My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

The vengeful spirit looked at Zhang Hao, its eyes almost brimming with tears. It didn't say anything, but just pleaded with Zhang Hao with its pitiful eyes.

Most people would soften under such gazes, unless they are heartless.

However, Zhang Hao never softened his heart, and even teased him with a smile: "If you want to repent and start anew, you have to understand that you have to pay the price for what you've done. Otherwise, if so many evil people in this world said they wanted to repent and start anew before they were punished, wouldn't they all be able to escape punishment?"

The vengeful spirit was speechless.

He actually agreed with Zhang Hao's statement, but the thought of both himself and his brother Xiao Gui being punished made him feel particularly sad.

If only I hadn't been so willful back then, who would have thought it would end up like this?

Sigh, it's all my fault for trusting Lu Yuxuan so easily and being deceived by her.

The vengeful spirit thought to itself, "If there really is a next life, I will definitely teach Lu Yuxuan a lesson and make her life miserable."

"I understand. When can you get rid of Lu Yuxuan? That wicked woman might do more bad things as long as she lives. You have to get rid of her quickly," the vengeful spirit urged anxiously.

Zhang Hao reassured him, "Alright, alright, we'll handle this. Just go back and keep an eye on Lu Yuxuan. Report back immediately if she makes any moves, understand?"

The vengeful spirit nodded, vowing to handle the matter well, and before leaving, it urged Zhang Hao to finish it as soon as possible.

The little vengeful spirit flew away. Zhang Hao slapped his forehead, sighed, took the cardboard box, and went straight to the head of the Major Crimes Unit.

"You came to see me? What's the matter?" The head of the Major Crimes Unit had no choice but to come out and greet Zhang Hao when he saw him come in person.

People in these mysterious departments are always well-connected and capable, so it's best to be polite to them.

Zhang Hao slowly pulled out the tape recorder made of folded paper from his pocket.

At this moment, the subordinate who had been called to make tea earlier came in with the tea. When he saw the origami tape recorder on the table, he couldn't help but laugh.

"You two are really childlike at heart, still having the leisure to play with origami at a time like this."

Zhang Hao was speechless. In their line of work, misunderstandings were indeed common, like now, where he was easily mistaken for a naive kid.

“This isn’t your ordinary origami.” Zhang Hao sighed helplessly, and without further explanation, cut straight to the point. “I’ve come to you this time because I want you to take on a case. This case is rather special, involving some supernatural phenomena, but we will do our best to assist you, hoping that you can bring the real culprit to justice.”

As he spoke, Zhang Hao lightly tapped his finger, and the paper recorder on the table suddenly started and played a sound.

That voice was the same tone of the vengeful spirit who had confessed everything to Zhang Hao earlier.

The voice sounded just like a human's, but both the head of the major crimes unit and his subordinate couldn't help but shudder and get goosebumps all over their bodies.

They always felt an indescribable chill in that voice, as if a cold wind rose straight up from the bottom of their hearts, making their skulls feel cold.

"She lied to me, saying she had feelings for me."

"But that's all a lie. She just wants to use me to do some shady things, like killing Wei Zhiyuan to silence him. She's already realized her crimes might be exposed, which is why she started this series of cover-ups..."

After listening to the recording, the head of the serious crime unit suddenly realized that the wife of the local richest man had recently done so many heinous things.

She first conspired with Wei Zhiyuan to frame Chen Anshui, then killed him to cover it up. After the plot was exposed, she killed Wei Zhiyuan as well, attempting to cover up the truth forever.

This is absolutely outrageous; it's unbelievable.

Ultimately, it's all about fighting for the family fortune!
One after another, all sorts of conspiracies and schemes emerged, all for money!

The head of the serious crimes unit could hardly believe his ears. After listening to the recording, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Hao with a skeptical gaze: "Is this true?"

“If it weren’t true, why would I have made this trip in person?” Zhang Hao said seriously. “This was recorded by the vengeful spirit of Lu Yuxuan’s miscarried child. This is solid evidence. However, this evidence can only serve as our side’s basis. If you want to deal with Lu Yuxuan openly and fairly, you will need some other evidence.”

The head of the major crimes unit frowned: "You make it sound so easy. Investigating and gathering evidence in this kind of case is incredibly difficult. Especially since this matter involves the supernatural, which I know absolutely nothing about. If we use conventional methods to gather evidence, that woman is so cunning, she certainly won't leave much behind."

Zhang Hao thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "If all else fails, you can arrest her first. Then I'll use supernatural events to break down her psychological defenses and make her confess everything when she's emotionally broken down."

At present, this seems to be the only reliable solution. The head of the Major Crimes Unit had no choice but to temporarily agree to Zhang Hao's proposal.

"In the end, this matter still depends on you, Mr. Han. You have to give me a hand with such a big case. If you need any help in the future, just let me know, and I promise I'll handle it perfectly for you."

When you're in the world of business, how can you not be mindful of human relationships? Zhang Hao replied earnestly, "No problem. If we cooperate in the future, we might be able to solve even more major cases."

Upon hearing this, the team leader laughed heartily: "Mr. Han, then I'll take your good wishes. If you can help me solve a few more big cases in the future, I'll even erect a longevity tablet for you."

Zhang Hao quickly waved his hand to refuse: "That's not necessary, I have no attachment to incense offerings..."

Before he could finish speaking, a member of the Major Crimes Unit came running in, panting, holding a file in his hand, his face full of anxiety.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic in broad daylight? Don't you know to knock before coming in?" the team leader scolded, frowning.

The team member wiped the sweat from his brow, almost crying with anxiety: "Team leader, something terrible has happened! We received a message from the person who reported it: Chen Zixuan is dead! He died in the hospital room! They said it was sudden cardiac death!"

Both the head of the serious crime unit and Zhang Hao were stunned by these words.

"He's dead?" Zhang Hao was about to press for more information when he looked up and saw a person standing at the door, staring blankly at them. It was Luo Shui, who had come to see Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao had long known that his assistant had close ties with the Chen family, but the assistant had always been unwilling to admit it.

Hearing this news so suddenly must have been very upsetting for the assistant.

Zhang Hao looked at Luo Shui, about to say a few words of comfort, but saw Luo Shui shaking her head in disbelief, completely unable to accept this fact.

"Impossible! That old guy had a perfectly healthy heart, how could he suddenly die of a heart attack? This must be fake! Absolutely fake!"

Luo Shui's tone grew more and more certain as he spoke. He stared expectantly at the people in the room, as if deceiving himself, and said, "What you're saying is all fake, you're definitely lying to me, right? You're joking with me, aren't you?" Zhang Hao was speechless at this point.

He could truly feel the intense sorrow emanating from Luo Shui.

This person is so pitiful. Even if he is deceiving himself, his appearance makes it hard to bear to shatter his illusion.

However, the staff member who had just returned to report the matter did not have such a meticulous mind; at this moment, he only felt that he was about to be in big trouble!

After all, Chen Zixuan was the richest man in the area and one of the wealthiest people in the country. His sudden death in the hospital, suspected of being murder, was definitely a major case. Moreover, such important cases are usually handled by their Major Crimes Unit.

"This is absolutely true, without a single falsehood. Chen Zixuan's body is still at the hospital, and the scene has been sealed off. Team leader, we need to get there quickly; the crime scene must be investigated immediately."

The head of the major crimes unit nodded and then ordered his men to bring professionals to the hospital immediately for a scene investigation.

Zhang Hao would naturally go along as well. Even if he didn't want to go, he had to keep an eye on his assistant to prevent him from doing anything impulsive.

After the car arrived at the hospital, Luo Shui got out and ran into the hospital like a madman, her speed faster than a lightning bolt.

Team leader Lao Zhang watched his retreating figure and couldn't help but wonder, "His reaction is a bit strange. What, is the deceased related to him?"

As an experienced head of the major crimes unit, he knew very well that a person would not react so strongly unless they cared deeply about the deceased.

Zhang Hao shook his head, unbuckled his seatbelt, and got out of the car, saying with a sigh, "It does have some connection, but you'll find out soon enough."

"Know what?" Old Zhang wondered to himself. "He's wearing a big painted mask, how could I possibly know?"

The two walked into the hospital while talking. The area where the fatal accident had occurred had already been cordoned off.

As soon as they arrived and showed their work identification, professionals quickly made way for them and invited them inside.

Before even entering the room, I could hear a muffled sobbing coming from the half-open door.

The crying was filled with sorrow, and it was a very pitiful sound.

Old Zhang pushed open the door and, sure enough, saw Lu Yuxuan.

Standing next to Lu Yuxuan was Chen Anshi, and the person covered with a white cloth on the hospital bed was none other than the deceased tycoon Chen Zixuan.

Just as they were about to say something, Luo Shui, who had been stopped from entering earlier, rushed in after explaining that she had come with Zhang Hao.

He stared at the corpse lying on the bed, frozen in place, his face filled with disbelief.

"Old man, you...you're actually dead?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Anshi glared angrily at him: "I advise you to show some respect when you speak to my father! Even if you have some special abilities..."

Luo Shui ignored him completely, walked forward crying, grabbed a corner of the white cloth by the bedside, and then suddenly ripped it off!
On the white hospital bed, Chen Zixuan's bloodless face was revealed. His pale complexion and flat chest clearly told him that the old man who had been chatting and laughing with him was now completely dead!

Seeing this man's disrespect towards his father, Chen Anshi flew into a rage. He rolled up his sleeves, rushed over, and grabbed Luo Shui by the collar: "Don't you know any manners? How could you do this? Are you crazy?"

During their argument, Chen Anshi accidentally touched his mask.

The mask wasn't even properly on to begin with, and with that bump, it fell to the ground with a "crash" and broke in two.

At the same time, Chen Anshi, who was still cursing, suddenly felt as if something was choking him when he saw this face, and he couldn't say a word!

Lu Yuxuan was also stunned. She gasped and moved back a little guiltily, thinking that this was a vengeful ghost that had come to take her life.

"M-M-M..." Chen Anshi stammered, immediately releasing his grip on the other man's collar and forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace. "M-M..."

"What, are you surprised to see me?" Luo Shui looked coldly at her younger brother, her face full of mockery. "I'm not dead, are you disappointed?"

"Brother... since you're alright, why didn't you come home before? Dad always talked about you when he was alive!" Chen Anshi's words were dry, clearly showing that he felt guilty.

Lu Yuxuan came to her senses and realized that this guy was not dead at all, and that he had most likely already contacted that old bastard Chen Zixuan in private.

This explains why Chen Zixuan suddenly investigated her!

All of this was caused by that bastard Chen Anshui stirring up trouble in the dark!

If he hadn't suddenly appeared and said some things he shouldn't have, the old man definitely wouldn't have become suspicious of me so easily.

If I hadn't already been certain that I was a suspect, and that the other party had even noticed and had evidence, I wouldn't have risked taking action directly!
Ultimately, it's all Chen Anshui's fault!

As Lu Yuxuan thought this to herself, a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.

Since he's already dead, let him die a complete death!
Lu Yuxuan suppressed her fear and kept telling herself that these were living people, not ghosts.

She smiled and stepped forward, saying to Chen Anshui, "You've come back just in time. The old man had already made a will before he passed away, which was witnessed by a lawyer and notarized. Let's take this opportunity to talk about it."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the lawyer rushed to the ward. Looking at the ward packed with people, the lawyer couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder he's a tycoon; even his death can cause such a commotion."

"This is your father's private lawyer. Your father has already distributed his assets. Let's see how he arranged them."

As Lu Yuxuan spoke, she gestured for the lawyer to quickly bring out the will.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the lawyer appeared somewhat nervous. He wiped his sweat and took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase.

As he took the document, he said, “Mr. Chen had his property notarized and made a will, both of which are legally valid. As for Mr. Chen Anshui, Mr. Chen has never mentioned you before. This will may not be very favorable to you, but it is absolutely genuine. Even if you have any complaints, please respect the law and your father’s arrangements.”

The lawyer then began reading out the division of the assets. (End of Chapter)
