Chapter 25: Haunted by water ghosts
Nan Jing couldn't care about Ye Junchen's face, and helped Nan Ling to leave the scene of the murder.
Regarding Nanjing's attitude, Ye Junchen was not moved.
His mind at this time fell on the scene just now.
There is no one in the world who bursts and dies for no reason, but in front of him, there is no murderer in such a bloody case, if it is known by someone with a heart, he will definitely make a big fuss about it.
Perhaps, what he feared most had happened.
In order to eradicate dissidents, the prince created strange cases everywhere, in order to find his fault and treat him for a capital crime, and in the end, innocent people were implicated.
Thinking of this, Ye Junchen's face became more and more ugly.
Liu Dayuan stood aside and instructed the arrester to collect the corpses in the room, and drew the location of the corpses on the ground with charcoal to ensure that the murder scene could be accurately simulated during the second scene investigation.
Yu Guang kept peeking at the adult's face, thinking that it was because of Nan Jing's attitude just now that the adult was angry, so he thought about it for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to walk to Ye Junchen's side.
I was about to speak, but someone suddenly said something.
"It's really strange that at such a bloody murder scene, this bed is not stained with blood."
These words made Ye Junchen and Liu Dayuan's eyes look over.
The golden silk sandalwood bed is expensive, and a small inn simply can't buy such a bed, let alone use it to greet travelers, which is strange in itself.
So Ye Junchen had to suspect that it was a conspiracy of the princelings.
His eyes swept over, and it was really as he said, there was no blood, not to mention the bed, even the bedding was clean and terrible.
His mind couldn't help but hear the woman's words just now.
This bed......
Cannibalism.
Ye Junchen frowned, shook off this ridiculous idea, and told Liu Dayuan to turn around and leave, returning to Dali Temple.
His body was stained with blood, and he ordered Hanxing to boil water and bathe.
The whole person was soaked in hot water, and the tense nerves couldn't help but relax.
Slowly closing his eyes, thinking back to what had happened before, afraid that he had missed some clues.
A blister slowly popped up on the surface of the barrel's water, snapped, and exploded.
This was followed by the second.
It wasn't until the water in the wooden barrel was boiling and kept spitting that Ye Junchen's thoughts were pulled back.
Stunned, he quickly got up from the barrel, and a hand reached out from the water and grabbed his foot tightly, pulling it down hard.
Ye Junchen reacted instinctively and wanted to grab that hand, but he didn't expect the hand to pass through that wrist, and only water remained in the palm of his hand.
And the hand was still holding his ankle tightly.
Only then did he see that the hand was translucent, a hand made of water to be exact.
Before he could make the next move, dozens of hands quickly reached out in the bucket, grabbing his other ankle, two hands, shoulders, chest, trying to pull him into the water, trying to drown him in the water.
Ye Junchen kept shaking his body, even if he used his internal force, he couldn't break free from these hands, like a rope locking him tightly, sinking into the sea little by little.
I don't know how long later, the figure of a petite woman appeared on the water.
The water was agitated, and his consciousness was blurred, and he couldn't see who it was.
A pair of small, white hands quickly reached into the barrel and pulled him out of the water.
The moment I came out, I was in a trance, and the woman in front of me overlapped with the little girl in my impression.
Nian Nian ...... Is that you?
