Chapter 945: The Detective Who Could See Ghosts (25)
The Host’s business had a website and she had so referrals from her past custors too. Even without the people that Yao Ying sent to disturb her, she had a few custors who wanted to ask for her help during this period of ti.
However, she was busy helping the police so she didn’t have the ti to take these cases.
But now...
She needed to earn money!
For the sake of justice!
For snacks!
Ming Shu t the client at a milk tea shop.
The client was a young girl. She didn’t seem to be in a good ntal state but from her actions, she was an educated and cultured person.
The girl’s voice was soft and weak. “I want you to investigate my father. I think that he murdered my mother.”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows.
The girl lowered her head so Ming Shu couldn’t see her expression. She took out an envelope from her school bag. “This is the down paynt.”
The envelope was thick.
“I just need to investigate this?”
“...” The girl bit her lips. She hesitated for a while before nodding firmly. “Yes.”
“Okay.”
She confird so basic information with the girl before going to the girl’s house.
The faster she finished the business, the faster she could have her snacks.
This was a villa district. The girl’s father was called Mister Peng. He was a wealthy businessman. He was not from a wealthy family. He was a new figure in the wealthy people’s circle.
The girl’s mother and father started a business together and achieved the results they had today.
However, her mother was diagnosed with depression within these two years. Every ti her father ca back ho, her mother would quarrel with him.
Hence, her father started coming back less and less. Her mother’s temper got weirder too.
Not long before, her mother had an accident. She fell from the stairs and died.
“I’m sorry, Miss. We can’t let you in without the owner’s permission.”
She t a setback the mont she started.
Ming Shu was blocked by the security at the entrance of the district.
It seed like she had to use her ultimate weapon—climbing the walls.
There were no walls that she couldn’t climb.
“Sister!”
A clear voice sounded from behind her. Then, the stupid little boy hugged her leg. “Sister, are you here to see ?”
See your head!
Female protagonist! Your child ran away again!
“Huh... Zichen, when did you go out?” The security looked at him strangely too. “Where is your mother?”
Hang Zichen pouted. “Father took Mother away. I ca back secretly. Uncle, don’t tell my mother. She will scold .”
“Let call your nanny to co and fetch you. Stand there and don’t move!” The security called the ng family’s villa while reminding Hang Zichen not to move.
Hang Zichen looked up with his small face. “Sister, look, I bought a lot of good food. Shall we eat together?”
Ming Shu realized that there was a bag of snacks beside Hang Zichen.
Hang Zichen pulled Ming Shu to drag her inside.
The security hung up the call and hurriedly ca out to stop Ming Shu.
“I know this sister,” Hang Zichen said clearly.
The security sized up Ming Shu. This girl looked harmless. She didn’t look like a bad person. Since Hang Zichen said that he knew her, the security registered her na and let her in.
They t Hang Zichen’s nanny halfway along the journey.
The nanny was puzzled, but she didn’t dare to ask much about her master’s personal life.
According to what Hang Zichen said, he got sick a few days ago so ng Han brought him to his house.
The female protagonist ca along with him.
As expected of the male protagonist.
Scheming.
Ming Shu had things to do. Even if Hang Zichen had snacks, she needed to leave.
Hang Zichen ca out and followed her when his nanny was not looking.
Ming Shu: “...”
This stupid little boy could be exchanged for a lot of snacks.
“Call your mother. If not, I will get locked up.” Child trafficking was illegal.
Hang Zichen obediently called Hang Hang with Ming Shu’s phone.
Once he finished the call, Ming Shu brought him to squat outside the Peng family’s villa.
“Sister, are we playing a spy ga?” Hang Zichen squatted with Ming Shu. There was excitent and curiosity on his face.
“Nope.”
“What are we playing then?”
“Catching ghosts.”
Hang Zichen blinked. “Sister, you can see them too?”
Ming Shu turned her head and looked at the child beside her.
Hang Zichen’s eyes were shimring. He seed to have found soone who had the sa hobby as him.
Ming Shu answered, “Yes.”
Hang Zichen pouted. “Mother and Father don’t believe , but I know that they exist.”
“When were you able to see them?”
The female protagonist’s son can see ghosts?
This was not written in the storyline... but if it was her gold fingers, that would be reasonable.
Hang Zichen thought for a while. “Ever since I was very young.”
“Are you not afraid?”
“They will not harm . They even play with ,” Hang Zichen replied in a clear voice.
They just t not long ago so Ming Shu didn’t probe further. She turned and looked at the villa.
Mister Peng was not at ho now. However, there was soone moving in the garden. It seed to be a woman.
The girl got suspicious because her father brought a woman ho soon after her mother died and she saw this woman around her father before.
Also, her father acted strangely after her mother died. He would be absentminded and sotis even jumped in fright when she called him.
The little girl got even more suspicious so she decided to find soone to investigate the issue.
Ming Shu brought Ming Shu to the back of the villa.
“Sister, there is a brother there.” Hang Zichen pointed at a dark corner.
Ming Shu saw the ghost too. She carried Hang Zichen as she walked to the corner.
The ghost didn’t move. He just stared at them.
He thought that the two people would walk past him but they stopped. The girl was even smiling at him.
“Brother, can I ask you sothing?”
The ghost: !!!
She can see !
The ghost was as excited as Little White. He asked her after he cald down, “What do you want to ask?”
“Do you know how the female owner of this house died?”
The male ghost shook his head. “I just died recently. However, there is another ghost in this villa. He’s been here for a long ti. I can take you two to him.”
The male ghost said the ghost only stayed in the villa.
They needed to go inside to find him.
Ming Shu climbed over the wall with Hang Zichen. They dodged the servants in the villa and followed the male ghost to find the old ghost.
The old ghost was much calr. When Ming Shu asked him about the death of the female owner, he said his conditions.
Ming Shu could gain strength from completing requests from the ghosts so she didn’t reject him.
But...
“You died 100 years ago. Where am I supposed to find your bones!”
According to what she observed, ghosts did not have to stay beside their bodies after they died. The places where they appeared as ghosts were chosen randomly.
Hence, who knew where the body of this ghost who died 100 years ago was? It might be a few thousand miles away from here.
“My bones are buried under the villa,” the old ghost said. “You can just dig for them.”
“This is soone else’s house and you want to dig for your body here? Are you crazy?”
“You don’t want to do it?” The old ghost suddenly smiled. “Has the Qian family learned to reject us now? Are you not afraid of the wrath of heaven?”
Ming Shu narrowed her eyes. “You know the Qian family?”
Rejecting a ghost would result in the wrath of heaven?
What is that? Can it be eaten?
