The group's favorite master, the story of a cute baby who travels through the book and defies t

The two of them walked and stopped all the way to the territory of Wuliang Sect. In the blink of an eye, several months had passed.

That day, they arrived at a town called "Deqing Town". As it is located at the junction of three realms, Deqing Town has a very high flow of people, making it a very bustling town.

After settling down, Luo Yiyi took Qi Gui to stroll on the street as usual. Halfway through their stroll, the vendors on the street began to pack up their stalls and all rushed to one place.

Luo Yiyi looked up at the sky where the sun was high, and confirmed that it was far from time to close the stall. She became extremely curious about these people's actions.

After Qi Gui made some inquiries, they found out that a major homicide case in the town was about to be tried in court. As the case involved too many people and the criminal method was extremely brutal, the trial had been going on intermittently for more than half a month and was only coming to an end today.

Luo Yiyi would certainly not miss such a good show. She pulled Qi Gui's hand and hurried to the yamen gate excitedly, but the gate was already blocked by people in three layers.

The thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket Qi Gui immediately used two invisibility talismans, then put his arms around Luo Yiyi's waist and brought her directly over the wall to the yamen. He then took her hand and walked into the lobby openly, standing aside and watching closely.

Luo Yiyi gave her capable apprentice a thumbs up, and then her attention was drawn to the classroom.

This brutal murder occurred in a wealthy family in the town, whose surname was Xu.

The Xu family has been a single-line family for three generations. Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu have a son named Xu Changyi.

Xu Changyi was smart and academically successful since childhood. When he grew up, he showed extraordinary talent for business. He was taken care of by Master Xu and taught and trained personally at an early age.

In addition, just like many pure love stories in vernacular novels, Xu Changyi has a childhood sweetheart named Lin Shuhui, who is the daughter of the mayor of Deqing Town. In terms of family background, the two are well-matched, talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven.

When both of them are 15 years old, their parents will hold a wedding ceremony for them.

The young couple lived happily after marriage and were filial to their parents. At that time, their story became a piece of praise for a while.

But how happy we were then, how miserable we are now, a year later.

Half a month ago, Xu Bo, the old steward of the Xu family, rushed to the yamen covered in blood. He was so frightened that his mind was confused and he kept repeating one sentence.

"The young lady killed someone, the young lady killed someone..."

The yamen runners didn't believe it subconsciously. After all, Lin Shuhui lived up to her name. Her every move was the elegant demeanor that only a lady from a noble family could cultivate. In addition, she was kind-hearted. Her husband, who worked for her on weekdays, had been doing good deeds, not only to accumulate virtue for the family, but also to win a good reputation for Xu Changyi. She was a true virtuous wife.

But the blood on Xu Bo's body made their scalps tingle, so they could only report it and send four yamen runners to check it out.

The result was horrifying!

According to the yamen runners at the time, when they arrived at the Xu Mansion, the usually bustling place was dead silent.

I pushed the door open carefully, and what I saw was corpses all over the floor!

The corpses were all stabbed multiple times, and many were even missing arms and legs. Some had expressions of surprise, some of fear, and their deaths were extremely strange and terrifying.

Two of the four new yamen runners were so frightened that their legs went limp that they fell to the ground and trembled all over. Only after being slapped hard twice by two experienced yamen runners did they barely suppress their fear. However, their legs were still shaking and they could not walk at all.

The two old yamen runners were helpless. They asked Xu Bo to go to the yamen to call more runners, and instructed the two newcomers to guard the door and not let any outsiders in or out. They continued to search inside.

Since they had been to Xu's house before, the two old runners remembered its structure and quickly searched most of it.

It was not until they arrived at the courtyard where the young master and mistress of the Xu family lived that the nightmare began.

In the small courtyard, maids and servants in servants' clothes were lying on the ground, but Lin Shuhui was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard.

When they saw clearly that the object she was holding in her hands was actually the head of her husband Xu Changyi, the two old yamen runners were so frightened that they almost fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, they were experienced and knew that if they fainted on the spot, they might be killed the next moment, so they held on and did not fall down. However, the scene was too bloody and weird, so they could only hide outside the courtyard and wait for support to arrive.

While waiting, they were both afraid and curious, and couldn't help but stick their heads out to see what Lin Shuhui was doing.

She held her husband's severed head in both hands and kept muttering, but her voice was so soft that the two yamen runners hiding outside the door could not hear what she was saying.

Occasionally she would pause, hold Xu Changyi's head up to the level of her eyes, then she would look loving and gently kiss Xu Changyi's red lips.

Next, she would lower her head and repeat the previous state of murmuring, until she repeated the action of kissing the severed head.

Finally, when the supporting yamen runners arrived, the two old runners could no longer bear the fear in their hearts, their eyes rolled back, and they fainted.

When they woke up, they had returned to the government office, and the news they received was -

Lin Shuhui brutally killed all 74 members of the Xu family. Only the old housekeeper Xu Bo, who was out on business at the time, managed to escape.

This case caused a sensation in the town. Even though Mayor Lin tried desperately to save his beloved daughter, the anger of the people would never allow him to do so.

However, after a series of trials, Zhou Shihai, who was in charge of the government office, felt extremely troubled.

Lin Shuhui's murder case seems to be a done deal, but there are many more questions.

First of all, no one saw Lin Shuhui kill anyone.

The old butler Fu Bo also caught the servant who wanted to escape after entering the house, and heard the story from the servant. However, the servant, who was only one breath left, died immediately after he finished speaking. Fu Bo then immediately went to the government office. It can be said that there was no direct eyewitness when the murderer committed the crime.

Secondly, Lin Shuhui had no motive to kill.

Whether from the people around her or the survey results, it can be confirmed that Lin Shuhui grew up in a stable and peaceful environment. After marrying into the Xu family, although she was busy every day, she always had a happy smile on her face.

How could an ordinary woman who came from a good family, married the person she loved when she grew up, had a harmonious relationship with her parents-in-law, and was loved by the servants suddenly commit such a cruel murder? Not to mention that the people she killed with her own hands were all the people she loved and liked.

Finally, the key point is that Lin Shuhui’s own attitude is very strange.

She seemed crazy but was very different from a crazy person. Since she was arrested, she had been very calm. She did not feel the pain of her lover's death nor the fear or guilt of killing someone.

Even more bizarre is her attitude towards murder: she admitted that she killed 74 members of the Xu family, but she never mentioned the method or process of the murder.

Zhou Shihai even resorted to torture for this, but even though Lin Shuhui fainted from the pain numerous times, she still refused to reveal a single word, and he was really helpless in doing anything about it.

You said the case was closed? The man admitted to the murder, but he didn't explain the process at all. It's too hasty to close the case like this.

You said you won't close the case? The people's protests are getting more and more serious, and even the higher-ups are asking about the matter. If we drag it on, it will only lead to a deadlock.

Zhou Shihai, who was determined to be an honest official, looked at Lin Shuhui kneeling expressionlessly in the hall and sighed secretly.
