Chapter 23 Hallucinogenic Incense, Cursed Totem
For a moment, Karl’s eyes kept wandering between Su Fan who was unhandcuffed and the police detective.
Obviously speculating on the relationship between the two.
Not only him, but also many policemen who saw the clues also started whispering.
"The detective is so angry...Who is that Asian?"
"I don't know, he doesn't look like he's from Japan or Korea, he should be Chinese."
"Hey, regardless of his identity, I feel like the detective wants to use this to punish Johnny."
"If the daily patrol tasks are not completed, the case will be filed. There is no police case to be filed, and the reason for bringing the person back is to be lazy and come back early. Do you think it’s strange that the detective is angry?”
The other police officers talked in low voices, and snickered from time to time. , causing Johnny's face to gradually turn red.
But now he really doesn't dare to say anything.
According to the current attitude of the police detective, he can really make him pack up and leave.
He could only lower his head and listen to the police detective above him yelling like a barrage of curses.
As the person involved, Su Fan remained calm.
This kind of little character who bullies the weak and fears the strong will not have any sense of accomplishment even after being taught a lesson.
Seeing that Su Fan had no intention of continuing to embarrass Johnny, the police detective stopped scolding him when he was tired of scolding him.
"Go back and suspend your duties for a week to reflect, and then come back after thinking clearly."
"Karl, come here."
After such a punishment, he and Su Fan Walk towards the office.
Johnny was left standing alone with an ugly expression on his face.
He will be disgraced today and will become the laughing stock of the entire police station.
——
In the office.
After inviting the two to sit down, the police detective spoke.
"Karl, please explain the situation in detail without leaving out any details."
After listening to Karl carefully explain the cause and effect, the police detective almost understood the twists and turns. Around.
The latter glanced at Karl and then at Su Fan, his eyes full of inquiry.
Su Fan knew that he was worried about other people being present, so he nodded.
"It's okay Detective."
"Tell him."
Carl looked confused until he heard the detective reveal Esther's true identity .
"I knew that woman was not normal."
Carl recalled the process of contact with Esther, as well as the other's demeanor and movements at that time, and felt a chill.
“It’s disgusting that you are still pretending to be a little girl in your thirties.”
“Are we going to arrest each other now? Detective?”
“Now It’s not time yet…”
The detective replied.
“Why?”
Karl couldn’t help but ask.
Although they are not tall, the muscles and bones of adults are not at the same level as those of children.
That Lina is another cruel and perverted murderer. If she suddenly attacks, the lives of the Coleman family may be in danger.
"Lina, that is, there is another group of people behind Esther. If they are arrested now, they will alert the snake."
The police detective said.
“Furthermore, the other party is not a simple character, so I invited Su Fan.”
“He is an expert in dealing with such people.”
Karl Wen Yan suddenly realized.
I see, no wonder the detective was so polite to this man, he turned out to be the commissioner.
"Karl, did you say before that John Coleman is in a very strange state, that Lina believes whatever she says and is very protective of her, right?"
Su Wherever asked.
"That's it...what's wrong?"
"I suspect that he has been cast under the spell of voodoo."
"Voodoo? Isn't that something black people do? No, is that stuff real?"
The detective was stunned. This was the first time he heard Su Fan mention the word voodoo, but this How could Karl know? Maybe he is also involved in occultism.
Feeling the detective’s doubts, Karl also explained openly.
The latter grew up in a poor community in Los Angeles, where people were mixed, so he also knew some folklore and anecdotes about black people. "Just because you don't understand many things in this world doesn't mean they don't exist."
Su Fan tapped the armrest of the seat with his index finger.
"You will see the relevant evidence soon, but please follow me back to the Avenue of Stars."
Hearing this, the detective and Karl looked at each other and stood up immediately.
The three of them drove all the way and soon arrived at the antique store.
The shops on both sides were very busy, but no one stopped in front of Su Fan's store.
The latter didn't care about that, but took out the key and opened the door.
Several people filed in. As soon as they entered, the detective and Karl felt dizzy, and then the scene in front of them blurred for a moment.
But it soon returned to normal.
The two of them just thought that the smell of incense in the room was too strong and didn't think there was anything wrong, but Su Fan frowned.
He smelled the incense in the air carefully and distinguished another smell from it.
This fragrance is so subtle that ordinary people cannot tell it apart.
But after practicing, Su Fan's perception improved several times compared with ordinary people. After searching carefully, he quickly discovered the source of the strange fragrance
"You all underestimated Lin Na's viciousness."
"Her real purpose is not to frame me and put me in jail, but to drive me away from this antique store."
"I will not leave. How could she have the chance to do anything here?”
As Su Fan said this, he picked up the broom and swept out a section of dead grass that was still burning from under the display stand.
“What is this?”
The police detective was curious and wanted to go up and take a closer look.
"Did you feel a little dizzy when you just came in?"
The detective and Karl nodded subconsciously.
“This is a highly hallucinogenic tobacco.”
Su Fan explained in an understatement while extinguishing the withered grass.
"If you inhale a small amount, you will fall into a coma. If you ingest it for a long time, you will probably die directly."
"But what she really used as a means of killing was not this..."
The police detective who was always paying attention to Su Fan saw that the former's eyes were emitting a faint fluorescent light, which was breathtaking.
Su Fan's eyes swept across the entire antique store, and finally stopped at the counter.
In Su Fan's field of vision, wisps of black mist were emerging from under the counter.
The former took a step forward and saw a strange pattern in an inconspicuous corner underneath the counter.
Two snakes entwined the human figure in the middle, biting the neck of the figure, and a drop of blood flowed from the mouth of the figure, lifelike, terrifying and evil.
Karl and the detective followed up and looked at it for a long time before they noticed the totem.
The counter itself is black, and the totem is also painted with black and red paint. You may not be able to spot it if you don’t look carefully.
"There is a strong curse aura exuding from it. Once activated, it can drain people's life force. People sitting nearby will soon have their lifespan exhausted, and eventually their body functions will decline and die."< br>
Hearing this, the expressions of Karl and the detective changed drastically.
Karl was okay and just felt unlucky, but the detective knew that what Su Fan said could not be a lie and immediately took a big step back.
“This kind of curse is actually easy to solve. As long as it is not directly contacted, it can be erased. Therefore, most casters will do it very covertly, such as painting it on the ground covered by furniture. .”
"But the person who cast the curse this time was probably very confident because of tobacco, so he painted it directly on the counter."
Su Fan said as he took out the incense ashes from the incense burner on one side. Sprinkle it on it, and then use a rag to wipe off the weird patterns.
“Who did this?”
Karl’s face was solemn.
"There is a camera in the store, just take a look and you will know."
Su Fan said calmly.
"Wait a minute, there is surveillance? Then why didn't you take it out then?"
Karl was stunned.
Only when Su Fan looked at him like a fool did he realize how stupid his question was.
No matter whether he has evidence to prove his innocence or not, Johnny will take him away by force. Taking it out at that time will make no sense.
Su Fan took out an old-fashioned DV hidden in a hidden corner and handed it to the police detective.
The latter immediately started looking through the previous records.
A sneaky figure soon appeared on the screen. The police detective took a closer look and found that it was undoubtedly Esther!
“For most people, no evidence is needed, and suspicion means guilt.”
“The reason why I was taken to the police station will soon be known. , a social death with a bad reputation. "
"People will not be interested in the cause of death of a pedophile, they will only think that he died well, and the police investigation will end badly. "
