Chapter 583: The Mysterious Head-st Case


    The bodyguard received the room key card from the front desk and gave it to me. Excuse me, Im going back to protect our Chairman!


    I smiled and waved at him. Just go, Im not a three-year-old kid.


    The bodyguard turned then left.


    He had taken me to the VIP suite on the highest floor, which cost at least five thousand renminbi per night. I went to the floor-to-ceiling window where I could observe half of Taiyuan City. I moved an armchair to the window and casually watched the scene out there.


    If Jiang Teng loved his son so much, why is he worried so much about something else?


    And, if he wanted to solve something that was rted to his son, why did he hide it from me?


    After thinking about it for a long time, I still got nothing. I simply stopped contemting and got something to eat. After lunch, I directly took a nap. I needed to prepare for anything that would soone.


    When I woke up, it was evening. The blocks of bright lights outside the window looked magnificent. I couldnt help but take a photo of the beautiful scene with my phone and posted it on my WeChat Moments.


    After posting the photo, I found it strange that Jiang Teng didnte to see me. He hadnt called me, either. I frowned while thinking about it. Most of the people that had trouble with an otherworldly item would wish to get rid of it as soon as possible. That man was different. He put me in this luxurious hotel to enjoy a leisure day.


    I was afraid that the otherworldly item had harmed him already, so I called him. The phone rang for quite a long time before the line went through.


    Mr. Zhang, Mr. Chairman is in a hurry. What do you need?


    Hearing the bodyguards voice, I was assured. No, its nothing. I just wanted to ask when I can start working.


    The bodyguard kept silent for a while. Our Chairman has encountered something tough to solve. I dont know when he can finish. When hes done, he wille to pick you up.


    I was speechless and hung up the call. I put on a thick coat and left the hotel. Taiyuan was a famous city with a great history. It wasnt like I could visit such a city whenever I wanted. It would be a big waste if I didnt tour around!


    I took a leisure walk and tasted some Taiyuan delicacies, including oily meat, steamed mutton dumplings, and Taiyuan tender tofu. After my stomach turned rounder, I decided to head back to the hotel. That was when I received a call from Jiang Tengs bodyguard.


    He sounded panic-stricken, and his voicewasintermittent. I had to listen to him carefully to know that he was waiting for me at the hotel. He asked me to return quickly.


    It felt likethe sky was going to copse on them! I stopped a taxi and returned to the hotel. When I arrived, I saw the bodyguard waiting for meinthe lobby, his head held low. One of his hands tightly pressedon the electric baton on his waist. He looked tense.


    I patted his shoulder. What happened?


    When he lifted his head to look at me, I saw that he waspale, and the muscles on his face twitched.It seemed he was greatly shocked.


    He looked at me asthoughhe had just seen his savior. He sprang up and grabbed my arm. In a trembling voice, he said,Zhang Mr. Zhang


    The bodyguard had to gather all of his strength to tell me a full sentence.Another person got his head sted!


    I was aghast. I hurried to pull the bodyguard into my room. After he finally calmed down, I asked him to tell me the details.


    The bodyguard took a few deep breaths. When he looked better, he started tosayslowly,The victim was our Young Masters friend.


    It turned out the issue Jiang Teng hadto deal withtoday was rted to his son. Jiang Guanguans friendhadrecordedpart of the party, capturingthe events thathappened that night.He didnt knowhow, but the video waster leaked.


    Rich kids birthday parties always had something they didnt want to be public. Jiang Teng didnt want to see his kid be insulted or criticized after he was gone. He hurriedly contacted the mediapanies to erase those negative posts.


    However, there was oneizen that was stubborn enough. No matter how much Jiang Teng had offered him, he didnt want to delete the video he had posted on Weibo. It was also the reason Jiang Teng was so busy todaythat he didnt have thetime to see me.


    In the end, Jiang Teng didnt have anychoicebutto geta hacker to hack that Weibo ount. Unexpectedly, thatizen was also an excellent hacker.They were entangledin the battle for a long time. Jiang Tengs side had to struggle hard to delete the others Weibo ountpletely.


    After solving this matter, Jiang Teng wanted toe and fetch meatthe hotel.


    WhenJiang Guanguans friend had heard from Jiang Teng that I could help them take revenge for Jiang Guanguan, he also wanted teand see me.


    Jiang Teng knew that he was Jiang Guanguans best friend, so he didnt deny him. The boy had acted normallyalongthe way until their car reached a traffic light at an intersection. All of a sudden, he struggled and demanded to get out of the car. No matter how hard Jiang Teng pulled the young man back, he couldnt stop him.


    As soon as the boy got out of the car, he started to move around. Then, the green light was on. The cars behind started to honk.


    Jiang Teng craned his head through the window to call the young man to return to the car. Themandidnt listen to him but moved to the front of the car as though he wanted to stopitfrom moving forward.


    Right when Jiang Teng didnt know what to do, the young mans head exploded. His blood and brain sshedon the windshield


    The bodyguard was the driver, so he saw everything. The windshield was dyed with red blood, whichscared the wits out of him. His body softened, and he couldnt get a hold of himself. After a long time, he realizedhe had tocall the police.


    He knew it wasnt something a human could do, so it was no usein callingthe police.However, if he didnt call the police, he and Jiang Tengwouldnt be able toexin themselves. The police arrivedquickly. Being suspects, the bodyguard and Jiang Teng were brought to the police station. After checking the on-dash camera, they agreed that this murder case was beyond theircapacity.


    Wheres Jiang Teng? I asked the bodyguard. They were together, but I didnt see him.


    The bodyguard wore a wry smile. Although the police believed that weweren''tthe murderers, the boys parents think that wedidsomething that caused his death. They didnt want to let us go.


    Feeling hopeless, Jiang Teng had to send the bodyguard to pick me up. He stayed in the police station to deal with the boys parents.


    Our Chairman wantsyou to gotheretosee if you can find anything.


    I nodded and grabbed my bag,then leftthe hotel with the bodyguard. As his car was kept at the police station as evidence, we had to take a taxi. Fortunately, the road was clearand we got to the police station quickly.


    Before I entered the ce, I heardpeoplecrying at the top oftheirlungs. From the bodyguards countenance, I knew it was from the deceaseds parents.


    Indeed, in the lobby, a woman and a man were grabbing and pulling Jiang Tengs tie. Some policemen were trying to calm them, but the parents still insisted that Jiang Teng had killed their son.


    Jiang Teng let them pull him back and forth, but when he saw me, he moved away from the crying couple and walked toward me. He held my handand saidwith emotion,Mr. Zhang, youre finally here!


    As it was an urgent situation, I didnt want to talk nonsense. Take me to see the surveince video.


    The policeman in charge of this case knew that I was specialized in dealing with paranormal activities. Heimmediatelytook me to the control room.


    The situation wasnt different from what the bodyguard had told me. On the screen, the boy looked restless and annoyedas he walkedback and forth. When the green light glowed, Jiang Teng urged him to get into the car. All of a sudden, the young man walked to the front of the car. His head abruptly exploded without any prior indication. Blood and pieces of brain sshed everywhere.


    After watching the video, my stomach churned.I had almost vomited. I didnt have a big reaction when I heard the story from the bodyguardbut now, with visual images, it was so gory!


    I had encountered many spirits that had killed people, but this kind of bloody violence was so rare. Most of the time, spirits would just ng pots and bowls to create loudmotions. However, this spirit only had one purpose: it wanted to kill people.


    I thought, then asked the policeman, Can I see the body?


    ording to the judicial procedure, the body should be in the Forensic Department. I can take you there if you want to see it.


    When the deceaseds parents heard that I wanted to see the body, they jumped toward meand beggedme to find the murderer. While talking, theyredat Jiang Teng.


    Jiang Teng didnt say anything.He reluctantlysighed.


    Looking at the heart-broken parents, I knew it wasnt useful to say anything to them now. I said some simpleforting wordsthen left with the policeman.


    The Forensic Department wason thesixth floor. The forensic doctors werebusywiththis murder case. However, from their faces, I knew they hadnt made any progress.


    After seeing us, a forensic doctor wearing a whiteb coat and a surgical mask came to greet us. Hehandedthe report to the policeman standing next to me, thensaid ina serious voice,Old Wu, this case is the sameasthe previousone.We dont have anyclues.


    Old Wu nodded to him, then handed me the report.


    And who is this gentleman? The forensic doctor was curious as Old Wu had given me the report. He gave me a curious nce.


    Old Wu simply introduced me as a master that was specialized in dealing with mysterious cases like these. The forensic doctor gave me a faint nod. I could capture the incredulous gleam in his eyes.


    I greeted him,thenasked Old Wu to show me the body.


    The body was put in the freezerstorage at the back of the sixth floor. Old Wu and I had to put onb coats, disposable gloves, and shoe protection before entering the storage area.At the firststep, I shuddered. I had to pull my clothes close to me.


    The deceased was covered with a white fabric sheet. Although I had taken the time to prepare myself, when the white sheet was lifted,the sightscared thewitsout of me!The body was clean, and therewere no cutsonit. However,the deceasedonlyhadone-third of his head left. It was a shockingsightto see the mess of blood and brain on his head.


    I tried to not vomit at the scene. Anyway, itappeared thatthe victims head was smashed by something blunt and heavy. Moreover, there was no ck mark around the wound.


    Normally, when a spirit killed someone, it would leave some ck marksaround the wound.Thosewho knew something about this profession all knew this feature.


    After working in this business for a long time,I hadumtedquite a bit ofexperience.Two kinds of spirits couldkill people without leaving any Yin energy behind. The first kindwas aspiritthat had power at the Ghost King level. These spirits could conceal theirYinenergy.


    The other kindwas aspiritthat people had started worshipping posthumously, like themonkJigongor the Tea Sage Lu Yu I hadencountered in the past.However, no matter what kind of spirit it was, it wasnt easy to deal with!


    I felt like there was a small drum beating in my heart.After lingering in this cold room for a while, I hadnt found anything else. Soon, I asked Old Wu to leave this freezing ce.


    When we came back to the lobby of the police station, Jiang Teng and the deceaseds parents rushed to meand askedif I found anything.


    Its troublesome. I frowned.


    Jiang Tengs face darkened. He hurriedly asked,What should we do now?
