Chapter 119: Business For Sienna

From afar, Chen Zhao saw a few police carry a corpse out from a house surrounded by police tape.

Chen Zhao also saw a few familiar faces. The police seemed to be led by Melson again.

Melson also noticed Chen Zhao and walked towards him.

“Chen, how come you’re here? Do you know Leon?”

“Hi, Melson, I live in Mountain Town. Leon is the patrolman here. Do you want to sit down and have a drink with us?”

“I’m still working. Police can’t drink during working hours,” Melson said with a serious tone as he glanced at Leonardo.

Leonardo felt really awkward. Melson suddenly laughed and patted Leonardo’s shoulder. “Leon, I was just joking. Give me a glass.”

The atmosphere became much more relaxed. Melson was rather unreserved. After getting a glass, he downed the alcohol one mouthful.

“Amazing! The corpse has been in the room for over ten days before it’s discovered. It really stinks.”

“Hey, stop talking about it, or we wouldn’t be able to eat anything on this table anymore.”

“Mr. Melson, did that person commit suicide?” Leonardo asked curiously.

“No. Although we haven’t found any key evidence, I believe in my own deduction. That fugitive committed a very serious crime. This kind of person is very strong mentally. How could he quietly kill himself in a house he’s rented?”

Melson glanced at Chen Zhao. “Chen, you look unwell. Don’t tell me you’re involved in this case.”

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. “I’m just surprised by the crime rate here. I’ve only been here for three months and so many crimes have happened around me. I can’t imagine the same thing happening in China.”

“Is the crime rate in China very low?”

“At least I haven’t experienced any homicide cases around me, and also nobody’s ever pointed a gun at my head.”

“Someone pointed a gun at your head? Is it that female killer? By the way, did that female killer find you at all after the incident?”

“No.” Chen Zhao shook his head.

“You better be careful. That female killer is a criminal wanted by Interpol. Her file is thick enough to make a textbook.”

“I’ll, but if I meet her, I don’t think I can do anything. Hope that you can arrest her as soon as possible.”

Chen Zhao felt someone’s stare from the distance. He lifted his head and saw a woman near the police tape looking at him.

Chen Zhao recalled that woman as Gina, a forensic doctor.

Chen Zhao felt very uncomfortable being stared at by the woman. The first time they met, she seemed to be particularly interested in that female killer. He had no idea what their relationship was.

“Is Gerlyn not here today?”

“Haven’t you been contacting with her?” Melson glanced at Chen Zhao.

“Err… We normally wouldn’t ask about each other’s work,” Chen Zhao replied, slightly embarrassed.

Chen Zhao had been busy the last two days. He had to work from morning to night, and perhaps even at night.

“Gerlyn went to San Francisco.”

“Huh? Why did she go there?”

“She was moved there from the police station in San Francisco. Now there’s an old case she’s handled before, so she has to go back and help in the investigation,” Melson answered.

“How long will she be there?”

“I’m not sure. Maybe a month.”

…

“David, drive me to Ronan Park. Also, help me to carry these stuff onto the car.”

Since David consumed the strength potion, he had been becoming stronger and stronger. The two boxes before him felt just like two small bags.

“Sienna, why are you going to Ronan Park?”

“Work,” Sienna replied.

“Work? Did someone ask you for exorcism? Do you need my help? Or should we contact Chen?”

Sienna rolled her eyes. “Please, I’m going there to set up a booth. Also, while I may not be as powerful as Chen, I’m still a professional spiritualist. I can handle most situations by myself.”

“Huh? Booth?”

David was stunned. This was entirely different from the high-class spiritualists he had always imagined.

A proper spiritualist was actually going to set up a booth in a remote park.

After driving Sienna to Ronan Park, David helped her to build a small tent and ready the booth.

“Do you still need anything else? If not, I’ll go to the station.”

“Nope. You can leave now. A policeman standing beside me will really affect my business.”

There were very few people in the park in the morning. Sienna sat down under the tent, waiting for a customer.

Sienna shifted her booth every once a while. She could not stay in a crowded place, because it might cause her some trouble.

Just then, a lady walked towards her. Seeing the lady, Sienna was energized at once.

Today’s my lucky day! There’s already a customer.

The lady looked somewhat weak and pallid. The dark circles below her eyes were particularly serious.

“Are you a spiritualist?” The lady looked at the various items on the table, some of which she had never seen before. There was also an obvious crystal ball with a sign at the side. Spiritology, Exorcism, Divination.

“Yes, Ms., how may I help you?”

“Can you exorcize demons?” the lady suddenly asked softly.

“Err…”

Demons? There’s no demons in the world…

Anyway, Sienna had never seen a demon, or so she thought.

Sienna looked at the lady and then nodded, “Of course.”

The lady placed a mirror on the table. “The demon’s right inside. Help me to exorcize the demon in the mirror.”

Sienna picked the mirror up and inspected it carefully, but she did not find anything strange.

Nonetheless, there was no reason for her to reject the customer.

In fact, most people who wanted exorcism were only hysterical.

The lady before her was clearly also suffering from hysteria.

Of course, Sienna was not really concerned about such things.

The only real thing was the money she was about to get, so she said, “A hundred dollars.”

The lady took out bits and pieces of money from her pocket. She counted a hundred dollars and piled them before Sienna. “Here you are. Please help me to exorcize the demon now.”

“Of course.”

Taking out her magical phosphor, Sienna sprinkled it onto the mirror and chanted, “Oh evil existence, in the name of Satan, I command you to show your true form.”

Boom…

A colorful flame burst out from the magical phosphor. At the same time, there was a glimpse of an illusory figure before it disappeared.

This was Sienna’s old trick. She would often ask Yiberg to hide beside the magical phosphor. When the phosphor ignited, Yiberg would show up momentarily. This visual effect would make her customer believe in her more.

“Demon, prepare to die!”

With all her might, Sienna stabbed her implement onto the mirror. Following a clear crack, the mirror started to break apart.
