Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 229 Lotus Tower (32)

After the old man left, Li Xiangyi turned around and questioned Fang Duobing, "Do you have any clues about the case of the second young lady of Yucheng? You just meddle in other people's business all day long."

Hearing this, Fang Duobing instantly felt that the sweet and delicious peach in his hand became bland and tasteless. He muttered listlessly as if he was an eggplant hit by frost: "No~ I have no idea at all."

At this time, Ji Xiao was sitting quietly aside, flipping through the book in her hand. She didn't even raise her head, her eyes were always focused on the pages, and she said lightly: "If that's the case, then how can you still have the heart to help others?"

Facing Ji Xiao's questioning, Fang Duobing showed a trace of shame on his face, and explained in a low voice: "It was just a coincidence... I can't just stand by and watch, right?"

The two had nothing to say about this. The reason why they were so tolerant of each other's illness was because although the other party was a little silly, at least he was a simple person.

But even so, Ji Xiao had no intention of letting Fang Duobing go. She continued to ask, "The Lord of Yucheng is the second young lady's biological sister. According to common sense, she would definitely send someone to investigate the matter. But why is there still no clue until now? Could it be that the murderer is hiding in the Lord's Mansion? Or is the person in charge of investigating the case the murderer himself?"

After hearing what was said, Duobing suddenly became enlightened. He swallowed the few peaches in his hand in two or three bites, then stood up excitedly and said loudly: "Yes, if it was not killed by outsiders, then it is very likely that it was done by insiders! Without further ado, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion right now!"

When Fang Duobing was about to leave everyone's sight, Li Xiangyi hurriedly called him and reminded him, "Be sure to inform the people at the Supervisory Office about this!"

Hearing this, Fang Duobing, who had not yet walked far, quickly turned back and replied, "I know, I naturally know, you can just put your mind at ease!"

Fang Duobing rushed to the gate of the city lord's mansion without stopping. After explaining the reason for his visit to the guards at the gate, he entered the mansion smoothly.

He walked quickly towards where the city lord was. After seeing the city lord himself, he asked directly about the progress of the investigation into the case.

Faced with Fang Duobing's sudden visit, the city lord did not seem surprised, but showed a little impatience on his face. He said that he had already sent a special commissioner to investigate the case, but there was still no clue so far.

Fang Duobing immediately expressed his inner doubts and speculations - perhaps there was a suspicion that someone inside the city guards had committed the crime!

The city lord frowned slightly when she heard this, but her face still showed an indifferent and even impatient expression. However, after some thought, she finally nodded, expressing her willingness to fully assist and cooperate with Fang Duobing in conducting an in-depth investigation of the case.

However, Lord Yucheng also emphasized that he was extremely busy with government affairs, so he could only give Fang Duobing one day to investigate the case and would send a subordinate to assist him. Fang Duobing nodded in understanding and agreed.

With the help of that person, Fang Duobing carefully examined the crime scene and various related evidence. As the investigation progressed, a series of strange and puzzling signs gradually surfaced.

These discoveries deepened Fang Duobing's doubts, and at the same time made him more convinced of his initial guess - there must be a huge secret behind this case!

Therefore, Fang Duobing decided to shift the focus of the investigation to the people inside the City Lord's Mansion. After a long search and investigation, he finally successfully collected all the evidence that might be useful.

At this moment, Lord Yucheng, who had been urging him, could no longer hold back his temper and ordered Fang Duobing to quickly gather the relevant personnel.

After everyone gathered together, Fang Duobing began to speak slowly and recounted all the clues related to the case that he had obtained so far.
