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

Fang Duobing and Li Xiangyi exchanged a glance, and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. They knew that this day was of vital importance to them.

"Where are we going now?" Li Xiangyi asked.

"Let's go check on Yu Qiushuang's body first." Fang Duobing said, "Maybe we can find some clues."

The two were about to leave when they heard a voice: "Brother Fang, Brother Li."

The two looked back and saw a man in brocade clothes walking towards them, followed by a servant and a maid.

"Brother Zongzheng?" Fang Duobing asked in surprise when he saw the newcomer. "Why are you here?"

The person who came was Yu Qiu Shuang's fiancé, Zong Zheng Mingzhu.

"I heard something happened here, so I came to take a look." Zong Zheng Mingzhu said, "I didn't expect you to be here too."

"We're here to investigate a case, too," Fang Duobing said. "By the way, Brother Zongzheng, I have two people here. Could you please help me accommodate them?"

"Oh?" Zong Zheng Mingzhu looked at Wangfu and Li'er behind Fang Duobing, "Who are they?"

"They are my servants and maids," Fang Duobing said. "I'm afraid they are not safe here, so I want them to leave first."

"That's easy." Zong Zheng Mingzhu said, "Come here, take them down and take them to a safe place."

"Yes." The servant and maid behind Zong Zheng Mingzhu responded and left with Wangfu and Li'er.

"Thank you, Brother Zong Zheng." Fang Duobing said.

"You're welcome." Zong Zheng Mingzhu said, "By the way, Brother Fang, who is this girl?"

"Oh, this is Miss Su Luo." Fang Duobing said, "She is injured and needs a quiet place to heal."

"That's easy to do." Zong Zheng Mingzhu said, "I have an empty room. Let Miss Su Luo stay there."

"Thank you, Brother Zong Zheng." Fang Duobing said.

"You're welcome." Zong Zheng Mingzhu said, "We are all friends, and it's only natural for us to help each other."

"Then we'll take our leave first." Fang Duobing said, "We still have to investigate the case."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore." Zong Zheng Mingzhu said, "If you need any help, just let me know."

"Okay." Fang Duobing said.

Fang Duobing and Li Xiangyi said goodbye to Zong Zheng Mingzhu and went to see Yu Qiushuang's body.

Upon hearing the guard's report, Yu Hongzhu stood up abruptly, her eyes burning with rage. Her voice trembled as she squeezed out a few words, almost through her teeth: "What did you say? Say it again!"

The guard was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud, his body shaking like a sieve: "Madam, the Second Young Lady's body... was... burned..."

"What?!" Yu Hongzhu was struck by lightning, her body swaying several times and almost falling. The maid beside her hurriedly supported her and shouted anxiously, "Madam! Are you okay?"

Yu Hongzhu pushed the maid aside and stumbled towards the room where Yu Qiushuang's body was placed. Her heart was filled with anger and grief. She couldn't believe that her sister would suffer such a disaster after her death!

Fang Duobing and Li Xiangyi also heard the guard's report. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. They had never thought that such a thing would happen!

"Let's go and take a look!" Fang Duobing said, pulling Li Xiangyi and running out.

The two arrived at the room where Yu Qiushuang's body lay, only to find it in a shambles. The fire had been put out, but the air was still thick with a pungent, burnt smell. Yu Qiushuang's body had been burned beyond recognition, leaving only half of it.

Yu Hongzhu stood there blankly, looking at Yu Qiushuang's body, tears streaming silently.

Her heart was filled with grief and self-blame. She hated herself for not protecting her sister and causing her to suffer such pain.

"Who is it? Who did this?!" Yu Hongzhu suddenly let out a shrill roar, her voice filled with hatred, "I'm going to tear him into pieces!"

She turned and looked at the servants who were guarding Yu Qiushuang's body, her eyes flashing with madness: "It's you! It must be you! I will kill you and avenge my sister!"

"Madam, please spare us! It wasn't us!" The servants were so frightened that they fell to their knees and kowtowed for mercy.

"Stop!" Fang Duobing shouted, blocking Yu Hongzhu's way. "Madam, you can't kill innocent people!"

"Killing innocent people?" Yu Hongzhu sneered, "They failed to keep watch and let my sister's body be destroyed. Don't they deserve to die?"

"Madam, you should calm down and find out the truth instead of taking your anger out on others," Fang Duobing said. "If you kill them, it will be even harder to find the real culprit!"

"What do you know?!" Yu Hongzhu glared at Fang Duobing. "As an outsider, what qualifications do you have to point fingers here?"

"Madam, although I am an outsider, I am also a person with conscience." Fang Duobing said, "I cannot watch you kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"You..." Yu Hongzhu was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She pointed at Fang Duobing but couldn't say a word.

"Madam, please calm down." Li Xiangyi said, "Brother Fang is right. You should find out the truth now instead of venting your anger here."

"Find out the truth? How easy is that?" Yu Hongzhu laughed miserably. "My sister is already dead, and her body has been destroyed. What truth is there to find out?"

"Madam, don't forget that those guards saw the Second Young Lady at the inn," Li Xiangyi said. "They all had clues, more or less. But after returning, you killed them all, thus covering up the truth for the real murderer. Now you want to kill these servants too, so we have no idea who set the body on fire."

When Yu Hongzhu heard this, her body trembled. Only then did she realize how impulsive and stupid her behavior just now was.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "So, what should we do now?"

"The most important thing now is to find the arsonist," Li Xiangyi said. "Only by finding him can we uncover the truth."

"Okay, then I'll give you one day," Yu Hongzhu said. "If you can't find the arsonist within one day, then all of 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 out of the room.

Fang Duobing and Li Xiangyi looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

"What should we do now?" Li Xiangyi asked.

"Let's take a look at Yu Qiushuang's body first, maybe we can find some clues." Fang Duobing said.

The two men walked to Yu Qiushuang's body and examined it carefully.

"She was hit by a palm strike in the abdomen and a needle in the chest, both fatal injuries." Fang Duobing said, "It seems that the murderer wanted to kill her with one blow, but why did she have two injuries?"
