Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"Why do you look a little weird?"

Huang Qiyun looked down at her clothes and hair, rearranged them, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"That's weird..." Bai Yu moved closer, picked up the girl's hair and sniffed it gently: "It's so cute."

"!!!"

Five hundred years from now, these cheesy love words will be evaluated as "My life is smooth, but my fate is not smooth."

But five hundred years ago, it was considered quite fashionable.

As long as you lower the level of the times, earthy and greasy things can become fashionable and tasteful.

At least it was very effective on Huang Qiyun. It broke her defense in an instant, completely disrupting the opening remarks she had prepared for an hour or two and the courage she had worked so hard to muster. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a cute girl with a blushing face and her chin poking her chest.

No.

We can't be caught so easily.

She took a deep breath and mustered up her courage: "I have something to say."

Then when he raised his head, he saw Bai Yu covering himself with the quilt.

"Good night, I'm going to sleep, you should also go to bed early, baby."

"……Good night."

Still, he was easily controlled.

……

In another room.

"What's wrong, sir?"

"There are quite a lot of rats in the villa. As soon as I fell asleep, I could hear the sound of rats digging holes. It was really noisy."

"Master, please calm down."

"No, I'm really angry now!"

……

Room.

"Was she really cured by the Medical Saint?" the Ninth Princess asked excitedly.

"I saw it with my own eyes, so there can be no mistake." Yang Zheng was also very surprised: "She looked like she was about to die of illness, but I just tested her and she was extremely healthy."

"The Medical Saint has been lurking for so many years. It is very likely that he has found a way to remove the blood poison. This palace is saved." The Ninth Princess lowered her eyes and breathed rapidly: "Tomorrow, tomorrow it will definitely be possible..."

……

Silent all night.

The next morning, a sharp sound suddenly echoed inside Baicao Villa.

"Ah! Help! Someone's dead!"

Such a sharp sound naturally could not escape everyone's attention.

Bang Bang Bang!

The door was pushed open, and several figures rushed to the center of the courtyard and stopped.

Huang Qiyun, Yang Zheng and the Gun Leader surrounded the screaming woman first.

Jin Fugui hurriedly put on his coat and came over from his room, helping up the pale-faced concubine and the cook: "What's wrong with you? What did you see?"

"Master, there's a dead body! There's a dead body!" The cook pointed to the other side in horror: "I saw a body!"

"Where is the specific location?"

"It's over there, just keep going along the road..."

The three of them looked at each other and set off.

Before they arrived, they saw a man standing in the middle of the road. It was none other than Bai Yu.

"Brother Bai, when did you come?" Jin Fugui asked in surprise.

"I just got here. We can find the body by following your wife's footprints." Bai Yu said calmly: "But it's still shocking to see it. I didn't expect that the dead person would be her..."

The road was winding and led to a secluded place. Bai Yu was standing at the exit of the path, blocking the view of others.

After he stepped forward and cleared the way, the others saw the appearance of the corpse and gasped.

Yang Zheng turned his head and said, "Your Highness, please don't look at it!"

The Ninth Princess hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The corpse just stood there, with a bracket behind her supporting her body. Her white clothes were dyed bright red with blood, and her head was missing. The fatal wound was obviously the gap on her neck.

"This dress..." Jin Fugui was surprisingly brave and even dared to get closer to take a closer look. He said with an unpleasant expression, "Could it be..."

"Hou Molan." Bai Yu read out the name of the deceased.

The daughter of the Medical Saint actually died in Baicao Villa!

This is no small matter!

And the point doesn’t stop there!

"This is the bloody clothes case..." said the Wu family's spear chief in a deep voice.

"Wasn't the Blood-stained Clothes Case concluded several years ago? Don't talk nonsense!" Jin Fugui shuddered with fear.

"It's true. I won't make a mistake!" The Wu family spear leader stared at the corpse and said in a suppressed voice, "This is how my sister died. Her head was chopped off, her clothes were stained with blood, and her body was fixed on a wooden frame! Every detail matches!"

As he spoke, he looked towards Huang Qiyun.

At this time, Huang Qiyun had just recovered from the shock of the bloody clothes case.

She also felt the change in atmosphere, and while she remained silent, her five fingers formed claws under her sleeves.

Once attacked, she will definitely choose to fight back without hesitation!

"It's not certain yet." Bai Yu held Huang Qiyun's shoulders and protected her behind his back. He looked at the gun leader calmly: "Even if everything matches, it may be a copycat. If anyone present really wants to identify the murderer, you'd better have enough evidence, otherwise... please be careful!"

The gun master licked his teeth and said dully, "I just suspect it, but I have no evidence."

"Then shut up." Bai Yu said calmly, "You can't find the murderer anyway."

"Then can you do it, sir?" Yang Zheng asked.

"I can try." Bai Yu said calmly, "But this requires your cooperation."

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you." Yang Zheng took the initiative.

"I need to ask about your movements last night." Bai Yu looked around.

"Are you doubting us?" Jin Fugui pointed at himself.

"Yes." Bai Yu nodded: "I am not the only one who has doubts. Don't you all have doubts?"

"What if this is a killer or something?"

"If it was a killer, why would he leave the body in this state?" Bai Yu said calmly, "Especially when there were two survivors of the blood-stained clothes case at the scene."

"Then you can't doubt those of us present." Jin Fugui said dissatisfiedly: "We are all here to see a doctor, who would kill Hou Molan? Who would dare to do that?"

"I will refute your statement later. This is not the point now. The point is... this is Baicao Villa." Bai Yu said, "This is the secluded place of the Medical Saint. If an outsider breaks in, do you think the Medical Saint will not notice?"

"The Medical Saint is in seclusion with all his heart, and perhaps he might have overlooked something..." The Gun Leader said hesitantly.

"There is a consultation today." Bai Yu said firmly, "We would never fail to notice at any time... Besides, Miss Hou Molan is not without bodyguards. She was killed quietly in Baicao Villa. Isn't this weird?"

"So you suspect the murderer is inside Baicao Villa, not sneaking in from the outside." Yang Zheng nodded and said, "In fact, I have also heard that the designer of Baicao Villa is the famous escape master. Once the formation is activated, no one can sneak in here or force their way in. Even the slightest movement cannot be hidden from the person at the center of the formation."

"Then, then the only way is to ambush here in advance?" Jin Fugui continued.

"He was lying in ambush here. Why didn't he make a move earlier or later, but at this very moment?" Huang Qiyun thought this speculation was outrageous: "He could have made a move after we left!"

"I have another reason to infer that the murderer is among us, and that is the location where the body was found." Bai Yu walked in front of the body and turned back to ask: "Who was the first to discover the body?"

The cook raised her hands: "It's me, and...her."

Wu Susu also raised her hand, looking weak and pale.

"Susu too?" The Gun Master asked in surprise, "How did you see the body?"

"We got up in the morning to prepare breakfast. She saw that I was working alone, so she came to help me carry the ingredients. Then we met this on the way..." The cook didn't dare to look at the headless body at all: "I saw the bones of Miss Lan."

"So, what does this prove?" Jin Fugui was confused.

"This road is the only way to get the food, and the murderer knew this and deliberately placed the body here, waiting for people to notice and discover it." Bai Yu glanced at everyone and continued to infer: "The murderer did it on purpose. He did this to make us realize that Hou Molan was dead early in the morning."

"And Madam, you should still remember what you said last night, right?"

The cook asked carefully, "Did I say anything?"

"You said...there weren't enough ingredients."

"Oh, yes, I did." The cook nodded. "I cooked a lot of dishes yesterday. The ingredients were enough for two or three days. The master asked me to go to the cellar on the other side to get them..."

When she said this, she suddenly realized, "Yes, there is no need to get the ingredients."

Bai Yu took over the topic.

"Yes, that's right!"

"If it was an assassin from outside, how would he know that someone would pass by here in the morning?"

"It was because Jin Fugui's wife said so, and everyone present heard it and knew that she would go to get the food, so they placed the body here!"

"So the murderer who killed Hou Molan..."

"It must be among you!"

Really loud.

Although Bai Yu's inferences and conclusions were brilliant and convincing, these inferences and remarks brought the trust between the people, who originally had some potential for friendship, back to zero. The looks between them gradually became serious, and they even began to be wary of each other.

"Do you really have a way to find out the real murderer?" The Ninth Princess suddenly asked.

"Your Highness, I will do my best." Bai Yu responded calmly.

"Then I will grant you the power to investigate the case! As long as you can find the murderer... I will reward you!" The Ninth Princess said solemnly. Although she was young, she had an aura of nobleness that made people dare not look directly at her: "Don't let Miss Hou Molan... die in vain!"

Bai Yu clasped his fists.

Then he lowered his hands: "But before that, there is still a big problem..."

"How should we tell the Medical Saint that his daughter is dead?" The Ninth Princess paused and said, "Well... I will tell them, but it may take a while."

"No, that's not the question." Bai Yu looked towards the Medical Saint's attic: "Hou Molan is dead. There was such a big commotion just now, it's impossible for the Medical Saint to be unaware of it, but he is not making any movement now."

"What I'm worried about is that he knows the murderer is among us..."

At this moment, a powerful and suppressed voice sounded from the center of the lotus pond.

"Are you worried that I'll leave all of you here and kill you all to be done with it, huh?!"

Chapter 897 Murder Preview

In the center of the lotus pond, in front of the Medical Saint Pavilion.

Everyone is here.

But no one dared to enter rashly.

It was because a figure was standing in front of the pavilion in the center of the lotus pond with his back to everyone.

The other person was wearing shabby clothes and looked unkempt, with a few strands of white in his hair, alternating between white and gray.

If this were a TV series, there would definitely be a subtitle floating by.

——The Medical Saint, please leave your name behind.

"Your Excellency the Medical Saint, we are waiting..."

Yang Zheng spoke first, wanting to say something to ease the serious atmosphere.

"shut up!!!"

With an angry shout, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, the bells in the pavilion rang together. The tinkling sound was not crisp but rather dull.
