Postmortem Appointment - C106

Ah Xue said in surprise when she saw this shoe. She still wanted to reach for it after she finished speaking.

If this had not happened, I would definitely have thought that someone was purposely playing a prank on me. But now, after seeing this pair of blood-red embroidered shoes, my heart couldn’t help but feel a chill as I hastily grabbed onto Ah Xue’s hand.

The Ah Xue immediately turned her head and looked at me weirdly. Her face was filled with suspicion, and at the same time, Bai Hua had already pasted a Talisman Paper onto that shoe, and then carefully placed the shoe into a grey bag with a Tai Chi diagram drawn on it.

When I was in the illusion of a ghost returning to its soul, I saw Jin Weilong use this kind of bag before.

“We didn’t get in the car earlier, maybe that kid was playing a prank on us!”

Her eyes were calm, as if nothing had happened at all. I truly admire her acting, and after Ah Xue heard her words, she nodded his head, completely disregarded it and sat in the car.

I hastily sat beside the Ah Xue and looked towards Bai Hua. Only then did I see the complex expression on Bai Hua’s face.

“Zhang Yu’s shoes are really exquisite, it looks like a mandarin duck was embroidered on them.” When I just got on the car, I heard Ah Xue whispering in my ear. I turned my head in shock, and realised that she was still looking at Bai Hua’s Qiankun bag with embroidered shoes. However, when she saw me turn my head to look at her, she turned her head and smiled towards me with narrowed eyes.

Bai Hua’s driving skills can be considered top-notch. After half an hour, she safely brought Ah Xue to the entrance of the small district where we lived in. I watched as Ah Xue walked into the small district before allowing Bai Hua to drive away.

“What’s wrong with those shoes? Why do I feel like they’re a bit strange? The color isn’t right, and they always look a bit strange.” Looking at the rapidly retreating plants on both sides of the road, I suddenly felt uneasy. Something bad was about to happen.

“If you keep improving, I can consider hiring you to be my assistant. Otherwise, you can acknowledge me as your teacher, and I won’t charge you tuition!”

Bai Hua chuckled. Although she was forcing it, it had finally livened up the atmosphere in the carriage. She teased me before continuing, “I’m guessing that the ghost that hurt Jin Weilong is provoking us.

Although I had felt that there was something wrong with this shoe a long time ago, I still hadn’t connected it with the female ghost in the case. It seemed that Bai Hua had thought about it much more than me.

The car drove all the way to the entrance of the police station, and just as the car stopped, I saw Police Officer Liu standing in front of the door of the police station.

After we got out of the car, Police Officer Liu immediately greeted Bai Hua, and then looked at me warily.

It was only then that I remembered. Although we had already seen the illusion of a ghost many times, in reality, we had never seen one before, so he didn’t recognize me at all.

“This is the assistant, Zhang Yu.” Bai Hua naturally thought of this, and said anxiously.

Police Officer Liu nodded his head and said: “Since you guys want to see where Mr. Jin met with mishap, then I will bring you guys there. But you all have to agree that this matter has nothing to do with the police, I am personally looking for you to solve this case and I will take the reward.

“Of course, don’t worry. I know what your difficulties are!”

Bai Hua nodded her head anxiously and pulled me into the carriage. Police Officer Liu sat in the front seat and gave Bai Hua directions.

The car flew in the air and finally stopped in front of a hotel. Seeing this hotel, my heart couldn’t help but thump, because when Bai Hua and I were in the world of ghost souls, we almost lost our lives here.

“Mr. Jin fainted in room 301 of this hotel. He still hasn’t woken up yet.”

Police Officer Liu didn’t notice anything wrong between Bai Hua and I as he pointed worriedly towards the hotel.

“Since I’m already here, I might as well go in and take a look. After all, this isn’t that world. I’d like to see what kind of thing occupies this place!”

Bai Hua sneered. Although I saw that her expression was unnatural, she still smiled as she got out of the car and turned to speak to me.

Since she has already said so, there’s nothing left for me to decline. Thus, I decided to go down with her.

However, our hearts are also beating a little, because the ghosts in this room are the only ones that haven’t been taken back by us. The reason is very simple, even if we used all our strength, we still wouldn’t be able to defeat them.

The manager of the hotel obviously knew Police Officer Liu, so he didn’t say much and gave us his key.

The three of us sat in the elevator, and in less than two minutes, we arrived at the entrance of that room. Because Jin Weilong had fainted not long ago, there was temporarily no one living in this room.

Police Officer Liu took the key, neatly opened the door, and took the lead to enter.

After Bai Hua and I saw that he was safe and sound, we also followed him into the room.

Upon closer inspection, the structure of the room was exactly the same as what we had seen in the illusion of a ghost’s soul. Even the color of the curtains on the bed was basically the same as the room in the illusion of a ghost’s soul.

At this moment, a cold wind blew from behind me and I couldn’t help but shiver. I turned my head in surprise and saw that the windows of the room weren’t closed.

I hurried over to the window and was about to close it when I saw a drawing on the windowsill.

These words were mounted on a scroll and tied into a ball, but from the outside, it looked like an ancient painting.

I looked at it over and over, and then somehow opened it up.

“Zhang Yu, quickly throw that painting away!” Just then, Bai Hua suddenly shouted excitedly at me, but it was already too late, as I had already opened the painting and read the contents inside.

What surprised me was that this painting depicted a magnificent palace. It couldn’t be considered the best palace I’ve ever seen because it wasn’t as grand as the old palace, but it always looked like it had an immortal aura hidden within the layers of clouds. It was faintly discernible, making one feel infatuated, as if it didn’t belong to this world at all.
