On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1629 Confession Bureau

Li Sugui took over the conversation.

"We saw that the carriage was smashed and several bodies were broken into pieces on the ground."

"We were also shocked at the time. We have never encountered anything like this in all the years we have lived in this area."

Li Wanglin said in a low voice: "We wanted to leave at that time, but we were worried that if we left like this, passers-by would be shocked the next day, so we thought about cleaning up the scene."

"But when I counted them, I found that two bodies were missing."

Huo Changhe frowned: "Two are missing?"

"Yes, but I don't know which two are missing because they were so badly damaged that I couldn't see their faces at all."

"It was dark, and we were really nervous when we first saw that kind of situation."

"I can only judge from the number that two bodies are missing," Li Wanglin's face turned pale and he clenched his hands unconsciously. "Later, I accidentally looked up and saw... two bodies on the tree."

Just by listening to his narration without seeing the scene, Huo Changhe felt it was a bit weird.

It was the dead of night, the scene was horrific and bloody, and there were still two bodies missing. If I looked up again, they would be hanging above my head.

Anyone would be shocked.

Yan Ruyu recalled the clues they had found when searching on the cliff.

"The man has a big beard, and the woman is missing half an ear."

"Yes, that's right," Li Wanglin was slightly surprised, "You know this too?"

Yan Ruyu didn't comment: "Go on."

"My father went up to get the bodies down, and then we took the bodies away together. We were really worried that if other people saw them, it would cause panic."

Li Sugui took over and said, "When we finished our work, it was almost dawn. We thought it was just an accident and it was over, but we didn't expect..."

"The next morning, a guest left the inn. Not long after, we heard that someone had died there, and there were also ghost cries and other things."

"We were also shocked at the time, so we took people to check, and sure enough, we saw that the people who left the inn had died there. The cause of death was different from that of the six people, and each one was different."

Li Sugui looked at Huo Changhe and said, "I'm sure you all saw the corpse."

There were a lot of people watching at the time, and he guessed that Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe would not miss it.

"One after another, things kept happening. At the same time, someone mentioned those six people. I was worried that my identity would be discovered, so I came up with a plan. I found six people who deserved to die, killed them, destroyed their faces, and then replaced them with the clothes of the original six people."

Li Sugui sighed softly: "This is the whole story."

Huo Changhe pondered, "Where's the horse?"

Li Sugui was stunned, and looked at Li Wanglin: "What horse?"

"The carriage," Yan Ruyu said, "you said the carriage was broken and the people were dead, but where is the horse?"

The father and son were stunned for a while. They had never thought about or noticed this problem.

Li Wanglin hesitated and said, "I didn't notice that. I was only concerned with the corpse and clearing the rubble. The horse... maybe it ran away at that time?"

Li Sugui nodded: "I really didn't pay attention to this."

"It ran away," Yan Ruyu asked, "but did you hear any horse neighing?"

"The valley was silent at the time. If the horses were neighing, startled, or ran away, how could there be no sound?"

The father and son looked at each other and shook their heads: "Indeed not."

"Besides, the stone could smash the carriage to pieces and even the person to pieces, so how did the horse escape?"

Faced with Yan Ruyu's question, the two fell silent again.

It really doesn’t make sense, but I certainly didn’t pay attention at the time.

"This..." Li Sugui hesitated, "We were so nervous and busy dealing with the corpse that we didn't pay attention to the horse."

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly: "Let's not talk about the horse first, then, what about the stone?"

"The stones are just some rubble, and we have cleared them away," said Li Wanglin.

Huo Changhe narrowed his eyes slightly. "How big would a rock have to be to kill six people and smash the carriage? Gravel? Can you two handle it?"

"Even if the stone falls to the ground and breaks into pieces, it won't break into very small pieces. I don't need to explain this to you, right?" Yan Ruyu asked.

Li Wanglin and Li Sugui were speechless again.

As they were talking, Ma Liyu and Yinding arrived.

As soon as she saw Ma Liyu, Yan Ruyu knew that the matter was settled.

"My Lord, Princess, bring the person here."

"Bring these two here, and leave the others in the backyard so as not to alarm others."

"Yes."

Ma Liyu turned around and went out again, and soon brought Zheng Qing and Wu Da in.

Upon seeing the two of them, Li Sugui was shocked again: "You..."

"They are fake monks," Huo Changhe said coldly, "Did you ask them to help?"

Li Sugui sighed heavily, as if he had accepted his fate: "Indeed, they are Li Wu's friends. Since they have no hair, I thought of letting them pretend to be monks."

Li Wanglin pursed his lips and said, "My father was trying to appease people, not to deceive people intentionally. He took the bodies away to bury them properly, not to just throw them away. He would not let them lie in the wilderness."

Zheng Qing knew that he had failed to live up to his friend's trust and felt very ashamed: "Yes, Brother Li did instruct us to treat these bodies well and not to dispose of them casually. We also dug a pit."

He glanced at Ma Liyu: "This brother knows."

Ma Liyu glanced at him and asked, "Who is your brother?"

But he still nodded to Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu asked: "Li Sugui, besides these, what else are you hiding?"

Li Sugui was stunned: "Nothing else."

Yan Ruyu stared at him for a long while: "Really?"

"Really not." Li Sugui raised his hand, "I swear to God."

"Don't say such empty words," Yan Ruyu said with a hint of sarcasm, "How about reporting to the police?"

"Oh, I really didn't report that matter to the authorities," Li Sugui said truthfully. "I never intended to report it from the beginning. Those people in the government are no good. They are always greedy for money and only care about their own interests. Who would be willing to work for the people?"

"If I report it to the police, they will either delay the visit and not care about it, or they will investigate everything and ask questions. Maybe my inn will be forcibly closed."

"I don't mind. It's just less business, but I won't starve. But the customers passing by will have nowhere to stay here, and the road may even be closed because of this."

Li Wanglin said: "There was a similar incident before. There was a heavy rain and a tree and rocks fell down. We reported it to the authorities, but they took several days to come. They asked us questions and even suspected that we were vandalizing the area. They fined us thirty taels of silver."

"They also blocked the road and many people were stranded here."

Yan Ruyu looked at their expressions and it didn't seem like they were lying. Of course, there was no need to lie about these things, such as criticizing the government.

This is not what Yan Ruyu wanted to ask mainly.

It’s about the place where the corpses were placed and the formation.

Li Sugui did not mention a word.
