Alien Dust

Chapter 290 The Flower Thief in the Villa
The sky was hazy and the wind brought moist air into Qiming Villa.

A woman in the villa was tied up and was about to be thrown off the cliff. She complained angrily, but no one knew what language she was speaking. It was as if she was possessed by a demon.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." A man in a straw raincoat rushed out from the rain and stopped the barbaric behavior of the people from the villa.

"She is possessed by evil spirits and must be executed." said several men in the villa dressed in white.

"Possessed by evil spirits also needs to be carefully identified. If there are signs of recovery, wouldn't it be a waste of a life, which is detrimental to one's virtue?" said the man in the straw raincoat seriously.

"Master Lu, do you have any good ideas?" the owner of the villa came over and asked.

"Well, since I helped you catch the flower thief, I will also perform an exorcism for you. If she still cannot come back to life, you can throw her off the cliff." Taking off his straw raincoat, Wu Hen walked towards the tied-up woman.

The woman's eyes were filled with anger and she felt unwilling. She stared at Wu Hen who was walking towards her with caution.

This was already the third month of the revenge. Wu Hen and Ruan Muhan had become somewhat famous in the surrounding area and had considerable prestige in the city. Gradually, people began to approach them to do things.

These days, the owner of a mountain villa specially invited the two to visit. After three rounds of drinks, the owner expressed his helplessness and hoped that the couple could take action to catch the flower thief.

The flower thief was caught.

He was a young and strong fellow in the villa, and he fell in love with the daughter of the villa owner.

In order to help the lovers finally get married, the two of them staged a play together. The woman, not afraid of the stigma, let the servant break into her boudoir at night to create the illusion of a thief breaking into the house.

When her reputation is gone, the woman will then naturally propose to marry a lowly servant. Otherwise, the owner of the manor, who is particular about the matching of family backgrounds, would never allow a young man to be the son-in-law of their manor.

The idea was good, but unfortunately he met the detective Wu Hen.

By observing the girl's expression through psychic vision, he knew she was lying. After checking the crime scene, he knew that someone inside the villa had committed the crime...

The flower thief was caught, but Wu Hen did not make it public. Instead, he told the matter to the owner of the manor who seemed to be relatively reasonable.

The owner of the manor realized that his daughter was willing to give up her reputation and marry the waiter. After much thought, he had no choice but to accept it. He planned to hire a martial arts master to teach the waiter martial arts and train him as his future son-in-law.

The whole thing ended relatively successfully, but just as they were about to leave the villa, a woman in the villa was possessed by evil spirits!
Coincidentally, this woman seems to be the guy's sister.

"Outside Wumeng Mountain, there are mountains connected to mountains..."

"The moonlight shines on Xiangshui Beach?" The possessed woman widened her eyes and looked at Wu Hen who came to give the secret signal.

In an instant, the eyes of both of them became clear and full of respect.

"Your identity has been discovered. Now you can either quit directly or listen to me and do as I say." Wu Hen whispered to the younger sister.

"Yeah, yeah." The woman nodded.

"Your name is Qiu Cui, and you are Qiu Shang's sister." Wu Hen said.

"No, that's not the case. My name is Li Qiuhua!" The woman shook her head desperately.

"Sister, you have to adapt to your current identity. No matter what you are called by us, you must first determine your identity here, otherwise you will be regarded as a person possessed by evil spirits and executed directly!" Wu Hen persuaded.

It can be seen that this is a novice.

Everyone in the home who steps into the Zhenwu world must first acknowledge their identity as a lower-dwelling being. Once they are discovered to be an "awakener," they will definitely not have a good ending.

Obviously, this girl is too naive.

"I know, big brother, I know what you said, but the truth is that my name here is Li Qiuhua. After I woke up, I checked my room and saw my ID card and some things passed down by my parents. This is what I am called here, but I don't know why they insist on saying that my name is Qiu Cui, and that I am a servant in this villa." The woman tried her best to defend herself.

Wu Hen frowned.

How come the situation got complicated?

"Qiu Shang, does your sister have another name? Was she picked up?" Wu Hen stood up and asked the "flower thief".

"No, we grew up together and are blood siblings. Her name is Qiu Cui. The day before yesterday morning, she started acting strange. She couldn't even figure out who she was or what her name was. I told the housekeepers, and they said she was possessed by evil spirits, so they tied her up and observed her for two days. But she didn't know anything when I asked her, and she even spoke some strange language." Qiu Shang said helplessly.

Wu Hen nodded and asked Qiu Shang to leave first.

Ruan Muhan on the side also watched quietly without asking any questions.

Originally, this was just a small episode outside of the matter. Ruan Muhan also knew that Lu Yun was kind-hearted and liked to help others, so he didn't say much.

"This is strange." Wu Hen touched his chin, wondering which link went wrong.

This compatriot clearly believed that his identity was "Li Qiuhua" and was even able to produce evidence.

But everyone around her said that her name was "Qiu Cui".

"When did you wake up? Was there anything unusual when you woke up?" Wu Hen asked.

"It's just these few days. There's nothing unusual about it, except that the person was clearly in the house, but his whole body was soaked. I guess the original owner of the habitat caught a cold and burned his brain." The woman said. The woman's words reminded Wu Hen.

Since it wakes up, it means that the original owner of the habitat is lost.

So why are we lost?
Catching a cold, fever, or a serious illness will indeed make you lost, and it also meets the prerequisites for the time travelers to enter.

But why do I feel like something is a little weird?

Why doesn’t she just happen to be the sister of the “flower thief”?
"What kind of work do you usually do with your identity?" Wu Hen asked.

"Working in the woodshed."

"That's not right. People who work in the woodshed won't run out to get wet in the rain, and it's even more impossible for them to get wet indoors..." Wu Hen immediately caught something sharp.

"Yes, I don't know what this habitat did before I woke up, so I don't know what to do now. You know, virtual helmets are very expensive now. I have saved money for a month. If I don't get something valuable back, I won't be able to afford food." said the woman.

Her tone sounded like that of a female college student who had come out to work and study. She had done her homework and had been cautious and serious in her approach to the business, but she was exposed right from the start, which made her very unwilling and aggrieved.

"You woke up, do you feel any discomfort, physically?" Wu Hen asked.

"Vomiting, nasal discomfort, and difficulty breathing, it feels like someone drowning and climbing out of a fish pond, but I've heard that the custom version of the helmet will be like this." said the woman.

"It's not that exaggerated. There will only be a temporary feeling of dizziness, and some people may not even have any physiological reaction... I feel like it's not caused by the helmet, but more like you're really drowning." Wu Hen frowned.

I feel more and more that something is not right!
"Ah? I have no idea what to do. Kind brother, please help me." The woman pleaded.

"We are compatriots, of course. No matter how bad the situation is, I will take you away. I won't let you be thrown off the cliff. That would be so cruel... But I think the things at the villa are not that simple. Please be patient for a while and I will ask more." Wu Hen said.

"Okay, okay, thank you big brother!" The woman nodded repeatedly.

Wu Hen left the bamboo cage and walked towards Ruan Muhan.

Ruan Muhan looked at Wu Hen quietly, waiting for him to speak.

"We may have thought things were simple," Wu Hen said.

"Is there any hidden secret?" Ruan Muchan asked in surprise.

"Well, it's raining heavily outside and we can't get back to the city in a while. How about we stay in this villa for one night?" Wu Hen said.

"Listen to you."

……

Wu Hen had the horses led back to the stable and explained his intention to stay overnight to the owner of the manor.

The owner of the manor was eager to have the two of them here, and he would treat them with good wine and delicious food. The owner of the manor was willing to make friends with chivalrous men, and what's more, Wu Hen was the young master of Yacheng, and the owner of the manor had heard a lot about his situation.

"Is there a deep well near the woodshed?" Wu Hen asked.

"Yes." A woodshed worker answered.

"Take me to see it." Wu Hen said to the woodshed clerk.

Going to the woodshed, Wu Hen found the deep well.

The well was nailed shut with wood, probably because it was rarely used, but there was a gap between the wood, and people could crawl in.

Wu Hen didn't mind the dirtiness and crawled into the well mouth, then used his spiritual vision to look into the well water.

It was pitch black in the well, but Wu Hen could vaguely see that there was a button in the well water.

After picking up the button, Wu Hen observed it and recalled the scene when he caught the flower thief Qiu Shang, whose clothes were tied with a hemp rope. Then everything became clear to him.

"I almost got fooled. I thought the lovers were going to get married, but it turned out to be a setup!" Wu Hen said indignantly.

Arriving at the woodshed, Wu Hen used his spiritual vision to observe again. After finding some more favorable evidence, he returned to the hall of the villa.

In the hall, the owner of the manor had already prepared a table of delicious food to entertain Wu Hen and Ruan Muhan.

In order to show off his magnanimity, the owner of the manor made an exception and invited the "flower-stealing son-in-law" to the table. Dressed in a clean and tidy silk dress, his whole temperament was different. He was no longer a handyman, but had a bit of a young master's flavor.

This dressing up also made the owner of the manor and the eldest lady of the manor happy. It seemed that this guy was just of humble origin and could still look presentable after some tidying up.

"Master, excuse my intrusion, but I'm afraid this future son-in-law you just recognized is not a good man." Wu Hen went straight to the point.

“Young Master, things have come to this, there is no need to…” The eldest lady of the villa immediately spoke out to stop him.

Wu Hen was very tough. He threw a very rough button in front of the prospective son-in-law and said coldly, "You can do such a beastly thing as stuffing your original wife into the well and drowning her. How can you still have the nerve to wear bright and beautiful clothes and sit here to drink with everyone?"
