Reborn As Super Heiress

”I don’t know how they entered the ancient tomb.”

”But since only Fujiwara Seiho was in that coffin, and not that old man with the surname Lu, it means that old man might still be alive.”

”So I think you can start with that old man, maybe you can find something out.”

Anya’s words left several criminal detectives, including those taking notes, somewhat astounded. They had originally come to investigate an ancient tomb corpse case, yet never expected to extract such significant information from this woman!

Iga-ryu, Dongyang Forces, this...

The detective taking notes didn’t know how to write this down at the moment, instinctively looked up at their captain.

In fact, Zhao Chengke was also quite puzzled, but as the leader here, he naturally couldn’t reveal any unusual expressions, so he could only stare at Anya without expression and continue to ask calmly:

”How we investigate is the police’s business, you don’t need to command us. Just clearly explain everything you know!”

Anya’s expression stiffened, seeing Zhao Chengke’s oil-and-water-resistant demeanor, she suddenly felt secretly resentful and had no choice but to disclose her mother’s connections with the Iga-ryu in full.

Zhao Chengke kept staring at this woman, naturally seeing that this woman should have revealed everything she knew, indeed having nothing more to say, he then nodded slightly, and said:

”I will investigate, if what you say is true, I will consider hiding some things from Professor Zhou, but I also hope you remember this lesson, don’t let me catch you getting involved with Dongyang again, otherwise...”

Zhao Chengke didn’t make the latter part clear, but Anya knew what he meant, especially when stared at by Zhao Chengke’s warning gaze, a chill surged from the bottom of her heart, she shuddered involuntarily.

This Zhao was clearly a cold-blooded animal, the cold and sinister aura wasn’t fake, just like a venomous snake, if she provokes him again, he definitely won’t let her off, she definitely won’t find any good outcome at the hands of such a person!

Withdrawing from the ward, Zhao Chengke’s expression immediately became grim, the few team members trailing behind also obviously realized that this was no straightforward murder case, involving foreign forces, the deceased was a Dongyang person, this situation had to be reported above, see what the higher-ups say.

”Chief, the Cultural Relics Bureau has sent over the situation, the person who fled is named Yu Xinhua, has worked at the Bureau for three years, has a clean background, no issues found.”

At this moment, a criminal detective came over from the other end of the corridor and handed Zhao Chengke a file.

Zhao Chengke took the file and flipped through it, indeed finding no suspicious points, he couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows, looked up and said:

”Has Luofu Mountain explained what the situation is? Did anything go missing? Have them extract the videos of what happened in the tomb and send them over, also, go ask Anya if she knows this Yu Xinhua, see if it’s related to the Iga-ryu forces.”

Zhao Chengke still leaned towards the idea that Yu Xinhua fled under pressure, very likely worried that his identity would be exposed, so he wanted to escape amid the chaos.

However, this thought was quickly shattered by the video sent from Luofu Mountain.

Watching Bai Buzhi throw Talisman Paper at Yu Xinhua, and that seemingly very docile young man suddenly had a face twisted and ferocious, even letting out strange eerie laughter.

That eerie and cold laughter, even transmitted through the phone, still pierced the eardrums of the many criminal detectives, making everyone inexplicably feel a chill rising from their feet.

Even though these criminal detectives usually dealt with ruthless and cunning fugitives, those accustomed to bloody and horrifying scenes, upon seeing such a bizarre scene suddenly, still couldn’t help but get goosebumps.

”Chief... what... is the situation? That Yu Xinhua, is he pretending to be crazy, or is he really possessed by a ghost? Could there really be a ghost in that tomb?”

The person speaking was the member who previously took Anya’s statement, often called bear warrior within their team, but now his voice was somewhat trembling, clearly shaken by the video.

Zhao Chengke didn’t believe in ghosts and monsters, for the subsequent conversation between Bai Buzhi and Huo Sining, he could be said to be contemptuous, hearing the bear warrior’s nervous and fearful tone at this moment, he couldn’t help but glare at the subordinates and sneer:

”Want to know if he is pretending to be crazy or truly mad, isn’t that easy? Just bring him in and ask clearly, isn’t it?”

Everyone felt somewhat uneasy, they had already seen Bai Buzhi’s handling of Yu Xinhua in the video, unlike Yu Xinhua, they were inclined to believe this was real in their hearts.

At this moment Yu Xinhua, possessed by a ghost, didn’t know where he had escaped to, catching him is easier said than done? Moreover, to directly confront a ghost lurking for over a thousand years, they really didn’t dare.

Several team members took advantage of Zhao Chengke’s distraction to secretly exchange glances, each one had a bitter expression, especially wanting to find an excuse to escape.

But they all knew that their chief’s iron-handed tactics absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone to abandon post.

Given these circumstances, avoiding this operation was certainly not possible, so everyone could only communicate furtively under Zhao Chengke’s watchful eyes, even Zhao Chengke personally took action, as subordinates they had to bite the bullet.

Huo Sining didn’t know about the events happening at the hospital, if she knew, she would probably secretly laugh at Zhao Chengke’s stubbornness and ignorance, truly a brave warrior indeed, not fearing even a thousand-year-old ghost!

But at this moment, she actually had no mood to bother about the aftermath of the corpse case, because after those funerary items were cleared from the tomb, her phone which previously had signals intermittently suddenly received a message from an unknown number.

——How did the Heavenly Bead crack, did anything happen to you?

Seeing this message, Huo Sining was involuntarily shaken, trembling all over, instinctively picked up her phone and began dialing the unknown number.

But as soon as she dialed, she realized there was no signal in her location, the call couldn’t go through.

Almost without thinking, she couldn’t even pay attention to Su Qingqing and Huang Zhenlong’s confusion and shouts, grabbed her phone and ran downhill, her eyes shining with an irrepressible excitement.
