Zhang Tianyi put down his phone, and his originally calm face immediately sank. Xiao Mo and Zuo Ran Fashi both noticed it and turned their heads to look at him.

  Seeing the two people's puzzled gaze, Zhang Tian paused for a moment, and then heard him say in a low voice:

  "The ghost impersonated Cui Xuan-yuan and lured Old Gao and the others away to another place."

  "What?"

  Upon hearing this, both Monk Mochan and Xiao Mo were taken aback. They couldn't understand why the ghost would do such a thing. The three old men were clearly not victims of this incident, so why did the ghost intentionally target them?

  "What's going on? Has someone been killed?"

  Xiao Meng couldn't help but ask in a low voice, Zhang Tian glanced at Cui Xuan-yuan sitting opposite him and silently shook his head.

  "It hasn't come to that yet."

  In fact, from the moment they rushed to Cui Xuan-yuan's house, they had already anticipated that something was not quite right, because Cui Xuan-yuan told them that no one had come looking for him before.

  This is very unusual, Old Gao and the three of them should have arrived together by now. Zhang Tianyi immediately dialed Old Gao's phone number, and that's how he learned about these things from Old Gao himself.

  In two different places, there appeared to be two identical Chui Xuan Yuans, so it was obvious that one of them must have been a ghost in disguise. Combined with the inquiries made by Lao Gao and his two companions about that Chui Xuan Yuan, who was impersonating whom became clear at once.

  Xiao Mo knew that in front of Cui Xuan Yuan, Zhang Tian Yi had some things he couldn't say, so he tactfully didn't ask again. Instead, he pretended to ask Cui Xuan Yuan:

  "Now you can tell us about your experience on WeChat."

  Zhang Tianyi had previously obtained Choi Sun-yeon's trust with a dubious police ID, and so Xiao Mo's inquiry proceeded very smoothly.

  At first, Cui Xuan-yuan was hesitant and seemed embarrassed to talk about his romantic affairs. It can be seen that he has done such things on WeChat many times before. Later, Xiao Mo's attitude became tougher, and Cui Xuan-yuan finally spoke out with a hardened expression, describing the process in great detail.

  Like most victims, Cui Xuan-yuan also had the intention of hooking up and added the ghost while searching for people nearby. The subsequent steps were roughly the same, with the ghost sending a crying voice, Cui Xuan-yuan taking the opportunity to comfort her, then receiving photos sent by the ghost, opening the video chat window...

  "Officer, I really didn't know it was a scammer. To be honest, I had already blocked it."

  Cui Xuan was afraid that Xiao Mo would catch him in an illegal cohabitation, so as soon as he finished speaking, he hastily explained himself. Xiao Mo didn't have the patience to listen to his nonsense, and with a wave of his hand, he coldly interrupted him:

  "Stop talking nonsense and answer the question honestly!"

  "Yes, yes."

  "I'm asking you, have you encountered any strange things in the past few days? Um... like having hallucinations, hearing unknown sounds, feeling anxious and panicked in your heart, and so on. Have you?"

  "No, I just felt something was off that day, my phone screen went black first, and soon an eye appeared on it."

  "Besides this matter!"

  Chui Xuan Yuan racked his brains again and finally replied with absolute certainty:

  "It's all gone!"

  During the inquiry process, Monk Mian and Zhang Tianyi did not intervene with words, but quietly listened on the side until Xiao Mo finished asking questions. Only then did Zhang Tianyi speak up:

  "We understand what you've said, thank you for your cooperation. Also, we'd like to take a look at your phone."

  "I swear I didn't cheat you guys!"

  Choi Xuan Yuan was somewhat reluctant, after all, a mobile phone is also a person's private matter.

  "This is routine business, I hope you will cooperate."

  It was clear that there was no way to avoid it, so Cui Xuan Yuan could only nod in agreement. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a smartphone, handing it over to Zhang Tianyi.

  Zhang Tianyi took over the phone and started checking it out, while Xiao Mo asked with some concern:

  "Do you have only this mobile phone? Was it this one that received the WeChat message from that woman at that time?"

  "I have only one mobile phone, and I usually use it to play WeChat."

  Xiao Mo nodded and also shifted his gaze to the phone, just as Zhang Tianyi opened the WeChat page and found the chat record between Cui Xuan and Youling. He looked at it carefully and found that apart from some ambiguous nonsense, the rest was the same as what he had received.

  If there's anything different, it's that photo, the beautiful woman in the photo, she looks... like she's changed!

  Zhang Tianyi and Mo Ran also noticed this, and the three of them exchanged a fleeting glance at this moment, as if seeking confirmation from each other about the subtle changes they felt.

  The woman in the photo still looks beautiful and charming, with long eyelashes, a straight nose, and delicate facial features... At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong, but upon closer inspection, it's not hard to notice that one of the woman's eyes has a faint redness.

  The change in the photo is like a kind of omen, foretelling the approaching death of the next victim!

  "I'm sorry, your phone will be taken as evidence and brought back to the bureau. After we copy the contents, it will be returned to you, probably within two days."

  "I object! I only have this one phone, if I give it to you, what will I use?"

  "If you don't mind, you can use mine."

  “……”

  After much debate, Cui Xuan-yuan still chose to compromise, and Zhang Tian-yi also did not keep his previous promise to hand over his mobile phone to Cui Xuan-yuan. Before leaving, the rotten monk again used a reason to lead Cui Xuan-yuan outside, and Zhang Tian-yi and Xiao Mo took the opportunity to install several miniature cameras in the house.

  Everything was ready and they bid farewell to Cui Xuan-yuan.

  As they walked outside, Zhang Tianyi said with a hint of sarcasm to Xiao Mo:

  "Your words of inquiry are quite similar to what actually happened."

  "And learned from TV dramas."

  Xiao Mo casually added a sentence, in fact he was very familiar with the words of that inquiry, to put it simply, it was like an instinct, as if he had repeated it countless times.

  The Taoist priest smiled after hearing this and said to Xiao Mo and his companions:

  "By the way, what kind of trouble did Lao Gao and them run into?"

  "It's not clear yet, for now it's just hearsay that the ghost disguised itself as Cui Xuan-yuan and led them to other places. Let's hurry back to the hotel, we previously agreed to gather there after things ended, they should all be back by now."

  "The ghost's next target is likely to be Cui Xuan-yuan, should I dispose of his phone first. If Cui Xuan-yuan dies, then I..."

  Xiao Mu's face showed a deep worry, this was also an unavoidable matter, there were only six victims in total, if Cui Xuan died, then the ghost's killing target would obviously be him next.

  Zhang Tianyi and Mo Ran also knew that Xiao Mo's current situation was very dangerous. If they couldn't find a solution as soon as possible, Xiao Mo would likely follow in the footsteps of the previous victims.

  The Taoist priest was still friendly towards Xiao Mo. Seeing Zhang Tianyi hesitating to respond, he urged him again:

  "For the time being, we don't have a good solution, so let's try following Xiao Mo's previous guess and hand over Cui Xuan's phone to someone else, to see if we can use this method to shift the ghost's target."

  After listening, Zhang Tianyi stopped in his tracks, turned around and asked Xiao Mo:

  "Do you know that giving your phone to someone else is like killing them? Are you really sure you want to do this?"
