There is a trick

Chapter 152 "Supernatural Physique" (4K, 1/1)

"Name?"

"He Ju."

"age?"

"24."

"Write your ID number here."

Zhou Chang sat on a chair by the window. The hot sunlight outside the window shone on his shoulders, but there was no heat.

The air conditioner in the room was whirring cold air.

A short and sturdy man with a flat head and wearing a uniform sat behind several LCD computer screens, operating the keyboards with his unskilled hands. He often stared at the letters on the keyboard and took a long time to type out one or two words.

As he pressed the Enter key, the printer next to the computer made a rustling sound and gradually spit out a confession testimony filled with handwriting.

The man pushed the confession in front of Zhou Chang and asked him to write his name and ID number in the blank space in the lower right corner and put his fingerprints on it.

"Wait here for a moment, someone will come to ask you some questions.

Don't be nervous, it's no big deal.

"Did you have breakfast this morning?" The police officer looked at the handwriting on the paper in his hand, pushed away the chair and stood up, and asked Zhou Chang calmly.

"I haven't had time to eat yet." Zhou Chang said.

"Ah."

The man nodded, said nothing else, turned and walked out of the room.

Not long after, he came in with a lunch box and a cup of millet porridge, and handed them to Zhou Chang: "Eat some of the steamed buns and porridge in the cafeteria to fill your stomach first."

"Thank you."

Zhou Chang thanked him, pierced the millet porridge with a straw, and slowly ate the buns in the lunch box with the porridge.

He waited for a while and heard the humming sound of a car engine coming into the yard.

A pickup truck drove into the yard accompanied by the vibration of the engine.

Three familiar figures opened the car door and got out.

Walking in front was a tall and capable woman, it was Song Jia, whom Zhou Chang had driven to school before.

Behind Song Jia followed the young man Shi Jue and Qian Keren, whose phone number Zhou Chang had left.

The three of them ran straight to the inquiry room where Zhou Chang was.

Seeing these three people, Zhou Chang had an idea in his mind.

Through the conversation with the police officer just now, Zhou Chang vaguely guessed that in addition to Xiao Daniu who jumped off the building this morning, there may have been some other murder cases in Qingjiang Building recently.

It’s just that these murders are unusual.

Involved with weird things.

So Song Jia and her three companions came here specially.

After all, in Zhou Chang's observation, he felt that these three people were most likely not civil servants handling ordinary criminal cases.

Perhaps it is really related to official organizations such as the "749 Bureau", the "Psychic Research Society", and the "Special Ability Association".

While Zhou Chang was thinking, three people pushed the door and walked into the room.

He turned to look at the three people, with just the right amount of surprise on his face: "Huh? Why are you here?"

"We are also civil servants in charge of this area. Isn't it normal for us to do this?" Qian Keren smiled and patted Zhou Chang on the shoulder. He glanced at the lunch box and cup on the table in front of Zhou Chang and greeted him, "It seems that you have already had breakfast?"

“I’ve eaten, I’ve eaten.

The comrades here invited me to have breakfast." Zhou Chang's eyes were still full of surprise. He looked at the three people who sat down behind the computer desk and took out various documents from their briefcases, and asked again, "I really saw someone - it seemed to be a woman, pushing the man out of the window!"

"I just said this to that comrade, and he just took a note and didn't say anything else."

"Yes." Song Jia nodded, looked at Zhou Chang, and smiled gently, "We will be responsible for this matter from now on.

That colleague doesn't understand the situation, so it's definitely not convenient for him to say more.

He Ju, think about it carefully and describe to us what physical characteristics you saw of the person who pushed someone off the building? "

"Physical characteristics?"

Zhou Chang pondered.

Shi Jue added: "Did you see his appearance clearly, or was there anything about him that impressed you?"

"Let me think..." Zhou Chang pondered, pretending to try to recall what happened before, frowning and slowly saying, "I remember that person seemed to be a woman, but she was... taller than most men...

The reason why I thought he was a woman was because his hair was very long and draped behind his back.

She was wearing a white dress-like thing..."

This was indeed the physical feature of the 'person' who pushed Xiao Daniu off the building in his memory.

He did not hide anything from these three people.

"Look, is this the person you were talking about?"

Song Jia pulled out a piece of color-printed paper from the folder, on which was clearly shown the scene of the Qingjiang Building's floor.

At this moment, a window of the building was enlarged, and at the window, a blurry white figure with disheveled hair passed by.

The moment he saw this figure, He Ju's eyes were horrified: "Yes, yes, yes!

This is the person!
I just saw her!
Have you caught the murderer?"

After hearing Zhou Chang's answer, the three of them exchanged glances without revealing their feelings.

Finally, Song Jia spoke to Zhou Chang again: "Not yet. This... this person is very cunning. He has committed three crimes in a row. Each time, he pushed someone off the Qingjiang Building..."

"He killed someone at a fixed location, and yet we still can't catch him?" He Ju, played by Zhou Chang, couldn't help but speak, with deep disappointment in his eyes.

In fact, he knew clearly in his heart that the real reason why these people could not catch the murderer who pushed people off the building was probably because the murderer was not a "human" at all!
Xiao Daniu was killed by a ghost!

After all, he is a Taoist priest and has some skills at his disposal. Even if he is affected by the Forgotten Ghost, he will not lose all his memories. He must still have some ability to protect himself.

But he died suddenly. Only ghosts and gods could kill him in such a short time.

Zhou Chang suddenly thought of something else at this moment -

When they were in the elevator, everyone had been influenced by the killing pattern of the 'heartless ghost' and had forgotten about 'Zhou Chang'.

Then why did Xiao Daniu recognize Zhou Chang's name after falling from the building?

Was it the conflict between the two killing rules that made him recover some of his memories of Zhou Chang?
Then it seems that the murderous ghost in the "Qingjiang Building" is most likely not the "heartless ghost"?
"Ahem..." Qian Keren's face turned red with embarrassment at He Ju's rude words.

Shi Jue glanced unkindly at the online taxi driver opposite him who looked a bit tricky.

Sonja sighed.

"When the murderer committed the first two cases, there were no eyewitnesses, and the deceased did suffer from depression, so the judgment at the time was that the deceased committed suicide. But later we found some evidence that the deceased did not commit suicide." Song Jia explained to Zhou Chang, and pointed at the color print in front of him with her white fingers. "This is one of the evidences.

He Ju, you are really brave.

Someone fell from a building, and you rushed over without hesitation. What kind of thoughts drove you to do this? "

Song Jia stared at He Ju with her pair of almond-shaped eyes.

Just the curious and admiring attitude of the beauty was enough to make some men's bones go limp, and they would confess everything. However, Zhou Chang just sneered in his heart, with an embarrassed look on his face, waving his hands repeatedly and saying, "I'm not that brave, but when I saw the woman pushing the man downstairs, I was shocked and took a few more steps forward...

When I came to my senses, I was already standing in front of the man. "

Song Jia smiled and said, "You have a sharp eye. No one else saw the murderer with loose hair, but you saw it at a glance.

Do you often see things at a glance that others can't see? "

Zhou Chang listened to Song Jia's question and suddenly had a premonition in his heart: "This woman's real test of me has begun!"

What does this "seeing something that others can't discover at a glance" mean?
If the figure in white clothes and loose hair who pushed Xiao Daniu off the building was a ghost, I would have seen its existence at a glance.

This kind of ability doesn't seem to be something that ordinary people have nowadays?

Song Jia hopes to use words to truly test whether "He Ju" has the ability to "see ghosts"?

If 'seeing ghosts' is considered a gift, then these three people are definitely not just from ordinary government agencies. They might gradually absorb my body into their work units...

In a flash of thought, Zhou Chang had already figured out the real intentions of these three people.

“Everyone has two eyes, and I am no different from others.

I see what others see, but sometimes I may be more observant and see some fleeting figures at the entrances of deserted alleys or on the side of abandoned roads...

The passengers in my car often didn't see it. It might be an illusion because I've been driving for too long. " Zhou Chang shook his head and said, as if he didn't realize that Song Jia was testing him with words.

But as he spoke, he had already cast the hook.

——Just in time to catch Song Jia and three other stupid fish who thought they were fishermen.

In the corner of Zhou Chang's eye, Shi Jue sat up slightly.

Qian Keren also stopped typing on the computer keyboard, recording something.

Song Jia held her chin with her hand and looked at Zhou Chang with sparkling eyes: "These things you said are mysterious and quite interesting.

But do you still remember what you saw specifically? "

Under Song Jia's gaze, Zhou Chang raised his head slightly, looking embarrassed and somewhat complacent.

He seemed to have lost himself, and now he completely opened his heart: "Let me think...

Well... let me tell you about my childhood. When I was a child, I could often see things that other people could not see. You may think it is superstitious, but at that time, I often saw painted-faced figures picking up coal ore in the coal shed of my house.

There are often old ladies with bound feet jumping around on the beams and rafters.

Every time I saw these things and told the adults about them, they would take me to the house of the witch at the south end of the village, under the embankment.

The witch kept chanting incantations around me and sticking chopsticks into the water bowl, and I fell asleep in a daze every time.

When I woke up - everything was still the same.

Now that I've grown up, I've gradually stopped believing in the existence of ghosts and gods, and I see those things less often.

What I saw when I was a child might just be a fantasy created by a child’s active brain…”

Song Jia listened to Zhou Chang's words.

When Zhou Chang finished speaking, she nodded slightly, said "hmm", and sat up straight.

Behind the LCD computer screen, Qian Keren began to tap on the keyboard again, not knowing what he was recording.

Shi Jue drooped his eyelids and no longer looked at Zhou Chang.

Their "test" of Zhou Chang has ended.

Just from their expressions, Zhou Chang didn't know whether he had entered their scope of investigation or was excluded from their sight.

"Where do you live now?

I may ask you some questions later and need your cooperation." Qian Keren looked up at Zhou Chang from behind the computer and asked.

Zhou Chang answered truthfully.

"Okay." Qian Keren wrote down Zhou Chang's home address and said, "Then let's stop here today. I'm sorry for taking up your time and causing you trouble."

"No, no, it won't delay."

Zhou Chang shook his head repeatedly, then stood up and said goodbye to the three people.

Qian Keren and three others watched Zhou Chang leave the martyrdom room and walk out of the compound.

The three of them exchanged glances, and Shi Jue immediately pulled out a chair, stood up, and locked the door of the inquiry room. He came back and sat down, and began by saying, "This person must have had a talent for seeing ghosts when he was a child.

Unfortunately, as he gets older, this talent should have been gradually worn away by him...

Alas, before I came here, I thought I could find a good material with a 'psychic physique' this time, but it seems that I am destined to be disappointed."

"We can't deny the possibility that He Ju has a 'supernatural physique' based on a few words of negotiation." Qian Keren shook his head, "Otherwise, you can't explain why he could see the murderer lingering in Qingjiang Building at a glance.

I think He Ju is worth investigating.

People with "psychic constitution" are very likely to have supernatural events happen around them.

I think we should dispatch some personnel to keep a closer eye on He Ju in secret.

At present, our "Spiritual Adjustment Bureau" is very short of manpower, so we should not let go of any talent. Even ordinary people who may become talents should be included in our sight, observed more, and considered more.

Song Jia, what do you think? "

Song Jia, whose name was mentioned by Qian Keren, hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I agree to pay more attention to He Ju.

Last time, he drove the three anchors and went back and forth with us to the "Spring Hospital".

This is a coincidence, but it may also be a mysterious hint.

If it is confirmed that He Ju really has a supernatural physique, we can start a background investigation, assessment, and personal willingness survey on him, and then absorb him into the outer periphery of the Spirit Adjustment Bureau and make him a 'clerk' first. "

"Okay." Qian Keren nodded and looked at Shi Jue again.

Shi Jue spread his hands and said indifferently: "Alright, then who will go to investigate He Ju?"

“Let’s dispatch additional personnel from the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau.

He is already familiar with the three of us, and it is hard not to attract his attention when we appear in front of him." Qian Keren made a decision, and his eyes fell on the color picture that he had given to Zhou Chang to look at earlier.

In the picture, a figure in white clothes and loose hair flashes past a window of Qingjiang Building.

"How did the deceased who fell from the building today get into Qingjiang Building?

Isn't the whole building blocked off?" Qian Keren asked with a headache.

"From the surveillance footage, it seems that the deceased took advantage of darkness to hide inside Qingjiang Building.

He has some tricks that ordinary people don't have, which can avoid the blockade of investigators. "Song Jia narrowed her eyes and said softly, "The deceased suddenly became uncharacteristic one or two days before his death. He couldn't remember his name, home address, family members, and did many things that were very different from his previous identity.

This abnormality brought him the attention of "yinshenggui".

In order to avoid the evil, he finally hid in Qingjiang Building, but met his death in this building. "

"The treacherous..." Qian Keren murmured, "Why are there so many people being targeted and hunted by the 'treacherous' recently?"

"Not sure.

However, senior management is concentrating their efforts on investigating this matter.

There may be results soon." Song Jia said.
