Hong Kong Ghost Story: I've become an apprentice of Chung Fat-pak and will only play in the pea

With things mostly settled, Lin Xuan and Uncle Ying took a car to the New Territories Police Station.

"Nine Chrysanthemums Faction, here I come!"

...........................................

Chapter Sixty-Four: Ice Talisman Controlling Corpses! A 200-Pound Strongman!

New Territories Police Headquarters.

Because this case involves drugs, and the zombie did not harm anyone, there is no actual evidence that it is a paranormal event, so it does not fall under the jurisdiction of the GGT.

As soon as Lin Xuan and Uncle Ying got out of the car in front of the police station, two policemen in regular uniforms quickly walked up to them.

"Are you two the expert investigators that Director Ma brought from Kowloon?"

One of the police officers was quite handsome, but he looked rather nonchalant; he was Officer Lin.

The other person, with a square face and a somewhat simple-minded appearance, is Officer Miao, Officer Lin's partner.

At this moment, Officer Lin looked at Lin Xuan and Uncle Ying with a suspicious gaze.

Lin Xuan is alright. He's handsome, and after reaching the Earth Master realm, his temperament carries an air of transcendence. You can tell at a glance that he's not simple; he might indeed be a master at solving cases.

Uncle Ying was different; he had an upright air about him, but he looked like an old man next door.

Moreover, Uncle Ying had been a Taoist priest for decades, and his feudal and superstitious tendencies were very prominent.

Officer Lin received his education abroad as a child and has a very strong materialistic worldview.

At this moment, the policeman's intuition made him subconsciously distrust Uncle Ying after realizing his approximate identity.

"I am Lin Xuan, and this is my senior martial uncle. You can call him Uncle Ying."

Lin Xuan introduced it in a friendly manner.

"Uncle Ying!" Officer Miao stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.

Unlike Officer Lin, Officer Miao doesn't like to overthink things.

Director Ma assigned him to assist Lin Xuan and Uncle Ying in handling the case, so he took the two of them as his leaders.

"Uncle Ying!" Officer Lin called out reluctantly.

He muttered to himself, "Uncle-Master, could it be some kind of sect? What era are we living in? Why are they still doing this!"

There is indeed a master-apprentice system in the police station, but that's an old-fashioned approach, and Officer Lin strongly disapproves of it.

At the same time, he began to speculate about the identities of Lin Xuan and Uncle Ying.

Lin Xuan called Uncle Ying his senior brother.

They're probably all top investigators from Kowloon. He'll have someone check it out later.

“Yes, take us to see the body,” Uncle Ying said.

Before coming, Uncle Ying had already examined the body; this time, he brought Lin Xuan to see it again.

"Alright, the body is in the morgue. Follow me."

Officer Lin looked at Lin Xuan.

Compared to Uncle Ying, he still felt that Lin Xuan had a more elite temperament, which matched his imagination of a master detective.

The morgue is not far from the police station.

On the way, Officer Miao was still describing the events of the day before yesterday.

"This body is very strange. When it was alive, its leg was shot off, but it could still drag me for several blocks. Moreover, its body was very tough. It didn't even have any obvious injuries when it was hit by a truck."

"The strangest thing is that the forensic doctor said she was already dead before the truck hit her!"

After Officer Miao finished speaking, Officer Lin chimed in, "Yeah, these days forensic doctors are outrageous! How can a dead person be used to transport drugs, especially after being hit by a car!"

There have been many reports about zombies and ghosts in the newspapers lately, but Officer Lin hardly ever reads these kinds of newspapers.

As a staunch materialist, he viewed those zombie tales as nothing more than sensationalist writings by newspapers to grab attention, just like entertainment news.

To maintain sales, they'll write anything!

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan and Uncle Ying exchanged a glance.

Lin Xuan stated bluntly, "Dead people can actually move. You've probably heard that after death, the body becomes stiff but can still move; that's called a zombie."

"The lowest tier of zombie is the walking corpse, and I suspect that the corpse you're talking about is a walking corpse!"

If Uncle Ying had said those words, Officer Lin would definitely not have believed them, and would have even made some sarcastic remarks.

But Lin Xuan's serious tone made him laugh awkwardly twice, and he asked doubtfully, "Are you kidding me? How could a corpse move?"

"Recently, quite a few people in the newspapers have reported seeing zombies, but those are all hoaxes. You actually believe that?"

Officer Lin felt that Lin Xuan's demeanor made him realize that Lin Xuan was definitely not simple, but he did not believe Lin Xuan's claim that there were zombies.

Officer Miao asked doubtfully, "Are there really zombies? We've never seen one before. Besides, aren't zombies supposed to suck blood? The woman from the day before yesterday was perfectly normal; she didn't bite or suck blood, she just didn't talk."

"They don't look like the zombies described in the newspapers at all!"

Not all zombies suck blood!

Just then, Uncle Nine spoke up, “What you saw the day before yesterday was a walking corpse that was being controlled by someone. It had no mind and no desire to drink blood. It could only move when the caster of the spell made it move.”

Uncle Ying spoke with utmost seriousness, but to Officer Lin, it sounded as if he were being insulted to his intelligence.

"Really? That's amazing! Do you know how to control corpses like that? Let me see it later!" Officer Lin said exaggeratedly.

"I'll show you right away," Uncle Ying said coldly, glancing at Officer Lin.

Uncle Ying could easily see that Officer Lin suspected him and Lin Xuan.

Normally, he wouldn't bother arguing with such people, but now that Lin Xuan was around, Uncle Ying naturally wouldn't allow himself and Lin Xuan to be looked down upon.

Lin Xuan didn't really feel much about it.

Whether there are zombies or not, we'll find out when Officer Lin sees them.

The morgue was not far from the police station, and the four of them arrived there quickly.

Officer Miao took out his key and opened the cabinet door where the strange female corpse was kept.

“This is the body!” Officer Miao said.

Uncle Ying ignored him and looked at Lin Xuan instead, "The ice talisman is inside her head. Using ice talisman techniques to control the corpse is extremely well hidden. Only we cultivators can see it; even the coroner can't detect it!"

As he spoke, Uncle Ying took out a glass that he had prepared beforehand, lit it with a cotton cloth, and placed it upside down on the woman's head.

A moment later, a stream of murky water slowly flowed from the top of the woman's head.

Lin Xuan could sense the spiritual energy within it; it was clearly an ice talisman, but it had melted and turned into water.

"You actually made up such an exaggerated story!"

Officer Lin saw the water in the woman's brain, but still couldn't believe it. He grinned and shook his head, saying, "Didn't you say you could make her move? Show me how you make her move!"

"This is a second-tier ice talisman. The opponent's methods are not bad!" Lin Xuan ignored Officer Lin and said to himself.

Lin Xuan has completed his study of the complete Maoshan talisman manual and can be called a master in the field of talismans.

He could tell the level of the ice talisman at a glance; the other party was able to draw talismans with ice, indicating considerable skill in the art of talismans.

After speaking, Lin Xuan took out a corpse control talisman and stuck it on the top of the female corpse's head.

Then he looked at Officer Lin and said, "Didn't you want to see her move? I'll show you right away!"

"Control the corpse, activate!"

With a single hand seal formed, the female corpse, who had been lying in the freezer, instantly sat up.

"what!"

When the female corpse moved, Officer Lin and Officer Miao were instantly startled.

"See? I can not only get her to sit up, I can even get her to dance. But since death is a serious matter, dancing is out of the question!"

Lin Xuan removed the talisman.

"This corpse is indeed a walking corpse, and it has undergone some basic refining. The second-tier ice rune technique is used to control the corpse. The person behind this is no ordinary person!"

Lin Xuan knew that the other party belonged to the Nine Chrysanthemum faction, but he couldn't say it directly.

"Can a corpse really move?"

Officer Lin's face contorted with surprise. "Then how do we proceed with the investigation? I've never handled a case like this before!"

Officer Lin's worldview was almost completely altered by what he saw.

He could only secretly comfort himself, thinking that whatever method Lin Xuan had just used might be an application of science that had not yet been discovered.

"What to do next?"

Uncle Ying looked at Lin Xuan, wanting to hear his opinion.

"Judging from the current situation, the body has been dead for quite some time. If no one reports it to the police, people around her may know about it and have any information about her."

At this moment, Officer Miao quickly said, "Yes, yes, she has a relative in the countryside far away who probably doesn't know about this. So the closest person to her is her boyfriend!"

Officer Miao took out the woman's file; her boyfriend was named Eddie, a gym instructor.
