Chapter 562: Menstrual Blood Suppresses Evil Spirits


    Womens menstrual blood was considered extremely dirty. Not only itcouldforce evilspiritsor ghosts to show up, but it could also force them to leave.


    As we were in an emergency, I didnt have time toconsider politenessasI was worried that Wang Pingwouldn''twant to cooperate with me.


    Fortunately, Wang Ping reacted fast. She was stunned for a moment,but soon, she pulled herself together.After taking off her trousers, she threw thematme.


    I caught the trousersanshedthem atthe ghostly faces near me. The faces shrieked. Then, all the faces in the living room shrilled, and the countless facessurrounding usdisappeared. It was asif they had just receivedan order toretreat.


    It seemed those ghostly faces were just illusions. The otherworldly item should be somewhere in this living room. I got a hold of myselfthen rushedout to chase after them.


    Atthis moment, all the ghostly faces in the living room were gone, butI vaguely saw a ck shadowthat slitheredthrough the narrow slit between the door and the wall. It fled...


    I had done aborious job tonight to seethereal face of the ghost. If I let it flee right now, I would be in great troubleter! I gritted my teethand chasedafter the shadow.


    As it was after midnight and almost dawn, the entire neighborhood was deadly silent. A fewstreet lightsstood against the darkness, which set off the ghostlysilhouetteof the night. To add to this eerie scene,the rain was evenheavier than theevening. As soon as I got out of the door, I was almost drenched under the rain.


    I casually wiped the rainwater offmy face. The ck shadow made a turn into a small alley. I immediately followed it. Most of the roads in this residential area were connected to apartment buildings. After a few steps, the shadowmade another turn.It seemed to be heading to another building. I worriedly dashed after it. Suddenly,I stepped into a hole. Mybodysankimmediately.


    Damn it! Whats thisfreakingpit doing here! I cursed, as I had stepped and fallen into a manhole that didnt have a cover. I tried to grab the edge of the manholein an attemptto get up. However, a sharp pain shot up from my ankle. I guessed I got hurt when I stepped into this hole.


    I turned on the shlightonmy phoneand shone itaround the ce. I was surprisedto seethat it was a sewer.It was strange thatI didnt smell the typical, pungent smell of the sewage.


    This sort of fake sewer was the great invention ofsomecheating contractor. In other words, this construction only had a hole and a chamber. There was no pipe connected to it.


    Although I would snort at this sort of construction cheating,atthis moment, I was d that I wasnt trapped in a real sewer. Otherwise, I would have died!


    After confirming that there would be no danger, I heaved a sigh of relief. I sat down to recover my strength. Although I was worried that the ghostly faces could return to the house to affect Wang Ping, I wasnt able to climb up this two or three-meter tall manholeinmy current condition


    After restingfor a while, I felt much better and my strengthhadrecovered. I stood up and stretched my limbs. I was still lucky that this manhole was built roughly. There were many blocks of concrete here and there. I stepped on them and slowly got out of the hole.


    Then, I ran as fast as I could to Wang Pings house while praying that she was safe and sound.


    Fortunately, when I pushed the door open and entered the house, Wang Ping was sitting on the sofa with a worried face. I exhaled in reliefthatshe was all right. Then, I slumped onto the ground, gaspingfor my breath. After Iregainedmy strength, Wang Ping handed me her husbands clothes.


    I washed and changed into warm clothes. It was almost dawn. Wang Ping cooked me a bowl of noodles. I didnt mind the hot noodles andimmediatelydugin.After devouring all the food,I started to feel warmer.


    When the sky waspletely bright, I walked out to see. The rain had stopped. It should be a sunny day today.


    Since that spirit seemed to be afraid of me, I was certain it wouldnt show up during the day. I exined the situation to Wang Pingand askedher nottoworry. Ifound a guest room to stay in.


    Tonight, there should be a fierce battle. I needed to rest well to fully recover my strength!


    There was only one bedroomon thefirst floor. Naturally, I went to the guest roomon thesecond floor. When I walked past Wang Pings sons room, I vaguely caughtaclue. However, I couldnt figure out what it was.After shaking my head, I went to the next room. As soon as my headtouchedthe bed, Ifell asleep.


    Not after five minutesofyingdown, my phone rang.I reachedfor the phoneand eptedthe call. I asked grumpily,Whois it?


    Mr. Zhang, theres been another murder!


    I sprang up from the bedwhen I heardCaptain Lius calm voiceoverthe phone. I rushed out of the houseanddidnt eveninformWang Ping.


    When I arrived at the police station, Captain Liu was with Xiaolin and a few more policemen. Theywere about to leave the station. Captain Liu saw me and helped me get in the police car. On the way, he briefed meaboutthe situation.


    The one who had reported the murder case was a twelve-year-old little girl. She found her father dead on the sofa in the living room. However, the kid couldntexinthe situationwellenough. The policeman on duty had to ask her a few times to get her address.


    After listening to him, I felt a big, heavy rockpresson mychest. Yesterday, when I saw Wang Ping, I had thought that thoseghostly crying facesweretheevilspirits that had killed the seven people. I hadnt expected that after one night ofstaying up and fighting against that evil spirit, therewould beanother victimfoundthe next day


    Chief Liu sawthat I had keptsilent. He patted my shoulder andforted me. Mr. Zhang, dontfeel rushedor worried. Lets discussthiswhen we getto the murder scene.


    I nodded, but my mind was chaotic.


    After around one hour, the car stopped in front of a vi residential area. Captain Liu showed his police ID card to the security guard, who then let us in.


    The murdertook cein a vige at the edge of this vi neighborhood. As soon as they arrived at the scene, the group of policemen and technicians begantowork. Some hurried to pull the cordons. Some talked andforted the little girl. A group of technicians and policemen started to check the victims remains.


    I put on disposable gloves and shoe coversbeforeentering the crime scene. I checked around to assess the arrangement of the vi and then went to see the body.


    I shook my head in disgust when I saw the blood streak on the ground and the pieces of chopped flesh.


    Although I had oftenmade contactwith dead things,and Id seen dead people before, it was the first time I had ever seen this kind of muttedcorpse. It waschopped into pieces like KFC fried chicken. Inexplicably, I felt a little pressure.


    Then, I went to a forensic doctor who was packing up his tools. I asked,Before the victim died, was he frightened?


    The forensic didnt know my identityand assumed that I was a young criminal policeman. Perhaps he had been working as a forensic doctor for quite a long time that he was immune to seeing corpses. He faintly told me, Its true that the deceased was frightened terribly. Isuspecthe was scared to death before he was minced like this.


    Then, he picked up histoolbox and left. The chopped body was put into a stic bag and carried away. They needed to hurry to find the clues from the victims remains, which would help conclude the case early.


    After checking the entire scene, Captain Liu decided to leave two policemen here to take records. He wantedme to leave with him, but I shook my headand expressedmy wish to stay and join the oral confession recording with the policemen.


    I didnt understand criminal investigations, nor was I interested in this field. I just wanted to stay to see if I could capture some clues from their conversation.


    It was because I found that the cut marks on the deceaseds remainsweresimr to the wounds the crying faces had left on Wang Pings face. They werent big wounds. They were small but there were so many of them. Thatwaswhy they could gnaw the entire body into pieces as big as fingernails.


    Chief Liu agreedas I had insisted on staying. Since there were so many corpse-chopping murder cases, he was so busy that he wished he could fly to move faster. He asked me to take care then left with the others.


    After that, the two policemen started to take the oral confessions from the four maids in this vi. Theywerentreally suspicious. Except for an aunty who was the chef here, the others didnt stay during the nights in the vi.


    Before the auntywoke upthis morning, she wasstartledby the little girls scream. There was nothing in the crime scene that was rted to herorshowed that shemitted the crime.


    The deceaseds daughter was called Yuan Yuan. She wasatwelve-year-oldgirl. She still had a pale face. It seemed her fathers death was a great shock to her.


    As the policemen were afraidof scaringher, they talked softly to her. The girl was still frightened, but her words were clear and orderly. She described how shewentdownstairs and the moment she saw her father dead. Then, she asked the police when they could find the murderer.


    After listening to her, I couldnt help but study the little girl. Her reaction was really strange!Apart fromlooking scared, there was no other emotion on her face. The victim was her father. Shouldnt she be mournful for him?


    Right when I was about to ask her about her rtionship with her father,I saw a small shadowonthe second floor through the corner of my eye. It looked the sameasthe shadow I had chasedst night. I didnt say anything,but broughtthe Yin and Yang Umbre with me andrushedupstairs.


    As the ck shadow had nakedly appeared during the day like this, I didnt dare to be careless. I borrowedapolice badge from a policeman. The police represented justice. Their aura could scareevilspirits.This badgeshould do thework!


    That dark shadow moved very fast.In theblink of an eye, it had crossed the corridoron thesecond floorand movedinto the dark depths. I was worried that it could lurk somewhere to ambush me. I opened the Yin and Yang Umbreand carefully followed it.


    After passing a room, the shadow halted for a while. Then, I heard theughter of children ying.Haha!


    The ck shadow turned and threw me a look. Since the distance was far and the corridoronthe second floor was poorly lit, I couldnt seeitsface. However, I could vaguely capture the shape of a chubby boy wearing coarse hemp garments. He looked around seven or eight years old.


    The ck shadow grinned at me, then turned into wisps of smokebefore enteringthe room through the slit at the door. I was so worried that he would hurt the kid inside the room. I immediately rushed to the room. The door was locked.I knocked on the door, but no one answered.


    I hesitated for a while. Resolutely, I dashed downstairsand askeda maid for the key. She gave me a chain of keys. I didnt have time to find the right one, so I directly pulled her upstairs.


    When we reached the room, no matter how hard I asked, she didnt want to open the door. I knew something wasnt right. I threatened her that if she didnt open the door, she could be guilty as the aplice.Feeling helpless, she had to unlock the door


    However,oncethe door was pushed open, there was no dark shadow inside. Strangely, I had heard kidsying there. But now,there wasnoonein this room!


    I was restlessly worried that the dark shadow had already taken the kid away. I asked the maid to run around to look forthe kid. Then, I headed toward the directionof thethickest Yin energy.


    Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, the maid pulled me backand heldmy arm tightly. She looked frightenedand gazedat me. Then, she spokeand emphasizedeach word. There is no other kid in this house


    I was bewilderedand recognizedthat her face didnt look quite right. After asking her for a while, I learned that the deceased had a son and a daughter. The daughter was Yuan Yuan, the girlwe had met downstairs.Thesonhaddied in this room a few days after his first birthday.


    I felt things were even more bizarre. There were four maids in this house. Whydidnt anyone payattention tothelittle boy?


    How did the boy named Tian Tian die? I asked.


    The maid shook her headand sighedin regret. That poor boy choked on his milk. He was alone in this room. No one had realizedit. When he was found, there was no chanceof savinghim


    Where were his parents?


    The maid sarcastically answered my question.Thatday, his parents were attendingahigh-ss banquet. They didnt care about their son Poor little Tian Tian. When they found him, his body had turned purple. It wasterrible!


    As I had lingered for quite a long time, I knew I couldnt chase after the little shadow.I chattedwith the maid for a while. In the end, Ilearnedthat the owners of this vididne home more than once a week.Every day, they would keep their business in their heads and neglect their familyandtheir children.


    Today, the husband was dead, but the wife hadnt shown up yet.Therewas an eighty percent possibility that she was drunk and resting somewhere.


    After listening to the story of this family, I felt emotional.After thinking about little Tian Tian, who was just months old andwasneglected since his parents were busy with their social party, my heart sank.


    It was justasthe maid had told me. Its the children who suffer from their parents bad actions!
