Bigshot, Your Wife Is With Her Tarot Cards Again!

Yun Qin only smiled and said gently, “As long as you’re willing to tell me, I have enough money.”

Hearing this, the woman’s expression was a little unnatural. She gave Yun Qin a small stool, then carried the child and sat far away from her. She said, “Tell me, what do you want to ask?”

“What ghost lurks around at night here?”

The woman did not expect Yun Qin to ask such a ridiculous and somewhat reasonable question as soon as she came over. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she said somewhat helplessly, “If I tell you, don’t be afraid.”

“Yes, yes.” Yun Qin quickly nodded.

“During the first three days, three people died in this village!”

The woman’s expression turned cold, and then she began to tell the story vividly.

On the first day, an old bachelor with the surname Liu died in the village at night. One of the villagers returning from fishing at night passed by the old bachelor’s house and found him lying in front of his house. He died with his teeth bared and his mouth foaming.

The village doctor looked at the body and said that he died of food poisoning. The old bachelor had no relatives so the village chief was the one who buried him.

On the second day, another old man died at night. When he was found, he was lying by the latrine pit. His eyes were wide open, and his tongue was crooked. His family all said that he died of a heart attack.

On the third day, which was last night, someone’s wife was found dead in her yard in a pool of blood. She must have fallen from the second floor when she got up at night and head hit her head on the stones in the yard.

“These are all accidental deaths, right? What does it have to do with ghosts?” Yun Qin asked, puzzled.

The woman stared at her as if it was nothing, then lowered her voice and said, “A person dies every night. There must be a ghost! Besides, I also saw…”

The middle-aged woman was a top-notch storyteller, and her words deliberately kept her interested. Yun Qin could not help but ask, “What did you see?”

“I went to the bathroom the night before yesterday and saw a female ghost dressed in white with disheveled hair scurrying away from behind the tree! It scared me to death!”

“Are you sure that it was a ghost?”

Yun Qin was very suspicious. If there was a ghost, why couldn’t she sense it?

The woman was very anxious about Yun Qin’s suspicion. She stomped her feet and shouted, “I saw it with my own eyes! There’s no mistake! Moreover, a lot of people in the village saw it. It must be a ghost!”

Her voice scared the baby in her arms to tears. The woman quickly tried to calm the baby down. The scene became very chaotic.

After the woman placed the baby into the crib and coaxed it to sleep, Yun Qin said, “Alright, I believe you. Also, why do the villagers seem very wary of outsiders?”

Hearing this, the woman was silent for a while, but she immediately said, “Of course…of course, it’s because of the plague.”

Yun Qin smiled, then stared at her and said, “Ma’am, I do know some things. Don’t lie to me.”

Hearing Yun Qin say this, the woman looked a little embarrassed, but she still said stubbornly, “It’s not true, how can it be? I didn’t lie to you, I didn’t lie to you.”

Yun Qin didn’t expect that her trick would expose the woman. Obviously, she must know something.

“The livestock is suffering from the plague, so why are they trying to restrict people’s movement? The village is not reporting it to the government and wants to secretly resolve the issue. What are you trying to hide?”

Yun Qin saw that the woman was feeling guilty, so she said this nonchalantly.

After being exposed, the woman did not say anything. She stared at her feet as if she was struggling with something.

Therefore, Yun Qin took out a stack of money that she prepared beforehand and placed it by the woman’s feet. She said softly, “Here’s $30,000 to buy all the information you know, okay? I would never betray you.”

The woman swallowed her saliva again and subconsciously picked up the money beside her feet. Then, she said cautiously, “You… are not a reporter, are you?”

Yun Qin was amused by her words. She shook her head and said, “No, I’m here to catch ghosts.”

“You’re here to catch ghosts?!” The woman’s eyes widened when she heard that.

“Yes. To be honest, this village was targeted by an evil spirit. Everyone is in danger,” Yun Qin said seriously.

She did not lie about this at all.

The woman had always believed that a female ghost dressed in white lurked around the village. Now that Yun Qin said it, she was even more shocked. She said in disbelief, “How is that possible? You’re so young. You know how to catch ghosts?”

Yun Qin shrugged. Was it my fault for being young?

Seeing that the woman did not believe her, Yun Qin sighed and activated her “Insight” ability.

“Your husband works in a coastal city and had an affair. For the sake of your child, you forgave him and miss him very much. You are afraid that you and your child would be bullied, such as now.”

Yun Qin caught the woman’s thoughts for a moment and then said everything.
