"Wangfu!" Li'er exclaimed in surprise.

Fang Duobing and Li'er hurried to check on Wangfu, while Li Lianhua stepped past them and walked to the bedside. She took her hand and checked her pulse. After confirming that she was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the woman lying on the bed, "Wake up, Yunru, are you okay?"

Qin Changsheng held his forehead and pretended to wake up slowly, "Li Lang... This is so scary, someone wants to kill me."

Before Li Lianhua could react, a soft body fell into his arms. The woman's face turned pale, her fingertips were cold, and her voice trembled with obvious fear.

Upon seeing this, the guards of Yucheng hurried to the next room and opened the room of Yu Qiushuang, their second young lady. There was also a pool of blood on the floor.

Several guards began to blame each other, "Where's the Second Young Lady?! I'm asking you, where's the Second Young Lady?!"

"I haven't seen the second young lady go out."

Yun Jiao heard the noise and quickly ran to the next room, asking the guards, "Where's Qiu Shuang? Where's Qiu Shuang?!"

"There can't be any ghosts, right? The inn is covered in bloody footprints. Could it be some blood demon that's arresting people?"

But the room was empty, and there were no signs of fighting or damage, so the guards speculated.

The leader of the guards gave a sharp order: "Search!"

The guards followed the order and searched room by room. The guards from Yucheng also successfully found the body of their second young lady in an iron box in a room full of escorts.

Yun Jiao arrived late, pushed away the onlookers blocking the door of the room, and rushed in to check the situation. However, when she saw Qiu Shuang's swollen body, she didn't know whether she fainted from the horrible face or because she couldn't accept the death of her friend, she fainted from anger.

When Fang Duo fell ill and Li Lianhua and the others arrived, they saw this scene. The escort was in disbelief, "This is impossible... Could it be that there really is a ghost..."

The leader of the guards was equally furious: "My second daughter died in the Xiaomian Inn. You are all suspects. Take them all back!"

Qin Changsheng leaned against Li Lianhua and observed the situation inside. He whispered in his ear, "I've fought with that man before. His martial arts skills are inferior to yours."

"…but he was above me, and I didn't catch him. He might have originally wanted to kill Wangfu, but unfortunately I caught him just as I was returning to my room. He was afraid I would call for help, so he drugged me and knocked me out."

Li Lianhua glanced at her and said, "I usually ask you to practice more with me, but you're not complaining about being tired?"

Qin Changsheng: “…”

Is there anything I, Qin Duoyu, need to practice?

Jade City Prison Cell.

All the guests of Xiaomian Inn were locked up in a cell. Fang Duobing walked to the iron bars and shouted to the guards outside, "Brother, let your city lord come to see me. Do you know who I am? I'm a criminal detective from Baichuan Courtyard! Why are you locking me up? Are you pretending not to hear me? I'm talking to you!"

Li Lianhua sat in the corner and said lazily, "Don't shout. The Master of Yucheng is not here. She will come to see you when she comes back."

Fang Duobing walked to the corner, squatted down together and asked, "Didn't you see the city lord Yu Mulan when you locked us up just now?"

Li Lianhua: "This Yu Mulan has no real power, he can't make the decision on major matters."

Fang Duobing: "How do you know?"

Li Lianhua glanced at Fang Duobing and said, "Don't you think carefully? These guards in this inn only mention Madam and not the City Lord. And this Yu Qiushuang, she only calls me Sister and not Sister-in-law. You can imagine that this Yu Mulan changed her surname because she married into the family. He just holds the title of City Lord in vain. So in this city, the one who really speaks is Yu Hongzhu."
