Chapter 124: Inquire about information
"If this is the only similarity, it's most likely like this." Xu Yingying's expression was also a little solemn. If it was really Zhang Xiaohan, then the matter would definitely not be easily resolved.
After all, Xu Yingying had met Zhang Xiaohan before, but she didn't notice anything unusual, let alone see the aura of a sexy ghost on Zhang Xiaohan. She only knew that there was a little ghost kept by Zhang Xiaohan's side.
If Zhang Xiaohan is really a sexy ghost, then her abilities are definitely extraordinary.
After thinking for a moment, Li Siqi said, "If you want to know whether she is the real one or not, just send the second wife back and ask her."
Xu Yingying just then remembered that Li Siqi had arranged a secret guard to keep an eye on Zhang Xiaohan.
Li Siqi had a special way of communicating with the secret guards, and soon, the Second Lady appeared in front of them.
Looking at the second wife kneeling on the ground, Xu Yingying felt that there seemed to be something strange about him, but she just thought that it was because the second wife was closer to Zhang Xiaohan and had been there for a long time, so she was contaminated with a slightly different aura.
"Second Madam, you have been following Zhang Xiaohan for such a long time, have you noticed anything unusual?" Li Siqi asked.
But the Second Lady remained silent for a long time, lowered her head and said, "My Lord, I did not find anything unusual."
At this time, not only Xu Yingying, but even Li Siqi noticed that something was wrong with the Second Wife.
"Are you serious?" Li Siqi's voice also became a little deeper. "Second Madam, you know the rules. There are some things that cannot be concealed."
"I know, but I have been keeping an eye on Miss Zhang for some time and haven't found anything unusual. Master, do you suspect that the recent murders are related to Miss Zhang?" The second wife still insisted on her original statement, insisting that there was nothing unusual about Zhang Xiaohan.
The second wife spoke so righteously and without hesitation.
At this point, Li Siqi could conclude that the Second Wife must have been hiding something that allowed her most loyal secret guard to turn against her. Li Siqi also began to fear Zhang Xiaohan.
Xu Yingying and Li Siqi looked at each other, but did not get angry on the spot. Instead, she waved her hand and said, "In that case, you can go back and continue to watch."
Upon hearing this, the second wife felt as if she had been pardoned, and disappeared from the spot the next second.
It was not until the Second Lady left that Xu Yingying spoke.
"What should we do now? The reaction of the Second Wife seems to have been brainwashed by Zhang Xiaohan. She is wholeheartedly on his side. If we can't get any clues from the Second Wife, then we really know nothing about Zhang Xiaohan."
Xu Yingying's eyes were filled with worry and helplessness.
Li Siqi also knew the seriousness of the matter. "He can't get anything out of her right now. Besides, he has no evidence and can't do anything to the Second Wife. He can only ask her again later."
"Of course, but does Your Highness have any ideas now?"
"Go ask Zhang Xiaohan directly. With your ability, you should be able to see something from Zhang Xiaohan." Li Siqi suggested after pondering for a moment.
Xu Yingying just nodded, "That's a solution, but I didn't detect the ghostly aura on Zhang Xiaohan last time, so I'm afraid it won't work this time either."
"Let's try it first." Li Siqi made the final decision, and Xu Yingying naturally had no objection.
After returning to the mansion and dressing up a little, Xu Yingying went straight to Yihongyuan with Li Siqi.
To be on the safe side, Xu Yingying allowed Camellia and Tuanna to go with her this time.
Perhaps because of the murder, the entire street where Yihongyuan is located is deserted, let alone men, who all try to avoid this place.
Just kidding, they just want to enjoy themselves, they don’t really want to die.
But when Li Siqi and Xu Yingying stepped into Yihong Courtyard, they felt that the scene outside seemed fake. Yihong Courtyard was not affected by the murder case, and there were still many guests inside. Although it was not as bustling as before, it was not much less.
When Aunt Wang saw the two of them, she greeted them with a smile and asked them questions attentively, as if she had seen her own parents.
"Oh, the distinguished guest is here. Which girl of ours are you looking for today?"
Li Siqi didn't want to waste time talking, "Is Zhang Xiaohan free now?" As he spoke, he gestured to Xu Yingying to hand Wang Ma a purse.
Aunt Wang was very satisfied as she touched the heavy bag of silver.
"Of course. Miss Xiaohan is quite free today. I will take the distinguished guest upstairs right away."
Zhang Xiaohan was not surprised by the visit of Li Siqi and Xu Yingying. As usual, she poured a cup of tea for them and said, "Please take a seat, gentlemen. I haven't seen you for a long time. What is the matter with you today?"
Li Siqi was not vague either. He started asking about the murder case. However, Xu Yingying was not as leisurely as last time. She stared at Tuanna beside her.
Tu Anna has been feeling a little restless ever since she stepped into Yihong Courtyard, and this restlessness became more intense as she approached Zhang Xiaohan's room.
Until she saw Zhang Xiaohan's figure, Tuanna's resentment suddenly became stronger, and the look in her eyes as she stared at Zhang Xiaohan was filled with biting coldness and sinister murderous intent.
She shouted and pounced on Zhang Xiaohan, wanting to tear her to pieces. Xu Yingying did not stop her. She also wanted to see whether Zhang Xiaohan would be hurt by Tuanna.
What was surprising was that even a resentful ghost like Tuanna was bounced away when she was about to touch Zhang Xiaohan, as if there was a barrier around her that blocked all the damage for her.
Xu Yingying watched Tuanna being flung away, and then being pulled back by Camellia, so she didn't actually fly out of Yihong Courtyard.
Xu Yingying was secretly shocked. She didn't expect Zhang Xiaohan to have such ability. She just didn't know whether she had some magic weapon on her or she could resist the invasion of such things.
Tuanna did not feel surprised by this scene. It seemed that she had experienced this kind of thing countless times.
Xu Yingying shifted her gaze to Zhang Xiaohan unnoticeably and saw that the other person's attention was not on her.
She carefully shook out a few paper dolls from her sleeves and cast a little magic. The dolls seemed to come alive and jumped out of Xu Yingying's hands on their own and hid in various corners of the room.
After Xu Yingying finished all this, Li Siqi's conversation with Zhang Xiaohan also ended. As expected, Zhang Xiaohan said nothing and Li Siqi gained nothing.
"Mr. Li, Xiaohan knows that you are worried about the murder case, but you can see that Xiaohan is just a young woman, and she is still devoted to this place of smoke and willows. How can she know about the murder case outside, let alone."
