The Ximen family's mansion.

The head of the family, Ximen Xiaofan, sat on a chair, looked at Zhou Wu and his eldest son Ximen Qing, and said:

"So this is how Ronger died?"

Ximen Qing said: "Father, I think it was the man named Shangguan Ze who did it. Rongmei is usually in good health. Why did she suddenly fall into coma and die after she got into an argument with him?"

Ximen Xiaofan thought for a while and said: "Qing'er, go find the pawn shop and check if Rong'er has been poisoned, and then send the law enforcement team to surround the pawn shop and not allow anyone to enter or exit alone. Find out everyone who went to the pawn shop this afternoon."

Ximen Xiaofan looked at Zhou Wu again: "Xiao Zhou, please explain it to me in detail again."

Ximen Qing said: "Father, Rong'er is dead, why can't you leave a whole body for burial?"

Ximen Xiaofan replied in a deep voice: "Silly, do you know how many people are eyeing my position? This matter must be investigated clearly."

Ximen Qing nodded in agreement and went down to do some work.

With these arrangements, the entire Ximen Mansion was filled with a tense and busy atmosphere.

Half an hour later, Wu Zuo knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Wu Zuo first saluted respectfully, and then introduced Ximen Rong’s autopsy results:

"According to a careful examination of the lady's body, it was found that the head of the lady's body was swollen and her face was purple. After incising the scalp, it was found that there was a blood clot in the brain."

"In addition, the lady's tongue is dark purple and the blood vessels under the tongue are distended, which are also signs of internal blood stasis."

"The cause of the lady's death was that emotional excitement led to the reverse flow of Qi and blood, which caused the blood vessels in the brain to rupture and lead to death."

Ximen Xiaofan said: "There are no traces of poisoning?"

Wu Zuo replied: "It has not been detected."

Ximen Xiaofan frowned and sighed deeply.

His eyes were heavy, reflecting the confusion and contemplation in his heart. He said slowly: "Death due to excitement... This is really unbelievable. Although Ronger is usually impatient, he will not die because of it."

Wu Zuo lowered his head respectfully and replied: "Sir, I have carefully checked according to routine procedures and found no signs of poison. The cause of the lady's death does seem to be caused by extreme emotional fluctuations."

Ximen Xiaofan nodded and said, "Step back."

"Shangguan Ze? Is it really such a coincidence?"

While Ximen Xiaofan was thinking hard, Lei Ze was very happy in the pawn shop.

Lei Ze looked at a book on the table.

This book has been around for half a millennium. Its cover is worn almost beyond recognition, and what might have been a bright or delicate pattern is now reduced to vague outlines and mottled colors.

The corners of the book are turned over, revealing layers of yellow pages, as fragile as withered leaves.

Some pages have stuck together due to long-term moisture and mildew, and you need to be extremely careful when flipping them to avoid causing more damage.

The writing has become illegible in some parts because the ink has faded, but some of the writing is clearly visible.

Lei Ze opened it carefully and began to read:

"In the 500th year of the Cangyan Dynasty, my daughter was born, and I named her..."

"In the 505th year of the Cangyan Dynasty, there was a severe drought and the people were in dire straits..."

"..."

Xianmeng asked doubtfully: "Brother Xianren, you bought this shop just to read the diaries of these mortals. What's so interesting about this? Can this thing be pawned? How much can it be sold for?"

Lei Ze raised his head and looked at Xianmeng with a smile, a deep light shining in his eyes. He said: "History is always written by the victors. The history you can see has been modified by countless people."

Lei Ze continued: "These diaries of mortals are the carriers that record the truest face of the world. They record the daily lives of ordinary people, their sorrows and joys, and even the customs and changes of that era."

The general said: "Master, I see that many people have come outside since just now and surrounded this shop. Could it be because of Ximen Rong in the afternoon? That woman is so annoying."

Lei Ze said calmly: "Don't worry, the head of the Ximen family should have some brains, and they should leave after a while."

Xianmeng and the general were both puzzled. They asked: "Brother Xianren (master), why?"

Lei Ze gently closed the page and explained: "Do you know how this Ximen Rong died?"

Xianmeng nodded: "My consciousness can vaguely see that the blood vessels in her brain were ruptured before she fell into coma."

Lei Ze said: "Yes, let me popularize some knowledge for you. These pirates have really made great contributions. First of all, how does the blood of our body flow into the whole body?"

The general said: "Because the beating of the heart drives the blood flow throughout the body."

Lei Ze nodded: "Then the place where blood flows, we used to call it blood vessels, right. But I dissected those pirates and found that the place where blood flows is actually like pipes. I call them blood vessels."

"Vessels?" the general repeated.

Reiser said: "Yes, it is through these tubes that the heart flows blood throughout the body."

"When a person is emotionally excited, the heart will beat faster and the blood will flow faster. But what will happen if the blood vessels cannot withstand the fast flow of blood and burst?"

"If the burst blood vessel happens to be in the head, where is the Niwan Palace?"

"So, I only need to use my Qi to control a small blood vessel of Ximen Rong, and gently open a small opening without breaking it. When Ximen Rong gets excited, hehe..."

The general was surprised and said: "Master, you are so sinister."

Xian Meng wondered again: "Then why did the Ximen family retreat?"

Lei Ze said: "The Ximen family, with their hands and eyes, will definitely find someone to do an autopsy. Then he will find out how her daughter died."

"But how could a perfectly normal person be so angry to death over such a big deal?"

"So someone must be behind it, but who can kill someone without any trauma or even contact?"

"Now, in the eyes of the head of the Ximen family, we must have expert help behind us. Anyone who can climb to this position knows who can be messed with and who can't be messed with."

Xianmeng was confused: "But doesn't this expose us? And he loves his daughter so much."

Lei Ze said: "Don't worry, this guy knows what he can and can't do, otherwise his huge family business will be ruined. People who can climb to this position know when to stop losses in time."

"Moreover, if their entire family is wiped out at this time, it will arouse suspicion even more."

"However, the head of the Ximen family still needs to be beaten."
