Looking for you in reincarnation

But Si He did not sleep, nor did she blow out the lights. She sat leaning on the edge of the bed, closing her eyes and resting, with one hand casually placed on her leg, her fingers tapping lightly.

Time passed by little by little, quietly and silently, until a quarter of an hour later, a group of hurried footsteps were heard.

Ning Ji opened his eyes and saw a group of people coming down from the building. Leading them was Sun Qiquan's servant. He was accompanied by a group of officials and was walking towards him in a hurry.

At this moment, the servant looked panic-stricken, while the officers were aggressive.

"This is it..." The servant pointed to the guest room where Si He had originally stayed with shaking hands and said to the officer, "After my master came out of the room, she hurried out. She looked strange at the time, but she was fine before I went in."

The officer first glanced at Ning Ji who was sitting in the corridor, and then looked at the guest room opposite.

"Where are the people inside?"

The leading judge had just finished asking the question when the door behind Ning Ji opened. Si He came out and looked at them in surprise.

"It's her!" The servant pointed his finger and identified her as soon as he saw her.

The others all looked at her, and at first they were amazed, and then they were afraid.

When Si He saw this, she was surprised and puzzled, and also a little scared. She stood behind Ning Ji, reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and asked, "What happened?"

Ning Ji stood in front of her, and then the leading officer asked, "Who are you? Why were you sitting at the door just now?"

Ning Ji said, "A thief came here before, and my cousin was frightened, so she temporarily stayed in my guest room. That's why I was guarding outside the door."

"Thief?" The chief officer narrowed his eyes. He glanced at the guest room, then at Si He. "Just now, a murder occurred outside. The young master of the Sun family fell to his death. According to the eyewitnesses at the scene, the young master of the Sun family was possessed by an evil spirit. This servant confessed that the young master of the Sun family became unwell after coming out of this guest room. Yet you say this tenant is a thief?"

"Cousin Quan fell to his death?" Si He looked at the officer in shock. "Was it Cousin Quan who broke into my guest room earlier?"

The chief officer observed her expression and asked, "The deceased is Sun Qiquan. You are his cousin? Why did he enter your room?"

Si He's eyes widened as she spoke in disbelief, "I'm his cousin, but I don't know why he came to my room. I hadn't slept yet, and when I heard some noise at the door, I thought there was a thief, so I hid. The thief came in a short while later and quickly ran out. I don't know what happened!"

The chief officer stared intently at her expression and asked, "This servant said you invited his son here, yet you call him a thief?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the servant beside him, who lowered his head in panic.

After Si He was shocked, she pointed at the servant angrily and said, "He slandered me! They came secretly and put smoke in my room. I was hiding in a corner by the window at the time. There was good air circulation there, so I was fine. Officer, you can check carefully. I didn't lie!"

Ning Ji pointed to the small hole in the door at the right moment and said, "Sir, please look, this is the evidence."

The chief officer looked at the small hole, then waved his hand and sent several subordinates in to check. At the same time, an immortal master who was accompanying him also went in.

The immortal master was from Taiyi Sect. He had noticed that Sun Qiquan looked strange, as if he was in a trance or possessed by an evil spirit. When he saw Sun Qiquan rushing up the stairs and about to jump down, the immortal master tried to stop him, but Sun Qiquan drew his sword and jumped down when the immortal master retreated.

Therefore, the officials asked the immortal master to come with them to take a look at the situation.

But before he entered, he glanced at Ning Ji with an unclear look in his eyes.

After a while, an officer came out to report, "Boss, there are indeed traces of smoke being used inside."

Upon hearing this, the chief officer looked at the servant with a slightly cold expression, "Do you know what the punishment is for lying? If you don't confess the truth, you will be suspected of murder. This lowly slave has harmed his master, and you deserve the death penalty!"

The servant's legs immediately gave way, nearly collapsing on the ground. He quickly confessed, "Master, spare me! I'll tell you, it was my son who coveted Si's cousin, so I came over and secretly released the smoke. But not long after he entered the room, he ran out as if possessed, and headed straight for Zuixianlou. It really had nothing to do with us! We know nothing."

The chief officer carefully examined the servant. After a moment, he looked back at Si He and asked, "Tell me, what did Sun Qiquan do after entering your room? Why did he jump from Zuixian Tower after leaving your room?"

Si He immediately defended herself, "I don't know! I thought it was a thief, so I hid behind the window. There was no light in the room, it was pitch black, and I didn't see anything. After a while, the person left. I was scared in the room, so I went downstairs to wait for my cousin Ning. I really don't know!"

The officer stared into her eyes and asked again, "Did you notice anything unusual in the room?"

"What's strange?" Si He was terrified when she heard what he said. "Are you saying this inn is haunted? Did my cousin Quan see a ghost in my room? No wonder I felt so eerie when I was in the room before!"

After saying that, she grabbed Ning Ji's sleeve in fear. Ning Ji lowered his eyes, looked at her, and let her grab him.

At this time, a group of people hurried up from downstairs. The leader was an old woman in elegant clothes. She looked mournful, "Sir, officer! You must seek justice for my child..."

The wailing sound echoed throughout the entire floor, and the impatient footsteps made the floor thump.

"quiet!"

The chief officer looked at the newcomer with an unhappy expression, "Officials are investigating a case, and outsiders are not allowed to disrupt official business!"

The old woman paused in her sobbing, then continued to cry, "Sir, I'm not an outsider. My son jumped off the building for no reason. There must be something behind it. He must have been murdered by someone else! You must find out the truth..."

It turned out to be the deceased's mother, Mrs. Sun.

I didn’t expect to find this place so quickly!

The chief officer looked at Madam Sun with an irritated expression and said, "We are currently investigating the case. Please wait patiently."

At this time, several officials and the Taiyi Sect's immortal master came out of the room. The leader of the officials immediately asked, "How is it?"

Several officers shook their heads and said in front of everyone that they had only found traces of smoke. As for evil spirits, they had not found any for the time being. After all, the immortal master had checked the entire room.

After the immortal master came out, he looked at Si He seriously, and then shook his head at the leader of the officials.

Upon seeing this, Madam Sun immediately jumped forward, pointing at Si He and cursing, "You evil vixen, you must have bewitched Quan Ge'er!"

Ning Ji stood in front of her and said in a cold voice, "Madam, please be careful with your words!"
