When Li Xiao touched Chen Jue's hand, her entire body trembled,
Then she trembled slightly.
Her eyes widened,
As if she had seen an extremely terrifying scene —
It seemed to be the residence of a wealthy family,
His gaze paused for a moment,
Then he began to move forward,
Lord Chen did not hesitate to walk up the steps in front of the red lacquer door and enter this hell.
The red lacquer door was wide open, and the door was covered in blood. Chen Jue lowered his head and saw,
He stepped over two overlapping corpses that had fallen to the ground.
Blood stained the screen wall,
It was impossible to recognize the original pattern of the screen wall.
He walked around the screen wall,
As far as the eye could see, there were still corpses lying everywhere.
The manservant guarding the door, the officers and soldiers of the nine gates who wore the same color and style as Xu Ting, the guards in tight clothes, and even the old maids and maids... corpses were everywhere, and one or two of them were struggling on the verge of death,
But it was obvious that they could not be saved.
There were so many corpses that Li Xiao could hardly calculate how many corpses there were.
Through Lord Chen's eyes, Li Xiao felt as if she could no longer breathe when she saw all of this.
That kind of cruel scene also burned her heart and lungs.
She was so scared that her back felt cold, and her hair stood on end.
She hoped that..,
She would never want to see such a scene in her life.
She had seen the familiar villagers of the Li family village being smashed to death and turning into bloody corpses; she had seen the House of Ge's Ban Xia killing people..,
The scene of frantic wailing everywhere....
Only when she saw such a scene did she understand..,
Those in the past could not be called the 'Ghost Mansion'.
Those broken limbs..,
Those corpses..,
Those ferocious and terrifying dead faces....
In the Hua Mansion in front of her, corpses were everywhere. Only corpses, blood, and slaughter were left.
It was as if they were no longer in the human world, but had stepped into the gates of hell.
Through Lord Chen's vision, after seeing this tragic scene, she also felt the intense emotions from Lord Chen... helplessness, regret, anger, despair, and sadness.
It was complicated but strong.
It was as if... these corpses were related to him.
Lord Chen tried his best to step over the corpses so that he wouldn't step on anyone. He walked around the projector wall and took a few steps forward.
The scene in the future stopped abruptly. Li Xiao blinked and saw Lord Chen's concerned expression.
She touched her face and realized that she was crying.
"What's the matter?" Chen Jue reached out and touched the tears in the corner of her eyes.
Li Xiao quickly wiped her tears and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"My lord, I see … I … I have deduced … slaughter and death.
Many, many massacres, many … deaths. "Her voice trembled slightly, as if she had not completely walked out of that scene.
She seemed to still be able to smell the scent of blood, and she seemed to be able to see the remains of the corpses.
Li Xiao tightened his grip on his sleeves and swallowed nervously.
Chen Jue stared at Li Xiao's expression and asked thoughtfully, "Do you have any specific information?"
Li Xiao didn't know that Lord Chen was still guessing what her supernatural ability was. She answered without warning, "It's a rich family's mansion. Many, many people have died... Massacre... The kind that exterminated the family..."
"Exterminated the family?" Chen Jue's face tightened slightly. "Whose family?"
Li Xiao shook her head.
"Can you detect the appearance of this mansion?" Chen Jue pointed at the three copper coins in front of Li Xiao.
"There are two stone lions at the gate."
Li Xiao also looked at the copper coins in front of her. She stretched out her finger and pushed one of them absent-mindedly.
"Which rich family doesn't have stone lions at the gate?" Chen Jue glared fiercely at Li Xiao.
There are also stone lions at the gate of his house!
Li Xiao shrunk her shoulders and said, "One of the stone lions' eyes fell off.
The other's ear fell off. "
Many of the stone lions at the gate of the mansion were more or less damaged and fell off after decades of exposure to the wind and sun.
It would be very difficult to use this as a basis to investigate the family that was massacred.
"Is there any other information?
Take a look again. Any information that is different, can be inferred and distinguished. "Chen Jue guided her and anxiously tapped the table.
Li Xiao glanced at Chen Jue and thought for a moment before saying, "Lord, I'm afraid this family extermination tragedy has something to do with you.
Do you remember that I once speculated that you took me to sweep the tomb?
Is it possible... that the person who was swept the tomb was in the mansion where the family was exterminated? "
Chen Jue frowned. "Is it my House of Chen?"
"Of course not." She had lived in the house for so long. How could she not know the place?
"In the capital, there are not many people who have died. I won't sweep the tomb alone." Chen Jue's face was cold. There were not many people who would participate in the funeral.
"There's a screen wall at the gate." Li Xiao said again.
"What kind of picture is it?" Chen Jue asked.
Li Xiao shook her head.
"Every mansion has a screen wall!" After talking for a long time, she still didn't have any useful information.
Whose mansion was it?
Who had befriended such a terrible and angry enemy?
Why would they kill an entire family in a place like the capital?
Did they prepare for a life and death struggle?
What kind of deep hatred did they have for each other?
"There are... there are three steps in front of the gate..." Li Xiao pursed her lips.
"Do you know how many rich families there are in the capital?" Chen Jue facepalmed.
"But..." There really wasn't any other information.
Li Xiao pursed her lips.
He looked up and saw the little girl's somewhat anxious expression. He sighed and reached out to stroke the little girl's head. Then, he ordered Zhang Long to make a list of all the things — the red lacquered door, the stone lion at the door, and the stone lion with one eye and one ear missing, the three steps in front of the door, and the projector wall...
When Zhang Long received this order, he couldn't wait to go directly to the Ministry of Revenue and get all the records … but he still pursed his lips and went to visit them.
It was really a tough job to walk around the entire city.
After Zhang Long left, Zhang Tang rushed to the screen and said to Chen Jue, "Sir, there's a result from the prison.
Two of Liu Rui's subordinates who were captured at Li Ru's Yunshu Academy have confessed. "
"What do you mean?" Chen Jue asked.
Zhang Tang showed a pained expression and lamented, "It's Liu Rui!
The victims in the Dried Corpses Case all match up.
They confessed how they were lured away and how they were abducted … "
Most of the girls followed Liu Rui willingly.
Li Xiao opened her mouth wide in shock. She still couldn't believe it.
Could it be that Mr. Li was telling the truth?
It's really Liu Rui … It's really Liu Rui …
The son of Liu Tianping of the Dali Monastery!!!
The son of Lord Chen's subordinate …
Chen Jue held the teacup and thought for a while. He didn't say a word.
Zhang Tang was also immersed in his own memories and thoughts. This was really … he didn't want to believe it.
…
The room was quiet. The few people still hadn't recovered from this confirmed news. Wang Yi rushed to the screen and returned after receiving orders to investigate Wang Ju.
He looked at the expressions of Chen Jue, Li Xiao, and Zhang Tang in the room. He didn't understand what was going on.
Zhang Tang shook his head and sighed. "The murderer of the Dried Corpses Case is Liu Rui. Some of the servants and guards confessed."
Wang Yi's sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly. He pursed his lips.
Chen Jue looked up and saw that Wang Yi had returned. He took a deep breath and said, "Speak."
His voice was heavy. It was obvious that he was frustrated.
Anyone would feel depressed when they thought that they had to investigate the only son of their colleagues and subordinates.
Even Chen Jue, who looked strict and cold.
Wang Yi quickly composed himself.
"Sir, apart from staying in the House of Liu, Wang Ju also went out of the residence to have a meal with Liu Tongren, the external steward of the House of Liu."
Wang Yi said somewhat cautiously. He was still immersed in Lord Chen's sudden anger, which made him somewhat unable to react.
Chen Jue glanced at Wang Yi. Wang Yi stood up straight and swallowed his saliva cautiously.
Chen Jue frowned. "And then?"
"Oh …" Wang Yi realized that Lord Chen wasn't looking at him because he didn't like him. Lord Chen was waiting for him to continue.
He quickly cleared his throat. "Lord Liu has two stewards. One is the external steward and the other is the internal steward.
The internal steward is in the residence and has been temporarily restricted from entering and leaving.
We're keeping an eye on the external steward. "
"Where is Liu Tongren now?" Chen Jue asked.
"Liu Tongren seems to have suffered a heavy blow these past few days. He's been drinking at the restaurant in front of his house every day. He doesn't even care about Lord Liu's shops," Wang Yi said.
"Let's go to that restaurant!" Chen Jue said.
