Chapter 115 An Old Account

“The big deal is, why can you still log into your account from your previous life?”

Boss Zhou remembered that when he was reborn, he had spent an entire afternoon trying to log into his old social media accounts, but without success.

He was either asked to reissue his phone card or to verify his friends, neither of which was feasible.

Now, Lao Zhang could directly use his old WeChat account, which made Boss Zhou feel very unbalanced.

“Uh, I found this among my personal effects,” Zhang Yanfeng replied.

“Personal effects?”

“Yeah, I went home. After my son came to the bookstore the day before yesterday, he went back to school, and I went home and brought my phone over.”

Zhou Ze nodded, so that’s how it was.

But he still felt annoyed inside.

“Should we look into this matter?” Zhang Yanfeng asked.

The current life and circumstances still felt unfamiliar to Lao Zhang, but as long as there was a case to handle or investigate, he would immediately be full of energy, and even life would become hopeful again.

“Forget it, didn’t you say yesterday that you were planning to take some time to go back to Yancheng to see your family? Although the owner of this body doesn’t have children, he still has a mother. Since you’re using his body, you should fulfill your filial duties for him.

He was also a good policeman. You all…

It hasn't been easy.”

Hearing this, Lao Zhang fell silent and then nodded.

Police officers understood each other best. In his twenty years as a criminal police officer, many of his former comrades had sacrificed themselves. He was well aware of this kind of sorrow.

“Okay, then I’ll set off this afternoon,” Lao Zhang decided.

“Go to the counter and get some money, and take some ghost money as well. If you encounter trouble, you can burn some ghost money.”

“Okay, I got it.”

“I’ll take some time this afternoon to go to the school and take a look.”

“Mm.”

Lao Zhang went back to his seat, focusing on his battle with breakfast.

Zhou Ze, on the other hand, held Lao Zhang’s phone, repeatedly looking at those pictures.

The scenes were bloody,

and brutal.

No wonder the newspaper didn’t dare to publish the crime scene photos.

Two college students dying one after another in one day should be a big deal, right? Zhou Ze’s intention was to take a look first, to see the results of the police investigation.

If the police locked onto a suspect and confirmed that it was done by a human, he could also rest and not have to move.

But Boss Zhou was also worried that if it was really the work of a ghost and he let it go, causing another death, he might also bear some responsibility.

In addition, in the last incident of the evil ghost’s escape, Zhou Ze had earned a lot of merit points. He was only three hundred points away from the one thousand merit point mark. After catching a few more evil ghosts to fill it up, he would only need to catch a few more idiots like Liu Chuyu to be promoted to constable.

Ordinary small fries could only serve as snacks. Only big cases like this could arouse Zhou the Salted Fish's initiative.

After noon,

Lao Zhang drove Xu Qinglang’s Nissan to Yancheng.

Watching the car disappear from sight,

Zhou Ze felt a little envious of Lao Zhang.

Perhaps,

this was retribution?

Here, retribution was no longer a derogatory term.

A hero in his previous life,

In this life, he could just find a corpse and be reborn, and he would still be a hero.

Unlike Zhou Ze inheriting Xu Le’s body,

Towards Xu Le,

Zhou Ze didn’t feel much guilt.

Replacing his identity and his life could only be considered karmic reincarnation.

However, Lao Zhang had a special respect and affection for this body. The other party had been an undercover agent for three years, finally sending out a message that led to a successful raid, and sacrificing himself in the process. This kind of unsung hero was truly admirable.

Since he had inherited the other party’s body, he would definitely have to bear the other party’s family as well.

The only fortunate thing was that the other party had not married or had children, which saved a lot of trouble.

He didn’t have to bear any ethical or moral burdens.

Outside, the wind was picking up. Zhou Ze yawned, pulling himself out of his thoughts. He turned to look at the little loli who was still studying her tongue and called out:

“Lin Ke, stop playing with your tongue, come with me.”

………………

Tongcheng University wasn’t a famous school and had no connection to 211 or 985, but it was considered the best local university in Tongcheng. The comprehensive strength of its medical school was quite good.

After entering the school, Zhou Ze tried to find the dormitory where the incident had occurred. After wandering around twice, he finally found it in a relatively remote area, not in the original dormitory area.

It was said that to make room for international students, the local students who originally lived here were arranged to move to the old dormitory area.

And both cases had occurred in the old dormitory area.

At the girls’ dormitory, Zhou Ze asked Lin Ke to take a look at the situation, while Zhou Ze himself walked into the boys’ dormitory.

Although there had been a murder, at most that dormitory wouldn’t be assigned to anyone else this year. The other dormitories in the dormitory building were still occupied as usual.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy to temporarily arrange a place to live for a thousand or so people.

Of course,

Even if someone had died,

After a year or two, there would definitely be naive freshmen who would move in. Leaving resources idle was also a waste, wasn’t it?

The dormitory door had a police seal on it. Nearby, students occasionally walked by with basins, but they visibly quickened their pace when passing the sealed door.

Boss Zhou tore off the seal and walked in.

Some students saw it but assumed that he was someone sent by the police or the school to investigate, and no one came up to ask.

Closing the door,

He carefully observed the dormitory.

The body had long been processed and transferred, and many of the things inside had been taken away as evidence. The rest were the roommates’ belongings, which had definitely been taken away as well.

Only the deceased’s bedding and personal belongings were still left in place.

This dormitory faced the sun, and the air circulation was good. Moreover, inside, Zhou Ze didn’t sense any ghost aura or residual resentment.

After confirming that there were no other discoveries, Zhou Ze pushed open the dormitory door, put the seal back on, and turned to leave when he saw a young man wearing shorts and a vest, holding a basketball in his hand, standing in front of him, looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

“Who are you?” the other party asked.

Zhou Ze ignored him and turned to leave.

However, the other party suddenly threw the basketball at Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze reacted faster than him. The multiple times his body had collapsed and been paralyzed after using Wushuang were actually more like “body tempering” in martial arts novels. At least he was in much better physical condition than the sickly Xu Le had been.

Turning around and waving his hand, the basketball was slapped away.

But the young man rushed up again, directly colliding with Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze’s fingernails grew slightly longer, and he subconsciously wanted to stab them into the other party’s body, but he hesitated for a moment.

Because of this hesitation, Zhou Ze was directly knocked to the ground by the young man.

The other party reached out and grabbed Zhou Ze’s collar, roaring:

“Who are you!”

“Police,” Zhou Ze replied.

“Bullshit, I grew up in the police compound, I don’t recognize you!”

Zhou Ze felt a little helpless.

He had run into a police brat.

The commotion immediately affected the other students nearby. Seeing someone fighting, many onlookers quickly gathered.

“Sorry, many criminals have the habit of returning to their crime scenes to observe. I’m going to call the police now and send you to the police station. If I’ve wronged you, I’ll apologize and give you financial compensation!”

Because Zhou Ze had lied about being a policeman, it deepened the young man’s suspicion. He gestured to a few of his companions to keep an eye on Zhou Ze while he took out his phone and dialed a number.

…………

The little loli came out of the girls’ dormitory building. She had been inside that dormitory and didn’t find anything unusual. While waiting for Zhou Ze to come down, she saw Zhou Ze being escorted out of the dormitory by a group of students.

Seeing this scene, the little loli was stunned.

She even,

Teasingly waved at the boss,

Sticking out her tongue.

Zhou Ze glanced at the gloating little loli.

The police car arrived quickly. When Zhou Ze was being escorted to the school gate, a police car was already parked there.

“Xiao Feng, what’s wrong?”

A female police officer got out of the police car,

Skinny and tall,

Like a hemp stalk.

“Sis, I caught a guy who tore off the seal and sneaked into the crime scene, and he lied to me that he was a policeman.”

The female police officer immediately looked at Zhou Ze, then paused and called out:

“Mr. Xu?”

…………

“I’m very sorry, Mr. Xu, it was my fault, I was reckless.” The young student named Zhou Feng stood up from his seat and bowed to Zhou Ze in apology.

Zhou Ze waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.

The female police officer who had arrived was an acquaintance.

When Lao Zhang asked Zhou Ze to handle cases, he had more than once asked this female police officer to drive Zhou Ze back.

Zhou Ze was, in name, still a consultant for the police department, but Lao Zhang, who had hired Zhou Ze, was no longer around.

But at least this identity could help Zhou Ze temporarily clear the suspicion of being the murderer.

“Mr. Xu is interested in this case?” the female police officer asked Zhou Ze.

“Yeah, Lao Zhang appeared in my dream, tearfully begging me to come and take a look at this case, so I came.”

Neither the female police officer nor the young man thought that Zhou Ze was joking or teasing. They thought that Zhou Ze was in pain over Lao Zhang’s sacrifice and was deliberately using this tone to hide his sadness.

“I want to help investigate this case, is that okay?” Zhou Ze asked.

“Uh, it’s okay, but I need to apply to the higher-ups. This case is really thorny right now. So far, there are no clues at all.”

Zhou Ze nodded and said, “Can you tell me the specifics of the victims, such as their personalities, habits, and recent changes? You don’t have to reveal any internal investigation clues to me. I know it’s not convenient for you.”

When Lao Zhang was around,

There was nothing inconvenient.

Lao Zhang couldn’t wait to treat Zhou Ze, this ghost servant, as a detective Conan to carry around with him to help him solve cases.

Confidential files only stipulated that they could not be revealed to irrelevant people,

But there was no rule that they couldn’t be revealed to irrelevant ghosts.

“Mr. Xu, if you want to know this, I can tell you,” Zhou Feng said.

“Oh?”

“Because the deceased, Liu Haonan, was my roommate. I only moved out of that dormitory after he died.

Liu Haonan,

Was also my good friend.”
