Chapter 501: Ran Yiyu's Method
After Zhao Yuanzhou, Zhuo Yichen and Wen Xiao returned from Zhao's residence, they saw Bai Jiu, who looked pale, and Ying Lei, who was apologizing constantly.
"What happened to Xiaojiu?"
Pei Sijing told the three people succinctly, "I vomited because of the stench of the corpse."
Zhao Yuanzhou glanced at Bai Jiu, who looked listless, and then at the large pile of food on the table. "Who ordered all this?"
Bai Jiu raised his hands tremblingly, "I have suffered so much, shouldn't I take good care of myself?"
Zhao Yuanzhou looked Bai Jiu up and down and said, "It's time to take some supplements!"
Zhao Yuanzhou ignored Bai Jiu's shocked expression and turned to Ying Lei, "Ying Lei, do you know how to cook fish?"
Although Ying Lei was puzzled, he still answered Zhao Yuanzhou's question, "There are dozens of kinds! Why, do you want to eat fish?"
After hearing what Zhao Yuanzhou said, Zhuo Yichen, Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing all looked at him curiously.
Zhao Yuanzhou poured himself a cup of tea. "Ms. Wen Xiao, did you find anything after chatting with Miss Zhao today?"
Zhuo Yichen suddenly pulled out a wedding invitation from his arms and threw it at Zhao Yuanzhou's face, "Zhao Yuanzhou! Can you first explain to me why there is your evil aura on this wedding invitation?"
Wen Xiao had already noticed something when he was at Zhao's house, but the others didn't know about it. In an instant, everyone lowered their voices. Even Bai Jiu, who had been vomiting just now, stopped vomiting and instead pricked up his ears to listen.
"What do you mean by my evil spirit? Xiao Zhuo, you know what I do every day, right?"
Can Zhao Yuanzhou admit it? Definitely not!
Zhuo Yichen snatched the wedding invitation from Zhao Yuanzhou's hand, which he wanted to destroy, and asked, "Besides you, who else carries a violent aura?"
When it comes to resentment, no one knows it better than Zhao Yuanzhou. "Xiao Zhuo, you can't say that. There are many monsters in the wilderness that use resentment to cultivate. You can't think that it's my fault just because I have resentment!"
Wen Xiao spoke up for Zhao Yuanzhou, contrary to his usual behavior. "Xiao Zhuo, it is indeed as Zhao Yuanzhou said. There are many monsters in the wilderness that use their evil spirits to cultivate, but..."
Zhao Yuanzhou was originally happy that Wen Xiao actually spoke for him, but who knew that she was actually setting a trap for him.
"but what?"
Wen Xiao glanced at Zhao Yuanzhou and saw him begging for mercy. Wen Xiao smugly pretended not to see it, "But the only monster that can walk freely between the wilderness and the human world is Zhao Yuanzhou..."
"Besides me, there are other monsters! Two years ago, the barrier of Kunlun Mountain was suddenly opened from the inside by an unknown monster. Although Grandpa Yingzhao and his men restored the barrier in time, many monsters still escaped, including one that used evil spirits to cultivate."
Zhao Yuanzhou also knew that he could no longer hide it, so he could only tell the reason why he suddenly disappeared two years ago.
Zhuo Yichen was instantly attracted by Zhao Yuanzhou's words, "So, you suddenly disappeared two years ago because the Kunlun Mountain barrier was destroyed. Did you go back to help Grandpa Yingzhao?"
Ying Lei seemed to have some memory of this incident. "I seem to have some memory of this incident. I was sneaking out of Kunlun Mountain that day to collect seasonings in the human world. On the way home, I encountered a large group of monsters running out of Kunlun Mountain."
Ying Lei was instantly furious. "Those monsters were so rude. They knocked me to the ground. Fortunately, I have thick skin, otherwise I would have been trampled to death by them! It's a pity that the precious seasonings I spent a long time searching for were trampled into the mud and can't be used anymore."
When Zhuo Yichen was young, he lived with his father in Kunlun Mountain for a period of time, and knew a little about the Kunlun Mountain barrier.
"The Kunlun Mountain barrier is extremely solid. Ordinary monsters simply don't have the strength to tear it apart, unless..."
"Unless it's a great monster from the wilderness." Zhao Yuanzhou continued Zhuo Yichen's words.
Wen Xiao took off the hairpin on his head and took out a notebook from his sleeve to record at any time. "There are not many great monsters with this ability in the Great Wilderness, but they have experienced the dark period of ancient times, and now they all stay in their birthplaces and will not go out easily."
"There are only a few of the famous Great Monsters in the Great Wilderness who can still walk around. They are Li Lun, Cheng Huang, that old immortal, Tiao Yu, and Lu Wu."
"Zhao Yuanzhou, you and Li Lun are both under the jurisdiction of the Demon Collection Division. Li Lun has always stayed by Yuan Zheng's side, and he has no need to do this."
Zhuo Yichen was not very familiar with the other three names mentioned by Zhao Yuanzhou, but Chenghuang and Luwu were mythical beasts in the eyes of humans, so he subconsciously ruled out these two monsters.
"Cheng Huang and Lu Wu wouldn't do such a thing! Then it can only be the carp you mentioned, Zhao Yuanzhou."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuanzhou disagreed, "No, I'm more inclined to believe that it was Cheng Huang who did it."
Zhuo Yichen, Bai Jiu, Pei Sijing and Wen Xiao were surprised, but Ying Lei felt it was expected.
"Why do you say that?"
"In ancient times, Cheng Huang killed many monsters and humans to save the first generation of the goddess, just to extend the life of the goddess. It is said that it was Fei's refusal to cooperate that caused the goddess to be infected with the plague. Later, when Cheng Huang's killing of monsters and humans for the goddess was exposed, the goddess took back the half of the Bai Ze Order held by Cheng Huang, and finally committed suicide to apologize. Cheng Huang disappeared later, but it is said that he has been looking for a way to revive the goddess."
Zhao Yuanzhou slowly explained why he thought it was Cheng Huang who did it.
Zhuo Yichen noticed the difference, "But what does destroying the Kunlun Mountain barrier have to do with him resurrecting the goddess?"
"Perhaps someone took advantage of Cheng Huang's desire to revive the goddess and made Cheng Huang destroy the Kunlun Mountain barrier for this purpose, or perhaps destroying the barrier was just a trick."
Zhao Yuanzhou also couldn't understand why he had to destroy the Kunlun Mountain barrier. After all, hundreds of thousands of years had passed since the immortal Cheng Huang died. If he, a baby over 30,000 years old, didn't have the murderous aura, he really couldn't defeat him.
Bai Jiu suddenly spoke up, "Weren't we just discussing Zhao Yuanzhou's wedding invitation? Why are we suddenly discussing Cheng Huang and the Goddess?"
Ying Lei also reacted, "That's right! How did the conversation go off track? Zhao Yuanzhou blames you!"
Zhuo Yichen's anger, which had originally subsided, instantly flared up again. Zhao Yuanzhou was really bitter and said, "Zhao Yuanzhou, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation for this matter, you can wait for Brother Ling to beat you into a pulp!"
Zhao Yuanzhou sent out a distress signal, but Wen Xiao said that the signal on her side was too poor to be received.
Zhao Yuanzhou sent a voice message to Wen Xiao, "Help me get through this difficult time. I'll get you the script that you couldn't buy before."
Wen Xiao had a smile on his face, but he had a thousand dirty words to say in his heart, "If you hadn't teased me at that time, how could I not have bought that storybook?"
"Don't think I don't know that you, Wen Xiao, are secretly writing the book about Xiao Zhuo and I. Xiao Zhuo has been trying to find out who wrote the book 'The Tyrannical Demon King and the Cold-Faced Concubine'."
The smile on Wen Xiao's face froze for a second, and finally he had to agree to Zhao Yuanzhou's request.
"Xiao Zhuo, we can slowly deal with the wedding invitation after we solve the bride case. The most important thing now is to catch the murderer of the bride case. The Chongwu Camp is still waiting to catch us!"
After Zhuo Yichen calmed down, he glared at Zhao Yuanzhou and put the wedding invitation on the table again. "I'll let you go this time! When the bride case is over, you have to explain to me the problem of your evil spirit on this wedding invitation!"
Zhuo Yichen turned to look at Wen Xiao, "Wen Xiao, what did you talk about with Miss Zhao today? Did you learn any news from her?"
Zhuo Yichen looked at Bai Jiu and Pei Sijing, "Master Pei, did you and Xiao Jiu find anything? Did those brides who died tragically on their wedding night really die of extreme fear as the coroner said?"
Bai Jiu loved his little brother Zhuo the most. Now that he had the chance to show off, he would never let it go. He stood up and ran to Zhuo Yichen, talking incessantly.
"Today, Sister Pei, Yinglei, Sihuan, and I went to the funeral home. There, we saw the bodies of the brides who died tragically in the Bride Case. They were all highly decomposed. Logically, these brides should have died no more than a month ago. Even if there were weather reasons, the funeral home is different from other places. It would not have been so highly decomposed."
When Bai Jiu mentioned his profession again, his eyes sparkled. "Moreover, a recent bride died only four days after we came here, but she was already rotting. All these signs show that the cause of death of these brides is definitely not extreme fear as written by the coroner."
Bai Jiu said as he took out a fish scale from the small bag he was carrying, "After a careful search, I found a fish scale on the wedding dress of one of the brides."
Zhuo Yichen reached out and took the fish scale from Bai Jiu's palm, "What kind of fish scale is this? It doesn't look like the scale of any kind of fish commonly found in the river."
Zhao Yuanzhou took the scales from Zhuo Yichen at this time, "Yinglei, have you ever eaten Ran Yi fish?"
Although Ying Lei often made mistakes, he still knew a little about some monsters in the wilderness. For example, "In the Yingdi Mountain, there are many lacquered trees on the top and gold and jade on the bottom. The birds and beasts are all white. The Hushui River flows out of it and flows north to the Lingyang Marsh. There are many fish left by Ran. It has a fish body, a snake head and six legs. Its eyes are like horse ears. Eating it will make people sick."
Zhuo Yichen looked at the small black scale in Zhao Yuanzhou's hand, "Zhao Yuanzhou, are you saying that the murderer of the bride in Liushui Town was Ran Yiyu?"
Wen Xiao was waving her hairpin and writing furiously in her notebook, "But according to what Ying Lei just said, Ran Yiyu should be just a little demon that can defend against disasters. How could he have the ability to kill the bride and not be discovered by the people of Chongwu Camp?"
Zhao Yuanzhou stretched out his fingers and shook them. "Ran Yi can make people fall into dreams, similar to weaving dreams, and make people die silently in dreams, but ordinary Ran Yi fish do not have this ability, unless the Ran Yi fish we want to catch has received some kind of gift."
Wen Xiao did not hide her desire for knowledge. "Gift? What gift?"
"Fish like Ran Yi are very stupid, and eating their meat can stop nightmares, so the residents living by the Ran Yi Fish River will catch them to eat, firstly to stop nightmares, and secondly for their ability to defend against disasters."
Zhao Yuanzhou also couldn't understand why Ran Yiyu was actually a weak monster with no attack power, otherwise it couldn't be caught and eaten, and it could only rely on powerful monsters to survive.
"It can't be possible that there is a big demon standing behind Ran Yi to support him!"
Zhuo Yichen looked at Zhao Yuanzhou, who was frowning, and said, "What are you thinking about? Now that we know who the murderer is, let's go catch him!"
Zhao Yuanzhou was gently pushed by Zhuo Yichen. When he came to his senses, he saw that everyone in the room was looking at him thoughtfully.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing, I just saw that you were distracted, and I thought you had thought of some way to play a prank on me."
"Zhao Yuanzhou, now that we know that Ran Yi is the murderer of these seven brides, we should arrest him now!"
Zhuo Yichen did what he said and grabbed the Yun Guang Sword to capture Ran Yi.
Zhao Yuanzhou pushed the man back to the chair again. "We don't know where he is. Where can we catch him?"
Wen Xiao leaned forward and asked, "Aren't all you demons able to track auras? Why can't you find Ran Yi's trail?"
Zhao Yuanzhou looked at Wen Xiao with confusion, "The one who tracked the scent was a dog! I'm not a dog!"
Wen Xiao looked at Zhao Yuanzhou with a fake smile: "Great demon!"
Pei Sijing looked out the window and continued Wen Xiao's words, "It's useless!"
Bai Jiu ate the cake in his hand and burped: "You are worse than a dog!"
Zhuo Yichen glanced at the only two demons present, "Zhao Yuanzhou, you can't even beat Ying Lei! How dare you say that you are the top demon in the Great Wilderness! Aren't you ashamed?"
Zhao Yuanzhou's eyes widened like bells. He looked at the other party in disbelief and said loudly, "There are so many monsters in the Great Wilderness. How can I remember every one of them? Moreover, the history books clearly record that Zhu Yan is proficient in thousands of magic spells!"
Ying Lei on the side didn't take it seriously and was still laughing, as if he thought Zhao Yuanzhou's reaction was very interesting. However, he didn't expect that he would be stared at by the angry Zhao Yuanzhou in the next second.
Zhao Yuanzhou pointed at Ying Lei angrily and shouted, "You're still laughing! Look at you, where have you read the books that Grandpa Ying Zhao asked you to read? You drooled over them all!"
Ying Lei's smile froze on his face instantly. He looked sad and complained to Zhuo Yichen like a wronged child: "Master Zhuo! Zhao Yuanzhou bullied me!"
Seeing this, Zhuo Yichen shook his head helplessly, then patted Yinglei's head gently and comforted him: "Okay, it's okay! Yinglei, don't be sad. Although you are not very good at studying, you are a great cook! This is also a very powerful skill!"
However, Yinglei did not feel comforted by Zhuo Yichen's words, but felt as if he was offended. He pouted and felt very uncomfortable.
Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing, who were standing aside, were trying desperately to hold back their laughter. They really couldn't help it, but were afraid that laughing out loud would hurt Ying Lei's fragile little heart, so they could only hold it back.
