Chapter 572 - 570: Not Finished Yet

Qin Zhen and You You in the crowd just wore an expression of speechlessness.

"It seems our fellow citizens’ imagination is no less than the viewers in our livestream!"

Qin Zhen couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Mm!"

You You nodded in strong agreement.

After confirming that there were indeed dead animals in the water supply tank, the police quickly took action.

They immediately contacted the staff of the water company.

With the help of the staff, they drained all the water in the supply tank.

A middle-aged policeman willingly got into the tank and took out the bodies of two dead cats.

This scene drew a chorus of curses from the surrounding crowd.

"Whew... Scared me! I almost thought it was a human body!"

"I was scared too, lucky it’s just two dead cats."

"Who the hell is so inconsiderate to throw dead cats into the communal water tank?"

"Whoever did this is just plain mean. I curse that he never has a son with a butt!"

"As long as it’s not a dead person! As long as it’s not a dead person!"

"Although it’s good that it’s not a dead person, the dead cat bodies are still disgusting!"

"Damn! No wonder I’ve felt something was off when using the water these days."

"If I catch the guy who threw the bodies, I’ll kill him!"

"Shush! Keep your voice down, the cops are still here!"

"Afraid of what? Bragging isn’t illegal!"

"If it wasn’t for the policeman opening the tank, who knows when we’d have found those dead cats."

"Probably not until the next cleaning of the tank or a maintenance call for the water system."

"Anyone with cameras at their entrance, go check and see if there’s anything suspicious."

"I have one at home, I’m going to check the footage now!"

"I’ll go check mine too..."

Everyone was extremely angry and irritated at the person who threw dead cat bodies into the tank.

Some even directly cursed the offender’s ancestors to the eighteenth generation.

Qin Zhen and You You in the crowd felt a slight thrill hearing everyone’s curses.

Indeed, people like the landlord’s son are meant to be despised by everyone!

With You You’s phone, the viewers watching the livestream thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle.

"Our Taoist is amazing, he said there’d be dead cat bodies and there they were!"

"Of course, do you think the title of ’Immortal Taoist’ is just sheer hype?"

"Those poor cats, their skins were peeled off."

"No idea what kind of coating that so-called master used, but even after soaking for so long, it still hasn’t completely dissolved."

"This scene, thank goodness it’s the police. If it were anyone else, they’d be scared out of their wits."

"Truly, fishing out dead cats at night feels straight out of a horror film."

"Now we’ve got evidence, time to catch someone, right?"

"That landlord’s son must be nuts!"

"Exactly! Can’t he just court a girl properly? Creating all sorts of black magic nonsense!"

"If he had any sense, his mother wouldn’t be stuck paying off so much gambling debt."

"And that so-called master is a fraud; should be arrested too!"

"Chucking animal bodies into a water tank, how could they even think of that!"

"The root cause is the landlord, spoiling his son! If it were up to me, I’d just slap him to teach him a lesson!"

"Best to throw the punk straight into jail, let the inmates teach him well."

"Sigh! People like that are just mean without any benefit..."

Just as the viewers continued their ranting, the middle-aged policeman had finished handling the evidence.

He scanned the crowd quickly and found Qin Zhen and You You.

"Qin, You, let’s head back to the cake shop..."

The policeman beckoned to the two women.

"Okay."

Seeing this, Qin Zhen and You You nodded immediately, following him downstairs to the cake shop.

"The evidence has been collected, soon we’ll go catch someone."

"Next, I need you two to help with the records..."

The middle-aged policeman said with a smile.

"No problem."

Qin Zhen and You You nodded at once.

"That’s good!"

The policeman’s smile grew broader seeing their cooperation.

"Wait!"

Just as he was about to leave, Lu Heng suddenly spoke up from the livestream.

"Immortal Taoist, is there something else?"

Being stopped, the policeman showed a puzzled face.

"Things are only half-explained; there’s still half left to tell!"

Lu Heng gently stroked his long beard in response.

"Ah? Not finished?"

This reaction left the policeman, Qin Zhen, and You You all looking surprised.

The cake shop’s problem...finding the real issue...dealing with the culprit...

This set of events seemed to be wrapping up.

How is there still half left unexplained?

Seeing the three bewildered faces, Lu Heng calmly explained: "Putting two dead cats in the tank was just one of the two things the landlord’s son did."

"As for the other thing, I haven’t mentioned it yet!"

Upon hearing this, the three exchanged glances in the cake shop.

Throwing dead cats in the tank wasn’t the end of it?

What other outrageous thing did that guy do?

Lu Heng took a sip of Spirit Tea Water and continued: "After throwing the second dead cat into the tank, the landlord’s son voluntarily came to the cake shop multiple times."

"I wonder if Young Friend Qin and Young Friend You still remember?"

Qin Zhen and You You thought for a moment then nodded in unison.

"Immortal Taoist, it was about a week ago, wasn’t it? He came to the cake shop five or six times."

"Once inside, he didn’t buy anything, just asked where Xiaoyou was."

"I thought he had something important for Xiaoyou, so I gave him Xiaoyou’s mobile number..."

Pausing, Qin Zhen looked apologetically at You You, embarrassed and said: "I’m sorry, Xiaoyou!"

"I didn’t know he was like this, hence giving him your mobile number."

"It’s okay, Zhen!"

You You gently shook her head.

Then she followed: "During those days, the landlord’s son kept calling me."

"Out of respect for the landlord, I couldn’t find it in myself to ignore the calls."

"But when I answered, he always talked about bizarre things."

"At first, I thought he dialed the wrong number, but now I understand."

"On the phone, he’d ask if I liked him, if I wanted to go for a movie date or something."

"I guessed he wanted to see if the so-called master’s black magic worked..."

Total disbelief colored You You’s expression as she spoke.
