Humans in All Heavens: Starting with Detective Dee

"It's haunted! It's haunted..."

The guards and several servants were so frightened that they scattered and fled in all directions.

At the same time, he kept shouting.

The people of Liujiazhuang are having trouble sleeping.

The voices of the group nearly woke up everyone in the entire Liu Family Village.

Apart from the residences of Di Renjie and his two companions.

The three lived next to the garden, surrounded by the imperial guards.

No one else could disturb them.

Early the next morning.

After resting, Di Renjie strolled out of his room.

I was just about to leave.

Zhou Yi and Li Yuanfang then arrived together.

"Oh? Why are you two here so early today? Or did you come together?"

The two exchanged a glance, and Zhou Yi stepped forward and said, "My lord, hehe, after we got up, we went for a walk around Liu Family Village."

The ghost story at the funeral hall last night has spread throughout Liujiazhuang.

Now everyone in the village knows that Liu Chuanlin's ghost has appeared.

Several people were quite frightened.

"Where is Liu Chali? How is he doing?"

We went to great lengths; this performance was specifically for him.

"Liu Chuanlin's ghost has appeared. I think the person in the whole village who is most terrified must be him, right?" Di Renjie stretched out his hand and asked quickly.

"Ha." The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear."

Most people wouldn't be able to remain completely fearless in murdering their own son.

Liu Chali was naturally afraid as well.

When I saw him this morning, he clearly still had a nervous expression on his face.

Zhou Yi smiled.

"That's good, that's good." Di Renjie nodded in satisfaction and looked at Zhou Yi: "However, this play must continue."

It's not cooked enough.

Tonight, you will continue to act like a ghost at the funeral hall.

We must make Liu Chali tremble with fear.

"Don't worry, sir."

That night, just like the night before, Zhou Yi continued to wear Liu Chuanlin's human skin mask and act like a ghost in the mourning hall.

The person keeping vigil last night was terrified and is feeling extremely fearful tonight.

I didn't dare to stay alone in the mourning hall.

So Liu Da arranged for several more servants to help keep vigil.

This is exactly what the Book of Changes wanted to do.

The more people there are, the more terrifying the atmosphere becomes.

One person's persuasive power is ultimately somewhat insufficient.

A larger number of people would make it easier for the people of Liujiazhuang to panic.

The mourning hall.

Because of the ghost story last night, the new servants and the previous guards were too afraid to even doze off late at night.

Everyone stared intently at the coffin in front of them, not even blinking.

"Mmm, mmm..."

I died a terrible death.

Just as the group was engrossed in their conversation, a sinister voice rang out.

"Ah! Did you hear something?"

The sudden sound sent a chill down the spines of the already tense group.

One of them thought it was his imagination, so he looked at the others.

"I……"

Just as someone was about to answer.

That chilling voice appeared again.

"Give me back my life! Give me back my life!"

"what!"

Several piercing screams instantly echoed throughout the mourning hall and spread rapidly throughout the entire Liu Family Village.

In their panic, the group immediately huddled together.

Back to back.

"Give me back my life..."

The eerie voice continued to ring out, and in the moment when the group was distracted, they saw behind the coffin and in front of the memorial tablet.

Liu Chuanlin's ghost reappeared.

"Young Master? Young Master?" The group saw that Liu Chuanlin's ghost had indeed appeared before them.

My legs started trembling immediately.

Sizzle, sizzle.

"Hmm?" Just as the atmosphere in the mourning hall was becoming increasingly solemn.

A peculiar voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked over and saw one of the servants trembling, with a stream of foul-smelling water flowing uncontrollably down his trouser leg.

"There really is a ghost, there really is a ghost?"

Run!

One person shouted, instantly rousing the others.

They all ran towards the exit of the mourning hall.

The group continued running, shouting as they went.

The entire Liujiazhuang village was thrown into chaos once again.

Liu Da was woken up again, along with Liu Chali.

I heard that the funeral hall is haunted again.

Moreover, the person guarding the spirit was not the only one who saw Liu Chuanlin's ghost this time.

There were several other servants.

Liu Chali, who already had something to hide, became even more fearful and uneasy.

Even during the day, I am on edge.

There was no sign of him relaxing at all.

An atmosphere of fear permeated the entire Liujiazhuang village.

This forced Liu Chali to bury Liu Chuanlin's body ahead of schedule.

The three consecutive days of hauntings at the funeral hall brought the atmosphere of terror to a fever pitch.

That morning.

Di Renjie and his two companions strolled casually through the manor.

In reality, they were observing the reactions of those around them.

Inside Liu Family Village, servants were seen carrying offerings and moving back and forth.

Wandering around.

Some people led a group of monks and Taoist priests who were performing rituals toward the mourning hall.

Everyone looked tense.

Seeing this, Di Renjie nodded in satisfaction.

He looked at the two of them and said, "It seems this game is almost over."

Now, almost everyone in Liujiazhuang believes that Liu Chuanlin's ghost is causing trouble.

"We also owe a lot to Hu Jinghui's disguise skills."

Once the mask is on, he looks exactly like Liu Chuanlin.

Late at night, in the mourning hall, I saw with my own eyes a person who looked exactly like Liu Chuanlin appear.

If people didn't know it was a disguise technique beforehand, most would probably think it was Liu Chuanlin's ghost.

Di Renjie nodded: "This art of disguise truly has many ingenious uses."

This time, we were so lucky to have this human skin mask.

That's what makes the atmosphere of terror even more intense.

After saying that, Di Renjie gave Zhou Yi a look.

Zhou Yi turned to one of the guards behind him and said, "Go and call Liu Da over."

"Yes."

In a short while, Liu Da arrived before Di Renjie, led by his guards.

"Liu Da? What are you all busy with in Zhuangnei?"

"Oh, sir, is that so? The young master is being buried this morning?"

"Oh, so rushed."

"Yes, but these are the master's orders, so we have no choice but to obey."

"Go and fetch your master."

"Yes."

After Liu Da left, Di Renjie stroked his beard with a smile on his face.

Inside Di Renjie's room.

Liu Chuanlin has been moved to Zhou Yi's room so that Zhou Yi can take care of him.

When Liu Chali arrived, Di Renjie was casually reading a book behind his desk.

Li Yuanfang led Liu Chali in: "My lord, Minister Liu has arrived."

"Oh, please have a seat."

"Thank you, sir." Liu Chali sat down nervously.

"I heard from Liu Da that preparations are being made to bury the young master this morning?"

According to custom, the body must remain in state for three weeks before burial.

It's only the 27th day of the lunar month, isn't it a bit too rushed?

Liu Chali swallowed hard, trying to calm himself down.

Having a guilty conscience, he had naturally already come up with a reason.

"Oh, is that so, sir? The weather is hot, and we were worried about the body decomposing, so we buried it earlier..."
