The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 164 - 161: Caught the Culprit, It’s Really You!

Chapter 164: Chapter 161: Caught the Culprit, It’s Really You!

If Gong Leyi really is Gong Lexin’s younger sister, her many years of disappearance might be due to her death at the Lu Family’s residence.

Not only that, but her soul had also been sealed within the Lu Family’s Feng Shui Bureau.

Since Gong Lexin didn’t die, and neither of the two corpses were her, there wouldn’t be a blood relation between the two victims and Gong Leyi.

Gong Lexin had been unable to find her sister for years and learned of her sister’s death by accident, yet she couldn’t do anything to Lu Tingming.

It was very likely that she committed such a sensational crime to take revenge for her sister, thereby drawing everyone’s attention to the Lu Family.

As long as the police searched the Lu Family’s property, they would find the broken bones in the garden!

As for the two victims, they were just two women Gong Lexin found with similar body types who then had plastic surgery to look like her.

The deaths of ordinary people wouldn’t cause such a big sensation, but for a well-known movie star who died twice, it would certainly arouse many people’s curiosity.

"Even two people who look alike cannot be identical in every way."

Qin Zhao shared all her speculations with Huo Xun, but this time, he didn’t dismiss her as talking nonsense.

They returned to the Criminal Police Team and compared the photos of the two bodies over and over until they finally noticed many differences.

Professional staff, through extensive comparisons with photos from events Gong Lexin had attended, discovered a small, inconspicuous mole on the position of her shoulder blade on her back, which neither of the bodies had!

"Neither of them is Gong Lexin."

Huo Xun looked at the photos spread across the table and finally concluded.

"Release Shen Xihe, and bring that gardener from the Lu Family back here."

Clearly, Shen Xihe wasn’t the murderer, but the gardener had given false testimony, which was also illegal.

Huo Xun, with a complicated expression, said to Qin Zhao, "The higher-ups have issued a search warrant for me. If we search the Lu Family now, we can probably find the rest of the broken bones.

But should we really proceed according to Gong Lexin’s plan?

It irritates me that she killed two innocent people to create such a sensational case. We also need to arrest and bring her to justice."

"I have a way to lure her out."

Qin Zhao thought for a while, "You all hold off for now. The person who is most anxious right now is definitely her.

The news conference must have been a move she made after finding out that you had arrested Shen Xihe and made no moves against the Lu Family, which totally deviated from her plan. Once she appears, we will know if my guess is correct. Then we can search the Lu Family to see what dirty secrets they really have."

Huo Xun thought her reasoning made sense, "How do you plan to draw her out?"

"When I found the broken bones, I also found Gong Leyi’s soul."

After Qin Zhao finished speaking, her gaze swept across the other detectives in the conference room, and she smiled at them, "Would any of you like to meet her?"

The mention of a ghost made everyone’s scalp tingle, and they exchanged apprehensive glances.

Huo Xun coughed lightly, slammed the table, and made a decision, "As criminal police, what haven’t we faced? We can’t be frightened! Release that ghost and let them broaden their horizons!"

The whole team couldn’t just be him that had seen a ghost, fortunately!

If there’s fear, let’s all fear together!

Others: "...."

Captain Huo, could you not take such pleasure in others’ misfortune?

The people from the Criminal Police Team were actually very strong-willed.

When Qin Zhao released Gong Leyi’s soul, they were startled at first but then realized it wasn’t as scary as in the TV dramas and began to relax.

"So this is what a ghost looks like. This girl is actually quite pretty."

"Just semi-transparent and floating, that’s all. I thought it would be scarier."

"Suddenly, I’m kind of envious, being able to float around without walking must save a lot of energy, right?"

Everyone crowded around Gong Leyi and started discussing, which scared her so much that she hid behind Qin Zhao.

"You, what kind of people are you?"

"Pfft, hahaha, can you tone it down a bit? You’ve scared the ghost!"

A certain female detective jokingly said to the others.

Qin Zhao couldn’t help but smile and turned to Gong Leyi, "I found your relative, do you want to see her?"

"Relative?" Gong Leyi looked bewildered, "Does that mean I can finally find out who I really am?"

"Yes, maybe seeing her will jog your memory."

"Okay, then please help me."

Gong Leyi took a more laid-back approach because she had forgotten everything about her life before.

But Qin Zhao could still sense her curiosity.

"Gong Lexin is waiting for the police’s next move, so she will definitely be keeping an eye on the police station.

As long as we have Gong Leyi’s soul wander near the entrance of the police station, we should be able to lure her over."

"Ordinary people can’t see souls, can Gong Lexin see her?"

Huo Xun voiced his doubt, to which Qin Zhao replied, "I will make her appear almost like a normal person; no one will know she is a ghost as long as they don’t touch her."

He nodded, "Let’s arrange it that way then."

Qin Zhao placed a talisman on Gong Leyi so that she appeared almost like a normal human.

However, Gong Leyi’s soul wasn’t particularly strong, thus humans couldn’t touch her. If someone tried, they would pass right through her.

Gong Leyi propped up an umbrella and sat in the courtyard of the police station.

She had a bag of small snacks on her lap, bought for her by members of the Criminal Police Team. Through a special spell, Qin Zhao allowed Gong Leyi to taste the food of the Human World.

Gong Leyi flipped through the snacks, undecided on which to eat.

She sat in the courtyard for a long time until finally, a woman wearing a mask and sunglasses hesitated before approaching, her voice trembling, "Little Yi, is that you?"

Gong Leyi acted as if she hadn’t heard and continued examining the snacks in her hand.

"Little Yi, come with me!"

The woman reached out to pull her, and Gong Leyi dodged, warily asking, "Who are you?"

Qin Zhao had warned her not to leave with just anyone.

And the reason she had followed Qin Zhao from the Sealed Land was because the aura on Qin Zhao made her feel at ease; she didn’t think Qin Zhao was a bad person.

The woman took off her sunglasses, her eyes brimming with tears.

"I’m your sister."

She quickly removed her mask, then put it back on again.

"Little Yi, your sister will take you away from here!"

Gong Lexin attempted to grasp Gong Leyi again.

But she couldn’t touch Gong Leyi at all, her hand passing through Gong Leyi’s wrist.

Gong Lexin froze, instantly realizing something was amiss.

Why can’t she touch Little Yi?

Oh right, Little Yi had long since died!

Perhaps she missed Little Yi so much she was seeing illusions!

The woman’s eyes revealed a profound sorrow.

She put on her sunglasses, ready to leave, but found the doors of the police station were now closed and she was surrounded.

"Gong Lexin, you’re indeed not dead."

Huo Xun looked at her with complex emotions.

The moment she had taken off her mask, they had all seen her face.

She knew that she would be recognized in the police station if she removed her mask, yet she had done so anyway.

Perhaps she truly loved her sister very much.
