"Master, don't you think Shi Shaojian's aura is a bit strange?"
I suspect he's not human.
Seeing that they had already gone halfway, Lin Yu finally spoke up and asked Uncle Nine a question.
Lin Yu had carefully examined Shi Shaojian when he came out.
Although Shi Jian's protection was excellent, Lin Yu's perception, guided by the third eye on his forehead, had become extraordinary.
Lin Yu sensed multiple auras mixed together on Shi Shaojian: the aura of corpses, the aura of demons, and even the aura of the group of people who had just died in the town.
Although Lin Yu really wanted to tell Uncle Nine the truth, Shi Jian and Shi Shaojian were the murderers in this case.
However, considering that he had no evidence, and that Shi Jian was Uncle Nine's senior brother, whose prestige had been built up over the years, it was even more likely that Uncle Nine would not believe him.
Therefore, Lin Yu guided Uncle Nine step by step to discover the cruel methods behind Shi Jian's actions, letting Uncle Nine guess for himself.
Actually, Lin Yu didn't intend to kill Shi Shaojian at first; he just wanted to teach him a lesson.
Judging from Shi Shaojian's practiced movements as he stole the girl's hair, you could tell he'd done this kind of thing many times.
Lin Yu hadn't seen it before, so it was fine, but this happened right under his nose, and for that pork chop alone, he wouldn't just sit idly by.
So he gave Mary a Protection Talisman that granted her a little bit of retaliatory power.
In Lin Yu's perception, Shi Shaojian was at the same Dharma Master Realm. This little trick was enough to drive him away without causing any harm.
Who would have thought that Shi Shaojian's so-called "Dharma Master Realm" was just a facade, his cultivation level so superficial?
The Yin Spirit was as fragile as paper; it almost disintegrated after being flicked by the Protection Talisman.
That's why Lin Yu was so shocked when he saw that Qian Family Town, just like in the original story, had so many people who died on unlucky days and times.
How could you, Shi Shaojian, die like that? I hadn't even done anything yet!
Although his actions led to the deaths of so many people, Lin Yu could only silently recite the Rebirth Sutra for them and wish them a better rebirth in their next life.
Yes, you all have your grievances and your debts to settle. You were all killed by Shi Jian, so go and seek revenge on Shi Jian.
"Yes, there is a bit of that. I'll have your senior brother confirm it later."
After hearing this, Uncle Nine put his hands behind his back, frowned, and pondered for a while.
Actually, he didn't see anything wrong with Shi Shaojian, but since Lin Yu said there was a problem, he might as well test him.
After all these times, Lin Yu has never made a mistake.
"Junior brother, do you think the murderer is our eldest master?"
At this moment, Jia Le secretly tugged at Lin Yu's clothes from behind and whispered something furtively in Lin Yu's ear.
Why do you think that?
Lin Yu glanced at Jia Le with surprise.
He never expected that Jia Le, who was usually dull-witted, would think of this at such a crucial moment.
"Look, the only people around here are my senior uncle and my eldest senior uncle, but my senior uncle is always at the mortuary and can't possibly go out to kill people, so it can only be my eldest senior uncle."
"Plus what Shi Shaojian just said, isn't it obvious?"
Jia Le became more and more certain as he spoke, ending with a matter-of-fact expression, as if he were telling Lin Yu whether he was smart or not.
"Hmm, senior brother, think about it carefully."
Lin Yu patted Jia Le on the shoulder and chased after the absent-minded Uncle Nine ahead.
"Wen Cai! Qiu Sheng!"
As the group returned to the mortuary, Uncle Nine searched the courtyard for a long time but couldn't spot the two men.
Uncle Nine stood directly in the courtyard, calling out their names loudly.
"..."
"Coming... coming, coming!"
After a while, Wen Cai's weak voice came from inside the room.
A figure rushed out in a panic. As they approached, they could see that Wen Cai was still sleepy-eyed and his clothes were askew.
A trace of dried saliva still clung to his lips.
Looking at Wen Cai, who had just woken up, Uncle Nine suppressed his anger and asked, "Where's Qiu Sheng?"
Wen Cai hearing Uncle Nine's cold voice, Wen Cai involuntarily shivered and stammered, "In... inside."
"Snort"
Uncle Nine glared at Wen Cai, who was trembling beside him, and went into the house.
"Junior brothers, why are you back so early?"
Wen Cai looked at Lin Yu and the other man watching the drama unfold with a bitter expression. He had originally thought that Uncle Nine would not return until evening, but he didn't expect that he would be back before he could even have a good dream.
"Senior brother, you're finished."
Lin Yu felt that the two of them were truly like pigs that don't fear boiling water; they really didn't learn their lesson.
I made such a big mistake just a few days ago, and now I can sleep so soundly without panicking at all.
Wen Cai shuddered upon hearing Lin Yu's words. After Lin Yu's guidance, Uncle Nine would no longer spoil them excessively as before.
That was a truly deadly attack.
He still has bruises on his body.
"Little brother, you're back~"
Mary then came out of Lin Yu's room.
"Um"
Lin Yu stared at Mary with a look of utter exasperation. "That's my room!"
Now Lin Yu has to knock before going back to his room, otherwise he might see something bad and be in trouble.
She's been enjoying her stay in Lin Yu's Lin Yu these past few days, and whenever she's in a bad mood, she goes there.
"Master, spare me! I won't do it again!"
At this moment, Qiu Sheng looked terrified and ran out of the house in a panic, like a cornered dog jumping over a wall.
Behind him, Uncle Nine emerged from behind, carrying a wooden stick as thick as an arm.
Look how scared the child is, so flustered, he didn't even have time to put on his clothes.
"Listen up, you two. Go and test your grandmaster's disciple. I suspect he's no longer human."
Uncle Nine, holding a wooden stick, pointed at the two men standing at attention in front of him and gave them instructions.
"Ah! Master, with our current skill level, how can we test him?"
Qiu Sheng looked extremely unwilling after hearing this. He had seen that Shi Shaojian was an arrogant person that day, and he felt an overwhelming reluctance when asked to communicate with him.
"I won't make things difficult for you. Just poke his yang acupoint with silver needles and see how he reacts."
Uncle Nine didn't want to make things difficult for them, so he simply took out the silver needles he had just retrieved from the room.
Wow~
Looking at the silver needle that was several tens of centimeters long, Qiu Sheng leaned closer to measure its length and let out a scream.
If you poke someone like that, you might kill them.
"What! You don't want to?"
Uncle Nine weighed the wooden stick in his other hand, gesturing for the two to choose one.
"No, Master, don't worry. Leave this difficult task to us; we guarantee we'll complete it."
Qiu Sheng quickly grabbed Uncle Nine's arm, which was holding the wooden stick, took the silver needles, and ran away with Obi's Wen Cai.
"Well"
Uncle Nine looked at the two grown-up children who were completely immature and sighed helplessly.
Lin Yu was also silently considering whether or not to bring these two along; there really wasn't a single opportunity.
"Pfft~"
Mary watched the goofy duo and felt that having these two clowns around made her feel better.
