When Xu Yingying heard this, she felt guilty as if her identity was exposed, but she definitely couldn't admit it!

So she said stubbornly: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are the woman, your whole family is women, and I am a real man!"

"It's just that my mother gave birth to me prematurely, so I look a little weaker than other men."

The brown-clothed male ghost did not buy Xu Yingying's statement. Instead, he looked at Xu Yingying with ill intent and finally shook his head helplessly.

"What a pity! Although you are a girl, you don't act like a girl. You look more like a tigress. You won't be able to find a husband in the future and no one will want you."

"You! You have a foul mouth. It seems that the lesson I gave you this morning was not enough to make you remember. I still need to continue to educate you."

After saying that, Xu Yingying rolled up her sleeves and prepared to rush forward to teach the brown-clothed male ghost another lesson.

But before she rushed over, Taohua stopped her, "Sir, why are you angry with this kind of person? He is only good at talking. If he really had some ability, how could he have gotten to where he is today? If you argue with him, you are lowering our status!"

After Taohua's persuasion, Xu Yingying calmed down immediately and was not as angry as before.

Taohua saw that her words had worked, so she hurriedly continued to persuade Xu Yingying: "Now our most important thing is to solve the case and find out the true identity of the body and the murderer. This is the most important thing. As for the rest, it is not important."

Xu Yingying gave the brown-clothed male ghost a vicious look, then said to him calmly, "Do you still remember your name? Where do you live? Who else is at home? Who are you?"

The brown-clothed male ghost was stunned by Xu Yingying's words.

But soon he shook his head and said, "I don't know. I have forgotten everything you said."

When Xu Yingying heard this, she was speechless.

Yes, it’s no use asking.

I knew he was unreliable.

At this moment, Wu Da rushed in.

Xu Yingying's eyes lit up immediately when she saw him, and she jumped up from the armchair excitedly, "But have you found any relevant information or the true identity of the male corpse?"

Wu Da shook his head helplessly when he heard this, then smiled bitterly, "Your Excellency, I have inquired for a while, but have not found any news about the male corpse."

"Then why did you come back?" Xu Yingying asked with some confusion.

"Sir, a villager reported that a female corpse was also fished out of the well in the nearby Lijia Village. The way she died was the same as the male corpse we fished out. She died from multiple stab wounds in the abdomen, and then from excessive bleeding, and was finally thrown into the well by the murderer."

Wu Da reported back to Xu Yingying in a very serious tone.

When Xu Yingying heard this, a solemn expression suddenly appeared on her face.

She didn't expect that she would encounter a serial murder case not long after becoming the county magistrate!

Now things are going to get tricky.

"Okay, I understand. Go to the next village and investigate to see if you can find any useful clues." Xu Yingying thought for a moment and said to Wu Da.

"Yes, my lord."

Just as Wu Da retreated, a female ghost in a light yellow dress appeared in front of Xu Yingying crying.

When the other party saw the official uniform on Xu Yingying, he knelt down in front of her without saying a word, "Sir! You have to help me! I died in such an unclear way. You must bring the murderer to justice!"

Seeing the yellow-clothed female ghost crying non-stop, Xu Yingying suddenly felt a headache and irritability, but she still had to endure the discomfort in her heart and patiently comfort her.

"Don't cry, just tell me what's wrong, I will definitely help you."

At this moment, the female ghost who had been following Xu Yingying until her body was disassembled and even had no feet suddenly spoke up, "Sir, if you trust me, leave the matter of this female ghost to me! I can help you solve this case."

"You? Are you sure?" Xu Yingying was a little confused by the female ghost's sudden words, and then she spoke subconsciously.

"Of course." The other party nodded confidently.

Xu Yingying was relieved when she heard this. Although she was also a woman, she hated hearing women crying the most. Since a ghost came forward and was willing to take on this tough job, why wouldn't she do it?

Xu Yingying nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Okay, then I will leave this matter to you. You will be responsible for all the small matters concerning this case, and I will still be in charge of the big matters and decisions. Do you have any objection to this decision?"

The ghost girl shook her head, "Of course not."

Xu Yingying was very satisfied with this. She nodded and continued, "In order to facilitate communication, I will now officially name you Camellia. Are you willing to accept it?"

"Everything is up to you, sir. Thank you for giving me a name." Camellia bowed to Xu Yingying and expressed her gratitude.

After saying this, Camellia looked at the brown-clothed male ghost beside her and asked, "Do you know your name? Where do you live? How many people are there in your family?"

The brown-clothed male ghost was a little confused by Camellia's sudden question, but he soon came to his senses and immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know anything you said. I became like this after I woke up. I don't remember anything."

"Okay!" Camellia turned around and looked at the crying female ghost and asked, "What about you?"

When the female ghost saw Camellia asking her, she immediately stopped crying. She had a lot more memories of her life than the male ghost.

While trying hard to recall, the female ghost began to tell Camellia about her life story.

"I vaguely remember that my name is Zhang Xiaohui, and I am from Dongkou Village. My family is the richest in the village, and I am the only daughter in the family. I have been engaged to Fang Dongyuan from Fangwan Village since childhood, and it seems that our wedding day will be next month."

"Fiancée? Wedding date is next month? Then do you remember what your fiancé looks like?" Camellia asked.

"My fiancé...what does he look like...what does he look like?"

After thinking for a while, the female ghost finally shook her head helplessly and said, "I don't remember this."

"Okay!" Camellia lowered her head in disappointment, but she said to comfort him, "But it doesn't matter. You gave me enough clues."

Xu Yingying smelled a hint of conspiracy, so she waved her hand and said, "Someone come!"

Wu Da came soon and said, "I am here, may I ask what you want me to do?"

"Go to the neighboring Dongkou Village and find out for me the whereabouts of a man named Fang Dongyuan in recent days."

"I obey my orders."

A quarter of an hour later, Wu Da came back to report to Xu Yingying.

"Reporting to the Lord, Fang Dongyuan, whom you asked me to check, went missing a few days ago."
