Chapter 158: Chapter 158: In the past, her dream was to become a celebrity.

Scarlett Jennings first nodded at Daniel Wright as a greeting, then turned to the officer holding the evidence bag and asked,

"If you don’t mind, could you give me the bag for a moment?"

The officer was about to say that it wasn’t according to protocol.

But Daniel Wright, standing beside him, handed over the evidence bag containing the Golden Bracelet to Scarlett Jennings, clearly trusting her.

Scarlett Jennings took the bag, and Daniel Wright watched as she casually dampened her fingers, swiftly drawing a Talisman mark on the evidence bag.

Daniel Wright slightly arched an eyebrow, and Scarlett Jennings had already returned the item.

The water mark on the evidence bag had dried, leaving no trace, but he vaguely sensed that she had "performed some magic" on it.

Was she worried that the "evidence" might mysteriously disappear?

Knowing that they were still recording the show, he didn’t press her for details, instead, he pondered for a moment and said, "Last time... thank you."

If it hadn’t been for her warning, their team members might have been injured.

Scarlett Jennings instantly understood what he meant, a slight smile tugging at her lips, and she suddenly added,

"By the way, I’ve already called the relevant responsible unit. Once the police discover who’s behind the plan, someone from there will come to take over the matter."

Upon hearing her words, Daniel Wright suddenly recalled the personnel from the National Special Security Department who came to receive the remains last time.

They must be specifically handling those supernatural crime cases.

Daniel Wright, being a police officer for years, knew well not to ask more than he should know, so he just nodded.

But before leaving, he did ask Scarlett Jennings for her contact information.

For some reason, he had a premonition that as the show continued, they would meet again.

After making the call, Scarlett Jennings handed her phone back to the show crew, too lazy to retrieve it, so she simply wrote down a series of numbers.

As Scarlett Jennings predicted, once Daniel Wright returned with the items, and after identifying potential suspects, relevant department personnel arrived.

The same two from last time.

They first accepted the Golden Bracelet, looking somewhat surprised, murmuring, "Again with the lingering spiritual power."

No idea which bigwig, always handling things before they arrived.

One of them couldn’t help but ask curiously,

"Did anyone have contact with the evidence bag? Did your police find a special Master to consult?"

Daniel Wright instantly knew who they were asking about.

If the black ash from the bones last time was a coincidence, this time he was practically certain.

He shook his head, about to explain, when he heard the person ask further,

"Our department is hiring, why don’t you recommend the person over, or do you have their contact info? I could reach out myself."

Daniel Wright: ...

Tucking the slip with Scarlett’s number into his pocket, Daniel Wright kept a straight face,

"No, both incidents were caused by the show crew, with so many people there, I doubt anyone had contact."

The other party, hearing this, was a bit regretful but decided to check out that variety show later on.

After the handover, it didn’t take long for the police to quickly pinpoint the suspect through the date of cremation and death list.

The man was indeed the husband of the ashes’ owner; they came from the same orphanage, supporting each other till today, even starting a business at a young age. Sadly, the wife got cancer and passed away a week ago.

According to the police investigation on their relationship, the man indeed fit the potential suspect profile of someone who might use an evil spell against others.

However, when the police found that upscale apartment, the suspect vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

Daniel Wright observed the man, who was clearly under thirty but looked as though he was in his forties and noticeably frail.

Out of nowhere, he recalled Scarlett Jennings mentioning "backlash" during the live stream.

He had someone investigate the man’s whereabouts and actions after his wife’s death, yet the suspect obviously guessed the body borrowing spell had failed, cut off the spell decisively, and erased all evidence.

Since no one was harmed, and the man had been thorough in removing evidence, Daniel Wright couldn’t directly charge him.

Just when he thought he’d have to let the man go, those two personnel from the relevant department arrived again.

They simply said after hearing Daniel Wright’s report, "Leave the person to us from here on."

One of them smiled, "Even though he denies it, whether a person suffered the backlash of a spell can be seen, even if evidence is destroyed, his body can’t lie."

Only then did Daniel Wright understand why Scarlett Jennings had reported the situation to the relevant department from the start, letting them intervene.

Although the police excelled at investigation and tracking, in matters involving some esoteric aspects, they indeed were powerless.

It wasn’t something within the scope of the law to solve.

Later, only did they learn.

Upon learning that his wife didn’t have long to live, the man had been searching for various methods to keep her alive, finally hearing from a master about a life extension spell.

But after borrowing twice, not much life span was gained, rather his wife’s suffering was heightened. Even extending her life couldn’t alleviate the pain caused by cancer.

In the end, he opted for what the master suggested, the body borrowing method.

The goal was to find a new body for his wife, a once-and-for-all solution.

Before his wife took her last breath, he started searching online for suitable girls, even letting his wife choose, who finally picked Momo Ross.

Because she once dreamed of becoming a celebrity.

If she became Momo Ross, she could directly take over everything Momo had, including beauty, fans, and fame.

Though targeting celebrities was somewhat challenging, the man meticulously planned to fulfill his wife’s wish.

Initially pretending to be a fan, he sent gifts to Momo Ross, but the spell never took effect, so he finally resorted to riskier methods.

He knew of Momo Ross’s good luck charm image, exerting effort to leave an item on her path to catch her attention.

All seemed to be going well until a variety show exposed his plans.

Even when Scarlett Jennings only dealt with a single Golden Bracelet on the show, the man marveled at his luck.

Who knew Scarlett Jennings would interfere again, even after ensuring his wife was bonded with Momo Ross?

Had the spell succeeded, he wouldn’t mind being caught.

But seeing the spell unravel, continuing would only lead to its dissolution; the man had no choice but to abandon the body borrowing spell, destroying all evidence.

His mind was set on self-preservation, believing only by protecting himself could he find a chance to make Scarlett Jennings pay with her life for his wife’s sake!

Yet, little did he realize, Scarlett Jennings bravely taunting him on the live stream was already a sign that she knew he couldn’t escape.

Even the so-called taunt was merely to provoke him into severing the spell on his own; even after termination, she would still have the relevant department pin him down.

In the future, he would have no chance to seek "revenge" on her.
