Chapter 317 The Phantom by the Window
Fatty Wang shuddered, and was startled by the woman's sharp laughter.

The surrounding environment was a bit gloomy. In the empty villa, a woman suddenly laughed sharply. If you were a timid person, you would definitely turn your head and run away.

Fatty Wang is not very courageous, but money makes people courageous. Under the temptation of money, this guy is hardened once in a while.

"How do you do it? Do you want to go in and have a look?" Fatty Wang asked me in a tentative tone.

I pondered for a while, then raised my foot and walked towards the villa, beckoning back, motioning for Fatty Wang to come and open the door.

At this time, the talisman paper crane in his arms trembled slightly.

There was doubt in my eyes, I don't know what the eldest lady is looking for me at this time.

Reaching out to take out the talisman paper crane, a line of beautiful handwriting appeared on it.

"Are you okay, have you been hurt by that monster?"

I took out a pen and wrote on the other side of the talisman paper crane: "I'm fine, what happened that time was safe and sound."

In the past, my cultivation base was not enough, so I could only passively accept the news. Last time, it was a blessing in disguise, and I absorbed the essence of the Dragon's Back Stone. I can already use the talisman paper crane to communicate with the eldest lady in the underworld.

"It seems that you have benefited a lot, congratulations!"

Miss Lan Xinhui said, I don't need to say more, I have already guessed the ending of the matter.

"Hey, let me tell you, what are you doing? As a great expert, you are not scouting the way ahead, and Lao Xu and I dare not go in." Fatty Wang opened the door and said in a low voice.

"There's something else, we'll talk when we have time."

I hurriedly wrote this sentence, put away the talisman paper crane, squinted my eyes, and looked into the villa. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, ghost detective Xu Fang walked over lightly, and cautiously looked into the villa.

I bit my finger, and tapped twice on both eyes to open my eyes.

The blood on the fingertips was bright red, with a touch of pale gold. After opening the hole, I was surprised to find that my vision had improved a little.

I was a little happy in my heart. It seems that the last trip to southern Yunnan improved my strength in all aspects.

"I came into this house last time. The light switch in the living room is by the wall on the left." Fatty Wang said behind him.

"Don't turn on the light, go in and check the situation before we talk." I walked lightly and walked into the villa.

Ghost Detective Xu took out his mobile phone and lit it from the back. The villa is very elegantly decorated, and it can be seen that the owner has a high level of artistic accomplishment.

"Which room was the shadow shaking just now?" I asked Fatty Wang softly.

Fatty Wang pointed to it, and said that the room where the figure appeared just now was on the second floor. He checked it last time and found nothing unusual.

I signaled Fatty Wang to lead the way, and I raised my vigilance and followed behind.

The result of the investigation was somewhat disappointing. Not only did we find nothing on the second floor, but we searched the third floor carefully, not to mention people, not even a ghost.

"It's really evil. It's just such a small villa. It's impossible to hide an old demon whose knowledge is deeper than ours?" Fatty Wang walked behind, muttering in a low voice.

Ghost Detective Xu has been observing silently from beginning to end, without saying anything.

"Old Xu, did you find anything?" I asked sideways.

Ghost Detective Xu was born as a private detective. If we were to say who is the best at finding clues, among the three of us, he must be the one.

"I'm not sure, I'd better turn on the light first." Ghost Detective Xu looked thoughtful.

Fatty Wang had been here once before, and he was familiar with the way. He turned on all the lights in the villa, and the surrounding lights were brightly lit.

Ghost Detective Xu went straight to the first floor, returned to the gate of the villa, and followed our previous footprints, from beginning to end, carefully inspected it again.

"Old Xu, what are you doing walking around?" Fatty Wang asked impatiently.

"I'm thinking, if I hide in this villa, where should I hide when someone comes in." Ghost Detective Xu looked around carefully and said absently.

I fixed my gaze, stared sideways at Ghost Tan Xu, and asked hurriedly: "You suspect that this villa is haunted, is it artificial?"

"I can't be sure, it's just an intuition." Ghost Detective Xu focused on searching the surroundings, not letting go of every corner.

We went back to the second floor again, and came to the room where the figure was shaking.

Judging from the layout of the room, this should be a side sleeper, with no extra furniture except the bed and wardrobe.

I checked the closet carefully, there is no interlayer, all the clothes inside have been taken away, and it is empty.

Fatty Wang and I worked together to lift the mattress, but there was nothing underneath.

Ghost Detective Xu stood in front of the curtain, constantly twisting his body and posing in various poses.

"Do you still remember the shadow from before, how should I place it so that the shadow reflected on the curtain looks so distorted?" Ghost Detective Xu kept adjusting his posture, trying to restore the shadow he saw before.

I still remember seeing the shadows on the curtains downstairs, the projected posture was very weird, it looked a little distorted, and it was impressive.

Ghost Detective Xu tried for a long time, but he still couldn't achieve that effect. The shadow reflected on the curtain lacked the ghostly feeling.

"Fatty, you Zhumen secret arts are good at tricky things about spirit bodies, and you should check carefully to see if there is any residual ghost energy in the room." I stood by the window and ordered.

Fatty Wang formed a mudra with his hands, and silently recited a mantra, a golden light appeared on his fingertips, the size of a soybean, which flickered on and off.

"Ghost search!" Fatty Wang yelled, and the soybean-sized golden light on his fingertips floated up.

The golden light quietly suspended on the ground, and after half a minute, it gradually dimmed and finally disappeared without a trace.

"There is no ghost energy left in the room, otherwise the Evil Search Secret Technique would not be unresponsive." Fatty Wang said in an affirmative tone.

I agree with the other party's judgment in my heart, because after opening the clear eye, the general ghost aura can't escape my eyes.

If ghosts are ruled out, then the possibility of man-made rises sharply.

It's a pity that Fatty Wang and I are somewhat good at dealing with supernatural events, but when it comes to reasoning and investigating cases, our eyes are dark.

Fortunately, Ghost Detective Xu has rich experience in this area, which can be regarded as filling in one of our shortcomings.

I turned my gaze to Ghost Tan Xu, and saw him standing there in a daze, and after a while, he walked straight to this side.

He stretched out his hand to open the curtains, looked at a thick old elm tree outside the window, seemed to think of something, turned and walked out of the room.

"Old Xu, where are you going?" Fatty Wang chased after him.

I glanced at the old elm tree outside the window, it was quite ordinary, except that it was a little older, there was no other abnormality.

Worried that the two of them would encounter an accident, I stretched out my hand to close the curtain and quickly followed.

Ghost detective Xu stopped in front of a closed door and asked Fatty Wang to open the door.

This is the master bedroom. We came in once before and found nothing.

Fatty Wang said before that the owner specifically explained that if it is not necessary, try not to enter the master bedroom, so as not to mess up the things inside.

Fatty Wang took out the key and opened the master bedroom again. The furniture inside was obviously more luxurious than the guest bedroom.

There is still a photo of the owner on the wall. He is a thin middle-aged man, but he looks very energetic.

Fatty Wang introduced from the side, saying that he changed three tenants before and after, and the rent has always been relatively low. The only requirement is that the master bedroom is not rented out.

"Old Xu, you can just take a look. Don't move the things here." Fatty Wang confessed worriedly.

Ghost Detective Xu ignored Fatty Wang, walked around the room, and walked straight to the window.

My heart moved, and I followed quickly. The windows on this side are not in the same direction as the windows in the guest bedroom, but are located at the back of the house.

Ghost detective Xu stretched out his hand and opened the curtains. Outside the window was a ginkgo tree with thick branches and luxuriant leaves. There was even a thick branch extending to the window.

"Old Xu, you don't suspect that the person who is doing trouble in the dark is going in and out through this ginkgo tree?" I asked softly.

"I can't say for sure, I can't rule out this possibility." The ghost detective bowed slowly, carefully examining the window sill.

I squinted and looked at the window sill, which was covered with a layer of fine dust, but I didn't see any footprints.

Fatty Wang came over, looked at the ginkgo tree with his head, and said that the tree is thick enough, and most people really can't climb it.

I stared at the ginkgo tree, tried to put myself in another place, and found that even with my current skills, I might not be able to climb down the trunk, let alone climb up.

"Old Xu, if it were you, would you be able to climb down the tree trunk?" I asked sideways.

"I can't, but that doesn't mean others can't either. I've been involved in many cases, and some thieves are more capable than you can imagine." Ghost detective Xu Chensheng said.

I took a deep look at the ginkgo tree, remembered the location of the tree, and planned to go down for a while, and went to check the surroundings carefully to see if there were any footprints.

We searched the room and found nothing special, but Fatty Wang accidentally found a photo, which was a photo of Liu Xu and a woman.

Ghost Detective Xu reached out to take the photo, looked at it casually, and said that the woman in the photo was the mistress who committed suicide.

I leaned over curiously and looked at the woman in the photo. She is about 27 or [-] years old, she is very beautiful, well-dressed, and very temperamental. She doesn't look like a mistress.

"It's a pity, she's so pretty, why don't you find a husband to marry, why bother to be someone's mistress." Fatty Wang smacked his lips with regret.

"Does Liu Xu's mistress have a proper job?" I asked casually.

"Yes, she is a dance teacher, and the students she teaches have won first prizes in national competitions." Ghost Detective Xu said what he knew.

"It's so good that the cabbage is so good." Fatty Wang said sourly.

Hearing the word "dance", my heart skipped a beat, and Ghost Detective Xu looked at each other, and we understood each other's eyes.

The shadow on the curtain looks ghostly, most people can't pose that kind of pose, but it's different if you have a foundation in dancing.

However, this is just a guess. What is the truth? Further investigation is needed before a conclusion can be drawn.

After working hard for most of the night, it's not all fruitless. It doesn't make much sense to continue spending time here, so we discussed going back first.
