Chapter 363: Crime Scene

“The big issue is, how did you manage to log in to your previous life’s account?”

Boss Zhou remembered that when he came back to life, he had been busy for the whole afternoon trying to log in to his previous social media account, but he had not succeeded.

Either he had to get a replacement phone card, or he had to authenticate as a friend, which was not feasible.

Now Old Zhang could use his old wechat directly,

it made boss Zhou feel very unbalanced.

“Uh, I found this in my relic,”Zhang Yanfeng replied.

“Relic?”

“Yes, I went home. After my son came to the bookstore the day before yesterday, he went back to school to attend classes. I went home and took my phone.”

Zhou ze nodded. So that was the case.

But he was still very unhappy.

“Do you need to go and take a look at this matter?”Zhang Yanfeng asked.

Old Zhang was still not used to the current life and circumstances, but as long as there were cases that could be solved and investigated, he would immediately be full of vitality. Even his life could be filled with hope.

“Forget it. Didn’t you say yesterday that you wanted to take some time to go back to Yancheng to take a look? Although the owner of this body doesn’t have a child, he still has a mother. Since you used his body, you should do your duty for him.

“He is also a good policeman. All of you…”

It was not easy.”

Old Zhang fell silent when he heard this. Then, he nodded.

The police knew more about the police. He had been a criminal police for twenty years, and many of his former comrades had died. He was very clear about this kind of sadness.

“Okay, then I’ll leave in the afternoon.”Old Zhang decided.

“Go to the counter and get some money. If you run into trouble, you can burn some ghost money.”

“Okay, got it.”

“I’ll take some time to go to the school this afternoon.”

“Okay.”

Old Zhang sat back down and focused on his breakfast.

Zhou Ze held old Zhang’s phone and looked at the pictures repeatedly.

The pictures were very bloody,

they were very brutal,

no wonder the newspapers did not dare to publish the pictures of the scene.

The deaths of two university students in one day should be a big deal. Zhou Ze’s original intention was to take a look first and see the results of the police investigation.

If the police identified the suspect and confirmed that it was done by a human, then he could rest and not move.

However, boss Zhou was worried that if it was really done by a ghost, if he let it go and caused the next death, he might also bear some responsibility.

In addition, during the escape of the evil ghosts last time, Zhou Ze earned a lot of GPA. He was only 300 points away from reaching the 1,000 GPA mark. After catching a few evil ghosts to fill the gap.., he only needed to catch a few more idiots like Liu Chuyu to be promoted to constable.

Normally, two or three kittens could only be used as bait. Only a big fish in such a big case could arouse Zhou salted fish’s subjective initiative.

After noon,

old Zhang drove Xu Qinglang’s Nissan to Salt City,

he watched the car disappear from his sight,

zhou Ze was a little envious of old Zhang,

perhaps..,

this was retribution?

Retribution here was no longer a derogatory term.

A hero in his previous life..,

in this life, he had casually borrowed a corpse to resurrect himself, but he was actually a hero as well.

It was different from inheriting Xu Le’s body,

towards Xu Le..,

zhou Ze had nothing to feel guilty about,

replacing his identity, replacing his life, this could only be considered a cycle of karma.

However, Old Zhang had a special respect and affection for his body. After three years of undercover work, the other party had finally spread the news to the outside world, allowing the operation to succeed and even sacrificing himself. This kind of unsung hero was truly admirable.

Since he had inherited the other party’s body, the other party’s family would definitely have to bear the burden as well.

The only fortunate thing was that the other party didn’t have a family or children, which saved him a lot of trouble.

He didn’t have to bear any ethical or moral burdens.

Outside, the wind started to blow. Zhou Ze yawned and let himself out of his thoughts. He turned to look at the Little Loli who was still studying her tongue and shouted,

“Lin Ke, stop playing with your tongue. Come with me.”

..

Tongcheng University was not a famous university. It had nothing to do with 211 or 985, but it was considered the best university in Tongcheng. The comprehensive strength of the medical school there was pretty good.

After entering the school, Zhou Ze tried to find the dormitory where the accident happened. After making two rounds, he finally found it. It was in a relatively remote area, not in the original dormitory area.

It was said that in order to make room for international students, the local students who originally lived here were arranged to go to the old dormitory area.

And the two cases happened in the old dormitory area.

In the female dormitory, Zhou Ze asked Lin Ke to check the situation, while in the male dormitory, Zhou Ze walked in by himself.

Although there was a murder case, at most that dormitory would not arrange for people to live in this year. The other dormitories in the dormitory building were still occupied as usual.

Otherwise, it would not be easy to arrange a temporary accommodation for a thousand people.

Of course..,

even if someone had died..,

after a year or two, there would definitely be some ignorant juniors who would move in. It was also a waste of resources, wasn’t it?

The door of the dormitory was affixed with a police seal. From time to time, there would be students carrying a basin and a foot basin nearby. However, when they passed by the door affixed with the seal, they obviously quickened their pace.

Boss Zhou tore the seal and walked in.

Some students saw it, but they thought it was the police or someone sent by the school to investigate, so no one came up to ask.

He closed the door,

he carefully observed the dormitory,

the body had long been disposed of and moved. Many of the things inside had also been taken away as evidence. The rest were the luggage of the roommates. They must have also taken them away.

Only the bedding and daily necessities of the deceased were left where they were.

This dormitory was facing the sun, and the air was quite circulating. Moreover, Zhou Ze did not sense any ghost qi or remnants of resentment inside.

After confirming that there was nothing else, Zhou Ze pushed open the dormitory door and hung the seal back on. When he turned around and was about to leave, he saw a young man wearing underpants and an undershirt with a basketball in his hand standing in front of him, he was looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

“Who are you?”The other party asked.

Zhou Ze ignored him and turned around to leave.

However, the other party suddenly threw the basketball at Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze’s reaction was faster than his. In the past, many times he had broken down and become paralyzed after opening a peerless, it was actually more like the “Body tempering”in wuxia novels. At the very least, it was much better than the sickly xu Le in the past, his physical fitness had improved by too much.

He turned around and waved his hand. The basketball was swatted away.

However, the young man pounced forward again and directly crashed into Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze’s nails grew out slightly. He subconsciously wanted to stab into the opponent’s body, but he still hesitated for a moment.

It was this hesitation that caused Zhou Ze to be knocked to the ground by the young man.

The other party reached out and grabbed Zhou Ze’s collar, shouting,

“Who are you!”

“Police,”Zhou Ze replied.

“Bullsh * t, I grew up in the police station compound, so I don’t know you!”

Zhou Ze was a little helpless,

he had met the second generation of police.

The commotion over here immediately affected the other students nearby. Seeing that there was a fight, many onlookers immediately gathered.

“I’m sorry, many criminals have the habit of returning to their own crime scenes to observe. I’m going to call the police now and send you to the police station. If I’ve wronged you, I’ll apologize to you and also give you financial compensation!”

Because Zhou Ze had lied about being a police officer, the young man’s suspicions were aggravated. He gestured for his companions to keep an eye on Zhou Ze while taking out their phones and making a call.

..

The Little Loli walked out of the female dormitory building. She had already entered the dormitory building and did not find anything unusual. Just as she was waiting for Zhou Ze to come down, she saw Zhou Ze being escorted out of the dormitory by a group of students.

Upon seeing this scene, the Little Loli was stunned.

She even..,

mischievously waved at the boss,

she stuck out her tongue.

Zhou ze glanced at the Little Loli who was gloating over her misfortune.

The police car arrived very quickly. When Zhou Ze was escorted to the school gate, a police car had already stopped there.

“Xiao Feng, what’s Wrong?”

A female police officer got out of the police car,

she was thin and tall,

she looked like a hemp pole.

“SIS, we caught a guy who tore open the seal and sneaked into the crime scene. He even lied to me that he was a police officer.”

The female police officer immediately looked at Zhou Ze. Then, she was stunned and shouted,

“Mr. Xu?”

..

“I’m very sorry, Mr. Xu. It’s my fault. I was rash.”The young student named Zhou Feng stood up from his seat and bowed to Zhou Ze in apology.

Zhou ze waved his hand, indicating that everything was fine.

The female police officer who had rushed over was an acquaintance.

When Old Zhang had asked Zhou Ze to solve the case, he had asked this female police officer to drive Zhou Ze back more than once.

In fact, Zhou Ze was still a consultant to the police station in name, but Old Zhang, who had asked Zhou Ze back then, was no longer there.

But at least this identity could temporarily wash away Zhou Ze’s suspicion that he was the murderer.

“Mr. Xu is interested in this case?”The policewoman asked Zhou Ze.

“Yes, Old Zhang asked me in a dream, hoping that I would come to take a look at this case with Snot and tears, so I came.”

The policewoman and the young man didn’t think that Zhou Ze was joking. They thought that Zhou Ze was suffering from old Zhang’s sacrifice, so he deliberately used this tone to hide his sadness.

“I want to help investigate this case. Is that okay?”Zhou ze asked.

“Well, it’s okay, but I need to apply to the higher-ups. This case is really tricky now. So far, there’s no clue at all.”

Zhou ze nodded and said, “Can you tell me about the specific details of the victim, such as his personality and lifestyle, as well as the recent changes, and the internal investigation clues? You Don’t have to reveal them to me. I know it’s not convenient for you either.”

In the past, when old Zhang was around..,

there was nothing inconvenient about it,

old Zhang wished that he could bring Zhou Ze, this ghost detective, with him at all times to help him investigate the case, just like Detective Conan,

the confidential file only stipulated that it couldn’t be revealed to unrelated people,

but there was no rule that it couldn’t be revealed to unrelated ghosts.

“Mr. Xu, if you want to know about this, I can tell you,”Zhou Feng said.

“Oh?”

“Because the deceased, Liu Haonan, was my roommate. I only moved out of that dormitory after he died.

Liu Haonan,

was also my good friend.”
