Coming of the Villain Boss! Chapter 922 – The Detective Who Could See Ghosts (2)

Knock knock…

Someone knocked on the slightly worn-down door.

Ming Shu got her feet off the table and went to open the door.

“Excuse me, are you Miss Qian Sui?”

Ming Shu looked at the neatly dressed policeman stand at the door, then turned her head to look back at the male ghost squatting in the corner, and then turned her head again to look at the policeman. “Did I break the law?”

The girl in front of him looked obedient and had her hair spread over her shoulders. Right now she was looking at him with confused, innocent eyes.

He could see the room behind her was a mess inside.

Chen Wen was also a little unsure and lowered his head to check the picture in his cellphone again.

He confirmed that he hadn’t made a mistake.

“Are you Miss Qian Sui?” This name is a little weird.

“Ah, yes.” Ming Shu opened the door. “Do you see anyone else in here? Oh, right, there’s also a ghost.”

Chen Wen didn’t believe in such things, actually. He took a look into the room and subconsciously thought the girl was just teasing him for fun.

The ghost in the corner had floated to Chen Wen’s side and stared at him like it was watching a novel thing.

The ghosts in this world were a little different. They were just a mass of colorless, tasteless air, and one wouldn’t feel any coldness when the ghosts came near.

The ghosts also wouldn’t hurt humans. The Host never met that kind of situation, at least.

Chen Wen couldn’t see the ghost and didn’t hesitate much. He made a brief self-introduction. “Miss Qian Sui, I’m Chen Wen, a criminal police from city bureau.”

“Why are you coming for me? What did I do?” Has the Host… ever done anything that broke the law?

Chen Wen shook his head. “No, no, I didn’t come for you because you broke any law.”

“Oh, but did I break any law?”

Chen Wen: “…”

Can we have a proper conversation!

Didn’t he mean that she hadn’t broken the law?

Chen Wen looked around at the narrow space and coughed. “Miss Qian Sui, shall we talk inside?”

Ming Shu turned around and walked inside. “Close the door.”

Chen Wen looked at the door which almost teetered down and closed it carefully.

He was afraid the door would fall down if he used too much strength.

The room was smaller than it looked. Chen Wen originally thought their police station was very small and messy, but this place… just had nowhere to put his feet.

There were no extra chairs in the room, either, and the owner before him didn’t seem to want to have him sit or pour a glass of water for him.

Chen Wen breathed lightly. “Miss Qian Sui, well, we have a case…”

“Why do you policemen come to me for a case, I’m not a cop.”

Ming Shu interrupted him.

But Chen Wen continued the sentence: “…and we need your help!”

“Haven’t you come to the wrong person?”

Ming Shu picked up the topic without thinking, but the Host’s memory came to her in an instant.

The Host once helped the police solve several cases.

Relying on her ability to see ghosts.

Also, ghosts could see things that ordinary people couldn’t.

The middle man was a professor from the city’s college, who somehow knew the Host. The reason why the Host would help was because of this professor.

The aged professor also promised he would help the Host find her father.

But last year, the old professor passed away.

So the bridge between the Host and the police station was broken.

According to the storyline, it was also at pretty much the same time that someone came to invite her now, but the Host refused.

“No. You’re Miss Qian Sui, right?” Chen Wen was very certain. “I’m coming for you.”

He thought Ming Shu wouldn’t believe him.

So Chen Wen added quickly, “Professor Zhou Li was my teacher, and I’ve received your address from his wife. I know it’s a little abrupt to come to you, but…”

Zhou Li was that old professor’s name.

Ming Shu waved her hands. “Okay, if you need me to help with your case, you need to pay.”

When cooperating with the old professor, the Host also charged according to the market price.

She had to support herself after all.

Now she needed money even more than ever. Otherwise what should I live on?

“Uhh…”

Chen Wen measured the humble place with his eyes and wiped away some cold sweat in secret.

“That’s okay, money is not a problem.”

“Aren’t you afraid I’m a scammer?” Ming Shu asked and raised her eyebrows.

The city bureau’s case… must be some important cases.

While dealing with cases, the police station sometimes would ask for outside help; but was it really that anyone would ask help from an outsider with an unknown background like her?

“At the moment, we can’t make any breakthroughs and everyone is trying to reach someone that might be helpful. Since my teacher cooperated with you before, I think I should trust him and give it chance.”

“Okay, then, what about the salary?”

“…”

Wasn’t it a little too soon to change the topic?

…

Recently, there were several murders in the city. All kinds of news and discussions spread on social media and newspapers, causing great public panic.

The city bureau requested them to solve the case ASAP.

But they didn’t have any leads.

The victims were all female, between sixteen and twenty-five years of age; other than that they didn’t find any other similarities among the victims.

They had different ages and backgrounds, including students, white-collar workers, women from special industries…

But they all died in miserable ways.

Chen Wen showed Ming Shu several pictures.

It was really miserable.

The bodies were covered with blood and casually abandoned in uncultivated land. Their abdomens were stuffed with strange objects: some stones, some clothes, and some plastic bags.

“What a pervert.”

Ming Shu put down the picture and ate some potato chips to get over the horror.

Chen Wen twitched his mouth.

He couldn’t eat anything when he saw these pictures…

“Every victim has been violated.” Chen Wen turned his attention to the photo. “But according to the tests by forensic experts, it’s not… that…”

Chen Wen didn’t know how to express it directly in the face of a girl.

“Cough… The murderer has extremely strong anti-investigation ability and the site was clear and clean, we couldn’t find any evidence. The time frame of several cases also had no pattern, as if the murderer did them at will.”

There had been a lot of pressure on this case, but they were not making any progress.

Coincidentally, he went to pay a visit at professor Zhou Li’s death anniversary and talked with his wife about the case.

Then the old professor’s wife told him to come to this girl.

He didn’t see anything special about her…

But he thought the professor’s wife wouldn’t mislead him.

“Perhaps the murderer did do it at will.”

“That’s impossible!” Chen Wen shot her down immediately. “The victims were disembowelled with extremely professional tools, and the objects in their belly… were not objects near the crime scene. They were obviously brought with the murderer. If he just did it at random, why would he bring these tools for criminal purposes?”

“You shouldn’t guess a pervert’s thinking.” Ming Shu got up.

Chen Wen looked at her. “Are you going to the crime scene?”

Ming Shu said in a casual tone, “It’s half past six, dinner time, so I’m going to have dinner.”

Nothing can disturb my date with my snacks.

Chen Wen: “…”

When they were at the dinner table, Chen Wen answered two phone calls and listened to the reports on their progress. Apparently Chen Wen’s position was not low.

In the light of the shop, Ming Shu looked at him several times.

Chen Wen was quite handsome. Perhaps because he ran around outside all year round, his skin was a healthy wheat color. He held his cellphone with slender fingers, lips closed, frowning slightly, and was texting constantly.

Ming Shu lowered her head and continued eating.

Chen Wen’s phone rang again.

“Hello.” Chen Wen suddenly stood up. “Where is it?”

The other side answered quickly and Chen Wen hung up the phone. “It’s a new victim. You’re coming with me, come on, stop eating and come!”

Ming Shu was trying to get the last piece of rib. “We shouldn’t waste food. The victim has died anyway, it’s no use running in a hurry.”

Chen Wen: “…”

Thankfully this one wasn’t a cop.

Or she would have been beaten dead.
