Yuqing took her bag and found an old wooden chair to sit down on. She raised her hand to accept the tea handed to her by Qiu Sheng.

"Thanks."

"You can say it now."

"However, if you don't believe what I say next, just think that I'm telling a ghost story."

"A ghost story?"

Fatty immediately patted Qiu Sheng's arm, pretending to be relaxed and twitching the corners of his mouth.

"Master, your strength."

"Girl, please tell me, can we listen to it as a ghost story first and light some candles?"

"ha?"

Yuqing was stunned, watching Qiu Sheng magically holding a candle and pressing the switch of the detective agency. The candlelight reflected her surprise.

"Master, you know your stuff, Yuqing, you can tell me."

Fatty nodded approvingly.

Seeing this, Yuqing rubbed her fingers, kept looking at the candlelight, and began to recall that strange thing.

"I have a friend who works in a haunted house. The night before yesterday, he was locked in a secret room by a colleague as a prank. He waited until 12 o'clock to find the key to open the door in the red alarm clock. When he returned home nearby, he saw a dilapidated wooden house.

There is light."

"Ahhhh..."

"Master, stop shouting."

The fat boy looked at the top-notch acting with an indifferent look on his face, and he opened his mouth and shouted for help.

"Are you sure you don't want to add some sound effects?"

"I don't need your magic blessing, master. It's already scary enough. Yuqing, this really sounds like a ghost story. Please use a normal tone. The weather... is a bit cold to begin with."

Fatty tugged on his coat pretending to be casual.

"Okay, I'll try to adjust it."

Yuqing took a deep breath and recalled it again.

"This friend of mine likes to scare people, so he is very courageous. He approached the window and suddenly saw a glowing face, like a face illuminated by a flashlight."

"Isn't that a thief?"

"I thought so too. Later, my friend called the police and woke up the old man who was sleeping in the wooden house in the middle of the night. He searched the whole house and found nothing. He was also scolded."

"Does that wooden house have a back door or a hole or something?"

"Probably not. Later my friend apologized and went home, but when we passed by him the next day, the same thing happened again."

"So mysterious, really mysterious."

Fatty's hands couldn't help but grasp Qiu Sheng's sleeves. Fatty became nervous and pulled Qiu Sheng over. Qiu Sheng was tightened by the collar and felt like he was out of breath.

"Fat boy, relax a little, relax a little, I'm going to ascend to heaven."

"Oh, I wanted to pull a tissue to wipe my sweat, but I pulled it wrong, I pulled it wrong."

Fatty Suit calmly took out a tissue and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead.

"Ahem, Miss Yuqing, has your friend seen the same glowing face two days in a row?"

"Um."

"The expression on that face hasn't changed?"

Yuqing shook her head, not knowing how to answer Qiu Sheng's question.

"Probably not. I don't know. When he wanted to take a photo, the window flashed and the face disappeared."

Fatty poured himself a glass of hot water, billowing green smoke rose into the sky, and the glass he touched in his palm gave off a reassuring warmth.

"Wait a minute, there's only one old man in the whole house. Is he trying to scare people?"

"!"

Listening to Fatty's reasoning, Yuqing and Qiu Sheng looked at him at the same time.

"Why, why are you looking at me like this and not saying anything."

"Fat boy, I am an old man and I go to bed very early. How can I have so much free time?"

"He doesn't have to be scary. He went to the toilet without turning on the light. Can't he use a flashlight?"

"sure."

Fatty never thought that Qiu Sheng would confirm his reasoning.

"Master, do you think so too?"

"The old man went to the toilet with a flashlight. He happened to see a young man who was getting off work late passing by. He thought it was a thief, so he took the flashlight and shined it outside. Later, the young man looked at the door, and he moved to the window to be on guard. Unexpectedly, two people..."

"Looking at each other head on? This reasoning sounds very unreasonable." Fatty shook his head violently.

"It seems to make sense."

"Yuqing, do you believe it?"

"Shouldn't I believe it?"

"But didn't your friend call the police later? If it was a mistake, the old man would definitely stop it. Wasn't the old man woken up in your story?"

"Yes, Fatty, what you said makes sense."

Yuqing subconsciously leaned towards Fatty's view.

Unwilling to admit defeat, Qiu Sheng raised two fingers.

"There are two possibilities now. Either the glowing face is the old man's, or it's someone else who caused it."

"Maybe it's 79 again."

"79? What is 79?"

Yuqing picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, looking at Fatty and Qiu Sheng with round eyes.

Qiu Sheng listened to Yu Qing's confused questions and mentioned a few words in a light tone.

"A person who scares others in order to gain something."

"Sounds like... intimidation."

Yuqing's words stunned the two men present, and Qiu Sheng suddenly smiled.

"Who knows, if it's 79, just go to the cabin and check."

Fatty shivered.

"Go now? At this point...if I'm not scared to death, I'm going to be cold to death."

"But, I'm afraid we can only verify tonight whether this incident was caused by 79."

"Oh, 'Wolf'! It's the third time tonight."

"But my friend has already gone home. He was afraid of encountering such strange things again, so he took a different route tonight."

"Then we have to go take a look. I want to see if these weird phenomena can only be seen by specific people."

"Master, are you serious? What's the temperature today? It's so cold outside. By the way, is that old man warm enough? Do you want to buy him two new quilts and take them over?"

"Fat boy..."

Yuqing's lowered eyebrows subtly raised, and when she looked at Fatty, she felt some inexplicable admiration.

"Okay, if the old man is fine, I will leave it at the door."

Fatty stretched out his hand and shook it.

"It's okay if we go. You should stay at home and wait for news. If you don't come back, your parents should be worried."

"Yes, I forgot."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuqing received a call from her parents to report that she was safe.

"I'm going back, right away. Sorry, you two, I'll leave first."

"Remember to report that you are safe when you go home."

"Okay, I'll bring you my uncle's address."

Holding the cold mobile phone with red fingers, when Yu Qing walked out of the detective agency, she raised her head and was very surprised by the falling snow under the night sky.

It almost never snows here. The last time we saw snow was several years ago.

"It's snowing."

She reached out her hand in surprise, touched this unexpected romance, and walked home slowly with the bright lights.

Qiu Sheng and Fatty in the detective agency have reached a certain impasse.
