This actor is full of tricks.

The driver had told a story about his own life, which revolved around the strangeness of the mirror. When Lin Jue noticed something in the mirror in the room, he had a vague guess in his mind, and seeing this photo confirmed it.

Lin Jue put the photo back, and suddenly, he felt something was wrong. When the back of his hand touched the back of the coffee table, it felt very slippery and sticky.

He raised his hand, revealing a smear of blood on the back of his hand. He narrowed his eyes slightly and leaned down to look behind the coffee table.

On the back of the coffee table was a blood-red circular pattern, exactly the same as the one I had seen at Ya Ya's house.

The design looks like it was just drawn recently; the blood hasn't completely dried yet.

"It's this pattern again. He Youliang's dormitory also has it. This thing is a sacrificial rune. That driver was also used as a sacrificial offering."

Lin Jue reached out and wiped away the pattern, then walked out of the room. He planned to have Hu Rui check where the driver was now.

When he reached the top floor, he saw the illegally constructed steel shed. The door was sealed, proving that a murder had occurred there.

Lin Jue tore open the seal and pushed the door open. A strong stench hit him, but he was the only one who smelled it; the other monsters didn't react at all.

Because the steel shed had no windows, the room was somewhat dark. Lin Jue tried to pull the light cord, but the light in the room did not turn on. He could only stretch out his fingers and use the light from the flames to examine everything in the room.

The room was originally filled with clutter, leaving almost no room to stand. There was very little furniture, only a single bed made of bricks in the corner, along with pots, pans, and a simple earthen stove placed beside the bed.

The sheets and pillows on the bed were a dark yellow color, obviously they hadn't been changed in a long time. Lin Jue didn't care about the dirt, and simply lifted the entire sheet.

The circular pattern reappeared on a brick beneath the bed sheet.

"Another one..."

"This bachelor is dead, He Youliang is dead, and Ya Ya's family also has this pattern. If it really is a sacrificial offering, then was Ya Ya's father also targeted?"

"Qu Ming's shrine is related to that group of cultists. We must go and eliminate those cultists, otherwise Ya Ya's father may be in danger."

"And that driver..."

Lin Jue threw the blanket back down, walked out of the room, and stood on the rooftop gazing at the second building next door.

According to the driver, the patient carried the shrine into that building, which means that Sanjiang's shrine was very likely hidden in the second building.

Without any hesitation, Lin Jue went straight to the second building. This time, he carefully went into every room to check, leaving no corner unchecked.

The old man followed behind him, looking puzzled: "What are you looking for? This is the twenty-seventh door you've damaged. Do you know how much you'll have to pay for it?"

"It's alright, I'll just hand the money over to the Inspection Department and have them compensate these residents for me." Lin Jue frowned as he walked down the corridor. He had already searched all three floors but hadn't found anything.

"Let's search separately; I need to find a small shrine."

To save time, Lin Jue had all the ghosts disperse and search each room one by one.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Jue came out of the room where the young couple had died. He Wen was the first to return, shaking her head and saying, "There's no shrine." The old man returned not long after, saying, "Honestly, with my old arms and legs, I still had to climb so many floors. I didn't find the shrine, but I did discover a lot of the youthful anxieties of single young people."

As he spoke, the old man, with a sly look on his face, shoved a CD into Lin Jue's hand: "I brought you back something good, you've been single for so long..."

"Be serious." Lin Jue said helplessly. The old man's personality was becoming more and more unruly. He was so old, yet he acted like a child.

The other ghosts returned later, saying they hadn't found anything. They had even searched the rooftop, practically turning the whole building upside down, but they still hadn't seen any shrine.

There is no shrine?

This is impossible?
The exact words the driver said were that the patient carried the shrine into the building next door. The driver lived in building 1, and the building next door was building 2.

Did the patient later move the shrine to another location?

Lin Jue turned his head to look at the three buildings in the corridor, and without hesitation, led a large group of strange creatures toward the third building.

To his disappointment, he and a group of ghosts had almost turned the third building upside down, but they still couldn't find the shrine. Not to mention the shrine, they couldn't even find a similar box.

He ran back to the building and searched every house and even the entire neighborhood, but still couldn't find the so-called shrine.

"This neighborhood is so small, where could the shrine be?" Lin Jue scanned the entire neighborhood, then returned to the driver's house to take the one-inch photo and handed it to Hu Rui, who was guarding the entrance of the neighborhood.

"Brother Hu, can you help me find where this person is now?"

Hu Rui took the photo, glanced at it, and said, "You mean this guy?"

Seeing the look of realization on Hu Rui's face, Lin Jue asked, "Judging from your tone, Brother Hu, do you know him?"

“I wouldn’t say I knew him, but I had a vague impression of him. When we were evacuating the residents, this guy suddenly went crazy, shouting and yelling, and even tried to run away.” Hu Rui returned the photo to Lin Jue: “Later, we managed to subdue him and took him to the psychiatric department of the Third Hospital for examination.”

Is it the psychiatric department of the Third Hospital?

Lin Jue lowered his eyelids slightly, and then heard Hu Rui ask, "Minister Zhou, are you going to see him? He should be almost done with his examination by now. I'll drive you there."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble." Lin Jue didn't stand on ceremony and got into the car with Hu Rui.

The Third Hospital boasts top-tier medical facilities in the entire Jiangdong Province. Although its main focus is on cardiovascular tumors, it is also strong in the treatment of other diseases, and even has a separate building dedicated to psychiatry.

The vehicle drove directly into the underground parking lot of the psychiatric building. Hu Rui asked Lin Jue to wait a moment, took out his phone to ask which floor the driver had taken him to, and after hanging up, he said directly to Lin Jue, "Minister Zhou, go directly to section F on the fourth floor. That guy has been arranged to be hospitalized for treatment. My colleague will pick you up after you go up. I won't accompany you. I still have things to deal with over there."

"Okay, thanks a lot, Brother Hu." Lin Jue opened the car door, then seemed to remember something and opened the QR code on his phone's Fetion app: "Brother Hu, let's add each other's contact information."

Hu Rui chuckled as he scanned Lin Jue's QR code. This suited him perfectly; no one in the world wouldn't want to be associated with the Inspection Department, especially when the other party was such a young minister with a promising future. (End of Chapter)
