Chapter 1158: Ghost Substitute, Deformed Hand
Before Feng Yuanlin could answer, Captain Chen, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming, who were also in the car, spoke first. “Master Chi, are you talking about that ‘little b*stard’?”
When Feng Yuanlin heard this, he looked back at Captain Chen, who immediately shut up obediently.
Feng Yuanlin, on the other hand, was very curious as to how Shuyan knew his cousin. In fact, Captain Chen was right when he said that this kid was a little b*stard. His personality wasn’t bad, but he was very casual when it came to relationships. There was a phrase that described him to a tee: “One can pass through thousands of flowers, but never touch a single leaf.”
What was even worse was that when this kid was in high school, he got a female student pregnant, and the matter was even brought to the police station. Back then, it was Feng Yuanlin’s parents who resolved the issue by throwing money at the girl.
Feng Yuanlin was usually very strict with his cousin. Unfortunately, he hadn’t been in the capital before this and was always busy, so it was left to Feng Yuanlin’s mother to discipline this kid.
Given what his mother was like, however, what good could she do?
That kid was very obedient on the surface in front of him and didn’t do anything bad behind his back, but he did a lot of things with women. He had inherited Feng Yuanlin’s second uncle’s dissolute character.
Speaking of which, Feng Yuanlin’s second uncle had been a playboy all his life, so how could he have the time to discipline his son? In the end, it was Feng Yuanlin’s mother who took care of the kid.
The kid had a sweet mouth, and was more like Feng Yuanlin’s mother’s son than Feng Yuanlin himself. He was also close to Feng Yuanlin’s father.
The relationship between the two cousins had always been good. Feng Yuanlin hadn’t thought much of it at first, and by the time the kid got a female student pregnant in high school, it was already too late to take this kid to task for his frivolous character.
Seeing that he really couldn’t do anything, Feng Yuanlin could only turn a blind eye. Fortunately, this kid seemed to have learned his lesson in high school and never got a girl pregnant again.
Only then did Feng Yuanlin stop bothering with the kid. The moment Shuyan brought this kid up, however, Feng Yuanlin wondered if that kid had his eye on Shuyan because she was beautiful!
If it was true, that kid was really courting death. If Zhenbai didn’t kill that kid, his surname wasn’t Feng. Feng Yuanlin hurriedly asked, “Shuyan, how did you suddenly find out about this kid? Or did he do something to you? Tell me, and I’ll teach him a lesson for you!”
Chi Shuyan thought about Feng Yuancen and Yang Lan’s relationship, which was mostly at Yang Lan’s instigation. Chi Shuyan didn’t want to say anything bad about him for no reason. Besides, he hadn’t done anything wrong. She said, “Brother Feng, don’t think too much. It’s fine. My university friend’s boyfriend treated us to a meal today and invited a few friends. It just so happened that I saw a young man who looks a little like you and has a very similar name, so I couldn’t help but guess!”
Feng Yuanlin heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good! That’s good! Wait, that kid didn’t… flirt with you, did he?”
Feng Yuanlin choked on the word “flirt.” He took a deep breath and said, “Shuyan, my cousin is very unreliable. If he really… flirted with you, ignore him. I’ve never seen a second more unreliable man than that kid!”
“Who’s the first?” Chi Shuyan curled her lip and asked curiously.
“His father!”
Chi Shuyan: …
Captain Chen and the others behind him couldn’t help but laugh at Director Feng’s words. Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but smile and nod. “Okay, I’ll remember, Brother Feng!”
Feng Yuanlin continued, “Actually, apart from his messy relationships with women, his character is pretty good! But he’s definitely far inferior to your Zhenbai!”
“Oh!”
As the car drove into the neighborhood close to the crime scene, Feng Yuanlin, Captain Chen and the others started to look a bit solemn, but didn’t say anything else.
Chi Shuyan took out a Tracking Talisman. A flame lit up and immediately swallowed the Tracking Talisman. Chi Shuyan felt obvious fluctuations and said, “Brother Feng, drive west!”
Feng Yuanlin took a close look at Shuyan’s method. When her fingertips lit up with a flame, it was like a magic trick. He immediately listened to Shuyan and drove west.
Not long after, Chi Shuyan had Brother Feng stop in a pretty remote and dilapidated neighborhood. Black qi shrouded one of the buildings, and Chi Shuyan immediately got out of the car. Feng Yuanlin and the others knew from Shuyan’s expression that something was wrong, and immediately followed.
When Shuyan went up to the third floor of the community building and nodded, Feng Yuanlin immediately had Captain Chen knock on the door. He knocked loudly and said that he was a police officer, and had the person inside open the door immediately.
When the person inside heard the word “police,” he immediately opened the door obediently.
As soon as the door was opened, Chi Shuyan saw a gentle-looking man standing there. Chi Shuyan had a good impression of him at first glance, mainly because his aura was white. He hadn’t done anything bad in his life, and was a good person with a good heart.
Sure enough!
The other party immediately said that he was a teacher and had never done anything illegal. Was there a misunderstanding, that the police would come to his house? The other party was very nervous.
Chi Shuyan naturally couldn’t say that she suspected that a ghost wanted to harm them. She subconsciously looked inside and saw two children. One had just learned to crawl, while the other, a two- or three-year-old boy, slowly got to his feet. He suddenly walked over to his father and called out to Chi Shuyan in his baby voice, “Sister!”
Brother Feng said that it was just a routine inspection, and the other party heaved a sigh of relief.
Chi Shuyan rubbed the little guy’s head, narrowed her eyes, and knocked on the bathroom door.
Chen Mei, who was in the bathroom, heard the noise outside and couldn’t care less about showering anymore. She immediately opened the door and came out, but didn’t see that as soon as the door opened, a white, bloated hand that had just stretched out of the drainpipe in the floor behind her immediately pulled back.
Chen Mei had also heard the word “police” in the bathroom. She looked a little nervous and subconsciously looked at her husband. She hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
After all, for the police to suddenly come knocking, Chen Mei was very worried that something had happened.
Chi Shuyan had clearly sensed a lot of fluctuations in the bathroom earlier, but when the other party opened the door, the fluctuations inside immediately disappeared without a trace.
Chi Shuyan walked to the bathroom door and took a look. Her eyes suddenly fell on the drainer, which was lifted up, and she looked thoughtful.
At that moment, the cute two- or three-year-old boy toddled over to Chi Shuyan’s side again, took her hand, and said in his baby voice, “Sister, play with me! Play with me and my brother!”
Chi Shuyan’s attention was diverted a little by the little boy tugging at her hand. She had always been very patient with children, but this wasn’t the time to coax him. Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and feigned curiosity. “Did you pry open the drainer in your bathroom?”
