After getting off work, I went back to the villa to pack some things and get some food. It was already half past seven, so Dongzi and I drove to look for it according to the detailed address left by Du Xuan.
During the meal, Lu Xiaohong asked casually if he wanted to accompany me. I said no, so he didn't say anything more.
In terms of Yuanqi Pavilion's business, unless I took the initiative to ask Lu Xiaohong to help me, he never interfered because of his high moral character and showed enough trust in me. This made me less vain.
The little one was very satisfied and even felt very cozy.
Du Xuan's home is in Shengjia Garden Community, 2806, Floor 28, Building A.
Shengjia Garden is a famous luxury community in Jiangzhou. Although it is not a villa, the unit area is large and the structure is reasonable enough in terms of Feng Shui.
There are four households on the first floor, and the room numbers are not No. 3 and 4, probably because of the bad homophony, but only No. 1, 2, 5, and 6.
In fact, numbers are not so particular. Since ancient times, there have been sayings that the three Yangs will bring prosperity and the four seasons will bring wealth. Combining each person's different birth dates and fortunes, there are different lucky numbers, but the relationship is not big. It depends more on what you like.
, for example, I actually prefer the number 4.
Standing at the door of 2806, Du Xuan opened the door from the inside after knocking twice.
"Master Hu, are you here?" Du Xuan looked enthusiastic.
Du Xuan always called me Master, not Mr. Hu or my name directly, which made me a little embarrassed.
"I'm not old, so just call me by my name 'Hu Ling'."
I nodded and said, reaching for two pairs of shoe covers from the shoe cabinet in the entrance, and handed a pair to Dongzi behind me.
"Oh, you are so polite, just come in like this, you don't have to wear this." Du Xuan smiled politely.
I didn't say anything, put on my shoe covers silently, and followed Du Xuan into her house.
The house has a duplex structure. On one side of the entrance is the bathroom, and on the other side is the living room and dining room. There is also a door on the side of the dining room, which should be the kitchen.
There are five steps between the living room and the dining room. There is a corridor up the steps. There are doors on both sides of the corridor, which should be the master's bedroom and work area.
The living room is large, clean and tidy, in European palace style and looks very luxurious.
I don’t know if it’s because this place is relatively close to the river, but there is a slight humidity in the room.
The moisture is mixed with the vague and absent Yin Qi and evil spirits.
I felt keenly that these yin and evil spirits were a bit strange. The moisture in the room seemed to be suppressing these yin and evil spirits.
I haven't checked into Xiao Xi's room yet, so I'm not sure whether the yin and evil aura comes from Xiao Xi's ghost.
The fruit plate on the coffee table is filled with washed high-end fruits, which shows that the owner has shown enough respect for Dongzi and I's arrival.
Her respect for us also shows how deeply she cares about finding her daughter.
"Then I'm not polite, I'll call you Hu Ling!" Du Xuan rubbed her hands a little nervously and said: "Hu Ling, you guys sit down for a while and eat some fruit first, and then come to my place late at night, you're a little tired, right?
?”
"It's okay, that's what we do!" I looked up at the time on the clock on the TV wall, it was exactly eight o'clock.
After looking around the room, I turned to Du Xuan and said, "Take us to Xiao Xi's bedroom first, and I'll see if I can get any clues."
Du Xuan nodded repeatedly, "Okay, come with me. This is Xiao Xi's bedroom."
With that said, Du Xuan led us up the five steps and into the corridor.
There are a total of five rooms in the corridor, with two doors on each side facing each other, and another door at the end of the corridor.
Du Xuan stopped at the end of the corridor and pointed to a doorway at the end facing the living room; "This is my bedroom."
Then he reached out and pushed open a door on the left and said: "This is Xiao Xi's bedroom. I was a little tired that night and slept a little deeper, so I didn't hear anything. So when did Xiao Xi disappear?
Not sure either."
I nodded without saying anything and followed Du Xuan into Xiao Xi's bedroom, Dongzi following behind me.
Xiaoxi's bedroom is decorated in a pink princess style, with pink curtains and bedding. The European-style carved wardrobe, desk and bed are all cream white, and the walls and curtains are light pink purple.
There are a few comic books, some books and a pink school bag scattered on the desk.
The quilt on the bed was neatly folded, and a pink lace pajamas was placed on it.
There was no obvious gloom in the room.
This may be related to the fact that after the child died, he was taken directly to the crematorium without entering the house.
Many crematoriums will do some special processing for the corpses that no family members care about or those who died suddenly and cannot be cremated immediately to calm the souls of the deceased to prevent those resentful souls from turning into ghosts and causing unnecessary panic among the crematorium employees.
Of course, they were doing all this in secret, and I only found out about it after dealing with the Xiaoxi and Daxi incident this time.
"Look, I didn't take away Xiaoxi's schoolbag, nor any of her favorite clothes, so she definitely couldn't have run away from home!"
Du Xuan said, pointing to the schoolbag on the desk, and opened the closet to show me.
There is a cabinet full of clothes, mostly in pink, pink and white, and pink and purple. There is also a blue and white school uniform.
"Why do you think it was Daxi's soul that took Xiaoxi away?"
After looking around Xiaoxi's room, I turned to ask Du Xuan.
"Daxi's schoolbag is missing, and her clothes are also missing two sets. I was going to take them out and throw them away, but then I realized they were missing." Du Xuan said, looking at me hesitantly and asking: "How many days ago did I
I heard people say that after death, people should burn the things they like to them. If this is not done, the soul of the deceased will become resentful and turn into a ghost to seduce the soul, right?"
I glanced at Du Xuan and decided to scare her. I nodded and said, "There is such a saying."
Du Xuan visibly shrank when she saw me nodding.
I can’t explain why I want to scare her. Maybe I hate this woman who is cruel to her daughter, or maybe I subconsciously want to protect Daxi who left.
After seeing Xiao Xi's room and hearing from Du Xuan that Da Xi's schoolbag and two sets of clothes were missing, I was almost certain that it was Xiao Xi who died and it was Da Xi who ran away from home.
"Let's go to Daxi's room and have a look!" I turned around and said to Du Xuan.
"Hu Ling, it's really Da Xi's soul that came back and took Xiao Xi away, right?" Du Xuan looked at me with a sad face after hearing what I said.
"It's not certain yet, but the daughter you left is probably not dead yet!" I said to Du Xuan.
I don't like telling lies, but subconsciously I don't want Du Xuan to know that it was Xiao Xi who died and Da Xi who left, so I used a general name.
"Hu Ling, is it true? Then I'll feel more relieved. You don't know, I've been so worried that I haven't slept well for several days!" Du Xuan's face showed a bit of joy.
"Let's go, I'll take you to Daxi's room. If you find Daxi's ghost, you might as well beat her to immortality. I'll give you an extra 20,000 yuan!"
When saying this, Du Xuan gritted her teeth and showed a ferocious look on her face. This chapter has been completed!
