Fortunately, everyone was safe and sound.

He turned his head and saw Yu Xin, a beautiful and mature woman who was excitedly muttering to herself.

"Sister Yu Xin, weren't you scared just now?"

Why be afraid?

The wavy-haired mature woman tilted her head and looked at him, her tone puzzled.

"Because what just happened felt like a scene from an urban legend—the deceased's house, the TV turning on inexplicably after the power went out. I remember Sister Yu Xin was terrified of these kinds of things..."

Lin Shuxuan paused halfway through his sentence and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Yu Xin is a captain in the Public Security Bureau. To reach this position, she must be a highly skilled martial artist. She might be afraid of such things while working, but how could she be afraid of them while doing something productive?

Then he saw Yu Xin like a cat with its fur standing on end, arms crossed over her chest, goosebumps rising on her fair neck, her delicate body trembling slightly.

"you.."

"Shut up! Don't talk to me about that!"

Seeing the beautiful, mature woman's fierce yet cowardly appearance, Lin Shuxuan laughed. So she was a high-ping player.

After the funeral, his aunt took him and Chen Yi home.

Even after returning to his bedroom, Lin Shuxuan was still pondering what he had just witnessed. Television... television... he felt like he had heard about it somewhere before.

But after thinking for a long time, I still had no clue, so I simply opened my phone and started watching videos.

I only remembered it when I saw the red dot on the forum app.

In her own ghost stories, the female ghost would crawl out of the television.

Lin Shuxuan was somewhat disappointed, thinking that he had missed some clues before, but after thinking for a long time, he realized that it was a story he had made up.

Open the post.

After being summoned by the police, he deleted the comments from his alternate account that were stirring up trouble.

However, due to recent cases, these suspenseful posts that grab attention still get a lot of traffic.

[Yu Meiren: The original poster's post is short and weak.]

Lin Shuxuan was a little embarrassed. This ID should be Yu Xin's account, but he didn't expect her to be so outspoken.

It seems like they're dissatisfied with his lack of updates.

You're terrified yourself, yet you're still so enthusiastic about horror stories? Haji Yu, you rascal.

Scrolling down, I saw another glaring comment.

[Amidst the turmoil: These past few days, I've been answering that midnight phone call right before the seventh ring.]

[Amidst the turmoil: But lately the phone has been ringing more and more urgently, and I'm scared; I'm always worried I won't answer it correctly.]

[Amidst the Storm: Does anyone know the author? Please tell me what happens next, I really can't take it anymore, money is absolutely not an issue!]

He recognized the ID; it was partly responsible for his arrest by the police.

There are also many comments below.

[Cheese Peach: Really?]

[Eat some fruit: This must be the poster's alternate account.]

[Rabbit Jumping Candy: The original poster is utterly heartless; writing horror stories isn't enough, they also have to act as a shill in the comments section!]

Lin Shuxuan was anxious. If the Public Security Bureau misunderstood him again, he would really be detained for half a month.

He quickly opened the private message from "Stormy Times" and hoped that the other party would delete the comment to avoid being arrested by the police.

But after waiting and waiting, there was no reply.

Helpless, Lin Shuxuan left the light on, his mind filled with thoughts of the murder case, television, ghost stories, and the police station, until he finally managed to fall asleep late at night.

......

Sunlight streamed through the thin curtains onto my face, a reminder more punctual than any alarm clock.

Lin Shuxuan yawned.

I scared myself last night and couldn't fall asleep until midnight.

The case was completely unsolved.

Although he knew that the television might be one of the keys to solving the case, he had no information from the previous cases and could not make any deductions.

However, Yu Xin seemed to have been inspired.

If all goes well, the frozen funds should be deposited into my account in a few days... It's my own money, why is it so troublesome to get it back...

Lin Shuxuan wanted to give Fang Cheng a good scolding again.

But considering that the money was indeed ill-gotten, they gave up on it.

He dressed neatly, grabbed a few slices of bread from the dining table, and quickly went downstairs.

When I got to the entrance of the residential area, I saw a familiar face again.

Yu Xin was dressed casually, with long brown waves hanging down her white shirt, the hem tucked into her jeans, and black Martin boots on her feet.

She looks youthful and stylish, yet exudes a mature and sexy charm.

She was talking to the property management staff at the entrance of the residential compound.

Lin Shuxuan walked over and brazenly eavesdropped, but unfortunately their conversation was nearing its end and the staff member had already left.

"Sister Yu Xin, has the case been solved?"

Yu Xin turned her head, rolled her eyes with her big eyes sporting dark circles, and said irritably:

"Why are you still urging me?"

But she still revealed what she knew:

"I asked, and the power to that area has been off since Sunday."

"It is now certain that the perpetrator may have used television as a medium to commit the crime."

"I'm collecting information on the televisions from the previous murders, checking them one by one based on their model and purchase date."

"It will take time."

Exhaustive search method.

Lin Shuxuan was getting anxious. At this rate of solving cases, when would they be able to catch the murderer?

His frozen royalties are now indefinitely delayed.

Seeing his expression, Yu Xin felt a little strange:

"What's the rush, kid? I get pressured every day and I'm perfectly fine."

Lin Shuxuan then briefly explained his situation of needing money to switch to martial arts.

The beautiful, mature woman suddenly realized.

"No wonder you used that method to promote it, but you're almost eighteen, and your physical constitution is flawed. Switching to martial arts now isn't the right thing to do..."

Realizing she was talking about Lin Shuxuan's private affairs, she stopped talking.

"If that's the case, it's not like there's no way to resolve it..."

Just as Lin Shuxuan was about to listen attentively, Bai Shasha, plump as she was, squeezed between the two people having their conversation.

"I've been waiting for you for ages, you're going to be late for school♪"

She turned to face Yu Xin:

"This auntie... oh, is that Sister Yu Xin?"

"You two know each other?"

Lin Shuxuan asked, "Bai Shasha picks him up from school every day, and the time we spent discussing the case did make her wait a little longer."

"I met you once at a cocktail party before♪"

Yu Xin said calmly:

"Since we're going to be late, let's hurry up and go."

Lin Shuxuan nodded and left with Bai Shasha, leaving Yu Xin watching their departing figures with flickering eyes.

......

Inside the train carriage.

Despite the heavy traffic of the morning rush hour, the ride was smooth and there was no noticeable shaking.

Does Yu Xin have a way to get my money back? ... Lin Shuxuan was still pondering what Yu Xin had just said.

Unaware that Bai Shasha's face was puffed up with anger.

Why are you ignoring me?♪

"What's wrong?"

Bai Shasha's acquaintance with Yu Xin surprised him quite a bit. Perhaps there was only a small group of people in the upper class of Xinhai City. Judging from the way the Public Security Bureau addressed Yu Xin, she seemed to be a captain.

Presumably, his status is also quite high.

"Was that bottle of wine a gift from that woman?"

How did you know?

"Everyone smells the same perfume, huh, you vixen!"

Lin Shuxuan smiled wryly; he didn't intend to dwell on the topic, but Bai Shasha, with a mischievous smile, continued:

"Miss Yu Xin looked stunning at the party. I saw her following behind a man; I think he was the head of the Public Security Bureau?"

He wouldn't go so far as to assume that a beautiful woman in a high position or with great power has obtained her status by selling her body.

Yu Xin had helped him a lot, and he really didn't want to gossip about her behind her back.

"Maybe that person was her cousin."

"Don't be angry, I was just saying it casually♪"

To his surprise, Bai Shasha quickly gave in like a kitten.

"I'm just worried that my brother will be deceived by a bad woman."
