Lv Dong's breathing came to a halt.
It was unclear whether he forgot to breathe or simply didn't dare to anymore.
His neck stiffened as he slowly lowered his head.
And saw that white as jade, small hand on his wrist.
Truly white as jade, even paler and colder than marble.
Then, Lv Dong's body shook violently, as if struck by lightning.
His head jerked in a twitchy manner to look towards where the voice beside him came from.
The corpse, the pretty woman's corpse, was standing right next to him, even winking and smiling!
Of course, Lv Dong recognized this corpse.
"Ah—"
Lv Dong finally couldn't hold it in, letting out a sharp, ear-piercing scream like a startled girl.
Then, his eyes rolled back.
With a "thud," he fell to the ground, fainting from fright on the spot.
The room regained its silence.
And just a moment ago, Zhang Feng's eyes were bulging, face pale, with veins popping on his forehead.
He patted his pants and stood up from the floor.
The current Zhang Feng no longer showed any of the previous pitiful, tragic visage.
He even smiled at the corpse that had scared Lv Dong senseless and said:
"How about it? My acting's not bad, huh?"
The corpse, now standing, was of course Ma Xiaotong. She looked at Zhang Feng and said:
"Officer, your acting was really too good."
"Even I almost believed it... I really thought you'd been possessed by a malicious ghost."
Ma Xiaotong's words were sincerely meant.
Earlier, as per Zhang Feng's instructions, she hid in the darkness and didn't come out.
When she saw Zhang Feng choking himself as if to strangle himself to death.
Ma Xiaotong got anxious, almost unable to resist coming out to think of a way to save Zhang Feng.
If Zhang Feng hadn't instructed her beforehand not to act rashly, no matter what happens until the end.
She might have already come out to scare Lv Dong herself.
Zhang Feng had a satisfied smile on his face in response to Ma Xiaotong's praise.
He had always let others act to scare people before, but today he experienced the thrill himself.
Actually, Zhang Feng's plan was.
To have Ma Xiaotong come out from within himself directly, then go next door to Lv Dong's apartment to scare him.
But this method had been used before on that insurance fraud grain and oil shop owner.
Later, he even had Shen Xing'Er pretend to be a ghost to scare people.
Although he was always the mastermind, Zhang Feng felt it wasn't quite as satisfying.
Might as well try it himself today.
Unexpectedly, the result was really good!
This Lv Dong thought he was dead and really confessed his crime from back then!
Particularly, Zhang Feng was quite surprised by one point.
That is, Lv Dong seemed unaware that Xu Yizhong's death was related to ghosts.
Wasn't he talking about a magical Gu Technique?
It's likely that the Evil Cultivator who gave Ma Xiaotong to Lv Dong didn't want Lv Dong to know too much, so he said that on purpose.
After all, Gu Technique is still relatively easier for the public to accept in this world.
At least it's much better compared to malicious ghosts.
Originally, Zhang Feng was worried that when Lv Dong confessed his crime, he'd mention ghosts, implicating Zhang Feng, and complicating explanations.
But now, it's fine.
This problem isn't something Zhang Feng needs to worry about anymore.
He took out his phone.
The screen showed that he had been recording?
So, everything Lv Dong had just said was recorded by Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng was planning that if Lv Dong mentioned anything about malicious ghosts, he'd have to edit the audio a bit.
But now, it's unnecessary.
He found Shen Hanshan's contact, sent the audio over.
And attached a note:
"My part is done, now I trust you know what to do next, bro?"
Shen Hanshan seemed to be waiting right by his phone.
Upon receiving Zhang Feng's audio file, he first sent a question mark.
But about five minutes later.
Zhang Feng's phone rang.
Seeing Shen Hanshan's name displayed, Zhang Feng gestured for Ma Xiaotong to keep quiet and answered the call.
Once connected, Shen Hanshan's voice came through, cracking with disbelief:
"Whoa! Is this for real?! Did Lv Dong confess this himself?!"
Hearing Shen Hanshan, Zhang Feng could tell he was in utter disbelief.
Zhang Feng replied helplessly:
"Bro, do you think I'd joke about something like this with you?"
"Can't you recognize Lv Dong's voice?"
"No no no..." Shen Hanshan's voice was a bit stiff after hearing Zhang Feng's answer:
"That's not what I mean, I'm just saying..."
"This case has been ongoing for seven years, with countless investigation teams finding nothing."
"But damn it, you went to Rain City for a day, not even twenty-four hours, and Lv Dong confessed?!"
Shen Hanshan couldn't help but swear out loud.
It was clear just how shocked he was.
And Zhang Feng, throwing up his hands said:
"He... did confess, however, the circumstances were a bit special..."
"Oh come on!" Zhang Feng didn't want to explain the process to Shen Hanshan and directly said:
"The case is cracked, isn't that good? Wasn't this troubling you for seven years? Hurry up and come catch him!"
"Once you've got him, compare it with the recording, and Lv Dong will confess everything he needs to, won't he? You're wasting time asking me!"
But Shen Hanshan hesitated, opening his mouth again:
"I just want to know... how did you do it?"
"Why do you care how I did it?" Zhang Feng felt exasperated: "If you don't send people to catch Lv Dong soon and he escapes, I'm not responsible!"
"Catch him, catch him! I'll make the call now! We'll talk in detail when you get back!"
"Beep beep beep beep—"
Listening to the busy signal, Zhang Feng shook his head and put away his phone.
Shen Hanshan's matter wasn't something he needed to worry about for the time being.
What was really crucial now, was how to deal with Ma Xiaotong!
Just as Zhang Feng hung up the call, Ma Xiaotong seized the moment to speak.
She briskly came over to Zhang Feng's side and grabbed his hand, looking at him with eager eyes:
"Officer, I've done what you asked me to!"
"Can you help me now?"
"Hiss—" Zhang Feng drew in a sharp breath.
Help you?
Help with what?
Help warm you up?
"No, no, no, no, no..." Zhang Feng waved his hand while retreating, nervously saying:
"Didn't we agree?"
"Once we've dealt with the scumbag we're both after, then I'll help you resolve your other obsessions, isn't that fine?"
"Now... How about you calm down a bit?"
"Alright..." Ma Xiaotong's hands fell powerlessly.
Zhang Feng's eyelids twitched: "Hold on, why do you look so disappointed?!"
He couldn't help but cross his arms protectively across his chest.
Guys, always remember to protect yourself when out and about!
Because it's not just women you need to be wary of, but female ghosts too!!
