The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 442: The Hearse Without a Corpse

Ten minutes ago.

Scarlett Jennings and Amber Livingston just left a house in the community with the police officer in charge.

The incident began with a report in the morning, a father accused his own son of drug abuse.

When Scarlett Jennings and the police arrived at the scene, they found that the so-called drugs were just wax granules the son had bought online. The bright colors were mistaken for drugs, and the father, worried he couldn’t persuade his son, decided to call the police to hand the child over to state education.

Netizens had just watched the blunder and were leisurely chatting in the live broadcast’s comment section. Scarlett Jennings’ team’s car had barely driven for a short distance when it nearly collided with a hearse that suddenly darted out from the intersection.

The hearse driver immediately stuck his head out and harshly cursed at the show’s driver.

Seeing the situation, the patrol car ahead backed up, and a police officer got out and walked over to inquire,

"What’s going on?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the two vehicles’ situation and then addressed the hearse driver, "Don’t you know you need to slow down when turning from a small road onto a big road?!"

The hearse driver’s face changed upon seeing the police officer and police car. After hearing this, he quickly admitted fault sheepishly,

"It’s my bad, I was in a hurry to deliver the body to the funeral home and drove a bit fast. Luckily, nothing happened, I’ll definitely fix it."

The hearse driver said this, and the grieving family member in the passenger seat immediately chimed in, pleading sorrowfully. Seeing the special situation, along with the driver’s good attitude in admitting fault, the police officer waved them off, allowing them to leave.

Just as the other vehicle was starting up to leave, Scarlett Jennings suddenly spoke up from inside the car, "We can’t let them go."

Seeing that those around her were apparently confused, she decisively pulled out a piece of talisman paper and quickly whispered something in her mouth.

Then the viewers in the live broadcast only saw her say to the air,

"Stop that hearse."

Within seconds of Scarlett Jennings speaking, the hearse that had just moved a few meters suddenly stalled and stopped in place.

The show’s photographer inside the car looked astonished, while Amber Livingston gazed at Scarlett Jennings with some fear.

He just saw it.

Right when Scarlett Jennings finished chanting the spell, a familiar Big Ghost suddenly appeared outside the car. Upon hearing Scarlett’s words, it flew at the departing hearse, and sat abruptly onto its hood, causing the hearse to stall.

Before Amber could express his feelings, Scarlett Jennings had already gotten out of the car to approach the hearse.

The photographer hurriedly followed.

The police officer ahead watched curiously as Scarlett Jennings pointed at the hearse in front and said,

"We can’t let them go. The driver has blood on his hands."

The officer immediately appeared alert, "Are you saying he’s a wanted criminal?!"

But it doesn’t add up, because if he were a wanted criminal, why didn’t he notice anything earlier?

Scarlett Jennings continued,

"I don’t know if he’s a wanted criminal."

Scarlett Jennings said, "But he carries more than one death on him. Moreover... there’s no sign of a deceased person on their hearse."

The hurried delivery to the funeral home was a lie.

Something fishy was clearly going on.

The officer felt a headache as he listened to Scarlett Jennings’ tone.

Though he knew that their show was about the mystical, but they couldn’t really suspect the driver and the car just based on her words, right?

Where’s the evidence?

Knowing the officer didn’t believe her, Scarlett simply said,

"Their car won’t start for now. You can check it directly. Just open the coffin, and you’ll know."

The officer furrowed his brow at her words.

Opening a coffin would be disrespectful to the deceased.

Even though he didn’t believe in mysticism, performing such acts still broke taboos.

While he hesitated, his walkie-talkie crackled, it was an inquiry from another experienced officer in the car, "What’s the matter?"

"Team leader, Scarlett says the hearse driver is suspicious."

The officer hesitated but ultimately recounted Scarlett Jennings’ words to the other party, "She said there are no dead bodies inside the car."

Upon hearing this, the officer referred to as team leader had already gotten out of the car and decided without hesitation,

"Do as she says, we’ll check it out first."

The young officer didn’t recognize him, but the old officer knew Daniel Wright, who had mentioned Scarlett Jennings’ abilities before.

As police, although they should believe in science, they should also harbor respect and curiosity for mysterious unknowns.

Besides, since the hearse stalled suddenly, it was also their duty to inspect.

The two officers immediately walked to the hearse that had been trying to start, with Scarlett Jennings and the others following closely.

The hearse driver was already irritated by the sudden stall. Upon seeing the police and the cameraman approaching, a malicious glint flashed across his face.

Hearing the officer demanding to open the compartment to check the coffin, both the driver and the supposed "family member" in the passenger seat immediately changed their expressions.

"No way!"

The family member even cried out while wailing, "My grandmother has passed! How can you do this to her?! Do the police have the right to do this?! I won’t allow it!"

There were other accompanying family members in the hearse who also shouted to reprimand the officers, appearing ready to fight them if they dared open the coffin.

Scarlett Jennings glanced at these people’s faces and coldly said,

"They’re not family! These people are human traffickers!"

Upon hearing Scarlett Jennings’ words, their faces collectively revealed panic briefly but quickly recovered, preparing to denounce her nonsense.

Scarlett Jennings ignored their reactions, strode directly to the coffin, and signaled Amber Livingston to join her.

Compared to the two police officers, Amber naturally trusted Scarlett Jennings.

If she said they were human traffickers, they definitely were!

The chubby figure immediately rushed forward.

The two photographers hastily followed, knowing that if this was true, they would capture a major incident today!

Those "family members" yelled furiously, "Stop!! Do you want to die, you silly girl?!"

Saying this, they tried to bypass the two officers to charge forward, but Scarlett Jennings paid them no mind. Raising her hand, despite the casualness in her movements, an inexplicable strength allowed her to easily open a gap in the coffin lid.

The photographer’s lens zoomed in quickly, and as the live broadcast audience saw the situation inside the coffin, their expressions changed drastically.

Inside the coffin, several children were crammed lying in the small space, seemingly around three or four years old, all appearing to be unconscious.

It was apparent they had been drugged and stuffed inside.

Anger flashed across Amber’s eyes, and she quickly shouted to the officers outside the car,

"There are children! Several children! They’re human traffickers!"

Upon hearing this, the officers’ faces changed, and they almost instantly drew the batons from their belts.

The traffickers, seeing the officers moving in, quickly exchanged a glance with grim expressions, then turned and fled in four different directions.

The officers numbered only two; if they scattered, at least half could escape!

As for the little girl and the others, they didn’t take them seriously at all.

But Scarlett Jennings, whom they had dismissed, showed no panic as she watched the four flee separately.

Standing where she was, she calmly pulled out four yellow talismans.
