The Hunt for Murder (2)

let him be. He should know the consequences of his evil deeds himself. Cultivators naturally understand cause and effect, and those who fall into the wrong path should understand this even more—either...Hunt a criminal I didn't understand his meaning.

Lin Yanhuan, with his poker face, revealed a faint smile: "Miss Mu's move is extraordinary. Although we met by chance, you helped me again. I'm very grateful and would like to ask you to help me find out who used this method against me."

"...I'm not a police officer or detective, I won't investigate." I shook my head.

"Can you see that thing If you can deal with it, then we can investigate... That thing tried to harm me three or four times, there must be someone behind the scenes... I don't remember harming anyone, so there shouldn't be any vengeful spirits haunting me... It would be best if we could find the mastermind behind this. If I can't deal with ghosts, I should be able to deal with these people" He let out a cold laugh.

I twitched my lips. What kind of person is this! Knowing they've been targeted by a ghost, they're not afraid, but instead sharpening their knives and preparing to take on the mastermind behind it all!

He looked straight at me: "Miss Mu, I'm not very familiar with the pay rates in your industry. But since the Hou family invited you and you can open up five million, then I naturally can't be lower than your worth. Five million, how about it"

This kind of person who reeks of copper, and whose first solution to everything is money —

I'm so envious of you.

With another five million, Dad will have almost the ten million he needs.

To bend the knee for five million, it's not too humiliating.

"Alright, I'll go discuss with my brother. If we need to ask you some questions, we hope you'll cooperate."

He clapped his hands and said, "Of course, Miss Mu, please take this phone. My phone number is stored inside."

What A phone number to get a free phone!

"You could just tell me the number, couldn't you" I wondered. "There's no need to burn money like that, is there"

Lin Yanhuan gave me a slight smile and explained, "This phone is custom-made with a special communication frequency band. It won't be tapped. If you need to find me, please use this phone to contact me. All other numbers will be intercepted."

I feel a little uneasy—what kind of person is this guy

"Ah… right, I wonder if Miss Mu has any talismans to ward off evil spirits Before this, I didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so I never got acquainted with professionals in this field. Counting it up, Miss Mu is the first person in this industry I’ve met.”

I... I'm just a self-taught amateur, okay

I dare not take this tall hat, I still rely on the name seal given to me by Jiang Qiyun before I dared to subdue ghosts... Other mages work hard to recite spells, draw talismans, chant incantations, and use numerous magic implements. They also set up altars for rituals and fight wits and courage with evil spirits…

And I, all I had to do was hold my head and silently recite the Fèngdu Bǎogào. Jiang Qiyún gave me such a big back door!

Although it was for the protection of the unborn child, I certainly benefited from it.

"If you're looking for talismans to ward off evil, come take a look at my shop. My brother is better at that kind of thing."

Lin Yanhuan narrowed her eyes slightly: “ ... It's the Yin Shang Mu family, right The data says you once sold some things to the Hou family.”

“Mr. Lin, if you keep searching my house like this, I’ll have my brother stop seeing guests.” I said unhappily.

"Sorry, won't happen again." His smile was sharp, he said in a low voice, "From now on, if I want to know something, I'll come to ask Miss Mu personally…"

My heart was pounding, and I had a sneaking suspicion that I'd gotten in over my head.

I came to the small conference room to look for Song Wei. As soon as I walked in, the scene almost knocked me out!

Song Wei actually... My ancestors!

She was actually straddling the male bodyguard who was supposed to be watching her!

The scene was too terrifying. I stood frozen at the door, listening to Song Wei still muttering to herself.

"Aren't you deaf and mute You don't even blink."

"...or are you sick Is it erectile dysfunction That's strange... There's no reaction like this..."

My scalp was tingling. I knew Song Wei was a tomboy and a seasoned player, always throwing out dirty jokes, but I never expected her to be this brazen!

You're under house arrest now! Miss Song, be serious for once!

Song Wei saw me and immediately jumped down from the person's legs, pointing at the male bodyguard and saying, "Xiao Qiao, this guy is definitely suspicious! He looks like a dead person, not blinking his eyes once! If he didn't have a heartbeat, I would call 120!"

I speechless rubbed my forehead: "Song Wei, young lady, do you know that there are times and places for teasing people You're under house arrest... You're calling 120 Are you trying to get yourself sent to the hospital after angering someone"

Song Wei curled her lip and said, "What value would I have for being kept under house arrest My family is poor, we can't even afford a ransom... hey, how about you Did you see that young master Was he a pervert"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

When I got off at my front door, my brother was squatting at the entrance of our shop, directing Mr. Chen to sweep and water the floor – how did this old man become our shop assistant!

My brother's eyes widened when he saw me getting out of the Maybach. He asked, "You...when did you get to know someone so wealthy"

I rolled my eyes and said, “It's not that long ago…”

I ranted to my brother about Lin Yanhuan's terrible behavior, saying that this guy must be a psychologically disturbed freak. Not only is he not afraid of ghosts, but he also made me investigate the murderer who wanted to harm him.

My brother's face was very serious. He tapped on the table and scolded me: "Xiao Qiao, this is what you did wrong."

"Me What's wrong with me" I looked at him in confusion.

"How can you call our five million dollar investor a pervert Your attitude is clearly problematic!"

"......"

"But luckily you still remember our family is a businessman, hehehe... When he comes to buy talismans, I'll take advantage of him and make a good profit! Hey, Xiao Qiao, hurry up and cook. After we eat, let's go buy some goods!"

"Purchasing I was taken aback, could it be another trip to the Ghost Market"

The talismans are running out, we need to buy some more. Last time we went to the East Market, this time let's go to the West Market!

Given how liberally my brother uses talismans, I feel like buying just two scrolls wouldn't be enough for him.

People only need to stick one talisman when they encounter a ghost, but he wanted to give the ghost a facial mask and kept slapping them on frantically. The two scrolls of talismans cost 40,000 yuan, and he had wasted almost all of them in just one month.

My brother once told me that the Ghost Market is a special area drawn out at the foot of Yin Mountain. You can't speak on the streets, but you can inside the shops. Most of the operators there are "humans," but there might be some non-human things as well.

"Hey, aren't we going to the back of the cemetery this time" I noticed he was taking a different path.

My brother drove leisurely and replied, “The entrance to the Western Market is different from the Eastern Market... The entrance to the Eastern Market is usually in an ordinary place of extreme Yin, but the entrance to the Western Market... is in a vicious place of extreme Yin.”

I was a little scared and asked in a low voice, "How many times have you been there"

My brother smiled awkwardly.vered my eyes, the hissing around me relentless, a constant assault on my eardrums. I could feel the air grow cold and thick, as if even the soil beneath my feet was tainted with poison.It was strange...
