The management sent them to the 7th floor and left after that. He knew that it was inappropriate for him to be here.

Chen Wen and the young man went to knock on the door.

Gu Zhi stood with Ming Shu at the side. “Consultant Qian, shall we make a bet?”

Ming Shu glanced sideways at the exceptionally handsome man. “Bet about what?”

Gu Zhi smiled frivolously. “Let’s bet on who will catch the culprit first.”

“What is the agreement?”

“If I win, you will fulfill my conditions and vice versa.”

“Any condition is fine?”

“Yes.”

“Sure.” Ming Shu smiled. “Don’t cry when I win then.”

“Hmph.” We don’t know who is crying yet!

Thus, while Chen Wen was knocking on the door, the two people behind him made a bet with each other.

He turned back and felt that the atmosphere between them got even tenser.

What grudges do they have against each other?

“Please come in.” Hou Yazhi was at home. She opened the door and invited them in.

Hou Yazhi was a woman. She was tall and had short hair so from the video, they thought that she was a male.

When they first received the information, Chen Wen was puzzled. He wondered if they found the wrong person.

Hou Yazhi was not young but she maintained and took care of herself well. Hence, she looked younger than her age.

“Why are you all here to look for me?”

Hou Yazhi poured them water while looking at them with a curious expression.

Gu Zhi started drinking tea the moment he sat down. Ming Shu focused on eating the snacks that Hou Yazhi prepared.

The young man and Chen Wen were left to talk to the professor.

Chen Wen greeted her first before bringing up the main topic. “Do you know Lu Jiaqi?”

Hou Yazhi was stunned for a moment before sighing in sadness, “That child is a pity.”

Ming Shu glanced at Hou Yazhi.

Chen Wen asked, “Lu Jiaqi had an argument with you on 6th May at 11 PM outside Happiness City. Do you still remember?”

Hou Yazhi felt that something was amiss. “What do you mean?”

Chen Wen replied, “Professor Hou, please answer my question.”

Hou Yazhi frowned. “I did have an argument with the child... but what does that have to do with the case? Are you thinking that I killed her because I had an argument with her?”

Chen Wen consoled her. “Professor Hou, this is just a normal questioning. You don’t have to worry.”

Hou Yazhi took a deep breath and calmed down. “Yes, I had an argument with her that day. One of the teachers in our faculty celebrated his birthday on that day so he invited everyone to sing at Happiness City.”

Hou Yazhi said that she met Lu Jiaqi coincidentally. The child was always obedient so she was afraid that she got influenced by the wrong people. That was why she went up to talk to her, but Lu Jiaqi didn’t listen to her.

She had a bit of alcohol that day so she got agitated and scolded her. The quarrel happened after that.

Lu Jiaqi was murdered ten days after the argument. Hou Yazhi didn’t know what relationship these two events could have.

“Can I look around?”

Gu Zhi suddenly said.

Hou Yazhi nodded. “Sure, go ahead.”

Hou Yazhi didn’t have a partner. She lived alone.

The house was only filled with her personal belongings. There was nothing strange or special.

Ming Shu got up and walked out of the house. She squatted at the corridor and had a chat with the ghost she saw when she came up.

Chen Wen came out after a while.

Everyone took the elevator down together.

Chen Wen said, “Hou Yazhi is suspicious. She hid the fact that she had an argument with Lu Jiaqi. Her brother is a doctor...”

After Chen Wen finished talking, Gu Zhi looked at Ming Shu and asked, “Consultant Qian, what have you found?”

Ming Shu replied, “Why must I tell you?”

Gu Zhi smiled. “I will anticipate your capabilities.”

“Heh heh.”

Chen Wen: ??? What are these two people talking about?

We are trying to solve a case here!

Can you two be more serious?

Gu Zhi left with the young man. He had no intention of talking to Chen Wen.

Chen Wen asked Ming Shu after a while, “Is he looking down on us?”

Ming Shu took herself out of the equation. “He is just looking down on you.”

Chen Wen: “...”

Chen Wen felt depressed for a while. “Do you find Hou Yazhi suspicious?”

“She is not the culprit.”

Chen Wen widened his eyes. “How do you know?”

Ming Shu said slowly, “Buy me a box of chocolates and I will tell you.”

Chen Wen: “...”

Ming Shu got her chocolates. She opened her chocolates while saying, “She didn’t have the time to murder Lu Jiaqi on the 16th of May. She didn’t tell us about her argument with Lu Jiaqi because she didn’t want to create trouble for herself. If she told you all this, you would investigate what she did on the 16th of May.”

Chen Wen was curious. “What did she do on that day?”

Why couldn’t she let the police know?

Ming Shu replied, “That has nothing to do with the case. You don’t have to know. However, if you buy another box of chocolates for me, I can tell you.”

Chen Wen was speechless.

The owner of the shop looked at the two people squatting beside the shelves and wondered what they were doing.

Chen Wen bought another box of chocolates for Ming Shu. Ming Shu told him what the ghost told her.

“This is her private affair. You must not tell anyone about it,” Ming Shu added on.

Hou Yazhi was a professor. She would be in trouble if people knew that she got together with her student.

She might even lose her job.

“Do I look like that kind of person?” Chen Wen rolled his eyes. He leaned toward Ming Shu and whispered, “Can you really see ghosts?”

“Yes. There is one behind you.”

Chen Wen shivered and turned his head.

There was no ghost.

There was just the boss of the shop.

The boss had his hand on his hips and was looking at them fiercely.

Chen Wen: “...”

Chen Wen didn’t believe that Ming Shu could see ghosts, but the information that she gave came from ambiguous sources. He started to wonder if she really could see ghosts.

Chen Wen frowned and said, “If Hou Yazhi is not the culprit, we’ve lost the lead again...”

He wondered if Gu Zhi found anything.

“Not exactly.”

“What?”

“How did you manage to achieve this position? Did you just market the cases that were solved?”

“...” What is she saying? Market the cases that they solve? Is she saying that I was not the one who solved those cases?

This case was a hard one.

Even the province bureau sent people to investigate it.

Why did it become a lack of his ability?

“What are you treating me tonight?” Ming Shu suddenly asked.

“Why must I treat you?”

“The information that I will tell you depends on what you treat me.” Ming Shu smiled confidently.

“...”

Chen Wen spent a huge fortune this time and treated Ming Shu to a good meal. After that, he brought Ming Shu back to her office.

Ming Shu had been out for the past two days so when she came back, she realized that someone had written the words “Swindler cheating money” with red paint on her door.

“You got into trouble?” Chen Wen couldn’t help but ask.

Her business was just a small business. Not many people would look for her.

Ming Shu opened the door calmly. “If there is no trouble in your life, how can it be exciting?”

Chen Wen twitched his mouth.

What kind of logic is that?

There were not many changes in the office. Chen Wei could tell that she never tidied this place up.

The only thing that changed was the blackboard on the wall. When he came the last time, a photo of a woman was stuck on the board along with a map.

This time, the board was empty.
