A series of "crackling" sounds rang out as Hadalina's arm snapped at an impossible angle!

The sound of bones breaking was especially clear in the quiet manor night!
Chen Anshi gasped. He saw that Hadalina's whole body seemed to be gripped by an invisible force, and her face even turned a terrible bluish-purple due to lack of oxygen.

Not only that, Hadalina's breathing became weaker and weaker until it finally stopped, and even her screams ceased.

Even though she was already dead, Chen Anshi and his mother still dared not touch Hadalina, who was lying on the ground.

Hadalina lay on the ground, bathed in moonlight, her body swelling rapidly at a visible rate! Her skin even began to ulcerate, oozing disgusting pus.

The corpse swelled up rapidly, as if it were being soaked in an invisible liquid, and its appearance became increasingly horrifying.

This utterly disgusting scene was completely beyond Chen Anshi's tolerance. He could no longer bear it, ran to the side, leaned against a lamppost, and bent over to vomit violently.

Lu Yuxuan's face was also extremely ugly. A living person had died right in front of her, and this person was the so-called "expert" she had paid a high price to hire.

Just then, Hadalina's lifeless body suddenly spoke: "Why do you consider me an evil spirit? Why did you banish me? Am I not a part of you? Why are you so heartless?"

As if her secret had been exposed, Lu Yuxuan panicked and backed away, stammering, "No, I didn't... I had no choice!"

After vomiting, Chen Anshi's stomach was empty, and he could only walk shakily towards his mother. Seeing the fear on his mother's face, he felt that as a man, he had to step forward, so he picked up his phone and dialed the police.

Cases involving murder are always major cases, and the police quickly dispatched officers after receiving the report.

The scene was quickly cordoned off, and the police immediately took action to protect the scene while arranging for experts to come and collect evidence.

The once eerily quiet manor became lively with the arrival of the police.

After carefully examining the body on the ground and conducting a series of detailed investigations and evidence collection, the experts reached an unbelievable conclusion.

"Based on the results of scientific testing, this body has been dead for nearly three or four days!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Anshi's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in shock, "This is impossible! This person clearly died recently; I saw her with my own eyes suddenly stop breathing. If you don't believe me, there are security cameras at the entrance; just watch the recording!"

Hearing this, the inspection expert felt a chill run down his spine. He looked around at the manor and said with lingering fear, "I also feel that something is wrong. According to scientific principles, this situation should not be possible at all."

So they went to a room with electronic devices, and a group of people gathered in front of a large screen, staring intently at the surveillance footage playing on it.

The surveillance video started playing, and dozens of people stared intently at the screen.

In the footage, the area around the manor gate is very quiet, with almost no one coming or going.

However, problems soon arose.

They saw Hadalina and Lu Yuxuan appear on the surveillance footage.

Lu Yuxuan personally escorted Hadalina to the manor gate. The two exchanged a few words, and then Lu Yuxuan handed Hadalina a check.

Just as the two were about to wave goodbye, Hadalina, who was about to leave, suddenly began to convulse uncontrollably.

She looked like she was possessed, which gave the police officers the creeps.

They didn't believe in these superstitious things at first, and even found it unbelievable that the manor owner had initially hired people to perform exorcisms.

Only after seeing this scene on the surveillance camera did they belatedly realize the fear they were experiencing.

The captain touched the goosebumps that had risen on his arm, feeling that this case was somewhat tricky.

He remembered that if they encountered a difficult case, they could transfer it to a higher-level department. As things stood, they seemed to have no way of solving this case, so it seemed they had no choice but to hand it over to a higher department.

At this moment, the expert next to him pointed at Hadalina on the screen and said in an unsteady voice, "We have already examined her carefully. The deceased was in good health and did not take any addictive drugs, so there is no possibility of hallucination. In other words, this woman suddenly developed this condition, which is too unscientific! Unless she was possessed by an evil spirit."

Lu Yuxuan's face was terribly gloomy, and no one around her dared to provoke her.

"Madam, I heard that you hired someone to perform a ritual because the manor is haunted?" the captain asked Lu Yuxuan curiously.

Lu Yuxuan replied with a gloomy face: "That's right. I've been feeling that something is wrong with the manor lately. I found out that this person is a highly skilled expert, so I wanted to ask her to exorcise the evil spirits. Who knew it would turn out like this!"

Chen Anshi remained silent.

At this moment, he felt that his worldview had been turned upside down, and everything happening in front of him was beyond his imagination.

So Mom wasn't joking after all; their house really is haunted! My God! Thinking about it now, it's amazing how brave Mom is to still live here.

All the necessary evidence gathering had been completed, but the case made no progress. After the relevant officials left, the manor returned to silence.

Chen Anshi felt that continuing to live in the manor was too terrible, but he couldn't leave directly now, so he could only stay close to his mother.

"Mom, I remember you invited two male experts before, right? Why don't we ask them to come and help? I think only a real expert can solve this problem."

There's a saying online that goes, "Magic can only be defeated by magic, and superstition... seems to be the only solution."

Chen Anshi's words jolted Lu Yuxuan awake. A glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, but then she realized that she didn't have his contact information at all.

However, on second thought, perhaps An Yuan could find a way to contact the other party, after all, that guy has a wide network of connections, maybe he can help.

Lu Yuxuan immediately summoned the housekeeper, An Yuan. Upon hearing her request, An Yuan's face showed a conflicted expression.

“They are truly masters. Our previous attitude was like slapping them in the face in public, a great insult. If we ask them for a favor now, we're afraid they'll refuse outright.”

A hint of guilt flashed across Lu Yuxuan's eyes, as did Chen Anshi beside her.

But Lu Yuxuan gritted her teeth and made up her mind: "It's okay, you call them and I'll apologize to them in person. No matter what, we have to get them back."

Recalling her previous actions, Lu Yuxuan was filled with regret. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have acted so rashly. It was all that dead Hadalina's fault; she was clearly a fraud, yet she acted all mysterious, making Lu Yuxuan unknowingly trust her more and driving away the truly capable person.

An Yuan took out his phone and dialed the other party's number, but the other party kept saying that the call was busy.

An Yuan's expression turned somewhat grim. He guessed another possibility: "Madam, the other party may have already blocked me."

In fact, Zhang Hao hadn't blocked him; he was indeed on the phone. The voice of a staff member could be heard on the other end.

"Mr. Han, please make sure you get there as soon as possible. Based on the evidence submitted by the police department, we are almost certain that this is not an ordinary murder case, but the work of a ghost! Before it causes more deaths, please take action to subdue the ghost and prevent it from causing widespread social panic."

Zhang Hao said somewhat reluctantly, "Why don't you send someone to handle it yourselves?"

After all, the woman from before had clearly expressed her distrust of him, even suggesting she would rather believe a conman.

Zhang Hao didn't have a good impression of these kinds of people and didn't want to help them solve their problems.

The staff member on the other end of the phone gave a wry laugh: "The Underworld is thoroughly investigating the case involving the Judge's Pen, and we're extremely short-staffed here. We simply can't spare anyone to handle this matter. Mr. Han, you were originally in charge of these kinds of things in the mortal realm, weren't you? Please take on this responsibility!"

Having said that, Zhang Hao understood and had no choice but to agree.

As soon as the call ended, Zhang Hao's phone received a call from an unknown number. The screen showed that this number had called several times before.

Who's making that phone call in the middle of the night?

Zhang Hao, suspecting it might be a telecom scam, answered the phone, only to be surprised to hear Lu Yuxuan's voice on the other end.

"Mr. Han, I am deeply sorry for what happened before. If you are still angry, I don't know how to make amends. Someone has died here, could you please come over?"

After the other party apologized, they immediately got to the point, their words filled with anxiety and fear.

Zhang Hao raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "I warned you before, but you insisted on believing that swindler, so there's nothing I can do about it."

"Mr. Han, I know I was wrong! Please, come and help me. If you can resolve this, I can give you 1000 million afterward!"

Although Zhang Hao no longer values ​​money much, this amount still made him catch his breath slightly.

This lady is really generous.

"Okay, but I have a condition." Zhang Hao had already agreed in his heart, but it was better to clarify some things in advance to avoid communication problems and affecting efficiency later.

"Please speak," Lu Yuxuan asked timidly.

“When I handle this matter, you must cooperate with me in every way. No matter what I investigate, you cannot obstruct me. If you are unwilling to cooperate, then I will not take on this matter, just like when you blocked our investigation before. If you do not cooperate, you will only waste your time.”

After the request was made, there was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. Finally, just as Zhang Hao was about to hang up if he was unwilling, the other party finally gave in.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want to investigate, I will fully cooperate."

After receiving the other party's assurance, Zhang Hao said he would come over immediately and then ended the call.

Even though it was late at night, Luo Shui had no choice but to get out of bed and go with Zhang Hao to handle the case.

Luo Shui didn't forget to wear a mask when he went out, because he really didn't want to expose his face to those people.

Zhang Hao understood his thoughts and simply didn't say anything more.

The two drove as fast as they could to the luxurious mansion where the local richest man lived.

It was already dawn, and the sun was about to rise in the east. Zhang Hao got out of the car, and the butler came to greet them, his attitude even more respectful than before.

"Gentlemen, please come in. Your wife has been waiting inside for quite some time."

Butler An Yuan, with a respectful expression, gestured an invitation from the front.

Upon hearing this, Luo Shui couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly, her face full of disdain.

That woman before was extremely arrogant and condescending, speaking to them perfunctorily and making them wait for a long time. Now that she knows the situation is tricky, she immediately changed her tune. This hypocritical behavior is truly disgusting.

Luo Shui disliked it from the bottom of her heart.

As I entered the living room, Lu Yuxuan was already waiting inside.

Upon seeing the two of them, Lu Yuxuan immediately beamed with joy. She pulled her son Chen Anshi along and greeted them with a smile, inviting them to sit down.

After sitting down on the sofa, Lu Yuxuan personally brewed tea for them, saying as she poured, "We were blind and misunderstood Mr. Han before. We hope you will be magnanimous and not take it to heart. I sincerely apologize to you here. By the way, my son also offended you before..."

As she spoke, Lu Yuxuan kicked her son hard under the table, signaling him to apologize quickly and stop dawdling.

"I'm sorry. I was young and ignorant before and offended you both. I hope you can forgive my impulsiveness." Chen Anshi stood up and bowed solemnly to them in apology.

Although his attitude seemed somewhat unnatural, it was already quite an achievement to get this usually arrogant young master to bow down.

"It's alright, we don't care about any of this."

Zhang Hao looked intently at Lu Yuxuan, his brows furrowing slightly as he spoke.

When I first met this woman, her condition wasn't this bad. Now, only a day later, she's already plagued by misfortune, her face is dark, and she looks very unwell.

If he hadn't intervened, this woman would likely have died quietly within a few days.

Lu Yuxuan looked exhausted, but she finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the other party didn't hold it against her.

"By the way, tell me in detail what happened after we left. I want to know the specifics."

Zhang Hao spoke up. Luo Shui, who had felt uneasy ever since entering the manor, simply wore a mask and sat quietly to the side, becoming a silent backdrop.

"Here's the thing, Hadalina..."

Lu Yuxuan recounted the entire incident in detail. Chen Anshi chimed in, "That's right, that's exactly it. I heard that eerie child's voice with my own ears. We don't have any children in our family, and we don't allow servants to bring children over. The sudden appearance of that voice was absolutely terrifying."

Speaking of this, Chen Anshi still looked terrified.

"If that's the case, then combining it with my previous guesses..." (End of Chapter)
