Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

Chapter 106 Blood Corpse

The two waited in the downpour for about fifteen minutes before the criminal investigation team arrived at the scene.

Forensic experts and criminal police officers conducted a methodical investigation of the scene.

Shen Nian saw the horrific state of the corpse.

Almost all of her flesh had been peeled off by human hands, and the entire corpse was covered in blood.

Shen Nian thought to herself, "No wonder her clothes are all blood-red."

The body was taken back to the police station, and Shen Nian and Gu Qiwen were taken back to the police station to give statements.

While the police were verifying the identity of the body and comparing it with the gene database, Shen Nian said, "No need, the deceased's family is already on their way."

"But how did you know..."

The criminal investigation team in Lincheng handled this case, and the captain was named Ye Hui.

He asked, "How do you know there's a body buried there, and how do you know who her family is?"

Shen Nian lowered her eyes and said calmly, "I saw the soul of the deceased."

Ye Hui was taken aback.

"You mean, these are all things the ghosts of the dead told you?"

"no."

"I calculated it myself."

After seeing the totem branded on the back of the corpse, Shen Nian finally understood why she had connected the night driver and a little girl who was not even ten years old.

I also realized why I was so restless tonight.

Ye Hui and his colleagues looked at each other for a while, unsure how to accept this answer.

They checked Shen Nian's live stream records, saw the red-clad passenger picked up by the night bus driver, and heard what the seven-year-old child said in the live stream.

They also checked the dashcam footage uploaded to the unified platform by the taxi involved in the incident, as well as the footage from the intersection's cameras. Strangely, neither the dashcam nor the intersection's cameras recorded the woman's image.

The driver seemed to be talking to himself, discussing prices with someone who didn't exist.

Only in Shen Nian's live stream could one catch a glimpse of the red figure.

Ye Hui: "So you knew her mother was dead and found the location where the body was disposed of just based on what a seven-year-old girl said?"

Shen Nian replied somewhat impatiently, "I already said, I figured it out myself."

Outside the police station, the wind and rain continued to pour.

A man with blond hair got off his motorcycle, rushed into the police station, and shouted, "Where is my sister?"

Ye Hui stood up: "Sir, please calm down. We need to compare DNA to determine whether she is your sister or not."

The blond-haired man looked at a tiny photo in despair: "This is my sister! How could I not recognize her? Can you let me see her?"

Let's go back two hours.

When Huang Mao saw his sister appear out of nowhere, he didn't even bother to pick up his phone, which had fallen to the ground.

He tried to reach out and grab his sister's hand, but found that his hand passed right through her palm.

She was like air, impossible to grasp or hold onto. If it weren't for Shen Nian, he might still not be able to see her now.

Is this a ghost?

He didn't find it particularly scary, he just felt helpless.

Why did her sister turn out like this?

Why can't he even hug his sister?

He really wanted to ask her why she was like this, why she had become like this.

Didn't she go off to enjoy a life of luxury?

Why did they die?

However, her sister just looked at him quietly and shook her head.

She couldn't say.

She has returned only to see her loved ones one last time, and not to drag them into those... terrible things.

Her figure slowly disappeared.

He didn't know if it was because the streamer's spell had failed, or because she had left again.

Until my little niece cried and said, "Mommy might not be so sure."

Only then did he realize that his sister had left.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he received a call from an unknown number.

"The Criminal Investigation Division of the Lincheng City Public Security Bureau has found your sister's body."

The voice belongs to that female anchor.

He asked his neighbors to help settle his niece and mother, then rode his motorcycle and rushed to the Municipal Public Security Bureau in the pouring rain.

When Huang Mao saw Shen Nian, it was as if he had seen a Bodhisattva who could save him from suffering. He rushed over, grabbed her hand, and pleaded, "I want to see my sister again. Can you let me see her again?"

"Do you even know how she died? Can you calculate it? I'll give you whatever money you want, okay?"

Shen Nian sighed.

"Get up first, I don't know how she died."

"The police are already investigating. Go and get your DNA compared with your sister's. Once the investigation is over, you can take her home."

This case hasn't been linked to any demons or monsters, except for the brand. Shen Nian also has no evidence to suggest that this matter is related to anyone from the Xuanmen sect.

Furthermore, even if there is a real connection, unless the situation becomes serious enough, it will be handled by the criminal investigation department.

Special management departments handle special cases in a special way and do not interfere excessively with normal social order.

By the time the woman's brother had calmed down and the DNA comparison was completed, it was already very late.

Considering that he has elderly people and children at home, the criminal investigation team advised him to go home first, and that they would notify him as soon as there was any progress.

Shen Nian asked to see the corpse.

"The forensic doctor can stay with me; it won't take more than five minutes."

After considering it for a moment, Ye Hui agreed to her request.

Shen Nian saw the blood-soaked corpse again.

She pointed to the totem on the back of the corpse's neck: "May I take a picture of this?"

"I may have seen similar patterns before, I need to compare them, but I won't post them online."

Ye Hui said, "If Miss Shen discovers any new clues, please remember to notify us immediately."

"Yes."

Shen Nian nodded.

The pattern was bizarre and complex, the main element of which seemed to be an open eye, surrounded by strange patterns.

The pattern resembled the sun as a whole, yet it also exuded an eerie and ominous feeling.

Shen Nian took one last look at the corpse, then turned and left the autopsy room.

The body was covered with a white sheet again.

Gu Qiwen held up an umbrella and opened the car door for Shen Nian.

In the car, Shen Nian handed the picture to Gu Qiwen: "Help me look up this picture, anywhere and any time. I need to know where else it has appeared."

This world is too big.

Even if this picture has appeared, it would be very difficult to find it in the vast sea of people.

However, at the same time, the rapid development of internet technology in this era means that everything leaves its mark on the internet.

As long as there is a trace, even just a photograph, you can find related clues.

Coincidentally, one of the Gu family's main industries is the Internet.

Shen Nian responded and then sent a message to Hu Die.

"Could you check this image for me? Has this image ever appeared in the records of the Xuanmen Guild?"

Hu Die replied with "Okay".

Shen Nian pressed her temples, about to say something, when suddenly a flash of blood appeared in the corner of her eye.

She reached out and hooked the female ghost's soul.

"I thought you had gone to be reincarnated."

Shen Nian said calmly.
