The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 161 - 158 Another Victim Found

Chapter 161: Chapter 158 Another Victim Found

Until Qin Zhao performed a shoulder throw, almost smashing him to the ground.

Fortunately, Chu Yan’s skills were not bad, and he reacted in time, grabbing her waist and avoiding a fall.

Otherwise, being knocked down by his wife in the street would have been quite embarrassing.

"I think you need a beating every three days to keep you in line."

Qin Zhao said coldly, pushing him away forcefully.

Was it his place to meddle in her affairs?

Chu Yan pursed his lips, his expression dim, "Do you really like him that much? Not only did you write him so many love letters, but you also treat me this way just to clear his name."

"This case has issues, I am just helping Huo Xun."

"You are not a policeman."

"Any person with a sense of justice cannot stand idly by when faced with wrongful convictions."

"You’re just making excuses, you care about him!"

Qin Zhao fell silent, feeling that Chu Yan was being childish, not accepting the truth that she didn’t love him but him!

She thought he was being unreasonable, purposefully hindering her.

Thus, Qin Zhao stopped arguing and snatched Chu Yan’s car keys.

Watching the Bentley speed away, Chu Yan was left alone in the disheveled wind.

"..."

Qin Zhao drove away his car and left him standing there.

Yet, Qin Zhao felt no guilt, rather, she felt much more at peace.

She drove quickly and soon arrived near the Lu Family’s residence.

Qin Zhao found a secluded place to park, then, putting on an Invisibility Talisman, she scaled the back wall into the Lu Family’s grounds, heading toward the bellflower bushes.

The sky was dark, but it wasn’t very late.

Around nine at night, so there were still quite a few people near the garden.

If Qin Zhao rummaged through the bellflowers now, it would surely attract attention.

She walked around other areas, observing the entire Feng Shui Bureau of the Lu Family.

The mansion was situated on low terrain, with mountains behind it and high ground surrounding it, a perfect ground for accumulating yin energy. If this place was a chaotic burial ground, it would breed numerous Evil Ghosts and Souls.

However, Qin Zhao had been here twice and felt the yang energy was strong, without any negative energy fields.

After a complete turn, fewer people remained in the garden.

The master and servants seemed ready for rest.

Qin Zhao returned to the bellflower bushes, her gaze deeply fixed on that patch of land.

Despite the severe yin energy and the terrain’s yin nature, the ancient tombs of the nobles in the back mountain, if someone skilled could transform the noble’s yin energy into yang energy, it could bring incredible wealth and an excellent position of power to those living here.

The noble’s life fortune and energy field could entirely transfer onto Lu Tingming’s fate!

Qin Zhao found a particularly dark and secluded corner, then started to dig the land under the bellflowers with the tools she had prepared, quickly uncovering many small stones.

She could see in the dark and immediately realized these were not stones.

But, human broken bones!

After unearthing the broken bones, Qin Zhao felt an icy chill of yin energy infiltrate her skin from the bones, indicating that the yin energy was specially contained under this garden!

No wonder it seemed unremarkable at first glance.

The person who altered the Feng Shui for the Lu Family certainly had some skill.

Qin Zhao continued to unearth the broken bones until she finally found the Array Eye.

She dug up the compass buried there, and suddenly the atmosphere shifted, and a chill wind howled.

Under the dense black night, various flowers seemed demonically alive, baring their teeth and claws.

A crimson fog began to spread around.

Qin Zhao frowned, and then reinstalled the compass.

The yin energy did not continue leaking out, but something else emerged from below.

"What is this place?"

A Ghost drifted over, curiously staring at Qin Zhao.

"Who are you?"

Qin Zhao held several broken bones in his hand and asked her, "Are these your remains?"

The Ghost exhibited a perplexed expression, "They seem to be."

"Why were you buried underneath?"

"This is my resting place."

Seeing the Ghost’s calm demeanor, Qin Zhao knew she had lost all her memories.

This Ghost was clearly suppressed here due to the Feng Shui Bureau, and might even have been dismembered before her death.

Yet, she had no resentful energy and thought this was her burial site.

"What is your name?"

"Gong Leyi."

Qin Zhao’s pupils constricted. "What relation is Gong Lexin to you?"

"I don’t know, I don’t remember."

The Ghost must have been young at the time of her death, appearing to be a young girl.

After observing her for a while, Qin Zhao noticed some similarities between her and Gong Lexin in their facial features.

"Do you want to leave this place? How about I take you outside for a stroll?"

"Yes, yes! I’ve never been outside, what is it like out there?"

"It’s fun, you’ll see once you come with me."

Qin Zhao temporarily stored Gong Leyi’s soul into a special talisman, feeling certain this girl was related to Gong Lexin.

Their names were closely linked; such coincidences were impossible in the world.

Qin Zhao, still wearing an Invisibility Talisman, then entered the mansion.

She first visited the resting room where Gong Lexin died, which had already been cleaned by the servants.

Seeing the spotless resting room, Qin Zhao became pensive.

Could the Lu Family members be the murderers?

But why hadn’t she seen any karma on the Lu Family members?

Since Gong Lexin’s death, her soul had also been missing.

However, from the time of the incident until now, Qin Zhao had only met Lu Tingming and Xu Biqing, and two other Lu Family members had not been seen.

Those were Lu Tingming’s two sons, Lu Zhiheng and Lu Zhixing.

Could it have been them?

Lu Tingming had the murderer leave early, initially trying to close the case as an accident, but it had not been successful, so he had to fabricate false evidence, framing Shen Xihe for murder?

Finding nothing else in the resting room, Qin Zhao moved to the second floor of the villa.

Although that day was supposedly a banquet hosted for Lu Zhixing, Lu Zhixing never attended, and Lu Tingming’s eldest son, Lu Zhiheng, had also been absent.

Just as she neared the study, Qin Zhao sharply heard some voices talking.

"This matter should be resolved now, right? There’s an important press conference tomorrow, and the reporters will definitely ask about this incident; we can’t afford any more mistakes."

This was Xu Biqing’s anxious voice.

"It’s resolved."

Lu Tingming replied, though his tone was heavy with concern.

"I hope that Huo Xun knows better than to mess things up; nonetheless, this investigation mustn’t proceed any further. Call Dad and see if you can get Huo Xun transferred from the Imperial Capital Criminal Police Team."

"It indeed can’t continue. Gong Lexin, Gong Leyi, what exactly is their relationship? If anything were to be discovered about Gong Leyi, we could never clear ourselves of suspicion."

"It’s been so many years, it’s impossible to find out about Gong Leyi."

"Alright, I’ll go call Dad now."

Xu Biqing left the study, and Qin Zhao didn’t linger there any longer but turned and left.

Now, she could be sure that even if Gong Lexin wasn’t murdered by the Lu Family, they were definitely involved.

As for Gong Leyi, who had died many years ago, it was very likely that they killed her too!
