Chapter 4 Psychic Communication

Chu Ci: "..."

He Lihua didn't die, and neither did her husband. Whose spirit are they communicating with?

"system?"

She called out softly.

"Whose spirit are you communicating with?"

The system acted as if it were dead, completely ignoring her.

He Lihua, on the other hand, quickly wiped away her tears when she saw a stranger approaching. "Excuse me, are you the person my daughter mentioned who wanted to come and see the house?"

Chu Ci hesitated for a moment before nodding, then quickly shook his head.

He Lihua didn't understand, "Pretty girl, what do you mean?"

"..."

Chu Ci thought for a moment, pursed her lips, and looked up, only to be unexpectedly met with her bloodshot eyes.

Just like last time, images started popping into her head again.

But perhaps because it was the second time she had used this ability, she saw several more images than she had seen the last time.

"Hey! Pretty girl, don't fall!"

Seeing Chu Ci suddenly clutch her head and fall down, several aunties reached out to help her up.

The aunt who rushed over to help her showed no worry on her face, only sadness at her own misfortune.

“Hey beautiful, there’s already a haunted house here that’s affecting the property values ​​of several families around here! If you’re really going to die, please don’t die in our stairwell, okay?”

"Please, pretty girl! Let us help you outside before you breathe your last, okay?"

The pain of having memories crammed into his head disappeared, and Chu Ci almost rolled his eyes when he heard her words.

"I don't want to die, and I can't die. Please help me up."

The aunt who wanted Chu Ci to die outside was the happiest, and she happily helped Chu Ci up.

"Good, good! At least you're not dead! Pretty girl, do you want me to take you to the nearest hospital?"

"No."

She waved her hand, looked at He Lihua who was holding a bunch of children at the back of the crowd, and slowly spoke after organizing her thoughts.

"Your husband was arrested because the police found out he happened to be passing by the crime scene when the victim in the Five-Faced Female Corpse case died, right?"

He Lihua was startled and suddenly looked up.

"What did you say?" She was stunned for a moment, then pressed, "How...how did you know?"

Chu Ci: "I not only know this, but I also know that the police originally came to find your husband to understand the situation."

"But your husband stammered for a long time and couldn't explain why he was passing by the crime scene that day, which is why the police arrested him and took him to the police station for questioning. Right?"

He Lihua stared blankly at her, and then, as if struck by a sudden thought, she released the child and rushed over, kneeling in front of her and grabbing her pants while crying.

"Master? You're a master, aren't you?!"

Her suppressed emotions erupted again, and she knelt on the ground, clutching Chu Ci's pants and sobbing uncontrollably.

"Master, please, you must save my husband! He is an honest and law-abiding man, he wouldn't even dare to kill a fish, how could he possibly kill someone!"

"Master, please help me! I'll give you any amount of money, please help me!"

"..."

Chu Ci gripped his waistband tightly, trying to hold onto his tattered trousers.

What's going on? Why do people in this world love pulling down other people's pants so much?!

When she gets back, she will definitely give up the elastic waistband and wear a pair of pants that can be belted!

Seeing her expressionless face and silent gaze, the women around her looked at each other, not quite believing her.

"Ali, let me warn you. Some people specifically target families who are going through a lot of trouble, then pretend to be masters and come to their door to trick them into buying talismans, medicine, or magic arrays! You mustn't fall for it!"

An aunt reminded He Lihua, and she didn't forget to glare at Chu Ci secretly.

Chu Ci didn't care about the aunt's eye roll; instead, she secretly gave her a thumbs up.

You're very vigilant, that's good!

She cleared her throat, grabbed her waistband with one hand, and used the other to help He Lihua, who was kneeling on the ground, to her feet.

"I can't save him, I just wanted to remind you."

He Lihua gripped her hand tightly, as if grasping at the last straw, "Master, please tell me."

"The reason your husband passed by the crime scene that night, but refused to say why, is because he rented a house nearby for his ex-wife. He was afraid of upsetting you, so he didn't dare tell the police the truth."

"Ex-wife?" The oldest woman's voice suddenly rose. "Jiacheng's ex-wife, didn't she abandon Jiacheng and go abroad? Why is she suddenly back and still needs Jiacheng to rent a house for her?"

He Lihua's face turned visibly pale, and compared to her earlier worry and panic about her husband, her eyes showed more pain and hatred.

Chu Ci quickly added, "Don't get the wrong idea, he and his ex-wife have nothing going on..."

"There's nothing he's afraid to tell me! There's nothing he did—he went to see his ex-wife alone in the middle of the night!"

Before Chu Ci could finish speaking, He Lihua interrupted him with a scream.

Her son, who was not yet a year old, nestled in her arms and burst into tears when his mother suddenly screamed.

He Lihua's eldest daughter, who was already old enough to understand, quickly carried her wailing younger brother into the room, leaving the outside space to the adults. She hid behind the door, her eyes red, and secretly watched them.

Looking at He Lihua's murderous gaze, Chu Ci finally understood why her husband dared not tell her the truth.

If her husband had told her the truth, he probably would have been beaten before he even finished speaking.

She sighed, "See? With such a bad temper, how dare your husband talk to you?"

He Lihua opened her mouth to refute, but this time Chu Ci didn't give her a chance to speak. "He did go to see his ex-wife, but there was nothing between them."

"His ex-wife went abroad, was swindled out of all her money, and got cancer. When she returned to China, she didn't even have money to rent a place."

"The hospital has now sentenced her to death. She can only go home and wait to die. The night your husband went to see her, he was listening to her make arrangements for her funeral."

He Lihua: "..."

When a person is about to die, all their past actions are put to rest.

Even if she has a terrible temper, she can't bring herself to yell at someone who's about to die.

Almost all the aunties around knew Jiacheng's ex-wife, and they couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, Jiacheng's ex-wife is just too much of a troublemaker. She and Jiacheng were living such a good life back then, but she had to cheat on him. Then she ran off abroad with someone else, and now she's made a mess of herself..."

"Forget it, the person is about to die, let's not say anything more!"

"Jiacheng's ex-wife was a well-known beautiful girl around here. It's quite sad that she ended up like this."

...

The aunties chimed in with their comments, and He Lihua couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

“Master,” she realized, and started taking out her wallet, “thank you for reminding me! How much is it? I’ll pay you!”

The other women also realized what was happening and grabbed Chu Ci's hands one after another. "Master, my son has been married for five years, and I still haven't had a grandson. Can you tell me when I will become a grandmother?"

"Master, my daughter says she's about to get a promotion, but she'll be competing with someone else. Can you tell me if she'll be able to get the promotion?"

"Master, my grandson is about to take an exam, but his grades have always been poor. Could you predict what will be on the exam?"

Chu Ci was surrounded and felt extremely overwhelmed. She frowned and looked at He Lihua, who was taking out money.

"I'm just reminding you casually. Whether it's accurate or not, you'll have to go to the police station to verify it yourself, explain the situation to the officer, and bring your husband out."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

He Lihua suddenly realized what was happening. She went back and told her daughter to take care of her younger brother for a while, then quickly put on her coat and ran to the police station.

Several aunties, always eager for a bit of fun, followed her over, and Chu Ci's surroundings instantly became quiet.

Just as she was about to leave, the door behind her suddenly opened slowly.

The little girl, holding her younger brother, peeked out slightly, staring at her with wide eyes, and asked cautiously, "Auntie, what happened to my dad?"

They had just gotten a new large color TV, and she had been hiding in her room watching it, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

Chu Ci walked over and patted her head. "Nothing happened. Stay home and look after your brother. Keep the door closed. Don't open the door for anyone except your mother, okay?"

The little girl nodded, slowly closed the door, and couldn't help asking again, "Sister, what happened to my dad?"

Seeing the stubbornness in her eyes, Chu Ci thought for a moment and said, "Dad got lost, so Mom went to pick him up and take him home."

"So he got lost. Dad's always so absent-minded, he's not even as good as my little brother!"

The little girl complained softly for a moment, then relaxed.

Seeing Chu Ci about to turn and leave, she quickly called out to her, "Sister, aren't you renting a house anymore?"

"No," Chu Ci shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I can't afford to rent a house here."

"I can afford it!" the girl said honestly. "My house is a haunted house, but the rent is very cheap! Sister, you're a master, aren't you afraid of living in a haunted house?"

Chu Ci: "..."

In my past life, when I was a policeman, I was an atheist, so of course I'm not afraid.

But now that she has not only transmigrated, but also been bound to a spiritual medium system, she is unsure whether she is afraid or not.

The little girl carried her younger brother back, and returned with paper and a pen.

"Sister, could you please leave your address and phone number? My mom will contact you after she picks up my dad."

Chu Ci hesitated.

She doesn't have a fixed address, let alone a phone number. Should she leave the address and phone number of Grandma's Hospital?

Wait, the original owner also seems to have a pager (pager) that can be used for communication!

She left the pager number and handed it to the little girl, saying, "Thank you for your help. If possible, could you please have your mother contact me? I'd like to see the house you're renting out first."

Okay~

The little girl smiled and waved to her, then hugged her younger brother and went back inside.

-

He Lihua drove several nuns to the police station, and started crying before they even went inside.

"Release my husband! He's been framed! Release him now!"

Several police officers stopped her, but He Lihua, along with several nuns, tried to force her way in. The police chief, who heard the commotion, came out with a grim face.

"Aren't those reporters annoying enough? Can't they find any dirt on our police station? What are you all arguing about?!"

Upon seeing the police chief emerge, He Lihua and several nuns rushed over, shouting, "My husband is innocent! He was passing by the crime scene to visit his ex-wife, not to commit murder!"

"Release him immediately!"
