Chapter 406: Chapter 406 There Must be a Reason for Existence Chapter 406: Chapter 406 There Must be a Reason for Existence Before Hua Jinyan could lead Little Taotie by the hand to find the police officer, they opened the villa’s main door and saw a police car parked in front of the villa, with the officer stepping out of it.
Little Taotie looked up and was surprised to find that the morning glory above the police uncle’s head was in full bloom, no longer withering. It was blooming even more lushly than when they had first met, swaying in the wind.
“Little Taotie, we meet again, can I ask you a few questions?”
Little Taotie nodded her small head, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at the police uncle’s head.
The male police officer thought the little girl particularly liked him, feeling proud inside, “Listening to my girlfriend’s advice was definitely the right move!”
Before coming to the villa, the male officer was annoyed because he had misunderstood Little Taotie as talking nonsense earlier, and had glared at her with disapproval, fearful that she would be scared upon seeing him. So he told his girlfriend that he had scared a child while working on a case.
He needed to meet the child again and was afraid she would reject him.
His girlfriend suggested that he get a haircut, shave his beard, and trim his eyebrows a little to appear more gentle.
The police were invited into the study, where Little Taotie sat on a rotating chair, spinning around, her big eyes shining with curiosity.
The male officer cleared his throat with a cough, and said with purpose, “Last time you said you saw a ‘Ghost’ with a big hole in its chest…?”
Little Taotie paused in her spinning, lowered her eyes, and softly hummed through her nose, “Mm.”
Seeing the girl’s disinterest, the officer corrected his demeanor, “I misunderstood you last time, I thought you were deliberately trying to scare us, but you didn’t lie.”
“You believe me?” Little Taotie lifted her gaze, her beautiful eyes full of surprise.
“Although I am an atheist, I’m not stubborn. The country also has a Special Department, and since Mysticism exists, it must have its reasons. I believe you, and indeed, facts have shown that you did not lie.”
Little Taotie looked at him blankly.
The male officer explained, “The forensic doctor provided a report, stating that the victim’s heart was removed. You couldn’t have known that about the skeleton, yet you talked about the Ghost having a big hole where its heart should be. This only confirms that the Ghost you saw was indeed the victim.”
Little Taotie nodded, “Ghost Sister said that because her body was not found, she could not leave the island. Now that the corpse has been discovered, she can leave the island, proving that the skeleton is indeed Ghost Sister.”
“You say she has left the island?” The male officer felt a chill down his back.
Little Taotie tilted her head and looked behind the male officer, “Yes, she left the island. She’s right behind you, you know!”
Male police officer: “…” No wonder there was a chill on his back!
He shifted his steps slightly toward Little Taotie, “Is she… still behind me?”
“Not behind you now, but still in the same spot as before.”
The male officer looked back at where he was standing earlier, his eyes wide, but he couldn’t see anything.
–I knew I was just an ordinary person!
The male officer cleared his throat, “Uh… since she’s here, can you talk to her?”
“Sure!” Little Taotie nodded her little head, her voice sweet and milky.
The officer looked intently at that spot, “Can she hear what I’m saying?”
Little Taotie nodded, “Sure!”
The officer steadied himself, his voice trembling slightly, “Hello… I want to ask you about the case. Do you know who killed you?”
