Chapter 224 -224 Conan Physique

“So you’ve forgiven him, and even stayed with him, is that right?” Zhong Niangyao asked coolly, her gaze toward the female ghost Zhang Jing as if looking at a fool, “To think you were smart enough to get into Imperial University, and yet so foolish as to believe the words of a date rapist.”

Upon hearing Zhong Niangyao’s sarcasm, a bitter smile emerged on Zhang Jing’s face, but she found herself unable to retort, “I was born in a humble small town where people are quite conservative. We had already, as you would say, turned raw rice into cooked rice—what else could I have done?”

“Then why did he kill you?” Zhong Niangyao cut to the chase, “And, moreover, in a place like Myanmar?”

“Because he thought I was pregnant,” Zhang Jing continued, “Not long after we were together, I realized my period was very late and I even started to experience some signs of pregnancy. I thought I was pregnant, so I discussed with him about getting married as soon as possible.”

“He didn’t agree and tried to convince me to have an abortion, emphasizing my studies. I refused, even threatening to call the police and accuse him of rape if he wouldn’t marry me. Later, he relented, saying he would find time to discuss it with his parents.”

“But then, to my surprise, he tricked me into going on a trip and brought me here to kill me. Not only did he kill me, but he also staged a burglary.”

“Later, I found out that he had used a fake identity to check me into the hotel. He refused to come forward, and till now, my body still can’t be sent back to Huaxia Country.”

“Because I’m a foreigner here, my case ended up being dismissed without resolution.”

After listening to Zhang Jing’s account, Zhong Niangyao showed little sympathy, “So, you enjoy frightening the people who stay here, right?”

“My body might still be in the forensic department here, but my soul, for some reason, is trapped here and utterly unable to leave. As time passed, I got bored, so sometimes I’d come out to scare people.”

Generally, she only scared people when a couple, a man and a woman, came to stay. She didn’t know why she did it—perhaps she couldn’t stand to see lovers happy, or maybe she feared what happened to her would happen again!

Zhong Niangyao nodded and then quickly changed the subject, “What about the child you thought you had in your belly?”

“What child?” Zhang Jing’s face bore a scornful smile, “That was just a misunderstanding. In fact, on the very morning of the incident, my period had started. I had intended to tell him as soon as possible, but by then he had already made his move.”

“Sometimes I wonder, if I had just told him earlier, could I have avoided dying so miserably?”

“No,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head earnestly, “As soon as you threatened to call the police on him, he had already harbored the intent to kill you. He didn’t even take you to the hospital for a check-up but instead took you on a trip immediately. Doesn’t that tell you everything?”

“It seems I was truly naive not to see it all clearly.”

“What do you plan to do then?” Zhong Niangyao tilted her head, “Are you going to stay here forever? Haven’t you thought about revenge?”

“I dream of revenge,” Zhang Jing’s eyes instantly reddened, but she still struggled to suppress the hatred inside her, lest she truly turned into an evil ghost, driven by vengeance, “But I absolutely can’t leave this hotel, not even this room.”

If she could leave, she would have followed that scumbag out long ago and killed him herself.

“You died here, and your resentment is so deep that you’ve become an earth-bound spirit. That’s why you can’t leave,” Zhong Niangyao said indifferently, “When I leave, I’ll take you with me. And about your body, I’ll find a way to send it back and give it to your parents.”

“Really? Can you do that?” Zhang Jing was overjoyed, “I can’t thank you enough.”

Then, as if she remembered something, she suddenly shook her head, “There’s another thing I want to ask you.”

“After my body is returned to China, don’t give it directly to my parents. Please help to cremate my body first, then you can give my parents the ashes.”

She knew her parents, despite the grief, would certainly want to see her one last time. But her death had been so horrible that it would be unbearable for them to see.

Better to spare them the additional heartache and let them never know the extent of the torment and suffering she endured before her death.

Hearing Zhang Jing’s request, Zhong Niangyao showed a hint of surprise, but quickly understanding Zhang Jing’s state of mind, her eyes filled with comprehension.

She nodded, “Alright, I promise you.”

“You can vanish for now. When it’s time for me to leave, I’ll call you to come with me. One more thing—”

As she spoke, Zhong Niangyao’s piercing gaze fell on Zhang Jing, “These next few days while I’m staying here, be careful. I don’t appreciate being spied on. If I discover anything, the consequences will definitely be more than you can bear.”

Zhang Jing nodded repeatedly, then her body slowly became transparent and finally vanished into thin air.

After Zhang Jing left, Zhong Niangyao leaned lazily on the sofa, sighing helplessly, “I feel like I’ve really got a touch of the Conan physique—only, instead of finding murder cases wherever I go, I encounter ghosts.”

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s description, Lu Yichen, who had been sitting quietly to the side, couldn’t help but laugh.

“Is it that funny?” Zhong Niangyao glared at Lu Yichen with annoyance.

“No,” Lu Yichen reined in his smile, then continued, “What do you plan to do next? Do you need help with Zhang Jing’s body?”

“Yes,” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “I might really need your help with this. I’m unfamiliar with this area; there’s no way I can send her body back home.”

Lu Yichen didn’t refuse, “I’ll have my people take care of it. In the next few days, we’ll send Zhang Jing’s body back home. The ashes will be delivered directly to her parents.”
