Those people under Lin Wei's command learned that the loyal and brave general Xiao Chumo had also come here, although they still didn't dare to go into the courtyard again, but they were a little more energetic.

After all, Xiao Chumo is famous in the Ning Kingdom and is the object of worship of many men. In particular, the people of Kyoto are very familiar with this name.

If it were another official, seeing the people under him so convinced of other people's arrangements, I am afraid that I would have started to be unhappy a long time ago. But Lin Wei himself has a good character, and he also admires Xiao Chumo in his heart. At this time, seeing that these people finally took it seriously, I felt a little comforted.

In the next time, Lin Wei took Xiao Chumo to the outside of the abandoned mansion first, and then the two walked into the mansion together to take a cursory look.

In fact, you don't need to go in, I don't know how many years this house has been abandoned, and the walls have collapsed a lot. By the time they came around from the outside, they could already see most of the inside of the house.

It's just that this house seems to have been built by a large family in the past, and although the area is not very wide, it also separates several side courtyards from the main courtyard. If Xiao Chumo wanted to see the layout inside, he still had to walk in.

Before this, Lin Wei had already entered the courtyard to check it briefly, and the people under his hands were no longer willing to step inside, so he had to personally take Xiao Chumo from the courtyards to pass.

"Is it the same courtyard where the noise came from and the figure appeared?"

Xiao Chumo had a cursory understanding of the layout of this mansion, and then asked Lin Wei.

The latter nodded, pointed to the courtyard gate not far ahead, and replied, "Yes, it is the courtyard in front, which happens to be the main courtyard." I think it should be the place where the hostess lived back then. ”

"Let's go over and have a look."

Xiao Chumo frowned and said, raised his feet and walked towards the courtyard gate. didn't take two steps, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Lin Wei who seemed a little nervous.

He knew that the courage of these civil officials had always been not great, and Lin Wei had seen that strange scene with his own eyes before, so it was normal for him to have palpitations. Therefore, although I was a little unhappy in my heart, I did not blame him.

It's just that seeing that the latter was still a little hesitant, he still shouted coldly: "What's so terrible? Not to mention that the thing has not yet appeared, and even if it did, it was still daytime, so what could it do to me? ”

What Xiao Chumo said was very reasonable, and Lin Wei was not afraid to the point of guarding the guards at the door. After hearing Xiao Chumo's words, he finally relaxed a little, calmed down, and led the former into the courtyard.

"It's a shame to say that the lower officials have been here to investigate for a few days, but when they really enter this courtyard, they only go back and forth only three times."

They all say that they don't do bad things and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Although he Lin Wei is not a good person, he doesn't do anything harmful to nature and reason on weekdays. Being able to be frightened by such a thing is indeed because his heart is not firm enough.

Xiao Chumo didn't care about what Lin Wei was thinking, he just silently looked at the scene in front of him.

Maybe it's because the main courtyard is in the very center of the whole house, and even if the places you saw along the way are more or less dilapidated, it's still intact, and it just looks a little old.

Because it has been uninhabited for many years, the courtyard wall has begun to crack, and it looks like it will become the same as the courtyards outside in a few years. The flowers and plants in the yard gradually became overgrown because no one pruned them, and it was no longer possible to tell which one was the real flower.

Looking at the row of rooms in front of him, Xiao Chumo asked, "Did the shadow of the woman you saw before appear in the main house over there?" ”

Since Lin Wei guessed that the woman who was dressing up was the hostess here, it should be in the main house. It's just that in order to prevent mistakes, he still has to ask first.

The latter naturally nodded.

Seeing that Xiao Chumo raised his hand and was about to push the door in, Lin Wei hurriedly followed: "The subordinate here has already brought people to see the figure before seeing it, but there are only some dusty tables, chairs and benches, and there is nothing abnormal. ”

His words were originally to report to Xiao Chumo what he had already investigated, and of course he also meant that the latter should not repeat the investigation in vain.

But Xiao Chumo didn't seem to hear it, and still pushed the door open and went in.

As Lin Wei said, there is only simple furniture in this main house, as well as a dressing table. However, there are still a few rouge boxes and a wooden comb on the dresser.

Women love beauty, and they have to comb their hair every day. But now these things are still left here in good shape, and it is not difficult to see that this family left in a hurry.

Xiao Chumo looked at the deteriorated rouge in the small box, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The person who can build such a large house is undoubtedly financially abundant. It's not that the family offended someone back then, and the enemy's power is also very good. I didn't even bother to take the comb, so I hurriedly moved my family?

Xiao Chumo was puzzled in his heart, and Lin Wei, who happened to be in charge of investigating this matter, followed beside him. So he unceremoniously ordered: "Lord Lao Fu Lin sent someone to help me find out who the owner of this mansion was back then, and why he left here. ”

The latter thought that he had seen something wrong, and that he had come specifically to help him investigate the case. didn't shirk at the moment, but happily agreed.

Xiao Chumo walked around the room twice, except for seeing that the family was in a hurry back then, he didn't find anything related to the "dressing ghost".

Lin Wei had seen it before, so he was not disappointed. And now he is also anxious to investigate the original owner of this place according to his instructions, and he can't help but be a little impatient.

Just as the two of them were about to leave here, Xiao Chumo suddenly let out a "huh", and his eyes seemed to be attracted by something.

"What's the matter, but what clues have you found?"

Lin Wei hurriedly turned his head and looked towards his line of sight. All he could see, however, was a few drops of wax dripping from under the lampstand.

Looking at Xiao Chumo's suddenly serious look, Lin Wei was a little puzzled. It's just wax oil, and it's not uncommon for candles to be left behind after they burn. I don't know what to see.

"General, this ......"

"Take a good look at it and think about it."

The former didn't explain anything, and after leaving this sentence, he quickly withdrew his gaze and walked outside. It's just that in his heart, he has already come to a rough conclusion about the rumors of the so-called female ghosts.

Lin Wei was a little baffled by Xiao Chumo's brainless words, and stared at those few drops of wax oil for a while, and finally understood, revealing a look of sudden realization.

raised his hand and patted his head, and hurriedly chased after Xiao Chumo.
