Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"Where are you going to start your investigation next?" Yang Zheng asked.

"The murderer is right here. Why doesn't Diao Si go to accompany the Ninth Princess, but is he keeping an eye on me?" Bai Yu said with a half-smile, "I said three days, and it's three days. No one would joke about their own life, right?"

"Your Highness asked me to assist you, not to monitor you... Besides, it's broad daylight now, so I don't think there's any danger." Yang Zheng said slowly: "You don't want me to get involved, are you suspicious of me?"

"You are not the murderer." Bai Yu said directly.

"Oh?"

"If you are the murderer, then you are just the one being instigated, and the mastermind behind this is the Ninth Princess."

"..." Yang Zheng stared at Bai Yu sharply without saying a word.

"It's just a joke, don't be so serious." Bai Yu smiled slightly.

"Don't make such jokes again. It can kill people." Yang Zheng closed his eyes and said, "But I will listen to your advice and go back to Her Highness to protect her."

Diao Si left first with a tense expression.

"Why did he leave?" The gun leader beside him was confused.

"Because the murderer will definitely commit a second crime, and the main victims of the blood-stained clothes case are unmarried women."

"You mean?"

"Who can say whether this time they are targeting the survivors of the Blood-stained Shirt Case?" Bai Yu glanced at the leader of the gun: "Wu Susu is the same, she is not absolutely safe."

The gun master's face changed: "Then I still have to go back quickly."

As he was talking, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "Did Huang Qiyun really stay with you the whole time last night?"

At this point, the gun leader still suspected that she was the murderer.

Bai Yu said calmly: "We slept in the same bed last night, how could it be false?"

Although it is a story about beasts and worse than beasts.

But Bai Yu has basically cleared Huang Qiyun of suspicion. She did not leave the whole night and could not be the real murderer in the blood-stained clothes case.

“I hope you haven’t been deceived.” The Gun Master clenched his fists. “It’s better not to have another death, otherwise… you won’t be able to explain yourself!”

"and many more."

"Have you changed your mind?" The Gun Leader turned around.

"Not really, but we've already seen the body. We can't just leave it lying here forever. Find a place nearby to bury it."

"This is too sloppy. They didn't even hold a funeral!" The Wu family's spear leader frowned. The people of Daxia have always attached great importance to funerals. They are not a poor family, so why would they bury the body so hastily?

"Then you should take the body to the ice cellar and preserve it."

"Why should I go?"

"You mean let those girls do this?"

"how about you?"

"I'm poisoned. I'm so severely poisoned that I can't even breathe. If I get a stitch in the side, will you be in charge of investigating the case?"

The gun master was ordered around and sent the corpse to the underground ice cellar where food was stored with an unhappy look on his face.

Bai Yu looked at the weather which was becoming gloomy. The fog in the Baicao Valley in the distance had risen very high, almost covering the surrounding terrain.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

A minute later, Huang Qiyun appeared nearby and handed over a plate of buns: "You must be hungry, eat something."

"Thanks."

"You don't have to feel so stressed. Even if we can't solve the case, we can leave safely." Huang Qiyun looked at him, her tone gentler than ever before. She seemed a little worried that Bai Yu would try too hard and bring disaster upon himself.

"I know, but... we have to get to the bottom of it this time." Bai Yu took a bite of the beef-filled bun.

"why?"

"Because the real culprit of the blood-stained clothes case is here." Bai Yu pinched her cheek: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I said I would clear you of suspicion."

Huang Qiyun slightly widened his eyes, and then lowered his gaze the next moment: "I don't care about these."

"You can be generous and not care, but I have to care because I am petty." Bai Yu said with a smile, "I can't bear to see the girl I like being wronged... and the other party has been taking human lives for so many years, it's time for him to count his sins."

Huang Qiyun thought that she would rather give up her innocence than see him get hurt... The moment this impulsive thought arose, she had an urge to carry the other person and forcefully leave Baicao Valley.

But she held back.

"Once I judge that there is danger, I will take you away by force."

Huang Qiyun said seriously and solemnly: "Make a promise with me...Listen to me at the critical moment."

She realized that her expression was too harsh, and her tone softened: "Okay?"

Can Bai Yu still say no?

He raised his little finger, held it together, and said obediently: "Okay... I'll listen to you about family matters."

Huang Qiyun hooked her fingers and responded at first, then realized that the words were somewhat ambiguous, and immediately raised her eyebrows in shame and anger: "You're taking advantage of me again!"

"Hey, wait a minute, young lady, ladies should talk instead of taking action..."

While they were playing and fighting, they suddenly heard a scream.

This was the second time I heard this scream, and it was as distinctive as William's cry, like an alarm.

After just ten breaths, a group of people gathered at the location where the sound came from.

Right in front of the Ninth Princess’ door.

The one who was screaming was the cook, who had collapsed to the ground.

The Ninth Princess stood aside with a puzzled look on her face.

"Be...she...be!" the cook gasped breathlessly.

"What happened?" Yang Zheng said angrily, "Explain it clearly!"

Jin Fugui supported the cook and said, "Everyone, wait a moment. Madam needs to take a breath."

But the cook was obviously frightened and lost her voice for a moment.

"I think she didn't mean passively being, but carrying from behind."

Bai Yu came over and looked at the Ninth Princess: "Please check the back of your Highness."

Yang Diaosi immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I hope you will forgive my impoliteness."

He went around to the back and indeed found something.

It was a piece of paper that was stuck on the back of the Ninth Princess at some point.

Take off the piece of paper with a line of words written on it.

——Today at midnight, take the royal blood, fill the container, and make up for the regrets of the past!

This short line of words can be condensed into a simple sentence: At twelve o'clock tonight, kill people and bleed!

The gun master's expression immediately changed, and he was extremely angry: "Is this a preview of the real murderer of the bloody clothes case?!"

"He actually set his sights on Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Your Highness has fainted, go get a basin of water!"

When the note was discovered, there was chaos at the scene.

Some people were calm, some were shocked and angry.

The Ninth Princess fainted directly, probably due to being too emotional.

Bai Yu picked up the note that fell on the ground and glanced at the people around him, as if thinking about something.

When was this piece of paper put up?

Chapter 898 Waiting for a long time

"His Highness is awake!"

The Ninth Princess was a little frightened and was unconscious for half an hour.

When she woke up, she still looked quite frightened.

As a victim of the blood-stained clothes case, although her memory of the incident was not very clear, she was definitely left with a very deep psychological trauma.

Bai Yu knocked on the door: "May I ask Her Royal Highness the Princess something?"

"Your Highness, I'm sorry to frighten you. Let's talk about it later." Yang Diaosi stood in front of the door and refused to let anyone in.

"That's fine..." The Ninth Princess raised her hand and whispered, "I want to talk to him alone. Yang Diao Si, please go and guard outside the door."

Yang Diaosi glanced at Bai Yu, hesitant to speak, but still bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

Bai Yu came to the bed, looked at the pale-faced Ninth Princess, and sat directly on the stool: "Your Highness, did you notice when this piece of paper was stuck on your back?"

“No.” The Ninth Princess smiled bitterly: “I really didn’t notice it, so I felt scared… The murderer really is very close to us.”

"Your Highness, there is no need to panic. If the target is really Your Highness, why would they have to add such a piece of paper?" Bai Yu said calmly, "The murderer just wants to cause panic in this way."

"Are you sure?" The Ninth Princess hesitated, "Is the murderer's target really not me?"

Bai Yu originally wanted to say that he had watched Conan and knew Kaito Kidd's old tricks. Many times, the flaws came from one's own side causing trouble.

He suddenly had an idea and asked, "Why do you think the murderer will definitely target you? Is it just because you are the survivor of the blood-stained clothes case?"

The Ninth Princess pursed her lips and did not answer for a while, as if she was afraid of something.

Wow...it seems like she really knows something?

Bai Yu came closer: "If your highness has anything to say, you might as well tell me directly."

The ninth princess rubbed her fingers, still hesitant.

Bai Yu continued, "If His Highness tells us, then we will stay outside the door tonight to ensure that you are safe tonight... and I have a bottle of healing medicine here that may be able to relieve the blood poison in your body."

Hearing this, the Ninth Princess raised her eyes and asked, "Are you serious?"

Bai Yu took out a Saint-level blood bottle and said, "A gentleman's word is a promise. Pay the deposit first."

He poured the bright red potion into the teacup.

Bai Yu said, "Do you want me to drink it first to test the poison?"

"If you want to poison me, you will never be able to walk out of here alive." The Ninth Princess lowered her eyes: "You didn't have much time to live anyway."

She took the teacup, her fingers trembling, but she finally mustered up the courage and drank the potion in one go. Then she suddenly opened her eyes wide: "So sweet... Is it lychee flavor?"

After drinking a cup of good medicine, the Ninth Princess sat quietly for less than ten seconds and felt a warm current flowing through her limbs. She clenched her fists. Her arms were thin and weak, and she could hardly lift an object weighing ten kilograms. But at this moment, she got off the bed, and with one go, she was able to lift a stool.

"This..." The Ninth Princess said with bright eyes, "Incredible, this medicine is actually effective? My qi deficiency and physical weakness seem to have been cured, and the burning pain caused by the blood poison has also been alleviated a lot."

She stared at the glass bottle in Bai Yu's hand with a look of strong desire: "Give me this holy medicine quickly, and I will agree to anything you ask!"

"Your Highness, you have to take the medicine slowly. Too much is as bad as too little. Your body may not be able to bear it... If you drink too much, it will be a burden to you." Bai Yu said calmly: "You don't want to experience the pain of scraping bones to treat poison, do you?"

The Ninth Princess stopped moving and stood up again in a dignified manner: "Then, I can tell you what you want to know."

She sat back on the bed and recalled, "I can tell you that the murderer of the bloody clothes case... is a man."

"Oh?" Bai Yu raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"When I was killed, I couldn't see his face and didn't hear his voice, but I saw his feet. They were very big, so they couldn't be women's feet." The Ninth Princess gestured to measure the size.

These feet are close to size 50, and certainly don't look like a woman's feet.

"Didn't Your Highness have anyone to verify this clue that he knew?"

"I have said it, but to no avail." The Ninth Princess shook her head and sighed, "Besides, the world is so big, and there are so many people with big feet. Are they all going to be caught and chopped off? I can only judge that the other party is a man, and he is not young."

Bai Yu continued to ask: "Has the other party ever used drugs?"

"I must have used it." The Ninth Princess covered her head and said, "My memory is not clear, my five senses are upside down and blurry, and I can't remember anything else except those feet."

Bai Yu asked again: "Your Highness, do you recognize Huang Qiyun?"

"This name sounds familiar... Is it related to Huang Yanxia?" The Ninth Princess cast a puzzled look: "But I don't know the new sword master."

…It seems that she used a pseudonym at the time.

Bai Yu put down the healing medicine and said calmly: "Take it once a day. After drinking it, the disease should be cured."
