Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

After deciding where to eat, the four of them put down their work and left.

Murong Quan knew what was going on when he saw that Qiao Zihao had chosen a hotel owned by the Murong family.

......

"That scoundrel Murong!"

Already drunk, Qiao Zihao angrily cursed Murong Quan: "He's too cunning! He actually ran away secretly beforehand!"

"Fine, they can run away! But they even made me drink so much! To lower my guard! That's just too much!"

"Alright, alright!"

Shi Xiaxia, supporting Qiao Zihao who could barely walk, said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Who told you to be so silly? You got carried away after just a few words from him! You deserved to be forced to drink!"

"Xiaxia!" Qiao Zihao cried out, "You're not on my side anymore!"

"I misspoke! I misspoke!"

Shi Xiaxia didn't want to argue with the drunkard, so she went along with him and said, "Be more clever next time!"

"Damn Murong Quan! He eats and drinks for free every day!"

Qiao Zihao cursed angrily, "We were planning to leave early and keep him at the hotel, but he's so smart! He ran away faster than us! I'll make him pay sooner or later!"

After listening to Qiao Zihao's words, Shi Xiaxia shook her head helplessly.

In terms of personality, Qiao Zihao and Murong Quan are quite similar.

But Qiao Zihao is naturally straightforward and speaks without thinking, while Murong Quan is just pretending; he's not really as foolish as Qiao Zihao.

Unfortunately, Qiao Zihao hadn't realized it yet, so it was inevitable that he would suffer a loss and be tricked.

Shi Xiaxia helped the drunk Qiao Zihao slowly walk back to the villa.

As Shi Xiaxia passed by the villa where Shen Yuanshuang lived, she felt a strong aura of death rushing towards her.

Then, she immediately let go of Qiao Zihao, grabbed the female ghost that had been attached to Shen Yuanshuang's dress with her right hand, and held it tightly in her hand.

The female ghost realized she was no match for Shi Xiaxia and screamed and struggled.

Qiao Zihao was suddenly pushed away and sat heavily on the ground.

He clutched his buttocks, letting out a pig-like scream: "Ouch! Ouch! My butt!"

While rubbing her hands, she looked at Shi Xiaxia with a puzzled expression: "Xiaxia! What happened?"

"It's alright." Shi Xiaxia held the female ghost tightly.

Shen Yuanshuang is dead, but it wasn't this female ghost who did it.

This female ghost is searching for the next person she can possess; she seems to want to use this method to slowly find the murderer who killed her.

However, she was currently overwhelmed with resentment and had lost her rationality, so Shi Xiaxia knew she couldn't get any information out of her.

She intended to recite a spell to send her directly to reincarnation.

but......

Shi Xiaxia had a premonition that something else would happen, so she used the ring on her hand to seal her inside.

Then, talismans were used to cleanse the remaining malevolent energy of the female ghost.

"Xiaxia... I feel so dizzy... so many Xiaxias..."

Qiao Zihao tried to climb for a long time, but couldn't get up.

Shi Xiaxia helped him up again and said, "Shen Yuanshuang is dead. I'll take you back to rest first. I'll call the police later."

Qiao Zihao was dizzy and didn't understand what she said, he just kept saying okay.

After taking Qiao Zihao back to his room, Shi Xiaxia took out her phone and dialed the police.

Because it involved a murder case, the police acted very quickly, and soon police cars arrived with sirens blaring.

Late at night, the arrival of police cars broke the tranquility of the neighborhood, waking many residents.

At this moment, the scene was in complete chaos.

Some looked on with curiosity, trying to figure out what had happened.

Others emerged from the house grumbling and complaining that the police lacked public spirit and had disturbed their sleep.

A tall, stern-faced male police officer walked up to Shi Xiaxia, stared sharply at her, and asked, "Did you call the police?"

Shi Xiaxia nodded.

Then, she pointed to the villa where Shen Yuanshuang was: "Someone died inside."

However, before the male police officer could speak...

A woman dressed in sexy pajamas suddenly retorted emotionally, "Don't talk nonsense! We were taking a walk and chatting together tonight, she couldn't possibly be dead!"

The male police officer looked at Shi Xiaxia, his tone carrying a hint of warning: "Making a false police report will result in legal consequences."

Shi Xiaxia still said, "He is indeed dead."

The woman who had interrupted earlier persisted, "I think you're just trying to spread rumors about Yuan Shuang, making it up on purpose. Yuan Shuang looks perfectly healthy, how could she possibly be dead?"

Although she spoke with conviction, a closer look revealed that her body was trembling slightly.

She was afraid...

Faced with the woman's questioning, Shi Xiaxia merely glanced at her coldly and said, "What if she was murdered?"

The woman was startled by Shi Xiaxia's gaze and immediately fell silent, taking several steps back.

"Open the door."

Shi Xiaxia looked at the male police officer and said, "If I am lying, I will take full responsibility."

Seeing Xiaxia's resolute attitude, the male police officer nodded and then directed the other officers to break down the door and enter.

Upon opening the door, everyone immediately saw Shen Yuanshuang lying in a pool of blood.

Her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were closed, and her body was already cold.

Police quickly secured the scene and assigned personnel to investigate surveillance footage and question nearby residents.

As the person who reported the incident, Shi Xiaxia was naturally taken away by the police for investigation.

Even the woman who argued with Xiaxia was taken away by the police.

She had contact with Shen Yuanshuang in the evening, making her an important witness.

Not long after, Shen Yuanshuang's approximate time of death was determined, and at that time Shi Xiaxia was out having dinner with Qiao Zihao and Su Yueke.

With sufficient witnesses and physical evidence, the suspect was ruled out.

Meanwhile, police also discovered through surveillance footage that the wife of Mr. Wang, who was keeping Shen Yuanshuang as a mistress, had entered the villa and later left in a flustered manner.

Based on this discovery, the police initially listed him as a suspect.

Shortly afterward, fingerprints of Mr. Wang's wife were successfully extracted from the crime scene, and the murder weapon she used was found.

Unfortunately, because it was discovered too late, Mr. Wang's wife had already fled the capital under the cover of night.

Meanwhile, the woman who was refuting Shi Xiaxia also caught the attention of the police because of her unusual expression.

After much questioning, it was discovered that it was because of her information that President Wang's wife came to find Shen Yuanshuang.

Now that Shen Yuanshuang is dead, she is naturally feeling guilty and afraid.

However, the woman's behavior can only be described as immoral, not illegal, and the police cannot do anything to her.

After confirming that she was not a suspect, Shi Xiaxia received permission from the police to leave the police station.
