Chapter 2407: Have Something to Do with the Male Owner?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After they got into the house, they walked to the living room and saw the wedding photos hanging on the wall. Now they were sure that the dead woman was the female owner of the house.
In addition to that, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting felt the evil force in the house, which seemed to come from the upper floor.
Gu Ning exchanged a glance with Leng Shaoting, then they went straight upstairs.
Zhang Jingnan said nothing about that. Actually, he was glad that Leng Shaoting was willing to help them. After all, Leng Shaoting had been promoted to major general at such a young age, so he should be very strong.
Zhang Jingnan was a smart man, so he didn’t doubt whether Leng Shaoting got his rank through connections. A rank in the military was different from a position in politics.
Even though Zhang Jingnan was unaware that Leng Shaoting was a member of the Red Flame, he knew that he was a special force who carried out special tasks. It was a very dangerous job and Leng Shaoting had to risk his life. Therefore, if he wasn’t strong enough, he could lose his life anytime.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting followed the evil force to the study on the second floor, and felt that it was coming from the safe.
Without delay, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to look inside the safe. There she saw a wooden box. Lying in the box was a jade pendant which was covered in black gas.
The black gas was also the evil force which was generated by this jade pendant.
In that case, the dog must have been affected by this jade pendant.
However, the weird thing was why hadn’t the woman been affected by the evil force if she and the dog lived under the same roof? Was the male owner of this house affected?
They hadn’t seen the male owner, so they weren’t sure yet.
Anyway, since this object was covered in evil force, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had to take it away. They couldn’t let Zhang Jingnan know about it, so they decided to destroy the safe.
Relying on his magical energy, Leng Shaoting quickly broke the lock of the safe, then he took the box and handed it to Gu Ning. Gu Ning directly put it into her telepathic eye space.
As for the other valuable objects in the safe, Leng Shaoting didn’t have an interest in it so he naturally wouldn’t take them. He took the jade pendant only because it generated the evil force.
Because of this jade pendant which was covered in evil force, they believed that the male owner of this house might be a bad man. It was good that they took it, because it might harm more people.
After taking the jade pendant, they continued observing the other parts of the house. They found nothing else special in the study, so they walked out and went to search every room.
Although it was more likely for the man and the woman to have conflicts in the bedroom, study, and living room, they shouldn’t ignore the other parts of the house.
They failed to find more clues on the second floor, so Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went back to the landing and were ready to go to the third floor.
However, when they returned to the landing, they saw four scratches left by nails on the wall next to the stairs.
Right at this moment, a picture appeared in Gu Ning’s mind. She saw a man and a woman arguing, pushing, and pulling on this landing. It seemed to be a violent argument.
Afterwards, the woman was pushed hard by the man, then fell down the stairs. When she fell, she wanted to grab something with her hand, but there was nothing to grab, so her hand scratched across the wall.
Seeing that picture, Gu Ning immediately realized what had happened. Whether the man did it purposely or by accident, he caused the woman’s death.
The bruises on the woman’s body were made when she fell down the stairs.
In the end, she knocked the back of her head against the ground, and died.
Gu Ning told Leng Shaoting what she saw in the picture, then Leng Shaoting called Zhang Jingnan over. He pointed at the scratches on the wall and told Zhang Jingnan what Gu Ning just told him.
Although Leng Shaoting said it was just a guess, Zhang Jingnan felt it was very likely. Most importantly, they couldn’t find any other clues and evidence. Only the scratches on the wall could give them some information.
When they walked in just then, they checked the surveillance cameras first, but they were already broken.
Because it was a very expensive block, there were no surveillance cameras in the yards in order to protect the owners’ privacy. Even though there were a few surveillance cameras which faced a corner of the yard, it was not very clear.
Anyway, each household would install their own surveillance cameras. Therefore, the surveillance cameras installed by the house owner were deliberately damaged.
After that, Zhang Jingnan and other policemen were left in the house to continue the investigation, while Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left, because they had already found what they wanted.
Before they left, Leng Shaoting reminded Zhang Jingnan to take away the dog and kill it, because it had already gone crazy and might bite other people after it recovered.
He also told Zhang Jingnan that the dog had attacked an innocent man earlier, so the owner of this house must take responsibility if the police caught him. Then, they could deal with the murder.
Moreover, he asked Zhang Jingnan to inform him when they caught the criminal, because he needed to see the man. After that, he gave Zhang Jingnan his phone number.
Leng Shaoting didn’t tell him the reason, so Zhang Jingnan didn’t ask. In fact, Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning simply wanted to see whether the man was also affected by the evil force.
Zhang Jingnan obeyed Leng Shaoting’s orders.
When Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting came back, it was almost 8 am.
Leng Shaoting had told Jing Yunyao to have breakfast before them, but Jing Yunyao didn’t do that. Instead, she waited for Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning to come back so that they could have breakfast together.
She didn’t ask them what had happened. It was Gu Ning who told her the whole story.
After hearing what had happened, Jing Yunyao was also scared. Although it had nothing to do with her, it was hard for anyone to stay calm.
“Why was the dog affected by the evil force?” Jing Yunyao asked.
“We found a jade pendant covered in the evil force in the study. Obviously, it was taken from an ancient grave. The dog was affected by it,” said Gu Ning.
When Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had been gone for half an hour, Zhang Jingnan and his men finished their work, because they couldn’t find more clues.
What happened in house No. 35 didn’t attract much attention, because it was still early. There weren’t many people outside and the block was very large and lightly populated. However, people who lived next to house No. 35 noticed the police.
There were police cars stopped outside house No. 35, which meant there might have been a crime.
After they gathered there, the police had already finished their work and two of them carried out the corpse wrapped in white cloth, which scared all of them.
