Chapter 1946 - 1055: Clue (Part 2)

Chapter 1946: Chapter 1055: Clue (Part 2)

The only lead was cut off, and it was an unclear death, naturally leading Hongxing to draw connections once again.

If they could do it once, they could do it twice, and there might even be an opportunity to kill all their leaders!

Right now, Xiangjiang is in a delicate balance before its return to China. You could say that all industries can’t leave the organization, even selling a newspaper on the street requires protection from an organization, and these groups have infiltrated almost all domains of Xiangjiang.

This has caused even the Xiangjiang police to be unable to take drastic actions against the syndicates, or it would really break the current balance and cause turmoil.

Events similar to Jiang Tiansheng’s death are taken with high regard.

At this moment, Huang Yaozu heard their conversation and naturally linked it to Big D being killed by the same method. If they continued investigating like this, they might also be targeted by the mastermind.

He took a glance at Tao Yu and asked,

“Little Duke, now we might also be the target of an attack. Do you have any confidence against the person behind this?”

“If he’s only using ordinary spiritual bodies, it shouldn’t be a big problem. It shouldn’t be too strong, otherwise, you wouldn’t have the chance to report to the police.”

Tao Yu seemed somewhat nonchalant.

“You have a point. So, do you need to take a look at the body now? We’ve also assigned some boys to do some investigation, and we have roughly locked on some targets.”

Big Brother B said with a compensatory smile.

Since Hongxing is involved in many aspects, their intelligence collection work is quite strong.

Aside from inviting them to see the body, they naturally would also present some obtained intelligence and speculations.

In this respect, even the police couldn’t be as well-informed as they are…

…

Tao Yu looked at Jiang Tiansheng in the ice coffin ahead, speaking calmly,

“There’s indeed yin energy on the body, indicating ghost intervention, but the intensity of this ghost isn’t high. It didn’t cause his death by forced possession but through side influences…”

As Tao Yu spoke, he gestured for Le Huizhen to start filming, then extended his finger to touch Jiang Tiansheng’s forehead.

“Since the soul wasn’t devoured, it’s possible to extract some remaining spirit. It’s a pity that Jiang Tiansheng lacked any potential to become a ghost, otherwise, it would have been much easier.”

While speaking, Tao Yu slowly lifted his finger, drawing out a vague outline of Jiang Tiansheng’s silhouette with slight ripples and confusion.

Seeing this through Le Huizhen’s phone, Ni Yongxiao and Big Brother B both showed shock in their eyes.

Though they knew about it beforehand, it was from only a short video angle.

But now there’s a perspective from both a normal person and short video filming; the impact was naturally greater.

“You don’t have to keep staring at the screen. Here, this is Cow’s Tears, you can apply a bit on your eyelids.”

Huang Yaozu took out his treasure and began distributing it.

The amazement of seeing this magic, where one couldn’t see initially, only to see after applying it, sparked ideas in everyone again.

“I didn’t expect simple Cow’s Tears could hide such secrets. Now that we can see Mr. Jiang, I wonder if he can still respond to us.”

Ni Yongxiao sighed with emotion, but he also noticed Jiang Tiansheng’s spirit seemed a bit dull.

“Within a short time, it should be possible.”

Tao Yu took out the Magic Wand and tapped Jiang Tiansheng’s spirit.

“Restore to original state.”

In the next moment, fragments started consolidating around this remaining spirit, making Jiang Tiansheng’s soul more solid and his eyes more animated.

“This is…”

Looking down at his own body, Jiang Tiansheng seemed startled. Then, recalling something, he looked at the surrounding people bitterly and said,

“It seems I’ve died. I wonder who could possess such great powers. Do I still have a chance to return to my body?”

Even as a ghost, Jiang Tiansheng still had an attachment to life.

Having just become the leader, with a beautiful wife to accompany him and wielding power, he was about to enjoy it all, only to lose it inexplicably. He was truly unwilling.

“Now your body has no vitality. Forcing your soul back would be futile as your brain is damaged, and every cell has already withered.”

Tao Yu’s casual remark made Ni Yongxiao’s expression subtly shift.

According to his words, if they had found him initially, when his body hadn’t suffered irreversible damage, it seemed he could have been saved?

“Well, I didn’t expect Little Duke to possess such Absolute Skill.”

Jiang Tiansheng understood who the leader was here now and had firmly remembered Tao Yu’s appearance as the leader of Hongxing.

“I wonder how long I can maintain this form?”

Jiang Tiansheng asked hopefully. If he couldn’t be physically resurrected, becoming a ghost wasn’t too bad; a step back wasn’t impossible.

“About a day. Your soul is already scattered. I forced it together. Once the magical power dissipates, it’ll vanish again.”

“I see. I wonder what information Little Duke wants from reviving me temporarily with such great effort…”

All paths blocked, Jiang Tiansheng could only cooperate obediently. It seemed they might want to avenge him.

For that part, Jiang Tiansheng was motivated.

“You should know… how you died…”

“All I remember is seeing a child with its back to me…”

Jiang Tiansheng fell into deep thought.

After being forcibly restored by Tao Yu, although his existing time was limited, during that time he was even more clear-headed than when he was alive, recounting his pre-death encounters.

Jiang Tiansheng didn’t see who killed him, but it was almost certain it was a Little Ghost.

“Raising Little Ghosts… not sure if it’s trickery or some special method.”

Tao Yu murmured in a voice just audible to Huang Yaozu who quickly asked,

“Little Duke, what special method is that?”

“A child’s mentality is immature, usually lacking enough potential to become a ghost. But some people choose children born under special circumstances and harm them at a specific time. But whether this one is that or not, I can’t be sure.”

Tao Yu’s words instantly triggered a collective outrage among almost everyone present.

Even the gang leader Ni Yongxiao frowned.

Zhou Xingxing and Chen Jiaju exclaimed simultaneously,

“Bastard!”

“So, what are the clues and suspects you mentioned earlier?”

The head of miscellaneous affairs, Huang Yaozu, immediately turned back to Ni Yongxiao with seriousness.

“Let me say it.”

Big Brother B took over the conversation; the issue arose in his district.

“Based on the clues Big D gave before his death, we tracked one of Big D’s former subordinates, Crow. We noticed he frequently went to an old apartment recently. Coincidentally, there were also ghost rumors about that apartment, but the residents seem used to it, supposedly there are people within the building who can solve these issues…”

As Big Brother B spoke, he also gestured to Chen Haonan by his side to bring out some photos.

The images featured mainly three individuals: three men, one in his thirties to forties, one around fifty, and one looking sickly and grey-haired.

“The younger one is named Qian Xiaohao, a former popular star. After moving into this apartment, strange things started happening. The one selling glutinous rice is Ah You, running a small restaurant in the apartment building. He also sells incense and joss paper. The sickly one is Ah Jiu, who didn’t originally look so old, having suffered from a severe illness…”

Seeing these photos, Tao Yu remained expressionless, both expected and inevitable.

“Do you have people watching them? Raising Little Ghosts is against nature, and there will definitely be some feedback. Keep a keen eye on this guy.”

Tao Yu pointed at the photo of the old man, Ah Jiu.

“We have people assigned. Rest assured, I’ll check now.”

Chen Haonan quickly responded, then picked up the phone to make contact.

After a moment, he said with some confusion,

“My boys say this guy bought a ticket for the Royal Cruise, the one where Gambling God Gao Jin is set to face off with the King of Thousand Kings, and my boys can’t get on.”

“Living in such a rundown apartment yet able to board such a luxurious cruise?”

Tao Yu chuckled.

“Little Duke has a point; it’s very likely him. I doubt he went up there just to mess around.”

Ni Yongxiao adjusted his glasses and added.

“Though I’m still not quite sure about his methods, if he has a Little Ghost, cheating in a gambling match might be his unique skill. Perhaps he intends to assist one of the competitors…”

If Ah Jiu could be bought by Dongxing, then he surely wasn’t an otherworldly expert indifferent to worldly affairs.

Being bribed by someone in the gambling contest seemed logical as well!

The title of Gambling God had indeed brought about much violence in the past…
