I can't extract any human tissue; it's as if the entire Yin Xiang family just vanished into thin air.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That shouldn't be right. Even if they were burned, it's impossible to burn a human body this cleanly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if someone took the bodies away, that doesn't make sense either. I've already checked the surveillance of the nearby streets. Aside from a man who arrived here by taxi four days ago, followed by the Senior Alchemist Zhou Heping and the Senior Apothecary Yun Yingfa, no one else has entered or exited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So many people, how could they just vanish into thin air?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiu squatted in the courtyard of Yin Xiang's house, unable to fathom the mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, the taxi driver who had previously driven Ye Lin was also brought before Xu Xiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the driver saw Xu Xiu, his face turned pale on the spot, and he couldn't wait to start explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm innocent! I really haven't introduced anyone to look for the centipede's natural predator recently!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiu: \"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't call you here to ask about that. Four days ago, did you drive someone to Yin Xiang's house?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver was stunned for a moment, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was such a person. He said he came to find Master Yin Xiang to repair a piece of equipment. What's wrong? Did something happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm the one asking you, not the other way around! What were his features?\" Xu Xiu asked with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Features?\" The driver recalled for a moment. \"He was a great talker! He chatted with me the whole way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiu: \"......I'm asking you about his physical appearance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, oh, oh, he looked... not tall, not short... not fat, not thin... not dark, not fair...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're looking for trouble, aren't you?\" Xu Xiu glared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Xu Xiu's glare, the driver panicked instantly, scratching his head in anxiety as he desperately tried to recall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how he tried, he couldn't recall any features of Ye Lin, because at that time, Ye Lin had a completely unremarkable, generic face that would be impossible to find if thrown into a crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, don't make things difficult for him.\" A hoarse voice came from the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Litian, with a face full of stubble and hair as messy as a bird's nest, walked in carrying a wine bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master!\" Xu Xiu was instantly overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Litian walked forward and patted the driver on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can go. This matter has nothing to do with you anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, alright, thank you! You really are a righteous official! You see through everything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver hurriedly gave Huang Litian a thumbs-up, then left in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, he is the only person who has seen the killer. If we let him go, what should we do next?\" Xu Xiu asked anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've been with me for so long, why haven't you made any progress?\" Huang Litian shook his head, then continued. \"Didn't he say it? The killer came to find Yin Xiang to repair equipment. Do you think Yin Xiang was willing or forced?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiu's head buzzed, as if a tangled mess had suddenly found a loose thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... you mean... if Yin Xiang was forced, he surely would have left us some clues?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Litian didn't say anything more; he took a sip of wine and then walked straight toward the forging furnace, climbing right into the furnace opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Nothing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was some confusion in Huang Litian's drunken, hazy eyes, and then he shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Xiu! Light the furnace fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah? Master, are you serious?\" Xu Xiu was startled. At this moment, half of Huang Litian's body was inside the forging furnace; if he lit the fire, wouldn't he be roasted like a duck?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you to light it, so light it! So much nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiu gritted his teeth, then proceeded to light the furnace fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This forging furnace was built by Yin Xiang at a great cost, and its fire could reach temperatures as high as four thousand degrees Celsius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the fire was lit, Huang Litian's entire body instantly ignited! Flames overflowed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiu was shocked and hurriedly pulled Huang Litian out, extinguishing the flames on his body. If it had been a few seconds later, Huang Litian would likely have become a kebab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough, cough, cough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Litian coughed violently. His hair and the beard on his face were scorched and stuck to his skin, looking extremely disheveled, but Huang Litian revealed a smile and slowly spat out five words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eight Desolations Holy Silver Bow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick! Go investigate all class-transferred individuals in Qingcheng who possess longbow equipment immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master!\" Xu Xiu nodded excitedly. This was the Huang Litian he was familiar with!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just two steps out, Xu Xiu's footsteps came to a sudden halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait! Hold on a second!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiu suddenly remembered the very simple-looking young man he had bumped into when he went out that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That young man, did he seem to be carrying a bow and a quiver?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiu's head exploded with a boom; he felt like he had missed something!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master! I think... I know where the killer is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiu turned his head and headed toward the direction of the Ji Corporation, with Huang Litian hurriedly following.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know where the killer is?\" Now it was Huang Litian's turn to be confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiu nodded, then told Huang Litian everything about bumping into Ye Lin on the road that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Litian was stunned at first, then asked with some skepticism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're saying that person went to apply for a bodyguard position at the Ji Corporation, and the person he was to protect... was Ye Lin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Xiu nod, Huang Litian's two scorched eyebrows immediately knitted together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Lin... it's Ye Lin again... Ever since the Kensen case, why does it seem like every incident ends up being related to this person? What kind of role is he playing in all these events? What is his relationship with Ling Ye? And what is his relationship with this killer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Litian vaguely felt like he had grasped something, yet also like he had grasped nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was now certain of one thing: everything that had happened in Qingcheng in recent days was inseparable from this Ye Lin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Litian called for reinforcements and then led his men in a rage toward the Ji Corporation. He had already witnessed Ye Lin's sharp tongue, so he didn't plan to waste words this time; he intended to go straight to make an arrest and settle old and new accounts together!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodyguards of the Ji Corporation naturally dared not stop the people from the Investigation Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Huang Litian saw Ye Lin's main body using a wheelchair to push his clone while sunbathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Huang Litian, Ye Lin was also somewhat surprised. This guy was actually still persisting in tracking him? He was truly persistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shi Xing, right? You are suspected of murdering the senior blacksmith Yin Xiang. Now, please come with me to the Investigation Bureau.\" Huang Litian said coldly. \"Don't worry, this time I have plenty of evidence! The Eight Desolations Holy Silver Bow on you is the best evidence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ye Lin's expression turned slightly ugly. It seemed that when he was dealing with Yin Xiang, there were some loose ends he hadn't cleaned up properly, leaving behind evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he really going to have to give up the new identity he had worked so hard to obtain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ye Lin was hesitating whether to make a move, a translucent figure suddenly emerged from the wall. Ye Lin recognized at a glance that this figure was the guy who had been secretly monitoring him all along!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is that?!\" Huang Litian shouted sharply. The investigators following him also drew their weapons, standing ready to strike at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after the figure appeared, he showed no intention of attacking, but instead said directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are from the Investigation Bureau, right? A large swarm of monsters is about to attack Qingcheng. With Qingcheng's current strength, it won't be able to hold them off. Take this opportunity to evacuate the civilians immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, a bone-chilling coldness shot from Huang Litian's tailbone all the way up to his crown!\u003C\u002Fp>",1406,"2026-06-21T02:52:47.916Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f9b1c070ea4394accb73d0ad805480117fd9b2495441cfdc02541ed4950253f3","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-156","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-154",847,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-cover.jpg"]
