When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

"What do you want from me?" Lin Lezhi looked at Liu Yunhe clasping his hands and bowing, feeling confused. What was going on?

Yesterday he looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for sending my son back yesterday."

"You're welcome, it's easy."

Liu Yunhe looked into the room and found the package on the table. A look of worry rose between his brows, "Is Mr. Jiang going to leave?"

"Well, thank you for your hospitality, young master. Now that the person has been sent back to you safely, I won't bother you any more."

Seeing that Liu Yunhe still had something to say, Lin Lezhi asked, "Is there anything else?"

Liu Yunhe clasped his fists and said, "When Mr. Jiang sent my son back last night, he was not in a good condition. He seemed to have mistaken Mr. Jiang for someone else. Could you please ask Mr. Jiang to stay for a few more days until my son is better? We will pay for the room fee."

Liu Yunhe paused, and said with a somewhat uneasy look: "If I don't keep Master Jiang, I'm afraid my master will blame me."

What Liu Yunhe said made sense.

It's not easy for working people, and Lin Lezhi can understand Liu Yunhe's feelings very well.

Although I don't know what Xiao Xu's plan is, it would be nice to be able to stay for a few more days and have a leisurely life with food and drink, which is better than wandering around.

"Okay." Lin Lezhi agreed.

After hearing Lin Lezhi's reply, Liu Yunhe felt relieved, and then said with some worry: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang. My son is in poor health. I hope you can take good care of him."

Lin Lezhi nodded, then looked at Liu Yunhe and said, "Okay, I understand."

With nothing to do in the room, Lin Lezhi decided to take a walk around. He had been involved in the case since he came here and had not been able to calm down and appreciate the natural scenery.

Lin Lezhi was walking aimlessly on the road.

After living at home for a long time, facing the mobile phone and computer screens all day long, such a comfortable and relaxed life makes people feel unexpectedly comfortable.

"Lian An."

Suddenly hearing a voice, Lin Lezhi looked over and found it was Xiao Xu.

Seeing Lin Lezhi stopped, Xiao Xu quickly took a few steps to catch up, and said weakly: "Lian'an, why didn't you call me when you came out?"

Lin Lezhi lied on the spot: "I thought you were not feeling well, so I didn't bother you."

Xiao Xu smiled and said, "After a night's rest, I'm fine now."

Lin Lezhi looked back, but didn't see the little guard. Lin Lezhi said to Xiao Xu, "Why isn't your little personal guard with you?"

Xiao Xu said "hmm" softly, "I just want to go out for a walk. I don't think anything serious will happen, so I let him rest in the inn."

The two were walking on the road, and Xiao Xu suddenly pointed at a wisp of green smoke in the sky and asked, "Lian'an, what do you think that is?"

Lin Lezhi followed the direction of Xiao Xu's finger, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

It's blue smoke.

Before, Miss Sun Wan'er said that Jiang Lian'an had been active in this area for the past year, so she lit the cigarette in Yulong Village with the mentality of giving it a try.

Could it be that someone died again?

Lin Lezhi looked at Xiao Xu solemnly and said, "Let's go over and take a look."

"Yeah." Xiao Xu responded softly.

When he reached Qingyan's position, Lin Lezhi's pupils tightened and his brows furrowed.

This was no other place but the abandoned house of the rich man they had visited before.

The last time I came here, no one was willing to stop in front of this door.

At this moment, the area was crowded with people, and many people were looking inside curiously.

Lin Lezhi patted the shoulder of a man in front of him and asked, "Brother, may I ask, what happened in there?"

The elder brother looked back at Lin Lezhi, then continued to look into the yard, and said casually, "I don't know. I just passed by here, and saw so many people here, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity. I heard that someone died inside."

"Dead?"

Lin Lezhi was startled, then looked at Xiao Xu and said, "Xiao Xu, you are not feeling well, so go back first. I'll go in and see you at the inn later."

"No." Xiao Xu paused, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I want to go with you."

Lin Lezhi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Okay, then you follow me closely, and go back immediately if you feel uncomfortable."

Lin Lezhi and Xiao Xu squeezed in, their clothes becoming a mess.

Unexpectedly, there were so many people crowded outside the abandoned house, but there were not many people inside. Lin Lezhi and Xiao Xu looked at each other and walked towards the direction of Qingyan.

You can still see a few banknotes sporadically on the road, all of which are made of yellow paper in the shape of copper coins.

"These banknotes..." Lin Lezhi paused, picked up one and held it in his hand, then looked at Xiao Xu and said, "These are ghost money."

"Ghost money?" A hint of doubt appeared between Xiao Xu's brows.

"Yes, these banknotes are specially used to burn for the dead." Lin Lezhi said as he slowed down his pace.

The closer we got to the location of the green smoke, the more paper money for the dead there was on the road. There was also a group of beggars gathered around, who stood there in panic, as if they had lost their souls and were frightened out of their wits.

The mansion was huge, and after turning the last corner, we finally reached the spot where we could light the incense.

Lin Lezhi's eyes suddenly widened, and his pupils contracted instantly. The scene in front of him made his scalp tingle.

I saw a headless skeleton leaning against the wall, with the skull scattered casually on the ground. Under the skeleton were thousands of paper money for the dead, and in the hands of the skeleton was a cigarette.

The green smoke slowly rose and reached the sky.

Lin Lezhi was startled and turned his gaze to Xiao Xu, only to find that his face had also turned very pale.

Xiao Xu's lips moved slightly, and he seemed to be shocked by the scene before him, "This...what's going on?"

The whole place was filled with a weird atmosphere, which made people shudder, as if it was shrouded by an invisible terror.

The skull that fell to the ground, its empty eyes staring straight in the direction of the person coming, its mouth slightly open, as if whispering about a tragic past.

Lin Lezhi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Then he carefully observed the surroundings and saw a beggar huddled in the corner with a nervous look on his face. He kept repeating, "Ghost... Ghost, don't look for me, don't ask me, I don't know, I don't know anything."

Lin Lezhi walked up and patted the beggar's shoulder, and the beggar buried his head even deeper.

"Don't look for me. It's not me. I don't know."

"Don't be afraid, brother. I am a human, not a ghost. May I ask what happened here?"

Hearing this, the beggar's body trembled continuously, and then he raised his head doubtfully. Seeing that it was Lin Lezhi, he immediately grabbed Lin Lezhi's clothes and said with a terrified expression: "Master Jiang, save...save me, I'm haunted by a ghost, I don't want to die, save me."
