Chapter 338: Chapter 336: The Dark Beast with Red Eyes

"Looking for your mom? Where did you go to look for her?"

"I heard her calling me, so I followed her voice, but no matter what, I couldn’t find her. After it got dark, I wanted to go home, but I didn’t know how to get back."

When the little girl’s soul drew near to Qin Zhao, her soul became more substantial; the bewildered look in her eyes faded, and she gradually began to remember what had happened to her.

"She died because her soul willingly stayed away from her body for too long, leading to heart failure."

Both Ren Baishan and Shangguan Qiu could see the little girl’s soul and heard their conversation. Lao Liu couldn’t see anything, and his expression was somewhat peculiar.

After thinking for a while, Qin Zhao opened the Heavenly Eye for Lao Liu, allowing him to see the soul.

"This, this is one of the deceased!"

Lao Liu almost jumped in shock at the sight of the translucent soul.

Qin Zhao nodded, "We’ve found the reason for their deaths, but the souls of the living don’t easily leave their bodies. According to what she has said, someone must have used the Soul Separation Technique."

"Soul Separation Technique?"

Lao Liu didn’t understand, so Ren Baishan explained to him, "It is a spell that tempts the living’s souls to leave their bodies. Many ghosts and spirits unconsciously master this spell and sometimes use it without intention.

For example, a recently deceased relative who misses their child intensely, that yearning might lead them to unwittingly use the Soul Separation Technique to summon the child’s soul to see them.

But if a living person’s soul stays away from the body for too long, the body will die."

Ren Baishan had dealt with a soul separation incident before.

An elder, after passing away, missed their grandchild so much that they wanted to see him, and subconsciously used the Soul Separation Technique to call the grandchild’s soul over.

The child’s soul left his body and nearly died.

Luckily, Ren Baishan happened to pass by, noticed something was amiss, called the child’s soul back in time, and explained to the elder’s soul about the separation, asking her to be more mindful the next time.

"Could it be their mother? Wanting to call their souls over to see them? And after seeing her, the souls didn’t know how to return to their bodies, resulting in the deaths of all three children."

Shangguan Qiu shared her speculation.

Qin Zhao then asked the little girl, "Did you see your mom?"

"No."

The little girl frowned, a haunted expression crossing her face.

"I couldn’t find mom no matter what, and I encountered wild beasts on the way, so I ran away quickly. But I ran too hastily and didn’t know where I had run to, so I couldn’t find my way home.

Big sister, why can you see me? I tried to ask people on the road how to get home, but they couldn’t see me at all, and I couldn’t touch them."

"Because you are in the state of a soul, we are Heavenly Masters, so we can see you."

"Can I still return to my body?"

"You’ve been away from your body for too long, and it has already died."

After Qin Zhao explained, the little girl looked at her blankly.

After a long while, her eyes began to redden, struggling to accept that she had died just like that.

She tried to cry, but ghosts don’t have tears.

She could only curl up into a ball and sob, "Dad and mom will be so sad."

The little girl was the youngest, but the experiences from her childhood had still left a significant psychological shadow on her. It was the care of her adoptive parents that allowed her to lead a normal life and grow up healthy and happy.

She was grateful for her current parents and loved them dearly. Thus, knowing she was dead, her first reaction wasn’t grief for herself, but worry for the sorrow her parents would feel.

"Big sister, can you send me home?"

The little girl asked Qin Zhao earnestly, her eyes brimming with tears and a hint of pleading.

She wanted to tell her dad and mom not to be too sad because of her.

Qin Zhao sighed, "Let’s send her home for a visit first."

This place was the site of the first victim’s death, not the little girl’s home.

On the way to send the little girl, Ren Baishan said, "She didn’t see her mother, so the soul that performed the Soul Separation Technique must not be her mother’s soul. Then who could it be?"

Here, "mother" refers to the little girl’s biological mother, the wife who had reported Liu Xiaopeng and had him arrested. Not long after Liu Xiaopeng was sentenced, she died.

Qin Zhao recalled what the little girl had just said, "You mentioned you encountered a wild beast on the road; what kind of wild beast?"

"Dark, with red eyes, it wanted to eat me."

The little girl’s face turned deathly pale, her body shrinking a bit closer to Qin Zhao.

"How big was it?"

"That tall, like a standing big grey wolf."

The little girl floated up and gestured the height.

Lao Liu, being a professional police officer, immediately responded, "This height should be that of a normal adult male; could it not be a big grey wolf?"

"Was the time of her death at night?"

Lao Liu gave a positive response.

"She might not have seen clearly," said Shangguan Qiu, "Dark, with red eyes, sounds like a raging evil ghost, right?"

"Could it be their beastly father?" Anger appeared on Ren Baishan’s face, "Such scum died; why didn’t the Netherworld Envoy take him to hell!"

"I don’t think it’s Liu Xiaopeng’s soul."

Qin Zhao explained, "For such atrocious criminals, the Netherworld Envoys of the underworld pay special attention. At the time of their deaths, the Envoys would be waiting in advance to ensure they could hook away their souls and promptly cast them into hell to prevent them from turning into evil ghosts and continuing to do harm in the human world.

However, this murderous ghost definitely has a connection with Liu Xiaopeng."

As everyone conversed, they quickly arrived at the little girl’s home.

Seeing the police arrive, the family members asked excitedly, "Officer Liu, has there been progress in the case? Was my child really murdered?"

Like the relatives of the first victim, they all initially thought it was an accident. They never expected that three children had died over the years!

Such a coincidence, it couldn’t possibly be an accident!

"This case is a bit strange; let your child speak for herself."

After obtaining the family’s consent, Qin Zhao allowed them to see the little girl’s soul.

The family loved the little girl as their own; seeing her soul did not scare them at all. A wave of heart-wrenching crying filled the living room, and the others didn’t feel much better either.

The little girl wanted to stay at home for a few more days, and her foster parents wanted her to stay as well.

Qin Zhao first allowed her to remain there so she could say a proper farewell to her family. After they had dealt with the case, they would come back to send her to be reincarnated.

Just about to head to another victim’s home, Lao Liu suddenly received a phone call.

"Lao Liu, someone died again."

"Who died?"

"Liu Xiaopeng’s eldest son."

"When did he die?"

"He has been dead for a while, but was only discovered today."

The other party indicated that the situation was complicated and couldn’t be clearly explained in a short time, asking him to return to the police station first.

Lao Liu informed the others about this, and they all felt it was the work of the evil ghost again. They hurried to the police station to understand the latest developments.
