Hei Xia Zi was stunned, as if he didn't expect Cheng Ji to say that, but he still asked uncertainly: "What is that? A corpse?"

Cheng Ji shook his head and continued, "You should also know that corpses are uncontrollable. There is no sign of dragging on it, only this one footprint. I don't think it's a corpse being carried, but more like some evil thing."

Hei Xiazi was stunned: "Evil creature?"

Cheng Ji nodded and gave Hei Xiazi an example: "Have you heard of sleep paralysis?"

"Sleep paralysis?"

"Yeah, it's the same as sleep paralysis, except that the thing on her back isn't a living thing, it's more like a ghost."

Cheng Ji put the photo of Hei Xia Zi aside, sighed and said, "When you get over there, follow me and don't go forward."

"That ghost thing, once it comes into contact with you, it will attach itself to you, just like a water ghost. Only when you find the next scapegoat will you have the possibility of reincarnation. With your physique, it is easy for that ghost thing to entangle you, and you will be in some trouble at that time."

As he spoke, Hei Xiazi parked the car in front of the burning building. The curve of his mouth was not suppressed by Cheng Ji's words. He smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, whatever Master Cheng says is what I will listen to you."

The two men got out of the car and met the police officers who were investigating with them head-on. Without any unnecessary nonsense, they got straight to the point.

As they walked, the two policemen explained the situation in the building to the two men: "This building is an abandoned building that has been abandoned for a long time. According to the neighbors, no one has lived in this building for more than ten years. It has been abandoned here all the time. No one knows what happened to it."

"A fire broke out a few days ago. After it was put out, we found the fourteen bodies inside. The gentleman next to you has been adamant that there were fifteen bodies. We have checked this place inside and out many times in the past two days, but we can't find the fifteenth body."

Cheng Ji followed the two policemen into the blackened building and casually agreed, "He's right, there is indeed a fifteenth body."

Two policemen: “…”

They have never seen such a ridiculous verdict in all their years of practice.

The person assigned by the higher-ups looked at the photo and said there was a fifteenth person, and added that the person must be carrying something on his back.

The other person brought here by this person was even more ridiculous. He hadn't even arrived at the crime scene yet, but he just walked into a door and was directly judged for them.

Is this person invited to solve the case or to perform shaman rituals?

Cheng Ji saw the disbelief in the eyes of the two policemen, but he didn't get angry. He turned sideways and faced the two policemen: "We can help you find the fifteenth body that can't be found. This person is also the arsonist, but how to judge this case? I'm afraid you have to call your superiors over."

The police's first reaction when they heard Cheng Ji's words was disbelief. Not to mention whether these two kids, who looked even younger than them combined, had the ability to do this, just based on the current progress of the case, it seemed like they were making fun of them by calling their leader over for no reason.

Cheng Ji ignored the two policemen who were not paying attention to the case, and walked straight to the rooftop with Hei Xia Zi.

The middle of the building looks very strange, as if it is unfinished. There is a square spiral staircase leading to the rooftop, but there is an open space in the middle of the building, which is covered by trees and overgrown with weeds. You cannot see the entire view below from the upstairs.

The policeman following the two men kept muttering: "Go ahead but don't destroy the footprints at the scene, you can't..."

Cheng Ji interrupted him halfway through his words, smiling: "Why did you invite us here? I'm sure even kids of this age know this. You've already told us this many times since we came up the stairs. Can you take a break?"

Perhaps Cheng Ji's appearance was too bewitching. The two policemen fell silent as they looked at this abominable face.

Hei Xia Zi raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he wanted to say something to this world that has begun to judge people by appearances. However, for the sake of his 100 million yuan debt, he just moved his lips and chose to keep silent.

Cheng Ji, who had a rare moment of peace and quiet, climbed up to the rooftop in just a few steps, looked at the bare roof without any guardrails, and walked over.

The older policeman saw Cheng Ji's actions and became anxious for a moment: "Hey, don't go over there, it's so dangerous, there's not even a guardrail, what if you fall down?"

Cheng Ji stopped walking when he heard that, turned around and said with a half-smile: "You also know that it's easy to fall down here without a guardrail, so why don't you go down and look for the location of the fifteenth body?"

When the old policeman heard Cheng Ji's words, he laughed as if he had heard a joke. He put his hands on his hips and sneered, "We have checked the yard inside and out in the past few days. There is no such thing as a fifteenth body."

"In my opinion, this is not the case at all. The arsonist must have escaped, and you can't find him, so you have been here with us, Moji."

Cheng Ji didn't say anything. He walked to a position where his view was not blocked by branches and he could see below. He could see a dry well covered with wooden boards and sealing stones just below where the footprint disappeared.

The boy withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace.

It seems that this matter is really interesting.
