Professor Wu After leaving, Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin felt heavy and nervous. They realized that they were not only about to unravel the mystery of the vengeful spirit He Jiao, but also face a deeper and more dangerous unknown force.
They sat quietly in the living room, the sound of the wind outside accompanied by the faint rustling of leaves, creating an eerie atmosphere. Lin Xinhui held the still-sleeping Xiao Mei, her heart filled with a mother's worry and love.
"Are we really ready to face all of this?" Lin Xinhui asked in a low voice, with a hint of vulnerability in her tone.
Chen Hanlin looked out the window and replied solemnly, "We have no choice, we can only move forward bravely. Our home, our daughter, we must protect them."
They embraced each other as if seeking strength and courage from each other's arms. As time passed slowly, the clock in the living room ticked quietly, each tick reminding them of the preciousness of time.
At that moment, the sound of a police car came from outside, accompanied by flashing blue and red lights. Chen Hanlin quickly walked to the window and saw the police car parked outside the apartment.
"The police are here, we need to go and explain to them clearly, we can't let them go down," Chen Hanlin turned to Lin Xinhui and said.
They hurriedly greeted Officer Li Weihan and several other officers. Officer Li Weihan's expression was serious, as if he had already realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Hanlin, we have been approved by the higher authorities to come here for further investigation. What happened?" Officer Li Weihan asked.
Chen Hanlin hurriedly explained, "Officer Li, we have brought in a folklore expert who is conducting research on the situation here. We kindly request that the police hold off on the search for now, as it may interfere with the expert's work."
"Hanlin, this will put us in a very difficult position. We have already deployed a large number of police forces, and if we don't carry out the search, we won't be able to explain to our superiors. Even if the two of us are willing to believe you, we can't because there are other colleagues here, including the senior who investigated the case back then. As soon as he heard that there was a lead in the case he investigated years ago, he immediately rushed back to join the search team."
As soon as Officer Li Weihan's voice fell, a senior officer stepped out from the crowd. His face revealed a seriousness that comes with experience. This senior officer, named Lin Tianming, walked towards Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui with a firm and direct gaze. "Is it you who found the clue? Thank you very much, but please do not interfere with the police investigation," he said in a steady voice, conveying unquestionable authority.
Chen Hanlin responded urgently: "Officer Lin, we understand your position, but the experts we've brought in are already researching this case. If the police take action now, it might disrupt their plans."
Lin Tianming frowned, looking somewhat displeased: "We respect the opinions of civilian experts, but this case is very important to the police. It was a major regret for our police station back then, and now that we have a lead, we have a responsibility and obligation to investigate thoroughly."
Lin Xinhui interjected at this point, "Please trust us, Professor Wu is very skilled in this area and he may find the key to unraveling all of this."
Lin Tianming remained silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll give you a chance, but it must be within an hour. If you don't make any progress, our police will intervene immediately."
Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui exchanged a glance, feeling immense pressure but also grateful for the opportunity given by Lin Tianming.
The police team waited outside, while Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui returned to the living room, anxiously awaiting the return of Professor Wu.
The apartment was filled with a tense atmosphere. The sound of the wind outside intensified, and the rustling of the leaves seemed to be telling an ancient story, filling the entire space with an eerie and unsettling feeling.
Lin Xinhui sat on the sofa, holding Xiao Mei tightly, her eyes filled with worry and uncertainty. Xiao Mei slept quietly in her arms, as if she were a glimmer of light in the darkness.
Chen Hanlin kept pacing back and forth by the window, constantly looking outside.
His heart was filled with anxiety and unease, but he secretly made up his mind to protect his family no matter what difficulties he faced.
Time slowly passed in the tense wait. Lin Xinhui sat on the sofa, her gaze drifting to the window from time to time. Every sound of movement outside made her heart beat faster.
Xiao Mei fell asleep quietly in her arms, her breathing steady, in stark contrast to the tension outside.
Chen Hanlin walked to the window and observed the police cars and officers outside through the window. Their presence filled the place with uncertainty and urgency.
Chen Hanlin's thoughts were in a mess, he was worried that the intervention of the police would disrupt Professor Wu's plan, and also worried that if Professor Wu couldn't come back in time, all the efforts would be in vain.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, every minute and every second felt incredibly long. Lin Xinhui's gaze unconsciously fell on the old-fashioned clock in the living room, the ticking sound seemed particularly loud in this silent space.
The wind outside seems to have sensed the tense atmosphere indoors, carrying an urgent and piercing cold, like an ominous omen running rampant in the dark night.
Suddenly, there came a hurried footsteps from outside, and Professor Wu and an elderly-looking Taoist master hurriedly entered the apartment.
Professor Wu held a wooden box in his hand, containing various ancient props and talismans. The master Taoist's face was solemn, his eyes deep, as if he had witnessed countless storms.
"We are ready," Professor Wu said, his voice carrying a hint of determination, "Now we need everyone's cooperation. This ritual is very crucial and very dangerous."
Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin quickly stood up, their eyes filled with determination and trust.
"We will fully cooperate," Chen Hanlin replied firmly.
Lin Tianming The police officer also saw this scene, and a hint of curiosity and puzzlement flashed in his eyes, but he adhered to the agreement and did not allow a large number of police officers to intervene, choosing instead to continue waiting outside on the first floor.
Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin then took Professor Wu and the Taoist to the second floor of the basement, where they found the ancient well.
Professor Wu and the Taoist master began to set up the ritual, drawing complex symbols on the floor of the living room and arranging various props.
There was a mysterious and ancient atmosphere in the air, enveloping the entire basement room in an eerie ambiance.
Lin Xinhui nervously held Xiao Mei in her arms, standing by carefully watching, her heart filled with worry and anticipation. Chen Hanlin stood next to Professor Wu, ready to act according to Professor Wu's instructions at any time.
