Chapter 1751

The time Ji Yaohua and Gu Hanyuan were separated was even shorter than imagined.

Before noon, a purple-clothed constable from the Six Doors came to notify Gu Hanyuan to go and see Ji Yaohua.

Gu Hanyuan followed him to a manor.

This was the property of Master Tiedi.

To be precise, it was given to Master Tiedi by Long Xiaoyun.

Now living here was Ruyi.

Master Tiedi's original wife died early and left no offspring, and the only concubine was Ruyi.

Therefore, Ruyi logically inherited all of Master Tiedi's legacy, and this manor was naturally no exception.

This place had already been sealed off by the people of the Six Doors, and such a big commotion naturally meant another murder case had occurred.

Gu Hanyuan entered leisurely.

Ji Yaohua, in her black-clothed divine catcher attire, was examining the corpse on the ground with a solemn expression.

The shiny bald head had become wrinkled and dark green, making it difficult to see the appearance clearly.

However, Gu Hanyuan recognized at a glance that it was Xinjian.

A little further away, Ruyi, in plain white mourning clothes, was covering her face and sobbing delicately.

Ruyi noticed Gu Hanyuan's arrival and secretly threw a flirtatious glance.

The corners of Gu Hanyuan's mouth curled up, then quickly disappeared.

He called out softly:

"Miss Ji."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yaohua got up and looked at Gu Hanyuan, a flash of joy in her beautiful eyes.

She said in a soft voice:

"Young Master Gu, you are here."

The people from the Six Doors present looked over with ambiguous eyes.

Similar gazes had already been seen once when Ji Yaohua returned to the Six Doors station in the morning.

Perhaps because of a guilty conscience.

Ji Yaohua just glared at them fiercely, but did not explain much.

In a place where no one could see, she couldn't help but purse her lips.

Gu Hanyuan said warmly:

"Miss Ji, how is the situation?"

Talking about business, Ji Yaohua returned to her cold and capable appearance.

With her delicate brows slightly furrowed, she said:

"Xinjian died of a rare poison. This poison is very rare, a kind of bat poison from the Miao border. I suspect it was done by the Five Poison Boys."

Gu Hanyuan raised his brows slightly and asked:

"Why would the Five Poison Boys want to kill Xinjian?"

Ji Yaohua glanced at Ruyi, who was still sobbing, and said in a low voice:

"Miss Ruyi said that Xinjian suddenly broke in and wanted to do something improper to her, and then for some reason, his face turned black and he died of poison. Then a figure less than six feet tall broke in and took a book from Xinjian. When I examined Xinjian's corpse, I found two blood holes on the back of his neck, which should have been bitten by a bat. As for what that book was, it is unknown."

PS: The "chi" here uses the ancient chi, one chi is 0.23 meters.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he pondered:

"The Five Poison Boys are probably after my 'Innate Sunflower Divine Art'."

Ji Yaohua was stunned and asked:

"'Innate Sunflower Divine Art'?"

Gu Hanyuan said gloomily:

"Yes, that is the martial art I taught Afei. Long Xiaoyun once had a deal with me, so I also gave him a copy. When Xinjian was cleaning up Long Xiaoyun's corpse, he should have obtained the secret manual. It's just that I don't know how the Five Poison Boys got the news, killed Xinjian, and snatched the secret manual."

Ji Yaohua naturally wouldn't know about the private deal between Gu Hanyuan and Long Xiaoyun.

Hearing this, she was stunned, and suddenly associated it with some rumors about Lin Shiyin she had heard before.

Those rumors were headless and tailless, and their authenticity was questionable.

But based on Ji Yaohua's understanding of Gu Hanyuan, the rumors were very likely true, and something might have happened between the two.

When she heard the rumors at the time, she was still despising Gu Hanyuan in her heart, but at this moment, she inexplicably had an unpleasant mood.

Ji Yaohua furrowed her delicate brows and shook her head slightly, not wanting to think about it.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and asked:

"Does Young Master Gu want to deal with North Shaolin?"

Gu Hanyuan asked with a smile that was not a smile:

"Why do you say that?"

Ji Yaohua's beautiful eyes were full of light, and she said affirmatively:

"Xinjian cleaning up Long Xiaoyun's corpse was agreed to by Long Xiaoyun because of you, Young Master Gu."

"Miss Ji is indeed witty. I don't need to talk about my relationship with Shaolin, right? I just made use of Xinjian's greed."

Such an obvious framing trick didn't need to be hidden in the first place.

Gu Hanyuan just made use of Xinjian's greed.

As long as Xinjian became greedy, he fell into the trap.

This is an open conspiracy; whether it is seen through or not is not important.

Gu Hanyuan's frankness made Ji Yaohua's smile even brighter.

Ji Yaohua pondered for a moment and said:

"So that's it, it's just that I don't know how the Five Poison Boys got the news and came to snatch the secret manual."
