The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

"I can only locate that monk." The youth finally remembered that he hadn't brought his shikigami along with him, and he rather roughly stuffed these fellows back into his own jacket.
Jing Zifeng was very quiet. He had only recently come out from training in the mountain and wasn't able to communicate well with others. He was still wondering if the other party couldn't understand his words.
But he didn't have to worry after Helian Weiwei asked in return, "In other words, besides Master Wufan, nobody else has died. The murderer didn't kill the person who was dragged away."
"Uh huh." Jing Zifeng nodded, and then looked towards Baili Jiajue without concealing his hostility.
Helian Weiwei naturally also noticed the youth's gaze, and smiled faintly as she said, "Don't worry, he won't kill anyone in front of me."
"What is he?" Jing Zifeng was somewhat annoyed that he couldn't see through the other party's true identity.
Helian Weiwei didn't say anything. She could see that this youth was pretty formidable, but she didn't want a certain highness to make another enemy. Even though she got along well with this young boy, as an overbearing CEO, it was more important to protect her significant other!
"I can't say." Helian Weiwei's tone was very indifferent.
The fourteen-year-old Jing Zifeng frowned. "Why?" He thought that they were at a point where they could tell each other things. This was the first time he actually wanted to make friends with the people outside of the mountain.
"Because I'm an overbearing CEO." Helian Weiwei very coolly threw a reason to the youth.
Jing Zifeng very much wanted to pull Helian Weiwei back and ask her how these two things were related!
Was she bullying him for just coming down from the mountains and not knowing the rules around here? He was certain that all overbearing CEOs were men!
However, the youth didn't continue asking Helian Weiwei about this.
Because he had a faster way of finding out.
"All of you, come out." After the youth walked into the villa, he began to shake his clothes.
The paper shikigami poked their little heads out.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=11046205305246905)/his-highness-teases-helian-weiwei_%!d(string=51236975130238546) for visiting.
The youth lowered his eyes. "What is that man?" These shikigami had been given to him by his master. They had been by his side for thousands of years, so it was impossible for them not to know exactly what Baili Jiajue was.
But the strange thing was that these shikigami began to look at each other, and then they began to shrink back. They were just going to play dead!
Jing Zifeng began to shake his clothes again, but this time, no matter how hard he tried, the little paper men didn't want to come out. Even when he threatened to soak them in the rain, they only trembled for a moment and didn't say anything else.
The youth frowned. What was going on?
Chapter 1109 - 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."
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.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, b

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.
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.
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?"
Chapter 1110 - Weiwei Was Not Trusted
"Because... because... " Master Zhang clenched his fists tightly. He opened his mouth twice but did not say a word because he honestly wasn't sure. He did know some fengshui, and he had bought some books and taught himself. He was surprised that he had managed to deceive many wealthy businessmen all these years and made them believe him. He eventually became famous in the industry, but he actually barely knew anything about it. How could he possibly know this?
At this point, the few university students could see that Master Zhang was panicking.
Xiaoqing refused to give up and grabbed his arm. "Master Zhang, quickly tell this woman that you know!"
But even after waiting for a long time, Master Zhang did not say anything.
The truth could not be more obvious.
Xiaoqing let go of him, and she looked a little dejected.
Even if Master Zhang tried to explain it away now, it was useless. He simply didn't have any real talent.
Helian Weiwei walked over and picked up the wind chime before casually throwing it into the trash can. "It's because a wind chime gathers Yin energy, so it's an object that attracts ghosts. If you hang it here, it will only make the atmosphere of the villa become extremely messy and difficult to differentiate."
"I didn't make a move, so all of you might not believe in my ability, but you should all have seen Jing Zifeng's ability. Since he said that it was a human who committed this murder, then that must be the case. Moreover, he has the ability to locate corpses. Right now, there's only one corpse here, and that's Master Wufan. In other words, the person who was dragged away isn't dead."
"You're saying that Young Mistress is still safe now?" Auntie Zhang's eyes immediately lit up.
Helian Weiwei acknowledged her question, "That seems to be the case now."
"Then who cut the wires from the outside and deliberately wore Wu Taotao's clothes to hide Tongtong?" Yuan Wu's eyes were red and his fists fiercely punched the table.
Helian Weiwei's eyes were shining. "No, he didn't just want to hide Miss Song, but he didn't have time to kill, because there are two special forces soldiers here that he has to worry about."
"Miss Helian is saying that there is another person hiding outside the villa that we don't know about?" Old Master Song had clearly heard the discussion in the hall, and walked over with his walking stick.
But to his surprise, Helian Weiwei actually shook her head. "No, I have always thought that the murderer is among us."
"Are you crazy?!" Xiaoqing was really about to collapse from Helian Weiwei's words. "We are all in the villa and have never gone out. How are we going to pull the power switch and then go through the hall to the third floor after pulling the power switch? Before we drag Tongtong down from the third floor, we would have been discovered! Are you seriously lacking in common sense?! It's really getting more and more ridiculous each time. Just now, Deputy Liang said the murderer disappeared in the blink of an eye. Who could be faster than a special forces soldier, unless she was not human at all? Everyone knows this. Do you think we're still elementary school students? You think we'll believe your bullshit?"
"I believe her words." Jing Zifeng cut her off. Thanks to a yummy plate of meatballs, he remained standing on Helian Weiwei's side of the room. "The murderer is among us."
Xiaoqing looked at Jing Zifeng less angrily because he had really proven himself to be someone with supernatural powers. She wasn't going to go against him so unreasonably.
"Seriously, tsk, I really don't know what to say." Xiaoqing angrily sat back on the chair.
Since it was so noisy here, Helian Weiwei calmly said to Old Master Song, "I need to go upstairs and take a look."
Old Master Song sided with Xiaoqing's analysis. Compared to what Helian Weiwei said, he thought that the possibility of someone being outside the villa was greater. However, he didn't stop Helian Weiwei, and just said to Auntie Zhang, "Follow Miss Helian up. Whichever room she wants to see, open the door for her."
"Yes, Old Master Song." Auntie Zhang only thought that as long as her Young Mistress wasn't dead, then everything would turn around.
No one knew what Helian Weiwei was thinking. In fact, even the university students didn't quite believe her deduction.
It seemed simply too ridiculous.
It didn't seem possible in terms of the time taken.
The murderer must have come from outside.
Old Master Song was also deep in thought. After a while, he spoke again, "You guys go outside and search again. See if there are any suspicious people nearby."
"Yes." Deputy Liang accepted the order. He gave a crisp salute and rushed into the night again.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=11046205305246905)/weiwei-was-not-trusted_%!d(string=51236977277722245) for visiting.
Old Master Song's eyes landed on Master Zhang, who wished he could curl his head into a ball right now. "Remove all these messy yellow talismans. From now on, everyone should not leave the hall."
The candlelight on the dining table was still swaying and hitting everyone's faces, illuminating their fl.u.s.tered and uneasy expressions.
Auntie Zhang walked in front of Helian Weiwei and held a candle to light the way. "Miss Helian, which room do you want to see?"
"Miss Song was the most recent victim, so th
ere should be clues left behind in her room." Helian Weiwei was also thinking about the problem of time.
When Auntie Zhang heard her say this, she immediately opened the door for her. "You can look around as much as you like. As long as you can get Young Mistress back!"
The moment Helian Weiwei entered the room, she felt a dampness in the air, as if the room hadn't seen sunlight in years. It was probably because Song Tongtong did not go out often, plus it was raining outside.
The electricity was not switched on, so the room was dark.
Helian Weiwei walked in and deliberately took a look at the floor. There weren't any water stains on it.
Several sets of plastic surgery magazines were scattered on the bed. There were many cosmetics and many jewelry boxes on the dressing table. Basically, it could be seen that the owner of the house was a very materialistic girl.
"This is...?" Helian Weiwei's phone flashlight hit the wall on the other side. "Miss Li Ya's photo?"
Auntie Zhang nodded. "That's right, it's that divination master. Young Mistress likes her very much. Not only does she always watch her live broadcast when she goes online, she even buys the clothes that Miss Li Ya wears. She thinks that anything Miss Li Ya wears looks good, and really idolizes her very much."
A fan? Helian Weiwei moved the light from her phone away and looked out of the window. The view here was very good. She could almost see the entire courtyard.
She stood there as if she was thinking about something and was probably calculating the route. However, no matter how much she calculated, the timing of the crime didn't seem to add up.
Helian Weiwei retracted her gaze and picked up the magazine on the bed. "Miss Song also underwent plastic surgery?"
Auntie Zhang sighed. "In the past, Young Mistress was never like this. But later, for some reason, she became very infatuated with these things. She was already so pretty to begin with."
Helian Weiwei had seen Song Tongtong's photo before. It was indeed a pretty face. Although it wasn't a small, pointy face, it had delicate features and was very elegant, so she looked a lot like those sweet looking celebrities from her parents' generation.
