After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 582 Random?

"Miss Yu, if you touch the corpse now, will you get something that helps burn?"

Yu Linlang glanced at it and murmured, "Just put on the hand guards and operate. The deceased was burned to this extent, and the special combustion-supporting agent on the skin should have melted by the high temperature. If nothing unexpected happens, there won't be any problem."

Yin Botao nodded with a smile and bowed to Old Li, "Please excuse me, Uncle Li."

Old Li ignored him, walked forward with a toolbox, and after some formalities, carefully examined the body.

His whole body was badly burned and he was unrecognizable.

After examining the body, Old Li replied honestly, "The body was severely burned. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, you can only judge its age based on its body shape and bone age."

"This is my mother. We all witnessed it with our own eyes."

"I scraped a layer of substance from the surface of the corpse." Old Li held a gray porcelain cup and walked towards Lu Qian and others.

Wherever he passed, the people in the underworld retreated with disgust on their faces.

They seemed to be very worried that the thing in Old Li's hand would fly towards them, and the female disciples of Huaihua Palace stayed away from them.

"This sticky substance should be the special combustion-promoting agent that Master Yuhu mentioned. However, after being burned by the fire, it has basically lost its effect."

Lu Qian nodded and looked back at the girl and the others, "Were you with the deceased when the incident happened? Does anyone know where the fire started?"

"The fire started under the corridor in the backyard. My mother was sweeping the corridor at the time." The big girl said with a turn of her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ya Gu frowned, waved her hands at everyone, and made a few gestures.

Ba Liang snorted and translated, "Auntie said no one told you to clean the house at night, so it's obvious she was lying. And my daughter had already told you to go back to your room and rest, so who told you to go out and clean the house?"

"My aunt stayed behind to watch over the house and saw you and your daughter sneaking out of the house. You were out wandering around in the middle of the night, you must be trying to steal something from the garden!"

The girl's expression changed drastically, and she denied it with her neck stiff, "No, definitely not. Miss Ba Liang, how can you say such nonsense in front of so many people without any factual basis?"

"Then tell me, everyone in the backyard was fine, why did your mother catch fire?" Ba Liang continued to ask, and the big girl scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously.

"Hey, girl, why are you telling all kinds of lies?" A disciple from the Nanting Tianqiong Sect said impatiently, "You should know that this is no longer your personal matter. It concerns the safety of everyone on the island. What else do you want to hide?"

"I didn't hide anything." The girl blushed and argued, turning to look at Lu Qian with a sad and pleading look in her eyes, "Sir, I am at a loss right now, and I really don't know where to start."

Ye Wuchen raised his eyebrows, "Just asking how can we be sure that the deceased was under the porch in the backyard when the fire started? Why would the deceased go there in the middle of the night?"

The girl's eyes rolled around, and she was sweating profusely as she racked her brains to think of how to answer.

Yu Linlang sneered, "I guess there must be something shady buried there. Let's take some people over there to dig and we'll know."

The girl's expression suddenly changed. She jumped up and started to curse, "What nonsense are you talking about? We didn't steal anything. Don't try to wrongly accuse us."

Then he looked at Tian Kui again, "Master, you know that my mother and I had a hard life. We just want to live a peaceful life. Why is it so difficult?"

Tian Kui didn't expect that he would be named, so he quickly distanced himself from the matter, "I, I will listen to Junior Sister!"

He had been scolded many times by Senior Brother Tianren. He was told that he needed to think about his head before doing anything. He was told that we monks should not change other people's fate easily. And so on and so forth. It was nothing more than complaining that he was looking for trouble and causing trouble for Junior Sister.

Now that I think about it, it makes sense. I was doing a good deed, but the bitter herbs I saved stuck to my hands and I couldn't shake them off. In the end, I had to ask my junior sister to solve the problem. "Sir." The girl turned around to look at Lu Qian again, her expression extremely resentful.

"Go to the scene and you'll know what's going on." Mu Zhao said lightly and winked at Chang Qing.

The latter ran towards the backyard first.

The rest of the people followed Master Yin and the others to the fire scene.

It was indeed on the corridor in the backyard that a pillar had its paint peeled off due to the fire, and the entire scene looked scorched by the fire.

Changqing came from the side, holding a red floral bag in her hand.

When the girl saw this thing, her face changed.

Changqing threw the things in front of everyone, spread out the bundle, revealing some gold and silver jewelry and a shining dagger inside.

A female disciple from the Hate Heaven Sect cried out, "Ouch!" "Isn't this the dagger that Master gave me? How come it's in your hands?"

"You little thief, you actually dared to steal your aunt's dagger. You are simply courting death." As he said this, he wanted to draw his sword to stab the girl with a pale face.

Master Yin quickly stopped the man and said, "You all are here, please don't be impulsive. If you have any grievances, the Prince and the Crown Prince will take care of it for you!"

The girls in the backyard were shocked. “This is my hairpin.”

"That's the gold-painted wristband I left on the bedside. How did you steal it?"

"No wonder Miss Yu reminded us to leave someone behind when we go out. It's true! I didn't notice before, but there are actually two thieves in the backyard!"

"What is this wooden figure?" A girl used a sword to push the bundle, revealing a small wooden figure underneath the gold, silver, jade and emerald.

Mu Zhao narrowed his eyes and motioned Chang Qing to take it out and have a look.

When everyone took a look, they were surprised to see that the two little thieves had even made a wooden man and pasted a piece of red paper on it with a string of names written on it.

Mu Zhao, Ye Wuchen, Lu Qian and the others glanced at it, and a trace of anger rose in their hearts. They quickly asked someone to check the names on the red paper. After flipping through it, they didn't see Yu Linlang's name, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Linlang didn't understand what was going on. She stood aside and looked at the thing with curiosity. Just as she was about to touch it, she was pulled back by Mu Zhao.

"Such a crude talisman is not very pretty." He turned and told Chang Qing, "Burn the thing and bury the ashes."

"This woman has evil intentions. She steals and practices witchcraft. The owner of the manor will first detain her and wait until the case of her mother's self-immolation is solved before taking further action." Lu Qian gave the order, and owner Yin nodded repeatedly.

"You can't arrest me." The girl was anxious. She was held by the villa guards. She couldn't help twisting her body and screaming, "I'm innocent. I didn't do it. I had no idea. Don't try to frame me."

"My mother's body is still warm, and you treat an orphan girl like this. You are unworthy of being a hero! Let me go, let me go."

No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless as he was still taken away by the villa guards.

Yu Linlang looked at the girl's back thoughtfully.

"what happened?"

"I wonder if the murderer chose his targets randomly." The two victims were completely unrelated to each other and there was no logic at all.
