Mysterious resurrection, something's wrong with this guy.

Chapter 25: The Ghostly Fire Boy

Back at the Security Bureau, Su Qin put the body bag into the safe in the Security Bureau's warehouse, and then followed Captain Liu to review the relevant documents.

"All the information is here, including the two victims from this morning, but the autopsy report won't be available anytime soon. Autopsies are currently underway."

There was a thick stack of documents on the desk, significantly more than the one Su Qin had seen last time. He pulled out a document from the bottom and began to read it carefully.

The information is very detailed, describing all the important information about the victim before his death, especially in recent times, even detailing what he ate and did.

This caused Su Qin a lot of trouble, making him dizzy and lightheaded, but he had no choice but to keep reading. These materials might contain some key information, especially information about supernatural events, and he couldn't miss any detail.

Su Qin studied the documents from 10 a.m. until the afternoon, and almost fell asleep several times. If he hadn't drunk several cups of coffee, he wouldn't have been able to stay awake until he finished reading them.

Captain Liu, as the head of the criminal investigation team, had many cases to handle and had long since disappeared.

Su Qin leaned back in his office chair, rubbing his sore eyes, pondering the characteristics of the deceased.

"This is such a hassle. I should have known better than to take on this hot potato. I can't find a single trace of it. How am I supposed to deal with it?"

He had read through all the materials, none of which mentioned anything about the supernatural. They only recorded some trivial matters about the victims before their deaths and detailed reports of their deaths.

Everything seemed normal, with no apparent problem, but the detailed death report revealed something entirely wrong.

All the deceased had one thing in common: the time of death didn't match up. Many of them were clearly just discovered dead, but judging from the degree of decomposition, they had definitely been dead for several days.

In other words, these people had died several days ago, but just days before they were living like normal people and even trading goods in large quantities.

At that moment, Captain Liu strode into the office with two documents in his hand.

"The autopsy reports for the two victims this morning are out, and the cause of death is the same as that of the previous victims."

Captain Liu looked worried. These antique dealers were all prominent figures in Tianjin. The sudden deaths of so many put him under considerable pressure.

Su Qin took the two autopsy reports, glanced at them casually, and put them down. There was no point in looking at them anymore; they couldn't find any useful clues.

Has the deceased's family been notified?

I'd like to meet them and ask them a few questions.

If no clues can be found on the dead, then the only way is to look for them on the living. Naturally, the people who know the dead best are their families.

"They're here. The deceased's family is still making a scene outside the morgue. We've just calmed them down."

Captain Liu felt a headache coming on just thinking about the two family members of the deceased. They were both incredibly noisy and annoying. However, since Su Qin had something to ask, Captain Liu still made a trip in person and brought the two family members of the deceased over.

A few minutes later, Captain Liu entered the office with two beautifully dressed women.

"These two women are the wives of the two deceased. The deceased were not locals, and other family members could not come, and they had not had much contact with the deceased recently."

Liu Furong patiently explained, avoiding any unnecessary mistakes.

If he hadn't explained, Su Qin would have thought that the two women were the daughters of the deceased, since both of them were quite old. However, it's quite normal for wealthy people to have young and beautiful wives.

The two young and beautiful widows also behaved strangely. They came to the police station dressed so seductively after their husbands died. Anyone who didn't know them would think they were there for a date. They didn't seem to be very sad, but they still forced a few tears out of their eyes.

"I want to know if your husbands have shown any unusual behavior recently. Any detail could be related to the case, so please think back carefully."

Although the two women did not know Su Qin's identity, they guessed that he was a member of the police force, and his rank might be even higher than that of Liu Furong, the criminal police captain. They did not resist and cooperated well, trying to recall some recent events.

After a moment of recollection, one of the women spoke uncertainly:

"He never lets me get involved in business matters, but he seems to have become busier lately and has spent a lot of money on inventory, though I don't know the specifics."

She truly didn't know; she usually didn't concern herself with men's affairs, so there were many things she didn't understand, not even her own husband.

The other woman thought about it carefully and realized that she knew about the same thing, so she casually added:

"Does something unusual in your daily life count?"

As she spoke, her face flushed slightly, clearly indicating that she was thinking about something private that she couldn't say outright.

"Of course it counts. Many details in life can also hide important information. The more detailed the better. Don't be shy, we won't expose your privacy."

Su Qin assured her and gestured for her to continue.

The woman continued somewhat awkwardly:

"My husband is almost fifty, but he is very healthy. However, he seems to be having some issues lately, but he is also very sexually active and has been trying all sorts of things. It's like he's become a different person."

Moreover, I discovered that he could actually speak some foreign languages. He used to seem unable to read a single word, but in crucial moments, he would involuntarily utter some foreign words.

As she recounted these details, the woman beside her looked at her with astonishment, as if she had discovered something strange. After a moment of contemplation, she abruptly added:

"That's strange, my husband seems to be like that too."

Su Qin and Captain Liu had been carefully observing the two women, but they found no signs of them lying. They could also read the shock in their expressions, which was probably because they were shocked that their husbands had so many similarities.

This is indeed a very strange thing. Captain Liu is very experienced in this kind of thing. Everyone has their own preferences, and even when doing the same thing, there will be obvious differences. These similarities in details are obviously not normal.

Unless they are the same person.

Captain Liu shook his head vigorously, immediately finding the idea absurd.

Su Qin's face gradually darkened.

"Thank you for your cooperation. The information you provided is crucial. We will notify you once the investigation results are available."

These details of life are unique behaviors of each person, and are usually related to a person's psychology. They will always have unique aspects, and it is basically impossible for such a coincidence to happen.

He had an uncertain guess in his mind: based on the abnormality of the body and the description of the family members, the deceased may have been exposed to the supernatural two weeks ago, which caused some psychological impact on them.

Or perhaps, they became ghost slaves.

Ghost Slave: This is a special ability that only vengeful ghosts possessing the power of the underworld can use.

Only in this way can the issue of the same time of death and the same behavior be explained.

But a new problem arises: ghost slaves completely controlled by vengeful spirits are clearly different from living people, and it is unlikely that they would live like normal people, let alone do that kind of thing with their wives.

Could it be that the ghost controlling them is a lecherous ghost? Or perhaps it possesses the mind of a living person?

Upon thinking of this, Su Qin shuddered. He immediately felt it was absurd; how could such a terrifying thing exist? There must be some mistake.

"Captain Liu, notify all antique dealers in Jinshi to come to the station tomorrow. I want to ask them something in person."

Su Qin always felt that there was something wrong with these antique dealers. Since it was the antique dealers who had problems, it was hard to guarantee that the other antique dealers would also have problems.

Captain Liu looked troubled, but swallowed his words. These prominent businessmen were not so easy to invite, but they were very necessary.

"You should all go back now! We will investigate this case as soon as possible and give you a satisfactory answer!"

Upon hearing Captain Liu's assurances, the two family members forced out a few more tears.

"Captain Liu, my husband died a terrible death. He was just an honest businessman. You must get justice for us! If the murderer is caught, he must be executed..."

The two family members cried and made a scene for a while before Captain Liu finally took them away from the office.

"Mr. Su, let's call it a day! You've had a long day. I've arranged a hotel for you, so I'll take you to rest. We can continue the investigation tomorrow."

Normally, a special envoy like Su Qin would be treated to good food and drink on his first day in Jinshi. Why would they be so eager to get him involved in the case investigation? Besides, he had just finished dealing with a special incident that morning, and all his teammates had died. Now was the time for him to rest.

However, the case was too complicated, and they were worried that Su Qin would leave Jinshi immediately, so they had no choice but to do this.

Su Qin rubbed his eyes and did not refuse Captain Liu's kindness. He really needed to rest and wanted to figure out his current physical condition. He really needed a quiet place.

"Okay, I've basically finished reviewing the materials. I need to get some rest. Thank you for your help, Captain Liu."

dong dong dong~

Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and a clerical worker walked in, leaned close to Captain Liu's ear, and whispered something.

Immediately, Captain Liu's face fell, his eyes blazing with anger, and even the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he had heard something infuriating.

"Mr. Su, I need to take care of something first. Please wait a moment, I'll come back to pick you up later."

Captain Liu greeted Su Qin apologetically and then hurriedly left the office.

A full hour passed before Captain Liu returned to his office. As soon as he entered, he put on a smiling face again. Su Qin didn't ask him what had happened. She followed Captain Liu out of the office and downstairs, eventually getting into his car.

Su Qin sat in the back of the car, where a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old was also sitting. This boy looked about seven or eight parts like Captain Liu, except that he had a yellowish-brown bowl cut, wore strange tight clothes and pants, and exaggerated loafers.

"Dad! My will-o'-the-wisp is still being held by the traffic police. Can you help me get it back?"

Even at this point, the young man with the ghost fire was still thinking about his cool ghost fire motorcycle.

Captain Liu, who had taken the driver's seat, turned around and glared fiercely at the boy with the ghost fire. His eyes seemed to be spitting fire, but he caught sight of Su Qin sitting in the back seat out of the corner of his eye, so he could only suppress his anger.

Su Qin, sitting in the back row, couldn't help but laugh. Although the two looked very similar, Su Qin still couldn't connect this exaggeratedly dressed boy with the police captain. He never expected that this person would be his son.

Su Qin finally understood why the composed criminal police captain was suddenly so angry; it turned out that his troublesome son had caused him trouble again.

This was, after all, a family matter, so Su Qin didn't ask any more questions and simply leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Half an hour later, the car slowly stopped next to an upscale residential area.

"Mr. Su, I'm so sorry, I have some personal matters to attend to, so I can't see you in. You can just go to the front desk to check in; I've already made all the arrangements."

Captain Liu turned around and explained to Su Qin while glaring fiercely at the boy with the ghost fire.

The boy with the will-o'-the-wisp seemed to realize something was wrong, and his will to survive grew stronger.

"Big brother! Look how late it is, why don't you come over to my house for a bit? We can have dinner there too. My mom's a great cook, and my aunt's home too, she..."

Although the boy with the will-o'-the-wisp was mischievous, he wasn't stupid. This seemingly cold person seemed to have quite a background, and his father seemed to be very afraid of him. If he could be invited to the house, he would probably be safe today. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Captain Liu.

"Shut up, mistress. I'll deal with you when we get back. Mr. Su needs to rest now, so stop causing him trouble."

Captain Liu reprimanded Su Qin in a low voice for a few moments, then apologized to him with a smile.

"Mr. Su, it's my fault for not being a good host. Please go to the hotel and rest. I'll treat you to a welcome dinner tomorrow."

Su Qin simply smiled slightly, then opened the car door and headed towards the luxury hotel across the street.

After Su Qin left, the boy sitting in the back row felt like the sky had fallen, and he trembled with fear.

With no outsiders present, Captain Liu's fiery temper seemed to suddenly erupt.

"You unfilial son! I've only been away from home for a few days, look at the state you've become! Are you trying to drive me crazy? Not only did you skip school, but you also dared to race cars with others. If I don't beat you to death today, I'm not a Liu!"

As he spoke, Captain Liu couldn't wait to pull out the Seven Wolves sword from his waist, wanting the young man with the ghost fire to taste its power. However, the seat of the vehicle prevented him from using it freely.

The boy, terrified, frantically dodged back and forth in the cramped back seat of the car, pleading for mercy in a panic.

"Dad, don't hit him! Don't hit him! It'll be so embarrassing if people see you like this, especially in public..."
