Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Little Fatty Girl’s Sense of Urgency

Deep into the night, two police cars entered Chongyun Village, drawing the attention of those who were still awake, including Liu Zhengyi who was “on duty” at the construction site.

He contacted Liu Caifu immediately, sent a WeChat message to Xiang Kun, then woke up his younger brother who was playing on his phone in the room to watch the construction site for him while he followed the direction the police cars had gone, on his electric scooter.

In a small village like Chongyun, most people knew each other, or even were relatives. It was certainly a big deal if the police were needed.

Liu Zhengyi, riding his electric scooter, found that the two police cars drove straight through the village and went outside the village, leaving him puzzled. Could it be that another fugitive had slipped into Chongyun Mountain, prompting the police to search overnight? But if that was the case, they wouldn’t send so few officers.

Soon, Liu Zhengyi realized he was wrong. The two police cars circled on the unpaved road outside the village and then turned back, heading towards a few construction sites in the southeast of the village.

He then realized that the police must have taken a wrong turn…

Seeing the police cars go into a pitch-black construction site, Liu Zhengyi was puzzled. He distinctly remembered that the site was where Zhu Lao Ba was developing a factory. Due to some issues with procedure, the project had stopped, and an old man had stayed behind to guard the construction materials. What could have possibly happened there?

By the time Liu Zhengyi reached the entrance of the construction site on his scooter, Liu Caifu had also arrive on his own scooter, asking in confusion, “What’s happening?”

“I have no idea…” Liu Zhengyi shook his head.

So the two of them sat on their scooters, puzzled, watching the officers getting out of the police cars and inspecting a small Wuling truck filled with various materials in the middle of the construction site.

Under the light of the officers’ flashlights and the headlights of the police cars, Liu Zhengyi and Liu Caifu were shocked to see that the small truck – from the windshield to the body – was covered with bird droppings. The bird droppings were concentrated on and around the truck, making for a shocking sight. And through the bird-dropping-covered windshield, they could see two people sitting in the car.

The two people, upon seeing the police, quickly jumped down from the car, “We called the police, it was us, we want to surrender.”

Liu Caifu was surprised, “What on earth are you two doing, Pig Tail and Liu Er Tong?” Before he could finish his words, he realized from the scene that they had come here to steal. Angrily he yelled, “You two rascals, you even steal from your own village?”

Liu Zhengyi also yelled, “You pieces of crap stealing from your own people, pathetic!”

The two men known as “Pig Tail” and “Liu Er Tong” couldn’t fight back, and under the police’s questioning, they confessed to their theft, and the reason they had decided to surrender.

Thus, dozens of minutes later, when the two suspects were taken back to town by the police, news of their encounter with “ghosts” at the construction site had spread throughout the village.

Many of the village’s young people, who were still awake and had noticed the police cars entering the village, immediately began to gossip about it in the village’s WeChat group, and went to watch the excitement. Some older people who had been awakened by the commotion also complained about the noise, but still got dressed to go see the “haunted” construction site for themselves.

So, in the middle of the night, what was once a quiet construction site on the outskirts of the village suddenly became bustling, with a large number of electric scooters parked around, and people holding flashlights and emergency lights inspecting the area and sharing their gossip excitedly.

Pictures of the bird-dropping-covered truck quickly spread around the WeChat Moment.

Meanwhile, Liu Zhengyi and Liu Caifu were at Xiang Kun’s house, discussing with him and others what they had seen at the construction site, along with a brief summary of the thieves’ confession to the police on the scene.

Of course, Xiang Kun was already well aware of this situation.

From the details of Alice and Jinshanshan using the “Super Sensory Item System” to deal with the two thieves, Xiang Kun was fully aware of what measures they had taken and what exactly they had done.

Xiang Kun had deliberately allowed Alice to formulate plans according to her own ideas within the controllable range of Chongyun Village, to see how she would handle the situation.

From the final result, Xiang Kun was quite satisfied with Alice’s methods. Clearly, she had learned from him, operating fully in line with his “guiding philosophy”.

The overall process was: stop the crime >> prevent the suspects from escaping >> notify the police >> hide your achievements and name.

Moreover, she accurately understood how to create a creepy atmosphere and how to scare people.

Even though she could no longer use “emotionally charged objects” to project emotions from a distance, or create a projection of the “Eight-armed, Eight-eyed Woodcarving” to intimidate targets without Xiao Pingguo’s help, she had her own ways of creating an atmosphere and impacting targets mentally and emotionally.

The bird dropping “air raid”, however, was not her arrangement, but was Jinshanshan’s unrestricted revenge, after hearing the two suspects plotting against it.

Of course, objectively speaking, Jinshanshan could be said to have greatly helped Alice, perfecting her plan and better concealing the various anomalies she had created.

Now in the courtyard, Liu Caifu and Liu Zhengyi firmly believed that the claim made by “Pig Tail” and “Liu Er Tong” that they saw a little girl ghost was all nonsense. They were most likely scared by a flock of birds that suddenly appeared and under the dim light, mistook the shadows of the birds for a little girl.

From the tone of the officers who questioned the two men on the site, the police probably had the same opinion.

As for why the birds acted this way, it could be that their roosting place was nearby and they were irritated by the noise the thieves made while stealing.

Xiang Kun knew from the auditory information he had collected that at this time, some older villagers believed in what the two suspects said they saw, reasoning that “if they hadn’t really seen something terrifying, why would they choose to stay and call the police instead of running away?”

But the younger generation scoffed at their claims, believing that “Pig Tail” and “Liu Er Tong” had merely been scared by the flock of birds, and were too embarrassed to tell the police that they were scared by birds, so they had to concoct the story of the “little girl ghost” to make themselves appear less cowardly.

After all, to the young generation of this era, the “ghost” is not something to be afraid of. If they really saw a ghost, they would consider it fortune — by filming a few paranormal short videos, they might go viral. If that happened, live streaming, short videos, and offline ghost sighting activities would be sure to make them money.
