After hearing my question, Ma Ying's soul showed difficulty on his face.
"What? Don't you know?" I asked suspiciously.
Ma Ying said anxiously, "No, no... Master, I know. I just don't know how to start."
"Just tell me everything you know. Is there anything difficult about that?"
Ma Ying's face still retained her human habits. She bit her lips and whispered, "Well, Master, since you want to know, I'll tell you... Actually, I know why Chen Xiaozhi wants to harm those people."
"Because Yao Nana and Zhang Dinglan had already discovered what was going on between me and Chen Wenhua."
"One day, Chen Wenhua and I were shopping. We happened to run into Yao Nana and Zhang Dinglan who were also shopping. Yao Nana and Zhang Dinglan saw what was going on between Chen Wenhua and me. They threatened me and Chen Wenhua that if Chen Wenhua didn't give them pocket money, they would tell Chen Xiaozhi about what was going on between us."
So that's how it is!
I thought about it and asked Ma Ying, "But how did Yao Nana and Zhang Dinglan know Chen Wenhua?"
Ma Ying explained: "That's because Chen Wenhua sent Chen Xiaozhi to school when she was a freshman. Chen Wenhua also treated a few of us to dinner at a nearby restaurant."
"Chen Wenhua was the boss, so Yao Nana and the others were very impressed by him. After that, Chen Wenhua kept giving me gifts and taking me out to play. Gradually, I fell in love with him and couldn't help myself."
When Ma Ying said the words "unable to extricate myself", I don't know why, but I felt a little disgusted.
It turns out that Chen Wenhua gave Ma Ying more material things. It seems that Ma Ying is not only a lovelorn person, but also a simple-minded idiot. It is really foolish to capture her with a little material.
"Later, Chen Wenhua really gave money to Yao Nana and Zhang Dinglan. But Yao Nana and Zhang Dinglan were greedy and asked for hundreds or thousands of dollars every time. I remember one month, the two of them asked Chen Wenhua for tens of thousands of yuan."
"Maybe he was tired of being with me. Two years later, Chen Wenhua found me and said that if I left him, he would give me some money as a breakup fee. At that time, I had just had a miscarriage for more than two months. I was very sad when I heard that Chen Wenhua was going to abandon me, so I ran back to the dormitory."
"Later, Chen Wenhua came to me several times, probably because he was lonely. I wanted to stop associating with him and live my normal life. But I couldn't control myself, so Chen Wenhua and I got together secretly again."
"Yao Nana and Zhang Dinglan thought Chen Wenhua and I had broken up, so they stopped bothering us."
"But one time when Chen Xiaozhi celebrated her birthday, Chen Wenhua came. In the private room of the restaurant, several girls were drunk. Yao Nana and Zhang Dinglan started talking nonsense with a hint of meaning. I am a woman, and my feeling is not wrong. I think that at that time Chen Xiaozhi had already discovered the ambiguous relationship between me and Chen Wenhua."
"But later, Chen Xiaozhi did not do anything abnormal. Instead, he gradually distanced himself from me and became closer to Yao Nana and Zhang Dinglan."
Having said this, the pain in his heart spread, and Ma Ying choked up and couldn't continue.
If what Ma Ying said is true, then Chen Xiaozhi killed Zhang Dinglan in the dormitory and now disappeared with Yao Nana. She may be taking revenge by saying this.
You know, sometimes women's hearts can be very evil.
Especially when it comes to emotional issues. I guess
It is possible that Chen Xiaozhi felt that her good roommates Yao Nana and Zhang Dinglan had discovered the scandal between her father and Ma Ying but did not tell her, which made her feel disgusted and she went to harm others.
"Um!"
I nodded and comforted Ma Ying, "Don't cry. No matter what, the evil thoughts in Chen Xiaozhi's heart were aroused by you and that Chen Wenhua. You and Chen Wenhua were not suitable to be together, but you ended up together. This is wrong."
I didn’t know how to comfort Ma Ying, so I simply stated my point of view.
Then Aunt Song comforted Ma Ying a few more words.
But Ma Ying was still in a very low mood, her soul was trembling, and she seemed to be in a very unstable mood.
The address Lin Hongyu gave me was a hotel called "Tianhai Family" at the east gate of Fanghua Women's University.
When I drove there, there were already several police cars parked at the door.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw Lin Hongyu and Zhao Ping following Ding Yuan out of the hotel.
There were many people watching around, and they were all whispering to each other.
But those people didn't know what was happening.
Seeing me and the little monk, Ding Yuan quickly came up to me and said in a hurry: "Brother Yang, I was just about to call you. I didn't expect you to come."
I said, "Lin Hongyu called to inform me... How is it going? Have Chen Xiaozhi and Yao Nana been found?"
Ding Yuan shook his head and said helplessly, "It's been a few hours since Chen Xiaozhi and Yao Nana left here. Just now, when I checked the nearby surveillance cameras, I found that Chen Xiaozhi and Yao Nana left at around eight o'clock in the morning. But the middle of the surveillance video was cut off."
"They didn't take a taxi or anything, they just disappeared to the hotel."
Having said that, Ding Yuan pulled me and took me into the police car.
"Bang!" After sitting in the back seat of the police car, Ding Yuan closed the door.
He asked me anxiously, "Brother Yang, I heard from that female student Lin Hongyu that you have found the murderer of Zhang Dinglan and know the whole story."
"Lin Hongyu also told me that all these things were done by a female student named Chen Xiaozhi. Is this true?"
I leaned back in the police car seat and nodded.
Seeing me nod, Ding Yuan urged me again: "Brother Yang, tell me quickly! What is going on? Is it true that Chen Xiaozhi conspired with the ghost to kill Zhang Dinglan?"
Ding Yuan looked at his watch with a look of urgency in his eyes.
What I didn't know was that the news of the inexplicable murder of a female student from Fanghua Women's University had actually spread throughout Jiangbin City. There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable, and the Chinese habit of criticizing others is not easy to change.
Moreover, the Jiangbin Municipal Government has issued an order to the police station where Ding Yuan is located, requiring it to find the missing female student Ma Ying and the murderer of Zhang Dinglan within three days.
No wonder Ding Yuan kept looking at his watch.
I turned to Ding Yuan and said, "These things were indeed done by Chen Xiaozhi, but it was not Chen Xiaozhi who conspired with the ghosts, but Chen Xiaozhi who controlled the ghosts to kill people. In addition, now it is not only the female student Zhang Dinglan who is dead, but also the missing female student Ma Ying."
"What? That female student named Ma Ying is also dead? ... ... No way?!"
Ding Yuan still didn't quite believe what I said.
I curled my lips and said, "Of course not! Captain Ding, don't forget that I'm a Taoist priest who catches ghosts. How could I lie to you about this? Besides, I'm cooperating with your police now."
Ding Yuan nodded awkwardly and said seriously, “That’s right.
”
Afterwards, I told Ding Yuan everything that happened to Ma Ying and Chen Xiaozhi. Of course, I didn't tell him about the ghost poison or the formation spirit.
When Ding Yuan listened to my statement, his eyes widened and he stared at me.
I noticed that his face turned blue and white, and the blood vessels on his neck were bulging and beating continuously.
"Are you okay?"
I looked at Ding Yuan with some worry.
Ding Yuan came back to his senses, clenched his fists, and said angrily: "I didn't expect it to be like this! That Chen Xiaozhi actually killed two people. And that thing called 'Nightmare Ghost' actually drove ghosts to kill hundreds of people. It's really hateful."
At this point, Ding Yuan said righteously, "No matter what, I must bring Chen Xiaozhi to justice. As for the nightmare ghost, Brother Yang, I'll get rid of you. I hope you can help our police to eradicate the demon."
I nodded and said, "Don't worry, Captain Ding, since I, Yang Tianyi, have already promised you, I will not break my promise."
But Ding Yuan's eyes were still on me.
Being stared at by a grown man made me feel uncomfortable.
"Um... Captain Ding, why are you looking at me like that?"
Ding Yuan deliberately lowered his voice and whispered, "Brother Yang, didn't you say that you collected the ghost of that female student Ma Ying? Well, Brother Yang, I want to see what a ghost looks like."
I was surprised and also somewhat impressed by Ding Yuan.
Some people are born afraid of supernatural things, thinking that those things are hidden in the darkness and are extremely fierce. However, sometimes, ghosts are kinder than humans.
I didn't expect that Ding Yuan actually wanted to see a ghost.
I nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, since you want to see it, Captain Ding, I will fulfill your wish. But I hope you won't be afraid."
Ding Yuan straightened up and said in a righteous voice: "Don't worry, Brother Yang, I'm not afraid of ghosts. I'm a policeman, and ghosts have to be afraid of me."
That's true.
The masculine energy of the police is stronger than that of ordinary people, so ordinary ghosts dare not approach the police.
He smiled and patted the soul-collecting bucket on my waist, and the lid of the soul-collecting bucket opened automatically.
Then, I chanted a spell, "... Ma Ying, come out and meet Officer Ding."
"Yes, Master Yang!"
Ma Ying responded.
Immediately afterwards, a black gas flew out from the soul-collecting barrel and slowly emerged in the police car.
When Ma Ying's soul was suspended in the police car, I noticed that Ding Yuan's Adam's apple was trembling.
He swallowed his saliva. His face was no longer pale, but dark red.
"Hello, Officer Ding!"
Ma Ying lowered his head and greeted Ding Yuan timidly.
Ding Yuan held on and remained calm.
He recalled the photo of the female student Ma Ying, and confirmed that the somewhat unreal figure in front of him was the ghost of the female student Ma Ying.
"Hello... Hello, Ma Ying!"
Ding Yuan forced a smile from his lips.
Soon, after Ma Ying and Ding Yuan had a brief exchange of words, I put Ma Ying's soul back into the soul collecting barrel.
At this moment, the window of the police car we were in was suddenly knocked.
“Boom boom boom!”
The voice sounded urgent.
Outside the police car.
Policeman Xiao Wang leaned on the car window and shouted to the inside: "Captain, it's bad... It's bad, Chen Xiaozhi's father, Chen Wenhua, had a car accident on the way to school..."
