The Feng Shui Treasure Appraiser

199: Chapter 199 The three halls will interrogate the corpse and unravel the immortalWang Wei shook her head blankly. ”Something isn’t right. Everything was burned, so He Dingkun should definitely be dead. He was in terrible condition and should have died long ago; he was only hanging on because of the Feng Shui formation.”

Speaking to this point, she suddenly stood up. ”There must be another Feng Shui formation.”

Han Jingyang quickly asked, ”Do you have any leads?”

”No. He Dingkun is suspicious by nature. Just as he never let Shi Xiaoya contact me, he would also forbid me from contacting certain people and matters.”

”Then there’s nothing we can do. We’ll wait for an opportunity. Besides, even if He Dingkun doesn’t die, he won’t really be living. It’s fine if he’s just lying there half-dead; he won’t be in the way. Even if he does wake up, he won’t be able to cause any trouble. Let’s save the people first. Make sure you cooperate.”

”Alright.”

Han Jingyang pulled out his phone and called Shen Yuhai directly. ”Old Shen, things are looking up.”

Shen Yuhai was both surprised and delighted. ”Really?”

”Really.”

”You found the killer?”

”Found them. It’s just a bit unconventional. It’s best to bring people from the Bureau of Religious Affairs along. With their endorsement, this case will be simple.”

”Good, I’ll be there right away.”

The surprised and delighted Shen Yuhai hurriedly called the Bureau of Religious Affairs and rushed to Jinding No. 1 immediately.

Inside the villa.

Shen Yuhai was stunned as soon as he went upstairs. Looking at the spotless floor, he didn’t dare to step on it. He looked up at Han Jingyang on the sofa. ”Brother, what... what’s the situation?”

”Is there a problem?”

”You didn’t notice?”

”What?”

”This... this floor is incredibly clean. It’s completely different from the last time I came.”

”What did it look like last time?”

”It was gray, filthy, and the air was filled with a rotting, moldy smell. But now, I’d believe you if you said someone has been living here all along.”

”Hahaha, you were under an illusion.”

”Ah? Me?”

”Yes.”

”I knew it,” Shen Yuhai breathed a sigh of relief. ”Brother, help me break it quickly.”

Han Jingyang smiled and said, ”What I mean is, you and your colleagues were under an illusion when you came before. What you see now is the true face of the second floor of this villa.”

Shen Yuhai’s expression changed. ”Someone has been cleaning it all along?”

”Yes.”

”Someone is living here?”

”Yes.”

”Doesn’t that mean this person knows everything that happened in the villa?”

”No need to doubt it; the killer is this person.”

”You mean...”

”Wang Wei,” Han Jingyang sighed. ”Wang Wei’s parents weren’t ordinary people, and she isn’t an ordinary person either. She didn’t completely disappear after being killed; instead, she survived in a mysterious state. However, she can only move within the villa. Because of this, she has always regarded the villa as her private territory. Whoever buys this villa, she kills.”

Shen Yuhai’s eyes widened. ”Brother, for real?”

”Can this reason pass muster?”

”Of course. As long as the Bureau of Religious Affairs gives their opinion, we can close the case on our end. The premise is that what you say is true, brother. Evidence isn’t just up to one person’s word.”

”My word alone certainly doesn’t count. Once everyone arrives, I’ll invite the main party out for you.”

”Alright.”

Soon, the people from the Bureau of Religious Affairs arrived.

But the leader was no longer Zhang Zhiyang; it was Miss Tan.

Han Jingyang looked Miss Tan up and down. ”So, you’ve been promoted? Congratulations, congratulations.”

Miss Tan was still a bit shy. ”It’s all thanks to Mr. Han. I’ve been wanting to say thank you to Mr. Han but haven’t found the chance. Mr. Han, please look after me in the future.”

”Likewise, Section Chief Tan. Is everyone here?”

”Yes, everyone is here.”

”Then let’s begin.”

After Han Jingyang finished speaking, he stood up abruptly.

Shi Xiaoya and Liu Jing tacitly set up the table and arranged the divine statues. Incense, candles, and offerings were all prepared. They stepped back two paces, each holding a large blade, standing solemnly behind Han Jingyang like the Vajra warriors beside a Buddha, their presence filling the room.

Han Jingyang then took out the sanqing bell and began to shake it pretentiously.

After shaking it for a moment, he gave a light shout: ”Manifestation of Holiness!”

It wasn’t the first time Shen Yuhai and Miss Tan had experienced a ’Manifestation of Holiness’ moment, so they weren’t surprised. They immediately began observing their surroundings for suspicious clues.

But they found nothing.

They both turned their heads to look at Han Jingyang.

Han Jingyang, however, nodded slightly toward the space behind them.

Shen Yuhai and Miss Tan subconsciously turned around. Seeing a white figure standing behind them, one was so scared his old face turned pale as he stumbled back, while the other immediately drew a long sword, ready for battle.

Clearly, the former was Shen Yuhai and the latter was Miss Tan.

Despite Miss Tan’s young age and shy demeanor, her strength was actually quite good, and she had plenty of courage. Her reaction just now was proof, making it reasonable for her to become Zhang Zhiyang’s successor.

Han Jingyang coughed. ”Miss Tan, no need to be nervous. With me here, she won’t dare to act up.”

Shen Yuhai regained his footing and awkwardly straightened his clothes. ”Is she Wang Wei?”

”Yes.”

”No, it doesn’t quite look like her. Wang Wei was a bit taller, her nose wasn’t this sharp, and her build was more athletic than this.”

Han Jingyang looked at Shen Yuhai in surprise. ”Old Shen, not bad. You remember so clearly.”

Shen Yuhai said proudly, ”I was responsible for investigating this case, so of course I had to understand the victim’s details thoroughly. There were too few images of her at the time, so I went through surveillance and Skynet footage. I watched hundreds of gigabytes of video from beginning to end. Even after all these years, I can still accurately describe her face, build, and walking posture.”

Han Jingyang gave a thumbs up and praised, ”Impressive!”

Truly impressive.

Setting aside other aspects, his professionalism was beyond reproach. He was indeed a veteran police officer who had risen from the bottom; his professional quality and ability were top-notch.

After praising Shen Yuhai, he continued, ”This indeed isn’t Wang Wei. To be precise, this appearance isn’t Wang Wei’s. This is just a puppet shell that Wang Wei is temporarily inhabiting. It’s a domestic worker she created herself, which unexpectedly came in handy after her death. She can only communicate with us through this domestic worker now.”

Shen Yuhai was startled. ”She can still communicate?”

Han Jingyang nodded. ”In this manifested state, we can communicate with her through speech.”

Hearing this, Shen Yuhai stepped forward. ”Wang Wei, why did you kill Wang Binbin and Wang Xiaoyong?”

Wang Wei replied coldly, ”They wanted to tear down my home.”

”They had legal purchase documents.”

”To me, that’s just a piece of paper. I don’t recognize it. No one is allowed to touch a single brick or tile here.”

”You, you...”

Shen Yuhai was choked up because there was absolutely nothing he could do.

What could he say?

The law?

The person had become a ghost; was the law useful?

If a ghost still followed human laws, could it still be called a ghost?

But Shen Yuhai was Shen Yuhai after all. He took a deep breath. ”Do you know how heavy a blow your actions have dealt to their families?”

”What does that have to do with me?”

”How does it not have anything to do with you? As long as you still retain your memories and intelligence from when you were alive, you are still a person and should abide by the law and follow the right path. How can you kill someone just because of a disagreement?”

”How do you know it was just a disagreement?”
