Chapter 161: Resolution

Big-Eye Quan was torn apart and eaten by the fierce ghosts in the karaoke bar; his death was miserable.

Having died with deep resentment, Big-Eye Quan turned into a malicious ghost in the blink of an eye.

Big-Eye Quan had been fierce while alive, and after becoming a ghost upon death, he immediately laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I've become a ghost too! You bunch of dogs, I'll kill you all right now!"

As he spoke, the few fierce ghosts near him were knocked to the ground by a single slap from him.

The others were terrified and immediately retreated to Bo Bo's side.

Zhang Wei immediately took out his Ghost-Beating Stick and said, "Big-Eye Quan, even if you've become a ghost, it's not your turn to be arrogant."

Enemies are especially jealous when they meet; Big-Eye Quan glared at Zhang Wei and said, "You damn cop, it was you who caused my death! I'm going to kill you today!"

Big-Eye Quan immediately stretched his neck and opened his mouth to bite at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei used the Ghost-Beating Stick to strike Big-Eye Quan directly in the face, instantly snapping his head back.

Big-Eye Quan clutched his painful face and asked in surprise, "What is that thing in your hand? Why does it hurt so much when you hit me?"

Zhang Wei said calmly, "I forgot to tell you, the thing in my hand is called a Ghost-Beating Stick; it can cause damage even to a Ghost King, let alone you."

The other ghosts immediately huddled together and discussed, "So that's the Ghost-Beating Stick? That's too powerful."

"No wonder it hurt so much when it hit us before; it turns out it's specifically meant to deal with us."

"As expected, cops are not to be trifled with; it's true that even after death, one fears the cops."

Seeing that he was no match for Zhang Wei, Big-Eye Quan turned around and tried to run.

Zhang Wei threw the Ghost-Beating Stick directly, hitting Big-Eye Quan in the back; Big-Eye Quan let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground.

Zhang Wei shouted loudly, "You still want to run? Look at my magic treasure!"

Zhang Wei was seen taking out a Soul-Capturing Banner, which immediately sucked Big-Eye Quan inside.

Seeing this scene, the other ghosts trembled with fear; even Bo Bo felt lingering fear.

Zhang Wei turned back and smiled, "Don't worry, since I promised to help you fulfill your wishes, I naturally won't go back on my word."

"But you must also remember, once you have taken your revenge, you must leave and go where you belong. If you dare to stay in the human world to harm people, Big-Eye Quan's fate will be yours."

Zhang Wei grinned, scaring the other ghosts into lowering their heads, not daring to look him in the eye; only then did he leave, satisfied.

Early the next morning, Xu Rong arrived at the precinct, only to find that Big-Eye Quan was missing. Later, someone reported to the police that they had found a mangled, bloody Big-Eye Quan in the abandoned shop that was the New World Karaoke.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Lun immediately said, "This must be those ghosts taking revenge."

Ji Chi also chimed in, "They said they would take revenge, and they really did; it's truly terrifying."

Xu Rong's face turned livid as she said, "You two, stop talking nonsense here!"

Zuo Lun and Ji Chi hurriedly shut their mouths. After Xu Rong left, other colleagues quickly gathered around and asked, "Is it true or false?"

Zuo Lun immediately said, "It's true! That night we really saw ghosts. If it hadn't been for Inspector Zhang from the Miscellaneous Affairs Department saving us, we definitely would have been in grave danger."

Ji Ge asked in surprise, "So Inspector Zhang has real skills? Could he be the disciple of some master?"

The other colleagues immediately asked, "Brother Zuo, help us ask around and see whose disciple Inspector Zhang is, so we can go buy some peace talismans."

"Yeah, yeah, Brother Zuo, I'll treat you to tea."

Ji Ge hurriedly put his arm around Zuo Lun's shoulder and said, "Zuo Lun, look at how well I usually take care of you; if there's a good thing, don't forget about me."

Zuo Lun immediately said, "Brothers, please rest assured. We are all colleagues; I will definitely help you ask."

On the other side, Xu Rong was reporting the matter of Big-Eye Quan to her superior. She said to the Chief Inspector, "Sir, I suspect that Big-Eye Quan's disappearance has a lot to do with Inspector Zhang Wei of the Miscellaneous Affairs Department."

"I don't know what the Miscellaneous Affairs Department does, but he actually manages these feudal superstitions. I don't think this fits our identity as Royal Hong Kong Police."

The Chief Inspector said, "Inspector Xu, you might have just returned and don't know yet, but a while ago, the Governor established a Ghost-Catching Unit."

Xu Rong asked in surprise, "What? This is truly absurd."

The Chief Inspector raised his hand and said, "At first, everyone thought it was fake, but later many ghostly incidents occurred, and they were all solved by the Ghost-Catching Unit."

"The predecessor of the Miscellaneous Affairs Department was the Ghost-Catching Unit, and the person in charge of the Miscellaneous Affairs Department, Inspector Zhang Wei, is a consultant for the Ghost-Catching Unit."

"Inspector Xu, for some things, it is better to believe they exist than to believe they do not."

Xu Rong had not expected there to be such inside information, so she had to give up the idea of filing a complaint against Zhang Wei.

That night, inside a luxurious dance hall, Lan Du Kun brought his underlings to find Fa Lan Xi. He said with a worried face, "Brother Xi, every night recently I dream that Bo Bo from New World is bringing a group of vengeful spirits to find me for revenge."

Upon hearing this, Fa Lan Xi said, "You bastard, you ran back from the Philippines just to tell me this bullshit?" He lay back and said, "I think you've eaten too much shit in the Philippines; you're such a grown man and you're even afraid of having nightmares."

Lan Du Kun hurriedly said, "Brother Xi, this time it's different. It's mainly because it happens every time, and I heard that Big-Eye Quan died very miserably."

Fa Lan Xi dismissed it, saying, "Big-Eye Quan's death was an accident; the newspapers and television have both said so."

Lan Du Kun was still somewhat dissatisfied and said, "That matter with Bo Bo, it was originally you, Brother Xi, who wanted to have Bo Bo..."

Fa Lan Xi immediately interrupted, "You bunch of bastards! I only told you to scare her; who told you to set a fire? A bunch of bastards who can't accomplish anything but ruin everything. Damn it, one only knows how to gamble, the other only knows how to play with women; it's good that they're dead."

Lan Du Kun whispered, "But this matter is really evil."

Fa Lan Xi said triumphantly, "Damn it, what the hell am I afraid of? These seven Buddha statues were consecrated by a high monk from Thailand, and I've worshipped them for a full year, chanting Buddhist scriptures for a year. Who dares to get close to me?"

Lan Du Kun hurriedly asked, "Brother Xi, can you lend them to me to wear?"

Fa Lan Xi immediately stood up and said, "Have you lost your mind? If I let you wear them, what will I wear?"

Lan Du Kun said with a bitter face, "Then what should I do?"

Fa Lan Xi looked fierce, glared at Lan Du Kun, and said, "Find a way yourself! Get out!"

Lan Du Kun did not dare to anger Fa Lan Xi and immediately left with his few underlings.

Zuo Lun and Ji Chi received the news; they drove their car and waited outside the dance hall.

Before long, they saw Lan Du Kun coming out with his underlings.

Zuo Lun immediately shouted, "Hey, stop playing around, Lan Du Kun is out."

Ji Chi hurriedly drew his pistol and followed Zuo Lun as he left to chase after Lan Du Kun.

Zuo Lun immediately shouted, "Lan Du Kun, I suspect you are involved in the New World Karaoke arson case from a year ago. Come back with us for investigation immediately."

Lan Du Kun immediately turned back and said, "Hack them!"

The few lackeys nearby immediately made their move, and Zuo Lun hurriedly spoke up to warn them: "You all are committing a grave offense."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Ji Chi's pistol was kicked away, and immediately after, Zuo Lun's gun was also knocked out of his hand.

Facing the pursuit and hacking of several people, the two were so scared they immediately fled.

But they hadn't run more than a few steps before they realized those few hoodlums were acting rather strange.

Ji Chi immediately said: "It's that girl who came to save me."

Zuo Lun immediately said: "I know now, it's that Red Shoes."

Seeing this eerie scene, Lan Du Kun recalled the nightmares he had been having these past few days and was so frightened he immediately ran away.

Zuo Lun and Ji Chi found their service pistols and had no choice but to return to their dormitory first.

As soon as they returned, Ji Chi went to take a shower, and then the Red Shoes girl and Ji Chi had a bath together, though the sounds were a bit loud.

Xu Rong was working when she heard loud shouting coming from the neighboring dormitory, so she immediately came over to knock on the door and said: "What are you doing? You're truly perverts."

Just as Zuo Lun opened the door, Feiji's loud cries came from inside.

Before Zuo Lun could even get a word in, Xu Rong immediately turned and left.

At this moment, Zhang Wei happened to walk over, and Zuo Lun hurriedly asked: "Inspector Zhang, why are you here?"

Zhang Wei said: "Your good brother Ji Chi is playing poker with a ghost."

Zuo Lun said in surprise: "Ji Chi is that sharp?"

Zhang Wei walked straight in and shouted: "Humans and ghosts walk different paths; I advise you to leave immediately."

The Red Shoes girl immediately appeared, took one fearful look at Zhang Wei, and left.

Ji Chi hurriedly chased after her and said regretfully: "Inspector Zhang, why did you drive her away?"

Zhang Wei said with some amusement: "Are you addicted? Let me tell you, when a human plays poker with a ghost, they will lose Yang energy; after a long time, you will fall deathly ill, or even die."

"I see that girl didn't understand, so this time it was just a warning, but next time it won't be so easy."

Outside the door, the Red Shoes girl heard this and realized she had done a bad thing despite her good intentions.

However, she heard Xu Rong next door speaking ill of Ji Chi, so she immediately entered Xu Rong's room and began to scare her.

Xu Rong happened to be reviewing documents, but the documents before her eyes suddenly turned into a toilet, and immediately after, the computer also turned into a toilet.

Xu Rong was in the middle of researching the Ghost-Catching Unit, and seeing this anomaly, she was instantly terrified.

She muttered: "Hallucination, hallucination, it must be a hallucination; it must be that I'm too tired from work."

"Sss, sss, sss."

The lights in the room flickered on and off, and the sound of dripping water came from the bathroom next door.

Xu Rong recalled the methods of ghost intimidation mentioned in the documents, and these were exactly the types.

Terrified, she immediately got up, rushed into her bedroom, hid under the covers, and shivered.

But the Red Shoes girl did not want to let Xu Rong off easily, so she pinned Xu Rong down and began to control her body to perform various movements.

And since Xu Rong happened to be wearing only a very long shirt, her charms were fully exposed while performing these movements.

But she could not make a sound and could only watch herself being toyed with.

After playing for a while, the Red Shoes girl finally let Xu Rong go.

Xu Rong realized she could move, so she immediately got up, rushed out of the room, went outside, and knocked on Zuo Lun's door.

Seeing Xu Rong, Zuo Lun asked in confusion: "Inspector Xu, aren't you afraid we are perverts?"

Xu Rong's face was a bit pale, and she smiled awkwardly: "Not afraid, men and women are equal, right? There are female perverts in this world too, aren't there?"

As she spoke, she squeezed past Zuo Lun and entered the room; now, she would rather face perverts than face a ghost—it was too scary.

As soon as Xu Rong entered, she saw Zhang Wei sitting on the sofa, so she hurriedly sat down beside him and said: "Inspector Zhang, you're here too?"

Zhang Wei looked at Xu Rong with suspicion and noticed she felt different from when they first met; he asked in confusion: "Inspector Xu, why is your face so pale, and you're sweating?"

Xu Rong hurriedly defended herself: "It's nothing, it might be sweat from just exercising."

After she finished speaking, she looked elsewhere to avoid her embarrassment, only to see a ghost float right past.

"Ah!"

Xu Rong was startled and threw herself directly into Zhang Wei's arms.

Looking at the terrified beauty in his arms, Zhang Wei said with some helplessness: "Inspector Xu, you acting like this makes it very easy for people to commit crimes."

Xu Rong sobered up a bit, hurriedly got up, sat to the side, picked up the remote, and said: "Watch TV, watch TV."

As soon as she changed the channel, she saw a bleeding ghost appear on the television.

Xu Rong screamed in fright and once again threw herself into Zhang Wei's arms.

Zhang Wei said again: "Inspector Xu, if you do this, I'm going to have a reaction."

Xu Rong hurriedly got up and said: "Didn't you see anything just now?"

Zhang Wei shook his head and said: "No."

In truth, he knew everything, but letting the Red Shoes girl scare Xu Rong was fine; that way, she wouldn't hinder him from doing his work.

Xu Rong sat down, still shaken, but before long, she felt a pair of cold hands touching her ankles.

Xu Rong jumped straight up and sat on Zhang Wei's lap, and Zhang Wei immediately felt that bouncy sensation.

Zhang Wei sighed and said: "Inspector Xu, this is very bad; I really can't hold back anymore."

Xu Rong smiled awkwardly: "I know, I felt it, but you can't touch me; you can only touch yourself."

Zhang Wei laughed: "Then why did you say men and women are equal?"

Xu Rong threw caution to the wind and said: "That's right, but being unreasonable is a woman's prerogative, is that not allowed?"

Zhang Wei laughed: "Allowed, whatever you say is allowed, then I can only passively enjoy it."

Lying in Zhang Wei's arms, Xu Rong discovered the ghost hadn't come to trouble her, and she felt much more at ease.

Having calmed down, Xu Rong immediately realized something was wrong; she looked straight at Zhang Wei and asked: "Inspector Zhang, your Miscellaneous Affairs Department handles ghost matters, right?"

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "That's right, and not just that, we also handle the anomalies from the West."

Xu Rong looked at Zhang Wei suspiciously and asked, "Then, Inspector Zhang, you can see anomalies?"

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Of course, that's a basic skill."

Xu Rong frowned and said, "Fine, since you can see anomalies, why did you just stand there and watch me make a fool of myself?"

Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "Inspector Xu, you can't put it that way. I remember you kept saying you believe in science."

Xu Rong suddenly realized she was in the wrong and immediately said, "Then why didn't you subdue that anomaly just now?"

Zhang Wei laughed and said, "You were holding onto me the whole time, I couldn't move."

Xu Rong hurriedly stood up, feeling shy, and Zhang Wei added, "I can't catch it now; it's almost dawn, and the anomaly has gone back."

Xu Rong lowered her head and said, "I understand."

Immediately after, she left.

Zuo Lun hurriedly said, "Inspector Zhang is impressive."

Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "Alright, next is to catch Gambling Kun and Fa Lan Xi; I will take action."
