Who understands? He traveled through time with a high-spec spatial ability.

Lu Yaozu is currently waiting for news in a private room on the second floor of the restaurant.

An hour passed, and the two men waited and waited, but no one showed up. Lü Yaozu grew anxious. Could it be that they took the money and wouldn't do the job, daring to cheat me?

Just then, the waiter rushed over in a panic: "Master, something terrible has happened!"

"What's all this panic?" Lu Yaozu's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up in his mind.

"Then, Wang San and Zhang Mazi are...dead!" the waiter said in terror.

Lü Yaozu jumped to his feet. "Nonsense! What's going on?"

"I don't know either. The body suddenly appeared in the lobby. Now the downstairs is in complete chaos!" the waiter said anxiously.

Lu Yaozu frowned, inwardly groaning. What was he to do? If things escalated and the authorities were alerted, things would be in serious trouble.

He hurried downstairs and called to the waiter, "Go to the county government office and find Young Master Lu. Tell him I have something very urgent to discuss and need him to come over. Be quick, go now!"

When Lü Yaozu arrived downstairs, the onlookers made way for him.

He saw the two corpses and his vision went black, forcing himself to remain calm. This was a secret; no one would know. As for who did it, it must have been that bitch surnamed Qiao.

Soon after, the officials arrived, accompanied by a coroner.

After examining the body, the coroner said to the officials, "Judging from the wounds and the stiffness of the corpse, the deceased died more than two hours ago, around the beginning of Chen Shi (7-9 AM). The murder weapon is currently unknown, but it should be something like a bow and arrow."

I bought 10 compound bows and arrows when I was hoarding them, but these things can be recycled and reused, so there's no need to waste them.

After storing it in her spatial storage, she instructed the storage space to retrieve and clean the arrows. The increased spatial flow accelerated the time of death for the corpse. Even if the woman surnamed Lü tried to pinpoint her own guilt, she couldn't prove it. She had witnesses who could vouch for her alibi.

Lu Yaozu was pale and his body trembled slightly. He couldn't accept this fact; these two people were alive just an hour ago, how could they have been dead for so long?

He was just a spoiled brat, completely ignorant and lacking any real understanding of the world. He shouted at the coroner, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The constables, having privately received favors from Master Hu, did not want to escalate the matter. So they said to Lü Yaozu:

"Master Lü, the bodies were found in your shop. So many people saw them; you have to give us an explanation. Did you know the deceased? When was the last time you saw them? Did you have any old or new grudges with the two deceased? You have to explain all of this. Why don't you come back to the yamen with us?"

Upon hearing the word "return to the yamen," Lü Yaozu, whose brain wasn't very bright, instantly flew into a rage. He was about to call out "brother-in-law" when he suddenly saw Qiao Jingjing watching the commotion from the doorway, her face full of mockery and provocation!

"It must have been you who did this!" Lu Yaozu pointed at Qiao Jingjing, his eyes filled with anger and suspicion.

Qiao Jingjing, however, remained unusually calm. She looked at Lü Yaozu and sneered, "What evidence do you have that I killed him? Is it just because I have a grudge against you?"

Lu Yaozu was momentarily speechless; he truly had no evidence. "But they were clearly alive an hour ago," he began, then quickly covered his mouth before finishing.

Qiao Jingjing sneered: "Since you claim they were still alive an hour ago, do you have any witnesses? You say they were alive, which means you saw them. Shouldn't you provide an explanation for either of these?"

Lu Yaozu panicked. He had no witnesses. In order to conceal his actions and prevent others from finding out that he was the one who ordered it, he had the two men wait at the back door early. He never expected that he would shoot himself in the foot!

The waiter who went to find someone returned at this moment, and Lü Yaozu looked at him as if he had seen a savior. "Well, has Young Master Lu arrived?"

At this moment, Lu Yanei, whom Lu Wanku had mentioned, arrived at the scene. In the dead of winter, he held a paper fan and tried to look dashing, but the action looked somewhat out of place.

“I think there’s something fishy about this,” Young Master Lu said slowly. Qiao Jingjing found it a bit strange; why did he have a Northeastern accent? Because Young Master Lu had his back to her, and there were many servants and onlookers following behind him, she couldn’t see him clearly.

Then they heard someone speak again: "I know about this, it has nothing to do with me, I just came over to check."

In a flash, Qiao Jingjing thought of a certain possibility: surnamed Lu, with a Northeastern accent, and they were in the same car accident. Qiao Jingjing couldn't believe it, yet she inexplicably accepted this conclusion.

"My Love from the Star?" This is Lu Yuan's favorite idol drama.

A clear female voice rang out, and Lu Yanei seemed frozen in place. Suddenly, his breathing became heavy. He struggled to calm his heaving chest, taking deep breaths repeatedly. After a long while, he turned his head with difficulty.

"Young Miss?" Lu Yuan had never seen the 15-year-old Miss Qiao before. Looking at her slightly immature yet remarkably similar face, he finally realized that he was no longer alone in this fictional era.

Qiao's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as she said softly, "Tiezi, we'll talk about that later. Let's deal with the immediate issue first." Her voice was calm and firm, as if she had everything under control.

Lu Yuan nodded slightly in agreement, his eyes revealing his trust and reliance on the young lady.

At the command, the crowd sprang into action. They carefully lifted the two cold corpses and slowly walked towards the county government office.

Lu Yuan had his trusted confidants personally escort Lü Yaozu, their eyes piercing as if trying to see through his inner secrets.

The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving behind silence. Lu Yuan's joy was finally overwhelming; he was so excited he almost jumped up, eager to share his happiness at their reunion with Qiao Jingjing. He quickly ran to Qiao's side, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Qiao Jingjing's eyes also welled up with tears. She pulled Lu Yuan to a private room on the second floor of Yilixiang Restaurant. The place was quiet and private, perfect for their conversation.

As soon as Lu Yuan entered the door, he couldn't help but cheer with joy, his mood as free as a bird set free.

"Miss, I didn't expect you to still be alive!" Lu Yuan exclaimed excitedly, then, like a child who had done something wrong, he said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not driving carefully and causing you trouble."

Qiao Jingjing looked at Lu Yuan, her eyes filled with joy. She gently patted Lu Yuan's shoulder and said with a smile, "On the contrary, I'm afraid you're the one who will be implicated. It's a long story, I'll tell you later."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their tacit understanding and friendship being best demonstrated at that moment.
