Chi Mingwei was overjoyed by Chi Jiao’s sweet words. The guilt in his eyes was immediately replaced by a smile. “You only know how to sweet-talk me. But now that I think about it, Fang Xiaowei’s actions yesterday were indeed a little stiff and unnatural. She was wearing a big hat, and her hands were also cold.”
It was winter now, so Fang Xiaowei’s cold fingers did not raise Chi Mingwei’s suspicions.
“It seems that someone controlled Fang Xiaowei’s corpse to see Daddy yesterday. Daddy, the Fang Xiaowei you met yesterday was already dead,” Chi Jiao said firmly.
Chi Mingwei’s head nearly exploded. “Really?”
“Yup. Dad, did you see anyone suspicious around?” Chi Jiao asked again.
Chi Mingwei thought about it seriously and finally shook his head. “No, everything was quite normal.”
“Alright, I understand.” Chi Jiao was certain now that this matter must have something to do with Espers. It was also most likely related to She Qi.
Chi Jiao had an appointment with Beitang Lie. She decided to go to the police station to look for Huo Chen and An Cheng before looking at the dead body to see if she could find any other clues.
Beitang Lie drove over to pick her up. Before they reached the police station, Huo Chen called.
Chi Jiao answered the phone. “Officer Huo, we’ll be at the police station in about five minutes. Regarding Fang Xiaowei’s case, I would like to trouble you to bring us to see the body again.”
However, Huo Chen was silent for a moment. “I’m afraid you can’t examine the corpse anymore. Jiaojiao, Fang Xiaowei’s body is gone.”
“Someone stole her body?” Chi Jiao’s eyes lit up with excitement.
If someone stole the corpse, they could follow the person’s trail and find the Esper behind this!
But Huo Chen burst Chi Jiao’s bubble. “No, it was Fang Xiaowei who ran out of the morgue herself. She left through the back door.”
“What?” Chi Jiao was shocked. She quickly urged Beitang Lie to drive faster.
Fifteen minutes later, Chi Jiao, Beitang Lie, Huo Chen, and An Cheng sat together in the police station’s surveillance room.
There were surveillance cameras in every room and corridor of the police station. Chi Jiao and the others first looked at the surveillance cameras in the morgue. At two in the morning last night, the freezer containing Fang Xiaowei’s corpse suddenly trembled before it was pushed open.
On the screen, the flickering light tubes in the morgue looked increasingly bizarre. Fang Xiaowei’s limbs looked like they were as heavy as cement. She twisted her body clumsily and slowly crawled out of the freezer.
“This is amazing. This scene is even more exciting than a horror movie.” Beitang Lie lamented.
An Cheng stood quietly at the side. When he heard Beitang Lie’s lament, the corners of his lips twitched.
His comment was amazing. Didn’t the people of 117 know fear?
Even an experienced policeman like An Cheng felt horrified when he saw Fang Xiaowei come alive. However, Beitang Lie still had the mood to lament.
When An Cheng looked at Chi Jiao, he found the whole situation even more unbelievable.
Due to Fang Xiaowei’s escape, this case was definitely related to Espers. Therefore, Chi Jiao and Beitang Lie both revealed their identities to him just now.
An Cheng had only heard of them before. This was the first time he was collaborating with 117.. He realized that the members of 117 were even more strange than the rumors he heard.
