Chapter 174 A sudden fire



Su Lijin found out the murderer of Ye Shuyin, and the rumor that there was a witness spread.

After delivering the message, Su Lijin did not stay in the Dali Temple and wait for time to pass.

She frowned and thought for a moment, then turned and went to the room in the corner of the corridor.

There was the morgue where the bodies were kept.

Seeing this, Liu San, who was angry and resentful because of her previous words, snorted coldly. When he saw her figure entering the morgue, he looked away with a sneer.

But just as he turned away for a moment, he suddenly looked over again. The hatred that surged in his heart suddenly clouded his mind, and a sinister emotion suddenly flashed across his eyes.

Su Lijin walked into the morgue, where there were several bodies, and the bodies from other cases were also stored here.

Cases at the Dali Temple usually take some time to investigate, and some corpses will be temporarily stored here so that they can be inspected at any time.

She glanced at the other corpses covered with white cloth, and her eyes naturally fell on a charred corpse.

"Ye Shuyin..." Su Lijin looked at the corpse and sighed slightly.

Unexpectedly, the woman who had had unpleasantness with him in both the previous life and this life would be placed in the morgue of Dali Temple this time.

She gently lifted the white cloth. The clothes of the female corpse underneath were burnt and stuck to her body, and the original color could not be seen at all.

The corpse's mouth was wide open, its limbs were twisted, and its body was almost burned to charcoal, which shows how terrifying the fire was.

As she watched, Su Lijin seemed to hear the screams of a woman in the fire in her mind.

The maid's words also came to mind.

"The lady looked very happy..."

I guess you didn't feel the pain until the last moment.

Su Lijin shook off the chaotic thoughts in her mind and focused her attention on the case.

Although she already had evidence in her hands, she could use hallucinogens to identify Xiao Zhaolin.

However, Xiao Zhaolin was of prominent status and was the wise king of the current dynasty, so she was still a little unsure about overthrowing him.

She wanted to examine the body to see if she could find any other evidence.

The confrontation will take place tomorrow, so she needs to be fully prepared.

Concentrating her mind, Su Lijin focused on the investigation, carefully examining every detail of the corpse.

She was so focused that she didn't notice that there was a pair of hateful eyes staring at her outside the door.

As she checked, the door of the morgue moved quietly and closed gently.

Hearing a "click", Su Lijin was stunned and turned around suddenly, only to find that the door was closed.

"What's going on?" She walked to the door and reached out to push it, but the door didn't move.

It was locked!

Su Lijin frowned and knocked on the door: "Is anyone outside? There are people here, open the door quickly!"

However, there was no response.

She was anxious and thought quickly in her mind, trying to find a way out.

Outside the morgue, a figure smiled grimly, poured out the last bucket of oil, and threw the torch in his hand up with a smile.

puff!

The fire suddenly grew higher when it saw the oil, and instantly enveloped the morgue.

Oh no, there’s a fire!

Su Lijin was shocked.

The fire was so big that the air was filled with the smell of burning smoke. The temperature in the house rose instantly, and the flames jumped in, igniting the cloths, doors and windows inside!

Su Lijin covered her mouth and nose, gasping for breath, and shouted for help: "Help! There's a fire, help!"

However, no one came for a while.

Seeing the fire spreading rapidly from the door to the beams, almost burning her body, Su Lijin was choked by the thick smoke and her eyes were blurry. She frowned and asked, "Am I going to die here?"

She looked back at this place and suddenly felt a little powerless. The door was locked from the outside and she had no way to rush out.

Thick smoke penetrated into Su Lijin's lungs, making it difficult for her to breathe. She sat down on the ground somewhat exhausted. In the firelight, her consciousness became a little fuzzy, and she suddenly thought of Xiao Shengxing.

"I wonder if Xiao Shengxing will ever find out that his queen died in this morgue..."

She dressed as a man, pretending to be Jiang Bin. After being burned to death, her face was probably completely disfigured, and no one would know...

In despair, suddenly there was a noise from the roof.

Su Lijin raised her head with difficulty, and saw a big hole appear in the roof with a loud bang.

At the same time, a black figure fell from the sky and rushed directly into the fire.

"How are you?" the man frowned.

Su Lijin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Master Guyun?!"

At this moment, she knew that she was saved.

Seeing that she was still conscious and recognized him, Xiao Shengxing felt relieved. He picked her up, glanced at the scorching fire, and leaped out.

Only after they landed in a safe place did Xiao Shengxing let her go.

Su Lijin took a deep breath, and the fresh air entered her lungs. Only then did she feel like she was alive again.

"Master Guyun, thank you for saving my life."

She was grateful and said, "Today, you are my brother and I am my younger brother. How about I become your brother to repay you for saving my life?"

She wants to be on good terms with him?

Xiao Shengxing looked at the black and gray on her face. He wanted to laugh, but his face remained calm. "No need to thank me. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After making excuses with just one sentence, he left.

"Hey!" Su Lijin wanted to call him, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Jiang Bin! Are you okay?"

Jiang Su arrived late and saw Su Lijin standing not far away. She was in a dishevel but safe. He shouted and then quickly gave the other bucket to someone else.
