I think my luck is turning around.

While An Ge and Liu Zai were discussing, rumors began to circulate in the east of the city. In less than half a day, rumors that were said to be outrageous and even angered by gods and ghosts had already spread.

Zhang Wu, along with his wife Han Ying, also rushed to the east of the city because of his daughter's death.

Seeing the gate surrounded by people, she could no longer maintain her composure and burst into tears.

Zhang Wu did not enter the crime scene; only Han Ying went in. Looking at her daughter still lying in the bathtub, Han Ying reached out to pull her daughter out.

But at this moment, her mother-in-law stopped her, saying, "No! This is divine punishment; no ordinary person can touch it!"

Han Ying didn't believe such a bizarre claim to begin with, but seeing her mother-in-law's firm stance, she stopped talking and just looked at her daughter with great heartache.

Inside the pavilion in the lake, a subordinate reported, "Young master, Zhang Wu has come to ask for help! He wants you to intervene."

Zhang Wu now needs to know the truth about his daughter's death, instead of being fooled by this ridiculous talk of gods and ghosts.

It wasn't that Zhang Wu didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but that he didn't believe in his in-laws or his daughter's husband.

Upon hearing this request, Li Yuesheng naturally agreed. He had already said that he must find the murderer who killed Zhang Yingying, mainly to prove Ye Gui's innocence.

Liu Zai naturally wanted to go along, but at this moment Li Yuesheng's gaze fell on An Ge, "Miss Simian, why don't you come along too!"

Since An Ge has already explained the situation clearly, it's not a bad idea for her to step forward. If the other party tries to clear themselves of suspicion by claiming it's supernatural, they have ways to deal with that.

They set off immediately, not daring to waste a single moment, and covered the journey in an hour with swift horses.

Liu Zai's appearance was perfectly acceptable as Zhang Wu's friend. However, Liu Zai couldn't even get into the crime scene. Zhang Yingying's body hadn't been disposed of yet, and his sudden entry would naturally be seen as having ulterior motives.

Liu Zai stood outside and let An Ge go in to dispose of Zhang Yingying's body.

When Liu Zai gave this order, An Ge couldn't believe it. Go alone? Just by herself?

"Mr. Liu, have you got this straight? Am I the only one here?"

“Miss Si Mian, isn’t Zhang Yingying’s mother inside? Her mother is very willing to help, so you’re not alone.”

It was only then that Zhang Wu noticed An Ge, the girl who had told his fortune. Was she really a divine being? How could her predictions be so accurate? And indeed, she had drowned.

"Miss Si Mian, I'm troubling you. Please help my son find the murderer."

Zhang Wu's voice wasn't very loud, but seeing Zhang Wu's request, An Ge felt embarrassed to refuse.

An Ge finally understood why Li Yuesheng had sent her here. She would have to resolve the problems she had caused herself.

An Ge also had a kind of "ready to die" attitude, after all, she was an ordinary person who had never seen a corpse, including the cadaver.

Although I'm not usually averse to bloody scenes, it was my first time seeing a corpse and a dead person, so I was still a little scared.

An Ge went inside. Outside the screen were three or four women. It was easy to tell that they were Zhang Yingying's mother-in-law and her maid, her personal maid, and her somewhat numb mother.

"Who are you?"

The one who spoke was Zhang Yingying's mother-in-law's maid. An Ge looked at that questioning face and was very unhappy.

"I am here at Mr. Zhang Wu's request to arrange the disposal of Zhang Yingying's body."

"No way!" Zhang Yingying's mother-in-law shouted directly, her voice so loud that she was afraid others wouldn't notice the strangeness inside.

"What's wrong?"

"You will anger the gods, and they will punish you!"

An Ge has always selectively believed in threats involving deities, but fundamentally she doesn't believe in them. Moreover, she has never believed in ghosts or gods, and despite the time-travel incident, An Ge still doesn't believe that divine punishment would occur here.

Human effort can make all the difference! Many things are determined by human actions, and An Ge wouldn't believe the old woman's one-sided story.

"What punishment? I respect the dead." An Ge said calmly, which made the old lady's behavior seem very suspicious.

An Ge walked up to Han Ying and looked at the mother's blank eyes. She must have been quite moved!

"We now need to remove Zhang Yingying's body, change the water to another container, and then examine your daughter's body, taking into account various factors, to make a reasonable analysis of your daughter's cause of death."

Han Ying sat there numbly. She had taken An Ge's words to heart and was willing to help.

As she spoke, An Ge rolled up her sleeves, ready to get to work, but Zhang Yingying's mother-in-law stopped her, not letting An Ge take another step forward.

"You can't go in! The gods will punish you, aren't you afraid?"

It was still a threat from the gods. An Ge had already dismissed the gods that Zhang Yingying's mother-in-law spoke of. She wasn't afraid at all. The old lady's fear and panic were because she had something to hide and was afraid of the gods.
