“I wanted to tell Ma Long his car was gone, but 1 didn’t expect this kid to spout such nonsense.”
“What ‘ghostly woman’s body? Am I that kind of person, Xu Yang?”
Xu Yang glanced back at the female ghost.
She had a ponytail and was sitting on the sofa with her chin in her hand, watching TV intently. Xu Yang couldn’t help but think: “But she does look pretty like this… Ning Chaisen in the TV shows dares to * ghosts, Xu Xian can play with snakes, Luo Shiyi can even * caterpillars, and I, Xu Yang…”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk!”
As soon as this thought arose, Xu Yang shuddered and scolded himself: “Xu Yang, how could you have such a filthy mind?”
He left the funeral shop.
He got into his Biyadi “Song” and headed to the Wu City Public Security Bureau’s Litong Branch.
Xu Yang thought of Ma Long’s BMW and couldn’t help but feel a pang of pain: “I should call him out and explain things properly later. Also, 1 need to find a way to solve the problem of his Extremely Yin Body.”
Soon.
Xu Yang arrived at the entrance of the Litong Branch.
He took out his phone and dialed Officer Wang’s number.
“Hello.”
“Officer Wang, it’s Xu Yang. 1 have a favor to ask of you.”
Xu Yang wanted to know whether the skeletal remains were really his grandpa’s or not. He didn’t have a way to find out by himself, but he was sure the Public Security Bureau had a way to identify them.
Officer Wang felt somewhat “guilty” towards Xu Yang.
After all, he was the one in charge of the cemetery robbery at the beginning. Although there were clues to follow, he couldn’t give Xu Yang a clear explanation. Hearing that Xu Yang needed his help, he thought for a moment and said, “Alright, come in.”
When Xu Yang found Officer Wang,
he was taking a call on a case.
The informant was a middle-aged man in his 40s, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt.
“Really!”
“Officer, I’m not lying!”
“Someone really stole my car!”
The middle-aged man tried to explain enthusiastically, but Officer Wang’s apprentice, Xiao Zhang, shook his head, saying, “This is a bit too far-fetched… You said someone steals your taxi every night and returns it before dawn?”
“What’s in it for them to do that?”
“How should 1 know?”
The middle-aged man said, “1 felt someone had touched my car a week ago, but 1 didn’t think much of it at the time. It’s been weird ever since, so I intentionally parked the car downstairs at my house and got the security footage!”
He took out his phone,
and played a surveillance video.
The video showed the timestamp at midnight, with a commanding view of a taxi below. Despite it being dark, the surroundings were quite clear, even the license plate number could be seen.
After a few minutes,
a young couple came to the taxi.
They first chatted hand-in-hand, then soon started kissing each other passionately, even sitting on a nearby bench and taking their pants off.
The middle-aged man said, “This part is an accident… Fast forward 3 minutes.”
Ahem!
Old Wang coughed and said, “This kind of footage should not be spread randomly, it’s illegal!”
3 minutes later,
The couple hurriedly left after adjusting their clothes.
Xu Yang:”.. ”
He was dumbfounded.
What the hell!
I just came to the police station, and I get to see this kind of scene?
Can I watch this for free?
But also…
Too fast, right?
However, Xu Yang soon became captivated by the surveillance footage.
As can be seen, after the couple left, no one came to the taxi.
But the door of the taxi suddenly opened, followed by the ignition, and then slowly driving away from the camera shot after a few minutes.
The middle-aged man pointed at the video, lowering his voice, “You see… I suspect my car was taken by Old Ma!”
Xiao Zhang asked, “Who is Old Ma?”
“Old Ma is my friend, who used to drive this taxi with me. I usually drive during the day, and he drives at night.”
This kind of thing was quite common.
Nowadays, in any city, buying a taxi involves a lot of money.
In Wu City, not counting the car itself, just the entry, procedures, and the like, can cost about as much as a three-room apartment.
So, most people who have a taxi, choose to lease it out.
They drive during the day, while someone else drives the night shift.
Xiao Zhang asked, “Do you and Old Ma have any conflicts?”
“No.”
The informant paused before saying, “Old Ma died half a month ago.”
Xiao Zhang’s anger flared up, but considering his duty, he recorded the clues provided by the informant, saying, “Alright, sir, we will investigate this case, and if there are any leads, we will inform you as soon as possible.”
After the informant left, Officer Wang watched the video again and again, then put down his phone and looked at Xu Yang, asking, “Xu Yang, what do you think?”
“Huh?”
Xu Yang thought for a moment and said, “Although this kind of thing is consensual, it’s still a public place… Besides, that young man is way too fast.”
Lao Wang’s mouth twitched a few times, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “I meant what do you think about the case?”
Xu Yang smiled, “I’m just an ordinary civilian, how would I know anything about solving cases?”
“You kid!”
Old Wang shook his head and said, “I know you’re resentful about your grandpa’s case, and I’m sorry… But there are rules and it involves a dispute within your circle, how can we ordinary police officers get involved?”
He explained his stance and then quickly changed the subject, asking, “So, what do you need my help with?”
“I found the stolen bones back, but now I suspect… they might not be my grandpa’s after all. So I’d like to ask Officer Wang to find a forensic expert to help me identify them,” Xu Yang said candidly.
“This…”
Officer Wang hesitated a bit.
Xu Yang knew that the Public Security Bureau had its own regulations. He had come to Officer Wang today intending to ask the Supernatural Affairs Bureau for help if the police couldn’t assist him. But just now, witnessing the “paranormal case,” he said, “If Officer Wang is willing to help me with this, I might try to help you solve the case we just saw.”
Upon hearing this, Officer Wang pondered for a few more seconds.
He stood up and said, “Come on, I’ll take you to see the forensic expert!”
Xu Yang picked up his bag and followed Officer Wang to meet a beautiful forensic expert from the Public Security Bureau.
She talked with Officer Wang for a moment, unzippered the bag, took out the skull and weighed it in her hands, scrutinizing it carefully from both sides before making her assessment: “The deceased is a female, aged approximately 38-42 years old. The exact time of death will need further examination..”
