Chapter 839: She Is Not Dead

This state counts as self-protection; if her soul were sent back into her body now, she would still come back to life, but if more than three days pass and the soul cannot return, she will truly be dead.

"Zhou Jing is not dead," Chen Yu said in a deep voice. "This is a soul-loss state."

"What did you say? She isn't dead? Auntie, what on earth is going on? You..." Zhou Xinyan hurriedly turned to look at Zhou Mu.

But Zhou Mu's expression had already changed, and she shouted, "You all leave! My daughter is already dead. Don't disturb her anymore. Isn't it better to let her go in peace?"

"Auntie, we don't have any malicious intent. Chen Yu says your daughter isn't dead; he has a way to save your daughter and bring her back," Zhou Xinyan said anxiously.

"He's talking nonsense! My daughter is already dead. The police have already looked and said her death was an accident. You all leave." Zhou Mu seemed like a different person; she walked forward and pushed the two of them toward the exit. "She will be cremated tomorrow, don't disturb her."

"But..." Zhou Xinyan still wanted to say something, but Chen Yu pulled her to the side. "Fine, since that's the case, we'll leave first. Auntie, whether she is dead or not, you know in your own heart."

"I don't know what hidden circumstances are involved here, but your daughter is truly a very good girl. If you have a secret, just tell us, and I can still save her," Chen Yu said, staring at Zhou Mu.

A flicker of hesitation flashed through Zhou Mu's eyes, but then it vanished immediately. She shrieked, "You all leave! She died of sudden death, she has nothing to do with you, you all leave..."

"Let's go." Chen Yu didn't say another word; he pulled Zhou Xinyan and left.

"Chen Yu, is Zhou Jing really still saveable?" On the way out, Zhou Xinyan kept looking back.

"Of course she is still saveable," Chen Yu said indifferently. "Because she isn't dead at all."

"Then why don't you save her?" Zhou Xinyan stopped abruptly. "This is a living, vibrant life."

"I didn't say I wouldn't save her, it's just that I need to figure out what is going on. Besides, Zhou Jing's mother's reaction is a bit extreme; I feel she definitely knows what is happening," Chen Yu said.

"But why won't she say it? This is her own biological daughter. Her daughter isn't dead, and now someone has a way to save her, so why won't she tell the truth?" Zhou Xinyan was puzzled.

"There must be some hidden circumstances in this. Go and check Zhou Jing's performance at school these past few days, and also check who she has been in contact with," Chen Yu said. "Be quick."

"Can you save her first? Didn't you say that if the soul doesn't return to the body within three days, she will truly be dead?" Zhou Xinyan asked.

"I have no way to save her right now. I need to know where her soul is, and Zhou Jing's mother won't cooperate with us now, so we can only investigate ourselves," Chen Yu said.

"Alright, I'll go check immediately." Zhou Xinyan nodded.

Just at this moment, someone ran over from behind; it was Zhou Jing's younger brother, Zhou Shen. He clenched his fists tightly. "My sister didn't die of sudden death; she was murdered by someone."

"What do you know?" Chen Yu turned back to look at Zhou Shen. Although the boy was not old, his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to be carrying intense hatred.

"If I tell you, can you save my sister?" Zhou Shen raised his head and asked Chen Yu in return.

"I cannot guarantee one hundred percent that I can save her, but at least I have an eighty percent chance of bringing her back. Tell me everything you know, and I will find a way," Chen Yu said.

"Alright." Zhou Shen nodded. "My sister was found dead in the dormitory this morning. I don't know who she had been in contact with, but today, Wang Yu, the son of the school principal Wang Kun, came by."

"Wang Yu?" Chen Yu furrowed his brows. One of that group of Chen Shaochong's people. This kid's father is the principal, and judging from the two times they had contact, his father is not a good person.

Moreover, this kid's father is the principal of Mingda Middle School and High School. Could Zhou Jing's death be related to Wang Yu?

"Yes, that bastard is no good. He has a group of cronies and often lures some of the girls from school out," Zhou Shen said through gritted teeth. "Actually, I know my sister was tricked out by them last time, but fortunately, she ran into you."

"What did he come here for?" Chen Yu asked. "Besides him, was there anyone else with him?"

"He came alone. He talked to my parents privately and wouldn't let me be present, but I peeked from outside and saw him give my mother a bank card," Zhou Shen said.

"A bank card?" Zhou Xinyan's expression changed. "How much money is in that card? Was this card meant to make your mother hush up?"

"I don't know, I didn't hear their conversation clearly, but after he left, my mother locked herself in her room for a long time. Finally, after she came out, she signed the police death certificate," Zhou Shen shook his head.

"After he left, did your mother have any unusual behavior?" Chen Yu asked.

"She just kept crying. Last night, I vaguely heard her crying and saying, 'Jingjing, Mom is sorry for you,'" Zhou Shen said.

"Do you think your sister was murdered?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, I am certain she was murdered. That bastard Wang Yu is no good," a look of anger appeared on Zhou Shen's face. "My sister wouldn't have died for no reason."

"Alright, I understand. Go back and stay with your mother. Give me some time, I will save her," Chen Yu said. "Also, before we return, no one is allowed to move your sister, do you understand?"

"I understand." Zhou Shen nodded heavily.

"Chen Yu, where are we going next? Are we going to the school first?" Zhou Xinyan asked.

Originally, she was an outstanding police officer who had her own judgment, but for some reason, she felt that in front of Chen Yu, Chen Yu was her backbone.

"No, first find Wang Yu and his father. These two must have a problem," Chen Yu said in a deep voice. "Zhou Jing's death is related to Wang Yu and his father."

"I'll take the police to summon them," Zhou Xinyan said.

"No need, it's useless," Chen Yu shook his head. "And time won't allow it. In special times, we must use special methods."

"You remember the Walking Corpse from last time, right?" Chen Yu asked.

"I remember, the Walking Corpse transporting drugs. That woman's body is still with the medical examiner," Zhou Xinyan said. "Is there any connection between the two?"

"There is a connection," Chen Yu said. "Zhou Jing's soul was forcibly snatched away, so the person who snatched the soul is the same person who arranged for the Walking Corpse to transport drugs."

"Let's assume this person has a connection to Wang Yu and his father, or perhaps they don't understand these arts at all," Chen Yu said.

"Then fine, I will go with you," Zhou Xinyan nodded heavily.

"No, you stay here and watch Zhou Jing's mother," Chen Yu said.

"Why watch her?" Zhou Xinyan asked, looking up.
