“Huanggang Village?”

Yang Jian’s gaze flickered as he looked at this rural area along the road.

The entire Huanggang Village had a half-new, half-old feeling to it.

The houses in front were newly built rural villas, very comfortable to look at. However, the back half of the village was very old, with not only adobe houses, but also wooden houses from over a hundred years ago. Some of the wooden houses were inhabited by old people, while others were abandoned, with windows falling off and doors half open, inside was pitch black, not even sunlight could shine in.

It gave off a gloomy feeling.

But this wasn’t surprising.

Every rural area was like this, it was just the thought of a real ghost existing here that made people uneasy.

“Hey, Liu Xiaoyu?” Yang Jian decided to ask about the situation first and dialed his satellite positioning phone.

“Yang Jian, your timing is perfect. There’s something I haven’t had the chance to tell you about last time. It’s information about Zhao Kaiming, the new criminal police in Dachang City. There’s a bit of a problem with his mental evaluation, and it’s probably going to be difficult to get along with him. You should be careful, and if necessary, don’t get into conflicts with him. After all, you’ll be comrades in the future.” Liu Xiaoyu held a file about Zhao Kaiming.

“You’re too late to say that now. That Zhao Kaiming has already bullied me, and I can’t even compare to him as a comrade.” Yang Jian said, “Right now I’m in a place called Huanggang Village on the outskirts of Dachang City. I heard there was a paranormal incident here. Do you have any files on this?”

“I’ll try to help you, but I don’t have the authority. I can only ask my colleagues to help you find it.” Liu Xiaoyu said.

“Who has the authority?” Yang Jian asked.

“Of course it’s you. Once you become an international criminal police officer, you have the right to access files, not only for other paranormal incidents but even for other criminal police officers’ files.” Liu Xiaoyu said.

“Then please try to help me find it. If you find it, send it to me as soon as possible. Also, after this is over, I want to join the international criminal police. Can you arrange it?” Yang Jian said.

Although joining the international criminal police was very dangerous when it came to solving paranormal incidents, if he could find a way to control the second ghost and extend the revival of the fierce ghost, he could choose to join.

The power of the criminal police was too great, and their actions were very convenient.

It was worth the effort.

When Liu Xiaoyu heard that Yang Jian wanted to join the international criminal police, she was excited. “As long as you agree, I can quickly arrange for someone to meet with you for a brief training and mental evaluation. After that, you’ll be able to start work within a week.””Very well, but I want to take over Zhao Kaiming and become the person in charge of Dachang City.” Yang Jian said.

“I can’t do that, it depends on the arrangements above.” Liu Xiaoyu said.

“What if Dachang City doesn’t have an international criminal police?” Yang Jian asked.

“If Dachang City doesn’t have an international criminal police, of course, we would prioritize local people.” Liu Xiaoyu said, but she soon realized something and said in shock, “Don’t do anything reckless. Although I don’t know what conflicts or frictions you have with Zhao Kaiming, this is not the reason for you two to fight. Everything still needs to be considered for the overall situation.”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely consider the overall situation. Remember to help me check the archives. This supernatural event is also your responsibility. I am now a free volunteer worker, and you have the obligation to assist me.” Yang Jian said.

“You’re right, I will do my best to assist you. Solving supernatural events is the top priority now.” Liu Xiaoyu nodded.

“Very well, talk to you next time. And… if there’s nothing urgent, don’t call me. I’m already in Huanggang Village, and I may encounter ghosts at any time.” Yang Jian hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

Liu Xiaoyu frowned at the other end and immediately reported the matter to Captain Zhao Jianguo.

Zhao Jianguo smiled after hearing it, “What’s the problem? When Yang Jian passes the assessment and becomes a police officer, we can transfer Zhao Kaiming. Dachang City will definitely be better off with Yang Jian in charge of security since he is a local. Your main task now is to assist him in solving the supernatural events in Huanggang Village. I will go and get the specific files.”

“If he can solve the two supernatural events alone, then giving him some special treatment is nothing.” Liu Xiaoyu felt relieved after hearing this.

“Everything is easy when one is alive, but nothing can be done when one is dead.” Yang Jian looked at the satellite positioning phone in his hand and saw the miserable scene of Zhou Zheng’s death in his mind.

Is that going to be his future?

He entered the village.

He saw Zhang Han, Ye Jun, and several members of the Little Strong Club standing there with a serious expression, as if they had discovered something. Even his arrival did not attract their attention, they just glanced at him casually.

Yang Jian took a look.

His eyes narrowed.

He saw a building with its door open in front of him, surrounded by wreaths on both sides. A group of villagers were wearing mourning clothes and burning paper money in front of a red coffin, crying.

Obviously, someone had died in the village, and they were holding a funeral.

Yang Jian took a look at the portrait in front of the coffin… It was a handsome man wearing a suit.”Such bad luck this year, why did someone have to die and cause a funeral at this time? Isn’t it just adding chaos to our lives?” Zhang Han, a middle-aged man not far away, smoked a cigarette and frowned, feeling unhappy.

As soon as they entered the village, they saw a red lacquered coffin placed in the hall. The villagers were dressed in mourning clothes, crying and weeping. It was indeed not a good sign.

“Just in case, we should burn this coffin with fire. Who knows if the corpse inside will run around at night?” someone suggested.

Ye Jun looked at him and said, “Who will burn it? Saying something like that in front of the villagers will definitely anger them. Not to mention solving the supernatural events, it’s even a problem whether we can stay in this village. Besides… if it’s just a normal corpse, it doesn’t matter to us. We have seen many corpses like this.”

“Don’t be alarmed, it’s just a dead person. Dead people are not worth being afraid of. It’s the ghosts in this village that make people feel scared.”

“But we still don’t know anything about the situation in this village. I suggest we investigate and ask the villagers if there is anything unusual here. With our abilities, even if we really encounter ghosts, we won’t die immediately. When the time comes, we can all work together. Even if there are really ghosts, we can handle it.” someone proposed.

“This village is neither big nor small, and collective action is a bit slow. Let’s form teams of two and investigate thoroughly first.”

“Okay, let’s do that.”

The members of the Xiaoqiang Club discussed and felt that they should investigate together first and then take action according to the situation.

Yang Jian was not the same as them, so he naturally stayed on the side.

He looked at the coffin in the mourning hall, took another phone, took a photo of the portrait on it, and sent it to Liu Xiaoyu to investigate who the dead person was, the cause of death, and if there were any suspicious places.

Supernatural events are not untraceable.

If the cause of death is strange, it is mostly because of ghosts. The way the person died can also give a rough idea of how the ghost killed them.

This is very important.

Yang Jian saw that besides him, none of the other members of the Xiaoqiang Club had thought of this. He didn’t know if they hadn’t thought of it or didn’t care because there were many people.

“Let’s take a tour of the village and see the situation, then find a place to stay.” he thought to himself.

Immediately, he carried his luggage and shuttled through the village, familiarizing himself with the terrain and roads of the village, while paying attention to some strange places.”Yang Jian, can I talk to you for a moment?” At this moment, Zhang Han from the Xiaoqiang Club caught up with the others and spoke up.

Yang Jian turned his head and looked at him curiously. “Zhang Han? What’s up?”

Zhang Han smiled. “It’s obvious that your ability to solve this supernatural event alone is not enough. How about we work together?”

“You’re from the club, why don’t you find your own people to work with instead of coming to me?” Yang Jian asked as he walked.

“I’m looking for the most capable person to work with. They are not as good as you, to be honest. I think our chances of success are the highest if we work together,” Zhang Han said earnestly.

“It’s too early to talk about this now. It’s just a rumor of a supernatural event here. I can’t be sure if there really is a ghost. Maybe the ghost has already left Huanggang Village. After all, the ghost’s location can change,” Yang Jian said.

“If there really is a ghost, come talk to me about working together.”

Zhang Han smiled awkwardly. “Sure.”

“Cough, cough.”

Just as Yang Jian and Zhang Han were talking, a cough suddenly came from behind them, almost right next to them. The sound was weak and feeble, like someone who was seriously ill.

“Who?” Zhang Han was instantly scared and turned around, but there was no one there. He only saw an old dilapidated wooden house in the direction where the sound came from.

The house was abandoned, with most of the roof tiles collapsed and the door missing half of it. It was dark and damp inside, and even poultry and wild dogs didn’t want to hide in it.

“This can’t be happening,” Zhang Han murmured.

Yang Jian’s eyes flickered, and he walked over and kicked open the door of the wooden house.

“Bang!”

The door of the wooden house broke apart due to aging and fell to the ground, revealing everything inside.

Except for weeds, there was nothing inside.

“Is there no one here?” Yang Jian’s face became serious.

“Is… it a ghost?” Zhang Han asked.

“I don’t know. I don’t feel any danger. Maybe an old man passing by coughed. After all, there are many paths in this village, and it’s normal for someone to pass by. Don’t follow me. If there really is a ghost here, you can come and tell me, and then I will consider whether to work with you,” Yang Jian said.

He never thought about dealing with the ghost alone. He deliberately leaked the information to the members of the club, hoping to catch the praying mantis by its forelegs.So, he didn’t plan to charge to the forefront.

“Since you’ve said this, I won’t force you. Good luck.” Zhang Han felt that the surroundings were not very safe, so he hurriedly left.
