At midnight.
Suddenly, the darkness of the room was pierced by light.
The male host stood up to get some water, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw a figure in the living room.
The figure was significantly taller than a normal person, quickly eclipsing the host's form.
It was unclear what exactly happened, or whether the figure had engaged in a conversation with the male host.
After a few minutes of confrontation, the male host bizarrely parted his body, allowing the figure to enter the room.
A few moments later, the figure emerged from the window, cradling a frail form in its arms, and promptly took flight.
...
In the haunted car, Zhou You finished watching the video on Pang Long's phone in silence.
"This was shot by someone opposite your uncle's home."
"It's from another victim's house."
"You should be able to see that your uncle did not resist the attacker, but rather let the monster take away his child."
"So we suspect that your uncle may have encountered some trouble, leading him to not have a lot of affection for his child."
"In fact, it's an internal matter in your uncle's family, and as long as it doesn't involve any illegal activities, we won't intervene too much."
"The problem is that your uncle is the only witness who can see the attacker's figure clearly. If he doesn't provide evidence in this regard, it will be difficult for us to narrow down the range of the perpetrators and save the children who were abducted in a timely manner."
Pang Long retracted his phone and sighed deeply at Zhou You.
"Isn't this considered abandonment?"
Zhou You furrowed his brow and asked.
"It's not considered abandonment. We cannot enforce parents to use their lives to protect their children, as their own lives are also precious. When faced with danger, protecting one's own safety is a natural instinct of humanity."
"He just lacks the responsibility of being a father."
Pang Long sent the video to Zhou You.
"We Special Affairs Bureau cannot conduct unconventional questioning of ordinary people, and if he stubbornly insists that he saw nothing, even the police station will be powerless. Therefore, this can only depend on you!"
Lu Jiaying rubbed his forehead as Pang Long was sending the video.
That was the reason why he invited Zhou You to join the case.
He hopes that his relative Zhou You can persuade the witness named Zhou Zhuo to assist them in solving the case as soon as possible.
"This... I estimate that you will find out soon. My uncle's family is indeed facing economic problems."
"My nephew, born with a congenital disease, has been dragging down Uncle and the entire family for years. It has even affected my grandmother."
"It's like a nurse dealing with a difficult psychiatric patient. You can endure it for a day or two, but after a while, you would just apply to be transferred to another position."
"My uncle probably shares the same thought. Seven years have already eroded his love for his child, and now that the child is lost, it seems like a release for him!"
Zhou You could not make any judgments on this matter either.
Compared to issues of favoring boys over girls or abandonment, Zhou Zhuo's ability to endure for seven years is already very difficult.
"What? It's just that the child got sick?"
As Zhou You was smiling bitterly and sighing, Pang Long suddenly made a strange cry.
This immediately aroused Zhou You's strong dissatisfaction.
"Wait a minute, didn't you forget that you are an awakened individual?"
Before Zhou You could throw a punch, Pang Long quickly spoke up,
"Don't forget, there are also healers among the awakened. For illnesses that ordinary people cannot treat, as long as the money is there, an awakened individual can heal with ease!"
"Have you heard about the methods for curing cancer in foreign countries? It's essentially hiring an awakened individual to help, which can also be considered a solution?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou You was stunned.
Yes, he already had superhuman abilities.
He has even seen the Heavenly Court and the Underworld.
For ordinary people, there may be incurable diseases. However, in the eyes of other beings or even awakened individuals...
"There are such talents in our Special Affairs Bureau. If the case can be solved this way, I can request him to help your uncle once. Is that okay?"
Lu Jiaying handed over an attractive lure from the side.
Zhou You happily took the bait.
Zhou You quickly got off the car and returned to his uncle's house.
Watching Zhou You's departing figure, Lu Jiaying and Pang Long once again turned on the encrypted voice team.
Before they opened their mouths, the two of them, without any prior agreement, got out of the haunted car and moved away from its range.
"That's too far-fetched, how could the haunted car transform into a human so quickly? How did she do it?"
Compared to the case, Pang Long cares more about the existence of the haunted car baby.
"Last time we met, the haunted car was only just beginning to develop consciousness, the time couldn't have been more than two months. How could it transform into a human so quickly? Maybe it's due to that ghost police officer's reason."
Pang Long speculated.
"No, we've also met many ghost officers. They are just ordinary ghosts who are a bit older than us."
"If they really have such amazing abilities, the ghost race couldn't have been suppressed by the Heavenly Court for so long, nor could they have caused the events of a hundred years ago. So, the problem still lies with Zhou You."
"The psychiatric hospital even dared to send this girl here. I wonder if they really know the details about Zhou You."
Lu Jiaying negated Pang Long's speculation.
Although Youshi Lu is indeed strong, it is a dry strength.
It's a bit like an ancient general who may be great at military campaigns and battles, but has no other talents beyond that!
Zhou You naturally couldn't hear Lu Jiaying's team's encrypted voice, but he returned to his uncle's house with great determination.
"Uncle, what did you see last night?"
Zhou You came in and got straight to the point, directly playing the video sent by Pang Long in front of his uncle and aunt's surprised looks.
After the video was finished playing, the uncle and aunt also realized what Zhou You was saying and looked at Zhou Zhuo in disbelief.
They never expected that their grandson's disappearance involved their good son!
"You're so foolish!"
The uncle's face showed deep pain and regret.
The aunt vigorously beat Zhou Zhuo, venting her dissatisfaction.
On the other hand, Zhou You was surprised to see that his sister-in-law seemed to already know everything.
"Why can't this matter just end here? The child is lost, we can just have another one!"
Zhou Zhuo, while dodging the fists from his aunt, asked in pain.
Clearly, losing his son was not as calm as he had appeared.
"You can forget about it, but what about the other six victims? This video isn't just mine, it's also from one of the victims."
"If the case isn't solved soon, who knows what might happen? They might post it online, what then? What about your uncle and aunt? What about your grandmother?"
Zhou You's three consecutive rhetorical questions immediately fixed Zhou Zhuo in place.
"But... but it's not human, is it?"
Zhou Zhuo mumbled.
