Upon arriving at the City Lord's Mansion in Yucheng, everyone met the City Lord, Yu Mulan.

When the guards explained the situation to him, he simply said, "Lock them all up first!"

Fang Duobing: "Hey, wait a minute, we have nothing to do with Miss Yu's death, why are we being locked up for no reason? Are you planning to torture us?"

Yu Mulan, seeing that he didn't look like an ordinary person, asked, "Who are you?"

Fang Duobing: "I am Fang Duobing, the young master of Tianji Hall!"

Yu Mulan: "The Heavenly Mystery Hall has never interfered in affairs, so why is Young Hero Fang here?"

Fang Duobing: "Didn't we just stay at an inn when we were passing by, and then you brought us back?"

Yu Mulan was at a loss for what to do, so she had no choice but to instruct people to entertain them first!

The others were locked in cells, and they were taken to a guest room where they were guarded.

Fang Duobing sat down and asked, "What's wrong with this city lord?"

Li Lianhua: "This Yu Mulan has no real power. Didn't you see that he can't make decisions on important matters?"

Fang Duobing: "How do you know?"

Li Lianhua: "Can't you think about this properly? This inn, and the guards only mention the lady, not the city lord. He's just holding the title in name only; he must have married into the family."

Ivia stood up: "Let's wait for Yu Hongzhu to return before we talk about it. Everyone, go and rest!"

Li Lianhua walked over, put her arm around her shoulder, and said to the other two, "We're leaving now, you should get some rest too."

Ivy: "Xiao Qi, let's go!"

Looking at Tongzi squatting next to the fox spirit, he said, "Do you really think you're a dog?"

Xiao Qi happily followed the two: "Host, I just found that sitting like that is very comfortable!"

Ivia: "You can still feel your body?"

Xiao Qi: "Yeah, host, I'm high-level, right!"

Ivia: "High-class!"

Xiao Qi: "Hehe!"

Ivy and Li Lianhua randomly chose a room and had hot water brought in, so she took a shower first.

Li Lianhua sat in the room, listening to the sound of water behind the screen, and felt a little hot.

Fortunately, Ivia came out shortly after, otherwise he would have wanted to go straight in.

Ivy felt that since she was at someone else's house, she could just wash up casually.

After Li Lianhua finished washing up, the two lay down on the bed to sleep.

Ivia hadn't intended to drink blood tonight, but during their intimate moment, she couldn't resist taking a few shallow sips.

……

Ivia removed his hand: "Alright, go to sleep, we're still at someone else's house!"

Li Lianhua had no choice but to compromise; she hadn't originally planned to go to sleep.

Luckily, Xiaoqi sleeps in the outer room; it's already used to sleeping with the sound blocked out at night.

Li Lianhua got up early in the morning. Seeing that Aivia was still asleep, he washed up and took out the red dates from his pocket to eat.

This was specially prepared for him by Ivy, so he could eat it whenever he drank blood.

They rushed over as soon as they received the news, having just returned from Yu Hongzhu's return that morning.

When I arrived at the scene, I saw the group of guards from last night about to commit suicide.

Fang Duobing stepped forward to stop them, shouting, "What are you doing!"

Guard: "The Second Miss has been murdered. We failed in our duty to protect our mistress and bear an inescapable responsibility."

Yu Hongzhu walked out of the hall: "As guards of Yucheng, they failed to protect their master. They were assigned to guard the body, and I don't even know who knocked over the candles, causing damage to my sister's body. Letting them commit suicide is already merciful!"

Fang Duobing: "So you're Madam Yu? You've already taken their lives before the matter was even fully investigated?"

Yu Hongzhu: "Even if you are the young master of Tianji Hall and a servant of Yucheng, your life and death are none of your concern."

Ivia said coldly, "Are you going to kill them now because you don't want to investigate your sister's death?"

Yu Hongzhu: "Who are you? What gives you the right to say that?"

Fang Duobing: "She is my master's wife."

Ivia: "You don't need to know who I am. These were the guards who were there. You didn't even ask them for details before you tried to kill them. How are you going to investigate your sister's death? Or do you not care about her death?"

Li Lianhua spoke up: "Yes, Madam Yu, don't rush to kill people. The important thing now is to find out the truth about your sister's death."

Yu Hongzhu paused for a moment and said, "You mean you can find out? If you can't find the person who killed my sister, even if I can't do anything to you, everyone else connected to the case will die."

The innkeeper spoke up: "Madam Yu, the Second Miss's murder has nothing to do with us."

Others chimed in, "Yes, this is evil spirits harming people!"

"Yes, we're here to testify; it has nothing to do with us!"

Yu Hongzhu: "I've never seen a ghost before, so tell me what this evil ghost looks like!"

Since no one could come up with anything specific for the moment, Yu Hongzhu said, "I've heard that people who are on the verge of death can see ghosts. Let me help you remember something?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the guards drew their swords at them.

Yu Hongzhu looked at Fang Duobing and the others: "I have family matters to attend to now. If Young Hero Fang and your master and mistress are alright, I will have someone prepare a carriage for you and send you out of the city to return home!"

Fang Duobing: "How can we watch you indiscriminately kill innocent people and go back unmoved!"

Yu Hongzhu sneered, "Your Tianji Hall has never participated in Jianghu disputes, but Young Hero Fang seems to love meddling in other people's business!"

Fang Duobing: "For the sake of these innocent people, we must find out the truth!"

In the end, Yu Hongzhu was persuaded by them and agreed to let them find out the truth.

The group walked out, with Di Feisheng leading the way: "You guys go investigate, call me if anything happens!"

Ivia also spoke up: "You all go and check on Yu Qiushuang's body. I'm going back to my room first!"

Fang Duobing: "Master's wife, aren't you going?"

Ivia: "Just the two of you are enough. Too many people will disturb their peace!"

Fang Duobing watched her retreating figure and asked Li Lianhua, "Is what Master's wife said true?"

Li Lianhua laughed and said, "Of course what she said is true!"

Ivia went back to her room to catch up on sleep; she hadn't slept enough this morning.

Xiao Qi: "Host, aren't you going to help?"

Ivia: "They solved the case quickly in the story, so I don't need to steal the spotlight!"

Xiao Qi: "Host, you're just lazy!"

Ivia: "What did you say? I didn't hear you. Say it again!"

Xiao Qi: "Hehe, I meant that you don't like trouble, host."

Ivia: "Sleep, be quiet."

Xiaoqi covered its mouth with its paw and stopped talking, even though it didn't actually speak.

When the group sat down for lunch, Di Feisheng asked, "So, have you found any leads?"

Fang Duobing: "Yu Qiushuang died from being pierced through the heart by a golden needle, but she was also struck by a palm. Why would the murderer go to such lengths?"

Everyone was thinking and remained silent for a moment.

Ivia: "It's possible that two people did it. The first person hit her but didn't die, and then the second person killed her!"
