Hearing that the case was solved, Lord Lu was very happy and rushed to the prison in person.

"The case has been solved? Who is the murderer?" Lord Lu can't wait to know the answer.

"We are not from Central Plains." Luo Jun shook his head. "Our words are unfounded, but we still have to go to Southern Borderlands to speak with evidence."

"Okay, okay!" Lord Lu immediately sent someone to prepare a sedan. This was a major case related to Yunzhou City's stability, and he also wanted to go to the scene to bear witness.

Of course, when Mr. Governor wants to go to Southern Borderlands's territory, he still has to send someone to say hello first, and then prepare enough officers and soldiers to protect him. In the afternoon, a group of people came to the Council Hall in Southern Borderlands area.

At this time, Fifth Elder was leading people to greet him at the door. Lord Lu ordered officers and soldiers to wait outside the door. He led his entourage and several people from the Hundred Rivers Sect to the backyard of the Council Hall.

"Did you really solve the case?" Fifth Elder asked with concern, "Who is the murderer?"

Luo Jun didn't show off, and pointed directly at the side house. "The murderer is Great Shaman's newly married wife!"

"This is impossible!" Fifth Elder immediately objected. "Many people saw it with their own eyes at that time. The murderer planned to molest the bride. How could it be one person?"

Luo Jun snorted coldly, "What if the murderer you saw is not a human being, but an evil thing summoned by the bride?"

"Hair?" Fifth Elder picked up the split hair, "Whose is this?"

Luo Jun unfolded the silk handkerchief. "This silk handkerchief was originally clean, but after it was scratched on Great Shaman's face, there were some red marks. Can you tell what they are?"

"Eh? That's mine?" Liu Si couldn't help shouting, and Ling Xin looked back at her.

"If it's just a blood abnormality, we don't rule out the possibility." Luo Jun came to the bedside. "But I have other evidence."

Immediately, two Southern Borderlands people came forward to operate. Taking advantage of this moment, Fifth Elder questioned, "Even if you are right, it doesn't prove that the bride is the murderer, right? Can't it be the murderer who rushed in and used the blood to cast a spell to escape?"

"The evidence is at the crime scene!" Everyone followed Luo Jun to the new house, and the blood stains on the ground were still there.

"It belongs to Great Shaman. You can compare it with Great Shaman's corpse." Luo Jun also picked up one. "And there are more than one on the bed, there are many. This shows that Great Shaman once lay on this bed before he died, but the bride said that Great Shaman lay on the ground when she came in, and was then assassinated by the murderer who rushed in. This is obviously a lie!"

"Of course not." Luo Jun said confidently, reaching into his arms and taking out a silk handkerchief.

Luo Jun nodded, but heard Sanji say from the side, "Then do you have any evidence?"

"The blood on the ground actually comes from two people. Part of it belongs to Great Shaman, and the other part is the medium used to cast spells." Luo Jun pointed at the splattered blood stains around him and said, "You Southern Borderlands, you should have the technology to distinguish blood, right?"

"Come here!" Fifth Elder ordered, "Bring me the bride!"

Tie Jingang and Liu Si looked at Luo Jun with a little nervousness in their eyes, while Ling Xin faintly took a step forward and stood beside Luo Jun.

"So the murderer is not a human!" Fifth Elder also understood. "It didn't escape, but disappeared?"

"Fifth Elder may not have the impression, but Sanji should remember it, right?" Luo Jun shook the silk handkerchief. "Yesterday in the morgue, when I was wiping my sweat, the silk handkerchief was accidentally blown away by the wind and happened to cover Great Shaman's face. At that time, Sanji snatched it away and warned me to pay attention."

With that said, he came to the bed. "Fifth Elder, what do you think this is?"

Fifth Elder frowned. "Come here, take some blood stains for examination!"

"This..." Fifth Elder frowned, and Lord Lu on the side helped. "Even if it is not irrefutable evidence, this bride is very suspicious and must be investigated!"

Fifth Elder took it and studied it, then handed it to Sanji, who also shook his head.

Fifth Elder looked at Sanji, who nodded. "It is true."

"Evil object?" Fifth Elder was stunned, but then heard Luo Jun say, "You have never thought about how someone can disappear without a trace surrounded by many Southern Borderlands masters. If he really has such ability, why would he bother to do the assassination?"

The two Southern Borderlands Warrior took the order and left. Fifth Elder looked at Luo Jun and said in a bad tone, "The bride is indeed suspicious, but in the panic, it is not impossible that she remembered it wrong. Just a few hairs are not ironclad evidence. You brought Master Governor here, isn't it just to say this?"

Luo Jun smiled and said, "Men probably don't know, why not let women see."

Fifth Elder called a maid and handed him the silk handkerchief. The girl looked at it and said, "It looks like rouge for women... It should be lipstick..."

"Why is there lipstick on Great Shaman's face?" Fifth Elder frowned, but Luo Jun said, "I guess it's not on the face, but on the mouth!"

"You mean..." Fifth Elder frowned.

"Great Shaman shouldn't catch anyone kissing whom on their wedding night, right?" Luo Jun spread his hands. "I'm afraid the only one who can leave lipstick on his lips is the bride. Even if Great Shaman may have misremembered whether he lay on the bed after entering the house, then kissing is so exciting, so the impression should be very deep, right?"

"It... makes sense!" Lord Lu supported. "There is no reason why we can't remember this kind of thing!"

Fifth Elder frowned. "I still don't understand. Even if the bride is the murderer, why should she hide the kiss?"

Luo Jun smiled slightly, "Luo Yue Poison was discovered yesterday. I wonder if Fifth Elder has found its source?"

"No... Great Shaman has checked all the tableware and chopsticks used..." Fifth Elder was stunned. "Why do you ask this?"

"Then let's check this." Luo Jun picked up the silk handkerchief. "There should be toxins on this red seal, and the concentration is very high!"

"You mean..." Fifth Elder's eyes widened. "The bride fed this poison to Great Shaman with her mouth?"

"It's very possible!" Luo Jun nodded.

While talking, the bride had been taken to the scene of the crime, and she smiled at Luo Jun as soon as she appeared.

Luo Jun felt a chill for no reason...Killing Intent! But it wasn't from the bride opposite, but...

He turned to look at Ling Xin beside him and found that there was a faint golden light flashing on her fingertips.

She discovered that the bride was Polluter? Luo Jun just didn't know what to say, but Ling Xin recognized it at a glance. She couldn't help but admire her. After all, she was a member of the Ling Family clan, and she had good eyesight!

"Hey, there are so many people? Why did you call me here?" The bride no longer looked as pitiful as yesterday, with a smile on her face. She was obviously ready to let herself go.

"Great Shaman's body is still cold, how can you behave like a playful smile here!" Fifth Elder angrily said, "Let me ask you, on the night when Great Shaman was assassinated, did he go to bed? Did he kiss you?"

"Oh, Fifth Elder..." the bride said with a reproachful look on her face, "You are so old, how can you ask such an intimate question, how can I have the nerve to answer it..."

"Stop pretending to me!" Fifth Elder slapped the table. "Did you inject Great Shaman's poison?"

"Great Shaman was poisoned?" The bride pretended to be surprised. "Wasn't he assassinated? How come he was poisoned instead?"

The bride's behavior made Fifth Elder even more convinced that there was something wrong with her. He immediately ordered his attendants to escort her to Great Shaman's funeral.

After inspection, it was found that there was indeed lipstick on Great Shaman's lips, and it contained a high concentration of Luo Yue Poison... Under the irrefutable evidence, the bride could no longer defend herself.

"What else do you have to say?" Fifth Elder snorted coldly, "Come here, feed her Heartbreak Gu! I want her to tell you the motives and process of murdering Great Shaman!"

But who would have expected that the bride smiled slightly, and a dazzling energy suddenly rose from her body. The two Southern Borderlands Warrior who had just been escorting her were suddenly knocked away, vomiting blood.

Seeing this, Fifth Elder's body was filled with aura. He swung his cane, pulled out a sharp long knife, and slashed at the bride. However, the bride was very flexible, like a fish swimming in the water, with elegant and graceful movements. She easily dodged Fifth Elder's attack. When she raised her hand, there was only a bang, which actually dispersed most of the aura on Fifth Elder's body and knocked her back.

"This bride is actually such a master!" Seeing this, Tie Jingang protected Luo Jun behind him, and Ling Xin also condensed a golden blade on his hand.

"She is not a bride at all!" Luo Jun shouted, "The real bride, the A Li, was killed and replaced on the wedding night. Her purpose was to assassinate Great Shaman. The extra pool of blood in the room should be the corpse of the bride she sacrificed to summon evil things!"

"This witch!" Fifth Elder was furious after hearing this. "Not only did she kill Great Shaman, she also killed A Li? Come together and take her down for me. I must find out who is the mastermind behind her!"

As for the bride, after hearing what Luo Jun said, she glanced at him in surprise, and then a smile appeared on her face.

Seeing numerous Southern Borderlands Warriors besieging them, the bride didn't panic. She swayed her body without making any movements, and easily bypassed them and went straight to Luo Juns!

"Get behind me!" Tie Jingang thought she had been exposed and was furious to take revenge on Luo Jun. He quickly took out an ax and blocked it in front of Luo Jun. The bride flicked her red sleeves., an invisible force hit Tie Jingang, Tie Jingang raised the ax to resist, only to feel a strange force passed along the handle of the ax to his hands, making his whole body surge with energy, and he could hardly control it!

What a powerful method!

Tie Jingang was horrified, but with years of solid cultivation, he still grasped the handle of the axe, exerted all his strength, and shook off the strange force!

Seeing that this trick didn't work, the bride also said "Hey" in surprise. At this moment, a golden light came.

The bride's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she waved her sleeves to block it, but she didn't expect that the golden light was far sharper than she imagined. The rotating red sleeves were chopped into pieces in an instant, and the golden light continued unabated, heading straight for her throat, threatening to chop off her head!

The bride dodged the golden light, but before she could stand firm, the second and third golden light came, giving her no time to breathe.

"What an amazing little girl!" The bride noticed that the girl with golden light was a long-haired girl. She had not seen her yesterday. Today, she was guarding the interesting boy. The look in her eyes... was even sharper than the golden light!

The bride sneered and retreated to avoid the golden light. Seeing that others were also attacking her, she jumped up to the roof, raised her hand and tore off a piece of Human Skin Mask, revealing her beautiful face.

She has willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, a straight nose, and a sparkling smile. She is beautiful and charming, giving people the feeling of a fox.

"Good boy, if you catch me today, this matter is not over. Just wait, we will meet again sooner or later!" After saying that, she waved her sleeves and turned into a red mist and disappeared on the roof.

"Chase!" Fifth Elder calmed down Inner Breath, waving the long knife and roaring:

"You must catch this witch back to me!"
