Chapter 145 I'll be back soon
"...What?" Jiang Ke was a little stunned.
"But...if it wasn't for this reason, why would I do those things in the middle of the night and not remember them at all?"
"And, it only happens when I'm in my own room... I see. Are you trying to say that the evil spirit isn't haunting me, but is only haunting my room?"
He felt he had figured it out.
"I can help you solve your problem," Yun Qingqing said, "but I need you to exchange it for an old item that you've used for more than five years and that means something to you."
"Ah? No money required?" Jiang Ke was a little surprised.
"No, but it must be more than five years. It must be meaningful to you. Both of these conditions are indispensable. If you don't want it, forget it."
Jiang Ke pondered for a moment, then took out a pen from his sleeve. The wolf hair on the pen tip had fallen off a lot:
"I've been using this pen for six or seven years and I've never been willing to replace it. Today, I was thinking of stopping by a shop to get it repaired. Can I use this as payment?"
"Okay." Yun Qingqing nodded and took it, then continued the previous topic.
"Think carefully, why do you think you were the one who did what happened in the middle of the night?"
"Of course it's because..." Jiang Ke frowned, "My brother and sister-in-law both said so. They wouldn't lie to me."
"Are you sure?" Yun Qingqing curled her lips without a smile.
Jiang Ke was stunned for a moment, his expression changed slightly:
"Master, please don't make random guesses. Azhuo is my brother. How could he tease me with something like this?"
"Guess?" Yun Qingqing glanced at him calmly. "You're thirty-eight this year. Your parents died young, and you raised your brother, who is ten years younger than you, all by yourself."
"When your brother got married, you were the one who bought the house and the betrothal gift. But after a few years, they fell into poverty and sold their house. They came to you and have lived in your house ever since."
"You've had two wives. The first died of illness, and the second died in an accident five years ago. Although you've had matchmakers introduce you to someone, you've never remarried."
Jiang Ke widened his eyes and said in shock:
"Exactly. You are truly an expert. You can even calculate these details so accurately."
Yun Qingqing looked straight at him:
"You should understand now. Why should I guess when I can figure it out with just a calculation?"
Jiang Ke paused, his face suddenly pale:
"You mean... Azhuo and the others lied to me?"
"Every time you wake up and find that the room has been moved, do you feel drowsy and have a headache?" Yun Qingqing asked.
Jiang Ke nodded repeatedly:
"Exactly! Isn't this caused by evil spirits?"
"I told you, you're not infected with evil spirits." Yun Qingqing shook her head. "If you want to know the truth, don't touch any food or drink at home before going to bed these few days. But don't let your brother and sister-in-law find out either."
"If you hear any noise in the house at night, don't move. Keep pretending to be asleep. After three days at most, everything will become clear."
Jiang Ke's face turned even paler.
"Azhuo often gives me milk to drink before bed, saying it calms the nerves and helps me sleep... I always drink it in front of him. If I suddenly refuse, I'm afraid it will arouse his suspicion."
He had always treated this beef as a younger brother who cared about him, so he had to watch over it and finish it. Now that the master said this, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Thinking about it carefully, it is true that every time he drinks the milk, he will soon feel sleepy and fall into a deep sleep.
Could it be that they really added something in it?
If his brother and sister-in-law were really plotting against him, they would definitely try every possible means to watch him drink the beef, and he would probably not be able to refuse.
Yun Qingqing thought for a moment, then took out a piece of yellow paper and quickly drew a talisman and handed it to him:
"Next time you finish drinking what they offer you, burn this into ashes and drink it with water. It will keep you conscious."
Jiang Ke quickly took it and thanked him.
He carefully put the talisman into his arms, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked:
"Master, could you please tell me why my brother did this? He has always respected and relied on me as his elder brother. If he didn't have some unspeakable hardship, he would definitely not make things difficult for me."
"Maybe he didn't tell me because he was thinking about me. If I expose him like this... I'm worried about affecting our brotherly relationship."
Yun Qingqing looked at him calmly with a cold expression:
"You should first find out what happened that night. Then you'll know if he has any hardship. Then you can decide whether to expose them or not, right?"
"Master, you are wrong." Jiang Ke calmed down, bowed and left in a hurry.
Qing Jue peeked in from the door and asked curiously:
"Sister Qingqing, what's the situation with this guy's brother? Do you already know? Tell me!"
Although he had been outside the door just now, the person on the other side could hear it clearly.
Yun Qingqing frowned slightly:
"Why rush? He'll be back soon, and the truth will be revealed then."
The copper bell rang again at the gate.
The next guest arrived.
