Chapter 1270: Visiting the Grim Reaper

Wu Jin turned to look at Song Yan after he was done ordering and then said to her, "First of all I would like to apologize to you sister-in-law. I called you in such a hurry without even giving you any prior notice."

"It\'s fine," Song Yan waved her hand as she did not take this matter to heart. The reason Wu Jin called her must be because of the corpse that was found outside the capital, the fact that it was only missing its brain and flesh was already weird enough but Song Yan\'s gaze which was sharper than most humans also noticed five sharp holes in the skull as if it had been pulled apart by a sharp claw.

This was enough to show her that this was not the work of a human but a malicious spirit. "Sister-in-law you must have already heard about the murder and the corpse that was found on the outskirts of the capital right? I will not hide it from you, this case has fallen into my hands and the higher-ups want me to solve it as soon as possible," Wu Jin relayed to Song Yan. He did not want to ask for help without relaying the fact that his benefits were closely attached to the case as it would be equivalent to hiding the truth from her.

He then told her, "Though my promotion and demotion are closely linked to the case, the reason I want to find the culprit behind this case is because I do not wish for anyone else to suffer just like the poor soul that was killed did. We still do not know what happened to the man who was killed, and where his flesh and brain was."

"The investigation report says that the man was killed because of sharp nails embedded in the head of the man--"

"It wasn\'t nails," Song Yan intervened as she shook her head. "The reports and the ones who examined the corpse would certainly bring up the scientific means to explain the death of that man but the things that were embedded in the head of that man...were not iron nails. It was a claw."

"If the examiner had paid attention to the length and the crack in the skull, then he would have noticed that the holes in the skull started from small before getting bigger. This is something that does not happen with iron nails and even if there were iron nails used, then —— did they find any residue of iron on the skull?"

She then paused and added, "And if you were to pay close attention to the eyes that were left inside the head... you will notice them popping out. Most likely the brain of that man was ripped out from his head when he was alive before he was skinned."

Song Yan sipped on the cold coffee that was served by the waitress while Wu Jin reeled in the information that she had given to him. So his doubt was correct? This murder was related to supernatural forces?

He shivered in the blazing hot summer heat, feeling cold sweat trickle down his spine. What kind of malicious spirit was it, for it to actually rip out the brain of a human when he was still alive?

"Sister-in-law, is...is there any spirit that rips the brain of humans?" Wu Jin questioned while his fingers clenched on his lap. He was really scared if such a terrifying spirit was roaming on the street then no one was going to be safe!

Song Yan swirled the straw in her glass before she nodded. She then thought of all those spirits that she had faced when she was a spirit herself and summarized her experience and thoughts, "There are indeed many spirits who like to rip the brain of a human out of their skull, one of the spirits however likes to eat the brain of humans. I guess this is one such case... however, there is a small problem if this case is related to one such spirit."

"W...what is the problem?" Wu Jin questioned feeling a sense of foreboding.

"Since this is a case related to the supernatural, I am afraid that you will have to submit a request to the Special Department for evidence and proof to be later handed to your department," Song Yan explained as she finished drinking her cold coffee and then sat down the glass on the table. "Because the criminal is not human, even if you were to catch the culprit it will prove nothing and your department heads will also use it to suppress you." Wu Jin understood what Song Yan was saying but how was he supposed to deal with this matter? Even if he were to submit the request to the Special Department, the higher-ups would make things difficult for him. They would blame him for spreading superstitious rumours. No one in the Police Department liked him, after all!

Song Yan could see the hesitation in Wu Jin\'s eyes thus she sighed and then snapped her fingers. A small purple flame ignited around her fingers as a black card appeared in between her fingers. She then pushed it to Wu Jin before saying, "This is the pass that I have to enter or exit the Special department. I will lend it to you, bring it along with you as well as the rest of the reports of the case, I am sure that the head of the Special Department would be willing to look into the case."

"Why would he?" Wu Jin questioned with a frown. Was there a need for the head of the department to even look into such a case?

Song Yan curled her lips in a sadistic smile as she said a few things to Wu Jin whose expression turned disbelieving.
