Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

Los Angeles, a moment ago.

Local police officers have just arrived in Longmen.

A group of people got out of the car. Qin Hao, the criminal investigation captain of Luocheng, made a gesture, and the police officers nodded. Under the cover of night and wind and rain, they surrounded the Buddha statue inside Longmen.

As Qin Hao walked, he put on his headset and took out his phone to make a call.

"Hey? Captain Chen, I'm in position and ready to make the arrest. Don't worry!"

Chen Tao's tone on the other end of the phone sounded a little strange: "Mouse, um, cough..."

Qin Hao frowned and said, "Captain Chen, what do you mean? Why are you stammering? You've become so indecisive after not seeing you for months!"

Chen Tao didn't know what to say.

He looked at the surveillance screenshot in his hand, which showed Feng Liang leaving Yang Ning's store that afternoon.

Judging from what he was carrying, he had already obtained the spirit child from Yang Ning.

Let's connect this to Feng Liang's identity... an assassin.

An assassin went to Yang Ning's shop and bought a doll...

Who is Yang Ning?

He's a ruthless person.

They are especially ruthless towards certain special groups of people.

Clearly, in Yang Ning's eyes, assassins are a high-risk group!

The "high-risk" here refers to the fact that the assassins face a high level of danger, not that they can create a high level of danger!

Chen Tao quickly organized his thoughts and said, "Mouse, this Feng Liang might be in danger."

Qin Hao immediately nodded and said, "Yes! I know! It's a knife, right? Don't worry, everyone here is armed, he can't escape!"

Chen Tao cautiously reminded him, "Rat, what I mean is, don't let him die."

"Let's try our best; if he really resists, who knows what might happen—"

Just then, Chen Tao heard a commotion coming from Qin Hao's direction: "Don't move!"

"You're under arrest!"

It seems the arrests have begun.

Chen Tao waited silently.

At the scene in Longmen, Qin Hao stared in utter shock at Feng Liang, who was clearly dead, and asked into his earpiece, "Captain Chen, what... what did you just say?"

"I said, don't let him die."

"..."

"What happened? Is the person dead?"

"..."

"As expected, Mouse, don't blame yourself too much, it's not your fault."

Qin Hao felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Qin Hao felt that Chen Tao was also a bit strange.

"Captain Chen, do you...do you know something?"

"Let's examine the body first. Congratulations, you've caught a murderer."

"..."

After hanging up the phone with Qin Hao, Chen Tao turned to look at several photos next to him, which were surveillance footage from the Zhongzhou Crematorium and the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in the first half of the night.

Yang Ning was captured in both of these surveillance videos.

Looking at the police dispatch log, there were two reasons for dispatching the police: "People claim that the dead have come back to life." Chen Tao felt his head buzzing.

......

Los Angeles, Dragon Gate, about half an hour later.

"Captain Qin, no signs of a crime were found at the scene, and there were no wounds on the victim's body. The preliminary cause of death is determined to be natural."

"That old monk knew nothing when asked; he seemed to have some kind of dementia."

"A large number of paper ingots were also found at the scene, but they were all wet."

"Furthermore, a large amount of banknotes have appeared in the Yi River. Strangely, those banknotes rot immediately as soon as they are removed from the river water."

"Surveillance footage revealed that the victim had a companion who is currently being searched."

As Qin Hao listened, he felt the eerie atmosphere surrounding the whole affair grow even stronger.

Across the Yi River.

Li Bai watched the police officers busy on the other side of the river. Just now, he had witnessed the entire incident.

Bending down, Li Bai scooped up a wet banknote from the river in front of him, held it to his nose, and smelled a foul stench.

Then he saw the banknote rot away bit by bit.

Li Bai took out his phone and made a call.

"Feed?"

Cao Mingliang's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Just from the tone of that one word, I can tell what you want to say to me."

"What?"

"Yang Ning has killed someone again, and you even want to tell me that my guess about Yang Ning's weakness that I told you last time was correct."

"That's right. Last night, there were cases of dead people coming back to life at the Zhongzhou Crematorium and the morgue of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University."

As he spoke, Li Bai added a compliment: "The Special Administration Bureau's internal intelligence network is quite useful; it can find a wide range of information. I've never had access to anything like it back in the Taoist temple..."

Cao Mingliang: "Then could you please stop checking your female colleagues' hotel booking records in the future?"

Li Bai's expression changed slightly. "Why would anyone know what I'm investigating?"

"Of course the team leader knows. You're temporarily assigned to our team, and he doesn't know you well. He asked me to remind you that although we're not the police and don't have such strict discipline, your colleagues in the team won't be happy with what you're doing!"

Li Bai pursed his lips and changed the subject, asking, "How's it going on your end? Any progress?"

"I'm going to investigate the old madman who bought Yang Ning back then. I asked Captain Lei from Cang'er for help before, and now that I have some free time, I'll go there myself."

"Okay, keep it up."

"You're the one who should cheer up. At least I'm not in much danger. I'm hanging up now."

Putting down his phone, Li Bai continued gazing across the riverbank. His eyes fell on the giant Buddha statue, and he muttered to himself, "When will my Taoist sect be able to enjoy such glory?"

Just then, a resentful woman's voice rang out from behind Li Bai: "Captain Li, here's what you wanted!"

Li Bai blushed as he looked at the woman who walked up to him with an icy expression.

He hadn't understood why the female special operations team member under Cao Mingliang was suddenly being cold and sarcastic towards him, when they had been perfectly fine when they first met.

Now he understands.

I checked someone's hotel booking records out of curiosity, and they found out!

Slightly embarrassed, Li Bai accepted the stack of photos the woman handed him, but quickly forgot about it.

He looked at the people in the photos one by one, muttering to himself, "Are you avenging those children who were abducted and lost their lives along with you?"

"So, who will be your next target?"

As he spoke, Li Bai stopped flipping through the photos. He looked at the person in the photo, his expression gradually becoming serious.

......

The next morning, at Yang Ning's shop on Yundu Road in Zhongzhou.

Having just gone through a fully automated washing and grooming process, and then having the kids order takeout for him, Yang Ning stretched and sat down behind his desk.

He placed the six soul lamp candles on the table and carefully tended to them, which made him feel much more refreshed.

Looking at Qi Hui's candle, Yang Ning laughed and said, "You think I wouldn't know where the Life and Death Talisman came from just because you didn't tell me?"

"Hmph, we're men with turtles!"

"You bastard!"

Clang!

The turtle shell jumped onto the table on its own.

This time, Yang Ning didn't even want to scatter the copper coins himself. He tapped the table, clang clang!

With her head propped up on her neck, Chen Yamei stretched out her two pale, cold little hands and scattered a few copper coins one by one onto the table.

Huh? She actually managed to put her head on her neck?!

And without even using your hands?!

Yang Ning looked at Chen Yamei in surprise, only to see that the little ghost had two extra hands on her shoulders, specifically for supporting her head.

Without a doubt, it must be the little turtle's.

The little turtle, finding its own hands and feet in the way, lent them to Yamei, who always needed to hold her head with her hands.

Yang Ning: "..."

With two extra hands on her body, Chen Yamei looked at Yang Ning's utterly speechless expression, pointed her little finger at the table, and said in a childish voice, "Chengcheng, look! It won't work in a minute!"

"Look, look!"
