Chapter 81 They Didn’t Tell the Truth

After seeing off Lin Jinshu and Qi Guang, Jia Luo returned to his daily life of eating, drinking and having fun.

One day during these ordinary days, Mo Shu called Jia Luo.

"Lolo, I heard that you've been very bored lately. Do you want to go play with senior brother?" Mo Shu said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, where shall we go to play?" Jia Luo responded excitedly.

"Haha, I'll pick you up. I'll tell you where to go when we meet."

After hanging up the phone, Jia Luo quickly packed herself up, put on her small bag, and ran downstairs impatiently.

Seeing Grandpa and Grandma Wen in the living room, Jia Luo said excitedly: "Grandpa, Grandma, my eldest senior brother said he wants to take me out to play, can I go out?"

"Oh, our Lolo wants to go out and play. Of course you can. But after you go out, you must listen to your senior brother!" said Mrs. Wen softly.

"Yeah, Lolo is very obedient!" Jialuo said in a baby voice.

Mr. and Mrs. Wen gave Jia Luo some instructions, and only when Mo Shu came to pick her up did they feel relieved.

Mo Shu, dressed casually, walked into the Wen family's old house with a smile on his face.

"Grandpa Wen, Grandma Wen, don't worry, I will take good care of Luo Luo." Mo Shu said respectfully.

Master Wen nodded slightly: "Okay, then Luo Luo will be handed over to you."

Jia Luo excitedly ran to Mo Shu and took his hand: "Big Brother, let's go quickly. Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma!"

Mo Shu smiled and touched Jia Luo's head: "Okay, let's go."

After leaving the Wen family's old house, the two got into a car.

Jia Luo couldn't wait to ask: "Big Brother, now you can finally tell me where we are going to play, right?"

"Haha, it's like this. Senior brother, I recently accepted a mission and I want you to accompany me." Mo Shu said slowly.

Jia Luo glanced at him and snorted, "Oh? So you didn't bring me out to have fun, you wanted me to work for you for free?"

Mo Shu touched his nose and replied with a smile: "Tsk, how can you say that? Senior Brother just saw that you were too bored at home, so he said he would take you out to relax."

"Okay, okay, I'll reluctantly forgive you. But, senior brother, what mission did you accept?" Jia Luo raised his chin slightly, with curiosity in his eyes.

"It's like this, a family came to us and said that they could always hear crying in their house in the middle of the night, but they couldn't find the source of the crying. They felt very scared, so they wanted me to go and see what was going on," Mo Shu explained.

"Oh? They bought a haunted house!"

"No, they have lived in this house for many years, but recently they can always hear crying. And, according to their neighbors, the crying in their house in the middle of the night is particularly miserable and creepy. The neighbors were scared so much that they dare not go home at night." Mo Shu continued.

Jia Luo frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Big Brother, let's go and take a look. Maybe there is something going on."

Mo Shu nodded, sped up the car, and soon they arrived at the family's residence.

This is a small, somewhat old building, and the surrounding environment seems quite quiet.

As soon as they got out of the car, the owner of the house came up to them hurriedly.

"Mr. Mo, you are here. The crying is so scary. We don't know what to do." The owner said anxiously.

Mo Shu comforted her, "Don't worry, let's go check out the situation first."

They walked into the house and found a woman sitting on the sofa playing with a one or two-year-old child. Although the house was simply furnished, it was very tidy.

The two walked around the room but didn't find anything unusual.

The woman sitting on the sofa saw their actions and asked nervously, "Mr. Mo, is there something bad going on? What's the reason for the crying? We are all scared."

Mo Shu looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you the only three living in this house?"

The woman responded, "No, there's also my mother-in-law. The old lady is old, and she's been tormented by the weird crying lately. She can't eat or sleep well. She's out buying groceries now."

Carlo walked up to the woman and teased the child. The child giggled and the laughter brought a bit of life to the depressing house.

Mo Shu then asked: "When did this situation start?"

The man sighed and said slowly, "About a month ago."

"Besides the crying, are there any other abnormal situations?" Mo Shu asked.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

At this moment, Jia Luo stood up, looked around the house and asked, "Uncle, Aunt, is your house newly renovated?"

"Yes, three years ago, our house caught fire and was burned beyond recognition. We had to renovate it again," the man replied, with a hint of fear on his face.

"Oh, who lived in that room originally?" Jia Luo asked, pointing to one of the houses.

The man smiled bitterly and said softly, "That used to be my daughter's room."

"Uncle, what about your daughter?" Jia Luo asked.

The man's eyes revealed deep sorrow. He said slowly, "She is dead. The fire three years ago not only burned down the house, but also killed my daughter."

Jialuo and Mo Shu looked at each other and had some guesses in their minds.

Jia Luo asked softly: "Uncle, how did the fire happen?"

The man was silent for a moment, then he slowly said, "We don't know the exact reason, we just know that a fire suddenly broke out that night. When we ran out and found that my daughter didn't come out, the fire was already very big. I wanted to rush in to save her, but the fire was too big and I couldn't get in at all. I watched her burn to death!"

"With such a big fire, weren't the neighbors affected?" Mo Shu asked.

"It's strange that such a big fire only burned our house. Maybe the firefighters arrived before the fire spread to their place!"

Mo Shu frowned and fell into deep thought, while Jia Luo looked left and right, teasing the child from time to time.

The woman on the sofa had red eyes and was sobbing softly.

Just then, the door was pushed open and the old lady came back.

When the old lady saw Mo Shu and Jia Luo, a look of confusion appeared on her face.

"Who are these two?" asked the old lady.

The man hurriedly explained: "Mom, this is Mr. Mo and his apprentice sister. They are here to help us solve the problem."

The old lady frowned and looked at Mo Shu and Jia Luo carefully. Especially when she saw that Jia Luo was still a child, she said unhappily, "Hey, young man, why don't you learn your lesson at such a young age? You even brought a child to deceive people!"

Mo Shu quickly explained: "Old lady, you misunderstood, we are not liars."

The old lady snorted and said, "Humph, I don't believe it. I've already found a master. Hurry up and leave. Don't waste our time here, or I'll call the police to arrest you!"

Jia Luo stood up, took Mo Shu's hand and said, "Brother, let's go. They didn't tell the truth. No matter who comes, they can't help them."
