Nightmare Assault Chapter 381: Pain

The diary ended there, but the travellers didn’t feel better. Fatty couldn’t get it. How could a person be so vicious? Was nothing more important than benefits to Lee Maoshen? Did his conscience not hurt by earning money that way? Could he sleep at night, seeing how haggard the woman was? Did he feel not a shred of remorse?

“This is murder!” As a woman, Chu Jiu empathised with the lady. She glared at the screen. “This bunch of animals…”

“They deserved to die,” Jiang Cheng commented.

After things had clarified, Wan Xiaoning messed with the laptop. Then, she showed it again to Jiang Cheng. “We also found this. Take a look.” It was a news article from 21st July. The headline was about a woman falling to her death at midnight in Dong Hua Road’s apartment. The article came with a few pictures. A corpse lay on the cement floor, covered in a piece of white cloth. The cloth was stained with blood.

A police line was set up, and the officers were there to maintain the rules. People in white coats were taking evidence. The background was blurry but Jiang Cheng immediately recognised it as Ping An Apartments.

Chu Jiu frowned, but before she could say anything, Wan Xiaoning cut in, “We’ve compared this with the women harassed by Lee Maoshen. They received the scary videos on the morning of July 19, and they called the police the next day.”

“So, this woman killed herself after the police visited her,” Jiang Cheng lifted his head to say. The woman probably found out everything from the police and saw the ‘scary’ videos. That was how she figured out what Lee Maoshen was doing. There was no ghost. The real ghost… was by her side. The woman was too wounded to handle this truth, so she jumped out the window.

“Perhaps she didn’t kill herself, and Lee Maoshen shoved her out the window.” Chu Jiu pressed her hands on the table and leaned forward to huff, “You saw how despicable that man was! He could do anything!”

Banana Wolf tried to get her to calm down and explained, “Based on our investigation, the police didn’t find any evidence that Lee Maoshen murdered the woman. After the police found her and before she killed herself, Lee Maoshen hadn’t come home.”

“You don’t need to be home to kill people.” Chu Jiu countered loudly, “Maybe he threatened or forced her over the phone. Didn’t you see how much Lee Maoshen had her under his control?” If the animals hadn’t done those things, Sister Chen Yi would have been fine. The hatred Chu Jiu had for them poured out of her eyes. She was so overwhelmed that she forgot before the law got to these people, they had already been murdered by the ghosts.

With a hand on Chu Jiu’s head, Jiang Cheng said calmly, “They are dead. Plus, the police would have discovered what we did.”

After the woman committed suicide, she returned as a ghost due to the heavy resentment. She repaid them with the pain they gave her. However, this time, she was an actual ghost. Shen Wei Supernatural Exploration was wiped out by a real ghost.

Jiang Cheng checked the laptop. After ensuring there were no new clues, he raised his head. “Can I ask a question?” He looked at Banana Wolf’s group.

“Please.”

“Did you really collect all these in one afternoon?” Jiang Cheng’s tone and eyes were sincere. “It wouldn’t have been easy to grab the police’s investigation results, right?”

Banana Wolf glanced subconsciously at Hua Luo.

“I was the one who found the police reports,” Hua Luo admitted freely. He held Jiang Cheng’s gaze.

Fatty was curious. “How did you manage that?”

“I have my ways.” Hua Luo didn’t want to dwell on this, so he changed the subject. “But trust me that the information is true and…”

“And what?”

“And I think there’s a big mystery behind the woman’s death.” Hua Luo continued, “There was a difference in opinion within the force about this case. I could grab more information, but they were more well-guarded than I thought. I’m trying to figure it out.” Hua Luo raised his head. “But I need time.”

Those who could survive in the nightmare were definitely capable. After realising Hua Luo was a cross-dressing man, Jiang Cheng paid him some attention.

Jiang Cheng glanced at him and nodded. “Please be quick.”

“What is this woman’s name?” Jiang Cheng asked. From his perspective, since Hua Luo had delved so deeply into the investigation, he should have known the woman’s name, but…

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Chu Jiu turned to Hua Luo. “How do you not know when you’ve figured out everything else?”

Jiang Cheng seemed to understand something. He looked at Hua Luo. “This is one of the mysteries you mentioned, right?”

Hua Luo nodded. His beautiful brows were creased together. His side profile looked sad. “I’ve seen the files on this case. The woman’s cause of death was defined as suicide. However, the files have signs of being corrected. The strangest thing is… the woman’s name was crossed out whenever it appeared.”

“They were written and then crossed out?!” Wan Xiaoning raised her brow.

“That’s right.”

“It looks like the police discovered something difficult during the investigation.” Wan Xiaoning concluded. “And the issue is rather serious. To limit the influence, they had no choice but to do this.”

“It’s not that.” Jiang Cheng corrected. “It’s not difficult but inexplicable. That’s why they sealed the case files and wiped out the woman’s names.”

Fatty blurted out, “The ghost?”

Banana Wolf nodded. “Do you remember the clues brought back by the other team? How does the police treat Qiao Yu’s brother?”

The travellers remembered how strangely the police were acting. They saw the strange video when Qiao Yu was killed.
