Ye Zimo picked up her phone, smelled the scent on it, and closed her eyes.
She is releasing her spiritual power, spreading outwards from her as the center, covering a radius of ten miles, a hundred miles, a thousand miles, until it covers the entire city of Wei.
Although Lin Mo couldn't see it, he could feel the energy fluctuations; it was as if there was an impacting air pressure in the air.
Lin Mo swallowed hard. The Bloodsucker was helping him by actively seeking out Wang Xuanxuan.
I had tried many other methods before, such as divination and asking for help through my contacts.
But their efficiency is clearly not as high as Ye Zimo's.
She's still a vampire heiress!
"found it."
Ye Zimo opened her eyes.
Lin Mo looked at her with surprise: "It only took 2 minutes."
Ye Zimo frowned slightly: "Your request might... fall through."
"Huh? Why?"
Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly understood what Ye Zimo meant.
The person has been found, but the commission cannot be completed. There is only one reason: the person has already been found by the police.
"Okay, the police have found them, that's a good thing."
Lin Mo said that although he was happy to have extra income, his real intention was to help Wang Chui find his sister. He would refund the money as long as Wang Xuanxuan was found.
"Yes, the police have found her body."
Ye Zimo said calmly.
Lin Mo was stunned and suddenly wanted to take back what he had just said.
It took him a long time to come to his senses.
Ye Zimo realized that Lin Mo seemed to be in a bad mood, and it looked like today's date, like the commission, was going to be canceled.
Was it an accident?
Lin Mo suddenly asked.
Ye Zimo shook her head slightly: "I only sensed her location and the people around her. They were too far away, and I didn't see the body, so I can't determine the cause of her death."
"Let's go take a look."
Lin Mo said seriously, "Since I've accepted 1000 yuan, I still have to do what I'm supposed to do, even if I have to return the money."
Chapter 152 An Unconventional Date
Lin Mo looked at Ye Zimo's figure. Although it wasn't a traditional date involving eating, shopping, or watching a movie, they were still doing things together, which could be considered a different kind of date.
He tried to comfort himself with these words, but he couldn't use them to appease Ye Zimo. His eyes held a hint of apology.
Afterwards, Lin Mo obtained the specific location from Ye Zimo, and the two used the Spirit Realm Teleportation to reach the upper reaches of the Tianhe River in the south of Weicheng.
"It's this river again."
Lin Mo frowned slightly, feeling something was amiss, because Cola's father had also been found here.
At this time, the police had already cordoned off the area, and no unauthorized personnel were allowed to enter.
They had just recovered Wang Xuanxuan's body and were unable to confirm her identity, so they had not yet called Wang Chui's family.
Outside the cordon, many passersby looked curiously into the cordon area.
Lin Mo and Ye Zimo were also standing in the crowd.
"This is the second person already."
Lin Mo said in a low voice.
Ye Zimo shook her head. "According to the order of death, Wang Xuanxuan should still be ranked higher."
"Let's wait for the police autopsy results."
Lin Mo couldn't directly touch the body, but could see it through his superhuman vision. The body was quickly put into a body bag by the police, placed on a stretcher, and carried towards them.
Furthermore, even if the body were given to him, he wasn't a medical professional and hadn't studied anatomy, so he wouldn't be able to draw accurate conclusions.
This is a serious flaw in terms of professional skills.
As Lin Mo pondered this, he felt a little heavy-hearted, but even more so, a sense of helplessness and disappointment.
Unfortunately, the contract with the Time Demon has been broken, otherwise, he could have traveled back in time to see what exactly happened to Wang Xuanxuan.
"Judging from the extent of the body's swelling and decomposition, it appears to have been dead for four days. The cause of death was drowning. There were no external injuries, only some twisting of the limbs, which was likely caused by struggling underwater."
Ye Zimo said calmly.
"From this distance? In such a short time, how did you discern so much?"
Lin Mo asked curiously.
Ye Zimo nodded slightly. "Smell carefully, she has a special scent."
As the police carried the person past Lin Mo, Lin Mo smelled this odor, which was a subtle scent besides the smell of decay, somewhat similar to the fragrance of flowers.
The police loaded the body into their patrol van and left the crowd amidst the sound of sirens.
Lin Mo frowned: "Did you wear perfume before you died?"
Ye Zimo did not answer: "I feel that the two things are somehow related."
"Go back and see if Xiaoju has any clues."
Lin Mo was very concerned about this matter, after all, two people had already died in Tianhe. Although they seemed to have no connection, the location was the same and the cause of death was drowning.
The two returned to Qingtu residential area.
After a busy morning, Xiaoju has already compiled a lot of information.
"Young Miss, our benefactor, you're back! Weren't you on a date?"
Xiaoju looked at the two of them.
Ye Zimo slowly walked to the sofa, sat down, and picked up a cup of coffee from the table.
Lin Mo briefly described what happened that morning, and Xiao Ju nodded in understanding. After such a disappointing incident, she really wasn't in the mood for a date.
She handed the documents to Ye Zimo: "Miss, I went to Kele's house this morning to inquire about his father. The investigation revealed that he has no enemies and is just an honest office worker who has not offended any leaders or colleagues at the company."
Although their family's financial situation wasn't great, Wei Tongxin was a very honest person. He disliked borrowing money and had never lent money to anyone. He didn't even have a credit card. They lived in an old house with no mortgage and no debt crisis, which ruled out a revenge killing.
“A popular internet celebrity who was live-streaming late at night happened to be checking in at Tianhe. He filmed Wei Tongxin walking alone towards Tianhe in the middle of the night. There was no one else with him. The video of this internet celebrity was also uploaded to the Internet around 11 o'clock, which proves that Wei Tongxin was still alive at 11 o'clock last night.”
Xiaoju reported her investigation results, and Ye Zimo handed the data to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo glanced at it: "So, the preliminary determination is that his time of death was between 11 o'clock and 8 o'clock this morning."
Xiaoju drank a glass of water and continued, "When I was searching for information online, I came across an interesting post."
Xiaoju pointed to the last printed document, which was a forum post.
This is a post titled "The Curse of Tianhe: No one in Weicheng is innocent."
"As the mother river of Weicheng, Tianhe has selflessly nurtured generations of people in Weicheng. Decades ago, the water of Tianhe was crystal clear, and there were fish, shrimp and crabs in the river. At that time, people used the water of Tianhe to irrigate farmland, wash clothes and cook.
Decades later, the construction of numerous chemical plants and the discharge of various sewage and domestic waste turned Tianhe into a stinking ditch.
Everyone turns a blind eye to this; humanity has completely abandoned the ecology of the Milky Way in pursuit of economic development…
The first half of the post was a reflection on the pollution of Tianhe River, which was relatively normal and resembled a post calling on people to awaken their environmental awareness. However, the second half went against the current worldview and values.
The second half tells the story of the river god of the Milky Way becoming angry and wanting to punish everyone, requiring human sacrifices.
Then, a list was compiled of people who committed suicide in Tianhe recently.
They believed they were all chosen as sacrificial offerings by the river god.
This includes the case of Wei Tongxin, who is believed to have committed suicide.
Before Wei Tongxin, there were five other cases that, starting from the beginning of this year, were all concluded by the authorities as suicides.
Among these people are college students, ordinary workers, housewives, and rebellious teenagers.
Therefore, the person who posted the message believed that the River God's choice was random, and anyone could be involved.
"This post was deleted less than 3 minutes after it was published. It was just a repost. The original article came from a website called 'Curse of the Milky Way,' which has 10 visitors and is still growing."
Xiaoju said earnestly, "The posts are constantly being updated."
Lin Mo opened the forum as Xiao Ju instructed. It was an encrypted forum that could not be found by ordinary search engines and could only be accessed by using a VPN.
The website has received over three million page views and has over 10 users online at any given time.
These people are still refreshing the comments section.
Is the River God of the Milky Way real?
"Is it the River God? Or the God of Slaughter?"
"Many people have indeed died in the Tianhe River over the years. My neighbor's child drowned while swimming in the Tianhe River."
"How terrifying, five people have already died."
"That's alarmist. These people just committed suicide; what does it have to do with a curse?"
"Why don't you write a novel? I'd definitely read it."
"Looking forward to the next update, it's like watching a TV series."
Judging from the comments, most people don't believe it and think the website is just trying to attract attention.
Some people are simply watching the show to pass the time.
A small number of people have begun to believe in the Heavenly River Curse and have started to spread and forward this post automatically.
