The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 27 Night exploration of the clearing
  "Miss Wen, sir, I'm waiting for you in the car." Zhou Si appeared from behind without anyone noticing, and Wen Jiu almost lost his breath in fright.

"No, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" She looked frightened. There couldn't be another murder case.

"Your Majesty, you'll know when you get on the bus." Zhou Si bowed and saluted, his words stiff.

"Absurd! There is no reason in the world for men and women to ride together."

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Wen Jiu shrank his neck unconsciously, "Is there a charcoal fire in the car?"

"You can give birth."

"go!"

Zhou Si: "."

It seems that what Lou Wu said on weekdays is right. Our future prince's wife cannot be measured by the standards of ladies in the capital.

Lu Xu was closing his eyes to rest when a gust of cold wind came in. When he opened his eyes, he saw Wen Jiu, dressed in red, lifting the curtain and getting in, carrying a biting chill.

Wen Jiu climbed into the car in a fit of enthusiasm, but when he was alone in the car with Lu Xu, he still felt a little uneasy and could only move to the corner in embarrassment.

"Why are you here?" she asked weakly.

"Waiting for you." Lu Xu's voice was not loud, but it shocked Wen Jiu.

She subconsciously recalled what she had said to him in the afternoon, and did not mention that she was going out at night.

"wait for me?"

"You said you should be given some time to prepare, so prepare when no one is around." Lu Xu casually pulled up the car curtain, "There happens to be no one right now."

"How do you know that I will definitely go out and prepare?"

"Guess."

What if I don’t guess correctly? Wen Jiu almost asked.

"Why do you want to go out with me?" Wen Jiu glanced at him cautiously, with some vague expectation in his heart.

"I'm worried that you'll drag me down if you die." Lu Xu's voice was straight, as if he was saying the weather was good today.

Okay, okay, Lu Xu! Wen Jiu suppressed the desire to roll his eyes and took a deep breath.

It was dark outside at this time, with only a few red lanterns swaying in the restaurant in the distance. There was no one on the street. If you were walking alone, you were really afraid of seeing a ghost.

The carriage sped along the deserted streets and soon took the two of them to the open space.

This is the first time Wen Jiu has observed these sculptures so closely. Just like the day, they are still lingering with wisps of black air, no more, no less.

"Sir." Wen Jiu's voice was neither loud nor quiet, and seemed very cold in this open space.

"What's the matter?"

"There is a formation here. The murderer is not just killing for the sake of killing, he must be performing some kind of ritual or superstition."

"Is there a formation?" Lu Xu's expression moved slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Someone deliberately erected this sculpture here, using these sculptures as a formation, and the real dragon sculpture in the middle as the formation eye, sealing the souls of these seven people here."

"Did Chow Tai Fook do it?"

"Then I don't know. This is the responsibility of your government." Wen Jiu couldn't tell whether Chow Tai Fook did this, but the person who made the statue must know.

"How sure are you?" Lu Xu still asked as Wen Jiu's life was at stake.

"Remember to tell Mr. Chen these clues so that he can help him solve the case." Wen Jiu seemed not to have heard Lu Xu's last question.

"How long have you been talking about Mr. Chen?" Lu Xu hated the iron, and his voice suddenly became colder.

Wen didn't speak for a long time and walked to the bushes aside. Lu Xu didn't move. He stood in the open space and watched Wen Jiu pull out spells with red letters on yellow paper from his sleeves, muttering something in his mouth.

Within a few words, the talismans in her hand started to burn. Wen Jiu looked back at the open space over there, and sure enough, the black energy was completely suppressed in an instant.

The seven people were trapped in the sculpture. Even if they released their resentment, only a little could be revealed due to the suppression of the formation. At this time, these innocent souls felt the danger and restrained their resentment slightly. The black clouds floating around the statue Naturally, the anger also decreased.

Zhou Si and Lou Wu stood behind Lu Xu, looking straight at Wen Jiuchu. Last time they were too busy trying their best to look carefully enough.
  Wen Jiu jumped up with anger and threw the talisman with a wave of his delicate hand. The seemingly ordinary yellow talisman papers flew in all directions as if they were spiritual.

The two stared blankly as the talisman was attached to the tree trunks around the clearing, and then hid in the tree trunks without closing their mouths.

"Can Miss Wen really know how to catch ghosts?" Lou Wu could not suppress the curiosity on his face.

"If I don't catch ghosts, why should I catch you?" Zhou Si looked at Lou Wu's confused look, how could he ask such a stupid question.

Wen Jiu patted the dust on his hands and jumped back to Lu Xu, "Okay, let's go."

Thin clouds cover the moon, and the night is dark.

Lu Xu's eyes fell on Wen Jiu very brightly: "No need to do anything else?"

Wen Jiu avoided his gaze unnaturally, "We'll do the rest tomorrow."

She walked around slowly and leisurely, pointed to the room on the second floor where she stood yesterday and asked, "Can you please block it there at noon today?"

Lu Xu glanced at her hand, "Why?"

"I just need to collect these evil things there. It won't scare others or reveal my identity."

"it is good."

next day
  Wen Jiu made an excuse to leave the Wen Mansion early. Before Zhou Shu brought anyone to the open space, he went to the room prepared by Lu Yuyu and waited peacefully.

She leaned against the window and looked around carefully. It was a good place. She could see every move of the group of people in the open space, but those people couldn't see her at all.

After almost a bowl of tea, she heard the noise coming downstairs.

The government officials are here.

"The government is handling the case. Anyone who is not involved should leave this place immediately!"

"What's going on? What's going on?"

The people who originally gathered around the sculpture to pray and kneel down were blocked from the open space by officers and soldiers.

"Why is there something happening in this place? Isn't it just a few sculptures?" The men, women, and children crowded together began to feel dissatisfied.

"I heard that Mr. Zhou Dashan was arrested by the government a few days ago! Is there really something wrong!"

"But what can be wrong with these statues?"

Everyone was talking in lowered voices.

Chen Shu was wearing a dark red official uniform today. Although he stood still and did not move, he felt a bit oppressed by not being angry or intimidating.

He stared at the statue for a while and said, "Smash it open."

Everyone onlookers took a breath of air-conditioning. What are you doing?
  Is it possible that it is illegal to put up a few sculptures? There are no people here like the adult in front of me!

The officers and soldiers under his command surrendered and quickly lowered the seven statues to the ground and started beating them.

Wen Jiu carefully hid by the window, raised his hand and twisted it, activating the dragnet that had been laid out last night.

"Sir!" One of the officers and soldiers noticed something and quickly called Chen Shu.

　Today I finally saw a cute comment from a cute little guy. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow...
