Chapter 873

Ghost in the Room

It sounded very superstitious and the reporters wouldn’t have bought such a far fetched story. But how else were they going to rationalize their cameras exploding in their hands?

They gulped nervously. The whole incident was mysterious enough and now that their cameras were ruined. It was obviously time to leave. After all, what was the point of writing news articles if there weren’t any photos to back themselves up?

“What the heck! This is crazy!”

The reporters couldn’t help but curse. They threw their ruined cameras and ran out hysterically.

The remaining reporters saw what they did and joined them too, realizing that their lives were more important than this.

Yang Chen guarded the room until Lin Ruoxi came over with the person in charge.

“Did you call the police? We need to run some tests on the things here…” Yang Chen said.

Lin Ruoxi nodded and looked into the room. She didn’t dare to stare too long at the corpse. it was still unbearable for her although she had seen a few just by being with Yang Chen.

She sighed and said worriedly, “Things are going to get worse. Based on her popularity, the whole of China would know that she died at one of Yu Lei’s events.”

Yang Chen sneered. “Isn’t that what the murderer wants?”

Lin Ruoxi thought about this too and she held her forehead. “I can’t think of anyone who would kill Lu Yao just to take us down. Plus the guards said they didn’t see anyone suspicious so how did the person do this without being caught on camera?”

“It’d make sense if he wasn’t human,” Yang Chen said with a detached tone.

Lin Ruoxi widened her eyes and whispered, “Are you saying that it might be the work of those that cultivate? The ones you mentioned?”

Yang Chen shrugged. “Don’t think so. He’s not that skilled. I’m not sure so let's wait for the detectives to run some tests. Anyway just relax, we can only find out the truth to prove our innocence in murder cases like this.”

Lin Ruoxi had no choice so she could only try to calm the others down and wait for Yang Chen to take care of things. No matter how tough she appeared to be, she was still an ordinary human.

Minutes later, Cai Yan showed up with a group of policemen.

She only made eye contact with Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi briefly before ordering her subordinates to lock down the site and start the search for evidence.

Immediately after that, Cai Yan questioned according to the protocol. “Who’s the first eyewitness?”

Zhao Hongyan raised her hand. “I am… I was here on President Lin’s orders to check on Miss Lu Yao, but all I saw was her corpse…”

“Did you see or meet anyone suspicious on your way here?” Cai Yan questioned.

Zhao Hongyan tried to recall but she eventually shook her head. “I only saw a few waitresses but they only came to check up on me since I was startled. Other than that there wasn’t anyone suspicious.”

Cai Yan then summoned the waitresses and questioned them. But her results seemed to indicate that there was nothing fishy about them.

One of the investigators came up to her and reported his findings. “Chief Cai, we speculate that Miss Lu Yao died from excessive blood loss due to a knife cut across the carotid artery. The murderer slashed through her neck repeatedly, indicating grudge or revenge. As for the time of death, we estimate thirty minutes or so ago. The suspected murder weapon is the fruit knife under the sofa. But weirdly, there was no sign of struggle on Miss Lu Yao.”

Yang Chen asked from the side, “She might have sustained other wounds. Did you guys manage to find any?”
