Chapter 223: Midnight Haunted House 10
Su Qingyun had no doubts. She thought she really needed to hold Ye Jian, like a magic weapon in the process of casting a spell.
She put down her toolbox and hugged it very seriously.
"Hold me tighter." Ye Jian also requested.
Su Qingyun tightened her arms.
"Which pomegranate do you think we should ask Mr. Xu to cut?"
"Huh?" Su Qingyun was puzzled. "Don't you know which one to cut? Why are you asking me?"
"When did I say that? It's what you thought."
Su Qingyun let go of her hand.
Ye Jian hurriedly coaxed, "Okay, okay, I know, don't let go."
"Time is passing, be serious."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Su Qingyun hugged Ye Jian again.
Ye Jian reminded her softly, "If you're scared when the vengeful spirit leaves your body, just close your eyes."
"The vengeful spirit has left the body..."
Ye Jian made a gesture to silence him, then he shouted to Xu Xinghe, "Cut off the biggest and reddest pomegranate on the tree."
Xu Xinghe paused under the pomegranate tree, then cut off a large pomegranate with great confidence.
The pomegranate fell to the ground with a dull sound, like a head falling from a tree.
Su Qingyun heard some rustling sounds coming from the direction of the pomegranate tree, as if some vines wrapped around the tree were retreating.
She wanted to go and see, but because she was holding Ye Jian's waist with both hands, she had no free hand to hold the flashlight.
She could only remind Xu Xinghe, "Xu Xinghe, be careful!"
"It's okay." Xu Xinghe's voice came from the tree.
The rustling sound continued, and after a burst of ringing, the sound stopped, and then Su Qingyun felt a chill coming towards her.
"Xu Xinghe." Ye Jian's voice said, "Shine the flashlight on her."
Xu Xinghe must have done so, because Su Qingyun saw a beam of light change from white to red, and finally to blue.
She closed her eyes because she was scared.
At this moment, a tiny voice came from her ears, "Ah~ah~ah", as if something wanted to come out of her throat but couldn't.
Ye Jian said, "Now that you're out, don't come here to scare our captain. She's not Yang Huihui."
“Ah~ah~ah~”
"I know you died tragically, but the person who killed you wasn't Yang Huihui, it was probably her husband. You have to go find her husband."
The ah ah sound no longer sounded, but the cold atmosphere remained.
Xu Xinghe suddenly spoke, "I have his photo here, you can take his photo and look for him."
Then, the strong feeling of coldness behind Su Qingyun disappeared.
After a few seconds, Xu Xinghe's voice sounded again, "It's okay, Su Qingyun, the vengeful spirit is gone."
"The vengeful spirit has left, so can I let go?" Su Qingyun asked Ye Jian.
"You can always let go. It was you who wanted to hold me."
Su Qingyun let go of her hand and took two steps back. She looked at Ye Jian without daring to question him.
It was clearly him who asked her to hug him.
It turned out he was just teasing her.
"Please don't do this next time." Su Qingyun picked up his toolbox, turned on the flashlight and shone it on the pomegranate tree.
The pomegranate tree no longer has the grace it once had, and the pomegranates on the tree are thin and small.
Although Su Qingyun didn't know what principle the Zeng family used to connect the soul of the female ghost in white with the pomegranate tree, she didn't know how Ye Jian deduced that the person who killed her was Yang Huihui's husband.
"Why do you say that the person who killed the female ghost in white was Yang Huihui's husband?"
"Because he's the only person in this house who could kill a woman." Ye Jian said, "There's a little bear under the bed in the first room, proving a baby lived there before. The furniture in the second room is rather old-fashioned, proving an old man lived there before."
"Neither of these individuals was capable of killing an adult woman."
"Then why can't it be Yang Huihui?" Su Qingyun asked, "You voted in favor when Xu Xinghe made his analysis earlier."
"Because of our mission, do you still remember how the mission we issued described this haunted house?" Ye Jian asked Su Qingyun.
"Of course I remember. Zeng family's daughter-in-law Yang Huihui accidentally fell to her death. The ghost lingered, causing the Zeng family's old house to become a haunted house..." Su Qingyun suddenly understood what Ye Jian wanted to express when she said this.
"You mean the system tells you that Yang Huihui is a ghost, and our mission is to exorcise the ghost, so Yang Huihui is not the murderer."
Xu Xinghe, standing nearby, also understood what was going on. He said, "The murderer took advantage of this and turned this house into a haunted house so that no one would come to investigate the truth."
He turned back to look at the pomegranate tree. "So he planted this pomegranate tree too?"
Ye Jian replied, "Whether he planted it or not, no one knows. I only know that he hired someone to create the formation in this place."
Ye Jian pointed at the Maoshan witchcraft book in Su Qingyun's bag and said, "I found that booklet in the third room. It happened to have this layout on it."
When Su Qingyun heard that Ye Jian had taken the booklet out of the haunted house, she quickly took the booklet out of her bag and threw it into a black garbage bag.
Ye Jian shook his head and said it was a pity, "The rules don't say we can't take things."
"The rules don't say you can take it. This isn't Soul Marsh, there's no way equipment can drop here."
Ye Jian sighed, "I thought this thing would be useful when I go to a haunted house to clean it up in the future."
"But it doesn't matter." Ye Jian smiled again, "I took pictures before giving them to you."
He even teased Su Qingyun, "Captain Su, haven't you forgotten one of the rules? We have to take photos of suspicious items and upload them to the Security Department?"
Of course Su Qingyun did not forget, but Ye Jian actually used the rules to exploit this loophole. He was really too smart.
But his behavior always makes people angry.
Su Qingyun was a little angry now. She asked Ye Jian, "Did you know the cause of death of the white-clothed ghost girl a long time ago?"
"Not too long ago, after you produced Yang Huihui's hymen repair report."
Ye Jian said, "Yang Huihui's personal belongings are very cheap, but every piece of clothing in her husband's room is custom-made, proving the huge disparity in wealth between them. How did she manage to marry into the Zeng family despite such a huge gap?"
"By repairing it?"
"Yes, that's right." Ye Jian stopped talking here.
He said, "Our mission has been completed. Let's go back and report."
Then he carried the garbage bag and walked out of Zeng's yard.
Su Qingyun looked at his back and couldn't help but complain to Xu Xinghe, "Do you think he's a little arrogant because of his favor?"
Xu Xinghe smiled slightly, "He is indeed very powerful, worthy of being called the King of Clearing the Level, but you made a mistake in describing him."
"Um?"
"It is because of his talent that he is proud."
"Yes, that's right. What did I just say?"
"If you don't remember, forget it." Xu Xinghe paused for two seconds before finally saying, "The white-clothed female ghost was tricked by Yang Huihui and offered to her husband. I believe she must have suffered great harm before her death. It is only right for her to seek revenge."
Xu Xinghe looked at Su Qingyun gently and said something that Su Qingyun didn't understand why he said it here.
"Girls should not trust others too much when they are outside."
He said, "But you can trust me."
