When the door closed, Bai Yin remained expressionless.
He did not know what Li Wenshu was thinking, nor did he know that she had almost mistaken him for someone else.
He sat down opposite Song Zhi, his eyes cold.
Song Zhi heard everything that they said to him outside the door.
Song Zhi looked up. "So Young Master Ji is not here."
"Yes, he went out. He won't be back so soon."
"Oh." Song Zhi asked again, "Then what did he do?"
Bai Yin took a deep breath and drank some water. "It's all because of you. My young master is so desperate to find the murderer that he doesn't even want to eat or drink."
Song Zhi felt guilty. "I'm really sorry."
"If you feel sorry, then hurry back."
"What about Zhang Xiaobai?"
"If he didn't kill anyone, my young master will definitely not let anything happen to him. So, you don't have to beg him."
"That's good." Song Zhi finally heaved a sigh of relief. He stood up and bowed to Bai Yin. "Then I thank you, warrior. It's already so late, I won't disturb you any further."
"Mm." Bai Yin nodded.
Song Zhi left.
"Wait." Bai Yin suddenly called out to him.
"Warrior, do you have any instructions?"
"Go down and ask the waiter to bring two bottles of good wine."
"Alright." Song Zhi readily agreed. "But what kind of wine do you want to drink?"
"The waiter knows."
"Oh."
After Song Zhi left, he immediately informed the waiter. "How much is the wine?"
"One tael of silver."
One tael!
To Song Zhi, this was a lot of money.
But to express his gratitude, he took out his remaining tael and handed it to the waiter. "Treat this wine as my treat to that young master."
With that, he left.
After leaving the inn, the cold wind howled.
Song Zhi crossed his arms and went home.
...
On the other side.
After Ji Yunshu said "graveyard", she went to the outskirts of Yiwu with Jing Rong and Li the Fuss.
At this moment, the sky was already dark.
The outskirts were so dark that one couldn't even see their own fingers in front of them.
Moreover, the surroundings were eerie. Occasionally, they could hear the frightening sound of the wind blowing through the bushes.
It sent a chill down their spines.
The three of them walked along the forest path.
Each of them carried a lantern in their hands.
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong were in front, while Li Cheng was at the back.
Li Cheng was usually very playful, but he was not very courageous.
He lowered his voice and asked the two people in front of him, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Is there anything you want to find here? "
Ji Yunshu wanted to say something, but Jing Rong interrupted her. Without turning his head, he said to Li Cheng, "Of course I'm here to look for something."
"Looking for what?"
"What do you think is here?"
"There's a ghost here."
"That's right, I'm here to look for ghosts."
Uh.
Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened.
His footsteps paused for a moment.
But he immediately chased after her.
"Are you joking?"
"No one is joking with you. If you're afraid, it's not too late to go back now." "Go back now?" Li Cheng looked behind him. The road back was very long, and he really didn't dare to walk alone. He swallowed his saliva and hurriedly caught up with them. He stuck closely to Jing Rong's side and said, "You guys are really strange. What kind of ghost are you looking for here? The most important thing now is …
To find the murderer. "
Ji Yunshu heard him and replied, "We're here to find the murderer."
Her voice was very soft.
But it was enough for Li Cheng to hear.
He was surprised. "You mean … the murderers are the ghosts?"
"Maybe."
"Maybe? What do you mean by maybe? If it is, then it is. If it isn't, then it isn't. "
Ji Yunshu was too lazy to reply to him.
Jing Rong was too lazy to reply.
Li Cheng continued to say, "You guys previously said that there are no ghosts in this world, and that the ones who cause trouble are all humans. Why is there a ghost in the blink of an eye? This prince is almost confused by you guys. "
"…"
Still, no one replied to him.
Soon, the three of them reached the deepest part of the forest.
The light from the lantern illuminated the area bit by bit.
They could barely see the scene a few meters in front of them.
When the lantern shone, Li Cheng was almost scared out of his wits.
His hand trembled, and the lantern fell to the ground. He immediately picked it up.
Because this place … was full of graves.
"Why did we come to a place like this in the middle of the night? Let's go, let's go. "He took a few steps back, and his expression was extremely ugly.
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong treated him as if he was invisible and didn't care about him at all.
The two of them searched the graves for a while, and finally stopped in front of a grave.
The tombstone in front of the grave had the words "Deceased Wife, Zhao Zhuanger" written on it!
Wang Jun had made this for her. It was strange. Zhao Zhuanger was the lady boss of the Zhao family's rouge shop, and she had plenty of money. Logically speaking, after her death, her grave should have been extremely well-built, and it should have been in an isolated area with good feng shui. But her grave was very simple, and it was even in the middle of a pile of graves. Where was this?
This was the grave of a rich person, and it was no different from that of a poor commoner.
After she left, not only did Wang Jun embezzle her money, but he also dumped her bones in this kind of place.
Jing Rong's expression was solemn as he looked at the soil behind the grave. He said, "It was indeed dug up by someone, and the soil is loose."
Ji Yunshu looked at it, and brought the lantern in her hand closer. Finally, she placed the lantern next to the pile of soil. She squatted down, put on the gloves she had prepared, and began to rummage through the soil.
No one knew what she wanted to do.
Jing Rong could only accompany her.
He brought the lantern in his hand closer.
Li Cheng looked at the two of them strangely.
He didn't understand, and even felt that the woman was too perverted to come so late at night to dig up the soil on someone else's grave.
After a long time.
Finally —
Ji Yunshu found what she was looking for.
A tree leaf.
The leaf had already wilted.
She plucked a leaf, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and put it in her sleeve.
Suddenly —
A shadow flashed through the bushes behind them.
It was very fast.
Like the wind.
When Jing Rong heard the movement, he wanted to give chase.
But Ji Yunshu immediately stopped him. "Don't chase, I know who it is."
Huh?
Jing Rong and Li Cheng looked at her simultaneously.
"Who?"
She picked up the lantern on the ground and walked towards the bushes where the movement came from. Jing Rong and Li Cheng followed behind her.
She said, "Blow out the lantern."
Everyone did as they were told.
But after the lantern was blown out, they found some glowing phosphorescence in the bushes.
A little bit, not much.
Li Cheng asked, "Why is there such a thing?"
Ji Yunshu frowned. She was silent for a moment, and then said, "Because I sprinkled it on that person."
"You sprinkled it? What do you mean? "Li Cheng asked.
But Jing Rong understood. He asked, "So, you knew who it was long ago? And you knew that person would follow us. "
