Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Wang Bashi was a very cautious person. Even though he wanted to communicate with Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing, he still did not take any action. Instead, Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing unexpectedly met He Xiaohui, the owner of Tianji Villa, on their way back to the inn!

Fang Duobing just felt his scalp tingling. He came here to investigate a case. If his mother came, he might have to go back to Tianji Villa with her after the case was over. He didn't know when he would be able to go out again.

But when He Xiaohui saw her son getting together with a well-mannered young man, she was extremely happy. She didn't like those chivalrous men outside. Knowing martial arts was nothing, and it was also a good thing to fight against evil and help the weak, but it was not okay to just care about things outside and ignore what was happening at home!

However, He Xiaohui also knew that a child of Fang Duobing's age could not be forced, so she let him travel around the world many times, partly for the purpose of giving him experience and partly to help him fulfill his dream.

Although Tianji Villa is famous for its various mechanisms, in fact, Tianji Villa is also very well-informed. Therefore, He Xiaohui also secretly inquired about Li Lianhua and Jiang Xinxin, two people who had unusual origins at first glance. But just to show respect, she only inquired about some superficial information and did not get a deep understanding.

But He Xiaohui still noticed Li Lianhua's intelligence.

He Xiaohui took Li Lianhua and wanted to invite him to her home. Fang Duobing only had time to explain that he and Li Lianhua were not the only ones traveling together, and that Jiang Xinxin and Su Xiaoyong were also waiting for them at the inn.

He Xiaohui waved her hand and said, "Isn't our house big enough for us to live in? Besides, since I, your mother, have met you, I must show my hospitality as a host."

There was no way, Li Lianhua couldn't refuse, so Fang Duobing had to go to the inn and invite Jiang Xinxin and Su Xiaoyong to visit him.

Su Xiaoyong just found out that Fang Duobing's mother, the owner of Tianji Villa, had also come to Xiaoyuan City, and came to invest in real estate.

Su Xiaoyong couldn't help but encourage Fang Duobing, "Since Master He has come to invest in real estate, we must catch that living devil so that the girls in the city don't have to worry anymore. This way, the house you bought at a low price can be worth more."

Fang Duobing felt a little embarrassed. He always felt a little uncomfortable when the investigation was linked to his family's interests.

Jiang Xinxin comforted him, "Don't think it's a big deal. It just happened to be a coincidence. After all, you didn't tell your family that you were coming to Xiaoyuan City before we set out. Manor Master He came to invest on a whim, and the King of Hell's marriage has nothing to do with any of us."

When He Xiaohui saw Jiang Xinxin and Su Xiaoyong, she felt that there were two men and two women here, which was a perfect match. She immediately wanted to be a matchmaker. While there was still some time before lunch, she took a group of people to wander around the house, hoping to create more opportunities for these young men and women.

She couldn't tell what was going on with Fang Duobing and Su Xiaoyong, but it was obvious that Li Lianhua had some feelings for Jiang Xinxin!

He Xiaohui was wealthy and powerful, so she hired a lot of people right away and repaired a lot of places. However, there was a small courtyard in the backyard that was full of broken walls and looked too dilapidated. It would take some time and money to fix it.

As she was turning, Su Xiaoyong kicked a pebble beside the dry well. She didn't think much about it, but Li Lianhua and Jiang Xinxin seemed to be thinking about something.

There were so many people coming and going here that it wasn't a good place to talk. Li Lianhua winked at Fang Duobing, and everyone went back to their rooms to talk.

Li Lianhua said directly: "Just now, Su Xiaoyong kicked the goose-warming stone in the backyard, but we all saw that there is no place in this house where the goose-warming stone is needed, and the owner of the manor, He, also said that this house was bought from the government. The previous owner died in the fire and it has been abandoned for so many years."

Fang Duobing continued, "So the presence of pebbles in this house must be unusual. It's even possible that the living devil behind this is using this haunted house to hide his whereabouts!"

After the meal, everyone was originally going to go down to the dry well in the backyard to check, but unexpectedly He Xiaohui invited a doctor to come to her house. Fang Duobing immediately stepped forward to ask about He Xiaohui's health. He Xiaohui herself was a little embarrassed, but facing a group of people's concern for her, she could only tell the truth: "Oh, I just have a little bit of acclimatization, and my stomach is a little uncomfortable, so I invited a doctor to come to my house to check."

Fang Duobing pulled Li Lianhua over and waited for the doctor to check He Xiaohui's pulse and prescribe medicine. After sending the doctor away, he asked Li Lianhua and Jiang Xinxin to help He Xiaohui as well.

Li Lianhua is good at treating injuries from falls, but she has difficulty treating other diseases. So after Jiang Xinxin took He Xiaohui's pulse, she said to everyone, "Master He does have some stomach discomfort. He should eat lighter food recently. He will be fine after a few days of adaptation. This prescription is indeed a good one."

But Li Lianhua, who paid special attention to Jiang Xinxin, felt that the last look the doctor gave Jiang Xinxin when he just left was a little strange.

If it were any other time, he would inevitably think that everyone has a love of beauty, but in this small remote city, the story of the King of Hell getting married has been around for a long time, and many girls have been victims, so he had to think more about it.

Going down the dry well, it is really easy to get lost in the numerous tunnels underneath, if Fang Duobing and Su Xiaoyong had not been marking them in their own way.

From this, Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but think: "Could it be that this pebble is also used as a mark?"

After going up, Li Lianhua and Jiang Xinxin went to find Wang Bashi, while Fang Duobing and Su Xiaoyong went to find the former jade carving masters to inquire about the rules in the tunnel.

Wang Bashi really wanted to tell them the news he knew. He said that he had been engaged to a girl who was married by the King of Hell, but before he could make it public, the girl was taken away, and he also found the girl's body outside the city.

Although it was not convenient to dig up the grave for an autopsy, at least we learned from Wang Bashi the location where the bodies were dumped, and that the bodies of the girls showed that they all died of poisoning.

In addition, Wang Bashi also told them that before the girl he liked was taken away by the King of Hell, the only unusual thing that happened in her home was that she had seen a doctor.

Jiang Xinxin thought for a moment, "I originally thought that the common point of these girls was that they had been to temples or places like the City God Temple. Now it seems that it is also possible that these girls have invited doctors to their homes."

Sure enough, after the two returned, they received a box of copper coins and a marriage certificate with the money for the house that He Xiaohui had just bought, which further confirmed Jiang Xinxin's point of view.
