After the luck of rebirth was taken away, the true and false daughters teamed up

Chapter 523 The Shadow
A piece of paper money was wrapped in the cold wind and flew into Li Hong's face with a snap.

A wave of coldness wrapped around Li Hong.

Li Hong quickly took away the paper money, threw it aside, and bared his teeth, thinking that this was too bad luck.

Song Shiyun glanced at the paper money on the floor and looked up at the front hall in the yard.

"This place is dark and quite scary." Li Hong stood next to Song Shiyun, kicked away the paper money on the ground, and couldn't help but muttered: "How long have people been dead, why are there still so many paper money?"

Song Shiyun heard this and said slowly: "Yes, people have been dead for so long, why is there still so much paper money?"

Li Hong was stunned, "Little junior sister, what do you mean by this?"

Song Shiyun said: "When Mrs. Ge originally sent someone to send a message to her family, Mrs. Qi was already dead. If it were the day of the funeral, it would be fine if she had these paper money. But during the funeral, nothing happened in Yuhua Town. Wait. The accident happened a few days later. Logically speaking, Mrs. Qi should have been buried by then. If that's the case, why is there still so much paper money?"

Li Hong's eyes lit up, "It seems right! Didn't the old man say that a few days after Ge sent him the letter, something went wrong in Yuhua Town?"

Generally, people like Mrs. Qi, who are older and younger than others, will be suspended for at most three days after their death, for fear of hurting the elderly in the family if there are too many.

In other words, Mrs. Qi should have been buried when large-scale problems occurred in Yuhua Town.

How could the Qi family still have so much paper money?
"By the way, these white flags are also very strange!" Li Hong looked at the white flags erected in the yard, "These white flags should not be here!"

Song Shiyun looked around, "So, why are the white flags and paper money still here when they should have disappeared?"

Li Hong was confused, "I don't know about this. Could it be that someone sneaked in later and paid homage to the Qi family?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Hong shook his head, "No, the government has sealed off Yuhua Town for several years, and no one else is allowed in or out. The Qi family can be said to have been wiped out. Who would come to secretly worship?" ?”

Song Shiyun picked up a piece of paper money from the ground and said quietly: "If someone hadn't secretly come to worship, then there are only two possibilities. Either it was before other people in Yuhua Town had an accident and the Qi family was in mourning. There was already a problem, but no one noticed it.”

Li Hong heard this and said subconsciously: "Isn't this unlikely? The Qi family is so famous in Yuhua Town, and there are so many people in the family. It is impossible for them to die at the same time. How could the outside world not notice any news?"

Song Shiyun continued: "Another possibility is that someone is trying to make something mysterious."

Li Hong: "..."

He said in astonishment: "Are you trying to be mysterious?"

The next second, Li Hong's eyes widened.

"Junior sister, do you mean there is anyone else here?"

Li Hong quickly looked around and saw nothing suspicious.

The Qi family was a little too quiet.

The only sound left was the howling of the cold wind and the sound of burning oil in the lantern.

Li Hong's heartbeat slowed down subconsciously, and he became more energetic.

hula-

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the white flags began to flutter.

Li Hong was startled, looked around quickly, and slowly placed one hand on the sword he carried with him.

Song Shiyun didn't have much reaction. Looking at the main hall in front of her, she walked straight over.

Seeing this, Li Hong quickly followed.

The door to the main hall was ajar.

Song Shiyun walked over, reached out and slowly opened the door.

A cloud of dust rolled up inside.

Song Shiyun raised his hand, fanned the dust in front of him, crossed the threshold, and walked in.

At the same time, a shadow flashed across the bed on the side.

Li Hong quickly drew out his sword, turned his head to look over, and said sternly: "Who is where?!"

There was no one in the corridor outside the window.

Only the shadow of Li Hong was reflected in the moonlight.

Song Shiyun heard the movement, turned to look at Li Hong, and asked, "Elder brother, what's wrong?"

Li Hong looked serious, "There seemed to be a shadow running past just now!"

Song Shiyun narrowed his eyes slightly, "Senior Brother, are you sure?"

Just as Li Hong was about to nod, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He looked at Song Shiyun nervously, "Little junior sister, didn't you notice?"

Song Shiyun shook his head slightly, and her reaction confirmed Li Hong's guess.

Li Hong was the only one who noticed the passing shadow.

Li Hong couldn't help but be stunned, "...could it be that my eyesight is dazzled?" Song Shiyun looked at the corridors on both sides of the door, but saw no shadow at all.

Song Shiyun looked at Li Hong and looked him up and down, "Senior Brother, are you nervous?"

Li Hong pursed his lips, "It's a little bit, but there shouldn't be any illusion."

He knew he was nervous because he and Song Shiyun were working alone on the case.

In the past, such a big case would require at least seven or eight people to come together.

Or it would be better to check it out in broad daylight.

Today, there were only two of him and Song Shiyun. It was strange that Li Hong wasn't nervous after arriving so late.

What's more, as the senior brother, he must protect Song Shiyun.

Therefore, it can be said that Li Hong was 12 alert tonight, fearing that there would be some oversight or omission that would lead to any unfavorable results.

However, this level of tension won’t cause him to hallucinate, right?
Li Hong couldn't help but look outside. For some reason, he felt that what he just saw should be real.

But for some reason, Song Shiyun didn't notice anything.

Logically speaking, Song Shiyun is more sensitive than him...

For a moment, Li Hong had some doubts about life.

Seeing the confusion on Li Hong's face, Song Shiyun frowned slightly. She really didn't feel anything just now.

However, Li Hong's feeling may not be wrong.

Song Shiyun thought about this and whispered: "Elder brother, your feeling is not necessarily wrong. There may be something real."

Li Hong had some self-doubt, "Is it true that I made a mistake? But little junior sister, didn't you notice it?"

Song Shiyun said: "Didn't the local Xuanmen and Tiansi Bureau who came before notice anything suspicious? Maybe that thing can really hide."

This reason convinced Li Hong.

Li Hong's nervousness improved slightly.

Song Shiyun continued: "No matter what, just in case, we will always act together tonight and not separate."

Li Hong nodded immediately, "Yes, I think so too."

Song Shiyun looked outside again to make sure there was nothing wrong, "Come in first and check if there is anything strange inside Qi's house."

Li Hong said hello and followed Song Shiyun into the main hall.

In the main hall, all the furniture and furnishings were gone, leaving only the four walls.

Li Hong couldn't help but be startled when he saw this, "Where are the things inside the Qi family...?"

Isn't it said that the Qi family is the first-class rich man in Yuhua Town?

Judging from this house, he must be very wealthy indeed. Why is there no furniture at all in the house?

Song Shiyun looked at the empty main hall, and there were no traces of the furniture on the ground. She whispered, "It must have been that the government ransacked the house early after the incident, right?"

Furniture that has been left for many years will definitely leave traces on the ground, unless it has been vacated for many years and the old traces are covered by new traces.

When Li Hong heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, "Is this okay?"

Song Shiyun said quietly: "I'm just guessing."

When Li Hong heard this, he felt it was very possible.

If the government hadn't raided the house, who would have evacuated so much furniture from Qi's house under government control and strict surveillance?

However, the Qi family are all dead. Even if they are really evacuated, no one will say anything.

Song Shiyun looked at the main hall. There was obviously no clue, so she quickly said: "Go to the wing in the backyard and have a look."

Li Hong nodded, and the two of them walked towards the backyard one after the other.

Li Hong held a lantern and followed Song Shiyun, looking around warily.

While walking through a corridor, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow passing behind me.

Li Hong turned his head suddenly, but saw nothing.

"Elder brother, what's wrong with you?" Song Shiyun noticed his behavior, stopped and asked him.

Li Hong said nervously: "I, I seem to have seen that black shadow again..."
