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

"What should I do, streamer? I have to deliver takeout to this thing tonight, I don't know if it's human or ghost. Am I going to die? Is it targeting me?"

"Is it going to eat me?"

Shen Nian: "...It shouldn't be."

"Judging from your appearance, you are not destined for bloodshed and should be fine."

"So, should I deliver this takeout or not?"

Strangely, when he said "I won't see you off," a flash of blood suddenly appeared on his face.

Shen Nian said, "I'll send it. If I don't, something bad will happen to you."

The delivery guy grimaced, "Ugh, why is this happening? Does it mean if I don't deliver food, ghosts will come and eat me when they get hungry?"

That ghost is actually quite humane.

"Yeah, so they stop eating people once they're full?"

"Hey buddy, just give in."

[Hahaha, keep it up, bro! We're cheering you on!]

Yes, the host and we are all here for you!

Go for it!!!

The delivery driver could only ride his electric scooter, tears welling up in his eyes, all the way to the noodle shop to pick up the food from the owner.

Before leaving, the boss called him back: "Didn't I already tell you... about that girl..."

The deliveryman scratched his head, too embarrassed to admit that he had consulted a master who insisted on delivering the package, so he just laughed and said, "Boss, have you been watching too much superstitious stuff? Hurry up, or I'll dock your pay if you're late."

Upon hearing this, the noodle shop owner had no choice but to hand him the ramen.

Shen Nian caught a glimpse of the boss's face in the fleeting shot and raised an eyebrow.

interesting.

The delivery guy put the ramen into the delivery box, humming a little tune to bolster his courage, and ran towards the address on the delivery order.

When he got to the apartment building, the guy glanced at Shen Nian on his phone again: "Host, are you sure I'll be alright?"

Shen Nian said, "Don't go up yet, the police won't be here for another five minutes."

The deliveryman was startled, wondering why Shen Nian had suddenly called the police.

However, he decided to obey Shen Nian unconditionally.

Five minutes later, several plainclothes police officers arrived at the scene.

Following their instructions, the deliveryman carried the food up to the third floor by himself.

The takeout order noted that I should not knock on the door or call.

The deliveryman did as instructed, placed the food at the door, and turned to leave as usual.

About ten minutes later, the door was pushed open a crack.

A man's arm reached out, ready to carry the takeout inside.

The police officers, who had been lying in wait, immediately sprang into action, kicked open the door, and subdued the man.

The guy hiding in the shadows was dumbfounded when he saw the man being escorted out by the police.

This is not...

Is he the noodle shop owner's son?

The delivery driver recognized his face in a family photo of the restaurant owner and his family that was posted on the wall.

Why is the noodle shop owner's son hiding in the house of the little girl who died tragically?

If he wants to eat his own food, why doesn't he just go home and eat it? Why go through all this trouble to order takeout from his own home?

As he was thinking, Shen Nian's voice suddenly came from the phone.

"Because the murderer was his son."

Shen Nian said calmly, "That girl is young and pretty, and she has no family. She often goes to that noodle shop to eat, but it's just because she's used to it."

"The noodle shop owner's son fell for her, but when his advances were rejected, he killed her in a fit of rage."

"You were probably picking up takeout nearby the day she was murdered. The noodle shop owner suspects you witnessed your son committing the crime, but he can't be sure—"

"He let his son hide in that little girl's house, and then asked you to deliver food to his son."

"If they find anything suspicious about you, you'll probably be the next one to be murdered to silence you."

Wait a minute, how dare this murderer hide in the victim's house? Shouldn't the police be watching it day and night?

Shen Nian said, "Because this house is only registered under the girl's name, but it's not the scene of the murder. If I'm not mistaken, the girl is currently just missing, since the police haven't found a body or any murder scene. So, would the police keep a round-the-clock watch on a missing girl's house? Probably not, right?"

After all, she's just missing, not dead.

At least that's how the police see it.

The delivery guy suddenly realized, "So, as soon as the noodle shop owner said the girl was dead, the master discovered the problem?"

"right."

Shen Nian said, "The police will definitely report cases like this that result in death, but while you were speaking, I checked all the local reports and didn't find any cases of young girls dying during this period."

"Besides, if it really existed, it would have been on the front page of the news long ago. You wouldn't need anyone to remind you; you would definitely know anyway."

"So how did the noodle shop owner know the girl was dead? The official conclusion is just 'missing'."

Shen Nian said, "Given his unusual appearance, I deduced that he might be the murderer or an accomplice."

The young man then asked, "So how exactly did they dispose of the body? In this heat..."

Shen Nian: "Um... are you sure you want to listen?"

【Master, please tell me!】

Yes, if the police haven't found the body, then where is it?

Shen Nian said, "If I'm not mistaken, the body should be in the noodle shop's kitchen. Check the spine inside; it should be human bones."

【…】

【vomit--】

Holy crap, I just ordered takeout from this noodle shop yesterday!

【vomit--】

[Ugh, ugh, ugh—]

I can't take it anymore, I need to throw up everything I ate yesterday...

"I noticed this noodle shop also sells steamed buns, so maybe the filling is..."

The delivery guy, pale-faced, said, "Master, please stop talking, I feel like vomiting."

People in the live stream chat were also sending vomiting emojis.

Is this the real-life version of a human flesh bun...?

I can't take it anymore, it's disgusting. Thank goodness I never eat steamed buns from outside...

Friend, have you ever heard of a two-legged sheep?

[Oh my god, I wonder what the psychological trauma is for anyone who ate this takeout.]

A week was enough time for him to dismember the body, chop it up, and sell it...

Oh my god...

[That's terrifying, holy crap!]

Check the water meter again to see if there's a problem with the water usage.

Why did this boss do this? If he had just stayed hidden, the girl would probably have charged him with disappearance and insisted on seeing if this guy was a witness.

If this guy were a witness, he would have called the police already.

[Yes, his son is hiding in the house of a dead person. If you don't tell and I don't tell, who will know?]

Shen Nian glanced at it and said calmly, "Perhaps the girl died in great pain and did not want her death to be buried like this."

Sometimes what the boss says may not be what he actually wants to say.

It could also be the girl's spirit, using his voice to try and remind others of something.

That makes sense.

Even if I die under mysterious circumstances, I'll find a way to let people know I'm dead.

At least, someone should collect my body, instead of me lying in a pot of boiling water, dying with my eyes wide open in dismay.
