Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 379 - 362: Blood Curse
But the words Mu Yunchu spoke struck him like a bolt of lightning directly in his mind.
"It might not be because of a grudge."
Wei Xianzhong: ?
"It could also be because she had something the person needed." Mu Yunchu’s expression darkened, and the color of her pupils grew dimmer.
Wei Xianzhong: !
"What do you mean..."
Mu Yunchu did not answer but walked around Hong Jingxue.
She said, "I’ve read in ancient texts about an evil technique where the victim dies just like this."
Wei Xianzhong listened attentively.
He stared at her eagerly.
Unfortunately, it seemed Mu Yunchu had no plans to ’reveal’ the truth just yet.
"But there are some things I need to confirm first." She looked at Wei Xianzhong, "I want to talk to the people around Hong Jingxue."
This was not something Wei Xianzhong could handle himself.
But he could help Mu Yunchu get in touch with the police.
So, after Mu Yunchu made this request, he immediately called the department chief at the police station.
Then, an unexpected person showed up.
Zhou Zhicheng grumbled as he drove over, bringing Hong Jingxue’s assistant who had been with her.
He was shocked to see the people in front of him.
"Mu Yunchu?"
His gaze shifted to the side.
"Dr. Wen?"
Then he turned to look at the person he brought, suddenly understanding, "Ah..."
"So that’s it."
That explained it.
No wonder the department chief personally called him to ensure he brought the person here.
That’s why.
After all, they were all acquaintances, so he wasn’t surprised Mu Yunchu was there, but... Wen Xu’s presence puzzled him the most.
However, now was obviously not the time to ask about this.
So, after delivering the person, he greeted them and left.
Before leaving, he glanced at Wen Xu several more times.
That look was as if he had discovered a new continent.
After he left, Mu Yunchu had a private conversation with the assistant who supposedly ’never left Hong Jingxue’s side.’
The girl was clearly very nervous.
She couldn’t understand why she was being brought to the police station for the second time.
"Don’t be nervous."
"We’re not suspecting you of being the murderer."
"There are just some things about Hong Jingxue that we want to confirm with you."
The assistant was momentarily stunned.
She swallowed, feeling much more at ease.
Although she knew she hadn’t killed anyone, in this situation, she couldn’t help but be nervous.
Mu Yunchu’s words greatly relieved her anxiety.
As long as she wasn’t suspected as the killer, she was content.
She had no guilt about other matters.
Mu Yunchu’s appearance and voice naturally evoked trust, so after talking for a while, the assistant returned to a normal state.
This made it much easier for Mu Yunchu to ask her questions.
This way, Mu Yunchu wouldn’t miss important clues due to her excessive nervousness.
Then, Mu Yunchu asked the assistant about Hong Jingxue’s usual habits.
"Before the incident occurred, did she exhibit any unusual behavior?"
Mu Yunchu referred to ’the incident’ as Hong Jingxue’s seemingly ’possessed’ actions on the street.
She knew exactly where the incident had occurred, right in front of her shop, and Ye Zhixia had told her that when she wasn’t around, a woman had come looking for her.
The assistant also first thought of the video’s scene.
Just as she was about to speak, Mu Yunchu lightly shook her head, "I mean, before that."
The assistant furrowed her brow, about to say that actually, unless Hong Jingxue needed her to do something, she rarely called her for anything else, suddenly remembered something.
Her eyes widened significantly.
"I..."
But she wasn’t sure if she should mention it.
"What did you remember?" Mu Yunchu lowered her voice, exerting some pressure to encourage her to speak.
"At that time, Sister Xue suddenly asked me to find a doctor to draw blood from her."
"Draw blood?"
The assistant nodded.
"How much was drawn?"
The assistant wasn’t medically trained, and when the blood was being drawn, Hong Jingxue did not let her stay in the room. She accidentally caught a glimpse later when entering the room.
"I saw that the amount was at least a bowl..."
Realizing her plain description might not be very sophisticated, she felt a bit embarrassed after speaking.
"I’m sorry, was my description inappropriate?"
Mu Yunchu’s expression grew much more serious.
A sense of authority inexplicably made the assistant wonder if she had said something wrong.
Later, Mu Yunchu asked a few more questions, but none were as shocking as Hong Jingxue having drawn a bowl of blood.
Since confirming this, her previous guesses about the overall incident were validated.
Before leaving, she suddenly asked, "Does Hong Jingxue have a fondness for occult-related things?"
The assistant blinked, "How did you know..."
"Does she often predict her fortune, or frequently contact a so-called ’master’?"
...
"You already know?" Wei Xianzhong eagerly approached when he saw Mu Yunchu return to the office.
"Sort of." Mu Yunchu was not being enigmatic; seeing Wei Xianzhong’s puzzled expression starting to show, she immediately added, "I’ve learned that before her death, Hong Jingxue gave a bowl of blood to some occult master."
Wei Xianzhong: !!!
"A bowl?"
"Blood?"
It seemed that adding such a numerical adjective to this word made it quite startling.
Who would willingly give someone a bowl of blood!
But soon he realized, "So, the person likely used Hong Jingxue’s blood for something that led to her death... but wait, that can’t be right?"
As he spoke, Wei Xianzhong felt there was something unreasonable in what he said, so before the words finished, he denied it himself.
"Why would Hong Jingxue stupidly give her blood to someone?"
"Especially so much."
"Didn’t she realize something was off!"
Mu Yunchu shared that she had a strong belief in the occult with Wei Xianzhong.
"I suspect the person may have deceived her into thinking they were setting up an array that would benefit her."
Mu Yunchu’s eyes grew cold.
Perhaps even to help her kill someone.
"But unexpectedly, the person actually needed her blood to cast a blood curse."
"Blood curse?"
Another term Wei Xianzhong didn’t quite understand.
"There are likely two possibilities for using this blood."
"One is cause and effect transfer."
During the array setup, the person transferred all their causes and effects, including aging, illness, onto Hong Jingxue.
This action would lead to her rapid death in a short time.
And the manner of her death aligns with this.
The main point is, Mu Yunchu felt this explained why when she saw Li Yunhe, he appeared much younger than his actual age.
