"Six people died at once, it's so tragic..." Xingqiu sighed.

Chongyun took out a bunch of talismans from his pocket and said, "When we get there, everyone should carry these things with them to prevent the wronged spirits and evil ghosts from haunting us."

Old Meng took the case file in his hand and studied it carefully: "There were seven people in this family, and six of them died at once. I wonder what the remaining one is like now."

Zhongli sighed softly: "How pitiful..."

Ye Luo and Hu Tao rushed back from outside, and Ye Luo had a huge broad knife beside him.

Xingqiu took the initiative to greet them: "You are back, what is that in Young Master Ye Luo's hand?"

Ye Luo showed it to everyone: "I have never had a weapon that suits me, so I specially asked "Hanfeng Ironware" to make one for me, so that I won't be a drag when I fight with you in the future."

Walnut comforted him, "I told you a long time ago that you have never been a drag. Although you don't have the Eye of God, you can still use elemental power, right?"

Ye Luo really wanted to make it clear directly that what he used was not elemental power, but it was because of the system.

But on second thought, if I tell the truth, it would probably be even harder for people to believe.

After all, they have seen people who can use elemental power without the Eye of God, but they have never seen a time traveler with a system.

Lao Meng asked, "So, Master Hu, when do we set out?"

Walnut said: "Have you decided on the best route? Have you got everything you need? If everything is confirmed, the carriage will be parked outside and you can set off at any time."

Everyone answered in unison: "We are all ready."

Hu Tao smiled and said, "Okay, let's go. This time we have specially arranged for two large carriages, one that can accommodate everyone, and one that is specifically for pulling the coffin."

Ye Luo said: "I will sleep right away after I get on the bus. Please wait until the station arrives before calling me."

Walnut responded: "Don't worry, I won't disturb you."

"Wuwangpo" is not close to "Liyue Harbor". You need to go all the way north, cross the entire "Qiongji Wilderness", and pass through the "Stone Gate" to reach it.

The mountains were high and the roads were long. Ye Luo began to sleep as soon as he got on the car, ignoring his surroundings. Perhaps because he was too sleepy, he could not hear the voices of other people chatting. He leaned on Zhongli's shoulder, as if no one was around.

Zhongli sat upright in the car, his eyes closed, motionless, like a statue made of rock.

The other people chatted about this and that, and talked about all the interesting things that had happened in recent times from beginning to end.

It was not until we ran out of things to talk about that we finally brought the topic back to where we were going.

"It is said that this family's surname is Lin. They are well-known local wealthy businessmen. They have done a lot of good deeds over the years, providing relief to the people, supporting construction, building roads through mountains and bridges over rivers. They have truly done a lot for the development of Liyue."

At this point, Walnut sighed, "This time, it can be said that something unexpected happened. Six of the seven people in the family died suddenly. Although I don't know the cause of death, I really feel sorry for them."

Chongyun scratched his head: "I feel a little different. In addition to feeling pity, I also hope that nothing will happen and drag us into some inexplicable chaos again."

"but……"

Everyone looked at Ye Luo who was sleeping soundly in the mud, and their thoughts were self-evident.

Whenever Ye Luo is present, some evildoers will appear to disrupt the peace, and it will eventually turn into their crime investigation meeting.

Walnut comforted him, "I was only commissioned to handle the funeral. There shouldn't be any problems. After they are buried, it will be none of our business. We can go home peacefully."

"I hope so……"

After an hour's journey, the carriage finally arrived safely at "Wuwangpo". As soon as everyone got off the carriage, they saw people all over the mountains and plains, spontaneously wearing mourning clothes, and the sounds of suona and gongs and drums rose and fell.

Xiangling couldn't help but be surprised: "Oh my god, these are all Mr. Lin, his relatives, this family is quite big."

Old Meng scratched his head in surprise: "That's not right. According to my previous investigation, the Lin family has no relatives except the seven people we know."

Zhongli said: "In fact, it is impossible to think about it. This population base is comparable to the population of the entire Wuwangpo."

Chongyun volunteered: "It's not that hard to figure out. I can just go and ask."

Several people waited for news from Chongyun on the spot. Not long after, Chongyun returned along the same route and brought back the truth.

"How to say?"

"This population is of course comparable to the population of Wuwangpo, because these people are originally from Wuwangpo, and they came out spontaneously to mourn the Lin family."

"So that's how it is..." Everyone suddenly realized.

Hu Tao said, "I've heard that Mr. Lin, who was born into a business family, did a lot of practical things for the local people at his own expense, and made great contributions to the development of Wuwangpo. Even though he has passed away, the local people are still willing to see him off. This is also a kind of human touch."

Ye Luo was puzzled: "But, how come six out of seven people in this happy family died overnight? This is really a sudden disaster."

Hu Tao shook her head: "Who knows? I just feel pity for him now, and I think this is a case of good people not getting rewarded."

Xiangling also spread her hands and shook her head: "But the dead cannot be resurrected. Fortunately, the people here will always remember this good man who has done a lot for them."

Walnut said, "There is no time to lose. Let's set off now and bury them as soon as possible so that their souls can rest in peace as soon as possible."

Ye Luo followed at the end of the team, looked around, and saw local residents in mourning clothes everywhere, and sighed softly.

The group arrived at the Lin family's courtyard and saw a shocking scene before them.

The entire yard, except for the walls that appear neat and gorgeous when viewed from the outside, the scene inside is astonishing.

All the walls in the yard were charred black, all the plants in the yard turned to dust, the ground cracked and collapsed, and even the small pond in the yard was covered with ashes.

The huge building is now reduced to collapsed ruins with broken walls and broken buildings.

And it can be seen at a glance that these buildings collapsed after being burned by a fire. The interior has been completely burned out, and all that is left is soil and sand that cannot be completely burned.

"This is..." Ye Luo couldn't help but frown.

Zhongli hesitated for a moment and said, "It was caused by a fire. I see..."
