Chapter 308 Murder Case

"This is really a misunderstanding!"

Lu Yu's words were very sincere at this moment.

"I was just doubting the effect of the talisman before, but now I think I did mess it up. You two are right to be angry. I apologize here!"

As he said this, he bowed deeply to Yun Qingqing again.

Zhiluo rolled her eyes, but when she received Yun Qingqing's look, she said nothing.

Mr. Lu said anxiously:

"You just said this girl can help us find our patronus?"

Compared to the unclear matter of treatment, what concerned him most was the broken statue and the decline of his family business.

Lu Yu immediately nodded in agreement:

"Yes, Dad, you don't know that Master Qingyun's Tianming Pavilion was started during your convalescence. Until now, it has helped many people solve various problems. Its reputation has spread throughout the Imperial Capital. It is really very effective!"

Then he turned to Yun Qingqing and said:

"Master Qingyun, my father has woken up now. Can you help us find our guardian angel?"

Yun Qingqing nodded and said:

"Of course you can. But to get the guardian spirit back, you have to start from how it was angered by you and left. The Lu family must correct their mistakes in front of it and sincerely ask for its forgiveness. Only then will it be possible for it to return to this mansion again."

"This..." Lu Yu was embarrassed, "But we didn't do anything. We don't know how we angered the guardian deity... How can we correct this?"

"Before the statue shattered, nothing really happened in this house?" Yun Qingqing looked at him sharply, "Do you want to think about it carefully?"

Lu Yu thought for a moment with an uneasy look on his face, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said:

"My father had been ill for some time at that time. It must have been because Chen abused my father and angered the guardian deity with her unfilial behavior!"

"Master, do we need to take Chen into custody and make her admit her mistakes and atone for her sins? Just tell us how to do it, and we will fully cooperate!"

Yun Qingqing curled her lips coldly:

"Let's put Chen's matter aside for now. Since you said you would fully cooperate, how about draining the water from the lotus pond in the mansion's garden and see what you can find?"

Lu Yu's expression suddenly froze.

"...Master, why did you suddenly mention the lotus pond? Does this have anything to do with the guardian spirit's departure?"

"Of course, don't you want to find your guardian angel? Then do as I say." Yun Qingqing said.

When Mr. Lu heard this, he immediately agreed:

"In that case, son, why don't you quickly arrange for someone to do as she asks!"

Lu Yu clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath to calm himself down and said:

"Dad, it's not that I don't cooperate, but have you forgotten? I specifically dug that lotus pond with the advice of an expert who understands Feng Shui."

"At that time, the master said that this pond is the key to the prosperity of the house and the family. We must not let the water in it dry up, otherwise good fortune will turn into disaster. It will not only be a matter of shrinking property, but also the safety of our Lu family will be in danger!"

"This..." After hearing what he said, the old man remembered that this was indeed the case. However, everything was handled by Lu Yu alone. This was the first time he heard the complete story.

Yun Qingqing said calmly:

"If the pool was really as useful as that so-called expert said, how could the eldest son of your Lu family have died of a sudden illness?"

"That's..." Lu Yu hesitated and tried to find some excuses.

But suddenly a servant came running over to tell him something and interrupted him.

"My lord, something bad has happened! The police are here! They rushed in without saying a word and are now in the backyard!"

"W-what?" Lu Yu was startled. "Why did the officials suddenly come?"

As they were talking, the sound of uniform footsteps was heard outside the door, and soon a group of people came in aggressively, wearing official uniforms.

The leader was tall and handsome, with dark skin. He took a quick look as soon as he entered the room and walked straight towards Yun Qingqing, clasping his fists and saying:

"Master, sorry for the wait."

Yun Qingqing nodded to Yan Haochu:

"You came a little late today."

Yan Haochu touched the back of his head and said with a smile:

"I was delayed by something. Actually, I was planning to go to Tianming Pavilion to ask for your help. Could you please go with me later?"

Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows:

"Okay, let's finish this matter quickly."

Yan Haochu felt relieved when he saw her agree, and immediately showed his badge to the Lu family father and son:

"Six Gates is investigating a case. Someone has reported that there is an old murder case in your mansion. Cooperate with the search immediately!"

Mr. Lu was so frightened that he almost passed out:

"How could it be! My Lord must have made a mistake. My Lu family has always been honest, how could we be involved in a murder case!"

Lu Yu's face turned pale and he denied it again and again:

"Sir, this is absolutely impossible! Someone must be jealous of our Lu family and deliberately slandered us! If you don't believe me, call the person who reported it here, and I can confront him face to face!"

"I was the one who sent people to report to the government." Yun Qingqing said neither lightly nor seriously.

The Lu family father and son shut up and stared at her with wide eyes.

Lu Yu's expression changed again and again, and finally turned into anger again, and said angrily:

"I originally respected your reputation as Master Qingyun, so I specially invited you to come to my house to help solve the problem. If you don't want to, it's fine, but why did you want to frame my Lu family to the government?"

Yun Qingqing looked calm:

"What I promised was to find the guardian deity of the Lu family, so this matter naturally counts. As for why I reported it to the police, it was of course because there was indeed an old murder case in this mansion. Whether it was out of conscience or out of my duty as a citizen of Daliang, I would report it to the police if I encountered such a thing."

"you……"

"Whether it is a false accusation or not, Master Lu should know it best. If you insist on saying that you are innocent, why not wait until the officials confirm that there is no problem with the lotus pond in the backyard before you speak."

Lu Yu's lips trembled, his expression changed several times, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay! Since you insist, let's go check the lotus pond!"

Under the supervision of the officials from the Six Gates, everyone in the Lu Mansion was brought to the lotus pond.

Even Mr. Lu was carried over by servants on a sedan chair.

The lotus pond was not very big, and Yun Qingqing did not insist on draining the water. She just sent a few officers to fish out the water from every pond.

Soon there was movement. An officer touched a foreign object and picked it up, and it turned out to be a human bone!

The officer was shocked and immediately called a few more people to come over to help with the salvage. The bones that had been found were thrown onto the shore, and Yan Haochu led the remaining officers to try to piece them together.

Everyone in the Lu family was shocked and frightened, and they kept shrinking back. Some of the timid concubines even had weak legs and had to be supported by others to stand steadily.

Some people even felt sick and muttered:

"Oh my god, this is too scary. I often feed the fish by this pond..."

Lu Yu's face changed drastically, and he shouted in horror and disbelief:

"I really don't know what's going on! My Lord, please believe me! There are so many people in the Lu Mansion, it must be a servant who did it secretly! It has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

Yan Haochu said coldly:

"Why are you in such a hurry? I will find out!"

It didn't take long to piece together a complete skeleton.
