Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 237 - 210: Could There Be More Bodies?

As Mu Yunchu uttered the address, Liu Cheng ignored the pain in his body and looked at her in disbelief.

"How could you possibly know? How would you know?" His pupils trembled, astonished by this woman’s prowess.

At this moment, mental and physical torment swept through his mind simultaneously, nearly driving him insane. And Mu Yunchu’s appearance also changed in his eyes, as if he were seeing some sort of monster.

Completely left with a shadow, he might subconsciously recall today’s events every time he sees Mu Yunchu in the future.

...

The address of Nanxiang District had some ’rumors’ throughout Qinghe City.

Many people referred to it as the ’Ghost Building.’

It’s called a district, but in fact, there’s only one building now. However, this single building contains at least hundreds of apartments, much larger than normal residential areas, although most of its inhabitants have moved out.

The reason is it’s ’haunted.’

You can easily find it online, with many claiming to be former residents who said they once saw ghosts there. The most common rumors are about strange noises heard in the corridor in the middle of the night, but when they checked, they found no one.

This is more ordinary; the scarier ones describe people waking up in different places after sleeping at night.

If it happens to one person, it might be sleepwalking, but when it happens to many, something’s amiss.

Various similar reasons led to fewer residents, down to just a few households now. It’s all on the public security system; they can track but have yet to find Liu Cheng or any relatives or friends related to him.

Zhou Zhicheng planned to personally lead a team to investigate.

Originally, Mu Yunchu’s task could end here. But unexpectedly, she proposed to join the visit to Nanxiang District.

Moreover, she suggested, "You’d better bring Forensic Wen along."

Zhou Zhicheng paused, quickly realizing something was amiss.

What does this mean?

Is there another corpse?

...

Sometimes Zhou Zhicheng hoped that not everything he thought would come true.

Especially when it would complicate a case further.

But since it’s been suggested, he had to prepare for it. After Mu Yunchu brought this up, without another word, he called Wen Xu over.

The group planned to drive together to Nanxiang District.

Yet on their way downstairs, they ran into Shen Xun.

He had intended to leave but changed his mind upon seeing Mu Yunchu, closed the car door, and approached her.

"Where are you heading? I’ll give you a lift."

Mu Yunchu was already a well-known figure in the team. Shen Xun acted without discretion; within just half a day, news about the two spread widely.

Those standing nearby showed expressions eager to gossip but feared upsetting Mu Yunchu.

Zhou Zhicheng didn’t expect this guy to be so troublesome.

Previously citing a case inside the precinct, they confiscated his business card, but now... he didn’t have the authority to refuse on behalf of Mu Yunchu.

Seeing Mu Yunchu about to board the police team’s van, Shen Xun intensified his mocking, "Looks like you’re off on a mission with them? Why not ride in my car? Someone like you shouldn’t be in such a vehicle."

The police department’s shared vehicle was quite old, being government property, nobody would buy a particularly good car!

Yet, Shen Xun’s condescending tone inexplicably annoyed them. Unable to react.

In mere seconds, he had offended all, including Zhou Zhicheng.

And the first to drive, Hu Chi, was unexpectedly unhelpful, taking a call indicating another car was out on a mission, leaving only two cars that couldn’t accommodate everyone.

Zhou Zhicheng felt as if destiny was opposing them.

He asked irritably, "How many short?"

Unaware of the situation here, Hu Chi slowly extended one finger, saying, "One."

Just like that, exactly one extra person.

As if purposely designed to cause trouble.

If either Mu Yunchu or Wen Xu didn’t go, this situation wouldn’t arise.

But according to Mu Yunchu’s claim, he speculated there was certainly a case at the scene, so dared not cut manpower.

For a moment, tension stalled.

The only happy one was Shen Xun.

He deepened the smile on his face, "Seems like even fate is aiding me."

If not for his decent looks, the police team members truly wanted to describe his smile as lewd.

But regardless of Shen Xun’s attractiveness, seeing him so smug, everyone wished a car would fall from the sky.

Some even considered feigning stomachache or old ailments reoccurring to make room.

Whether they wanted it or not, the final decision was in Mu Yunchu’s hands.

So although unhappy, Zhou Zhicheng had to ask her thoughts.

What if Mu Yunchu wanted to take the ride?

"Yun Chu, what do you think?"

"Or wait a bit, and I’ll find another car."

Though unwilling to waste time during a case, today he unusually offered this, even willing to pay out of pocket for Mu Yunchu’s cab fare.

At least it wouldn’t give Mu Yunchu the feeling of being forced into Shen Xun’s car.

"I can squeeze in."

She seemingly perceived Zhou Zhicheng’s intention and voiced an unsaid alternative.

Shen Xun was displeased, his expression slightly baffled, "No way, refusing my BMW to squeeze in that broken van?"

Even suggesting a cab ride would make his heart feel a bit better.

Being flatly rejected, a complex mix of emotions arose in Shen Xun. Felt he lost face and was somewhat aggrieved, thus his demeanor became notably more assertive than before.

Almost as if not ceasing until Mu Yunchu boarded today.

In his mind, Mu Yunchu was surely the type easy to handle.

Intending to move hands-on, trying to grab her.

But Mu Yunchu sidestepped him.

She slightly furrowed her brows, glared at Shen Xun angrily. His action evidently crossed her boundary, preparing to retaliate when the roar of an engine suddenly sounded nearby.

Like someone flooring the accelerator while in neutral gear, producing such noise.

Turning toward the sound, they saw a white G-Class parked in the yard’s rear, facing their direction, with someone in the driver’s seat, indistinct due to reflection but visibly engaging the gear.

A foot on the pedal brought the roar, as they were startled by the sound, Shen Xun shockingly realized this car was charging toward him with no sign of slowing.
