Grudge Breaker

Chapter 81 The Mysterious Case of the Ghost Husband

- "Homicide?!"

The two of them pretended to be surprised.

The tea shop owner nodded and raised his chin towards the closed Buzhuang store next door, "That's right there. The youngest son of the old Zhang family got married two months ago. Since the eldest son has been doing business outside the customs all year round, they put this place here. The cloth store was handed over to the younger son to take care of, and then the old couple moved to their ancestral home on Guiyun Mountain to enjoy their old age. On weekdays, the young couple lived in the store, and the accountants and waiters were all locals from the town. Let’s go home and stay at night.”

The owner of the tea shop refilled the tea for Song and Mo, and also took a sip of the tea in his own cup. "Half a month ago, the youngest son of the Zhang family went out to purchase goods, and left with the accountant and a waiter. Two waiters were left behind with the Zhang family's youngest son. My daughter-in-law is doing business in the restaurant. To say that this little daughter-in-law is also a responsible person, I never thought that something like this would happen today."
.

"You said it was a murder case, but you met a thief?"

Song Weichen then pretended to be stupid. The fear on her face was not fake.

The tea shop owner shook his head, "Nothing was lost in the shop. This morning, the two guys came to the shop to work as usual. It was supposed that the boss's wife would have opened the door at that time, but they stood at the door and waited for a while, but there was no movement. They knocked. No one answered the door and the windows were closed. The two felt strange and consulted with the surrounding neighbors. After waiting for a while at the door, they were worried that the proprietress of the cloth shop was seriously ill, so they decided to pry open the door. As a result..."

The tea shop owner looked at Song Weichen and hesitated.

"Girls are timid, so don't listen. Let me tell your husband what I'm saying."
.

Song Weichen said oh and pretended to cover his ears, only to hear the tea shop owner sigh, "In the end, the daughter-in-law of this family died naked on the bed with her legs exposed. According to Wu Zuo, the eyes of the corpse were dilated and the pupils were dilated. When I found out, my hands were still clutching the mattress tightly, my toes were hooked, my hands and feet were cold, and my whole body was dripping with sweat. And... the bed was very wet, as if I had experienced an extremely intense love affair that led to death."

Only then did Song Weichen understand why the tea shop owner asked her to cover her ears. She wished she hadn't heard this and felt her face heat up. Fortunately, the boss was focused on Mo Tingfeng at the moment and didn't notice her embarrassment.

"But this little lady has a crush, and while her husband is away...?" Mo Tingfeng asked hypocritically.

He naturally saw that Song Weichen's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he thought of the way she kept asking what the big leak was that morning. He found it funny and suppressed a smile and pretended to be nonchalant.
.

"That's where the mystery lies. If that's the case, that's it. But even after searching the house, the policemen and the government officials couldn't find any trace of the presence of another man in the house. Not even a trace."

The boss looked around and moved a little closer to Mo Tingfeng, "Everyone said this was not done by humans, but by the ghost husband."

Mo Tingfeng frowned, "Do you know where her husband is now?"

The boss shook his head, "I heard the Zhang family's daughter-in-law said it was time to come back a few days ago. She hasn't seen anyone yet. Something like this happened again today. People are saying that she might have died outside..."

The tea shop owner nodded to Song Weichen, indicating that she didn't need to cover her ears.

"I speculate that the owner of Yunshui Tower suddenly wants to sell the store, which may be related to this matter. He originally wanted to open a restaurant on Guiyun Mountain, but now he is even more determined. I am afraid that he is worried that he will not be able to take action if the trouble continues." After a pause, "That's all, I shouldn't have said this. It's really just a matter of looking at the two newlyweds. If something happens because of this... it would be a big sin."
.

Mo Tingfeng stood up and saluted the tea shop owner, "The boss is kind-hearted and everything he said was personal. I sincerely thank you." Seeing this, Song Weichen also stood up and saluted, his ears still red.

The owner of the tea shop stood up and returned the gift, then sat down to make tea, "You two are very polite. I am just saying this for my own peace of mind. As for whether to go to the restaurant, it is up to you, sir. Maybe I am too careless. What if that's not the case, and the young master misses this good location and good price because of this, he is an old man." Mo Tingfeng turned towards the closed door of the cloth shop, and turned back as if he thought of something, "There is a murder case. , why is there no official seal on the door of the cloth village?"

"One is that the head of the Buzhuang family has not returned, and the official manager is also a neighbor in the town, and he is still thinking about some old friendships. The other is that he is afraid that the seal will be conspicuous and spread and affect the business on the street. After all, tourists have recently climbed up to see the distance. It’s a good time of the year, and this is the bustling place of the town. In addition, there is no actual murderer, so we should reduce the big issue to the small one first.”

Mo Tingfeng nodded, which was reasonable.
.

The two said goodbye to the tea shop owner and came out. Song Weichen asked him softly, "What are our plans next?"

Mo Tingfeng looked at her with a smile, gently held her waist and brought her towards him. Song Weichen was embarrassed and subconsciously put his hands between the two of them, "Little lady, can I take you to see the sunset for my husband?"

Without waiting for her to answer, he leaned close to her ear and said, "Keep your acting, the tea shop owner is still watching. It's not easy to act now. Let's go back after the sun goes down. We'll stay in the restaurant first, and then go to Buzhuang to have a look at night."

Song Weichen nodded, Mo Tingfeng held her hand, and the two left intimately.

Ximanlou is halfway up the mountainside of Guiyun Mountain, about half an hour's walk from the main street of Luoyun Town. Although it's not far, the two of them didn't walk very fast because of the slope.

Halfway through the journey, Song Weichen felt her stomach begin to hurt. She was secretly worried, could the effect of the medicine wear off so soon? It's only been a few hours. Zhuang Yuheng repeatedly told him that he could only take one pill a day. In less than a day, he had already taken two pills. If this continues... When will he come back...

One of her hands was held by Mo Tingfeng, and the other hand unconsciously held her stomach to push it up. This action immediately made him see that something was wrong.

Pulling her to stand still, he asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
.

"No, I'm just a little tired from walking."

She lied. It was useless to tell him that she had a stomachache at this moment. It might also affect her plan to visit Buzhuang at night. She decided to hide it for the time being.

"How about I carry you? You can sleep against me for a while."

Song Weichen nodded and obediently let Mo Tingfeng carry her on his back. After all, they were acting like a couple.

She lay on Mo Tingfeng's back and closed her eyes to rest, and fell asleep unconsciously. He walked with her on his back, feeling both sweet and sour in his heart. She was so light that she could hardly feel the weight on his back, and she was like this after just a few more steps. He didn't know if the problem with the marks from the previous life was more serious. I hope Zhuang Yuheng can find a way to break the seal this time. He has missed her for thousands of years and really can't lose her again.
.

Soon they arrived at Ximanlou, and there were already many tourists on the terrace waiting for the sunset. He was carrying her on his back, and there were footsteps coming from his side in his direction. Mo Tingfeng guessed that it was the waiter in the store who came to greet the guests. He was afraid that The other person woke up the little person on his back, and he quickly turned his head to boo, but was stunned when he saw the person coming.
