear."

Xing Fei was stunned: "...Master Su, we have no idea what's going on with that thing now. If you use it as bait and something goes wrong, it will only harm you."

"Ah, it's not that serious. If I can't handle it, it will be more troublesome for you to be bait."
