Chapter 939: The Detective Who Could See Ghosts (19)
No one was in the dining hall. Everyone was in the main hall now so while they were waiting for the dishes, Gu Zhi kissed Ming Shu.
Ming Shu bore with it since he brought her out to eat.
“Do you think that there is anything strange about this case?” Gu Zhi passed her the food while he questioned her.
“I don’t know.” I’m eating now. I don’t want to use my brain.
I must treat food with respect!
“The mayor’s son and his wife both died in the house. Only someone who is familiar with the layout of the house would be able to do this. However, everyone in the villa has an alibi. This is very strange.”
This was why there was no breakthrough in the case.
If someone hired a person to commit the murders... the person must be a professional killer.
If that was the case, it would be harder to solve the case.
Ming Shu paused for a while. “His daughter-in-law is a little weird.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know, she just feels weird.” Ming Shu lowered her head and ate her food.
The aura on her body was weird.
A pregnant lady should have a lively aura since there was new life inside her body.
However, the aura on the lady’s body... there was a hint of death aura on her.
It seemed as though the baby in her... was a dead child.
If she didn’t look at her closely, she would not notice it.
“Where...”
“Stop talking. You are interrupting my meal time.”
Gu Zhi shut up. He watched her eat her food quietly.
It was a pleasure to watch his wife eat.
Why was his wife so cute.
If any outsiders saw Gu Zhi now, they would think that he was a strange man who was looking at Ming Shu eating with a stupid smile.
After they finished the meal, they walked to the main hall together.
They saw a familiar person beside the mayor.
Yao Ying was talking to the mayor. There was a man that looked like her beside her.
Yao Ying saw Ming Shu and her expression changed instantly.
Snacks coupon.
Ming Shu smiled brightly at her.
She must be gentle to her snacks coupon.
However, in Yao Ying’s eyes, the smile was provocative and mocking...
She was reminded of her experience the other day.
She could still feel the pain on her body.
Father Yao glanced over too. His expression was amiable.
Father Yao greeted Gu Zhi. “Chief Gu is here too.”
Gu Zhi just nodded.
Although he was someone from the province bureau, he had another identity so it was all right for him to have such an attitude.
Father Yao and Gu Zhi talked for a while. They were talking about how they must catch the murderer.
After they finished, Father Yao asked, “This is...”
“The consultant that the province bureau invited.” Gu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly. “Is there any problem?”
Father Yao said, “No. I just feel that she looked familiar.”
Ming Shu replied with a smile, “I hit you daughter so it is all right for you to find me familiar-looking.”
Father Yao: “...”
Yao Ying felt her anger shooting up instantly.
How dare she talk about it.
Father Yao stopped Yao Ying from doing anything. This was the funeral of the mayor’s wife.
Father Yao still wore an amiable look on his face. “The consultant from the province bureau... has an interesting personality.”
Gu Zhi replied nonchalantly, “All consultants have an interesting personality.”
He was protecting Ming Shu.
Father Yao could see that.
How did the little girl from the Qian family get to know Gu Zhi?!
“Yes, yes, yes. People with abilities will have some form of temper. It is understandable,” Father Yao replied with a smile.
The mayor noticed that they were not on good terms so he said, “Mister Yao, this way please.”
Father Yao pulled Yao Ying along as he followed the mayor. Yao Ying was unwilling to just let Ming Shu off like this.
Gu Zhi held Ming Shu’s hand. “Why did you offend them?” Are you crazy!
“I’m happy and I wanted to do it. Can you stop me?”
Gu Zhi cursed in his heart. However, he was still patient and said, “Do you know what kind of person that man is?”
“Why is that any of my business?”
“You dare to provoke him without knowing his identity?” Are you looking for death!
“Do I need to look at the identity of a person to provoke them?”
It is not my style to bully those that are easily bullied.
I like to bully the hard ones and tame them.
Gu Zhi asked, “You don’t?”
Ming Shu replied, “Do I have to?”
Even if he is the emperor, I will still provoke him. If he wants to kill me, I will just lose some blood. Nothing serious will happen.
I will be alive and kicking after a few minutes!
I have the ability to come back from the dead on the spot. I have the right to be fearless.
Gu Zhi was speechless.
Calm down, calm down.
My wife is always right.
...
Another group of people came in the afternoon. Gu Zhi didn’t have the time to worry about Ming Shu so Ming Shu disappeared again.
She was in the small garden behind the villa.
The little garden was quiet. The daughter-in-law of the mayor sat with Yao Ying under the grapevines not far away.
Yao Ying seemed to be consoling the mayor’s daughter-in-law.
The two of them talked for a long while before Yao Ying got up and left.
After Yao Ying left, Ming Shu walked toward the mayor’s daughter-in-law.
The daughter-in-law raised her head slightly and got a shock. “Miss Qian, are you lost again?”
“No.” Ming Shu tilted her head and looked at her stomach. “What did she say to you?”
“Sister Yao Ying?” The mayor’s daughter-in-law was puzzled. “Nothing much. She just consoled me.”
“Your child...”
The mayor’s daughter-in-law touched her stomach instinctively. Her eyes dimmed. “This child... he didn’t even have the chance to see his father.”
“He’s dead.”
The mayor’s daughter-in-law didn’t understand Ming Shu at first.
She looked up at the lady in front of her.
Her smooth hair fell naturally down her back. She had beautiful features and she was smiling gently. Her eyes were clear.
“You...” The mayor’s daughter-in-law stood up with an unhappy expression.
What was she smiling at?
What was so funny about her husband’s death?
Ming Shu replied calmly, “I said that your child is dead.”
The mayor’s daughter-in-law widened her eyes. She got furious. “What nonsense are you saying!”
How could her child be dead?
Wasn’t she the consultant of the province bureau?
Why, why did she say this!
Ming Shu said, “If you don’t believe me, you can go for a checkup. It is very easy to check if the child is alive. It is not good for you to keep a dead child in your body. This child... seems a little weird. You better tell me what Yao Ying said to you.”
“What are you saying? How can my child be dead?” The mayor’s daughter-in-law stepped back in fear and disbelief. “Who are you? Don’t come over...”
“You heard what I said clearly.”
Humans would always choose not to hear what they didn’t want to hear.
The truth was cruel.
However, no matter how cruel it was, someone had to say it.
The mayor’s daughter-in-law shook her head.
No...
That was not possible.
She was spouting nonsense.
She ran out of the garden while protecting her stomach. Ming Shu didn’t move. The mayor’s daughter-in-law turned and ran into the villa.
Ming Shu retracted her gaze. She took a bunch of grapes from the grapevines.
[... Did you scare her away so that you could take the grapes?]
“Am I that kind of person?”
[Yes.] Its Guest could really do something like this.
“I am not.”
Ming Shu took a grape and popped it in her mouth.
So sour...
When the mayor’s daughter-in-law complained to the mayor and they came to the garden, they saw Ming Shu eating the bunch of grapes calmly in the garden.
Everyone: “...”
Ming Shu: “...” So sour.
