Chapter 1107: Slapping Master Zhang in the Face

The little shikigami felt like crying.

It’s not that they didn’t want to tell their master, but before they headed off earlier, Baili Jiajue’s gaze was way too terrifying, and his expression clearly said that if they dared to reveal his identity, he would turn them to ashes! That was worse than getting drenched in water! Turned to ashes!!

“Those little guys seem to be very afraid of you.” Helian Weiwei looked sideways at a certain highness beside her.

Baili Jiajue reached out his hand and pulled her hair behind her ear. He was very nonchalant. “Really? But I’m so friendly towards them.”

1

Helian Weiwei was speechless.

“In the future, it’s better not to use your ‘friendliness’ so casually. You might kill something.”

Hearing this, Baili Jiajue laughed softly, put Helian Weiwei’s hand on his lips and kissed it. “That depends on your performance tonight.”

“I will catch the murderer very soon.” Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows and looked very confident. “You don’t believe me?”

Baili Jiajue paused for a moment. That wasn’t the sort of performance he was referring to.

“I believe you.” He laughed again, but his gaze was rather gloomy…

Helian Weiwei chuckled twice. “Then what’s with that perfunctory tone of yours?”

Baili Jiajue liked her like this. He pulled her over and said in a respectful tone, “How would I dare to perfunctorily answer my own Master.”

Helian Weiwei knew that she couldn’t win against a certain highness. She directly leaned over, stole a kiss, and looked pleased with herself.

Originally, Baili Jiajue thought of letting his little phoenix play here for a while. Now it seemed that it was better to solve the case as soon as possible. Then he could do whatever he wanted to her…

Helian Weiwei didn’t know what His Highness was thinking about. She only thought about everything that happened today. A lot of information kept repeating in her mind. It was rather messy and complicated, so they needed to be sorted out.

Auntie Zhang saw them walk in from outside and went to get more cutlery.

But Xiaoqing pulled her back. “Auntie Zhang, some people will say anything to cheat others of their money. Letting her eat is also a waste of food.”

The pain of losing Song Tongtong made Auntie Zhang’s eyes dim. She shook her head, pushed Xiaoqing’s hand away and walked into the kitchen.

Xiao Qing really disliked Helian Weiwei.

Master Zhang also swept a rather arrogant glance at that Helian Weiwei, and then put away his peach wood sword while pretending it was heavy as he said to Xiaoqing, “The water element on this malicious spirit’s body is too powerful. We can only wait until the rain stops before we can subdue her. But don’t worry, she won’t come out to cause trouble for the time being. I’ve already set up a barrier here. As long as we don’t leave this place, no one will be in trouble.”

After hearing this, Helian Weiwei sneered in her heart. This Master Zhang wasn’t stupid. He knew that the murderer wouldn’t make a move when everyone was here.

However, those university students couldn’t figure this out. Their trust in Master Zhang had made them completely lose their ability to think, especially Xiaoqing. After hearing Master Zhang’s words, she promised, “None of us will leave this place. If we go to the bathroom again, both of us will go together.”

“That’s right.” Master Zhang adjusted his tone as he sat down at the dining table and said, “We’ve already lost Miss Song. We can’t let this malicious spirit drag anyone else away. I just finished the ritual, and I need to replenish some energy. The influence of the malicious spirit is too great, and I’m afraid the power here can’t be restored. You guys should eat something, too. That way, you’ll have the strength to last until dawn.”

“Okay.” The people who originally had no appetite immediately picked up the cutlery when they heard Master Zhang’s words.

Helian Weiwei strolled over, enlarged the picture on her phone, and handed it to Yuan Wu.

Yuan Wu’s brows immediately furrowed. “This is…?”

Xiaoqing saw what Helian Weiwei was doing and put her chopsticks on the wooden table. “Yuan Wu, don’t forget whose fault it was that Tongtong was dragged away!”

Yuan Wu glanced at Xiao Qing and ignored her. He anxiously said to Helian Weiwei, “How did this happen?”

“It’s obvious that someone cut the wires.” Helian Weiwei’s voice was very calm. She pulled out a chair and lazily sat on it.

Xiaoqing sneered, “You’re making things up again. Master Zhang said that the power was cut because of the malicious spirit. We also checked the switch and didn’t find any problems. What’s all this about cut wires?”

“That’s because we didn’t check the switch outside the villa.” Yuan Wu interrupted Xiaoqing’s words, took Helian Weiwei’s phone and let everyone take a look.

Xiaoqing’s expression changed obviously and looked as if she had been punched by someone.

Helian Weiwei glanced at her. “I don’t need to explain in detail. Everyone should be able to see the traces of the wires being cut. This is clearly done by a human. It wasn’t influenced by any malicious spirit.”

“So what if it’s like this?” Xiaoqing’s face was flushed red. “Tongtong has already been taken away and that person is Wu Taotao. We all saw it!”

Helian Weiwei picked up the teacup on the table and drank a mouthful of water. She slowly smiled and said, “Miss Xiaoqing, how badly do you want the murderer to be a ghost? If It’s a ghost, do you think you can escape? Do you really think all this setup her will really protect you?”

“What do you mean by that?” Xiaoqing stood up, so angry that her hands were shaking.

Helian Weiwei stood up and her eyes were cold and indifferent. “I don’t like people interfering with my investigation. It’s very obvious that after someone committed a murder, they deliberately pushed the blame onto the so-called ghost. As for these yellow talismans that Master Zhang has pasted, even the words on the talisman paper were printed and not handwritten. What effect can they have?”

“You! You!” Master Zhang pointed at Helian Weiwei and said angrily, “I’m warning you, don’t spout nonsense and slander my professionalism!”

“Professionalism?” Helian Weiwei sneered and said to the youth who had just entered, “Jing Zifeng, draw a yellow talisman and show Master Zhang what professionalism is.”

The youth didn’t say anything. He nodded and took out the paper. Then, he bit on his own finger and used his blood to draw symbols on the talisman. After that, this very ordinary piece of paper suddenly emitted a ray of light and flew towards the corner of the entrance. It directly stuck to the wind chime hanging on it!

“Professional.” The youth withdrew his hand and said this before sitting down beside Helian Weiwei.

1

The rest of the people were obviously dumbfounded.

Compared to this youth, Master Zhang’s ceremonious babble and talisman pasting seemed to be nothing but a show now.

Master Zhang’s expression also changed. He knew that this time, he had really run into a real master.

1

He had seen so many masters, but none of them dared to take out a piece of paper at the last minute and turn it into a talisman!

Helian Weiwei looked at him. “Master Zhang, do you want to use your professional knowledge to explain why Zifeng stuck the yellow talisman on the wind chime?”
