Chapter 19
Su’s Old Courtyard was completely leveled, and the osmanthus tree that had witnessed so many schemes and deaths was cut down and burned.
On the original site, a Loyal Martyr Shrine was built.
Inside the shrine, Xu Minghao’s memorial tablet was enshrined.
Xiao Zhang and I were commended by the Imperial Court for our contributions in solving this case.
But whenever the night grows deep and silent,
I always think of Xu Minghao, a man with whom I never exchanged a single word.
I think of everything he had already planned…
Ghosts are not frightening.
What is truly terrifying is the calculation and cruelty hidden deep within the human heart.
And even more frightening than a poisonous heart is the silent sacrifice of a hero.
He knew the outcome long before, yet still chose to go.
I have been a Constable for twenty years and have solved countless cases.
But this “Qinglan Ghost Manor Case”
is one I will remember for the rest of my life.
