Everyone was shocked and hurried to the ancestral hall;

"What a joke! Could it be that a dead person knew we were here to catch him and hid himself?"

If this were said in real life, Ji Zhe would not believe a word of it, but this is a place with ghosts and haunted places, so this statement might actually be true...

Who knows, the ghost of the second young master Pei Feng might be secretly watching them in some corner.

Ji Zhe suddenly remembered the bones, bugs, and the weird old man he encountered this morning. A chill ran down his spine, and he couldn't help but touch his arm;

And for some reason, Ji Zhe always felt a chill on his back, as if... something was staring at him from behind;

But when Ji Zhe looked back, all he could see was pitch black.

He thought about it and decided to move closer to Pei Yu. No matter what, Pei Yu was still a human being.

......

Facing the entrance of the ancestral hall, you can see rows of spirit tablets, with many offerings placed underneath.

This ancestral hall has existed for many years. Although someone cleans it regularly, it still has a rotten and old smell from the inside.

Just when Ji Zhe was feeling uneasy, a man suddenly squatted down and began to observe the traces of the place where the coffin disappeared. He observed carefully and touched it gently with his fingertips. After a while, the man frowned as if he had discovered something, stood up and shouted;

"Come quickly, there are dragging marks here! From the marks, it seems that the coffin did not disappear out of thin air, but someone dragged it away on purpose."

Hearing this, the others gathered around;

There were indeed drag marks on the ground, but they were not obvious and seemed to have been covered up.

But this alone is not enough to prove anything, so some people questioned it and asked:

"How is that possible? This ancestral hall is not far from where we ate. If there really was someone causing trouble, we would have heard some noises!"

Jiang Huai listened, frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully:

"Butler Zhao, do you have a back door?"

Butler Zhao naturally understood the meaning of his words and waved his hand quickly:

"It's long gone. A few years ago, a thief came in through the back door to steal property. After he was caught, I asked someone to build a wall there. Now if you want to walk through here, you must pass through the gate!"

"Oh~ That's hard to say."

Jiang Huai just left a lukewarm remark and went to find a place outside to kick stones, seemingly not intending to participate in the subsequent discussion.

The people that Butler Zhao had brought didn't seem very smart. They discussed for a long time in the ancestral hall but couldn't figure out what was going on. The drag mark was only a tiny bit, and it was impossible to determine the direction.

Finally, the group of people could only return to the room and leave a message saying they would talk about it tomorrow.

In the end, besides Butler Zhao, only Pei Yu and Ji Zhe were left in the ancestral hall;

"these people......"

Pei Yu paused for a moment, as if he was not in a position to speak out what was in his mind.

Butler Zhao had been a shrewd man for many years, so he naturally knew what Pei Yu was thinking. He smiled bitterly:

"Hey, I asked someone to find these for me. Maybe they are only good at catching ghosts."

After saying this, he looked at Ji Zhe behind Pei Yu and continued,

"It's getting late, you two gentlemen should go back and rest early. I will have to trouble you in the next few days."
