As the case continued to be investigated, it was gradually discovered that except for Tan Wan and Han Beiya, the rest of the people had more or less disputes and relationships with the deceased.
Xie Mowen, a popular suspense writer, participated in Gubayan's spiritual summoning ceremony for the first time last year. After the ceremony, he exposed Gubayan's use of props to create a weird atmosphere and threatened to make the matter public.
Later, Gubayan gave the writer a large amount of hush money and encouraged him to cooperate with her in the uncle's mansion.
Xie Mowen said that he helped the psychic so that his novel could become popular. This was just one of them. The more important thing was that he received money from Cubayan to help her complete the 'performance' in the subsequent ceremony.
After hearing Li Dongliao say that he had received money from the psychic, Xie Mowen's face instantly became angry: "I didn't receive any money from her!"
He clasped his hands on his chest, leaned on the sofa in the mansion and crossed his legs, his tone quite dissatisfied.
"This woman is a charlatan. Before she came here, she lied to me that she would transfer the money to me after the morning ceremony at Bo's Mansion. However, she said she would transfer it later. I don't think she had any intention of paying."
Tanwan heard the conversation between Li Dongliao and Xie Mowen, and remembered seeing the psychic assistant in Xie Mowen's room at noon.
No wonder, it turned out that they were talking about this matter at that time.
Li Dongliao's expression remained unchanged and he pressed forward step by step: "So you felt that you were tricked by the deceased, so you got angry and killed her, right?"
Xie Mowen's face was stunned for a second, and he quickly retorted: "Mr. Police Officer, you must be careful what you say, I have never killed anyone."
"You said you wrote suspense novels, and I have read your books." Li Dongliao rummaged through his works on his phone, "They are all about reasoning and solving crimes. You should know a lot about murder techniques, right?"
"I understand, but..." Xie Mowen was very speechless. He pointed at the others, "Then I have tens of thousands of readers and fans, and they are all familiar with killing techniques. Do they also? Did you kill someone?"
"Mr. Xie, don't get excited. I'm just asking as usual." Li Dongliao sighed and glanced in the direction of Tan Wan.
In the past, Tan Wan was responsible for this kind of on-site interrogation. He was just beside her to record the details of the interrogation. He was afraid of encountering an emotional suspect. He was really afraid of what would happen.
Unfortunately, the negotiation team was also involved in this case, so she could not intervene in the investigation to avoid suspicion.
Li Dongliao now felt that he was as big as two heads and two heads, so he bit the bullet and continued to investigate the case.
"Can you please recall what you were doing when the deceased fell?"
"The light bulb suddenly went dark. I thought it was part of the ceremony design, so I sat quietly in my chair and didn't move." Xie Mowen shrugged and continued, "As far as the situation was concerned, , no one should leave their chairs~"
Li Dongliao didn't understand: "Why?"
"Because the medium said, in order to prevent accidents during the ceremony, you can't make any noise or leave your place during the ceremony, and you can't touch the body of the medium. We all know that it is possessed by spirits. If you violate the taboo and get possessed by a ghost, That’s bad.”
Xie Mowen pointed at Luo Xin who was standing in the corner, "If you don't believe it, you can ask him. He is the assistant of the spiritual matchmaker."
Li Dongliao asked again: "But Mr. Xie, do you still believe in the idea of being possessed by ghosts after knowing that all this is false?"
"I knew it was a lie." Xie Mowen cast his gaze in the direction of Tan Wan and said thoughtfully, "But after the lady saw the ghost, I couldn't tell whether it was really a ghost."
Li Dongliao followed Xie Mowen's gaze and looked at Tan Wan with a shocked look on his face: "Why, have you seen a ghost? Is it true or not?"
"I saw Shen Ru running past me." Tan Wan explained calmly and calmly.
Before he finished speaking, Xie Mowen interrupted: "Not only did Miss Tan see a ghost, but Mr. Shen also saw it. Oh no, he heard it, heard his daughter's voice!"
As soon as he said this, Xie Mowen recalled the situation at that time and felt creepy again.
Xie Mowen opened his eyes wide and expressed his thoughts with a dance: "Mr. Police Officer, it may be a hallucination for one person to see a ghost. It is impossible for two people to have hallucinations at the same time, right? The probability is too low!"
This was indeed strange, and Tan Wan realized something was wrong at that time.
It stands to reason that even if hallucinations occur, they usually only occur in people with weak minds who are easily shaken.
Mr. Shen missed his beloved daughter and had great trust in the spiritual medium. During the soul-calling ceremony, he became ill with longing and had hallucinations. He believed that it was possible for the spiritual medium to bring back his daughter's wronged soul.
Tan Wan was the one who didn't believe it the most. She had already seen through the psychic's deception, so why did she still see...
Suddenly something occurred to her: "...could there be something wrong with that glass of ghost-expelling water?"
As soon as she said this, Xie Mowen immediately understood what she meant and said in disbelief: "You don't mean to say that the crazy woman put medicine in that cup, do you?"
"It's not impossible." She immediately looked at her assistant Luo Xin, "What did you add to that glass of water?"
Luo Xin has been on the verge of mental collapse because of the death of the spiritual medium.
Now my son had to be questioned by the police again, and even his hands began to tremble unconsciously.
But he didn't dare to lie, so he could only tell the truth in the current situation.
"It's just...just a little hallucinogen...you will see some hallucinations after drinking it, which varies from person to person..." Luo Xin's voice became smaller and smaller, and something suddenly came to his mind. , and quickly added, "But it won't poison people, and the dose is very low."
It is a hallucinogenic ingredient extracted from flowers. It takes effect quickly and lasts for a short time.
This feature is in line with the requirements of a spiritual medium. It allows guests to see unrealistic supernatural events without designing any props. After the guests "see it as believe it", they will have no doubt about the spiritual medium's spiritual summoning ritual.
Li Dongliao sent the cup back to the police station for testing. Just as Luo Xin said, a small amount of hallucinogens were found in the remaining liquid at the bottom of the cup, proving that he was not lying.
So far, although Xie Mowen has not cleared up his suspicions, he has almost confessed.
The next one is Mr. Shen. After investigation, it was found that Shen Zhiren and the psychic had known each other two and a half years ago.
Shen Zhiren is interested in antiques and art, especially those with stories and souls. He believes that these things have spiritual energy and can bless his family and help his own career.
There are many big bosses in the antiques circle who believe this. Through many connections, someone introduced Gubayan to Shen Zhiren.
It is said that Gubayan is very good at fortune-telling and soul-telling. This woman can calculate her own disaster by pinching her fingers, and she can resolve it by spending a small sum of money.
But the first thing Gubayan said when he saw Shen Zhiren was: "Your family will be in great trouble."
