”Uncle Xing, don't worry, our little girl has no other intentions, but what she said is right, please tell us what happened. This friend of mine is very quick-witted, he might be able to come up with a good plan.” Lingyun waved his hand, signalling for the two of them to not make any noise.
”That's fine, but there are some things I just heard. The crime scene has already been blocked off, and I can't intervene. It seems like King Dongping has handed the case to an unknown constable to deal with.” Xing Yu revealed a worried expression, his eyebrows tightly knitted together. He felt an extreme sense of guilt for his own powerlessness.
”Uncle, please speak,” Lingyun raised his hand and invited him. Fan Mu, on the other hand, was talking about it with relish. ”You really are a scammer.”
”This has to start from two days ago. On a trip to the west of the East Peak King, I met General Huang's group on the way and was about to exchange military matters. I decided to head to Hui Square to rest for a day before setting off …”
Halfway through, Lingyun interrupted, ”It's General Huang's people again? Has he come himself? ”
”No, the person who came was his eldest son, Chang, Liu Gongzi,” Xing Yu replied without asking anything further.
Lingyun gritted his teeth and nodded, wanting to let Uncle Xing continue, ”Yes, and then …”
”Hmm, coincidentally, General Murong just happened to be visiting my house, so after receiving the news, I went to prepare a banquet. That night, I, Dongping Wang, Liu Gongzi, and the rest of the group, namely General Murong, were all drunk, so when I was half drunk and half awake, they sent me to their own rooms, and then I smelled something particularly fragrant. I just fell asleep, and when I woke up, I heard someone shout at the door.
”Uncle, I think there's something fishy about this,” Fan Mu said as he held his head, as if he had thought of something.
”Speak,” Xing Yu's eyes flashed with a golden light upon hearing this. What he needed the most now was to investigate the incomprehensible areas behind the incident. Since he couldn't find the direction to investigate, his subordinates were like headless flies, occasionally finding things for him to do.
”Was there a fire in the room?” Fan Mu asked about some of the details.
”That's right, the person who searched said that General Murong wanted to burn his corpse to prevent future troubles, but he didn't expect that the moment he escaped the door, he would be caught by the patrolling guards,” Xing Yu replied. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.
