"Hatred blinds the eyes, and what you think is justice is just another form of sin."

"Do you know it's him?"

Lin Fan shook her head. "I don't know."

The car stopped, raindrops splattering on the glass.

"How long will he be sentenced?"

"I'm responsible for catching people."

As the sky darkened, Lin Fan hugged her backpack to her chest. "I'm leaving."

"If you need it, I can sponsor your education—"

"No need." Lin Fan pushed open the car door and got out. She looked back, lifting her chin to look at Qin Feng. "Do you think he deserves to die?"

In the misty rain, her hair got wet.

"He killed four people, four lives, none of them deserved to die."

Lin Fan gripped the car door, her throat rolling. After a moment, she smiled faintly. "I'm leaving."

"You can move away from here; this is not a good place."

Lin Fan closed the car door, swung her backpack over her shoulder, and walked away briskly. She straightened her back. "If I have money, I'll move away. Thank you for giving me a ride back."

The murder case of Dong Mai stirred up a lot of discussion online. At first, Dong Mai's mother cried out about her daughter suffering from campus violence, with the suspect being a girl. Later, it was revealed that the real culprit was another boy, the boyfriend of that girl. Netizens had a field day with the drama. Dong Mai's mother brought a group of relatives to the school, holding banners. Xu Zhou had been arrested, but there was still Lin Fan.

When the head teacher called her to the office, Lin Fan already knew what fate awaited her.

"Your influence on our school is too significant, and I really have no choice. This is the result of our school's discussion, and I hope you can understand."

Lin Fan looked up. "I didn't do anything wrong."

"You have caused great losses to our school, that's a fact."

Lin Fan didn't know where she had gone wrong. Perhaps her existence itself was a mistake. She used to be timid, afraid of offending people, just wanting to study, but what's the use of studying? She was indeed lost after Xu Zhou was arrested.

Half a month later, Lin Fan chose to drop out.

The weather was already hot, but Lin Fan was still wearing a down jacket. The school she had once eagerly wanted to attend was now one she chose to leave voluntarily. She stood at the school gate for a long time until the security guard came to drive her away.

The road ahead was unclear, not knowing what to do.

She walked home and bought a set of sportswear at a nearby mall, wearing loose-fitting clothes. With her backpack slung over her shoulder, she walked into the community.

"Miss Lin?"

Suddenly hearing a voice, Lin Fan jumped and looked up to see a young man walking towards her.

Tall and slender, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, he had a handsome face.

"Mr. Ouyang?"

"How have you been lately?" He walked over, and somehow the sun had retreated into the clouds; his pale skin seemed to emanate a chill.

Lin Fan took a half step back. "I was just about to call you. I'm not living in the house anymore."

Ouyang Yuqing's cold black eyes fell on Lin Fan. "You signed the contract; you're the owner of this building. You can't leave."

Lin Fan was shocked. "What owner? Why can't I leave? Are you threatening me?"

He smiled, sending shivers down her spine. "You signed a Yin contract; it's not a threat." He walked towards Lin Fan, who glanced back and suddenly found herself unable to move towards the door. She watched him approach, her scalp tingling. She didn't know what he was. "What are you exactly? Are you human? Don't come any closer, I'll call for help."

Ouyang Yuqing reached her, very close, and his hand landed on Lin Fan's cheek.

His fingers were icy, like hundred-year-old ice, making Lin Fan's heart tremble.

"What are you doing?"

"Transcending the dead can extend your life for you."

A fireball burst in Lin Fan's chest, erupting after a while. She had been afraid of losing money on the bus, afraid of being expelled from school, but what was she afraid of now? "Are you crazy?"

"I don't lie. Trust me, you'll live." His fingers, snake-like, touched Lin Fan's skin, driving her almost mad.

"Help!" Lin Fan screamed hysterically, her neck probably already strained from shouting.

He withdrew his hand, his peach blossom eyes turning cold.

Instantly, a chill enveloped the entire world, cold to the depths of the heart, and the sky thundered. Dark clouds gathered, and a storm was imminent.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Lin Fan's teeth chattered, making a grinding sound.

"What are you exactly?"

"You were born a stillborn, with a fate but no lifespan. Someone extended it for you for eighteen years. Seeing ghosts isn't a coincidence for you; it's inevitable. Transcend the dead, accumulate blessings and lifespan. This building is a place of utmost yin. If you leave, you'll live for at most six months."

Xiao Cui is a rural girl. Her first job in the city was working as a maid for a wealthy family. Nowadays, the rich have their own preferences. They don't allow her to live in, nor do they allow her to stay in the villa for too long. After delivering groceries and cleaning, she must leave immediately.

The employer starts work at 8 o'clock in the morning, and Xiao Cui arrives at 9 o'clock to clean. Today, as usual, she neatly puts the groceries in the refrigerator and finds that the leftovers from yesterday haven't been touched. Xiao Cui puts the stale vegetables in a bag and immediately takes them back. The employer doesn't allow vegetables to be kept in the refrigerator for more than a day; if they're not eaten, they must be thrown away. She thinks it's a waste, so she usually takes them back to cook and eat.

While cleaning the living room on the first floor, she senses a strong odor in the house today. She carries the bucket upstairs.

Pushing open the master bedroom door, the room is pitch black, and the curtains are tightly drawn. Xiao Cui turns around to get water and notices blood stains on the edge of the door. She hurriedly grabs a cloth to wipe it.

Why is there blood? What is the employer doing?

After cleaning the blood off the door frame, she walks inside and sees clothes on the floor. But because the curtains are closed, she can't see clearly, so she finds the remote control and opens the curtains first.

Sunlight streams in from the window, illuminating the bed.

There is bright red blood on the bed, and white flesh.

Xiao Cui sits on the floor with a thud, screaming in horror. She scrambles downstairs and grabs the phone to call the police.

"The May Day holiday is ruined. Why did this happen now?" Liu, the forensic doctor, screams in dismay, grabbing his case and rushing to the police car.

Qin Feng can't remember the last time he had a holiday. He gets into the car and heads straight to the scene.

The crime scene is in a villa area. The victim was found dead in the bedroom by the maid, with his chest cut open.

"The victim's name is Fu Qiang, male, 35 years old, divorced."

Qin Feng puts on gloves and goes upstairs. There's nothing of evidential value on the first floor; the maid cleaned very thoroughly.

Upon opening the door on the second floor, he sees the naked body of a man, with no clothes on, cleanly removed.

The chest has been cut open, blood spilling all over the floor.

The forensic doctor examines the body. "The time of death is more than ten hours ago."

Qin Feng checks the doors and windows, which are intact. Except for the blood on the bed, the room is very clean.

"The heart is missing."

Qin Feng's expression changes instantly. He turns around. "What?"

"It's the same as the case of Qin Yu. The heart is missing," the forensic doctor says, "Come and take a look. The knife wounds are also the same. The perpetrator is probably the same person."

Qin Feng's face goes pale. He walks over quickly.

"Only the heart was taken, the rest of the body is intact, no signs of restraint or resistance. If the autopsy results show death due to excessive bleeding, we'll know if it's a series of cases."

Qin Feng stares at the body, his expression calm. In a short time, he heads straight to the southeast corner. The layout of this room is different from Qin Yu's. There's only a bedside table in the southeast corner.

"What are you looking for?"

Qin Feng opens the drawer and finds a Nirvana Sutra. He opens the book and sees yellow talisman papers.

His throat tightens, Qin Feng puts down the book and opens the talisman, revealing black powder inside.

The murderer of Qin Yu has appeared.

He has appeared.

"Captain Qin?"

Qin Feng puts the talisman into an evidence bag and says, "Check the surveillance in the neighborhood."

There are no extra pieces of evidence at the scene. The body is taken to the autopsy center for further examination.

Qin Feng continues to search the house for evidence and contacts Fu Qiang's family.
