Chapter Twenty-Six: Coming Back from the Dead?

Time went back to a day ago, Bai Qiuchi helped Jinxu and Wei'er open the little guy guarding the door, and after letting them go out smoothly, he turned around and walked back.

Passing by the lotus pond, I saw a woman in disheveled clothes and disheveled hair sitting on the ground in a daze.

Bai Qiuchi hurriedly ran over to see that it was a maid, and her expression was very trance-like.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Bai Qiuchi squatted down and called her.

She was startled and immediately sat up straight. Seeing that she had a reaction, Bai Qiuchi immediately pressed a few times on the acupuncture points of several of her main nerves, and slowly, she seemed to ease up.

"What's your name, girl?" Bai Qiuchi wanted to see if she had lost her speech function.

"Hmm......" The girl's eyes gradually focused, and she saw clearly that Bai Qiuchi was in front of her, and immediately grabbed the straw that saved her life, and grabbed Bai Qiuchi's arm fiercely, "Xuan...... Son, my name is Xuan'er. ”

The name Xuan'er is a bit familiar...... By the way, she was the maid who changed shifts last night.

"Miss Xuan'er, what's wrong with you?" Bai Qiuchi wanted to pick her up, but she didn't mean to let go of her hand at all.

"Bai Dao Chang...... It's horrible...... I...... I saw ......" Xuan'er had a frightened expression on her face, and she couldn't speak.

"Don't panic, speak slowly." Bai Qiuchi comforted in a gentle tone.

"Wan'er......" When Xuan'er said the name, she began to cough.

"Wan'er?" Bai Qiuchi hurriedly gave her a good breath.

"That's right, it's the dead Wan'er...... I've seen her with my own eyes...... But I saw her ...... "Xuan'er's hand became tighter and tighter.

What the? How could Wan'er possibly appear? He had clearly judged her death himself.

"Miss Xuan'er, you get up first, sit down and tell me slowly, don't leave a single detail behind." Bai Qiuchi gently pressed her acupuncture points again, made her relax a little, and helped her to the pavilion by the pool to sit down.

"Thank you, Bai Dao Chief, I'm much better." Xuan'er nodded, reassuring Bai Qiuchi, and continued, "I think it should be said from the fact that I went to change shifts last night, last night I went to change Cui'er's class temporarily, and I went to the young lady's place." Cui'er took care of the young lady all day long, she was very tired, and I took the initiative to ask to take her place. ”

"How's the young lady?" Bai Qiuchi asked.

"Still unconscious, Cui'er told me, in fact, she doesn't wake up for the time being, on the other hand, it's fine. Although I am not the young lady's personal maid, in fact, I also feel that the young lady is very pitiful, and she has been holding on, and now there is no danger to her life, so it's not bad to take a break. ”

"Yes, but if the young lady wakes up, we'll know what happened that day." Bai Qiuchi sighed, when he talked to the second young master before, he knew that the young lady was not doing well here.

"Cui'er confessed for a long time last night before leaving. In the middle of the night, I was waiting beside the young lady, when suddenly a gust of wind blew the window open, and the wind blew out all the lamps on the table, so I quickly got up and closed the window, and then went to look for candles. When I turned around, I saw a figure, dressed in white, standing by the young lady's bed and looking at her, I was so frightened that I couldn't even make a sound, and threw all the candles on the ground, I subconsciously looked down at the candles that fell on the ground, and when I looked up again, I found nothing. When she said these words, although Xuan'er was afraid, she still tried to recall and try to tell the details, so it was a little intermittent.

"And then?"

I quickly picked up the candle and lit it, and found that the young lady was still the same as before, and there was no change around her. So I thought it was because I hadn't been on the night shift for too long and was so tired that I didn't dare to scare myself too much. ”

"Do you see the figure's face clearly?"

"No, she's with her back to me, white and her hair is loose." Xuan'er said with certainty. 、

"Did you tell Steward Mo about this earlier?"

"No, because nothing happened after that, I thought it must have been very nervous recently, and I was very tired from the vigil, so I was dazzled and hallucinated."

"But what did you just say about Wan'er?"

"I was the last one to ask, so I was alone after coming out of Steward Mo's place, and I wanted to go back to my room to rest. Maybe he was too sleepy, and he was frightened when he heard about the eldest lady, and he walked to the lotus well unconsciously. It was on the path there that I saw Wan'er! Speaking of this, Xuan'er took a deep breath, "It's still the back of a person wearing white clothes with loose hair, but the clothes are full of bloodstains, and I didn't react at the time, so I was stunned." At this time, she turned her face, and I recognized that it was Wan'er, who had died. My mind went blank, and I turned around and ran, not knowing where I was running, and I didn't dare to look back to see if she was following, just ran as hard as I could. ”

"Did anything happen to you at the lotus pond at the end?"

"I don't have any impression, I should have sat here by myself, and she didn't seem to follow." Xuan'er shook her head.

"Are you sure it's Wan'er?" Bai Qiuchi asked her seriously again.

"You can't be wrong, that dress of hers is...... She was wearing it when I found her that day. Xuan'er said affirmatively.

"In that case......"

"Bai Dao Chief?" Steward Mo happened to take a few family members to inspect here, and when he saw them in the pavilion, he came over to take a look.

"I've arranged for my subordinates as you ordered." In the case of death again, Steward Mo arranged more team members to patrol according to Bai Qiuchi's suggestion, and also increased the number of people who kept vigil.

"Thank you for your hard work, Steward Mo."

"It's okay, I have to thank you for working so hard."

"Steward Mo, Miss Xuan'er will ask you to take care of me, I have something important to do soon."

"Okay, don't worry, go get busy."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to the direction pointed out by Steward Mo, Bai Qiuchi came to the Ice Pavilion in the north in the shortest time and at the fastest speed. He pushed open the heavy door and saw a chill blowing in his face. There was a corpse on each of the two platforms, one high and one low, covered with two white cloths. When I walked over and opened it, I saw that the eldest lady on the high platform was the eldest lady, and the one on the low platform was Wan'er.

It's still the same as it was brought in, and there is no change in the slightest. Bai Qiuchi carefully investigated, Wan'er was cold, and she didn't breathe or pulse at all. Cui'er had already changed her into a clean white dress, and if she didn't think about it, it was like she was sleeping.

The body was still there, but Xuan'er said that she saw Wan'er, and it didn't look like she was lying. Did she see Wan'er? If it's Wan'er, is it a human or a ghost? If it's not Wan'er, then who is pretending to be a ghost?

Bai Qiuchi thought about these strange things while walking, and he didn't know if the Jinxu was going smoothly.

At this time, a white dove and a paper ball floating with an enchantment flew in front of Bai Qiuchi's eyes almost at the same time.

It's brocade!

Bai Qiuchi hurriedly recited the mantra, unlocked the enchantment, and quickly read Jinxu's letter, learned about the situation over there, and knew Jinxu's next plan. His mind raced, and he took out the tool he had with him and sent a text message back, saying that everything was normal here so that she would not be distracted.

Tonight, Bai Qiuchi plans to come out to explore the situation, the Ice Pavilion, the Lotus Well, and the young lady's room. It is estimated that there will not be such a quick movement over there in the jewelry box.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was night, Bai Qiuchi was pranayama in the dark, and felt a very slight almost imperceptible sound, and following the sound, he found that there was a small point of light in the window, although it was very faint, but it was very clear compared to the dark room. After a while, a tube came in.

It's smoke!

I didn't expect it to come so soon. I thought that the person who was going to steal the box would at least avoid the limelight these days, but he was so bold.

Bai Qiuchi planned to plan and see who it was, so he quickly held his breath, set up a simple enchantment, adjusted his state, and lay down and pretended to be asleep.

After a while, it may be that the people outside wanted to wait for the state of the inside to stabilize, so they carefully and gently opened the window wider, and they opened the window in a few clicks.

Although Bai Qiuchi set up an enchantment, he still watched with bated breath.

A person in a short night suit landed lightly on the ground, this person was tightly covered, but Bai Qiuchi could still see at a glance that she was a woman.

Bai Qiuchi hurriedly closed her eyes, she really came over first to check if he was asleep, and with Bai Qiuchi's superb acting skills, she easily deceived her.

Sure enough, after the inspection, she immediately searched everywhere in the room. Bai Qiuchi had already asked Jin Xu to take the jewelry box to Master Xu for reference, so she couldn't find it at all. Seeing her carefully rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to do useless work, Bai Qiuchi sighed secretly, simply closed her eyes and rested, and let her work hard to consume her physical strength first. Of course, the white hero is vigilant!

The guest room where Bai Qiuchi lived was quite gorgeously furnished, and the many decorations in it dazzled people during the day, let alone in the dark. She searched for almost two hours before she basically stopped moving.

Bai Qiuchi saw the opportunity and quietly came behind her, just blocking the window where he could escape, and picked up his sword.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're here to find a jewelry box, right?"

Suddenly hearing a voice from behind, the man in black was startled, and immediately drew his sword and turned around, only to find that Bai Qiuchi's sword had already reached it. Instead of answering, she stepped forward and let the sword stick in her neck. Seeing this, Bai Qiuchi had to quickly withdraw his sword a little farther away, and taking advantage of this gap, the man in black immediately raised his sword and stabbed Bai Qiuchi.

Well, I want to take advantage of his compassion!

Bai Qiuchi immediately took out his sword to counterattack, the sword flower shone in the dark, only the blades met and the sound of breathing, the martial arts of the person who came were not weak, but he was obviously not Bai Qiuchi's opponent, and he was already out of breath after a few rounds.

Seeing that the time had come, Bai Qiuchi no longer struggled, but jumped reflexively, and then flashed back quickly. Jian Feng pointed directly at the man in black and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man in black looked at Bai Qiuchi, but still didn't speak, and suddenly she fell down like this.

Not good! Could it be that he committed suicide by taking poison?

Bai Qiuchi hurriedly lay her down, lifted the hood and saw that it was not the answer in his heart.
