Chapter 212 Something is wrong with the wind and rain
"How did you find out she was killed?"
"Susu has the habit of staying in bed late. I am the one who wakes her up almost every day. This morning, I went to knock on the door as usual, but there was no response for a long time. I thought she said she was tired last night, so I thought she slept too deeply. Then I found that the door was not locked, so I pushed it open... She screamed in shock and passed out!"
Feng Yu couldn't help but tremble when he recalled the horrifying scene.
"When you went to see her at night, the door was locked from the inside. When you knocked on the door in the morning, it was not locked?" Wen Chuyu asked!
"Yes!"
"So, the murderer left through the door after killing Liu Susu!" After Wen Chuyu said this, he and Yue Feiqun checked again at the door and the dean's office, but unfortunately, they still didn't find anything suspicious!
Shen Qingqiu asked several questions in succession, but found nothing wrong. Just as he was about to leave, Ji Jiuying thought of something and turned back to look at Feng Yu and asked, "Did you hear any noises or anything unusual happen before Liu Susu came back?"
After hearing this, Fengyu was silent for a while. Something flashed through her mind, and finally she shook her head.
"Okay, Fengyu, then you should have a good rest!"
Liu Piaopiao patted Feng Yu's shoulder and comforted him.
Seeing this, Ji Jiuying and others had to turn around and leave. At this moment, Feng Yu looked at Liu Piaopiao turning around and leaving, as if he remembered something!
"Wait... wait a minute!"
Shen Qingqiu, Ji Jiuying and the others stopped and turned back immediately, "Feng Yu, what did you remember?" Shen Qingqiu asked anxiously!
Feng Yu glanced at Liu Piaopiao, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head, but the conflicted look in her eyes was caught by Ji Jiuying and Wen Chuyu.
Ji Jiuying suppressed the doubts in her heart and said nothing.
The sky darkened, and the Star Academy was shrouded in ink-like darkness, making it impossible to tell east from west.
An imperceptible black shadow quickly passed through the academy. A slight sound behind him startled Ji Jiuying and she immediately became alert! She quietly used her spiritual power.
The black shadow quickly moved towards Ji Jiuying.
"Xiaojiu, it's me!"
Ji Jiuying was about to use her spiritual power, but when she heard a familiar voice, she retracted the spiritual power in her hand.
"Chu Yu! Why are you here?" Ji Jiuying asked.
"I'm waiting for you here. I knew you would appear here tonight!"
"Did you also notice something wrong with the wind and rain?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Then let's go and take a look, maybe there will be some important clues!"
"it is good!"
The two of them flew to Fengyu's yard. The light in her room was still on so late. Ji Jiuying looked in through the window and saw Fengyu lying on the edge of the bed with her eyes open, wondering what she was thinking about.
There was a wave in the air, and two black figures appeared in the room, which really scared Feng Yu. Just when she was about to scream, Ji Jiuying pressed her acupoints.
The two men took off their masks, and Fengyu could finally see the faces of the people who came.
"Feng Yu, don't panic, it's us! We two are here just to ask you something." Ji Jiuying said.
Feng Yu nodded, and Ji Jiuying then untied her acupoints.
"Feng Yu, tell me honestly, have you discovered anything?" Wen Chuyu stepped forward and asked.
Fengyu lowered his eyes, wanting to say something but stopping himself!
"Is it because of Liu Piaopiao that you don't want to speak today?" Ji Jiuying paused for a moment and guessed.
Sure enough, Feng Yu was startled when he heard this. His expression changed several times, and finally he calmed down slowly. He thought for a long time and responded in a low voice. Then he said, "Half a quarter of an hour before Su Su came back last night, I seemed to hear some noises, and then I smelled a smell similar to the fragrance of medicine, but it quickly dissipated!"
"Liu Piaopiao seemed to have that smell today. I think the murderer of Susu is most likely Liu Piaopiao..." Feng Yu's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.
Hearing this, the two looked at each other in bewilderment. The murderer smelled like medicine? People who smelled like medicine were usually pharmacists or alchemists!
However, it might be difficult to find the murderer among thousands of people from Medicine Sect and Dan Sect!
Ji Jiuying looked at Fengyu in confusion. Why did Fengyu think that the murderer was Liu Piaopiao? Was there any other secret? "Liu Susu is Liu Piaopiao's sister. Why do you think that Liu Piaopiao killed Liu Susu?"
Feng Yu fell into deep thought again, and after a moment he spoke, "Everyone says that Liu Piaopiao and Liu Susu have a deep sisterly love, but that's actually not the case. The Liu family, the most aristocratic family in the Western Jin Dynasty, has always had women as the head of the family. Although Liu Piaopiao is the daughter of a legitimate wife and Susu is the daughter of a concubine, their family always decides who will be the next head of the family based on talent and strength."
“Liu Piaopiao has a good talent for alchemy, and Susu has a good talent for refining weapons. Both of them have the potential to become the next head of the family. They are showing their deep sisterly love in front of the world. The reason is that their mother, for the sake of the reputation and status of the first family, does not allow the news of their sisterly discord to spread, otherwise both of them will be disqualified from competing for the position of the head of the family!”
Sure enough, there was something behind this. After hearing this, Ji Jiuying also felt that Liu Piaopiao did have a motive to kill. If Liu Susu died accidentally, then she would be the only candidate for the position of head of the family. Considering that she had insisted from the beginning to the end that she had killed Liu Susu, did she want her to take the blame?
"Did Liu Susu tell you all this?" Wen Chuyu asked.
"Uh-huh!"
After receiving this news, due to time constraints, she had to divide the work with Wen Chuyu. Wen Chuyu went to keep an eye on Liu Piaopiao to see if there was anything suspicious, and she came to Feng Che's yard alone.
"Xiaojiu, you're finally here!"
"Second uncle, how is the matter I asked you to investigate going?" Ji Jiuying asked. After coming out of the lobby in the morning, Ji Jiuying sent a message to Feng Che, asking him to help investigate the matter between Liu Piaopiao and Liu Susu.
Feng Che told everything he had found out in Western Jin Dynasty, but he didn't expect it to be similar to what Feng Yu said. Soon, Ji Jiuying arrived in front of Liu Susu's yard, and there were a few more gatekeepers at the door.
The two looked at each other, dodged the people at the door and slipped into the room. Feng Che quickly formed a seal and set up a formation. Ji Jiuying then came to the corpse, lifted the white cloth and observed Liu Susu's body. The blood on her face had already coagulated, and she looked extremely horrifying!
Ji Jiuying stretched out her right hand and released her mental power at the same time, performing soul magic. Feng Che exclaimed in amazement again. Xiaojiu's soul magic was purer than last time!
Half an hour!
Liu Susu's soul floated out of her body, and her eyes still retained the look of fear before death. Ji Jiuying snapped her fingers, and Liu Susu's soul woke up instantly, "No... No! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
"Liu Susu!"
Ji Jiuying shouted, and Liu Susu came back to her senses and shouted in shock, "Ji Jiuying! It's you, why are you here! You are here to take revenge on me, right?"
