Chapter 264: Alarming the State Minister
“I wonder if the murderer has been caught?”
Chu Yun asked.
The man shook his head. “He ran away. However, everyone witnessed it with their own eyes. It’s true that her husband bit her.”
“They’ve caught him.”
Another guest said, “The murderer returned by himself this morning. The people from Dali Temple were already waiting there. He was captured the moment he arrived. However, there’s something very strange.”
“How strange?” Fu Sisi asked.
The guest said, “After the lady boss’s husband, w.a.n.g San, was arrested, he strongly denied that he was the one who killed her. He even said that he went out to buy goods three days ago and only came back today.”
Fu Sisi clicked her tongue and asked, “Does he have evidence?”
The guest nodded. “The servant traveling with him said that he could testify, and so could the nearby farmers. That’s because w.a.n.g San bought goods from them.”
“That’s strange?”
Another guest frowned and said, “Everyone witnessed it with their own eyes. He was the one who bit her to death.”
“You don’t know.”
The guest looked around and lowered his voice. “Even the State Minister has been alarmed about this case.”
“What?”
Everyone was shocked. Wasn’t this just a small murder case? Why was even the State Minister alarmed?
The guest came over and said in a low voice, “I heard from a relative who works in Dali Temple that a demon came to our capital, and it could change into someone else’s appearance.”
“Demon?”
s.h.i.+ Yi chuckled. “How can that be?”
After so long, he had seen ghosts before, but he had only heard of demons in books.
“Young Master, please believe me.” The guest said, “If it wasn’t a demon, how could the State Minister be alerted?”
As Yun Ting listened, he recalled Lin Jiang saying that he saw s.h.i.+ Yi bringing wine to find Chu Sihan in the middle of the night.
He looked at Lu Sheng and asked in a low voice, “Miss Lu, is this true?”
He initially thought that it was an illusion. Now, this person said that it was a demon.
Could it be that there were demons in this world besides ghosts?
Lu Sheng nodded. “Something like that.”
s.h.i.+ Yi’s smile froze. He swallowed his saliva and asked, “Miss Lu, you’re not joking, right?”
Although ghosts were scary, he could not see them unless there was a special method.
But demons…
Just the thought of them was scary.
He also remembered Lin Jiang’s words previously and could not help but gulp.
“Young Master s.h.i.+, can you be more promising as a man?”
Seeing his fearful look, Fu Sisi could not help but complain.
Yun Ting wanted to laugh.
“Hey, Brothers.”
The guest said in a low voice, “Only the few of us know about this. Don’t spread it and cause panic.”
Fu Sisi cupped her hands at the guest and said, “Brother, don’t worry. We won’t tell anyone.”
After speaking, she turned around and looked at Yun Ting, then at Lu Sheng. She was a little curious.
She heard what Yun Ting asked Lu Sheng just now. Could it be that she knew how to catch demons?
She was about to speak when she saw Chu Sihan whispering into Lu Sheng’s ear.
Everyone tried their best to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Lu Sheng kept nodding. Her expression was initially stunned, but then became serious.
Seeing their expressions, s.h.i.+ Yi and Yun Ting could not help but become nervous.
Chu Yun stood behind Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng and did not see their expressions.
However, when he saw the atmosphere suddenly quieten, he also sensed that something was amiss.
“Brother Chu, is something big going to happen in the capital?” s.h.i.+ Yi lowered his voice and asked.
Yun Ting and Fu Sisi glanced at him before looking at Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng.
