C16 Murder again

When Li Jing thought of the words he had read in novels, the defensive line in his heart completely collapsed. He fell to his knees with a thump.

At this moment, Li Jing felt a chill spreading from his back, accompanied by the hysterical voice of the stall owner.

"Why are you wasting food? Eat, eat!"

The bloody bowl of dumplings appeared in front of him again. Li Jing was on the verge of tears as he thought, "Why am I so unlucky!?"

Other people might not even be able to bump into a ghost in their entire lives, but I've only f * cking bumped into it twice in a few days!

If I were to f * * king die, I wouldn't even qualify to be a martyr!

Suddenly, a splash of cold water came from an unknown place and splashed down from above Li Jing's head, causing his heart to turn cold.

Li Jing spurted out a mouthful of blood. He wiped his face and saw a woman in her fifties holding a basin of water, looking at him with a serious expression.

The dumpling stall owner had disappeared like a bubble. While he was squatting on the ground, he was surrounded by people who were whispering to each other and pointing their fingers at him from time to time.

At this moment, Li Jing felt something in his mouth. After spitting out two mouthfuls of dirt, he couldn't help but think of the dumplings he had just eaten and retch.

"Lad, are you alright?" the woman holding the water basin asked in concern.

Li Jing looked at the crowd in a daze: "What happened to me just now?"

It turned out that when some passersby saw Li Jing talking to himself in the alleyway, they suddenly started running on the spot. They all thought he was insane and attracted a crowd of people to watch him.

Later, when the older members of the crowd said he was bewitched, they went to the nearby residents and splashed a bucket of cold water on Li Jing.

Li Jing also calmed down. He naturally didn't want others to know about him being possessed by ghosts. After shaking his head in thanks, he quickly left the crowd.

Li Jing sat in the taxi back home and watched the cars fly by outside the window as well as the scattered crowd around him. He thought about how he had nearly lost his life just now and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's great to be alive!"

Another quiet night passed. In the morning, Li Jing had just arrived at the police station when he received a notice that a murder had occurred on the Avenue of Happiness.

Happiness Street was the night market from last night. Upon hearing this news, Li Jing suddenly had a bad premonition.

After arriving at the crime scene, Li Jing even had the urge to hang himself. The crime scene was the alley where he met the ghost yesterday.

The small alley's entrance had already been pulled up, but the outside was still filled with onlookers. Li Jing spent a long time to squeeze in. The eyes of the crowd were bright and clear. Immediately, some people recognized Li Jing and shouted, "Isn't this the guy who got sick last night!?"

The crowd's gaze immediately fell on Li Jing. Immediately, the crowd began to discuss among themselves. The other policemen also looked curiously at Li Jing.

Li Jing couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground to hide in. He took out the spirit of the ostrich, lowered his head, and walked towards the crime scene with a flushed face.

The victim was a young woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties. She was dressed in revealing makeup, according to a local resident.

The victim was a young lady from nearby, whose home was nearby, probably killed on her way home from work in the middle of the night.

What chilled Li Jing the most was that according to the medical examiner, there were no obvious fatal wounds on the body, but the eyes of the dead were bleeding, lips were bluish blue, and a large amount of dirt was found in the mouth.

Thinking back to what he experienced last night, he didn't need to be certain that it had something to do with that damn dumpling, but if he were to tell his superior the truth, the people in the Bureau would definitely treat him as a lunatic.

Li Jing was at a loss when he returned home. Now that the Ghostly Dumplings were outside doing evil and Zhang Changsheng was not by his side, could it be that he could only watch as the next victim appeared?

At this moment, Li Jing's eyes suddenly glanced at the secret manual that Zhang Changsheng had left for him. He had not read this secret manual since he had taken it, and the paper was already filled with cracks.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. If I can learn the contents of this secret manual, then I will be able to capture ghosts myself. Why is there a need to worry about this damned dumpling stall?

However, he was immediately dumbfounded when he flipped open the book. The book was arranged in vertical lines from right to left. It seemed like it had been there for quite some time, and what troubled Li Jing the most was that it was written in Chinese. When they were in school, the written language was a weak point of Li Jing. Even though he had graduated from university, he was only around the same level as a junior high school student.

After flipping through ten sentences for a long time, he still couldn't understand nine and a half sentences. The hope that Li Jing had just ignited was immediately shattered.

Although Li Jing knew it would be easy for him to get old copper coins to teach him, he felt disgusted when he thought of the old copper coin looking at him. In the end, he simply found the Chinese dictionary he used in school and translated it word by word.

However, the amount of work required was too much. Only a few pages had been translated by midnight. Looking at the ten centimeters thick book, Li Jing only felt darkness in front of him.

At this critical moment, Li Jing suddenly thought of the great Baidu. As the saying goes, look for Baidu if you have any problems. Li Jing immediately took a few photos of the contents of the books and posted them on the internet.

Sure enough, brave people would come after a great reward. Not long after, a reply popped up. Li Jing immediately opened it and saw that the person's name was Daokong. Furthermore, everything Dao Kong said was reasonable. Li Jing had picked a part of it to match the dictionary, so he couldn't help but chuckle.

Naturally, with the help of an expert, he had already translated a fifth of the book in one night's time. In the blink of an eye, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and Li Jing also felt sleepy and couldn't help but stretch out his body, flipping through the pages as he proudly looked at his results of the night.

At this moment, Li Jing noticed that something was wrong. He looked at the reply on the thread. At first, there were a lot of people joining in, but as time went by, the number of people that replied gradually decreased.

It was understandable that he had been able to endure from last night until now, but where did this space come from? It couldn't be that someone was so bored that they didn't sleep at the Tieba Cafe to answer questions, right?

Thinking of this, Li Jing couldn't help but be alarmed. Could it be that there was some sort of purpose behind this empty space? Was it for him?

He immediately replied to Dao Kong: "You're not going to rest after one night?"

However, it was as if Dao Kong knew what he was thinking. Li Jing waited for a long time, but he still didn't reply.

The more Li Jing felt that something was not right, he took a short rest at home, and in the afternoon, he ran back to the station to ask for the help of his colleagues from the Internet Investigation Division.

After some investigation, he confirmed that the poster's IP was actually an Internet Cafe in the city. This made Li Jing even more suspicious. The poster was here for him.

Li Jing quickly found the Internet Cafe and showed his ID. After that, he checked the surveillance footage. Based on the time he had logged on last night, he had finally locked onto a man wearing a white shirt after some investigation.

This man looked to be about the same age as him. He had come online yesterday at midnight and had left the Internet Cafe at around ten this morning. It was Li Jing's time to post.

He asked the owner of the Internet Cafe. Because this person had only arrived last night at midnight, the owner still had some impression of this person. This man looked to be around 25 or 26 years old. But this person didn't have the impression that he came to the Internet Cafe often before as a guest. Li Jing inquired one by one at the nearby Internet cafes, but none of them had any impression of this man.

After returning home, Li Jing laid on his bed and slowly organized the recent events, hoping to find some clues. Could this man be in cahoots with Chen Qi? To his own soul? But if that was the case, there was no need for him to translate those words for himself. The more Li Jing thought, the more confused he became. Slowly, he entered into his dream.

The next day, Li Jing was woken up by the sound of the phone ringing before it could even light up. Just as he picked up the call, Old Xu's urgent voice came through, "You're still sleeping, hurry to Happiness Street, there's a murder here again!"

Another murder case!

Li Jing's heart thumped as an ominous premonition welled up in his heart. He didn't even bother to wash and put on his clothes as he rushed to the Avenue of Happiness.

The premonition came true as soon as he arrived at the scene. The murder scene was still the same alley, and the victim was still unharmed. There was a large amount of dirt in her mouth, and the cause of death was probably asphyxiation.
