Chapter 56 Clues
“How is it?”
Seeing Liu Haoyu staring blankly, Liu Zining immediately felt a little proud.
She said smiling.
“My older sister is very beautiful, right?”
“Very beautiful.”
This was undeniable.
Liu Qian’s appearance was among the best of the girls Liu Haoyu had met.
She was even on par with Liu Zining in front of him.
And such a beautiful girl died young due to an accident.
It was truly heartbreaking.
Coupled with the ugly face of the rescued person mentioned by Liu Zining, this made Liu Haoyu feel an inexplicable anger.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said.
“It’s okay, thanks.”
But this made Liu Zining a little at a loss.
“I thought you had something important to do, so you asked me to bring out my sister’s photo.”
“…Aren’t you just trying to see my sister’s photo?”
Liu Zining’s questioning gaze made Liu Haoyu cough awkwardly.
He originally thought that Qin Liu was Liu Zining’s sister, but after seeing the photo, he realized it was not.
This was indeed a bit awkward.
Fortunately, Liu Zining didn’t seem to mind, and she took the photo back from Liu Haoyu.
“Speaking of which, Brother Liu, have you eaten dinner?”
“If not, I can make something…”
“Okay, regrettably, I just found out there’s only instant noodles left at home. Shall we eat out?”
Liu Haoyu looked at the time.
It was 8:30 PM, and at this point, Liu Zining hadn’t eaten yet?
This guy was really quite decadent…
“Don’t look at me like that,” Liu Zining said indifferently. “After all, I’m all alone. If no one is watching at home, it’s indeed too unrestrained.”
“Don’t you secretly watch TV or play games when your parents go out when you were a child?”
In response to Liu Zining’s question, Liu Haoyu fell silent for ten seconds.
Then he slowly shook his head and said.
“I did.”
As a ghost exorcist, Liu Zining’s intuition and ability to read people were already good. Seeing Liu Haoyu’s reply, she realized that her question was a bit inappropriate and quickly apologized.
“Sorry…”
“What’s there to be sorry about?”
Liu Haoyu shook his head, not paying too much attention to her words, but reminded her like an elder.
“No matter what, your own body is the most important.”
“If your sister saw you like this, she probably wouldn’t be happy either, right?”
Liu Zining seemed to have thought of something.
“It seems like the guide also told you something similar.”
“Oh?”
Liu Haoyu became interested. He first confirmed that Qin Liu was still inside Hong Yu, and then asked Liu Zining.
“What else did the guide tell you?”
“Well… not much, really.”
Liu Zining recounted to Liu Haoyu what the red shadow had said the night before.
After hearing it, the latter began to savor and ponder it carefully.
But he couldn’t figure out anything from it.
He only knew that Qin Liu seemed to have known Liu Zining for a long time.
What exactly was going on…
“Gulp~”
While Liu Haoyu was thinking, an untimely sound rang out.
The sound was not loud, but it was incredibly loud in the quiet room.
Liu Zining pretended not to know anything, and coughed twice.
“Let’s go have dinner together… as a late-night snack.”
“Besides, didn’t you want to talk to me about the ghost infant before you came?”
“Let’s talk while we eat, my treat.”
——————
After the man and the young girl sat at the late-night snack stall.
The gazes of the people around them couldn’t help but turn towards them.
On one hand, Liu Zining was indeed very beautiful…
On the other hand, it was also because her eating posture was really a bit wild.
This made Liu Haoyu’s expression, sitting opposite her, a little stiff.
“Hmm? Brother Liu, why aren’t you eating?”
“I’m not hungry yet.”
Liu Zining’s eating posture reminded Liu Haoyu of a certain little ghost.
That guy ate like he was a hungry ghost reincarnated.
But even so, Qin Liu’s eating posture was much more refined than Liu Zining’s.
“That’s truly a pity.”
Liu Zining, without any politeness, picked up the barbecue from the plate.
At the same time, her gaze was constantly appraising Liu Haoyu.
She hadn’t paid much attention before, but looking at him now, besides his slightly handsome face.
She could also see his dark circles and his haggard appearance.
Could it be caused by excessive indulgence?
“Do you want some chives?”
“…No, really.”
Liu Haoyu’s mouth twitched. How could he not know the meme about chives being an aphrodisiac, but he wasn’t really weak.
He was just sleep-deprived.
And wasn’t Liu Zining the same?
This young girl was also sporting panda eyes, clearly a night owl.
“I have a rough idea about what happened in the air-raid shelter a few years ago.”
“Although the police classified it as an accident,”
“I discovered some different clues.”
Seeing Liu Zining’s secretive look, Liu Haoyu, who had intended to continue talking about Qin Liu, had no choice but to chime in.
There was no way, as his excuse for visiting was the ghost infant.
“Elaborate.”
“I didn’t pay much attention before, but the night before last, after I entered the air-raid shelter and fainted, I saw a situation completely different from the police’s findings.”
“In that dark air-raid shelter, the child was laughing and talking, saying something I don’t know.”
“But the problem is, there was no one around her, and I don’t know who she was talking to.”
“Even more bizarrely, with the help of the Special Task Force, I investigated the identities of the two children involved in the accident… The results showed that”
“The other child died 8 years ago, with an unknown name and unknown identity. All information was blank, even her facial features were missing…”
“The next day, when people arrived at the morgue, they found that the faceless corpse had rotted down to just bones, and not even DNA could be extracted.”
“Shortly after the incident, when the case was completely closed, a police officer suddenly entered the air-raid shelter for some unknown reason.”
“Although he was unharmed, for some reason, he completely lost his mind.”
“After he went mad, he returned home to recuperate. However, from that time on, a child would often appear in his village without any reason…”
At this point, Liu Zining put down the barbecue skewer in her hand and said with a very serious expression.
“So, I speculate that this supernatural event has a strong diffusion ability. As for the second deceased person with completely unknown information… it is very likely the ghost infant.”
