Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 195 Possession
Hu Feng felt frightened when he saw the red painted wooden door in front of him, but when Yang Qian asked him if he was afraid, he said, "I don't care about life or death." Then he had no way to retreat.

Who could have thought that Yang Qian, who had acted fearless all along, would suddenly use him to take the blame?
Finally, Hu Feng took a deep breath and pushed the door open suddenly. The coldness inside was even worse, and a musty smell hit him in the face.

"Sir, the door is open." Hu Feng's breathing was a little hasty, but he managed to keep it steady. He took a look at the empty room and breathed a sigh of relief. Although this room gave him a strange and eerie feeling, he clearly couldn't see anything dangerous.

Yang Qian nodded and walked into the room without saying a word.

After Yang Qian was convinced that there was something fishy going on in the Wang family, what he saw was no longer important. What was important was his perception and the cutting patterns he could sense with his sword intent.

At this moment, Yang Qian perceived that a ball of black mist was hanging above Hu Feng's head, and lines of cutting textures appeared faintly in the black shadow.

This situation was almost the same as the scene when Yang Qian saw a ghost in Sandai City.

And just as Yang Qian thought, the person who pushed the door would be targeted. Now it depends on what this ghost is.

In fact, Yang Qian was on guard while continuing to explore in this bedroom. He couldn't communicate with ghosts, and he didn't know how much intelligence ghosts had, and whether they could communicate. So he had to rely on his own brain to investigate the case. Now, at most, he knew more about the source of danger in this case than others.

Soon, Yang Qian noticed a very strange thing in this bedroom, that is, there was only one pillow on the bed.

Don’t couples sleep together?
In addition, looking back, you can see another strange thing, that is, the latch of the door of this room is obviously different from this door, and it is much newer. It seems that it was just broken and replaced with a new one.

It is normal for the latch on the door to break, but this door is not the main door or the back door. It is the bedroom door of a young lady in the backyard. Not to mention the material and workmanship, it is unlikely to break after ten or twenty years of normal use. It is made of wood and nailed down, so it is difficult for it to break.

Seeing Yang Qian staring at the bolt on the door, Hu Feng also started to ponder it. He even moved closer to take the bolt off and hold it in his hand to examine it. He had no idea that the ghost shadow hanging above his head obviously shook a few times when he picked up the bolt, and the eerie atmosphere unconsciously became a little heavier.

"My lord, this latch looks like it has been changed several times."

"Oh? How did you tell?"

"There are quite a few holes from the waste nails underneath, and judging from the severity of the rust on it, they are not from a single time period. This latch has been replaced at least three times." Although he felt a chill entering his body and was feeling uncomfortable, Hu Feng still forced himself to analyze the situation.

"It looks like this young lady is having a very unhappy life!"

There was a pillow in the bedroom, and the latch on the door was often broken. What was this for? Considering that the young lady cut her face and threw herself into the well to commit suicide, and that she became a ghost in the end, Yang Qian had some vague guesses in his mind.
"Let's go check out the other rooms." After saying this, Yang Qian took one last look around this bedroom that looked like it only had one person living in it, and went to the next room.

It was strange, the next door was not a bedroom, but a bathroom. The entire vertical row of rooms was just the bedroom. There were two other bedrooms in the corner of the horizontal row. They were not big, one seemed to belong to a maid, and the other had a desk, which should belong to the eldest son of the Wang family.

It would be fine if the couple slept in separate rooms, but why did they deliberately keep them so far apart?
While circling the yard, Yang Qian perceived that the ghost had extended some root-like things into Hu Feng's body, and seeped in through Hu Feng's seven orifices, but Hu Feng knew nothing about it.

In the maid's room, Yang Qian also saw a medicine box placed in a convenient place. Most of the bottles and jars in it were medicine for injuries and sprains. As a constable, Yang Qian was very familiar with these things. He could even tell which kind of medicine was in these bottles.

After coming out of the Moon Gate, Yang Qian made a request that surprised everyone.

"What? Lord Yang, you want to stay here tonight?!" Deng Dian's eyes widened. He didn't expect that this young Lord Yang was so cruel. He was not afraid at all when he knew that seven constables had died in front of him. Of course, the constable next to Yang Qian was afraid. After hearing this, his face turned pale, as if he was sick?
"Don't worry, Lord Deng. Yang Qian knows what he is doing. Since he has taken this job, he has already put life and death aside. How can he be afraid and not move forward?
Besides, there are many suspicious points in this case, not only the lives and deaths of the masters, but also the servants in this yard. Haha, staying here will save me from running back and forth, and it's a good opportunity to talk more with housekeeper Chen.

To be honest with you, Lord Deng, I came to Yong'an City this time to make a bet with Lord Zhang, so I dare not not seize the time!"

Deng Dian had to admire Yang Qian's courage, and at the same time he thought to himself that the gossip that just came from the state government was true? Did Lord Yang really make a bet with Chief Constable Zhang Jun?!
This temper is really tough!

"Since Lord Yang is so righteous, I will not say any more. I will leave three yamen runners waiting outside the Wang family. If there is anything you need, Lord Yang can just send them."

After saying that, Deng Dian left the three yamen runners and left, while Yang Qian, led by Chen Yu, moved into the Wang family's guest room.

"Butler Chen, is your young mistress's maid still in the mansion?"

"Yes, but she doesn't live in that courtyard anymore. She still does the chores in the courtyard on weekdays."

"Can you call her over? I want to ask her something."

"Okay, Sir Yang, please wait a moment."

Chen Yu left. Yang Qian glanced at Hu Feng, who seemed to be drowsy and listless, and said, "You should go down and rest first. I will call you in the second half of the night, and you will be on duty in the second half of the night."

The two had been traveling without sleep for several days, drank alcohol yesterday, and got up early this morning, so they were already very tired. Yang Qian didn't care, Hu Feng just gritted his teeth and endured. Now that the ghost above his head was attacking him, his physical strength was naturally running out.

Hearing Yang Qian's words, Hu Feng nodded without any pretense. He was ready to go back to the guest room to rest, thinking that he must have expended too much energy on the road these days.

After Hu Feng left with the black group of ghosts, the cold feeling disappeared.

Not long after, a girl who was estimated to be about sixteen or seventeen years old came over with Chen Yu. After the introduction, it was understood that this girl was the maid of the young lady of the Wang family.

Waving his hand, asking the other party to stand still and talk, Yang Qian then said: "The old and young of the Wang family are all dead. When the distant relatives of the Wang family come, this family will be divided into several parts, and then all the properties of the Wang family will be sold off.

The Wang family will soon be gone in Yong'an City. So no matter what you say now, no one in this family will punish you. Because it doesn't matter anymore.

On the contrary, if you cooperate with me in investigating the case, after it is solved, you will be considered a meritorious service, and I will help you ask for a reward from the Yong'an City government.

Do you understand what I mean?"

The little girl saw that Chen Yu had left early, and she was alone in the room with the smiling official. Now the official's words hit her heart. After hesitating for a while, she nodded.

"Okay, let's talk about your eldest young master and young mistress first. They sleep in separate beds, and it seems that your young mistress is having a hard time?"
