Looking for you in reincarnation
Chapter 42: Strange Cause of Death
Madam Sun said angrily with a fierce look on her face: "If it wasn't her, who else could it be? If it wasn't her, my son wouldn't be here! Then he wouldn't have jumped off the building!"
Si He's face turned cold. She poked her head out from behind Ning Ji, looked at the old woman, and said, "It's your son's moral character that's flawed, and I haven't even accused him of plotting against the law! He's a living being, how could I let him jump off a building on his own? Even ghosts can't stand people like him and can't help but enforce justice on behalf of heaven. You're conflating right and wrong and blaming others like this. Be careful, even the righteous ghosts won't let you go!"
Mrs. Sun was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her face turned pale and she couldn't speak.
"Little girl, be careful. My inn is not haunted!"
At this time, the owner of the inn couldn't help but speak out in defense. If the news of the haunting got out, he would not be able to keep his inn open!
Si He looked at the man. Sun Qiquan had told her before that the boss was also an accomplice!
"If it's not haunted, then why did Cousin Quan become possessed after he came in? Also, the servant just said that they came in to release the smoke, but your inn didn't do anything? Were you so negligent? Or were you in cahoots with Cousin Quan? You took his money, did something, and in the end, who knows what, you let him be possessed by the evil spirit? Did you kill him to silence him?"
The innkeeper's face turned pale at her random guesses, and Mrs. Sun, who was standing beside him, looked at him fiercely upon hearing her words.
"You're talking nonsense!" the innkeeper was furious.
At this time, the officer looked at the servant and asked, "Did your son conspire with this inn?"
The servant dared not to speak the truth and replied honestly: "Yes."
The innkeeper rolled his eyes and almost fainted!
"You killed my son?!" Madam Sun stared at the innkeeper with bloodshot eyes, her voice sounded like poison. She wanted to hit him to vent her anger, but was stopped.
"I didn't!" the innkeeper protested loudly.
The chief officer looked at the innkeeper with a cold gaze, "You conspired with others to commit a crime. Even if you didn't kill anyone, you have violated the laws of Dayan."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several officers immediately came forward and detained the innkeeper.
The innkeeper's face turned pale and his legs went weak. He was originally afraid that the truth would be revealed, but he didn't expect it to be revealed so soon. "I, I am innocent! I just took a little money to help you, I didn't do anything else, really! I am innocent!"
"Whether there is injustice or not, we will make the final decision after we investigate the case. Take him away."
At the command of the chief constable, several subordinate constables immediately escorted the man out.
The innkeeper was extremely regretful at this point, but he could only let the two officers drag him away.
Afterwards, the chief officer questioned everyone here one by one.
As for Si He, there was no evidence to prove that she was the murderer, and Sun Qiquan jumped off the building by himself. No one could be arrested without evidence, not to mention that it was just a case of suicide by the son of a merchant, and he didn't have a special identity, so it wasn't worth the government spending so much energy.
He just said that she couldn't leave the city until the case was closed.
Si He naturally nodded in agreement, looking as if she had a clear conscience.
Now, this inn is no longer habitable, and the officials have temporarily sealed it off until the case is closed.
Si He followed Ning Ji out of the inn. After a safe night, Si He breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Ji, who was standing by, said, "It's okay."
"Yeah." She responded and turned to look at the inn behind her. The officials had sealed off the inn and were driving out the guests.
Madam Sun was supported by her maid as she left. Her face was filled with grief, but when she saw Si He, her eyes were fierce, as if she wanted to eat her.
"Let's go." Ning Ji protected Si He to prevent the old woman from going crazy and hurting people. After all, the pain of losing a child can easily make people lose their minds.
"Yeah." Si He responded, not bothering to look at the old woman, and left with Ning Ji.
It was already late at night, so we could only find an inn nearby to stay.
Just as the two turned around and left, the immortal master of Taiyi Sect and the chief officer walked out of the inn.
The immortal master stopped and looked at the two people's backs as they left, thoughtfully.
"Master Guo?" The chief officer called him.
Guo Yi then withdrew his gaze and walked towards the government office with the chief officer. In addition to checking Sun Qiquan's body again, he also had to assist the government in handling the follow-up matters of Shitou Village.
Si He and Ning Jie reopened two rooms in an inn on the street.
But before entering the guest room, Ning Ji asked: "Didn't you notice anything unusual when you were in the room before?"
Si He looked into his deep eyes, her heart beating fast. It was as if his eyes could see through people's hearts. "I was a little nervous at the time and didn't pay attention..."
"Go to bed early." He didn't ask any more questions.
"it is good."
Si He entered the room and closed the door. She leaned against it with her back. Only then did she feel completely relieved.
This is really an unexpected disaster.
Mo Mo crawled out from his wrist, raised his head to look at her, and stuck out his tongue.
She lowered her head, raised her hand and touched its head. After a while, she walked to the bed and lay down to rest.
She hadn't noticed that Ning Ji, who was in the guest room opposite, was standing by the window, quietly looking in her direction. She also hadn't realized that she hadn't turned on the light after entering the guest room.
Adapting to the darkness is not something that ordinary people can do.
Ning Ji watched quietly for a while before closing the window.
……
Government office, morgue.
Guo Yi re-examined Sun Qiquan's body. In fact, he had already carefully checked it on the street before, but found nothing unusual.
This originally made him feel strange. After all, he had close contact with Sun Qiquan before he jumped off the building, and he did seem to be in a state of absent-mindedness. There must be something wrong here.
Especially when he saw Ning Ji in that inn, his doubts became even greater.
Others don’t know Ning Ji, but most of the disciples of Taiyi Sect know something about his abilities. It is hard to say whether Ning Ji’s hand in this.
But since Ning Ji was not present when the incident happened, he had no reason to express this suspicion.
"Master Guo, is there anything suspicious about this corpse?"
The chief officer was also very confused. It was impossible for a healthy person to jump off the building for no reason. After all, Sun Qiquan had planned to do something bad to Si's cousin.
In fact, he also believed that Sun Qiquan was possessed by an evil spirit, which was why he committed suicide. So at this moment, he didn't want to get close to the corpse, for fear of being contaminated by evil spirits.
Just like the Stone Village, it was severely harmed by evil spirits and all the people in the village died.
Anyway, Sun Qiquan was just the son of a merchant, insignificant. If he's dead, he's dead. We just need to close the case as soon as possible.
For now, we should deal with the affairs of Stone Village first. After all, the higher-ups are pressing for a deal on that matter.
Guo Yi frowned and shook his head.
The corpse in front of him really didn't look like it was possessed by evil spirits. He used several precious tools to test it, but found nothing unusual.
This is so strange!
