Chapter 141: The Salvation Squad 7
Seeing Lingjiu nod, Qi Jin quickly used his phone to transfer the video. After Gu Nanxiao received the video, he walked aside and dialed the number.
"Hey! Brother. I'm sending you a video. You must watch it carefully. Call me back immediately after watching it."
After a while, Gu Nanxiao's phone rang. He answered it: "Hello! Um... OK, I got it."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Nanxiao walked back to Lingjiu and Qi Jin and said to Lingjiu with a serious expression, "My brother said that he will arrange for someone to investigate this matter right now. If the situation is true, he will definitely not let anyone involved go."
Lingjiu knew that the matter was settled. She smiled and said to Gu Nanxiao, "Thank you."
Gu Nanxiao's face flushed slightly. He looked away embarrassedly, scratched his head and said, "It's nothing. It's what we should do to eliminate harm for the people. This kind of thing must not be tolerated."
The group waited in the villa for a while, the sound of sirens growing closer. When the police arrived, Qi Jin immediately stepped forward, showed them her ID, and explained the situation to them in an orderly manner. The officer carefully examined her ID, learned about the incident, and then glanced at Zhang Meng, who was under control, before taking her to the police car.
Gu Nanxiao stared at the document in Qi Jin's hand and asked with confusion, "What is this? It looks very special."
Qi Jin proudly waved the certificate in his hand and replied with a smile: "This? This is the pass for Xuanmen to handle cases! With it, we can handle those special cases."
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanxiao couldn't help but murmur, "So ghosts really do exist... I used to think they were all fake."
"Of course we do." Qi Jin said seriously, "We are the ones that the police can't handle any supernatural incidents. This kind of thing is no joke."
"But my brother never mentioned these to me." Gu Nanxiao said with a frown.
"Didn't your brother tell you? But you're right, things like this are usually confidential. After all, if the news gets out, it will definitely cause social unrest, and everyone will be panicked." Qi Jin explained.
Seeing that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, Lingjiu walked forward, holding Gu Nanxiao with one hand and Qi Jin with the other, and brought them back to the front of the villa.
Gu Nanxiao had not yet recovered from this series of shocks. He felt that his worldview today was like the reconstruction after an earthquake.
Seeing him standing there in a daze like a wooden man, Lingjiu asked curiously, "Why are you not going home? What are you thinking about here? Are you scared silly?"
Gu Nanxiao finally came back to his senses, his eyes revealing a hint of determination. He said seriously, "I was wondering if you could take me with you next time you handle a case! I'm so interested in these things. It feels like I've opened the door to a new world."
Lingjiu raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a half-smile: "Aren't you afraid of ghosts? This is not a joke. Those supernatural events are very dangerous."
Gu Nanxiao patted his chest and answered confidently, "I've never seen a ghost, so I shouldn't be afraid! And I think it would be very exciting to solve a case with you guys."
Lingjiu nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I'll call you next time there's a case."
Gu Nanxiao excitedly took out his phone: "Then add me! My name is Gu Nanxiao, what's yours?"
"Lingjiu." Lingjiu answered concisely.
Lingjiu, Lingjiu. Gu Nanxiao repeated it twice silently, the corners of his mouth rising unconsciously.
After adding each other's contact information, everyone went their separate ways. The whole day had been like a fantastic adventure, but Qi Jin wasn't tired at all; she was still in a state of extreme excitement. She couldn't wait to get back to her room, and as soon as she sat down, she started video-calling her fellow apprentices, gesturing and excitedly recounting her magical experience tonight, like a cheerful little bird.
"You don't know, today is so exciting! Let me tell you..." Qi Jin's face flushed with excitement, and she described every detail with her hands and feet gesticulating. Her excitement could be felt through the screen.
After returning home, Gu Nanxiao washed up briefly and headed straight for the movie room. He turned on the dim lights, picked out a few horror movies from his collection of DVDs, and then curled up on the sofa to start playing.
He had been immersed in these horror movies all night. When the morning sun shone through the gaps in the curtains, he stretched himself and felt an inexplicable sense of confidence surge in his heart. After this night's "fight", he felt that he was now powerful to a terrifying degree.
Qi Jin sat at the dining table, her eyes constantly glancing towards Lingjiu, as if she was about to say something but hesitated. She opened her mouth several times, as if something was on the tip of her tongue, but she held it back, instead constantly fiddling with the food in her bowl with her chopsticks.
Lingjiu had already noticed her strangeness. He put down the cutlery in his hand, looked at Qi Jin and asked, "What do you want to say? Don't hold it in. Just say it."
When asked this by Lingjiu, Qi Jin lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong and said in a low voice: "The case is over, so... I have to go back too." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and the last few words were almost inaudible, with a look of reluctance on her face.
Lingjiu looked at her and said calmly, "If you don't want to leave, just keep following me. One more person won't make any difference. Your food won't be any less."
Qi Jin suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of surprise: "Really? Can I really continue to stay here?" Her voice trembled with excitement.
"Yes, yes, yes. Eat well! Don't waste food." Lingjiu shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, I'll eat it right away." After Qi Jin said that, he immediately started eating it in big mouthfuls. It was so delicious!
After eating for a while, she seemed to suddenly remember something, put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked at Lingjiu and asked: "Master Ling, what do you think of Zhang Meng? Her family conditions are so good, why would she want to harm Lidya Su? I really can't understand it."
Lingjiu wiped her mouth elegantly with a handkerchief, a deep light flashed in her eyes, and she slowly replied: "Many evil things in this world are caused by jealousy. Zhang Meng was jealous of what Su Xiao had. This jealousy continued to grow in her heart, and eventually made her do such a terrible thing."
"But there's nothing special about Lidya Su. She just has better grades and is prettier. Is it necessary to be so jealous?" Qi Jin frowned, looking puzzled.
"In the eyes of some people, these are enough to become the seeds of hatred. Human hearts are sometimes so complicated." Lingjiu sighed softly.
In the following days, Su Xiao's case was completely resolved. Those involved were severely punished by the law, and each of them was sentenced to a heavy sentence.
"Haha, this is really satisfying! These people finally got the punishment they deserved." Qi Jin clapped his hands excitedly.
"Yes, the law is fair and will not let any guilty person go. They will spend a long time in prison, and this time they will really be in jail for the rest of their lives, paying the price for the crimes they have committed." Lingjiu nodded slightly, his eyes full of relief.
"By the way, I wanted to say this before. I always feel that the relationship between Su Xiao and Wang Jing is a bit complicated." Qi Jin held his chin and said thoughtfully.
Lingjiu chuckled: "Friendship or love, is it important?"
"That's right, they only have each other now."
