Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 114 Class C Investigator (Seeking monthly votes~)

Chen Miao frowned as he looked at the outcome.

It all started when Qi Ning and his group went into the wrong room?

Do not!
If Qi Ning and his group had simply gone to the wrong room, why would that woman have attacked them?
So it wasn't that we went the wrong way, but that we fell into a trap; we were wrong from the very beginning!

One wrong step led to the deaths of Qi Ning and the others, and the fate of Chen Miao and the other two!

Also, the way Qi Ning and the others died was that the four of them attacked each other?

These are the six domestic animals!

She still possesses the spirits of the six domestic animals!
"How should I remind Qi Ning..."

Chen Miao thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation for how he knew this information.

Moreover, if the woman's plan wasn't a pre-arranged trap but rather a last-minute change of plans, then my suggestion could very well put them in danger.

Therefore, if you don't want to end up like the one in the book, there's only one way.

He went along too!
Adapt to the situation described in the book!

This woman must be dealt with, or there will never be peace again!
Having made a decision, Chen Miao began to assess his situation.

The premium spirit-suppressing talismans have already been used, and even the last two ordinary spirit-suppressing talismans have been given to Xiang Shang and his group for self-defense.

The spirit tablet would be useful, but if he were to use it, he would probably be captured before the woman was even caught.

That leaves only the "Six Secrets of Subduing Truth"!

Judging from the previous cases involving the two beast spirits, the "Six Secrets of Subduing Truth" is useful, but how to use it requires a plan.

Another thing is to guard against the other party's animalistic tendencies!

If we don't use a spirit tablet to ward off evil spirits, there's only one way.

Chen Miao opened the book and looked at the status section.

Negative emotions can be temporarily stored away!

With this state, I have a chance to resist the emotions of the six animals. If I activate the Ice Heart state, even if there are still negative emotions inputted later, I can withstand it for a longer period of time until the Six Secrets of Subduing Truth take effect!
But that's still not a guarantee.

Chen Miao took out his phone and sent a message to Zhong Cai.

"Brother Zhong, are you busy? Could I borrow your Tranquilizing Talisman and Tranquilizing Pendant for a moment?"

The other party had said they would do something, but Chen Miao didn't know if they had finished it, so he didn't want to call them directly.

After sending the message, Zhong Cai didn't reply until Chen Miao's car arrived at the police station.

"Sure, but I'm not in Shannan City right now. If you can wait, I should be back tonight."

Upon seeing this news, Chen Miao sighed.

"Thanks, but there won't be enough time tonight. I'll think of something else."

After sending the message, Chen Miao saw Qi Ning walking out of a door next to the police station.

Now that things have come to this, there's no time to hesitate.

We'll act according to the book's instructions later!
Chen Miao got out of the car and walked towards Qi Ning.

After briefly explaining the situation, Qi Ning took Chen Miao to an office.

With the help of that staff member, Chen Miao saw the woman on the surveillance footage.

A woman dressed in a business suit, wearing glasses, beautiful, intellectual, and the kind of mature, sophisticated urban professional woman that male otaku would describe.

No one could possibly associate such a woman with raising ghosts.

Aside from her, the people around them at most only glanced at Chen Miao and Xiang Shang. Only this woman stayed in the corner, using eating breakfast as a cover to hide her gaze.

No matter how she tried to hide it, her head had to be facing the direction of Chen Miao, and at the same time, only her head was always in that direction.

Moreover, a red string was visible on her wrist while she was eating!

"It's her."

Qi Ning didn't doubt that the woman was the real one just because of her appearance, but he still checked with Chen Miao to confirm.

"Are you sure it's her?"

"determine."

Although he only had a brief encounter with Chen Miao, Chen Miao left a deep impression on him. He was a man of few words who did things efficiently.

Now that Chen Miao has made up his mind, let's go find him!
Next, the staff pulled up all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity.

Finally, less than a kilometer from Xiang Shang's house, they saw her enter a hotel.

Soon, the hotel's security camera footage was retrieved, but it did not capture the specific room number.

However, the staff quickly retrieved the hotel's check-in records.

Chen Miao watched all this in silence, and suddenly understood what those keyboard warriors on the internet meant when they said, "You have no secrets whatsoever."

Of course, secrets will still exist if you leave the city and leave modernization, but how many people can leave modernization?
After finding the specific room number, Qi Ning said to the staff member, "Keep a close eye on her movements, and notify me if she leaves."

After saying that, Qi Ning gestured to Chen Miao, and the two went out.

"Chen Miao, you may not know this, but four other people have died besides Sun Yi, so this time the target is in some danger."

"Although you can deal with her three ghosts, I still suggest you stay here. People like her can't possibly have that many tricks up their sleeves. It would be dangerous for you to go there."

"Don't worry, I'll call a few colleagues, there won't be any problems."

Qi Ning looked at Chen Miao and said solemnly. During this period of manpower shortage, he hadn't been idle; he had also discovered some special circumstances regarding the secret room in the "Third Ward".

Similar situations to his previous fight in the locked room have occurred before.

Although no one was killed, similar incidents have occurred quite a few times!

Most importantly, the time span is very long!
[Other Dimension] has been open for two and a half years, and this issue can even be traced back to two years ago!

In other words, that guy had been lying low in Shannan City for two years!

If she really wanted to do something, she probably already has.

This sudden and major incident is very likely related to her goals.

The three ghosts that Chen Miao dealt with were most likely not her final solution.

Therefore, he didn't want Chen Miao to go there.

At this point, Chen Miao could not possibly agree with Qi Ning's statement.

"Let's do it together. Although it might not work out with me, at least I won't hold you back."

Seeing Qi Ning frown, Chen Miao continued, "I know the Incense Burning Technique, which allows me to attack before we even enter. This is better than you rushing in directly."

Qi Ning was unfamiliar with this incense-burning technique, but he remembered how Chen Miao dealt with the doll in the secret room.

Nevertheless, Qi Ning was still unwilling to let Chen Miao go. Going it alone is one thing, but teamwork is another.

He acknowledged Chen Miao's abilities, but not his teamwork skills.

Just as Qi Ning was about to refuse, a voice came from behind him.

"The incense burning ritual?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Qi Ning immediately turned around.

"Captain Kui!"

Wei Yang nodded to Qi Ning, then looked at Chen Miao.

"You know incense burning techniques?"

Chen Miao didn't recognize Wei Yang, but judging from Qi Ning's attitude, he knew that this person's status must be quite high.

"Understood."

"That's great. I thought the incense burning method had been lost. I didn't expect to see this ancient method in Shannan City."

After speaking, Wei Yang looked at Qi Ning and inquired about the specific details of the incident.

After figuring it out, Wei Yang nodded.

"Okay, take three people with you. I'll let them know."

"Oh, and bring this one along too..."

Qi Ning added: "Chen Miao."

"Hmm... let's bring Chen Miao along. His Incense Burning Technique will definitely make things easier for you."

Upon hearing Chen Miao's name, Wei Yang glanced at Chen Miao a few more times, then nodded to Chen Miao and left.

Watching Wei Yang leave, Qi Ning turned to Chen Miao and asked, "Is there anything you need to prepare?"

Chen Miao shook his head. He had taken everything he needed; the rest was still in the car.

"Need not."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll contact my colleague, and then we'll head out together and resolve this as soon as possible."

After saying that, Qi Ning left.

Chen Miao then returned to the monitoring room.

He remembered a quote about surveillance that had appeared in the book.

He immediately watched the video several more times, but just as the book said, Chen Miao couldn't find the problem.

He didn't even notice anything wrong with the surveillance footage.

Putting aside this doubt, Chen Miao thought of the Captain Wei he had just met.

He looked at the staff member and said, "Comrade, do you know who Captain Wei is?"

"Hmm? I know him. He's one of the four Class C investigators in the bureau. What, this matter has even alarmed Captain Wei?"

The staff became more attentive.

"That's it."

Chen Miao didn't point it out. After pondering for a while about the difference between 'Grade C' and 'Grade D', he opened the book.

The contents of the book have changed again.

This time, it's Chen Miao's first-person perspective on what happened.

After watching it, Chen Miao looked at the surveillance screen.

He knew where the problem lay.
