Chapter 117: 116 Got Tricked by ’Enthusiastic Audience’ (2 More Chapters)

The souls of this family of five had long been shattered. If it weren’t for Yun Ran’s ability to "see" everything that had happened, it would have been really difficult to find any evidence.

"Focus on investigating the social relationships of this male homeowner, as well as his recent whereabouts, and check his bank card transactions."

Director Liao felt that Yun Ran’s power to "see" was preposterous, but for someone from the Special Administration Bureau to have such a method was not surprising.

Yun Ran pulled Shen Zhe aside and asked quietly, "This scene looks just like a criminal investigation case. How did it end up with the Special Administration Bureau, and why are we given a deadline to solve the case?"

Yun Ran was somewhat suspicious in her heart. Last time, Xie Xuzhi had completely reshuffled the leadership of Hai City Branch, and now something like this was happening. The newly appointed officials urgently needed to establish authority and were using them as stepping stones.

This made Yun Ran a bit unhappy, even giving rise to some transferred resentment towards Xie Xuzhi. What kind of people did he find? A few words at the top not caring about the life and death of those below.

Yun Ran’s eyes were darting around quickly, could Shen Zhe not see what she was thinking?

But he did not rush to explain; instead, he brought up another topic, "Can your eyes really look back in time to see what happened?"

"Do you want to learn?"

Shen Zhe: ...

He suddenly felt that Yun Ran really had the talent for talking someone to death. How was he supposed to answer that?

Luckily, Yun Ran didn’t let him linger in embarrassment for long and continued, "Everything has a spirit, and what my eyes see is no more than what the mosquitoes in this house see; I’m just borrowing from spirits."

This was something Yun Ran had come up with as a child, after all, she loved eating candy but was scolded by her master who hid her sweets away.

But each time, she was able to precisely find where her master hid the candy, thanks to the snakes, insects, rats, and ants in Qingfeng Temple.

It could be said that as long as she was willing, everyone in Qingfeng Temple was under her surveillance.

However, it did consume some spiritual energy, and the creatures she borrowed spirits from often died, so she rarely used this method now.

Shen Zhe didn’t expect Yun Ran to reveal her methods to him so directly.

However, for some reason, he felt that when Yun Ran mentioned these things, she seemed a bit sleazy, as if it wasn’t a skill learned through proper means.

"You still haven’t told me what’s going on here, and at the police station, even the chief has been deployed?"

Shen Zhe didn’t beat around the bush this time and directly informed Yun Ran.

It turns out that among the first batch of police who arrived, two officers didn’t even open the door before they all collapsed at the entrance, which scared the person who called the police.

The police who followed thought those two were attacked and immediately went on high alert, calling for backup.

But then, other officers inexplicably fainted with a ghastly complexion, unable to even enter the house.

Only after seeing the situation inside did everyone confirm that the matter was serious.

Finally, it was Director Liao himself who led the team. His righteous energy was strong, and although the impact of the evil energy was limited for him, he still felt a wave of panic and shortness of breath.

There were officers who had hallucinations and started attacking their comrades; Director Liao decisively knocked them out and then contacted the Special Administration Bureau.

When Shen Zhe and the others arrived, seven or eight officers had already been affected, and it took a lot of effort to clean up the remaining evil energy in the house.

This whole process took quite some time, and local residents, who enjoyed watching the excitement and did not mind causing a stir, had already spread the situation online.

Although the relevant departments quickly gained control of public opinion and took down the videos, it still caused a great deal of panic.

Afterward, both the police and the Special Administration Bureau received orders from the higher-ups that they must quickly quell the situation.

So strictly speaking, it wasn’t a case of a new official lighting three fires but rather they were tripped up by those ’enthusiastic spectators.’

Yun Ran: ...

Although Yun Ran could see that the murderer was the male homeowner, even if he was just a knife wielded by someone else, there was no evidence.

Now, whether it was the people at Director Liao’s side or their Special Administration Bureau, they were all busy.

The medical examiner’s people had already dragged off the victims, and the forensics team was working overtime to examine the evidence.

Based on the preliminary evidence, they could deduce that the murderer was indeed the male homeowner.

But to close the case, the evidence collected was still not enough.

With approval, Yun Ran also entered the house, not only inspecting herself but also sending Little Paperman to investigate everywhere.

If they hadn’t known in advance that Yun Ran was from the Special Administration Bureau, those people who saw Little Paperman flying all over the house would probably have been scared out of their wits.

"Master, I found something!"

A milky voice rang out, causing Director Liao’s body to jolt.

He remembered that Song Ye had arrested quite a number of wanted criminals and had even applied for a special position, which was said to be for a Little Paperman.

Now, seeing another Little Paperman, his gaze fell directly on Yun Ran, "Is Song Ye’s Little Paperman also yours?"

The question sounded like an inquiry, but in fact, he was almost certain of it.

Little Paperman, Special Administration Bureau, the ability to speak—it was pretty much the clinching evidence.

His gaze moved over, and this Little Paperman seemed a bit different because it wasn’t just a piece of paper; it was a paper doll.

Hearing Director Liao’s words, Yun Ran was now feeling instinctively uneasy and immediately wanted to put away Little Paperman.

Last time, after merely asking about her Little Paperman, Song Ye had quickly created a position for it.

Even though Little Paperman’s salary ended up in her purse, she always felt as if she had been forced to sell Little Paperman.

Shen Zhe had already walked over, completely oblivious to the cunning thoughts in Yun Ran’s mind.

Director Liao, being a perceptive man, saw the expression on Yun Ran’s face and guessed what she was thinking, and couldn’t help but laugh, "You wouldn’t really think I’m like Song Ye and want to snatch a Little Paperman from you, right?"

He had more than enough competent people under him; why would he covet a Little Paperman?

Director Liao didn’t realize he would soon be proven wrong, and profoundly so.

He even held Song Ye accountable for it—if it wasn’t for Song Ye’s dramatics, how could he have been guarded against like that?

Guided by Little Paperman, Shen Zhe quickly found several dark and oiled wooden carvings in the kitchen ceiling panel.

Just looking at them made people feel uncomfortable. He hadn’t even touched the carvings when he felt continuous bone-chilling cold.

He was about to use tools to take down these wooden carvings.

But Little Paperman flew up, with a cutesy voice shouting: "Hey, watch this!"

Then, it threw a ball of electric flower from its palm, smashing into the carvings.
