"Absolutely. Because at that time, her room was locked from the inside, and all the windows were also locked from within. If there was a murderer, there would have been no way to escape."
"I understand." Zhang Mingda felt a chill run down his spine, cold sweat breaking out all over him.
However, at that moment, something even more bizarre happened.
After bidding farewell to the officer, Zhang Mingda returned to his office. Just as he reached the doorway, he noticed an envelope on the floor.
He bent down to pick it up and opened the envelope, revealing a blank piece of paper with five striking red numbers written on it.
Zhang Mingda leaned closer to the paper and gently sniffed it; a strong metallic scent of blood assaulted his senses.
"Mr. Zhang, you're back." A hoarse voice came from behind him.
He spun around abruptly to see Guo Yi standing quietly behind him, arms crossed.
"Uh-huh." Zhang Mingda hurriedly replied, his expression somewhat flustered.
"What do you have in your hand?" Guo Yi moved swiftly and snatched the paper from Zhang Mingda's grasp.
"Numbers?"
Guo Yi muttered to himself, then suddenly seemed to come to a realization. "This is written in blood, and it's written with a finger! You can see the fingerprints in the strokes!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingda's eyes suddenly lit up. He instinctively reached for the paper, but Guo Yi held it tightly and turned to leave.
The next day, Guo Yi informed Zhang Mingda that the blood on the paper was chicken blood, but the fingerprints belonged to Su Xiaoshuang.
Due to the custom of selecting a date for cremating the deceased, Su Xiaoshuang's body was still kept in the temple.
Zhang Mingda rushed to the temple with Guo Yi and discovered that the index finger on Su Xiaoshuang's right hand was red.
The monks in the temple were completely unaware of this. Upon seeing the red finger on the corpse, they were immediately frightened and knelt down, beginning to chant Buddhist scriptures.
Soon, rumors began to spread throughout the building, claiming that Su Xiaoshuang's ghost had returned, as the saying goes, "The ghost does not disperse."
This news made the people in the building even more terrified and uneasy, with several companies unable to bear the fear and choosing to move out.
With Su Xiaoshuang's ghost back, the atmosphere in the building became more tense and oppressive than ever.
As several companies had relocated, this once lavishly decorated office building now appeared somewhat desolate and cold. Zhang Mingda was troubled by Guo Yi's sudden appearance behind him when he discovered the blood-stained paper, suspecting that Guo Yi had deliberately played a trick.
To retaliate against Guo Yi, Zhang Mingda began to act secretly.
He managed to sneak into Guo Yi's bedroom and used a brush dipped in chicken blood to write a large "Ping" character on Guo Yi's bedsheet in Thai.
The first person to discover this character was not Guo Yi but a security guard from another company who shared the room with him.
This person, not understanding the situation, was terrified upon seeing the blood character and fled in panic, spreading rumors that a ghost had attached itself to Guo Yi.
While Zhang Mingda was secretly investigating Guo Yi, Guo Yi also made new progress in his investigation into Su Xiaoshuang's death.
His first key clue came from a piece of paper that bore the words " Drifting Yokai."
Guo Yi first searched online for information and then went to the library to consult ancient texts. He finally discovered that " Drifting Yokai " originated from an ancient Chinese book called "Huainanzi: Lanming Xun," meaning not a floating ghost but rather something vague and without support.
The location where this piece of paper was found was quite peculiar; it was not among the scattered documents on the floor.
In order to uncover the truth, Guo Yi had locked himself in Su Xiaoshuang's office.
He lay down in the spot where Su Xiaoshuang had fallen at the time of her death, trying to recreate the scene she experienced.
As he lay there, he inadvertently noticed a small corner of paper peeking out from under the only desk that had not been overturned. He reached out and pulled it out. Su Xiaoshuang must have hidden this paper for a special reason.
Guo Yi sought out Su Xiaoshuang's brother, Su Yong, to inquire about relevant details.
Su Yong mentioned that his sister had a deep passion for Mandarin and often enjoyed reading ancient texts.
He handed over the key to Su Xiaoshuang's apartment to Guo Yi, who then went there alone.
On Su Xiaoshuang's bookshelf, Guo Yi discovered a copy of "Huainanzi: The Teachings of Darkness."
He opened the book and found a black plastic key tucked inside, with the letter "S" embossed on it.
This was clearly a key for a storage cabinet, but where exactly was this cabinet?
Guo Yi held the key and examined it repeatedly. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and exclaimed excitedly to himself, "I know where it is!"
