Chapter 18 The Murderer
Fortunately, Li Rongjun had good professional composure, otherwise he would have been scared out of his wits on the spot.
Even so, facing the unbearable stench, the police officers present still had pale faces.
As a result, when Li Rongjun approached, he couldn’t help but say to Liu Haoyu.
“Little brother, please cooperate… Are you really not afraid of the smell?”
Li Rongjun also knew that this was a very brutal dismemberment case, so he immediately took it seriously.
Being able to solve such a case would be a great achievement and very beneficial for his future career.
“Okay.”
Due to the urgency of time, the statement was taken on the spot, while other police officers began to practice operations like using boats to salvage.
However, because it was at night and visibility was limited, the salvage operations would likely continue during the day, and they had to seal off the scene now.
After identification, the victim’s time of death was three months ago.
As for Liu Haoyu, since he was from out of town, his timeline did not match the time of death of the corpse. Li Rongjun quickly ruled him out as a suspect.
The most important thing was that no one would be so foolish as to retrieve the almost undiscoverable dismembered corpse and then call the police.
After finishing the statement, Liu Haoyu said leisurely.
“It’s not easy to get from the road to here. If you’re not familiar with it, you might not be able to find this place at all.”
As soon as he said this, Li Rongjun was stunned. He looked at the surrounding environment. The water flow was calm, and the corpse would not run around after entering the water.
This meant that the place where the body was dumped was very close to here, and it was even possible that it was dismembered on the spot and then thrown into the water.
Otherwise, if the journey was so long, there would definitely be a lot of bloodstains, and it would attract the attention of citizens.
At the same time, he also found that even though the corpse was rotten beyond recognition, it bore some resemblance to a missing internet celebrity from a few months ago.
This was very likely a victim of the disappearance case from a few months ago.
Li Rongjun was not stupid. With the clues collected earlier, he already had a few people he suspected.
“Little brother, you have nothing else to do here. If there are any problems later, or if we need your help, we will continue to contact you.”
“Understood.”
Liu Haoyu returned to the roadside.
He took out a strand of black hair.
This was some hair that had fallen from a skull. It had a strong smell and was somewhat disgusting.
But no matter what, Liu Haoyu had made a promise to the white-clothed female ghost.
Although the law would eventually severely punish the three murderers, the fierce ghost had to kill them with her own hands to quell her resentment.
As for how to make the white-clothed female ghost kill them, this strand of hair was the key.
Liu Haoyu rode his motorcycle to the roadside, then took out the black book and placed the strand of hair on it, writing.
“Where is the murderer of this woman?”
With the resentment from this strand of hair, the blood in the black book moved for a while, and then blood characters appeared.
“The farthest distance in the world is none other than you being on this side, and your enemy on the opposite shore.”
“The fierce ghost, who was brutally murdered, can watch the opposite shore every night.”
“She resents, she is angry, and she yearns to gain more power to drag these enemies into the water.”
“You have already obtained the hair of the fierce ghost, place this hair on the murderer as soon as possible.”
“Otherwise… you will be the one who dies.”
Ever since he came out of the haunted house, the black book’s answers had been simple and easy to understand, no longer the pretentious, confusing words.
This was a good thing.
But the murderer was on the other side of the shore?
Come to think of it, it wasn’t impossible.
This reservoir was quite large, and it was quite a distance from one shore to the opposite shore.
With the current strength of the white-clothed fierce ghost, she really couldn’t reach the other side.
Every night, she watched the opposite shore with such venom but couldn’t personally kill her enemies. This feeling was not pleasant.
Liu Haoyu put the hair into a box, then twisted the throttle and drove along the road, preparing to head to the opposite side of the reservoir to check the situation.
—
On the other side, Deng Xiaolin finally arrived at the reservoir.
However, she didn’t know exactly where the car accident occurred, only that it was at the reservoir.
As a result, when she arrived, she found that the reservoir on the outskirts of the city was so large.
It was so large that she didn’t even know where she had come to now.
“Should I have entered from here?”
Deng Xiaolin held up her flashlight and cautiously felt her way forward.
The wind at the reservoir was very cool, and Deng Xiaolin was wearing a bit too lightly. She shivered and already had thoughts of retreating.
Come to think of it, coming to such a place alone was still too risky.
Deng Xiaolin muttered to herself.
But as she touched the peach wood sword and some other miscellaneous items on her body, she felt a little more confident.
These were all taken from her grandfather’s box, and they were said to be able to deal with fierce ghosts.
Coupled with her ability to sense ghosts and monsters, she wouldn’t be caught without a fight even if she encountered one… probably?
As she thought about it, Deng Xiaolin walked into the reservoir area.
The moonlight cast on the water surface, shimmering and beautiful.
Even at night, it was not completely silent here.
The annoying frog calls and insect chirps from the past now gave Deng Xiaolin a lively feeling.
After walking a few steps and not encountering any danger, she felt a surge of courage.
“Coming to such a place alone, it seems it’s nothing much…”
The young girl said to herself. After walking for a while, she suddenly saw two flashlight beams not far away.
In the dim night sky, she could vaguely see that these were two men.
Were they fishing?
After confirming several times, Deng Xiaolin walked forward and asked the two of them.
“Hello…”
Upon hearing Deng Xiaolin’s words, the two middle-aged men who were fishing turned their heads. Their first reaction upon seeing Deng Xiaolin was surprise, and then they began to size up the young girl.
Finally, the two exchanged a glance, put on a gentle and harmless expression, and said with a smile.
“Little girl, what are you doing in a place like this so late at night?”
“Well…” Seeing that the two did not look like bad people, Deng Xiaolin asked, “I heard that there was a car accident here at the reservoir yesterday. Do you know where the car accident happened?”
After hearing Deng Xiaolin’s words, the two middle-aged men exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter.
“Little girl, you’re going the wrong way. That car accident happened on the other side of the shore.”
“No wonder I couldn’t find it…”
Deng Xiaolin took two steps back, cautiously but courteously said.
“Thank you for the directions. I won’t disturb you two fishing.”
For some reason, ever since Deng Xiaolin met these two people, the voice of a strange woman appeared in her ear.
“Run… run…”
The voice was grim and distant, like the wail of a vengeful spirit, constantly echoing in Deng Xiaolin’s mind.
