Midnight Bookstore Chapter 392 – The Clue!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Outside the interrogation room, a group of people had arrived, and there was a commotion outside as well.

Zhou Ze heard Old Zhang's voice as if he was explaining something. However, just like how one hated the lack of a book when it came to its use, one hated the lack of an official when it came to its use.

Very soon…

the door to the interrogation room was pushed open,

Old Zhang stood at the door and looked at Zhou Ze somewhat helplessly.

Without resorting to force, Old Zhang had already stalled to the limit.

Zhou Ze was about to get up, but his hand was grabbed by Lawyer An who was still sitting there with his eyes closed. Lawyer An said in a deep voice,

“Hold me, let us go. He, stay.”

Zhou Ze glanced at the still muddle-headed old Daoist. He helped Lawyer An up and walked out.

When they reached the parking lot outside, Zhou Ze had just released his hand when an leaned against the car window and panted heavily. There were even traces of blood dripping from the corner of his eyes. He looked extremely miserable.

“Hiss…”

An took a deep breath,

he tried to open his eyes,

however, he only felt that his vision was blurry,

even a little bit of light could make him feel very uncomfortable.

He had no choice,

Lawyer An had no choice but to close his eyes again.

“Boss.”

“The old Daoist wasn't rescued?”

Bai Yingying and the Little Loli also walked over.

“Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!”

The little monkey was held in Bai Yingying's arms. At this moment, he was waving his claws excitedly. Seeing that the old Daoist was brought out together, the little monkey was very anxious.

He was the reincarnation of a spiritual monkey and was exceptionally intelligent. He naturally knew that if the matter weren't too troublesome, the boss and the others would definitely bring the old Daoist out together.

“Let's get in the car first.”

Zhou Ze helped Lawyer An open the car door and helped the lawyer into the car. Then, Zhou Ze got into the car as well.

The car drove out of the police station and stopped at the junction of the street lights.

Lawyer An opened the car door and stumbled out. He bent down and started retching.

“Carsick?”

Bai Yingying asked curiously.

Although Lawyer An drove himself, some people didn't get carsick when they drove, but they did get very dizzy when they drove.

Zhou Ze handed over a bottle of mineral water and helped Lawyer An open the cap.

Lawyer An took the bottle of mineral water and poured it on his face. He wiped it hard. Finally, he heaved a sigh of relief and said,

“This is a bit troublesome. This old man wasn't hypnotized. He was cursed.”

“Cursed?” Zhou Ze frowned.

He had rarely experienced curses. The last time was when the rich old man was cursed by the sea G.o.d.

“Yes, he was cursed. The curse is too powerful. I can't undo it. Now, only by finding the person who cast the curse can I undo it.”

Then…

Lawyer An took the tissue from Bai Yingying and wiped his face. He reminded her:

“By the way, the one who cast the spell might not be a human. It might be something evil. Some things used for sacrifices might also contain a spell.”

“What is that thing?” The Little Loli asked.

“How the h.e.l.l Should I know?”Lawyer An suddenly waved his hands and roared, “I was almost locked in and couldn't get out. I was almost controlled by that thing.

“It's like an infectious disease, an infectious disease! ! ! !”

As he spoke,

Lawyer An held his head,

he squatted down,

he said in a low voice,

“I'm sorry, I lost my composure…”

“Boss?” Bai Yingying looked at Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze took a deep breath and said, “Investigate!”

Yes, investigate the matter clearly. Since this matter had involved the old Daoist and the people in the study room, Zhou Ze could not sit idly by.

Previously, he might have helped Old Zhang investigate the case out of interest and found something to do.

But this time, he was going to do it for real.

“Yingying.”

“Yes, Boss.”

“Call Zheng Qiang, Liu Chuyu, and Yueya. Tell them to drop everything they're doing and come over immediately. Tell them that if they're late, I'll break someone's soul blood.”

“Okay, Boss.”

“Lin Ke, go and find Old Zhang Now. In any case, he has just been transferred out of the Special Task Force. Tell him to take a leave of absence. There's no need to rely on the police for this matter. We'll investigate it ourselves.”

The Little Loli nodded. “I'll go right away.”

Zhou Ze bent down and reached out to Pat Lawyer An on the shoulder. He asked,

“You're not scared out of your wits, are you?”

“I'm fine.”An waved his hand. “But there's one thing I have to remind you. Once you find any clues, don't alert the enemy. Even I almost fell for it. They won't be able to stop you.”

“I understand.”

“Old Daoist, let him stay at the police station for now. After all, it's the judicial organ of the Yang realm, so it has a certain restraining effect on curses. Moreover, even if he eats peanuts, it'll take a long time after a series of procedures.

“However, you have to think of a problem and make preparations first, because you can't use a conclusion of an unnatural phenomenon to go to the police station and ask the police to release him, and the court will not accept your evidence

“We'll talk about what happens after that. No matter what, we can't watch Old Daoist lose his life just like that.”

“Ha, it's rare to see you so serious.”

Lawyer An stood up. “I'll go back and rest first. Sharpening a knife doesn't delay the work of chopping wood. They should all be here by midnight. At that time, we'll first summarize the information we have and then a.s.sign tasks to investigate.”

“Dong Dong Dong!”

“Dong Dong Dong!”

“Who is it? Who Is It? ! Why is he knocking so hard on the door? !”

A middle-aged woman opened the door. Her hair was still wet and she was wearing pajamas, revealing a lot of her skin. However, she did not mind opening the door and meeting people.

“Do you know this person?”Zhou Ze took out a photo of the old Daoist.

The woman was stunned for a moment and immediately shook her head. “No, who knows this old man?”

As soon as she said that…

the woman was about to close the door.

Bai Yingying, who was next to her, blocked the door with her hand. Then, she exerted a little more force, and the door was pushed open. The woman fell to the ground.

Playing tug-of-war with a female zombie, her brain must be stuck in the door, right?

“Are you the police?” The woman sat on the ground and shouted.

Zhou Ze walked in directly, and Bai Yingying closed the door.

Then…

Bai Yingying consciously lifted the woman up. She held the woman's hands behind her back with one hand and strangled the woman's neck with the other.

“Answer the boss's question properly. Otherwise, I'll break your neck.”

As she spoke, Bai Yingying exerted a little strength on her wrist. The woman wanted to cry out in pain, but her neck was strangled by Bai Yingying, so she could not cry out.

The female zombie who had been “Sobbing” in front of Zhou Ze all this time…

when she was working outside, she was definitely not an easy person to deal with.

In order to save time and get straight to the point, it was usually easiest to teach the other party a lesson first. Zhou Ze was not a police officer, so of course, he could do things more freely.

“Yesterday afternoon, did he come to look for you?” Zhou Ze asked.

The woman was now well-behaved. She could be considered as someone who had experienced the world of mortals. Judging from the way these two people acted, they were not police officers at all.

It was precisely because she had sensed that the other party was not a police officer that she was even more afraid.

“He did come to look for me, but I've already told the police everything that should be said. You know, I was still thinking of his good qualities. Although he's a little older, his work is very good,

“He's much better than those 20-something-year-olds with silver guns and wax heads. He also knows how to be interesting and considerate. He knows to adjust first and won't take off his pants directly…”

Bai Yingying listened with great interest,

these things…

were not found in the self-cultivation of a maid.

Zhou Ze raised his hand. “There's no need to explain this in detail.”

He still wanted to hear it

Bai Yingying shouted in her heart.

“Oh, okay.”The woman pursed her lips, she continued, “Who would have thought that that b.a.s.t.a.r.d would run up to me and kill someone right after he was done here? I was also investigated by the police and almost, almost, I went in too. Tell me, can my profession withstand investigation?”

“Did he do anything unusual that day?”Zhou Ze asked.

“Unusual?”The woman shook her head. “I didn't feel anything. It lasted as long as usual. However, after the second transaction, when he paid the bill, he said that he had left his phone at the house upstairs. He went up to get his phone, but he did not come back.

“I thought it was strange at the time. Logically speaking, he isn't a stingy person, and he wouldn't hack the hard-earned money of people like us. Moreover, I already said that there was no need to give it, but he said that he would definitely give it. Why didn't I hear from him?

Then…

the police came.”

“After he left, he didn't come back, right?”Zhou Ze asked.

“He didn't come back. Later, the police came and arrested him. They said that he killed someone, and the person he killed was still the old man who lived upstairs.

I was puzzled. How could two old men kill each other after quarreling? Did they really treat themselves as young and impetuous dolls?”

“Nothing else? What I'm saying is that he came to your place twice. has there been any change between the two times?”

“You're a man, so you should understand…”

“If there's a first time, the second time will last.”

“…” Zhou Ze.

“Oh, speaking of changes, there is one.”The woman suddenly thought of something. She pondered for a moment and continued, “I remember that every time he came when he took off his pants, he would take out a talisman.”

Zhou Ze's eyes suddenly turned sharp,

the old Daoist's talisman!

“He said that this was his trick and even bragged to me about how powerful this talisman was. Every time he came and took off his pants, he would take out the talisman and even stick it on me.”

Zhou Ze shook his head,

this was the old Daoist's self-defense mode after he was tricked by the white fox in the clubhouse last time,

he took the talisman paper and pasted it on,

when the last line of defense,

do not fail again.

Thanks to this guy,

when he got in the car, he went to check if the license plate was a set car.

“But the second time, when he took off his pants, there was no talisman paper. I even asked him. He said that he left it on, and then we started the second time.”

Zhou Ze suddenly stood up,

talisman paper,

the crux of the problem was found,

that was,

between the two times,

what did he use the talisman paper on?!
