The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 65 Death of Li Shiyi

Wen Jiu allowed Zi Su to help him wash and change clothes, but his tears couldn't stop falling.

Didn't you feel anything about what happened last night?
  Wen Jiu stood up quickly and walked to the incense burner, "What kind of incense did you light last night?"

"It's Zitanxiang brought from home, but what's the problem?"

"What about the tea?" Wen Jiu stared at the pot of tea on the table. He seemed to have drank a lot of the tea before going to bed last night.
  "Tea. The tea is from the academy. The girl said the day before yesterday that she was tired of the tea she brought. Yesterday, she thought about changing the tea from the academy to give her a different taste."

Wen Jiu opened the teapot and smelled it carefully. There seemed to be no problem.

But what went wrong? It rained heavily last night, and there couldn't be any movement next door. How could I sleep so deeply? It's unreasonable.
  Wen Jiu looked around the room. He must have missed something. It must be
  "Miss Wen, Master Chen, please come over."

Auntie's voice came from the door. She turned her head and a cold light flashed in her eyes. It was she who asked Li Shiyi to go back to her room to rest yesterday.
  If it were her.
  "The girl's face is really ugly, do you want some rouge?"

"No need." Wen Jiu opened the door with a sullen face, the chill in his eyes was actually colder than this rainy winter.

When she passed Li Shiyi's room, there were already guards guarding the door.

Looking across the room, Li Shiyi's soul was not in the room.

Wen Jiu was shocked, what do you mean?
  Mr. Li and Mrs. Li staggered in from the courtyard door in the rain.

How unfortunate it is for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person away!
  She walked into the room where Chen Shu was sitting numbly, her eyes dull, which made Chen Shu feel sour in his heart.

"But you were scared?" Chen Shu originally asked her to ask questions, but his concern showed first.

"I have asked people to cover up Miss Li's body, so you don't have to be too panicked."

"Yes." Wen Jiu felt inexplicably aggrieved after hearing Chen Shu's voice, and tears fell down his cheeks like broken beads.

Every drop of heat made Chen Shu's heart ache.

"If you are sad, please sit down for a while."

Chen Shu took out the handkerchief from his sleeve. The color was as deep and steady as the clothes he wore all year round.

"My lord, please ask." Wen Jiu took the handkerchief and held it in his hand, looking downcast and looking lost.

"Did you hear any strange noises last night?"

Chen Shu softened his voice. Although this was business, this was the first time that he allowed himself to have his own way.

"No, I slept so deeply last night that I seemed to have passed out." Wen Jiu answered truthfully.

"Comed out?"

"Yes, Sir, could you please let someone check my room? I suspect someone drugged my room."

Wen looked at Chen Shu for a long time and said his guess, "But the fragrant tablets were brought from home, and I didn't find anything unusual about the tea. I don't know what's wrong, but I always feel like something has been overlooked."

Chen Shu saw that Wen Jiu was in a hurry, so he patiently reassured him: "I will send people to check every room here carefully. Just tell me slowly, don't worry, I will definitely investigate the case clearly."

"Perhaps the two things are mixed together?" Wen Jiu frowned with a solemn expression.

"Is there anything different about Miss Li these days? Is there any enmity with others?" Wen Jiu pondered for a moment and said word by word: "These days, she always says that she hears cats meowing at night, but What the rest of us didn't hear was that she seemed to be afraid of cats."

She paused for a while and then spoke with some difficulty: "Last night she came to rest with me, saying that the cat's meowing kept her awake for several nights, but grandma said that she had caught the cat. Although I felt strange, I still... Let her go back."

Thinking of this, Wen Jiu's emotions fluctuated again, "If I had kept her, would the ending be different? It must be yes, she would definitely not die. If I had kept her,"

"Miss Wen does not need to blame herself. Since the murderer wants to kill Miss Li, no matter where she is, the murderer will have the opportunity to do it. He can stun you to kill you, or he can kill you to kill you."

Chen Shu's words awakened Wen Jiu.

She boasts that she has martial arts skills and is a rare ghost hunter in the world. During the time she came back, she actually forgot that sometimes the living are more terrifying than the dead. If the person the other party wanted to kill last night was herself, then she would be killed today. It is not an exaggeration to say that the one covered with white cloth is himself.
  "Girl, please go back to the house first. I will definitely investigate this case and get to the bottom of it, and put an end to this girl's worries."

Wen Jiu looked at Chen Shu, who had a soft look on his face, and seemed a little strange. In the past, he always kept a straight face and kept everyone away. But today, it seemed different.

"Master Chen, if there is anything you need help with, I will definitely tell you."

But it was impossible to go back. Before she could figure out why Li Shiyi had no soul after his death, she had to sneak back here even if she returned home.

Wen Jiu pushed open the door of his room and saw that Zisu had already packed his things.

"Girl, grandma said that this place should be left for Mr. Chen to investigate the case. Let's go back to the house and wait for news."

"it is good."

Wen Jiu didn't say much. It would be most appropriate to leave the investigation to those who specialize in investigating the case.

So he withdrew and left, leaving the last girl who wanted to be questioned outside the door.

Wen Jiu lowered his head and left without seeing the face of the visitor clearly.

The winter rain turns cold and never stops.

Girls from all the families stood under the eaves, watching the rainwater hanging from the eaves, as silent as a cicada.

It turned out that the carriage was waiting for someone, and they always waited in the room until the carriage stopped before coming out.

But now that someone has died in that courtyard, or it was a mysterious death, who dares to stay in that courtyard for a moment longer!
  "What bad luck!" As soon as Wen Jiu stepped out of the academy threshold, he heard a harsh voice.

Her eyes instantly glanced over, and Liu Yue was so frightened that she took a step back.

"Who are you calling unlucky?"

Wen Jiu's voice was a little too calm, with an indescribable aura.

"Yue'er!" Zhang Jin subconsciously stopped her.

At this time, Wen Jiu's eyes were red and swollen and his face was pale. At first glance, he was sad for Li Shiyi's death. If Liu Yue started trouble at this time, she couldn't imagine what Wen Jiu would do.
  "What I said are all facts!" Liu Yue pinched the handkerchief in his hand and glared at Wen Jiu fearlessly: "She was on good terms with Miss Li. Miss Li just went to see her the night before. The next day If she dies unexpectedly, who will be unlucky if she is not unlucky?"

Wen Jiu's head banged, he took a deep breath and walked quickly to Liu Yue. The two were extremely close.

She was already much taller than Liu Yue, but now with her full aura, the two of them stood face to face, completely trampling Liu Yue under her feet.
