Frightening Joke: Above the Mist-Chapter 15 Plan

Too many puzzles, fortunately, there's still enough time.

Bai Yanliang remembered clearly, the time limit for this task was seven days.

After seven days, even if they couldn't solve all the mysteries, as long as they were still alive, they could safely return to Fog Gathering.

"We must have missed a lot of key information. After lunch, let's take advantage of the daylight and continue to act separately," Xu Zhi'an said, pinching the bridge of his nose with some fatigue.

"Wait, there's one more thing I haven't said." Feng Xinghan quickly said, looking at his notebook.

"According to the Ying City Daily's report, Zhang Wen also published a message, set to be announced tomorrow. I used some means to get the news in advance."

Feng Xinghan didn't explain how he got this information, only looked at his notebook and said word by word: "Zhang Qiao."

He glanced at the four, closed his notebook: "The newspaper said Zhang Wen requested to publish the information about a woman named Zhang Qiao tomorrow, also a missing person notice."

"Zhang Qiao? Who is she?"

Li Yuejun's confusion was undisguised.

Not only her, the others were also in the same state.

Bai Yanliang pondered for a moment, finally deciding not to hide this information any longer.

So, he raised his hand and said, "I know."

"You?"

Everyone's eyes turned to him.

Bai Yanliang nodded in confirmation and said again, "I know Zhang Qiao. She is Ding Lei's sister-in-law, came to Ying City with her newlywed husband for their honeymoon recently, and then... she died."

"Died?!"

Xu Zhi'an widened his eyes, exclaiming in a hoarse voice.

"How do you know she died? Did you see her die with your own eyes..." Li Yuejun was about to continue speaking, but found Bai Yanliang was looking at her.

"Do you remember the ghost you saw?"

Bai Yanliang's tone was very calm, his attitude also very composed, but Li Yuejun felt a certain oppressive discomfort, and she nodded instinctively.

"What ghost?" The other three felt a little perplexed by Bai Yanliang and Li Yuejun's conversation, it seemed there was another ghost in this hotel?

"Zhang Qiao, she sleeps under my bed."

Bai Yanliang threw out another bombshell, nearly leaving everyone dumbstruck, with rapid breathing.

"You... what did you say?!"

Bai Yanliang did not answer this meaningless question, but instead spoke to himself:

"Earlier, I returned to the room where I had woken up, wanting to take a closer look at her appearance. Then I remembered her features, sketched them, and asked around in the hotel. The waiter told me she was Zhang Qiao, Ding Lei's sister-in-law."

"Wait! You mean... there's a ghost under your bed?" Feng Xinghan, usually a robust man, asked with some trembling in his voice, feeling a chilling draft down his back.

"Yes, Miss Li also saw it." Bai Yanliang nodded in confirmation and then looked at Li Yuejun.

Who knew, Li Yuejun was also staring fixedly at him at this moment, though her expression was filled with disbelief and fear.

"You... you went back to look for her? Just to see her face clearly?" Li Yuejun couldn't imagine what kind of situation it was to look for a ghost under one's bed; was he a madman?

Bai Yanliang nodded lightly, then shifted his gaze to Jiang Li and the other three: "These aren't important, what's important is her identity. She is Zhang Qiao, but... she's dead, now turned into a ghost hiding under my bed. So... what is the intention behind Zhang Wen publishing the missing person information? What is her relationship with Zhang Qiao? And... what role does Zhang Wen play in these two missing cases... no, accurately speaking, one murder case and one missing case?"

There's no denying, Bai Yanliang's analysis made sense, but it didn't prevent everyone from looking at him more and more strangely.

Bai Yanliang, deep in thought, apparently didn't notice this point. In fact, even if he did, he might not care.

"Alright, in that case, let's continue to act separately. Let's meet here at six in the afternoon, as for lunch, just deal with it casually. Time is pressing," Feng Xinghan said as he subconsciously glanced at Bai Yanliang. Seeing he didn't object, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and continued to speak to everyone, "That Boss Ding Lei hasn't shown up yet, according to the waiters, today is Sunday, Ding Lei won't come to work until tomorrow. He must have a lot of secrets on him."

Everyone nodded, finally calming down some of the strange emotions Bai Yanliang had brought to them.

As everyone gradually dispersed, Bai Yanliang suddenly called out to Li Yuejun.

"Miss Li, please wait!"

Li Yuejun looked back at him, slightly surprised, at the same time, Jiang Li, who was about to leave with her, also looked at Bai Yanliang.

"If possible, could you join me in acting this afternoon? I'm a newcomer, not quite clear on some things, if I accidentally touch some taboo..." Bai Yanliang seemed a bit embarrassed, speaking without daring to look into their eyes.

Li Yuejun felt a bit speechless inside.

Are you afraid of touching taboos? You even dared to look at a ghost closely, and now you start to be afraid?

But Bai Yanliang's words indeed made sense.

Li Yuejun, although a woman whose speech could be quite unpleasant, becoming increasingly eccentric and difficult, did not have a bad nature, thus she found herself in an awkward dilemma upon hearing Bai Yanliang's plea.

Jiang Li is a woman, so is she, going together had become an established tacit understanding.

Now to leave Jiang Li and go with Bai Yanliang? Li Yuejun found it difficult.

In fact, although she had a great figure and was fairly pretty, she wasn't a popular woman; today's situation was the first time Li Yuejun had encountered such a scenario.

"Miss Jiang, is it okay?"

While Li Yuejun was still hesitating, Bai Yanliang surprisingly directed his questioning gaze at Jiang Li, something Li Yuejun didn't expect at all.

Moreover, this clearly surprised Jiang Li as well.

She glanced at Bai Yanliang without saying a word, turned, and left, though her silhouette seemed a bit awkward...

Bai Yanliang watched Jiang Li walk away silently, finally smiling at Li Yuejun: "Miss Li, shall we go?"

Li Yuejun was not stupid; at this moment, she finally understood Bai Yanliang's intention.

She nodded, feeling a strange curiosity and was about to ask something, but Bai Yanliang spoke first.

"Miss Li, have you been acting with Miss Jiang the whole time? Never separated halfway?"

Li Yuejun paused, and following Bai Yanliang's question, she recalled seriously. Indeed... they seemed to have been acting together the whole time.

Bai Yanliang, seeing her expression, suddenly smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the first time I saw Miss Jiang Li, I mistook her for a man, but not this time; regardless of her behavior, she seemed more like a carefree girl now."

Li Yuejun's expression changed upon hearing this, cold sweat oozed from her forehead as she stopped and looked at Bai Yanliang: "I remember now, when we were waiting for the elevator on the top floor, she went to the bathroom and quickly returned."
