Chapter 71: Murder and Dismemberment (Part 2)

When she said those words, ‘Crown of the Wind’ immediately understood.

Yes, this place has been abandoned for several years. No matter how strong-smelling chemicals are, they should be diluted to the point where there’s not much left, after being exposed to the air for such a long time.

Why did he smell a distinct scent in the air when he first stepped into the corpse poolroom where the cadavers were being stored, even though he was wearing a mask?

The only explanation was that the room had been recently used.

Someone else came here and used new chemicals in the corpse pool. Because it was not long ago, there was still an aftertaste that had not evaporated in the room.

After thinking about this, ‘Crown of the Wind‘ felt his scalp numb and felt a sense of fear in his heart.

Gu Zhisang said: “You don’t have to be too afraid. Just stay where you are and wait for the police to arrive. When the case is solved and the murderer is caught, the resentment in the resentful spirit’s heart will naturally dissipate. The Yin energy in your body will also subside.”

Despite what she said, ‘Crown of the Wind‘ was still scared.

He grimaced and was unwilling to disconnect. It wasn’t until a police car appeared in his field of vision that his nervous heart relaxed a little.

After disconnecting the call, Gu Zhisang said to the camera: “The time has come. This morning’s live broadcast interaction ends here.”

The unsatisfied viewers in the live broadcast room: “?!!”

[It’s over? The murder case has not been solved yet. We have to see the follow-up.]

[Sangsang must already know the whole story!]

[Ahhh! Why did it end here? Dear audience, if you want to see the case solved, kneel and beg with me.]

[……]

Gu Zhisang was unfazed by the emotional comments in the live broadcast room and said: “We are doing a metaphysical live broadcast here, not a criminal investigation live broadcast. After the local police find out the relevant follow-up, they will issue an announcement. Please wait patiently for the official announcement.”

After saying that, she paused the live broadcast and turned off the camera.

After the broadcast ended, Gu Zhisang breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the phone next to her.

As soon as he turned on the screen, she saw a call from Zheng Ruyu.

Gu Zhisang: “……”

She had a hunch that it would not be a good thing for the other party to come to her at this time, but she thought about it and answered the call.

As expected, Zheng Ruyu wanted her to catch ghosts online and help solve cases from a distance.

It turned out that the local police who had watched the live broadcast immediately sent out police officers. After arriving at the abandoned medical school, the forensic doctor responsible for the investigation found some unusual chemical residues in the corpse pool based on the clues provided by Gu Zhisang.

Zheng Ruyu said: “In the Corpse Pool No. 6 at the end of the room, a large amount of concentrated sulfuric acid remained on the walls and bottom of the pool. The forensic doctor found some skeleton remains at the bottom of the pool. However, after being corroded by a large amount of sulfuric acid, the flesh and blood of the corpse completely disappeared. Even the bones have degraded to the point where only residues are left, making it difficult to examine.”

In addition, there were remnants of formalin solution in the corpse pool itself, as well as the degraded remnants of the body abandoned in the pool in the past few years. These complex traces were mixed, and it was difficult to separate and distinguish which body tissues belonged to the victim.

As a result, it was impossible to collect them for DNA testing, let alone confirm the identity of the victim.

The local police station also called up missing person reports in the city in the past three months but found no matching case records.

This shows that the victim was likely to be from other provinces and had no relatives or friends in this city.

This greatly increases the difficulty of investigation.

If they follow the normal investigation process: collecting traces and obtaining test results, it will take at least a few days to two weeks.

In addition, to determine the identity of the victim, the local police also need to investigate the surrounding surveillance videos three months ago, and if there were strange records of population circulation in the city, etc.

If there was no clue to solve the case, it would take at least half a month to start. This was just an ideal situation.

But because Gu Zhisang’s live broadcast exposed the murder case in advance, many netizens who watched the show and saw the trending searches flocked to the official account of the local police to inquire about case information and investigation results.

This also puts great pressure on the local police.

With the whole nation’s attention, this case simply cannot be delayed.

The resentful spirits in the medical school were very powerful, and the local special spiritual team also sent people to help.

The resentful spirit was caught.

It was severely damaged by Gu Zhisang’s “Ghost Killing Mantra” from a distance. The spiritual team members successfully subdued it without much effort. They were secretly shocked by Gu Zhisang’s ability.

If she can be so powerful in the live broadcast, how strong will she be if she fights face-to-face?

However, the resentful spirit has completely lost its consciousness and is controlled by resentment. It was unable to communicate normally with the mystic master and could not provide any useful clues.

In desperation, the spiritual team could only temporarily take it into custody.

Zheng Ruyu also came to Gu Zhisang, hoping to ask her to take action to find out the key information of the case and solve the case as soon as possible.

Zheng Ruyu spoke sincerely on the phone:

“Miss Gu, this case is indeed a bit difficult, otherwise we would not trouble you. Of course, we have no intention of forcing you to help, and we will not let your efforts go in vain. If you are willing, we will follow the rules of the metaphysical community. According to the regulations, we will prepare appearance fees and other resources.”

“In addition, Xia Guoling’s team sincerely invites you to join. I wonder if you can meet and discuss it after you return to Rongcheng?”

After finishing speaking, Zheng Ruyu felt a little uneasy.

When she told her superiors that Gu Zhisang was the one who overcame the tribulation in the mountains behind Rongcheng and that Gu Zhisang was a mysterious master above the ‘earth’ level, her superiors were silent for a moment and only said one sentence:

‘We must win her over, and it’s best if she could join the spiritual group. We are too short of high-level mystic masters. No matter what, don’t let her be our enemy.’

After a moment of silence, Gu Zhisang said: “Let’s talk about other things later. I can help you take a look at this resentful spirit.”

Zheng Ruyu had no hope at first but was surprised to hear what she said.

If the other party didn’t reject it directly, there was still a chance!

She said: “Then I will arrange for them to connect with you now.”

Gu Zhisang: “Don’t go to so much trouble, the resentful spirit has already been caught.”

She asked someone from the spiritual team to use a special talisman to imprint the soul and appearance of the resentful spirit and send it to herself.

Things that were very difficult for ordinary people and other mystical masters were easily solved by her.

The soul of the resentful spirit remains as it was before death, and the scars on its face and the saw marks on its limbs are visible. Although the appearance of the damaged face will have a certain impact on the appearance, it does not prevent Gu Zhisang from calculating its life from the soul.

After the divination, she combined it with the hateful look of the resentful spirit and said slowly:

“The place where this ghost was killed is this abandoned medical school. The time of death was 87 days ago. It is female, the fate line is fixed at the age of 25, which means that it was born in 1997, and it is destined to have a bloody disaster.”

It was a pity that it didn’t survive.

“From its appearance, it can be seen that its eyebrows are raised, and its facial features are thin, which shows that it has a strong and competitive character, and likes to be the best in everything without suffering any losses. This character makes it not very popular in life, and it is often ignored by others. Judging from its appearance, it has almost no close friends or relatives, and feels insecure when alone.”

“Its forehead is empty from ‘Tianzhong’ to ‘Sikong’, which shows that it has no connection with its parents. It must have lost both of its parents when it was very young, and it grew up in an orphanage. Its family is not the original relatives, so it has such extreme personality.”
