Li Huashi calmed down and thought about it.
Indeed, if it was a ghost, why did only Yu Qiu Shuang die? The deceased was of noble status. For a big family like this, the death of one person is most likely due to some conspiracy or revenge.
If you ignore the abnormal strong wind, bloody footprints and corpses appear in the locked cabinet...
Ah... No, I can't figure out how it was designed.
Let's just rely on Li Lianhua. Since he said it was man-made, it must be most likely man-made.
However, Li Huashi still prayed silently in her heart: If there really are ghosts in this world, and they dare to mess with me! I will! I will... I will live in a temple!
All the people imprisoned in the prison were tied up and taken to the yard to meet Yu Hongzhu, the lord of Yucheng.
As soon as everyone entered the yard, they saw the servants washing the bloodstains beside the yard.
Those were the bloodstains left behind by the Jade City guards who were sentenced to death.
The guards failed to protect their master properly, and the body they were assigned to guard was inexplicably burned.
After hearing the body being burned, Li Huashi felt completely at peace.
If it was a ghost who killed someone, according to the ghost's psychology, it would definitely want to leave a corpse to scare people and make them feel terrified.
It's impossible that the body was burned by such a coincidence.
The murderer was in such a hurry to burn the body, he must be afraid that the cause of Yu Qiushuang's death would be discovered.
Facing Yu Hongzhu who was questioning everyone, everyone said, "Madam Yu, this is an evil ghost harming people, it has nothing to do with us!"
Yu Hongzhu: "Oh, I think you are just talking nonsense! I don't have much patience. I will count to three and the murderer will come out. If the murderer doesn't come out, I will make everyone suffer the same punishment that Shuang'er went through!"
Li Huashi looked at Li Lianhua with a smile and winked.
Li Huashi: She forced me to do this.
Yu Hongzhu: “Three!”
Li Lianhua sighed. He definitely couldn't control Li Huashi in this situation.
This guy won't suffer any loss at all, and being held hostage like this is already an injustice.
Yu Hongzhu: “Two!”
Li Huashi couldn't help laughing: "One!"
When Yu Hongzhu heard Li Huashi's voice, she looked at her with an unfriendly look.
Fang Duobing heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. It turned out that to subdue a rude person, one must rely on someone even more rude.
Yu Hongzhu said sternly: "It seems that you want to die."
Li Huashi smiled and said, "I really want to, please, kill me~"
As soon as Li Huashi finished speaking, dozens of men in black suddenly climbed over the wall of Yu Hongzhu's mansion.
After noticing that Li Huashi and Li Lianhua had their hands tied behind their backs, the Dark Lake guards acted without hesitation and directly slashed the Jade City guards who were holding everyone hostage.
Yu Hongzhu was startled and faced with the sudden attack, she started fighting with the group of men in black.
A guard untied Li Huashi, and then untied Li Lianhua.
Li Huashi walked up to Li Lianhua, raised her red wrist and said aggrievedly: "Look, it's all red."
Li Lianhua helplessly and amusedly took out the skin care cream from her arms and applied it to Li Huashi.
But that person's skin was indeed delicate, and after just a short while, marks were already left on it.
The ointment was icy cold. Li Huashi watched Li Lianhua applying the ointment on her and secretly rejoiced.
Li Lianhua: "Remember to tell them not to kill anyone."
Li Huashi nodded: "Oh, okay~"
Fang Duobing: "Hey, hey, there's me, there's me."
Li Huashi rolled her eyes impatiently at the light bulb that disturbed her good mood.
Li Lianhua jokingly untied the rope for Fang Duobing.
Fang Duobing untied the ropes for the others, and soon, except Fang Duobing and three others, everyone else took advantage of the chaos and ran away.
Yu Hongzhu was captured soon, and glared at Li Huashi with an unconvinced look on her face: "Who are you?! What is your purpose in deliberately approaching Yucheng?!"
Li Huashi: "Hey, first of all, I am not interested in your Jade City. We in Dark Lake don't even look down on a small Jade City like yours. I can only say that you are unlucky. You kidnapped me and want to deal with me."
Yu Hongzhu gritted her teeth secretly: "Are you... a saint?"
Li Huashi ignored Yu Hongzhu and looked up at Li Lianhua: "What should we do now?"
Before Li Lianhua could speak, Fang Duobing interrupted and said, "Well, why don't we find out the truth together."
"You?" Li Huashi looked at Fang Duobing with disgust.
Fang Duobing: "Don't underestimate me! I was the one who figured out the last case! Besides, you're afraid of ghosts, aren't you?"
Li Huashi: "I am afraid of ghosts but I am not a fool. This is obviously man-made."
Fang Duobing: "Aren't you curious about how this happened?"
Li Huashi thought about it and realized that she was indeed quite curious.
If she has the chance in the future, she would also like to pretend to be a ghost and scare people.
Yu Hongzhu: "What are you talking about? I have no intention of offending the Saint. If I have offended you in any way, I am willing to offer you a gift to make amends."
Li Huashi ignored her and continued to ignore her: "If you want to investigate the case, ask Li Lianhua. I will listen to him."
Yu Hongzhu: So angry!!!
Fang Duobing looked at Li Lianhua expectantly: "Doctor Li, you see, your wife is so scared that she fainted. If the truth of this case is not found out, she will be terrified when she thinks about it in the future. She may not be able to sleep well at night, right? Let's find out the truth of the case together and let the truth defeat him, how about it?"
Li Huashi: ... I always feel that although what this guy said makes some sense, it makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason.
Li Lianhua agreed. According to Li Huashi's personality, even if she knew it was man-made, she would definitely still have some doubts in her heart without knowing the specific details.
Although Li Lianhua would occasionally scare Li Huashi, she didn't want to really scare anyone.
What's more, he had said before that he would tell her after finding out the truth.
What's more, Fang Duobing is the nephew of his senior brother Shan Gudao. This kid has too little experience in the martial arts world, so he could take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.
Seeing that Li Lianhua agreed, Fang Duobing said to Yu Hongzhu, "Madam Yu, since you don't believe that your sister was killed by an evil ghost, don't you want to catch the murderer? How about we catch the murderer for you?"
Yu Hongzhu: "Oh, you let everyone escape, how can you catch them?"
Fang Duobing: "This is Yucheng, your territory, they can't get far.
I am a detective from Baichuanyuan. If there is a murderer among them, I will seek justice for your sister."
"My people are being held hostage. Even if they run away, my people can't catch up with them." Yu Hongzhu looked at Li Huashi.
"Oh, this is the Saint's sister, Miss Zhui Lian." Fang Duobing looked at Li Huashi and said, "Well, Miss Zhui Lian, since it was just a misunderstanding, now that it's cleared up, your people..."
Li Huashi: "Hmph, let them go."
Yu Hongzhu was released, and she bowed to Li Huashi and said, "Miss Zhui Lian, we in Yucheng do not participate in disputes between the martial arts world. I am sorry for not recognizing you."
Li Huashi: "Anyway, you know the rules of Dark Lake, just pay the money."
Yu Hongzhu pulled the corner of her mouth: "Don't worry, young lady."
