Chapter 19 The Heavens’ secrets cannot be revealed
The next day, at the Xin jian road police station in Gui ping district.
Liu Haoyu sat opposite Zhao Long.
This kind-faced police officer looked at Liu Haoyu and asked.
“Mr. Liu, you didn’t go back to that house last night, did you?””
“No,” Liu Haoyu said with a straight face, “I stayed at the Xing guang hotel on Xin jian road all night and never left. Is there something you need me for?””
“It’s nothing, really. Since you’re a witness to the case, there are a few things I need to tell you. After the forensic doctor worked overtime to match the DNA, the victim’s identity has been confirmed.””
“So fast? Who is it?””
Zhao Long looked at the file in his hand and then slowly told Liu Haoyu.
“The victim’s identity is Qiao Siyi, an actress who graduated two years ago. She wasn’t very famous.””
“She went missing half a month ago, right in that house. But at the time, no matter how much we searched, we couldn’t find any trace of her, not even her body. If it weren’t for you finding that dead chicken, perhaps this case would have remained unsolved.”
Seeing that Zhao Long had told him so much, Liu Haoyu raised his head and asked.
“Officer Zhao, it’s okay to tell me these things, right?””
“You are a witness to the case, so it’s definitely okay to tell you part of the truth. However, due to the extremely serious nature of the case, please help us maintain secrecy until we obtain conclusive evidence and apprehend the perpetrator. Please do not spread this information.”
“That’s definitely no problem.”
“Then Mr. Liu, you can go back now. We’ll call you if there’s anything else.”
After sending Liu Haoyu away, another police officer, Wang Pingrui, entered the interrogation room.
Seeing him enter, Zhao Long asked with a heavy expression.
“Where was this man last night?””
“He was in room 201 of the Xing guang hotel the whole time and never left.””
“Tsk…””
Zhao Long rubbed his temples, which ached.
Zhao Long normally didn’t smoke, but with such a strange case, he wanted to light one up for himself.
“Last night, we also received a call from the traffic police detachment. They said a young girl named An Qinglian encountered some murderer and ghosts or something. However, we checked the surveillance footage in that area and only saw a flustered young girl, but we didn’t see any ghosts or murderers.”
Listening to Wang Pingrui’s report, Zhao Long sighed and said.
“What kind of nonsense is this?””
——————
On the other side, Liu Haoyu, having left the police station, couldn’t help but yawn widely.
He hadn’t slept all night, and Liu Haoyu had already noticed Wang Pingrui following him. He just hadn’t pointed it out.
As for why the other party didn’t notice him leaving the hotel, and why the surveillance cameras didn’t capture him.
It could only be said that for a ghost exorcist of Liu Haoyu’s level, there were many ways to conceal his whereabouts. It was quite difficult for ordinary people to find him.
“I wonder how that girl from last night is doing.”
Qin Liu was behind Liu Haoyu, holding a black arm that looked like a dry tree branch.
This was the black hand that had been scraped off An Qinglian.
However, at this moment, the hand showed no reaction. If Qin Liu hadn’t seen it tightly gripping An Qinglian’s shoulder last night, she would have doubted if she had the wrong thing.
“She is haunted by a fierce ghost. Even if you took away the black hand from her, her subsequent situation… it’s hard to say.”
“That serious?””
Qin Liu was a bit surprised.
Liu Haoyu explained.
“Women’s bodies are yin, making them more susceptible to unclean things.”
“Moreover, this female college student often stays up late and has a deficiency in her body, so I’m not surprised that she’s haunted by a fierce ghost.”
What Liu Haoyu said had a bit of a charlatan’s aura.
At this moment, he returned to the noodle restaurant from last night and ordered a bowl of noodles. While waiting, An Qinglian walked into the noodle restaurant with unsteady steps.
“Boss, I’ll have a bowl of beef noodles.”
“Coming right up!”
The boss’s enthusiastic shout did not dispel the gloom on An Qinglian’s brows.
After what happened last night, she hadn’t slept all night and didn’t dare to go back to her rented apartment.
Last night, she had gone back to the company and found a sofa to sleep on for a few hours.
But even in the company with many people, she still couldn’t sleep.
Every time she closed her eyes, she would dream of a very eerie old woman.
The old woman held a bowl of dumplings and leaned in affectionately, asking if she wanted to eat dumplings.
However, An Qinglian couldn’t move at all, only watching as the old woman with a kind smile stuffed the dumplings into her one by one.
In the dream, she felt her stomach was so full that it was like a bird’s crop, as if it would burst if poked.
But just as it was about to explode, she would wake up abruptly.
She fell asleep in a state of lingering fear and woke up in a state of lingering fear.
An Qinglian felt like her mind was about to collapse.
Why did she encounter such a thing…
The poor college student hugged her head, filled with a sense of helplessness where her energy could not be used.
She didn’t know who to turn to. She told Yu Xiaolu about it, but the other party didn’t believe her. She told the police, but the police didn’t believe her either.
Should she go to those temples to ask for some talismans to ward off evil spirits?
While An Qinglian was thinking, Qin Liu noticed her situation and said to Liu Haoyu.
“Look at her, her soul is almost gone. She must have suffered a lot.”
“It’s considered strong willpower if ordinary people haunted by fierce ghosts don’t go completely mad.”
Liu Haoyu sighed, then finished his noodles and walked towards An Qinglian.
An Qinglian, who was looking worried and listless, suddenly found herself covered by a tall shadow.
An Qinglian looked up and was surprised to find that the handsome guy who had tried to flirt with her yesterday was standing in front of her.
What did he want?
He wouldn’t be trying to flirt with her, would he?
If it were any other time, An Qinglian would probably be happy.
However, after what happened last night… it was better not to.
An Qinglian sighed, with no mood for it.
“This young lady will take up a little of your time.”
She wanted to directly express her discomfort, but then she heard Liu Haoyu say.
“You have a卦 on you, don’t be afraid, let me see your hand.”
Liu Haoyu’s sudden utterance interrupted An Qinglian’s words, and upon hearing him, An Qinglian looked up at Liu Haoyu’s face.
It was an aloof handsome face, indeed very handsome, and it was not a problem to capture the hearts of many girls.
But this approach to flirting… it was still too young.
An Qinglian said helplessly.
“Sorry, handsome guy, I’m not in a good mood today.”
Seeing that An Qinglian didn’t want to pay attention to him, Liu Haoyu crossed his arms and said in a voice full of the aura of a swindler.
“If you don’t mind me saying, you couldn’t sleep well last night, and something appeared in your dreams.”
Liu Haoyu’s voice was magnetic, but it caused An Qinglian to break out in a cold sweat upon hearing it.
This handsome guy in front of her hadn’t even met her last night, so how did he know?
Could it be…
An Qinglian scrutinized Liu Haoyu, then shook her head.
Impossible, how could such an aloof and beautiful man be that masked murderer?
But what he said was not wrong at all, what was going on?
Soon, An Qinglian thought of a possibility.
Friends who have often lived in the countryside, or friends who often watch Chinese zombie movies know.
There is a profession called a Daoist priest.
An Qinglian looked at Liu Haoyu, and seeing the charlatan-like aura in his words, she hesitated for a moment and said.
“Are you a Daoist priest?””
“The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, and one’s identity cannot be disclosed.”
Seeing Liu Haoyu’s mysterious demeanor, An Qinglian finally covered her mouth in a hurry.
Her heart had already confirmed Liu Haoyu’s identity.
This man was definitely a Celestial Master!
However, since Liu Haoyu said that the secrets of heaven could not be revealed, An Qinglian stretched out her palm and handed it to Liu Haoyu, begging in a low voice.
“Master, what you said is absolutely correct. Please, please save me!”
An Qinglian extended her hand and whispered what had happened last night. Liu Haoyu, pretending to be a charlatan, examined her hand carefully and said meaningfully.
“Such peril… Don’t be afraid, I have this item, it can keep you safe.”
Liu Haoyu took out a jade gourd from his pocket and handed it to An Qinglian.
For some reason, just looking at the jade gourd in her hand made An Qinglian feel a lot more at ease.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
“Master, how much does this cost?”
“Yin and yang are within my heart; all meetings are fated. This item is for you.”
Liu Haoyu’s spirit of selfless dedication reached its peak, elevating his charlatan aura.
It also made An Qinglian’s face show an expression of adoration.
“I can’t repay your great kindness. Master, please accept this money.”
Since An Qinglian was only an intern, her salary after working overtime was only two thousand five hundred yuan a month. But this time, she gave out her entire month’s salary.
However, Liu Haoyu simply waved his hand, then nonchalantly left the noodle restaurant, leaving An Qinglian alone at her seat, looking at the jade gourd in her hand, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
