The "haunting" incident at Mr. Li's home did not bring about a lasting calm. A series of similar "strange occurrences" in the suburban villa area caught the attention of the police.
These cases shared several commonalities: bizarre home furnishings, inexplicable phenomena, and the residents' deteriorating mental states.
Suspecting that someone was playing tricks to instill fear, the police dispatched a team of capable officers to investigate, including the young and efficient officer, Ye Qiu.
With her sharp short hair and keen eyes, Ye Qiu was known for her decisive actions. She scoffed at concepts like "feng shui" and "divination," dismissing them as remnants of feudal superstition.
However, when she investigated Mr. Li's home, she found that things were not so simple. The Li family’s mental state had noticeably improved, and their home had returned to its former tranquility—all thanks to a young man named Su Mu.
Ye Qiu approached Su Mu directly, expressing her suspicions: "Su Mu, we received a report stating that the Li family claims their home is 'haunted.' What have you done since you arrived here?"
Su Mu calmly replied, "Mr. Li's house is not haunted; rather, there was an issue with the feng shui layout that disrupted the home's energy field, affecting the family's physical and mental health. Based on the records in the 'Tianji Medical Compendium,' I adjusted their feng shui and prescribed some remedies for their health. They have now returned to normal."
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, skepticism evident in her gaze. "Feng shui? 'Tianji Medical Compendium'? Are you trying to talk to me about metaphysics?"
Su Mu smiled faintly. "Feng shui is not metaphysics; it is a summary and application of ancient wisdom regarding natural and living environments. It shares common ground with modern science. As for the 'Tianji Medical Compendium,' it encompasses not only medical practices but also knowledge of feng shui and divination."
As he spoke, Su Mu took out an ancient thread-bound book from his bag—it was indeed the 'Tianji Medical Compendium.' He opened it to a page filled with intricate diagrams and text, pointing out, "Look here; this records the relationship between house layouts and human health. Different layouts can affect various organs and meridians in the body..."
Ye Qiu gazed at the incomprehensible text and diagrams before her. Though still skeptical, Su Mu's confidence and composure began to sway her perspective. She decided to visit Mr. Li's home personally.
At Mr. Li's residence, Ye Qiu meticulously observed the house's layout and asked about the family's experiences. The Li family expressed their gratitude towards Su Mu profusely; their firsthand experiences of change compelled Ye Qiu to reconsider her views.
After leaving Mr. Li's house, Ye Qiu fell into deep thought. Although she still couldn't fully grasp what Su Mu meant by "feng shui" and "medical records," she sensed that this young man seemed to possess a power she did not understand. She had a vague feeling that Su Mu might truly help her unravel the mysteries behind the other "haunting" cases.
"Su Mu," Ye Qiu said, her tone less skeptical and more inquisitive, "can you investigate the other cases like you did with Mr. Li's house, step by step?"
Su Mu looked at Ye Qiu, a glimmer of profound insight flashing in his eyes. "Perhaps, but each case is different. I need to see them in person to be sure."
Thus, Su Mu and Ye Qiu—one well-versed in ancient medical practices and feng shui, the other adhering to modern scientific principles of criminal investigation—began their first collaboration due to these bizarre "haunting" incidents.
In the following days, Su Mu accompanied Ye Qiu as they visited several other families in the suburban villa area that had reported "strange occurrences." Each situation varied, but like Mr. Li's house, they all exhibited perplexing phenomena.
One household claimed they could hear a baby's cries every night, yet there was no baby in the house, and a thorough search yielded no clues. Su Mu discovered that directly beneath the master bedroom lay an abandoned underground water pipe that had been leaking for years, causing an accumulation of negative energy that produced sounds resembling a baby's cries.
Another family reported that their electrical appliances frequently malfunctioned without reason and even caught fire. After inspecting the situation, Su Mu found serious issues with the home's electrical layout; aging wires combined with the influence of nearby high-voltage power towers created electromagnetic disturbances that led to the appliances' erratic behavior.
In yet another home, mysterious bloodstains appeared on the walls every night, impossible to wipe away, sending chills down one's spine.
After using a special solution to clean the stains, Su Mu discovered they were not human blood but rather a unique mineral that took on a blood-like color under certain lighting conditions. This mineral seeped from the wall's paint, which traced back to the same building materials company.
Using the knowledge recorded in the Tianji Medical Records and his keen observational skills and reasoning abilities, Su Mu unraveled these seemingly "haunted" events one by one. Ye Qiu watched from the side, her initial skepticism gradually transforming into admiration.
She began to realize that Su Mu was not a charlatan but someone with genuine special abilities.
However, as their investigation deepened, Su Mu discovered that these incidents were not isolated; there seemed to be a subtle connection among them. All these families had used products from the same building materials company, which appeared to conceal an even greater secret…
"These events are too coincidental," Su Mu said to Ye Qiu. "I suspect someone is deliberately creating these 'strange occurrences.'"
"Are you saying someone is playing tricks?" Ye Qiu asked.
"I can't rule out that possibility," Su Mu pondered. "But it could also be that someone is using feng shui and some special materials to create these phenomena, with the intention of..."
Su Mu did not continue, as a bold guess suddenly formed in his mind. However, this speculation was too far-fetched; he needed more evidence to confirm it.
"What is it?" Ye Qiu pressed.
Su Mu looked at Ye Qiu, a serious glint in his eyes. "I suspect they might be conducting some kind of experiment..."
"An experiment?" Ye Qiu was even more puzzled. "What kind of experiment?"
Su Mu did not answer but instead gazed into the distance, his eyes deep and distant. The suburban villa area was shrouded in mist, as if hiding countless secrets, waiting for them to uncover...
