Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

"We have guests. Boil a kettle of water and pour two cups of tea." Yang Ning sat cross-legged, as if talking to thin air.

Soon, in the deserted tea room of the small shop, an unopened bottle of water opened by itself with a "click," and the water flowed into the kettle next to it. The kettle, which was not plugged in, immediately started to operate at high power, and soon the sound of boiling water "gurgling" could be heard, and hot steam filled the air.

A seemingly normal, intact male ghost appeared. It opened the cabinet in the tea room, looked around, and turned to Yang Ning, saying, "Chengcheng, there are no tea leaves."

Yang Ning took out a small red figurine model of Zhang Wen's from the white cloth bag slung over her shoulder, flicked her head and said, "Look, this is all the trouble you've caused."

"The police are here to investigate your death. Go get some tea so I can deal with them."

The ferocious little red figure "Zhang Wen" revealed a sinister expression to Yang Ning, her limbs still struggling as if trying to escape from his grasp.

Yang Ning rolled her eyes and said, "Lei Zi, shock her!"

Crack!

A blue arc of electricity suddenly appeared beside Yang Ning, striking the little red figure "Zhang Wen" in his hand!

Now the little red figure turned into a little black figure. Yang Ning flicked his hand, and the charred wood chips fell off "Zhang Wen" with a clatter!

Yang Ning said with a pained expression, "What a wonderful body sculpting project! And it's turned so dark now?"

"Sister Wenwen, I forgot to tell you, besides peach blossoms, I also have lightning."

"You've committed so many sins, stealing tea leaves won't make a difference. I'm different; I've never done anything evil. Stealing tea leaves would create bad karma for me. So, Sister Wenwen, listen to me!"

"Otherwise, I felt quite sorry for you seeing you get struck by lightning. That fairy child hates you ghost children the most, and he doesn't hold back when he hits you. I couldn't stand it either..."

Little Red Person Zhang Wen: "..."

The next second, in a high-end tea shop on Yundu Road, *snap*!

A ceramic tea canister, which was sitting securely on the shelf, suddenly fell and shattered on the ground, spilling its fine Yunnan black tea all over the floor.

The boss, who was sitting at the tea table, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately ran over to clean up with a pained expression.

After finishing the preparations, the boss began weighing the reorganized tea leaves. Upon seeing that the Golden Needle Black Tea, originally priced at 5988 yuan per jin (500g), only weighed seven liang (350g), he immediately cursed, "That damned supplier!"

"A pound of tea should weigh eight and a half ounces! But it only weighs seven ounces?"

"Pah!"

"You took advantage of me, and now your son is born without an anus!"

......

Yang Ning's Little Shop.

As soon as Chen Tao led the two police officers into the room, they heard a clear and pleasant ringing sound from above.

The three of them felt a sudden clarity in their minds.

Chen Yue, the policewoman who met Yang Ning last night, said, "Yang Ning, this is our Captain Chen. She's here to ask you about some things."

"Okay, welcome."

Yang Ning gestured to the two cushions opposite his table and said, "Please sit down."

Upon seeing this, the youngest of the three officers stepped aside, while Chen Tao and Chen Yue took off their shoes by the carpet and sat down cross-legged.

Looking at the four rows of empty shelves on each side of the shop, Chen Tao asked, "What kind of business are you planning to start?"

Yang Ning gestured to the two cups of tea on the table and said, "I am a successor of the Lingmen sect, and I provide services for inviting and sending off Lingwa. You can think of Lingwa as the Buddha or Bodhisattva in Buddhism, or the Jade Emperor or God of Wealth in Taoism."

Chen Tao was not surprised at all by Yang Ning's answer. He took out a photo and said, "I heard that you sold a doll a few months ago? And it wasn't cheap, it cost two million."

The photo was obtained from the Cang'er police; it was the same blue-faced doll that appeared at the scene of Zhang Hui's death.

Yang Ning said without any denial, "That's right, this is my doll. According to the rules of my Lingmen sect, now that the doll's owner has passed away, I should go and take the doll back."

"Mr. Yang, is your child not working?"

Chen Tao frowned and said, "Someone asked for your doll, but instead of getting anything, the person died. Look at the mess you've made..."

"Did Zhang Wen also hire your doll?"

Didn't you get any benefits?

Chen Tao knew, of course, that Zhang Hui had received some benefits; otherwise, how could he have made money in any line of work in the two months before his death?

He said that on purpose to trick Yang Ning!

Yang Ning didn't refute, but simply smiled and asked, "Captain Chen, if I invite a God of Wealth into my home, will I definitely become rich?"

Chen Tao nodded silently. "You still haven't answered my question. Did Zhang Wen hire a doll from you?"

"no."

"Regarding the fact that you rented Zhang Wen's shop this afternoon, and she committed suicide that evening, do you have anything to say?"

"have."

Yang Ning took out a contract from his white cloth bag and handed it to Chen Tao. "This is a lease agreement with additional clauses that state that even if the landlord is gone, I can still lease this shop indefinitely."

Chen Tao and Chen Yue were both startled. Chen Tao stared into Yang Ning's eyes and asked, word by word, "Why did you add this clause to the lease agreement?"

Yang Ning spread his hands and said, "I didn't add it, Zhang Wen added it herself. I didn't understand it at the time, but I understand it now."

"She probably already had the idea of ​​ending her own life at that time, and she didn't want me to lose all my property after I had just paid the rent. That would be unfair to me."

Chen Yue, standing to the side, couldn't help but say, "Mr. Yang, does it make sense for someone who's about to end their own life to still be thinking about renting out shops?"

Yang Ningzan said, "Hmm, that doesn't make sense, but who can wake Zhang Wen up and ask her?"

Chen Tao and the other man fell silent for a moment.

"Yang Ning, Zhang Hui hired your doll but then disappeared, and Zhang Wen rented you a shop but then disappeared too. You have to give me an explanation today, or I'm afraid I'll have to take you back for questioning."

Chen Tao has unleashed his ultimate move!

People who have never been in contact with the police usually answer whatever comes to mind when asked this question by an officer.

but!

"Captain Chen, if the manufacturers of chainsaws and boning knives are also being investigated along with me, then it seems I have no reason to refuse?"

As if suddenly remembering something, Yang Ning asked slowly, "By the way, it seems some of your colleagues were looking for the boning tool Zhang Wen used to end her life early this morning. Did you find it?"

Chen Tao remained silent, and Yang Ning looked at Chen Yue, who also remained silent.

"Couldn't find it?"

"Has most of the day passed already?"

"Oh, that's true. After all, a bloodstained knife isn't easy to find!"

Yang Ning's words seemed innocuous, but they sounded rather harsh to the three police officers. This was his retaliation against Chen Tao's earlier threat to "invite" him back for investigation.

Chen Yue and the young police officer's faces immediately turned very ugly, while Chen Tao didn't react much.

He picked up the teacup in front of him, smelled the aroma, and asked, "What kind of tea is this? It smells like black tea, but it seems to be more fragrant than regular black tea?"

Yang Ning originally wanted to say "spiritual tea," but the words that came out were—

"Ghost Tea".

Upon hearing this, Chen Tao put the teacup he had already put to his lips back down.

He said to Chen Yue beside him, "Alright, if there's nothing else, shall we head back now?"

Chen Yue nodded and said, "Okay."

The two stood up, and Yang Ning followed suit. Just as Chen Tao was about to say goodbye, he spoke first: "Captain Chen, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"you say."

Yang Ning smiled as if he were talking about something trivial, "I have a friend who was assaulted when she was a child. She was only twelve years old at the time, and according to the current law, the person who assaulted her is sentenced to death."

"But because so much time has passed, more than ten years, there's no evidence; only she herself can prove that what happened back then..."

Before Yang Ning could continue, Chen Tao shook his head and said, "Impossible, don't even think about it. The principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' applies. The police rely on evidence in handling cases, and this matter cannot be filed as a case."

Yang Ning murmured, "The principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' applies, and it's all about evidence..."

"Okay, Captain Chen, I understand, thank you!"

"You're welcome."

Chen Tao put on his shoes and walked to the door. Yang Ning saw him to the door, and Chen Tao turned to look at him and said, "Yang Ning..."

"Um?"

"Some of what I said just now may have been impolite, but it was my duty, and I hope you can understand."

"Completely understandable."

"And also..."

Chen Tao hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Yang Ning, I get the feeling that the deaths of Zhang Hui and his daughter are inextricably linked to you."

Yang Ning's gaze passed over Chen Tao, looking at the sky behind him. His smile remained, his eyes as peaceful and warm as ever.

"Captain Chen, police investigations rely on evidence, and also..."

"Presumption of innocence."

Chen Tao was stunned for a moment. A sudden realization flashed in his eyes, and he pointed to the ground, speaking righteously and firmly: "Yang Ning! Vigilante justice is strictly prohibited on this land! Do you understand?!"

Yang Ning smiled and nodded, raising two fingers as he said, "I understand, I understand, Captain Chen, I swear to you, I will never abuse my power. If I break this promise, then let me..."

"May I be haunted by vengeful ghosts for the rest of my life!"

"Bullshit!"

Chen Tao swore and turned to leave without saying another word. As soon as he stepped out of the store, he took out his phone and called the Cang'er police!

Coincidentally, it was Lei Ming himself who answered the phone!

"Hello! I'm Chen Tao from the Central District Police Department. Could you check your records to see if any of the children abducted by Zhang Hui were sexually assaulted when they were twelve years old?"

Lei Ming nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes, there is one. Why?"

"call--"

Chen Tao let out a long sigh and said in an extremely serious tone, "This is not over!"

He glanced back at Yang Ning, who was standing at the shop entrance smiling and waving at him, and added, "He can kill people too!"
