Chapter 18 Ancient House, Peach Essence

"What are you doing?"

An's voice came from the room, and all the long-term workers seemed to have found their backbone, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Public Security Bureau suspects that Wang Erlei's death is related to the Shen family. Come to investigate? This is Mr. Qian from the provincial capital."

In the rain, someone answered.

It was Zhou Chongzong, who was also in the team.

These words were both an answer and a reminder.

In front of the screen wall, stood a middle-aged man wearing a dark suit and a Western watch.

The security guards were all wearing raincoats, and the rain slid down the raincoats. He was the only one who did not wear one, nor did he hold an umbrella. He seemed to be surrounded by an invisible force field, and the rain could not fall on him.

This is the helper that Director Xie hired from the provincial capital, Xie Changan. As for Director Xie himself?
How could he go out of his way to handle the case in the middle of the night?
Or in the rain?

The middle-aged man stood there with scrutiny in his eyes.

"Do you have any friendship with the Shen family?"

Zhou Chongzong's heart trembled, and he said bravely: "Xia Guan and Mr. Shen are good friends."

Master Qian narrowed his eyes and looked at him until Zhou Chongzong started to break out in a cold sweat, then he looked away.

He didn't say anything, but the shock effect was obvious.

Not only the long-term workers, but also the security guards breathed much softer and did not dare to give in half-heartedly.

Among the people present, An was the only one who could speak despite Master Qian's aura.

"Master Qian, is it because Wang Erlei had a conflict with my Shen family that you suspected our family?"

"To be honest, although Wang Erlei has a conflict with our family, he hired a murderer to kill someone just for this matter? Our Shen family is a decent family and has been a good citizen for generations. We cannot do such a thing."

"Besides, we don't know Ghost Face Yama, so we can't contact him even if we want to."

Mr. Qian waved his hand and stopped An.

"Whether it is, I can make my own judgment."

Then he looked at Li Silang.

"Let me ask you, where were you at one o'clock yesterday afternoon? Who was around you?"

Li Silang glanced at Mr. An first, and then replied carefully: "Yesterday at one o'clock in the afternoon, I was at Qingxi Medical Center. Third Miss, Uncle Zhang, and Uncle Li were also there at that time."

Mr. Qian nodded slightly, passed a few people, and looked at Wu Ma and others.

"what about you?"

"I cook in the kitchen."

Zhao Ma answered tremblingly.

"I'm sweeping."

Wu Ma thought for a moment and answered carefully.

"Have you ever seen Shen Guanye?"

"Do you doubt my son?"

Anshi was shocked and angry.

Only then did she realize that she had thought wrong before.

Mr. Qian did not suspect that they secretly bribed Yama to kill people, but suspected that her son was Yama.

This is ridiculous!
At this moment, An even thought about whether Mr. Qian was deliberately setting up a frame-up to seize the Shen family's property.
"Sir Qian, my Shen family is a well-known family in Hongdong County. Even if my husband is injured and unconscious, he will not be bullied."

"Although you are a big shot from the provincial capital, you cannot frame our family for no reason!"

Anshi immediately protested.

"Noisy!"

Lord Qian suddenly shouted low, and invisible waves rushed towards An, wanting to teach her a lesson.

suddenly!

The pomegranate tree in the courtyard burst into a burst of red-pink light, and countless peach blossoms flew out from the trunk, forming a barrier to block the fluctuations.

Then a figure flew out of the tree trunk and landed in front of An.

This is a woman who looks like a peach blossom fairy. She has a branch on her head with peach blossoms in full bloom. She holds a peach branch in her hand and points it at Lord Qian in front of the screen wall like a sword.

"Peach essence!"

Someone among the security guards exclaimed.

The Peach Spirit is a third-level heroic spirit of the mountain and sea system, a fairy transformed from a peach tree.

His nature is Yang, and he is good at dealing with Yin monsters. He is also known as "Willow Ghost".

No one expected that the Shen family would actually hide a peach spirit as a house-guarding spirit.Even Zhou Chongzong's face flashed with a look of surprise. This was the first time he knew about the existence of Tao Jing.

An didn't show any surprise.

As the headmistress of the family, it is impossible for her to be unaware of the family's deepest secrets.

This peach spirit was passed down from Shen Guanye's great-grandfather and existed as a house-guarding heroic spirit.

Apart from her and her husband, only the old lady in the countryside knew about this matter in the entire Shen family. Not even Shen Guanye and her five siblings knew about it.

Mr. Qian was also a little surprised, but quickly looked away.

A mere peach essence is not worthy of his attention.

"go on."

Mr. Qian motioned to Wu Ma to continue.

"I saw that the eldest young master was always in the room."

"Did you just hear voices, or did you see people? Honestly, don't even think about deceiving me."

Wu Ma was taken aback.

"Look……"

"to be frank!"

Master Qian shouted sharply without any warning.

When Wu Ma's words came to her lips, only the truth remained.

"Only voices were heard."

An's face changed slightly.

"I saw the eldest young master. I was in the front yard at the time. The window of the eldest young master's room was open. I can testify that the eldest young master was in the room at that time."

At this time, Uncle Zhang suddenly spoke.

"you sure?"

"I'm sure."

Uncle Zhang nodded affirmatively.

Anshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly heard Master Qian sneer.

"Seeing is not necessarily believing. If Shen Guanye is really the ghost-faced Yama, or has a lot to do with the ghost-faced Yama, it is normal for him to use a blinding method to hide it from you fools and fools."

"you!"

An was furious and was interrupted mercilessly by Mr. Qian.

"Which room is Shen Guanye's room?"

Master Qian ignored An's threats and obstruction, and after asking for the answer he wanted from the servant, he broke into Shen Guanye's room directly.

Then he took out a piece of talisman paper and muttered something.

Apparently, he was an enlightened person on the path of a Taoist priest.

The talisman ignited spontaneously without fire, and the talisman's ashes flew around the room like a dragon and scattered on the ground.

"There are no traces of magic?"

Mr. Qian let out a light sigh.

It shouldn't be. Even a level 2 free-spirited warrior cannot escape the perception of the inspiration talisman. Could it be that Shen Guanye really has nothing to do with the ghost-faced Yama?

"How's it going? Mr. Qian, are you still checking?"

An stood at the door with a cold face.

"Before the case comes to light, you Shen family are the suspects. Forget it today, but if there are new clues in the future, I hope you can cooperate with the investigation, not like tonight."

An's face was ashen. This was the first time since she married into the Shen family that she had been treated so rudely.

Not to mention after marrying into the Shen family, she had never been treated like this even when she was still a girl in her natal family.

Then, Master Qian turned around and left the room without shouting to leave.

He not only looked down upon the Shen family, but also the entire Hongdong County people. In his eyes, these were all country people.

The security guards looked at each other and hurried to follow.

Zhou Chongzong had no time to speak, so he could only give An Shi a wry smile, and then hurriedly followed.

"The master from this provincial capital is so majestic."

After a while, in the dark and quiet Shen House, Wu Ma's sigh rang out.
