For some reason, the "511" case that she had previously discussed with Bo Yuting suddenly popped up in her mind. This case was very mysterious and there has been no breakthrough so far.
But this case does not fit what Zheng Mingxian said. It was caused by that group of forces in order to weaken their strength.
Zheng Mingxian continued, "In order to investigate this, I have already lost a lot of people in Shixing. I stopped because I don't want to suffer more losses. My father also told me before that since this group of forces is only active in the south, as long as they don't do too much, we will not interfere with them."
After that, he stood up and poured a cup of tea, pushed it towards Lin Wu to show his sincerity, and then said: "If Cheng Man hadn't asked about my pendant not long ago, to be honest, I might not have realized that they had infiltrated North City."
Cheng Man looked at Zheng Mingxian in astonishment. He obviously didn't expect this to happen. He couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you tell me before? If you had told me, I, Xuanmen, could investigate it together with you, Shixing."
Zheng Mingxian laughed and said, "Cheng Man, do you think your master and the others really didn't notice it?"
Cheng Man was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Zheng Mingxian said in a gentle voice: "In fact, when my father discovered this group of forces, he had already discussed it with the leader of Xuanmen. After that, he decided not to interfere with them. After all, they are too deep-rooted, and further investigation may not be a good thing."
"But the pendant made my father and your master realize that this group of forces might not want to coexist peacefully like we do. So after considering it, they thought that you and Daosheng were outsiders and should be unexpected by this group of forces. So they let you investigate without interfering and see how far you can find out."
"But I don't agree. I'm worried that you might find out too much and it might be dangerous." Zheng Mingxian's eyes moved from Cheng Man to Lin Wu. "So I'm waiting for Daosheng to come to me when he can't get any useful results from you. I want to test what abilities this famous Daosheng has and whether he can help you."
Lin Wu raised his eyebrows and asked, "It seems that you are very satisfied with the results."
Zheng Mingxian nodded slowly. "You were able to find out the information I had hidden from you and finally find me again, which shows that you are really amazing. I also reported it to my father and the leader of Xuanmen, so they sent Cheng Man here. I think with the two of you here, the situation we face will change."
Lin Wu's eyes changed slightly: "Do you have anyone in the hospital?"
Zheng Mingxian smiled: "Why do you think so?"
Lin Wu said, "I went to the hospital to check the surveillance. It was early in the morning. I received a message from Cheng Man in the morning saying that he was sent by Xuanmen. In such a short time, you knew that I would find you here, which means you have someone in the hospital who knows what I did."
Zheng Mingxian was silent for a moment, then said, "You call the other person on duty at the hospital morgue. He is the person I planted."
"What do you want to do with this person?" Cheng Man asked doubtfully.
Zheng Mingxian tilted his head to look at him and explained, "I think the death of the fake Zhang Yuge is too strange. The police station placed him in the morgue, which is too unusual. Rather than passively waiting for the next move of the person behind the scenes without any clues, it is better to take the initiative to force him to reveal his true colors. So I bribed the people in the hospital and replaced the body of the fake Zhang Yuge."
"Since the fake Zhang Yuge is in the hospital, it must be his allies who did it. Maybe they have other purposes? In this case, his allies will definitely go to the hospital to look for the fake Zhang Yuge. Once they see that the fake Zhang Yuge's body is missing, they will definitely panic, knowing that someone has discovered their activities, and will reveal their flaws in a hurry."
"Is the fake Zhang Yuge really dead?" Lin Wu asked.
Zheng Mingxian said: "Yes, and no."
Lin Wu: “What do you mean?”
Zheng Mingxian was silent for a moment, then he stood up and said, "You guys should go with me to take a look."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked to the shelf on the wall where antiques were placed. He turned an antique vase on it, and the shelf split in the middle and moved to both sides, revealing a secret door at the back.
The secret door opened, revealing a secret passage leading downwards.
Zheng Mingxian turned around and looked at Lin Wu.
Lin Wu pinched her fingertips, stood up and followed, and Cheng Man also hurriedly stood up and followed in.
As soon as you enter the secret passage, you can feel the chill inside. Going down the stairs to the bottom, you can see a dark room. It is empty except for a very rare ice coffin in the middle.
Lin Wu walked over quickly, and the person lying in the ice coffin was the fake Zhang Yuge who appeared in Sheng Gui. However, at this moment, his whole body was blue and purple, his body was swollen, and black blood was flowing from his seven orifices.
Zheng Mingxian took out his phone, pulled out a video and handed it to Lin Wu, "Take a look."
Lin Wu took it, and Cheng Man also moved over curiously.
The video takes place in this dark room, and the protagonists are Zheng Mingxian and the fake Zhang Yuge in the ice coffin.
However, the fake Zhang Yuge inside was actually awake, begging Zheng Mingxian to save him, saying that Leng Linfeng wanted to kill him to silence him. But when Zheng Mingxian asked why Leng Linfeng wanted to kill him, the fake Zhang Yuge suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood and fell to the ground with convulsions all over his body.
"When I took him to the hospital, he was indeed still alive. I think someone must have given him a drug that could make him appear dead in advance. After I came back, I tried to wake him up, but before he could say a few more words, he died. I asked someone to check and found that he died of poisoning." Zheng Mingxian said.
Cheng Man was shocked and said, "He had conspired with the young master of the Leng family, but he was not an important person. Did the young master of the Leng family kill him just to be on the safe side?"
"That should be it." Zheng Mingxian analyzed, "In the current North City, the only people who know what they are plotting are this person and Leng Linfeng himself. He is dead, and Leng Linfeng has a special identity. I guess no one would want to offend him and force him to question him, so the matter will naturally come to nothing."
Cheng Man said angrily: "He is too lawless to take human life lightly!"
"Leng Linfeng may have allies." Lin Wu suddenly said.
Zheng Mingxian and Cheng Man both looked at her and saw Lin Wu checking the person in the ice coffin and turning the person over.
"Come and see."
Lin Wu pointed at the back of the man's neck, where there was a black plum blossom mark the size of a fingernail.
Lin Wu said, "I have seen this man's death by chance before. I was on a business trip and met a middle-aged man with extremely powerful skills in the ghost street in the capital. He wanted to offer a funerary object and asked my people if they would accept it. My people couldn't make a decision, so they reported it to me."
"But the artifacts he brought were probably not clean, so someone coveted them and took advantage of them. I also had my eyes on his artifacts, and when I led people to rescue him, I saw him dead in this state."
"And on the palm of his hand, there was the word 'Huo' written in blood."
