The old ghost sized up Ming Shu. âWho doesnât know your Qian family.â
My Qian family?
âHow do you know?â
The old ghost pondered for a while. âHow do I describe it? To us, the Qian family is like a huge lightbulb. We can see you from afar. However, you... are just a beginner. You are still very weak.â
The old ghost continued, âHow can you not know about the wrath of heaven? No wonder I have not seen the Qian family in such a long time. Are you all extinct?â
Ming Shu: â...â
The old ghost saw Ming Shu rolling up her sleeves so he floated back a little. He was scared and said, âFine, I will tell you. The people from the Qian family cannot reject a request from a ghost. If you reject us, your power will backfire. Donât ask me why. I am not from the Qian family. I donât know much about it. I just heard from other people.â
âSo if you all ask us to kill people, request to become kings and want to fly to the moon, we have to fulfil your wishes too?â
âOf course not. There are rules... you should know about the rules. I only know that the Qian family canât reject us.â The old ghostâs gaze flickered. He was not speaking the truth.
âI donât know the rules.â
The old ghost rolled his eyes. âAre you from the Qian family?â
Why did he need to tell her all this?
âI highly suspect that I am not.â Maybe the Host was picked up on the streets.
The old ghost: â...â
You replied so honestly, I donât know how to continue the conversation.
The old ghost said, âThe Qian family has not been active for the past 100 years and for the last ten years, I havenât seen anyone from the Qian family at all. Old ghosts like me communicate with each other often. Without the people from the Qian family, we canât fulfil our wishes and leave this world. This is a painful thing to some ghosts.â
Ming Shu asked, âSince this is painful, why do you all still have obsessions when you die?â
You all can just die happily.
The corners of the old ghostâs mouth twitched. âIt is our first time dying. How would we know that this would happen? If we knew, why would we need the Qian family?â
Ming Shu thought for a while before asking, âDo you know about spirit enlightenment, herding ghost, etc?â
The old ghost sneered. He said with the superiority of an elder, âOf course. Spirit enlightenment, herding ghosts, hunting ghosts, and releasing ghosts. This is the art of managing ghosts from your Qian family.â
âReleasing ghost?â
âMeans helping a ghost fulfil his or her wish.â The old ghost looked at her with contempt. âLike helping a ghost to cross over.â
âIsnât it cultivating ghosts?â
âCultivating?â The old ghost had a weird expression. âThat is not the Qian familyâs method, right? Why are you asking this? Are you trying something bad?â
Ming Shu: â...â
The old ghost was puzzled. âDo you really not know anything?â
âWhy else would I chat with you?â I am very busy! I need to pamper my snacks!
The old ghost: â...â
The old ghost needed her help to dig for his body so he continued: âI donât know a lot. If you really want to know more about the Qian family, you can find a lady called Liu Quan. I heard all this from her.â
âWhere can I find her?â
âI have not seen her in a long time too. You can try the Ghost Face Mountain. If she doesnât have anything to do, she will be there.â
Liu Quan?
Another unfamiliar name.
Where the hell is this Ghost Face Mountain.
Ming Shu took out her cellphone and searched for it.
Ghost Face Mountain...
It was within a tourist attraction spot. It was a mountain that had yet to be developed. There was no record as to why it was called the Ghost Face Mountain.
There was a famous Four Scenery Mountain in front of it.
My head hurts.
The art of managing ghosts is so vast?
Ming Shu took out a bunch of snacks. âSo do you know how the female owner of this house died?â
This was the main purpose.
...
The old ghost knew how Lady Peng died.
That day, Lady Peng was undergoing treatment in the hospital. Mister Peng brought his mistress back for the night. As for why... he probably felt that it was exciting.
However, Lady Peng came back in the middle of the night and bumped into the two of them. As they were arguing, the mistress pushed Lady Peng down the stairs.
Mister Peng and the mistress hid the crime scene and left after that.
Mister Peng came back secretly so no one saw him.
Lady Peng had depression and the doctor said that she might have hallucinations and talk to herself. Hence, no one suspected anything when she fell down the stairs.
This was the truth.
Ming Shu left the villa with Hang Zichen. The woman was still in the garden.
She looked carefree. She didnât look like a person who killed someone accidentally.
Ming Shu sent Hang Zichen back.
She met Meng Han and Hang Hang at the entrance.
Hang Hang broke away from Meng Han and hugged Hang Zichen. âDid he bother you?â
âHe was okay.â Meng Han glanced at Meng Han. âIf thereâs nothing, I will take my leave now.â
âSister, letâs go out and play next week!â Hang Zichen suddenly shouted. âMother, let me play with sister. Please?â
âThis...â
âMother!â
Hang Zichen hugged Hang Hang and whined.
Hang Hang felt helpless. âYou must ask Sister. If she agrees, I will invite her, okay?â
Hang Zichen jumped down and ran to Ming Shu. He looked up. âSister, we are going to the Four Scenery Mountain to play next week. Can you come with us?â
His father and mother always left him behind. He didnât know who he could play with.
âI donât have time...â
Wait, what?
Ming Shu took out her cellphone and looked at her search history. It was the Four Scenery Mountain...
The Four Scenery Mountain was in front of the Ghost Face Mountain.
Speaking of which...
The male and female protagonist should be attending the classmate gathering soon.
Ming Shu put away her cellphone and smiled. She changed her words. âSure, when is it?â
âYay!â Hang Zichen jumped around excitedly.
Hang Hang didnât expect Ming Shu to agree. She was stunned. She didnât know how to continue her sentence.
She asked Hang Zichen to ask her because she wanted to stop Hang Zichen from whining.
âNext Saturday at the holiday villa of the Four Scenery Mountain.â Meng Han spoke. âYou can come with Gu Zhi.â
Gu Zhi?
He was going too?
No, this is not right...
There was no such character in the original storyline.
âSister, you must come!â He would be able to talk about his little buddies that other people couldnât see with her.
âYes.â
...
Ming Shu called the client immediately after she left.
The other party was shocked.
She got the result in such a short period of time?
The genius detective expressed that this was how fast she was.
The girl only asked Ming Shu to investigate whether her father killed her mother. She didnât ask for evidence.
Hence, when Ming Shu gave the answer to the girl, the girl was shocked.
Why is this different from what the television shows depicted?
Shouldnât there be a lot of information to prove her conclusion?
âI am only responsible for giving you the answer. I am not responsible for showing you the process.â
âBut... how can I believe you?â There was nothing to prove her result.
Ming Shu took out her cellphone and logged in to the forum to let the little girl see the information that she changed.
âI am only responsible for the results. Whether you believe me or not, that is your own business.â
âYou...â No one does business like this.
Although Ming Shuâs way of doing business was weird, the girl still believed her in the end.
Maybe Ming Shuâs smile was too enchanting.
However, she didnât feel relief. Although her father didnât kill her mother, he covered up for the murderer.
The girl looked at Ming Shu. âCan you find evidence for me? I can offer you more money!â
âYou should call the police.â Finding evidence is too troublesome.
âPolice... they will not believe me.â
âFind this person.â Ming Shu passed a business card to the girl. âAll the best.â
The girl took the card in a daze.
After a while, she looked at the name.
Chen Wen?
