Chapter 145 Solving Cases with Metaphysics, Even Dogs Wouldn't Believe It

Seeing Yu Zhiyi's departing figure, Lord Sun thought for a moment and followed her.

He wanted to see what tricks Yu Zhiyi could pull.

Solving cases with metaphysics?

Believe it or not, he certainly doesn't.

After reviewing the case file, Yu Zhiyi asked for Old Man Wang's birth date and time.

Old Wang was a victim.

After calculating for a moment, her face fell.

"What's wrong with Physician Yu? Why does his face look worse the more he calculates? Could it be that he can't calculate it at all?"

Lord Sun is being sarcastic and unsettling.

Yu Zhiyi ignored him and looked at Lord Peng beside her: "I know who the murderer is, and the evidence has been found."

In another house more than ten miles away from Old Wang's courtyard, a young man was holding a handkerchief.

The handkerchief was yellowed and stained; it looked disgusting.

Even if an ordinary person didn't vomit, they would at least look away and dare not look for too long.

The young man seemed oblivious to the disgust, rubbing his face against the handkerchief with a lewd smile.

"Juan'er, I've already killed that troublesome old man."

"You'll definitely come back to me, right!"

"Don't worry, I'll be back to find you soon."

Old Wang's two daughters' husbands were both in Beijing, one in the east of the city and the other in the west.

In the west of the city is the second daughter, Wang Chunjuan.

Wang Chunjuan got married three years ago and is now a mother of two.

Her husband's family treated her quite well, especially after she gave birth to her youngest son. They spoiled her rotten. In the past two years, she didn't have to do anything except take care of the children. Her life was much smoother than when she was at her parents' home.

Because her father didn't work at her parents' home, all the household helpers were her and her older sister.

Later, when her older sister got married, the work fell to her.

Her father was a scoundrel, and a scoundrel who was very good at pretending to be one. Outsiders all thought he was a good person, but only she and her two children knew that he would beat people every day after drinking.

Her family had a large yard, with the house located in the middle. If they closed the door and gagged her mother, even if her mother was beaten half to death, the neighbors wouldn't know.

The neighbors would only see that her mother wouldn't go out to buy groceries for the next few days, but instead her father would go to the market carrying a grocery basket.

When the neighbors asked, her father would say that he felt sorry for her mother taking care of the children and wanted to help her share the burden.

So the neighbors would all praise her father as a good husband and a good father.

No one knew that this "good husband" and "good father" was actually a devil.

He's a devil who beat her mother to death!

At that time, she and her sister were still young. Their father threatened them that if they dared to report to the authorities, he would beat them to death as well.

The two sisters were both heartbroken and frightened, and indeed neither of them dared to report it to the authorities.

For two whole years after her sister got married, she lived in dire straits.

Fortunately, it's all over.

Her father died.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out from outside the courtyard.

It was a very strange sound, like a bird's call, but unlike a bird's clear and melodious sound, it was rough and unpleasant to hear.

Wang Chunjuan's expression changed slightly. She glanced at her daughter playing not far away and her son in the cradle. Seeing that her daughter did not notice anything unusual and there was no danger in the yard, she lifted her foot and walked outside.

"Juan'er, come with me!"

Li Guangzhu walked out from the corner and hugged Wang Chunjuan tightly.

Wang Chunjuan shoved Li Guangzhu forcefully: "Brother Guangzhu, are you crazy?"

Li Guangzhu's face was contorted with madness: "Juan'er, your father is dead. No one in this world can get in our way anymore!"

Wang Chunjuan said sadly, "Brother Guangzhu...it won't work! It won't work!"

Li Guangzhu's face froze: "Why? Didn't you say that you would come with me as long as your father didn't object? Now that your father is dead, he can no longer object to us."

As if he had just realized something, his eyes instantly turned frantic: "Are you lying to me? Or have you changed your mind?"

“No…” Wang Chunjuan shook her head, her face full of pain: “I didn’t lie to you, and I didn’t go back on my word.”

“But Brother Guangzhu,” Wang Chunjuan said, tears streaming down her face, “I am, after all, my father’s daughter. He is dead, and I should observe mourning for him. At the very least, I should observe mourning for three years.”

“If I leave at this critical juncture, my father will never forgive me.”

"Moreover, the murderer has not yet been caught, and I hope that this case can be solved as soon as possible to comfort my father's spirit in heaven."

Li Guangzhu stared at her intently, unsure whether she believed his story.

Wang Chunjuan felt that the man's eyes seemed to have become somewhat frightening.

She was a little scared.

Just then, her husband returned, calling her name: "Juan'er? Juan'er?"

Wang Chunjuan felt like she had been granted a pardon and gave Li Guangzhu a push: "Brother Guangzhu, you go first. Tonight, after I've settled everything at home, I'll go with you, okay?"

"Really?" Upon hearing that she would come with him, Li Guangzhu's sinister expression vanished, replaced by pure joy.

Wang Chunjuan, suppressing her nausea, took his hand and said, "Brother Guangzhu, we grew up together, don't you trust me? Tonight, I'll definitely go with you!"

"After all, we need money to leave Shengjing. I need to go back and get some silver."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Li Guangzhu looked at her intently: "Juan'er, don't let me down."

No, it won't.

Night fell quickly.

In the early hours of the morning, Wang Chunjuan nudged her husband beside her. Seeing that he was fast asleep, a glint flashed in her eyes. She got out of bed, dressed, and took a package from the closet.

She didn't open the package to check it, which shows that the package had been prepared in advance.

As night deepened, she pushed open the courtyard gate and quickly found Li Guangzhu hiding in the shadows.

Li Guangzhu also carried a package, but the package was strangely shaped. It didn't look like it contained clothes; instead, it looked like something long and thin.

Wang Chunjuan didn't think much of it and happily said, "Brother Guangzhu, let's go."

Before Wang Chunjuan came out, Li Guangzhu's expression was always very unpleasant, gloomy and ruthless.

Only when he saw her did the chilling ruthlessness dissipate, and he smiled: "Juan'er, I knew you wouldn't lie to me."

Wang Chunjuan smiled sweetly: "Silly boy, why would I lie to you?"

The first problem the two would face in order to leave Shengjing under the cover of night was the curfew.

The Imperial Guards patrol the capital from time to time. If anyone dares to wander around during curfew, they will be detained for a few days or even shot dead on the spot – this has been confirmed.

In order to avoid dying during curfew, the two decided to find a place nearby to spend the night and leave the city after dawn.

Li Guangzhu had no objection.

The two found an empty house nearby. After Wang Chunjuan found a place to sit down, she took out two pieces of pastry from her bag and handed one of them to Li Guangzhu: "Brother Guangzhu, you've been waiting for me for so long, you must be hungry, right? Here, have something to eat to fill your stomach."

As she spoke, she took a bite of the pastry in her hand.

Li Guangzhu, without suspicion, also opened his mouth.

I advise you not to eat it.

The sudden female voice startled the two of them.
