Chapter 130: Evil God Statue (Part 2)
But when he tried to call Park Guochang, he didn't expect such a calamity to occur.
"Please come with me."
Cui Yuanxi immediately led Sun Yan upstairs. Originally, she looked down on Sun Yan, this Mainland Exorcist.
But after Park Guochang taught her a lesson, Cui Yuanxi corrected her attitude.
Now with Park Guochang's unexpected death, she knew very well that this was definitely not an ordinary murder case. Placing hope on those police officers would be a waste of time, only trusting Sun Yan could resolve this.
Arriving on the second floor, a few white police officers were already investigating the crime scene inside.
Meanwhile, the nanny stood outside the door, being questioned by a female officer about the situation at the time.
Sun Yan followed Cui Yuanxi into the study and immediately opened his Celestial Eye to inspect.
"Are you saying the nanny heard the phone ring inside the study from outside at the time?"
"Yes, but the problem is when the bodyguards rushed in, the phone wasn't even connected to the line, the line had already been torn off."
Cui Yuanxi pointed at the corded phone on the desk, with a complex expression.
Having experienced this morning's exorcism ritual, she now believed that some kind of supernatural power must exist in the world.
So now, suspecting that maybe a supernatural power killed Park Guochang, she couldn't help but feel afraid.
What if she's next?
Sun Yan walked to Park Guochang's body, carefully examining the cause of death.
His neck was twisted 180 degrees and snapped, something that couldn't be done by an ordinary human force.
Through Sun Yan's Celestial Eye, he saw two very distinct black palm prints on Park Guochang's neck.
"Evil Spirit..." Sun Yan frowned, having found his target.
The Evil Spirit doesn't have the ability to kill by physical means, but the Evil Spirit can, breaking necks and directly crushing hearts through the chest are among the Evil Spirit's methods.
After Park Guochang's son got possessed, he himself was killed by the Evil Spirit.
Sun Yan was confused about whom Park Guochang had offended, could it really be that Ikegawa Family?
Soon, Park Guochang's body was put into a body bag and taken away by officers. His family would later claim the body at the police station.
Seeing the officers gradually leaving the study, Sun Yan then approached a bookshelf along the wall.
Cui Yuanxi and several bodyguards were puzzled, and then heard Sun Yan say, "Don't just stand there, come move this cabinet."
Through the Celestial Eye, Sun Yan noticed a wisp of Yin Energy behind this bookshelf the moment he entered the study, something was obviously wrong.
The officers made it inconvenient to investigate earlier, now is the chance to act.
As the bodyguards exerted force to move the bookshelf, a blank wall was revealed.
In the middle of the wall, there was actually a recessed closet, with a strangely shaped statue inside.
It had a double-headed human body, crimson skin, grasping a bull in its left hand and a pig in its right hand. Both animals showed signs of being chewed on all over.
Seeing this statue, Sun Yan's expression immediately turned unusual.
Only because surrounding this statue were more than a dozen oval gold coins, one of which Sun Yan also had, obtained earlier in a deal with Bakar on White Sunday.
Why does Park Guochang's home have it too?!
And quite a few.
"What is this thing, does anyone recognize it?" Sun Yan asked.
Even Cui Yuanxi, who was Park Guochang's secretary, shook her head in confusion.
She didn't even know there was such a secret hidden in this study.
"This is the God of Greed, Izak Hibiya, an ancient evil deity from Japan."
At this moment, Elise, who had been standing by, suddenly spoke.
"You recognize it?" Sun Yan quickly turned and asked, realizing that one of Elise's specialties was understanding multiple cultures.
The role of a cultured person comes in handy at times like this. Otherwise, it would have taken Sun Yan a lot of effort to investigate the background of the statue.
"I once read about this evil deity in a book."
Elise explained, staring at the double-headed evil god statue in the closet: "In Japanese mythology, Izuna is the mother of all gods, she and her brother Izuna gave birth to many gods,
including Izak Hibiya. As the youngest child of Izuna, Izak Hibiya obtained all of his mother's love from birth, which developed its very greedy nature,
wanting to steal everything. It stole gold, stole silver, stole pearls, and even had the audacity to try to pluck the sun and moon.
Izuna and Izuna then sealed this greedy being, known as the God of Greed, in a treasure-filled chest, from which Izak Hibiya could never escape,
Its name became a lost taboo in Japanese mythology, known to few, but it's said that whoever finds the chest containing Izak Hibiya can gain endless wealth from it."
Listening to Elise's explanation, Sun Yan grew more puzzled: "What was Park Guochang, a Peninsula person, doing with such an evil deity in his home, did he find this mythical Izak Hibiya?"
Immediately Sun Yan asked Cui Yuanxi: "Did Mr. Park have any fascination with the mystical side of things during his lifetime?"
Cui Yuanxi shook her head: "I've never heard of it, Mr. Park was a very industrious workaholic. Every time I saw him, he was working and rarely engaged in activities outside of work, not even playing online games."
"Dad!"
A young man in his twenties suddenly burst into the study from outside. Sun Yan turned to see the young man bore a strong resemblance to the deceased Park Guochang.
The two looked as if they were carved from the same mold, which amazed Sun Yan.
"This is Mr. Park's eldest son." Cui Yuanxi quietly explained to Sun Yan.
Park Guochang was forty-seven years old, naturally, he wouldn't have just one child. As a wealthy man, he wouldn't have just one wife either.
The young man in the study was the result of Park Guochang's first marriage, while the son whom Sun Yan helped during the exorcism was born from Park Guochang's new wife, whom he married the year before last.
However, the new wife recently went on vacation to Hawaii, which is why Sun Yan didn't see her at the villa.
It's undeniable that wealthy people know how to enjoy life. Even with a child possessed, they wouldn't cut short their vacation to check on things.
"Secretary Cui, how did my father die? Why did he die so suddenly? Someone must have killed him, right?"
The youth rushed up to Cui Yuanxi, angrily grabbing her shoulders, questioning her.
"Young master, you need to calm down. The police are still investigating the exact cause of Mr. Park's death and should have results soon." Cui Yuanxi comforted.
"Calm down! Damn it, my father is dead, how can I be calm? Aren't you bodyguards just freeloading? My father spent so much money, and this is how you protect him?"
The young man turned his anger on the bodyguards, clearly not one to be easily placated.
Sun Yan, who had been silent, just stood there, eyes fixed on Park Guochang's eldest son, his expression showing a trace of amusement.
On this fellow, he sensed a familiar aura, which, to some extent, resembled that face that escaped from the baby.
"Who is this, sir?"
After venting his rage, the young man finally turned his gaze to Sun Yan, not hiding an unfriendly look tinged with inexplicable hostility.
Cui Yuanxi hurriedly introduced: "This is Father Jackson, your brother's exorcism was thanks to him. Even what Mr. Jin Ronggen couldn't achieve, he managed. He's a quite skilled Exorcist."
The young man sneered: "Damn it, where do so many Exorcists come from?"
