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

Chapter 67 Traces of Talisman
  Here, there are signs that talisman paper has been used.
  So it wasn't just the drug, that person must have used some other talisman in order to be sure.
  It was just a heavy rain, so the traces left by the talisman paper were very faint, and it was impossible to determine what kind of talisman it was.

But why Li Shiyi?

Wen Jiu straightened up and looked at the back mountain. Due to the heavy rain, the back mountain was filled with fog, let alone cats. Even if there were a bunch of people entering at this time, he might not be able to see clearly from here. It was really weird.

"Come up, if you fall down, Chen Shu's case may be difficult to solve." After listening to Wen Jiu's explanation, Lu Xu's heart was generally clear.

Wen Jiu hesitated for a moment before getting into the carriage.

"Do you think something evil is causing trouble again?" Seeing Wen Jiu sitting still, Lu Xu handed over the hand stove that had been prepared nearby, "Ghost hunters are also afraid of the cold."

Only then did Wen Jiu realize that his hands were red from the cold, and he felt a little moved when he took the stove.

I really can't tell that Lu Xu has such a careful side.

"It's been raining all afternoon, so it's really cold."

"Why don't you hold an umbrella? Doesn't the Wen family have an umbrella?"

"It's not convenient to climb over the wall." Wen Jiu glanced at Lu Xu with some disgust.

We have known each other for so long, how come this person still doesn’t know that he is not taking the usual path.

"What do you think of this case?" Lu Xu returned to the topic. If ghosts were involved, it would be really difficult for the Criminal Department to solve the case.

Although Chen Shu is considered a rare talent.

This is the daughter of the minister of humerus in the court. Something happened to her in the academy. This is the person chosen by the Holy Emperor himself. When these things happen, it is necessary to find out the case as soon as possible and give Mr. Li justice.

"There are evil intentions, and there are also people." Wen Jiu looked at the hand stove in his hand thoughtfully, "The poetry must have offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and that person will put her to death."

"But Shiyi is a simple person, and it doesn't seem like he would make enemies with others."

Liu Yue's face suddenly popped into Wen Jiu's mind. He was living well even though he was so indebted, but Li Shiyi actually
  "If she has a good temper, she will offend very few people. Chen Shu is cautious and must have summoned the people around her for questioning. You only need to follow him."

Wen Jiu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm about to go find him."

"Looking for him?" Lu Xu turned his head slightly and stared seriously at the woman beside him.

"Shi Yi has mostly told me what happened in the past few days. If possible, I would like to talk to him again to see if I can provide some clues."

"Yeah." Lu Xu didn't speak anymore. Wen Jiu had something on his mind. Although he felt that the general atmosphere in the carriage was a bit dull, he didn't take it to heart.

The carriage was walking leisurely on the road. In such weather, even in the Western Market, the busiest place in Beijing, there were only a few small vendors preparing to close their stalls and go back.

Wen Jiu got off the carriage early and looked up in the car. Lu Xu was sitting upright in the middle. He was in the dark and could not see the expression on his face clearly.

"Thank you." Wen Jiu lowered his head.

"I'll ask Lou Wu to pick you up here later. If your identity is really discovered, it's better to be careful."

Wen Jiu thought for a moment and realized that he really didn't want to walk on this rainy night.

"it is good."

I don't know since when, the relationship between her and Lu Xu seemed to be much closer, less like allies who were forced to be tied together, and more like friends.

Maybe it was after the incident at Suining Palace.

Wen Jiu stopped thinking and walked into the alley holding an umbrella. There was a lot of moss on the ground here, so she walked carefully.

Like the owner who approached this house, he didn't dare to miss a single step.

"dong dong dong"

Wen Jiu knocked on the door tentatively and saw that it was almost midnight. He wondered if Chen Shu had come back.
  No one responded
  She clicked three more times but no one opened the door.

Opening the umbrella again, it seemed to be an unlucky thing, she thought with a frown on her face. “Creak—” the sound of the door opening came from behind, “Miss Wen?”

Chen Miao looked at the person at the door and his eyes suddenly widened with surprise.

"Why are you here? Come in quickly."

Before Wen Jiu could ask Chen Shu if he was at home, he was pulled in by Chen Miao.

This is the first time I have been to Chen Shu's home.

"Is Mr. Chen at home?" Wen Jiu glanced at the house.

However, the courtyard on the fourth floor, with black tiles and blue bricks, looks to be quite old. This house is probably much older than myself.

It's just that every room is filled with orange candlelight, which is intertwined and looks particularly warm on this rainy night.

Unlike Taifu's Mansion, there is still a long way to go from your own yard to your parents' yard.

"Yes! The front foot just came back!" Chen Miao turned around and shouted: "Brother! Miss Wen is here!"

Chen Shuben was sitting next to the desk, dealing with today's case. There were many clues but he couldn't connect them together at all. He frowned and seemed to have no clue.

Suddenly hearing Chen Miao's cry, he suddenly raised his eyes, thinking that he heard wrongly.

How come she is here?

She should have a good rest at home.

Chen Shu stood up and opened the door, and saw Wen Jiu standing in the courtyard holding an umbrella, wearing a silver-red flowered long coat made by a skilled craftsman, which was incompatible with the surrounding scenery.

"Master Chen." Wen Jiu nodded gently.

Chen Shu pursed his lower lip slightly, "But is there something wrong?"

Wen Jiu looked up at him with moved eyes: "I remembered something at home and wanted to tell Mr. Chen in person."

Chen Shu lowered his head, and the well-jointed hands hidden in his sleeves had unconsciously clenched into fists.

He knew it was against etiquette, but this was business.

After a long while, Wen Jiu heard him whisper: "Come in."

The lanterns under the eaves were swaying slightly, and the light and shadow shining into the room were a little orange. Wen Jiu sat aside and watched Chen Shu pour tea for him. His eyes were half-downcast, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy about her visit.

Chen Shu is really difficult for Wen Jiu to see through.

In other words, the authorities are confused.

"Miss Wen is visiting now. She must have something important to tell you." Chen Shu put the teacup in front of Wen Jiu, "It's cold outside, so drink some tea to warm yourself up first."

Wen Jiu picked up the tea cup and felt that the palm of his hand was hot.

She took a sip carefully, it was very sweet.

"Sweet?" Wen Jiu looked at Chen Shu doubtfully.

"There are some. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the hardship." Chen Miao said, which girl is willing to endure hardship?
  "Your Majesty, you are interested. In fact, the tea at home is also bitter, but the sweet ones are delicious." Wen Jiu took another sip carefully, and even his heart began to feel hot.

"Did you remember anything again?" Chen Shu asked after seeing her finish the tea in one gulp.

Wen Jiu put down his teacup and said, "Sir, from the second day after entering the academy, Shiyi said that he would hear cats meowing at night, until something happened that night, but the rest of us almost didn't hear it."

Chen Shu lowered his eyes to the table, seeming to be thinking.
