Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 361

[Chapter 361 The Hanged Ghost (thirteen)]

Shuzhen did not recover until three months later. She couldn’t see the blow of losing her child on her face. She always had a smile on her face every day, which made Yu Zicheng feel relieved. Because of the business needs of the family, Yu Zicheng had to leave the Yu family and travel for a while. When he came back, he learned that a major event had happened in the Yu family during the time he was gone. Xiaohong died inexplicably, and Mrs. Yu was lying on the bed because she was too frightened.

Looking at Mrs. Yu on the bed, she could no longer speak, which made Yu Zicheng’s heart very sad. Shuzhen advised: “Zicheng, don’t be too sad, grandma will get better.”

“Yes, young master, young lady. That’s right.” The butler also persuaded him.

Yu Zicheng patted his head regretfully, frowned and said, “If I hadn’t left home, maybe this wouldn’t have happened.”

“Zicheng, don’t blame yourself, that’s what we don’t want to see. Yes, who knows that Xiaohong is…” Shuzhen had tears in her eyes, Xiaohong was a maid she brought from her parents’ house, she was a good person, but she died in Mrs. Yu’s room seven days ago. The old lady was also frightened like this because she saw Xiaohong’s body.

The housekeeper hesitated beside him, Yu Zicheng looked strange, and quickly asked, “Do you know something?”

“Master, I…”

“Just tell me what you know.”

“Well, young master.” The housekeeper nodded and recalled carefully. The night Xiaohong died, the housekeeper was going to report the family’s money expenses to the old lady. Hearing a scream, when he rushed in, what he saw was Xiaohong’s body, and the old lady fell to the ground at that moment. At that time, the housekeeper was terrified and hurriedly called someone to help. After everyone came, they found that Xiaohong was not injured, and the old lady was still breathing. Afraid that if the maid was killed by the old lady, she would cause trouble, so she buried Xiaohong’s body under a tree in the yard. On the second night of burying Xiaohong, the housekeeper saw something strange. It was a woman in red. He didn’t know if it was Xiaohong. He only saw a back. The woman in red walked into the old lady. It took a long time to come out of the room. The reason why the housekeeper suspected that the woman was Xiaohong was because the woman did not enter through the door, but went in directly through the wall. The housekeeper was so frightened that his legs were weak. He didn’t know what to do, and he didn’t dare to tell anyone about it. He had a worry in his heart, and he never said it.

Hearing this, Yu Zicheng looked at the housekeeper and asked, “Do you suspect that my grandma killed Xiaohong, and then Xiaohong came back to take revenge?”

“Master, I don’t know.” The housekeeper lowered his head, what he thought in his heart , but he couldn’t say it in front of the young master, nor could he tell anyone else.

Yu Zicheng felt strange, so he said: “There is no reason, how could my grandma kill Xiaohong?”

“Could it be a mistake?” The housekeeper glanced at Yu Zicheng.

Shuzhen stood aside and interjected: “How is it possible, grandma is so old, how can she have any energy, how can she easily kill Xiaohong? Besides, Xiaohong is not injured, in my opinion, it’s not grandma Killed.”

“Yeah.” Yu Zicheng nodded. “Shuzhen is right.”

“Could it be that a man killed it?” The housekeeper looked at Shuzhen.

Shuzhen shook her head, bit her lip and said, “I don’t think anyone knows except Xiaohong.”

“Maybe grandma knows.” Yu Zicheng looked at the old lady who was lying on the bed. He was thinking, maybe someone killed Xiaohong and the old lady saw it. However, there was also a question. In a short period of time, who can kill Xiaohong and disappear in the room? This puzzled Yu Zicheng.

Shuzhen sighed: “Xiaohong was poisoned at a young age, and I don’t know who did it.”

“Shuzhen, did Xiaohong offend anyone?” Yu Zicheng looked at his wife.

Shuzhen shook her head and said to Yu Zicheng, “How could it be? Xiaohong is a caring person. Apart from serving me, she doesn’t deal with anyone else. Even if she talks, it’s all from the Yu family. There’s no way someone wants to hurt her, right?”

“Could it be really grandma?” Yu Zicheng looked at Madam Yu lying on the bed again. Madam Yu’s eyes were closed and she could only breathe. “By the way, butler, what did the doctor say after visiting grandma?”

“Back to the young master, the doctor said that the old lady was frightened and could only recuperate. There was no medicine to heal.” The butler answered truthfully.

Yu Zicheng punched the table and was very angry: “Ask another doctor to come and have a look!”

“Zicheng…all the doctors in the town have come, but…” Shuzhen looked at Yu Zicheng and sighed. pissed.

This incident was a blow to the Yu family. Fortunately, Yu Zicheng came back to preside over the overall situation, and the Yu family was not in chaos. In order to find out the truth of the matter, Yu Zicheng invited a pestle from another town to dig out Xiaohong’s body and conduct an inspection. Yu Zicheng did not participate in the inspection process, but waited outside, because when they dug out Xiaohong’s body from under the tree, the body was already decomposed and smelled bad. When the pestle was made, Yu Zicheng greeted her and asked anxiously, “How is it?”

“Young Master Yu, I cut open her stomach and checked, it was not poisoned, and there was no trauma to her body. The most likely cause was suffocation. “Kisaku took people’s money, and of course he did it very seriously.

Yu Zicheng listened and muttered to himself: “To die of suffocation… Then it must not be grandma…”

“What did you say? Young Master Yu.”

“Oh, I didn’t say anything.” Yu Zicheng smiled, took out the money and gave it to Kisaku. “Excuse me.”

“You’re welcome, Young Master Yu, if you need anything else, you can come to me at any time.”

“Definitely.” Yu Zicheng nodded and asked the housekeeper to send Chu Zuo out of the Yu family himself. This matter cannot be spread out. Otherwise, it will be a big trouble, and they can only investigate in private.

After Chu Zuo left, Yu Zicheng asked the housekeeper to clean up the body. He didn’t ask how to deal with it. The housekeeper did it properly. After working for decades, what can make Yu Zicheng feel uneasy? The only thing he wants to know now is who killed Xiaohong.

Seeing that Yu Zicheng Chengri was frowning over this matter, Shuzhen stewed some soothing tonics for Yu Zicheng and sent them to Yu Zicheng’s study.

“Zicheng.”

“…Shuzhen.” Yu Zicheng raised his head from the desk.

Shuzhen put the supplements on the table and said with a smile, “I need to investigate things, and my health is also important. Drink this first, I will stew it myself.”

“Yeah.” Yu Zicheng nodded, and after a few sips Stop drinking.

Miaozhen saw it, and asked with concern: “Is it bad?”

“No, I really can’t drink it.” Yu Zicheng has something on his mind, where is he still in the mood to taste the food.

“Is it for grandma?”

“Well, grandma hasn’t gotten better, which is very worrying, and the cause of Xiaohong’s death has not been found out, which is really annoying.” Yu Zicheng replied.

Shuzhen stood behind Yu Zicheng, beat Yu Zicheng’s back, and asked, “Then have you found any clues?”

“No.” Yu Zicheng shook his head and sighed: “I have done a test and said Xiaohong’s cause of death. It’s suffocation. It can be determined initially that Xiaohong was not killed by grandma. Like you said, grandma can’t have that kind of strength.”

“So, is it a man?”

“I don’t know, if it was a man, how could this person kill Xiaohong in such a short period of time without being discovered by the housekeeper? Then leave the Yu family?” This is what Yu Zicheng couldn’t figure out.

Shuzhen thought for a while, and said in a low voice, “In case the murderer didn’t leave the Yu family…”

“Shuzhen, are you saying that Xiaohong was killed by someone from the Yu family?” Yu Zicheng looked back at Shuzhen, The suspicion on his wife’s face made him feel uncomfortable, because even if it wasn’t his grandmother, if someone from the Yu family killed Shuzhen’s maid, he would not be easy to explain to Shuzhen, and of course he didn’t want it to be like this.

Shuzhen smiled slightly and replied, “Don’t think about it too much. Although I’m also very sad about Xiaohong’s death, people always think about the living, as long as grandma is fine.”

“No.” Yu Zicheng retorted : “If someone really committed a murder in the Yu family, then we are not very dangerous?”

“What you said is not unreasonable, but where do you go to find the murderer now?” Shuzhen frowned, in the eyes of the Yu family , She is a filial daughter-in-law, a kind wife, seeing her husband so troubled, of course she is not happy as a wife.

But none of this can change Yu Zicheng’s insistence. He must find the murderer, so he thinks about it day and night, and even dreams every night. After several nights in a row, he seems to think of something and falls asleep. , all of a sudden sat up from the bed.

Yu Zicheng’s movements were too big, which woke Shuzhen up. “What’s wrong? Zicheng.”

“I thought about it!”

“What did I think about?”

“I thought who killed Xiaohong.” Yu Zicheng looked at Shuzhen in horror.

Shuzhen turned pale and asked in a low voice, “Who is it?”

“My dead relative!”

“Dead relative?”

“Well, Shuzhen, do you remember the night I took you to the lantern festival? I I ran into him on the street after I separated from you.”

“Isn’t he dead? How could you see him?” Shuzhen looked confused.

Yu Zicheng gestured and replied: “I don’t know how he appeared in front of me, he told me a lot…” In retrospect, Yu Zicheng remembered what the relative said, the relative once told him that Shu is really a ghost , Thinking of this, Yu Zicheng looked at Shuzhen carefully, and found that Shuzhen seemed to have really changed a lot.

Shuzhen didn’t know why Yu Zicheng looked at him so strangely, he touched his face and asked, “Why are you looking at me like this? Zicheng.”

At this time, Yu Zicheng found out that Shuzhen didn’t dye her nails, and he remembered that Shuzhen liked it very much. Dyeing nails

… “Zicheng…” Shuzhen called softly. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you in a daze?”

“No…nothing.” Yu Zicheng shook his head, clearly the person in front of him was Shuzhen, how could it be a ghost? You must know that a ghost has no temperature and no shadow, but the hand he holds is so warm.
