“Yo! Haven’t slept?” Ling Lie muttered to himself, immediately picking up. He was about to make a few teasing remarks when he suddenly noticed the look in Ji Chenjiao’s eyes was off.

Ji Chenjiao: “What happened to your forehead?”

Only then did Ling Lie remember he had bumped his forehead.

“Ah… this…”

Ji Chenjiao’s brows furrowed tightly. “I’m asking you, what happened to your forehead?”

Ling Lie covered his forehead. “Aiya, you’re scolding me!”

Ji Chenjiao: “…”

Ling Lie: “You’re not sleeping in the middle of the night just to scold me? Sniff… Sniff…”

In the past, Ji Chenjiao could be easily distracted by Ling Lie, but this time he wasn’t led astray. “How did you get injured?”

Seeing this trick didn’t work, Ling Lie had to confess the truth, adding, “Your Lie Lie was gloriously injured in the line of duty, and you still scold him. What kind of person is this…” He squeezed out two nonexistent tears after finishing.

Ji Chenjiao made Ling Lie aim the camera at his forehead, checking it several times but still not feeling reassured. “Go get an X-ray.”

Ling Lie: “Little Ji, it’s truly a waste of your talent to be a police officer.”

Ji Chenjiao: “?”

Ling Lie: “How suitable it would be for you to be a doctor in a mental hospital. The doctor just now also told me to get an X-ray.”

Although the injury didn’t look too scary, it was on the head after all. Ever since Ji Chenjiao learned about Ling Lie’s neural deafness, he had been very concerned. There were so many nerves in the head; what if this bump caused hearing problems again?

“Do you feel any tinnitus? Any hearing loss?” Ji Chenjiao unconsciously raised his voice.

Ling Lie: “…”

Ji Chenjiao: “Can’t hear anymore?”

“Ah!” Ling Lie roared. “Next time I will definitely assassinate Xiao Yuan! Haven’t been deaf for hundreds of years, yet he talks so much exposing my dark history!”

Ji Chenjiao was unhappy upon hearing this. He was already a bit bothered that Ling Lie didn’t tell him this personally, and Ling Lie was also very displeased that Xiao Yuan had told him.

As Ling Lie’s boyfriend, shouldn’t he know?

Looking at Ji Chenjiao’s expression, Ling Lie coaxed again, “I explained it to you, it’s really healed. Not to mention deafness, I haven’t even had tinnitus for a long time. This illness isn’t even as annoying as your nagging.”

Ji Chenjiao sighed. “When I have time, I’ll take you to see a doctor.”

Ling Lie shivered: “Not going!”

Ji Chenjiao wanted to say more, but Ling Lie cut him off. “Alright, I know my body best. No one loves a nagging man, oh!”

Ji Chenjiao: “…”

It was hard to argue clearly over the phone, so the two started talking about Zhan Jun and Zhuo Suyi. Although Zhan Jun hadn’t woken up yet, a patient with severe psychological illness was most easily influenced by his attending physician. Coupled with Zhuo Suyi’s disappearance, it was very likely he had instilled something in Zhan Jun.

A huge suspicious point was: why did Zhan Jun dress up as a police officer? Where did this police uniform come from?

Ling Lie had previously connected the “wronged ghost” of the security guard mentioned by people to the police officer involved in the accident, and the possible extra person in the fire. But all this would have to wait until Zhan Jun woke up to get answers.

Ji Chenjiao said the Major Crimes Unit was deploying to search Beizhi Hospital. Relying on Ling Lie’s “eyewitness account” and preliminary clues, they could already apply for a search warrant. Once the talisman was found, they could detain the relevant persons for interrogation.

After listening, Ling Lie said, “Now there’s an additional Zhuo Suyi. If he has problems, how did Rongmei introduce him? Investigating Rongmei can also lead to investigating the Yu Group.”

The video call lasted for almost an hour. Before hanging up, Ji Chenjiao asked Ling Lie to show him the wound again. Ling Lie smiled. “Little Ji, couldn’t tell you’re actually a little pervert who likes battle damage.”

Ji Chenjiao blurted out, “Oh, that’s just you being inexperienced. I have even more perverted sides.”

Ling Lie: “…Then chat for another five bucks worth?”

Before dawn, Zhan Jun suddenly woke up, looking around with frantic eyes, startling the nurse.

“I died unjustly!” His voice was hoarse and very low, scratching at his body as if having an episode.

The doctor hurriedly restrained him, injecting medication while soothing him. Within just a few minutes, his arms had been scratched with over a dozen bloody marks. The nurse sighed helplessly. “He was like this when he was first admitted, trying every way to self-harm, saying he was wronged, saying there is no justice in this society. He treated students seriously, why should he be treated like this?”

But Ling Lie keenly sensed that what Zhan Jun just said and what the nurse said were not the same thing. Because he said “died”.

Who died? Zhan Jun himself was alive and well.

After the injection, Zhan Jun had no strength to self-harm anymore. Ling Lie walked to the bedside, his gaze burning like a torch, bending down to get closer and closer to Zhan Jun. The doctor wanted to stop him, after all, Zhan Jun was mentally unstable right now and could do anything.

But Ling Lie raised his hand, signaling the doctor not to intervene.

As he approached, Zhan Jun’s breathing became increasingly rapid, his Adam’s apple bobbing continuously, seeming very nervous and also very confused.

“Tell me, who are you?” Ling Lie’s voice was very gentle, startling the medical staff beside him. “What did you die from? Why did you die unjustly?”

Zhan Jun clenched his hands, pounding the bed board. “I, I…”

Ling Lie held down his hand to prevent the IV needle from moving due to his agitation. Then he sat by the bed. “No rush, speak slowly. No one here can hurt you. Look, I am a police officer.”

Zhan Jun’s eyeballs suddenly stopped moving, bursting with golden light. “Police officer!”

“Yes, I’m not wearing a uniform.” Ling Lie said, “But I have the same set as you. Calm down first and tell me who you are?”

Zhan Jun’s eyes turned red, his mouth opening and closing, spitting out choked words that were out of tune: “I, my name is, Yin Han, Hanshan…”

Boom—!!!

It was as if a thunderbolt flashed through Ling Lie’s mind, leaving him stunned on the spot.

Yin Hanshan?

This name…

How is that possible!

While investigating the case in Feng City, he and Ji Chenjiao encountered two cases that occurred in Feng’an County. Two victims, Tan Fabin and Bi Jiang, both died in their own funeral workshops. The murderer of the first case had already been brought to justice, while for the second case, the deceased Bi Jiang had once been to Country L, and the cause of death remains unknown to this day. However, one clue vaguely pointed towards the Yu Group, especially Yu Qin.

The Miss Alice that Bi Jiang fell in love with was none other than Yu Qin.

These two cases were the only two unsolved cases in Wei Zhiyong’s life and were once classified as serial cases. When Ling Lie went to Dongye City to look for Bi Jiang’s family, he learned that there was a criminal police officer named Yin Hanshan in Feng City who had pursued this case relentlessly just like him. But Yin Hanshan disappeared. Huang Yi, the captain of the Feng City Criminal Investigation Detachment, said that Yin Hanshan’s disappearance remains an unsolved mystery in Feng City to this day.

What happened to Yin Hanshan, no one knows. Whether he disappeared because of investigating a case cannot be determined either. Huang Yi had said that Yin Hanshan was a maverick and very unsociable. If he found the tasks assigned by superiors uninteresting, he wouldn’t follow them, always liking to investigate weird cold cases. And he could actually solve these cold cases. The leaders cherished talent and didn’t ostracize him because of his arrogance.

Outside of work hours, no one knew what he did. A colleague who had an okay relationship with him once asked where he went during holidays, and he said he went exploring at the border. Everyone knew he didn’t want to say, so they laughed it off.

Now, that legendary Yin Hanshan actually appeared on a hospital bed in Rongmei with this face!

This was a possibility Ling Lie had never envisioned. Even he fell into a brief state of confusion and bewilderment.

Calculating by age, Zhan Jun was not the same age as Yin Hanshan. Ling Lie had seen photos of Yin Hanshan; he and Zhan Jun were completely two different people.

Plastic surgery?

Ling Lie forced himself to calm down first; he was a bit confused now.

Zhan Jun was still shedding tears, mechanically repeating his words just now: “My name is Yin Hanshan, I died unjustly.”

Dead!

Ling Lie’s gaze sharpened. Right! If Yin Hanshan was already dead, then how could he be Zhan Jun? If Yin Hanshan didn’t die, why did Zhan Jun say he died unjustly?

Turning this corner in his mind, Ling Lie calmly followed Zhan Jun’s words and asked, “Yin Hanshan, why do you say you were wronged? Aren’t you fine right here?”

Zhan Jun shook his head incessantly. “I was murdered, I died right here.”

The medical staff nearby were greatly shocked upon hearing this. The doctor said, “Impossible! We have never had a medical accident in the South District!”

Ling Lie signaled the medical staff to stay calm and let him be alone with Zhan Jun.

“Alright, they’re all gone.” Ling Lie said, “This is my ID, did you see clearly? I am a police officer just like you. Who murdered you?”

“I…” Zhan Jun moved around anxiously. “I can’t remember…”

“How can you not remember? Think carefully again? Just now you said your name is Yin Hanshan, a police officer. Do you remember where you were a police officer?”

“No, don’t remember.”

Ling Lie said, “Then how did you die?”

Zhan Jun trembled. “Fire, I was burned to death!”

“Was it the fire before Rongmei was established?”

“Don’t know, don’t remember…”

Ling Lie asked again, “Yin Hanshan, why did you come to Chaoxia County?”

“Don’t know…”

“Was it to investigate a case? Do you remember where Feng City is?”

Zhan Jun gasped for air. “Feng City? I, I seem to have been there!”

After that, Zhan Jun couldn’t answer Ling Lie’s questions anymore. The doctor monitored abnormalities in Zhan Jun’s body from outside and quickly came in to terminate the conversation.

The sky gradually brightened, light gently sweeping away the darkness. Ling Lie stood on the balcony and stretched vigorously. Although he hadn’t slept, after a cigarette, his mind had cleared up.

Zhan Jun’s performance just now was very much like someone whose memory had been forcibly modified, causing confusion between his own memories and foreign memories. That doctor surnamed Zhuo treated him for two months; he was the person most likely to have done something to him.

Zhan Jun was not Yin Hanshan, but Zhuo Suyi made Zhan Jun think he was Yin Hanshan. Zhan Jun expressed confusion but consistently emphasized that he died unjustly. Then what was the relationship between Zhuo Suyi and Yin Hanshan? Did he know Yin Hanshan’s encounter and speak it through the patient’s mouth?

In any case, Yin Hanshan and Rongmei—no, it should be a step further, and the Yu Group—were connected. Before Yin Hanshan disappeared, he was investigating Bi Jiang’s case, and Bi Jiang indeed had myriad links with the Yu Group.

Deduced this way, was it that the Yu Group discovered Yin Hanshan’s actions, and Yin Hanshan was murdered because of it? Was the extra person who should have appeared when the superstitious altar was built Yin Hanshan?!

This was an exceptionally bold deduction. Ling Lie’s heart couldn’t help beating faster. A web that was already huge became even larger at this moment; it seemed boundless, shrouding the densely clouded sky.

Ling Lie sent Zhan Jun’s photo to the Feng City police. Huang Yi quickly replied that Zhan Jun was absolutely not Yin Hanshan, and subsequently sent as many photos of Yin Hanshan as possible.

The young man in the photos was refined and elegant, unlike a police officer, nor like the solitary and arrogant person described by the Feng City police. He was a handsome young man who looked completely harmless.

The temperament on him reminded Ling Lie of Weng Keqiu, who went north alone with passion to investigate the migrant worker case.

Times are changing, but the same police soul has existed on this land from beginning to end.

Had Yin Hanshan been to Xiarong City? Did he disappear in Xiarong City? Were the clues about the Bi Jiang case he found last in Xiarong City?

The Major Crimes Unit was to execute a search mission today. Ji Chenjiao had handed over the investigation of Zhan Jun’s background to Shen Qi early in the morning. By noon, Zhan Jun’s condition recovered enough to conduct a dialogue, and before this, Shen Qi had preliminarily investigated Zhan Jun’s situation.

He was born in a relatively poor village in the province and got into a sports academy relying on his athletic talent. His parents were both farmers who couldn’t afford his education. He finished university relying on scholarships and grants. Initially, he was a very proud person because he walked out of the countryside relying on his unremitting efforts and will. It could be said that every step he took relied on himself.

At that time, he had many blueprints for the future. He wanted to gain a firm foothold in the city first, bring his parents to live in the city, marry a capable wife, and cultivate a group of top sports students more excellent than himself.

But reality dealt him a painful blow. No one recognized his strictness. When he told his experiences to inspire students, what he got was ridicule. P.E. seemed to be the most insignificant course, and P.E. teachers didn’t get respect either. He didn’t understand—I walked out of the mountains relying on sports!

Day after day, he found that his life hadn’t changed because of his struggles. He didn’t have the ability to bring his parents to live in the city. Although he had a marriage, they parted ways shortly due to daily necessities. His ex-wife disliked his stinginess and poverty.

He placed his last hope on the students, but what he received was report after report from parents. The school psychologist said he had actually been mentally unhealthy for many years.

When he first came for treatment, Zhan Jun improved. But after the attending physician changed from the old professor to Zhuo Suyi, the school visited several times asking when he could be discharged, and Zhuo Suyi always said it wasn’t time yet.

After listening to Shen Qi’s report, the speculation in Ling Lie’s heart became clearer. Zhan Jun was a mouth thrown out by Zhuo Suyi. The person truly related to Yin Hanshan was Zhuo Suyi, not Zhan Jun who claimed to be Yin Hanshan.

At this moment, Zhan Jun was in a conscious state. He had just taken medicine and looked exceptionally exhausted.

Ling Lie asked again, “Who are you?”

“Zhan Jun.”

“What is your profession?”

Zhan Jun looked away. “P.E. teacher.”

Ling Lie pointed to the police uniform nearby. “But last night, you told me you were a police officer who died here unjustly.”

There was no surprise on Zhan Jun’s face, as if he knew what he did at night. But he appeared very painful, gently pounding his head.

Ling Lie asked, “Do you know what you did these nights?”

Zhan Jun said, “They are all saying ‘haunted’, I guessed it.”

“It was you.”

“It was me.”

“Do you still remember the name of that police officer?”

This time Zhan Jun hesitated for a few seconds. “His name is Yin Hanshan.”

Ling Lie asked, “Why did you impersonate him?”

Zhan Jun’s lips trembled. “I can’t control it, I’m not sober at all at night.”

Ling Lie nodded. “Understood. Someone directed you to do this, right?”

“Mn.”

“Your memories about Yin Hanshan were also instilled by him; he made you think you are Yin Hanshan, right?”

“Mn.”

Ling Lie asked again, “Who is he?”

Zhan Jun trembled all over, as if strangled by immense fear.

“Don’t be afraid.” Ling Lie said, “You are already under police protection. Tell me, who is the person who used you and controlled you?”

Zhan Jun swallowed his saliva, his voice weak. “My, my doctor, Doctor Zhuo, Zhuo.”

The Major Crimes Unit pounced on Beizhi Hospital. Yu Yesheng was panic-stricken. “What are you doing? My father is receiving treatment!”

Ji Chenjiao showed the search warrant. “Received a tip-off that the Yu Group may be involved in two murder-for-hire cases. Please cooperate with the investigation.”

Yu Yesheng chased behind shouting, “Mistake, right? What murder-for-hire cases?”

Ji Chenjiao took out the photo of the talisman. “This is yours, right?”

Yu Yesheng’s face changed instantly, stammering, “No, I don’t have it.”

“But the hand in the photo is yours.” Ji Chenjiao glanced at Yu Yesheng’s finger. “You are still wearing this ring!”

Yu Yesheng remembered; Ling Lie had taken a photo of the talisman!

“You are collecting evidence illegally without permission!”

“This photo is not evidence, otherwise why would I bring a search warrant today?”

Yu Yesheng’s back was instantly soaked with cold sweat. Yesterday, Yu Qianming called him to the bedside and asked where the talisman was. He took it out to show Yu Qianming. “Don’t worry Dad, I’m keeping it safe, Heaven will bless you.”

But Yu Qianming said, “Burn it.”

He was shocked. “Why?”

Yu Qianming turned his gaze, looking out the pitch-black window. “Birth, old age, sickness, and death should have a fixed number. What shouldn’t be, don’t force it.”

He got anxious. “Can’t throw it away either! Wasn’t this begged from an expert with great effort by you? Even if you don’t believe, you can’t burn it, right?”

Although he wasn’t superstitious and knew the talisman only served a psychological effect, burning a talisman seemed very unlucky no matter how he thought about it.

But Yu Qianming was very resolute. “Burn it, and the previous talismans too, this kind of thing can’t be kept.”

He didn’t understand why it couldn’t be kept. Seeing there was no room for maneuver in Yu Qianming’s attitude, he had to agree on the surface, saying he would go burn it right away.

After leaving the ward, he pretended to go to the lakeside and made a show of burning the talisman, but he didn’t burn it; instead, he hid them.

Dad is really sick and dizzy, he thought. Something like a talisman, since it was begged for, absolutely cannot be burned. Dad must just not be thinking straight for a moment. Doesn’t matter, anyway, I’ll wear the talisman, I’ll keep it, and take it out when Dad changes his mind.

At this moment, Yu Yesheng looked at the police officer in front of him who resembled him slightly, suddenly panicking so much his legs trembled.

Did Dad foresee something happening last night? That’s why he didn’t hesitate to burn the talisman, and he acted smart and didn’t execute it, now disaster is imminent?

Ji Chenjiao saw from Yu Yesheng’s reaction that the talisman hadn’t been disposed of, and Yu Yesheng knew clearly where the talisman was.

“Let go of me!” When being taken to the police car by two criminal police officers, Yu Yesheng shouted and struggled. “I don’t know what talisman! You are committing a crime against a citizen!”

The Major Crimes Unit entered the ward to search. Yu Qianming watched everything happening before his eyes calmly, not making a sound, not answering. But when his gaze landed on Ji Chenjiao’s face, a trace of surprised emotion suddenly appeared in his muddy eyes.

He stared at Ji Chenjiao, his gaze becoming increasingly complicated, dry and hoarse words squeezed out of his throat urgently: “You, you are…”

Ji Chenjiao showed his ID: “Head of the Major Crimes Unit.”

Yu Qianming took back that trace of surprise, but his hand hung in the air. After a moment, he shook his head and laughed inscrutably. “Impossible, impossible.”

At this time, in the police car, Liang Wenxian found the two unburned talismans on Yu Yesheng.

Yu Yesheng was brought to the municipal bureau along with the talismans. Liang Wenxian interrogated Yu Yesheng, and Fu Xiwan took them for identification.

Liang Wenxian asked, “Where did the talismans come from?”

Yu Yesheng lived a pampered life and, unlike his brothers who needed to deal with business opponents and officials, was used to being free and undisciplined. Where had he ever been treated like this? For a moment he was both angry and afraid, first cursing the police, then shrinking in the chair trembling. “It’s just a talisman, what on earth do you want to do!”

He looked like he knew nothing, but since the talisman was on him, Liang Wenxian had to continue asking. “Answer my question, where did the talisman come from?”

Liang Wenxian was the most chill person in the entire Major Crimes Unit, but when he really put on the posture to interrogate someone, most people still couldn’t handle it.

Yu Yesheng was almost scared to tears. “It, it was invited by my dad from an expert, said it could, could ward off disasters for my dad! Are you trying to crack down on feudal superstition? We aren’t really superstitious! Believe me, this is just seeking psychological comfort! After all, my dad has been sick for so long, wanting to find some comfort isn’t excessive, right? And my dad didn’t believe it yesterday either, even asked me to burn it…”

Yu Yesheng suddenly stopped, realizing he said something wrong in his panic! This talisman definitely had a problem, that’s why Dad asked him to burn it, and not only did he not burn it, he was here chewing the fat with the police!

Of course, Liang Wenxian also heard the last word. “Burn? Burn what?”

Yu Yesheng hurriedly said, “No! You heard wrong! I meant, my dad asked me to take (shāo) it home.”

Liang Wenxian: “Yu Qianming asked you to burn the talisman. And you didn’t do it for some reason.”

Yu Yesheng trembled even more severely. “No! You’re talking nonsense! Why would I burn it! It’s just a talisman!”

Trace Evidence Work Area.

Xi Wan put the brought-back talisman together with Luo Manchai’s talisman. The broken patterns matched perfectly, the dimensions were exactly the same, the material was identical. It was basically confirmed to be a pair of talismans, the good and evil sides. Luo Manchai holding the evil talisman became the so-called “Feng Shui Fish”, while Yu Qianming and Yu Yesheng holding the good talisman were the beneficiaries.

Xi Wan reported the results to Liang Wenxian and Ji Chenjiao, and immediately proceeded with deeper identification of the talisman.

Liang Wenxian adjusted his earpiece, nodded, and looked at Yu Yesheng again. “The identification results are out. The talisman you hold is related to the female star Luo Manchai who was murdered some time ago.”

Yu Yesheng was completely confused. “Luo Manchai? What does this have to do with me? Did she also invite a talisman from an expert?”

This person seemed to truly know nothing about the talisman. Liang Wenxian sighed inwardly. “Since Yu Qianming was hospitalized, you have been taking care of him by his side. Who he met, which expert he invited the talisman from, you really don’t know?”

Yu Yesheng went crazy. “I really don’t know! I don’t stay in the hospital twenty-four hours a day!”

Unable to interrogate a result, but watching Yu Yesheng’s back being taken away by team members to rest, Liang Wenxian felt a trace of absurdity.

He leaned against the corridor wall, searching for Yu Yesheng on his phone, finding that this person was the famous playboy of the Yu family. Other young people in the Yu family worked in the Yu Group, only he idled about; wherever there was a party, he was there. Maybe because he was indeed a waste, maybe because there were already several older brothers above him, the Yu family seemed to have always maintained a laissez-faire attitude towards him. In a wealthy family, this might not represent pampering, but neglect.

Then it was worth exploring why Yu Qianming kept him by his side when he was seriously ill and hospitalized. Was he especially close to this good-for-nothing son, or did he know other sons were busy and only Yu Yesheng had time?

Liang Wenxian closed the search page and called Ji Chenjiao.

Ji Chenjiao picked up quickly. “Brother Liang.”

Liang Wenxian said, “Yu Yesheng can’t confess anything, but I found a contradictory point.”

“Mn?”

“Yu Yesheng can be said to be the most useless son of the Yu family. I believe him when he says he doesn’t know where the talisman came from. But Yu Qianming is such a shrewd businessman, how could he rest assured handing the talisman to Yu Yesheng? Last night Yu Qianming even asked Yu Yesheng to burn the talisman, but Yu Yesheng felt burning the talisman was unlucky and secretly kept it. Since an old fox like Yu Qianming thought of burning the talisman, he should have sensed the police would take action. Burning evidence is such an important matter, would he just casually hand it to his silly son to do without even checking?”

Ji Chenjiao pondered for a while. “Brother Liang, I understand.”

The talismans matching meant the Major Crimes Unit’s previous deduction was likely the truth—Yu Qianming treated innocent people as “Feng Shui Fish”, hired murderers to kill them at will, using them to block disasters for himself. He should be taken back to the municipal bureau for interrogation immediately, but his current physical condition wasn’t suitable for leaving the hospital. Once the doctor issued a certificate, he wouldn’t even have to accept interrogation.

Ji Chenjiao asked the doctor to check his condition. The doctor instructed not to stimulate the patient, simple chatting was fine. This was somewhat unexpected; Yu Qianming could have completely pretended to be unable to communicate.

Too late to think more, Ji Chenjiao came before Yu Qianming.

Yu Qianming looked at him, his eyes veiled with indescribable things. A moment later, Yu Qianming raised his hand slightly, pointing to the chair beside him. “Sit, sit. Last time Little Ge… Officer Ling came, he also sat there.”

Ji Chenjiao knew who Little Ge was. Ling Lie’s name when he lived in the Yu family in the past, also the name of the lost child of the Yu family, Yu Ge.

“This is the talisman we found on Yu Yesheng. He said it was the disaster-warding talisman you begged from an expert, and you once instructed him to burn it.” Ji Chenjiao showed the photo on his phone to Yu Qianming. “Since it’s a disaster-warding talisman, wouldn’t burning it be unlucky? Why burn it?”

Yu Qianming lowered his eyelids, not speaking for a long time, as if asleep.

“Useless thing.” He cursed hoarsely. “Insufficient to accomplish anything, but more than enough to ruin things!”

Ji Chenjiao clicked on Luo Manchai’s talisman again. “This is another talisman we found. It appeared at the murder scene, held by Luo Manchai.”

The loose skin around Yu Qianming’s eyes began to tremble.

“After identification, they belong to a pair.” Ji Chenjiao said, “Chairman Yu, you know very well what these two talismans represent, right? The holder of the evil talisman is the ‘Feng Shui Fish’, and the bad luck of the good talisman holder will be transferred to the ‘Feng Shui Fish’. For your early recovery, you artificially manufactured the death of the ‘Feng Shui Fish’.”

Yu Qianming’s eyelids lifted, his ashen gaze shooting towards Ji Chenjiao.

For a moment, neither side spoke.

A few minutes later, Ji Chenjiao asked, “Who did you get the talisman from?”

Yu Qianming still stared at Ji Chenjiao but refused to answer.

Ji Chenjiao remembered the doctor’s instructions. Yu Qianming’s body wasn’t a joke. If he really questioned the man into an attack, it wouldn’t be any good for the police investigation.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say. The talisman is the most important evidence. We will continue to investigate following this evidence.”

After speaking, Ji Chenjiao prepared to stand up and leave. But Yu Qianming said, “Found the talisman, isn’t clarifying things just a matter of time?”

Ji Chenjiao thought he was going to be sarcastic and raised an eyebrow slightly.

But Yu Qianming pointed to the chair again. “A person terminally ill will use every conceivable way to save himself, and I am no exception.”

Hearing this, Ji Chenjiao’s eyes darkened slightly. Did Yu Qianming mean to confess?
