Fang Duobing was more direct and told Su Xiaoyong everything about Zong Zheng Mingzhu coming to steal things and Xiao Bingpian's disappearance. He now suspected that Yuanbao Villa had some unspeakable secrets.

Li Lianhua has been taking medicine for many years and is naturally sensitive to smells, but he couldn't tell what the smell was at the moment, he just felt it was familiar.

"Do you smell a familiar scent? I can't remember where I've smelled it before."

After his reminder, everyone followed the smell. Chu Ji glanced at them, then quietly got down from the drum and walked to the other side to sit.

Now, a strange big drum appeared in front of everyone.

"Living Drum?!"

Su Xiaoyong is the granddaughter of Wanrence. She has seen a lot of the world and recognized at a glance that this was a living drum.

"Legend has it that the living spirit drum originated from a bad habit of ancient Nanyin. The drum maker would personally select a spiritual white ape and carefully raise it until it reaches adulthood. Only then would he pluck the ape's skin to make the drum surface and use the ape's bones to make the drumstick.

It is said that the sound of the drum can directly reach their gods."

"This is too cruel."

Not only did Fang Duobing feel it was cruel, even Su Xiaoyong himself felt his shoulders tremble.

Li Lianhua frowned and didn't speak for a long time.

But the hand he held on Chu Ji was obviously tighter than before.

Chu Ji’s reaction to this incident was even more indifferent. She had encountered even more cruel things. If she hadn’t met Boss Nie later, she wouldn’t have known whether she was the one being skinned or the one being skinned!!!

Li Lianhua felt that the people around her were in a bad mood. She turned around and saw Chu Ji's obscure eyes. She thought she was scared and quickly hugged her in her arms.

Comforting softly: "Don't be afraid~ I'm here!!"

Chu Ji closed his eyes and buried himself in Li Lianhua's arms. Smelling the fresh scent on his body, he instantly felt a lot more at ease.

Su Xiaoyong also thought that it was his words that scared Chu Ji, so he quickly walked over to apologize.

"It's okay! I just thought of some bad things!" Chu Ji reached out and stroked Su Xiaoyong's head gently, but was quickly caught back by Li Lianhua.

Chu Ji smiled apologetically at Su Xiaoyong, while Su Xiaoyong made a face at Li Lianhua.

Fang Duobing was unaware of their little tricks and asked curiously, "So the smell that Li Lianhua smelled just now was emitted by this Life Drum?! Does it have any special use? Is it for communicating with the gods?!"

"This smell is somewhat similar to the smell on Miss Zhiyu before." Chu Ji said in a low voice.

"Yes, yes, yes! I asked before out of curiosity. Miss Zhiyu said that Jin Mantang would light this kind of incense every time he took blood. Miss Zhiyu said that smelling this incense can numb the pain and give birth to a state of bliss. At that time, I thought she had too much blood taken and had a brain problem. How could there be such a fragrance?"

Just after saying this, Su Xiaoyong dug out a scent box from a corner. The smell was the same.

"Look, this should be the finished product, right?!"

When Li Lianhua saw what Su Xiaoyong handed over, his brows furrowed and his expression became very heavy.

He remembered it completely now.

He had smelled this scent on the body of the fake Dan Gudao ten years ago. He remembered seeing a half-smoked incense stick in the corpse's arms when he was collecting the corpse.

Now Li Lianhua understood everything.

Li Lianhua's eyes were red. Even though he already knew the truth from Chu Ji, he still felt heartbroken and angry when each piece of evidence was placed in front of him.
