Weird Regulator

Chapter 80 The same face

I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you're finally here, Ji Li.

On top of a roof beam, two men sitting side by side on the eaves, stepping on tiles, were whispering.

The long-haired man who had been sitting on the eaves for a long time was Ji Li who escaped from the sedan chair.

In fact, he didn't get anything from it.

Even the crisis was not too intense.

As a result, he gradually guessed that the ghost in the sedan chair did not directly want to kill him.

However, being unable to smoke for several hours is the most torturous thing for a person who is addicted to smoking.

Ji Li didn't talk much to Fang Shenyan. He quickly took the lighter that was handed to him, lit one for himself, and sucked hard.

After a cigarette, he still didn't speak.

Instead, he lit a second one, and then breathed a long sigh of relief. After blowing out the smoke ring, he said leisurely:

Thanks to the mark you left, otherwise I might not have found the Li Mansion. That's the key.

Fang Shenyan did not comment on Ji Li's words and just touched his gauze-wrapped palm.

They had just unloaded the coffin and realized something was wrong when they noticed that Ji Li was lagging behind.

Of course Fang Shenyan would not believe that Ji Li could die at this time.

So just to be on the safe side, I used my palms to rub the stone lion vigorously until the skin was ripped open and a fresh blood mark was drawn.

Ji Li, on the other hand, left the sedan chair and was searching on the street when he saw the blood-stained stone lion.

Therefore, he was able to enter the mansion.

As for the method, it is not a problem for Ji Li.

Fang Shenyan also lit a cigarette for himself and started smoking: Do you know who lives in this house?

Ji Li shook his head honestly and told the reason why he was waiting here:

“After I entered Li’s Mansion, I found that the whole old house was bigger than I imagined, and there was no one around.

Until I saw a familiar figure...

The young man on horseback.

Fang Shenyan nodded and added casually: His name is Chen Fu.

Ji Li glanced at him, frowned, and said, I followed him and came here. I thought he had a special status and was very respectful to the people in the house. I guess the people living here are extraordinary.

Fang Shenyan thought that it was indeed the case, Ji Li was also unlucky this time.

He actually walked to the door of the old woman's house just by relying on a prompt.

You smell of blood. Did you kill someone?

Ji Li smoked a cigarette and waved his sleeves, but he could still smell the lingering smell on Fang Shenyan's body.

Go to the back door and kill two handymen, and get some information.

Oh? Tell me.

Fang Shenyan cleared his throat slightly, and then started a large amount of intelligence collection and analysis.

“This Li Mansion has always been a big household in this town.

Li Chunyuan was an official in the late Qing Dynasty. He later abandoned his official position and went into business. His status in this town was very high.

It's a pity that they have no children in their lives. The old lady's nephew came from other places half a month ago, claiming to take care of them.

But actually, you and I both understand.

His arrival should be to prepare for inheriting the family business.

However, a few days after he arrived, Li Chunyuan died under mysterious circumstances, and the old lady also began to act secretly.

After that, the dozens of servants in the Li Mansion fell and scattered.

It is said that at first it was because several people disappeared inexplicably and there were rumors that there was a ghost in the house, so most of the people fled.

The current Li Mansion is nothing but an empty shell.

There are only two main characters, the old lady and Chen Fu.

Then there are the maids who serve the wife and the handymen who do odd jobs.

Ji Li listened to this long paragraph, and it was obvious that it was a narrative style compiled by Fang Shenyan, and the timeline was very clear.

Fang Shenyan took a deep breath of cigarette and then said:

The turning point of the matter was the arrival of Chen Fu half a month ago.

When Li Chunyuan died, the whole town mourned him. The elegiac couplets and funerals we saw were dedicated to him.

After all, the Li Mansion now has nothing but money.

And every night, there seems to be a funeral in the Li Mansion.

But this funeral was more like a fake funeral.

Chen Fu spent a lot of money to hire people from the town to help carry the coffin.

The people in white robes we saw were basically temporary workers and of little value.

The strange thing is that as early as half a month ago, Li Chunyuan's body had been secretly buried in Nanshan.

As for why he was buried secretly, I don’t know.

Similarly, we need to continue to explore the purpose of this strange behavior of holding funerals every night.

Ji Li nodded silently, then took out another cigarette from his arms and held it in his mouth.

But this story is still valid without ghosts.

After the last mission, Ji Li had become wary of the false information produced by the hotel.

Everything should be considered carefully.

Fang Shenyan heard this and shook his head slightly:

“We still know too little, and there are many doubts now.

The old woman was also very strange. She said she had a kind of immortality.

Both the voice and body characteristics are undoubtedly that of an old man, but the appearance and skin are as fresh as a woman in her 20s.

Also, she seemed to know in advance that several of us would come.

The so-called funeral procession was the one she appointed to greet them.

However, no one from Chen Fu to the old woman mentioned a word about the wedding team.

Ji Li thought for a while and then said:

I was pulled into the sedan chair, and there was a painting inside.

The portrait shows a bride wearing a red robe.

I'm pretty sure it's a ghost.

And I believe that Chen Fu and others knew about the existence of the sedan chair.

This can be seen through the red paper elegiac couplets on the gates of the town, and the red lights and white memorials.

They must have known about the ghost beforehand, and possibly even the image of the bride.

As for why this formation is put up, there may be another hidden reason.

But there must be a big secret in this Li Mansion.

It’s about the meaning of red and white clashing…”

This is our main mission!

Fang Shenyan put out the cigarette in his hand and nodded heavily.

The intelligence from both sides has been merged, and the initial difficulties and doubts have been given examples. The current situation is much simpler.

Ji Li was completely free from the Li family's calculations, and he became a non-staff member.

And this convenient identity was obviously given by being pulled into the sedan chair.

At this moment, a faint sound of conversation finally came from the crack in the exposed corner of the tiles.

Ji Li's eyes darkened, and his gray-black eyes looked at the gap.

Under the dim light, two figures stood face to face. Judging from this small space, they were not in a living room.

It was more like a secret room where the two of them were discussing something important.

When Ji Li saw the stooped figure on crutches, his eyes were filled with horror!

That figure obviously looked old, but his skin was very delicate.

It is the current head of the Li family, the old lady.

But what really shocked Ji Li for a long time was...

Her face is exactly the same as the bride in that portrait!
