Chapter 442 The Female Ghost Cries Out for Justice
The housekeeper was very satisfied with Su Xiaoxiao's response.

Su Xiaoxiao was ready to start work. When it was late at night, she would sit on the futon in front of the coffin until everyone had fallen asleep.

She finally stood up from the prayer mat, stretched her stiff limbs, then looked at the three lit oil lamps, sighed, and said, "How can there be ghosts in this world? If there were, the earth would explode, with so many innocent souls dying every day. Isn't the earth big enough to hold them all?"

Su Xiaoxiao really didn't believe in ghosts; she wanted to see what the wronged ghost looked like. But in the dead of night, when all was quiet, there was no sound around. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow, making the white sails in front of her rustle, then creating small whirlwinds on the ground. Why did this place feel so eerie?

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao wondered if she had made a mistake by showing off so much.
But Su Xiaoxiao couldn't care less about that now. She kept chanting Amitabha Buddha, thinking that with Buddha in her heart, ghosts and gods would disappear.

"What demons and monsters? Just walk by and get out of my way! Don't be surprised if you find it strange. This is the first time I've done something like this," Su Xiaoxiao muttered to herself. But in the end, she chose to believe that she still had the courage to come and help Qian Musheng recant her testimony.

She boldly walked towards the corpse, as if the coffin was beckoning her. At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao's body was truly out of control, and she directly touched the coffin. This was the first time she had ever done this. She slowly walked up to the coffin, lifted the curtain, and finally saw the dark coffin inside.

Her hands began to tremble; this was the first time she had ever done this. She had heard from others that the young lady who had been unjustly killed was quite pretty, and it was such a pity that she died so young. With this curiosity, Su Xiaoxiao finally reached for the coffin lid, only to find that it was not properly closed.

Instead, it was tilted at an angle, revealing a large corner of the coffin. This was the first time Su Xiaoxiao had ever seen a dark coffin containing the body of an ancient woman who had died unjustly.

However, in order to exonerate Qian Musheng, Su Xiaoxiao will still go without hesitation to investigate the clues.

She had just reached the coffin when she was startled by a mournful cry and froze. Su Xiaoxiao was filled with terror. In the middle of the night, in such an environment, what could be the reason? Who was crying here?
Hearing what sounded like the voice coming from inside a coffin, Su Xiaoxiao panicked even more, her heart pounding in her chest.

Although she didn't believe in ghosts or gods, there was no one around. If something really happened, how would she get out of here?

Su Xiaoxiao was a little scared and began to look around at the surroundings, but for the first time she felt a little curious. She wondered whether she should continue or back out and run away.

Just as she was thinking, a strange wind suddenly came, causing the curtains to flutter. Meanwhile, the three oil lamps that Su Xiaoxiao was looking at were now flickering. What was going on?

She knew that the three oil lamps she was watching couldn't be extinguished, so she turned around to tend to them. Just as she turned, a cold wind whistled behind her, and a plaintive voice came from behind.

"I'm so innocent! Auntie, if you hear me, please tell my mother that I died unjustly!"

Su Xiaoxiao was so frightened that her back was covered in cold sweat. She knew that the voice behind her was coming from the coffin. What else could it be but a ghost?
Although Su Xiaoxiao was startled, it only lasted a second. She quickly recovered and this time she was no longer afraid. Instead, she immediately turned around to see what was going on. This way, she would at least have a general idea of ​​what was happening, and she wouldn't care what the person in front of her was like.

When Su Xiaoxiao turned around, she saw the woman in white sitting on the coffin. She looked pitiful, her eyes red and her face deathly pale. Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao wasn't frightened at all; instead, she asked with great concern, "You must be the young lady of this house? I'm the new old woman who keeps watch for you. I heard you died unjustly, which is why your soul can't leave. Is that true?"

"I?"

The female ghost sitting on the coffin lid clearly didn't expect that she would be ignored like this, with no one afraid of her being a female ghost.

"I did die unjustly, but can you help me find the murderer who killed me?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "Even if I can't find it for you, I can still tell the case officers what you've said!"

"Really? Okay then!" Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on the female ghost's pale face.

"I was killed by that despicable man!"

"What man?"

Su Xiaoxiao pressed on, "Was it the man who was taken away?"

"No, he was framed. Before he came in, there was a young man, whose appearance I couldn't tell, who killed me. Then he carried this scapegoat into my room, put him on my bed, and made it look like he killed me."

Although it was quite surprising to hear this, after she finished speaking, seeing the same joyful expression on Su Xiaoxiao's face, it seemed as if she was saying, "This is the answer I wanted to know. It turns out that Qian Musheng was indeed wronged. Obviously, when he came in, he was drugged and thrown into the crime scene to take the blame."

After the woman finished speaking, she disappeared, and the three oil lamps on the table no longer became dim.

Su Xiaoxiao was sitting on the futon when she was woken up by Granny Wang next to her.

"Hey sis, wake up! It's already daylight!"

Su Xiaoxiao then realized that she had fallen asleep. If she was asleep, was the woman she had just seen still real?
When Su Xiaoxiao woke up, she saw that one corner of the coffin had been moved a crack. She followed the person over and said that it was to put more preservative spices around their young lady's body.

While scolding Su Xiaoxiao for falling asleep during the night watch, Granny Wang was also puzzled. Logically speaking, older people usually have trouble sleeping at night, but this young lady looked to be about the same age as her, so how could she be sleeping so soundly?
