Mysterious Old Man

ghost catcher has come to apprehend your soul" I frowned."Master, please spare me… Ugh… I… I haven't found a replacement ghost yet…" The ghost struggled desperately, its face pressed against the floor..."When the mistress still has grievances This is the first time I've heard that!" My brother sneered mercilessly.

She lowered her head again, her long hair cascading down to cover most of her cheeks. Only her blood-red lips were visible. Seeing this at night would surely frighten anyone!

Shao Yihang knew this girl was human and immediately came out from behind my brother.

He looked at the young girl and sneered, “Don't play the victim. In this world, flies only bite rotten eggs with cracks. You can't control that crack yourself, so naturally, flies come to bite. What innocence are you pretending”

...

I almost got blood splattered all over the place, Shao Yihang is such a poisonous tongue!

Was his previous image of a suave and charming young man all an act

My brother widened his eyes and turned to look at him, a glimmer of "admiration" flashing in them.

The girl buried her head lower.

"Ding..." The top floor arrived.

Goodness, this elevator ride has been quite a while. These luxury high-rise apartments are just too tall!

I stood in the elevator, looking out through the tempered glass on the wall, and I felt a little dizzy. I quickly hid back beside my brother.

My brother reached out and pulled me, glancing left and right. This building was a four-unit per flight structure, but only two units on the top floor.

These two units are super large, two-story luxury high-rise apartments.

According to Shao Yihang, the market price of this house is about over 30 million. His friend is quite wealthy, isn't he For such a wealthy family, wouldn't it be easier to just get divorced and split the assets, getting a huge sum each Why go to such extremes as jumping off a building

And... the wealthy tend to be quite open-minded. They're not likely to be crushed by a little emotional setback.

Shao Yihang previously said that this family was very bizarre and dramatic, his tone was somewhat sarcastic, not knowing what kind of story would refresh people's worldview.

"This way." Shao Yihang pointed to the big door on his left.

I habitually observe my surroundings, and see that on the burglar-proof door of the house on the right, a soft, drooping branch is tied.

I nudged my brother, gesturing for him to look at the door of that shop behind us.

That was willow branches. Now that it's winter in the north, the willow trees are only left with their twigs. There were just bundles of bare twigs tied on this door.

This stood in stark contrast to the opulent, chandelier-lit hallway and the high-tech security door.

Shao Yihang asked in bewilderment, "What are you looking at"

"What kind of people live here" my brother asked.

Shao Yihang frowned and said, "How would I know I'll ask Lao Qi later, see if he knows."

In big cities, it's normal for neighbors not to know each other. As they walked up to the door of their friend nicknamed "Lao Qi," Shaoyi Hang pressed the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door.

I took the opportunity to steal a glance at the "third wheel" who was following us with her head down.

This girl looks like a student, and even her ghost-like makeup can't hide her youthful appearance.

This is not news.

Some are a matter of each taking what they need, some are playing with fire, and so on.

This kind of situation can't be said to be right or wrong, but Shao Yihang's analogy of a fly and an egg is quite apt.

Behind the heavy, crimson wooden door stood a man with tousled hair and a scraggly beard. He looked at us through the bars of the security gate.

"You really are something else. With such a big thing happening at home, you can still be so carefree" Shao Yihang frowned.

Lao Qi looked to be in his thirties, with the air of a melancholic artist. He spoke slowly: "How can one live without getting drunk and dreaming of death How can I face this —"

Before he could finish his words, he saw "Little Three" standing behind us.

At that moment, his body jolted like being electrocuted. His eyes bulged, his face drained of color as he scrambled onto the burglar bars—

"Wife!" he growled, his voice hoarse.

We jumped back, involuntarily taking half a step away.

That little girl raised her head, revealing a most hideous grimace: "That... Qi Ge, it was me..."

Lao Qi's eyes were fixed for a few seconds, then gradually calmed down.

This expression doesn't seem very interested in this mistress either.

He opened the anti-theft door and said, “Come in…”

The room was in utter disarray. After the incident, police had come to investigate, and Lao Qi probably hadn't had the heart to tidy up. Things were scattered everywhere, with a pile of empty food containers in the kitchen.

"Lao Qi, these are the two masters from the Mu family I told you about. They're very skilled. This young lady even met the Great Elder. I gave Lao Qi a general idea of your situation, you should fill in the details." Shao Yihang introduced us to Lao Qi.

My brother reached out and shook Lao Qi's hand, then got straight to the point: "How many days have passed What exactly time did it happen"

"Four days have passed... It happened in the middle of the night. We've been having a cold war lately, so we slept in separate rooms. I had no idea she jumped. A grandfather who was out for an early morning jog saw it and called the police at dawn. That's when I found out... by then, her body was already stiff, the blood had turned into ice..." He said, shaken.

"Did she show any unusual signs before" My brother raised an eyebrow.

Lao Qi glanced at the young woman. The young woman responded, " ... Mrs. Qi and I often argue, so I'm not too sure..."

Do you often argue with him/her

So, do you two still see each other often

Shao Yihang suddenly sneered when he heard this—he definitely knew something!

My brother isn't really interested in these emotional entanglements. He shrugged and said, "Well, investigating is the police's job, so I won't ask too much. Mr. Qi, what would you like us to do Exorcism and ghost catching are my sister's forte, while house protection, warding off evil spirits, and feng shui layout are mine."

Lao Qi Zhang stared blankly, then asked, "Are you charging twice"

Pff... This guy, he's so rich yet so cheap

My brother couldn't help but laugh and said, "Just take it once, don't worry, we are kind-hearted people."

"Well... I think there's something wrong with her room. I still can't bring myself to go near it... Also, I heard that the Red Dress will turn into a vengeful ghost and return on the seventh day to seek revenge. I'm afraid she'll take it out on me..." Lao Qi's face was pale.

"Then let's go check her room first," my brother said bluntly.

The deceased homeowner, who jumped to her death, lies in the master bedroom of this luxurious mansion. The room features a walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom, making it both spacious and opulent.

“The ceiling was adorned with a cone-shaped crystal chandelier, its chaotic arrangement resembling arrows; the bathroom door and bedroom door were directly opposite each other, breaking a taboo…” I whispered to Lao Qi, but when I turned around, Lao Qi hadn’t come in at all. He stood motionless at the doorway with the mistress.

My brother smiled and said, "Forget it. Old Qi probably doesn't want to enter this room. Let's not force him, hehe..."

Heh
