Chapter 147 Tracking Down the Murderer



The relatives and friends who came to attend the funeral were all accommodated in hotels in the town.

Sofia booked all the hotels in town.

Of course, those who are not injured are still staying in the hotel.

Those who were injured stayed in the hospital.

Sophia asked Cao Kun, "Should we go to the hotel first, or to the hospital first?"

Cao Kun: "Let's go to the hotel first."

“Okay.” Sophia took out a list: “The people on this list are all eligible to inherit my estate after my death.”

Cao Kun glanced at it and saw that the names, identities, and current hotel information of these people were clearly written on it.

Look at that delicate handwriting; it was actually written by Sofia herself.

Cao Kun: "Did you compile this yourself?"

Sophia: "No need to organize it. I've seen the booklet that Butler Os showed me, and I remember it all. I just need to write it down."

Cao Kun said with some surprise, "Now, I'm starting to believe that you can take on the responsibility of the Potter family."

The two went out, and Sofia drove herself.

In the car, Sophia said, "Master Cao Kun, I haven't thanked you yet, you saved my life again."

Cao Kun: "Yes, I hope there won't be a next time."

Sofia's eyes lit up as she asked, "Were you flying at the time?"

Cao Kun: "More or less."

Sofia exclaimed in surprise, "You can actually fly? You have magic?"

Cao Kun: "What I'm doing isn't magic, it's spells."

“They’re about the same.” Sophia was still in shock. “No wonder you’re so amazing. You can actually fly. That’s incredible.”

Master Cao Kun, you have truly opened the door to another world for me.

You are much, much more capable than I imagined.

Cao Kun remained silent.

Sofia then asked, "Can you teach me?"

Cao Kun: "No."

Sofia: "How much money do you want? I can give you anything."

In Sophia's view, all you need to do when you come to Cao Kun is spend money.

But this time, Cao Kun refused her: "This isn't about money."

Sofia: "100 million US dollars, is that okay?"

Cao Kun said with a stern face, "I don't want to say it a third time, this isn't about money."

Sophia realized that Cao Kun wasn't complaining about the money. She thought for a moment and said, "Is it because we're not close enough? Then how about I marry you and become your wife?"

Cao Kun, with a stern face, repeated his previous statement: "No."

Sophia was puzzled: "Why? Am I not pretty enough? Am I not in good enough shape? Once I inherit the Potter family's fortune, I will become one of the richest women in the world."

If you marry me, you'll have everything.

I don't understand.

Cao Kun said coldly, "Whether you can figure it out or not is none of my business. If you say another word, you can investigate this matter yourself."

Sofia was a little confused.

She didn't know why Cao Kun could turn on her so suddenly.

However, she wasn't angry.

After all, people with great abilities are bound to have certain privileges.

As they were talking, the car stopped outside a hotel.

The two entered the hotel, and Sofia prepared to pay and went to the front desk to get the key.

Cao Kun waved his hand: "No need, come with me."

The two arrived at the guest room in the backyard. Cao Kun took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, flicked his wrist, and several black shadows flew out and entered the room.

Although Sophia had seen it many times, she still found it amazing every time she saw Cao Kun controlling the undead, and her heart pounded.

This is a power that transcends reality and nature; it is a power that ordinary people cannot touch at all.

Especially after being rejected by Cao Kun, she realized even more how precious it was.

The lock turned, and a middle-aged man opened the door and appeared in the doorway.

His wife was also inside the house.

However, they all appeared to be out of their minds, with blank stares on their faces.

Cao Kun said to Sophia, "You can ask them now."

Sofia immediately asked, "Do you know who I am?"

The middle-aged man immediately replied, “Sophia Porter, my distant niece.”

Sofia then asked, "Are you involved in the cemetery explosion during the day?"

"Yes," the middle-aged man replied succinctly.

Cao Kun and Sophia were both surprised; they hadn't expected the first person to reap the rewards.

Sophia quickly asked, "What's the relationship?"

Middle-aged man: "My wife and I almost got hurt. I was terrified."

Is that all the relationship is?

Sofia wanted to swear.

She turned to look at Cao Kun.

Cao Kun coughed and said, "Strictly speaking, there's nothing wrong with that. Next time, just ask them directly if they did it, instead of being so tactful."

Sophia thought about it and agreed. For someone who is mentally unstable, the more direct and accurate your questions are, the better.

Sofia mimicked her question, asking, "Did you and your wife know about the explosion beforehand? Did you do it?"

"I don't know, no." The middle-aged man answered again briefly and clearly.

Cao Kun: "You can ask his wife. Just because he doesn't know doesn't mean his wife doesn't know either. Some things don't require both people to know."

Sofia thought this made a lot of sense, and asked his wife the same question.

The result was the same.

"Let's go, next one." Cao Kun waved the Myriad Souls Banner, and several figures flew out from the two people's bodies and disappeared back into the Myriad Souls Banner.

The two of them collapsed to the ground and fell asleep again.

Cao Kun closed the door and walked into another room.

And so, the two of them went on to ask about their respective goals one by one.

Although the process was a bit tedious, the task itself wasn't difficult.

Three hours later, Cao Kun asked Sophia, "How many people are left?"

Sofia: "There are three more people."

Cao Kun: "Speed ​​up, what about the hospital?"

Before long, the last three people had finished asking their questions.

However, they were not the murderers.

Cao Kun laughed and said, "It seems I was right during the day. The murderer was staging a self-inflicted injury. He hid himself among the injured people."

Sofia exclaimed, "That's ruthless. She can really do that to herself."

Cao Kun: "To get a minor injury, have a limb amputated, and then gain a huge fortune. A year ago, I would have done the same."

Sofia wanted to ask why it was a year ago.

But Cao Kun had already turned around and gotten into the car.

She had no choice but to swallow her words and get into the car.

When the car arrived at the hospital, the two began a new round of questioning.

Since the injured were all in the hospital and gathered together, and the number of people was not large, the efficiency was much higher.

It took me three hours to ask all the people outside.

Now, it only took about twenty minutes to ask everyone.

but……

Sophia looked at Cao Kun with some skepticism: "Master Cao Kun, what kind of magic is this? Does it really work?"

"That shouldn't be the case," Cao Kun said, somewhat puzzled.

They questioned all the injured people.

Except for two people who are still in a coma and have not yet passed the critical period.

However, all these people said that they did not do it.

When possessed by a ghost, they are incapable of lying.

Unless, of course, they possess a special power that allows them to remain unaffected.

But Cao Kun had already seen that they were just ordinary people.

That's strange.
