Chapter 924: The Detective Who Could See Ghosts (4)
When she walked out of the central park, the surroundings became lively.
The lights from the cars on the road shone on her. Ming Shu looked up at the traffic light.
Just as she was about to cross the road, a car suddenly drove over and stopped without any warning.
A woman came down from the car and b.u.mped into Ming Shu. She apologized hurriedly and then ran toward the pavement.
A man came down from the driver’s seat and chased the woman. The car was left on the main road just like that.
Honk honk honk…
“What the f**k, what is happening!”
The road was narrow and it was raining. Hence, there were many cars on the road and it was impossible to change lanes now. The cars behind honked for a moment. When the car in front still didn’t move, they started scolding and cursing.
“Hey, is this your car? Hurry up and move it. Why are you parking in the middle of the road. How inconsiderate of you. I am rushing for time!”
Someone saw Ming Shu standing beside the car and shouted at her after he got out of his car.
“This is not my car.” Ming Shu gave a standard smile.
“Not yours?”
The man saw the brand and model of the car. It was quite expensive. He looked at Ming Shu’s attire. Although she was dressed properly, she didn’t seem like a person who could afford this car.
“Whose car is this!?”
“This car cost a few millions, right? Did they just dump it in the middle of the road?”
“Let’s call the police…”
“Call the police…”
“So irritating. I’m rushing home.”
The scene was a mess. By the time Ming Shu finished buying her snacks, the commotion there was still not settled.
Wealthy people really knew how to play, didn’t they?
Ming Shu walked toward her office.
After walking for some distance…
She stopped and turned to look at the little boy who was following her. “Why are you following me?”
The little boy was around six years old. He was really cute. He didn’t have an umbrella so he was drenched. He looked like an abandoned puppy.
“Hungry.” The little boy pouted pitifully. He blinked his huge eyes and stared intently at the snacks in Ming Shu’s hands.
“Where are your parents?”
“I don’t know…” The little boy looked even sadder. “Sister, can you give me some food? I will repay you.”
“How are you going to repay me?” Ming Shu found it funny.
“… Hmm.” The little boy bit his fingers and said after a while, “Can I repay you with my body?”
Ming Shu: “…”
I would be arrested for that!
How dare you ask me for food!
You have evil intentions!
When did this stupid little boy start following me?
She didn’t see him when she was buying snacks or paying her bill so it should be when she came out.
Ming Shu took out her cellphone and called Chen Wen.
“Miss Qian, is there anything I can help you with?” Chen Wen was still in a confused state. He thought that Ming Shu had gotten some evidence.
“I picked up a stupid little boy.”
“Huh?” What does a stupid little boy have anything to do with the case. We are missing a baby, not a boy!
…
Chen Wen looked at the stupid little boy that was eating cup noodles. He then turned to look at Ming Shu who was eating the same brand of cup noodles. His head hurt.
Master’s wife!
Are you really not trying to fool me?
“Send this child next door later.” Chen Wen confirmed that Ming Shu picked up this child so he grabbed a policeman and gave this worder.
They were the Criminal Investigation Department.
They were not in charge of lost children.
“Caption Chen, we have found the victim’s ident.i.ty.” A policeman carried some information over and quickly summarized it. “He Lan, 23 years old. Living in this city. Just graduated one year ago and has a decent and normal family background. Lived in Huahai District. Had no partner…”
Chen Wen raised his head.
No partners?
Where did the child come from, then?
Chen Wen had invited Ming Shu over so he was trying to make a Hail Mary effort and brought Ming Shu to the victim’s house.
Huahai District was a high-cla.s.s district. Normal people would not choose to live here.
The house had two bedrooms. It was not huge but it was not small either. The house was arranged neatly.
Chen Wen scanned the room for a while. “A man lived here. Go and check if He Lan has a boyfriend.”
Ming Shu stood at the entrance and didn’t come in. She leaned against the doorframe and said, “There is no need to check. She doesn’t have a boyfriend. She was someone’s mistress. She was 28 weeks pregnant.”
Chen Wen: “…”
The policemen: “…”
How do you know all this when you just stood at the entrance?!
They couldn’t see the ghost that was floating behind Ming Shu.
“What is the man called?”
“…” Are you asking me?
Chen Wen was puzzled.
Aren’t you the one that said all the information?
How would he know anything!
Ming Shu said again, “Zhuo Liangyou.”
“…”
Why are you answering your own questions?
The policemen looked at Chen Wen.
Caption Chen, the consultant that you found… is she crazy?
Chen Wen was speechless. He walked up to Miss Qian quickly and pulled her outside. “Miss Qian, what nonsense are you saying?”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “I m giving you evidence. Why are you saying that it’s nonsense?”
“How do you know…”
“I asked.”
“Asked who?”
“Ghost.” Ming Shu tilted her head. “Didn’t I tell you that I can see ghosts?”
“…” You didn’t, thank you!
I want to flip the table. Who will believe what you say!
It’s not good to be superst.i.tious!
Ming Shu didn’t care if he believed her or not.
However, when Chen Wen got the information, he didn’t know what to say.
It was exactly the same as Ming Shu said. Even the duration of pregnancy was accurate.
“Did you take another case from someone before and investigate He Lan?” Chen Wen found a reasonable explanation.
She was in this trade and He Lan was a mistress. Hence, the wife of Zhuo Liangyou might have asked her to investigate the mistress… Yes! This is logical!
Ming Shu smiled. “Whatever floats your boat.”
Chen Wen: “…”
The ident.i.ty of the victim was found but it had nothing to do with her death.
Zhuo Liangyou said that his wife had been suspicious of him recently so he hadn’t seen He Lan for the past half-month. He never contacted her, either.
Ming Shu ate her frech fries and said softly, “He Lan went out at 9 AM. She was going for a checkup in the hospital.”
After she went out, she never returned.
Chen Wen didn’t questioned Ming Shu this time. He immediately went to the hospital.
The hospital confirmed that He Lan had a checkup at 10 AM that day. After the checkup, she left.
Where did she go?
How would they know where their patients went after they left the hospital?
Chen Wen asked them to show him the surveillance videos.
If they could discover where He Lan went, they might be able to get some more evidence.
Ming Shu didn’t want to watch the surveillance videos with them so she prepared to go home.
The rain outside didn’t let up. When Ming Shu went out, she saw the expensive car parked inconsiderately in the middle of the road.
A woman holding the little boy from before came out.
“Sister!” The little boy waved at Ming Shu.
Ming Shu gritted her teeth. This stupid little boy ate two packets of her fries.
She squeezed out a sinister smile.
The stupid little boy smiled at her sweetly.
“Were you the one who sent my child to the police station?” The woman hugging the child walked over. She was grateful. “Thank you. Can you leave your WeChat? I will find a time to treat you to a meal.”
Ming Shu swallowed her rejection and took out her cellphone.
Ming Shu looked at the comments on the name in her WeChat…
This is really…
There was a rule that a villain would be able to meet the protagonist everywhere.
This woman was the female protagonist.
“Say bye to Sister.”
The stupid little boy smilded even brighter. “Sister, my name is Hang Zichen!”
“…” My name is Hang Zizhou! Do you know that?
Ming Shu waved at them.
The woman walked back after a while. “It’s not easy to get a cab now. If you don’t mind, we can send you back.”
Ming Shu glanced at the expensive car.
“No need.”
The car must belong to the male protagonist. If she went to disturb them, the male protagonist would eat her up.
For snacks!
I won’t go!
In the end, the woman saw Ming Shu making a call and very soon, someone came out from the police station and sent her back in a police car.
