Chapter 25 I am a good person
Facing Zhao Long’s words, Liu Haoyu was a little surprised.
He definitely knew the other party could discover him, but he didn’t expect the other party to draw such a firm conclusion so decisively.
But fortunately, Liu Haoyu was very familiar with this kind of situation and knew how to deal with it.
Seeing this, the man wearing the gas mask took off his disposable raincoat, then unzipped his backpack, and under Zhao Long’s confused gaze, Liu Haoyu started searching.
Soon, Liu Haoyu took out “Criminal Psychology,” “Investigation and Counter-Investigation,” and “Constitution” and other things from his backpack.
There were even crowbars, entrenching shovels, high-power flashlights, and other items…
If these were not enough to make Zhao Long dumbfounded, then when Liu Haoyu took out the blood-stained fire axe, Zhao Long’s heart almost jumped into his throat.
The fire axe, flashing with a cold light, was held in the hand of the man wearing the gas mask, exuding a chilling killing intent.
It was no exaggeration to say that Zhao Long almost instinctively drew his handgun.
Although there were no bullets.
“Calm down!”
“It’s okay, Officer Zhao, I am calm.”
Liu Haoyu did not step forward, but placed the fire axe on the ground, along with the miscellaneous items in his backpack.
“I am a good person.”
“…”
What kind of good person carries a fire axe?
What kind of good person reads “Criminal Psychology”?
Zhao Long was silent for a long time.
Liu Haoyu then removed the gas mask from his face and continued,
“When I discovered that a dead rooster had been thrown into the restroom that night, I had been suspecting whether this rooster came from this slaughterhouse.”
“Coupled with the fact that the meat and blood inside its stomach were pulverized very finely, normal household machines could not achieve this level. Only large machines can pulverize meat to this extent.”
“So I came in to check the situation, but after all, half a month has passed. As long as it is cleaned up promptly, even the domino reagent that can detect blood will not be able to detect it.”
“But human bones are very hard, and even if fed to livestock, they are very difficult to digest. So my attention finally fell there…”
Following the direction Liu Haoyu pointed, it was the slaughterhouse’s composting septic tank.
“Using a fishing hook and a landing net, I spent a whole night fishing until I retrieved these useful items from it.”
Zhao Long was speechless. He didn’t know why, but he felt… wasn’t this Liu Haoyu a bit too professional!?
And wouldn’t normal people stay as far away from this kind of thing as possible?
Why wasn’t this guy afraid at all?
“You… you’re not afraid of these things?”
“Why should I be afraid?” Liu Haoyu said very sincerely, “Having worked in a funeral home for so long, why should I be afraid of this?”
Honestly, if Zhao Long hadn’t completely cleared Liu Haoyu’s suspicion, and if the director hadn’t said that some higher-up had ordered him not to bother this person, he would be wanting to arrest Liu Haoyu and have a good chat right now.
“Alas… forget it, kid, you come with me to the police station to make a statement,” Zhao Long said helplessly, “If you find any clues in the future, just call the police directly. Don’t try to be brave alone. What if you encounter the real killer?”
“So I brought something for self-defense?”
Liu Haoyu pointed to the fire axe on the ground.
“You’re being stubborn, aren’t you?”
Zhao Long was so amused that he laughed.
“Half a month ago, we worked overtime every day for this matter, and our hair was almost falling out. Now we have made significant progress, and the murderer must not be able to escape far.”
“I’ll submit your matter to my superiors later and try to get you a commemorative banner or something.”
“Then leave the rest to the police, and you shouldn’t get involved.”
Liu Haoyu replied with a smile to Zhao Long’s rambling.
“No need for banners… how about some bonus money?”
“That’s fine, we who work for the government should thank you.”
“I am a man who was rated as a five-star good citizen in Beiming City. This little thing is nothing.”
“You can go back now.”
Zhao Long patted Liu Haoyu on the shoulder kindly, indicating him to leave.
After he left, a police officer walked over and asked Zhao Long,
“Brother Zhao? Aren’t we going to investigate him? The murderer hasn’t been found yet?”
“Investigate?”
Zhao Long glanced at the police officer beside him.
“Which murderer would go to a septic tank to retrieve the person they killed?”
As far as Zhao Long was concerned, Liu Haoyu was suspicious no matter how he looked at it.
But now, the surveillance footage inside the farm could be retrieved to further narrow down the murderer’s whereabouts. Once the surveillance footage came out, Liu Haoyu’s suspicion could be directly ruled out.
However, Zhao Long had checked the surveillance footage inside the farm before and found nothing unusual, so he didn’t have high hopes.
However, not long after, a video was handed to Zhao Long.
“What? They really found a suspicious person?!”
Zhao Long opened the video in disbelief and watched it carefully.
He saw in the video a suspicious man dragging a suitcase into the farm from the back door.
The suitcase was very large and heavy, leaving two tracks on the ground.
“That’s strange? We didn’t find this video when we retrieved the surveillance footage…”
Zhao Long zoomed in on the video, and when he saw the man’s face clearly, he froze.
The person dragging the suitcase in the video… was Zhao Kaiwen, who had disappeared in Beiming City last month?!
————————
“Those police officers didn’t investigate you.”
In the hotel, Qin Liu said to Liu Haoyu, who was taking a shower in the bathroom.
“In that situation, you were also very suspicious, right?”
“I am a thorough good person.”
Even if the murderer had deleted the surveillance video inside the farm, he had plenty of ways to restore these files.
Therefore, once it was known that the corpse was located in the farm, the police would immediately retrieve all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity, eliminate them one by one, and search for it.
He believed that the murderer would be locked onto soon.
“Speaking of which…”
Qin Liu lay on the bed, her white stockings uncontrollably swaying up and down.
“Who do you think the murderer is?”
“Zhao Kaiwen.”
“Ah?” Qin Liu raised her small head and said, “Wasn’t he eaten by a bear when he went up the mountain with his wife?”
“He disappeared, he wasn’t eaten by a bear.”
Liu Haoyu, dressed in his clothes, walked out of the bathroom. His short hair was still wet from washing, but he looked exceptionally handsome.
If he didn’t speak, he could be considered a cold and handsome man.
Especially his eyes, indifferent and sharp, giving a very oppressive feeling.
However, it was ruined as soon as he opened his mouth.
He only had white stockings and a shrimp head in his mind.
“There’s his figure in the surveillance video, and he disappeared, not died.”
“Then could it be the ghost infant’s doing?”
Qin Liu pondered, knowing that the ghost infant in the house had crushed Qiao Siyi’s soul. It was also a suspect.
Moreover, Qin Liu had always thought that the ghost infant had killed the person, but she didn’t expect Liu Haoyu to give an answer that completely surprised her.
As for this, Liu Haoyu explained.
“People killed by a ghost infant will directly scatter their souls and cannot become fierce ghosts. If Qiao Siyi was indeed killed by a ghost infant, then she would not have been able to communicate with us from the beginning.”
Compared to the half-understanding Qin Liu, Liu Haoyu’s understanding of ghosts and monsters was more professional.
The man sat beside Qin Liu and continued,
“Just a casual mention, ghost infants are born from the union of humans and ghosts. Zhao Kaiwen and his wife were both humans, but their daughter was a ghost infant. So… do you understand what I mean?”
“Ah, this?”
Qin Liu paused for a while before hesitantly saying.
“…Cheating?”
“Yes.”
Liu Haoyu nodded.
“And it was cheating with a ghost.”
“This is a bit much.”
Qin Liu found it hard to believe.
This young girl had very traditional views, and cheating was already shocking enough for her.
And then to cheat with a ghost…
This had a great impact on Qin Liu’s young soul.
Liu Haoyu stared at Qin Liu’s small face, lost in thought.
And this little ghost was stunned, not noticing that Liu Haoyu was looking at her.
However, Qin Liu soon noticed Liu Haoyu’s gaze, and she looked at Liu Haoyu in confusion.
But the man not only did not withdraw his gaze, but continued to stare at Qin Liu.
This made her feel a chill in her heart.
She covered her feet with the blanket.
Now Qin Liu could discern many things.
Except for being unable to eat directly, she was basically no different from a human.
“By the way, do you want to go eat Kentucky?”
“Yes!”
Qin Liu, who was feeling a bit cold from being stared at, immediately stood up. Her excitement was infectious to Liu Haoyu.
It had to be admitted that this little ghost really liked those fried foods.
“Aren’t you afraid of getting fat?”
Qin Liu patted her chest armor and said.
“How can a ghost get fat?”
Although Liu Haoyu was a professional ghost exorcist, Qin Liu’s situation was indeed too special. After all, a ghost that could resemble a human so much, let alone Liu Haoyu, even the whole of China had very few people who had seen it.
Perhaps someone would say, wasn’t that old lady very much like a human?
Heh~ An Qinglian, who was forced to eat dumplings by her in her dreams, did not think so.
“Let’s go.”
The man and the ghost left the hotel and headed towards the pedestrian street.
The time was approaching noon, but there had been no sun in the past few days. The cool weather had brought many people to the pedestrian street for a stroll.
