I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 185 The FBI is coming? Get in line
"Some time ago, Rowling and I were busy giving public lectures at universities in various parts of Los Angeles. As soon as we finished, we prepared to go and investigate. As a result..."

At this point, Ed paused and did not continue speaking, but instead shifted the topic to the three incidents again.

"These are just the information sent by the parties involved. Their authenticity still needs to be verified."

"But please rest assured that the remuneration you should pay will not be reduced at all."

"I know."

Su Fan nodded slightly and looked at Rowling who looked a little unhealthy.

From the beginning of the conversation, it was her husband Ed who was negotiating with Su Fan, and she had no intention of speaking at all.

Obviously, the battle between Su Fan and Bai Meng caused great harm to Rowling.

Rowling, who just wanted to investigate the truth of the matter, probably didn't expect that she would suffer such an unexpected disaster.

"In the future, if you encounter a strange incident with a large impact, don't make a profiling decision easily."

Su Fan's sudden suggestion stunned Luo Lin.

The words that Ed wanted to say got stuck in his throat.

"I know that you can see things that other people can't see through psychic and profiling, but this ability also comes with risks."

"Some powerful evil beings can cause great harm to the peepers just by looking at them."

"You've felt the consequences yourself, haven't you?"

"That's right..."

Rowling admitted, then gave a wry smile.

"Maybe it's because I don't have enough ability..."

Ed immediately placed his hand on the back of Rowling's somewhat cold hand to comfort her depressed mood.

"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Su."

"I hope everything goes well with your next exorcism."

The couple stood up, said goodbye to Su Fan, and prepared to leave.

When he reached the door, Ed suddenly stopped.

"Actually, I have something very important to tell you, Mr. Su."

"In the near future, there may be federal agents coming to visit."

"This is also the news I heard from the Vatican."

"I hope you can be mentally prepared and avoid direct conflict with them."

After saying this, Ed supported his wife and walked out of the store.

Su Fan's expression did not change much.

Expected.

Su Fan's previous exorcism operations were all minor, but this time it affected an entire community and was considered a serious security threat.

Since they have shown up, it means that they had already noticed Su Fan's peculiarity through clues before, but they just never paid attention to it.

Most people probably think that Su Fan is just a small-time psychic and will never amount to anything significant.

Federal investigators...

A slight smile appeared on Su Fan's lips.

The two idiots he had come into contact with before often acted like that and nothing happened.

Why would he be nervous about this group of people coming to visit him?
Whether a conflict will arise depends not on Su Fan, but on the attitude of the other party.

But Su Fan doesn’t have the time to care about the federal investigators now. Rehabilitation training is more important to him.

If you want to meet, please queue up first.

He picked up a few photos and a stack of documents of moderate thickness on the table.

When I looked through it, I found that most of them were annotations written by Ed.

Of course, the premise of these annotations is that all the information provided is true.

With such a meticulous mind, it is no wonder that he, as a mortal, could marry Rowling, who was born with special abilities, and become the latter's spiritual pillar.

[The three stages of demon and evil spirit activity are divided into harassment, oppression, and possession. ]

[All three incidents are still at the stage of harassment, but the severity varies.]

[From a mental perspective, the most dangerous thing should be...]

Su Fan's attention shifted to the woman in the middle group of photos.

Her husband was a policeman, but he died in the line of duty, leaving her with only two children.

Although life is tight, I still pay attention to my children's growth.

Not only that, he also joined the community's child protection service department.

Her name is...
-
"Anna!"

In the community service department's office, a colleague opened his hand and waved it in front of the dazed woman.

The woman seemed to have finally come to her senses and looked at her colleague in a daze.

"What's wrong..."

"What's wrong? Brand asked you how the form he had commissioned you to make was going... What's wrong with you? I called you several times just now and you didn't respond."

Another colleague spoke up.

"She probably hasn't finished it yet. She's been staring at the computer since a while ago. It's been about 40 minutes now."

After saying that, he looked at Anna.

"Didn't you get enough rest recently?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Anna smiled reluctantly.

"Are you still feeling guilty about what happened to that crazy woman earlier?"

The colleague who came to urge Anna to submit the form saw that Anna looked unhappy, so he did not continue to urge her, but patiently counseled her. "Don't think too much... Who would lock their children in a cabinet to protect them... Normal people would not do such a thing."

"It is indeed regrettable that those two children died unexpectedly, but you don't have to take it all as your responsibility."

Everyone in the unit knows Anna's current situation. It is not easy for a single mother to raise two children, so everyone is taking care of her intentionally or unintentionally.

"Thank you for your comfort..."

Anna nodded.

"Here's a cup of hot cocoa for you. If you have any difficulties, please report them to your superiors immediately. As for Brand, I will help you deal with it."

"Thanks……"

The colleague gently placed the cocoa-scented cup in his hand on Anna's desk and turned away.

The former's heartwarming gesture made Anna feel a little better.

But it’s just some.

Some time ago, they received a report that a woman named Patricia in the community was suspected of abusing her two children.

Therefore, the higher-ups of the department decided to send a member along with the police to forcibly secure the child.

Anna had been in charge of Patricia and the two children's affairs for the past few years. She felt that there must be some misunderstanding, so she volunteered.

But it's a pity.

Patricia herself was indeed behaving as abnormally and aggressively as reported.

Not only that, she also claimed that there were evil spirits that would harm her children and refused to cooperate with the investigation.

In desperation, the police broke into the house.

After some searching, they found that the two children were locked in the cabinet by her.

Patricia, who was under control, became extremely excited when she saw Anna open the cabinet.

Claiming that it can't be done, otherwise something terrible will happen.

But no one took the words of this suspected mentally ill woman seriously.

They opened the cabinet but saw nothing except two shivering children.

While checking their physical condition, they found burn scars on the children's wrists.

When Anna asked them if the scars were caused by their mother, they all shook their heads.

At that time, people did not take the children's response as the truth. They just thought that they were protecting their mother even if they were abused.

Patricia was taken away and detained without any suspense, and the two children were temporarily placed in a charity.

But the next day, the sad news came that two children had drowned.

When Anna and the others hurried over, they only saw two bodies in the creek.

The stream was very shallow, not even up to the child's thigh height, and he would have drowned. It was obviously a deliberate murder.

All suspicion points to Patricia, who had a history of sadism, but after Anna meets her, she hears something completely different from what they saw and thought.

The reason why the two children were locked in the cabinet was to hide them from Urona's pursuit.

This Eurona is the name of a female ghost widely spread in Mexico.

Because of Anna and the others' actions, all Patricia's previous efforts were destroyed.

The two children were found by Urona, drowned in the river.

Although the hatred and sadness in Patricia's eyes did not seem fake, Anna still refused to believe the so-called evil spirit harming people.

Until she discovered that her child had the same burns on his wrist as Patricia's child.

The eldest son Chris told Anna that he had such scars because his wrists were grabbed by a scary woman.

Shortly thereafter, youngest daughter April suffered similar burns on her wrist.

All these anomalies made Anna more and more suspicious.

But she still believed in the education she had received since she was a child, and somewhere in her heart, she prayed that these were just pranks by children.

But reality soon ruthlessly shattered her fantasy.

Chris suddenly began to show symptoms of sleepwalking, and each time he seemed to be called by something and walked towards the door.

Anna worried about her son's safety every night and her sleep quality plummeted.

What follows is mental weakness and bad temper.

Normally, work that could be easily accomplished began to pile up due to many factors.

Anna was almost on the verge of collapse from all the stress these days.

She exhaled and was about to take a sip of the cocoa on the side, but suddenly found that the liquid in the cup seemed to be slowly rotating in a counterclockwise direction.

Out of curiosity, she picked up the quilt and looked at it carefully.

The brown liquid rotated slowly, and tiny folds floated on the water surface from time to time.

Anna's eyes gradually became dazed.

At this moment, a strange and terrifying human face suddenly emerged! !
Anna suddenly shuddered, let out a scream, and subconsciously threw the cup away.

The teacup broke and the cocoa spilled all over the floor.

This movement attracted everyone's attention, and they all cast inquiring glances towards Anna.

Anna was still in shock. She immediately grabbed the car keys, stood up, hastily apologized to everyone, and walked straight out the door without even asking for leave from her superiors.

She didn't care about anything now and just wanted to go home.

The sound of her heels hitting the ground was extremely rapid, and soon she was outside.

It was a quiet night and the streets were empty.

Anna suddenly stopped, as if she sensed something, and turned her head to look to the side.

At this moment, a woman in a white dress was standing quietly in the distance...
