Chapter Eighty-Three: Ghost of the Night

No matter what the reason for Old Man Ann is.

What is clear to me now is that he doesn't believe me.

We hadn't walked a few steps, and suddenly An Ruoran walked towards us quickly.

"You, are you free now?" An Ruoran looked at me and asked.

Her hurried expression looked like something big had happened.

I asked her tentatively.

"Is there anything we need to do?"

"Not really, after what you reminded me just now, I do feel a little strange!" Speaking of this, An Ruoran's expression became much more serious.

"I hope you can help me investigate what might happen, and if there is a problem, I hope you can help us solve it!"

At the end of the day, it's up to me to help.

But there are so many secrets hidden in this incident that I don't know what's going on at the moment.

I can't even talk about asking me to help.

There's simply no right place to cut into.

I decisively told An Ruoran what was on my mind.

"We can help you, but we have to let us know what's going on, right?"

Normally, if I ask, the person will tell me everything they know.

But An Ruoran is not.

Her brow furrowed.

It's like there's something you want to say, but you can't say it.

After hesitating for a long time, An Ruoran raised her head and looked at me.

"I can't tell you just yet, I'm sorry."

Come on, it's a riddler.

She doesn't say it, and I can't force her to do anything.

However, I still need her to help with the affairs of Qinglong Mountain, so I really have to help with this matter in front of me.

With a long sigh of relief, I turned my face to tell the fat man next to me.

"We should have work to do tonight!"

After such a long run-in, the fat people have also done it, as long as I say a word, they can understand what I think.

Everyone split up and quickly stuffed everything they needed to prepare into their bags.

Look at the backpack full of Dengden.

The fat man walked up to me.

"Brother Li, I guess it's not going to be easy tonight, right?"

Unlike when there is a lot of stationery, everything we prepare is something that we may use.

In this case, I naturally won't say any nonsense to appease him.

"As long as that person is caught tonight, they will be able to settle down and deal with other things, and it will have nothing to do with us!"

I didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the An family.

Dealing with corpses, I am an expert.

But against people's hearts, I can't fight them at all.

Let's not mention that he has a big family and a big business, just those old rivers and lakes, all of them are rolled out of the tip of the knife.

I wasn't conceited enough to feel like I could count them.

The expressions of Zhang San and Li Si were a little dignified.

After a moment's hesitation, the two of them looked at me and asked.

"Will we split up tonight, or will we do it together?"

They weren't with us last night, so the specifics aren't clear.

I'll let the fat man tell them what happened last night.

Then began my arrangement.

"Zhang San, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the back mountain and making sure that no one except us can enter the back mountain before the signal gun goes off."

"Li Si, you just wait in this courtyard, as long as we fire the flare gun, you will use all the methods you can think of to wake everyone up."

"No problem!" The two reached in unison.

As for the fat man, he'll need to come with me to see what was going on with the head on the flat ground last night.

But there's one more thing in my plan that I need to worry about.

"I don't know if the mage buried the corpse completely last night, it's very likely to be empty today."

The fat man comforted me.

"One night, he didn't have enough time to dig a pit, he will definitely go up the mountain tonight, don't worry!"

There wasn't much that a person could do in one night, and just dragging the corpse up the hill would consume a lot of physical strength.

So the burial will have to wait until the next day.

During the day, it may arouse suspicion from others, and there is also the need for the mage to appear in this funeral.

Just now we saw the Dharma Master on the stage chanting the scriptures.

So tonight, he will inevitably go up the mountain to bury the body.

Determine everything that is possible or impossible.

We looked at the watch and were left in a long wait.

I thought I would keep waiting.

Looking outside, the sky is getting darker and darker.

The sun was about to set, and my eyes were still on the doorway.

Suddenly, I felt something flash in front of me.

I looked intently, but I didn't see anything.

The room is a pure wooden structure, and although it is luxurious, it has a dilapidated desolation against the backdrop of the sunset.

I even had a feeling that a head would pop out of that doorway.

Look straight at me.

I stared at my brow, waiting for the pale head to appear.

Suddenly, a hand that was so pale that it was completely bloodless, and only a skin on it rested on it pressed against my shoulder.

I jerked my face away.

That face was ten times more terrifying than all the corpses I'd seen before.

It's weird and different from the rotting and twisted corpses.

It's that I can know that he is alive, but I don't see any life in him.

And the hands at the glance, and there was only one skin on the face.

The pupils of the eyes were deeply sunken, and the bridge of the nose collapsed as if it had been broken.

And his mouth, I can't see the lips at all.

Only two rows of crumbling, slightly sharpened teeth were exposed.

"Master, please ask Mr. Li to come over."

I snapped back to my senses.

Hurriedly got up, and then looked vigilantly at the person who suddenly appeared.

"Where are you from?"

"I'm the housekeeper of Anfu, sir, please come over."

Master?

It should be An Ruoran's father.

I glanced out the door, it was getting dark, what were you looking for me to do at this time?

After all, it's a guest, and the host family invites it, so you have to go and see it.

"Okay, please lead the way!" I whispered.

The man who claimed to be the butler turned and walked straight towards the door.

"Fatty, you guys go according to the original plan, I'll come to you later!"

The fat man stood up sharply.

"Where are you going?"

"The housekeeper of Anfu asked me to meet their master, I ......" I stopped at this point.

Then he looked at the fat man in surprise.

"Did anyone just come in?"

The fat man looked at me suspiciously.

"Nobody, you suddenly stood up."

No one? The man who just called himself a butler?

Goosebumps popped up all over my body.

At this point, it was clear that the situation was beyond my realization.

What's going on here?

I tried to control my breathing and settle my emotions.

"You really don't see anyone?"
