”I know, Lord Fatty, don't worry. Once this matter is settled, we will immediately settle it. At that time, Qingtian will also join us!” After she finished speaking, she patted his shoulder. ”Don't worry. Everything is under my control.”
”En, that's good. We must not delay the rescue of the common people!” The fat progenitor said, still somewhat worried. He didn't know why? He always felt that things had gone way too smoothly, and that something was not quite right.
In the middle of the night, when everyone was sleeping soundly, a black figure flashed in the corner of the backyard and headed in the direction of the mourning hall.
It just so happened that Lingzhu got up in the middle of the night to go to the latrine. Just as she came out of the latrine, she blurrily saw a person in black clothes flashing in front of her.
Strange? She thought she was sleepwalking and rubbed her eyes. Only then did she believe her eyes. A man in black was still covering his face and was sneakily looking around. She immediately hid behind the corner and observed.
He saw that the Japanese had a weak figure and their faces were covered by a veil. He walked around the backyard and followed the Spirit Bead. He arrived in front of the mourning hall.
When this person arrived at the mourning hall, he encountered the blue sky, so he rushed towards the mahogany coffin above the mourning hall. He held onto it with one hand and pushed with all his might, and with a creaking sound, the heavy lid of the coffin was pushed open.
This person was really strange? Lingzhu thought he was probably a thief, but she didn't expect him to be interested in the dead. After the masked man pushed the coffin open, she immediately turned pale with fright. In her panic, she dropped the candle in her hand to the ground.
”How can this be? No body? ” The masked man secretly cursed. At this time, the servant on the front page suddenly heard the noise and walked over. He quickly closed the coffin, turned around and left the mourning hall, and walked towards the backyard.
”Hmm? You clearly heard the sound just now? ” The servant looked around and saw that no one was around. He then shook his head and left.
She hid behind the curtain of the red pillar and turned around to follow the man in black. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace. She faintly felt that something was strange, so she turned around and headed for Xiang Xue'er's room.
Xiang Xue'er, who was sleeping soundly in the room, suddenly heard a knock on the door. She immediately opened her eyes and asked in a low voice, ”Who is it?”
”Xue'er, it's me!” Lingzhu lowered her voice. When Xiang Xue'er heard this, she immediately felt that it was strange. This woman did not sleep in the middle of the night. What the hell are you doing knocking on my door?
As a result, she pushed it open, and saw Ling Zhu mysteriously walk in quickly. After looking around, she closed the door, and reported on the previous situation: ”Xue'er, guess what I just saw?”
Xiang Xue'er froze for a moment. You came all the way here in the middle of the night just to say that? Could it be something important? She quickly lit the candles in the room and they sat down at the table. ”Is there something important?”
Ling Zhu furrowed her brows and pondered for a long time before shaking her head. ”I don't know if it's something important, but I just feel that it's very strange!”
Then, she told Xiang Xue'er about the man in black that she had just seen. The two of them immediately fell into deep thought.
Xiang Xue'er stroked her chin as she slowly began to ponder. ”Based on what you've said, it sounds like a person with such a voice.” It's probably a man. Furthermore, he was only inspecting the coffin and did not see the corpse before he left. Could it be that he was looking for something? ”
”I think so!” Ling Zhu confirmed Xiang Xue'er's thoughts. ”However, it seems that this person doesn't know that the Blue Dye Sword's corpse is still in the autopsy room. It hasn't been put back into the coffin.”
