Chapter 102 Evil Aura in The Senior Village Chief's House

Manager Zhang shook his head . His eyes showed the utmost despair, as he muttered, “You can't fight against them . It's no use . No use fighting… . ”

Suddenly, Xie Yuqing felt a droplet of liquid fall onto her neck . She wiped it away . Then, she noticed that it was blood! She quickly looked up and immediately screamed . A man was suspended high up from a beam of the roof . His head drooped, and his tongue hung out .

“Manager Zhang; it's Manager Zhang!” Zhou Jingru exclaimed . Then, she abruptly turned to check on the ‘Manager Zhang’ that sat on the bed . She saw a dry, pale hand wrap around ‘Manager Zhang’s’ waist and swiftly dragged him into the gap between the bed and the wall .

“Leave, leave now, you can't defeat them… . ” Manager Zhang’s voice echoed throughout the room .

Ye Shaoyang quietly let out a sigh and stood still . The murderer had locked Manager Zhang’s soul somewhere else . It was too late to rescue him now . The murderer had left his soul here just to pass on a simple message to them—You can’t defeat me .

Ye Shaoyang and Xie Yuqing worked together to move Manager Zhang’s corpse outside . He asked Xie Yuqing to call her team to handle the corpse . Then, he re-entered the room . He looked around and said in a clear voice, “I don't care who you are . If you bless the villagers here, I will respect you as a god; even if you are a specter deity or a demon deity . But if you try to harm any human, I’ll kill you, even if you are a god . Other sorcerers may not dare to go against you, but I, a Heavenly Master of Maoshan Sect, will kill any immortal or deity that harms the human world . You can give it a try if you don’t believe in me . I’ll capture you one day, and I’ll make sure you suffer much more than those you have hurt!”

After Ye Shaoyang finished this declaration, he formed a hand seal and smashed the wooden door . Then, he left without even looking back .

On the other side, Xie Yuqing’s colleagues had moved away Manager Zhang’s corpse . She left with them, as she needed to go back and report to her superior . Additionally, she would need to attend a discussion for a case investigation . So, Ye Shaoyang left and returned to the resort with Zhou Jingru .

Zhou Jingru ordered Director Li to properly arrange the funerals for the two victims and compensate them . As for the cause of death, he had to wait for the police announcement . After all, they could not tell the family members that the two victims died because of spirits . After Director Li left, Zhou Jingru frowned and said, “I can’t believe that Manager Zhang died… . ” She felt sorry for the two of them .

“Many more people will die if we don’t eliminate this Madam Chee . ”

Shock struck Zhou Jingru when she heard that more murder cases might occur here . If the news spread, they would fail to sell a single house of this Evergreen Villa . She promptly grasped Ye Shaoyang’s hands and pleaded, “Big brother Shaoyang, I am counting on you this time . ”

“We will investigate this step by step . First, let’s find out about the origins of this Madam Chee . ”

Even though a tragedy had occurred and delayed them, they still continued their initial mission of investigating this Madam Chee . So, Ye Shaoyang went to meet the lobby manager of the villa . He wanted to know more about Madam Chee's Temple from them . The lobby manager was a local, so he had a level of knowledge regarding the temple, “According to the seniors in our village, Madam Chee's Temple was built two to three hundred years ago . I don’t know about the history, but I know that all villagers, including the villages nearby, believe in Madam Chee . They will pray at the temple for every problem they encounter . According to those villagers, it is very efficacious . ”

“I remember that a few years ago, a reckless guy from the village returned from his university and claimed that it was superstitious to believe in Madam Chee . He urinated on her statue . And on the same night, he was found dead at his house compound . After this incident, the villagers paid even more respect to Madam Chee . ”

Ye Shaoyang fell into deep thought after he listened to the lobby manager’s story . After a while, he asked, “What did the statue of Madam Chee look like?”

“She looks almost the same as a normal person . Her face is slightly longer . . . almost like a demon . ”

A demon . . . Ye Shaoyang had further confirmed his conjecture .

Although they wanted to ask further, the lobby manager could not provide any more information .

“If you really want to know more details about the history of Madam Chee's Temple, you can ask the old village head in Niu Village . He is an extraordinary person; he knows more about the history than others . ”

“Alright, please help us to arrange a meeting with him,” said Zhou Jingru as she passed a few hundred Yuan to the lobby manager . The lobby manager happily accepted the money . Then, he called over one of his men and instructed him to bring Ye Shaoyang and Zhou Jingru to meet the old village head .

The Niu Village stood further out than the Evergreen Villa . So, the villagers did not need to relocate their homes to another place . With the help of the guide, Ye Shaoyang and Zhou Jingru walked into the village . They saw that all houses were bungalows . Although the buildings had old-fashioned designs, they still looked expensive . Most of the bungalows even had their own cars parks outside . Out of his curiosity, Ye Shaoyang asked, “Does this village sell some sort of local specialty? Why does every household in this village look so well off?

The guide replied, “We have no special produce, but we have good weather for crops throughout the year . Since no disaster occurs, our crops have always been much better than the other villages . That’s why we live in such a prosperous condition . I heard that this is all due to the Madam Chee’s blessing . But the company has demolished the temple . I have no idea what will happen to us in the future . ” The guide sighed, as he told Ye Shaoyang this .

Ye Shaoyang speechlessly smiled .

The old village head lived at the end of the village, under the foot of a hill . His residence was a three-story building that had a big compound in front . The house had a grand appearance . It had two imperial guardian lions that stood guard on each side of the main gate . The guide knocked on the door . He spoke to a young man, who opened the door for them after the guide told him that Ye Shaoyang and Zhou Jingru wished to pay the old village head a visit .

The young man looked at the two of them with suspicion, “Who are you two?”

“I’m the person in charge of the Evergreen Villa, and he is a policeman . We are here to ask the old village head to verify some details,” Zhou Jingru simply said . As expected, the young man showed a degree of hostility when he heard the words ‘Evergreen Villa’ . But once he heard that Ye Shaoyang was a policeman, he helplessly frowned and said, “Follow me . ”

Zhou Jingru tipped the guide one hundred Yuan . She asked him to go back and prepare a meal for them . Then, the guide happily left .

Once Ye Shaoyang entered the courtyard, he immediately felt that something was off—an evil aura permeated the yard . He felt internally shocked . Had something strange happened in this house?

The young man brought them to the second floor . He knocked on a door and politely asked, “Father, are you awake? A policeman has come to see you to verify some information . ”

“Let them come in . You better go to take care of Xiao Fang and don’t go elsewhere . ”

The young man said yes . Then, he opened the door and invited the two of them into the room . After that, he went downstairs .

The room was simply-decorated . It only had one bed and some old furniture . A white-bearded old man, who looked around ninety years old, sat on the bed with his legs crossed . He was watching a television program called ‘Shajiabang’ opera . He enjoyed listening to the opera . He turned around and scanned the pair from top to bottom . Then, he energetically said, “Please have a seat . ”

Ye Shaoyang grabbed two three-legged stools and passed one to Zhou Jingru . Then, they sat down together .

“Hello, old village head . We are the police . I heard that you are very well informed about the history of this region . I came here to verify some information,” said Ye Shaoyang as he acted professional .

The old village head waved his hand, “One will know more if one lives longer . There is nothing to be proud of . What do you want to ask?”

Ye Shaoyang glanced at Zhou Jingru and cleared his throat, “We want to know more about Madam Chee's Temple . When was the temple built and who built it?”

The old village head’s face froze when he heard these questions . A sense of alertness appeared in his eyes . From this look, Ye Shaoyang could tell that this man must know some secrets that others did not .
