Chapter 347 Without a Doubt
“Yesterday evening, after Wei Lang and I finished our wedding ceremony, we returned to the courtyard. Since it was still early, we sat together in the courtyard for a while until the moon was high in the sky before we went back to our room.”
"After drinking the nuptial wine, I felt a little sleepy, so Wei Lang helped me to bed to rest. After that, I knew nothing more. When I woke up, I saw that he had turned into this bloody human skin."
He Xiaofeng finished recounting the whole story, her voice choked with sobs.
"I felt sleepy after drinking the nuptial wine. Auntie, could you think carefully again if there's anything else suspicious?"
Fang Duobing expressed his doubts, as his aunt's alcohol tolerance wasn't such that she would be knocked out after just one drink.
“A suspicious place?” He Xiaofeng tried hard to recall.
"There's one thing, I've never heard Wei Lang like poetry before, but yesterday after I lay in bed, I vaguely heard him say something."
"What poem?"
"Having left behind their physical form, they attain ultimate bliss and ascend to the Jade Capital as immortals."
Li Lianhua looked at the unusual tattoos on the human skin in front of her, as well as an incomprehensible line of poetry, and wondered what it might mean.
"By the way, Auntie, it's almost noon now. How come you're only noticing something's wrong now? The groom was perfectly fine this morning."
"It's our wedding night, so it's perfectly normal for him to be up. I even specifically told Li'er not to disturb the newlyweds in the early morning."
He Xiaohui said, "There are no elders in the villa, only sisters, so there are no formalities."
"Yes, we listened to the hall master's words and did not come to wake the second hall master and the other two up too early."
Li'er continued, "It was almost noon when I saw that the Second Master hadn't gotten up yet. I was worried that he would get hungry, so I boldly came to knock on the door."
"No one responded from inside, and I was worried that something was wrong, so I pushed the door open and came in, and that's when I saw this scene."
"The groom seems a bit odd."
"Dr. Li, is there anything strange about this?" He Xiaohui asked hurriedly.
“There were signs of a fight inside the house. Someone must have broken into the new house last night, but they didn’t hurt my aunt at all,” Fang Duobing pointed out.
"It is certain that no one else has been harmed or attacked within Tianji Manor." Zhan Yunfei also recounted what he had just investigated.
"So, the murderer was after Wei Weiqingchou. After killing him, he took the body away. Could it be one of his enemies?"
"Impossible." Zhan Yunfei denied the guess.
“After I returned from my patrol last night, the two leaders, the Second Master and the Second Master, specially brought me a box of wedding candy. After that, no one else entered the bridal chamber, otherwise they would definitely not have escaped my notice.”
Zhan Yunfei also recounted how he had spent the entire night watching the eaves opposite the new house and hadn't seen anything unusual.
"That means Wei Qingchou must have died after Brother Zhan returned. Brother Zhan stayed at the opposite side of this house all night, so the murderer couldn't have entered or exited from the front."
"There's no way out on the cliff behind the house. Tianji Hall is famous for its mechanisms. Could there be other mechanisms and secret passages here?"
"Huahua, your analysis is absolutely correct. If you ask me, the murderer must have already hidden inside before the newlyweds even entered the room."
“Young lady, this small building is just an ordinary place. There’s nothing else here, so it’s impossible for anyone to be hiding in it.”
“There are plenty of places to hide in this house. Look at the cabinets, the beams, under the bed—they’re all good hiding spots,” Wu You said, pointing to several places that were easy to conceal.
