Chen's house is located in an unusual location.It was not built in the town, but guarded a hilltop and built a deep house compound.Since his ancestors had been running the Golden House, the business was booming in Mr. Chen's generation.Now, because of the sudden war and the unrest in the world, Mr. Chen bought this hill with his wife and daughter, built a house, and hid.But I don't know if Feng Shui was not selected properly when the house was built. Since living in this house, a series of changes have occurred in the family.First, when the eldest son was upright and upright, he was about to start a family and start a business, but was murdered on the way to get married.Mr. Chen's wife also went with her because of excessive sadness.Now there is an only daughter left, and she was murdered.Now, even Mr. Chen himself is seriously ill, causing panic in the house.All the servants in the house said that the house is a place of great evil and people should not live in it.

Zhou Jin wiped the scum from his mouth. Although Mr. Chen's family is pitiful, they are just people in this world after all. Compared with him, his own mission is the most important.Now he has to quickly find the murderer who murdered Miss Chen and get points.In reality, he is pretty clean, and the rent is due soon.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jin grabbed two more snacks from the plate, wrapped them up and put them in his arms.

Zhou Jin grabbed the whisk on the table, put on the Taoist hat on his head, put the whisk on his arm, and walked out slowly.

Ms. Chen's mourning hall is located in the courtyard of the atrium. The red lights and white cloths along the way are deserted and there is no one in sight.In the climate of early spring, if you only wear a single shirt, your teeth will chatter and you will shiver in the cold at night.As soon as the wind blows, the cold air goes straight to the bone.The Chen family's house built on the mountain is even more chilly, and the night is heavy with dew.Walking along the way, the dew on the grass and trees made the corners of my clothes wet.

Zhou Jin quickly wrapped up the old Taoist robe on his body, arched his body slightly, and walked forward.

Mr. Chen's ancestors were Huizhou merchants, and the house is also a typical Huizhou building, with white walls and blue tiles, and layers of horse head walls, which are extremely elegant and unique.Even the window lattices on the wall are carved with wings and flowers, and the craftsmanship is complicated.As soon as the house entered the suite, it was impossible to count how many houses there were.No matter what the feng shui of this house is, the craftsmanship alone will make people speechless.

The bright moon hanging high above the head is big and round, and sheds a soft light all the way. It really is the fifteenth moon and sixteenth round.Without turning on the lights, you can see the road under your feet clearly.Zhou Jin walked forward in the direction the maid said, but for some reason, he couldn't get out of a small garden.Going around is still in one place.

Looking around, only the milky white moonlight was with him.The cold wind blew gently, piercing directly into his thin Taoist robe.After turning around for an unknown amount of time, Zhou Jin felt his feet getting heavier and heavier, as if something was wrapped around his feet.

Zhou Jin swallowed involuntarily. Could it be that a ghost hit a wall?This dilapidated house is really haunted!Quickly reached out and fumbled in his arms. Although he is not a serious Taoist priest, the system gave him some gadgets from the beginning according to the settings of this world, such as mahogany swords, ghost charms, everything that one expects to find.

Zhou Jin was touching his head when he heard a "meow" behind him, and he was so scared that he turned around to look.A living creature that looked like a cat but not a cat ran past him and jumped into the grass.

Zhou Jin jumped back in fright, and finally took out a stack of amulets from his bosom, first put a few on his body and face, and then squeezed another one in his hand.

"He Fang Ghost, you and I have no grievances or enmities, and Pindao has never done anything unscrupulous in his daily life. Don't block my way, get out of the way quickly!" Looking at his face full of yellow symbols, it looks ridiculous.

Zhou Jin fell silent for a long time, but there was no movement in the grass.

Reluctance to gather his mind, Zhou Jin slowly walked forward holding the talisman paper.Since it was a ghost hitting the wall, I simply closed my eyes to see what it could do to trap me.

Zhou Jin slowly closed his eyes, pasted two talisman papers on his eyelids, then held the talisman papers in one hand, stood in front of him, and walked forward slowly.

After walking for about half a stick of incense, Zhou Jin didn't know whether he had come out or not. Instead, there were some sounds in his ears, and it was no longer as dead silent as in the garden just now.

"Master Dao?" Zhou Jin was overjoyed when he heard someone calling him, and quickly opened his eyes, only to find that the paper talisman was still on the face of the door, so he quickly took off the paper talisman and stuffed it into his bosom.At the same time, when he looked up, he saw a man with an honest and honest face looking at him in surprise.

Zhou Jin grinned happily and walked out.

That small garden is really strange, it seems that this old mansion seems to hide a lot of shady things.The one in the small garden before was a little scary, but it didn't do him any real harm. He had a chance to take a look again to see what was going on.

"Excuse me, how can I get to the mourning hall? I got lost on the way and was delayed for a while, can you take me there?" Zhou Jin said hastily, ignoring the man's surprised eyes.

The man nodded quickly, "Butler Li saw that you haven't come for a long time, so he just asked me to pick you up."

"Thank you, it really helped the poor."

While leading the way, the man looked back from time to time to see if Zhou Jin was following. His feet were fast and steady.Zhou Jin's two legs really couldn't keep up with his other two legs.

After walking for a bag of cigarettes, Zhou Jin followed the man to a round arched stone door.I saw him pointing to the arched door, "Behind this is the mourning hall, please, Daoist."

"Thank you."

Seeing this, the man quickly waved his hands, with a simple and honest smile on his face.Zhou Jin just took a few steps forward, but when he turned his head, the man was nowhere to be seen.

Zhou Jin frowned slightly. The people in this Chen's house were always elusive, and they looked abnormal.Forget it, just ignore him, the business matters.

After stepping through the arched door in two or three steps, you will see two huge white flags erected high in front of you, and yellow and white paper money with round square holes fluttering profusely all over your head.Looking up, I saw men and women kneeling on the ground outside the mourning hall, dressed in sackcloth and mourning. In the pale moonlight, each of them had a dull expression, neither crying nor laughing.

White couplets were pasted on both sides of the tall mourning hall, and two white silk lanterns dangled under the eaves, each with a black word "Dian" pasted on it.In the hall, a coffin of red patent leather is placed in the center.On the incense table in front of the coffin, white candles and incense were lit, and various tributes such as melons, fruits, pears and peaches were placed.On both sides of the incense case stood a virgin boy and girl, with black eyes, pale face and bright red mouth, people who looked at it shuddered.

The servants at the side knelt on the ground, throwing gold ingots and other paper money into the brazier.

Zhou Jin walked forward slowly, wanting to start investigating the cause of Miss Chen's death. Right now, he could only start with Miss Chen's body.Zhou Jin needed a reason, or an opportunity, to observe Miss Chen's body carefully.

"Daoist Zhou, you are here." Someone saw Zhou Jin approaching, and immediately walked quickly from the mourning hall.That person was Li He, the big steward of the Chen family who had given Zhou Jin silver dollars earlier.I saw that he was wearing a long gown and filial piety, his waist was tied with a white cloth belt, and a white cloth strip was tied around his head.Looking at the age of about forty or so, the appearance is ordinary, but the eyebrows are kind.

This Li He seemed unusual.To become the big steward of such a big family as the Chen family, naturally, there are many ways to do it. I'm afraid that dealing with him will be indispensable in the future.Thinking of this, Zhou Jin quickly put on a smile, shook his whisk lightly, put one hand on his chest, and saluted, "Housekeeper Li, excuse me for being late."

"Where is it, I didn't think it through."

"I won't say too many polite words, Steward Li. I wonder if I can meet Master Chen. There are some things I still want to discuss with him face to face." Zhou Jin didn't bother to greet him. Time waits for no one. You can get points sooner.

"This..." Li He frowned, as if there was something unspeakable.
