Taikoo Lingxiao Jue

Chapter 885 The Empty Coffin

……

Bai Pengfei was unstable and staggered to sit on the sofa behind him.

Immediately, Bai Pengfei, who was originally a little irritable, quieted down, like a frightened animal, not daring to do anything to Lin Yi again.

"It seems that Mr. Bai knows a lot about Qinghe, so please tell me what you know next." Lin Yi said coldly with his eyes slightly cold.

Bai Pengfei's reaction already explained everything, so what Bai Xuan said before is not impossible.

Lin Yi suddenly felt extremely curious, what exactly did Bai Pengfei know?
"I……"

Bai Pengfei hesitated, hesitant to speak, as if he didn't know what to say.

Lin Yi said indifferently: "Mr. Bai, your daughter's situation is very dangerous. To tell you the truth, she has been attacked by evil things twice recently. Those evil things did not take her life each time, but they kept killing her. The intimidation, if things go on like this, may cause mental damage.”

"So, I need you to tell what you know. Of course, if you are responsible for all these conspiracies, then there is no need to say it." Lin Yi's voice suddenly became cold when he said this .

Hearing this, Bai Pengfei's expression changed, and he finally sighed, and said slowly: "Ten years ago, my best friend and I found a treasure box near the Qinghe ruins. The treasure box has a mysterious origin and is very old. My friend mentioned Come out and sell the treasure box, and the price will be shared equally between the two."

"But I had a hot head at the time..."

Speaking of this, Bai Pengfei paused.

Lin Yi said indifferently: "Did you kill him?"

"No, I didn't kill anyone. I just knocked him unconscious and stole the treasure box." Bai Pengfei said in horror, "But who knew, the next morning, my friend hanged himself, and it was in one of my villas In front of the door!"

Lin Yi frowned suspiciously when he heard this: "Ten years ago, your net worth was already quite a lot, right? Why are you still coveting this small amount of money?"

"I, I'm not greedy for money, but... I simply think that the treasure box is very beautiful, and I want to keep it for myself." Bai Pengfei said, "But who would have thought that my friend hanged himself, and I checked it later. After reading the information, I realized that Qinghe is a cursed place, and that treasure box is even more ominous."

"The reason why my friend committed suicide must have something to do with that treasure box, so I buried him generously and buried the treasure box together. After that... I was a little scared and asked someone to clear up all news about Qinghe."

"You, how do you know about Qing He?"

"In that case, it's very likely that your friend's lingering spirit is causing trouble?" Lin Yi didn't answer Bai Pengfei's question, but narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

Now, everything seems to be clear.

Because of his selfish desire, Bai Pengfei knocked out his friend and tried to take the treasure box for himself. However, the next day, a strange thing happened, and his friend hanged himself in front of his villa.

Because Bai Pengfei was afraid of being implicated, he hurriedly buried that friend generously, and buried the treasure box with him.

Now it seems that the friend who is most suspicious is Bai Pengfei.

Although the person is dead, Lin Yi believes in the theory that the ghosts linger, and there are rumors about Qinghe, so Lin Yi believes that it is Bai Pengfei's friend who is causing the trouble.

Of course, it is also possible that the descendants of Bai Pengfei's friend will take revenge, but this speculation is a little untenable, after all, no ordinary people can control Yin spirits.

However, any doubts cannot be ignored.

So Lin Yi ordered Bai Pengfei to investigate the situation of his friend's descendants, and he asked Bai Pengfei to take him to that friend's cemetery.

Bai Pengfei agreed, and then the two went out. Bai Xuan was waiting outside the door. When she came out, she found that her father's face was very ugly, so she asked, "What's wrong with you? We didn't have a pleasant conversation?"

Bai Pengfei forced a smile: "No, no, I have something to do with Mr. Lin, you wait here."

"I'm going too!" Bai Xuan said immediately after hearing the words.

"No, you can't go, wait here." Lin Yi said firmly.

Seeing the serious look on Lin Yi's face, Bai Xuan immediately became honest. For some reason, she was afraid of Lin Yi.

The roles between the two seemed to be reversed, and she became the bodyguard who was ordered by others.

"Alright then." Bai Xuan nodded helplessly.

Immediately, Lin Yi and Bai Pengfei set off, and their destination was the graveyard of Bai Pengfei's friend.

On the way, Bai Pengfei gave details about his friend and the treasure box.

His friend, named Jiang Liqin, was not his business partner, but a like-minded confidant. He was three years older than Bai Pengfei. The two met at a business banquet and later became very good friends.

Jiang Liqin is not a businessman, so his wealth is not as good as Bai Pengfei, so he will propose to sell the treasure box after he finds it.

As for the treasure box, Bai Pengfei said it was made of a strange wood, with exquisite and unique shape, and there were many Sanskrit characters on it, which was found at the bottom of Qinghe River.

After mastering the information, Lin Yi and the others came to the cemetery, and Lin Yi said to Bai Pengfei, "Open the tomb."

"I want to confirm whether your friend is still inside."

"How could he not be here? I come back every year to pay homage to him. If there is any problem, I would have discovered it long ago." Bai Pengfei said.

"Hehe, some problems won't appear on the surface, so it's better to open them." Lin Yi said lightly.

"Alright then." Bai Pengfei nodded helplessly.

Originally, Jiang Liqin's death was a knot in his heart, but now he wanted to open his tomb. Although he felt very sorry, in order to find out who was responsible for attacking his daughter repeatedly, Bai Pengfei had to listen to Lin Yi.

He directly ordered his subordinates to open the tomb.

It took a long time before the tomb was opened, and then the coffin was opened. However, when the coffin was opened, Bai Pengfei was dumbfounded.

The coffin was empty, Jiang Liqin's body was gone, and the treasure box was also gone!

However, for more than ten years, there has been no change in this tomb, and Bai Pengfei was shocked.

At the beginning, he witnessed Jiang Liqin's burial with his own eyes, but now, Jiang Liqin's body is not in the coffin, and even the treasure box buried with him has disappeared.

"Let me just say, it seems that Bai Xuan is constantly being attacked by ghosts, and it's probably because of your 'friend'." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Is... is he still alive?" Bai Pengfei looked at the empty coffin in front of him, and couldn't help asking, his expression seemed a little abnormal.

"It's hard to say the whole thing, but whether it's life or death doesn't seem to matter that much." Lin Yi replied.
