Chapter 414 Serial Murder Cases
After resting for a day, I woke up early, and then the ghost detective Xu called, and I made an appointment today to go find Mr. Hu's friend together.

Mr. Hu's friend is in Linshi. He called him yesterday, and he was waiting for us at home.

But halfway through the journey, Mr. Hu answered a phone call, and his face suddenly changed.

"Mr. Hu, what's the matter, you look so ugly, do you feel unwell?" I asked with concern.

Mr. Hu gripped the phone tightly, his knuckles turned white from the force, and even his arms trembled a little.

After a while, his arm holding the phone drooped weakly.

Seeing that the old man was not in the right state, I hurriedly asked Ghost Detective Xu to pull over, and asked again with concern.

"How is it possible? I talked on the phone yesterday and everything was fine. How can I say that I'm dead?" Mr. Hu was in a trance, and what he said surprised us.

"Who is dead, which friend of yours?" I asked with a look of surprise.

"Yeah, just now, because of a sudden cerebral infarction, he was not rescued on the way to the hospital." Mr. Hu murmured.

"Isn't this too coincidental?" Fatty Wang's small eyes were wide open.

"I also feel that this matter is very strange. By the way, he showed off to me on the phone yesterday, saying that he had collected a good antique, which was a big mistake." The more Mr. Hu said, the more urgent his tone became. .

After listening to Mr. Hu's words, we looked at each other, and we both saw the same thoughts as ourselves in each other's eyes.

"Is it such a coincidence that he died by cursing the antique?" Fatty Wang looked incredulous.

"You said I didn't think about it yesterday. If I could persuade him in time, maybe he wouldn't die." Mr. Hu's tone was full of remorse.

"Old man, don't blame yourself, if he really died by cursing Antique, he can't hide, but what happened recently, how come one after another, someone died by cursing Antique?" I fell into deep thought as I spoke.

"Anyway, let's go and have a look first." Ghost Detective Xu started the car again.

Mr. Hu's friend, who has no children, is a retired collector. When he is old, his daily life is taken care of by a nanny.

The one who called Mr. Hu before was his nanny. When we felt the hospital, we only had time to see him in the morgue for the last time.

"Definitely died of cursing the antique, I can smell that special rancid smell." Walking out of the morgue, Mr. Hu said in an affirmative tone.

In my mind, I still have that pale face. The old man who died was over 70 years old, and a horizontal line on his forehead showed that the other party died of an accident.

I don't know medicine, but I also know that if I die of a sudden illness, there will never be horizontal lines on my forehead.

At the entrance of the hospital, we met the old man's nanny, an honest rural woman in her 40s.

Because the deceased was a widowed old man, the funeral was completely handled by his nanny.

Mr. Hu exchanged a few words with the nanny, and proposed to visit his old friend's house, the other party nodded in agreement.

As soon as the door was opened, the nanny let out an exclamation, because the house was in such a mess that it seemed like a thief had entered.

"What's wrong?" Mr. Hu asked suspiciously.

"Someone has come in the house." The nanny looked around the house in panic.

"Is there anything missing?" I asked anxiously.

"The bronze tripod that Uncle Fang just bought is missing." The nanny looked for it in a panic.

My heart sank. The antiques disappeared for no reason, but the collectors died inexplicably. This fits the characteristics of cursing antiques and harming people.

The room was too messy, and we didn't see any tricks yet. A rapid ringtone of the mobile phone almost startled us.

Mr. Hu took out his mobile phone in doubt, and after connecting it, he chatted for a few words, his face became more and more serious.

When I saw Mr. Hu's expression, my heart skipped a beat, and I knew immediately that something bad had happened again.

"An old friend called just now and said that there are many collectors in the surrounding counties and cities. They died suddenly and tragically. It is suspected to be related to cursing antiques." Mr. Hu said in a heavy tone.

"Has this ever happened in the antique circle before?" I asked with a frown.

"No, although cursing antiques have always existed, but this is the first time I have encountered such a large-scale present." Mr. Hu walked back and forth anxiously.

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a little uneasy. I thought that the matter of cursing the ancient jade was an accidental and independent incident, but now it seems that the situation is not as simple as I thought.

The red mark on my arm started to itch again, and I subconsciously stretched out my hand to scratch it.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the red mark was distorted, as if it had come to life.

And the red threads hidden in the red marks writhed like maggots, and I was horrified.

But before I could react, not only did the itching and numbness disappear, but even the redness returned to its original state.

I looked gloomy, and the phrase "I'll be back" that the weird woman mouthed before disappearing came to my mind again.

"What's wrong, your face is so gloomy, what did you find?" Fatty Wang asked curiously.

I shook my head slowly. To be honest, I have no clue about the series of things I have encountered so far.

"I think we shouldn't scatter our energies. Let's find out the origin of the ancient jade first." Ghost Detective Xu said from the side.

"But the previous collector of Guyu died, and the person who knew about that collector is also dead now, so what can we do now?" Fatty Wang jumped out to pour cold water on him.

Before we could discuss a plan, the nanny who was tidying up the room suddenly let out a scream.

"What happened, what happened?" I rushed to the bedroom beside me.

"Hair! There are so many red hairs on the ground!" The nanny's face was pale, her fingers trembling, and she pointed to the side of the bed.

I looked along the other's fingers, and saw clusters of hair-like red strands extending from under the bed, writhing like snakes.

Seeing the familiar red again, my pupils contracted suddenly, and I threw out two burning talisman papers, and then rushed over quickly.

Before the burning talisman came into contact with the red thread, my heart was always in suspense, for fear that these weird red threads would be invisible and intangible. It was only after the burning talisman ignited the red thread that I breathed a sigh of relief.

Those weird red threads seemed to be particularly afraid of fire. Although the two burning talismans wiped out a large group, more red threads stubbornly came out from under the bed.

"What is this?" Ghost Detective Xu hurried in.

"I don't know, let's work together and open the bed first." I said hurriedly.

I stood by the bed, very close to the weird red silk, holding the edge of the bed tightly with both hands, feeling a little uncertain.

"I'm ready here, call one, two, three, let's work together." Ghost Detective Xu stood on my other side.

"One, two, three!" As soon as I finished speaking, I pushed the bed aside with all my might.

With a muffled sound, the old-fashioned wooden bed rolled over to one side, revealing the things hidden under the bed.

When I saw that thing, my pupils constricted to the extreme, I yelled badly, and looked back for the nanny.

Hidden under the bed was a dead body, densely covered with thin red threads, wriggling non-stop, it was chilling to see.

Although the other person's face was already difficult to recognize, I still recognized at a glance that the corpse was none other than the nanny of this house.

Under the same roof, there are two identical people, and one is dead and the other is alive. Even a fool knows that there is a problem.

However, my reminder was still one step too late.

When I saw the woman with a sly smile stretching her sharp nails towards Fatty Wang's neck, I roared and threw the jade sword in my hand vigorously.

Fatty Wang seemed dumbfounded by fright, and stood there blankly, completely ignorant of how to avoid it.

I cursed in my heart, this coward looks smarter than anyone else on weekdays, but whenever something really happens, he immediately loses his chain.

The ominous spirit who had been pretending to be a babysitter revealed nothing but her real face. It was a woman in a cheongsam, with long hair covering her face so that she couldn't see her face clearly.

"It's the costume of the Republic of China again!" My heart tightened, and I was convinced that this series of antique murders did not exist independently, and there must be some kind of connection between them that I didn't know.

The Gouyu sword with emerald green fluorescence stabbed at the left shoulder of the strange and fierce spirit, and the other party let out a scream.

Surprise flashed in my eyes, I didn't expect the thrown hook jade sword to hurt the opponent.

I didn't know that the evil spirit this time was an embroidered pillow, and it looked menacing, but it was not as powerful as the evil spirit in the hospital.

After being injured, the evil spirit temporarily gave up attacking Fatty Wang, and became much more cautious in his actions.

Because behind me, there is still a strange corpse to be dealt with, so I have to use two things at once.

While being vigilant against the ominous spirit on the other side, one must also be wary of the mutated corpse.

Fortunately, I am not alone, and I have companions to help.

Although Ghost Detective Xu doesn't know how to use spells, he has good skills, and it's no problem to control the spread of those red threads.

Fatty Wang, who had recovered his breath, concentrated on dealing with the corpse. As for Mr. Hu, he was so frightened that he passed out a long time ago.

That ominous spirit was also cunning, he tried to fight me a few times, but seeing that he couldn't gain any advantage, he pretended to pounce.

Afterwards, the ominous spirit who was rushing straight forward, whose figure violated the rules of physics, quickly retreated backwards, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

I stood there in a daze, the scene just now was too sudden, by the time I realized it, the ominous spirit had already escaped without a trace.

"Don't stand there in a daze, what to do with this corpse?" Fatty Wang yelled behind him.

I blinked my eyes, and then I remembered that the crisis has not been completely resolved.

It wasn't until I burned the nanny's body to ashes with a few talisman papers that I finally had a chance to catch my breath.

This battle is a bit inexplicable to say, but the only good news is that there were no casualties.

Mr. Hu was in a coma because he was frightened. After more than an hour, he slowly woke up.

The movement in the house has already alarmed the neighbors, and I even heard the siren. We didn't want to make troubles before we found out the truth of the matter, so we simply cleaned up and left here quickly.
