1PIAADITSB Chapter 12

Congratulations, task completion progress 1/10. You have received a phased task reward: Screening.
Screening: By touching the deceased’s brow, you can access what they saw and heard in the 10 seconds before their death. Usage limit: Only usable once within 24 hours.
A crisp chime echoed in Song Yang’s mind. Before his eyes, a panel appeared that only he could see.
He remained calm, pondering the panel.
‘1/10 progress, which means this case isn’t over yet.’
The killer’s exposure was too suspicious, and their death too casual. It seemed too simple.
But Wang Jie was indeed one of the killers.
Otherwise, his task wouldn’t have been completed by 1/10.
Since he received a reward, it means he was correct, the killer is Wang Jie, but not *only* Wang Jie.

In that instant, Song Yang’s scalp crawled.
Who is the real killer? What terrifying scheme are they brewing?
“Great, now that the killer has been found, this case can be closed,” Wei Zheng Rong declared. “Zhao Digang, I’ll leave the case closure to Yu Yang and me. Yu Yang, this case happened in my jurisdiction after all, so naturally, I should be involved in handling it.”
Yu Yang nodded, and Wei Zheng Rong continued, “Although the professor’s murder is a great loss for Kang County, life must go on. Meeting adjourned!”
Song Yang was interrupted by Wei Zheng Rong’s words, and following his train of thought, he involuntarily listened until the end. The investigators got up and left the room.
All afternoon, the items transported from the County Investigation Bureau were gradually removed. The desks of Song Yang and Yu Yang, which had been discarded, were somehow brought back.
After taking a short nap at his desk until the end of the afternoon shift, Song Yang got up and stretched. He happened to see Yu Yang returning from outside.
As he went to get water, he asked, “Team Leader Yu, is the cleanup finished?”
“Finished. I should have come along to learn, after all, sooner or later, I’ll have to learn how to handle these things,” Team Leader Yu said, patting his belly and sitting in his chair, closing his eyes to rest.
“Don’t mention it. You’re the team leader now, and I’m just a newbie. With you here, where would we small fries get a chance to shine?” Song Yang flattered with a smile.
Team Leader Yu grumbled good-naturedly, “Get lost, go play by yourself, I’m going to rest, this work is exhausting.”
Song Yang shrugged, no longer bothering him.
He didn’t ask how the aftermath of the professor’s case would be handled, but he could guess a little. Since the case was being handled by the County Investigation Bureau, the most their Qiaotingzi Community Investigation Bureau could do was have Team Leader Yu act as a witness.
As for the rest, they would just listen to what the County Investigation Bureau decided.
The soundstage became noisy. This was because the program staff were deliberately making a series of sounds in areas outside the camera’s view.
Turning up the volume on his computer, Song Yang replayed the video he hadn’t finished watching last time.
Recent television programs almost always involved ordinary people participating in the recordings. Before the professor finished speaking, various sounds echoed around the entire studio. These were deliberately produced by the staff.
“Hmm, isn’t that a little too profound? I don’t understand it at all!”
In the row of seated audience members, a young female celebrity named Da Mimi said this with a look of intoxication.
She was wearing a revealing sequined halter top, her milky white skin a dazzling sight, constantly attracting the attention of those around her.
Her statement alone caused all the staff to change their earlier style and let out exaggerated laughter.
As a child star, Da Mimi’s career hadn’t been going well in recent years, so in order to become popular again, she had to use this seemingly idiotic behavior to attract attention and earn screen time.
The female host therefore lightly shifted the topic towards her.
“I wonder if Miss Mimi has any thoughts on what the professor just said?”
“Thoughts? Don’t I always!” Da Mimi placed her hands on the table in front of her, emphasizing the prominence of her snowy cleavage.
But her expression was like that of a three-year-old child, contrasting sharply as she said, “However, I’m very curious, how does the professor protect that waist-length hair of his? I also seem to want to have such perfect hair like the professor!”
At this point, laughter erupted again from the staff.
The atmosphere in the entire studio seemed to become joyful at once, and the tense atmosphere from before disappeared.
Liu Xin, seeing this, immediately regained the right to speak and leaned his body towards Chen Feng at his side.
“Professor Chen, even if everything you’re saying is correct and souls really exist, then I want to know, how do they exist? Are you saying that after a person dies, the soul immediately runs out of the body? Is that right?”
Liu Xin’s tone became increasingly agitated and unrestrained.
“To put it more bluntly, professor, are you saying that ghosts really exist? Is it possible for those who have died to return to their families’ sides?”
The professor tried his best to remain calm, answering his question.
“In proving the existence of the soul, I’ve already made groundbreaking progress.”
Chen Feng took out his phone, opened his photo album, and found a photo. “Everyone, please look here, zoom in on the camera.”
[This is a photo of a temple. On the bright red door frame, the gilded plaque reads: Little Self-Sufficient Guanyin Bodhisattva Temple. A fair-skinned, chubby student who looks like a high schooler, is smiling brightly at the camera. Behind her is a faint statue of the Guanyin Bodhisattva.]
“This doesn’t seem to be anything special, professor?” The female host said with a smile, “What are you trying to show us?”
“Everyone, look closely here!”
The professor pointed to a certain spot and said, “Doesn’t it look like there’s a human face?”
Listening to the professor’s words, everyone focused again.
Sure enough, in the blurred photo, in the upper left corner of the boy, that is, in the hollow of the upper left corner of the door frame, there was a hideous human face.
“Whoa, is that real? It scared me to death, scared me to death!” Da Mimi pretended to be cute, leaning back, her trembling snow-white breasts bouncing up and down.
“Professor, this is obviously giving you guys a psychological suggestion,” Liu Xin said with disbelief on his face.
Song Yang paused the video in time, finding the photo that had been given a special close-up.
‘This photo, this girl, why does she look so familiar?’ Song Yang pondered.
Suddenly, he remembered.
Isn’t this girl Feng Zhizhi?
‘The professor’s daughter?’ He was a little confused and carefully confirmed again, even taking out the photo Mu Wanqing had given him and comparing them again.
It was indeed her.
— Feng Zhizhi.
‘What’s going on here?’ Song Yang frowned, pressed the space bar, and the video continued.
“Didn’t you ask me to prove it, Professor Liu Xin? I produce evidence and you say I’m lying to you? Is that your attitude towards science?” Chen Feng said, “If you have doubts, please provide evidence, instead of just saying I’m a liar without any proof.”
“As for the questions Professor Liu Xin just asked, I will answer them one by one.”
“In my research, the soul is hidden in the brain when a person is alive. When the heart stops beating, it is released outside the body.”
“But there is a time limit. After the soul leaves the body, it is exposed to the air and can only exist for 24 hours. Beyond that time, it will dissipate.”
“I call this phenomenon Astral Projection. During Astral Projection, the ghost is like being in another world. Unable to communicate with the world we live in.”
“Furthermore, souls are afraid of sunlight. As long as they are exposed to sunlight, they will dissipate.”
