The missing maid named Natsuho.

In her room, all kinds of furniture were spotlessly cleaned, and Detective Ma looked at the picture frame, which was a young woman with a melon seed face and two dimples when she smiled, and touched her chin regretfully: "It's a pity......"

After being treated to a hearty lunch, he began his investigation as a matter of course.

The first stop is the maid's room.

"How? Did you find anything? ”

It's just that after clearing the scene seriously, Detective Ma looked at Xiao Ling expectantly.

This daughter of his, with the legendary ability of yin and yang eyes, can see many things that ordinary people can't find, and is used as a secret weapon by Detective Ma.

"No ......"

Ma Xiaoling said timidly, since she saw the white shadow, she seemed to be frightened.

In the past, she used the ability of yin and yang eyes at most to help her father observe some subtle traces at the crime scene that ordinary people could not detect, so as to provide clues.

And this time, it was the first time she really faced a murderous ghost!

"In this case, let's go shopping around the mansion!"

Detective Ma said thoughtfully, "Maybe something will be discovered...... But this Mr. Chen is also a person with a story, I found out that his previous jade business, but he did a lot of work, but he resolutely retired at the peak of his life and brought his family here to live in seclusion...... Strange to say, it seems that I didn't see his family this time! Go out and ask! ”

"You said Madame and Miss!"

The housekeeper Uncle Chen was wearing a suit similar to a tuxedo, with a bow tie on his chest, and his hair was meticulously combed, when he heard the inquiry after Detective Ma came out, he replied: "Because this kind of thing happened, I was very afraid, so Mrs. and the second lady went back to the city first!" ”

"I see!"

Detective Ma nodded, but shouted in his heart: 'Sure enough, there is a problem!' ’

When ordinary people encounter this kind of haunted house, even if they don't believe it, they may move out first to observe for a while, right? Especially for such rich people who cherish their lives.

But now, that Mr. Chen Xinbo has been sticking to this place, especially after someone has disappeared, which is very abnormal.

"Alas...... Before leaving, Mrs. also persuaded the master, but he insisted on staying, saying that he wanted to accompany the eldest lady! ”

Uncle Chen added another sentence.

"It turns out that there is still a young lady who does not want to go!"

Detective Ma nodded, as for the reason why the other party refused to leave, maybe it was because of boldness, or maybe it was just a simple temperament, right?

"Okay, we want to observe this Chen Mansion, please ask the housekeeper to lead the way."

"No problem, the master has been instructed, let me fully cooperate with the sir!"

With a smile on his face, Uncle Chen took the father and daughter to inspect the mansion.

The mansion is very large, in addition to the main hall, the master's study, and the bedroom, there is a garden, stables, and a kitchen for servants, and even the servants can be assigned a bedroom for one person.

"Sir, he'...... What a kind-hearted person, he was also the one who tried his best to give us the best treatment for these people, so he did not hesitate to expand the mansion and spent an extra sum of money. ”

Uncle Chen sighed, and after taking Detective Ma to visit the garden, he came to the master's bedroom in front.

The corridor is made of fine mahogany, there are artworks on the wooden shelves around it, and there are large oil paintings on the walls, and the structure of the entire mansion is full of an artistic atmosphere, it seems that Chen Xinbo is also a person who can enjoy it very well.

"It's ......"

Detective Ma looked at the jade on a wooden shelf, through the glass, he could see the crystal green inside, and his eyes couldn't take his eyes off: "This is the original stone, right?" Jadeite raw ore? ”

"Huh...... Mr. Ma has good eyesight, this piece is the master's proud treasure! ”

Uncle Chen smiled and pointed to a skylight opened on a stone: "This is a very precious glass species, which was mixed in a pile of miscellaneous stones, and was taken by the master at a glance. ”

"Eight...... Million? ”

Detective Ma opened his mouth wide, and then realized his gaffe and swallowed hard.

If it weren't for the very tight security here, he would have been tempted.

"Of course, it's just the price of gambling, and it's hard to determine the value because it's not completely cut, so maybe it's all stones......

Uncle Chen smiled: "However, there are people who particularly like this kind of stimulation, does Detective Ma have any research on jadeite?" ”

"Ahem...... Of course! ”

Detective Ma straightened his chest and his expression became serious: "It is said that crystals such as jade have special spiritual powers, and in the customs of the Jeep people in the West, there is a part of using crystals for divination. ”

"Hehe......"

Uncle Chen's smile stiffened.

He's talking about the value of jade and the like, how can he get involved in this kind of supernatural aspect?

"Daddy......"

At this time, Ma Xiaoling pulled his trouser legs, obviously having a harvest.

"What did you find?"

Detective Ma was shocked and asked quietly.

"There......"

Ma Xiaoling pointed to a door, which was quite delicate, and the bronze handle exuded a bright luster.

"Whose room is this?"

Detective Ma cleared his throat and asked Uncle Chen.

"Here......" Uncle Chen had a sad look on his face: "This is our eldest lady's room!" ”

"Can I go in and have a look?"

"Sorry...... Our eldest lady is afraid to see the living! ”

"That's it!"

Detective Ma didn't continue to insist, but secretly paid attention to it in his heart.

……

Night.

"Daddy...... It's not good for us to do that, it's a girl's room! ”

Ma Xiaoling watched Detective Ma prepare props with a tangled expression, and said in a low voice.

"Ann, la, a! Since you think there's something wrong with that room, there's definitely something bad in it! ”

Detective Ma said with a big grin: "I'll go and investigate well, it's also for the safety of the eldest lady." ”

"Really?"

Ma Xiaoling's expression suddenly became suspicious: "Could it be that you have taken a fancy to the Chen family's property, and are you going to find me a stepmother?" ”

"Poof! Ahem! ”

Detective Ma almost choked to death with his own saliva: "What nonsense? I...... Am I that kind of person? ”

Just as he spoke, he shrunk his neck weakly and straightened his clothes again.

"If not, it's just a simple reconnaissance mission, why did you even change your clothes on purpose......" Ma Xiaoling rolled her eyes, and the corners of her mouth could almost hang an oil bottle.

"Good boy, you take care of the house, Dad will go back and buy you lollipops!"

Detective Ma wiped a cold sweat and secretly went out through the window.

As a detective, he still has some anti-reconnaissance methods, and he secretly followed the route he had seen during the day and sneaked near the master bedroom.

At this time, the door of another room creaked open, Chen Xinbo came to the door of his eldest daughter with a kerosene lamp, and took out the key to open the door: "Wei'er, I'm coming to see you!" ”

"It's so late, the father still enters his daughter's boudoir at night, there is really a problem!"

Detective Ma secretly scolded shamelessly, obviously thinking of some of the eighteen forbidden contents: "It's worth investigating......"

He secretly approached, but did not notice that behind him, a pale palm was also slowly moving forward......

……

"Huh? Who are you? ”

At the same time, Ma Xiaoling also looked at the child in front of her in surprise.

He was about the same age as himself, but his body was covered with mud and fallen leaves, and his clothes were torn several times, like a wild child who had just escaped from a barren mountain.

The most important thing is that his hands are covered with frozen purple, as if he is severely frostbitten, but at this time, he grabs the pastries on the table nonchalantly and eats them in large gulps.

"Are you a village kid? Are you being bullied? ”

Ma Xiaoling looked at the little boy's hand: "Do you want me to give you medicine?" ”

"No, it'll be fine on its own!"

Fang Yuan patted his stomach: "Ha...... Finally barely half full. But I still want to eat meat, do you know where the kitchen is? Oh, by the way, who are you? The children of this family? ”

"No...... Not really! I came with my dad, he's a great detective, and he's here to investigate a paranormal incident! ”

Ma Xiaoling was completely confused, is it really good to say the bad things she wants to do so aggressively?

"Supernatural?"

Fang Yuan's face flashed, showing an expression of interest, and he said to himself, "I just found the biggest house, it can't be such a coincidence, right?" Just right...... I haven't seen any ghosts outside, and the things inside the old mansion are so weird. ”

After he escaped from the Tantai house, he found a random direction to trek, and this was the first time he had seen a human population.

As for why the matter of the Chen Mansion did not attract the attention of the Tantai family?

Ninety percent is because the Tantai family has fully shrunk its strength and is ready to deal with the curse of reincarnation for twenty years, where is there any intention to look outside?

Besides, they are still very secretive about the location of the old house, and this kind of rabbit's nest grass is still a little scruple to eat.

"Hey, are you really sure it's a ghost?"

Fang Yuan stared at Ma Xiaoling.

"Yes...... I've seen it! ”

Ma Xiaoling bit her lip.

"Your eyes ......"

Fang Yuan stared at the little girl's eyes and nodded, "I believe in you!" However, to tell you the unfortunate news, if you do encounter a ghost, your dad may die! ”

"You ......"

Ma Xiaoling was about to cry: "What should I do?" Woohoo......"

"It's easy, you hire me!"

Fang Yuan patted his chest: "I guarantee your dad is fine!" ”

A detective who specializes in detecting supernatural events is very useful! In Fang Yuan's opinion, those ordinary ghost and curse events were all good leveling points.

"Anyway, I have nowhere to go, so I just want this detective to help with the identity and settlement procedures, and then help him solve some supernatural events...... Hey? Why is there suddenly a rush of Grim Reaper schoolboys? ’

At this moment, Detective Ma also gently leaned in front of the door, and through the half-open gap, Chen Xinbo's voice could be heard:

"Daughter...... Let me see you again! ”

He muttered, stroking the long hair of a woman with her back to the door.

"That's ......"

Detective Ma's pupils shrank, and the cold hair of the whole person stood upside down!
