I, the leader of the secret sect, will do great things in the infinite world!

In other words, it was an epidemic that caused starvation all over Liyue.

At that time, the healers who rescued the dying and healed the wounded got enlightenment from the raging fire: a red flame must be raised to purify all evil spirits in the world.

Burials are no longer taken, but instead cremated.

This is Liyue's earliest sacrificial ritual, and it is also the initial prototype of the Hall of Rebirth. Although the doctor also turned into a butterfly in the vermilion fire, the walking stick he used to ignite the fire was left behind and became the hall of future generations. A treasure passed down from generation to generation.

It was once the fuel wood for the fire, and it was also the torch that showed the light.

Its name is... the Staff of Goma.

It means burning, fire sacrifice, and it is used as a metaphor to burn the confused mind with the fire of wisdom, and cleanse all evil spirits and heretics with great power and great wisdom.

Among the seven gods, the alias of the god of fire in Sumeru is Agni. When the flame rises, he thinks that he has reached the mouth of the gods. Fire is regarded as the mouth of the gods, which is the origin of Liyue's "flaming mouth".

Huma has five more methods, namely: quelling disasters, increasing gains, respecting and loving, seducing, and taming. Even the Rebirth Hall has another name: "Fire Light Samadhi".

Seeing that Hu Tao's expression became serious, Ke Qing raised her hand and waved it, indicating that the situation is not that serious: "Well, I have already sent someone to invite Dr. Baishu from Bubulu, and he will take care of everything."

"Oh, Baishu." Hu Tao suddenly became loose and slumped on the chair, "So you want me to come here to identify the female corpse?"

"That's fine." Zhong Li's answer was concise and to the point, "Liyue water source is related to thousands of households, so we must pay attention to it."

Ke Qing got up and led them to the back hall, explaining as they walked: "Just now, this, uh, Mr. Li said that this female corpse might be homicide, but after soaking in the water for so long, it's hard for me to see what homicide is." Mark of......"

Before the words were finished, a stench from inside a coffin had already wafted into his nostrils.

"Wow, this smell is too bad." Yan Fei wanted to open the window, but was stopped by Ke Qing.

"I'm sorry, there are too many people outside now, so it can't be done."

"It's not mentioned in the contract, you have to pay more." Yan Fei muttered and took a few steps back, and Zhong Li smiled when he heard her words.

Even if he had never signed a contract with the "Emperor Rock King", this little fairy fulfilled the contract in this way, which is very good.

"It was indeed murder."

Without waiting for Keqing to explain, Hu Tao backed away from the coffin. She took out two gloves from her pocket, then stretched them between the white neck of the female corpse, and pointed to the clearly visible strangle mark.

Hearing this, Ke Qing couldn't help but look back at Li Lin, only to find that Li Lin maintained a stern and profound expression, and at some point came behind Yan Fei, reaching out to touch the pair of white jade-like antlers.

As if aware that Ke Qing was looking at him, Li Lin withdrew his palm without a trace, and clapped his hands lightly, making an inscrutable look.

Keqing, who witnessed the whole process, wondered if there was something wrong with her eyes.

Shen He, who was standing beside Li Lin, rolled his eyes imperceptibly.

The applause attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Oh? What's Mr. Li's opinion?" Hu Tao came closer, "I heard from Ke Qing that you were the first to find out that this corpse was murdered by him?"

"I think you made a mistake." Li Lin pushed on the non-existent black-rimmed glasses, "You are responsible for all the corpses in Liyue Port, so what about this corpse?"

Hu Tao's expression froze, and she turned to look at Zhongli: "When I'm not here... forget it, it's useless to ask you."

She is good at fishing, so isn't Zhongli good at it?This street guy who eats and goes shopping everywhere, all his money is recorded in the accounts of Xiangshengtang and Beiguo Bank.

Zhongli's expression remained unchanged, as if he wasn't the one who caused Hu Tao to disrupt the situation.

"If this woman's corpse was killed first, then it was stolen and thrown into the waterway after being sent to the Hall of Death..." Ke Qing clenched her teeth, "I will definitely bring the murderer to justice."

"That's right." The antlers on both sides of Yan Fei's head also turned slightly red, and she untied the heavy hand-written code from her side, "Because of love and law, I will not let this kind of murderer go unpunished. Severe, severe trial!"

In the serious atmosphere, continuous puff puff sounded from around Li Lin.

Although they couldn't smell it because of the stronger corpse odor, this scene alone was embarrassing enough.

"Zhongli, why did you fart?" Li Lin kept his serious expression unchanged, lowered his head and turned to look at Zhongli.

Everyone's eyes turned a few times, unable to determine who farted.

Could it really be Zhongli...?

"Master, you should go back and look for the list of the past life hall." Zhong Li, who was overwhelmed by the disturbance, was forced to change the subject.

He didn't want to argue with Li Lin about this matter, instead of facing the unscrupulous master Li, he would rather fight the vortex demon god Oser for [-] rounds.

Everyone returned to the sunny and fresh front hall again. After all, staying with a decomposed and smelly corpse really tested the mental defense.

Soon Hutao and another man with a white snake wrapped around his neck, who looked very Indian, came together.

"Hehe, I met Baizhu on the road, so we came together." Hutao shook the roster in his hand.

"Well, Miss Walnut has already told me about the matter." Bai Shu pushed his glasses and smiled gently, "This cannot be ignored, and I will do my best."

"It's so good." Zhong Li stood by the window with his hands behind his back, nodding his head in affirmation of Bai Shu's actions.

"Mr. Zhongli is here, it's really great; ah, this is Miss Yan Fei, who has been admiring me for a long time; Lord Keqing, we are old acquaintances..."

After Bai Shu came in, he cupped his fists and bowed to everyone in the room. When he came to Li Lin and Shen He's table, he was slightly taken aback.

"This lady looks familiar... look at my memory." Bai Shu smiled gently.

"Idiot, this is obviously that violent and cold-blooded girl, Bai Shu, your memory is really bad." The white snake family wrapped around his neck made a clear voice.

"Changsheng." Bai Shu scolded softly, then cupped his fists and bowed to Shen He, "Miss Shen He, I'm really sorry... Changsheng is a bit reckless."

"It's okay, I won't feel sorry for a little snake." Shen He's alienated brows and eyes did not get angry.

"Hey, who do you think is the little snake—"

Chang Sheng wanted to say something, but Bai Shu grabbed his neck.

With a somewhat apologetic smile, Bai Shu came to Li Lin: "This gentleman has a very strange face, I don't know...?"

Li Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "I'm playing with mud in the Northeast?"

185 In short, there is no martial ethics

Changsheng and Baishu looked at each other, not understanding what routine Li Lin was playing.

Seeing that Bai Shu danced without hearing the sound, Li Lin sighed in disappointment, and turned to look at Hu Tao: "Look at yours."

"I have already checked, and there is only one female corpse reported to the Shengsheng Hall recently." Hutao flipped through the black and red book in his hand, and came to the last two pages, "It is the mother of an ordinary family in Liyue Port. , called Hua Nian, but it hasn’t been sent for cremation yet.”

"Poor thing, Hua Nian has been pretending to be an ordinary adventurer just to raise her own pair of children. Her son and daughter are named Yi Zhu and Yi Xian respectively, and they are only ten years old."

"Ordinary people?"

Ke Qing walked a few steps in the hall suspiciously, then suddenly raised her head to look at Li Lin, "It shouldn't be—"

She clearly remembered that when she picked up the corpse, she was still wearing a bracelet of top-grade amber and nocturnal stone on her wrist, and the style was the limited edition of the time-honored Xingxingzhai this year...

Keqing remembered this because when she wanted to buy it, she found that the remaining three pieces of jewelry were all surrounded by condensed light. During that time, the woman had been wearing three pieces of jewelry dangling in front of her eyes.

Shaking his head, shaking off the unreasonable grievance in his heart, Master Ke pinched his eye sockets, something was about to come out.

"Can Hua Nian afford this kind of expensive jewelry?" A voice sounded like a howling wind from the window. At some point, Li Lin had already driven Zhong Li away, and he leaned against the window, his black pupils as deep as a long night , "When we went in just now, we saw the clothes on her body. Don't tell me that Liyue is already rich enough to build a well-off life in Tevat."

"Since it's not Hua Nian, then who could it be?" Keqing bit her nails, her thoughts racing rapidly, she raised her head after a while, and called the staff of the General Affairs Department, "Tumi, find out who disappeared recently, the key point is on wealthy women."

"Also, ask Xingxingzhai to provide a list of the latest limited edition jewelry purchased, in the name of Liyue Seven Stars!"

Before the order was formally implemented, a sharp cry was heard outside, followed by the sound of gongs, drums, suona, firecrackers and mourning.

An old and mournful voice sounded outside the door: "My daughter—"

Dozens of people cried in unison: "My son——"

Ke Qing's eyebrows twitched, and she only felt an unknown anger rising: "This is the General Affairs Department, how dare they come here to act wildly?!"

She had the urge to draw her sword and go out, but as Liyue Qixing, if she went out in person, it would mean losing her identity.

Fortunately, the majesty of the Department of General Affairs came into effect very quickly. Dozens of Qianyan soldiers came here and quickly took away and detained those who illegally set off fireworks and firecrackers in the city, burned paper money, and cried for mourning. Chiayi took a body The old man in cloud satin walked in.

"Lord Keqing, I have neglected my duty." Chiayi said in a low voice, "While maintaining order, someone suddenly organized an attack on the defense line, and without investigating for a while, let them rush over..."

Speaking of this, Jiayi's eyes became sharper, and he gave the old man with a sad face next to him a hard look: "Master Keqing, do you want to put him in the prison as well?"

"Take me to jail? Okay!" The old man burst into fits instantly when he heard the words, and sat down on the ground and started howling, "My wife is dead, my daughter is dead, it doesn't matter, you bastard will kill my De'an Pick it up together!"

Keqing looked around helplessly and made a gesture to Jiayi to take Mr. De'an down.

There's no way, she can't stand this kind of half-destroyed old man acting like a monster.

"Wait a minute." Li Lin said suddenly.

Chiayi looked at Keqing in confusion, then at Li Lin, seeing that Keqing had no objection, he took Mr. De'an back to the hall.

......

When Duke De'an returned to the hall under the leadership of Qianyan Army, the atmosphere changed suddenly.

On the grand master's chair on the left, Hu Tao, the young hall master of the Hall of Rebirth, flipped through the roster in his hand boredly, with two long white legs overlapping each other, which was extremely dazzling.

Beside her, Zhong Li, who couldn't tell the exact age, was wearing a beautiful jade on his waist, and was sipping a cup of black tea with an extraordinary demeanor.

After calming down, Mr. De'an's heart skipped a beat: the former took over Hu Tao, the funeral leader of the entire Liyue Port at a young age; Zhongli, a well-respected guest from all walks of life in Hong Kong...

When he moved his eyes to the side, he even broke out in a cold sweat unconsciously.

In the armchair on the right, Yan Fei, the most prestigious lawyer in Liyue Port, is gesturing with a simple and simple weighing scale. The weighing scale, which is said to be bestowed by the Emperor Yan Wang, is hanging in the air, emitting a faint light.

Among the two chairs near the center of the hall, the one on the left sat a woman with white hair and estranged eyebrows, who looked very similar to the fairy in the legend; Yuheng star engraved clear.

Behind them, Physician Baishu from Bubulu was playing with the little white snake wrapped around his neck.

Each of them is a well-known person in Liyue Port. To put it bluntly, when these people gather together, they can determine the future development direction of the entire Liyue!

Mr. De'an regretted it very much at this moment: Why was he fooled by the group of debtors of Beiguo Bank to come to the General Affairs Department to make a fuss?

These people were like stars over the moon, surrounding a figure wearing a black windbreaker and a black top hat. That was a young man with unusually fair skin and eyes as deep as the endless dark night.

"Mr. De'an...is that right? Is your biological father or mother dead?"

Ke Qing, who was sitting next to Li Lin and supporting him on the stage, had a wonderful expression on his face. Mr. De'an was half buried in the earth, and his parents must have been turned into ashes in the Hall of Rebirth.

"Ah... ah? The little old man's parents died long ago, no, no, the little old man didn't die of his parents, eh, that's not right either."

Mr. De'an suddenly found that his taste changed a little bit.

"So it was your daughter who died." Li Lin said lightly, with unquestionable certainty in his tone.

"Yes, yes! My lord's enlightenment!" Mr. De'an, who was confused by Li Lin, completely forgot the fact that he was the one who came to mourn, and bowed down under Li Lin's insane power, "My daughter... .”

"Simple." Li Lin's eyes were stern. "I'll be able to psychic later and summon your daughter's undead. You go down first."

"Psychic—" Mr. De'an was like a duck being strangled, and then realized that the Master of the Past Life Hall hadn't raised any objections, and a flash of relief flashed in his eyes, "Yes, yes."

The stubborn little old man knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Li Lin silently, and then followed Jiayi out.

As soon as Mr. De'an walked away, Li Lin, who was sitting upright, slowly slid down, and after a while, he collapsed on the chair into a puddle of soft slime.

Seeing Li Lin collapsing at the head, Hu Tao let out a chuckle, and also collapsed in a similar manner. The originally dignified air instantly became cheerful and giggling, and even Zhong Li showed a subtle smile, except for Shen He. Still a Sima face.

"It turned out to be Duke De'an's daughter. She was quite famous a while ago." Ke Qing let out a sigh of relief and shook her head.

"Oh, I have participated in this matter, but as a legal consultant." Yan Fei probed her head from the side, and the two white antlers on her forehead were dangling, which attracted Li Lin to try to reach out, "Flower Miss Chu fell in love with a poor schoolteacher, Mr. De'an wanted to break up the marriage, but Hua Chu refused, so she quietly disappeared one night, and now it looks like she fell into a well."

"Where is the teacher?" Keqing asked with a frown.

"The teacher's name is Jianqiu." Yan Fei put down the legal code at hand, took a sip of tea from the table, "I usually teach the children who eat Huyan, and sometimes I copy books for others to make some money. Fei. After Hua Chu committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, she also left Liyue Port."

Ke Qing shook her head and said nothing, obviously contemptuous of such irresponsible men.

The young lady fell in love with you and committed suicide by throwing herself into a well. Not only did you fail to stop her from doing stupid things, but you ran away faster than anyone else... You can only be called a delicate Liyue man.

"It shouldn't be." Hu Tao lay on the table in front of her, playing with the snot ghost who came out of nowhere, "If Hua Chu committed suicide by throwing herself into a well—what about the blood on her neck?"

It's impossible to hang yourself first and then be thrown into the well...?

Amidst everyone's doubts, Li Lin stood up suddenly, and his voice was impassioned: "The corpse must not have gone far, chase me!"

186 It’s raining in Liyue

"You want to say that the murderer hasn't gone far yet... right?" Ke Qing asked with a trembling voice while suppressing her laughter in great pain.

"That's it, that's it!" Li Lin nodded and shook his head.

"So, no matter whether this corpse is Huachu or not, there is one key person who cannot get around, and that is her lover, the former teacher Jianqiu—" Ke Qing patted the table, "Immediately in the name of the General Affairs Department Issue a reward order, and Quan Liyue hunts down the suspect, Jianqiu!"

Suspected of murder for money, and then intentionally throwing the corpse into the waterway of Chihuyan and Feiyunpo after the murder, polluting the water source, it is even more crime!

Whether he does it intentionally or not, he cannot escape at least a life sentence.
