Chapter 1121: Ghost Subst.i.tute, At the Police Station
After cla.s.s, Chi Shuyan didn’t even have time to eat before she went to the police station to look for Brother Feng.
She had come to the police station a few times before, and what happened at No. 5 Junior High had left a deep impression on Captain Chen, Xiao Shan and the others. They were very enthusiastic toward Chi Shuyan.
When she was taken to Director Feng’s office, Captain Chen and the others didn’t forget to say that they still wanted to buy some Exorcism Talismans from her to protect themselves. After all, even if they didn’t run into things like that in their line of work, people they knew might, and they couldn’t not get involved then.
Chi Shuyan had a very good impression of Captain Chen, Xiao Shan and the others. Seeing that they really wanted to buy the talismans, she wasn’t stingy and took out a few intermediate and high-level Exorcism Talismans for them. She also gave them extra since they were acquaintances. Xiao Shan and Captain Chen were very happy.
Captain Chen patted Chi Shuyan’s shoulder enthusiastically and said, “Master Chi, thank you so much!”
It could be said that they held her in the highest regard, and they never stopped smiling.
Chi Shuyan told Captain Chen to just call her by her name.
Xiao Shan and Captain Chen hurriedly shook their heads. Ever since the young lady in front of them subdued the ghosts at No. 5 Junior High, the two of them didn’t dare underestimate her at all.
Chi Shuyan could only let them be.
When Chi Shuyan entered Brother Feng’s office, Feng Yuanlin had Captain Chen and Xiao Shan take the kids from last night to the interrogation room first, and he and Shuyan would follow later.
“Yes, Director Feng!”
When Xiao Shan and Captain Chen went out, Chi Shuyan was a bit embarra.s.sed at first when she looked at Brother Feng. However, when Brother Feng turned serious, Chi Shuyan forgot about personal matters and her face turned serious as she called out, “Brother Feng!”
“Shuyan, it’s good that you’re here! It’s good that you’re here!” Feng Yuanlin had an understanding of Shuyan’s abilities and heaved a sigh of relief. With Shuyan around, he had confidence.
“Have you eaten?” Feng Yuanlin asked.
Chi Shuyan didn’t have much time. She knew that Brother Feng probably hadn’t eaten either, so she didn’t want to waste time. She got up and prepared to go to the interrogation room with Brother Feng to meet Jiang Duo and the others.
Feng Yuanlin immediately nodded. “Okay!” It just so happened that he had some questions to ask those boys.
When the two went over, Jiang Duo, Xiao Ningjin, Xiong Luoying and Chang Hao had already been brought to the interrogation room. As soon as they saw Chi Shuyan, they were so excited, as if they were seeing their own parents!
Before Jiang Duo could act, Xiao Ningjin spoke first in a very friendly, polite and respectful tone. “Master Chi, you’re here! That’s great! As long as Master Chi is here, we don’t have to worry! Master Chi, please save us. By the way, I still want to buy some talismans. It doesn’t matter how much they cost. Also, there’s the jade pendant around Jiang Duo’s neck. As long as Master Chi is willing to sell that, it doesn’t matter how much it costs! Name your price!”
Chi Shuyan: …
Feng Yuanlin: …
Jiang Duo, Xiong Luoying, and Chang Hao panicked. What was this kid talking about?
Afraid that Master Chi would only sell talismans and jade pendants to Xiao Ningjin and forget about them, the three hurriedly expressed that they had money.
Their att.i.tude was so solicitous and enthusiastic. It was a stark contrast to their initially cold att.i.tude.
Chi Shuyan wasn’t used to these boys being so enthusiastic and solicitous.
At that moment, Jiang Duo complained, “Master Chi, just ignore the others. Just pay attention to me. Back then, none of them believed you, and I was the only one who firmly believed in you. When you gave them the talismans before, they wanted to throw them away like sc.r.a.p paper! So, Master Chi, if you’re going to sell jade pendants, just sell them to me!”
Ever since he found out that this jade pendant was very effective, Jiang Duo also knew that it was impossible for Master Chi to sell more to each of them, but she might still sell him one. With “benefits” being the priority, Jiang Duo didn’t hesitate to step on his friends. After all, they really hadn’t believed Master Chi before.
As soon as Jiang Duo finished speaking, the others glared at him anxiously. If looks could kill, Jiang Duo would have already died countless times. Xiao Ningjin, Chang Hao and Xiong Luoying didn’t expect Ah Duo, who was usually the easiest to fool, to be smart enough to step on them in front of Master Chi.
Xiao Ningjin glared at him. “You already have one around your neck, and you’re still fighting with us? Not only that, you’re also stepping on your friends? Ah Duo, are you human?”
Chang Hao and Xiong Luoying immediately echoed him, then said guiltily, “Master Chi, don’t listen to Ah Duo. The only person we believe in is you. We don’t doubt you at all. Otherwise, how could we have been willing to pay you for the talismans and to exorcize the ghost for us?”
“Is that so?” Chi Shuyan chuckled. It would be strange if she believed the lies of these brats. After last night, they probably knew that the talismans were useful, so they believed that she wasn’t a swindler. Chi Shuyan wasn’t angry. She wasn’t surprised that they didn’t believe her. What puzzled her was how these brats knew that this jade pendant was good stuff.
Chi Shuyan had a guess, and her eyes swept over the boys. Except for Jiang Duo, the others couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. Xiao Ningjin was still thick-skinned, and still acted solicitous and enthusiastic. “Master Chi, it doesn’t matter how much that jade pendant costs. Name whatever price you want!”
On the side, Chang Hao and the others didn’t back down and wanted to speak. Afraid that these brats would treat the interrogation room like the streets and start arguing, Feng Yuanlin’s expression tightened and he interrupted them. He said coldly, “Okay, if you brats want to talk shop, do it outside. You’re not allowed to do it here. Let’s get down to proper business now!”
Feng Yuanlin looked at Shuyan as he spoke. Chi Shuyan immediately understood Brother Feng’s meaning. She thought of how she had forgotten to give Brother Feng a jade pendant before. Brother Feng was a police officer, so she and Qi Zhenbai would be rea.s.sured if she gave him a jade pendant.
As soon as Feng Yuanlin finished speaking, the other boys also fell silent, but there was still some unwillingness in their eyes. They looked at Chi Shuyan repeatedly, hoping that she would soften and acquiesce.
Chi Shuyan had practically been treated as a swindler by the boys before, so apart from Jiang Duo, she didn’t have much of a favorable impression of them. She wasn’t soft-hearted now, and pretended not to see their gazes. She dealt with official business first. After the boys sat down, Chi Shuyan and Feng Yuanlin also sat down and asked them what happened last night.
At the mention of last night, the boys all shuddered in unison. Their originally high spirits sank and their faces turned pale. No one spoke for a long time. It was Xiao Ningjin who spoke after a long while. “Officer Feng, can you tell us first if our other friends are okay? How are they? Are they still alive?”
Xiao Ningjin asked the questions all the others were thinking. They hurriedly looked at Feng Yuanlin with worry in their eyes. Seeing that Feng Yuanlin didn’t speak or answer, Jiang Duo said uneasily, “Officer Feng, I know that Fang Yinglong is probably dead, but what about the others? Are they still alive?”
