Chi Yuxian walked quickly to the front yard. At this time, there was a faint sound of sobbing in the empty and dark front yard. A woman wearing a goose-yellow dress was lying on the ground. Lu Xiaofeng, who had just ran over, was half squatting. beside her.
"There's... there's a ghost!"
The woman covered her face and cried, and her clothes were stained with large amounts of blood, as if someone had died in front of her and blood was gushing out.
"Girl, don't be afraid..."
Lu Xiaofeng comforted her, and after Chi Yu walked over, Li Yilin and other people in the villa arrived belatedly.
The people who gathered around Li Yilin saw the woman's condition and screamed: "Ghost! The ghost is here again!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Li Yilin frowned slightly and sternly suppressed the discussion behind him.
During this gap, Lu Xiaofeng had already learned with difficulty what had just happened from the woman's mouth, so she asked the person next to her to help her go back to rest first.
"Is there really a ghost?"
Lu Xiaofeng smiled helplessly and said half-truthfully.
"Maybe."
Chiyu didn't say anything in detail, looking at the bloodstains on the bluestone ground with a half-smile.
"I didn't expect her to come again."
Li Yilin's face was a bit ugly, completely opposite to his usual generosity, and he even looked a little pale.
After he said that, he waved his hand: "Sorry to trouble you, it's getting late. Go get some rest quickly."
Judging from his appearance, it seemed as if he was going to expose this matter so easily. It was clear that this incident had a great impact on Hiyue Villa, but he did not take any action.
The host had already said so, and Lu Xiaofeng and Chi Yuxian didn't feel comfortable continuing.
However, according to Lu Xiaofeng's character, I'm afraid he won't let it go.
When returning to the wing, in the deep night, Lu Xiaofeng asked: "What will happen if you light up the lamp?"
Seeing his curious expression, Chi Yuxian touched his hand and rubbed his thumb on the back of his other hand: "Then give it a try."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled, and the two hit it off and returned to the room to sit on the edge of the bed.
In the darkness, two figures were vague, sitting face to face, as if they were performing some mysterious ritual.
Lu Xiaofeng took out the fire stick from her pocket and lit the lamp on the table. With a "click", the flames suddenly jumped up, and the flames swayed, illuminating two distinctive faces.
The room was extremely silent, except for the sound of burning candle wicks.
…
Nothing happened.
"Eh? Why is there no movement?"
Lu Xiaofeng touched her chin and stared at the burning lamp thoughtfully, her handsome face appropriately showing some contemplation.
Chi Yuxian, who was facing him, raised his hand to pinch the candle, then raised his eyes to look at the closed door.
The paper on the upper part of the window that was covered with paper did not reflect any "ghost shadows", not even the branches appeared.
"It's really strange. This is not at all consistent with what Brother Li said."
Lu Xiaofeng blew out the candle, waited for a moment and then lit it again. The situation was exactly the same as before, nothing happened.
Chi Yuxian smiled slightly, and his gloomy face now showed a little brightness: "It seems that there is really a ghost."
"oh?"
"People pretending to be ghosts are also ghosts."
He stood up, his waist clearly outlined in black clothes, as thin and thin as a fully drawn bow.
Lu Xiaofeng looked away from Chi Yuxian and agreed with his statement.
"Could it be him?"
Although Lu Xiaofeng didn't name the person, Chi Yuxian could guess whose name he swallowed.
Han Wenbin.
However, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't understand why the other party wanted to pretend to be a ghost in Hiyue Villa to scare people?
“Don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night.”
Chi Yuxian spoke slowly and said what Han Wenbin said to Li Yilin when they last met.
He was a little curious at the beginning, but now that he thinks about it, the other party may want to pretend to be Li Siyu's soul to break Li Yilin's spirit.
only……
Chi Yuxian suppressed the thoughts in his heart, turned around and looked at Lu Xiaofeng who was thoughtful behind him: "What do you want to do next?"
"Of course we caught the pretender." Lu Xiaofeng shrugged.
It was getting late, so Chi Yuxian lowered his head slightly and yawned: "I wish you success."
It sounded like he didn't intend to help.
But Lu Xiaofeng didn't care.
After Chi Yuxian said goodbye, he went back to his room to rest and wrote down what happened today as usual.
After sending the letter, he opened today's reply and checked it.
No matter how smart the system or program is, it cannot predict human emotions. This is what Chi Yuxian has always felt.
But when the reply unfolded in front of him, he was shocked to find that the speculation about the matter in the reply was similar to his current thoughts.
The idea was slightly wavered at first, but Chi Yuxian's face quickly turned cold.
It's just a guess.
He hummed softly, and his face hidden in the darkness seemed to freeze.
In the darkness, the gloomy young man in black seemed to be furious, and he closed the light screen that appeared in front of him with a bit of resentment in his movements, and then fell back.
Chi Yuxian closed his eyes and pulled the quilt to cover the lower half of his face, looking like he was already asleep.
*
Early the next morning, there was the sound of the door opening in the wing next door.
Lu Xiaofeng, who was wearing light-colored clothes, stood on the corridor and stretched, then looked at the burning maple forest not far away and sighed secretly.
He lowered his head and smiled, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Tuk-tuk."
Lu Xiaofeng stood in front of the closed door and knocked on the door: "Brother Chi, are you up?"
"No!"
After a while, a sleepy voice came from the room.
In the room, the person lying on the bed stretched out his hands, grabbed the quilt and covered his head, deceiving himself: "Don't call me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he became quiet again.
Lu Xiaofeng outside the door was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing - she didn't expect Brother Chi, who seemed to be rational and calm, to do such a thing as staying in bed.
He shook his head, but did not continue to disturb Chi Yu to catch up on his sleep, and went out alone.
When Chi Yu woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes, the sunlight outside had already passed through the window and fell on the bedside.
It's getting late.
He yawned and stood up, feeling completely uninspired.
However, he is often not energetic, which is normal.
As soon as he opened the door, a gust of cold wind hit him, and only then did Chi Yuxian feel that autumn had arrived.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't know where he was going. Half asleep, he seemed to remember the other party knocking on his door.
I vaguely remember answering in a clear and polite manner, well, that should be it.
Chi Yuxian took the umbrella and headed towards the maple forest. Along the way, he met many servants who were busy.
It's just that the recent hauntings in the villa have made everyone panic. When they first saw Chi Yuxian, who had a gloomy temperament and was holding an umbrella on a sunny day, everyone's face showed a little fear.
Fortunately, he didn't take this kind of thing to heart, but pretended that nothing happened and asked the maids something about the owner's wife.
Lin Siyu lives up to her name, with a bit of gentleness from the south of the Yangtze River. She is also humble and courteous in her behavior, and she has always been gentle and gentle in her treatment of her servants.
It's just that the other party has been bedridden since marrying to Hiyue Villa and rarely goes out. For this reason, Li Yilin transplanted many maple trees in the Villa.
After going around in a circle, Chi Yuxian had some understanding of the deceased Lin Siyu, but he still didn't understand why Han Wenbin firmly believed that Li Siyu was killed by Li Yilin.
The wind blew loudly in the maple forest, blowing many maple leaves down and falling into a thick layer on the ground. You can still hear the crisp sound of the leaves breaking when you step on them.
Chi Yuxian bent down and picked up a few red and purple maple leaves, and walked back slowly and leisurely.
He had no talent for handling cases. After he returned and told Lu Xiaofeng the news he had just learned, he would completely rely on him.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and when he was almost walking to the wing, the person standing on the corridor not far away was the Lu Xiaofeng whom he had just thought of.
"Brother Chi finally woke up."
Lu Xiaofeng also saw him, turned around and joked: "I was thinking about knocking on Brother Chi's door just now."
"Been up for a while."
Chi Yuxian walked over and told Lu Xiaofeng what he had just learned. Finally, he asked: "What do you think?"
"To be fair, Brother Chi, I roughly understand it now."
Lu Xiaofeng looked at him with a smile, looking confident. However, after the other party said this, he sighed again and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that there would be a day when I don't recognize people clearly."
This sentence is interesting. Li Yilin and Han Wenbin are both his friends. I wonder who is behind the scenes?
"Don't Mr. Han just want Lin Siyu's body back?"
At this time, Chi Yuxian thought of what Li Yilin said: "In that case, why do you have to go to all the trouble to pretend to be a ghost and scare people?"
Lu Xiaofeng shook her head after hearing his question. Did she not know or didn't want to tell?
The autumn wind rustled, and looking out the window, it looked a bit more desolate.
Chi Yu gathered his clothes leisurely, and his sharp eyebrows and starry eyes matched the current scenery.
Lu Xiaofeng, who was standing behind him, slowly suppressed his smile and stared at the other person's back thoughtfully.
This look could not be called hidden, so Chi Yuxian quickly noticed it: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Lu Xiaofeng laughed, "I just think Brother Chi is very interesting."
"interesting?"
Chi Yuxian turned around and looked back at Lu Xiaofeng in surprise.
He considers himself a boring person, and this is the first time someone has called him interesting.
"Um."
Lu Xiaofeng nodded seriously: "I always feel like I get to know a different Brother Chi every day."
He said slowly, and then seemed to think of something and couldn't help laughing.
Seeing this, Chi Yuxian asked him patiently.
Lu Xiaofeng raised her hand to cover her lips: "I have a friend who is two different people from Brother Chi."
"oh?"
A red maple leaf fell on Chi Yuxian's shoulder. The perfect contrast between red and black was unexpectedly eye-catching.
“He can see right through him and it’s very comfortable and relaxing to be around him.”
After listening to his description, Chi Yuxian seemed to be able to guess who his friend was.
