Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

"Um?!"

Li Fei's words almost instantly perked Cao Mingliang up.

He stared at Li Fei with his bloodshot eyes wide open, his jaw trembling uncontrollably.

Twenty years wasted?!

Or at least twenty years?!

What were those things I saw last night?!

Those guards, and those patients lying in the other beds in room 0421?!

Cao Mingliang looked back at the island in terror!

Seeing this, Li Fei secretly gestured to his men and said to Cao Mingliang, "How about we go take another look, Captain Cao?"

Cao Mingliang's eyelids suddenly twitched; he sensed a deeper meaning in Li Fei's words.

Instinctively, Cao Mingliang blurted out, "I didn't kill him! It was—"

He wanted to say Yang Ning, but then he suddenly wondered, did Yang Ning really kill someone?

It seems not?

Yang Ningren was outside the room at the time!

I'm the only one in the room!

Immediately, Cao Mingliang let out a long sigh. Beside him, Li Fei asked with a serious expression, "Who killed him?"

"What were you doing here so late last night?"

At this moment, Li Fei no longer had the feigned politeness he had shown towards Cao Mingliang; he was now treating Cao Mingliang as a suspect!

Cao Mingliang froze. He covered his pale, numb face, exhaled a puff of hot air, rubbed it, and said, "Give me something to eat."

A moment later, the steamed buns and soy milk were delivered to Cao Mingliang.

He grabbed a steamed bun with one hand and put it in his mouth, while taking out his phone with the other. *ring-dong, ring-dong, ring-dong*

His phone kept ringing.

All of them were voice messages sent by subordinates of the Special Administration Bureau. The messages were sent last night, which, if you think about it carefully, was the part where Cao Mingliang was tracking Yang Ning on his way to Qingshan Hospital.

Li Fei, who was standing nearby, said, "This place is at sea, there are no base stations, the signal is bad, and sometimes it can cause information backlog."

While eating steamed buns, Cao Mingliang opened a voice message.

"Captain Cao, Liu Xiao's mother's name is Zhao Mingxue. She was sent to Qingshan Hospital when she was in her thirties and never came out until her death."

"Qingshan Hospital is a prison for mentally ill criminals, equipped with psychiatric medical staff and facilities, hence the name Qingshan Hospital. However, Qingshan Hospital was completely shut down 22 years ago and has been abandoned ever since."

"We found out that Liu Xiao's hometown is not Binhai, but Zhongzhou. In Liu Xiao's great-grandfather's generation, they were a wealthy family. However, when he fell on hard times, he became a traitor and was killed along with his son by a guerrilla fighter surnamed Chen."

"Liu Xiao's mother, Zhao Mingxue, was their child bride, raised from a young age. After Liu Xiao's great-grandfather and grandfather died, their family could no longer stay in Zhongzhou, so they left for Binhai."

"We have also found Zhao Mingxue's information through the local authorities. She was staying in room 0421 of Qingshan Hospital at the time, and she never left Qingshan Hospital until she died suddenly from a heart problem. I have already sent you her photo."

"Captain Cao, is there anything else you need?"

Looking at that photo on my phone, clatter!

Cao Mingliang's phone fell to the ground.

His other hand, which was holding the steamed bun, trembled. Several times he tried to bring the bun to his mouth, but in the end, he brought it to his nose. Then he started to cry.

Tears mixed with snot streamed down my face.

The police officers on the side frowned upon seeing this. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes revealed a hint of disdain.

Cao Mingliang could sense it, but he said nothing, since these people had no idea what he had experienced the previous night.

Cao Mingliang was even somewhat looking forward to seeing how these police officers would perform later.

A few minutes later, Cao Mingliang's men arrived.

Seeing Cao Mingliang covered in dust, pale-faced, and with vacant eyes, looking extremely frightened, the people from the Special Administration Bureau were all shocked!

A Level 3 Special Agent in the Special Administration Bureau is practically a superhuman compared to an ordinary person!

How could someone like this become this inhuman and ghostly state in just one night?

A woman who looked to be in her thirties or forties covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Captain Cao, what...what happened to you last night?"

As she spoke, she stepped forward and patted Cao Mingliang on the shoulder. Finally seeing someone he knew, Cao Mingliang burst into tears!

After crying, Cao Mingliang felt a little better. He reached into his pocket and slowly took out the photo that Yang Ning had given him.

The text on the back of the photo has changed again.

"Now you know why nobody in your department dares to take my case?"

"Leaving halfway through is cowardly. Shall we meet at the next crime scene?"

"laugh."

The signature was still that blood-red, smiling ghost face.

In Cao Mingliang's vision, the smiling ghost face was gradually merging with Yang Ning's ever-smiling face.

A moment later, the group arrived at Qingshan Hospital, ignoring the weeds covering the yard, and went straight to ward 0421.

Along the way, Cao Mingliang looked left and right, and the more he looked, the uglier his face became.

Upon arriving at the ward, Li Fei glanced inside and immediately turned to instruct the young police officer to investigate the surrounding area, prohibiting anyone except the forensic doctor from approaching.

But he couldn't stop Cao Mingliang because the Special Administration Bureau had a higher level of authority than the police.

Upon entering the room, Cao Mingliang once again surveyed the room where he had spent half the night. He didn't look at the two corpses, but instead looked at the bed where he had lain the previous night.

The bed was covered in dust, with a blanket on top, but it was clear that someone had been lying there.

Cao Mingliang looked down at himself; he was also covered in dust.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and forced a smile.

......

Binhai City is a bit larger, more prosperous, and has a larger population than Cang'er City, so the forensic doctors here have seen more things than Sister Wang, the forensic doctor from the Cang'er police station.

Coincidentally, the forensic doctor who came from Binhai to carry out the mission this time was also a woman surnamed Wang.

Sister Wang frowned slightly when she saw the two headless corpses in the room, then carefully entered.

Li Fei arranged for people to investigate the deceased's information, while Cao Mingliang gave a cold smile.

Yes, check it out, you might be surprised.

Within minutes, a police officer came over and said, "Captain Li, we've found the information of one of the deceased through fingerprint and DNA comparison. It's Wu Qiang, whom we just released yesterday, the one whose head was smashed by Wang Song with a bottle."

Li Fei asked, "What about the other one?"

The officer frowned and said, "We're comparing facial features, but we can't find anything using fingerprints or DNA."

"Can't find it?"

"Yes, we can't find it. This can only mean that they are either unregistered residents or elderly people whose fingerprints and DNA are not in the database. After all, this data collection has only started in the last ten years or so."

Li Fei turned to look at Cao Mingliang, his intuition telling him that Cao Mingliang knew the specific identity of the deceased.

Looking at Li Fei's gaze, Cao Mingliang gave a self-deprecating smile, "Don't look down on me, Captain Li. You guys go and investigate yourselves. I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you."

Li Fei turned his head away and stopped talking.

Soon after, Sister Wang came out and told Li Fei, "Preliminary examination indicates the time of death was approximately six hours ago. The cause of death for both victims is the same: they were both... "

"His head was forcibly ripped off his neck."

"But one of the male victims was about forty years old, and his arm movements were strange, making it look more like he had torn his head off his neck."

"The female victim was probably around fifty years old, and her head was ripped off her neck."

"Of course, this is just a preliminary test; I will conduct a more detailed examination later."

Li Fei nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Wang!"

"It's nothing!"

About twenty minutes later, a police officer rushed up, looking flustered, and handed Li Fei his phone, saying, "Captain Li! We've found the information on the other victim! Zhao Mingxue!"

Li Fei glanced at Cao Mingliang, took the phone from the police officer, and looked at it.

The first second, Li Fei was looking at his phone screen.

In the fifth second, Li Fei paused for a moment.

At the eighth second, he stared intently at his phone screen for several seconds.

At the fifteenth second, a look of shock appeared in his eyes. He raised his phone to the police officer in front of him, his face full of suspicion.

The officer's facial muscles twitched slightly as he nodded helplessly, "That's right, Captain Li, I've confirmed it, it's this person, no doubt about it!"

Li Fei took his phone, turned around, and went into the room to personally compare the image of the elderly woman's corpse lying on the bed with the photo on his phone.

For a moment, his eyes were filled with boundless horror, and he was speechless for a long time!

Behind him, Cao Mingliang laughed, "What? Captain Li, can't believe it?"

Li Fei's body trembled slightly, and he felt a chill run through his entire body.

He'd been in the business for over twenty years and seen countless tragedies. Frankly, this kind of decapitation was nothing new to him, but...

He stared at the decapitated corpse of the old woman on the bed and exclaimed, "She...she...did she fake her death back then? No, no! The age doesn't match!"

Cao Mingliang seemed to be in much better spirits. He grinned and said, "You faked your death? Captain Li, do you want to hear what you're saying?"

"Even if Zhao Mingxue didn't die back then, how old would she be now?"

"She must have been in her eighties, almost ninety! Look again, how old is that body lying there now?"

Li Fei was speechless; he only felt his scalp tingling.

At this moment, Cao Mingliang stepped forward, looked into Li Fei's eyes, and slowly said, "Captain Li, is there any possibility...?"

"There was an incredibly powerful person who resurrected Zhao Mingxue, who had been dead for thirty years, and then killed her again?"

As Cao Mingliang spoke, a sentence Yang Ning had said to him yesterday on Jianhai Road came to mind.

Cao Mingliang had only heard the first part of that sentence, so he assumed Yang Ning was going to the prison to kill someone.

Now it seems that the most important part of that sentence is the second half—

"Sorry, but if I want to kill someone, even if they're already dead, I can kill them again, let alone in prison!"

Hearing these words, which sounded like the whispers of a vengeful ghost, Cao Mingliang felt... in the midst of the July summer heat.

I felt a chill run down my spine.
