Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser - Chapter 1209
Chapter 1209: The Murderer Is Caught
“That’s good. The most effective way is to call the police directly and help them in their investigation.” When Chi Shuyan said this, Driver Chen froze. Chi Shuyan pretended not to see his reaction and continued, “You’ve seen the murderer, so you can describe what he looks like to the police. I believe that with your help, the police will be able to find the murderer quickly. Of course, during this period, don’t go out driving if you can. That person should know that you’re a taxi driver. He might look for you at some taxi stand or rental car company!”
Chi Shuyan’s words stunned Driver Chen again, and his mind went blank, especially when he heard her last sentence. He still hadn’t recovered from the shock, and his hair stood on end.
On the side, Xiao Ningjin and the others felt a chill in their hearts and they sucked in cold breaths of air.
Driver Chen’s wife was timid and couldn’t make a decision, but Driver Chen immediately decided to listen to the Master in front of him. Driver Chen now trusted her very much. Her words from last night had saved him from death, so her words of advice today would definitely work.
Driver Chen gritted his teeth and immediately agreed. “Yes, yes… Master, I believe you. I know what to do. Master, thank you! Thank you!”
After saying that, Driver Chen gave her 500 yuan for the reading last night. He then placed on the side the gift which his wife had prepared, and said nicely, “Master, this is a token of my appreciation.”
Chi Shuyan only accepted the 500 yuan and didn’t accept the gift, and had the couple take it back with them.
Driver Chen and his wife were reluctant at first, but when they saw the Master’s firm attitude, they gave in. At that moment, even Driver Chen’s wife felt that this Master in front of her was definitely an expert, and she didn’t dare underestimate her because of her age.
Before they left, Chi Shuyan suddenly called out to Driver Chen and kindly reminded him, “I see now that you’re not a short-lived person. Relax, don’t worry too much. However, before you go to the police to help them, it’s best if you don’t reveal who you are to anyone else so easily!”
Driver Chen and his wife, who were originally a bit pale, heaved sighs of relief when they heard the Master’s words, and their complexions improved a lot. Driver Chen became even more determined when he heard the Master’s suggestion. As long as he helped the police catch the murderer, he would definitely be fine.
Driver Chen thanked the Master again. Afraid of disturbing her rest, he immediately left with his wife.
Chi Shuyan looked at their departing backs and told everyone to go back to their rooms and rest for another day before they returned to the capital tomorrow.
The group was speechless at being told by Master Chi to take a break.
Didn’t Master Chi tell them last night to gather downstairs at 9:30am in order to go to Swan Lake with her to collect the remains of that ghost thing and sever karma?
Chi Shuyan took in their expressions and said, “I already went to Swan Lake last night, so there’s no need to collect the remains!”
Xiao Ningjin, Jiang Duo, Wei Panyang, Chang Hao, Xiong Luoying: …
Startled, Xiao Ningjin couldn’t help but ask, “Master Chi, does that mean that the ghost won’t come looking for us any longer?”
The others immediately looked at Master Chi.
Chi Shuyan thought about how many lives that thing had taken over the centuries, how many atrocious things it had done, and how it had even gone against the heavens to create a blood pool for cultivation. Even if she hadn’t gotten rid of it, there would have come a day when that thing couldn’t escape heavenly punishment, and the heavens would deal with it. The heavens wouldn’t let anyone be tainted by the karma of such a sinister and harmful thing.
Chi Shuyan explained in simple terms to the boys that she had dealt with everything last night. They didn’t have to worry about this matter anymore, unless one of them was unlucky enough to run into evil again.
Xiao Ningjin and the others heaved sighs of relief when they heard the first half of Master Chi’s words, but when they heard the latter half, they shuddered violently. They really didn’t want to encounter such a terrifying thing again.
Seeing their reactions, Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Don’t worry, your luck shouldn’t be that good. People usually only encounter evil once in their lives. If their luck is too good, they might encounter it two or three times!”
Xiao Ningjin and the others hurriedly shook their heads. They would rather not have this kind of luck at all. They had almost lost their lives after one encounter, to say nothing of a second possible run-in.
“Okay, if you want to rest, go and rest. If you want to go out, go out. Don’t go too far! Come back before 10pm!” Chi Shuyan said.
Because the matter of Swan Lake had been completely resolved, the boys were in a good mood. Of course, they definitely didn’t want to go to Swan Lake anymore, unless Master Chi personally went with them. They made up their minds not to travel so much in the future, and would obediently stay in the capital.
After this incident, everyone felt that it really wasn’t easy nor an extravagance to live safe, uneventful lives.
Chi Shuyan and the boys stayed here for two nights. The next afternoon, it was reported on the news that the police in Y City had already caught the murderer. With Driver Chen’s help, the arrest went smoothly.
Chi Shuyan finally heaved a sigh of relief for Driver Chen. She took out her phone and called the others, saying that they would leave at 1pm.
Something had happened to Xiao Ningjin, Xiong Luoying, Chang Hao, Wei Panyang and Jiang Duo here. In addition, a few of their friends had died because they had provoked something at Swan Lake. The five of them didn’t have a good impression of Y City. On the contrary, they couldn’t wait to return to the capital, so when they heard Master Chi’s words, they were very excited.
The group didn’t have much luggage, and Jiang Duo had driven the car close to the inn earlier. Everyone ate lunch and got ready to leave, but before they could do so, Driver Chen and his wife rushed over.
The reason they had rushed over was naturally to thank Chi Shuyan. Because the murderer had been caught, Driver Chen had heaved a huge sigh of relief today. The husband and wife were really sincere in their gratitude to the young lady in front of them. When they came this time, they brought a lot of local specialties with them. Because the Master hadn’t accepted the expensive gift before, the couple also had some idea of her character. They didn’t bring any expensive gifts this time, and only brought some local specialties.
These specialties were a token of the couple’s appreciation.
The couple didn’t know that the Master was leaving. Otherwise, they would have brought more things with them.
Chi Shuyan told the couple that there was no need to stand on ceremony. Seeing that these weren’t expensive specialties from Y City, she accepted them.
Driver Chen and his wife were very happy and heaved sighs of relief.
When Xiao Ningjin and the others heard that the matter had been resolved and the murderer had been captured, they felt more and more that Master Chi was really unfathomable for her young age.
Thoughts raced through Wei Panyang’s mind as he thought of how Master Chi was going to introduce Shi Ran as a disciple to someone else. Wei Panyang felt that even if Master Chi didn’t take in a disciple herself, her friend definitely wouldn’t be an ordinary person. Thinking this, Wei Panyang’s eyes turned red with envy.
If Chang Hao, Luoying and Ah Duo knew about this, they would definitely be green with envy.
Before everyone got into the car, Wei Panyang took a seat next to Master Chi and whispered, “Master… Master Chi, are you taking in disciples?”
In fact, he wanted to ask: Master Chi, do you think I have the foundation to become a Celestial Master?
After parting ways with Driver Chen and his wife, no one expected Wei Panyang to suddenly bring this up in the car. Everyone perked up and pricked up their ears to hear Master Chi’s answer.
They now truly knew what Master Chi was capable of. Her age aside, she was definitely more capable than anyone else.
The boys longed to learn a few tricks.
“If you’re not afraid of ghosts, I can consider it!” Chi Shuyan curled her lip and smiled.
Wei Panyang was rendered speechless. He was really afraid of ghosts. It wasn’t just him; so was the rest of the group. Who wasn’t afraid of ghosts?
In any case, what happened at Swan Lake had almost scared them to death.
The boys didn’t dare mention it again; instead, they wanted to buy things from Chi Shuyan’s online shop. Unfortunately, she had been busy recently and hadn’t put anything up for sale. Almost everything in the shop was sold out, and even the talismans had been snatched up. Of course, the ones who had snatched the talismans were the boys.
Chang Hao, Xiong Luoying and Xiao Ningjin still couldn’t forget the Nourishment Pills. Their hearts ached at the thought that they had given away such a good thing.
Wei Panyang was a bit stupefied. He still didn’t know about the Nourishment Pills. The other three ignored Wei Panyang and couldn’t help but ask solicitously, “Master Chi, when will you restock your online shop with things like the Nourishment Pill?”
