Chapter 97: Chapter 94 He Comes at Nightfall, Blood-red Characters of Grievance

Since Su Xiaotong was staying here with Qin Zhao, Wei Mingna moved to another friend’s house.

Later, the police came back to collect evidence once again, taking the bloodstained liquid on the walls back for special testing.

As dusk fell, night gradually descended.

Qin Zhao and Su Xiaotong ordered takeaway and ate it in the living room while watching TV.

"Zhaozhao, do you think he’ll come today?"

Su Xiaotong was a bit braver than Wei Mingna, after all, she had caught ghosts with Qin Zhao before.

Moreover, she had discovered that some ghosts were not scary, but rather pitiful.

It was those people who committed egregious deeds who were the most terrifying, so she wasn’t as afraid of ghosts anymore.

Ding-ling-ling, Qin Zhao’s phone rang.

Chu Yan had called her, "Why haven’t you come home yet?"

"I’m working outside."

"You didn’t come home last night either."

His voice was clear and cold but strangely held a hint of resentment.

"Those things only come out at night."

Qin Zhao explained briefly, suddenly remembering Tengshe, "By the way, that guy hasn’t been causing trouble, has he?"

"No, he’s watching cartoons."

"..." A Snake Lord who had lived for thousands of years, watching cartoons?

Qin Zhao’s mouth twitched, "How did he end up watching that?"

"I put it on for him. Didn’t the place he used to live have a TV? When I first started playing it for him, he was quite excited, now he’s totally engrossed."

"What did you put on for him?"

"SpongeBob."

Faintly, the sound of cartoon music seemed to drift through the phone.

Watching cartoons was better than him causing trouble at home, bullying cats and dogs, Qin Zhao felt relieved.

"Okay, then. I’m hanging up."

After Qin Zhao hung up the phone, Chu Yan watched Tengshe for a while, pensive.

Today, he had taken a sample of Tengshe’s hair for testing and found that Tengshe had no blood relation to Qin Zhao, and his genetic sequence was very strange, not at all like that of humans.

Chu Yan’s cool phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a playful glint flashed in his eyes.

Could he really be a snake?

In a world where ghosts exist, the transformation of a Snake Demon into a human seemed plausible.

-

"Zhaozhao, have you finished eating?"

Qin Zhao nodded, and Su Xiaotong began cleaning up the takeaway boxes.

The two squeezed together on the sofa, checked the time, it was past eight in the evening.

Drip, drip, drip.

Suddenly, the sound of water droplets falling echoed continuously.

Even with the television program playing in the living room, it was audible.

Su Xiaotong quickly paused the TV show, and the sound became even more noticeable.

Drip, drip, drip.

It was coming from the bedroom.

Turning their heads toward the bedroom, they saw the floor covered with a lot of blood, and more blood dripping down from the wall; the blood gradually spread from the bedroom into the living room.

The living room had white marble floors, where the bright red color was particularly striking.

Su Xiaotong couldn’t help but clutch Qin Zhao’s arm tightly, while Qin Zhao stared at the blood on the floor.

The blood meandered out, forming a large blood-red character on the ground.

Injustice!

Ding-dong, the sound of the elevator opening came from outside the door.

If anyone were outside, they would see that the elevator was empty.

Qin Zhao withdrew his gaze from the ground and looked directly at the tightly closed door.

"It’s you then."

The ghost had just entered when it met Qin Zhao’s gaze and couldn’t help but be startled.

It was the soul of a man, not at all frightening in appearance.

He drifted forward a bit and, noticing Qin Zhao’s gaze following him, realized that Qin Zhao could see him.

"You can see me? Who are you?"

"I am a Heavenly Master," Qin Zhao pointed to the character on the ground, "Did you do this?"

Hearing the words ’Heavenly Master,’ the man couldn’t help but fear, worried that Qin Zhao would capture him.

But Qin Zhao didn’t make a move against him, clearly not intending to.

Only then did he nod, "I, I need someone to help me."

Next to the bloody character for ’injustice’ on the ground, there was also a bright red arrow pointing south.

Qin Zhao vaguely guessed that he could create these strange occurrences but did not harm Wei Mingna because he wanted to draw people’s attention.

Ghosts generally can’t communicate with ordinary people and can’t touch them, so they could only use this method.

And Wei Mingna was able to see him last night for only a moment.

That was because the layout of the house was special, which allowed Wei Mingna to see him.

"Do you want us to go to that place?"

Su Xiaotong pointed at the arrow.

The ghost nodded, his face showing a sorrowful expression, "I was a worker at that construction site. My hometown is very poor, so I came here to work.

There’s a child at home that I have to provide for, but the foreman owed me a year’s wages and didn’t pay up, the child at home couldn’t even eat, so I went to him asking for the money."

The man hugged his head, unable to hold back his tears.

"He wouldn’t give me the money, which to them was just a small amount, but for me, it was a whole year’s worth of blood and sweat.

My family was in urgent need of money, I had to make him pay up, so he got people to beat me. They beat me to death and then buried me under the foundations.

Once that building is finished, no one would ever know about this."

After he died, his soul was filled with resentment and was unable to reincarnate, just lingering around the construction site.

But his soul wasn’t strong enough, he couldn’t communicate with the people at the construction site, nobody could see him, and he was entirely unable to voice his grievances.

It wasn’t until the house here was renovated that he found some guidance, leading him to this apartment, and the aura here made his soul feel comfortable.

Gradually, his soul grew stronger, able to do some things.

But since he died at the construction site, he would still unconsciously return there during the day.

"Okay, I’ll help you."

Qin Zhao spoke and then called Huo Xun.

Such a murder case still had to be handed over to the Criminal Police Team.

Huo Xun was still working overtime at the police station, wrapping up the last case involving Chen Huaying.

Seeing the call from Qin Zhao, his brows twitched, sensing that something was up.

Upon answering the call, his guess was confirmed.

"Captain Huo, I have a ghost reporting a crime."

"..." Huo Xun rubbed his brow, "A ghost reporting a crime? What’s going on?"

"He was beaten to death, but no one realized he had died, and the killer’s hiding place for the body is very cunning. He’s likely to escape legal punishment. So he made some noise and encountered me."

After Qin Zhao finished, Huo Xun’s face became somber.

"Got it, I’m coming right over with my team."

Qin Zhao hung up the call and the ghost thanked him profusely, "Lord Heavenly Master, thank you!"

"It’s no trouble, a mere trifle, let’s first head to the construction site."

Qin Zhao and Su Xiaotong left the apartment, then, under the ghost’s lead, arrived at the construction site two streets away, where another upscale residential area was to be built.

In the late night, the construction site had long stopped work and the gates were closed.

The two of them and the ghost waited by the gate for a while, and Qin Zhao sent the location to Huo Xun.
