Stimulated by the hot water, Wang Yanjun immediately came to his senses.
Realizing he had lost control of his emotions, he felt a chill run down his spine and turned to glare at Lan Aman:
"It was you who did this!"
Lan Aman's lips curled into a wicked smile, and suddenly a centipede emerged from her mouth, its countless legs waving near her lips.
Lu Qing felt a chill run down her spine; she hated centipedes and other insects with many legs.
"Brother, let's go out first!"
As soon as Lu Qing finished speaking, he quickly left, slamming the door shut, almost hitting his older brother who hadn't had a chance to get out yet.
Wang Yanjun seemed to have discovered something new and went out to ask with great interest:
"Girl, are you afraid of bugs?"
Lu Qing chuckled twice and touched his hair:
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I find it disgusting and don't like it getting close."
"Is that so?" Wang Yanjun smiled sinisterly, as if he was harboring some wicked scheme.
Gu Xicheng immediately gave him a warning look: "Brother!"
Wang Yanjun immediately stopped smiling and waved his hand to reassure him.
He wouldn't be stupid enough to scare Lu Qing with bugs, after all, Lu Qing could not only slap a bug to death, but also slap him to death.
“This Lan Aman’s Gu technique is superb. My brother almost fell for it when he was interrogating her!” Lu Qing said.
"It's alright! Anyway, she has already admitted that she killed Wan Junde, and the evidence chain is complete. We can just convict her directly."
As Wang Yanjun spoke, he began to put the documents away.
Lu Qing frowned slightly as he looked at Lan Aman. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized something and quickly asked his older brother:
"By the way! Lan Aman and Wan Junde have a child, do you know where he is?"
Wang Yanjun was shocked: "Do they have children? The information doesn't say anything about it!"
Lu Qing glanced at Lan Aman's face again, and she was certain that Lan Aman did indeed have a child.
“When Wan Junde was investigated, he had no children under his name, nor did Lan Aman,” Wang Yanjun said.
Lu Qing hurriedly asked Helian Shi, "Did you see the child when you arrested her?"
Helian Shi shook his head: "There is only her in the room, no child."
After a moment of silence, Lu Qing went back into the interrogation room and asked Lan Aman with a serious expression:
Where is your child?
Lan Aman sneered: "What child? I have no child!"
“Your face tells me that you have a child, and that this child was involved in the murder of Wan Junde. You wanted to protect him, so you deliberately got arrested, right?”
Lu Qing did not perform divination; he merely made a guess based on the information revealed by Lan Aman's facial features.
Sure enough, Lan Aman was no longer so calm after hearing these words.
"You're talking nonsense! I was the one who killed Wan Junde, what does that have to do with my daughter!"
"You admit you have a daughter!" Lu Qing frowned.
"So what? I was the one who killed her, it has nothing to do with her," Lan Aman said stubbornly.
"Lan Aman, have you thought this through? Your daughter is only three years old, right? Without her mother, do you think she can live a good life?"
Hearing Lu Qing's words, Lan Aman's eyes trembled slightly, but her resolve only grew stronger.
"Further words are pointless! I've already confessed to murder. Do whatever you want with me!"
Lu Qing, somewhat helpless, continued to persuade:
"Now that the Investigation Bureau knows you have a daughter, they will definitely not give up on finding her."
"If you tell the truth, I might be able to plead for your life and give you and your daughter a chance to live a good life."
“Even if you don’t tell me, I can probably figure it out, but the situation will be different then, and you may never see your daughter again.”
Lan Aman remained silent, not uttering a single word.
Seeing this, Lu Qing could only turn around and leave.
However, just as she was about to reach the door, Lan Aman called out to her:
"etc!"
Lu Qing stopped in his tracks, turned around, and asked:
Have you thought this through?
Lan Aman: "I can say, but you must guarantee that neither my daughter nor I will be in any danger."
“I promise!” Lu Qing said immediately.
Lan Aman took out a Gu worm from her sleeve:
“Your promises are not convincing. If you want me to believe you, let this Gu worm burrow into your body. If you break your promise, the Gu worm will immediately cause your intestines to rot.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Xicheng pushed open the door and went in:
"I'll do it!"
Before Lu Qing could stop him, Gu Xicheng grabbed the Gu worm.
The worm instantly bit a hole in the back of his hand and burrowed into his body.
"Gu Xicheng, are you stupid?!"
Lu Qing tried to use her Qi to force the Gu worms out of Gu Xicheng's body, but he stopped her:
"I'm fine! It didn't hurt much!"
Lan Aman sneered:
"It doesn't hurt much now, but if she goes back on her word, your fate won't be any better than Wan Junde's!"
"It's alright, Qingqing won't break her promise!" Gu Xicheng smiled as he looked at Lu Qing.
Lan Aman looked at the two of them, and the smile on her lips suddenly turned bitter.
"If Wan Junde had treated me half as well as you treated her, I wouldn't have killed him!"
Lu Qing glanced at Gu Xicheng, sighed, and asked:
"Where is your daughter now? Bring her here first!"
Lan Aman gave an address; it was a very remote place, a building of more than ten stories that was divided into densely packed rental rooms, like bird's nests.
This is the cheapest area in Kyoto, a mixed bag of people, crowded and chaotic.
Lan Aman chose this place because of this.
Wang Yanjun took Lan Aman over and finally brought the girl, who was unconscious in the room, out.
The moment Lu Qing saw the girl, she exclaimed in surprise:
She's been bewitched!
Lan Aman shook her head slightly: "She is not poisoned by Gu, she is Gu herself."
Helian Shi looked at the girl and slowly uttered three words: "Longevity Gu".
Lan Aman looked at him, scrutinized him for a moment, and then nodded:
"That's right! It's the Longevity Gu!"
"You actually used a curse on such a young child!" Wang Yanjun's face showed anger.
“It wasn’t that I wanted to turn her into a Gu, but I had to do it in order to keep her alive.”
Lan Aman held her daughter in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
“When I was pregnant with Nuonuo, Wan Junde was already having affairs. When I was five months pregnant, Wan Junde’s mistress actually bribed some thugs to make me have an abortion in order to force me to divorce him.”
“A Gu Master is most vulnerable when she is pregnant. My Gu techniques were not fully effective. Although I escaped, Nuonuo was still injured by them.”
"In order to protect Nuonuo, I had no choice but to use a secret technique to combine her with the Longevity Gu. As the name suggests, the Longevity Gu can grant immortality to those who are afflicted by it."
"Nono survived, but she became a born Gu child. She is the Longevity Gu, and the Longevity Gu is her."
“Even so, I am very happy. At least my daughter survived, and Wan Junde promised never to go out and mess around again.”
"For a period of time afterward, he really seemed like a different person. He was no longer surrounded by women and treated his daughter very well."
“I thought he had really changed for his daughter’s sake, but not long ago I discovered that Nuonuo always had big and small wounds on her body, and she was very weak and often sick.”
“I noticed something was wrong, so I secretly installed surveillance cameras at home. To my surprise, I discovered that Wan Junde was secretly drawing blood from Nuonuo every day.”
At this point, Lan Aman was almost choked up and unable to speak.
