Chapter 20: The Whole Story

  Remember in one second, wonderful internet for free!

  Hearing Yitian's words, Heiniu was still bewildered, but seeing Yitian walking quickly away, he also followed.

  "Yi Tian, when you see that female ghost again, are you sure you can subdue her?" Hei Niu asked worriedly.

  At these words, Yi Tian furrowed his brow and said: "You don't believe in my strength, that is, you don't believe in the ability of my master. My master has killed countless people, if he heard this sentence..."

  But before Yi Tian could finish speaking, Hei Niu hastily responded: "Alright, alright, I believe you, isn't that enough?" Then he muttered under his breath: "Where did he find this murderous master? His temper is also too bad."

  "What did you say?" Yi Tian glared and asked.

  "No, nothing, haha, I mean you have such a master is simply too good!"

  Then the two came to the door of that yin-qi overflowing room, and Black Bull asked: "Are we going to directly break in and kill our way in?"

  "What's with all the killing? As the Art of War says, 'Attack by strategem', you see mine!"

  Upon hearing this, Hei Niu thought that Yi Tian had come up with some kind of trick and looked at him with great interest to see how he would break in next.

  Just as he was staring intently at Yi Tian, Yi Tian raised his right hand high and knocked gently on the door, saying politely: "Sister, I'm sorry today, I didn't understand the situation and hit you, we already know what happened to you, we're here to help you clear your name, can we come in?"

  "Hmph..." Hei Niu held his breath and concentrated for half a day, but he never thought that Yi Tian would suddenly come up with these few sentences. However, seeing Yi Tian stick the Kaiyuan Tongbao to his earlobe, he followed suit.

  "Come in!" A woman's crisp voice rang out.

  Yi Tian smiled at Heiniu and said, "How's that? Am I very powerful?" As he spoke, he used force to open the tightly locked door.

  "Cut, I will too!" Black Bull said with a disgruntled tone.

  "Alright then, you first!" Yi Tian made a gesture for Hei Niu to enter first.

  The black cow didn't say a word, but its head shook like a rattle drum.

  After the two entered the dark room, through the effect of Kaiyuan Tongbao, they saw a tall and slender young woman in her early twenties. Unlike the fierce female ghost with sharp teeth and claws imagined, she looked very fresh and elegant. If you didn't know she was a ghost, you would think an extremely beautiful girl was standing in front of you.

  The female ghost wore a pair of black cotton boots, red long pants and a white printed sweater. When she saw Yi Tian and the two men, especially Yi Tian, there was some panic in her eyes, constantly retreating backwards.

  The black cow also saw the female ghost's fearful expression and asked Yi Tian: "Brother, is this really a female ghost?"

  "Nonsense, if it's not a ghost, then it's still human!" He immediately turned his head and said to the female ghost: "Sister, don't be afraid, we won't harm you. I know that you were wronged by someone and your grievances are full, so you haven't gone to the underworld for reincarnation. Now that I've found out, I absolutely won't sit idly by. Whatever injustice you have, just speak out and let the person who harmed you receive their due punishment!"

  "You... will you really help me?" The female ghost asked tearfully.

  Before Yi Tian could speak, Hei Niu interrupted and said: "Sister, don't worry, I swear to help you avenge!"

  At this time, the black cow had no trace of fear, especially when he saw such a beautiful woman, his heart was jumping wildly and he felt a sense of pity and trepidation.

  Upon hearing Hei Niu's words, the female ghost finally couldn't hold back her suppressed emotions and burst into tears. "Thank you, thank you... I was killed by Zhang Wangjie!"

  "Hei Niu exclaimed in shock: "What? San Shu?" Then he immediately reacted, furrowing his brow and angrily saying: "No, it's that bastard Zhang Lao San!"

  Yi Tian nodded thoughtfully, secretly thinking that it was just as he had guessed. He then asked: "Sister, can you tell us more about it? This way we'll have a lead and evidence, and the police can solve the case quickly!"

  The female ghost nodded slightly and said: "Okay, my name is Liu Yingying. I live at No. 13 Liuxi Road, Town South. After graduating from university, I heard that the town government was recruiting people, but my family didn't have any connections, so it was quite difficult to get in. Through someone's introduction, I got to know Ma Gong. He said he had a way to help me, on the condition that I become his girlfriend, but I didn't agree."

  Later, he changed his mind and asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend so that he could save face. As a result, during a dinner, Zhang Lao San got drunk and made a move on me, Ma Gan helped me out of the situation by arguing with him, and Zhang Lao San even scolded Ma Gan as a eunuch, it was quite a big deal at the time.

  "I had been waiting for so long, but the village chief kept putting me off, telling me to wait a bit longer, saying that he had already spent money to find someone and was in the process of handling it. But one day, Zhang Lao Wu found out about my situation and came to see me, saying that he had invited the town government leaders to his home for dinner and asked me to go over for an interview. At first, I wasn't quite sure if I should believe him, but thinking about how big of a business he was running at his house, and it being daytime too, I followed him over."

  "As soon as we entered the room, Zhang Laowu's pager received a message. He said he had to go pick up the town leader and told me to wait for him, but after he left, he never came back."

  "When I was waiting in the room, Zhang Lao San suddenly saw me. At first, everything was fine, but after a few words, he closed the door and wanted to...to do that to me. I couldn't resist, so I cried out loudly. He then covered my mouth and strangled me to death..."

  By this time, Liu Yinyin was already sobbing uncontrollably, feeling infinitely wronged.

  Yitian and Heiniu exclaimed in unison: "Bastard!"

  Liu Yingying slightly calmed down, and then said: "After my soul left my body, I saw Zhang Lao San take my body away in the middle of the night and bury it in a mountain valley in Bei Shan. Then I followed him back, absorbing his yang energy every day and letting yin energy enter his body to exact revenge! Later, it was for Zhang Lao Wu's funeral that I ran into you guys."

  Yi Tian felt something was off, "The mountain pass of Beishan? Isn't that where Zhang Lao Wu's tomb is?"

  Yi Tian furrowed his brow and asked, "You saw Zhang Lao San bury your body with your own eyes, so he didn't do anything to you afterwards, did he?"

  "What's wrong?" Liu Yinyin asked in puzzlement.

  "Oh, nothing, I was just casually asking." Yi Tian's face suddenly turned ugly.

  The black cow beside him was busy putting the Kaiyuan Tongbao in front of his eyes, then at the base of his ears, and hearing this, he also furrowed his brow. Seeing Yi Tian looking at him with a profound gaze, he didn't say much.

  "How did Lao Wu die? Do you know?" Yi Tian continued to ask.

  "He left and never came back, I didn't know what happened to him until he died. It seems like she remembered something, Liu Yinyin continued: "Right, that time when we were drinking, Ma Gang got drunk, it was me who sent him home, at that time he was still mumbling about wanting to kill Zhang Lao Wu, I was confused back then, the argument between him and Zhang Lao San wasn't even with Zhang Lao Wu, besides, Zhang Lao Wu wasn't even there that time!"

  Yi Tian pieced together Liu Yingying's words and connected them to the events that had occurred earlier, guessing that Ma Gong was actually the real killer of Zhang Laowu.

  As Black Cow said before, these two people were very good friends, but at Zhang Lao Wu's funeral, Ma Gou's sinister and venomous gaze was unmistakable. What exactly happened between them?

  There is another point, Liu Yinying didn't even know that her own body was dismembered, which means this wasn't done by Zhang Lao San either. Could it be that Ma Gun did it? This is extremely possible!

  Perhaps Ma Gao discovered that Zhang Lao San killed Liu Yingying, and then used this to blackmail him for 300,000. However, Zhang Lao San kept pushing it off, so Ma Gao wanted to teach Zhang Lao San a lesson.

  At this point, Yi Tian said: "When you were killed by Zhang Lao San in the room at that time, was there any evidence left in the room?"

  "Evidence?" After a moment's thought, Liu Yinyin sighed softly: "Zhang Lao San tidied up the room again and burned all possible evidence that might have been left behind!"

  Suddenly, she thought of something and said nervously: "Right, there's an aquarium in that room. Before Zhang Lao San arrived, I was watching the goldfish when a yellow button on my sweater fell off inside. It was this very button from the sweater I'm wearing."

  Yi Tian furrowed his brow as he looked at Liu Yingying's sweater and said, "This kind of button doesn't have any special features, it's no different from ordinary buttons. How can it prove that it's yours?"

  Liu Yingying hastily replied, "There's a difference, these buttons were polished by my older brother when he worked at the plastics factory, and my mom sewed them on for me. They even have the letters of my name engraved on them!"

  After some analysis, Yi Tian felt that the evidence was insufficient to prove that Liu Yinyin was killed by Zhang Lao San. To convict Zhang Lao San based solely on a button with letters engraved on it seemed a bit too naive.

  Zhang Laowu's death was a result of his own doing. He must have had ulterior motives for luring Liu Yingying to the Zhang residence. But Liu Yingying was different, a young woman several years older than himself brutally murdered, it was truly unjust.

  Yi Tian sank into thought for a moment, as if making a decision, and clenched his fists tightly. His eyes narrowed slightly as he muttered to himself, "Hmph, Zhang Lao San, since that's the case, I'll give you a taste of your own medicine! Let's have a good fight!"
