Chapter 10: Flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected in the lake (Part 1)

On the question board where Gao Zhi wrote the correct answers in advance, there were four places in total, corresponding to the four murders that happened in this old house.

Twenty-five years ago, his parents were both burned to death in a fire, and the place was in the main hall on the first floor.

According to witness servants, Gao Zhi’s father suddenly set himself on fire in a bizarre manner, which affected his mother who was eager to put out the fire. He was only thirteen years old at the time.

Not long after, his grandmother accidentally rolled down the stairs and hit her head when she went downstairs. Due to her old age, she was sent to the hospital and died.

A year after that, his little sister fell downstairs and broke her neck when she leaned out of the corridor window on the third floor to grab the flowers hanging on the tree due to the negligence of the nanny.

The sudden death of his wife and little granddaughter devastatingly hit Old Master Gao deeply at that time. He hastily made a will for the division of property. The next day he died suddenly of an acute cerebral hemorrhage at home.

When the servant found out, the old man’s body was already cold.

In a few years, the young Gao Zhi lost all his relatives. He also changed from the high-spirited eldest grandson of the richest man to an ordinary person full of pain.

The viewers who were watching the live broadcast were devastated by his experience.

[This family is too miserable. No wonder the headmaster of the household looks bitter. Anyone who has experienced these things must have a little psychological shadow!]

[What the hell did the headmaster do to be cursed so fiercely?]

After nearly five hours of observation, the ones who wrote relatively accurate answers were Contestant No. 1 Xun Yiqing, Contestant No. 2 Bai Ci, and Contestant No. 9 He Mitu, a young man.

They all accurately wrote down the four locations and rooms, saying that these places were the most deadly, and people were killed.

As for the other contestants—such as No. 6 Daisy, etc., also found three or two right.

Among all the contestants, only Gu Zhisang answered specifically correctly.

She marked the precise location of the incident on the question board, as well as the corresponding depressive past of each place.

For a moment, all the contestants looked in her direction, either appreciating or curious. Especially Xun Yiqing with a face full of disbelief.

Host Liu also murmured in his heart and said: “I want to interview Sangsang, why did you write down six events? The correct answer was provided by the headmaster of the household, Mr. Gao. Could it be that something happened in this villa in the past that he doesn’t even know about?”

He saw Gu Zhisang’s question board, besides the four, there were two more lines of writing.

‘Kitchen – a bad omen, disfigurement or disability. ‘

‘The storeroom—the yin energy is thick and purple, it should be poisoned and die. ‘

“I write it down because it happened. The connection between these two incidents and the headmaster of the household is very weak. The victim of this accident is indeed not his relative.” Gu Zhisang frowned slightly: “But didn’t the program team ask ‘What happened in this house?’? This is the problem with your topic settings.”

“That’s true. I didn’t remember it until I saw the answer written by Master Gu.” Gao Zhi pursed his lower lip and looked at Gu Zhisang with a complicated expression: “When I was young, there was a cook who had an accident in the kitchen. His skin was scalded by the splashing boiling water…”

After the accident, the Gao Family gave the cook a large amount of money for surgery and compensation, and the cook never came back to work after leaving.

As for the person who died of poisoning in the warehouse, it was not a human being, but a pet that Gao Zhi raised when he was young.

It died because it accidentally ate the poisoned cheese that the helper left outside the warehouse to poison rats. Gao Zhi was very sad at that time.

These things have long been forgotten by him under the impact of his family’s death.

“So that’s the case!” Host Liu nodded and said: “The bizarre events that happened many years ago have been revealed. Our contestants have completely different guesses. Mr. Gao, as the owner of this old house, what do you think? Which contestant’s answer satisfies you the most and is closest to the truth?”

Gao Zhi hesitated for a moment and said firmly: “I choose Master Gu, she has seen through everything here. As if she has experienced it personally, and there are even things that even I almost forget them.”

What he didn’t tell anyone was that after his parents set themselves on fire, his grandfather invited the Feng Shui Master who had set up the formation for the family to see him. The Feng Shui Master said that the person who was cursed and committed sins was his father!

Even his grandma’s accident, stumbling and falling down the stairs, and his mother burning to death, which was all because of his father’s evil doing.

At that time, Gao Zhi firmly refused to believe it. In his impression, his father was kind, smart, and capable. He was the pillar of the Gao family. He had nothing to say about his mother and sister’s accident. How could he be a vicious person?!

But after his younger sister and grandparents died one after another, and he has suffered many disasters over the years, he has no choice but to believe it.

Many times he wanted to ask his father in his dream. What did he do? Why did their house become like this?!

Gao Zhi has suffered for decades. But today, someone firmly told him that the perpetrator was not his father and that his family was murdered!

How can this make him not excited?

Host Liu said: “According to the accuracy of everyone’s answers and the choice of the headmaster of the household, Mr. Gao. Contestant No. 7, Gu Zhisang, will score 1 point.”

The program crew took a close-up shot of Xun Yiqing to capture his reaction.

[This is a bit too mysterious, Gu Zhisang has become a demigod!]

[Oh my gosh, Master Xun’s facial color looks like a pig liver in anger.]

Host Liu continued: “Our contestants each selected a special item. May I ask why contestant No. 10 chose this purple cup?”

Contestant No. 10 was a girl with a round face, who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, and her name was Xi Haihong.

She coughed lightly and said, “I am an impermanent person, and I can feel the yin energy lingering in the yang world. I can feel the yin energy of dead souls on this purple cup.”

Host Liu asked: “Is this cup yours, Mr. Gao?”
