"Mind reading?"
The moment those three words were uttered, some of the people present immediately became alert and their hearts pounded with fear.
Everyone has secrets, and everyone wants their secrets to be known by others.
Rumor has it that Wuqing of the Divine Marquis's Mansion is skilled in mind reading. When will the Great Demon Lin also be able to read minds?
That's not the point. The point right now is: Did Xuanwu and Ding Xiu kill Baihu together and then frame Lin Bufan?
Also, should the Embroidered Uniform Guard still arrest Lin Bufan?
If we're going to capture someone, should we deal with Xuanwu and Ding Xiu first, or capture Lin Bufan first?
Qinglong was kicked, and he sprang up quickly, his anger blaming him as he berated Lin Bufan.
"Lin Bufan, you killed my brother and then pinned the blame on a bandit. You are not worthy of being called a hero."
"I am not a hero, and I am not making baseless accusations. Ding Xiu is the murderer who killed Baihu. Besides him and Xuanwu, there was another expert involved. This person has a powerful force behind him."
"How...how did you know?"
Ding Xiu was trembling with fear, feeling as if he had been seen through from beginning to end, with no secrets left to him.
The assassination plan was so meticulously planned that very few people knew about it.
He, Xuanwu, and one of An Shigeng's top fighters ambushed and killed Baihu in a dark alley, a matter that was kept extremely secret.
Even after cutting off the white tiger's head, the bamboo pole was erected to hang it up, which was done by an inconspicuous person. How could Lin Bufan have known?
How would I know?
Lin Bufan stared into Ding Xiu's eyes, continuing to use his mind-reading ability to probe Ding Xiu's thoughts.
"I know far more than that. I also know about your affair with a fat woman at Zuiyue Tower. May I ask, what's that woman like?"
"Not so great, just a bunch of old radishes and pickled vegetables. The main thing is that her martial arts skills are better than mine, so I have no power to resist her at all."
As if possessed, Ding Xiu unconsciously revealed some of his secrets, and a look of embarrassment and anger appeared on his face.
By the time he realized he had let something slip, it was too late.
Wow, is mind reading really that terrifying?
Ding Xiu became increasingly frightened as he thought about it, and quickly covered his mouth, not daring to say another word.
Qinglong was skeptical of Ding Xiu's words, suspecting that Lin Bufan was using his power to intimidate him or deliberately using a soul-shifting technique to mislead Ding Xiu.
Because there is a hypnotic technique in the Nine Yin Manual called the Soul Transfer Technique.
Everyone in the martial arts world knows that if Lin Bufan learns the Nine Yin Manual, he will definitely also learn the Soul Transfer Technique.
He immediately rebuked, "Lin Bufan, stop using your soul-shifting magic to bewitch people. He's just a wandering bandit, a lazy bum who spends his days idly. How could he possibly kill my second brother? My second brother may not be invincible, but he's certainly one of the few who can rival him in the capital."
Snap!
Lin Bufan slapped Qinglong across the face, knocking him to the ground where he fell face-first into the mud.
"Speak to me politely, and stop babbling."
"You've gone too far."
The Azure Dragon leaped up again.
At this moment, Wuqing, sitting in a wheelchair next to Leng Lingqi, suddenly said, "Lin Bufan is right. Xuanwu did indeed collude with Ding Xiu to kill Baihu. I used mind-reading to spy on Ding Xiu's thoughts."
Mind reading, it's mind reading again.
Qinglong was depressed, his chest ached, and he was so angry that he wanted to hit someone and slap Wuqing across the face.
If mind-reading is so useful, would we still need the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Six Doors, the Eastern Depot and the Western Depot, or Zhu Wushi's Dragon Guard Manor?
From now on, all cases will be handled by your Divine Marquis's Mansion. You, the Heartless Girl, will be in charge of interrogating criminals. You can use your mind-reading ability to see into the criminals' minds and determine their crimes.
"Mind reading? Hmph, a complete fabrication, pure conjecture. You think guessing other people's thoughts can be considered evidence?"
Qinglong cursed Wuqing: "Lin Bufan has only been in the capital for one day, and your Divine Marquis Mansion is already colluding with him. You simply don't respect the Emperor at all."
Wuqing retorted angrily, "Stop using the Emperor to intimidate us, Lord Qinglong. I'm just stating the facts."
Lin Bufan looked at Wuqing, slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Wuqing to speak up for him and openly contradict Qinglong.
Wuqing also looked over at Lin Bufan. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.
Qinglong didn't want to argue with a woman, so he said to Zhuge Zhengwo with a gloomy face, "Divine Marquis, are you just going to let her run wild and ruin the reputation of your Divine Marquis's Mansion?"
Zhuge Zhengwo said indifferently, "She's always been like this, I'm used to it. As for reputation, our Divine Marquis's Mansion only cares about investigating cases, not reputation."
"Hmph, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too."
Qinglong cursed and shouted to his men, "Arrest Ding Xiu first, lock him in the Jinyiwei prison, torture him severely, and force him to reveal the real culprit behind this."
A large group of Imperial Guards swarmed over, and Ding Xiu had nowhere to escape. He was grabbed and lifted high into the air.
"Junior brother, junior brother, save me! If you dare not save me, I will expose your secrets, expose them all!"
Ding Xiu was taken away, and his shouts grew fainter and fainter until they could no longer be heard.
Ding Xiu's junior brother was Jin Yichuan, a minor officer in the Northern Garrison of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He was unremarkable and unknown within the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
When his senior brother was arrested on the street, Jin Yichuan stood in the crowd like a lackey, not daring to utter a single word.
"Even if Baihu was killed by Xuanwu and Ding Xiu in collusion with some force..."
Qinglong returned to the main topic, his cold eyes flashing with a chilling light as he stared at Lin Bufan: "Fuzhou, how do you account for killing Zhuque? How do you account for killing more than a hundred of my Jinyiwei brothers?"
"They dug up my Lin family's ancestral graves and whipped the corpses of my Lin family ancestors. Don't they deserve to die?"
Lin Bufan retorted sharply, glaring angrily at Qinglong, which frightened Qinglong into taking three steps back.
Just now, because he was standing too close, Lin Bufan ambushed him. He was unsportsmanlike and slapped him across the face, knocking him to the ground.
