Green Water Bay, Lu Family Mansion, dungeon, 11:00 PM.

Lu Xiaolan sat in the prison cell, with Lu Dongjun, Lu Dongliang's younger brother, sitting opposite her.

"Xiaolan, tell your second uncle first, how did you go to the He Family Old Mansion?" Lu Dongjun looked at Lu Xiaolan with a kind smile.

Lu Xiaolan shook her head: "I only told my dad; why doesn't my dad come to see me?"

Lu Dongjun sighed: "Xiaolan, your dad heard some rumors and had a bit of a misunderstanding with you. Your second uncle came this time to help you clear up the misunderstanding."

Lu Xiaolan turned her head away, not wanting to pay attention to Lu Dongjun.

Lu Xiaolan's mother, Zhuo Yuling, entered the prison cell, frowned at Lu Xiaolan, and scolded: "Xiaolan, don't be rude. Whatever your second uncle asks, you must answer honestly."

"Mom……" Seeing Zhuo Yuling, Lu Xiaolan's eyes turned red.

"Good child, Mom believes you. Talk to your second uncle properly and tell the truth." Zhuo Yuling draped a garment over Lu Xiaolan.

The dungeon guard felt that doing this was against the rules, but since a mother was draping a garment over her daughter, he couldn't say much.

Lu Xiaolan sobbed, adjusted her tone, and said to Lu Dongjun:

"I boarded the train with He Jiaqing. I was originally in the same carriage as him, but as soon as he got on the train, he said he had something to do and went out, and never came back after leaving the carriage.

I went to look for him and found quite a few He family members on the train, all with cultivation above the fifth layer. They were clearly there to protect He Jiaqing.

Plus, the train conductors were walking back and forth; I had no chance to kill He Jiaqing at all. With no other choice, I made a backup plan and caused the train to derail."

This was one of the questions Lu Dongjun cared about most: "What method did you use to make the train derail?"

Lu Xiaolan was silent for a moment and said: "Fifty minutes after the train started, it would pass a junction. One track was for normal travel, and the other track had been abandoned not long ago.

The worker responsible for switching the junction that night was a trusted aide I had planted for three years. I ordered him to lead the train onto the abandoned track. The track broke, the train went off,

The conductors were busy saving people, and those He family members didn't react for a moment. I took the opportunity to find He Jiaqing and dealt him a heavy blow."

Lu Dongjun looked shocked: "You girl, not only did you offend the He family, you've offended the Outer State as well. How dare you attack a train?"

Lu Xiaolan looked up at Lu Dongjun: "Whether I offended the Outer State or not, let's put that aside for now. But this matter of offending the He family needs to be discussed clearly.

Second uncle, I ask you, since my dad told me to kill He Jiaqing, why is he afraid of offending the He family now? Since we've already torn off the mask, why are you looking for me to take the blame?"

Lu Dongjun pursed his lips and said: "The situation was different then. At that time, everyone thought He Haiqin was about to die. Who knew He Haiqin would suddenly come back to life……"

Lu Xiaolan said with tears in her eyes: "The He family had a change, so you want to pin it on me? Isn't the Lu family going to rule the entire Puluo Continent? Pushing a woman out to take the blame, is that all the Lu family is capable of?"

Lu Dongjun was speechless.

Zhuo Yuling scolded: "Xiaolan, don't talk nonsense!"

After a long silence, Lu Dongjun continued to ask: "Then why did you go to the He Family Old Mansion?"

Lu Xiaolan wiped her tears: "He Jiaqing didn't die. I didn't expect him to be so tough. After I ambushed him, he was already unconscious, but he was woken up by a phone call from Li Banfeng.

He is very good at fighting. In two or three moves, he broke all the hooks I had placed outside.

Later, I don't know what magic treasure he used; he pushed me, and I flew out.

I flew for a long time, and when I stopped, I was already at the He Family Old Mansion. I wanted to run out, but I couldn't get out. There was a house spirit in that mansion. I was trapped for several months, living by eating cats, weasels, and rats."

While speaking, Lu Xiaolan couldn't help but sob again.

Lu Dongjun was in no mood to comfort Lu Xiaolan; he was pondering the situation at the time.

"He Jiaqing pushed Xiaolan and sent her to the He Family Old Mansion, and sent himself back to the university dormitory. He actually has such a powerful magic treasure?"

Zhuo Yuling asked from the side: "Dongjun, have you seen such a magic treasure?"

Lu Dongjun shook his head: "I haven't seen it. I estimate Big Brother hasn't seen it either. Xiaolan, tell your second uncle first, did you fly back along the railway line?"

Lu Xiaolan shook her head: "The train had already gone off the track at that time. That section of the railway had already reached its end. I didn't fly back along the railway line."

Lu Dongjun felt this matter was even more bizarre: "Not flying back along the railway line, how did you cross the border lines of various places?"

Without special means of handling, border lines are insurmountable.

Lu Xiaolan shook her head: "I don't know, I really don't know."

Lu Dongjun suspected Lu Xiaolan hadn't told the truth at all.

"Xiaolan, tell your second uncle the truth, where did the Profound Life Did Honglian go?"

"It's in Li Banfeng's hands."

"Why did it fall into his hands?"

Lu Xiaolan recounted the matter: "The day before leaving school, He Jiaqing borrowed my necklace. My necklace is a magic treasure that can produce a layer of fake skin. This layer of fake skin can imitate a familiar person's figure, appearance, and voice.

He Jiaqing, relying on my necklace, disguised himself as Li Banfeng and deposited the Profound Life Did Honglian in the school's supermarket.

After he borrowed the necklace, I had been following him in secret. I saw this with my own eyes.

The school supermarket's storage lockers are very special. There are magic treasures in the lockers, magic treasures of a very high level. That storage locker cannot be violently destroyed. I don't know what kind of magic treasure it is or who left it.

He Jiaqing's move was very clever. Only he knows that the Profound Life Did Honglian is hidden in the school supermarket, and only Li Banfeng's face can open the supermarket's locker."

In other words, without obtaining the consent of both He Jiaqing and Li Banfeng, no one can open the storage locker, unless they get Lu Xiaolan's necklace.

Lu Dongjun believed Lu Xiaolan told the truth about this matter, because Lu Xiaolan indeed had this magic treasure. Lu Dongjun had tried it himself; he could turn into Lu Dongliang's appearance, and as long as the fake skin wasn't torn off, it was almost impossible to see the flaws.

Lu Dongjun said: "Then why didn't you use your necklace to go directly to the storage locker and take the Profound Life Did Honglian back?"

Lu Xiaolan continued: "I thought about it, but He Jiaqing refused to return the necklace to me and even said he lost it.

When I ambushed He Jiaqing, I snatched the necklace back. Just then, Li Banfeng called. Until He Jiaqing pushed me away, Li Banfeng's phone call hadn't hung up.

I was terrified at the time. In my desperation, I sensed He Jiaqing's mobile phone and wanted to hang a 'Wind-Following Ear' on myself, but I didn't expect this 'Wind-Following Ear' to hang on Li Banfeng's mobile phone.

I used his phone to hear some movements and knew He Jiaqing went to the hospital, He Haisheng also went to the hospital, and the Dark Star Bureau people found Li Banfeng.

I knew Li Banfeng was mentally unstable, and I also knew Li Banfeng and He Jiaqing had a deep friendship. I used this point to trick Li Banfeng to Medicine King Valley.

I asked him to bring the Profound Life Did Honglian and then trade me out from the house spirit, but I don't know what method he used to actually be able to run out of the He Family Old Mansion.

He should be a cultivator, and his level is not low. The Profound Life Did Honglian is still in his hands. I don't know where he went, but he has no travel permit, so he definitely can't get out of Medicine King Valley."

After listening to Lu Xiaolan's account, Lu Dongjun's expression was solemn.

He still didn't quite believe Lu Xiaolan.

"A storage locker in your school, with magic treasures inside, and it can't be opened?"

Lu Xiaolan nodded: "That supermarket is not an ordinary place."

"Who exactly is this Li Banfeng? A runner for the Dark Star Bureau? Or a disciple of some sect?"

Lu Xiaolan shook her head: "He is nothing. He is just a bastard without a father or mother!"

When mentioning the word 'bastard', Lu Xiaolan gritted her teeth hard.

Lu Dongjun frowned: "This is what I don't understand. Li Banfeng is not from the Dark Star Bureau, nor is he from any sect. Where did he get the travel permit? Without a travel permit, how did he buy the train ticket, how did he get on the train? How did he come to Medicine King Valley?

Don't tell me this train ticket was bought by you. You were trapped in the mansion and couldn't contact anyone, so how could you possibly buy a train ticket for Li Banfeng?"

Hearing this series of questions, Zhuo Yuling was also very worried. If the matter of the train ticket couldn't be explained clearly, no one would believe Lu Xiaolan.

The explanation Lu Xiaolan gave was: "This train ticket was bought by He Jiaqing in advance. Why did he buy a train ticket for Li Banfeng, why did he buy the train ticket for that day? I don't know the reason either.

I saw the train ticket information on his mobile phone. That's why I tricked Li Banfeng into boarding the train and going to Medicine King Valley."

Lu Dongjun shook his head after listening.

Judging from Lu Xiaolan's attitude, what she said should be the truth.

But these words sounded too absurd.

He Jiaqing bought a train ticket for Li Banfeng in advance?

What did he ask Li Banfeng to do in Medicine King Valley?

Did he calculate that he would have an accident?

Lu Xiaolan looked at Lu Dongjun in despair: "Second uncle, you don't believe me?"

"Xiaolan, I will tell your dad what you said. As for whether your dad believes it or not, I dare not guarantee. You should rest well first."

After speaking, Lu Dongjun got up and left the prison cell.

Zhuo Yuling looked at Xiaolan and sighed softly: "Xiaolan, don't be afraid. Your dad definitely won't wrong you. You should sleep for a while, Mom will come to see you tomorrow."

Zhuo Yuling also left. Lu Xiaolan still had the clothes Zhuo Yuling gave her draped over her.

She touched the clothes on her body and heard her mother's voice in her ear again: "Xiaolan, don't be afraid."

This was not an illusion, nor was it imagination; Lu Xiaolan really heard Zhuo Yuling's voice.

There were hooks on this garment, hooks of the 'Wind-Following Ear'.

Lu Xiaolan grabbed the garment and listened carefully, soon hearing her mother's voice again: "Your dad wants the Did Honglian. As long as the Did Honglian isn't found, your dad definitely won't touch you. He also doesn't know if the Did Honglian is still on you.

As long as I kill Li Banfeng first, your dad will never find the Did Honglian again. Mom will definitely find a way to save you."

……

The famous detective Dabo Ensi came to the Inner Valley, walked along Paifang Street for a while, and entered Feng's Grocery Store.

Shopkeeper Feng welcomed him with a smile: "What would you like to buy?"

Dabo Ensi lowered his voice and said: "I want to buy some elixirs here."

Shopkeeper Feng raised an eyebrow: "You've come to the wrong place, this is a grocery store."

Shopkeeper Feng didn't not sell elixirs, but he wouldn't easily sell them to strangers.

Dabo Ensi smiled: "Brother Zhang Liu from the Sanying Sect introduced me here. He said the elixirs you have here are of quite good quality."

Zhang Liuze was Shopkeeper Feng's friend, and he had indeed bought elixirs at Feng's Grocery Store.

With this connection, Shopkeeper Feng no longer doubted him, handed the business at the front counter to Chunsheng, and took Dabo Ensi into the back room.

After the tea was poured, Shopkeeper Feng asked: "I don't know which type of elixir you want?"

"Snake Spot Elixir."

"How many do you want?"

"Can you let me see the quality first?"

Shopkeeper Feng took out a Snake Spot Elixir. Dabo Ensi looked at it and nodded: "The quality is excellent. You name a price."

"Fifteen thousand per pill." Shopkeeper Feng wasn't selling Snake Spot Elixir for the first time; his usual price was twelve thousand, but because the other party was a stranger, he asked for three thousand more to see how the other party would bargain.

Dabo Ensi didn't bargain: "Although it's a bit expensive, the quality of the elixir is indeed good. I'll take it."

"How many do you want?"

"Twenty."

"Twenty elixirs for three hundred thousand. This is a big deal." Shopkeeper Feng looked at the other party meaningfully. For such a big deal, he didn't accept credit.

Dabo Ensi took out a check from his bosom and wrote down the amount: "Let your assistant go to the Baocang Bank to exchange for money. Once the money arrives, I will collect the elixirs."

"Straightforward!" Shopkeeper Feng handed the check to Chunsheng. In less than half an hour, Chunsheng returned with three hundred thousand Huan currency notes.

Money in one hand, goods in the other, Shopkeeper Feng found a wooden box, sealed the elixirs, and handed them to Dabo Ensi.

Dabo Ensi was very satisfied and asked again: "I have a friend who also wants to buy some Profound Blazing Elixirs. I don't know if you have any in stock?"

Shopkeeper Feng nodded: "We have Profound Blazing Elixirs too. How many does your friend want?"

Dabo Ensi stretched out two fingers: "Also twenty."

Shopkeeper Feng frowned: "Twenty? You'd better think it over. One Profound Blazing Elixir costs two hundred and fifty thousand."

This price was also a bit high. Shopkeeper Feng was still testing the other party's attitude.

Dabo Ensi smiled: "As long as the quality is good enough, I will never bargain."

Shopkeeper Feng nodded: "Straightforward. There isn't that much in stock in the shop, I can help you ask around."

"Easy to say. I'll come back in two days, and I'll wait for your news then."

Dabo Ensi left the grocery store. After walking two steps, he met a foreigner on the side of the street.

Perhaps seeing that Dabo Ensi was dressed quite gentlemanly, the foreigner took the initiative to greet him: "This gentleman, I am visiting Medicine King Valley for the first time and want to buy some medicine. Do you know where the pharmacy is?"

Dabo Ensi looked the foreigner up and down and smiled: "Medicine King Valley is full of pharmacies. What kind of illness do you want to treat?"

The foreigner rolled up his sleeves, and there were dense rashes on his arms: "I have a strange herpes, and I don't know what medicine will be effective."

Dabo Ensi frowned, took two steps back, and pointed to the end of Paifang Street: "Andetang Pharmacy has very excellent resident physicians. Go find him and have him take a look."

"Thank you very much." The foreigner took off his hat and bowed.

"You're welcome." Dabo Ensi took off his hat and returned the bow.
