C29 Murdering Again

"What? What are you thinking about?" Wenn Jing bit the beef jerky and looked at the people from the government to deal with the aftermath.

The moon was high in the sky, and the surroundings were especially quiet. After Jiang Louyue came here, his eyebrows had never relaxed, and he had been frowning all the time, as if he was always worried about something.

"Nothing." Jiang Louyue sighed in a low voice.

The more he said nothing, the more Wenn Jing felt that something was wrong. Seeing his bitter face, Wenn Jing scratched his ears and cheeks and said, "You look like a withered eggplant. The matter here has already been settled, can't you go back immediately?"

"Do you really want to see your Jiaojiao like that?" Wenn Jing stood beside Jiang Louyue and nudged him with his shoulder. He said in a low voice, "What kind of bewitching soup did your Jiaojiao give you? When I left Jinling, you still insisted on leaving with me, saying that you didn't want to get married. Even after marriage, you wrote to me all day long and complained about the bride."

"Why did my character change so much after being struck by lightning? Weren't you not very fond of her in the past?" Wenn Jing asked curiously.

"You don't understand." Jiang Louyue let out a long sigh again.

"Do you think I don't understand?" Wenn Jing circled around Jiang Louyue like a flea. After he came, Jiang Louyue sighed every now and then, making him feel as if he had aged ten years.

Jiang Louyue thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Do you believe in reincarnation?"

Wenn Jing stared at her blankly, blinked, nodded, and then shook his head.

"If I say it out loud, no one will believe me. To you, maybe I just slept for fifteen days. To me, I have experienced countless long cycles of reincarnation and returned to today." Jiang Louyue's voice was low.

Wenn Jing's face was blank. He could not even eat the beef jerky in his hand. He opened his mouth and thought for a long time, but he could not figure out what Jiang Louyue wanted to express.

"Jiaojiao will probably cause trouble after tonight. I need you to help me with something." Jiang Louyue turned his head and looked at Wenn Jing with a serious expression.

"What are we talking about? Just say it directly." Wenn Jing hugged Jiang Louyue's shoulder like a brother and patted Jiang Louyue's chest twice, rubbing the fish oil on his finger on Jiang Louyue's clothes.

It was rare that Jiang Louyue did not hit him, as if he did not notice his little movements. His frown was so deep that it could kill mosquitoes. "I need you to discuss something with your father."

Hearing this, Wenn Jing was stunned. His hand slowly slipped away from Jiang Louyue's shoulder. His face was filled with astonishment, not knowing what to say.

Jiang Louyue knew how close he was to his father. If it was not necessary, Wenn Jing would never talk to his father in his entire life.

Their relationship was so bad that the two of them wished that they would not appear next to each other. They would look at each other and feel like their eyes were about to pop out.

"No..." The smile on Wenn Jing's face was dry. "What kind of terrible disaster did Jiaojiao's mother cause that the State Preceptor has to solve it for her?"

Jiang Louyue took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

...

The news of Gao Tianhe's death spread throughout Jinling the next day. The city was in a state of discussion, and everyone was guessing who the murderer was. This case became a topic of conversation for the commoners.

The medical center was surrounded by heavily armed soldiers. Three doctors were taking turns to look after Miss Ruyan, waiting for her to wake up.

However, Ruyan's injuries were too severe, and she was too shocked. She did not wake up for the entire day.

It was said that even Gao Wei had gone to the palace to invite the imperial physicians. He did not even close his eyes for a day and night. He was only waiting for the culprit to be found.

At night, Wanyue stayed by the side of Caiang's bed and watched her closely. He did not dare to sleep at night, so he was on full alert.

The incense burner in the room was emitting smoke. Wanyue tried his best to open his eyes wide, but it was as if a thousand kilograms of stone had fallen on his eyes, making him unable to open them.

She shook her head and felt a little dazed. Her head fell onto the bed.

At this time, Caiang slowly opened his eyes and tried to call out to Wanyue, but he received no response.

Only then did she feel relieved. After that, she opened the blanket and got off the bed. She carefully escaped from the window.

Caiang did not see it. When Caiang got off the bed, Wanyue's arm suddenly moved. The thread on her wrist drew a bloody light on her arm.

Wanyue's eyelids slightly moved. The pain made her barely manage to keep her eyes open.

Caiang lightly flew past the west courtyard's wall and ran outside.

Her ankle was almost healed. Now, she wrapped it up with a gauze that was soaked in medicine. When she moved, it would not hurt very badly.

Caiang followed her memories of the dream and walked to Qingdeng Lane. The courtyard where the accident happened was covered with a large seal. It was extremely easy to recognize.

Caiang flipped over the wall and walked in step by step. She walked all the way to the inner room. In her memory, Gao Tianhe and that woman were on the big bed with carvings. Now, there was only a mess of beds and blood on the ground.

Caiang frowned slightly. The smell of blood rushed into her head, making Caiang feel a little confused.

After arriving here, the originally blurry dream suddenly became much clearer. Caiang could even see how she came in from the door and quickly waved her knife at the person on the bed.

Caiang shivered. A layer of goose bumps appeared on her arm.

She took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. She formed a seal with her hand and summoned Gao Tianhe's soul.

The chilly wind blew, and the ghosts wailed. Caisang waited for a long time, but nothing happened.

Gao Tianhe's soul had already disappeared, leaving no trace behind. No matter who killed Gao Tianhe, that person had taken away his soul, or he had simply turned it into ashes.

To be able to do this, that person must have practiced a technique, and was extremely familiar with the soul.

Caiang sighed. The more she investigated, the more unfavorable it was for her.

She looked at the green clothes scattered on the ground and suddenly thought of another woman. Miss Ruyan was still alive. As long as she saw her, whether she was unconscious or awake, Caiang would always be able to ask some questions.

She vaguely remembered that Zhaixing had said that Ruyan should be in a nearby hospital.

Thinking about this, Caiang hurriedly walked out. Her head sank, and she suddenly felt something violently shake in front of her.

In a trance, she heard someone call her name, "Caiang!"

Caiang shook her head and tried her best to stay awake. However, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, as if she was gradually falling into a state of chaos.

"Madam …"

"Madam …"

"Madam!"

The voice that was like a fly buzzing in her ears suddenly became louder, like a blade that could split open all her confusion. Caiang suddenly opened her eyes, and what entered her eyes was Wanyue's face full of disbelief.

"I'm sorry, I still want to figure out what exactly is going on here. That's why I avoided you guys and ran out of the house." Caisang walked over apologetically. If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was too focused on her, Caisang would never have made such a move.

Wanyue also hurriedly retreated, as if she had been frightened. Her face was deathly pale.

Caisang was stunned. She followed Wanyue's gaze and looked at her body. Her entire body was covered in blood, and she was holding a short knife stained with blood.

The surroundings were filled with corpses, and they were densely packed.
