187: Chapter 187: Familiar Knock, Familiar Officer 187: Chapter 187: Familiar Knock, Familiar Officer As Yu Laosan confessed, even the city bureau was alerted, and countless people were busy all night long.
In places invisible to ordinary people, it was utterly chaotic, and the upheaval never ceased throughout the night.
The detention center was overwhelmed with people, nearly bursting at its seams.
All the police officers were rotating continuously, interrogating through the night, and more and more people and incidents were implicated.
They kept busy until early dawn when things finally settled down a bit.
But there were still many issues to address, at least for the time being, they wouldn’t be able to rest.
However, in the midst of all this busyness, someone still made their way to Zhao Guang’s house.
Early in the morning, Zhao Guang’s door was “bang bang bang” being knocked on.
Zhao Guang, who was in deep sleep, suddenly got up, full of anger.
He had been up until midnight looking for clothes for Xi Fei; didn’t they allow anyone to sleep properly anymore?
Although the knocking sounded somewhat familiar, Zhao Guang was too angry to think much about it.
Running over here so early in the morning, what’s going on?” Zhao Guang was furious, since in this place, hardly anyone would come looking for him.
If someone did need him, they would definitely call first.
Only when he opened the door did Zhao Guang’s anger dissipate, recognizing the familiar and pretty face before him.
Of course, what was most crucial was that uniform, which wiped away any anger he had left.
“Haha, it’s the officer comrades, I don’t suppose I’ve committed any offences, is there anything you need my assistance with?” Zhao Guang was curious; surely, it couldn’t be because of someone reporting him for pig farming.
Downstairs there were indeed quite a few pigs, and today they would be sent away.
Really, it seemed he indeed needed a pig farm.
Qian Duo was startled by Zhao Guang who yelled when opening the door; in all her years on the job, she had seen arrogant people, but never someone with such a foul temper.
By the looks of him, he was probably still groggy from sleep.
What kind of person is this, what time is it, and he’s still not up?
“Go change your clothes, we have some matters we need to inquire about.”
“Alright, alright, just wait a moment,” Zhao Guang understood, as a citizen, what else could he do but cooperate.
Soon Zhao Guang came out again: “Please sit down, would you like something to drink?”
“No need, we are here to understand a situation.
Yesterday, Yu Laosan went mad, claiming he saw a ghost, do you know anything about that?”
And how could I possibly know anything about seeing ghosts.”
“You are lying, your expression changed when I mentioned Yu Laosan just now, so you know him.” Qian Duo’s expertise was fully demonstrated at this moment, startling Zhao Guang.
“Well, should I know him or not?”
Qian Duo was so annoyed she almost stamped her foot; this guy must have a problem, right?
“Tell the truth, these matters are very easy for us to investigate.”
Qian Duo was not clear about others, but she knew that Yu Laosan shouldn’t know Zhao Guang.
Otherwise, living next door to such a wealthy person, how could Yu Laosan not divulge anything at all?
Zhao Guang, speechless, finally said: “Alright, I know him, but he doesn’t know me.
This guy lives next to us and has been causing quite some trouble recently; how could I not know about it?”
Such matters were indeed easy to investigate, so there was no point in hiding anything; besides, what was there for him to hide?
Yu Laosan had never had any contact with him, and if he suddenly went mad, they couldn’t blame him for that.
“What do you know, spill it out?”
“I don’t know anything,” Zhao Guang spread his hands, as this was no time to confess.
But before Qian Duo could explode, Zhao Guang quickly added, “Can you tell me how Yu Laosan is doing?”
Containing her anger, Qian Duo then said, “Yu Laosan confessed the crimes of many people.
You’d better pray you haven’t done anything bad that falls into our hands, otherwise you won’t be able to escape.”
“If I haven’t done anything, why should I run?
But really, how is Yu Laosan exactly?”
Zhao Guang was very curious, specifically about the effect of the Vengeful Spirit Possession Scroll.
“Yesterday, Yu Laosan suddenly went mad, saying he encountered a ghost,” Qian Duo said, staring intently at every move Zhao Guang made.
But at that moment, Zhao Guang was nothing but curious.
After all, having used the Vengeful Spirit Possession Scroll, it would be strange if that guy couldn’t see ghosts.
“The mad Yu Laosan confessed a lot of things, many of whom have been caught.”
At that moment, the police officer who had been in the back taking notes spoke up, “Sister Qian, some things shouldn’t be said carelessly.”
Qian Duo also realized she had said too much, “Cough cough, about Yu Laosan, since he committed so many offenses and he himself has no intention of defending, he will probably be sentenced to around twenty years.”
Such a long time, but from what Qian Duo said, it seemed Yu Laosan was rather unaffected by anything else.
“Alright, as long as such a person is controlled, I’m relieved.
You don’t know, there are many people in this area whose families have been ruined by him, it’s truly tragic.
I represent the people in thanking you.”
“Do you even represent them?
Quickly confess, what do you know about Yu Laosan going mad.”
Zhao Guang was somewhat astonished, why did they keep focusing on that point?
Had they really discovered something?
This was extremely strange, how did they pinpoint it to him?
Before Zhao Guang could decide what to say, someone behind him suddenly got a phone call.
“Alright, I understand.
Sister Qian, Captain Liao has ordered us to return, to stop doing these irrelevant things.”
How can this be considered irrelevant?
I’m about to uncover the truth.”
“But Captain Liao has ordered us to return immediately, and if not, we must report to the deputy chief.”
Irked, Qian Duo stood up and said, “Let’s go, and remember, don’t let any incriminating evidence fall into my hands.”
Zhao Guang eagerly saw off these two plagues, especially Qian Duo.
Truthfully, ever since the first time he reported to the police, Zhao Guang had regretted it, thinking it would reduce his troubles, yet it turned out to be more troublesome.
Alas, who made him so unlucky, Zhao Guang helplessly shook his head.
However, the case of Yu Laosan was indeed quite unexpected.
“Who would have thought, the bad things Yu Laosan did wouldn’t bring him to death?” Zhao Guang found this the strangest part.
After all, he was well aware of what the effect of Vengeful Spirit Possession was.
Though it was his first time using it, from what he learned from Ocoro, Zhao Guang had a clear understanding of the spell’s effect.
In simple terms, whoever it was used on would end up seeing ghosts.
But then, the consequences varied too.
It could be said that if the person’s faults involved causing the death of three or more people, then that person was doomed.
Of course, this was just a trick, meaningless in the Otherworld, but on Earth, it was completely different.
