"Did anyone hear anything last night?" Limber straightened up.

"I asked the servants next door, and they all said that last night was very quiet, and there was no sound." A family Ding stepped forward.

"Asked all the questions?"

"Yes, I've asked them all."

"I'll take the body down and dispose of it, I'll go ask the master first."

Limber turned away.

In the study, Old Man Gu and Ji Ci'an were discussing something.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." The old man took a sip of tea, and Ji Ci'an also stopped talking.

After Lin Bo came in and saluted, he asked people to close the door: "Master, miss, Mr. Li, who rested in the West Wing Courtyard last night, died, and the family members who served in the house also died. ”

"What?" The old man put down the teacup and stood up in surprise.

Ji Ci'an hugged the old man: "Lin Bo, what's going on?" ”

Lin Bo told everything about everything, and waited for Old Man Gu and Ji Ci'an to speak.

The old man also recovered from his surprise: "No one knows about this yet. ”

"No one knows except the people in the house."

"All the guests who rested last night are gone?" The matter of the dead is not big or small, and it is impossible that it will not have an impact on the Gu Mansion.

"Yes, I left this morning."

"Go find it out and deal with it." The old man stood with his hands behind his back.

After this incident, the old man lost his spirit.

After Ji Ci'an waited for a rest, he took Xiaocui back to the courtyard.

"System, guess what's going to happen next?" Ji Ci'an's fair-skinned and slender fingers peeled off a lychee and put it in his mouth.

"Then you'll see the mission objectives and start completing the mission." A soft and cute voice sounded in his head, but this voice always pretended to be calm, which always made Ji Ci'an want to laugh.

"yes, I'm looking forward to it."

……

Half a month has passed since the incident of the dead man.

"What do you mean it's not man-made?" The old man looked at Limber with sharp eyes.

"We couldn't find any traces of anyone else, and Mr. Lee's hands and feet were ...... It's more like it broke off on its own. Limber said this head-on.

"So you're trying to tell me that he also slit his own throat?"

Lin Bo didn't dare to respond, because it was indeed as the old man said.

"Hmph, that's nonsense!"

"Master, some people outside the mansion say that there is a scream in our mansion late at night......" Lin Bo said again.

Old Man Gu almost smashed the chair, and his eyes were about to split: "Lin Xuyang, you can't do anything!" You just want to fool me with the ghosts?! ”

"Master, if you really don't believe this, how could you believe the Taoist priest's nonsense in the first place, and connived at the young master to snatch the eldest lady's only child?"

Lin Bo's words woke up Old Man Gu.

Also, if he hadn't believed in ghosts and gods, how could he have killed his only daughter in anger?

After that, just a year later, he lost two children.

It's night.

Ji Ci'an was woken up by thirst in the middle of the night and called twice, but did not get a response from Xiaocui.

She decided to get up on her own.

Outside the window was a crescent moon hanging in the starry sky, and Ji Ci'an felt the edge of the table in the dark, groping for the position of the teapot like a blind man.

She doesn't usually drink tea, so the teapot is filled with water.

But the table is finished, and I don't know where the teapot is.

As soon as she tried to withdraw her hand, she found the teapot under her hand, touched it to the side, picked up the cup, and found that it was already full of water.

Ji Ci'an lifted the water cup and poured it into his mouth, and drank two cups in a row, and the feeling of thirst faded.

Putting down the cup, Ji Ci'an prepared to walk to the bed.

But I found that my feet couldn't move, and at this time, I felt a cool breath in my ears.

Her body then stiffened, and she muttered to herself—

Oh, he's bumping into a ghost.

In the dark, Ji Ci'an raised his eyes.

A tall figure stood faintly in the darkness, facing her, but she still couldn't see the man's face clearly.

I only saw that it was a slender and straight man.

The man was dressed in a robe with a jade pendant tied around his waist, and as he walked, it made a slight but crisp sound.

The man walked slowly, and the closer he was, the clearer Ji Ci'an could smell the cold fragrance coming from the other party.

She knew this smell that Marshal Gu loved to use before he died.

It's just like this.,Ji Ci'an seems to be confused.。。

opened his mouth and called out a name: "Gu Xiyu." ”
