Inside the magnificent villa.
In the corridor between the third-floor toilet and living room, the forensic doctor and young police officers who were conducting the on-site investigation were observing the body when they saw the captain return and immediately went to him.
"Captain, the corpse is starting to change again."
The group hurried over, and the moment they saw the corpse, even their daily bedmates couldn't help but feel nauseous. Madam Wang covered her mouth and gagged a few times, unable to bear the shock of the smell and the corpse's appearance.
This was the first time Zhang Gou had ever seen a corpse, and he was quite frightened. His previously nonchalant expression turned into fear and trepidation, and he only dared to look from a distance, his arm holding the live-streaming phone trembling.
"Hahaha, aren't you supposed to be very brave? What are you afraid of? Jiang Nuo even dared to stand face-to-face with a corpse."
Some people are all talk and no action, cowardly, and stubborn.
"Damn it, do you even know how to take pictures? Hold your arms out straight! I can't see a thing!"
Zhang Gou wasn't unaware of the comments. Although he wanted to pretend he couldn't see anything, the live stream was incredibly popular, reaching the top spot on the homepage, and attracting a steady stream of fans and casual viewers who saw Jiang Nuo's cover image.
He gritted his teeth, but couldn't resist the urge, so he took a few steps forward and pointed his phone camera at the corpse to take pictures.
Si Yan immediately took out a mask and put it on, then squatted down with Jiang Nuo to examine the body.
As the police said, Wang Laoliu's body had been dead for a short time, but apart from his abdomen, which was raised high like a water balloon, his whole body had turned black and hard, like a dried corpse from which all blood and internal organs had been drained.
The corpse's withered mouth opened unconsciously, its cheeks were deeply sunken, and its eyes still held traces of terror; it died with its eyes open in disbelief.
Jiang Nuo asked the forensic doctor for a pair of gloves, put them on, and pressed her abdomen. It felt soft, like it was stuffed with cotton, but she could also feel that it was empty inside.
"It's filled with black energy," Jiang Nuo said, then looked at Si Yan, "What do you think?"
Si Yan didn't deny it, and pointed a few centimeters away at the corpse's chest, " Nuonuo, isn't there a pattern here?"
Jiang Nuo lifted the corpse's clothes and, as expected, saw patterns emerging from deep within the skin.
"Let's take a look from a distance." Jiang Nuo didn't hesitate; he grabbed a dagger from his pocket and was about to make his move.
"Hey, Mr. Jiang!"
The police officer was startled and immediately stopped them, asking first, "Can you be sure it was Ghost Killing? If so, we can separate the body; otherwise, we have to follow the procedures for human murder."
The two forensic doctors nodded repeatedly, but they were extremely curious about what was inside the body and wished they could do it themselves.
Jiang Nuo chuckled, realizing he'd almost forgotten about that.
"It's confirmed to be Ghost Killing... but whether the demon himself committed suicide is still uncertain."
Si Yan had anticipated what would happen and had already moved away from the corpse, peeking out from behind the door.
As soon as Jiang Nuo finished speaking, the sharp dagger was already plunged into the corpse's chest, cutting vertically from the right side of its heart.
In an instant, a dense black mist spread out.
Jiang Nuo pinched the tip of her nose to avoid inhaling the air.
But others weren't so lucky.
"Ugh!!" Zhang Gou was the first to give in. Jiang Nuo, being malicious, didn't warn him. Facing the spreading black mist, the strong stench of corpses and decay assaulted his nostrils. He threw away his phone and ran outside to vomit violently.
Even the police couldn't stand the stench; it was like being directly exposed to a mass grave littered with corpses—the stench was unbearable.
"Mom... I can smell that stench even through the screen."
[What a bizarre way to die! I'm looking forward to God Nuo and Si Jiaojiao solving the case and finding the truth!]
"Let's see who still says there are no ghosts. Any human could go to such lengths with something this eerie..."
Where are the people who were just cursing with Zhang Gou? Come out and take a stroll!
Jiang Nuo rummaged through his pockets and found a small porcelain bottle, which he used to collect the black energy.
Looking back, I saw that several people in the corridor had already been knocked unconscious by the fumes.
"Hehe, I'm really sorry."
Jiang Nuo spoke cheerfully, suddenly realizing she had found a good way to be happy, even if it was a bit unethical.
After the black mist dissipated, the inside of the corpse was indeed empty.
Bang!
The door at the end of the corridor suddenly slammed shut by itself without any wind, letting in a gust of cold wind.
Si Yan, standing behind the door, looked slightly cold and followed the chilling aura.
" Si Yan!" Jiang Nuo sensed the danger and immediately followed, ignoring the dismembered corpse on the ground.
The forensic doctor and the police looked at each other, no one daring to move the body anymore, and even just staying there made them feel a chill.
That's a ghost!
The captain scratched his head. "Go, go report the case and get it transferred to the association to handle."
"Okay," the young policeman replied, and then there was another bang.
"How about... we follow Jiang Nuo?" he suggested quietly, having also watched the live stream. "If we don't provoke him... at least our lives won't be in danger."
Captain: "Good idea."
After staggering back from vomiting, Zhang Gou saw everyone heading upstairs, grabbed his phone, and followed them, still stubbornly arguing on his live stream.
"I'm just afraid of corpses! It doesn't prove there are ghosts!"
The group chased after the ghost all the way up to the study. Si Yan didn't see any sign of the vengeful spirit, but instead saw an old woman crying silently in a corner, her breath barely audible, as if she were calling for help before she died.
Si Yan stopped, crouched down to observe the old woman, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The old woman struggled to lift her head, silently opening her mouth. Her cheeks were deeply sunken, and her belly, covered by her wide clothes, was equally prominent.
He was consumed by resentment.
Si Yan was slightly surprised, then quickly extended her long, slender fingers and used her Spiritual Power to seal the vital point.
Just then, Jiang Nuo arrived, and with perfect coordination, she affixed a yellow talisman to the old woman's forehead and led Si Yan back.
"Well!!"
The old woman cried out in pain and fell backward to the ground. A continuous stream of black energy emanated from her body, but it was suppressed by the yellow talisman and could not disperse.
Jiang Nuo flicked out a hidden blade and just then saw the police officers approaching. In a flash of inspiration, he beckoned a young policeman over.
"Hold out your hand," Jiang Nuo said.
The police followed suit, and before the words "I'm your fan" could even get out of his throat, Jiang Nuo cut open his finger to draw blood.
He was bewildered and could only watch helplessly as Jiang Nuo flicked out his sleeve blade, striking the already blackened yellow talisman squarely and nailing it firmly to the wall, the black aura dissipating.
The old woman gasped for breath, leaning against the wall as she vomited blood incessantly, until she had vomited all the black blood, and only then did she finally have the strength to stand up.
The police officers came forward to help her and asked for her identity.
Upon hearing that she was the housekeeper of this villa, Jiang Nuo leaned against Si Yan's shoulder and asked, "What's the deal with this room?"
Everyone looked up and saw that the room door was wide open, and although the decoration was very ordinary, it made people feel depressed at first glance.
"This is Mr. Wang's collection room, filled with his prized possessions that he doesn't want to sell... I... I came here to clean today, and that's when I started feeling unwell."
After the nanny finished speaking, the police took her downstairs to rest.
The room was very cold and gloomy, filled with a sinister atmosphere. Jiang Nuo then let the police go in first.
"Why?" the police captain asked.
Jiang Nuo smiled and said, "You all have a lot of yang energy."
