Chapter 616 Lotus Building CP Li Lianhua
Chapter 616 Lotus Building CP Li Lianhua
Fang Duobing's examination revealed that the jade chimes the children were striking contained flints with fuses attached, the other end of which was connected to cotton under the prayer mats, showing everyone that it was nothing more than a trap prepared in advance.
The crowd discussed among themselves, knowing only that these items had been piled up in the warehouse for years, and no one knew why there was a mechanism inside.
Li Lianhua walked over to the group of children who had been burned, and with a flick of her finger, she noticed that they all had flammable phosphorus powder on their bodies. She then added to Fang Duobing's hypothesis:
"Investigate further to see who else came into contact with these children at the same time; they were all smeared with phosphorus powder."
"If it was arson, why was your servant the only one unharmed? Could it be that you staged this yourself?" The eldest disciple of the Lingshan Sect questioned with hostility.
"Absurd! Our young master is..."
Fang Duobing stopped the maid Li'er and took out his waist token from his bosom to show it.
"I am ill and nicknamed the Melancholy Young Master. I come from Baichuan Academy. The three of us are new to this place. This arson case was clearly planned in advance. It would take someone familiar with your sect's places and objects to arrange it in advance. How could we possibly do that? However, since the mystery is difficult to solve right now, why not give us a chance to find out the truth? It would also be beneficial to your Lingshan Sect, wouldn't it?"
Although the chief disciple of the Lingshan Sect agreed to let Fang Duobing investigate the case, he still wanted to temporarily detain Wang Fu, who was suspected of being involved.
Taking advantage of Fang Duobing's illness, Li Lianhua spoke up in time, revealing her identity as a divine physician, and said that she could use the Soul-Returning Technique to personally inquire about the identity of the spiritual child from Sect Leader Wang, thus eliminating the need for the unnecessary child identification process.
The reputation of the miracle doctor carried considerable credibility, and Wang Qingshan's three disciples immediately agreed.
Lingshan Sect steward Park Erhuang also promised to return the sect leader's golden statue and personal belongings to his former residence.
Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing turned and left.
Park Er-hwang stared at Li Lianhua's retreating figure, his expression uneasy. He felt that the person looked somewhat familiar, but when he thought back on the past few years, he had no recollection of her. After much thought, he finally concluded that he was just feeling uneasy because his plans were not going well and he was mentally exhausted. After all, the world is full of wonders and there are countless people with similar faces.
Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing arrived at Wang Qingshan's residence.
The golden statue stands inside the room, surrounded by some miscellaneous items.
Li Lianhua twirled phosphorus powder between her fingertips, carefully examined the state of the golden body, and then a thought formed in her mind.
Fang Duobing, standing to the side, kept turning his clear eyes around.
"I'll help you find out the truth this time, and then we'll be even, how about that?"
Fang Duobing was still unconvinced. He felt that he could also find out the cause of Wang Qingshan's death. Driven by his competitive spirit, he wanted to make a bet with Li Lianhua to see who could find out the cause of Wang Qingshan's death first.
Li Lianhua smiled dismissively.
"Then you've lost. I already know how Wang Qingshan died and have narrowed down the suspects. What about you?"
"So fast!"
Fang Duobing looked incredulous and was about to ask a question when Li Lianhua gestured for him to look at Wang Qingshan's hand.
"Turtle Breathing Technique!"
"No need to investigate anymore. The seventh day after his death has passed; he's long since died."
Fang Duobing may seem naive, but he simply hasn't experienced much. Now that Li Lianhua has pointed it out, he immediately understands.
Wang Qingshan wanted to use the Turtle Breathing Technique to fake his death and create the illusion of ascending to immortality. Such a secret plan could only be carried out by close friends and family. The agreed-upon person needed to stimulate his acupoints with needles within three days to wake him up. Now that his fake death has turned into a real death, the murderer must be one of Wang Qingshan's three closest disciples and steward.
Seeing that Fang Duobing's expression gradually brightened, Li Lianhua knew that he had figured things out.
Tsk, I rushed to Lingshan Sect early in the morning, and it's almost past noon. I'm really tired after not eating or drinking.
