  It was already late, and the lights of the large houses behind Guchangbo Mansion were turned off one after another, and people all took a rest.

  Chang Liang's residence was still dark, and there was no movement.

  Xin You moved her numb leg carefully, feeling suspicious.

  Usually, Chang Liang would have come back early, could something have changed today?

  She sneaked in while the aunt hired by Chang Liang was cleaning and doing work. She stayed for half a day without even eating dinner.

  It was very cold, Xin You gently rubbed his hands together and exhaled a cloud of white air.

   Just then, there was finally movement outside.

   The movement was not too small, first there was the sound of closing the door vigorously, and then the sound of footsteps.

  Xin You poked her head out quietly, and vaguely saw a dark shadow.

  The black shadow went straight to the corner of the yard, and soon there was the sound of rushing water.

  Xin You was stunned, and realized what that man was doing.

  Even though it was a little embarrassing, she kept staring at it until the dark shadow entered the room and lit the oil lamp.

  Although Rudou's light was dim, Xinyou who was hiding in the dark could see clearly.

   It was undoubtedly Chang Liang. Judging from the sluggish actions of the other party, he should have drunk alcohol, but not to the point of being drunk.

   This solved Xin You's doubts: No wonder Chang Liang came back so late, it turned out that he went drinking after changing shifts.

   It seems that the day of action was not chosen well.

  Xin You flashed this idea, and quickly corrected: No, it should be the right choice. A person who is drunk but not drunk is more beneficial to her subsequent actions.

  The premise is that Chang Liang will drink the added water as she predicted.

  Because the other party drank a lot of wine, Xinyou was a little unsure. If it really doesn't come as she guessed, then I can only give up the plan tonight and come back tomorrow night.

   A bad start is not a good sign.

  Xin You's hanging heart finally let go when she saw Chang Liang lifted the kettle and poured a glass of water, and drank it down.

  The drug effect was more rapid under the dispelling of alcohol, Chang Liang raised his hand to support his forehead, and even forgot to turn off the light, he lay down on the bed, and soon there was a thunderous snoring.

  Xin You waited patiently for a while, then quietly walked out of the hiding place and walked to the bed step by step.

  Chang Liang was in a deep sleep, with a strong smell of alcohol coming out of his slightly opened mouth.

  In this weather, there was no fire in the house, and he didn't sleep on a kang, so he looked a little hot.

  Xin You took out a mirror from his arms, checked it carefully, and made sure there was no mistake, then reached out and patted Chang Liang's face.

  Chang Liang's snoring became louder.

   Tick tock, tick tock—

  Chang Liang's eyelids trembled in his sleep. He felt drops of water dripping on his eyelids. He wanted to open them, but he couldn't.

   Tick tock, tick tock—

  Chang Liang struggled hard and finally opened it.

   His sleepy eyes widened instantly, and when he saw the person in front of him clearly, his pupils trembled.

  A martial arts practitioner's body reacts faster than his thoughts. Chang Liang carp wanted to get up, but failed.

  He was limp all over, unable to exert any strength at all.

  The person in front of him suddenly leaned over.

  Chang Liang was mostly drunk and drowsy, and said in shock, "You are a human or a ghost!"

  The woman with bleeding eyes stretched out her hand and put it on his neck.

  The hands were icy cold, without a trace of heat.

   This convinced Chang Liang that what was in front of him was undoubtedly a ghost.

  The dim and flickering lights, the residual alcohol and medicine, the powerlessness of the ghost pressing the bed, and the cold hand—

  Chang Liang was terrified, and blurted out words of defense: "Don't look for me, I just obey orders!"

   "Why?" Xin You asked word by word.

   This is what she asked for her mother, and it is what she has always wanted to ask.

   "I don't know!" Chang Liang's mind went blank with the hands clenched around his neck, and he couldn't move even if he wanted to avoid it.

  At this moment, he felt the threat of death, and instinctively begged for mercy: "You want to seek revenge and find someone else, so many people started fighting together, why did you find me? I don't even know who you are..."

   "Who are you looking for? Who should I be looking for?" Under the dim light, blood and tears from the corners of the "female ghost"'s eyes trickled down to her cheeks.

"Look for my uncle, my uncle took me there!" Chang Liang blurted out a sentence, and Chang Liang immediately changed his words, "No, no, don't look for my uncle, you go to uncle, it must be his order, my uncle will obey His! You go to him..."

  The hand that pinched his neck was getting stronger and stronger. With difficulty breathing, Chang Liang spoke quickly.

  Why can't I use my strength, why is my body so heavy?

  Is he about to be killed by a ghost?

  Chang Liang was thinking in confusion, a cold hand rested on his eyelids.

  The eyelids could no longer hold up and closed.

  At the beginning, his expression was twisted and struggling, as if he was struggling with something, and soon the snoring sounded again.

  Xin You took a few steps back and stood silently.

  The dim yellow light cast her figure on the window, shadowy and ghostly.

  Xin You took out the palm-sized mirror again and looked at the person in the mirror.

  That face has been retouched and painted, and it looks 70% to 80% like my mother. If Chang Liang was one of the people who raised the butcher's knife, as their absolute target, they must still have an impression of this face.

  Seven or eight images, in this deliberately created scene, is enough to make him think that a ghost is killing his life.

  Xin You stared fixedly at Chang Liang who was snoring like thunder, and pursed her lips tightly.

   This time, there is no misunderstanding.

   It is undoubtedly Gu Changbo who ordered the killing of mother.

  Restraining the turbulent killing intent, Xin You carefully cleaned up the traces of her presence.

   There is still a long way to go, she can't kill Chang Liang now and startle the snake.

  After cleaning carefully, Xin You took a deep look at Chang Liang, quietly exited the room, and climbed over the wall.

  The night is already deep, and there are no stars and moons in the sky, only dark clouds flowing slowly.

  The wind picked up, and it was bone-chillingly cold, and the sound of a watch was heard far away.

  Xin You huddled in her cloak and ran towards Qingsong Bookstore.

   "Who?" A group of officers with knives came into view, and someone inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xin You wearing a black cloak and shouted sharply.

  Xin You secretly said "Oops", and quickly ran into an alley.

  At that glance, the officer of the team seemed to be Jinlinwei. To meet him so late, he probably caught up with them to arrest the fugitive.

   Fortunately, Xinyou is very familiar with this area, after a few turns, she jumped from the fence into the house she bought.

  The house was locked from the outside, and Xin You didn't dare to light the lamp, feeling inexplicably uneasy, so just to be on the safe side, she washed off the makeup on her face in the dark and restored her original appearance.

   After finishing all this, Xin You thought about it and decided to sleep here for the night, but it didn't take long before there was noise outside.

  The door next door was knocked open, and Xin You leaned against the door to listen. Those Jinlin guards seemed to have finished checking the next door and saw the locked house.

   "Who lives in this house?"

   Soon someone replied timidly: "Originally there was a tenant, but they moved out, and it seems that the door has been locked..."

   "Smash it open!"

  Hearing these two words, Xin You quickly hid.
