#Detective Headline: Qian Sui Interrogates A Ghost Whenever Unhappy#
Ring...
Ming Shu raised her head in a rush. She looked around and rested her eyes on the ringing landline phone before her.
She reached out her hand.
“Hello?”
“Miss Qian, have you made any progress on my matter? Can you do it or not, you can’t receive the money yet do nothing...”
A woman’s voice came from the other side of the phone. She spoke quickly, with a hidden rage.
“...Soon.”
Ming Shu didn’t really know what she was talking about and just gave a vague answer. Then, ignoring the ferocious rage spilling her eardrum, she hung up the phone and pulled off the line.
Her smooth movement was like floating clouds and flowing water.
The fake female protagonist in this world was Yao Ying.
Yao Ying was beautiful and talented, a typical fair lady from a rich family.
Yao Ying liked Meng Han, but Meng Han liked someone else. Yao Ying didn’t know who it was and didn’t see who it was around Meng Han. Meng Han’s friends told Yao Ying that the person had died.
Yao Ying still liked Meng Han and accompanied him. She believed one day Meng Han would see her true heart and accept her.
But after Meng Han met another girl, things became totally different.
Meng Han started meeting with that girl very frequently.
Yao Ying asked Meng Han’s friends, and they told her this girl was not the same one that Meng Han liked before. They looked different and had different names.
Yao Ying was irritated.
Why would Meng Han rather like someone he didn’t know for long than see her true heart?
Yao Ying investigated that girl and the results surprised her. She found the girl once had plastic surgery and approached Meng Han purposefully. She even had a kid.
Yao Ying thought she had found important evidence and could make Meng Han see through the girl.
But she didn’t expect that after learning the girl had a child, Meng Han became even crazier.
Yao Ying then found out the child was like Meng Han.
Yao Ying didn’t want them to be together and continued her investigation on the girl.
The organization Yao Ying turned to for help was exactly the 13th Month Firm where the Host was employed.
The Host was quite busy when Yao Ying went to her, so she rejected the order.
After being rejected several times, Yao Ying felt hatred against the Host.
Yao Ying caused trouble for the Host and ruined her orders for several months.
But as Meng Han and the girl became closer and closer, Yao Ying got worse.
Later when Yao Ying and Meng Han went to a class reunion, Meng Han also took the girl with him.
The gathering was held in a mountain villa, and someone in the gathering got killed. The police determined the person was murdered, but everyone present had an alibi and no one seemed to be the murderer.
The victim’s family hired Ming Shu to investigate the case.
Then before she made any progress, the police suddenly came to her and claimed she was the murderer. They provided solid evidence, including human testimony and material evidence, even surveillance camera footage, so the Host had no way to defend herself.
The Host didn’t want to be imprisoned so she escaped. But she kept looking for the truth in secret.
Several more people were killed after the first case, and they all showed that the Host was present or had left traces which could prove she was the murderer.
The Host didn’t find any clue until the girl was also killed in the end.
It was Yao Ying.
Yao Ying committed the crimes neatly and the Host couldn’t find any evidence.
The Host had no other options, so she decided to have a face-to-face confrontation with Yao Ying.
Yao Ying prepared ahead and waited for the Host to offer her life.
The Host struggled and escaped.
But after that, the Host began to blacken. She observed Yao Ying and found Yao Ying was very cautious.
Without any chance to do anything to Yao Ying, the Host then decided to begin from the people around Yao Ying.
A battle began and two sides were involved.
At the very last moment, the Host lost the fight.
Yao Ying managed to remove her greatest rival in love; Yao Ying couldn’t make Meng Han love her but she was pregnant with Meng Han’s child. Finally, with the help of the Meng family, she married her desired man.
While the Host ended up spending her later life in prison.
That was right. The fake female protagonist in this world blackened in the end.
It was supposed to be a storyline where the pregnant female protagonist came back with her child and sought revenge, who was physically and mentally abusive, but then it was changed by the fake female protagonist into a storyline of dealing with murder cases.
The Host was very unlucky...
[The Host’s wish is to find her father.]
Ah?
Shouldn’t it be wishing to know why she would become the fake female protagonist’s scapegoat?
What’s this finding her father?
...
The 13th Month Firm had only one boss and one employee—both of which was her.
Normally her job was to investigate for the client matters like “if my husband was cheating on me” or “if my wife was cheating on me,” something like that.
There were two fancy words for people working this job—private detective.
The Host had a fancy name.
Qian Sui.
It meant a person in power; it also meant a person who could live a thousand years.
How did that sound!
If her last name was Wan, she would be called Wan Sui, which meant a powerful person that could live ten thousand years.
What kind of powerful father would name his child such a powerful name?
Well, speaking of her father...
The Host’s biological father went missing when she was eight years old and was nowhere to be found since then.
When the Host was ten, her mother remarried and abandoned her.
After that, the Host began living in the welfare house and never saw her mother again.
The Host wasn’t abused in the welfare house, thankfully, but there were too many children there, and the Host didn’t really get much attention and love.
The only thing that gave her warmth and energy was her memories of being with her father.
As the Host grew older, she became more and more determined to find her father.
It could be counted as an obsession.
The little tadpole wanted to find her father!
Ming Shu rubbed the skin between her eyebrows.
She looked at the small office. It was indeed not large, a total of less than twenty square meters, and the piled things made it look even smaller.
Most importantly...
What’s that shit thing squatting in the corner?
The storyline didn’t say the Host could see non-human creatures!
The ghost in the corner revealed its hideous face and tried to scare Ming Shu.
Ming Shu picked up the book next to her and threw it at the thing. “Screw you.”
How dare you frighten me!
You’re bold!
The book went through the ghost’s body and crashed into the wall with a dull thud.
The ghost: “...”
The ghost had been squatting here for a long time, but the woman never paid any attention to it before. No matter what it did, she didn’t seem to care about it.
In the Host’s memory, this ghost had indeed been here for a long time.
The Host was born with the ability to see ghosts. When she was a child, she was also very scared; but gradually she found these ghosts would only scare her and wouldn’t cause her any harm, so she slowly overcame the horror.
Ignoring the dumbfounded little ghost, Ming Shu went out and bought a bunch of snacks.
The storyline now was when the fake female protagonist had already come to ask for the Host’s help, but was refused.
The order the Host was handling now arrived right after the Host rejected the fake female protagonist.
But it was actually arranged by the angry fake female protagonist and meant to cause trouble for the Host.
Ming Shu took out her phone and found the woman who just called her...
Customer245?
Looks like the Host is having some good business!
Ming Shu checked the records on her phone but didn’t find any useful information.
She made up a random conclusion and sent it to the woman.
The other party replied soon.
Customer245: Miss Qian, what do you mean?
Qian Sui the powerful: I’m playing you.
Customer245: What are you saying?
Qian Sui the powerful: You played me, so I’m now playing you.
The other party paused and seemed to be startled by this sentence.
But soon another message came in.
Customer245: Miss Qian, this is your service attitude?
Qian Sui the powerful: Yes, are you not convinced? Come and beat me!
Ming Shu added several more annoying emojis and then blocked her.
Refund?
Nonsense. Shouldn’t she pay for my snacks?
