"Alas, I don't know whether I should say this or not, but I still think it's better to report to the young master: Xinwang is dead." Ruiyang said in a low voice.

"On the day Jingye brought him back, Aunt Zhao and the eldest young master were at the old lady's, so there was no time to interrogate him. The next day, the old lady had a headache and was not feeling well, so she did not mention him. Who would have thought that he would hang himself that night. I just got the news from Xiaohui, and since he had just left our place, I went to the old lady's maid Xiaoyu to explain the situation and gave her some money."

Tu Shanjing sighed and said, "After all, we are master and servant. You did the right thing."

Xiao Hui winked at me without making any expression. After I received it, I said to Tu Shanjing: "Young Master, I will go back to my room to change clothes first. It's hot outside and I'm wearing too much."

"Okay, then you can go directly to the study later." Tu Shanjing replied.

I separated from them and went back to my room.

Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Hui knocked on my door.

I looked around and saw that there was no one in the yard, so I invited him in.

"Xiao Hui, you just winked at me. Is there anything you want to tell me in private?" I asked.

"Girl, there is something strange about Xinwang's death." Xiao Hui said in a low voice.

I asked hurriedly: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Hui continued, "Rui Yang and I went to the room where he was locked up. I saw that the rope was still hanging on the beam and had not been untied. I thought it would be counted after the housekeeper had checked it. But the way the rope was tied looked very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before."

I pondered and said, "Knot tying methods vary from person to person, but it is indeed as you said, everyone has their own habits, maybe you have seen it somewhere."

Xiao Hui replied: "Yes, so I took advantage of the time when Rui Yang and Xiao Yu were talking in the room, and changed my original body and crawled to the side room where Xin Wang was parked."

I was frightened and said: "When did you become so brave?!"

Xiao Hui blushed: "At that time, I felt that there was a mystery in my heart, and I had to solve it, so I went to work without thinking too much. I didn't expect that I really found a clue. There was a silver needle on Xinwang's head. It didn't go in completely, only the tip was exposed, but I climbed close and saw it clearly. And I think I have seen this silver needle before."

I asked curiously: "Where have you seen it before?"

Xiao Hui asked in a low voice: "Girl, do you still remember that there was a girl in the young master's courtyard who framed you before, the one named Chaolu?"

Of course I remember, and Chaolu also hanged herself... Thinking of this, my scalp tingled and I replied: "I remember. You mean, you saw the same silver needle on Chaolu's head?!"

Xiao Hui nodded and said, "I dare not guarantee it, but it's almost certain. That day, you were locked up because of your misfortune. Xiao Wei was afraid that I would be found in the room and implicate you, so she asked me to hide. I fled all the way to the woodshed, and happened to run into a group of people coming in and out. I was afraid of being discovered, so I picked a nearby room and went in. Unexpectedly, I saw Chaolu on the beam. I heard footsteps coming here, so I climbed up the beam to hide. At that time, the knot that tied her was the same as Xinwang's. And I saw a flash of silver on her head. I thought it was the reflection of the jewelry on the girl's head, so I didn't dare to look at it or think about it too much, but this time I think about it, it should be the same method."

I felt cold all over and said to him, "So someone killed Chaolu first and then used the same method to kill Xinwang? Chaolu was a pawn, and they framed me so I had to get rid of her because I was afraid she would be exposed. How did Xinwang get in the way of others?"

Xiao Hui shook his head: "The girl can't think of it, and I can't think of it either. I can only tell the girl that if she feels it is necessary, she can report it to the young master and see what the young master thinks."

I patted his shoulder and said, "Good Xiao Hui, thank you very much. I will report to the young master later. If you can find out who is causing trouble and trying to harm the young master, you will have done a great deed."

Xiao Hui smiled and said, "It's just my job responsibility."

I also laughed and said, "Huh? Why does this sound so familiar? Did you learn it from Ruo Feng?"

Xiao Hui nodded: "The girl is smart, that's right."

I told him to continue watching for any unusual events and not to make any noise, then I changed my clothes and went to Tu Shanjing's study.

Tu Shanjing was writing something, so I closed the door and told him the story.

After hearing this, he frowned, took out a Sunlight Crystal from the small box behind him and said to me: "If he was really murdered, I'm afraid the murderer would have pulled out the silver needle and destroyed the evidence before Butler Hu and the undertaker arrived. Before, Chaolu stayed in the woodshed, which was not well guarded and easy to kill. Now Xinwang is parked in the side yard close to grandma, surrounded by strict guards, I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill him for a while, so he has been left until now. I'll go over there and take a look, you go to Xinwang's original room to see if there are any of his clothes, first use the Sunlight Crystal to retain his residual soul and see if he has anything to say. Even if not, leave a shadow, and in the future you will probably know who the murderer is, and maybe you can set a trap."

I took the Sunshine Crystal Stone and wrapped it in a bag. I bowed to him and said, "Don't worry, Master. I'll go right away."

After saying that, I turned and left the study.

The room where Xinwang used to live was not far from the warehouse where Bingpo was lost. I walked forward holding Bingpo. When I passed the warehouse, I heard a sigh, not too light or too heavy.

I was shocked and my scalp was numb. After all, something was stolen from the warehouse before, and the servant who went out of the yard just died. If there was really something supernatural, I couldn't handle it. After all, I just learned to use spiritual power not long ago, and I gritted my teeth to improve to a general level. I was also used to the young-looking women in the mansion who were hundreds of years old. If something other than a human or a monster came again, I would be completely in the dark and would not know what to do.

I slowed down my pace and walked slowly, focusing on my ears.

After taking two steps, I heard the faint crying sound again.

My scalp was about to explode, and I just wanted to run away with the Sunlight Crystal, but unfortunately my legs and feet were out of control and softer than the glutinous rice cake I had just eaten.

I gritted my teeth, calmed down, and listened again, and found that the crying sound came from the bag in my hand.

In an instant, a lot of terrifying scenes flashed through my mind, such as when the bundle was opened, what was wrapped inside was not a crystal but a human head, and someone possessed the Sunlight Crystal and grew facial features. In short, it was even more terrifying than Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. It was also because I always used Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio to scare others before. Now it was like spitting into the sky and hitting myself in the face. I was still scared.

"Hey, stop crying. I'm scared." I couldn't walk, and I couldn't beat it either, so I had to negotiate with it. Since it was crying, it might still have emotions, and it was kind, so it was willing to talk to me.

"Can you hear me crying?!" There was surprise in the voice.
