Chapter 1333: Strangely cold (2)
However, the pit was where the children who went deep in the forest returned. It wasn't where the children were killed thus there wasn't much difference in the pit than the infirmary.
Wu Jin's gaze swept the pit and the area surrounding it a few times, however, he couldn't see anything. This case was related to the supernatural, and even if he were to try and find a clue, it was impossible for Wu Ji. His sharp eyes could not detect anything in the forest, he could only look at Song Yan who was observing everything very seriously.
Captain Lei and the rest also cracked open many cases but this time around they were simply helpless as there was not even the slightest clue that would explain what was going on. Were all the children suicidal or what? If not why would they delve deeper into the forest despite knowing that there were wolves in these woods?
But it did not seem to make sense, after all, how could all the children be suicidal?
If they all went to the deep forest and died one after another, Yan Shan could only think of them being brainwashed by a cult or something of the sort.
He said to Wu Jin, "I think it's better if we take a look at the relationship history of these kids including where they went and with whom they met. It seems a bit weird that they all ignored the warning and came to this forest despite knowing that it was dangerous."
There were all sorts of cults that worshipped the demons and then brainwashed the kids into doing stupid things such as praying to the devil and then sacrificing their lives. Who knows maybe these children got into contact with one such cult member?
When others heard Yan Shan's words, they agreed with what he said. It did seem like the work of a cult rather than suicidal thoughts and depression.
Professor, He knew what they were thinking and said, "I know what you are thinking but I assure you that I have visited the houses of the children who went back home after returning from the deeper parts of the forest."
"They were all optimistic and enthusiastic children about their academic performance. These kids were smart and none of them was a poor student. Their grades were at the top of the city, and all of their family background were really good. I don't think that they would do anything to let their family down." After a pause, Professor He added, "They all also submitted forms with their desired college names. They all were going to get into the top university after passing their high school exams."
"I don't think that dying was on their minds."
Song Yan then asked Professor He, "Where did you find the children?"
Professor He pointed at the far end of the pit with a pale face and said "We found them lying there."
Song Yan nodded as she slid down the pit. The men watched her slide down the pit and followed, as they were in charge of this case it would not look well for them if they were to stay behind while a woman went inside the pit and took a look at the crime scene.
Song Yan walked over with the rest of the group and they examined the spot where the kids were found very seriously. While the four men did not find anything, Song Yan found a vein of grudge field. Her eyes narrowed as she stared at the misty black vein that led inside the forest. It was quite clear that the main grudge field was inside the forest.
"Yanli," Song Yan called out as the female ghost appeared out of the ring that she wore on her finger. Fang Yanli glanced at Song Yan and then turned to look at the forest where the grudge vein was lurking, "I will go and take a look. You stay here."
Song Yan nodded and watched Fang Yanli leave.
At that moment, Wu Jin walked over to Song Yan and questioned in a soft voice, "Did you see something, sister-in-law?"
"I did but this is not the time to talk about it," Song Yan answered Wu Jin as she stared at the spot where the grudge vein was popping out from. She had a feeling about what happened in this pit and why the children couldn't run past this spot.
It was a really strange answer. Captain Lei and the others did not believe in superstitions but seeing Song Yan stare at the same spot with a frown on her face made them a bit terrified. They did not want to be superstitious but, now they were scared by that gaze!
They looked at the spot where Song Yan was staring but they couldn't find anything strange there.
Besides how could a small spot on the ground cause the children to die?
Yun Yi could not help but sigh, "She had been brainwashed thoroughly and she is doing the same thing to Deputy Chief Wu. Who knows what would happen now?" He then turned to look at Wu Jin and said to him, "Deputy Chief, I think we should go back, there is no need for you to bother Madam Song." Even though he did not say anything directly, anyone could see that he was looking down on Song Yan.
However, no sooner did he finish speaking Captain Lei tugged his collar and buttoned it up before saying, "Why is this place so cold? Do you guys not feel a sort of chill? Or is my uniform faded?"
He turned to look at the sky of the summer and couldn't help but frown. Why was this place strangely cold?
