Chapter 257: There's a Problem with This Woman
According to the information provided by the "shopping guide", Yuanquanquan roughly guessed the origin of Zhao Xiuhe's incident, but the truth of the matter remains to be further verified.
So, under the pretext of going to get a fan, the Yuan Circle and the Meditation Circle came to the door again and came to the Zhao Mansion.
However, the Zhao Xiuhe they saw today was the same as the one they saw the day before.
The last time I saw "Zhao Xiuhe", he was dressed in revealing clothes, wearing heavy makeup, and always had that kind of empty and unbridled smile, although it was glamorous, it made people feel very uncomfortable when they saw it. And the Zhao Xiuhe I saw today, there was a circle of blue and black under his eyes, and his clothes were tightly wrapped, even if his face was pale and he looked tired, he would not have that sense of disobedience.
Yuan Quanquan guessed right away that the one in front of him at this moment was the real Zhao Xiuhe.
Zhao Xiuhe seemed to have not slept all night, his eyes were dark, there were red bloodshots under his eyes, and his eyes looking at Yuan Quanquan and Meditation were also dull and lackluster.
She was still followed by the middle-aged woman, Aunt Mei, and this Aunt Mei's attitude was different from what she had seen in the previous yen circle. She has a sincere attitude towards this Zhao Xiuhe, and it can be seen from her actions in supporting Zhao Xiuhe and looking at her demeanor that she really cares about her Miss Xiuhe.
Yuan Quanquan and Shen Xiu glanced at each other, and then pretended not to know anything, and talked to Zhao Xiuhe.
"I don't know what happened to Boss Zhao? It doesn't look good. ”
Zhao Xiuhe paused, and then pulled out a smile, "Oh, it's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night." "Tell Aunt Mei to bring the embroidered fan and hand it to the Yuan Quanquan.
"I have already embroidered the crane silk fan that Miss Yuan asked me to embroider, please see if there is any problem, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, I can change it."
Yuan Huanquan took the fan, lowered his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, and quietly gave a look to the meditation cultivator.
Shen Xiu raised an eyebrow at her and nodded slightly.
I see.
Yuan Circle was clear, so he put the fan aside, looked up at Zhao Xiuhe and smiled: "Thank you Boss Zhao." After paying for the customized silk fan, Yuan Quanquan glanced around intentionally or unintentionally, but did not find the possessed ghost, retracted his gaze, looked at Zhao Xiuhe, and asked a question as if he was chatting.
"Boss Zhao, I heard that you also have a twin sister?"
Seemingly unintentionally but intentionally mentioning the other party's twin sister, Yuan Quanquan quietly observed Zhao Xiuhe's reaction.
As she guessed, Zhao Xiuhe's expression stiffened invisibly when she heard the words "twin sisters", although she quickly returned to her original expression, but the Yuan Circle, who deliberately observed her expression, still very keenly captured her panic.
It seems that this Boss Zhao is very likely to know that she is possessed, and she also knows very well that she is possessed by her twin sister, who has been dead for half a year.
So the question is, since she knew, why didn't she take steps to refuse her sister's possession?
From what she knew about ghosts, one of the things she knew was that if she wanted to ward off evil spirits, carrying a piece of peach wood with her was the easiest and most effective way. Or go to a respected master and ask for a talisman to ward off evil spirits.
It's not necessarily 100% useful, but at least I have a comfort in my heart.
But Yuan Quanquan carefully observed that this Boss Zhao, except for a decorative sachet on his body, did not have anything like a talisman to ward off evil spirits.
So, she didn't bring it because she couldn't find it, or was it ...... Another reason?
The meal just now seemed to be just an illusion of the Yuan Circle. Zhao Xiuhe heard the question of the Yuan Circle, and there seemed to be a faint pity and grief in his expression, "Yes, I have a twin sister, who is only half an hour older than me." It's just that half a year ago, she died of illness. With a sad expression, Zhao Xiuhe took out the handkerchief on his sleeve and wiped it twice under his eyes.
I don't know why, when Zhao Xiuhe mentioned her sister, her expression did show sadness, but Yuan Quanquan felt that she seemed to be ...... It's not really sad.
Zhao Xiuhe's eyelids were slightly constricted, and her gaze was lowered, making it difficult to see the real emotions in her eyes.
originally thought that this Zhao Xiuhe was possessed by a ghost and was a victim. But at this moment, Yuan Quanquan's intuition told her that behind this matter, it didn't seem to be as simple as it seemed.
This matter is getting more and more interesting, Yuan Quanquan thought for a moment, and then asked: "Listen to Xiuhetang's guidance...... The sister said that Boss Zhao didn't seem to be in good spirits in the past half a month, was it because he was affected by the rumors in the city? ”
Zhao Xiuhe was stunned again, and the handkerchief he had just taken down covered his face again, and sighed: "Isn't it?" My family's Xiuhe Hall has been open for so many years, and there has never been any problems. But in the past half a month, many people in the city have been sick inexplicably, but they have all put the blame on my family's fan. ”
With a sneer, Zhao Xiuhe continued: "It's really funny, it's just a fan, how can it make people sick?" As for what they preached, my family's fans were tainted with evil spirits, and those people were sick because of these evil spirits, which is even more nonsense! Miss Yuan, don't believe what they say. I know the best about my fan, but it's just an ordinary fan. ”
If it weren't for the fact that the Yuan Circle could see ghosts and believe that there were ghosts and gods in this world, and I saw with my own eyes that the evil spirit was pulled out from those sick people and the fan of Xiuhe Hall, the Yuan Circle would probably be the same as Zhao Xiuhe, thinking that this evil spirit was pure fart!
But the truth is, it's not a fart, it's the truth.
It's just that the reason behind this truth is puzzling.
It stands to reason that the ghost of the dead sister Zhao Xiuhe is possessed by her sister Zhao Xiuhe, if Zhao Xiuhe knows about this, then her sister uses those fans to make those healthy people sick, and Zhao Xiuhe should also know about this. And she didn't stop it, and let those problematic fans be put on sale in Xiuhetang, what was this for?
What's in it for her?
The Sherlock Holmes felt that his brain capacity was a little insufficient, and he couldn't figure out the reason for this for a long time.
After coming out of the Zhao Mansion, Yuan Quanquan immediately threw out this question, planning to test her assistant, John Hugh Watson.
"Xiu, what do you think?"
When Ming Xiu heard this, he glanced at her, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Is Xiaohuan'er judging the case?" ”
Yuan Quanquan raised his chin, "Exactly!" Also, don't call me the Circle, call me the Sherlock Holmes Circle! ”
expressed a bit of curiosity about this strange long name.,The ghost king was originally going out to play with his own princess.,Naturally, you have to cooperate.。
"So, may I ask this ...... Sherlock Holmes, what do you think? ”
"Hey, I asked you, not you!" That being said, Yuan Quanquan still analyzed his thoughts one by one to Shen Xiu, who looked at her with a gentle smile on his face, and when she finished speaking, he rewarded her with a kiss.
"Little ...... Sherlock Holmes, this king didn't notice it before, your little head melon seeds, it's still quite flexible. This awkward name made the Ghost King frown slightly, but there was a doting smile on his lips, and he reached out and touched the head of his princess, not stingy with his praise.
The tail of the Yuan Circle suddenly cocked, and he said immodestly: "That's, how to say it, it has also been nurtured by N suspense!" ”
He didn't understand this, but he guessed that it was probably related to her original world, so he didn't ask much, smiled, and said his own judgment.
"There's something wrong with that woman."
Yuan Quanquan waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the following, tilted his head and blinked: "It's gone?" ”
Meditation Xiu's face was indifferent: "It's gone." ”
Metaverse: "......"
Rolling his eyes speechlessly, he thought that the dignified Ghost King would have any high opinions, but he didn't expect that there was no constructiveness at all.
Receiving the contemptuous eyes of his own princess, the Ghost King was not annoyed, and chuckled: "What is the truth of the matter, you can see with your own eyes." ”
Yuan Quanquan's eyes lit up: "You mean ......"
Meditation raised an eyebrow.
Haha, this kind of night visit to so-and-so's house is the most exciting!
With the ghost world boss here, although things are far from being so troublesome, you can know the ins and outs of the matter by directly arresting the possessed ghost and interrogating him, but in this way, there is a lot less fun in the middle.
Yuanquanquan still enjoys this process of exploring the truth.
Sure enough, should she have been born to eat the bowl of rice of detectives?
Yuan Quanquan thought silently, before she looked for Murong Zhen and said that she wanted to catch fast, but then she didn't succeed. When she goes back this time, shouldn't she look for him again?
Can't waste her talents, no!
has shown great enthusiasm for the profession of catching fast, and Yuanquanquan is already imagining a successful life in the future for her to become the first female catcher in Beijing.
I don't know the future career plan of my princess, and Ming Xiu looked at her excited appearance of eagerness, and her heart was so soft that it was a mess.
How could he ...... Planted on such a little girl?
Back at the inn, Meditation put the fan he had brought back on the table, pulled out a wisp of black gas from it, pinched and exploded it as before, and then gave a pertinent evaluation: "It's really a pair of skillful hands." ”
The evil spirit is gone, and the fan is just an ordinary fan, so now the Yuan Circle can safely bring things back to the concubine.
After that, according to the original plan, after dark, they came to the Zhao Mansion again.
Only this time, they weren't the door.
The two times I came before, both during the day, and the meditation cultivator said that there was evil energy in this house, but it was very weak. Then, before he entered the house, he felt a strong evil aura.
Following this evil spirit, they came to the inner courtyard of Zhao's mansion and found Zhao Xiuhe's bedroom.
I don't know if it's because of the lack of Zhongyuan in this mansion or because of other reasons, they came twice before, except for Zhao Xiuhe himself, there was only that Aunt Mei. And now, from the time they came in to the present, there is no one in the house, and even Aunt Mei doesn't know where she is.
The huge Zhao Mansion, in this dark night, was like a ghost house, revealing an eerie and terrifying feeling.
Yuan Quanquan was not afraid, and followed the meditation cultivation to slowly approach Zhao Xiuhe's room.
As soon as he walked to the door, a familiar woman's voice suddenly came from inside.
"I beg you, let me go!"
