Chapter 1150: Chapter 497: I’m a Son-in-law, Easy to Bully, Come Bully Me_2

At this moment, three or four young men came forward to plead on behalf of Baiting Shen.

Baiting Shen hunched his back, feeling very smug in his heart.

"Hmph, Shen Baihu, with such petty schemes, how can you compete with me?"

He naturally assumed that Shen Baihu was jealous and had hence snitched, causing the son-in-law, Qi Yuan, to come looking for trouble with him.

At that time, Chen Kangbao quickly ran over.

"Young master, the plaque!"

He handed over a wooden board.

Hanging from a string on the wooden board, Qi Yuan hung it around himself.

He flipped the wooden board over and immediately, two rows of large characters appeared.

"I am just a son-in-law, very easy to bully!"

"Baiting Shen, you want to bully me, just do it, no need to hide your thoughts!"

Qi Yuan pointed at the large characters on the wooden board, looking at Baiting Shen.

The people around witnessed this scene, all looking surprised and totally bewildered.

"Has this son-in-law... truly gone mad?"

"His behavior is... too erratic."

Indeed, Qi Yuan’s actions confused them.

Baiting Shen’s face changed unpredictably, looking very unsightly.

He hadn’t expected Qi Yuan to actually find him, and even produce a wooden board with such writing.

Chen Kangbao, standing by, blinked his eyes because he remembered that there were clearly no words written on the wooden board.

"Baiting Shen, I am very easy to bully, come on and bully me!" Qi Yuan said to Baiting Shen, his face full of anticipation.

The roleplay as the son-in-law Qi Yuan was at 29% progress.

Moving forward another step, he felt there might be a reward, and he was quite looking forward to it.

As long as Baiting Shen bullied him, maybe the progress would exceed 29%.

Baiting Shen took a deep breath, "If Brother Qi has any dissatisfaction with me, Baiting admits his wrongs, hoping Brother Qi will calm down!"

He bowed solemnly, apologizing to Qi Yuan.

The people around looked at Baiting Shen with faces full of sympathy.

"Hey, are you a man or not? Just say it if you want to bully me, why keep up the pretense every day, acting like a hypocrite, isn’t it exhausting?" Qi Yuan said.

Hearing this, Baiting Shen still looked aggrieved, "Brother Qi, you’ve greatly misunderstood me!"

The people around looked at Qi Yuan with a hint of resentment on their faces.

It seemed they were angry with Qi Yuan for bullying Baiting Shen this way.

An outsider, yet acting so high and mighty.

Just then, an urgent voice came, "Brother-in-law, I’ve found where Old Zhong lives!"

Excitement could be heard in the voice.

Shen Lingfeng ran up, grabbing Qi Yuan’s arm.

His arrival seemed to pause the argument on the scene for a moment.

Qi Yuan, hearing this, said to Baiting Shen, "Baiting, when I come back, you can bully me then, I have to step away for a moment."

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about?" Shen Lingfeng was somewhat confused.

"It’s nothing, let’s go to Old Zhong’s place."

Qi Yuan pulled Shen Lingfeng along.

After all, Old Zhong’s death was somewhat odd, and Qi Yuan needed to investigate who the person behind the scenes truly was.

This was also one of the several tasks in his roleplay as the son-in-law Qi Yuan.

Baiting Shen watched the backs of Shen Lingfeng and Qi Yuan, his face changing unpredictably.

"How did their relationship suddenly get so good?"

"This Qi Yuan is truly detestable, is he pretending to be crazy and stupid or what?"

"Hmph, the moral high ground is on my side. If I’m careful during this period, how can he compete with me?"

Baiting Shen thought to himself.

Given the current situation, he was the victim. Even if the matter escalated to the Elders’ Council, the advantage was on his side; he didn’t fear Qi Yuan at all.

...

"Brother-in-law, I know you want to investigate Old Zhong’s death, so I specifically found you an assistant. He is now in Old Zhong’s house, examining the body," Shen Lingfeng spoke seriously with the eagerness of a child seeking acknowledgment.

"You’ve been thoughtful," said Qi Yuan.

"Hehe, working for brother-in-law, of course, I need to be diligent!" Shen Lingfeng said, then whispered, "Brother-in-law, I have already received seven replies today."

He spoke proudly, also showing off.

He had sent out over a hundred letters and now had received seventeen replies.

"However, Miss Li and Miss Lin have not replied, ah..." Shen Lingfeng lamented.

"That means you have no fate with them. Don’t bother with those two anymore," said Qi Yuan.

"All right, I’ll listen to my brother-in-law!" Shen Lingfeng replied.

Soon, the two arrived at Lao Zhong’s residence outside the Shen Mansion.

The residence was somewhat remote, the house small, dark, and damp.

Inside the house, there was a faint stench of decay, as well as a scent reminiscent of dead snakes.

A coffin was placed in the room, its lid open, with a man dressed as a constable frowning in thought.

"Lin Qinghe, how’s the investigation going, who killed Lao Zhong?" Shen Lingfeng entered and called out loudly.

Lin Qinghe’s thoughts were interrupted, and he looked at Qi Yuan and Shen Lingfeng, his gaze briefly resting on Qi Yuan with some surprise.

However, he still answered truthfully, "The victim has been dead for too long, and there are too few clues left.

However, there is a fine and even cut at the victim’s throat bone, which by my estimate, was likely inflicted by a master swordsman with a single thrust."

Lin Qinghe’s eyes showed helplessness.

Lao Zhong had been dead too long, and there were too few clues left in this house.

Even if those Divine Constables were to take over, it would be difficult to determine who the culprit was.

"Who killed him, framing my brother-in-law?" Shen Lingfeng asked.

Lin Qinghe shook his head, "I need time to investigate and find more clues."

"Let me take a look," Qi Yuan spoke up at this moment and walked toward the coffin.

Lin Qinghe was somewhat surprised but said nothing.

"Brother-in-law, do you know how to solve cases?" Shen Lingfeng asked from the side.

"Actually, I’m particularly suited to solving cases," Qi Yuan seriously replied. "If I were a constable, there would hardly be a case in this world I couldn’t solve!"

Had he not appeared in the Immortal Cultivation Method World, his superpower would have been most suitable for being a detective or a police officer.

Hearing this, Lin Qinghe was somewhat speechless.

He naturally recognized the young man before him as Qi Yuan from Ninghe County.

He hadn’t expected Qi Yuan would come out of the madhouse and return to the Shen Family.

But thinking of the Shen Family’s strength, that seemed normal.

This Qi Yuan, he knew, was quite ordinary and somewhat of a waste.

How could he solve a case?

Now, making such grand claims, it was really laughable.

"Brother Qi, do you know why... there is a missing bone in Lao Zhong’s waist and abdomen?" Lin Qinghe asked casually.

It seemed that he wanted to test Qi Yuan.

"Is that important?" Qi Yuan glanced at Lin Qinghe. "It’s unrelated to his death. You’re focusing on such matters; it seems your skills aren’t up to par."

Lin Qinghe was stunned for a moment, feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness.

This son-in-law Qi Yuan... Can’t he tell I’m trying to test him?

If he cannot even discern such a simple injury, yet claims there is no case he can’t solve in this world?

Qi Yuan paid no more attention to Lin Qinghe, his gaze settling on Lao Zhong’s decaying corpse.

He glanced at the fatal wound on the neck.

Suddenly, a piece of information appeared before Qi Yuan’s eyes.

[This sword mark comes from the hand of Fang Shisan of the Guangyao Society.]

"Brother-in-law, do you have any clues?" Shen Lingfeng asked from a distance, not daring to come closer.

Lin Qinghe watched Qi Yuan, feeling helpless in his heart.

This man merely glanced and didn’t even carefully examine the bones, how could he possibly find any clues?

"No clues, but I’ve found the person who killed Lao Zhong," Qi Yuan said.

Lin Qinghe was taken aback and instinctively asked, "Who is the killer? Could it be that Brother Qi is acquainted?"

"The killer is Fang Shisan from the Guangyao Society; do any of you know him?" Qi Yuan countered.

"Guangyao Society? Fang Shisan?" Lin Qinghe was taken aback.

He had never heard of these two names; could Qi Yuan be talking nonsense?

"I haven’t heard of them," Shen Lingfeng shook his head.

"It seems none of you know," Qi Yuan said indifferently. "Let’s go, let’s head home. Now that we know who the killer is, we just need to find him."

Admiration appeared on Shen Lingfeng’s face, "Brother-in-law, you’re truly amazing, knowing who the killer is with just one look at the body!"

Nearby, Lin Qinghe was still in a state of dumbfounded silence.

He really wanted to refute Shen Lingfeng, but after some thought, there was no point in arguing with Shen Lingfeng.

After all, he naturally felt Qi Yuan was spouting nonsense.

How could anyone just glance at a victim and know who the killer is, especially when he doesn’t even know or has never seen the killer?

Could it be that the name of the killer was engraved on the victim’s bones?

"Brother Lin, help me put out a warrant for this Fang Shisan of the Guangyao Society!" Shen Lingfeng requested of Lin Qinghe before leaving.

"...Alright," Lin Qinghe hesitated slightly and then nodded with some reluctance.
