C12 (2/2)

Because the light that came from the wall just now was from Gu Yan's flashlight, and the wall that was in front of me was nowhere to be seen, replacing it was the exit of the first floor. Even the big board was looking at me with a baffled expression.

Seeing this, I finally let out a sigh of relief.

However, just as I was about to go over, Gu Yan suddenly stopped, ”Don't move, there's something behind you!”

Hearing this, the heart that I had just put down immediately rises to my throat. Furthermore, after hearing what he said, I immediately feel a chill on my back!

After that, a blurry figure slowly floated in front of me, staring at me with a pair of dead fish like gray eyes!

However, just as Gu Yan took something out of his bag to throw at me, I called out to stop him, because floating in front of me was actually Zhang Shimin's sister-in-law, Little Mei!

After listening to my explanation, a complicated look flashed across Gu Yan's eyes. However, he still placed the chamber pot in his hand back into his bag and took out a sandalwood box. After he extended his hand and gestured in the air for a while, Little Mei's mother was directly sucked into the sandalwood box.

Just in case, Gu Yan had burned the puppet. Moreover, he had spent the entire night patrolling the construction site. As for me, Big Board and I were sitting in the watchman's booth, staring blankly at the sandalwood box on the table and guarding it all night.

After a peaceful night, Gu Yan left the construction site.

From what he said, Zhang Youfu was a person of Dong Dao Arts, so he didn't need to help Zhang Shimin's sister-in-law collect her soul. Furthermore, if the opponent is unable to take out my personal items, then the technique of using the cloth puppet to harm me will also be useless.

So I didn't ask him to stay.

And there was one more thing that made me think more highly of him.

Last night, after I brought the sandalwood box to the watchtower, I took out my cell phone to check the signal. But what surprised me was that while we were chasing Guyan upstairs, my cell phone received two messages, and those messages were sent to me by Elder Miao!

The first message was very simple, ”Don't believe in Gu Yan!”

The second text said he knew we were suspicious of him, so he hid for the time being to avoid unnecessary conflict. He even told me to find Liang Family Village in Lin County to look for him, saying that as long as I could find him, I would be able to prove my innocence.

I checked the time carefully. The two messages were no more than a few minutes apart. In other words, when we were chasing after the cliff, Elder Miao was texting me somewhere. He wasn't on the site at all!

Furthermore, it was as Elder Miao had said before. This was a completely one-sided story from Gu Yan. Whether there was that mysterious figure or the origin of that puppet, all of this was left up to Gu Yan alone! Furthermore, he had deliberately said that the figure appeared to be injured. This was tantamount to aggravating Elder Miao's suspicion.

We've already begun to suspect Elder Miao, but what's his motive for doing so? Was it simply to increase Elder Miao's suspicion?

I couldn't figure out who Elder Miao and Gu Yan were trying to harm me. Thus, I could only just let the situation take its course.

After I took over the shift, I directly took the sandalwood box and headed towards Zhang Shimin's home.

When I delivered the sandalwood box to Zhang Shimin's home, Elder Zhang was so grateful to me that even Zhang Shimin was beaming with happiness. As for me, I'm naturally happy in my heart.

Just as Elder Miao had said, Zhang Shimin was indeed interested in me. As long as Elder Zhang didn't object, then wouldn't this wife of hers be a matter of time?

Grabbing the sandalwood box, Elder Zhang directly went to the room next door. Lil Mei was playing outside and Zhang Shimin and I were the only two people left in the room.

However, before I could even say a word to her, the phone call came in. It even brought me news that I could not believe!
