Live Streaming: Fortune Telling (Taekook)

Chapter 3: Solving the Wife Murder Case

The comment section was a mess, with comments scrolling so fast they were illegible.

Jungkook remained silent, staring intently at the man's face. After a few minutes, he finally spoke, his expression cold and his tone indifferent, "Sir, where your wife is, don't you already know? Why bother asking me?"

"Streamer, what are you talking about? If I knew, why would I be searching everywhere for her? I even called the police." The pained expression on the man's face froze for a moment before instantly turning into anger.

"I advise you to turn yourself in." Jungkook didn't want to waste words on him. This man merely saw that he had low popularity and thought he was incompetent, so he came to gain sympathy and, incidentally, trick Jungkook into providing him with an alibi.

Too bad his plan was perfectly laid out, but he chose the wrong person.

The man tried to argue, but Jungkook didn't give him the chance. He shook the other phone in his hand, the screen displaying the missing person notice the man had posted.

"Mr. Tan, I have already examined your wife's Eight Characters of Birth and her physiognomy. According to the divination, the signs indicate: Death, Mutilation, Emptiness, Cold."

"In other words, she died five days ago. Her body should be incomplete, most likely dismembered. Her assets and possessions are all gone, taken by someone. Right now, she is in a very cold place. I guess it’s a freezer or a refrigerator?"

The man looked at Jungkook strangely for a moment, then let out a dry laugh. He took his phone and flipped the camera around to show his house. "Streamer, I don't have a refrigerator at home, much less a freezer."

Jungkook lowered his gaze. Looking at the face of such an evil person hurt his eyes, especially for someone who possessed the Heavenly Eye like him.

He looked at the comments below the phone screen, where attitudes were rapidly changing. "I never said it was in your house."

【Holy crap, no way. The thief crying'Stop thief'?】

【If this is true, then this Streamer is incredible.】

【Our Little Kook is the best! Everyone, please follow Jeon Jungkook, he's a small actor.】

【Killing a wife for money? The real-life version of 'Lost in the Stars'?】

【Terrifying! For a moment, I couldn't tell if the Deep Sea Starry Sky was scarier or this man.】

【Everyone pay attention, the Streamer said the body was dismembered and hidden in a freezer. Where could the body be hidden?】

Just as everyone was still guessing, suddenly there was a knock on the man's door. The man took his phone and went to open it.

"Streamer, are you determined to gain attention by spouting nonsense? Just now you called someone a Cuckold, and now you're falsely accusing me. I can call the police and have you arrested. I hate scammers the most."

The man spoke through gritted teeth, seemingly genuinely angry about being deceived.

But the next second, the door opened, and a group of police officers stood outside.

Jungkook looked up. "You're too late. I already called the police."

After opening the door, the police officer said, "Someone reported that you killed your wife, dismembered her, and hid the body in a freezer. We need to conduct a search."

He then pointed at the man's phone. "Turn off your phone. No photos are allowed at the scene."

Juny spoke up opportunely, "Hello, Police Uncle, I am the person who reported the crime."

The officer took the phone and said to Jungkook, "He doesn't have a refrigerator, freezer, or any kind of cold storage room at home. Comrade, if you know any details, please be more specific."

The existing information was too scarce, and Jungkook couldn't deduce anything further. If he were present at the scene, perhaps he could, but sensing things through the phone was impossible.

He pondered for a few seconds. "I need to know the exact time of Ms. Yao's birth. Based on her Eight Characters, I can deduce her location."

The police officer opposite him hesitated. Jungkook heard a voice nearby saying, "Charlatan?"

After a while, the police finally got the time of birth from the man's mother-in-law. Perhaps treating it as a desperate measure, the police ultimately tacitly agreed to Jungkook's request.

Jungkook calculated the result in just a few seconds. "North, three hundred meters, near flowing water."

"You two, watch Tan Yuan here. The rest of you, follow me."

The police took the phone and ran three hundred meters north. This was an empty lot in front of a residential building, and there was nothing there.

Only a sewer manhole cover.

The police opened the manhole cover and went down. The phone intermittently captured the scene below the well.

Following the rusty ladder down, an extension cord was hanging down, which was used by workers for maintenance.

At the end of the extension cord, a white freezer stood silently.

Over an hour later, it was completely dark. The police finally brought the freezer up to the ground undamaged. Caution tape was strung around the area, and Jungkook, along with the phone, was moved outside the cordon.

The viewers who were watching the screen, just as the phone was handed over, caught a glimpse of a freezer full of human remains and a pair of frozen eyes that stared accusingly even in death.

【Aaaah! nothing forbidden, nothing forbidden!】

【Why did I have to see this late at night!】

【Oh my god, what did I see? A person chopped into pieces!!!】

【Ahhh, so scary, I'm going to have nightmares.】

【I just saw her eyes. I feel like she's staring at me. She won't come looking for me, will she?】

【Streamer, help me quickly, I'm so scared.】

【The Streamer is truly divine! His calculations are too accurate.】

【I believe him. What shill would get himself involved with the police?】

【This man is definitely getting life imprisonment, right?】

【Ahhh, I was just sympathizing with him and cursing the Streamer. The backlash came too fast, like a tornado.】

【Me too. I'm sorry, Streamer Big Brother. I didn't believe such a handsome and divine Big Brother, but believed that old man. I was wrong.】

【I must have been blind to believe that scumbag's acting.】

Because many news outlets had reported on Tan Yuan's search for his wife, it was almost a household name. Therefore, when Jungkook exposed him, many people shared the live stream link.

By now, the live stream room had thirty thousand viewers.

Thirty thousand people in one night counts as a minor hit.

Jungkook saw the comments all expressing fear, so he thought for a moment, picked up a guitar—it was the original owner's.

He gently tuned the pitch. "Since everyone is scared, I'll chant a Calming Incantation for you. Listening to it can stabilize your mind and bring peace."

The guitar strings were plucked rhythmically, and a soothing chant flowed slowly from the young man's mouth. The gentle, low voice seemed to carry magic, making everyone who heard it unable to resist sinking into it.

【Little Brother's chanting is so pleasant to listen to. Having such a good voice is cheating, and most importantly, he's handsome.】

【Seriously, after listening to the Streamer chant, I'm not scared at all.】

【Me too! This Calming Incantation is so effective.】

【I played it out loud, and even my dog calmed down. It immediately let go of my slipper. It really is miraculous. My slipper is safe, yay!】
