Chapter 495
"I heard Fanzi mention just now that you’re a police officer?"
Old Sir Shen didn’t seem to care about the investigation results Xiang Xue Ting had mentioned and instead followed up with a question.
Xiang Xue Ting hadn’t had the chance to inquire about Old Sir Shen and Liang Laoshi’s identities and involuntarily glanced at Yang Fan.
Yang Fan understood and said, "These are Mr. Shen and Mr. Liang. They are the real experts. I’ve just started in the field; I’m just a newbie. The situation in your neighborhood is overly complicated, I had no choice but to call for backup."
"Is that so?" Xiang Xue Ting smiled awkwardly, a bit embarrassed, "Old Shen, yes, I’m a police officer."
"I need you to find a way to evacuate the residents of this community, is that possible?" Old Sir Shen asked.
Xiang Xue Ting was about to make tea but stopped upon hearing this, speaking with some difficulty, "Old Shen, this matter is indeed quite difficult. I need to file a report with my superiors, and there must be a very legitimate reason."
"If it’s to remove these evil spirits or something of the sort, this reason obviously won’t hold up."
"Whether or not it holds up, I’m afraid this has to be done. If we can’t evacuate the residents and we rashly take action, it will be like poking a hole in a balloon; the mysterious will explode instantly, and by then, I suppose few would survive," Mr. Shen stated solemnly.
"Alternatively, you could try reporting the neighborhood’s situation, like whether there’s anything in common among the people who have died in the last few years, and give a detailed description. Someone should come to handle this matter then, and we won’t need to exhaust ourselves over it."
"Is it that serious?" Xiang Xue Ting asked in surprise.
