Chapter 1304: Gotta Try It Out

e he'd lived through it all. The feeling of being about to return to the embrace of the beast god was gone, a constant scent of meat filling his nostrils made him feel alive again. He opened his eyes...The ripples' attitude was sincere because too much time had passed. Even with evidence, it would be lost in the river of time and not enough to accuse Tao Jingfeng.

"Then just leave it hanging The bad guys won't get punished."

Ji Hui Lian said, somewhat unwillingly.

"Right now, that's impossible. But if I use my method, I could lure the suspect back. It's just..."

Ripple paused deliberately, then cast her eyes to the corner of the hallway. Gi-Hyelian immediately pressed for details:

"What is it"

"My methods are particular, they require a fragment of the deceased's bone. Can you procure that for me"

Ripple squinted.

What are you going to do with the bones

Ji Hui Lian asked with wide eyes.

"After searching for so long, you wouldn't be unaware that Xi Ruo had two children before her passing, would you"

Ripple asked in return.

She had two children, but when they were one year old, she went to Hong Kong with Tao Jingfeng and never came back.

And our investigation direction is love killing, the suspect is her childhood sweetheart Sun Qing. How did it involve her child

But Xi Nuo told me that the person who killed her was her child's father, Tao Jingfeng.

"What"

That's why her remains were buried in that yard, and using the power of the Five Elements combined with feng shui positioning, she was trapped there, not even having a chance to leave.

Over time, if resentment builds up, she will eventually become a vengeful spirit who has lost her mind and can harm the living.

After Lian Yi finished speaking, she realized that Liang Yong's visit to the small villa was probably not a coincidence. It was possible that the other party had known about Xi Nuo's existence long ago, and now they were just here to reap the benefits. It seemed like this Ghost Controlling Sect was very problematic.

Ji Hui Lian heard a shocking revelation, something so unbelievable that she couldn't comprehend it. She realized their investigation had taken a completely wrong turn.

"You... can you guarantee that what you're saying is true"

"Sure! But I don't have any evidence."

"The ripples spread her hands and said, this kind of thing is still better to be clear, lest others say she promotes feudal superstition."

"I... I need to think about it some more."

Jihelian isn't sure, this isn't a decision that someone she called for help could make.

"Officer Ji, thank you for your hard work. Could you please ask Captain Yu when I can move back It's not fair that I can't even return home because their case isn't solved yet!"

One or two days is fine, even ten days or half a month I can hold on. But any longer and I can't take it. Plus, the headmaster here doesn't like my Whirlwind (pet name). Because of him, my darling can't live in his own house and has to stay here enduring stares. I feel so bad for him.

Ripple said earnestly.

"Okay, I'll ask the captain and see if we can get you home sooner."

Jihuilian soothed the ripples and then hurried away.

On the other side, Liang Yong woke up on the roadside. When he opened his eyes, there were still a few children around him, poking him with small sticks. When they saw him open his eyes, they scattered all at once.

Liang Yong rubbed his temples, then his memory came back. His face flushed black. He hadn't expected that even after revealing his identity, he was still knocked unconscious by a black cat. He had never realized how vulnerable he truly was.

Liang Yong used both hands to push himself up. He took one last glance at the small villa in the distance, then turned and walked away. He was afraid of encountering that black cat again.

After three days, ripples finally returned to her own small villa as she had hoped. This time it was very difficult to hire someone to help with the work, so Ripples could only roll up her sleeves and do it herself.

First, she weeded the area and loosened the soil. Then, she added some basic fertilizer before scattering the flower seeds. Afterward, she ordered two five-year-old locust trees from the flower market and transplanted them into her courtyard. This way, her small courtyard was finally completed in its initial stage.

Just as the ripples had settled, Ji Hui Lian and Yu Liang came knocking.

The ripples were not unexpected. He offered two people tea and showed them the fruits of his labor.

"When my garden flowers bloom, please come and admire them."

The ripples pushed the teacups forward to the two people, and also placed the small fish-shaped cookies she had baked.

The whirlwind has its own special sunbathing mat and its own little food bowl. It's currently gnawing on some energetic dried fish and doesn't have time for the two of them.

Gigi also met someone for the first time who could take a cat into space. The cat seemed to eat better than its owner, but that cat was truly remarkable. Though she only heard it from others and didn't see it herself, Gigi still thought of Cyclone as particularly special.

"Well, Ms. Chou, we've made some progress in our investigation into the bones found in your courtyard. I think it's best to let you know."

Yu Liang looked at the situation and thought if things continued, the conversation would probably veer back to that black cat. He decided to be direct about the topic.

"Officer, you speak now."

Liàn Yī took a sip of tea and said smoothly,

"Xī Ruò's childhood sweetheart, Sun Qìng, was found. He had been working in Haikou all these years and hadn't returned. According to him, someone had deliberately told him that Xī Ruò had hooked up with a Chinese overseas businessman and was living a luxurious life."

He was a bit resentful, feeling that the other person had left him because they looked down on his poverty and loved wealth instead. So he went to pester Xi Nuo, even deliberately letting people see it, with the purpose of making that overseas Chinese disgusted with Xi Nuo.

He still had feelings for Xi Nuo, so he really wanted to take her away. However, Xi Nuo didn't agree and didn't want to get entangled with him.

He saw that there was no hope, so he threatened Xi Luo, saying that if she didn't want him to continue bothering her, she should let her husband misunderstand and pay him off. Then he took Xi Luo's jewelry and left Yangcheng.

He was also afraid that Xi Nuo's overseas Chinese husband would send people after him. These years, he has been mixing outside and hasn't returned home at all. He also claimed to have no idea about the rumors back home that he eloped with Xi Nuo.

He lied, even though he didn't come back, there must be friends at his hometown, it's impossible to not receive any news at all.

He didn't come back because he was afraid of revenge, and also because he should know that Xi Nuo was murdered. He was afraid that if he spoke, he wouldn't be able to explain Xi Nuo's whereabouts clearly, so he stayed away all this time.

Ripple shook his head.

Yu Liang glanced at the ripples, once again confirming that the thin girl in front of him was not simple.

"You're right, that's what we suspected too. We interrogated him, and the time of Xi Luo's death matches his departure time very closely. He can't shake off suspicion for now, but we don't have enough evidence to charge him."

At bright, speak truthfully.

So what

"So after Ji Huilian told us your proposal, we decided to give it a try."

Yu Liang finally stated his purpose.

"Are you sure"

Liàn Yī was surprised that Yu Liàng would eventually compromise. She felt that the other party didn't believe any of this.

"Not believing doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and trying won't hurt."

Yu Liang finished speaking, then took out a transparent plastic bag from his briefcase and put it in front of Lian Yi.

"This is what you need."

"Alright, I won't break your rules. This is just a medium, and I can give it back to you tomorrow."

Ripples said calmly.

Then we will wait for your good news.

After finishing his task, Yu Liang didn't say much and left with Ji Hui Lian.

"Master, how could he believe you"

Given the current situation, he should have encountered similar things before, so this time he decided to give it a try. And Chieh-Lien probably told the captain about my special qualities. her head, met Rhodesman's gaze, and after a moment said:"Father, I've been hearing rumors while wandering the city lately. People say that I'm your illegitimate son and therefore not eligible to inhe...
