Chapter 1104: Everyone Has a Secret

“Something to deal with?” Helian Weiwei repeated what Master Zhang said and her eyebrows furrowed.

Master Zhang acknowledged this, “When I saw that he was not in the mood, I did not continue our conversation. After I returned to the room, I started feeling sleepy again. I had just fallen asleep when Deputy Liang knocked on the door and told us to gather.”

Everyone seemed to have an alibi, but no one could prove whether their alibi was true or not.

The female university student, Li Ya, Master Zhang…

Wait a minute, there was another person. There was still the Song family’s daughter, Song Tongtong, whom she had never met before.

Nobody could confirm where these four were when Master Wufan died.

“Let me explain my suspicions.” Helian Weiwei did not try to hide anything because the next sentence was meant for General Song. “Those that don’t have an alibi are these three here, and also your granddaughter, Miss Song.”

General Song frowned. “What does this have to do with Tongtong? She hasn’t left the house for a long time!”

“But no one can prove that she didn’t come out during that period of time, right? The servants aren’t here.” Helian Weiwei’s voice didn’t have the slightest bit of emotion.

Because of Helian Weiwei’s rationality, General Song had to admit that there was indeed such a possibility. But he still replied, “Don’t forget that Tongtong is the victim here.”

“General Song is right.” Master Zhang sneered, “Young lady, why didn’t you mention Jing Zifeng? There’s no one who can prove where he was during that period of time too, right? What a whimsical idea. Instead of suspecting the person who should be suspected, you are suspecting Miss Song.”

The cold youth who was named raised his eyes and looked at Master Zhang. “You can also list me as a suspect. It doesn’t matter.”

His voice was very nonchalant, as if he didn’t take Master Zhang’s words seriously at all.

“You heard it.” Helian Weiwei laughed lightly. The more she looked at the youth across from her, the more agreeable he seemed to her. From her point of view, this youth was the least likely to be the murderer, because if he really wanted to kill someone, then it would be too simple. He could have used his shikigami to casually kill someone without anyone noticing.

Among the few supposedly famous ghostbusters who came, only the youth was able to prove his ability. Some of the others were faking it, while others only knew some small tricks.

The person that Helian Weiwei had never suspected from the beginning to the end was Jing Zifeng.

He was truly here to catch ghosts.

As for the others, she still needed to investigate further to find out what else were they hiding.

The sky outside was getting darker and darker. It was getting close to nightfall, but the rainstorm didn’t have the slightest intention of stopping.

If it weren’t for the rain today, the special forces soldiers in the front yard might have sensed something. At least, they would have heard something.

However, the rain was heavy and torrential. and it was accompanied by the rumbling sound of thunder and rain, so it completely covered the sound of the murderer’s attack.

However, if Master Zhang wasn’t lying, then Wufan’s time of death should have been after Master Zhang left.

No signs of water were found in the deceased’s room.

In other words, the deceased walked out of the room on his own.

Why did he have to go out?

It was clearly raining heavily outside.

Helian Weiwei thought of this and suddenly paused!

Heaven Master Zhang had said that before he left, the deceased had said that someone was looking for him and that he still had matters to attend to.

Most people would assume that since he had come to the villa, he was probably waiting for a call from his company.

But because there was no signal here, only the phones within the villa were connected.

In other words, the person who asked to meet Master Wufan was in the villa!

He had used an internal phone in the villa that would not leave a call record to ask Master Wufan out, then killed him.

If that was the case, then the basic premise was that the perpetrator at least knew Master Wufan.

Moreover, there must have been a transaction between these two people that nobody else knew about.

Helian Weiwei raised her eyes and looked at the four suspects in front of her. She crossed out Master Zhang from her list of suspects, leaving only three girls.

It couldn’t be Master Zhang. The murderer should have called Master Wufan after he left.

The rest of them were hiding some secrets.

And one of these secrets could very well be evidence of murder!

The hall was in a deadlock for a moment, and unease filled everyone’s hearts.

As the owner of the villa, there was no way General Song was going to let things go on like this. “No matter what, everyone should eat something first. The road won’t be blocked forever, and there will always be a solution.” As he said that, he turned to the servant at his side and said, “Auntie Zhang, go and get some food for these children ready.”

Auntie Zhang seemed to be thinking about something and simply didn’t hear Old Master Song’s words.

“Auntie Zhang!” Deputy Liang couldn’t help but raise his voice. “General Song is talking to you!”

Auntie Zhang then snapped out of her daze and replied, “Yes, I’ll go and get some food ready.”

There was something wrong with this servant!

Helian Weiwei’s gaze immediately locked onto Auntie Zhang!

She looked at this back view that seemed filled with worries and her eyes narrowed. She stood up and said to everyone with a faint smile, “I’ll go take a look around, maybe I’ll find something. It’ll also help me catch the murderer sooner.”

General Song didn’t object, and he did believe some parts of this young lady’s deduction. “Let Xiao Liang follow you and keep you safe.”

“Thank you, General Song, but there’s no need. My assistant is very versatile and it’s very safe with him by my side.” Helian Weiwei was speaking the truth.

But no matter how one looked at Baili Jiajue, it was very difficult for anyone to believe that his hands had been stained with the blood of countless people.

Most of all, the aura he exuded was simply too elegant.

After putting on the military uniform, a certain highness had even more of an air of nobility and nobleness.

This kind of person could still be a commander, but he probably couldn’t fight, right?

The girl moved closer to Helian Weiwei’s side and said, “You’d better bring that special forces guy along. What if your boyfriend is ambushed?”

The girl thought that by saying this, Helian Weiwei would definitely be worried.

But Helian Weiwei ended up laughing merrily and her laughter tinkled beautifully. “That would be great. If the murderer is so stupid as to walk into a trap, then I won’t need to trouble myself to find this person.”

Anybody who tried a sneak attack on a certain highness didn’t seem to ever meet a good end.

It had been a long time since she last saw a certain highness beat anybody up.

Oho! She was really looking forward to it.

The girl was dumbstruck. What was going on?

“Alright, young lady, I’m going to give you a task, and this is just between two of us,” Helian Weiwei leaned over towards that very lively girl and whispered, “Help me keep a lookout for who else leaves this hall after me. Because only the person who leaves the hall can possibly be the murderer.”
