Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Perhaps having sensed Jiang Xinxin's intention to leave, Li Lianhua could not think of any words to keep her. She could only hope that Jiang Xinxin would encounter something that would interest her next. So when they entered Yuanbao Villa, Li Lianhua praised Fang Duobing again and again, which was unusual for her. Fang Duobing felt embarrassed and even began to suspect that he was up to something bad again to abandon him.

Seeing this, Jiang Xinxin was convinced and took the initiative to say, "Fang Xiaobao, why don't you follow me? I just helped Li Lianhua detoxify, and he can't abandon me too."

Fang Duobing thought it was right and started to stick to Jiang Xinxin.

Although Li Lianhua knew that Fang Duobing had no such intentions towards Jiang Xinxin, and Jiang Xinxin felt the same way about Fang Duobing, she still felt uncomfortable seeing them starting to become intimate.

The owner of Yuanbao Villa is named Jin Mantang, a very festive name, and he looks quite festive too. It's a pity that he claims to be troubled by a family genetic disease, so he invites famous doctors from all over the world to visit him just to treat his tree-man syndrome.

"What kind of disease is tree-man syndrome? Is it very serious? Even that blue human head thing can't be cured?" Fang Duobing asked quietly.

Jiang Xinxin vaguely heard of the tree-man syndrome. According to modern medicine, the tree-man syndrome should be a disease caused by a genetic disorder, and as the name suggests, it should be some kind of skin disease.

Li Lianhua is well-informed. Seeing that Jiang Xinxin seemed to be lost in thought, she quickly explained, "When this tree-man syndrome strikes, a person's skin will turn into hard lumps like tree bark..."

As they were talking, Jin Mantang on the other end pulled up his sleeves and asked everyone to look at his arms. Sure enough, there were some gray-black lump-like things on his arms, which did look a bit like tree bark.

Jin Mantang was a particular person. Although he showed everyone the symptoms at the beginning, he rolled down his sleeves and asked everyone to have a good night's rest, as it would be better to treat the disease after sufficient rest.

All the doctors who were invited to the hospital felt that Jin Mantang’s arrangement was very thoughtful, but they had all heard about the rumors about the blue human head in Yuanbao Villa and hoped to see it for themselves.

Jin Mantang also readily agreed that as long as his tree-man disease could be cured, he would not give the blue human head away, but he could lend it to everyone for use.

Then the old guy Jin Mantang said that someone wanted to steal Bo Lan’s head recently, so he wanted to ask everyone to help protect his family’s treasure.

After hearing this, Jiang Xinxin could already guess that there might be something wrong with this Jin Mantang. In fact, based on her experience of reading novels, the person who wanted to steal the Bo Lan head might be the real owner of the Bo Lan head. Jin Mantang might have taken possession of someone else's treasure through some improper means, and now the owner wants to take it back.

Jiang Xinxin had such a guess, so she told Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing directly, "These are just my random guesses. After all, Jin Mantang seems to be a bit troublesome. And his tree man syndrome seems to have just occurred. According to my experience, if he can't undergo a relatively complete marrow cleansing and meridian cutting, even if his own symptoms can be alleviated, his offspring will still inherit his genes."

Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing certainly believed in Jiang Xinxin's intuition, but they could not act rashly based on intuition alone. So Fang Duobing revealed his identity as the young master of Tianji Villa and offered to help design some mechanisms to protect Bo Lan's head and catch the person with bad intentions.

Jin Mantang naturally agreed to this and even opened the door for convenience. Especially when it was almost dark and he saw the mechanisms all over his room, he could not hide the joy and relaxation on his face.

Seeing Jin Mantang's performance, what else could Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing not understand? This Jin Mantang is really a piece of shit!

However, the play must still be performed.

Fang Duobing took the initiative to guard the yard where Jin Mantang lived for a whole night but found that the mechanism had not been triggered. He washed up and went to have breakfast in peace. However, when he arrived at the place and was about to eat, he found that Jin Mantang was missing.

Out of everyone's concern, the housekeeper also prepared to go and see Jin Mantang, but when he arrived there, he found that Jin Mantang was nowhere to be seen, and even the quilt on the bed looked unused.

A group of people in the martial arts world, encountering such a situation, have begun to speculate in some unexpected direction. However, Butler Jin secretly guides Fang Duobing to open the secret room in Jin Mantang's house. In the secret room, besides the dead Jin Mantang, there is another person.

In this regard, Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but take a closer look at the fortunes of Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing, and found that their fortunes were both quite normal. She really couldn't understand why murders seemed to happen wherever they went.

"Would you two like to find some time to go and get rid of your bad luck? I've noticed that you guys always seem to go to places where accidents happen."

Li Lianhua immediately jumped out to refute: "This has nothing to do with me. After all, I have been in the martial arts world for many years, and I only encountered such a thing recently. It must be Fang Xiaobao's fault!"

Fang Duobing was of course not happy to be blamed for nothing, and he recounted the cases he had experienced with Li Lianhua in the past few days one by one: "How funny! When I first met you, you were involved in the Miaoshoukongkong case. Miaoshoukongkong pretended to be dead so it doesn't count as a death, but when you were in Lingshan Sect, you were the first to arrive at Lingshan Sect, but they just didn't let you in!"

"Next is Yucheng. It was you who arrived at Xiaomian Inn first!"

"And you were the first one to arrive at Wei Zhuang!"

"You were the first one to go to Cailian Manor!"

Jiang Xinxin suppressed her smile and concluded: "It sounds like our Doctor Li is indeed more unlucky~"

Although Li Lianhua was indeed more unlucky in the past ten years, he was determined not to take the blame and soon came up with a rebuttal: "I am a doctor after all. I see injuries and bruises every day. I am not like you, a criminal detective. All I have encountered since my debut are murder cases!"

Fang Duobing really had nothing to say about this. He could only cross his arms in frustration and compete with Li Lianhua to see whose eyes were bigger.

Now a murder case occurred, involving two lives. Fang Duobing hurriedly took Li Lianhua to re-investigate the scene. People outside were already clamoring for the guests to prove their innocence.

Jiang Xinxin did not see the soul of Jin Mantang or the other person. All she could see at the scene was a simple fight that seemed to show some physical contact between them when they were alive, and nothing more could be seen.

But when she saw that there was not only carbon ash but also some heart-breaking things under the vent, she instantly felt that Jin Mantang's death might not be simple, so she called Li Lianhua to go outside and check out the vent.
