Chapter 1056 The Murderer
There was a kind of water spirit that needed to find a subst.i.tute. Without a subst.i.tute, they would be stuck at the bottom of the water and would not be able to get ash.o.r.e. The one before her should be like that.
When the water spirit saw her clothes and the aura that she was emitting, its heart constricted and it could not help but become nervous. “I did not! I know that it is not good to use someone as a subst.i.tute! “I’m also very pitiful. I lost my footing and fell into the lake. It’s been so many years, but I still have no way of escaping. It’s also the heavens that pity me. In a place like this, there’s actually someone who would kill someone. That’s why I got lucky!” As he said that, the ghoul rubbed his hands together. He was both terrified and happy.
“You just came ash.o.r.e. Do you have any plans?” When Xie Qiao saw him like this, her tone became much gentler.
The ghoul in front of her thought for a moment. “I don’t know either. Someone has become my subst.i.tute. I should be able to reincarnate in seven days. I’m going to visit my family first. I’ll leave after I’m done.”
Xie Qiao looked at his situation carefully.
After finding his subst.i.tute, he did not have any lingering resentment. It was indeed possible for him to be reincarnated.
Xie Qiao took out a talisman from her embrace and struck it on his body. “This talisman is used to nourish the soul. It’s to prevent you from accidentally injuring your soul during these seven days.”
When the ghoul heard that, he was very happy. “Thank you, Master!”
“There’s one more thing I want to ask you.” Xie Qiao was much more polite. “How exactly did your subst.i.tute die? Do you know?”
“I know, Master!” The water spirit immediately nodded. “He was pushed and drowned! I saw that person too. He was at that pavilion over there! It was a man, very young. At that time, the two of them were standing by the lake and talking. I heard it very clearly.”
“Can you tell me what they said?” Xie Qiao asked.
“Of course!” The ghoul immediately nodded. “I don’t like that man who harmed him. I should have caught him earlier!
Jam
“I was buried under the water to watch the show. Later, I heard from those people that there was a painting in which a man and a young lady looked very compatible, so I swam over to have a look. I just came over, and the man and young lady were about to leave. However, the young lady left first, and the man said that he saw an acquaintance and stayed.
“After the young lady left, someone came over. At first, the two of them talked calmly, but as they chatted, the man said some unpleasant words…”
The ghoul seemed to be a little shy and found it difficult to speak.
However, looking at the dead body on the ground, he thought that the other party was his subst.i.tute and could be considered his benefactor, so he could not hide it and not tell the truth.
“What I know is that the man claimed to be the young lady’s cousin. He was talking about how close he was to the young lady, and he also said that the two families wanted to be closer to each other when they were young. After hearing those words, my subst.i.tute’s mood became bad.
“Later on, when my subst.i.tute was not paying attention, he pushed him. He was still struggling, but the cousin said that he already had intimacy with the young lady. He also said that the reason why the young lady invited him out today was to cut off all ties with him. However, seeing how pitiful he was, he couldn’t say anything. The cousin even took out a hairpin and said with a vicious expression that a person like him should die, why drag others down with him? If it wasn’t for the fact that he was pitiful, his cousin wouldn’t have given him another look no matter what…”
“A person like him? What does that mean? Does Fu Hanwen have any flaws?” Xie Qiao did not notice it earlier.
“It seems like his hand isn’t very good. When he struggled, he could have climbed up, but I saw that his hand did not seem to have any strength. After grabbing for a long time, he still couldn’t grab anything. When he heard what the man said and saw the hairpin, he simply stopped struggling and sank.”
