Chapter 22: The Apartment is Haunted

◎Forcing a certain dark-skinned detective to sleep with him◎

At 12 o'clock in the evening in the Mihua Apartment community, most of the houses are dark, but there is only one house that is brightly lit and particularly conspicuous.

Center of the living room

Mu'an Jiaxi held a broom as a shield, adopting a defensive posture, carefully checking every corner of the room, leaving no one untouched. Her brow furrowed with tension throughout, her nerves so tense that she even checked under the sofa.

But she still didn't find anything. Once people calm down, they will think about all sorts of things. Coupled with what happened just now, Mu'an Jiaxi felt that the room was not clean. There were many invisible brothers and sisters around her now.

The more he thought about it, the more creepy and terrifying it became. Mu An Jia Xi kept pacing the living room, clasping his hands together and begging, "Everyone, visible and invisible, please be kind and stop scaring me. I really can't stand being startled. Tomorrow I will burn paper and pray for you. I only beg you to leave my house so I can sleep peacefully."

As soon as the words fell, the voice came out again, "Woo..."

Mu An Jia Xi was so frightened that he dropped the broom and jumped onto the sofa, "Oh my god, oh my god, there's a ghost!!!"

She curled up on the sofa, clasped her hands together, and kept bowing to the surroundings, "Brother, sister, if you have any requests, just tell me. I will try my best to satisfy you. I only ask that you please be in a good mood and stop scaring me."

“Woo… woo… woo…”

As if responding to her, the voice came out as soon as she finished speaking.

Mu An Jiaxi wanted to cry but had no tears. "Brother and sister, can you please speak human language? I don't understand."

“Woo…”

"Oh, I'm dying, I'm dying, this room is not clean."

In the middle of the night, Mu'an Jiaxi wanted to run away but didn't know where to go. He had nowhere else to go and was forced to stay in the same room with the ghost. Mu'an Jiaxi negotiated with him, "Brother and sister, I'll stay here tonight. Let's not get close to each other. Tomorrow I'll ask a monk to pray for your souls and burn paper for you. Please let's spend a good night together. Don't make any noise and don't come out. I'll stay here and not disturb anyone. Is that okay?"

“Woo…”

"I'll take that as your agreement."

“Woo…”

In this way, Mu'an Jiaxi curled up on the sofa and stayed with the ghost all night. At dawn the next morning, Mu'an Jiaxi saw the sun and became bolder. He searched the room inside and out and checked more carefully.

However, he never expected that during the inspection, he would get an unexpected surprise, or you could say it was an unexpected shock, a shocking shock. Mu An Jiaxi found a bug under the coffee table.

A black object was stuck under the coffee table. If she hadn't been looking for ghosts this time, she probably wouldn't have found it. Mu'an Jiaxi was furious when she saw it, but she calmed down in a second.

She kept thinking about who installed this thing and when. She remembered that it was not there when Sudi cleaned on her last day. Because Sudi was a bit of a germaphobe, she would move the furniture away and wipe it with a rag every time she cleaned, including this coffee table, so she remembered it so clearly.

Then it must have been installed the night before yesterday, the night after the mission was completed. Since she was up all night last night, it couldn't have been installed yesterday. It could only have been installed the night before yesterday after the mission was completed. It's easy to guess, Amuro Toru, the night before yesterday, it must have been him.

The notebook she left on the hood of his car that day must have made him suspicious, which is why he installed a bug in her house.

Mu'an Jiaxi felt disgusted no matter how he looked at this thing, and he also laughed out of anger. Maybe he shouldn't have given the notebook to him. Now the eavesdropping device has been installed in his house.

Mu'an Jiaxi didn't want to take it down, he just wanted to restore it to its original place. After all, he now knew where his thing was, and he had some idea of ​​it. If he took it down, he was afraid that he would install a dozen more in places where he couldn't see them in the future. It was better to pretend that he didn't notice it.

Mu'an Jiaxi took the key, walked out of the door and headed outside the community.

When passing by a convenience store, he bought a loaf of bread for breakfast. He originally wanted to find Xiaolan and the others and ask them to take him in for one night, but when he arrived at their door and knocked for a long time, no one answered. Mu'an Jiaxi had to go downstairs first.

At this time, Poirot Café was already open for business. Xiao Zi was cleaning the door. Seeing her coming down from upstairs, she reminded her, "Miss Jia Xi, are you here to look for Mr. Mao Li and his family? They're out on a case and haven't returned yet. I don't think they'll be back tonight. I heard it's quite far away."

"Oh, no wonder no one answered the door after I knocked for so long."

Mu'an Jiaxi thought there was nowhere else to go, so he simply went into the Poirot Cafe, thinking to himself: You want to monitor me, right? Then I will hang around under your nose and let you monitor me to your heart's content.

Mu'an Jiaxi took the menu handed to him by Amuro Toru, opened it and took a look, then ordered a few items at random. While waiting, Mu'an Jiaxi made a phone call.

The call was answered quickly, and Muan Jiaxi's face lit up with joy, "Hello, Natsume, how are you doing recently?"

On the other end of the line, a male voice replied, "It's okay. How about you, Sister Jia Xi?"

"As for me, that's all."

Natsume Takashi paused for a few seconds and said, "Sister Jia Xi, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Having his thoughts seen through, Mu An Jiaxi was not embarrassed at all, "You are really smart, it's like this..."

Mu'an Jiaxi recounted what happened last night, and his story was as vivid as a storyteller, with expressive voices, thrilling scenes, and fear-inducing moments, as if he had experienced a life-and-death escape.

Natsume Takashi on the opposite side couldn't help but interrupt her, "Um, sister, did you find the wrong person? I'm not a wizard, I can't exorcise ghosts."

"You've been seeing weird things since you were little, right? This is pretty much the same. Come and help me take a look. You know, I was really scared last night and couldn't sleep the whole night."

"I, sister..."

Mu'an Jiaxi tried his best to act coquettishly and said, "Natsume, please help me."

"Well, okay, but I really can't exorcise ghosts."

Mu An Jiaxi said nonchalantly, "It's fine if you can come. Tomorrow, I will definitely come tomorrow."

At this time, Mu'an Jiaxi was just trying to save the situation, as long as he came.

When he thought of the things at home, Mu An Jiaxi shuddered unconsciously and uttered, "Huh~"

At this time, Amuro Toru came over with a plate, placed the food in front of her, and said with a smile: "Miss Muan, please enjoy your meal."

Instead of walking away, he asked, "Ms. Mu'an, I just heard you on the phone. Did something happen at home? Do you need my help?"

Mu An Jia Xi took a bite of the cake and heard what he said, "It's haunted. I don't know what happened last night, but my house was suddenly haunted. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep the whole night."

"It's haunted." Amuro Toru frowned.

"Yes, Mr. Amuro, I don't think you can solve this kind of problem. I have found someone and he will be here tomorrow." As he said that, Mu'an Jiaxi took another bite of cake. Although he was talking to him, his mouth did not stop at all.

"Oh, who is it?"

"A younger brother of my neighbor."

"Oh." Toru Amuro didn't say anything else and went back behind the bar.

Mu'an Jiaxi stayed in the store until the evening because she knew the two people and there were not many people in the store today. Even though she occupied a seat, no one came to drive her away.

It was almost 10 o'clock in the evening and the store was about to close. Toru Amuro was doing the final finishing work and Xiaozi was cleaning. Muan Jiaxi was tactful enough to leave the store so as not to interfere with their work.

He just wandered around the door and didn't leave.

Xiao Zi in the store mopped the last bit of the floor, washed the mop, and put it back in the utility room. Amuro Toru also finished washing the last cup. Seeing Xiao Zi just coming out, he said, "Miss Zi, you go first. I'll close the door."

Xiao Zi was not polite, "Then I'll go first, Mr. Amuro, see you tomorrow."

Amuro Toru said gently, "See you tomorrow."

Afterwards, Xiao Zi went out and was surprised to see Mu'an Jiaxi lingering at the door and not leaving yet. "Miss Jiaxi, why haven't you left yet? Is there something wrong?"

Mu'an Jiaxi waved his hands, "It's okay, I..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a voice, "Miss Xiaozi, please go first. I have something to talk to her about."

Xiao Zi immediately gave an expression that said, "I understand," and left quickly.

Mu'an Jiaxi looked at her back, wanting to say something but stopping himself, wondering if she had misunderstood.

After locking the door, Amuro Toru looked at Muan Jiaxi who was still standing there and said, "Let me take you home. It's not safe for a girl to walk alone at night."

Upon hearing this, Mu'an Jiaxi immediately shook his head like a wave drum, "I'm not going back, I'm not going back."

Amuro Toru put the key in his pocket and said, "If you don't go back, then where are you going? I'll find you a hotel to stay in first."

Mu'an Jiaxi looked at him and said hesitantly, "Can I stay at your house for just one night?"

Amuro Toru refused without hesitation, "You, a girl, actually proposed to live in the home of a man you don't even know well. Do you have any sense of security? What if I'm a bad guy? Then you'll be in danger."

"I have no other options. I was thinking of staying at Xiaolan's house, but they happened to be out. I don't know anyone here except you guys, so I really have nowhere else to go. How about you be so kind as to take me in for the night?"

There was no way Toru Amuro would take her back to his home. "I'll take you to a hotel and you can stay there for one night."

"Then could you stay with me for one night?"

"Ms. Mu'an, you really have no sense of security."

"I was really scared last night and I don't dare to live alone."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Mu'an Jiaxi suddenly became tough and said, "Either I go to your house, or you stay with me in the hotel for one night. You choose one."
