Mansion Raiders

The next morning, Xia Leyang and monk Tingzhi tidied up and arranged the Gu family mansion. Around eleven o'clock, Zhou Runhua came to the Gu family mansion with his assistant.He was wearing a brown silk Tang suit, holding two walnuts in his hands. The assistant beside him was tall and thin. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he began to observe the layout of the courtyard quietly, obviously looking at the Feng Shui here.

Shang Tingzhi and Zhou Runhua briefly exchanged pleasantries, and they found a random reason why Xia Leyang was here, and then welcomed Zhou Runhua into the room.

"Boss Zhou, the room has been tidied up." Shang Tingzhi politely took Zhou Runhua to the courtyard, looked up at the circular staircase here and said, "Two people died on the staircase, and the blood has seeped into the wood. Deal with it, if Boss Zhou is taboo, just avoid those dark places when walking."

Shang Tingzhi also said these words to Xia Leyang. At that time, Comrade Xia Leyang was so frightened that he rushed to Shang Tingzhi's side. However, unlike Xia Leyang, Zhou Runhua was very calm. He nodded and said, "Since it is Haunted house, there must be something different."

Shang Tingzhi stopped talking and brought Zhou Runhua to the corridor on the second floor.There are only two bedrooms on the second floor, Shang Tingzhi and Xia Leyang's belongings are in the bedroom on the left, Xia Leyang took the initiative to open the door of the bedroom on the right, and said to Zhou Runhua: "This is my bedroom, I will take you to the bathroom .”

"Bathroom?" Zhou Runhua asked slightly surprised.

The bathroom is the place where the female ghost was killed. As the murderer, Zhou Runhua, it is not difficult to guess that the most haunted place should be there.But of course he couldn't show that he knew, so when Xia Leyang invited him to the bathroom, he pretended not to understand.

Xia Leyang acted with him and said, "Aren't you looking for the place with the most yin energy? The bathroom is the place with the most yin energy in the Gu family mansion."

After saying this sentence, Xia Leyang added maliciously: "You'd better sleep in the bathtub, then I guarantee that you will never make a villain again after you go out."

Zhou Runhua twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a polite yet awkward smile, and continued to pretend he didn't know anything: "I heard that a single woman died in the Gu family mansion, did she commit suicide in the bathroom?"

"No." Xia Leyang shook his index finger, pushed open the bathroom door, and made a "please" gesture to Zhou Runhua, "Come, come, let me explain to you carefully."

Shang Tingzhi looked at Xia Leyang's serious look, and thought it was funny, he folded his arms around his chest, and leaned on the sink, as if he was watching a show.

"First of all, this woman is not single." Xia Leyang said with a serious face, "She has a beloved man named—"

When Xia Leyang said this, he deliberately elongated his voice to tease people's appetite. Zhou Runhua's expression stiffened for a second, but he quickly returned to normal.

"...I don't know what it's called." Xia Leyang said in a relaxed tone, "The neighbors in the neighborhood only know that there is a man who often comes here."

"Is that so?" Zhou Runhua secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "So she committed suicide for love in the end?"

"You made a mistake again." Xia Leyang came to the bathtub and sat down where the female ghost often sat. "She didn't commit suicide."

"Didn't she commit suicide?" Zhou Runhua subconsciously raised the volume, exchanged glances with the tall and thin assistant beside him, and then asked puzzledly, "It seems that she committed suicide in the news reports, right?"

"That's because criminal investigation methods were not developed back then." Xia Leyang pursed his lips regretfully, "But now the case has been reopened, and the police are looking for the murderer."

These words of Xia Leyang are actually nonsense. There is no new evidence in the case, so the case will not be reopened easily. He just said this to defraud Zhou Runhua.

Sure enough, when Zhou Runhua heard this, he immediately lost his previous composure, frowned, and asked in a serious tone: "Looking for a murderer?"

"That's right." Xia Leyang snapped his fingers, "That murderer certainly didn't expect that dead people could speak."

After Xia Leyang finished speaking, the air was quiet for a second.Zhou Runhua thought he heard it wrong, so he repeated Xia Leyang's words uncertainly: "Dead people...can talk?"

"That's right." Comrade Xia Leyang, who believes in science, nodded generously, "When we first moved in, this female ghost was always making trouble for us. Later, for some reason, she seemed to be remembering some fragments of her life, non-stop Tip us in, I've passed all that information on to the police."

Xia Leyang was hinting at the change of the female ghost because her tomb was destroyed and the power of the seal was weakened a lot.Zhou Runhua naturally thought of this, and without suspicion, he pretended to be calm and asked: "Then... how much did she remember?"

"I don't know the details, and she doesn't know how to chat with me." Xia Leyang shrugged nonchalantly, "But she gave me a dream a few days ago, and it probably looked like this when I saw her die. "

After Xia Leyang finished speaking, she lay down in the bathtub, with one hand hanging outside the bathtub, she turned her head to stare at Zhou Runhua, and said faintly, "That's how she looks at the murderer."

Xia Leyang was talking to Zhou Runhua, so it was normal to look at Zhou Runhua.But what he said was a pun again, implying that the person in front of him is the murderer.

Zhou Runhua was confused for a moment, he asked guiltyly: "That female ghost, where is she now?"

"It's been a long time since I left." Xia Leyang crawled out of the bathtub, "Maybe you should find the murderer yourself."

Zhou Runhua swallowed visibly, and said with a dry smile, "It's good that she's not here."

Shang Tingzhi arranged Zhou Runhua in an empty bedroom on the third floor. Zhou Runhua offered to invite the two of them to dinner. Shang Tingzhi was used to this kind of entertainment and did not refuse.

During the dinner, Zhou Runhua asked them about the situation of the police, but Xia Leyang couldn't answer clearly, and Zhou Runhua couldn't find anything.

After lunch, the four parted ways.Tang Fengyi took Shang Tingzhi and Xia Leyang back to the Shang family's villa. At this time, Xu Zhiruo had already waited here with his colleagues, and had also received the signal from the monitoring equipment installed by Shang Tingzhi in the Gu family mansion in the morning.

Zhao Ying delayed the time to go to Zhou Runhua's tomb. Although this preserved the integrity of General Li's tomb, the police could not get substantial evidence to arrest Zhou Runhua. He played a vital role.

After a rustling sound from the earphones, the voices of Zhou Runhua and his assistant came soon.

On the screen, the two were pacing up and down in the wide yard, looking under the bushes for a while, and looking around the old tree for a while, apparently looking for the best place to hide the urn.

"Do you think the urn will be in Zhou Runhua's car?" Xia Leyang took off one ear of the headset and asked Shang Tingzhi beside him.

"He probably won't be with him at any time." Shang Tingzhi looked at the two people on the screen and said, "Zhang Wenlun told him where the ashes are, and the female ghost is there. There is no need for him to lead the female ghost to him..."

When Shang Tingzhi said this, he didn't continue, because Zhou Runhua's voice sounded in the earphone.

"Xiao Jin, you are still tall, and you actually thought of burying the ashes directly in the Gu family mansion." Zhou Runhua crossed his hands behind his back, and said to the assistant who was spinning around with a compass, "Your father didn't Thinking that it could still be like this, he specially asked me to build a model of the Gu family mansion and lock the woman inside."

The assistant named Xiaojin focused on the compass in his hand and didn't answer the call.Zhou Runhua continued: "After the urn is buried, this woman will never be able to escape, right?"

"That's right." Xiao Jin put away the compass and pointed to a piece of land in the southeast corner, "This is it. Bury her in at three o'clock tonight, and you will never have to worry about it."

The Gu family mansion is an old foreign-style house. Such a historical building is not allowed to be rebuilt casually. There will be no such thing as a mass grave being converted into a school before. Moreover, the owner has been abroad all year round and has never managed this property, so it can be said that it is Forever.

After setting the time and place, Zhou Runhua called his subordinates and asked them to send the columbarium over according to the time.At the same time, Xu Zhiruo also arranged for the police to squat near the Gu family mansion.

While nibbling on the jerky, Xu Zhiruo chatted with Xia Leyang, "Is the place where the ashes are buried really so particular?"

"Of course." Before Xia Leyang could speak, Yang Wenting, who was standing by to watch the fun, answered, "If this Yin House is chosen well, future generations will be blessed."

Xu Zhiruo was still half-believing, and so were his police colleagues. It was all feudal superstition to joke about ghosts in the house of a famous Fengshui master.

Yang Wenting was not angry, and went to get some fruits and snacks for everyone. The atmosphere was like an afternoon tea party.

Zhou Runhua left the Gu's mansion after explaining to his subordinates, and probably will come back at night.Xia Leyang took a bite of the apple, and said to Shang Tingzhi, "By the way, I lied to Zhou Runhua just now."

Shang Tingzhi rubbed Xia Leyang's furry head, and asked amusedly, "Which statement you just said is true?"

"A lot of them are true." Xia Leyang was completely dissatisfied with Shang Tingzhi's generalization, "The female ghost sister is not single, she did not commit suicide, and the scene of her death, these are all true."

"Yes," Shang Tingzhi pierced ruthlessly, "Anyway, as long as it is something Zhou Runhua knows, you should tell the truth."

Xia Leyang made a "cut", and continued: "In addition to the nonsense, I also told a little lie, you don't even know about it."

"Oh?" Shang Tingzhi responded curiously.

"Just now Zhou Runhua asked me where the female ghost sister is now, and I said she had been away for a long time." Xia Leyang lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Actually, in the bathroom just now—"

Speaking of this, Xia Leyang paused deliberately as if to tantalize her appetite, and then said: "The female ghost sister has been sticking to Zhou Runhua's back, her face is next to his ear, just looking at him with her head sideways, motionless."
