After some back and forth, Fang Duobing revealed the criminal token of Baichuan Academy, and Yu Hongzhu stopped talking and granted them a day to solve the case.
If it weren't for the need to avoid alarming Baichuan Academy and the imperial court, why would she have chosen to endure it!
"Ugh! Ugh~" As soon as Li Lianxin entered, she felt nauseous and started vomiting. If the bloody smell earlier had made her feel nauseous, now her stomach was really churning. It was so smelly that she felt like she was going to ascend to heaven!
Li Lianhua quickly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and gently covered her nose. The medicinal smell on it neutralized the smell in the room. Li Lianxin took the handkerchief and went to wait at the door. This place was really not suitable for humans, not even foxes!
Li Lianhua turned to look at Fang Duobing, who was also feeling nauseous, and said with disgust, "With your condition, you're supposed to be a criminal investigator? You can't even handle this little situation. You should go home as soon as possible."
"Ugh~, why are we being treated differently! Madam Li is the same as me!" Fang Duobing's mind was in a mess, and he spoke without thinking, just blurting things out.
“My wife is different since she’s not a detective. Besides, you’ve already said she’s Mrs. Li. Why would I compare myself to you when I’m good to my own wife?”
Fang Duobing was stunned. It seemed right. How could he have said that?
Thinking that Li Lianhua was a doctor, she covered her nose and asked, "Is the smell so strong because the corpse was burned?"
"The smell of burnt grease isn't like that either. What's strange is that in just one day, the body has decomposed so quickly. The meridians in the neck are intact, without any pressure or damage." Li Lianhua glanced at it and realized that the body was decomposing much faster than expected.
I've already told Lianxin that Yu Qiushuang is long dead. But everyone at the inn saw Yu Qiushuang walk in by herself. It seems I'll have to go to the inn and check.
After searching and discussing, the two found a useful clue: Yu Qiushuang had been struck by someone with internal force, so why would they need to use golden needles?
[Tch! It was killed by two people: one was the slap from her fiancé, and the other was the golden needle that her brother-in-law stabbed into her heart.]
Yu Hongzhu himself was unaware that his sister had seen him with Zongzheng Mingzhu. Crucially, when he struck out with his palm, he never expected it would hit Yu Qiushuang.
Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing handed over the clues they had found to Yu Hongzhu. Upon learning about the golden needles and having them investigated, Yu Hongzhu was immediately enraged. She led her men to Yun Jiao's residence; had Fang Duobing not stopped her, citing Li Lianhua's intention to heal Yun Jiao, she would have been killed.
Yun Jiao will probably have to die on the spot.
After Yu Hongzhu left with his people, the two people and the fox returned to Xiaomian Inn. After confirming that no one was around, Li Lianxin said, "Lianhua, the Yu Qiushuang we saw in the inn was actually Yun Jiao."
Fang is sickly: !!!
He naturally wouldn't doubt what Li Lianxin said, after all, they were on the same side now.
Li Lianhua reached for a cup, handed it to Fang Duobing, and said, "Smell it."
"Pockmarked"
Li Lianhua nodded. "As Lianxin said, the water in this shop is mixed with raw hemp seeds so that people are slightly drunk and can't see people clearly. This makes it easier for Yun Jiao to switch the veil off. Once the veil is removed, everything will fall into place."
Humans might get tipsy from drinking this water, but foxes won't.
These words deeply moved Fang Xiaobao. Although they were all in the same boat, Madam Li's directness in stating such an important matter, completely disregarding his presence, truly moved Fang Xiaobao to tears.
Purely a self-serving scheme. If he weren't already Li Lianhua's wife, he wouldn't have gone so far as to steal her away; he might have actually considered pursuing her. Sigh~
Li Lianhua led Fang Duobing in searching for clues at the inn, while Li Lianxin poked Xiao Kou on the other side, asking, "Xiao Kou, where exactly is the Forget-Me-Not Flower?"
