Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

Mengdongfang Villa, Cang'er City, crime scene.

After hearing the police officer's report, Lei Ming asked doubtfully, "He transferred two million to a seventeen-year-old boy? And even noted it was for buying a doll?"

"Have you checked the boy's account? Was it hacked?"

The policewoman said, "We've checked, and there's no evidence of theft. Just today, this Yang Ning bought a plane ticket from the provincial capital to Zhongzhou City in Central China. The ticket and bank account match his real name, and the airport's facial recognition also verified it. He did indeed board the plane today."

"Therefore, Yang Ning should not be directly related to this case, because according to the timeline, he was on the plane when the victim was killed."

Lei Ming shook his head and said, "Don't be so hasty. First, investigate Yang Ning carefully, and also the situation of the victim's family."

"yes!"

Lei Ming turned to another officer and asked, "Was anything suspicious found at the scene?"

The officer shook his head and said, "We have carefully examined all the rooms except the bedroom where the incident occurred. There were no suspicious fingerprints or footprints. We collected some hair from the bathroom drain and sent it back to the station for testing."

Upon hearing the phrase "apart from the bedroom where the incident occurred," both Lei Ming and Zhang Donglei fell silent.

Taking a deep breath, Lei Ming took out a mask, put it on, and said to Zhang Donglei, "Let's go, the two of us together. Don't count on these young people for this kind of work."

Zhang Donglei's already pale face became even paler.

Second-floor bedroom.

Wearing a mask and gloves, Lei Ming carefully avoided the bloodstains on the ground, trying not to look at the raw, slicing man sitting by the bed, and put the blood-stained chainsaw from the floor into the evidence bag.

Zhang Donglei took his camera and photographed every corner of the bedroom.

The two worked together, one recording the scene and the other collecting evidence. When they finally came out, they both looked visibly distressed.

Just as Zhang Donglei was about to pat Lei Ming on the back to comfort him, Lei Ming suddenly grabbed him first!

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Donglei looked at Lei Ming: "Captain Lei, what did you find?"

Lei Ming didn't speak; his eyes were fixed on the floor beneath his feet.

Zhang Donglei looked over as well and saw a string of small red bloodstains on the floor.

They look somewhat like the footprints of a small animal!

The next second, the two of them turned to look into the bedroom and found that the footprints extended from the pool of blood under the victim!

Lei Ming asked with a grave expression, "Did the victim keep pets at home?"

A thought suddenly flashed through Zhang Donglei's mind. He looked back at the messy bedroom and then at the evidence bag in Lei Ming's hand. He felt like he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Old Zhang, what are you staring at?! I'm asking you a question!"

Zhang Donglei hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, there was no trace of pets in the victim's home."

"Then what is this?" Lei Ming pointed to the bloodstains on the floor and said, "This wasn't on the floor when I came here."

After he finished speaking, he walked forward along the bloodstains on the floor, with Zhang Donglei following behind.

The first floor of the villa.

Although the first floor was not the direct crime scene, many police officers were still recording the scene.

A policewoman was repeatedly scanning the first-floor floor with ultraviolet light, looking for any missing clues, when suddenly she noticed a palm-sized humanoid ghost doll that had appeared at her feet.

The baby crawled forward slowly on all fours, leaving several bloodstains on the ground with each step it took.

"Huh? Electric?"

The curious policewoman picked up the doll, and just as her eyes met the tiny, rice-grain-sized eyes of the ghost-faced doll, a cold, icy wind suddenly swept over her!

When the policewoman saw the ghost-faced doll in her hand, her originally expressionless face gradually began to smile!

She was startled and instinctively wanted to throw it away, but found that her hand seemed to be frozen in place and wouldn't move as if it didn't obey her command!

As the ghost doll's smile widened, a sudden, intensely cold negative emotion welled up from the policewoman's heart!

The bewildered policewoman felt extremely wronged, and then her grievances gradually turned into sorrow, and her sorrow into despair!

A profound sense of despair caused the policewoman's eyes, filled with endless sorrow, to fall upon the pistol at her colleague's waist not far away...

However, the next second, the smiling expression on the ghost doll in the policewoman's hand suddenly disappeared. It turned its head away from the policewoman and jumped off her hand with its short limbs.

The moment the ghost doll's limbs touched the ground again, the policewoman's negative emotions vanished completely.

Emerging from utter despair, the policewoman stared in shock at the ghostly doll slowly crawling forward on the floor—one second, two seconds, three seconds…

"Whoa!"

She sat on the ground and wailed.

Watching the policewoman's retreating figure as she burst into tears, Lei Ming and Zhang Donglei, who had just come down from the second floor, were speechless.

It's not uncommon to see police officers being so frightened at the scene that they cry.

The two quickly noticed the ghost-faced doll crawling on the ground, and both breathed a sigh of relief. "It's just an electric toy..."

However, Lei Ming's brows immediately furrowed again, because he saw that the ghost-faced doll crawling on the ground had crawled to a corner on the first floor of the villa and stopped moving. Upon seeing this corner of the villa, Lei Ming realized a problem.

Lei Ming discovered that this detached villa did not have a basement!

This is unreasonable!

Lei Ming waved to a police officer and ordered, "Go to the property management office and bring me the floor plan!"

"yes!"

The floor plan was brought over, and Lei Ming and Zhang Donglei looked at it carefully.

According to the floor plan, the place where the ghost-faced doll is now should be a staircase leading to the basement, but it seems to have been sealed off with cement.

Immediately, when Lei Ming and Zhang Donglei looked at the ghost-faced doll on the ground, goosebumps rose all over their bodies!

Is this doll trying to tell me something?

Lei Ming pointed to the area where the ghost-faced doll was located and said to the police officers behind him, "Smash that place!"

......

Zhongzhou, Yundu Road Pedestrian Street.

jingle--

The crisp, melodious sound of wind chimes rang out, and a taxi stopped at the intersection.

The weather in Zhongzhou in July was already very hot, but the driver felt a cold wind blowing down his back, sending chills down his spine.

He glanced in the rearview mirror at the young boy in the back seat, dressed in white and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and didn't dare to breathe.

The trip from Zhongzhou Airport to Yundu Road usually takes only an hour, and even with some unexpected situations, it should take at most an hour and a half. But today, I encountered two traffic jams, one car accident, and I also bumped into a food delivery guy, got into a long argument with him, and almost came to blows. After that, my tire went flat, and I had to queue up to refill it...

In total, it took two hours and twenty minutes to reach Yundu Road.

The time was exactly the same as the time the boy had given as soon as he got in the car, not a minute more or less.

In that instant, the driver's gaze toward Yang Ning was filled with awe.

Looking at the street scene outside the window, Yang Ning, sitting in the back seat, asked with a smile, "Master, have we arrived?"

The driver nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes! We've arrived!"

Yang Ning took out two hundred yuan and handed it to the driver, casually saying, "Thank you, driver, keep the change."

Then he got off the bus and left.

The driver, after receiving the two red bills, glanced at the fare of 366 on the meter, fought back the tears welling in his eyes, forced a smile, and said to Yang Ning's retreating figure—

"Thank you!"
