Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Yun Qi, Come Out

Evening time.

Officer Liu was driving the car while Yun Ying leaned halfway out of the sunroof, holding a compass in her hand.

Upon arriving at Li Mingshen’s residence, the compass began to spin violently.

"No mistake, the aura of the marriage ghost lingers here, indicating she has been here and confirming she killed Li Mingshen," Yun Ying said confidently, a slight smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

"Keep going, the compass can trace the trail of the marriage ghost’s movement."

Following the compass’s guidance, Officer Liu drove slowly, turning corner after corner, crossing one intersection after another.

Yun Ying furrowed her brows and looked up, and there it was, the large courtyard surrounded by green trees— was it not her own home?

Well then, once they catch the marriage ghost, she can simply return home.

As she thought about this, the compass stopped spinning.

Officer Liu waited for instructions but asked, "Miss Yun, where do we go next?"

Yun Ying looked at the compass, then looked up ahead.

And right there stood the gate of the Yun Family—a place she passed through every day. She couldn’t be mistaken.

But...

How could the marriage ghost possibly be hiding in her own home?

The Yun Family is not an ordinary household; the expansive courtyard is designed with professional yin and yang feng shui.

Antique charm, upturned eaves, carved beams, and painted rafters, the roofs are connected like a dragon’s spine. The courtyard’s plants and water scenery form a gathering of spirit and qi. The front and back doors and even the pathways leading into the house are covered with tiles decorated with talisman symbols, which have the effect of driving away evil and attracting good fortune.

How dare the marriage ghost enter?!

If a small ghost tried to forcefully enter, it could nearly scatter its soul.

"No, no, there must be some mistake," Yun Ying shook her head, the confident smile had long disappeared, replaced by self-doubt.

"Miss Yun, is something wrong?" Officer Liu stopped the car and asked.

"This... is my home. The marriage ghost’s aura disappeared in front of my home’s gate, indicating she— went in."

"She went to your home? Could it be that she noticed you’re investigating her and decided to hide in advance to take revenge on you?" Officer Liu’s imagination ran wild.

Is that so?

Yun Ying wavered.

"In that case, better to be safe. Why not ask your elders for help, to ensure nothing goes wrong?"

Yun Ying knit her brows tightly, sweat dripping down her forehead.

Her grandfather was the most formidable person in her family, but he retired at just over fifty due to health reasons.

He hasn’t taken action for over a decade. If she were to beg him, he’d surely help, but then, whose merit would that be in solving the case???

Would others think she lacks ability?

She was, after all, the "Little Heavenly Girl" renowned in Hai City, and with this in mind, Yun Ying bit her lip, "No need, even if that female ghost hides and wants to harm me, I’m not afraid of her."

With those words, Yun Ying pushed open the door and went inside.

The butler was surprised, "Miss, why didn’t you have the driver pick you up?"

Yun Ying didn’t respond, bypassing the butler and walking straight inside.

Officer Liu cautiously followed behind her.

Once inside the courtyard, the compass began to spin again, faster and faster.

Finally arriving under the main building, the compass needle started to move, then came to a stop.

Yun Ying looked up and saw it was the terrace window outside Yun Qi’s bedroom.

Officer Liu craned his neck to look at the compass, "Miss Yun, what does this mean?"

Yun Ying bit her lip, her eyes flickering with intense satisfaction of revenge, "Officer Liu, please wait in the living room, I have some family matters to attend to."

"Oh, okay."

Officer Liu obediently walked into the living room, while Yun Ying strode upstairs to the door of Yun Qi’s bedroom.

"Yun Qi, come out!"
