My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 195 The Blue-Striped Lynx Incident (6.6k)

The waitress was a little confused, not understanding why Li Jiuhe would contact the people in the front cabin so soon after takeoff.

However, she didn't ask any more questions, but quickly took out her keys to open the door.

Ma Li and Li Yi looked at Li Jiuhe in surprise.

Ma Li spoke up, "Brother Li—"

Li Jiuhe waved his hand, interrupting her: "There's a problem! You and Li Yi stay here and keep an eye on the urn in the storage cabinet."

"Okay." Ma Li nodded immediately.

At this moment, the connecting cabin door had been opened by the waiter. She stood beside the door, somewhat confused about what Li Jiuhe wanted to do.

However, the master had previously instructed that the requests of passengers in the rear cabin should be met as much as possible, which naturally included proactively opening the middle cabin door.

When Li Jiuhe passed through the cabin door and then through a passage, appearing before Bo Mingyun and the others, the wealthy man, his son, and his future daughter-in-law were all stunned for a moment.

The three of them were having breakfast at the moment, and Bo Mingyun's workday had not yet begun.

Upon seeing Li Jiuhe suddenly appear, Bo Mingyun put down the spoon in his hand, smiled, and immediately stood up.

He extended his hands to Li Jiuhe: "Excuse me, sir investigator, is there anything I can help you with?"

The person who contacted him this time to arrange his flight was the Investigation Bureau of the Capital City of Tian Shu Kingdom. He naturally guessed that they were investigators, but even if they called him by the wrong name, it didn't matter; that wasn't the point.

Because the other party wouldn't open the hatch and come over for no reason.

Li Jiuhe's gaze swept over the three people, then glanced at the steward and several of Bo Ming's attendants standing further forward.

He didn't answer Bo Mingyun's question for the time being, but instead smiled and shook hands with everyone he saw at that moment.

He quickly became certain that these people were normal humans. Because he had spent a considerable amount of time with Ma Li and had learned from the previous experience with Moth Woman, he could now basically determine who the non-human sequence individuals disguised as humans were through contact and intuition.

However, after talking to them just now, I found that none of them are the case.

He then asked, "Besides the captain and first officer in the cockpit, are there any other people in your front cabin?"

Bo Mingyun shook his head: "No, these are the people you see right now."

"7

Li Jiuhe then asked, "Did you bring a pet on the plane?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Bo Mingyun said, "Sir Investigator, there are no pets here."

Li Jiuhe added, "Perhaps—it's not a pet, but I'm sure it's a cat, a large lynx."

Bo Mingyun and his son Bo Mingjun were taken aback.

"That—" Bo Mingyun realized what was happening.

He didn't know what abilities Li Jiuhe possessed, but it was clearly beyond his imagination, forcing him to tell part of the truth.

"That's right. During my time in Tian Shu Kingdom, a friend gave me a lynx," Bo Mingyun explained. "The investigator may not know this, but the lynx is a totem symbol in our land, representing quiet hunting, concealing one's talents, and deep contemplation."

"So you specifically brought it back to raise?" Li Jiuhe asked.

Bo Mingyun smiled and said, "You misunderstand. This lynx is already dead. We will do some preservation and stuffing treatments on the lynx's body and place it in the house for the purpose of warding off evil spirits."

Li Jiuhe's heart skipped a beat: "So, there's a lynx carcass on this plane?"

"Yes."

"Was it reported to the authorities?"

Bo Mingyun said without changing his expression, "I have reported it. I have the filing certificate from the Administration Bureau."

""

As he spoke, he turned and began searching inside the cabinet.

He does have a registration certificate, but he just received it this morning from his friend surnamed Zhan. Moreover, the lynx species on the registration certificate is only a common type, not the rare blue-striped lynx.

In this regard, they bribed the people at the Environmental Protection Administration and played a word game.

After all, common lynxes are not protected animals; only blue lynxes are. If he was only transporting common lynxes, he was not breaking the law.

Li Jiuhe didn't wait for Bo Mingyun to produce the filing documents, but instead asked in an icy tone, "I'm asking if you reported to the Investigation Bureau before the plane took off?"

Because he knew very well that since there was a sequence item he was to escort, the Bureau of Investigation would definitely ensure the safety of the escort process in the early stages and control various potential risks to the greatest extent possible. But at this moment, there was clearly a potential risk of activating the urn.

Bo Mingyun's face stiffened, and the words she was about to say caught in her throat.

He didn't need to answer; Li Jiuhe already knew the answer.

Where is the lynx's carcass?

"Next—the cargo hold," Bo Mingyun answered honestly.

Bo Mingjun couldn't hold back any longer. He suddenly stood up and his tone became rude.

"Investigator, you're being a bit too nosy. Our Boming family has always maintained a good working relationship with the Tian Shu Kingdom's government, cooperating on everything. The taxes our companies pay in Tian Shu each year are equivalent to half the tax revenue of a small city like yours. And that's not all; we always give our private jets to your government free of charge, whether for passengers or cargo. So what if we're transporting a dead lynx? Does that prevent you from reaching your destination?"

"Xiao Jun, shut up!" Bo Mingyun shouted immediately, but it had no effect.

Li Jiuhe gave Bo Mingjun a cold glance.

Bo Mingjun's fiancée quickly bowed and apologized, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Investigator, he has a bit of a temper. I'm sorry for the trouble! Please don't mind! Here, have some tea, have a cup to calm down—"

As she spoke, she quickly poured a cup of fine tea from the teapot and handed it to Li Jiuhe with both hands. She seemed a little flustered, as the teacup trembled slightly.

Li Jiuhe took the teacup but didn't drink from it; instead, he placed it on the table.

Bo Mingyun continued, "Investigator, because the incident happened so suddenly, the decision was only made this morning, so we didn't have time to inform you. How about this: I will compensate the Investigation Bureau for this incident and complete all the formalities later. I will also cover your return travel expenses."

Li Jiuhe shook his head and pointed to the cargo hold entrance: "I'll go take a look."

Upon hearing this, Bo Mingjun became agitated: "What do you mean, investigator? You're from the Special Incident Investigation Bureau, not the Environmental Protection Administration! You accepted help from the Bo Ming family, rode on our plane, and now you're turning around and investigating our problems."

What's wrong? You vomited after eating too much? I've never seen anyone as ungrateful as you!

Snapped!

Before he could finish speaking, Bo Mingyun slapped him across the face.

"You bastard! Investigator, please don't—"

Li Jiuhe's anger was rising, but almost at the same moment, he suddenly felt dizzy, the world was spinning, and he almost fell.

Not only that, but I also felt a tingling sensation in my right thumb, index finger and middle finger.

An even stronger wave of dizziness washed over him, causing him to stumble. He quickly activated the power of the Morning Palace Stone Golem, causing a faint petrification layer to rise beneath his skin, supporting him.

Only he himself knew about the changes within his body; no one else could see his petrified state.

However, they were all taken aback when they saw that Li Jiuhe's behavior was a bit unusual. Then they heard Li Jiuhe say, "Open the cargo door."

In reality, his head was still very dizzy, as if he had been poisoned, but the powerful strength he gained after merging with the stone man prevented him from fainting.

Left with no other choice, Bo Mingyun had his butler, Lao Tian, ​​open the cargo door. Lao Tian then led the way, and Li Jiuhe, Bo Mingyun, and another attendant went down the steps.

Bo Mingjun and his fiancée Yue Ke'er stood still, with Bo Mingjun looking visibly flustered.

The cargo hold lights were on, making it very bright, but there were many blind spots.

Soon the group arrived at a wrapped object on the ground. It was not obvious from the outside that it was an animal. After the butler and his attendant tore off several layers of the outer packaging, a large lynx carcass was revealed.

If this lynx were alive, its patterned light blue fur would be very beautiful, but now that it is dead, its fur has lost its luster and is stained with messy blood.

Li Jiuhe still felt very dizzy, but with the support of his petrified state, power was continuously rising within his body to counteract it.

He crouched down to examine the lynx's carcass, confirming that it was indeed dead, before speaking: "This lynx—"

It must be expensive, right?

Bo Mingyun dared not hide anything any longer and quickly nodded: "We accept the punishment. It is indeed a protected animal in your country. An acquaintance asked me to transport it back to their country by plane. They want to use it to make family totems, and I only agreed at the last minute—"

Seeing that he had finally told the truth, Li Jiuhe looked up and estimated the distance between the corpse and the urn in the tail compartment.

Logically, the straight-line distance between the two should definitely exceed ten meters, or even reach more than thirty meters. In addition, the urn was sealed by the investigation bureau, so the sequence item should not be able to cause the lynx to turn into a zombie.

However, before the mission was reset, the lynx not only turned into a zombie, but also killed so many people. After stealing the urn, it controlled Bo Mingyun to crash into the plane and escape.

"Could it be that this lynx was a Sequencer in life, and therefore possesses some special attraction even after death, allowing it to ignore distance?" Li Jiuhe speculated.

However, upon further reflection, there was something fishy about this matter, because before the reset, he had found a large number of corpses in that spacious bathroom.

The woman who was next to Bo Mingjun was not among these corpses, and Bo Mingjun, like the others, had died in the bathroom.

There were two bodies that weren't in the bathroom at the time: one was the alluring woman, and the other was Bo Mingyun.

Because of the short time, Li Jiuhe didn't have time to check the cargo hold below.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the cargo hold door leading to the outside of the plane.

The cargo hold entrance was found to be quite large, and opening it now would cause damage no less than the damage caused by the hole in the aircraft before the mission reset.

He abandoned the idea of ​​throwing the blue-striped lynx out directly and had Lao Tian and the other man wrap the lynx's body up again, which then solidified into a bronze weight.

The moment the weight appeared, it startled everyone around. They didn't know what kind of ability Li Jiuhe had, that he could hide such a large weight on his person!

Then the weight slammed down hard on the lynx's corpse. The moment it hit the ground, the lynx's corpse suddenly twitched, followed by a mournful meow.

This scene startled Bo Mingyun and the others, who quickly retreated.

Bo Mingyun retreated too quickly and almost fell, but luckily Lao Tian caught him.

"This—this lynx is—"

They had clearly seen with their own eyes that the lynx was already dead, but who knew it could still make a sound!

Li Jiuhe ignored it and instead used a weight to repeatedly pound and crush the body until the packaging bag was completely deflated, almost flat against the ground, as if it had been ironed.

The lynx only let out its first cry, and then fell silent after being struck heavily by the weight.

It can be seen that the corpse has been completely reduced to minced meat.

Li Jiuhe didn't believe that the urn could bring the lynx back to life under these conditions.

However, precautions still needed to be taken. He turned to look at Bo Mingyun and the others who had retreated to the cargo hold staircase, smiled, and waved.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, you can come over now."

The three approached timidly.

Bo Mingyun couldn't help but ask, "Investigator, what just happened?"

"This thing almost turned into a zombie, but it's fine now," Li Jiuhe replied.

"A zombie—a zombie transformation?!" The three of them turned pale.

"My God!" Bo Mingyun immediately grabbed a pendant she was wearing on her chest for good luck.

Li Jiuhe then said to Lao Tian and his entourage, "Open the packaging bag again, take a few more plastic bags, and put the minced meat inside into separate bags."

Old Tian looked horrified: "Huh? How much...how much?"

"We'll take as much as we can; the goal is to separate the lynx's minced meat," Li Jiuhe said.

There was a large plastic bag hanging next to the stairwell of the cargo hold. The two of them immediately tore down the plastic bag and carefully opened the body packaging bag. Sure enough, they saw that the lynx's body, flesh and bones, had all turned into mincemeat, and a bloody smell filled the cargo hold.

The attendant brought a dustpan and a broom, and Lao Tian found gloves, even putting on two pairs at once, and began to pack the minced meat according to Li Jiuhe's instructions.

Fortunately, the lynx had already been reduced to minced meat, and with Li Jiuhe there, they weren't too afraid.

After quickly packing the items into bags, Li Jiuhe nodded: "That's fine."

When Luo Shuo delivered the urn before, he mentioned that it would undergo a mutation once it came into contact with a corpse.

However, not all corpses can mutate; only those with a certain scale of flesh and blood can.

Seeing that things here were finished, Li Jiuhe's dizziness had also disappeared, but he had not yet shaken off his petrified state.

He clapped his hands, looked at Bo Mingyun, and smiled: "Now let's go back upstairs and deal with that unfilial son who wanted to kill you."

Upon hearing this, Bo Mingyun felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body froze.

"Kill me? You unfilial son?"

Li Jiuhe offered no explanation and turned to leave.

With the help of Lao Tian and the other man, Bo Mingyun, pale-faced, left the cargo hold and returned to the front cabin of the aircraft.

Seeing that Bo Mingyun's expression was not good, Bo Mingjun quickly approached and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Bo Mingyun did not answer. After sitting down, he was panting and staring at his son.

Li Jiuhe laughed and answered for him, "Your dad's been poisoned—"

"Ah!" Bo Mingjun's expression changed, but a hint of surprise flashed quickly in his eyes.

He looked concerned and tried to get closer to Bo Mingyun.

Li Jiuhe stepped between the father and son and said slowly, "I was just kidding. But the steward and his son are indeed poisoned."

Upon hearing this, Bo Mingyun and the others were startled and immediately looked at Lao Tian and the young attendant.

The two men had just returned to the front cabin and were already showing signs of pain. They were pressing their necks, breathing heavily, and their faces were slightly bluish.

"Sit down, everyone sit down! Someone, quickly bring the first-aid kit!" Bo Mingyun said hurriedly.

Li Jiuhe waved his hand: "Chairman Boming, don't worry, they won't die."

"What on earth is going on?" Bo Mingyun was anxious but also extremely puzzled.

Li Jiuhe pointed to his son and future daughter-in-law: "It was all their doing."

"What?"

"As soon as I entered the front cabin, I noticed the smell was off; there was a faint, unpleasant odor in the air. Of course, you are ordinary people, so you might not be able to detect it."

Li Jiuhe explained his analysis: "It wasn't until I entered the cargo hold that I confirmed that the scent was indeed coming from the lynx's corpse, because the cargo hold was also filled with this smell."

At this point, he pointed to Old Tian and his entourage, who were slumped on the sofa, "But I know you might not believe me based on just my word, so I also had your butler test it out. After touching the lynx's carcass, they indeed showed symptoms of poisoning, but the source of the poison had been neutralized, so the toxicity quickly diminished and became very low."

"You—you're making false accusations!" Bo Mingjun said, "Since it's poisonous gas, and everyone is here, how come some people are poisoned while others aren't?"

Bo Mingyun's gaze shifted at that moment, as if he had suddenly realized something.

He asked his son, "You originally planned to go on vacation with Yue Ke'er from Tian Shu Kingdom to the Kingdom of Bolivar, why did you suddenly change your plans and come back with me? Oh right, you heard that my family meeting is about to be held to decide on the succession of the family business. Chairman Bo Ming, you have more than one son, don't you?" Li Jiuhe asked.

Bo Mingyun shook his head: "I also have a second son, Bo Mingzhou. He is very capable and can shoulder heavy responsibilities. He is very much like me when I was young."

"Understood."

Li Jiuhe nodded, then turned to look at Bo Mingjun: "So you're planning to make your move before the family meeting even starts. If your father passes away, you, as the eldest brother, will naturally succeed him according to the order of succession. At the very least, you'll get the lion's share."

"You bastard!" Bo Mingyun roared in fury, slamming his hand hard on the table.

In fact, he had always been disappointed in his eldest son, but he never expected that the guy would secretly take action against him.

"No, Dad, don't listen to this stranger's nonsense!" Yue Ke'er quickly stepped forward and said, "Is it that guy surnamed Zhan trying to harm you? Think about it, we're all together. If we inhaled the poison gas, we would all be affected. How could it be—"

"Couldn't we have taken the antidote beforehand?"

Li Jiuhe interrupted her, then glanced at the bird's nest porridge breakfast the two had prepared, and pointed to the cup of tea he hadn't drunk from earlier.

"I didn't drink the tea you gave me. But even so, the three fingers that touched the teacup are still numb, and I feel dizzy and lightheaded. That means the poison—is quite potent!"

If it were before he merged with the Morning Bell of the Seventh Month, Li Jiuhe would have already fallen into the trap and would have had to reset the mission.

But now that he has the ability to resist petrification, he can tough it out instead of having to rely on resetting.

He continued to Yue Ke'er, "Originally, I only suspected your fiancé, not you, until you gave me that cup of tea."

Then he looked at Bo Mingjun and said, "As for that guy surnamed Zhan who sent the lynx, I will notify the police in Tian Shu Kingdom to arrest him. Then we will know whether he entrusted the lynx to us on his own initiative or you asked him to entrust it to us."

At this moment, Bo Mingjun's face had turned pale and his lips were trembling. It was clear that his psychological defenses were actually very weak. "Guards, tie up this unfilial son who deserves to die!" Bo Mingyun said angrily.

Two attendants immediately stepped forward and restrained Bo Mingjun.

Li Jiuhe simply tossed them a pair of handcuffs. The two henchmen were taken aback for a moment, then picked up the handcuffs and cuffed Bo Mingjun's hands behind his back.

Bo Mingyun coughed for a moment due to anger and distress, then quickly asked Li Jiuhe, "Investigator, does that mean we've all been poisoned?"

"It's alright." Li Jiuhe waved his hand. "The poison I've been given is still very small. It's a slow, insidious kind of poison, unlike the one I was given earlier."

He pointed at Yue Ke'er: "This vicious woman saw me suddenly appear and was worried I would ruin things, so she wanted to kill me as soon as possible!"

"You two are a scoundrel!" Bo Mingyun cursed without caring about anything else.

He then asked Li Jiuhe, "Are there any more handcuffs?"

Li Jiuhe shook his head: "Yes, but it won't work on Yue Ke'er, because she's not an ordinary person, she's a Sequencer!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, including Bo Mingjun, who had just been handcuffed.

"You—you are—a Sequencer?" He stared intently at Yue Ke'er.

"No, I'm not—"

As Yue Ke'er explained, it was as if her body was already unsteady, and she leaned to the side, instantly closing the distance between herself and Bo Mingyun.

Just then, she opened her lips, as if she was about to spit something out at Bo Mingyun.

But the next second, her body tensed up as she was instantly bound by iron chains from head to toe, so tightly that she couldn't even open her mouth, leaving only her eyes visible.

Then a strong force pulled her to Li Jiuhe's side.

Yue Ke'er's attack on Bo Mingyun missed, and her body was controlled. At this moment, all she could see in her two exposed eyes was Li Jiuhe's face.

A smile appeared on Li Jiuhe's face: "You hid it very well; I almost didn't discover your secret. You concealed your true identity, deliberately approached this young master, and completely bewitched him. And it's highly likely that you instigated him to kill his father and seize the inheritance, right?"

The chains tightened more and more until Yue Ke'er's face turned pale, and large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She was unable to move like a mummy.

After hearing Li Jiuhe's words, not only Bo Mingyun, but also Bo Mingjun showed a look of horror.

It's clear that Li Jiuhe guessed correctly; Bo Mingjun truly didn't know Yue Ke'er's real secret.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

In the whole plan, Bo Mingyun is the cicada, Bo Mingjun is the mantis, and Yue Ke'er is the hidden oriole.

She was just a low-level sequencer in the ordinary sequence line, with extremely low sequence energy, no resources or strength, and no hope of upgrading in her lifetime. That's why she took the initiative to use means to get close to Bo Mingjun because she coveted Bo Mingjun's family property.

According to Yue Ke'er's idea, since her sequence ability could no longer be developed, she might as well lower her level and enjoy the life of a superior person among ordinary people.

In fact, Li Jiuhe discovered her suspicious behavior before the mission was reset.

Last time, the blue-striped lynx that was emitting poison gas successfully turned into a zombie, was controlled by the urn, and then killed everyone on board. However, Li Jiuhe did not find Yue Ke'er's body.

From this, he could roughly guess that Yue Ke'er was no ordinary person.

However, her sequencing ability was probably not very strong. After realizing that she couldn't handle the lynx after it turned into a zombie, she had no choice but to hide in the cargo hold.

The whole incident was also full of coincidences. The young couple who were plotting to murder Bo Mingyun did not expect that the blue-striped lynx's body would be resurrected by the urn, causing more killings on the plane.

As for the fact that the urn controlled the body at a greater distance than before, it is most likely due to the nature of the blue-striped lynx itself.

The toxins on this cat are quite peculiar; they should be Yue Ke'er's sequence ability. This woman is skilled in using poison, causing the lynx corpse, which was emitting poisonous gas, to undergo a distant transformation, much like a sequencer, triggered by a more powerful urn containing its ashes.

Li Jiuhe quickly called the police station in Tian Shu City, ordering them to immediately arrest the man surnamed Zhan and interrogate him.

Then, Ma Li was sent to the front cabin to keep an eye on Bo Mingjun and Yue Ke'er, whose freedom had been restricted.

Back in the tail section, Li Jiuhe walked to the storage cabinet, opened the door, and quietly gazed at the tightly wrapped urn containing ashes.

After a long while, the lid of the urn jumped slightly, but because of the rune badge suppressing it, it closed immediately with a snap.

Li Jiuhe pursed her lips, a half-smile playing on her lips.

"I can tell you're very dissatisfied."
