Humans in All Heavens: Starting with Detective Dee

After Liu Chali left, the two went into the room.

Di Renjie was sitting behind the desk, a smile on his face.

Seeing this, the two immediately laughed and said, "Judging from your expression, sir, you must have really frightened Liu Chali this time, right?"

Di Renjie nodded slightly, stood up, and stepped out from behind the desk.

"Indeed, there have been several days of ghost stories at the funeral parlor."

This had already filled Liu Chali's heart with fear.

I just told him that for several days in a row, Liu Chuanlin's ghost has appeared in my dreams, asking me to take charge for him.

I think Liu Chali is now filled with deep fear and unease.

I'm convinced that ghosts really do exist in this world.

Haha, I think we'll see what happens tonight.

Di Renjie stood confidently in the center of the room.

Turning around to look at the two, he suddenly noticed that Li Yuanfang's expression seemed a little off.

He immediately asked in confusion, "Yuanfang, what's wrong?"

"My lord, I'm fine." Li Yuanfang's face was stiff as he cupped his hands in greeting.

Actually, it was Di Renjie who brought up ghosts again, triggering some unpleasant memories from earlier.

He was unwilling to admit that he was also afraid of ghosts, so he simply kept quiet.

Di Chun touched his nose, looking embarrassed.

I should have known better than to mention ghosts; I never expected it would bring out the deepest fears in Li Yuanfang's heart.

Seeing that Li Yuanfang was unwilling to say more, Di Renjie did not ask any further questions, saying that he would naturally speak when he was willing.

Instead, he looked at Di Chun: "Di Chun, I expect Liu Chali will make a move tonight."

In addition to Liu Chuanlin's human skin mask, you also need to make a human skin mask for Liu Chali, and a mask for Liu Da.

Tonight I will impersonate a judge from the underworld to force Liu Chali to confess his crimes.

Di Chun stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Yes, sir."

So he quickly went out to prepare materials and began making human skin masks for Liu Chali and the other man.

It was evening.

Just as Di Renjie had predicted, Liu Chali stayed up all night.

Of course, even if you let him sleep, he probably wouldn't be able to.

The repeated hauntings at the funeral hall over several nights completely triggered his inner fear of murdering his own children.

He was constantly worried that Liu Chuanlin's ghost would come to claim his life.

He hasn't slept well for several days.

When I close my eyes, all I can see is Liu Chuanlin.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so eager to bury Liu Chuanlin today.

That night, Liu Chuanlin had already been buried in the mourning hall, and there was no longer a need for a vigil keeper.

Taking advantage of the absence of people in the mourning hall, Liu Chali, who had been restless for several nights, came here.

Inside the mourning hall, several candles were crackling and burning.

Liu Chali pushed open the door to the mourning hall and quietly walked in.

He was kneeling on the prayer mat, facing the memorial tablet, with his eyes closed, his lips moving slightly as he muttered something.

"Squeak," just then, the door to the mourning hall suddenly opened a crack.

A gust of cold wind blew in from outside.

Upon hearing the noise, Liu Chali was terrified and immediately turned around to look.

Just then, a gust of cold wind blew the candle, and the flame flickered in the wind.

The atmosphere in the mourning hall became even more terrifying.

"Chuanlin, is that you?"

"Chuanlin, is that you?"

Liu Chali's pupils contracted, his eyes widened, and he stared intently outside.

He was trembling all over.

"Father, it's me! I died a terrible death!"

I died a terrible death.

father……"

Suddenly, Liu Chali's expression became even more ferocious. He saw a disheveled figure suddenly appear on the door, illuminated by the candlelight in the mourning hall.

Before he could make a move, the door was pushed open, and the voice of the person outside came through.

As a father, how could I not recognize my own son's face?

He knew Liu Chuanlin's appearance better than the servants.

Even now, when Di Chun is disguised as Liu Chuanlin, his hair hangs down on both sides.

Even with most of his face covered, he could still clearly recognize that this was his son, Liu Chuanlin.

Originally, when Di Renjie scared Liu Chali, he only used fragments of Liu Chuanlin's sleeve and a Buddhist prayer bead bracelet.

With the advent of disguise techniques, this is an extremely frightening thing in the eyes of those who are unaware of the truth.

The moment Di Chun, disguised as Liu Chuanlin, appeared outside the door.

Liu Chali was now terrified.

The mourning hall, a chilling wind, flickering candles.

Liu Chuanlin appeared suddenly.

All these factors combined, including several nights of ghost sightings prior to this.

"Father, give me back my life..."

Liu Chuanlin's ghost stepped across the threshold and walked straight toward Liu Chali.

With a thud, Liu Chali collapsed to the ground, supporting himself with one arm behind him.

As Liu Chuanlin's ghost drew closer, he retreated relentlessly.

"Chuanlin, no, don't blame your father, don't blame your father."

Father had no choice.

Liu Chali's voice was choked with sobs, clearly indicating that he was terrified.

"Father, it was out of necessity."

"Father, give me back my life! You actually murdered your own son..."

Liu Chuanlin's ghost was still getting closer; for every step he took, Liu Chali would take a step back.

In his terror, Liu Chali could only helplessly say, "Father didn't want to kill you either."

Who told you to do something so disgraceful to the family?

He actually flirted with his stepmother.

Do you think I can spare your life?

Liu Chali wept bitterly.

Liu Chuanlin's ghost continues its journey.

As Liu Chuanlin's ghost slowly approached.

Along with this, the phrase "Give me back my life" was repeatedly uttered.

Liu Chali retreated to the foot of the memorial tablet, until he had nowhere left to retreat.

"Ah!" Liu Chali cried out in surprise and fainted right under the memorial tablet, so frightened that he passed out.

"Clang, clang, clang." Accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

Di Renjie and his companion, who had been hiding to the side, walked straight out.

Clearly, the two of them had heard Liu Chali's words.

Di Renjie's face was full of doubt, as was Li Yuanfang's.

After a moment of silence, Di Renjie finally spoke: "Do you think it's really as Liu Chali said?"

Did Liu Chuanlin harass his stepmother?

Li Yuanfang shook his head: "My lord, I have always felt that Young Master Liu has the demeanor of a gentleman."

My interactions with people have always made me feel very comfortable.

I did not feel any discomfort whatsoever.

"I really can't imagine him harassing his stepmother."

Di Renjie then looked at Di Chun: "Di Chun, what do you think?"

Di Chun said, "My lord, I share the same opinion as Brother Yuanfang."

I find it hard to believe that Young Master Liu would actually flirt with his stepmother.

This is not something he would do.

Di Renjie nodded: "The three of us share the same idea."

However, sometimes you can know a person's face but not their heart.

I think we should get Liu Chali to sign a confession as soon as possible, admitting to his crime, and then directly question Young Master Liu about it.

After thinking for a moment, Di Renjie guessed, "Perhaps there's some misunderstanding involved?"

"Indeed, perhaps there is some misunderstanding that led Liu Chali to misunderstand Young Master Liu."

Otherwise, I find it hard to imagine that someone like Young Master Liu would do such a thing.
