In the Xu Shan Police Station, in the interrogation room, Zuo Si wore a pained expression, his hands resting on the table, the exquisite silver bracelets on his wrists glaringly bright.
Li Feng sat opposite Zuo Si, having put in some effort to intimidate him.
The investigation into Ding Hero’s case was still unresolved, and who would have thought another spirit-sensing livestreamer would show up? To prevent Zuo Si from causing trouble in the future, he had to be taught a lesson.
“Name!”
“Zuo Si…”
“Gender!”
“Female…”
“Hmm?” Li Feng raised an eyebrow, his hand holding the pen pausing momentarily.
“Haha… Male, male!” Zuo Si laughed nervously, forcing a smile.
Bang! Li Feng slammed the table and stood up.
He shouted, “I’m telling you, kid, you better be honest with me! Otherwise, you’ll regret it later!”
“I haven’t slept all night, my brain’s a bit fuzzy. Please don’t be angry, don’t be angry; anger is harmful to your health!”
“Home address!” Li Feng shot Zuo Si an exasperated glance and sat back down.
“East Suburb, Happy Garden.”
“What are you doing all the way down in the South Suburb?”
“Don’t you already know why I’m here?” Zuo Si pouted and yawned.
Bang! Li Feng slammed the table again.
He growled, “Answer me honestly!”
Zuo Si immediately straightened up, even though he was extremely tired, he at least had to handle this interrogation properly.
He hadn’t done anything wrong, so he didn’t feel guilty.
“Since I promised Meng Miaoxue I would help her, I might as well take this opportunity to mention her case.”
After a brief pause, Zuo Si spoke up, “Officer Li, actually, I came here mainly to investigate a murder case from over a decade ago.”
Li Feng raised an eyebrow, Zuo Si’s answer was completely unexpected.
He scrutinized Zuo Si suspiciously, his brow furrowing deeper as he said, “You were still in diapers over a decade ago, right? How would you know about a case from back then!? If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll really detain you!”
“I-I’m not joking,” Zuo Si said, looking aggrieved as he reached into his pocket and carefully pulled out the surgical document.
Li Feng stepped forward to take it.
“Be careful, be careful, don’t break it!” Zuo Si warned; this document was unique, and if it got destroyed, he would have no proof, making it hard for anyone to believe him.
Seeing Zuo Si’s serious demeanor, Li Feng was extra cautious.
After sitting back down, he stared at the document for a long time but couldn’t figure out what was off about it.
After all, Li Feng wasn’t that old, just a few years older than Zuo Si, and he had been transferred from another area, so he had no idea what had happened at You Ren Hospital in the past.
“What is this?” Li Feng asked, puzzled; it was just a surgical document, what did it have to do with a murder case?
“Ask an old officer from Xu Shan; he might know what this is,” Zuo Si suggested, knowing Li Feng’s reaction was expected.
“Wait here.” Since it involved a murder case, Li Feng didn’t dare to be careless and immediately left the interrogation room.
Zuo Si, feeling a bit bored, took out his black phone.
“In the mandatory task, I need to have my own haunted house within seventy-two hours, and it must have a soul residing in it.”
“But where do I find a soul???” Zuo Si rubbed his chin in thought.
He remembered that there were three Daily Tasks under the mandatory task, one of which had the word ‘recommended’ next to it.
If he wasn’t mistaken,
that one-star task ‘Screaming Hospital’ was likely related to You Ren Hospital.
“If I’m right, completing the Daily Tasks should allow the haunted house to get a soul, since there are no other tasks besides these three Daily Tasks.”
“Could it be that after I help Meng Miaoxue get justice, she will come back to the haunted house with me?”
“Completing the Daily Tasks grants corresponding scene rewards, and that scene reward is likely the ghosts from You Ren Hospital.”
“Opening a haunted house, using real ghosts to scare people, and I don’t even have to pay them… Haha, thinking about it is quite exciting.”
With that thought, Zuo Si directly accepted the one-star task ‘Screaming Hospital.’
“Dear Soul Keeper, congratulations on successfully accepting the task.”
“Suffering souls, helpless screams, lonely grievances linger on, waiting for your redemption.”
“Task location: South Suburb You Ren Hospital.”
“Task objective: Achieved.”
“Task completion: 50%”
“Dear Soul Keeper, congratulations on surviving until dawn, earning five hundred Fear Points as a reward.”
Tip: When task completion reaches 70%, unlock the horror scene of You Ren Hospital.
Scene horror index: ★.
“???” Zuo Si was a bit confused: “Did I just complete it right after accepting it?”
He examined the black phone and said, “This phone’s tasks are quite user-friendly; it’s worth all the dangers I faced last night.”
“I wonder how many points the lucky draw requires?”
Zuo Si found the lucky draw section and discovered that one draw actually required one thousand points!!
“What the heck, I risked my life all night, and I can’t even draw!”
He slumped over the table, wanting to take a nap.
But just then, the door to the interrogation room was pushed open.
Li Feng walked in, followed by a burly middle-aged police officer.
“Captain Niu, the surgical document was given to me by him,” Li Feng said politely to the middle-aged officer.
Captain Niu nodded slightly and sat down opposite Zuo Si, wearing a friendly smile.
“Young man, where did you get this surgical document? When did you get it?”
“You Ren Hospital, last night,” Zuo Si replied without hesitation.
“Do you know Meng Miaoxue?” Captain Niu asked seriously.
“No.”
“Then why are you investigating a murder case from over a decade ago?”
“Uh…” Zuo Si was momentarily at a loss for words; he couldn’t just report his experiences from last night, right? No one would believe him.
But he couldn’t lie either.
After thinking for a moment, he said, “Last night, I went to You Ren Hospital to livestream, and by chance, I found this surgical document. Coincidentally, the viewers in the livestream recognized the name on it and found it a bit suspicious, so…”
After listening to Zuo Si’s words, Captain Niu furrowed his brow. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Little brother, I won’t hide it from you, the five deceased on this document all died in incidents fifteen years ago, and their deaths were very suspicious. I was involved in these cases, but in the end, they all went unresolved.”
“Then… how did Meng Miaoxue die?” Zuo Si couldn’t help but ask.
“At the time, it was determined to be a medical accident,” Captain Niu replied without hesitation; he remembered these cases vividly and would never forget them.
“Absolutely impossible!” Zuo Si directly denied it.
Captain Niu didn’t refute him because he had always felt something was off about this matter, especially with this surgical document, which was completely different from what the hospital provided fifteen years ago.
“Why are you so sure?”
“Because… because… intuition!” Zuo Si slammed the table: “My intuition is usually very accurate.”
