Chapter 225: Mistake?
The task that Gu Zhifei and his group received was not too difficult.
A murder case recently occurred in Sichengguo. On the wedding night, the new bride of the Wang family had her head twisted off by a sneaky person.
The six of them were determined to catch the sneaky guy and get rid of him.
Using the teleportation formation, they soon arrived at the city of Si.
The originally bustling market town was now silent, adding a touch of coolness.
But Gu Zhifei didn’t feel any ghostly aura here.
"Let's go to Wang's house first." Gu Zhifei decided to go to the scene first.
No one expressed any objection.
The one who came out to greet them was the palace's steward. Upon hearing that the guest officials from the Seven Stars Gate were coming to investigate, he almost ran to greet Gu Zhifei and the other six.
While listening to his explanation of the situation, Gu Zhifei looked at the surrounding scenery.
Probably because someone was killed, the maids all lowered their heads and dared not speak.
The wedding had not yet ended, the funeral had not yet begun, the red silk had not yet been taken down, and the white satin had been hung up again, which looked very funny.
Gu Zhifei and the other six walked through the flower corridor, went around the rockery, and stopped in front of a courtyard near the water.
"This is our young master's new house, but no one dares to live in it anymore."
Gu Zhifei nodded, turned his head and looked into the distance, and found that the pavilion in the center of the lake was facing the gate of the building.
"This is not a good situation." Zhou Zhao said.
When introducing herself before, Zhou Zhao said that her family was a famous Feng Shui family, and she was quite good at choosing houses.
"The doors face each other, and there is a locust tree in the courtyard, which is obviously a ghost-attracting pattern."
After listening to Zhou Zhao's words, Gu Zhifei seemed to be thinking about something.
As they walked along, they found that the layout of the Wang family's courtyard was quite reasonable and would not make such a low-level mistake.
That is to say, this is intentional.
The housekeeper pretended not to hear Zhou Zhao's sarcasm and pushed open the door, only to be greeted by a foul odor.
Everyone involuntarily performed the breath-holding technique.
The housekeeper pinched his nose and said, "This place is basically the same as it was that night. We didn't dare to move."
Butler Wang did not lie.
Because even the corpse was leaning against the head of the bed, the veil was thrown on the ground and stepped on several times.
The stench came from the corpse that had begun to rot.
Two boys volunteered to carry the body, while the others observed other corners of the room, but Butler Wang refused to enter the room no matter what.
He felt unlucky.
After laying the body flat on the ground, Gu Zhifei squatted down and investigated the cause of his bride's death.
There were no other external injuries, just a fatal blow to the neck.
There is no foreign matter in the mouth or nose, and the nails are clean.
Beside her, Bai Mengmeng kept gesturing with her hands, causing Gu Zhifei to ask her:
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"What are you doing?"
Bai Mengmeng said: "Look at the wound on her neck. Does it look like someone grabbed her neck with one hand and tore it out alive?"
She made a pulling motion, which made everyone look unhappy.
How much strength does it take to take off the head of a living person?
The corpse barely struggled, indicating that it died extremely quickly. Most ghosts and monsters simply could not do this.
But their mission this time shouldn't be too difficult.
In their entire team, the highest cultivation level is only Gu Zhifei's Foundation Establishment, which is totally not enough in front of the monsters.
Could it be that the elder who analyzed the danger level of the mission made a mistake?
Gu Zhifei thought it was unlikely. Every evaluation was supervised by two elders of the sect, so the possibility of error was small.
Sleepy, let's revise it tomorrow~ (End of this chapter)
