My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married
Chapter 1092 The Case is Tricky
In this investigation, Han San discovered that these families all had one thing in common:
That is, most of them suffered great misfortune and were extremely unlucky.
"Bad luck?" Zhang Hao couldn't help but interject, "Could it just be a coincidence?"
After all, luck is a mysterious thing, and there are indeed people who are extremely unlucky.
Moreover, coincidences happen all the time in this world, and who knows, the cold umbrella might just happen to be there?
Han San said with a serious expression, "There is a limit to how bad luck a normal person can have, but the level of bad luck those people have experienced has far exceeded the normal range."
"Take the younger brother of one of the deceased, for example. The deceased worked hard at a farmhouse to support his studies, and the younger brother was very promising, studying diligently and getting into a good school. But at this time, his parents were suddenly in a car accident and urgently needed a large sum of money. The tuition money originally intended for him could only be used to pay for surgery. He had finally been admitted to an Ivy League university abroad, but he had to suspend his studies and could not enroll! That's a world-class university!"
That's it!
Zhang Hao nodded. No wonder he said he had no money.
Generally speaking, tuition fees at top-tier universities in China can be covered through student loans, scholarships, or financial aid. However, for universities abroad, well, that's a different story—they're truly expensive places.
Moreover, if you don't have money, you can forget about getting into foreign universities. Those prestigious universities are monopolistic and have turned education into a business.
That person was really unlucky; of all times, something happened to happen at this crucial moment.
Han San sneered and continued, "This is just one example. If it were just one family experiencing this occasionally, I wouldn't think much of it. But almost every family we investigated that lost a person had experienced a similar misfortune."
"For example, the parents of one of the deceased had painstakingly saved over 100,000 yuan for their retirement, intending to deposit it in a bank. However, they encountered a scam phone call. Their retirement savings were all swindled away, and they were also tricked into taking out online loans by the two elderly people. Not only did they lose their savings, but they also incurred over 100,000 yuan in debt!"
Zhang Hao gasped.
He doesn't care about money because with his abilities, making money is very easy.
But for ordinary citizens, tens of thousands of yuan is practically their life savings for the rest of their lives. How could they be swindled out of everything, and now, at their age, unable to work and burdened with online loans?
This is beyond just being unlucky.
"Moreover, similar situations occurred in other families. In short, the families of those 50 people who died of sudden cardiac death according to scientific testing began to suffer all sorts of misfortunes after their souls dissipated."
Han San frowned as he spoke of this, and couldn't help but show a look of sympathy.
"Some were swindled out of their savings and left with hundreds of thousands in online loans; some worked hard but were paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident; some had jobs but suffered lifelong disabilities due to machine malfunctions, and their bosses even absconded. Others made thorough preparations for starting a business only to have their investment funds stolen by their business partners; and still others were scammed into marriage after meeting a con artist on a blind date..."
After hearing all these unfortunate stories, Zhang Hao fell into deep thought.
Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible to encounter so many unfortunate events, especially since these unfortunate events all happened in the families of those 50 deceased.
All these coincidences combined made Zhang Hao think of one possibility: a transfer of fortune!
The transfer of fortune is generally difficult to achieve, since a person's luck is predetermined in the dark.
However, after thousands of years of research into unorthodox methods, some people have still mastered some secret techniques that enable them to do this.
However, to transfer one's fortune, one must endure a tremendous backlash.
The person who orchestrated this at once must have been someone who desperately wanted to succeed.
Zhang Hao was making his own guesses, while Chen Anshui listened intently, feeling a pang of sympathy for the unfortunate people. It was truly remarkable to be this unlucky. In all his years, he had never witnessed so many misfortunes happening at once.
"Bai Wuchang said that this matter is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface. It is very likely that someone is playing tricks in the dark. So Bai Wuchang began to investigate. Through the underworld system, we found that the 50 dead people had quite good luck in life and should have been able to enjoy their later years. However, they died young, and their fortunes were also altered."
Han San still felt lingering fear when he talked about it.
"If Bai Wuchang hadn't started the investigation directly from the underworld system, we probably would still be in the dark, unaware that this matter was related to the Judge's Pen. The mastermind behind it all used the Judge's Pen to alter the fortunes and destinies of those 50 people."
After Han San finished speaking, he stared straight at Zhang Hao without blinking.
It seems that only Zhang Hao can solve this problem.
Zhang Hao smiled and asked, "Did the White Impermanence send you back to find me?"
Han San nodded: "Besides you, I really can't think of anyone else who can solve this problem. Besides, didn't you promise the Underworld that you would follow up on the investigation related to the Judge's Pen?"
Zhang Hao remained silent.
He would indeed follow up on the investigation, but he didn't expect things to come knocking on his door so quickly. Originally, he planned to relax and focus on training his new assistant after finishing Lu Yuxuan's case.
Unexpectedly, right after he finished solving Lu Yuxuan's case, the other party seemed to have figured out his schedule and immediately came knocking on his door, with the two cases seamlessly connected.
"This case is of utmost importance; you absolutely must handle it. Don't try to shirk your responsibility at this crucial moment!" Han San became anxious when Zhang Hao remained silent.
This man is now indifferent to fame and fortune, and does things mostly as he pleases. If he doesn't want to get involved in this matter... Han San simply doesn't dare to think about it.
Before the other party had even expressed their opinion, Han San was already worried that he would refuse, which shows how tricky this matter was.
Chen Anshui, standing nearby, couldn't help but complain inwardly. But judging from the situation, his boss was indeed quite capable; otherwise, the other person wouldn't be begging him so humbly.
Suddenly, a cloud of white mist gathered in the corner of the room. This unexpected phenomenon startled Chen Anshui, who had little experience with such things.
He jumped up from his seat and almost grabbed the broom next to him to hit him, but luckily Han San, who was next to him, was quick-witted and grabbed his arm.
"Don't mess around at a time like this!"
The white mist gradually condensed into a human shape, and a young man dressed in a white tracksuit appeared in the room in an instant.
Han San greeted the other person like an old acquaintance: "Old Bai, I didn't expect you to come so soon."
The newcomer was none other than Bai Wuchang. He was carrying a sports backpack and wearing a stylish white tracksuit, looking like a trendy young man.
This person is actually the famous White Impermanence?
Chen Anshui was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out.
Zhang Hao didn't take the initiative to greet the other party, because Bai Wuchang had already come over and asked, "Mr. Zhang, how have you been lately?"
“Everything is fine. I’d be even better off if you didn’t leave me with all this trouble,” Zhang Hao said subtly. Bai Wuchang pretended not to understand him and solemnly placed some documents on the table in front of him.
"This is all information related to the case you are investigating; our investigation records are all here. Mr. Zhang, things are busy in the underworld lately, so we'll have to trouble you with this."
Although Zhang Hao was a little dissatisfied with not having time to rest, he wouldn't ignore important matters.
He nodded and said casually, "Alright, I'll take care of it."
Bai Wuchang flattered him expressionlessly, "Mr. Zhang truly cares for all living beings; I admire him."
Zhang Hao didn't give Bai Wuchang any face, saying mercilessly, "Come on, you admire me? You didn't come here just to deliver the documents, did you? I guess the King of Hell in the underworld was afraid I'd shirk my responsibilities, so he specially sent you here to urge me and keep an eye on me."
Bai Wuchang gave an awkward yet polite smile and remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Chen Anshui was full of curiosity about Bai Wuchang, but he was just a nobody at the scene and had no right to speak, so he could only hold back for the time being.
"Alright, go back and tell Yama and Judge Lu that I will take full responsibility for investigating this matter and put their minds at ease."
Bai Wuchang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Zhang. I'll take my leave now."
Bai Wuchang cupped his hands in greeting, his body transforming into a wisp of white mist that vanished instantly into the wind.
Chen Anshui couldn't hold back any longer: "So there really is an underworld, and Black and White Impermanence? Was that person just now really the legendary White Impermanence? He looked like a trendy, handsome guy to me?"
This person can even cosplay the kind of expressionless, aloof, handsome guy who's currently the most popular and sought-after online.
Back then, Chen Anshui was just an ordinary rich kid who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. He created the persona of a cold, aloof, and handsome man. Although it was all an act, he attracted quite a few rich and beautiful women in that circle with this persona.
Who would have thought that Bai Wuchang, whose name alone suggests a thousand-year-old monster, would actually appear as a handsome, aloof, and expressionless man?
It feels like everything is being updated and replaced with the times.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but burst into laughter and said to Chen Anshui, "You can't just look at the surface. Take me for example, can you believe me? I started out as a tomb raider and corpse driver."
Chen Anshui thought he had misheard for a moment, and even scratched his ear, looking at his boss with disbelief: "What? Tomb raiders, and corpse transporters? I can understand corpse transporting, but tomb raiding... isn't that illegal? Boss, you used to have such a carefree and unrestrained life?"
Zhang Hao laughed so hard he almost fell over, and even Han San next to him couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Yes, Zhang Hao did start out in the business of transporting corpses and robbing tombs, and he even partnered with others to do it.
However, his companions have all found their own direction in life and are working hard towards their goals. As Zhang Hao's skills have grown stronger, he has also become a top expert.
If he hadn't told us himself, who would have known that he once had such a carefree and unrestrained time?
"You can't judge a book by its cover. Times have changed. You still have a lot to learn."
Han San spoke earnestly to Chen Anshui.
The reason he knew Chen Anshui's true situation was because he was going to work for Zhang Hao, and he had to find out the details. Otherwise, if something went wrong, it would be a big deal.
This kid has a clean background, and what's most commendable is that he caught Zhang Hao's eye.
"I understand."
Chen Anshui nodded, indicating that he would never judge people by their appearance again.
After nagging for a while, Han San told them to hurry up and pack their things, as the plane tickets had already been booked and they would be flying directly to the neighboring province in two hours.
The arrangement was very thorough, but Zhang Hao complained that the only thing it didn't take into account was his rest time. He said that this kind of seamless overtime arrangement must have been learned by Han San from unscrupulous capitalists.
As soon as Zhang Hao got off the plane, he ran into a familiar face.
The man was wearing a simple, loose-fitting T-shirt, and because it was short-sleeved, the well-defined muscles on his arms were clearly visible. He wore sunglasses, and coupled with his tough-guy aura, he looked quite imposing.
I never expected to run into him here! After a moment's thought, Zhang Hao roughly guessed that this guy was also here for that case.
"Old Zhang, I really didn't expect to run into you here."
Zhang Hao went up to him and greeted him.
The head of the serious crimes unit was pulling a suitcase, with two subordinates beside him. When he saw Zhang Hao, he instantly understood what was going on.
"I didn't expect to run into you here, Mr. Zhang. Are you here about the agritainment case too?"
Zhang Hao nodded, and the two chatted as they walked. Since Old Zhang from the Major Crimes Unit was being brought in unexpectedly, they had already arranged for someone and a car to pick him up. Zhang Hao was also in charge of this matter, so he got in the car and went with them to find out more.
The agritainment farm where the crime occurred has now been completely sealed off. There isn't a single guest in sight, and even the once meticulously tended vegetable garden is now overgrown with weeds.
As soon as they entered, three groups of people came out to greet them, including Wei Yuze, the owner of the agritainment business.
Personnel from relevant departments briefed them on the situation, which can be summarized as follows: no suspicious information was found.
Zhang Hao asked his staff to take him to the place where the employee's body was found, which was an employee dormitory.
The staff dormitory was on the second floor, a row of low-ceilinged rooms with poor lighting and ventilation. Moreover, the entire dormitory area had a gloomy atmosphere.
As soon as Zhang Hao arrived, he sensed the eerie atmosphere surrounding the area.
He didn't say anything, but followed the staff's directions and went inside the dormitory to check the details.
The dormitory has been clearly marked, indicating which bed each deceased person lived in, which dormitory room each deceased person lived in, and so on.
Zhang Hao glanced at it only once before turning to ask the staff member next to him, "Is the deceased's body currently at the funeral home?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang. We've hired one of your department's staff members to guard the bodies, in case they rise from the dead again." The staff member's voice trembled as he spoke, clearly showing his deep apprehension and fear of such matters. (End of Chapter)
