Chapter 23: Let's Make the Best of It
This decadent image is in stark contrast to his usual image of being high and mighty and wearing priestly robes.
After Bai Mu appeared in front of everyone, everyone's complaints quickly disappeared.
Some people even looked at Bai Mu with some sympathy.
Although Bai Yu is a bastard and has a bad character, it is still a human life after all.
The body is incomplete, which is pitiful.
After all, who doesn’t have a child? How can parents not be heartbroken when their child dies?
Forget it, since Bai Mu wants to investigate, just cooperate with him.
Yunzhi keenly noticed the changes in the attitudes of the people around her.
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart.
What a clever move.
It was so easy to move everyone's emotions.
Turn complaints about him into sympathy.
Bai Yu said, "Everyone, I'm sorry to bother you all to come here. My son Bai Yu was murdered in the middle of the night. As a father, I really can't help but seek justice for him."
Bai Mu's eyes turned red as he spoke. "I originally thought my son's death was caused by carelessness, but not long ago, I used a tortoise shell to divine, and the hexagram showed that my son's death was not simple, and the murderer was in the tribe."
After saying that, Bai Mu glanced around at everyone.
"Of course, you don't have to worry. I wouldn't wrongly accuse a good person. Now I just hope you can help me find the murderer so that my son can rest in peace."
"What should we do, White Priest, tell me."
"We will cooperate with you."
"Yes, yes, just tell me."
Bai Mu asked someone to bring up a dog.
The dog walked very slowly, and even looked at everyone like a human, with a bit of contempt.
Many people were amazed at how this dog looked so human.
Bai Mu looked at the dog and said, "I've raised this dog with various herbs since it was young. Its sense of smell is so sharp that it can even find things that have been buried for days. It can even tell who my son had close contact with with just one sniff."
Bai Mu's eyes were filled with ruthlessness: "Whoever carries the strongest scent of Bai Yu is the murderer of Bai Yu."
He took out a piece of clothing and put it under the dog's nose. After the dog sniffed it, he said to the dog, "Ah Fu, go find someone who has the same smell as this piece of clothing."
Ah Fu sniffed the clothes, then quickly raised his head and walked leisurely among the crowd.
Those who don’t know would think it is patrolling like an emperor.
Yunzhi watched quietly as the dog got closer and closer to her step by step.
Her heart slowly rose.
And sweat was already breaking out on Liu Aya's forehead.
What to do, what to do.
Bai Yu and Yun Zhi had contact a few days ago.
What if the dog comes over and bites Yunzhi?
Then Yunzhi will have to take the blame.
Liu Aya racked her brains, trying to help Yunzhi find a way to escape.
Yunzhi watched Ah Fu's head turn a few times with an expressionless face, and suddenly his dark eyes turned to her.
It was like finally finding the target.
Ah Fu suddenly started barking "Wang Wang Wang", and the sound shook the entire square.
The cry was extremely cheerful, it seemed that Ah Fu had found someone.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ah Fu. They saw that Ah Fu's four legs, which had been walking slowly, suddenly started to run. The whole dog rushed straight towards Yun Zhi and the group of people like an arrow.
The dog opened its mouth wide, revealing its sharp white fangs, ready to bite off a piece of human flesh.
Just as Ah Fu was about to rush to Yunzhi's legs.
Everyone's eyes also stayed on Yunzhi and the people on her left and right.
Who among them killed Bai Yu?
Just when everyone thought that Ah Fu would bite the murderer's leg and drag him out.
Suddenly, Ah Fu seemed to be frightened by something. The originally majestic big dog quickly closed its mouth and whimpered in grievance once, twice, and three times.
Wolf King!
It's the breath of the Wolf King!
Ah Fu's innate submission to the Wolf King from generation to generation made him tremble with fear.
Then it turned into a frost-bitten eggplant, lying on the ground and whimpering constantly, as if begging for mercy.
This scene caught everyone off guard. What was Ah Fu doing?
"Afu, what are you doing? Have you forgotten what I taught you?"
Bai Mu's eyes turned red with anxiety. "Bite that person out for me! Quickly!"
Ah Fu seemed not to receive the signal. He turned around and looked left and right like a headless fly.
"Come on! What the hell are you doing?"
Bai Mu roared angrily.
Ah Fu was so scared that he turned around and ran back frantically, but met Bai Mu's bloodthirsty eyes again.
Ah Fu was so scared that he took a few steps back, then closed his eyes and bit the leg of the person closest to Bai Mu.
"Ah!" The man screamed and quickly kicked Ah Fu away.
Ah Fu was also very scared, and he ran away to hide somewhere without knowing where.
This scene almost made everyone's jaw drop.
Because the person who was bitten was none other than the clan leader Lu Kui.
So, the person who has the scent of Bai Yu is Lu Kui?
The person who killed Bai Yu was none other than Lu Kui?
This is ridiculous!
Lu Kui's face was extremely gloomy, and the bite wound on his leg was aching slightly.
He is a supernatural being, and he can avoid a dog no matter what.
But he had not expected that Ah Fu's dog would bite people so suddenly and randomly.
So he didn't have time to dodge.
I saw that the square was already in chaos.
Everyone's eyes turned towards Lu Kui and changed.
Lu Kui's expression turned even uglier. He explained, "There's something wrong with this dog. I've barely even seen him, so how could I possibly smell like Bai Yu?"
"What motive did my father have to kill? This damn dog was just biting people randomly!"
Lu Xingchi lost his temper and was the first to jump out and curse: "Priest Bai, this is the good dog you raised. I think you deliberately ordered it to do this!"
Bai Mu also didn't expect that Ah Fu was suddenly irritated for some reason and bit Lu Kui.
Lu Kui is not a fool. No matter how much conflict he has with Bai Yu, he would not be so impulsive as to kill Bai Yu in secret.
However, Lu Kui has now aroused everyone's suspicion, and most people don't believe what he says.
A dark thought suddenly flashed through Bai Mu's mind.
It’s better to just go with the flow and throw a basin of dirty water on Lu Kui.
Lu Kui is a hypocrite who loves to act. Even if we fail to frame him, it would be good to tear off his fake skin.
So, Bai Mu did not defend Lu Kui, but instead took a few steps back, looking at Lu Kui with eyes flashing with grief, shock, and disbelief.
He roared at the top of his lungs, "Lu Kui, it turns out you killed my son!"
