Chapter 938: The Detective Who Could See Ghosts (18)

By the time Gu Zhi finished his meeting, it was late at night.

He opened the door of his office and saw the girl collapsed in the chair with her head on the table. The light in the room was on. She was asleep.

Gu Zhi gently closed the door and walked to Ming Shu’s side. He bent down and picked her up.

Ming Shu opened her eyes and then closed them again.

Gu Zhi smiled. He carried her to the resting area inside his room.

Gu Zhi placed her on the bed and turned to take the case files. Then he changed his clothes and climbed into the bed.

The bed in the resting area was small. Gu Zhi needed to hug Ming Shu in order to fit into the bed.

Gu Zhi flipped through the files absentmindedly. He turned off the lights after a while.

It was so comfortable to hug his wife.

In the dark, Gu Zhi found Ming Shu’s cheek and kissed her. He was still not satisfied so her felt for her lips.

Ming Shu woke up. She raised her leg and kicked Gu Zhi.

Gu Zhi was caught off guard so he fell on the floor with a loud boom.

Gu Zhi let out a gasp. “Are you trying to kill me?”

Ming Shu took up the whole bed.

Gu Zhi’s mouth corners twitched. He climbed into bed. “I won’t kiss you anymore. I will just hug you to sleep.”

After coaxing Ming Shu for a long time, he obediently hugged his wife to sleep. He didn’t dare to do anything else.

Maybe it was because it was already late at night, Gu Zhi fell asleep really quickly.

...

In the mayor’s house...

The main hall had turned into a mourning hall. The portrait of the mayor’s wife was placed in the middle.

Right after the funeral of the mayor’s son, he had to organize another one for his wife. There was not even time for him to remove the funeral items in the main hall. The atmosphere in the villa was heavy.

Ming Shu didn’t expect Chen Wen to be there.

“Why are you here? Why are you dressed like this? Are you trying to go undercover?”

Chen Wen was wearing the servant uniform. He stood behind the crowd and greeted the people that came to mourn.

When Ming Shu suddenly appeared, he got a shock.

Chen Wen quickly looked around him. He saw that no one noticed them. He dragged Ming Shu into a corner. “I should be the one asking you. Why are you here?”

“I am here for a case,” Ming Shu replied naturally.

“Case? Who asked you to come?” The case was very sensitive so they would not invite other people to help them so easily.

Ming Shu pointed at the entrance with her chin.

Gu Zhi was talking to a man.

“Chief Gu?”

This case was transferred to the province bureau a long time ago.

After the last case ended, Gu Zhi went back to the province bureau so it was understandable that he was put in charge of this case.

What was unreasonable was...

Why are the two of them together?

Aren’t they supposed to be mortal enemies?

Ming Shu was curious. “Why are you undercover here?”

Chen Wen’s face turned black. He felt that she was mocking him when she said the word “undercover.”

Was it my imagination?

“To protect the mayor.”

The mayor’s son and wife both died in the house. For the murderer to kill his victims at the mayor’s house, he must be a lunatic.

They were at the mayor’s wife’s funeral now so they must protect the mayor.

There was not enough manpower in the province bureau so the people from the city bureau were transferred over to help.

Ming Shu said with an honest face, “The murderer is so impressive. If they really wanted to kill the mayor, you couldn’t stop them.”

“...”

I don’t want to talk to her.

Everything she says will hurt people.

Chen Wen saw someone coming over and instantly put distance between them. “You can see ghosts, right? Go and take a look inside and see if you can see the mayor’s wife. Ask her who killed her.”

Ming Shu: “...”

You think that anyone can become a ghost?

If that was really the case, the unseen world would be packed with ghosts.

Ming Shu walked into the villa. Gu Zhi was talking to the mayor so he didn’t have the time to look after her. Ming Shu managed to walk around the entire villa in a short period of time.

The villa was very clean.

There was no ghost at all.

How could she solve the case if there was no ghost?

I don’t want to waste my energy to look for evidence...

“Be careful. There are a lot of guests today. Don’t create trouble for the guests.”

A young lady walked towards her while ordering the servants beside her.

The servants nodded their heads to acknowledge the lady.

“You...” The lady saw Ming Shu and stopped in her tracks. She asked curiously, “Miss, why are you here?”

“I got lost.”

Ming Shu kept a straight face while lying.

The woman was puzzled. The villa was not big. There was sad music playing in front. How could she get lost?

“Let me take you to the main hall then.” The lady didn’t probe further. She gave a forced smile and signaled for Ming Shu to follow her.

Ming Shu didn’t object and followed the lady to the main hall.

The lady was the wife of the mayor’s son. They were married for less than a year.

“Ou...”

Halfway though, the lady started covering her mouth and retched. The servants immediately went up to her.

The lady took a while to recover. She said apologetically to Ming Shu, “I’m sorry about this.”

Ming Shu stared at her stomach. “You’re pregnant?”

The lady didn’t deny it. She nodded. Her expression was lonely and depressed.

Her husband died the moment she was pregnant.

The servants beside her looked at her with pity.

The lady regained her composure and continued escorting Ming Shu to the main hall. The mayor was standing with Gu Zhi.

“Father.”

“Why are you not resting in your room?” the mayor said with a serious face.

The lady replied, “This lady was lost. I brought her here.”

The mayor looked at Ming Shu sharply.

Gu Zhi dragged her to his side. “This is the consultant that the province bureau invited. She is one of us. Please do not worry.”

The mayor sized up Ming Shu. He must have thought that she looked too young.

The mayor looked at Gu Zhi who was young too. He nodded his head and went to talk to the lady.

Gu Zhi pulled Ming Shu to the side. He didn’t let go of her hand. “Where did you go?”

“I went to take a look around.”

Gu Zhi didn’t blame her. “Did you notice anything?”

“Nope.” There was not a single ghost in this huge villa.

There were no ghosts around the villa too.

This was strange.

“A lot of people came today. You will stay by my side later and not run away on your own.” Gu Zhi reminded her, “If you find anything, tell me first. Don’t go and investigate it alone. I will be worried. Do you understand?”

“Are you afraid that I will steal your fame?”

Gu Zhi’s mouth corners twitched. “Am I that kind of person in your eyes?”

Ming Shu smiled. “You cannot judge a book by its cover. Who knows what you’re thinking in your heart?”

If they were in another place, Gu Zhi would kiss Ming Shu to shut her up.

Why is she so irritating?

Gu Zhi hit Ming Shu’s head and whispered into Ming Shu’s ear.

“I am only thinking about you.”

He turned and walked toward the crowd after he finished speaking.

Ming Shu stood there for a few seconds before following him.

The mayor greeted the people who came to the funeral. Ming Shu and Gu Zhi stood beside him.

Ming Shu looked at the people walking around.

I want to eat.

When is this ending?

So hungry.

The mayor had to thank a bunch of hypocrites that came to console him. Is he not tired?

Why can’t they be more transparent?

When can I eat...

Gu Zhi felt Ming Shu leaning against him. He glanced sideways. She was looking down and thinking about something. Gu Zhi felt that she was depressed.

He glanced at the time. It was almost noon.

Was she hungry?

Gu Zhi’s heart hurt for her.

There were fewer people now so Gu Zhi lowered his voice and spoke to the mayor. Then, he whispered to Ming Shu, “Shall I take you out to have a meal?”

Ming Shu raised her head. Her eyes glittered.

Gu Zhi controlled the urges in his heart and left the main hall with her.
