Chapter 397: A Big Problem

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Cold light flashed and two long swords were pointed at Lu Sheng, who was squatting behind the bamboo forest.

At the same time, the guards with torches surrounded them.

​ 

Lu Sheng, who was hesitating if she should escape, sighed.

It seemed like it was too late for her to escape now.

“Who are you?”

Chu Yun narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.

He kept feeling that this man in black looked familiar.

Constable Wang had the same feeling. That was why he did not attack immediately.

Lu Sheng stood up and revealed herself. She looked at Chu Yun and Constable Wang and smiled. “Guard Chu, Constable Wang, long time no see!”

“Miss Lu!”

The duo was shocked.

When the few people standing nearby heard that, everyone except Chu Sihan could not help but feel a little disappointed.

They thought that they had caught the murderer. In the end, the other party was one of them.

“Why are you here?”

Chu Yun kept his sword back into its sheath and asked curiously.

Lu Sheng shrugged and explained helplessly, “I heard that a murder case happened here, so I wanted to come in and take a look. I didn’t expect Young Master Yun to have such good hearing. I just came in and he could tell.”

Yun Ting smiled. “I was close to you.”

“Why did you come here instead of resting in the middle of the night?”

Chu Sihan took off his cloak and walked over. As he put it on her, he asked softly.

Lu Sheng said, “I just wanted to come and see if there’s a problem. It seems like there’s a big problem.”

It was alright if it was a ghost, but it was difficult to find a human.

Fu Xianyun sighed softly. “I didn’t notice it before, but I heard from the coroner today that their tongues were cut off too.”

“Their tongues were cut off too?”

Lu Sheng frowned. “That’s difficult.”

How could a ghost with its tongue cut speak?

Lu Sheng looked at Chu Sihan and asked softly, “Is there a way?”

Chu Sihan shook his head slightly. “I’ve asked, but they can’t read.”

The few of them did not know what the duo was talking about. They were probably talking about the mother-daughter pair.

“Miss Lu, even you can’t do anything?” Shi Yi went forward and asked.

Lu Sheng shook her head. “Their tongues were cut and they can’t speak. They don’t even know how to read.”

What this person lacked when he was alive, he would also lack when he became a ghost after he died.

Unless they returned personally to retrieve what was missing after the seventh day of their deaths.

Fu Xianyun’s expression was solemn as he said, “This murderer’s methods are so vicious. If it’s a vendetta, then forget it. But if it’s a demon who likes to kill, then I’m afraid someone else will be killed. If we don’t find him, the citizens will only feel uneasy.”

Constable Wang bowed and swore. “Lord, don’t worry. We will find the murderer!”

Fu Xianyun nodded slightly, but he still looked worried.

Chu Sihan said coldly, “Bring me to that couple.”

Perhaps, he could find some unexpected clues from them.

“Okay.”

Fu Xianyun nodded. He let Constable Wang guard here while he brought Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng back to the officials.

When Lu Sheng walked out of the main door, she happened to see two ghosts curled up at the entrance. Their faces looked a bit hideous due to their fear.

Lu Sheng turned her head and asked Chu Sihan in a low voice, “Lord, should we bring them along?”

Chu Sihan frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with her addressing him in this manner. However, he did not correct her this time and nodded slightly.

When Lu Sheng heard that, she hurriedly took out the talisman and stored the souls of the mother-daughter pair into it.

The group walked out of the Tan family’s house in a grandiose manner. The next door was suddenly opened and a small head poked out.
