The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 107 Good show
"Very good, Qi Fei will be here soon." Zhong Kui said.

Sure enough, after a while, Qi Fei called: "Bao Chuchu is here."

Next, it was Aunt Liu, Xiao Sun, and Xiao Guo. Qi Fei confirmed their locations one by one. These inquiries were all single-line, and these people did not know each other's location.

However, when Xiao Wang was asked, he said that he was also patrolling at the door of Room No. 2, Shanzi.

At this time, Bao Chuchu was standing at the door of Room No. 2, Shanzi, holding the intercom and waiting for new news.

Suddenly seeing Xiao Wang appear in front of her, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Didn't you tell everyone to stay where they are? Why are you running here?"

Xiao Wang said expressionlessly: "I am here."

"Impossible, I was the only one here that night. Didn't you say you were going back?" After Bao Chuchu said this, she realized something was wrong and a trace of fear flashed across her eyes as she looked at Xiao Wang.

And Xiao Wang, the usually honest and hardworking handyman, now had a gloomy look on his face: "We were all here that day, you remembered it wrongly."

As he spoke, he walked towards Bao Chuchu step by step. Just when he was about to reach her, Qi Fei suddenly sprinted and stood in front of Bao Chuchu.

Xiao Wang suddenly stopped, his face twitching unnaturally, and then he smiled reluctantly: "Officer Qi, what's wrong?"

The one who answered him wasn't Qi Fei, but Bao Chuchu behind him. Her words couldn't conceal her surprise, but she still warily repeated the question, "Xiao Wang, didn't we just tell everyone to stay where they are? Why are you here?"

"Oh, I heard the rules wrong." Xiao Wang looked nonchalant.

"Did I hear wrongly, or was it because you were in a place that night where you couldn't tell anyone?" Zhong Kui's voice appeared behind him. "Xiao Wang, no, I should call you Teacher Wang Qiwang."

Xiao Wang stood up and turned to look at Zhong Kui: "I don't understand what you are saying."

"At 12 o'clock, most people have returned to the dormitory. You know that you returned to the dormitory a few minutes later than everyone else that night. You also know that you can't tell anyone where you were that night, so you have to make up a location. However, this location cannot be too far away. After all, you will have to return to the dormitory soon. Maybe your colleagues will not think so much, but there are police here today, and the timeline cannot be wrong. Unless, your manager Bao stands up to testify for you at this time, and she saw you here that night just like today." Zhong Kui turned around and looked at Bao Chuchu with a surprised look on her face, "Of course, it can also be that she was suddenly killed by a female ghost and there is no evidence." Zhong Kui's eyes fell on the shiny screwdriver in Xiao Wang's hand.

Bao Chuchu kept her lips tightly shut, staring at the little Wang in front of her. She probably guessed the answer and murmured, "Could it be that you are the one who killed Hong Mei? But I don't understand. We only saw female ghosts. Besides, Qi Fei said on the first day he came that even if I was the last one to return to the dormitory, fifteen minutes would not be enough for me to set up such a complicated scene..."

Zhong Kui sneered: "You have included several questions here, let me answer them one by one."

"First, there's the issue of the female ghost." She gestured towards Qi Fei.

Qi Fei stepped forward tacitly and controlled Xiao Wang.

"Let's go." Zhong Kui's voice was slow, like a messenger from hell who was going to take Xiao Wang away, and he walked towards the backyard.

"Is this where you saw the ghost?"

Others were gathered here one after another.

The charcoal fire was still warm and emitting sparks, and the scattered light made it look even more eerie.

After a while, as expected, a white figure appeared at the wall. Xiao Sun exclaimed, "This is what I saw." The shadow flashed by, and then another shadow appeared. It was the same shadow that Bao Chuchu said she had seen.

Zhong Kui suddenly clapped her hands, so inappropriately that no one knew what she was applauding.

"Haven't you seen enough? It's so exciting, let's take a closer look." Zhong Kui said, clapping his hands rhythmically.

Soon, the ghost appeared again, but this time it didn't flash by, but was clearly projected onto the wall.

Now everyone saw it clearly, and they all let out an "Ah" in unison.

Because they saw the identity of the female ghost clearly - it was Hong Mei.

"Hong Mei's ghost?!" Aunt Liu muttered and almost fainted again.

Bao Chuchu, on the other hand, remained calm: "No, Miss Hong was still alive when we saw the ghost, and there was a beam of light here!"

As Bao Chuchu spoke, everyone noticed that a faint light was shooting out from the window of Hong Mei's room and projected into the air. It was then that everyone realized that this was not a female ghost at all, but just an image of Hong Mei, which seemed to be projected from the suite where Hong Mei lived.

The reason why it is white is because Hong Mei in the picture is wearing a white bathrobe and posing seductively.

As the light beam in the room moves, the position of the projection moves up and down, corresponding to the different positions seen by people in the villa.

However, not everyone's questions were answered, because Aunt Liu said at this time: "No, what I saw was not her, that was a woman wearing ancient clothes, with blood, and her hair was like this..." She gestured, as if afraid that others would not believe her.

Zhong Kui smiled slightly: "Today's performance must have a beginning and an end. We must also satisfy what you want to see." Then he clapped his hands twice.

The projection upstairs changed. This time, a woman in white clothes was covered in blood and seemed to be lying in the snow. The camera slowly focused on the woman's face.

When everyone saw the face clearly, Aunt Liu immediately said with certainty: "Yes, yes, that's her! I saw her standing in front of me, and then she ran away!"

"It ran, right? It didn't float away." Zhong Kui asked.

Aunt Liu answered without hesitation: "Yes, he ran away."

"Is this the actress?" Someone in the crowd finally recognized her. "The one called Butterfly was supposed to replace Hong Mei as the female lead. The news has been reporting lately that she's dead, too!"

"Landie." Zhong Kui gave the name.

Wang Qi had been watching the scene, and when he heard the name "Landie", he finally exploded and shouted, "Enough!"

Zhong Kui obviously wouldn't listen to him and walked up to him. "The haunting in the villa only appeared after Hong Mei booked the suite. You started planning the murder when you knew Hong Mei was coming, right? Today, I invited your colleagues to help replicate your masterpiece. Are you satisfied?"
