Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 382 Pain
In Li Maoshen's eyes, was there nothing more important than profit?
Did he feel at ease spending the money he earned this way?
Could he really sleep at night, looking at the haggard face of the woman who still trusted him?
Didn't he have even the slightest bit of remorse?
"This is murder!" As a woman, Chu Jiu's mood was easy to imagine. She clenched her small fists and stared at the computer in front of her. The woman's experience made her angry. "These beasts..."
"It's not a waste that these beasts are dead," Jiang Cheng said, looking at the crooked handwriting.
Now that things were clear, Wan Yuanning took back the computer, fiddled with it a few times, and handed it to Jiang Cheng. "We also found these. Take a look first."
On it was a news item, dated July 21st, with the headline: "A Woman Falls to Her Death in an Apartment on Donghua Road in This City Late at Night."
Scrolling down, the news content also included several pictures. A corpse lay on the cement ground, covered with a white cloth, stained with blood.
The area was cordoned off, police were maintaining order, and people in white suits were squatting to the side, taking pictures for evidence.
The background was blurry, but Jiang Cheng immediately recognized that it was the Ping An Apartment where they were.
Chu Jiu frowned, but before she could speak, Wan Yuanning said, "We found the women who were harassed by Li Maoshen and checked with them. They received the horror videos in the early morning of July 19th and reported it to the police the next day."
"So this woman committed suicide by jumping off the building after the police came to her door," Jiang Cheng said, looking up.
This woman must have learned everything from the police, and may even have seen those horror videos that were used as selling points, thus learning that it was all a scam by Li Maoshen.
There were no ghosts, the real ghost...was right beside her.
The woman, already scarred from love, could not accept such a blow and committed suicide by jumping off the building.
"Perhaps it wasn't suicide, maybe Li Maoshen killed her and disguised it as a suicide," Chu Jiu said angrily, pressing her hands on the table and leaning forward. "You've seen it, he's a scumbag! He's capable of anything!"
Jiao Tailang signaled everyone to calm down and explained, "According to our investigation, the police did not find any evidence that Li Maoshen killed the woman. From the time the police came to the door to the time the woman committed suicide by jumping off the building, Li Maoshen didn't even go home."
"You don't have to be at home to kill someone," Chu Jiu said loudly. "Maybe he coerced her over the phone, or induced her to commit suicide. Didn't you see how much this woman had been mentally controlled by Li Maoshen?"
If these beasts hadn't done such a thing, Sister Xu Yi wouldn't have had an accident. Chu Jiu's hatred for them almost overflowed from her eyes.
She was determined to make these people pay with their lives, and seemed to have forgotten that these people who had committed wrongdoings had already been killed by ghosts before the law arrived. They were no longer human.
A hand covered Chu Jiu's head and rubbed it. "Calm down," Jiang Cheng said calmly. "They're already dead, and besides, what we can think of, the police wouldn't not think of."
Now things were clear. After this woman committed suicide, her resentment was hard to dissipate, and she turned into a vengeful ghost to take revenge, using their own methods to treat them in the same way.
Returning the pain she suffered, doubled.
And turning these horror videos into reality.
Except this time, their identities were reversed, and the ghosts had become real.
The Shen Wei Spirit Exploration Team was wiped out by a real supernatural event.
Picking up the computer, Jiang Cheng looked at it and, finding no new clues, raised his head. "Can I ask a question?" After a few seconds, he looked at Jiao Tailang and the others.
"Please speak."
"Did you really collect these clues in one morning?" Jiang Cheng's tone was very polite, and so was his expression. "And the police investigation results... aren't that easy to get, right?"
Hearing this, the atmosphere fell silent. Jiao Tailang glanced at Hua Luo inadvertently.
"I collected the information from the police," Hua Luo admitted generously, looking Jiang Cheng in the eyes without dodging.
Fatty asked curiously, "How did you do it?"
"I have my ways." Hua Luo seemed unwilling to say more about this topic, and instead said, "Please believe that this information is absolutely true, and..."
"And what?"
"And I think there's a big problem with the cause of this woman's death." Hua Luo continued, "There seems to be disagreement within the police department about this case. I should have been able to get more information, but its security level exceeded my expectations."
"I'm still working on it," Hua Luo said, looking up, "but it takes time."
Most of the teammates who survived the nightmare had a few tricks up their sleeves, especially the ones who had a weird style from the start.
After discovering that Hua Luo was a cross-dresser, Jiang Cheng had paid attention to him. Now it seemed that this guy was indeed not simple.
Jiang Cheng looked at him a few times, then nodded. "Please do so as soon as possible."
"What's this woman's name?" Jiang Cheng asked casually.
In his opinion, since Hua Luo and the others had investigated to this point, the woman's name should have been clear long ago, but the result—
"I don't know."
"Don't know?" Chu Jiu looked directly at Hua Luo. "You've investigated the case, and you say you don't know the woman's name?"
Jiang Cheng seemed to understand something, and looked at Hua Luo with a strange expression. "This is what you said was strange, right?"
"Yes." Hua Luo nodded, his handsome eyebrows furrowed together, and his delicate profile looked a bit sad. "I saw the internal files about this case. The woman's cause of death was defined as suicide, but the wording of this file showed signs of being modified, and the strangest thing is that the woman's name throughout... was all crossed out."
"It was crossed out, not that it wasn't written from the beginning, right?" Wan Yuanning raised her eyebrows and asked.
"That's right."
"It seems that the police discovered a problem during the investigation," Wan Yuanning judged. "And this problem is relatively tricky, so they had no choice but to do this in order to reduce the impact."
"It's not tricky," Jiang Cheng corrected, touching his chin. "It's bizarre. They must have discovered something incomprehensible during the investigation, so they sealed the file and crossed out the woman's name."
Thinking of something, Fatty blurted out, "Ghosts?"
Jiao Tailang nodded in agreement. "Do you remember the clues mentioned in Building 3? Qiao Yu's brother is in the police station, what was the attitude of those policemen towards him?"
As soon as he said that, everyone remembered. The police's performance was very abnormal at the time because they saw that bizarre video of Qiao Yu being killed.
