I Am Your Natural Enemy
Chapter 850 - 317: Not That Many Bad Seeds, Hemp Robe Sect
He was very uncomfortable with this kind of statement.
Fourth Great-uncle Master looked at Wen Yan's expression and immediately knew what Wen Yan was thinking.
"If you're okay, you can go check out the Scorching Sun Department's case files, do some statistics, and you'll find that many cases really start out as mere coincidence, just accidents."
Wen Yan nodded silently.
Fourth Great-uncle Master felt somewhat gratified and yet a bit distressed seeing Wen Yan like this. Wen Yan must have gone through so much and seen so many bad sorts over these past few months to immediately think it's someone's malicious doing when something happens.
At the beginning of this matter, there wasn't much of a problem. If Wen Yan hadn't sought him out and insisted on digging deeper, they wouldn't have uncovered this so quickly.
Following the normal procedures, they definitely wouldn't have allocated so many resources at least not before the funeral home's embalmer got hit by the reversing car.
Once things start unfolding, no one knows how they will eventually develop.
Judging by the current situation, this definitely isn't going to end well.
Being cautious is good, at least it's not a big mistake.
"Among the myriad things and myriad people in the world, though it's not all good, it's surely not all bad either.
You've encountered plenty of evil spirits, but not all bad things are due to evil spirits.
Understand?"
Fourth Great-uncle Master patiently counseled Wen Yan, somewhat worried that Wen Yan was slowly falling into a binary thinking trap.
Because the tasks Wen Yan faced before only needed a simple black-and-white judgment.
But if only the matters of the world were really that simple.
"Fourth Great-uncle Master, I understand; I may just not have adjusted from the previous tasks."
Wen Yan bowed, feeling somewhat relieved inside, thinking indeed, bad sorts are ultimately in the minority; not all of them cross his path.
He even used the Black Box and found nothing. This family's three generations up didn't have any abnormal people.
From that photo ghost to everyone within his family's five generations, they were extremely normal ordinary people, the kind who wouldn't even get their parents called by the school.
The conversation was almost over, Wen Yan sighed softly and waved to Tong Si.
"Did you see anything? That ghost seems to be attached to a photo."
"I only noticed one spot with a bit of Yin Qi reaction." Tong Si pointed in a direction.
In broad daylight, after activating his grim-eyed vision, the background colors seemed infected with Yang Energy. Ghosts are inherently Yin-natured, making it genuinely hard to hide in front of Tong Si in a normal environment.
In Tong Si's eyes, it was like among the red background, there was a spot exactly the size of a photo showing in deep blue—it certainly wouldn't be a mere coincidence.
Tong Si led the way and soon found the photo under the cabinet.
The photo was pasted upside down on the cabinet's bottom, even lying down looking up couldn't see it and reaching in wouldn't feel it.
Unfortunately, the aura was inherently distinct, glaring like a beacon in Tong Si's eyes.
Wen Yan took the photo, and the person in it moved a bit, seemingly trying to escape.
"Ren Yubao, I advise you to behave. Don't force me to beat you in your own home."
The person in the photo gave a slight start and upon seeing Wen Yan appeared as though witnessing flames catching light, even the photo's background showed traces of fire.
The photo ghost calmed down and was taken away by Wen Yan.
After a thorough questioning, there truly were no issues. This guy called Ren Yubao, after dying, turned into a ghost and regained consciousness during repair completion, even after his remains were cremated.
He turned into a ghost, fearing to scare his family, yearning to show himself but his family couldn't see him. It was upsetting watching them confused and helpless, unable to do anything.
Being caught and assured someone could see him, he ironically felt relieved.
He confessed everything; this matter wasn't largely related to him, he just died accidentally, then inexplicably became a ghost, even the change of appearance, he didn't know nor noticed.
He was just like an ordinary person who stumbled upon a chance, still cautious not yet daring, and was taken down by a heavy fist.
The photo ghost was taken away, Wen Yan didn't trouble him, handing him directly to the Scorching Sun Department.
The Scorching Sun Department didn't make things difficult for him either. They told him his current situation caused trouble for those who helped him, resulting in this state and changing appearance.
The photo ghost wasn't a villain and wouldn't repay kindness with betrayal, merely complying with what needs to be done.
Wen Yan observed the whole process, still feeling things shouldn't be this straightforward.
Feng Yao appeared leisurely, hours later, facing Wen Yan's thoughts he burst into laughter.
"There's the Nanwu exchange group, isn't there? Sum up the cases within; it's astonishing.
Planned, maliciously intense cases account for a minority among all cases.
Even among ordinary people, major criminal cases are few, occupying nearly half the cases mainly frauds or thefts.
Do you know why anti-fraud is prioritized? Because judging by numbers alone, three to four-tenths of the cases are related to telecom fraud."
