Chapter 497 The True Identity of the Murderer
Zhao Yuanzhou looked at Ying Lei and Bai Jiu, two miserable kids, and gave each of them a chestnut. "That's wrong!"
Ying Lei and Bai Jiu, the two little fools, were immediately attracted by Zhao Yuanzhou's words, "Big demon! Why do you say that?"
"Yes, yes! Great demon, why do you say such things?"
Bai Jiu is a doctor who has not experienced many large mansions. His mind is very simple. "This Miss Zhao doesn't even have a name, and she has to obey her future husband's family. If she marries a good family in the future, it will be a new beginning. If she marries a bad family, won't her life be over?"
Bai Jiu thought about what Zhao Yuanzhou had just said and changed the subject, "But from what I just heard from you, Great Demon, Mr. Zhao probably won't find a good family for his daughter."
Ying Lei, standing beside Bai Jiu, echoed, "That's right! How can a father who can use his daughter as a pawn choose a good family for his daughter?"
Zhao Yuanzhou looked at the two little fools, shook his head, and said with a sigh, "So, didn't Miss Zhao find the most stupid way to dissuade her father from his idea?"
Ying Lei came to his senses instantly and looked at Zhao Yuanzhou in surprise, then looked at Pei Sijing and Wen Xiao. However, when he saw Zhuo Yichen who was in a state of confusion, he felt that this reaction was both expected and unexpected.
"Zhao Yuanzhou, do you mean that the recent bride deaths in Liushui Town were all caused by this Miss Zhao?"
Zhao Yuanzhou gave Ying Lei an approving look, "You are half right! If the incident was caused by Miss Zhao, then the murderer is not Miss Zhao."
Zhuo Yichen looked at Zhao Yuanzhou, who had spent a long time talking but still didn't get to the point, and directly hit Zhao Yuanzhou with the Cloud Light Sword, "Speak to the point!"
Ying Lei, Bai Jiu, Pei Sijing and Wen Xiao looked at Zhao Yuanzhou who was being beaten but did not dare to fight back. They all looked up at the sky and the ground, ignoring the resentful look from Zhao Yuanzhou.
"Didn't we go to the Zhao residence this morning? I smelled some evil spirits in the residence. Although it was very little, I still found it!"
Wen Xiao asked anxiously: "Then do you know what kind of monster it is?"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuanzhou shrugged and said, "I don't know! There is only a little bit of residue, and it is outside the mansion. How can I smell it so detailed?"
Wen Xiao looked at him with a fake smile, "Then you really helped us a lot?"
Pei Sijing stood aside, looking into the distance expressionlessly, "We can just close the case now!"
Bai Jiu and Ying Lei also gave Zhao Yuanzhou a compliment.
"That's amazing! We didn't even have to do anything! The case is closed!"
"Yes, yes! This is the fastest case we have ever handled!"
Zhao Yuanzhou's eyes widened. "I suspect you are cursing me in secret!"
Zhuo Yichen had no experience in lying, so he directly summarized what the others said, "I'm not lying in secret, I'm speaking openly."
After Zhuo Yichen finished speaking, the people around him couldn't hold back their laughter anymore.
Zhao Yuanzhou was helpless!
Zhao Yuanzhou is angry!
Zhao Yuanzhou could only swallow the bitter fruit!
Zhao Yuanzhou went straight over and stuck to Zhuo Yichen, saying coquettishly: "Xiao Zhuo~ How could you bear to see me suffer~"
"speak nicely!"
Zhao Yuanzhou immediately returned to normal, "Since those brides were found in the water, it must have been done by a monster in the water."
After hearing the only useful news today, Zhuo Yichen grabbed the Yun Guang Sword and was about to go to the pond outside the city where the bride's body was found to investigate, but as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Zhao Yuanzhou.
"Don't worry, Xiao Zhuo! Pei Sijing and I can go to the pond, and you and Wen Xiao can go to the Zhao Mansion to find out the situation."
After Zhao Yuanzhou arranged activities for the four people, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Ying Lei and Bai Jiu.
Zhuo Yichen and Wen Xiao looked at Zhao Yuanzhou who was stopped and saw that he did not show any sign of wanting to help. They left the box very swiftly.
"Zhao Yuanzhou/Great Demon, what about us? How can we help you?"
"You two little brats, stay where you are!"
Ying Lei and Bai Jiu were instantly irritated by Zhao Yuanzhou, "Why? We are also members of the team!"
Zhao Yuanzhou was pulled by two men, one by one, and they demanded an explanation. Zhao Yuanzhou shook casually, and a red and black power emanated from his body, gently pushing Ying Lei and Bai Jiu away.
"You two, a cook and a doctor, what are you going to do there? Yinglei, tell me what you can do there? Are you going to show people how to cook? Xiaola... Xiaojiu, are you going to show people how to give acupuncture?"
Ying Lei and Bai Jiu were so fooled by Zhao Yuanzhou that they no longer chased after him for an explanation. They could only smile awkwardly and send Zhao Yuanzhou and Pei Sijing away.
When the others walked away, Pei Siheng's words suddenly woke them up, "Brother Yinglei, although you are a cook, you are also a small mountain god, and you still have some divine power. How can you only be able to perform cooking skills for others as Brother Zhao said?"
Pei Siheng turned his head and looked at Bai Jiu with a silly face, "Doctor Xiaojiu's medical skills are praised by everyone in Tiandu City, and with the guidance of Brother Yuanzheng, even if I can't help much, I can still do a simple autopsy for those deceased brides."
Ying Lei and Bai Jiu suddenly realized, "That's right! How come we were fooled by Zhao Yuanzhou!"
"Pei Sihuan, let's drive the carriage and catch up! We must make Zhao Yuanzhou give us an explanation this time!"
"Yes! You always fool us like this and keep calling us stupid!"
"Did he just want to call me Little Trumpet? How am I like a Little Trumpet?"
Bai Jiu suddenly remembered the vague name Zhao Yuanzhou uttered when he looked at him, and then he thought of the name Zhao Yuanzhou always used when he called him in the Demon Collection Bureau.
Pei Siheng looked at the two people who were already angry, raised his lips slightly, hitched up the carriage and walked to their side, "Hurry up and get in the carriage! If you're late, you won't be able to catch up with them!"
While Ying Lei and Bai Jiu were discussing, Pei Siheng had already driven a carriage to their side. He immediately climbed up and chased after Zhao Yuanzhou who had already arrived at the pond with Pei Sijing.
Pei Siheng was in a very good mood and took the time to complain to Ying Lei and Bai Jiu about Zhao Yuanzhou, the big liar.
Zhao Yuanzhou and Pei Sijing came to the pond outside Liushui Town where the bride's body was found. There was a foul odor in the water, and Zhao Yuanzhou also smelled a hint of aquatic creatures.
Although Pei Sijing was also the daughter of a Tiandu family, she was different from those delicate young ladies. She only frowned slightly at the stench, "This is where the bride's body was sunk. The smell is so strong that I'm afraid the real murderer is hiding in there."
Zhao Yuanzhou seemed to have been confident and was strolling leisurely by the pool. After a while, a white smoke rose from the pool and instantly enveloped Zhao Yuanzhou and Pei Sijing.
Zhuo Yichen and Wen Xiao had also arrived at the gate of the Zhao Mansion. Zhuo Yichen went forward and knocked on the door, and it took a long time before someone from the mansion responded.
"Who!"
"Demon Collection Division——Zhuo Yichen!"
After Zhuo Yichen introduced himself, there was a clanging sound from inside. After the door was opened, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler poked his head out with a grin.
"It turns out to be Lord Zhuo! You really bring honor to my humble Zhao residence!"
The butler ordered the servant to open the door and welcome Zhuo Yichen into the house.
Wen Xiao followed Zhuo Yichen, feeling a little disappointed! She had thought she could see the scene in the picture book where Zhuo Yichen was embarrassed and then led his army to attack the Zhao Mansion.
Zhuo Yichen noticed the disappointment on Wen Xiao's face. He stepped back a few steps and asked softly about the reason. He couldn't help but feel helpless. "The people in the Zhao Mansion are not that stupid! No matter how powerful they are in Liushui Town, they are just commoners like those people in the palace. They can bully others in their own little piece of land, but if they really meet people from the government, they will only nod and flatter them!"
Wen Xiao curled his lips in disappointment, "Okay! But, next time you go to the palace gate, can you take me with you? I think..." He was trying to show off his power in front of those biased old guys at the palace gate.
Zhuo Yichen looked at Wen Xiao's face and already knew what she had not finished saying, but what did it matter? After all, it was for the good of his brother Yuanzheng, and he couldn't stop it, right?
Zhuo Yichen looked helpless, but nodded without hesitation, "Just don't go too far!"
After getting Zhuo Yichen's approval, Wen Xiao no longer cared about not seeing the scenes in the storybook.
