Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

The cold wind blew into the room through the cracks in the window, making one's limbs feel icy cold.

The live stream room had been completely overwhelmed, filled with shock, anger, and dismay, with a dense barrage of comments flooding the screen.

[This is outrageous! A couple married for twenty years, killed and dismembered just because of everyday nagging?!]

"It's chilling to think about! For a whole month, he pretended to be filial and comfort his in-laws every day, while secretly committing such a bloody crime!"

[His acting skills are phenomenal! Everyone was completely fooled, except for the streamer who saw through the deception!]

Poor Aunt Mei, how desperate she must have been before she died...

The two elderly people suffered terribly; they outlived their child, and were kept in the dark by the murderer while being cared for for a whole month!

Chen Wei's face was icy cold, his eyes extremely sharp. He immediately raised his hand, signaling his team members to step forward:

"Immediately apprehend the suspect! Bring him back to the police station for a surprise interrogation overnight! In conjunction with sanitation and water departments, conduct a comprehensive search of rivers and sewage pipes, and make every effort to find the victim's remains!"

Several police officers immediately stepped forward, tightly gripped the emotionally deranged Zhang Tong, and the cold handcuffs snapped onto his wrists.

Thus, this horrific case of murder and dismemberment of a wife, which was concealed and disguised as a missing person case, was completely solved in front of tens of thousands of viewers across the internet.

Meanwhile, Shen Jingshu on the other side of the screen watched the end of the evil unfold quietly, her eyes calm and undisturbed.

The good and evil in people's hearts, the cycle of cause and effect, can never escape the clear judgment of Heaven.

The accumulated merits quietly settled, gently nourishing her overall fortune.

The room was in chaos and noise, with Zhang Tong's frantic screams, the old man's broken cries, and the police officers' shouts all mixed together.

It's unclear who accidentally triggered it, but the phone camera, which was still connected, shook violently, the screen suddenly went black, and the live stream was abruptly interrupted.

However, the barrage of comments in the live stream room still failed to subside for a long time.

[My God, I can't process this! My partner of twenty years, just because of everyday nagging, murdered and dismembered me!]

[You can never truly know a person's heart just by looking at their face. Zhang Tong looks so honest and kind, who would have thought he was such an extreme devil!]

[His mental fortitude is terrifying; after murdering and dismembering his wife, he calmly pretended for a month, deceiving his in-laws and acting out filial piety every day!]

Thank goodness there was a news anchor! Otherwise, this case would have been treated as a regular missing person case forever, and Aunt Xiaomei would have been wronged for life!

The screen was filled with sighs and lingering fear, and hundreds of thousands of viewers were completely shocked and shaken by this murder case with its extreme reversal.

Shen Jingshu waited for the comments to subside slightly, her expression remaining calm and composed, unaffected by the horrific details of the case.

She spoke softly, her voice coming steadily through the receiver: "The first divination concludes the cause and effect; good and evil will ultimately be rewarded. Next, we will draw the second lucky viewer who can apply to connect and ask a question."

As soon as he finished speaking, the live stream chat instantly became lively again.

The lucky bag draw was completed automatically, and within seconds, the second lucky user successfully connected and applied.

The screen switched and the call connected, revealing a professional woman in her thirties on the other end of the line.

She wore a sharp, tailored black suit, her long hair neatly styled in a bun, her makeup exquisite and sophisticated, exuding a composed and confident aura. The backdrop was a luxuriously decorated and brightly lit hotel lobby, with shimmering crystal chandeliers and high-end, orderly furnishings—clearly a high-end star-rated hotel.

"Hello, host." The woman nodded politely to the camera, her tone revealing undisguised nervousness and anxiety.

"Hello, what would you like to have predicted?" Shen Jingshu asked gently.

The woman took a deep breath and said directly, "Answerer, I am the lobby manager of this hotel. I would like to ask you to help me see if our hotel is really haunted."

These words immediately sparked a new wave of curiosity and heated discussion in the live stream.

[Haunted Hotel? Classic Supernatural Theme Returns!]

No wonder the background looks so luxurious; star-rated hotels are most prone to attracting evil spirits and strange occurrences!

Tell me quickly, what happened?

Shen Jingshu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Tell me in detail, explain the whole story from beginning to end."

The lobby manager, named Xiao Gao, looked exhausted and solemn as he slowly recounted the strange and bizarre events that had been piling up for half a month.

"It all started about two weeks ago."

"Initially, only a few guests contacted our front desk to complain after checking out, saying that after staying one night, they had inexplicable itching all over their bodies and large, dense red rashes that were both itchy and stinging."

"The guests insisted that our hotel's hygiene was substandard, the bedding was not clean, and it was breeding mites and bacteria. They made a scene at the front desk demanding compensation and even threatened to expose the complaint and force the hotel to close for rectification."

Xiao Gao said helplessly, "At the time, I also thought that the cleaning staff were being lazy and not cleaning properly, which caused the guest's skin allergy. In order to appease the customer, we not only waived the room fee in full, but also took the initiative to pay the medical expenses and compensation, and sincerely apologized."

"After this incident, I immediately tightened the hotel's hygiene control, held a meeting with all staff to rectify the situation, and strictly inspected the disinfection of bedding, floor cleaning, and bathroom disinfection in every guest room. We conducted inspections three times a day and did not allow any hygiene oversights."

"But strangely enough, instead of stopping, the situation only got worse."

After strict sanitation rectification was implemented, the strange occurrences did not subside; instead, they became even more bizarre and terrifying.

The first room to have a problem was room 806.

For several nights in a row, the guests were awakened in the middle of the night by a faint, mournful cry of a woman. The cry was eerie and piercing, sending chills down their spines and making their scalps tingle. The guests were so frightened that they dared not close their eyes all night, and at dawn they checked out in panic and insisted on changing rooms. No one dared to stay for even a second longer.

At first, the hotel thought it was just a few guests acting strangely, but then four or five groups of guests encountered the exact same strange incident, with identical accounts. Rumors gradually spread among the hotel staff, and everyone knew that room 806 was unclean and haunted.

Unable to contain the situation, Xiao Gao had no choice but to report the truth to his boss.

Under pressure, the hotel had no choice but to temporarily close room 806 and stop selling rooms for guests.

For the first few days after the rooms were locked up, the eighth floor was indeed much quieter, and no guests reported any strange occurrences.

But no one expected that the real terror was only just beginning.

In just a few days, the woman's crying was no longer limited to room 806; guests in all the rooms on the entire eighth floor could hear the crying.

No matter if you stay in room 801, 808, or the suite at the very end, that mournful and chilling cry will always ring out at midnight, lingering in the corridors, by the windows, and in the corners of the rooms, impossible to shake off.

One room can be sealed off, but an entire floor simply cannot be sealed off.

Once the news of the hotel being haunted spreads, its reputation will be completely ruined, customers will be lost, and its word-of-mouth will be destroyed, paralyzing the entire hotel's business.

As Xiao Gao spoke, his face was filled with anxiety and helplessness, and his eyes looked fearfully at Shen Jingshu in the camera.

Shen Jingshu's gaze was calm as she spoke softly, "You're at the hotel right now, aren't you? Take the camera and go to the eighth floor. I want to check on the situation there."

Xiao Gao froze instantly, her voice trembling: "Now...now? Announcer...I'm really scared."

"No one in the hotel dares to set foot on the eighth floor at night. Even the cleaning staff only dare to go up in groups during the day to tidy up quickly. Once it gets dark, the whole floor is deathly quiet and gloomy, without a trace of human presence."

The darkest hour of the night is when the yin energy is at its strongest.

Shen Jingshu reassured her calmly, "It's alright, don't be afraid, I'll know the root of the problem with just one glance."

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Gao finally gritted his teeth and nodded reluctantly, "Okay, alright, I'll take you up."

She gripped her phone tightly, held up the camera, walked to the hotel elevator, and pressed the button for the eighth floor.

The elevator slowly ascended, the enclosed cabin eerily quiet. Xiao Gao deliberately avoided any locations displaying the hotel's name, landmarks, or logo, remaining cautious throughout and revealing no trace of the hotel's privacy.

"bite--"
