A dating guide turned into being surrounded by female ghosts?

Lin Yue was stunned for a moment.

"Qin Ziwang's mother is also dead?"

"It should be... anyway, that's what the police think. After all, the body was cut like that, the arteries were definitely damaged. In this situation, even if you rush him to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately, it might not be enough to save him." The caregiver, Old Xu, shook his head.

"Then why should it be called that?" Lin Yue asked.

"Because Qin Ziwang's mother, just like the internal organs of the previous victims, also mysteriously disappeared. Apart from leaving behind body fragments, the main parts, including the head and torso, were completely gone!" Old Xu said.

"The police suspect that Qin Ziwang's father must have mastered some special method of disposing of corpses, or that he had some unknown burial site, which is why the body parts of the victims, including Qin's mother, could not be found."

"And because the most important person in the know, Qin's father, committed suicide out of fear of punishment, these things have become an eternal mystery."

"Of course, except for one person..."

Lin Yue whispered, "Qin Ziwang himself?"

"Yes, but you saw Qin Ziwang's mouth too, didn't you?"

Lin Yue nodded and said, "Yes, his tongue was cut off."

That bland appearance.

Old Xu was taken aback, but then he understood.

The person in front of me is a reporter, so it's normal that he has a high tolerance for these things.

He quickly continued, "That's right, his tongue was cut off, and it was his parents who did it themselves. Although the reason is unknown, the police believed that he was also one of the victims because of this. In addition, he was very young, not to mention a minor, he was not even ten years old when the incident occurred, and he also had a strange disease..."

Lin Yue suddenly interrupted, "Wait? A strange illness?"

"Yes, it's a strange disease. Qin Ziwang didn't look like this before. He was handsome and looked like any other little boy. He didn't look so scary now. He was born with an unknown strange disease, which caused him to slowly turn into that deformed appearance and was sent here for treatment," Old Xu said matter-of-factly.

The scene of that second ghost eyeball squeezing out of Qin Ziwang's eye socket was still vivid in Lin Yue's mind.

Could it be because of the torment from that ghost?

How did Qin Ziwang become like that?

But who is this ghost?

Qin's father, Qin's mother, or those victims?

As Lin Yue listened, she pondered deeply in her mind.

"In short, due to Qin Ziwang's special circumstances, it was procedurally impossible to interrogate him, and both suspects were dead, so the case was abruptly ended there. As for the issues I just mentioned, nobody knows what happened, and nobody bothers to investigate them," Old Xu summarized.

Lin Yue also thought that was the end of the story.

But after a while...

Old Xu suddenly added, "However, having been in contact with that freak for so long, I do know a little bit about Qin Ziwang himself."

Lin Yue urged him to speak quickly.

Old Xu didn't keep us in suspense.

He swallowed hard, then leaned even closer, lowering his voice further, and said, "Qin Ziwang is definitely not the pitiful victim the police think he is. He's a complete monster, a freak!"

"This kid was very likely watching his parents commit murder the whole time! Absolutely! I could tell just by looking at his eyes!"

Lin Yue's eyes flickered slightly. "Why?"

"When he first arrived, he wasn't even locked up in the quarantine area yet. We discussed the case back then, and one time, by accident, this kid overheard us." Old Xu's eyes widened, looking just like lanterns.

"What would a normal child do at this time? Feel ashamed? Scared? Helpless?"

"But Qin Ziwang is not one of them!"

"I still remember that day vividly. We were hiding in a corner talking, but that kid was grinning from ear to ear, so happy, his mouth was practically stretched past his cheeks!"

"Even though he was facing the wall and into the shadows, I still saw him."

He actually laughed!

"He was already scary-looking, but when he smiled, he was even more terrifying than a ghost."

"In the sweltering heat of July, even wearing short sleeves, you'd still be sweating non-stop. I, a grown man, couldn't help but shiver."

Old Xu became more and more serious as he spoke.

"What does this mean? It means that he didn't have any negative emotions about what happened back then, no remorse, no fear, and even... a faint expectation that it would happen again."

"There's not a single normal person in this family."

At this point, Lao Xu had revealed everything he knew.

Lin Yue made a mental summary.

This "817 murder case" has quite a few perplexing aspects.

Because of the deaths and disappearances of relevant personnel.

Therefore, many things are left unsaid.

The motive for the crime is unknown, the murder weapon has disappeared, fragments of the victim's body are missing, Qin's mother is missing, and the reason why Qin Ziwang's tongue was cut out is also unknown...

The entire case was shrouded in mystery.

Even the police officers in charge of the case were at a loss.

However, after going through all these things in her mind, what Lin Yue cared about most was...

It's still about Qin's mother's disappearance.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

This is the simplest of truths.

Of course, with Qin's mother's body cut into pieces, she shouldn't have survived under normal circumstances.

However, if we really follow "common sense," there shouldn't be such a thing as ghosts in this world.

The disappearance of Qin's mother implies three possibilities.

First, she really died, and died silently.

Secondly, she also died, but turned into some kind of strange thing, like the extra ghost eyeball on Qin Ziwang's body.

Thirdly...

Lin Yue was silent for a moment, then murmured, "Is it possible that Qin Ziwang's mother is actually not dead?"

Old Xu took out his phone, and his smile froze when he saw his wages.

He chuckled dryly, "Boss, don't scare me like that. If Qin's mother isn't dead, then she..."

Where else could it appear?

Inside this center, beside the son?

Is a deranged serial killer lurking nearby?

This joke is not funny at all.

Lin Yue didn't explain much, just asked about Qin Ziwang's home address, and then said goodbye to Lao Xu.

Old Xu stayed where he was, looking towards the quarantine area where Qin Ziwang was being held.

Suddenly, he shuddered and quickly fled the spot.

Lin Yue then went to the person in charge of the center's volunteers and said that she suddenly had an urgent matter to attend to and had to resign from the remaining volunteer activities.

The person in charge was naturally very disappointed and strongly expressed their hope that he could come and participate in the event again.

Lin Yue smiled politely and said, "Yes, I will definitely come again if I have the chance."
