Chapter 954: The Detective Who Could See Ghosts (34)
Yao Ying got into trouble on all sides, and just as the saying goes, when it rains it pours. It seemed every authority and organization was blocking her. They refused her for one thing or another.
Under such circumstances, people inside the company also became restless.
They seized part of Yao Ying’s power with the excuse that she had made the company suffer great losses.
Yao Ying tried to ask for help from her second uncle, yet the latter shut his door and didn’t meet her.
Her second uncle had always disliked her father, but they were family, how could he fold his hands and watch her die?
Yao Ying waited for several days, then her second uncle delivered a note to her.
There was only one sentence on it—Submit to the will of Heaven.
Submit to the will of Heaven?
Why would she do that...
“Boss Yao, what choice do you have now?”
Yao Ying looked at the man in fine clothes opposite her and felt her heart bleeding.
She was a spoiled young miss, yet now she had to sit here and deal with this kind of man.
She bore the man’s ill-disposed measuring eyes and all kinds of unreasonable demands.
Yao Ying stood up angrily. “I have some business so I’ll leave now.”
“Ai, Boss Yao.” The man reached out and stopped her. “Since we’re here already, you can’t go back for nothing, right? As I said just now, if you could stay one night with me, the fund won’t be a problem. You know the last thing I’m short of is money.”
“Get away!”
The man didn’t force her, though. He shrugged and put down his hand.
Yao Ying walked out in her high heels. As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw two people kissing in the lonely corridor.
In her brain, thunder seemed to sound from the clear sky.
The man she liked... Why wouldn’t he even spare a look on her.
She went to Meng Han, too, but Meng Han said... she had offended the Gu family, and anyone who was smart wouldn’t help her at this time.
It was not that Meng Han was scared of the Gu family, but he...
He just didn’t want to help her.
Yao Ying’s body swayed, then she was caught by someone from behind.
“Boss Yao, be careful,” the man’s giddy voice said.
Yao Ying trembled. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and asked, “Can you really help me?”
The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled. “Of course I can.”
...
“Mister Gu, the Yao family has gained a sum of money, do we need to continue?”
“Who is so rich to fund them?” Gu Zhi said as he opened a file. “If he’s so rich, he should do some charity.”
“Got it.”
Gu Zhi hung up the phone and then gave a call to Ming Shu. “Wife, can you come and be a consultant now?”
Ming Shu said something on the other end. Gu Zhi’s expression distorted and he took a deep breath. “Okay, I’ll come and pick you up, wait for me.”
Gu Zhi went to pick up Ming Shu and paid her bills, then took her to the bureau.
It was exactly the case of missing kids Chen Wen had mentioned.
Ming Shu still had some impression of those kids following Chen Wen last time.
There were many of them...
They could also leave with Chen Wen, which seemed a little significant.
Chen Wen was important here.
If those little ghosts were still with Chen Wen, they would answer some questions.
The kids were indeed still following behind Chen Wen. No matter where Chen Wen went, they would follow closely, without any further movement, like a bunch of small zombies.
If Chen Wen could see that scene, he would have probably been frightened to death.
“They said they were murdered right there.” Ming Shu pointed to a building not far. It was an abandoned building in the suburbs.
Gu Zhi signaled the others behind him with his hand. They scattered around and approached the building.
Waiting for them to finish the check and confirm it was safe, Gu Zhi took Ming Shu in.
There was a terrible smell in the building. Gu Zhi walked in front and looked back at Ming Shu from time to time, fearing that she might hit something or get herself injured.
“All searched, nothing is suspicious...”
“Chief Gu, there’s something here.”
Gu Zhi walked over. Ming Shu stood on the ground between the first and the second floor, staring at a female ghost standing in the corner.
“They ran away, they ran away, kill them, kill them...”
The female ghost repeated the words constantly.
“Where did they run?” Ming Shu asked.
The female ghost looked up and precisely met with Ming Shu’s smiling eyes.
“You... you can see me?”
“Yes.”
The female ghost floated over. “Help me catch those animals.”
“Is this your request?”
The female ghost didn’t seem to understand, but she nodded.
“If I fulfill what you request, you’ll disappear,” Ming Shu explained.
“As long as you can catch those animals, I’ll be willing to do anything.”
“Tell me about their appearance.”
According to the female ghost, those people were a very cautious group. They abducted children and women and sold them to other places, gaining money without risking anything of their own.
During this time, the group leader who was responsible for this area seemed to have encountered something. Regardless of their previous rules, he made a big trade and attracted the police’s attention.
This place used to be their foothold. If some kids didn’t listen to them or wouldn’t keep quiet, they would beat and torture them, which had caused many of the kids’ deaths.
Those kids Ming Shu saw were not the ones that went missing recently, but the ones that had been killed all these years.
According to the female ghost’s description, the suspects’ portrait was soon presented.
But the others looked at Ming Shu quite weirdly.
This consultant... just talked to herself on and on!
She just came here once, so how would she know what the suspects looked like?
The suspects’ identities were soon found out. Many of them had criminal records, but they must have hidden somewhere now, so it would take some time to catch them.
But before they sorted out everything, the consultant invited by Chief Gu walked into the police station in the early morning, carrying a bag of steamed stuffed buns, followed by a bunch of people.
They thought she was here for a party.
All the police: “...”
What was the use of them?
They began to doubt their purpose.
Ming Shu was quick to arrest the suspects, but...
The policemen tried to gather evidence to the point of spitting blood.
She didn’t care about evidence, and thought the best way was to arrest them all.
The murderers then “turned themselves in,” so they had to put them in custody.
Finally, the evidence indeed proved that these people she arrested were the murderers.
Otherwise they would suspect that she might have caught a person on the road casually and forced him to confess.
[Yao Ying’s Hatred Points are at full capacity.]
Ming Shu suddenly received the Harmony System’s reminder.
Yao Ying’s Hatred Points were full... But she didn’t seem to have done something recently.
Forget it.
The task is done.
And one step closer to one million.
“Wife, our father wants to see you.” He had promised to take her back before and the old man urged him several times.
Before Ming Shu refused, Gu Zhi said quickly, “He has prepared a table of delicious food for you.”
“Oh.” I should go then.
Father Gu was very easygoing. But this man, who ran such a large group, was by no means a Buddha-like elder.
The meeting went well.
Father Gu used to be picky about Gu Zhi’s girlfriends, but now as long as Gu Zhi took home a living, breathing girl, he would be okay with it.
Afterwards, Ming Shu’s daily life was like finding ghosts—solving cases—buying snacks—occasionally sleeping with Gu Zhi.
Gu Zhi’s daily was being angered to fly to the sky, but then he had to happily discuss with his wife on what to have for dinner.
Under Ming Shu’s unremitting efforts, the entire city’s rate of solved criminal cases rose perpendicularly, while the crime rate dropped perpendicularly.
Everyone in the police station knew that there was a consultant who could solve a case fast, and if you met any difficult crimes, asking for her help would be a doomed choice.
Provided that—
You gave her snacks.
The consultant preferred snacks instead of money.
This was really Buddha-like.
