"What's going on? There's no one there." Duanmu Qingchen moved closer to Fu Mingrui and lowered his voice. At this time, he also felt a little numb all over.
Fu Mingrui even turned slightly to the side, looking like he was ready to escape from the Nine Gates at any time: "He must have seen something, so don't ask. It's best... not to look."
But how could Duanmu Qingchen not look? Fu Mingrui's words made him even more curious, and he looked more seriously.
The figure standing behind the maid nodded and bowed respectfully to Lian Youyou.
Lian Youyou frowned, turned her head back, and sighed: "Hey!" Suddenly, she sat up and glared at Fu Mingrui fiercely: "Fu Mingrui! Do you know what the price is for bringing them here?! Can this little money buy back a life?!"
Fu Mingrui turned around immediately and looked at him fiercely: "How much money? You tell me! I'll give it to you!"
Suddenly, the black flame jumped up from the table, turned into a black shadow, and landed in front of Fu Mingrui in the blink of an eye. He raised his head and opened his mouth to roar: "Ah———Woo———"
Heiyan actually wanted to shout out his original voice, but he had no choice. Lian Youyou had said before that one should keep a low profile in the human world, so his roar could only be lowered by countless decibels, like the roar of cats fighting on the eaves.
Fu Mingrui and Duanmu Qingchen were both stunned. Fu Mingrui lowered his head and looked at the black cat. When did a black cat appear in the Nine Gates? And it was wearing clothes
Duanmu Qingchen only found it interesting. This little black cat had to roar with the momentum of an ancient beast. The more he watched, the more fun it became. If the occasion was not inappropriate, he really wanted to tease this little black cat. Other people's doorkeepers are not as fierce as this cat.
"Tsk--" Hei Yan continued to roar at them. These two men had no chance of getting close to Lian Youyou.
But cats are not dogs after all, and the two men looked at them for a while without feeling scared.
Duanmu Qingchen came back to his senses and looked at Lian Youyou: "Do you want money? I have it!" Duanmu Qingchen suddenly took out a handful of silver bills from his arms, "Miss Youyou, no matter how much you want, I have as much as you want. As long as it can cure your illness, I will buy it all for you if you want this capital city!" Duanmu Qingchen raised the silver bills generously, and the silver bills happened to be in front of Fu Mingrui.
Fu Mingrui had to look at it, and he froze when he saw it. Each of those banknotes was worth 10,000 taels! Was Emperor Cheng so generous to the prince? Did he give him pocket money in 10,000 taels
Lian Youyou was too lazy to even look at the two of them. She lowered her gaze and only looked at the light and shadow, which was still prostrating on the ground, motionless.
Lian Youyou's face sank, and she suddenly sighed irritably: "Ah!" Then she raised her hand and pulled back with force as if exerting some strength. Immediately, seven cold lights flew out from the top of the girl's head, leaving seven streaks of blood!
"Ah!" Yu Hezhang screamed in fright and touched the girl's head with trembling hands. His hair was already stained with blood.
"Ah—" Sun Shujun fainted when she saw the blood on Yu Hezhang's palm. He Shiqi, who happened to be squatting next to her, quickly reached out to support her.
Lian Youyou grasped the seven cold lights and spread her palm in front of Yu Hezhang: "This is the real culprit that made Yaer sick."
Yu Hezhang looked at Lian Youyou's palm and saw seven embroidery needles!
Instantly, Yu Hezhang's whole body trembled. Were these seven embroidery needles taken out from his little girl's head? In other words, someone had pierced seven embroidery needles into the poor child's head!
The skull is hard, and it would be difficult to pierce the skull when the girl grows up. However, the girl has had this disease since she was a child, which means that the embroidery needle was inserted into the skull when she was less than one year old.
Yu Hezhang was already in so much pain that he couldn’t express it in words. He was even more furious and trembling because of this vicious act: “Who… who would be so vicious? So vicious——” Yu Hezhang was so frightened and angry by this vicious act that he burst into tears. He hugged the girl tightly and cried, “My poor child… I didn’t expect you to suffer this kind of thing… My poor girl… ah…”
Lian Youyou looked at the light and shadow behind Yaer. She gradually floated up in the air, condensed, and became a small yellow light bead, flying towards Lian Youyou.
Lian Youyou opened her other palm, and the light ball fell into her palm and sank into it.
Lian Youyou sighed softly and looked at He Shiqi beside her: "Madam Fuyu, go to your room to rest, and then go to the medicine shelf in my room and get the third medicine bottle in the first row."
"Hey!" He Shiqi was well-behaved and obedient. He picked up old lady Yu and went to the room where Sanniang and the others had originally lived.
Fu Mingrui couldn't resist his curiosity after all and wanted to go forward.
Hei Yan immediately jumped in front of him and stretched out his cat claws: "Swish!"
"Heiyan, let them in. They will take care of the rest." Lian Youyou spoke, and Heiyan made way, turned around, wagging his cat tail, and walked back to Lian Youyou with standard cat steps. He jumped lightly and jumped onto the recliner where Lian Youyou was sitting, continuing to stare coldly at Fu Mingrui and Duanmu Qingchen.
Fu Mingrui and Duanmu Qingchen stepped forward together. Fu Mingrui looked at Luo Lian's hand and asked, "What is it?"
"Look for yourself." Lian Youyou held up the seven blood-stained embroidery needles. Fu Mingrui and Duanmu Qingchen felt a chill immediately after seeing them.
"This, this is stuck in the girl's head?!" Duanmu Qingchen couldn't believe his eyes, "Who is so vicious! Who has a grudge against the Bai family?!"
"Hmph." Lian Youyou smiled gently. She actually already had the answer in her heart, but she didn't say it. Because this was a human matter, naturally, someone should take care of it.
Moreover, this is Fu Mingrui's case. The more he investigates, sees, and listens to the case in person, the more shocked he will be by the truth, and the deeper the impression will be.
She took out a handkerchief, wrapped the seven embroidery needles, handed it to Fu Mingrui, and looked at him with a raised lip: "Master Fu~~~Should you investigate this matter?"
Fu Mingrui took the embroidery needle, but it felt as heavy as seven iron pestles. The needle not only pierced the girl's body, but also pierced Fu Mingrui's heart, which was a mockery of his title of detective.
If Fu Mingrui had really closed the case based on Bai Zhankui's suicide out of fear of punishment, and had been complacent about solving Bai Zhankui's closed-room murder case, he would not have known today that there were so many secrets and so much darkness in this case.
If Lian Youyou hadn't taken out the seven embroidery needles that were stuck in Yaer's head today, he would never have known that the darkness hidden beneath this case would be so outrageous!
He Shiqi took out the medicine bottle and handed it to Lian Youyou: "Master, here it is."
Lian Youyou nodded, opened the medicine bottle and smelled it, confirming that it was right. Then she turned around and walked back to the round table.
Duanmu Qingchen immediately followed, not leaving behind.
Heiyan, squatting on the recliner, narrowed his blue eyes, murderous aura rising from his body. He had seen too many men like this who liked to stick to Lian Youyou, and there were countless men who had scratches left by his Highness Heiyan on their bodies.
He raised his cat paws, each of which was sharp, and began to lick them. He didn't mind having two more today. (To be continued)
