Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 15 Dangerous Person
The sound was extremely abrupt, as if it came from outside the interrogation room. The two police officers were slightly startled, noticing footsteps approaching rapidly. They first glared at Han Su, then began to hurriedly tidy up the things on the table.

This contrasts sharply with his previous leisurely pace.

"Du"

At that moment, footsteps approached the interrogation room and pushed the door open.

However, the doorknob was blocked by the chair, so it couldn't be pushed open. The two officers were just about to take the opportunity to clean up their things and then bring the camera back on, hoping to delay the process for as long as possible.

But to their surprise, the door opened with a soft thud, revealing several tall, slender figures outside.

Han Su and the two police officers were taken aback, and a strange feeling flashed through their minds.

Looking closely at the door, I saw that the chair that had been against the doorknob was now sitting quietly by the door, while the door to the interrogation room had been pushed open unharmed.

It felt as if I had just arrived at the door, but it was just an illusion.

Before they could even ponder the strangeness of the place, they looked at the figures standing by the door.

Their collars were turned up, mostly covering half of their faces, and the one in the lead was wearing black sunglasses.

He glanced at the milk tea and stray hairs on the table that hadn't been cleaned up yet, seemed somewhat surprised, and then chuckled.

The agents who followed them in looked both surprised and confused.

This place is now the police station, and also the territory of these police officers. Naturally, they are somewhat resentful of these unexpected people.

Just as the man wearing sunglasses was politely making his request, a woman in a fitted black suit with short hair and an extremely capable appearance also presented an identification.

Outside the door, a fat man who looked like a captain or chief of staff suddenly changed his expression and quickly waved to the other officers. Even the two officers who had just interrogated Han Su did not have time to pack their things and hurriedly left the room.

Before leaving, she glared fiercely at Han Su, as if threatening him to know what to say and what not to say.

The door finally closed, and all was quiet again.

Han Su stared at the door quietly. About two minutes later, the door was reopened and a person walked in. It was the man in sunglasses who had been leading the way, accompanied by a capable woman in a black suit.

After entering the room, he took off his sunglasses, nodded to Han Su, and said softly, "Long time no see, Xiao Han."

"Officer Zhang."

Han Su nodded to the man.

He was actually quite surprised, but he hid it very well.

I didn't expect it to be this person, but it seems I should have realized it was him sooner.

He knew this Officer Zhang; in fact, he was very familiar with him.

After that kidnapping case, the person in charge of the case was Detective Zhang, whose name was Zhang Chiguo.

After I escaped that dark bunker, he kept asking me all sorts of questions, taking my statement, and even taking me to a lie detector test and a psychologist.

Correspondingly, he also helped his younger self at the time to persuade several emotionally volatile victim family members to back down.

Moreover, when I could no longer live in the orphanage and needed to transfer to another institution and complete the school enrollment procedures, he helped me. During that time, I even lived with this old detective for a period of time.

As a child, Han Su was always grateful to the police officer who had taken good care of him.

However, he stopped appearing many years ago.

Han Su, who frequently went to the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with investigations and inquiries afterward, also inquired about him, but those people only said that he had left and been transferred to another department.

Han Su initially thought he had been ostracized and resigned from the Public Security Bureau. After all, this officer in charge didn't seem to be doing well in the Security Bureau at the time. But he never expected him to appear under these circumstances.

"I joined a new department and was no longer in charge of the original cases. I just never expected to run into you again."

Since they were acquaintances, Officer Zhang relaxed a bit after sitting down.

Looking at the boy in front of him, who was already a head taller and looked like an adult, he sighed softly.

His gaze swept over the cup of milk tea that had been thrown into the trash can, and his attitude seemed somewhat wistful.

His initial decision to join this new department was actually related to that kidnapping case from years ago, and after so many years, he now believed that the boy was simply a victim.

The pressure was immense back then regarding that case.

After all, most of the children involved in the incident were either rich or powerful, and some even had rather frightening backgrounds.

Having been forced to take on this case, I don't know how much I've borne, but after all, I'm wearing this uniform, so I have to take on this responsibility.

But this boy was also a victim!

He lost an eye and was left with a terrible scar on his face. His life was already ruined, but those people wouldn't even give him the last bit of peace.

Han Su looked at Officer Zhang for a long time before slowly saying, "So now, Officer Zhang, do you believe me?"

At first, although Officer Zhang took care of himself, he did not believe in the so-called monster or the dark castle that had kidnapped more than twenty children.

He just thought he was terrified.

But now, he's involved in the incident related to the ghost truck on Highway 59, and coupled with his changed identity, it makes Han Su feel a sense of anticipation. "I've always believed in you."

Officer Zhang gave a casual reply and then picked up the record sheet on the table.

There were large crossed-out marks on the statement. The police officer who took Han Su's statement did not believe Han Su's words at all. He just wanted Han Su to admit that he had made a mistake or was high on drugs.

They probably wanted to give them a valid reason to keep Han Su at the police station by taking a statement.

Officer Zhang glanced at the statement, folded it, put it in his pocket, and said to Han Su, "I've already looked into the situation, Han. I only have one question."

He stared at Han Su and said softly, "How did you force that...ghost truck to back down?"

Han Su looked at him calmly. Instinctively, he saw that this police officer, whom he hadn't seen for several years, seemed to have a different temperament than before.

Those eyes, in her memory, were filled with resentment and confusion when faced with such a thing. She didn't know why so many children had disappeared, nor did she know what the so-called dark bunker that Han Su mentioned was.

But now, his eyes seem to hold many secrets, which he will not utter aloud, but which are exceptionally clear in his mind.

With a slight movement, Han Su, who had been silent for a long time, slowly spoke: "Song Chushi."

"I wonder if you remember him, he was also one of the family members of the victims who were kidnapped along with me."

“He found me a few days ago, asked me some details about the kidnapping case, and gave me this incantation, saying it was a ritual performed by some fishermen in Jiaogang Lane to appease the spirits.”

"He said that as long as you recite this incantation, you can activate some mysterious power and dispel some bad things. Because I have nightmares every day and want to get a good night's sleep, I memorized the incantation."

"..."

"During the Song-Chu period?"

Officer Zhang's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing the name.

He was no longer the competitive but ordinary police officer he once was; he actually hid his facial expressions very well.

However, Han Su's exceptional observation skills allowed him to discover this.

Where is that incantation?

Zhang Chiguo stared at Han Su, then suddenly waved his hand and said, "No need to recite it aloud, just write it down on paper, or do you have a recording?"

Han Su paused slightly, took out the voice recorder from his pocket, looked at it, and said, "I was just recording what those two detectives said to me. I don't know if the spell has been washed away."

"Ok?"

Zhang Chiguo frowned slightly, but still accepted it.

The capable woman in the black suit next to him immediately took out a briefcase, which contained professional playback equipment. She put on headphones, listened for a while, and then said to Zhang Chiguo, "It's the fishermen's chant from Haijiao Port."

Zhang Chiguo breathed a sigh of relief and gestured for her to go out and continue analyzing, preparing to write a report.

After doing all that, he stared at Han Su and slowly asked, "How did you know this incantation would work?"

"When an ordinary person encounters something like that, they would only panic and run away, wouldn't they?"

"..."

In response to his question, Han Su remained silent for a moment before slowly smiling and saying, "Officer Zhang, I was kidnapped ten years ago by something you didn't believe in."

"Ordinary people don't believe me, nor do they believe such a thing exists, but I do."

"From the very beginning, I accepted this spell because I had always longed for this mysterious power. I just thought that if I were kidnapped again, at least there would be something that could help me deal with those things..."

"..."

He spoke so sincerely that even the old detective couldn't see the slightest flaw in his words.

A complex emotion flashed in Zhang Chiguo's eyes, but he habitually concealed it and asked in a businesslike manner, "Then, when you recited this incantation, did you experience that kind of..."

"It felt as if my spirit had come alive and was permeating reality?"

Han Su keenly sensed something. When Zhang Chiguo asked the question, his expression was too wary, and he hesitated to speak, only slowly saying, "His spirit has come back to life... What does that mean?"

"nothing……"

Zhang Chiguo waved his hand, looked down at the statement, and asked, "Why were you there?"

Han Su said, "I encountered a little trouble in my life, which is related to that kidnapping case. My brother took me to find someone to help me, and that's how we met."

"It's on the record, is there a problem?"

Zhang Chiguo saw only sincerity and calmness on Han Su's face. His tense nerves gradually relaxed, replaced by a faint weariness and感慨 (a sense of感慨 - mixed feelings of emotion and reflection).

"Xiao Han, you're such an unlucky kid..."

He even seemed somewhat helpless, shaking his head: "Why did this kind of thing have to happen to you?"
