It was late autumn, and Tao Rui was about to leave. His housekeeper was waiting at the door, having dressed him in a khaki windbreaker. They were supposed to arrange a car, but Cao Heping naturally knew how to pick Tao Rui up and bring him back, so Tao Rui got right into his car.
Cao Heping's villa is located in a large villa community, some distance away from the neighbors but not too far. Because a murder had occurred in the villa, the neighbors on both sides were a little upset living there.
They had heard that Cao Heping was looking for a master to look at the house, and when they found out that he brought someone with him this time, they were all a little curious. But when Cao Heping called out "Master Tao", their eyes turned to Tao Rui in surprise.
Is this the Master Tao who helped the Ye family find their grandson?
This is too young!
Is this reliable?
It just so happened that the neighbors on both sides were not superstitious people. Standing at their second-floor windows and looking over here, they sighed inwardly. Why hadn't that case been solved? Otherwise, this house wouldn't be so haunted.
When Tao Rui came in, Cao Heping was telling him the news he had heard.
A newlywed couple moved into this villa a year ago. They have a very good relationship and are said to have started dating right after entering university and got married four years after graduation.
The woman's family, with assets estimated at 200 to 300 million yuan, provided her with a down payment on the villa and later asked the man to provide for the house. The man's family was very poor, with an elderly mother and four sisters, and the burden was enormous. However, he was very responsible and treated the woman very well, agreeing to all his father-in-law's requests, just to marry his sweetheart.
Unexpectedly, just after their wedding, the woman's father was involved in a drunk driving accident, killing his mother instantly. She was devastated, and the man spent his days trying to be there for her and cheer her up. But one day, he was away, having been sent on a business trip by his company. He was then hacked to death by assailants who broke into her home in the middle of the night with a kitchen knife.
Upon returning, the man collapsed and refused to believe the situation. He was eventually forcibly taken away by his family and never returned. The villa later changed hands, and the resident became increasingly ill. They moved elsewhere, and the situation resolved, leading them to become frightened and afraid to return. Later, they tricked outsiders into selling the villa to Cao Heping.
Cao Heping was furious at the mention of it. Those who could afford to live in a villa worth tens of millions of yuan were all wealthy and well-connected, yet he had been deceived. The previous owner's company was already on his blacklist, but the most important thing now was to resolve the issue of the house.
Cao Heping always felt chilly when walking in the villa. Although it was late autumn, it was not so cold that it felt like he was cold from the inside out.
His throat tightened, and he lowered his voice considerably. He asked cautiously, "Master Tao, have you seen anything? Is there... is there really a ghost here?"
Tao Rui was walking up the stairs when he glanced at the floating female ghost in front of him. He looked away and said calmly, "You'll be living here in the future, so I suggest you don't get too specific. Many houses require feng shui considerations to be livable anyway, so just assume this place has bad feng shui."
The female ghost rushed in front of Cao Heping and screamed sharply, "No one is allowed to live here! This is my house, mine!"
Cao Heping shuddered suddenly, his face turned pale, and he stopped.
Tao Rui also paused and turned to look at him, "Why don't you wait outside? It's noon now, find a sunny place to bask in the sun and chat with someone. It's just a psychological effect, just go out."
"Is it a psychological effect?" Cao Heping swallowed, knowing that Tao Rui was doing this for his own good, and didn't ask any more questions. "Master Tao, I'll be out first. Call me when you're done."
After saying this, Cao Heping quickly left the villa, leaving only Tao Rui and the female ghost in the villa.
Tao Rui leaned against the stair railing with his arms folded across his chest, looked at the ghost and said, "Did you see who killed you? Tell me who it was and I'll help you catch them."
The ghost girl was startled, and turned to look at Tao Rui in slow motion. She floated in front of his face and asked very closely, "Can you see me?"
Tao Rui's hands were filled with spiritual power. He pushed her away, frowned, and continued to go upstairs. "Although you are very pitiful, keep a good distance. You have a good understanding of your current situation."
The female ghost had been hacked to death by someone, so naturally she looked terrifying, with blood all over her head and face. After Tao Rui said that, she didn't know whether to be angry with him or to improve her image, because she had never thought that after becoming a fierce ghost, someone would think she was ugly. Shouldn't she be scared to death?
But her attention soon shifted to Tao Rui being able to touch and see her. She stayed away from Tao Rui cautiously, assuming an attacking posture, and warned him sinisterly, "You are the fat guy who came to take me away, right? He doesn't learn his lesson. Last time he brought people to take me away, and I beat him until he vomited blood, but he still refused to give up. He deserves to die!"
Tao Rui sneered, "You're the one who died. Let's be reasonable. This house cost someone tens of millions to buy. He's the owner now, and the place you should go is the underworld. Let's save some energy. I see that you haven't taken anyone's life yet and haven't completely lost your mind, so I won't take you in directly."
Let's make a deal. I'll help you bring the murderer to justice, and then you can fulfill your wish and reincarnate in the underworld, and stop causing trouble."
The ghost swallowed all the scary words she had in mind, stared at Tao Rui and asked in a trembling voice, "Why should I believe you?"
"I can kill you at any time." Tao Rui had already entered the bedroom where she died. He took out a copper coin sword from the space and swung it at the side of the female ghost.
The female ghost screamed and fled quickly. Feeling the power of the copper coin sword, she was shocked and confused. She realized that Tao Rui was different from others and really had the ability to kill her.
She immediately said, "Okay, I promise you. I just didn't want to stay in the mortal world. Do you know who killed me? Hahaha, it was that bitch Yang Zhijie! My husband!! I trusted him so much, but he was after my family's money from the beginning. So many people advised me not to be with him, but I didn't listen. I believed he loved me sincerely, but...but..."
The ghost cried bloody tears. "He told me that he deliberately got my dad drunk, stopped a designated driver, and kept telling my dad that it would be fine to drive back. He kept hinting to my dad. It was rush hour, and my dad really had a car accident. He killed my parents!" The ghost grabbed her hair and screamed, stumbling around the room in a state of madness. "He killed my parents! He also killed me! This way, all the money will be his, and he will also get several huge insurance payouts! "
"I am unwilling, I hate him, I want him to die! But I can't leave the villa. I hate him day and night, I hate him every minute and every second. I finally became strong." The female ghost rushed to Tao Rui, "I can get out soon, right? It will be soon, I can kill him with my own hands--"
"You don't have to bear the sin for this scum." Tao Rui comforted her gently, raising his hand to press her shoulder. "Believe me, he will get the punishment he deserves. When he is caught, I will help you. How about letting him see you with his own eyes?"
The ghost girl's wildly flying hair and nightgown gradually returned to normal, and her cloudy eyes gradually cleared up. "...Why did you help me?"
Tao Rui released his hand and shrugged. "I just happened to have this ability, I just happened to see injustice, and I just happened to need to solve the problem here. Okay, tell me what happened that day, and everything you think is useful. The key is how he got in that day, what he was wearing, and what he said. Tell me everything you remember in detail."
"Okay, okay." The ghost girl nodded, floated to the bed and lay down, recalling the scene of that day. "He went on a business trip that morning and said he wouldn't be back until the next day. I didn't pay much attention to it. I was still grieving over my parents' death. I lay here at night looking at my parents' photos, crying and crying, and I didn't hear any noise. Until... a man opened the door and came in. He was wearing a black tight-fitting sportswear, the kind you wear for running. I had never seen him wear that before. It wasn't his usual clothes.
His collar was raised, covering his chin. He was wearing a black mask, sunglasses, a hat, and gloves, and he was holding a kitchen knife. I was startled and immediately ran down the other side of the bed, grabbed my phone to call the police, and ran to the bathroom..."
The female ghost imitated her actions from that day. Perhaps she had recalled it countless times, and everything was engraved in her mind. Her actions were exactly the same as that day. She flipped off the bed in panic, pretending to grab her cell phone, dialed the police, and rushed into the bathroom to close the door.
"The door wasn't closed, and he rushed over. He stretched out his hand to block the door, and his right arm was pinched by the door. He cried out in pain, and I immediately let go of his hand and looked at him in disbelief, because I recognized it as my husband's voice. He comforts me every day and talks to me a lot every day. He is the person I love the most. I couldn't have heard it wrong.
He also noticed that I heard it, pushed open the door and came in to grab me. I was... there was a vacuum cleaner in the room at the time, so I grabbed the vacuum cleaner to block the knife, and then I threw myself on him and pulled off his mask and sunglasses. It was really him. I was angry and scared, so I turned and ran out. That's where he stabbed me in the back.
The ghost stood at the bathroom door, then fell to the ground, saying in agony, "I've never been hurt so badly. I couldn't get up from that blow. I was so scared that I cried and asked him why he treated me like that. He covered my mouth and laughed at me like a demon, saying that he decided to pursue me the first time he saw me, not because he liked me, but because he heard my family was rich.
He said he'd been around more than just me, a rich girl, and I was the only one so foolish that I quickly fell for him and was pursued by him. He trusted him completely, ignoring the advice of his parents and friends. He said he'd wanted to have a good life with me, that he wouldn't be at a disadvantage, but my parents were wary of him.
The ghost wept blood again. "He said he had to pay such a high mortgage for this house, and he also asked me to sign a prenuptial agreement not to touch my other assets. He said we all looked down on him. He was so good to me, but I was still on guard against him. He might as well come and get it himself. He said these were all his hard work over the years. He was so gentle and considerate to me, I wanted to vomit."
"I want to kill him! He lied to me, he is a pervert. He told me how he induced my father to get into trouble. He watched me collapse and then hacked me to death. Oh, by the way, I turned into a ghost at that time. I saw how he ran away. I will take you to see it." The female ghost remembered something important and took Tao Rui downstairs.
Tao Rui saw the female ghost's anger subside a little. It was because she saw hope and didn't continue to transform into an evil ghost. If she had completely transformed, she would have truly lost her mind and only remembered her enemies. Fortunately, everything was not too late. He would help her get revenge.
