Midnight Bookstore Chapter 393 – Curse

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Have the results of the investigation been released yet?”

Lawyer An sat in the car and sent a voice message in the wechat group.

This was a wechat group that had been established to facilitate mobile communication. The people from the study room who had partic.i.p.ated in this event, as well as the three ghost messengers who had rushed back from other places, were all in this wechat group.

The group's name was:

“s.e.xy old Daoist deals cards online…”

Soon, Zheng Qiang replied with a message: “Soon.”

Lawyer An put down his chair and let himself lie down. He reached out and rubbed his eyes. Even now, when he thought of the ceiling-filled eyes in the image that he had entered, he still felt a little fl.u.s.tered.

If it were in the past, he would definitely not continue to investigate this matter, because this might bring about a crisis for himself.

Even though Lawyer An had been involved in both black and white, which sounded very impressive, if he had been stubborn in everything, he would have died countless times already.

That curse was indeed very powerful, and judging from its condition, only a few eyes in the ceiling were half-open. It was obvious that it was still in a state of eternal sleep and had not fully awakened.

If his investigation continued to provoke it and wait for it to fully awaken, the consequences would be serious.

But since Zhou Ze was determined to continue the investigation and find out the truth for his employees…

Lawyer An couldn't say the word “No”either,

in other words…

he was also Zhou Ze's employee now. What did you mean by stopping the boss from saving his employees?

Did you want the boss to give up on you after encountering something in the future?

As his thoughts wandered, a message came again in the wechat group,

“I've already investigated the information of the deceased. It's being sent to the group now.”

Zheng Qiang and Liu Chuyu were in charge of investigating the information of the deceased old man,

because it was impossible for the old Daoist to kill someone,

and that person was dead,

so…

there must be another reason for that person's death.

Obtaining the information of that old man was also a very crucial matter.

Because if there was something that wanted to target the study room…

you could say that it did not directly attack Zhou Ze for the sake of being cautious, but was it necessary to be so cautious that it targeted the old Daoist first?

This was like a war between two countries,

one of the countries sent out excellent a.s.sa.s.sins,

they deliberately went to a.s.sa.s.sinate the gatekeeper at the other country's city gate..

Of course, it was difficult even for the police to quickly investigate a person's life information. This thing was not something that could be found just by sitting in front of the computer and typing on the keyboard. Only a few words were needed for the household registration information?

They would have to pay a visit or even use some special methods if the other party did not cooperate. For this kind of thing, it was very convenient to let two ghosts with special abilities do it.

Lawyer An tagged Old Zhang in the group chat,

Old Zhang replied with an “OK”emoji.

Then…

Lawyer An turned his body sideways and looked out of the car window. The opposite side was the police station.

“Whoos.h.!.+”

“Whoos.h.!.+”

“Whoos.h.!.+”

Three Silver Needles flew out and pierced the three police officers on duty. The three of them fell into a deep sleep.

For a moment…

three Sleeping Maori Kogoro appeared at the entrance of the detention center.

Yueya put down the remaining silver needles in her hand, clapped her hands at Old Zhang, and said,

“It's settled. They need to sleep for half an hour.”

Old Zhang nodded. Although this feeling of sneaking into the detention center was a little strange, at this time, he definitely could not be bothered about his personal moral cleanliness.

He had already been expelled by the Special Task Force and was not allowed to interfere in this case

The reason was to bring outsiders to partic.i.p.ate in the investigation. This was a violation of discipline. However, no one doubted that there would be any problems with him, a hero of the police world who had just returned from a life-and-death struggle after making a contribution as an undercover.

He moved his three colleagues to sit on the chairs so that they could sleep more comfortably.

As for the surveillance cameras here, Old Zhang had tampered with them before he came,

therefore,

the strongest fortresses were usually broken through from the inside.

Zhang Yanfeng felt a little uncomfortable as he acted as the main villain in a police film.

However, he immediately found the person he was looking for and opened the door. He stretched out his leg and gently kicked the sleeping old man who was lying on the mat.

The old man was the murderer from 16 years ago,

because there was still a follow-up investigation that had not ended and the court had not sentenced him, the old man was still temporarily locked up in the detention center of the police station.

After he was sentenced, he would be transferred to the prison. What awaited him was a firing squad.

This old man was also interesting. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was unpardonable and evil, but he was not afraid of death. If his boss had not reached out to him, he would have jumped off the building and committed suicide.

However…

this kind of person was often the scariest.

The old man rubbed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him with some doubt. Then, he said helplessly,

“I've already said that I did not bury the extra corpse, and it has nothing to do with me. I wish I had killed it, but it really wasn't me.

Alright…

let Me Sleep…

i'm old…

i Don't sleep well to begin with.”

Zhang Yanfeng lifted the old man up,

even though Old Zhang was a good police officer, he did not have any psychological burden to deal with this sc.u.m.

“I still have some other things I want to ask you.”

“Alright, Alright. I'll talk, I'll talk. Let Me Go, let me go.”

Zhang Yanfeng let go of his hand,

his phone took out a photo,

he placed it in front of the old man,

he asked,

“Do you know him?”

“Yes?”

The old man moved his face closer and looked at it carefully. He said in puzzlement, “He seems… familiar.”

“I've investigated this guy's past and found that he used to be a retired worker in the textile factory. It's the textile factory that used to be behind your house.”

“Oh! ! !”The old man immediately exclaimed, “I remember now, I remember now. It's him, Old Liu!”

“As expected, we know each other.”

“We know each other, of course we know each other.”.

Hahaha…

didn't I tell you guys before…

that I was embarra.s.sing myself there…

a Guy foolishly picked it up, thinking that he had taken advantage of it,

he ate so much that his mouth was full of oil, yet he deliberately came to me to show off,

the one who often plays chess with me…

old Liu!”

Hearing this,

Old Zhang's eyes immediately lit up,

he grabbed the old man's collar,

he said in a deep voice,

“You said that he has eaten human flesh?”

The old Daoist leaned there in a daze, constantly drooling.

Yueya was too lazy to find the key. She directly took a silver needle to open the lock and walked in.

There were definitely more than these two people locked up in the detention center,

but that old man was a murderer,

the old Daoist in front of him was also suspected to be an executioner who had more than ten lives on his back,

it was reasonable for him to enjoy the treatment of an independent “Big bed room”.

“Old Daoist, wake up, Old Daoist, wake up!”

Yueya reached out and pushed the old Daoist,

the old Daoist opened his eyes,

he looked at the woman in front of him.

“Do you still recognize me?” Yueya pointed at herself and asked.

“The new… Lackey that the boss took in…”

“…” Yueya.

At this moment…

an impulse suddenly rose in Yueya's heart,

that was to directly stab this old guy in front of her to death with a needle.

But she still suppressed the anger in her heart and continued to ask,

“The boss asked me to ask you something. Where did you use the talisman that you've always kept in your pants yesterday?”

The old Daoist shook his upper body in a daze,

“What is it…”

“The talisman, your talisman, the one that you've been hiding in your pants,” Yueya reminded him.

“I killed someone… I ate someone… I killed someone… I ate someone too… I'm guilty… I'm guilty… I'm really guilty…”

The old Daoist began to answer numbly,

his eyes, which were originally not clear, became even more chaotic.

“Hiss…”

The Yueya licked her lips and simply stabbed a silver needle into the old Daoist's chest. Then, she stirred it.

This was acupuncture. It did not cause death, but it could cause great pain.

However, the old Daoist continued to shake his body and drool as if nothing had happened.

It was as if…

he couldn't feel the pain at all.

This time…

there was nothing Moonfang could do.

Taking out her phone, Moonfang sent a message in the WeChat group:

“I can't get anything out of him. Moreover, I feel that his condition is more serious than what you guys described previously.”

“That's because the curse has started to spread. In the end, it will slowly devour his mind and erase his original thoughts.”.

So…

what we should be worried about now is not whether he will take the blame or not, but whether he will be executed on the execution ground,

but if we don't hurry up…

even if his physical body is not dead, his soul has long been tainted.

This is the result of him being suppressed by the Yang Realm's judicial aura at the police station.”

Lawyer An sent a message in the group chat.

“Boss, the group Chat said that the old Daoist's condition is not good. It's getting worse.”

Bai Yingying said to Zhou Ze on her phone.

The two of them had already entered the crime scene. The police had already set up a cordon and affixed a seal to it, but Zhou Ze still tore it open.

Valuable physical evidence had been taken away by the police, including the pots and pans in the kitchen. The originally empty room was now even more empty.

“The freezer is gone.”

Zhou Ze pursed his lips.

This…

how was he going to find it?

Old Master…

where would he use the talisman?

“Tell Old Zhang to think of a way to go to the evidence room with Yueya,” Zhou Ze said.

“Okay, Boss.”

Bai Yingying immediately replied.

After the reply, Bai Yingying looked at Zhou Ze and asked, “Boss, where are we going now?”

“Wait for me to go to the toilet, then we'll meet up with Old An and the others.”

Zhou Ze said,

he walked into the toilet,

fortunately…

the police did not move the toilet away.

Suddenly…

Zhou Ze was stunned,

he remembered that the record said that the old Daoist had told him that he had drunk a lot of alcohol that night. The woman downstairs also said that the old Daoist reeked of alcohol the second time he came to find her.

A half-drunk old Daoist…

stood in front of the toilet bowl…

and when he was about to take out the water from his crotch…

would he take out a talisman?

Then…

he would put the talisman…

on…

“Huh? Yingying, what are you doing?”

Zhou Ze was stunned,

he saw that Bai Yingying was squatting in front of him and helping him with his belt.

“Sob, sob, sob…”

It's okay, boss. You think about your things…

as for the rest,

Yingying will help you solve it.”

“…” Zhou Ze.
