Chapter 938: The Detective Who Could See Ghosts (18)
By the time Gu Zhi finished his meeting, it was late at night .
He opened the door of his office and saw the girl collapsed in the chair with her head on the table . The light in the room was on . She was asleep .
Gu Zhi gently closed the door and walked to Ming Shu’s side . He bent down and picked her up .
Ming Shu opened her eyes and then closed them again .
Gu Zhi smiled . He carried her to the resting area inside his room .
Gu Zhi placed her on the bed and turned to take the case files . Then he changed his clothes and climbed into the bed .
The bed in the resting area was small . Gu Zhi needed to hug Ming Shu in order to fit into the bed .
Gu Zhi flipped through the files absentmindedly . He turned off the lights after a while .
It was so comfortable to hug his wife .
In the dark, Gu Zhi found Ming Shu’s cheek and kissed her . He was still not satisfied so her felt for her lips .
Ming Shu woke up . She raised her leg and kicked Gu Zhi .
Gu Zhi was caught off guard so he fell on the floor with a loud boom .
Gu Zhi let out a gasp . “Are you trying to kill me?”
Ming Shu took up the whole bed .
Gu Zhi’s mouth corners twitched . He climbed into bed . “I won’t kiss you anymore . I will just hug you to sleep . ”
After coaxing Ming Shu for a long time, he obediently hugged his wife to sleep . He didn’t dare to do anything else .
Maybe it was because it was already late at night, Gu Zhi fell asleep really quickly .
In the mayor’s house…
The main hall had turned into a mourning hall . The portrait of the mayor’s wife was placed in the middle .
Right after the funeral of the mayor’s son, he had to organize another one for his wife . There was not even time for him to remove the funeral items in the main hall . The atmosphere in the villa was heavy .
Ming Shu didn’t expect Chen Wen to be there .
“Why are you here? Why are you dressed like this? Are you trying to go undercover?”
Chen Wen was wearing the servant uniform . He stood behind the crowd and greeted the people that came to mourn .
When Ming Shu suddenly appeared, he got a shock .
Chen Wen quickly looked around him . He saw that no one noticed them . He dragged Ming Shu into a corner . “I should be the one asking you . Why are you here?”
“I am here for a case,” Ming Shu replied naturally .
“Case? Who asked you to come?” The case was very sensitive so they would not invite other people to help them so easily .
Ming Shu pointed at the entrance with her chin .
Gu Zhi was talking to a man .
“Chief Gu?”
This case was transferred to the province bureau a long time ago .
After the last case ended, Gu Zhi went back to the province bureau so it was understandable that he was put in charge of this case .
What was unreasonable was…
Why are the two of them together?
Aren’t they supposed to be mortal enemies?
Ming Shu was curious . “Why are you undercover here?”
Chen Wen’s face turned black . He felt that she was mocking him when she said the word “undercover . ”
Was it my imagination?
“To protect the mayor . ”
The mayor’s son and wife both died in the house . For the murderer to kill his victims at the mayor’s house, he must be a lunatic .
They were at the mayor’s wife’s funeral now so they must protect the mayor .
There was not enough manpower in the province bureau so the people from the city bureau were transferred over to help .
Ming Shu said with an honest face, “The murderer is so impressive . If they really wanted to kill the mayor, you couldn’t stop them . ”

I don’t want to talk to her .
Everything she says will hurt people .
Chen Wen saw someone coming over and instantly put distance between them . “You can see ghosts, right? Go and take a look inside and see if you can see the mayor’s wife . Ask her who killed her . ”
Ming Shu: “…”
You think that anyone can become a ghost?
If that was really the case, the unseen world would be packed with ghosts .
Ming Shu walked into the villa . Gu Zhi was talking to the mayor so he didn’t have the time to look after her . Ming Shu managed to walk around the entire villa in a short period of time .
The villa was very clean .
There was no ghost at all .
How could she solve the case if there was no ghost?
I don’t want to waste my energy to look for evidence…
“Be careful . There are a lot of guests today . Don’t create trouble for the guests . ”
A young lady walked towards her while ordering the servants beside her .
The servants nodded their heads to acknowledge the lady .
“You…” The lady saw Ming Shu and stopped in her tracks . She asked curiously, “Miss, why are you here?”
“I got lost . ”
Ming Shu kept a straight face while lying .
The woman was puzzled . The villa was not big . There was sad music playing in front . How could she get lost?
“Let me take you to the main hall then . ” The lady didn’t probe further . She gave a forced smile and signaled for Ming Shu to follow her .
Ming Shu didn’t object and followed the lady to the main hall .
The lady was the wife of the mayor’s son . They were married for less than a year .
“Ou…”

Halfway though, the lady started covering her mouth and retched . The servants immediately went up to her .
The lady took a while to recover . She said apologetically to Ming Shu, “I’m sorry about this . ”
Ming Shu stared at her stomach . “You’re pregnant?”
The lady didn’t deny it . She nodded . Her expression was lonely and depressed .
Her husband died the moment she was pregnant .
The servants beside her looked at her with pity .
The lady regained her composure and continued escorting Ming Shu to the main hall . The mayor was standing with Gu Zhi .
“Father . ”
“Why are you not resting in your room?” the mayor said with a serious face .
The lady replied, “This lady was lost . I brought her here . ”
The mayor looked at Ming Shu sharply .
Gu Zhi dragged her to his side . “This is the consultant that the province bureau invited . She is one of us . Please do not worry . ”
The mayor sized up Ming Shu . He must have thought that she looked too young .
The mayor looked at Gu Zhi who was young too . He nodded his head and went to talk to the lady .
Gu Zhi pulled Ming Shu to the side . He didn’t let go of her hand . “Where did you go?”
“I went to take a look around . ”
Gu Zhi didn’t blame her . “Did you notice anything?”
“Nope . ” There was not a single ghost in this huge villa .
There were no ghosts around the villa too .
This was strange .
“A lot of people came today . You will stay by my side later and not run away on your own . ” Gu Zhi reminded her, “If you find anything, tell me first . Don’t go and investigate it alone . I will be worried . Do you understand?”
“Are you afraid that I will steal your fame?”

Gu Zhi’s mouth corners twitched . “Am I that kind of person in your eyes?”
Ming Shu smiled . “You cannot judge a book by its cover . Who knows what you’re thinking in your heart?”
If they were in another place, Gu Zhi would kiss Ming Shu to shut her up .
Why is she so irritating?
Gu Zhi hit Ming Shu’s head and whispered into Ming Shu’s ear .
“I am only thinking about you . ”
He turned and walked toward the crowd after he finished speaking .
Ming Shu stood there for a few seconds before following him .
The mayor greeted the people who came to the funeral . Ming Shu and Gu Zhi stood beside him .
Ming Shu looked at the people walking around .
I want to eat .
When is this ending?
So hungry .
The mayor had to thank a bunch of hypocrites that came to console him . Is he not tired?
Why can’t they be more transparent?
When can I eat…
Gu Zhi felt Ming Shu leaning against him . He glanced sideways . She was looking down and thinking about something . Gu Zhi felt that she was depressed .
He glanced at the time . It was almost noon .
Was she hungry?
Gu Zhi’s heart hurt for her .
There were fewer people now so Gu Zhi lowered his voice and spoke to the mayor . Then, he whispered to Ming Shu, “Shall I take you out to have a meal?”
Ming Shu raised her head . Her eyes glittered .
Gu Zhi controlled the urges in his heart and left the main hall with her .
