Chapter 393: That ‘Second Sister’ Isn’t Second Sister
“Lord Fu suspected so too, but that woman refused to admit it. Moreover, she was indeed at home when the case happened. Her current husband can testify.”
After hearing Chu Yun’s words, Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows slightly. “Perhaps they colluded?”
“Yes, I’m suspicious. However, according to the autopsy results, the mother-daughter pair died around 7 pm. The villagers from Hua Xiang Village said that they saw that evil woman and her husband drinking in the courtyard at 7 pm.”
s.h.i.+ Yi pondered and said, “Could they have hired a murderer?”
It was not surprising that the evil woman could buy a.s.sa.s.sins, since she gave that mother-daughter pair such a huge sum of money, right?
Chu Yun nodded. “Lord Fu is suspicious of this reason. That’s why he hasn’t let the couple leave yet.”
This case was full of doubts, which was why Fu Xianyun came to find Chu Sihan so many times.
However, he was not around back then. His spiritual awareness was a bit dull and he was not as smart as Lu Sheng’s paper figurine.
Chu Sihan stood up and looked at the three of them. “Let’s go to the office.”
—————
When Lu Sheng woke up, the sky was still bright.
When she saw a ‘person’ standing at the head of the bed, she jumped up in shock.
When she saw her face clearly, she heaved a sigh of relief.
The paper doll that she used as a subst.i.tute was sitting by the bed.
At that moment, she had already returned to her paper figurine form.
Lu Sheng lit the lamp and tapped the paper figurine’s eyebrow. A series of laughter echoed in the room. Then, the paper figurine turned gray from cultivating. Finally, it turned into a golden light and entered Lu Sheng’s eyebrow.
After sorting out the paper figurine’s memories for the past few days, Lu Sheng lay on the couch.
Knock, knock.
“Second Sister, Big Brother told you to get up for dinner.”
Along with the knocking sound, Lu Jiang’s childish voice was heard.
Lu Sheng stood up with a smile and opened the door.
Lu Jiang and Lu Xin were standing outside her door. When they saw her opening the door, they hurriedly looked up and smiled at her.
“Second Sister, you’re finally back!”
Lu Xin pulled Lu Sheng’s hand and said aggrievedly.
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t Second Sister always here?”
“It’s different!”
Lu Xin pouted and shook her head. “That’s obviously not Second Sister.”
“Oh?”
Lu Sheng was surprised. “Xinxin, how can you tell that it’s not Second Sister?”
“Second Sister, don’t mind her. Sister’s being silly.”
Lu Jiang said, “When she saw you these few days, she even said that you weren’t the real Second Sister. She scared Uncle so much that he thought she was possessed.”
“I’m not!”
Lu Xin felt wronged.
Lu Sheng forced a smile and squatted down. She asked Lu Xin curiously, “Why would Xinxin say that?”
Lu Xin hugged her neck and whispered into her ear, “Second Sister’s hand is warm. That person’s hand is cold and soft. It’s as if she had no bones. It’s not Second Sister at all.”
Lu Sheng did not expect Lu Xin to be so thoughtful at such a young age.
“It’s cold in winter, so it’s normal for Second Sister’s hands to be cold. Why are you always so overly suspicious?”
“Huh?”
Lu Sheng was surprised. “Our Ah Jiang actually knows how to use idioms?”
“Hehe—”
Lu Jiang scratched his head in embarra.s.sment. “I’ve been studying with Big Brother for the past few days. I told Big Brother about Sister’s situation, and he said that Sister’s actions are called being overly suspicious.”
Lu Sheng chuckled and tapped the tip of his nose. “You learn quickly!”
Lu Jiang smiled shyly.
“Second Sister, I’m hungry!”
Seeing her real ‘Second Sister’ return, Lu Xin was elated and forgot about what happened previously.
