Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Is it the Doing of a Female Ghost?
Although I couldn’t see her face clearly at the ti, I’m certain she was a woman. By the ti I burst into the bridal chamber, my wife was already…”
As he thought of the tragic death of his wife, Zhang Aniu couldn’t help but cry.
“A woman? Wearing white clothes?”
Chu Yuxiao murmured softly, it was unclear whether he was confirming with Zhang Aniu or asking himself.
“Yes, a woman, dressed in plain white clothes. At that ti, I thought I had seen a ghost.”
“Alright, you may go now,” Chu Yuxiao waved his hand.
...
After Zhang Aniu left, the Magistrate cautiously asked,
“Marquis, do you think this could be the deed of a female ghost?”
Chu Yuxiao’s eyebrows raised slightly, but before he could speak, Su Yan said,
“Magistrate, the ignorant commoners might think it’s the work of a female ghost, but do you think so too?
In this world, there simply are no ghosts or demons.
Even if there were, these serial killings would definitely not be the work of a female ghost.”
“But why can’t we catch her despite our thorough investigation?” the Magistrate retorted sowhat angrily.
He didn’t know Su Yan’s identity and assud he was just a friend of the Marquis.
If not for the sake of the Marquis, he wouldn’t need to show Su Yan any respect.
Now, this young whipper-snapper dared to speak to him so rudely.
Of course, he felt extrely angry.
“If we can’t find the murderer, it only proves that the murderer is too cunning, too skilled.
Do you, Magistrate, consider every murderer we fail to catch to be a ghost?”
“You…”
“Enough, both of you, stop talking!”
Chu Yuxiao suddenly stood up; he seed to be sowhat displeased, his narrow phoenix eyes unusually deep.
The Magistrate shrank his head, not daring to make another sound.
He wouldn’t dare to anger the Marquis, or even the Emperor couldn’t save him.
Su Yan gave a shallow smile, opened his folding fan with his left hand, and gently fanned himself.
…
After leaving the governnt office, the two of them didn’t head straight back to the estate but chose to ride their horses around for a casual patrol.
The streets were filled with guards on patrol, even at night.
