I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 4 appears, the materialist warrior in the horror film
It was impossible for Su Fan to feel nothing.

This is exactly what he wants.

He breathed steadily and powerfully, and the Qi he cultivated circulated in his body, dispelling the evil aura from the outside that tried to invade.

Although seemingly calm, they were actually ready to turn around and fight back!

"Stop it, boy!"

Suddenly, a clear and loud voice broke the eerie silence.

At this moment, everything seems to come alive again.

The wave of sound that had receded before came rushing back again.

Jamie took a deep breath, feeling his heartbeat still unable to calm down.

Su Fan frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy.

The two turned around and saw a figure standing at the door.

The latter wore a hat, a trench coat and a thick beard, a classic detective image.

"Are you trying to destroy crucial evidence?"

"This is a crime scene cordoned off by the police."

The detective was talking about, of course, the ventriloquist puppet Billy in his hand.

Su Fan didn't say much, but felt regretful in his heart.

Mary Shaw's possession was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the detective.

It is estimated that it will not appear in the short term.

Seeing that Su Fan and Jamie didn't say anything, the detective on the opposite side became more certain of his speculation.

Lisa was indeed murdered by this guy.

The Asian guy next to him is probably his accomplice!
Su Fan took a look at the other person's eyes and roughly understood what the other person was thinking.

“You’re treating me like a murderer.”

There are always a few staunch materialists in horror movies, and they are the kind that won’t cry until they see the coffin.

That's what this detective is like.

From the beginning to the end, he regarded Jamie's words as the criminal's excuse. In his opinion, the story of a ventriloquist doll killing people was simply nonsense.

Although after meeting Mary Shaw in the end, he realized that all this was not false, and fought together with Jamie.

But in the end he couldn't escape the fate of being killed.

"Listen up, kid. I now suspect that you are involved in the murder that happened here. Come with me."

The detective took out his ID, but Su Fan walked past him without even looking at it.

The detective was annoyed by the latter's attitude of turning a blind eye.

He stretched out his hand and blocked Su Fan's way.

"stop!"

"Listen, Asian boy, I don't care where you come from. I can take you back to the police station for investigation anytime I want."

"What you did with this kid can't be hidden from me!"

Su Fan chuckled when he heard this.

"I have a solid alibi, but what about you? What do you have?"

"I know you want me to go through the process, but I'm just a casual shop owner."

"A delay of one or two days is not a problem."

"New York police are more skilled at intimidation. As for you, forget it, detective."

The fluent English and confident tone made the detective look a little embarrassed.

He thought the other party was an Asian immigrant who didn't know the law and would be exposed if he threatened him.

I didn't expect that my little trick would be exposed by the other party on the spot.

"Humph... But it is a fact that you entered the crime scene without permission and destroyed evidence."

The detective was right.

In the United States, ordinary patrol officers have full law enforcement powers, not to mention higher-level detectives.

Hearing this, Jamie became anxious.

He also had to bury his wife, investigate the cause of her death, and look for clues about Mary Shaw. How could he be tripped up here?

In a hurry, he told the detective the general situation.

"Su Ta has nothing to do with this matter... If you don't believe it, you can just follow us to investigate."

As Jamie spoke, the detective showed no sign of concealing his impatience.

Obviously, he didn't believe a word of the horror nursery rhymes and evil spirits mentioned by the former.

But the fact that he could monitor everything with him made him somewhat interested.

"If you don't want to lose your life, just wait here."

Su Fan suddenly warned.

He was not exaggerating. Anyone who had anything to do with the Jamie family would become Mary Shaw's target. This was a friendly reminder.

But when the detective heard this, he immediately became interested.

He approached Su Fan, looked down at him, and spoke in a low voice.

"I've seen too many liars like you. Listen, don't think you can scare me with your ghost tricks."

"I'll expose your tricks, just wait and see."

Su Fan didn't say much, just smiled.

Good words can't persuade a damn ghost.

That’s all I have to say. May you have good luck.

……

After an unpleasant negotiation, the three of them went to Jamie's hometown together.

The vehicle carrying the three people drove away from the bustling city, passed the highway, and gradually approached the small town on the edge.

When crossing the bridge connecting the town and the outside world, Su Fan looked up, and his gaze left Daozang and turned to the outside.

The dark clouds in the sky blocked the sunlight, and the bridge seemed to divide the town and the outside world into two worlds.

As the road changed, Jamie's driving speed gradually slowed down.

The town in front of the three people was more like a ghost town than a town.

Nine out of ten houses are empty, with abandoned shops and broken benches.

Under the gloomy sky after the heavy rain, the streets were covered with fallen leaves.

In such a big place, there were hardly any people walking on the road.

"This place... Oh my god..."

Although the detective was a materialist, he still felt uncomfortable seeing such a desolate and lifeless place.

Jamie looked incredulous.

Ravensfell was not the same as when he left. It was far from the hometown he remembered.

The only calm one among the three was Su Fan.

He knew that the town had always been shrouded in the shadow of Mary Shaw.

The residents living here either lost their entire families or were forced to leave their homes.

It is a miracle that people still live here today.

"I'm going home now."

Jamie suddenly spoke up when he saw the scene in the town.

"My father might know something about Mary Shaw."

Jamie's face looked a little unnatural when he mentioned his father.

The detective didn't think there was anything wrong, but Su Fan, who knew the inside story, didn't think so.

Jamie's family is a typical small town aristocracy.

But his childhood was not happy because his father was a bastard who abused his wife.

Jamie's mother was forced to death by him.

After that, Lao Deng married another woman, but he did not change his bad habits, which made his second wife unable to bear it and she ran away.

Jamie had no respect for such a father.

I guess if he didn't want to find someone who knew the truth, he wouldn't even want to look at that guy.

"Would you like to come along, Sue?"

"I'm not going."

Su Fan has no interest in getting involved.

He also wanted to continue walking around this small town.

As for the detective, he will definitely follow Jamie, the number one suspect.

As we all know, the first principle of horror movies is that you cannot act alone without a team.

But Su Fan did the opposite.

"where are you going?"

Jamie asked.

Although Su Fan did not do anything from beginning to end, the calmness and attentiveness he showed in the previous conversation gave people a considerable sense of security.

What's more, the other party seems to have psychic abilities.

Now that the key player in the team is leaving, of course he is anxious.

"I'm going to town to gather some information."

"Meet at a motel outside of town in the evening."

Su Fan gave a brief explanation and turned to leave.
