Chapter 1521: Wrote a Suicide Note
It was a law-abiding society now. If they were caught in a murder scene, it would be very troublesome. Earlier, all she was thinking about was to kill Feng Yin. After all, the guy had been dead for a thousand years. If he was killed again, it wouldn’t matter.
But the same was not true for Song Ruoxi.
Ning Shu hadn’t expected Song Ruoxi to turn into a ghost and become an unkillable monster, so she had no choice but to kill her.
Song Ruoxi would grow stronger and stronger, and after losing Feng Yin, she’d retaliate with no restraints. They had to strike first to nip the problem in the bud.
The old man put down the medicine bowl and said, “You’re a suspect now.”
Ning Shu: …
Ning Shu felt like she shouldn’t have woken up; she should have just kept sleeping.
The old man said, “She didn’t die right away and wrote a suicide note saying that you killed her.”
Ning Shu: …
“It also stated that the company teamed up with you to bully her. Old Xie has a splitting headache due to this matter, and the note has hurt his company a lot.”
“When the police came looking for you before, I told them you couldn’t possibly be a murderer. How could you kill someone if you were unconscious after an accident?” The old man said irritably, “Master won’t let anything happen to you.”
Ning Shu sighed. Song Ruoxi must really hate her to the bone. Even after dying, she refused to let anyone off.
And she even wanted to bring down the Xie company; what an ungrateful person.
The company had given her a job and a paycheck to live on, and that was how she repaid the Xie family.
Presumably, she hated the Xie family for bringing in a Daoist priest and causing Feng Yin’s death.
Ning Shu felt a headache coming on.
“Don’t worry too much. The coroner’s assessment was that she’s been dead for months, and her body is already decomposing beyond recognition.” The old man reassured Ning Shu.
Song Ruoxi was originally half-human and half-ghost and relied on the Phantom King Core to stay alive. Without its support, her body would only decay rapidly, which was why the coroner stated that she had been dead for several months.
At that time, Ning Shu hadn’t even come to the Xie family.
When Ning Shu woke up, she was called away by the police and went through some interrogations.
The policeman asked Ning Shu, “What was the purpose of your visit to the Xie family and the company?”
Ning Shu reckoned that the police had already questioned the others and were now just cross-checking to see if she was lying.
“Xie Weiming’s son Xie Yiyuan was possessed by a ghost. I’m here to treat him,” said Ning Shu honestly.
“Possessed? In this day and age?” said the cop scornfully.
Ning Shu replied indifferently, “Who knows if it was possession? Maybe it was just psychological, so I exorcised him.”
Ning Shu sensed that the Yin energy of a government office like the police station was quite heavy. However, there was enough positive Yang energy and fortune of the nation to suppress it, leaving the place in a more balanced state.
The policemen looked at each other. After all, there was no direct evidence to prove that she had killed anyone. The policeman then took out the evidence bag containing the suicide note written by Song Ruoxi.
“The deceased, Song Ruoxi, said you killed her before she died,” said the policeman.
Ning Shu was a bit speechless. “If I killed her, how did she write the will and testament? Besides, she’s been dead for a few months and it also didn’t say why I killed her.”
“This suicide note can’t be used as evidence to charge me with murder,” said Ning Shu indifferently.
“There’s always a motive for the killing, right? Why would I want to kill her? What do I have to gain by killing her? I’m a Daoist, so I’m even less likely to be emotionally involved with her.”
So, the policemen were also left helpless. Ning Shu was indeed speaking the truth; they did not have enough evidence to press charges.
Even more, in a bizarre manner, the employees of the Xie company said that they had seen Song Ruoxi not long ago and that the company also had her attendance record.
