Chapter 66 New Discovery
  Wen Jiu stared at Liu Yue, gritted his teeth and said: "I can treat everything you did in the past as if it never happened, but today, you have been in the same circle with your playmate since childhood, your classmate, your father, brother and colleagues. A woman died here, but you didn’t ask the truth and just poured dirty water on others.”

She sneered: "Liu Yue, I thought you were just stupid, but it turns out you are bad! So bad!"

"I didn't, what are you talking about!" Liu Yue was so frightened by the seeping anger of the person in front of him that he broke into a cold sweat, but he still bravely retorted.

"I said, from today on, if you do anything dirty, you'd better hide it tightly and don't let me discover it. If you fall into my hands, I will definitely not let you go!"

Liu Yue swayed slightly, and her mind suddenly went blank. She always felt that Wen Jiu would keep his word.

Zhang Jin stood aside with his eyes lowered. If Liu Yue hadn't been of some use, he would have abandoned her long ago for such a fool.

The carriage rumbled along the official road, the sky was dark, few people were walking on the street, and most of the vendors had already packed up their stalls and gone back.

Wen Jiu sat in the car with his eyes closed. There was no liveliness at all along the way. He couldn't hear the shouts and hawking, and it was quite deserted outside.

After a smooth journey, the carriage arrived at the Wen Mansion. Zi Su got out of the carriage carefully, opened the tung oil umbrella and waited beside the carriage.

"Jiu'er." Wen Jiucai emerged from the carriage, and Wen's mother went to greet him.

She heard that Miss Li, who died mysteriously, was quite close to Wen Jiu, and since they were in two rooms next to each other, Wen Jiu's temperament made it inevitable for him to blame himself.

Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still in the courtyard. The weather outside the house made her feet cold, but she kept waiting at the door.

"Mother." Wen Jiu looked up and saw Wen's mother coming down the steps with a worried look on her face. Her nose felt sore and her eyes turned red uncontrollably.

"It's okay, it's okay." Mother Wen took Wen Jiu's cold hand, "Why are your hands so cold? Are you wearing less clothes? Go back to the house quickly."

She told the maid behind her: "Go and see if the ginger tea is ready, and send it to the girl's room quickly."

Only then did Wen Jiu feel that the wind passing through the door was so cold. She couldn't help but shudder, and her shoulders shrank unconsciously.

"Thank you, mother." Wen Jiu's voice was muffled, as if he had just cried.

"Go in first." Mother Wen hugged her lovingly. How could a mother not know her daughter.

The lights in the room were bright and the stove was burning brightly.

Before Wen Jiu got home a while ago, Wen's mother had ordered someone to burn the stove in her room.

Seeing her drinking the ginger tea in one sip, her face looked much better.

"Are you feeling better?" Wen Muping retreated and drank half a bowl of ginger tea with Wen Jiu before asking softly.

"Yes." Wen Jiu nodded, "Is the winter in Beijing always so cold?"

She was suddenly curious. In previous years, she would come back a few days ago, and she would go back to Qingyun Mountain within a few days. She had never experienced the cold winter in Beijing, and she didn't expect it to be so heartbreakingly cold.

Mother Wen stroked her head distressedly, "You'll be fine in a few days, Jiu'er."

You just feel sad and sad right now.

Wen Jiu sniffed, looked at Mother Wen and said, "I have to go out frequently these days. If I'm not in the room, mother doesn't have to worry."

"Do you want to find out the cause of Miss Li's death?" Although Mother Wen knew what was going on, she still asked.

Wen Jiu frowned slightly, and the image of the doorway he passed by Li Shiyi's room when he woke up in the morning came to his mind. There was no trace of ghost inside.

After most people die, their souls stay for a few days, waiting for someone to pick them up.

But she couldn't sense any of Li Shiyi's aura. "In short, she died in a strange way, and my daughter is suspicious. This person knew that his daughter was pretending to be sick from beginning to end, so he knocked her out before taking action."

"What? Stun?" Mother Wen stood up in shock when she heard these two words, "Did I just stun you? Could it be that I gave you other medicine that has not yet taken effect?"

She quickly pulled Wen Jiu up and examined it carefully, "No, call the doctor immediately."

Wen Jiu's eyes suddenly raised: "You just stunned me but didn't kill me?"

If Zhang Jin was not stunned in the room on the other side of Li Shiyi, it means that this person was guarding against her.

The murderer was already planning to kill someone, so why didn't he kill her as well but just stun her?
  Don't want to kill? Or do you mean you can't kill him?

If it’s the former, it might be a human; if it’s the latter, it must be a ghost!
  But the ghost hunting order didn't light up.

She has a lot of talismans on her body and is protected by her master's spiritual talismans. Ordinary evil spirits cannot get close to her at all.
  After having some dinner, Wen Jiu looked out the window. The sky outside was getting darker.

Lamps were lit everywhere in Wen's mansion. Dad was sent to the palace and has not come back yet.

Wen Jiu was wearing a red cloak, holding an umbrella in his bare hands, and walked out of the back door slowly.

There was no sound of anyone in the alley, and it seemed oppressive and dead.

As soon as she turned around, she saw another carriage parked at the end of the alley.

Once familiar, she knew this was Lu Xu's carriage.

She walked around the deep water and finally reached the carriage.

"Sir." She stood beside the carriage and called in a low voice, as if she didn't see Lou Wu's gesture inviting her to get in the carriage.

"Why don't you get in the car?" Lu Xu's voice
  "I'm afraid that I'm being targeted now. That person is hiding something while I'm hiding it. Sir, it's better to keep some distance from me."

"Being targeted?" Lu Xu quickly opened the curtain.

Although the night was dark, Lu Xu could see Wen Jiu clearly.

Although she was pale in the past, she just had a bad complexion and would not be as uglier than a ghost as she is today.

"I moved my hands after someone stunned me."

Wen Jiu took advantage of the break when Wen's mother left to go to the academy. She avoided the guards and went into her room. She checked carefully and found that there were some cyan or black particles on the ground.

She looked up and saw that the tiles there seemed to have been moved.
  "Sir, there are a lot of cat footprints here!"

A man's voice came from next door. It seemed to be a new discovery. The voice was unconsciously loud.

Wen Jiu's expression condensed. If Li Shiyi died in the room and died in a miserable state, the sound would definitely be louder than this.

She gently opened the window and took a peek outside. When she saw no one, she quickly climbed up on the eaves. The cat hid for a moment and flew up to the roof.

The tiles were a little slippery due to the rain, but I have to say that the rain was an excellent cover.

The sound of her stepping on the tiles was mixed with the sound of rain, so no one in the house would notice.

Wen Jiu roughly judged the location of the tiles in the room just now, and when he got closer, he saw that the tiles here were indeed loose.
  Why is this?
  Wen Jiu straightened up slightly and closed his eyes as if he sensed something.
