"Come out. I want to talk."

It was a full minute before the ghost decided to walk through the wall and came to stand in the middle of the room, right over her death spot. 

She didn't say anything for the longest of whiles and Xiajun had started to worry that Zhaohui would return, so he decided to initiate conversation.

"Your name is," Xiajun remembered from the file he had read, "Miss Zeng Suyin?"

The ghost nodded and stared wide-eyed at Xiajun. "Y-you can see me?"

Her voice was a hoarse whisper, one that suited the dead.
Xiajun tried to hide the shiver that went down his spine.

"I can. In fact, I may be the only one to do so. My confrere will be back any moment now, so we must get this done with. There are some questions I'd like to ask you," Xiajun said as he pulled a pad and a pen out of his pant pocket. Miss Suyin remained silent.

"First of all," he said as he glanced over the ghost of the woman once, "who killed you?"

GHOST DETECTIVE: Li Xiajun

"Gangsters!?" Xiajun exclaimed. "Does everyone seriously think there's a gangster living within these walls?"

Shuchang shrugged as he poured more syrup over his omelet. "Personally, I think that's bullsh*t. I've known the old lady for a while and she doesn't look the type to just let whoever in. I mean, when I came here, she asked for all sorts of identification documents; I almost had a crisis."

Qiao Qiao laughed and slapped him on the back. "Good one! I remember how she wouldn't let me get past without letting her check my hair, since it being too big directly translated into me carrying bombs in it for her!" Then she laughed and laughed some more, as if she had said something really funny. Xiajun didn't have the heart to tell her how irritating she was.
