The person-in-charge seemed scared that the three strange police officers would not believe him and explained, “The cloth used to wrap the corpse looks old, but the female corpse doesn’t rot or even stink. Don’t you think it’s weird?”
Li Xianyu and Hu Xinyue looked at each other. iI seemed that there was something wrong with the woman’s body, but he couldn’t understand. So what if there’s really a problem with the female corpse? Did she have any relations with the Demon Alliance or the Wu family?
He looked at Hu Xinyue in confusion. She grimaced and pretended not to see his questioning look. Li Xianyu raised his left hand quietly and she immediately behaved. She took a step back quietly and distanced herself from Li Xianyu. She didn’t care when she was in a private place and even used it to flirt with Li Xianyu, but it was embarrassing if he were to touch her outside.
Hu Xinyue took her phone out from her pink purse, tapped the screen a few times and raised it for the person-in-charge to take a look. “Do you recognize this object?”
Li Xianyu glanced at the screen, and it showed a photograph of the Wu family’s copper nails.
The person-in-charge clearly recognized it, and when he saw it, his expression changed slightly. “I saw this on the female corpse. Many parts of her body had these copper nails nailed into them. Some workers told me it was a ghost-sealing technique in their home.”
Don’t believe it. The workers are bluffing.
Li Xianyu’s eyelashes fluttered. He finally knew what role the female corpse played in the affair, at least a little clearer. She was clearly something from the Wu family, though they didn’t know why she was buried here with nails and sealed with weird spells. It was not hard to guess that she was a puppet cultivated by the Wu family.
In that case, he was able to make sure that the Wu family was behind the scenes, but that also added to his doubts.
It didn’t make sense. At the very least, the Wu family was a renowned family in the demon descendants community. This series of operations was mediocre at best and was far from a smart move.
For example, if they were to want to stir up infighting between the Demons Alliance and killed Liu Tong and Hu Zong in succession, even though it did cause tension between the Demons Alliance, then why send the Bear Spirit to do it? This would cause the Demons Alliance and Fengtian Division to target the Bear Spirit and reveal the secret of the “copper nails”.
Silver level of technique. Nothing more.
If Li Xianyu were to do so, he would surely have a safer and more effective way to provoke the Demons Alliance’s infighting.
“Who took the body?” Li Xianyu asked.
“I thought you police took the body.” The person-in-charge looked at him again in disbelief. “You don’t know? Um… I’m going to have to take another look at your officer’s ID.”
You can’t find anything amiss even if you look at it a hundred times… Li Xianyu threw his officer ID to him, and repeatedly thought, The police took it?
He subconsciously thought of Great-Grandma’s doubts. He turned to find that Great-Grandma was blinking her large doe eyes and was focusing her attention on the motor. She looked like a curious and innocent girl.
Nevermind. I.Q. was never Great-Grandma’s strength. She had remained silent these days in Northeast China, rushing into the lead only when fighting.
As the ultimate Gokudo War Spirit, she was capable of using mere force to subjugate the world. She didn’t need intelligence at all.
Nothing can be considered reckless, if there is anything… Hold on. I’ll shatter my own spirit bead.
So, he pulled Hu Xinyu aside and whispered, “You said that the female corpse disappeared without cause, and it’s still missing.”
Hu Xinyue nodded. “And the person I sent to investigate was killed.”
“There’s a contradiction here, and I don’t know much about the female corpse. I can’t tell if you’re telling the truth.” Li Xianyu mused for a moment. “Well, I should give you an orgasm now.”
Hu Xinyue looked so terrified and grabbed onto Li Xianyu’s glove tightly. She frowned. “What I’m saying is true, otherwise why would I come to investigate? You think it’s fun to prank you?”
She felt that she had met her nemesis. She was naturally beautiful, skilled in charm, and intelligent. She could play men like a fiddle and even flirt with wood blocks that were not acquainted with women.
He was the only one whom she couldn’t do anything to. If one were to dare to be cheeky with him, he would make one wonder about life in a scream.
He is a natural nemesis to women.
“Well, I’m actually inclined to believe you. It fits with what I thought,” Li Xianyu said.
“Then you still…” Hu Xinyue glared.
“You won’t suffer a loss. You say no, but don’t you feel so good and tremble all over when I touch you with my left hand?”
Hu Xinyue was speechless.
The person-in-charge looked for a long time and found that the document should be true. For a person like him who had a rich experience, even if he had no contact with a police officer’s ID before, he could see it in the details such as the clarity, material, and stamp.
For such documents, fake ones will never be so perfect.
“Do you have anything else to ask? If not, I’m going back to bed. I still have to wake up early tomorrow,” he said.
It didn’t matter if it was true or not. He had nothing to do with the case and was not scared of being involved.
“One last thing.” Hu Xinyue tapped and scrolled down her phone photo album and handed it back to the person-in-charge. “Take a look. Is it her?”
The screen showed a girl’s one-inch photograph. She had fair skin and was beautiful. Even with her fringe combed up, she still looked pretty. Her beauty was stunning.
The person-in-charge looked at it for a long time and nodded. “It’s her. The difference is a little big, but it’s very similar.”
Hu Xinyue nodded. “Thank you, that’s all.”
She kept her mobile phone, signaling to Li Xianyu that she had finished asking her own questions and they could leave.
The two left side by side, and Li Xianyu asked, “What do you know? Why do you have photos of the female corpse when she was alive?”
Hu Xinyue understood the crux of the matter and was in a relaxed mood. She looked brighter and blinked her beautiful eyes. “Guess…”
Li Xianyu took off his gloves and raised his hand. She took a few steps back in horror, shaking her hand as she pleaded, “I’m kidding. Don’t touch me.”
As the white BMW returned to Feng Tian, Hu Xinyue switched on the music, and adjusted the volume so that it did not affect the conversation. “Do you know who this woman is?”
Li Xianyu shook his head.
“She has nothing unique in her own right, but she’s connected to the minister of your Fengtian Division,” Hu Xinyue whispered. “You should know that Wu Sanjin’s original name is Wu Xin and he is a member of the Wu family. Don’t look at his flippant attitude now, and drinking to drown his sorrows all day. He wasn’t like this a few years ago.”
“Although Wu Sanjin is not a direct descendant, but he has a great talent for practicing qi, and he is equally excellent at his superpower. At his peak, even his brethren that are direct descendants have to look down when they see him. There was even a rumor in the Wu family that he will be the next master.”
“It’s not an exaggeration to say that the Wu family is a huge family name, and the position of the master has always been a position that only capable people can assume the role of. Wu Sanjin is impeccable in both qualifications and character.”
“Five years ago, he was 24 years old and fought on par with the 89th ranked demon descendant family members. Such geniuses are almost guaranteed to be promoted to the top 50 of the demon descendants list before the age of 30. The Wu family was also willing to cultivate him.”
“But five years ago, an accident happened. He fell in love with his sister-in-law. More accurately, she was his clan brother’s girlfriend. The clan brother’s status was not low and is the second son of Wu Yuanping, the master then. With his amazing talent and how he’s valued, he openly asked for the woman of hi clan brother and fought for her. This shocked the entire clan.”
Nothing is more delicious than dumplings, nothing is more fun than… Li Xianyu inhaled in shock and never thought that the Useless Minister was like that. Pfft, a talent.
“And then the Wu family gave up on him?”
“Even if he had S-class potential, the Wu family wouldn’t agree. Big families really value their reputation.”
“Go on, what happened then?”
“The Wu family was still willing to give him a chance and arranged a marriage for him. As long as he admitted his mistake and accepted a marriage arranged by the family, they would forget about the matter.”
“However, he went into a crazed frenzy and injured a dozen or so of the Wu family’s top combatants. This even alarmed the elderly clan master and he struck personally. He destroyed Wu Sanjin’s core and cast him out of the clan.”
