Everyone covered their mouths and noses; the smell was simply too pungent, even more unbearable than snail rice noodles or stinky tofu.
How could a young woman's bed smell like this? How many years has it been since she last showered?
Feng Wan'er's face turned ashen, and she looked at Lin Yu with a mixture of shame and anger. She couldn't understand why Lin Yu had done this.
Lin Yu said calmly, "I've seen your strange illness before. You're born with a foul odor. However, your illness is caused by a problem with your family's bloodline. The murderer took advantage of this to frame you for Tantai Lin's death!"
Lin Yu looked around and continued, "The incense can mask Feng Wan'er's stench, and Feng Wan'er's stench can mask the evil and corrupting aura in Liu Huan's body. In this way, the murderer can frame Feng Wan'er for Liu Huan's death!"
Hearing this, Tang Peng seemed to understand something and said, "So, as long as Liu Huan's body is moved out separately, everyone can detect the smell of decay?"
Everyone suddenly realized that the Emperor's step-by-step, detailed explanation was to clarify the murderer's intentions. Simply taking Liu Huan's body out would not prove Feng Wan'er's innocence.
Tang Peng waved his hand and immediately ordered his men to take Liu Huan's body outside.
Feng Xiaotian told Feng Wan'er to leave, because the incense and odor emanating from her would confuse people.
Sure enough, without Feng Wan'er, a faint stench emanated from Liu Huan's body.
It smells like rotten eggs.
Lin Yu said calmly, "This woman was immoral and had relationships with countless men. Her reproductive tract was already decaying, and before her death, she was invaded by evil techniques, so it's inevitable that she would emit this gynecological odor. This is the karmic consequence of her wickedness, planting the seeds for hell! The person who killed her to silence her didn't expect Liu Huan to have this smell, so in their haste, they could only try to cover it up, and Feng Wan'er's strange illness undoubtedly became a suitable cover-up! Therefore, it can be deduced that the person who put Liu Huan's body in Feng Wan'er's room was definitely someone who knew Feng Wan'er well!"
Lin Yu looked at Feng Xiaotian and said, "Patriarch Feng, you should examine yourself!"
"You mean, there's a traitor in our Feng family?" Feng Xiaotian frowned deeply.
Within the Feng family, very few people knew about Feng Wan'er's strange illness, and those who were close relatives were all close to him. He couldn't understand who would betray his second daughter.
“It might not be an inside man!” Lin Yu shook his head. “As the saying goes, cleverness can backfire. The person who put the body in Feng Wan’er’s room might just be trying to hide it, and might not be the real culprit!”
Feng Xiaotian seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at a beautiful woman. She was in her thirties, in the prime of her life, and had a mature charm. However, at this moment, there was a hint of panic in her cool eyes.
"Lier, did you do this?" Feng Xiaotian asked calmly.
This is his eldest daughter, Feng Li, also the eldest daughter of the Feng family.
His eldest daughter was usually quite shrewd, and he suspected that this matter was related to her.
Feng Li's face froze for a moment. She bit her red lips, stepped forward, knelt down, and bowed her head, saying, "It was Father, I did it!"
Wow!
The crowd was in an uproar, not expecting Feng Li to admit it.
"Sister, why did you hurt me!"
At this moment, Feng Wan'er stormed in, her face filled with shame, indignation, and utter incomprehension.
Her older sister usually dotes on her, who would have thought she would do something like this.
"I..." Feng Li was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, Lin Yu spoke up, saying, "She doesn't want to harm you, she wants to save you!"
"Save me?" Feng Wan'er felt both angry and amused. Putting a corpse in her room was practically harming her, how could it be considered saving her?
Lin Yu shook his head and sighed, "Let her say it herself!"
Everyone turned their attention to Feng Li.
Feng Li glanced at her younger sister, pursed her lips, and said, "I... I thought you really killed Tantai Lin in a fit of anger, so... so I wanted to kill Liu Huan to silence you!"
"However, when I got to Liu Huan's room, she was already dead! Although I was also very surprised, I couldn't think too much about it at that moment. I could only hide her body, but her body had a strange smell and would be easily discovered, so..."
"So you hid her in my room?" Feng Wan'er was speechless for a moment, then rolled her eyes in anger.
Just as Lin Yu said, this is a case of being too clever for one's own good!
Now everyone understood that, after all that, all the suspicions were fabricated by the Feng family themselves.
But who is the real murderer?
It must have been someone who killed Liu Huan before Feng Li could.
This person is very likely the real culprit behind the assassination of Tantai Lin. If this person isn't found, no matter how eloquently Lin Yu speaks, the Feng sisters will still be suspected!
"Your Majesty, even if what you say is true, it cannot dispel the suspicion that the Feng family killed my son. I will never let this matter go!" Tantai Guanlan said with red eyes, looking utterly heartbroken.
The pain of losing a child is something that those who haven't experienced it can never truly understand.
Lin Yu sighed and said, "I understand your feelings, but by now, the murderer has probably already escaped and it's impossible to catch him in a short time. The land of Shenzhou is facing threats from underground, crises beyond the ice wall, and even more serious calamities like the Calamity of Death. These are far more important than personal lives. I hereby guarantee, in my capacity as the Human Emperor, that this matter is absolutely unrelated to the Feng family. If it truly was the Feng family's doing, may I be struck by lightning and never be reincarnated!"
Everyone was deeply moved.
Unexpectedly, the Human Emperor actually vouched for the Feng family and was willing to make such a vicious oath!
Even Gu Wu and the Tantai family were deeply moved.
What kind of status does the Human Emperor have? With his strength, he could easily annihilate the Tantai family, and even ancient martial arts.
Why make such a poisonous oath!
This is respect!
It also shows their trust in the Feng family!
Having gone this far, what else could Tantai Guanlan say?
Even though he still felt uneasy about it, he had no choice but to put it aside.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said tremblingly, "Since the Emperor has spoken, let's put this matter aside for now, but I will continue to investigate. If I find out that the murderer is indeed from the Feng family, I will risk my life and fortune to never let this go!"
"Better to be a broken piece of jade than a whole piece of tile"—this is the integrity of Tantai Guanlan.
Today we are showing respect to the Emperor; it's out of reverence, not fear!
This matter has been temporarily put to rest. Now that the Human Emperor has returned, it is naturally a cause for celebration. The alliance's affairs should continue to be discussed. Tang Peng decided to hold another meeting in the afternoon and invited Lin Yu to preside over the meeting as the alliance leader.
As the emperor, it was only natural that he should take on the responsibility.
After everyone left, Lin Yu and the Feng family members stayed behind.
"You two girls, hurry up and thank the Emperor for saving you!" Feng Xiaotian scolded.
