Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Li Lianhua looked at the reflection in the lake with extremely deep eyes.

Behind him, a group of scholars looked at the body that had just been fished out of the water with trembling eyes, commenting and talking about it.

Zhu Shuyao dressed up as a man and looked at the corpse that she had salvaged with her own hands just now using the Zhu family's secret treasure hunting method, and whispered to Li Lianhua:

"This person is beyond recognition and his body is swollen. I'm afraid he can no longer be easily identified."

Li Lianhua shook her head and said softly: "Not necessarily."

Just a quarter of an hour ago, Zhu Shuyao, who was walking by the lake, accidentally slipped and almost fell into the lake.

Li Lianhua had quick eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed the opponent's hand, which prevented the opponent from falling into the lake and revealing her daughter's body in public.

Zhu Shuyao took the opportunity to exclaim and hid in the other party's arms.

Li Lianhua didn't hide!
Seeing this scene, the matchmaker was overjoyed. His matchmaker plan, which had been implemented for a long time, actually worked.

Li Lianhua's slender head has finally come to its senses.

So, he quickly used Qinggong to leave this place where literati like to gather together to enjoy the scenery and recite poems, and went to Li Mansion to report the first-hand news he had seen to Li Lianpeng, who was not optimistic about him.

However, it was precisely because of this that he missed the subsequent plot.

The reason why Li Lianhua didn't reject Zhu Shuyao's embrace immediately was because he saw something hidden at the bottom of the lake.

a corpse.

Zhu Shuyao no longer had her previous thoughts at this time, but frowned and asked, "What did you find?"

Li Lianhua nodded,

"This person should be a young woman. When you fished her out just now, she had a butterfly-shaped tattoo on the back of her neck, which disappeared in a flash. Only women in brothels have such tattoos."

Zhu Shuyao looked strange, "Master Li observes carefully."

"..."

Li Lianhua was dumbfounded, knowing that she had been misunderstood, and quickly waved her hands and said with a smile: "I hope you don't misunderstand me, Miss. I heard this from hearsay. Today is the first time I've met her."

Who would stare at the back of a girl's neck if they had nothing to do, the only ones who visit the brothels and talk to the girls sincerely are the regulars.

Li Lianhua has a good memory and usually never forgets what she has heard.

This is the key to his part-time job as a detective and repeatedly solving strange cases.

The knowledge is broad enough and the observation is detailed enough.

This time I came to Slender West Lake because Li Lianhua recently heard a rumor in the world, saying that a young woman has been missing inexplicably near Slender West Lake for nearly half a month.

The missing women, without exception, are all young and beautiful.

Li Lianhua had nothing to do, so she decided to come here in person to see if she could help those people.

Just before setting off, he ran into Fang Duobing. This young man also had nothing to do. Hearing that Li Lianhua was going to Slender West Lake to enjoy the scenery, he took the opportunity to ask Zhu Shuyao, who was about to retreat, to follow him and accompany Li Lianhua to enjoy the spring scenery by the lake.

In early March, Yangzhou was full of willows and spring.

It was a good time for him to use his skills to connect Zhu Shuyao and Li Lianhua.

While the two were talking, one of the scholars suddenly exclaimed again, pointed to the edge of the lake, and said:
"Look, what's over there?!"

Li Lianhua turned her head subconsciously and narrowed her eyes.

Another body was floating on the lake a few feet away from the shore!
Li Lianhua looked at Zhu Shuyao seriously.

Zhu Shuyao understood immediately and ignored Li Lianhua's visit to the brothel. She turned around and faced the lake, stretched out her arms, and two silver threads shot out, pointing directly at the lake.

This is a secret jade-picking technique practiced by her Zhu family.

Jade pickers of the Zhu family usually install a delicate mechanism on their wrists to train their wrist strength and accuracy since childhood, and can mine under water. It is a special mining tool, which is divided into iron chisels, gold chisels and jade chisels.

The jade chisel on Zhu Shuyao's wrist was inherited from his father.

It is said that this pair of kodama chisels were cast by a famous craftsman 300 years ago and are worth tens of thousands of gold!
Only the head of the Zhu family is worthy of inheritance.

As for the iron chisels and gold chisels, they were only modified by a craftsman based on the pair of kodama chisels based on the needs of jade mining.

As Zhu Shuyao took action, the readers' eyes widened. When they fished out the first corpse, they didn't see it clearly. They only knew that this young man who looked thin had mysterious methods and he looked like a gangster at first glance.

At this time, Zhu Shuyao used this secret technique again, and they were suddenly surprised.

However, soon, his attention was attracted by the female corpse coming from the lake.

This newly recovered corpse still looks very new.

It must have been thrown into the lake not long ago, and the facial features can still be clearly seen.

She was dressed in white and had long black hair.

Judging from his age, he is no older than that.

This is a girl!
"damned!"

"Who on earth is so vicious that he can kill such a girl!"

"Reporter, report officer quickly! We must arrest the murderer!"

As the onlookers were talking to each other, a young man in green clothes got the order and ran towards the outside of the lake.

Li Lianhua looked at the newly retrieved body and fell into deep thought.

Why did the body rise from the bottom of the lake today?

No one noticed it a few days ago?
It shouldn't be, there are always scholars by this lake.

He also inquired and found out that those families whose relatives were missing had reported to the government a long time ago, and the government officials had sent people to the lake to salvage them.

Even the Supervision Department responsible for the Slender West Lake area also sent people to participate.

But without exception, after many days of searching, nothing was found.

Why did these corpses suddenly emerge from the bottom of the lake when he arrived today?

Is it a coincidence, or did someone do it on purpose?

At this moment, a small commotion broke out among the surrounding crowd.

"Give way."

"Who is Your Excellency?"

"Don't squeeze..."

"Give it up, let it go."

Zhu Shuyao turned around and saw Li Lianpeng in a white shirt, arrogantly pushing through the crowd and walking in.

Behind him, there were six teenagers.

They are all dressed in white.

"It's from Luo'an Villa!"

"Rewind, rewind..."

"The leader should be Li Lianpeng, right?"

"It should be him... keep your voice down..."

Li Lianpeng turned a deaf ear to the comments behind him and walked straight to Li Lianhua and Zhu Shuyao. He looked down at the two female corpses lying side by side and raised his eyebrows.
"Li Lianhua, what are you two doing?"

Li Lianhua said: "As brother has seen, these two women should be related to the disappearance case I told you yesterday. There are 36 women in total. No one is seen alive and no body is found dead. These two corpses should be One of those 36 people.”

"Tsk..." Li Lianpeng frowned, "So, the remaining 36 women are probably in danger as well?"

Li Lianhua shook her head slightly, "Not necessarily."

He pointed to a recently salvaged body and said:
"There are no obvious external injuries on this corpse, but if you look at her palm, there is a pattern there."

Li Lianpeng is now different from what he used to be. He can face the corpse without changing his expression.

He used his true energy to open the palm of the female corpse, and sure enough, he saw a circular pattern on her palm. (End of chapter)
