Yu Liang rubbed his nose, knowing that Lian Yi was hinting at the "June 15" case, so he said directly:
"This time I will apply for funds to assist in solving the case, and I hope Miss Qiu can help."
After receiving a positive answer, Lian Yi nodded and said:
"Then pick me up at the scene of the accident so that I can make a judgment."
"Okay, I'll pick you and your cat up tomorrow night at ten."
Yu Liang paused for a moment and also extended an invitation to Xuanfeng.
Tornado meowed in response, and then Yu Liang left promptly.
When Yu Liang was leaving, he happened to pass by Wen Yulian who was coming in. Wen Yulian glanced at the other's back before walking in.
"Lianyi, is that police officer here because of the Tao family's matter?"
"No, it's something else. I was asked to go to the scene to take a look. Are you interested?"
Ripple asked.
"I am interested, but I've been really busy lately. I haven't found the elder that my master asked me to visit yet. Maybe next time!"
Wen Yulian is very sensible in her actions and she would never do anything to steal business from her competitors.
"Forget it then. Just do your thing and we'll talk about it when you're free."
Lianyi just asked politely. The two of them finally got together and had a sumptuous lunch. Lianyi learned from Wen Yulian why she had been leaving home early and coming back late recently.
"Master is based in Hong Kong City and has gotten used to the life there. He hasn't been back here for nearly 30 years. This time, I was ostensibly invited by Tao Jingfeng to escort them, but in fact, I also came back to see Master's fellow disciples.
Unfortunately, my master has been gone for too long, and I have lost contact with many of my fellow disciples. It is quite difficult for me to find them, so I have been running around recently.
Today I finally got in touch with an uncle-master, but he had already passed away. He only left one disciple to guard the mountain gate, so it was not convenient for him to leave.
I plan to look for the other two seniors. If there is no news, I will go to the mountain gate of that uncle to take a look. If you have time, you can go with me."
Wen Yulian made the invitation mainly because it was her first time back and she was unfamiliar with the place, so she wanted to find a companion.
"That's no problem. I'll just treat it as a trip."
Lianyi agreed readily.
The two chatted for a few more minutes and then went back to their rooms. Lianyi didn't see Wen Yulian again until dinner.
At 9:30 the next evening, Yu Liang drove to pick up Lianyi. He timed it very accurately. Lianyi sat in the passenger seat holding Xuanfeng, took the file handed to her by Yu Liang and started to read it, while Yu Liang started the car and drove towards the destination.
The car was very quiet. Xuanfeng in Lianyi's arms was also staring at the file, which surprised Yu Liang a little, but he didn't ask because he knew he wouldn't get the answer he wanted.
Half an hour later, Yu Liang's car stopped on an overpass with the flashing lights on. He pointed somewhere and said:
"That's where the crash happened."
Lian Yi took a quick glance and said to Liang:
"I want to go over and take a look. Is that convenient?"
"It's ten o'clock now. That's when the car accident happened a few days ago. There's still a lot of traffic right now, so it's not convenient for you to go over and check. You may have to wait for more than an hour. Is that okay?"
Yu Liang looked at his watch and asked Lian Yi for her opinion.
"Then let's go have a midnight snack first, and it will be the same if we come back at twelve o'clock."
Lianyi said very cooperatively.
"good."
Then the two of them and the cat went to a 24-hour food stall, and after eating and drinking their fill, they arrived at the overpass on time.
Because it was already midnight, the traffic was much lighter, and only one car passed by every half a day. Yu Liang's car was parked carefully at the scene of the crime.
Lianyi unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car. She looked around, then frowned and asked Xuanfeng in her arms:
"Tornado, did you see anything?"
"Master, I haven't found anything yet."
"That's strange. There's clearly something wrong with the aura here."
Lianyi walked around the crime scene holding Xuanfeng, even walked to the sidewalk of the overpass and looked down. It took her about a quarter of an hour to leave the guardrail.
"Ms. Qiu, how is it? Can you see anything?"
Yu Liang asked eagerly.
"I can tell you that the car accident was not accidental. It was indeed affected by something, but I just didn't find the other party."
Lianyi didn't waste any words and gave the answer directly.
"So that means we can't catch that thing?"
Yu Liang said somewhat helplessly.
"Just because I didn't find him doesn't mean he's not nearby. Maybe he's hiding. Can you let me meet the owner of the car tomorrow?"
Lianyi said in a responsible manner.
"Can."
Yu Liang agreed readily. After all, he had already come this far, so one last step didn't matter.
The two agreed on a meeting time tomorrow, and Yu Liang sent Lianyi back.
That night, a tabby cat was meowing in the yard, but after Tornado went out, the meowing stopped.
When Lianyi asked the next day, Xuanfeng said:
"Master, Liang Yong is making some moves. He went to that viaduct in the middle of the night last night and wandered around a bridge pier for a long time."
After hearing this, Lianyi raised her eyebrows and asked:
"Is this the place Captain Yu sent us to last night?"
"yes!"
"Interesting, no wonder there was a pileup on that bridge."
Lianyi became more certain of her judgment, but she didn't know where the ghost was hiding now.
"Master, I'll ask Xiao Lihua to keep an eye on him. If anything happens, he will definitely notify me as soon as possible."
Tornado's younger brother is still relatively reliable.
"I understand. Don't always make him do the work. Give your little brother some benefits. Do you need me to prepare some cat food?"
Ripple asked.
"Just regular cat food will do. I'll give it to them as payment for their help."
Tornado replied with narrowed eyes.
"Okay, I understand."
Just as the man and the cat finished communicating, Yu Liang arrived. This time he took Lianyi to the hospital to see the car owner, who was also seriously injured.
Lianyi did not bring Xuanfeng this time, so he asked him to build relationships with his younger brothers.
When they arrived at the hospital and saw the man bandaged like a mummy, Lianyi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said to Liang:
"Captain Yu, please ask the family members to leave."
"good."
Yu Liang did not ask any further questions. He politely asked the accompanying family members to leave, saying that he wanted to ask some questions related to the case.
The moment the door closed, the man lying on the bed opened his eyes and stared at Lianyi.
Lianyi sat casually on the stool beside the bed and said:
"Are you going to come out on your own, or am I going to beat you out?"
"It's not that I don't want to come out. If I come out, he will die."
The man moved his lips and finally explained in a hoarse voice.
"With injuries like this, there's no way he can survive. What's your purpose? Kill him and replace him? You've tried so many times, and this time you finally succeeded?"
Lian Yi asked coldly.
"No, I didn't mean to hurt anyone, I just wanted to warn them, but no one saw me, and everyone who saw me had something bad happen to them. But I couldn't help it, I couldn't leave that bridge, this was the only time I borrowed someone else's body to leave."
The man explained breathlessly.
"Remind? Remind what? Do you need to use this method?"
"It's the bridge. The bridge is about to collapse!" (End of this chapter)
