C247 A lamp suddenly extinguished

She was shouting nonsense when Ji Xiu returned.

He slapped the back of her head and said softly, "Nonsense again!"

Xiao Yin turned her head and curled her lips at him. "If you agree to be my man, then you won't be spouting nonsense."

"I don't agree!" Ji Xiu lightly replied.

"Hmph, there will be a day when I agree!" Xiao Yin rebutted him provocatively. She wasn't discouraged at all.

Perhaps he had heard enough answers to reject, so he was immune to it.

However, the key point was that Xiao Yin felt that even though he didn't treat her too coldly, there was still progress to be made.

She said no, what did it feel like, because it was just a simple intuition, without any basis, but it had created an indomitable drive for her.

As usual, Ji Xiu didn't say anything.

After sitting down, he looked at Mu Yuesheng and said indifferently, "I'll go outside to take a look. The snow is still falling and the snow has become even deeper. I'm really afraid that we won't be able to leave tomorrow."

As he spoke, his forehead slightly closed.

Mu Yuesheng pondered for a moment. "I'll think of a way. I'll definitely be able to descend the mountain tomorrow!"

"Alright!" Ji Xiu nodded and once again fell into deep thought.

Xia Bingqing saw that Professor Ji was very worried about going down the mountain, so she guessed: "Professor Ji, do you have something important to do tomorrow?"

Ji Xiu nodded. "Yes, it's a case that was commissioned by the police station. I'll send the report to them tomorrow."

Xiao Yin, who was crouching on the floor picking up cards, turned around and asked excitedly, "Could it be that the case of suicide in the wardrobe is currently being talked about online? I heard that it's quite bizarre!"

Ji Xiu glanced at Xiao Yin. "Pay more attention to your studies and focus less on useless matters."

He did not deny it, which was tantamount to admitting it.

Xia Bing Qing was stunned as she quietly looked at Mu Yuesheng.

This was probably about the maid's case.

As for that matter, only she and Mu Yuesheng knew the entire process. There were too many complications involved, and Xia Bing Qing hadn't revealed a single word to Xiao Yin. She didn't want to attract any trouble.

She had originally thought that such a matter wouldn't become a hot topic, but from this, it could be seen that her guess was wrong.

Mu Yuesheng's eyes were calm as she calmly asked, "Oh, so Professor Ji was involved in that case as well?"

"What is it? Boss Mu, you're concerned about this sort of thing as well? " Ji Xiu calmly asked, his tone and eyes were very calm.

It showed that he was not surprised!

"Professor Ji must have heard that the dead girl worked at my house before!" Mu Yuesheng went straight to the point.

Since it was commissioned by the police, they must have told him about the girl's background. At the same time, he must have told her that the Mu family had secretly entrusted the police to look for the girl.

Instead of feigning ignorance, it was better to take the initiative to make things clear.

Ji Xiu lowered his head and focused his gaze. He picked up the cup on the table and took a sip before slowly putting it down. "I heard that the girl secretly escaped after stealing something from the Mu family."

"Yes!" Mu Yuesheng gave a simple reply.

Xia Bing Qing nervously held her hands.

Xiao Yin cried out, "What? Is the one who died the Mu family's maid? " Her eyes suddenly turned to Xia Bing Qing: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"What's there to say!" It's not like it's a good thing. " Xia Bing Qing pretended to be natural, her heart beating a little like a picture.

"Yeah, it's almost the new year, it's pretty unlucky," Xiao Yin agreed, but she didn't press the issue. She then sat on the sofa and excitedly analyzed the situation, "I think that girl must have been infected with dirty things. Otherwise, she would've committed suicide."

"Where does a girl get her hands on what kind of poison gas? It's not that simple! " Although it seemed like Ji Xiu had said those words carelessly to Xiao Yin, he had actually said them to Mu Yuesheng.

This matter was obviously related to the Mu family.

"What kind of poison gas is so rare?" Xia Bing Qing asked curiously.

"Not at the moment, not even in foreign countries. The most important thing is poison gas. That girl only has a junior high school education, so she can't use such complicated toxicology."

"Then he was killed!"

"The case has not been solved, and I keep talking. But I don't believe that suicide can be done in such a way. It's too tiresome and unnecessary. The most important thing is that a person is determined to die, so why do you need to lock the door! "

Xia Bing Qing felt that Professor Ji's words made a lot of sense.

I heard that the room was not very clean. That girl was pretty good during the day, and she even cooked a table of food. Suddenly locking herself in the closet at night is too unreasonable.

"Stop trying to reason with me. Where did this ghost come from?" Xia Bing Qing refuted her.

Just as he finished speaking, with a "pa" sound, the light went out.

The surrounding area was quickly swallowed up by darkness.

It was pitch black.

Silence.

The air congealed.

The dancing firelight from the fireplace made everyone's face red.

After a while.

"Ah!" Xiao Yin screamed.

Xia Bing Qing used two fingers to cover her ears.

"Shut up!" Mu Yuesheng's head hurt from the sharp cry, and she shouted to stop it.

Ahh!" Xiao Yin couldn't stop herself.

It wasn't until Ji Xiu went over to cover her mouth that the scream stopped.

Ye Ci couldn't be blamed. She had just talked about where in this world there was a ghost when the lamp suddenly went out. If it was anyone else, they would have a heart attack.

Xiao Yin's reaction was actually quite normal. When a person was in a state of terror, even the slightest movement would cause them to go crazy from fright.

"Why did the power go out?" Xia Bing looked around, she was not afraid at all. What kind of supernatural thing was this, she did not believe it at all.

"It could have been a fuse." Mu Yuesheng was very calm.

"Then what should we do? If there's no electricity, the heating will go off and it'll freeze to death. "

"Don't worry, the boss will fix it."

"But he seems to have gone out."

Earlier, Xia Bing saw the boss getting dressed and preparing to leave, then he disappeared.

Ji Xiu released Xiao Yin and pushed her aside. "I know where the change box is. I'll go over and take a look. Hopefully, it's just a fuse. If something breaks outside, then things won't be good."

Xia Bing Qing turned her head and said to Mu Yuesheng, "You guys can go together. Just in case you need help, it's just right that it's useful."

"Alright then!" Mu Yuesheng agreed.

The two men stood up, took out their cell phones, and walked out of the living room.

After they left, Xiao Yin, who had been hiding nearby, snuck over to Xia Bing Qing's side, grabbed her arm, and whispered, "Don't you feel scared?"

"What's so scary about that? You're scaring yourself." Xia Bing smirked.

"No, this is too much of a coincidence. How could there be such a coincidence? Bing Qing, I'm a bit scared."

"It's okay, the electricity will come soon."

Xia Bing Qing comforted her when suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew past her back, causing her hair to move from the wind.

She couldn't help but freeze.

Xiao Yin also froze. Clearly, she had sensed it as well.
