Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 239 - 212: The Legendary Ghost Building

Finally got rid of that Shen Xun, but Wen Xu didn’t feel relieved at all. There were only the two of them in the car, and because neither of them spoke, the atmosphere was particularly gloomy.

He should have enjoyed this kind of atmosphere.

He was always the one who refused to talk when alone with someone.

Even if there was any chatter in the room he was in, it would only irritate him greatly.

But today, it felt overly quiet.

So quiet that he impatiently wished for some sound to immediately break it.

After a pause, as a red light ended, he turned on the left turn signal and asked casually, "That..." He frowned, thinking for a while, but couldn’t recall Shen Xun’s name, so he asked differently, "What does that person just now do?"

Coincidentally or not, just as he spoke, an ultra-long red light appeared ahead, forcing him to wait in place.

Having nothing else to do, he awkwardly didn’t know where to put his hands and just pretended to calmly tap his fingers on the steering wheel.

While his heart surged with emotion, he had to pretend everything was calm.

That person just now?

Mu Yunchu thought he must be referring to Shen Xun.

But what does he do...

Mu Yunchu didn’t think much about why Wen Xu asked about this but still told him, "I don’t know."

"Don’t know?" Wen Xu turned his head, looking at Mu Yunchu, blurting out, "Didn’t his business card say?"

"He did give me a business card."

Wen Xu felt that Mu Yunchu’s speaking speed seemed particularly slow today.

Mu Yunchu shook her head, "But I didn’t see it."

Wen Xu was about to ask why she hadn’t seen it when she continued to speak.

"You can ask Captain Zhou; he has that card."

Wen Xu quickly understood what happened when he hadn’t seen it.

He didn’t ask further.

Before withdrawing his gaze, he lowered his eyes for a moment, covering up the fleeting joy in his eyes. As the light turned green, he shifted gears and stepped on the gas, his face indifferent, yet unable to suppress the slight upward curve of his mouth.

...

With the gas pedal to the floor, Wen Xu and others arrived at Nanxiang District at the fastest speed, where Hu Chi and others were waiting in the yard, having already set up the cordon in advance.

Checking the time again for the umpteenth time, Hu Chi wondered, "Why isn’t Forensic Wen here yet?"

He never felt that Wen Xu drove this slowly before.

"Could something have happened on the road?"

As soon as the words fell, Wen Xu’s eye-catching car appeared before everyone, and they all silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Zhicheng explained without thinking, "I guess it’s because Wen Xu had that car accident a while back, so there might still be some shadows."

It’s understandable to drive a bit slower.

As long as they arrived safely.

Once they got out of the car, Zhou Zhicheng stepped forward, pointing to the unit door behind them, "This is the place."

They hadn’t gone up immediately to avoid disturbing the scene. After all, sometimes the crime scene environment, such as the flies around the body, is very important for Wen Xu to estimate the time of the crime.

...

From the outside, everyone could somewhat understand why others called it the ’Ghost Building.’

It was bright daylight, yet the building was pitch black, giving a very oppressive feeling at a glance. Even if you weren’t Mu Yunchu, just a common person without knowledge, you’d inexplicably feel uncomfortable staying here at this moment.

The building’s length was nearly four or five times that of the buildings they usually encountered, and at a glance, one small window next to another wasn’t like a building, more like a prison without bars.

Entering the hallway, a gloomy feeling rushed forth. Outside still had sunlight, but it was unbearably cold inside. Everyone couldn’t help but take a cold breath.

The layout inside was different from a normal building, with eight floors and no elevator.

There were at least a dozen rooms on each side of a floor entrance, somewhat resembling current hotels or apartments.

The group managed to climb the stairs, and following the address Mu Yunchu provided, they finally confirmed a dark red wooden door.

From the outside, it seemed no different from other rooms.

Before entering, Zhou Zhicheng observed closely, "This entire floor seems to be uninhabited."

More accurately, from when they arrived until now, just a handful of households showed any signs of life. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Liu Cheng, living here regularly, had virtually no chance of running into a neighbor, making it impossible for anyone to have an impression of him.

Opening the door, a stench hit. It was different from the rotting corpse smell they imagined, more like the smell near a summer garbage bin.

Looking around, they indeed spotted several piles of food waste at least a few days old by the balcony.

Hu Chi waved the air in front of him, "What’s going on? Does Liu Cheng not take out the trash?"

Zhou Zhicheng speculated he might have been afraid of drawing attention to himself, so he minimized going out, resulting in garbage piling up at home.

Thinking the trash was just the ’appetizer,’ the officers entered in sequence.

It was a strangely designed apartment with one bedroom and one living room. The living room only had a small table with a few empty beer cans and some scattered daily items.

But the bedroom was astonishing; in a twenty-square-meter space, aside from an extremely shabby wooden single bed, there were only two massive freezers still apparently functioning.

Those present were experienced detectives, and upon scanning the room, they focused on the freezers.

"No need to say, looks like we’re opening another ’mystery box’ this time."

Whether whole or in pieces.

After photographing everything around, at Zhou Zhicheng’s command, they lifted the freezer lid.

Actually, before opening, Zhou Zhicheng already had a guess about the person inside.

Which was the apartment’s original owner, registered as Lu Jun, a fifty-year-old bachelor. Similarly a socially marginalized person without work or family.

He guessed Liu Cheng might have killed Lu Jun to take over the apartment and froze the deceased Lu Jun in the freezer.

However, upon opening the freezer and seeing who lay inside, Zhou Zhicheng was stunned.

Not just their appearance, but even the age didn’t match at all.

The records showed Lu Jun was balding, yet this person had lush hair and appeared to be a thirty-something young man.

"It’s not Lu Jun?"

How could there be another body!

"Then who is this?"

Zhou Zhicheng instinctively searched for Mu Yunchu’s gaze but found that ever since they entered the room, the latter hadn’t followed them but instead was earnestly searching for something in the room.
