My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 193 Recalling the Murder Scene

Xiongfengling, Guanjia.

In the reception hall, a slightly overweight elderly man sat at the head of the table, looking down at a young man sitting on a sofa.

The slightly overweight old man was named Guan Qingtong, and he was the elder brother of the deceased Third Master Guan.

To avoid using the same term as Guan Yu, no one calls him Guan Erye (Second Master Guan), but simply "Tong Erye" (Second Master Tong).

His strength was second only to the family head, Guan Qingyuan, and even greater than Guan Sanye. His aura spread out, and the energy fluctuations of the sequence could be faintly seen throughout the hall.

Many of the ornaments in the hall trembled slightly, echoing the energy sequence.

But the young man on the sofa remained calm and composed in the face of such a bizarre and horrifying scene, quietly listening to Guan Qingtong finish recounting everything that had happened.

"So, Second Master, you only found my brother's quinoa-patterned knife, but didn't see the murderer?" the young man said.

This young man is named Guo Lin, and Guo Fan is his cousin. The two brothers are the closest to each other among the Guo family's descendants.

However, Guo Lin's strength far surpasses that of Guo Fan, mainly because the two have vastly different lineages.

Guo Lin is usually low-key, and even though he is extremely capable, he is the only one among his uncles and other relatives who doesn't show off his abilities.

She is virtually unknown to the outside world and is not as famous as Guo Fan.

Guo Fan liked to show off, and Guo Lin once reminded him to tone it down and to think things through before acting.

Guo Lin was completely unaware of Guo Fan's actions until after the incident, when Guo Fan was confirmed dead. His family then used their extraordinary connections to find out what Guo Fan was doing before his death.

Although I don't know the specifics, I vaguely know that this matter is related to Jiezi.

Guo Lin then volunteered, and after consideration, the head of the Guo family agreed to let him represent the Guo family to contact the Guan family and visit them to discuss how to handle the matter.

Guo Lin knew very well that the Guan family must also have secrets, and what they told him was not necessarily the whole story; many details were definitely hidden.

From the Guan family, he learned that Third Master Guan had made enemies outside and was being hunted down.

However, when the two sides confronted each other, they naturally realized that Guan Yu's enemy could not be Guo Fan, and Guo Fan was not qualified to be Guan Yu's enemy given his strength.

Therefore, it is certain that someone else was involved in this matter. As for whether that person also killed Guo Fan at the same time, that remains to be seen.

However, there is a high probability that this murderer stole Guo Fan's li-patterned knife, killed Guan Yu, and then framed the Guo family.

Guan Qingtong believes this is most likely the case; otherwise, the Guo family wouldn't be so stupid as to kill someone and leave behind such blatant evidence.

However, the Guan family has no clue as to who the murderer is.

Guan Qingtong said, "We've used every means at our disposal, and all we know is that this person is most likely male. We can't get any more information than that."

Guo Lin took out Guo Fan's quinoa-patterned knife and placed it on the table: "I've also checked this knife. It only has fingerprints left by your people when they delivered it, not the murderer's fingerprints."

Guan Qingtong nodded: "We checked it back then. The fingerprints on the knife might have been wiped off, I don't know why, and there was also some fine stone powder. But there were definitely no suspicious fingerprints left."

They were unaware that Li Jiuhe was in a petrified state at the time, with a layer of stone film rising on his body, making it impossible for him to leave any marks on it.

As for the marks on the hilt, they had long been wiped away by Li Jiuhe.

"Actually, I have another method I can try."

Guo Lin pointed to a black-clad man who had been standing behind him, head slightly bowed and silent. The man was dark-skinned and thin, and looked inconspicuous; he was the kind of person you would easily lose in a crowd.

"This is my servant—Xunfeng. His sequence line is ordinary, but his ability is quite special—"

Before he could finish speaking, Guan Qingtong blurted out in astonishment, "Is he skilled at tracking?"

Guo Lin smiled and nodded: "However, we will have to trouble you, Second Master. Xunfeng needs to arrive at the scene of the incident in order to fully unleash his abilities, so we may have to go to the place where Third Master Guan was killed."

Guan Qingtong hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Originally, even many members of the Guan family were forbidden from entering the scene where Guan Sanye was murdered, but now there was no other way; in order to find the murderer, they could only let these two outsiders in to take a look.

After all, the Guan family doesn't have a Sequencer like the Guo family who are skilled at tracking.

Before long, the group arrived at Guan Yu's residence.

The area has been sealed off since the incident, and the villa remains empty and uninhabited.

As for when the destroyed houses will be partially repaired, there is no time to determine.

The group entered the first floor and then cautiously made their way to the master bedroom on the second floor.

As they climbed the stairs, they sensed that the foundation of the second floor was unstable and seemed likely to collapse at any moment, so only three people went up.

After entering the master bedroom, Guo Lin and the servant named Xunfeng looked around and saw that the place where the huge bed used to be was covered with dried blood.

The scattered furniture and other items have been tidied up, and the bedroom is now empty.

Guan Yu's body and the pieces of flesh had long been cleaned up.

Guo Lin pointed to the spot where half of Guan Sanye's body had been, and before he could speak, Guan Qingtong nodded: "Yes, that's where my brother was killed."

Before Guo Lin could give any instructions, Xun Feng had already strode over and stood above the bloodstains.

He opened his hands and pressed them down slightly, and a visible flow of air appeared, surrounding his body.

Before long, the range of this airflow began to increase, covering the entire area of ​​the large bed, flowing slowly.

This cycle repeated for a while, and Guo Lin's expression had changed.

Because he had never seen Xunfeng spend so much time on tracking something like this before; it should have been over long ago.

After waiting a while longer, the other party was still tracking them and did not stop.

Guo Lin couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

The flowing air suddenly stopped, and Xunfeng looked up with a puzzled expression: "Young Master, I can tell that a strange man once entered this place, but strangely, I can't find any trace of him no matter what I do."

"Any other discoveries?" Guo Lin asked.

"That place—"

Xunfeng raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the passage where Li Jiuhe had left the Guan family through the flowing mist and headed towards the Ghost Forest.

"That person simply vanished from that spot, but I've been unable to track down any information about him since."

Guo Lin hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you need my help?"

Xunfeng looked embarrassed, but still nodded and bowed to Guo Lin: "Please help me, young master."

Guan Qingtong looked at Guo Lin in surprise. He didn't know what Guo Lin's sequence was, so could it also be related to tracking ability?

Guo Lin stepped forward and stood at the spot where Xun Feng had just pointed out where Li Jiuhe had disappeared, and said to Xun Feng, "That's enough."

As Xunfeng controlled the airflow to cover that location, Guo Lin narrowed his eyes slightly. A sequence energy that only he could feel overflowed from his body, quickly enveloping the area.

However, he also controlled the area he covered, naturally bypassing Guan Qingtong's position to dispel any concerns that he might be using the opportunity to investigate him.

The next second, Guo Lin's eyes snapped open, and the scene in the bedroom suddenly changed. All the furniture was back in place, and the huge bed was back intact.

You can even see the super fat Guan Yu sleeping soundly on the bed.

Then a figure quickly entered through the door. The person was a man, about 1.8 meters tall, with a handsome appearance, but with a surprised expression on his face.

What happened next was a replay of that scene in the bedroom.

This kind of replay can only be implemented with Guo Lin's assistance in Xun Feng's abilities; if either of them were alone, they simply could not achieve this effect.

The fight in the room started quickly and ended just as quickly.

Guo Lin watched as the powerful stranger quickly dealt with Guan Sanye's steward and servants who had come to his rescue, severely injured Guan Sanye, and then returned to plunge the quinoa-patterned knife into Guan Sanye's head.

The man remained calm and unhurried throughout. After doing all this, he quickly approached the spot where Guo Lin was standing.

He drew closer and closer until his face was clearly visible to Guo Lin, and then disappeared from sight.

It was at that moment that the man walked into the floating mist and left.

Guo Lin closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the scene before him had returned to its current state.

He said nothing, but the image of the stranger resurfaced in his mind; he had never seen this man before.

The opponent was not only powerful, but also produced Guo Fan's quinoa-patterned knife, framing the Guo family for killing Guan Yu.

Therefore, the hatred between him and Guo Fan may not be less than that between Guan Yu and Guan Yu.

"Trying to kill two birds with one stone, what a wicked intention!" Guo Lin muttered to himself.

"Have you found that person?" Guan Qingtong's eyes lit up when he saw Guo Lin's appearance, and he strode closer to ask.

Guo Lin nodded, then shook his head: "I'm sorry, Second Master, I could only see what happened here at the time, and I couldn't track down that person's whereabouts. However, the facts are indeed consistent with our previous guess. After severely injuring Third Master Guan, this person wanted to escape, but quickly returned and used my Guo family's quinoa-patterned knife to deliver the final blow, deliberately leaving evidence."

"Did you see what he looked like?" Guan Qingtong immediately asked.

"Yes."

"Is it clear or not?"

"clear."

"I'll find someone who can draw portraits right away—"

Before Guan Qingtong could finish speaking, Guo Lin interrupted him: "No need, I can draw it myself."

After a pause, Guo Lin continued, "Once I draw the portrait in more detail, I can hand it over tonight. I believe it won't be more than two days before we find out who this person is."

Inside a private jet in the clouds.

Li Jiuhe sat in a wide leather chair, which was reclined slightly. Several wine glasses filled with expensive red wine were placed in front of him.

These were all prepared in advance by the wealthy man Bo Mingyun, along with various delicacies.

Of all the food, only Ma Li ate the most. After Li Yi ate a few bites, she took her little Q doll and went to play with it. She was quiet now, probably asleep.

In fact, the plane has now flown out of the airspace of Tian Shu Kingdom and entered the airspace of Liu Li Kingdom.

Li Jiuhe turned to the side, looking at the scenery outside the airplane window.

They had just flown over the Dragonspine Mountains region. Looking down at the faintly visible Dragonspine Mountains, Mali was unusually lost in thought, sitting there motionless.

Only after crossing the Dragon Ridge Mountains, a region she knew all too well, did she remember to stuff the soft, chewy bread in her hand into her mouth, saying, "This butter bread smells so good! Brother Li, you should try some too."

-

Li Jiuhe waved his hand.

Just then, he suddenly felt uneasy.

Adjusting the chair back to its normal position, I looked around and saw Li Yi lying on the opposite sofa, hugging a doll and breathing evenly. Ma Li had already covered her with a thin blanket.

Li Jiuhe then turned his attention to a locker diagonally opposite.

The cabinet contained that urn containing ashes—the urn.

He sensed something and realized that the problem wasn't with the box, but rather that the unease he felt came from deep within his own heart.

The death pass isn't with him right now, so Li Jiuhe has nowhere to ask.

A moment later, a female attendant from the stern approached Li Jiuhe and asked in a gentle voice, "Sir, what would you like for lunch later? We offer M8 steak, lemongrass roasted chicken, pan-fried cod, and soup—"

Before she could finish speaking, Ma Li replied, "A little of everything."

Li Jiuhe asked in surprise, "You can still eat?"

"I can eat, I can eat, I'm only half full." Ma Li looked at the waiter and urged, "Hurry up and prepare it!"

"Wait a minute," Li Jiuhe asked the flight attendant, "How much longer until the plane reaches its destination?"

The waiter checked the time and smiled, replying, "It's been about six hours. We've now arrived in the Liuli Kingdom, but our destination, Dan City, is located between the Liuli Kingdom and the Volcanic Continent, spanning almost half of the Liuli Kingdom, so it will take a bit longer."

Li Jiuhe then pointed to the metal door leading to the front cabin not far away, "Where's the key to that door?"

"It's here with me," the waiter said. "Excuse me, sir, would you like to open the door to the connecting cabin?"

"No need, thank you! You can go ahead and do your work." Li Jiuhe shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.

At the same time.

Inside the cabin, Bo Mingyun opened his laptop. Before him was a large amount of summarized data and explanations that his secretary in Dancheng had just sent over.

He would frequently pick up the phone on the plane to communicate with his secretary and call the heads of his departments.

In contrast, his son, Bo Mingjun, opened a map on his computer and discussed with his fiancée, Yue Ke'er, where to travel after the wedding next month.

The two were deeply in love and enjoying themselves immensely.

Not long after, Bo Mingjun said to his father, "Dad, who are the people on our plane behind us? Don't agree to any requests made by the Tian Shu Kingdom officials. I think they are clearly a family who just want to take this opportunity to travel abroad."

Bo Mingyun shook his head and said, "Don't gossip about them. This is an affair of the Tian Shu Capital Investigation Bureau. They're going abroad on business, not for tourism."

"Are they investigators?" Bo Mingjun asked.

"That's probably it, but don't pry into official matters, especially the Investigation Bureau. They won't have any dealings with us from the moment they board the plane until they leave. Put away your curiosity and take a good look at the financial report for last quarter that I sent you." Bo Mingyun's tone became somewhat stern.

Just then, two flight attendants brought lunch.

Seeing that his father was still busy, Bo Mingjun suggested, "Dad, do you want me to help you look at these data? You should eat first."

Bo Mingyun waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the screen, and replied, "The data for this batch of projects is very complex. You don't know as much about Dancheng's affairs as your brother Xiaozhou. You guys eat first, I'll eat later."

Bo Mingjun's expression darkened, and he nodded slightly, his gaze reluctantly withdrawing from the rows of flowing data tables.

His fiancée, Yue Ke'er, probably guessed what he was thinking. She gently pinched Bo Mingjun's arm, telling him to eat quickly and not to overthink it.

Just then, Bo Mingyun, who was staring at the data, suddenly looked up and asked her son and daughter-in-law with surprise, "Did you hear something?"

The two young men looked at each other blankly, then Bo Mingjun asked, "What was that sound?"

Bo Mingyun's expression turned somewhat surprised: "Hmm—it sounds like—a cat's meow."

"A cat?" Bo Mingjun stood up in surprise, looking around. "Where did this cat come from on the plane?"

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly paused, "Dad, what did you just say Uncle Zhan asked you to transport?"

Bo Mingyun also realized: "The carcass of a blue-striped lynx, an extremely rare delicacy."

In fact, the blue-striped lynx is a protected animal in the Tian Shu Kingdom, and it is strictly forbidden to capture, kill, or sell it, but some people still take the risk and do this.

Bo Mingyun initially refused the man surnamed Zhan's request for transport.

However, this guy has always had a good relationship with the Bo Ming family, and in addition, the other party agreed to cooperate with the Bo Ming family on a deal worth more than 70 million in Dan City as a reward for this shipment.

That's why Bo Mingyun just said it was just a business deal.

"Could that blue-striped lynx be alive?" Bo Mingjun asked in surprise, suddenly feeling uncertain.

Bo Mingyun boarded the plane earlier than them and watched as Lynx's body was wrapped up in layers of clothing and then stuffed into the cargo hold below.

He shook his head: "Impossible, I saw its corpse with my own eyes, it was already dead."

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands: "That thing is about a meter long, and with its tail, it's a full two meters long."

After saying that, he called over an older man who seemed to be the butler, "Old Tian, ​​did you just hear a cat meowing?"

"No, it's not meowing." Old Tian shook his head, looking surprised.

"Go check the cargo hold downstairs."

"Yes, sir."

Old Tian immediately turned around, grabbed a flashlight, and walked towards the passageway leading to the cargo hold.

After this commotion, Bo Mingyun lost her will to continue working. She got up, walked to the dining table, picked up her own meal, and started eating.

The cargo hold was right below their hold, and they could go down in a minute or two, but they didn't see Lao Tian come up even after they finished their lunch.

Bo Mingyun walked to the entrance of the passageway, looked down at the cargo door that had been opened and the steps that extended downwards, and called out to Lao Tian a few times.

no respond.

Bo Mingjun also came over, but instead of going down, he leaned out of the cargo hold and shouted "Old Tian" loudly.

This time there was a response, but it wasn't Lao Tian's voice; instead, it was a very clear, hoarse meow.

The father and son paused slightly above the cargo hold opening, then exchanged a glance instinctively.

The next second, Bo Mingjun slammed the cargo door shut.

"What's going on? Why did you close the door? Old Tian is still inside! Could it be that the cat really isn't dead?"

"Did I see it wrong just now?" Bo Mingyun asked a series of questions.

He clearly sensed that his son's reaction was somewhat unusual, and was about to go forward and reopen the cargo door.

Bo Mingjun pressed his hand against the door, his voice tense, and said to him, "Dad, don't—don't open the door—something's not right—"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a knock came from the other end of the cargo hold door.

"Sir, why did you close the door?"

"It's Lao Tian, ​​son, open the door quickly," Bo Mingyun urged.

Bo Mingjun was somewhat surprised and uncertain, but after a moment, he still grasped the door opening button and was about to press it down.

Old Tian's voice rang out again from behind the door: "Open the door, sir, meow—"

'

The last meow made the father and son in front of the door tense up instantly. Bo Mingjun not only gave up on opening the door, but even used his body to block the door.

The father and son looked at each other, both seeing fear in each other's eyes.
