I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Outside the dungeon was a spacious courtyard filled with soldiers holding weapons, and the atmosphere was very tense.

In the center of the yard, there was a throne, and a woman in gorgeous clothes was sitting on it. There was a hint of sadness on her face, but more of anger.

This woman is the wife of the mayor of Yucheng. She had just learned of the death of her sister Yu Qiushuang and was heartbroken.

"Who among you killed my sister?" the city lord's wife asked sternly, her voice full of hatred.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"Tell me! Who did it!" The city lord's wife slammed the table and roared.

"Ma'am, we really don't know!" the innkeeper said quickly. "We are all good citizens. How could we kill someone?"

"Yes, ma'am, we are all wronged!" others echoed.

"Hmph, you unruly people, you still dare to quibble!" The City Lord's wife snorted coldly and said, "Come here, beat them until they admit it!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately stepped forward, pinned everyone to the ground, and began to whip them.

"what!"

"stop fighting!"

"I really don't know!"

Screams and pleas for mercy were heard one after another, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

"Stop!" Li Xiangyi shouted, he broke free from the soldiers' control and stood in front of everyone.

"Madam, you can't abuse lynching like this!" Li Xiangyi said, "Although we are imprisoned, it doesn't mean we are the murderer. You indiscriminately beat people like this, which will only allow the real murderer to go unpunished!"

"Who are you? How dare you teach me a lesson!" The city lord's wife glared at Li Xiangyi and said.

"My name is Li Xiangyi, just an ordinary quack doctor." Li Xiangyi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"A charlatan?" The City Lord's wife sneered, "I think you're just a charlatan! Come, arrest him and interrogate him alone!"

Several soldiers immediately stepped forward and arrested Li Xiangyi.

"Huahua!" Qiao Wanwan exclaimed and wanted to step forward to stop it, but was held back by Fang Duobing.

Fang Duobing held Qiao Wanwan's hand tightly, looked at her firmly, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Luo, don't be impulsive, let me do it."

He took a deep breath, turned around and faced the city lord's wife.

Fang Duobing took a step forward, took out a token from his pocket, held it high, and said in a loud voice: "I am Fang Duobing, the criminal detective of Baichuan Court, and I have been ordered to investigate the case. This..."

He pointed at Li Xiangyi, who was being held down by the soldiers, and said, "This is the miraculous doctor known in the martial arts world as 'the living dead, the flesh and bones,' Li Lianhua, the owner of the Lotus Tower!"

Fang Duobing's voice was loud and resonant in the yard, and every word was clearly heard by everyone present.

The originally noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet, and everyone's attention was focused on Fang Duobing and Li Xiangyi.

The city lord's wife, Yu Hongzhu, was slightly startled when she heard Fang Duobing's words.

She originally thought that this group of people were just ordinary gangsters, but she didn't expect that there were also criminal detectives from Baichuan Courtyard and the owner of the famous Lotus Tower.

Yu Hongzhu's expression changed. Although she was heartbroken, she also knew that Baichuanyuan and Lianhua Tower were not easy to deal with.

Yu Hongzhu's eyes swept over Fang Duobing and Li Xiangyi, and finally fell on Li Xiangyi.

She looked at Li Xiangyi's calm face and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Is this young man really the legendary doctor who can bring the dead back to life?

"Are you the criminal detective of Baichuanyuan and the owner of Lianhua Tower?" Yu Hongzhu's voice was no longer as sharp as before, but still carried a hint of majesty.

"That's right." Fang Duobing replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Yu Hongzhu was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something. She waved her hand, signaling the soldiers to let go of Li Xiangyi.

"Since you are the detectives of Baichuan Court and the owner of the Lotus Tower, I will naturally not make things difficult for you." Yu Hongzhu said slowly, "You can leave here."

Fang Duobing heard this, but there was no joy on his face.

He looked at Yu Hongzhu and said, "Madam, we can leave, but what about these people?"

He pointed at the innkeeper and others who were pinned to the ground and said, "They are all innocent. Are they going to be wrongly accused like this?"

Yu Hongzhu frowned. She didn't expect Fang Duobing to speak for these insignificant people.

"Whether they are innocent or not is still unknown." Yu Hongzhu said coldly, "They are all suspects in my sister's death."

"Madam, you can't just arrest people without evidence," Fang Duobing said. "Besides, your abuse of lynching will only allow the real murderer to go unpunished."

"You!" Yu Hongzhu's face turned blue with anger at Fang Duobing's words, "Are you teaching me a lesson?"

"I dare not." Fang Duobing said, "I just hope that Madam can see clearly and not wrongly accuse a good person."

"Hmph, you're such a sharp-tongued brat!" Yu Hongzhu snorted coldly, "I want to see if you have what it takes to find the real culprit!"

"Madam, since we are here, we naturally want to find out the truth." Fang Duobing said, "But we need time."

"Time?" Yu Hongzhu raised an eyebrow. "How much time do you want?"

"One day." Fang Duobing said, "Give us one day. If we can't find the real culprit within one day, then these people will be at Madam's disposal."

"One day?" A hint of surprise flashed in Yu Hongzhu's eyes. "Are you sure you can find the real culprit within one day?"

"How can we know if we don't try?" Fang Duobing said, "Madam, you don't want the real murderer to go unpunished, do you?"

Yu Hongzhu was silent. She looked into Fang Duobing's determined eyes and couldn't help but waver. Perhaps this young man could really find the real murderer?

"Okay, I'll give you one day." Yu Hongzhu finally spoke, "But if you can't find the real culprit after one day, then these people will be buried with my sister!"

"It's a deal!" Fang Duobing said.

Yu Hongzhu waved her hand, signaling the soldiers to let those people go.

"Thank you, ma'am." Fang Duobing said with a bow, "We will definitely find out the truth as soon as possible and give you justice."

Yu Hongzhu said nothing more and turned and walked into the house.
