Chapter 47: Murder
As Lin Xuan expected, the deceased was the Lingtai mage who practiced during the day, but the scene was a little tragic, even if Lin Xuan felt sour in his stomach after seeing it.
I saw that this Lingtai mage was covered with scars, as if he had been scratched and bitten to death by some wild beast, and his eyes were glaring, and the surroundings were in a mess, and it seemed that he should have had a fierce resistance.
Lin Xuan felt that this was the murderer's intention to link the murder with the matter of the female ghost, so he chose such a modus operandi.
"There's no way, since someone has already died, then notify the government immediately, right?" Wan Qifeng on the side said helplessly.
"None of you should talk nonsense about today's matter, the government will come in a while, just tell the truth, if you add anything, be careful that you will be treated as a suspect," Wan Qifeng warned the villains around him.
These people have long been frightened by this scene, and the six gods have no master, where else can they have any other thoughts, so they can only nod vigorously.
"Lin Gongzi, please forgive me if you are offended for a while" Wan Qifeng then remembered Lin Xuan on the side.
Lin Xuan knew that things had developed like this, and once the government entered, he would definitely not be able to stay out of the matter, but in such an impasse, it might not be a good thing for Lin Xuan to have an external force enter.
"It's okay, I also want to know what's behind all this" Lin Xuan's eyes were firmly fixed on Wan Qifeng, he had a hunch that this matter was inseparable from Wan Qifeng.
Wan Qifeng also sensed Lin Xuan's doubts, but he only smiled slightly and did not explain.
Ancheng's capture was indeed fast, and he soon came to Wanfu.
After a detailed investigation, Ma Zhi, the head catcher of Ancheng, walked over to Lin Xuan and the others.
"Did anyone do anything strange today?" Ma Zhi's gaze naturally shifted to Lin Xuan's body.
Lin Xuan was speechless at this thought, there were more than twenty people here, why did they stare at him as soon as they came up?
"There is indeed a strange thing" Lin Xuan still decided to tell Ma Zhi what happened just now, he wanted the government to come forward to help him solve some problems.
Ma Zhi was also very puzzled after hearing this, so many people in Wanfu didn't find anything, but it was Lin Xuan who found the trace of the murderer?
"If you don't believe it, we can go and see the sword marks on the courtyard wall," Lin Xuan knew that as soon as this matter was said, he would first become the object of suspicion, but if he didn't say it, it would be even more troublesome to be found out in the future.
"I believe in you, but you must be with me during this time" Ma Zhi also noticed the difference in Lin Xuan.
"Okay" Lin Xuan responded directly.
"What do you think about this?" Ma Zhi and Lin Xuan asked after returning to the wing.
"You just believe me?" Lin Xuan felt a little strange, this Ma Zhi didn't seem to have a trace of doubt about himself.
"I also know that Old Man Wan wrote to Lord Zhou for help before, and you will naturally have no problem as his senior apprentice, and it will depend on you for this time" Ma Zhi, as the head catcher of Ancheng, also investigated the affairs of the Wan family, and Lin Xuan's identity was naturally not a secret.
"I don't dare to rely on it, I just think that this matter is inseparable from the bizarre things that happened in Wanfu," Lin Xuan said honestly, although he had some suspicions in his heart now, there was no evidence to prove it after all.
"Wanfu is haunted?" Ma Zhi also frowned.
"By the way, can you tell me about that concubine in the Wan family back then?" Lin Xuan was now eager to know the ins and outs of this matter.
Ma Zhi looked at Lin Xuan suspiciously, thought for a moment, and then said: "This incident happened when I first arrived in Ancheng, so I remember it very clearly, about four years ago, Master Wan suddenly fell in love with a geisha in the Qinglou in Ancheng. At that time, Wanfu was unanimously opposed, but he couldn't resist Master Wan's willingness, so he ransomed her body and named her Liu Qian, Liu Qian became Master Wan's concubine, although she didn't often interact with people, but I heard that the two of them were harmonious, and they were also envious of others, but somehow when Master Wan went out once, this Liu Qian suddenly escaped from Wanfu, and under the siege and interception of Wanfu, she would rather choose to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river than being arrested, which was really a miracle.
Lin Xuan was even more puzzled this time, this version and what Wan Qifeng said were completely two versions, and there were more doubts in them, first of all, as a Qinglou woman, Master Wan had already treated her sincerely by ransomeding her and accepting her as a concubine, and since the relationship between them was so good, why did they suddenly choose to run away or even throw themselves into the river in the end?
"Don't you think there's something wrong with it?" Lin Xuan felt that since he could detect it, then Ma Zhi should also notice it.
"There are more dirty things in this big family, we are just a small catcher, even if we find something, it will not help, and besides, this matter was personally suppressed by Master Wan, so we have nothing to say" Obviously, Ma Zhi also remembered the things of the year.
"Shall we go to the Qinglou tomorrow?" Lin Xuan thought for a while and said a word.
Ma Zhi first looked at Lin Xuan in shock, and then nodded excitedly, instantly feeling that he could make friends with Lin Xuan, after all, the two had similar temperaments.
Lin Xuan looked at Ma Zhi's lewd smile and felt very helpless.
"Who did you say you were looking for, not only could you not help me suppress the matter, but you also died in the mansion and provoked the government?" In a secluded chamber, Wan Qifeng reproached Wan Qidao.
"I didn't know he was so useless, what now?" Wan Qidao didn't expect things to turn in this direction.
"That Lin Xuan and Ma Zhi are not fuel-efficient lamps, we have to think of a way to get out" Wan Qifeng knew that the most troublesome thing now was these two people, and they had to deal with it carefully.
"Shall we ...... or not" Wan Qidao made a killing gesture.
"Don't be stupid, doing it to them will only make things worse" Wan Qifeng didn't want to do it once and for all, but he understood that the forces behind these two people were not something he could provoke.
"Now find out that slut first, as long as she is dead, everything is dead without proof" Wan Qifeng said viciously, human life is as cheap as an ant in his eyes.
"All I know" Wan Qidao replied.
"Now Wanfu can only rely on you and my brother, as for the third child, he has already read and read stupidly" Wan Qifeng looked like he hated iron but not steel when he mentioned the third child of the Wan family.
"By the way, tomorrow, you find a suitable time to get to know Lin Xuan," Wan Qifeng said immediately.
Wan Qidao frowned and nodded.
After Wan Qifeng left, Wan Qidao said viciously, "Old Fox", he naturally knew why Wan Qifeng asked him to meet Lin Xuan, because in this way, once the matter was revealed, he would not be able to get out of the way.
"Second Master", a woman dressed in red walked out from behind Wan Qidao.
"You heard it, he didn't take your life seriously at all," Wan Qidao said with a grim smile.
"Ask the second master to avenge me," the woman knelt at Wan Qidao's feet and begged.
"That's natural, as long as you listen to me obediently, I will definitely let you leave Wanfu and let you live a peaceful life," Wan Qidao helped the woman up, and the woman's pale face also had a bit of charm under the flickering candlelight.
When Wan Qidao was about to go further, the woman directly pushed him away.
"I am your father's concubine" I didn't expect this woman to be Liu Qian, who threw herself into the river four years ago.
"Maybe I like women who are happy with each other" Seeing that Liu Qian didn't follow all the ways, she no longer insisted on it.
"Have you been seeing my father lately?" Wan Qidao asked.
"How is he?" As soon as Wan Ming was mentioned, Liu Qian immediately became nervous, and it could be seen that there was indeed a relationship between them.
"It's not good, maybe I'm dying" Wan Qidao didn't have the slightest respect when he talked about Wan Ming, as if the one lying on the bed was an insignificant person.
