You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

Chapter 11 Blood Sacrifice, Trade, and Evil God

In such a serious setting, the consequences of suddenly exclaiming "Holy crap!" are predictable!

All eyes turned to Gu Jinghui.

Wang Lin glanced at him and asked, "Which one of you is Captain Su?"

Su Jianjun immediately stepped forward.

brush!
But then Wang Lin flicked his hand slightly, as if by magic, and "conjured" a certificate.

"Captain Su."

"I am Wang Lin from the Xixia branch of the Special Affairs Bureau. From now on, I will be in charge of this case, and all of you in the Criminal Investigation Division must fully cooperate with me."

As the head of the Criminal Investigation Division, Su Jianjun was familiar with this "special department".

He had met an employee in this department named "He" during his previous work on several cases.

The man was an elderly gentleman who had displayed some extraordinary skills that amazed Su Jianjun. Therefore, he was not angry at the young man's arrogant attitude. Instead, he extended his hand and smiled, "Mr. Wang, rest assured, our Criminal Investigation Division will fully cooperate!"

"Thank you very much."

Wang Lin thanked him, then glanced at Gu Jinghui and asked, "Is this one of Captain Su's men?"

Su Jianjun blushed.

Gu Jinghui's "Holy crap!" was indeed too embarrassing, so he could only laugh awkwardly and say, "Mr. Wang, please forgive my rudeness."

Wang Lin: "Young people, they haven't seen much of the world..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he saw Chen Yang walk towards Gu Jinghui, who then punched Chen Yang in the chest. Chen Yang was not angry at all; instead, he smiled broadly.

Hey!
Wang Lin broke out in a cold sweat, then laughed heartily, "Young and promising, very young and promising indeed! With proper training, he will surely achieve great things!"

"........."

Su Jianjun almost strained his back.

He also noticed the "important person" who had asked Wang Lin to open the car door, realizing that Wang Lin's change in attitude was because of him. He lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Mr. Wang, who is that...?"

"Captain Su, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

Wang Lin did not answer the question, but instead said, "Come on, take me to the scene."

the other side.

Gu Jinghui was filled with a million questions. He looked Chen Yang up and down and spat out, "You, Chen Yang... you've been hiding it well! You even lied to your own brothers?"

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated: "Old Gu, things aren't as you think..."

Gu Jinghui said, "I understand... After all, it's a special department, so we definitely need to do a good job of keeping things confidential."

"........."

It's a secret!

Chen Yang said, "I only learned about the Special Administration Bureau today. I'm not from the Special Administration Bureau; I just happened to run into them at the hospital and was invited to help with the case!"

"???"

Gu Jinghui was even more puzzled: "Why did they invite you?"

Chen Yang didn't know how to explain, so he said, "I'm sorry, I lied to you."

"Yesterday you asked me if I knew magic, if I really had any special abilities... I told you to believe in science, which was wrong of me. Actually, I do know a little bit!"

Gu Jinghui: "..."

His eyes widened suddenly!

Spell?

As citizens of the Great Xia Dynasty, who didn't fantasize about magic and martial arts when they were young?

Chen Yang said, "I'll stop here for now, I'm going to check it out."

Cross the warning line.

Chen Yang walked into Wu Jinhai's courtyard.

The yard was a complete mess, with piles of bricks, cement, and sand, as well as a small mixer. The half-built yard wall had been demolished, and the debris was scattered all over the yard.

Enter the room.

Wang Lin has begun taking photos and collecting evidence.

Lin Miao, on the other hand, was inspecting everything in the room.

Wu Jinhai knelt on the ground, a knife protruding from his chest, completely lifeless. After taking the photos, Wang Lin approached Chen Yang and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

"What do you think?"

Chen Yang then threw the question back at him.

"Perhaps he knew he had nowhere to escape, so he committed suicide out of fear of punishment?"

Wang Lin said, "Lin Miao and I are both martial artists, not skilled at investigating crime scenes. We'll have to wait for the veterinarian to arrive before we can make a judgment!"

"veterinary?"

“The veterinarian is our branch’s forensic doctor. He used to run a veterinary clinic, so everyone calls him the veterinarian.”

Chen Yang lowered his head and carefully examined the corpse.

Then he got up and walked around the room.

Wu Jinhai is 36 years old this year. Both of his parents have passed away. He was married and has a daughter, but his wife disliked him for being too weak and divorced him three years ago.

His home is simply furnished.

Wedding photos are still hanging on the wall.

Below the wedding photo is a small cabinet.

The cabinet was a bit old, and judging from its style, it was probably a bedside table that came with the bed. There was an incense burner on the cabinet with three sticks of incense sticks that had not yet burned out.

Behind the incense burner is a sculpture about half a foot tall.

Chen Yang asked curiously, "Mr. Wang, what is this?"

Wang Lin said, "It should be a figurine... Mr. Chen, is there something wrong with this sculpture?"

"Given Wu Jinhai's personality and age, would he really collect figurines?"

Chen Yang said, "Besides... who burns incense for figurines?"

The three incense sticks in the incense burner were clearly lit by Wu Jinhai after he rushed back from the hospital.

Chen Yang stood in front of the wooden cabinet, turned his head and looked, and found that Wu Jinhai's corpse was also facing this direction. He felt a slight movement in his heart, circulated his divine soul and carefully sensed, and found that only a faint yin energy remained on Wu Jinhai's body.

This indicates that "that thing" that possessed him has left.

Let's take another look at that "figure sculpture".

The "handmade sculpture" was also filled with a sinister aura... and this sinister aura was even stronger than the sinister aura on Wu Jinhai's body!

[Ten years have passed, and strange phenomena have taken hold in the human world. By chance, you discover an evil god who bewitches people, makes deals with his followers, and grows from a mere remnant soul into an extremely powerful being in just ten years through the blood sacrifices and souls of his followers. He wreaks havoc on the region, committing heinous crimes. As a ghost messenger of the underworld, how can you stand idly by?]

[Mission: Capture the evil god.]

[Quest Rewards: Cultivation +1000; Soul-Capturing Bell.]

Chen Yang's gaze flickered as he stared at the "figure sculpture".

Seeing Chen Yang's reaction, Wang Lin and Lin Miao quickly asked, "Mr. Chen... is there really a problem with this sculpture?"

Chen Yang nodded.

He glanced at Wu Jinhai's body again and said, "If he really committed suicide out of fear of punishment, why would Wu Jinhai have made a special trip back from the hospital?"

"Knowing he was being pursued by the Criminal Investigation Department, he ran back and even offered incense to the figurine sculpture, then knelt before it and committed suicide in front of it..."

"Perhaps, it's a ritual performed to honor this sculpture?"

The system task mentioned [Blood Sacrifice].

Moreover, they made a deal with the "evil god" at the cost of their flesh and soul!
Wu Jinhai rushed back from the hospital to complete the previous "deal"...

Or……

He sacrificed his life and soul, and made other deals with the "evil god"?
Suddenly, a wail was heard—

The sound was coming from next door to Wu Jinhai's house, which was Zhang Yanbin's house.

Zhang Yanbin, his wife, son, daughter, and mother—a total of five people—were killed. However, his older brother and sister still managed the funeral arrangements. They wailed and cried, their cries filled with vicious curses against Wu Jinhai!

"My poor little brother... he's only eight years old!"

"That damned Wu Jinhai, how could he be so ruthless?"

"My goodness...you've suffered so much!"

"Mother, your unfilial son... Ahhhhhh... Mother, why did you sit up?"
