Chapter 196 Hot Search
"Has it been dealt with?" Yu Ning asked.
From her angle, she only saw Lin Zheng talking to someone, but couldn't hear what he said.
"Well, don't worry."
Seeing how confident he was, Yu Ning stopped asking. In her heart, he had always been a reliable person, so she naturally trusted him with such trivial matters.
The two entered the hotel and found the room as Xiaofang said. They went there smoothly.
The person had not checked out yet, so Yu Ning went to the door and knocked, but no one answered. Just then the housekeeper came over and recognized Lin Zheng.
"Open the door." Lin Zheng pointed to the door.
The housekeeper hesitated for two seconds, then took out the room card and opened the door.
President Lin’s face is still very useful.
With a drip, the door opened. When the housekeeper opened the door, Yu Ning immediately smelled a different scent.
He pulled Lin Zheng back two steps.
The butler walked in front and just as he opened the door, he saw the person hanging in the middle.
"what!!!!"
the housekeeper screamed.
"Call the police." Yu Ning made a prompt decision.
She smelled death as soon as she entered the door.
The smell of dirt was more obvious to her than the smell of a corpse.
The curtains were drawn in the house, and visibility was poor in the dim room. As light poured in from the open door, everyone saw the person in the middle, or to be more precise, a corpse.
It's the jeweler.
There was a rope hanging around his neck, and his feet were slightly off the ground, making him look like he was hanging himself. The strange thing was that he had a contented smile on his face.
Various strange symbols were smeared on the light-colored wallpaper in the room with red unknown liquid, and there were several candles of different heights in the four corners.
Such a scene makes people feel cold and shudder.
It was like a strange ceremony was being held.
This is the formation Xiaofang mentioned.
This ceremony was not from the mainland, and Yu Ning had never seen it before, but there was a symbol that looked very familiar to her.
While waiting for the police to arrive, Yu Ning dragged Lin Zheng to a deserted place to talk in private.
"Have we seen the symbol on the wall in the upper left corner of the room?"
Yu Ning took out the photos she had taken and showed them to Lin Zheng.
"It looks familiar - Kumantong?" Lin Zheng remembered.
That small symbol seemed to have been seen in the confiscated Kumantong villa.
"Yes, you are right." Yu Ning also remembered that she had indeed seen him there. Following this line of thought, she remembered it again.
"There are similar symbolic ornaments next to the tree with fruits hidden in the T Country Hotel."
These are things hidden in the fragments of memory. I can’t remember them on a normal day, but I can only remember them when I connect the dots.
"Is it possible that this is actually an organization?" Lin Zheng asked Yu Ning.
Yu Ning thought about it and nodded.
In fact, when she was dealing with the Kumantong, she could feel that things were not over yet.
In the Kumantong incident, the stronghold that she destroyed was just a grassroots sales force, and there were people above them.
But the clues were cut off at that time, so we didn't continue the investigation.
"What happened to this deceased person? Can we summon his soul over to ask about the situation?" Lin Zheng asked.
Yu Ning shook her head. "Most of his soul was taken away, leaving only a little remnant. He has no consciousness or memory anymore." Yu Ning put that little bit of soul into her soul bag.
She was just waiting to leave the hotel and then hand over this little soul to the underworld. She had reported the case in the world of the living, and she had to report it in the underworld as well.
Yu Ning analyzed that the jeweler had brought this upon himself.
He had approached Amber before, wanting to exchange Sun Lanying's life for wealth. After being rejected by Amber, he contacted the evil cultivator holding the skull bowl. This evil cultivator did things in a very unkind way.
After receiving the money from the jeweler, he tried to collect Sun Lanying's soul, but Sun Lanying escaped death because she had the amulet given by Yu Ning.
Then, the evil cultivator took the jeweler's life.
"My analysis is that once the bowl in the evil cultivator's hand is activated, a soul must be offered as a tribute, otherwise it cannot be taken back. He cannot get Sun Lanying's soul intact, so he can only take the jeweler's life." Yu Ning analyzed.
"Such an evil magic weapon cannot be allowed to remain in the world." Lin Zheng felt quite disgusted.
Not to mention this function, just running around with a skull in your arms is pretty annoying.
"All major highway exits are blocked. He can't pass security checks, and can't take the high-speed train or plane."
Lin Zheng's idea was approved by Yu Ning, thanks to the new era of security inspection.
The reason why the corpse-driving people in Xiangxi declined is related to this.
With a comprehensive security system and the threat of Sky Eyes everywhere, you can't just walk around the world with a dead body.
By the same token, since the evil cultivator was carrying the skull bowl, he definitely couldn't take the high-speed train or plane, so the only means of transportation he could use was the car.
"Xiaofang said that his strength is not as good as mine, which means he can't shrink the distance into an inch. As long as we trap him in traffic, we will catch him sooner or later." Yu Ning is determined to catch this evil cultivator.
That bowl must be destroyed no matter what.
The police arrived quickly and were very surprised to see that the person who reported the case was Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng’s explanation is also impeccable.
He was invited. The daughter of his wife's teacher had a connection with the jeweler. He and his wife came to ask the jeweler for an explanation, but when they arrived they saw that the person was dead.
The hotel’s surveillance also proved this; Lin Zheng came in after the person died.
However, apart from the jeweler, the hotel surveillance did not capture anyone else. The evil cultivator must have used a special method to avoid the surveillance.
The forensic doctor came and made a preliminary assessment, and it was determined that the jeweler committed suicide.
No traces of other people were found at the scene, and the person met the characteristics of suicide. The strange formation set up at the scene made people think that the jeweler believed in something he shouldn't have believed in, became mentally ill, and committed suicide.
Although Yu Ning knew that there was another hidden story, the result of the case as it appeared on the surface was indeed like this.
She couldn't tell the investigators that the jeweler chose to hang himself because his soul was controlled by someone. No one would believe it.
After spending a whole morning in the hotel, Yu Ning and Lin Zheng came out of the hotel with their cell phones ringing non-stop.
The person who called Yu Ning was Teacher Ma.
She had just learned that her daughter had an accident, and asked Yu Ning if there was any way to summon her spirit. She cried so hard that she almost fainted.
Teacher Ma, who used to be a disbeliever, instantly turned into a devout believer after encountering the incident.
Yu Ning just comforted her, saying that they were already looking for it and it would take some time, and asked her not to get angry.
Lin Laosan is going crazy looking for Lin Zheng.
"Brother, you're on the hot search! Second brother asked the PR department to issue a press release, and I can't stop him!"
Lin Ke and Lin Hai each have their own public relations teams.
When Lin Laosan’s team saw it, they immediately wanted to suppress the trending searches and make a decision after contacting Lin Zheng.
As a result, Lin Laoer made an official announcement and the hot searches immediately went viral.
A photo of him and Yu Ning hugging each other in front of the hotel was released.
During that short hour when he couldn't contact Lin Zheng, Lin Laosan was going crazy.
"Oh, let me see - damn!" Lin Zheng clicked on the trending search and cursed directly.
This second guy really deserves a beating!
