I work as a housekeeper in Guilou

Chapter 19 A Family’s Funeral ()

Hearing the short-haired boy's conjecture, Xia Qimiao did not make any comment, but just asked: "Can I take a look?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the middle-aged woman take a step back. It was obvious that the thing was on her body, but she was unwilling to give it to her.

"Sorry." The short-haired boy also noticed her reaction and chose to respect his teammates' decision.

Xia Qimiao thought it was quite interesting. Instead of asking for it, she changed the question: "Does it have today's date on it?"

Neither of them seemed to notice this. The middle-aged woman took a look at her cell phone from her pocket and shook her head.

The boy added: "The message records are quite confusing and there is no clear timeline."

"I don't have any other information... By the way, be careful. Those two people seem to be planning to get rid of your incense ashes after you go back to your room to sleep."

"Okay," Xia Qimiao returned the favor, "Be careful under the bed."

The short-haired boy immediately squatted down to look under the bed. The middle-aged woman was a little slow, but she quickly followed.

Xia Qimiao went out and saw the door next door opened, and Xiao Yang leaning on the door frame, as if waiting for her to come out.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the door on the other side, and his expression changed after hearing it.

Regardless of what he wanted to say, Xia Qimiao went straight to open the door.

"It's time for you to sleep -"

Mother-in-law Zhang's eyes became cloudier than before.

Xia Qimiao smiled: "Mother-in-law, would you like to reconsider my previous proposal? I have a clue."

"It's time for you to sleep -"

She repeated it without changing her tune.

Xia Qimiao glanced at the clock on the wall before pointing to nine: "If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time."

Xiaobai watched this man having a "happy chat" with his mother-in-law, who was suspected of being a monster, and seemed to have given her something.

Her eyes widened, and she felt secret admiration and envy. If only she could be so bold and strong.

"Go back to sleep." Xia Qimiao took out the incense ash and scattered it on the corridor in front of the door.

Zhang's mother-in-law followed in. She stepped on the incense ashes without leaving a single footprint. Under her supervision, the other two teams could only follow the instructions. Although Xiao Yang was unwilling to give in, there was nothing he could do.

"No matter what noise you hear at night, don't come out." She said these words and left.

Xiaobai consciously made the bed and smoothed the sheets: "Sister, what if they do something bad?"

"I'm here."

Xia Qimiao took out the status from the warehouse and felt much relieved.

"Are you going to stay up until half the night or the rest of the night?"

Xiaobai struggled for a while: "I want to sleep first."

"Okay," Xia Qimiao touched the arm crossbow and sat down on the side of the closet, "Go to sleep, I will call you when the guard changes."

"Thank you, sister." Xiaobai was lying with her clothes on. The light from the roof was slightly dazzling, but it gave her a sense of security.

She couldn't sleep and wanted to hear other voices to soothe her nerves, so she looked for a topic: "Do you think it was really the husband who cheated and killed his wife and children?"

She looked at her sister's face and knew she had asked the wrong question.

"think."

She was told that it didn't work out of her mind again, and she didn't even call her name this time.

Xiaobai despised his own incompetence in his heart. He recalled the scene just now and the previous information. As he thought about it, he gradually relaxed and fell into sleep.

Regarding this issue, Xia Qimiao decided to maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

No, she actually already had a bias in her mind, which was negative. Otherwise, she would not wait and see, but would follow this clue to reason.

On the one hand, this information is mixed with too much subjective conjecture; on the other hand...

A small cry reached Xia Qimiao's ears, startling her.
