Naturally, no one said much about this kind of thing. After all, they had all come out together. You could not just abandon someone when it was time to go back.
After splitting into groups, everyone began searching inside Wuthering Heights. The owner also arranged some staff to help search.
Zi Yuan followed beside Luo Chen. On the hillside in the suburbs, the mountains were covered with low shrubs. If something really happened, it would be hard for anyone to notice.
Luo Chen was just about to open his heavenly eye to take a look when Zi Yuan leaned over and spoke.
“Luo Chen, do you know who Luo Wuji is?”
This question made Luo Chen smile. Would he not know who Luo Wuji was?
“And you are still laughing?” Zi Yuan was a bit anxious.
“To be honest, Luo Chen, you really are impressive. Not just in terms of money, even a grandmaster kneels before you in person.” Zi Yuan spoke with a serious expression.
“If I had not seen Luo Wuji with my own eyes, I might really have thought you were Luo Wuji.”
“But Luo Chen, the other party is Luo Wuji, the pinnacle of all China. If you challenge him, look at what happened to those who challenged him?” Zi Yuan advised again.
“Which one of them had a good end?”
“In this age, he is already invincible!”
“Thank you for praising me like that.” Luo Chen smiled.
“I am not joking with you. Once he really comes, you simply…”
“Ahh!”
A scream pierced the pitch-black night sky. Luo Chen turned his head sharply, then grabbed Zi Yuan and rushed in that direction.
By the time Luo Chen pulled Zi Yuan over, many people were already gathered there.
But several girls were clearly terrified.
Because among the low shrubs, a corpse was lying horizontally.
This corpse was completely black all over. That face was full of terror, as if it had seen something extremely horrifying before death.
The manner of death was extremely frightening and terrifying!
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow. This Nanling really was interesting. Last time during the Ghost Festival, he had already noticed something was off about Nanling. He had not expected to see something interesting here again now.
The corpse before him was none other than the missing girl from the marketing department, Dingdang!
“Call the police!” someone shouted.
“I have already called.”
“Actually, calling the police is useless.” Tang Long frowned and spoke.
“This is already the tenth murder case this month.” Tang Long spoke again.
“What do you mean?” Everyone turned their eyes to Tang Long.
“Actually, this month, Nanling has already had ten murder cases like this. And last month there were even more, a full thirteen such cases.” Tang Long explained.
“Why has no one heard about it, and only you know?” someone asked.
After all, this was a murder case. If there were ten cases, word should have gotten out somehow.
After all, this was a major matter!
“It was suppressed, because the murderer has never been found.” Tang Long spoke again.
“Or rather, the one who committed the crime might not be human!” Tang Long suddenly said this, instantly making everyone jump in shock.
“Tang Long, do not scare everyone in the middle of the night!” A girl said with a sobbing voice, clearly already frightened.
“I am not trying to scare everyone. My father should be coming over soon too. Once I say this, you will understand, right?”
Tang Long’s father?
Tang Xuan!
He was a famous yin-yang master in Nanling. It was even said that some high officials and nobles from outside the province had personally come to Nanling to ask Tang Xuan to help with matters.
Although in this era, young people advocated science, there were still many things science could not explain.
And Tang Xuan’s reputation was widespread. It was even said he had great connections with the Celestial Master Dao. He had real skills in his hands.
If not for the fact that their yin-yang masters’ association had the five disabilities and three deficiencies, Tang Long would probably have followed Tang Xuan to become a yin-yang master too.
Sure enough, police officers arrived quickly. A dozen or so police officers and a middle-aged man in Tang clothing.
The middle-aged man had a small goatee, held a bronze mirror in his hand, and had an imposing air. He slowly approached surrounded by over a dozen people.
“Master Tang, I have to trouble you again.” The one who spoke was a squadron leader.
These murder cases that had appeared recently made him unable to sleep well at night.
Because this murder case was like an unsolved mystery. There was simply no murderer to be found at all. And every time a murder occurred, as long as your eyes were not blind, you could tell it was not done by a human!
This kind of matter was already beyond their capabilities. They could only invite the most famous yin-yang master in Nanling, Tang Xuan, to take action.
“Alas, what a pity.” Tang Xuan stepped forward and fiddled with the corpse, turning it over. As a result, even the back of the corpse’s neck and scalp had turned black.
“What is going on?” Suddenly another group of people arrived as well.
“Dad, you are finally here. You scared me to death.” Yuan Na threw herself into the arms of the leading middle-aged man.
Yuan Lianghua patted Yuan Na on the back, then asked a few concerned questions.
This area was his jurisdiction. With this kind of incident happening, he naturally had to come and take a look as the district chief.
“District Chief Yuan.” Tang Xuan nodded.
“Master Tang, you are here too.” Yuan Lianghua went up to shake hands, using an honorific. After all, Tang Xuan’s reputation was widespread. Even when he saw him, he had to address him as Master Tang!
“Take the corpse back. It should still be that vengeful ghost claiming lives!” Tang Xuan looked at the corpse, then instructed the squadron leader.
“Luo Chen, is it really a vengeful ghost claiming lives?” Zi Yuan asked Luo Chen.
Because Zi Yuan clearly remembered that on the night Luo Chen saved her, he could tell that Li Tao was a ghost and not a human.
That was why she asked Luo Chen.
“No, it is not some vengeful ghost claiming lives.” Luo Chen shook his head.
But Luo Chen did not deliberately lower his voice when he said this, and it just happened to fall into Tang Xuan’s ears.
“Who are you?”
“Does this need your judgment on whether it is a vengeful ghost claiming lives?” Tang Xuan directly refuted.
After all, he had just said this was a vengeful ghost claiming lives, and then someone said right in front of him that it was not a vengeful ghost claiming lives.
Was this not a slap in his face, questioning him, Tang Xuan, the yin-yang master?
“Uncle Tang, no, I just casually asked him. Do not misunderstand.” Zi Yuan quickly explained.
“Hmph, young man, you can eat your food randomly, but you cannot speak randomly!” Tang Xuan still would not let it go.
“Do not spout nonsense there when you do not understand anything in the future!” Tang Xuan spoke again.
And several other people also turned their eyes to Luo Chen, their eyes carrying disgust, especially Yuan Lianghua and the squadron leader.
Tang Long had a very pleased look.
“If you said this in front of others, it would inevitably…”
Luo Chen frowned. He had not wanted to say anything originally, but this Tang Xuan really was being a bit too relentless.
So Luo Chen directly spoke coldly.
“I do not understand?”
“Which of your eyes can see that this is a vengeful ghost claiming lives?”
