Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As soon as Shen Chun sat down, the woman poured water for them.

“Thank you,” Shen Chun said.

After the woman placed the cut fruits on the table, she glanced at them and said stiffly, “You’re here to ask about my husband jumping off a building again, right?”

Shen Chun stared at the woman intently. Although the woman was as thin as a matchstick and her eyes were dull, she didn’t have the aura of an evil spirit.

What puzzled her was that the woman had clearly just asked who they were. At the very least, she should know Ling Han, but she looked like she was examining three strangers. Now, she finally remembered that Ling Han had come once.

Even an Oscar award winner wouldn’t be so good at acting.

However, there was no denying that the sinister energy in this house was very strong.

When Ling Han heard the woman speak, he immediately echoed, “Ah, that’s right. Although I came here once yesterday, I only asked about one aspect. Now, we want to ask about another problem.”

“Ask away,” the woman said.

Ling Han looked at Shen Chun. “Miss Shen.”

After Shen Chun received Ling Han’s signal, she asked, “Auntie, who bought the two mascots there?”

As soon as she entered, she noticed the golden toad and the Pixiu on the cabinet in the middle of the house.

The golden toad could attract wealth, the Pixiu could urge wealth, and it could even guard the house and ward off evil spirits.

It was normal for people to love money, but placing these things around the house might backfire if they didn’t know the rules.

The woman glanced at the two mascots and peeled an orange as she answered. “My dead husband bought them.”

Shen Chun continued to ask, “Then were the two of you born in the year of the rat and the tiger?”

The woman stopped peeling the orange and looked up at Shen Chun in shock. “Yes, how did you know?”

Shen Chun explained, “I saw that you weren’t in a good state, so I noticed the mascots. If I’m not wrong, you were born in the year of the rat. Although the Pixiu is an auspicious beast, it’s very ferocious. If the owner of the house can’t suppress it, it can easily backfire. In addition, the sinister energy here is heavy. Have you not been sleeping enough recently and once you fall asleep, you have nightmares. You’ve also been very unlucky and nothing goes your way?”

The surprise in the woman’s eyes intensified, but she still didn’t move.

Shen Chun imagined that her reaction would be to ask her to help eliminate bad luck and choose a new place with good fengshui to move to.

However, to their surprise, the woman suddenly thought of something and stood up abruptly. Her eyes widened and her face was filled with fear as she chased them away like a lunatic.

Her sharp voice was like a knife scraping against glass. “Leave. Get out of my house quickly!”

When the three of them saw this scene, they were baffled. After all, Shen Chun wanted to help her and didn’t want to harm her. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Why did she have such a big reaction?

However, they had no choice but to leave for the time being.

After going downstairs, Shen Chun finally expressed her doubts. “Is this the reaction a normal person should have?”

The answer was obvious.

Fu Shi had been observing for a long time and said, “She doesn’t look like a normal person.”

Shen Chun and Ling Han both cast astonished gazes at him.

Realizing that he sounded like he was scolding her, Fu Shi looked at the two of them awkwardly and changed his words. “I mean, she’s not in a good state of mind.”

Actually, Shen Chun didn’t have any questions to ask. After she took a look, she could roughly guess the situation. She only wanted to know the reason. “What did Officer Ling ask about yesterday?”

Ling Han said to Shen Chun, “Yesterday, she was quite normal. She said that her husband’s work hasn’t been going well recently, and he has also become quite unlucky. The night before yesterday, they even quarreled. Her husband didn’t go out yesterday morning, and jumped off a building at night.”

When Shen Chun stopped in front of the pool of blood, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She looked up sharply and saw the woman standing by the window while looking down at them..
