Originally, a seemingly simple funeral involved a series of doubts.Miss Chen's affairs are destined to not go smoothly.

After sending Liu Shixian away, Duan Yucheng stayed in Zhou Jin's room.

"Detective Duan, are you going to sleep with me tonight?"

"Why didn't you tell him that Miss Chen was pregnant?"

"Is it necessary? Think about it, my unmarried wife has an affair with someone else, and any man can't stand it."

After Zhou Jin finished speaking, he rolled his eyes at Duan Yucheng. "Instead of you, would you like to?"

"Whether you like it or not, what happens is what happens, and escaping has no effect."

"He's sad enough, but tell him he's been cuckolded? The most important thing right now is to find the murderer who killed Ms. Chen."

Duan Yucheng sat across from Zhou Jin, looking at the old Taoist in front of him with heavy eyes.Zhou Jin was stared at with hairs all over his body, "What are you looking at me like that for?"

"You are a Taoist priest who practices things, why are you so concerned about the Chen family's affairs?" Duan Yucheng asked quietly.

Zhou Jin's heart skipped a beat, as expected, he couldn't escape.The corners of the mouth twitched, the brows frowned, "Would you believe me if I said I was defending Miss Chen?"

"I don't believe it." Duan Yucheng replied crisply.

Zhou Jin curled his lips inwardly, and then put on a serious face, "I'm a Taoist priest, but I also have a heart of benevolence and righteousness. The first time I came to this Chen's house, I felt that the people in this house were not full of yang, full of evil spirits." In addition, Ms. Chen died strangely on the eve of her wedding, with resentment in her mouth, the probability of becoming a murderous corpse is extremely high. If the truth is not found out and Ms. Chen's resentment is resolved, everyone in this house may be buried with her. "

Duan Yucheng was sitting in front of Zhou Jin, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked at Zhou Jin carefully, as if he was weighing the truth and falsehood of what he said.

Ordinarily, what Zhou Jin said was true, but he had hidden some key things.For example, he really wanted to find out the real culprit and resolve his grievances.But not for the Chen family, but for points.For another example, there is indeed evil in this house, and Ms. Chen may indeed become a murderous corpse, but this is a necessary process, and he is only responsible for catching the murderer.Therefore, this statement is half-truth and half-deception, and it is most difficult to expose it.

"That's the end of the story, believe it or not, it's getting late at night, so I won't stay any longer with Inspector." As he spoke, he stood up and made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing this, Duan Yucheng stood up slowly, and looked up at Zhou Jin: "I believe you for now, not for other reasons, but because I believe that you really want to catch the murderer, although the purpose is unknown." Then he paused. Said: "Tomorrow I will go to Miss Chen's room to check, can you come?"

"During the day, I sleep until the sun rises. You don't have to wait for me. If you find something, we'll discuss it in detail at night." Said Duan Yucheng and waved his hand with a smile.

As soon as Duan Yucheng left, Zhou Jin plunged into the soft bed.

Just now he worked hard to find Miss Chen's soul, but he was tired and scared, so he lay on the bed without washing up. "I'm so exhausted!" This fine brocade quilt is covered with fresh cotton, which is soft and soft, and still has a faint scent of incense.

Zhou Jin hugged his arms and put his feet together, wrapped the quilt in his arms, and fell asleep.

Zhou Jin fell asleep until three or four in the afternoon. During this period, the maid came over and brought him food twice, but he didn't wake up.When Zhou Jin woke up, he realized that the sun was about to set.It seems that this soul-calling is really labor-intensive. It is better for me, a little Taoist priest with two swords, to do less of these things in the future, otherwise I might lose my life.If you hang up before completing the task, it would be too bad!

After wolfing down most of the food brought by the maid in the room, Zhou Jin hiccupped and sat in the room waiting for Duan Yucheng and the others to come over.

After a short while, I heard someone knocking on the door outside the house.Zhou Jin thought it was Duan Yucheng, pushed the door open and asked, "Finished?"

Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she found that Duan Yucheng was not standing at the door.It turned out to be the man who led the way for him before.

The man looked at Zhou Jin nervously.

"Why you?" Zhou Jin froze for a moment.He heard the man say: "Master Dao, can you go in and talk?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jin nodded, stepped aside, let the man into the house, and closed the door.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the man turn around and said with a serious face, "Master Dao, I am the one who reported the case."

Zhou Jin was startled, but he looked at the man in front of him calmly.I saw his haggard face, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, but his eyes were piercing.She was dressed in short black coarse cloth, but there was a small dragon character embroidered with red thread on the corner of the clothes.

"Why did you come to tell me?" Zhou Jin looked at him coldly.

"Because I know you are in trouble." The man wiped the sweat from his face. It was early spring, but he was so hot that he was sweating profusely. It looked like he must have run all the way here.

"What do you mean by that?"

The man frowned, "Master Dao, you don't have to guard against me. Since I can tell you that I am the one who reported the crime, I have already put my old background in front of you. If Mrs. Chen finds out about this, I'm afraid I won't have it." Alive."

Zhou Jin's expression softened a little when he heard this, and he waved his hand, "Sit down first, you've come here so recklessly that I'm in a fog."

"I don't have time to sit. Today is already the second day, and you don't have much time." The man gritted his teeth and whispered.

Before Zhou Jin could ask him after finishing speaking, he continued, "Master Duan and the others found a jade wrench in Miss's room today."

"Jade finger?" Zhou Jin's face tightened.

"It's a man's. But Butler Li insisted that it belonged to Mr. Lao Shizi He." The man showed a look of disdain on his face.

"Do you know whose it is?" Zhou Jin moved forward subconsciously.

Hearing this, the man showed a heartbroken expression, his eyes were reddish, he clenched his fists tightly, and his teeth were clenched, "I know, but I can't tell the Taoist right now."

"why is that?"

"I'm afraid I'll tell you, Daoist, you can't catch that person."

Hearing this, Zhou Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the man in front of him.

The man took two deep breaths, calmed down a little, and looked up at Zhou Jin, "You don't have evidence, even if you know who it is, what can you do if he insists on not admitting it? The mouse smelled the wind and ran away!"

The more Zhou Jin listened, the more surprised he was. This big man was plain-looking, and although his words were rough, he was quite organized, not like an ordinary servant.Suspicion suddenly arose, lest this was a cover-up sent by the murderer.

"Then what can you tell me now?" Zhou Jin stared at the big man closely and asked in a low voice.

"Master Dao can look for it, Miss's personal maid—Dian Cui."

"Why did you tell me such an important matter instead of going to Inspector Duan?"

Hearing this, the man's eyes became bloodshot and red, which was quite frightening. "Because of this matter, if you can't ask people, you have to ask ghosts!"

The big man put down these words, and then told Zhou Jin to go to the small garden in front to take a look at it tonight, and left in a hurry.Before Zhou Jin regained his composure, he heard someone knocking on the door again.

Before he could open the door, he heard a loud noise, which startled him.

As soon as he looked up, Duan Yucheng stomped the door open!

"You demolished the house!" Zhou Jin scolded angrily.

When Duan Yucheng saw him sitting upright in the room, his solemn expression immediately relaxed, and he didn't explain.And Liu Shixian who was following behind him hurriedly stood up: "Master Daoist, are you alright?"

"What can I do?" Zhou Jin froze for a moment, then looked at the two of them blankly.

Duan Yucheng went straight to the table and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and put it down: "Have you slept all day?"

Zhou Jin was taken aback just now, and was upset, so he choked out angrily, "What? I stayed with you for most of the night last night, why don't you allow me to sleep a little longer?"

When Liu Shixian heard this, he was a little stunned: "After I left yesterday, what else did you two do?"

Zhou Jin felt that the topic was a bit far-fetched, so he waved his hand: "You just asked me if I was okay, what's going on?"

Liu Shixian also remembered, and hurriedly said: "Someone is missing, and if we haven't seen you for a day, we are worried that something will happen to you."

When Zhou Jin heard this, the first thing he thought of was that big man, no way, he made such a quick move? "Who is missing?"

"Miss Chen's personal maid, Dian Cui."

It didn't take long to hear this name twice, and Zhou Jin's expression suddenly became serious.Is what the big man said true?

"When did you find out it was gone?"

"Inspector Duan wanted to ask someone to question, only to find that he was gone. Some servants said that it seemed that Miss Chen hadn't seen her the night she died."

"There's no need to look for him, no one is missing." Zhou Jin said after a moment of silence. "It should be dead."

When Liu Shixian heard this, he was startled. "Dead again?"

Duan Yucheng raised his head and looked at Zhou Jin, "What do you know?"

Zhou Jin lowered his voice and looked at Duan Yucheng: "Inspector Duan, the work of the living is yours, and the work of the dead is mine."
