Chapter 83: Chapter 80: Dissecting the Living, Extracting the Fetus

"What the fuck? Why are the cops here?"

"Isn’t that the Criminal Police Team? They don’t come out for trivial cases."

"I was just defending Dongdong a moment ago, and now I’m dumbfounded."

"I’m a fan of Qin Zhao, so that pig or whatever, should he be calling daddy now?"

"The investigation results aren’t out yet, it could just be a coincidence."

"I’m dying of laughter, the Criminal Police Team is here and the fans are still trying to whitewash."

When Zhu Yuanrui saw the photo of the Criminal Police Team, it was like a bolt from the blue.

How could this happen?

Before, many people had been slandering Qin Zhao, but now a crowd had flocked to Zhu Yuanrui’s Weibo. Every single comment below his posts was uniform: "Call daddy!"

Zhu Yuanrui’s face turned incredibly sour, then he composed a Weibo post.

Zhu Yuanrui V: Even if the police are here, it doesn’t prove anything. I believe Dongdong is a good kid, and I’m waiting for the results of the police investigation. If he is innocent, I expect everyone to apologize to me.

He couldn’t believe that a student with excellent grades could do anything bad. Plus, the police had arrived just after Qin Zhao had finished speaking—it was just too coincidental, maybe they were hired actors!

Online public opinion was highly unfavorable to Zhu Yuanrui, so he had to stick to his own view.

Zhu Yuanrui V: Don’t you all think the timing of the police’s arrival is a little too coincidental? We were just competing when the police showed up. Isn’t this a show? The power of capital is indeed mighty.

"Thinking about it this way, it does seem somewhat plausible."

"Yeah, the police came too quickly, just like last time."

"Coincidence? It’s because even the gods can’t stand your nonsense anymore!"

"If Fu Wending really committed a crime, the Imperial Police Department will make it public."

"Then let’s just wait for the official announcement."

Qin Zhao hadn’t expected the police to show up so soon either.

And from the photos online, it looked like it was Huo Xun leading the team?

After thinking for a moment, she called Huo Xun.

"Captain Huo, you just arrested a suspect named Fu Wending, right?"

"Yeah, how did you know that?"

"I was doing a fortune-telling competition today, and he just happened to be the subject. I observed his face and detected a trace of murderous karma—predicted he’d have a prison fate."

"He really killed someone?"

By now, Huo Xun was back at the police department, in his office, and had closed the door.

His expression grew more severe, "This case is progressing with some difficulty. My gut tells me there’s something wrong with Fu Wending, but we haven’t found any solid evidence. Moreover, Fu Wending doesn’t have a clear motive for murder."

Qin Zhao confidently said, "You can trust in my fortune-telling skills, there won’t be any mistakes."

"Of course, I trust you."

Huo Xun had even seen ghosts, how could he not believe in Qin Zhao?

Plus, he himself also felt that Fu Wending’s behavior was very suspicious.

"Miss Qin, how about you help us out?"

For some reason, Huo Xun suddenly felt that applying mysticism to solving the case might just be remarkably effective.

"I’m a Heavenly Master, responsible for catching ghosts. Human affairs are your jurisdiction."

Huo Xun said quietly, "Assisting in solving the case comes with a monetary reward."

Qin Zhao’s interest was instantly piqued, "How much are we talking about?"

"It depends on how serious the case is, but there’s definitely tens of thousands involved."

To Qin Zhao, a few tens of thousands was very little.

But she thought about it, solving cases and catching criminals were good deeds, and it could even accumulate merit.

"Okay, I’ll come to the police station tomorrow."

The next day, Qin Zhao arrived at the police station.

After a night, there had been some progress with the case.

The police had searched around Fu Wending’s home for a night and finally found the weapon that matched the victim’s injuries, a small fruit knife.

The fruit knife had the fingerprints of Fu Wending and his parents, indicating it belonged to their household.

With current technology, even if the fruit knife were washed after the murder, it was still possible to detect traces.

But after examining the fruit knife, they did not find any traces of the victim’s blood or DNA residue.

Huo Xun explained the case to Qin Zhao, "Someone found the body of a pregnant woman in Nanshan, her belly cut open and her fetus removed.

No one knows where that fetus went; it hasn’t been found yet."

There were photos of the victim on the table, and her death was extremely tragic.

"I want to see Fu Wending."

Huo Xun nodded and took her there.

When Qin Zhao saw Fu Wending, she indeed found a faint soul next to him.

That soul was the deceased pregnant woman.

But Fu Wending was a tough one; the pregnant woman had died unjustly, and although her ghost followed him, it couldn’t harm him, leaving her soul’s power to slowly diminish.

Under such circumstances, the ghost couldn’t be reincarnated.

The end result would be to dissipate in the Human World, turning into a wisp of yin energy.

Qin Zhao waved at the ghost of the pregnant woman, and she uncontrollably drifted over to Qin Zhao’s side.

"You... you can see me?"

She looked at Qin Zhao in astonishment.

Qin Zhao nodded, "Have you been following him since you died?"

The pregnant woman who had been cut open turned to look at Fu Wending and immediately shrunk back in fear, clinging to Qin Zhao’s side.

Her death had been too horrific, and even as a ghost, she was still afraid of this demon.

The pregnant woman couldn’t help but sob, "Yes, I’ve been following him. But I’m so scared, and my child, my child was taken out by him and thrown away."

"What exactly happened?"

"That day my husband and I went out for a picnic, and then in Nanshan, we ran into a group of young people. Their car broke down, so we took them along. When we got to Nanshan, my husband suggested we all play together."

The pregnant woman shivered at the memory of that day.

Ever since Fu Wending got in the car, she felt that the youth’s gaze towards her was odd, always staring at her belly, making her uncomfortable.

But as her husband was a kind person and wanted to take them along, she didn’t say anything.

When they reached Nanshan, they were supposed to have a picnic, but then it started to rain heavily.

She got separated from her husband, and then she encountered Fu Wending.

Fu Wending saw she was a pregnant woman, and at first offered to go down the mountain with her, to take care of her.

But then he led her deeper into the mountain and suddenly said, "Auntie, can I see what your baby looks like inside your belly?"

"There are still two months before birth, if you want to see, I’ll contact you then?"

She didn’t think there was anything wrong with Fu Wending’s words, but the look in his eyes as he stared at her became more excited.

"What would happen if the baby is taken out early? Are babies really as ugly as monsters while they’re in their mother’s belly, like in the pictures? Auntie, I really want to see!"

The pregnant woman was shocked by his words, she couldn’t imagine that a young man would say something so horrifying.

She tried to run, but the youth dragged her back, tied her to a tree with a prepared rope, and then used the fruit knife to cut open her belly and took out the child inside.
