He Jiao's soul left Xiao Mei's body, transforming into a vague silhouette with deep resentment and sadness shimmering in her eyes. Everyone watched helplessly as this invisible presence exuded anger and sorrow.
"Liu Chengzhi, even in death, you should not escape justice!" He Jiao's voice echoed like a ghost in the air, filled with endless fury.
The security guards and servants present were all shocked and stepped back in fear. They had never seen such a supernatural phenomenon before, their faces filled with panic and disbelief.
Professor Wu quickly stepped forward, trying to stop the vengeful spirit of He Jiao: "He Jiao, please understand, seeking revenge will only make your soul more tormented. What you need is peace and forgiveness, not to perpetuate this hatred."
He Jiao's soul appeared hesitant, her elusive figure swaying in the shadows. Her eyes flickered with struggle and pain.
The Taoist master silently took out a talisman from his sleeve and began to recite it softly, the words on the talisman starting to shimmer with a faint light.
Lin Xinhui held Xiao Mei in her arms, tears streaming down her cheeks. She whispered to He Jiao, "He Jiao, your child wouldn't want to see you like this. Please let go of this resentment and find peace for yourself."
Meanwhile, Chen Hanlin stood quietly to the side, his eyes showing a hint of sympathy and understanding, but also filled with a sense of helplessness. This was a battle of souls that humanity could not intervene in.
He Jiao's soul gradually calmed down, her voice becoming softer but still carrying deep sadness: "Perhaps you are right, I shouldn't be held captive by hatred. But I can't forget everything, I can't forget what he did to me and my child."
Lin Tianming tightly gripped the baton in his hand, his heart filled with complex emotions. But he also knew that this kind of emotion, this kind of pain, was beyond the reach of the law and justice.
Suddenly, He Jiao's soul let out a mournful cry, and then her figure gradually became transparent, eventually dissolving into scattered stars in the air, leaving behind a serene stillness.
Everything returned to calm, but behind this calmness, there was a deep scar, an indelible history.
Lin Tianming took a deep breath and signaled to the team members to return to the basement of the apartment for excavation. This case finally came to an end.
But he knew that what this case left for everyone was not just the lingering memory of fear, but also a profound reflection on human nature.
The team returned to the apartment's second floor basement, and this excavation operation went much more smoothly. The police proceeded cautiously, fearing they might disturb some secret that should not be disturbed. As the excavation went deeper, a terrifying scene gradually emerged.
In the ancient well that has stood the test of time, the police discovered, deep in the darkness, an object placed in the center of the well. It was a Headless woman statue crafted by the perpetrator of a crime of passion, but astonishingly, it was connected to the dried-up head of a woman at the neck.
The sunken-cheeked head, although its eyes had dried up and sunken into their sockets, still emitted a terrifying aura, as if silently recounting a tragic past.
Lin Tianming and his teammates shone their flashlights on this terrifying scene, and all of them couldn't help but feel frightened and horrified.
Two people at the bottom of the well continued to dig in the darkness next to the statue, and they found the skulls of other unknown deceased individuals, some large and some small, each emitting a cold and eerie, long-decayed odor.
Among these skulls, they were astonished to find the skull of Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu's skull had a pained expression, with hollow eyes, as if he had experienced unspeakable terror in his lifetime.
"These are all sacrifices of He Jiao's vengeful spirits... One of them should be the victim of the love murder case six years ago. We will take them back for DNA testing to confirm their identities," Lin Tianming said in a low voice, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
The scene is filled with a strange and terrifying atmosphere, as if this place is cursed, carrying endless sorrow and resentment.
Professor Wu and the Taoist master also went down to the bottom of the well to investigate, and both of them showed expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Professor Wu whispered, "These are all innocent lives, and their deaths are related to Liu Chengzhi's curse. We need to perform a ritual to help their souls rest in peace."
The Taoist master began preparing for the ritual, lighting incense in the basement and chanting the spell to help the departed souls. As he chanted, a solemn and sacred atmosphere filled the air.
Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin stood above, watching everything with deep sadness in their eyes. The tragedy of it all was due to one person's selfishness and greed.
As the ritual of salvation proceeded, the atmosphere in the basement gradually became solemn and peaceful.
The trapped souls seemed to find a way out in the chanting of the Taoist master, quietly dissipating into the air as if finally finding release.
After the ritual, the basement returned to calm, but a subtle sense of sadness still lingered in the air.
Lin Xinhui looked around and her eyes shimmered with complex emotions. She softly said to Chen Hanlin, "It's all over, but these stories, the mourning of these souls, will forever remain in our hearts."
Chen Hanlin nodded in agreement, his heart filled with reverence and contemplation for life. "Yes, we will remember these, remember those forgotten souls, and be vigilant not to tread the same wrong path."
Lin Tianming looked at the place where the departed souls had already been saved, feeling a mix of emotions. He realized that as a police officer, he faced not only real-life crimes, but also the complexity and unknowns that sometimes transcended reality.
"Our work is not done yet," Lin Tianming said firmly to his team members Li Weihan, Li Fang, and others. "We need to record these findings so that in the future, if we encounter similar situations, we can use them as references for our colleagues."
The team members nodded silently and began the final recording work. This experience was undoubtedly a profound life education for them.
Professor Wu and the Taoist master watched from the side, both with satisfied smiles on their faces. They knew that they had played a crucial role in this confrontation with supernatural forces.
With the conclusion of the investigation, the Lin Xinhui family can finally return to their lives with peace of mind.
But this experience undoubtedly changed their perception of the spirit world, giving them a deeper understanding of life and death.
