Chapter 88: Female Ghost

"I don't know... First of all, I declare, I knew that I would definitely have to pull an all-nighter for this job yesterday, so I drank three cups of coffee in advance. At that time, I definitely wasn't sleepy, and my eyes weren't blurry." Wang Defa emphasized specifically.

"Speak quickly, as long as what you say is the truth, no matter how outrageous it is, we won't do anything to you," Qi Fei urged.

"It's just that after Hong Mei sent Huang Daqiu away, wasn't she losing her temper there? Suddenly, there was a flash behind her. I felt... I saw a female ghost appear in her room. I swear, it was just in the blink of an eye, a female ghost in white clothes with disheveled hair floating in the air. If it weren't for my shutter speed not being fast enough..."

"You, how come you didn't capture it at the critical moment? Is the title of the number one paparazzi in the country just bragging?" Qi Fei complained helplessly. Of course, he wouldn't believe the female ghost theory. "That is to say, there was another person in Hong Mei's room, right?"

"I said it wasn't a person, it was a female ghost," Wang Defa claimed with unusual firmness.

"Hiss, I say you paparazzi, have you seen a ghost before or what? Why do you distinguish between humans and ghosts so clearly?" Qi Fei was puzzled.

Wu Shanqiu whispered in Qi Fei's ear: "Can you tell if he's lying? Should we ask our consultant to step in?"

"Believe his ghost!" Qi Fei said to Wu Shanqiu unpleasantly, then continued to stare at Wang Defa. "Assume, I'm just assuming, you really saw a ghost, what's the basis?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Defa said without hesitation: "I indeed haven't seen a ghost, but I can be sure that what I saw wasn't a person. This thing was semi-transparent and floating in the air, how could it be a person? Of course, it's also possible that my eyes were blurry. It was just for a moment. Maybe I stared at that room for too long, and it suddenly went dark. What's that called? Visual persistence." This slippery guy saw that Qi Fei's attitude wasn't good and started to leave a way out for his words. Looking at the two police officers in front of him with straight faces and full of doubts, he muttered with some regret, "Forget it, I said I didn't want to say it."

When Qi Fei and Wu Shanqiu brought Wang Defa out of the interrogation room, Wu Shanqiu said "Eh" first: "As expected of the Great Immortal, she appeared as soon as she was thought of."

Zhong Kui didn't know when she had appeared in the corridor.

Since their meeting at Zizai Shan last time, Qi Fei hadn't seen Zhong Kui. He didn't know why, but every time he saw Zhong Kui after a period of time, she looked even more radiant than the last time. However, at this moment, her eyes looking at Qi Fei were empty, just like the first time she saw him, as if she were a computer whose data had been reset after a reboot. This made Qi Fei suspect once again whether his ambiguous dream was true or false.

"Your girlfriend?" Wang Defa observed Qi Fei's expression and said from the side.

"No," Qi Fei denied immediately.

"Don't insult my professional ability, I'm in this business," Wang Defa showed a paparazzi's gossiping smile.

Zhong Kui clearly heard their conversation and showed the charming smile that Qi Fei was familiar with. Qi Fei knew she was going to make trouble again and felt a great sense of foreboding. Sure enough, she had already walked up to Qi Fei with a seductive posture, grabbed Qi Fei's arm, and smiled sweetly: "Honey, I miss the feeling of that night so much..."

"Ah!" Wu Shanqiu couldn't help but let out a small exclamation from the side, looking at Qi Fei in surprise. "Brother Fei, have you developed so quickly?"

"What are you thinking, that's not what it means!" Qi Fei couldn't defend himself, and he was embarrassed to shake off Zhong Kui's hand. His face turned red all at once.

Qi Fei was panicking when Zhong Kui's gaze fell on Wang Defa. After sizing him up for a while, she finally let go of Qi Fei's arm, leaned close to Wang Defa, and stared straight at him, making Wang Defa feel creepy.

"You need to be careful lately..." Zhong Kui said this in a delicate voice, but for some reason, it made people's hair stand on end. "Eyes dim, complexion pale, forehead black, hmm, it seems you've encountered something unclean."

When Wang Defa heard this, his face turned green: "You, how did you know?"

"Because I..." Zhong Kui was about to say, but Qi Fei had already covered her mouth with one hand and said to Wang Defa, "Don't listen to her, her brain isn't quite normal..."

Saying this, he dragged Zhong Kui to the side and whispered: "Don't forget we've already laid our cards on the table. Don't use that superstitious set to pretend to be a ghost!"

"I am a shaman, this is part of Zhong Xiaoyu's setting for me, I can't change it," Zhong Kui said, unmoved.

"Why did you suddenly run over here?"

"It's not sudden. I came down the mountain much earlier than you. I came to pick up a business, and then I found out you went too. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"What do you mean? We went too? You went to Yun Shen Secret Realm?" Qi Fei reacted immediately.

"When you came to find me, I received an order from Yun Shen Secret Realm, saying that they were haunted and wanted me to exorcise demons. The price was high. You also know that my order-taking cycle is more than a week. I was doing homework when I heard that someone died there."

"Heard? This matter is strictly confidential, how did you know?"

"Ha, I'm a consultant, of course I have to know."

"Sigh! Is it that big mouth Captain Liu?"

"Roar, you call your superior a big mouth."

"Wow, is this the point?!"

"Wait, I'm interrupting your flirting. I just want to ask, can I go now?" Wang Defa listened for a long time and finally couldn't help but ask cautiously.

Zhong Kui continued to size up Wang Defa: "Have you already seen that thing lately?"

When Wang Defa heard this, he felt even more bizarre and opened his eyes wide at Zhong Kui to ask: "Ah, who exactly are you?"

"I'm this police officer's girlfriend, haven't you already seen it? Of course, my profession is fortune-telling. You can come to me if you need anything later," Zhong Kui really didn't blink when telling lies.

When Wang Defa heard this, he smiled meaningfully at Qi Fei: "This Sir finds such a special girlfriend?"

Qi Fei warned seriously: "Regarding Hong Mei's case, if you dare to talk nonsense on the internet and interfere with the investigation, it won't be as simple as detention!"

Wang Defa promised timidly and left.

Qi Fei then turned to Zhong Kui: "Tell me, who asked you to go to Yun Shen Secret Realm?"

"Their manager, Bao Chuchu, is from Sanwu Town. She placed an order in my merit box, saying that the place where she worked was haunted and asked me to exorcise demons. Before you came to find me that day, she had just been there."

"Bao Chuchu?" Qi Fei couldn't help but feel his heart sink. This person had made him suspicious from the beginning. If he hadn't insisted on finding the sick cleaning lady to investigate, no one would have mentioned the haunting of Yun Shen Secret Realm to them. ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
