    "Jiangyuan midnight butcher incident."

    Approximately a month ago.

    Females often go missing after calling for ride-sharing services at night.

    Due to the continuous search for no victim's ride-sharing service, as well as the absence of finding the victim's body.

    Rumors began to circulate in the community.

    It was rumored that the perpetrator was actually a butcher, who would dismember all the victims after he killed them...

    Only after the tenth victim was discovered did the Jiangyuan Public Security Bureau take this matter seriously.

    However, when the 20th victim appeared, the Jiangyuan Police Bureau finally realized that something was wrong and immediately transferred the case to the Jiangyuan Special Affairs Administration.

    Unfortunately, the Special Affairs Administration was in the midst of a critical personnel reshuffling at the time, so the case was delayed until Lu Jiān nián took office.

    The number of victims has also increased significantly due to the delay, reaching as many as thirty people in the open.

    "It's not me, it has nothing to do with me."

    Looking at the materials handed over by Pang Long on the table.

    Zhou Ying felt extremely frustrated at that moment.

    She already knew who the so-called "midnight butcher" was.

    It's that damned cuckold driver!

    "This has nothing to do with me, I wasn't awake at the time this happened!"

    Zhou Ying began to defend herself.

    "Ah, sorry, that cannot be used as evidence for you at the moment, but we will investigate this matter."

    Pang Long smiled awkwardly at Zhou Ying.

    In his heart of hearts, Pang Long didn't believe that Zhou Ying could be some kind of "property butcher."

    Just saying, this little girl looks delicate and weak, and she doesn't seem to have the temperament of a serial killer.

    But the ghost car is definitely real.

    That's quite embarrassing.

    "Regardless of whether you, Zhou Nurse, are the person we are looking for, just based on the current situation, you owe us a large door, which is about 200,000."

    Lu Jianian moved away from the window, staring at Zhou Ying and opening his mouth faintly.

    ???

    Zhou Ying was instantly stunned.

    200,000?

    Why would she owe 200,000?

    What did she do?

    "Ah, Zhou Nurse, just now your ghost car damaged our gate. I don't know if it's run away or you call for reinforcements. Regardless of what it's doing, this loss, you see, are you going to pay in cash or transfer?"

    As Zhou Ying was gradually going crazy, Pang Long and Lu Jianian exchanged a cryptic glance.

    Pang Long had a concerned expression.

    Lu Jianian was full of cunning.

    If Zhou Ying's ghost car was to go to the mental hospital for reinforcements, it would align perfectly with Lu Jianian's intention to test the mental hospital.

    "Hey, you son of a bitch, what the hell are you doing, randomly making me owe 200,000 yuan, if you don't explain it clearly, I'll tear you apart!"

    Zhou Ying was now somewhat collapsed, staring at the car key on the table with a fierce expression.

    As a diligent worker, she had been suddenly framed with the charge of being a serial killer. Not only were her hands shackled, but she was also mysteriously burdened with a 200,000 yuan debt.

    200,000 yuan!

    She would have to starve herself in the mental hospital for two years to earn that amount!

    Her small savings only amount to 50,000 yuan.

    What on earth is going on?

    With such an unprecedented item as the "Ascension Map", how can she still worry about money?

    Is this fair?

    The key to the ghost car lay quietly on the table, facing Zhou Ying's threat, without the slightest reaction.

    It seemed like just an ordinary car key.

    "Don't play games with us, Zhou Nurse? As a Yogi, your ghost object can't do anything without your instructions."

    "Then tell us about your motive for the murders and where you buried the bodies of the victims."

    "Then you can also avoid unnecessary questioning."

    Lu Jianian sat back in front of Zhou Ying, a cold and piercing smile on his lips.

    "I've said it's not me, you've got the wrong person. This car is something I only got yesterday, the real culprit is the previous owner."

    Zhou Ying made one more argument.

    "Previous owner? Where is the previous owner now?"

    Pang Long asked urgently.

    "I don't know. I saw him being taken away by the ghost officials with my own eyes."

    Zhou Ying shook her head, she really didn't know where the ghosts would take the ghosts.

    "Not so, Zhou Nurse, if you say that, it's hard for us to handle. What's the difference between that and not saying anything at all?"

    Pang Long rubbed his head awkwardly, he really wanted to help Zhou Ying clear the suspicion, but there was no evidence.

    "Ghost officials? Do you know the ghost officials? Which one?"

    As the head of the Special Affairs Administration, Lu Jianian also knew quite a few ghost officials.

    Occasionally, the Special Affairs Administration works together with ghost officials on joint investigations.

    They are in a friendly cooperative relationship.

    "I know... "

    Zhou Ying was about to call out the name of You Shi Lu, but hesitated at the tip of her tongue.

    The underworld has too many chaotic disputes.

    She is just a suspect among humans now; at most, she can wait until the suspicion is cleared.

    But if Lu Jianian takes a side with the celestial court, what's the difference between that and suicide if she calls out You Shi Lu?

    Watching Zhou Ying's face full of distress, Lu Jianian's eyes rolled.

    This Zhou nurse seems to have more secrets than he imagined.

    Moreover, it seems to involve not only the mental hospital, but possibly deeper secrets.

    The inability to control everything made Lu Jianian very uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable.

    "Hmm."

    Lu Jianian took a deep breath, stood up,

    "Since Zhou Nurse is so unwilling to cooperate, I'm sorry, we have no choice but to use some unconventional means. Zhou Nurse should have heard of the awakening of mysterious beings, right?"

    The head nurse had told Zhou Ying that the awakened beings of the mysterious system have abilities that are all sorts of peculiar.

    In the Jiangyuan Special Affairs Administration, there is a mysterious awakened being who can peek into others' memories.

    However, this ability could potentially damage the suspect's nerves, which is why it hasn't become the first option for questioning.

    "What? This is unfair! What right do you have to lay hands on me!"

    Zhou Ying may not know what the mysterious awakened being mentioned by Lu Jianian can do.

    But it's unlikely to be something good, and she immediately started to resist.

    "You're our suspect, right? What do you mean by fair? Criminals don't get to talk about fairness!"

    Lu Jianian didn't care about Zhou Ying's thoughts at all. He took a step forward, intending to grab Zhou Ying and take her to the interrogation room.

    Just as Lu Jianian was about to grab Zhou Ying, at the very moment...

    Bam!

    Suddenly, the door to the office was violently kicked open.

    "Who said Miss Zhou is a criminal!"

    Dare to bully the master, have you lost your minds!"

    A huge white figure, emerging from the door frame and surrounding walls, holding a thick iron chain and looking down on the three people with a condescending attitude.
