In the investigation of paranormal events

Three days later—

During these three days, Jiang Cheng did not stop for a moment, practicing the opening and closing of his Yin-Yang Eyes and their use in places with heavy Yin energy.

After several days of practice, Jiang Cheng is now not only proficient in using his Yin-Yang Eyes, but also increasingly adept at "summoning ghosts to possess him".

Previously, there was a chance of failing to summon a ghost, but now it's different. Jiang Cheng can summon a ghost to possess her anytime she wants.

"That's about it..."

Jiang Cheng's talent amazed even Chen Ran, and Jiang was no exception. To be able to use the Yin-Yang Eyes to such an extent in such a short time was unheard of in the entire containment community.

Of course, none of this mattered to Jiang Cheng. What mattered was that his level was not high enough; he needed to reach level A to access the files related to his parents' deaths.

That event affected millions of people, caused hundreds of thousands of deaths, and saw countless containment specialists rush to their deaths like moths to a flame.

But those are things for later. Right now, his main goal is to absorb the second strange creature.

Just then, Jiang Cheng's phone rang; it was Jiang calling.

Jiang Cheng answered: "Hello, Jiang?"

"Jiang Cheng, do you have time now?" came the voice from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"There's a spontaneous combustion incident in the neighborhood that needs your investigation. It's tentatively designated as Level C. We suspect this incident might be related to something supernatural, so we're assigning you to handle it."

"Of course, if you feel you're not ready yet, you can wait a while longer..."

Before Jiang could finish speaking, Jiang Cheng interrupted, "No need, Jiang, just tell me the location and information about this incident."

"it is good."

Jiang then reported the complete details of the incident to Jiang Cheng.

Multiple spontaneous combustion incidents occurred in Building 2 of Xingfu Residential Area, killing all residents and resulting in three deaths and fourteen injuries. The cause of the incident is under investigation.

The community has now been completely sealed off, especially Building 2, where all the residents have been moved out.

Legends about this neighborhood being haunted are circulating everywhere...

……

Within the Happiness Community—

Jiang Cheng looked at the cordon tape, the police officers waiting at the entrance, and most of the crowd.

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and showed his identification.

"You must be the paranormal expert who came specifically to solve this case! Please! Please!"

A police officer greeted Jiang Cheng warmly and then set up a cordon.

"Where should we start our investigation?"

According to headquarters, the incident was likely caused by some kind of supernatural phenomenon, meaning that the ghost was probably a spontaneously combusting ghost.

Jiang Cheng decided to start the investigation with the victims.

Jiang Cheng first located the victim's family members and then began questioning them.

The first victim's family consisted of three people; all the adults had been burned to death, leaving only the child.

Fortunately, the child is twelve years old and speaks with relatively clear logic.

"So you mean your parents spontaneously combusted?"

Jiang Cheng squatted down and looked at the little boy in front of him. He spoke with a firm expression, his fists clenched as he spoke, his whole body trembling slightly, whether from fear or anger, it was hard to tell.

"Yes! I'm sure, big brother!"

"It must be caused by some kind of demon! Otherwise! Otherwise! Otherwise, how could my parents have spontaneously combusted?!"

"Waaaaah!"

The little boy became more and more agitated as he spoke, and soon he started crying, and the crying grew louder and louder.

"Alright, alright, I understand what happened. Don't cry. Your brother will avenge your parents."

Police officers soon came over to comfort the little boy, and they sat around him and talked to him.

"Ugh!"

Jiang Cheng turned around and sighed.

The little boy's words didn't seem like a lie, which meant that headquarters' guess was correct, and the incident might indeed have been caused by something supernatural.

His ability to see ghosts was perfect for this incident, making him the only one who could solve it.

"Spontaneous combustion?"

"Can things spontaneously combust in broad daylight?"

Jiang Cheng stroked his chin and began to ponder.

Jiang Cheng quickly frowned.

He began visiting the family of the second victim.

"A ghost! It must be a ghost!"

"It must be a ghost!"

The victim's family consisted of five members; apart from the woman, all the elderly and children perished in the fire.

So her mental state was somewhat deranged; she looked completely out of it, as if she had gone mad, or rather, she seemed to have already gone mad, constantly muttering something to herself.

"Please don't rush, speak calmly, at least tell me what happened."

Jiang Cheng comforted her.

"What process? There was no process!"

"My child, everything I have, my family, all burned to death by that madwoman! All burned to death by that madwoman!"

The woman became increasingly agitated as she spoke, her eyes turning bloodshot, as if she were about to go berserk at any moment.

"That crazy woman! That crazy woman!!"

"Please don't get agitated, tell me what's going on slowly!" Jiang Cheng quickly advised.

"It's all her fault! It's all her fault!"

The woman became more and more excited as she spoke, and she just couldn't stop.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng had no choice but to settle for second best.

It seems we won't get any useful information from her. This woman has gone mad. Let's move on to the next victim.

So Jiang Cheng went to the family of the third victim.

Upon arriving at the victim's home, one sees the victims constantly repenting. They are kneeling on prayer cushions, with a large Buddha statue above them, and Guan Yu and Erlang Shen beside them.

"Forehead……"

"The letters are quite varied."

This family consisted of four people, including two children. The one who died was the youngest child.

The parents of the family were seen repeatedly repenting with their hands clasped together and their eyes tightly closed. They ignored any outsiders who came.

It was the only child in the family who opened the door for Jiang Cheng.

What are you doing at our house?

"That's what the child, who looks only nine years old, asked."

"I'm here to investigate this spontaneous combustion incident. Little friend, can you tell me what your parents are doing?"

Jiang Cheng knelt down and stroked the boy's head as she asked.

"You mean them? They're praying to Buddha. Ever since that incident, my parents have been acting strangely. See for yourself, big brother."

Jiang Cheng looked at the two people, who were kneeling there with their brows furrowed, looking uneasy.

"Could it be...?"

Based on the previous woman's behavior, Jiang Cheng already had a guess in his mind, or rather, he already had a clue about this matter.

"Little friend, how long have your parents been like this?"

"They've been like this ever since that incident, for dozens of days now. They don't even cook. I'm eating instant noodles every day now."

"They ignored me when I called them, and just kept saying that this was the only way to get her forgiveness."

Jiang Cheng frowned, seemingly one step closer to the truth of the matter.

"I can't believe they've maintained this stance for so long, haha!"

Jiang Cheng had a general idea in mind, and stood up to observe the room.

The room was filled with all sorts of "divine objects," including Buddhist prayer beads, a fly whisk, and even a cross.

You can tell the owner of this house is really scared! What are they scared of? Ghosts.

"Why? Hehe."

"If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear."

After saying this, Jiang Cheng left. Before leaving, he glanced at the child who was looking at him.

Finally, he turned back, gave the child a hundred yuan, sighed, and left the room.

"So now that the objective is clear, it's time to investigate the most important link."

"The killer who caused spontaneous combustion, and the identity of the victim."
