Chapter 110: with translation of chapter title

110 "What are you provoking him for?"

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and Zhang Xuefeng had already reported the situation to Song Guogang.

Breaking the law is breaking the law; no matter what your reason, their duty as police is to solve cases and catch criminals.

Jiang Wu and Zou Xiuling are both suspected of intentional homicide, so they were handcuffed and taken away.

After the police cars left, only Tushan Jiu and Jiang Zhiyi remained at the factory gate.

Tushan Jiu said to Jiang Zhiyi, "The dress is very beautiful."

Jiang Zhiyi smiled, "Yeah, I was wearing work clothes when I died; this dress was burned for me later by my mother. I like white, it's clean."

After a moment of silence, she sighed and muttered, "It's a pity this damned world isn't clean."

Tushan Jiu didn't express an opinion, because what she said was also correct.

Once the mark was placed and the ghost gate opened, Jiang Zhiyi was about to go down.

However, just as she reached the ghost gate, she suddenly turned back and told Tushan Jiu something.

By the way, Tushan Grandmaster, can ordinary people also have the Technique (or Term)?

Tushan Jiu tilted her head, "Why are you asking that?"

Jiang Zhiyi: "When I climbed up, I happened to be in a mental hospital, and I met a man who seemed able to see me."

At first she thought she had unfortunately encountered someone from the Mysterious Gate as soon as she came up, but later she realized it wasn't the case, because the person seemed to be wearing a patient uniform and looked like a mental patient.

Tushan Jiu explained it to her.

The Technique (or Term) is divided into innate and acquired types; for some people, the orifice may be struck by external force later in life, accidentally opening, allowing them to see things ordinary people cannot.

Jiang Zhiyi gained knowledge, nodded, indicating she understood.

By the way, Tushan Grandmaster, the incense produced by the incense factory next door is really smelly; can I file a complaint? The incense my mother burned for me last time came from there, and it made me vomit from the smell.

Tushan Jiu blinked her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm just a temporary staff member at the office; I'm not sure which department handles this, but I've received your complaint and will ask about it later."

But she felt this should fall under the jurisdiction of the yang realm's office; otherwise, even if the complaint went to the underworld, they'd likely feedback to them to handle.

Just like the counterfeit spirit money case that caused a sensation in both yin and yang realms a few years ago.

In any case, the boss of that counterfeit spirit money operation ended up with no good outcome in either the yang or yin realm.

However, her saying that reminded her: the boss of the funeral shop where Qingyi works probably got the goods from this factory's sales staff.

Then karmic retribution is probably coming soon.

After hearing Tushan Jiu's words, Jiang Zhiyi entered the ghost gate, which then automatically closed.

Just as the ghost gate closed, several screeching brakes came from the roadside.

There were sedans, SUVs, electric vehicles, bicycles—basically everything.

A group of people rushed out from the vehicles.

"Where's the ghost? Where's the ghost?"

"Huh? The killing aura disappeared—did the ghost run away?"

"Hey? Isn't that the debt-collecting person? I almost twisted the throttle off, but I wasn't even the first!"

"No, we got the news and rushed over, but twenty-five minutes—this was resolved so quickly? That debt-collector's work capability is impressive; I caught that ghost this morning and it led me half a Nan Cheng around!"

Tushan Jiu listened to their discussion and thought, "You guys come up with magical tools and chase them, but if you don't resolve their obsessions, how could they not run?"

Suddenly, she felt a distinct gaze.

She looked in that direction.

She discovered it was a black sedan parked at the roadside.

The car's rear window was lowered.

And sitting inside was none other than Xiang Yichu.

After making eye contact for two seconds, Xiang Yichu gave her a fist salute, then closed the window, didn't get out, and the car drove off directly.

Tushan Jiu thought, "It seems he also received the news, which is why he came over."

She knew it was Zhang Xuefeng and the others who had notified her in advance; otherwise, given the distance from the old manor, she definitely wouldn't have been the first to arrive.

She withdrew her gaze, Tushan Jiu turned and walked toward the apartment's parking lot.

After getting in the car, Tushan Jiu didn't immediately return to the old manor, but instead took a detour to a nearby residential complex and began her second job of the night.

One hour later, the third.

After another hour or so, the fourth.

Anyway, that night she didn't return to the old manor until the sun was about to rise.

This really is a case of hiding by day and moving at night.

Arriving at the old manor, Tushan Jiu had stayed up all night and was very sleepy.

As soon as she entered the house, she bumped headfirst into Xie Shiyu's body.

Seeing her so exhausted, Xie Shiyu felt terrible pity.

He didn't even mind that there were still servants in the living room; he bent over, picked her up, and walked toward the sofa.

As he walked, he called out to the butler, "Uncle Wu, have the kitchen prepare breakfast early, quickly."

Startled by his sudden embrace, Tushan Jiu hurriedly clung to his neck, saying, "I want to go sleep."

Xie Shiyu put her on the sofa, had her wait, lowered his head and kissed her lips, saying, "Be good, eat breakfast before sleeping, otherwise sleeping on an empty stomach will upset your stomach."

Tushan Jiu felt it; her stomach indeed felt empty and uncomfortable.

He told her to be good, so she unwrapped a lollipop and put it in her mouth, forcing herself to eat breakfast before going upstairs to wash up and sleep.

However, Xie Shiyu also said not to eat too full, just seven-tenths full before sleeping.

Tushan Jiu obeyed and did as told; indeed, she slept very soundly.

Before going to the company, Xie Shiyu again instructed Butler Wu, telling the kitchen to always be ready; if Tushan Jiu woke up, they should immediately make her something to eat, so she wouldn't go hungry.

Who would have thought—she never even got to use it, Tushan Jiu slept straight through until he came back from work before waking.

I thought I could stay with her a while, but just after finishing dinner, Tushan Jiu went out again.

Just like yesterday, he put the person in the car, then watched the taillights disappear into the courtyard before preparing to go back inside.

History is always strikingly similar.

Another person who had just come back from school appeared beside Xie Shiyu.

Xie Jingzhou propped his chin on one hand and asked, "Big brother, why are you acting like a wife-watching stone?"

Xie Shiyu: "......"

His fiancée wasn't around, so he wasn't very happy, and thus his temper wasn't great either.

Thus, just as he had rebuked Xie Jingting yesterday, today Xie Jingzhou received the same treatment.

He said, "At least I have your sister-in-law to look at; what do you have? Experimental data?"

After saying that, he stepped into the house.

Xie Jingting, who had come up behind, laughed loudly, "Why did you provoke him?"

Xie Jingzhou glanced at Xie Jingting and said, "You have something red behind you..."

"Ah!" Xie Jingting darted into the house, as if being chased by a ghost.

He can't stand hearing the word 'red' now.

Xie Jingzhou gave a soft chuckle and murmured, "Hah, why did you provoke me?"
