Chapter 61: Three Questions

~7 min read 1,296 words

As the murderer who killed Left Sima Liu Yi was determined to be Vulture of the Hundred Birds organization, and Vulture escaped in fear of crime.

The soldiers who originally guarded around Left Sima's mansion were also much fewer.

However, Lady Hu did not care about this.

Even for Liu Yi's death, she did not have a trace of sadness.

If she had just heard of Liu Yi's death, perhaps she would have been somewhat uncomfortable, but until she saw that box and learned the truth of Liu Yi's death.

She was Liu Yi's widow.

Even according to the story Su Xuan told, she was a pitiful and sad person, but Su Xuan found out the truth, so he still had to inform her. Therefore, after the court meeting ended, someone came to the mansion and told Lady Hu the truth.

Learning that it was really Liu Yi who colluded with the Three Wolves of Broken Hair to slaughter her entire family back then, the grief and indignation in Lady Hu's heart could not be described in words.

Immediately after, she made a request to the messenger who came to deliver the letter: she wanted to see Mr. Su who solved the case.

After that, there was the matter of Su Xuan coming here.

Left Sima Mansion, in the study.

This was also the place where Liu Yi's body was found earlier. Now, it had become the place where Su Xuan and Lady Hu talked.

"Please mourn, Lady Hu!"

Although Su Xuan knew that Lady Hu had someone else in her heart, after seeing the other party, he still comforted her. Regardless, Liu Yi was Lady Hu's husband.

Lady Hu could not see any sadness on her face. Her voice was low, and she said to Su Xuan: "Mr. Su, you are an expert. I am just a weak woman with no ability. If it weren't for having questions to ask Mr. Su, I really wouldn't want to disturb you."

"What do you want to ask, My Lady?" Su Xuan appeared quite kind.

Lady Hu got straight to the point and asked the first question first: "Are the things Mr. Su said in the court true?"

Even after seeing that box, she had speculations in her heart, and even if the messenger had relayed the truth Su Xuan said in the court to her, she still wanted to confirm it again with Su Xuan.

"It's all true!"

Su Xuan did not hide this point. Although he did not really investigate the case, and the so-called Technique of Penetrating the Nether was essentially just disguised with illusions, these things were the truth described in the original work, and they were all true.

Lady Hu's delicate body shook slightly. "Liu Yi..."

She whispered this name, and in her words, contained bone-deep hatred.

Thinking of her father, thinking of those familiar faces in the Fire Rain Manor, and thinking that they all died because of Liu Yi, Lady Hu's mood could not be good. Fortunately, before this, she treated Liu Yi as a very good person and served him for many years since she married him.

As a result, she was blind after all and did not see clearly that this was her real enemy.

She felt extremely uncomfortable, and finally, she endured the sadness and said to Su Xuan: "I have one more, no, two questions I want to ask Mr. Su!"

"What questions?"

"The first question is, is Li Kai still alive?"

Li Kai was the former Right Sima of the State of Han and was also the one who fell in love with Lady Hu. In the story Su Xuan told, he mentioned him, so Lady Hu knew that Su Xuan must know who this was.

On the day Liu Yi was murdered, she had an argument with Liu Yi. The reason was that when she was watching a play in the theater, she saw a figure extremely similar to Li Kai. Even if his face was unrecognizable, she still recognized the other party.

Unfortunately, since then, she wanted to find the other party, but there was no clue.

"Li Kai is indeed still alive!"

Su Xuan answered Lady Hu's first question.

"Then he..." Lady Hu wanted to ask about Li Kai's whereabouts.

Su Xuan said: "Please consider carefully, My Lady, whether this last question is used on Li Kai, or on someone else? For you, My Lady, there are probably more than just Li Kai who are important."

Lady Hu was stunned and immediately hesitated.

Finally, the words that reached her lips were changed into another question: "Where is... my daughter?"

If Liu Yi heard this sentence, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. It was well known that Lady Hu did not give birth to any children after marrying Liu Yi, and obviously, it was impossible for her to have a daughter.

The only man who had a close relationship with Lady Hu back then was Li Kai.

So, if she had a daughter, it could only be Li Kai's daughter.

Su Xuan heard Lady Hu's question and could not help but sigh in his heart. Lady Hu was treating him as a divine calculator!

How could he calculate the secrets of heaven and know these things?

However, he thought about it slightly, and finally answered: "Zilanxuan!"

Lady Hu's delicate body shook again. She did not expect Su Xuan to really give an answer. What kind of place Zilanxuan was, she had also heard of it; it was a famous brothel in Xinzheng City.

Was her daughter there?

Was she... still alive?

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Yi had just died not long ago and the case had not been settled, Lady Hu would have wanted to rush to Zilanxuan immediately to find her daughter.

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for telling me!"

Although there were still questions in her heart she wanted to ask Su Xuan, after thinking about it, Lady Hu gave up.

After all, she had no relatives or friends with Su Xuan, and Su Xuan answering her three questions had already given her a lot of face.

In her heart, she was also somewhat emotional. Su Xuan was worthy of being an Immortal Master.

Although she did not know how he did it, he seemed to have the ability to foresee the future. From the fact that he answered the two questions about Li Kai and her daughter, it could be seen.

Su Xuan gladly accepted Lady Hu's thanks.

The two continued to stay in the study, looking at each other, both speechless.

At this moment, a sharp sword suddenly attacked, and the target was... Lady Hu.

Murderous intent rushed to her face.

Lady Hu was shocked, and the hair on her body stood up.

Just when this sword was about to fall on Lady Hu.

A gust of wind blew, and instantly, the body of the person holding the sword was swung to the other side, which also caused this sword to deviate from the target.

"Daring to commit murder in front of me, you really don't take me seriously."

Su Xuan's tone was cold, looking at the figure who came here holding a sword.

"In addition, at such a time, you don't run for your life, but actually have the courage to come here, attempting to find the whereabouts of the treasure. Should I say that you are worthy of being the former cold-blooded killer, the Three Wolves of Broken Hair? You really want money but not your life!"

The visitor, with a hideous face, wearing a mask with half a bird's beak, holding a sharp blade, was Vulture of the Hundred Birds organization, and also the real murderer who killed Liu Yi.
