Liu Ji's expression became even more confusing. The chef recalled it carefully, as if he was remembering something, and murmured to himself: "But I marinated them a little in advance."

Liu Ji thought about it, and suddenly the expression on his face changed. He looked up at Xiang Ji, and Xiang Ji's expression suddenly became serious at this moment. The two of them stood up quickly and ran towards the well behind the inn.

There was no bottom in the well, but the sour smell gradually spreading from the wellhead made Liu Ji's face look ugly. He stared at the dark bottom of the well and said seriously and sadly: "It's the poison of the corpse."

Corpse poison is the venom secreted by the corpse after it decays. It will cause a disgusting and unpleasant smell when dissolved in the water. Liu Ji's face was gloomy and terrible. It seems that this young master Gu Yue was really not idle for a moment.

The corpse in the well was salvaged, and many onlookers surrounded the inn. There were three layers inside and three layers outside. Qi Lan heard a clamor outside the door early in the morning, so she pulled Yu Ruoyan downstairs and saw what it was. "Who is this... dead?" Qi Lan looked at the corpse next to the well in surprise. Liu Ji blocked her and did not let her move forward. She shook her head silently.

"It's a... child." Liu Ji said seriously.

The body that was salvaged was an eight- or nine-year-old child. His little body was soaked in the cold well water. He could no longer recognize his original appearance. Qi Lan looked at the small figure in shock, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground.

"The child...is just a child..."

Liu Ji gently hugged Qi Lan's trembling body in his arms, and his face was also very bad. What Mr. Gu Yue did was really outrageous. Not only did he kill people, but he even didn't let ordinary children go. Such cruelty and injustice are hateful.

A heart-wrenching cry came from beside the well. After hearing the news, the child's mother rushed over like crazy and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. The miserable sound broke through the sky, making people look sideways and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

Liu Ji gently helped Qi Lan up and took her away from here. The tragedy had already happened. No matter how sad it is, it would be useless.

When they returned to the inn, Xiang Ji and Yu Ruoyan had already come back first. They sat at the table without saying a word, and the tea cups on the table were empty. Qi Lan walked to the table silently and sat down.

None of the four spoke, and each of them had a gloomy face. After a while, Zhang Liang walked in from the door, looking very tired, and his hair was a little messy.

"How is the investigation?" Liu Ji asked hurriedly as soon as he saw Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang smiled with a bitter face, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all, licked his mouth and said, "This child is called Sier. His mother is an exiled beggar in the town. Because she looks a little pretty, she is often bullied. The child has no father, and his mother... so she always plays alone. He disappeared about three days ago. His mother thought Sier was just going out to play, so she didn't care much, but she didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect that such an accident would happen..." Qi Lan said deeply, covering her forehead and regretting it.

"Accident? This is not an accident." Zhang Liang looked at Qi Lan deeply and took out a small bag from his arms. The bag was stained with a trace of blood. Qi Lan hurriedly opened it and saw a short silver needle lying there quietly.

"Is this-?" Qi Lan asked curiously.

Zhang Liang replied heavily: "This was taken from the child's forehead. He died by the silver needle."

The air around suddenly became quiet, and everyone gasped. Qi Lan looked at Zhang Liang in surprise, as if she didn't understand his words. Zhang Liang paused, looked at Qi Lan and said seriously: "This Sier was thrown into the well after being killed."

Throw the body...kill the child?

Qi Lan's face turned pale, and a chilling sense of fear spread. Liu Ji had a gloomy face and murmured: "Is it Mr. Gu Yue again..."

Bang-

Xiang Ji slapped the table angrily and rushed to the death: "That cruel bastard is so crazy that he kills a child to threaten us."

"As long as we are still in Fengyi for one day, he will never let us go..." Liu Ji pondered: "We must find a way to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise that madman will definitely kill more people."

Zhang Liang was about to say something, but another person ran up at the door in a panic. When the man saw Zhang Liang, he was so anxious that he was out of breath: "Sir... A drowning child also appeared in the well east of the village!"

Zhang Liang was shocked and said nothing, so he hurriedly ran out. Liu Ji's face became even more terrifying. Without saying a word, he rushed out.

There were many people surrounding the east side of the village, and from time to time, miserable cries came, many people whispered and talked, pointing at the woman crying in the crowd.

Zhang Liang squeezed into the crowd and saw a woman holding the child in her arms that was no longer angry, crying heart-wrenchingly. Zhang Liang walked forward, and the woman hugged the child in her arms tightly, and retreated like crazy: "Don't touch my brother!"

Zhang Liang's hand stopped for a moment, stiffened for a while, and sighed helplessly: "Girl, the person in your arms is dead, why do you have to be so persistent?"

Bang-

As soon as he finished speaking, a five-finger mark appeared on Zhang Liang's face. The woman had tears on her face and hugged the child in her arms tremblingly: "You are talking nonsense! My brother, he just fell asleep, he will wake up! It will definitely be!"

Qi Lan followed, saw this and hurriedly pulled Zhang Liang away and checked the injuries on his face. Zhang Liang shook his head helplessly, indicating that Qi Lan didn't care. Liu Ji stepped forward slowly and looked at the hostile woman, and the cold air gradually appeared on his face.

"Your brother is dead. If you don't dare to face the facts, no one can force you!" Liu Ji said coldly.

"A Ji!" Qi Lan hurriedly wanted to stop Liu Ji, but was pulled by Zhang Liang. He shook his head helplessly and signaled Qi Lan not to interfere.

Liu Ji looked at the body of the child in the woman's arms and said in a deep voice: "If you want to avenge your brother, just cheer up. We will do our best to find out the murderer who killed your brother."

The woman's body trembled obviously, and her whole body became dull from hysteria, with a dull look on her eyes. Qi Lan endured the pain in her heart, walked forward silently, gently spread her hand, and took her away.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang walked up to him and gently pulled the body away. He fumbled on his forehead for a long time. As expected, he touched a short silver needle.

Liu Ji stared at the silver needle, and angered murderous intent flashed on his face, gritting his teeth and murmured: "Young Master Gu Yue..."
