Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Defying Superstition_1
Jian Haiyang was confident and unafraid!
After all, he was the grandson of the Jian Family, even though he was from the second branch. But the boss of Zhonghai Patrol Team had to give face to the Jian Family.
Drinking and driving was a mere trifle to him, Jian Haiyang. Who would dare to trouble him over such a trivial matter?
To trouble him was to disrespect the Jian Family, you got that?
Song Sisi knew that reporting Jian Haiyang would be pointless, so she grabbed Qin Feng’s arm and said, "Dear, let’s go!"
Then, she forcefully dragged Qin Feng into the morgue.
Filled with jealousy and a stomach sour with envy, Jian Haiyang yelled after them, "He’s not your boyfriend, why are you holding his arm?"
"Qin Feng doesn’t mind, so why are you making such a fuss? It’s like the eunuch is more anxious than the emperor!" Song Sisi retorted.
Hearing this, Jian Haiyang’s face turned red with anger, and he couldn’t help but demand, "Are you calling me a eunuch?"
Song Sisi couldn’t be bothered with Jian Haiyang anymore and directly pulled Qin Feng into the corpse room.
Even though the lights were on, the dim lighting combined with the layout of the mortuary would make anyone who entered feel extremely uneasy.
Although Song Sisi was a tough girl who feared nothing, she couldn’t help but feel an instinctual fear upon entering the morgue, so she clung tightly to Qin Feng’s arm.
If it were just holding arms, that would’ve been fine, but she also pressed herself closely against Qin Feng. What’s more, her figure was so alluring that Qin Feng started to feel a bit itchy-hearted.
Even worse, Qin Feng tragically found that he was having some uncontrollable, reflexive reactions.
Noticing that Qin Feng’s expression was off, Song Sisi asked with a look of suspicion, "What’s wrong?"
"Uh... If you cling onto me like this, it makes it hard for me to work," said Qin Feng.
"You think I enjoy holding on to you?" Song Sisi gave Qin Feng a disdainful look, then released him, saying, "The only reason I was holding you is because I thought you might be scared, you little bastard! Otherwise, I wouldn’t care to hold on to you!"
Qin Feng couldn’t be bothered with her antics and walked over to the refrigerators.
Each of these refrigerators had a nameplate attached to the outside, listing the name and gender, and so on. Any refrigerator that had a nameplate would have a body inside.
Qin Feng casually pulled open a refrigerator to find it completely empty, without a trace of anything.
Crash!
Crash! Crash!
...
Qin Feng opened more than a dozen refrigerators, but didn’t see a single body.
"During the day, I brought the team members here to check, and all the bodies had vanished. The eeriest part is that we turned the entire building upside down and didn’t find a single clue. Also, this morgue and its surroundings were under surveillance, but all the camera feeds were just static, with nothing visible - as if it were haunted," explained Song Sisi.
This analysis made Qin Feng nod. He added, "Truly, as if it were haunted!"
"Hahaha!"
Jian Haiyang walked in laughing, a mocking look on his face as he said to Qin Feng, "Haunted? Do you think Song Sisi is some village girl from your hometown? Trying to fool her with tales of ghosts? Using such a nonsense story to deceive our Officer Song, you’re insulting her intelligence!"
Jian Haiyang couldn’t stand to see Song Sisi and Qin Feng so close and took every opportunity to ridicule them.
Seeing that his attempts to drive a wedge had no effect on Song Sisi, Jian Haiyang felt his approach might have lacked impact, so he continued to stoke the fire.
"Song Sisi, you’re working on a case right now, and you represent the Patrol Team. This guy is propagating feudal superstition right before your eyes, right here. Shouldn’t you handcuff him immediately and take him in for sentencing?"
"Heh!"
Song Sisi gave Jian Haiyang a cold laugh, then reminded him, "If Qin Feng says it’s haunted, then it’s definitely haunted here! So, you’d better leave quickly. Otherwise, if you see a ghost later and piss your pants, it would be very embarrassing."
Her words shocked Jian Haiyang; he could hardly believe them.
He stared at Song Sisi and asked, "What did you just say? You actually believe the ghost stories told by this little peasant worker from the mountains? Do you really believe this place is haunted?"
"If it wasn’t haunted, how could those corpses have disappeared without reason? If it wasn’t haunted, why would Officer Song ask me to come? She invited me here to catch ghosts!"
"You were invited to catch ghosts? So you’re a little shaman?" Jian Haiyang had an epiphany, then looked at Song Sisi with a very puzzled gaze and asked uncertainly, "Did you really invite him to catch ghosts?"
"Of course!" Song Sisi nodded and said, "Specialized matters should be dealt with by professionals. When it comes to hauntings, our Patrol Team has no one who can handle it, naturally we can only ask for the powerful assistance of Qin Feng."
"Heh! Haunted? I think you’ve been bewitched! Do ghosts even exist in this world? I admit this morgue is indeed creepy and a bit scary. But that fear, it’s all psychological, how can there be hauntings?"
As soon as Jian Haiyang finished speaking, footsteps immediately followed from behind.
Thud!
Thud thud!
...
The footsteps were crisp, like the sound of high heels on the floor, but they sounded hollow.
Moreover, the rhythm of the footsteps was odd, making one extremely uncomfortable after hearing it, as if it was ushering death.
"Do you hear the footsteps?" Qin Feng looked towards Jian Haiyang, reminding him with a smile, "The ghost is coming!"
"The ghost is coming? I think you’re just playing tricks! Do you think your petty skills can deceive others, and you want to fool me too? I’m a doctoral graduate from Oxford University, a brilliant student from a world-leading institution, do you think I’d believe the ghost stories of a little shaman like you?"
Thud!
Thud thud!
Thud thud thud!
...
The sound of high heels approached again, this time closer than before.
Although Qin Feng hadn’t seen the thing yet, he could already smell her scent; it was a female ghost approaching.
Actually, the moment he approached the building, Qin Feng had noticed something was off about it. Viewing it from a feng shui perspective, it was extremely bizarre.
Back then, Qin Feng was wondering if the construction of this building, ostensibly as a mortuary to house corpses, was actually for someone using the powerful yin energy from the stored bodies to nurture something?
Now, Qin Feng understood.
The yin energy of the corpses here was used to nourish that female ghost.
She probably hadn’t come here of her own accord; she was likely imprisoned here by someone.
However, judging from the malevolent aura emanating from the female ghost, along with her overwhelming resentful energy, she had transformed into a fierce ghost by now, likely having harmed countless lives.
