"If that's the case, then why don't we run away?"

"You are just looking for trouble."

Leng Yi said with a doting look on his face.

No matter what Lin Xiyao said, even if she said the world was about to be destroyed, he believed it.

"What are you running for?"

"The Li family has not paid the price for what they did to you and your brother."

Thinking of the suffering her brother had endured at the hands of Li Cangnan, Lin Xiyao's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Moreover, she had checked and found that the first batch of Red Shadow research projects were carried out with the strong support of the Li family and the Gu family.

Li Cangnan took the back door and participated as an ordinary researcher.

Many years later, he left the institute and established his own research institute in the Lindong gathering place.

She will not let go of anyone who hurts Leng Yi and her brother.

Feeling the murderous intent from Lin Xiyao, Leng Yi was stunned.

"Are you going to attack the four major families?"

"how?"

Lin Xiyao raised her eyebrows and asked back.

With Leng Yi's strength, it shouldn't be difficult for him to take revenge.

But she always felt that Leng Yi seemed to have some reservations and had been hesitating, which was why the four major families had been suppressing him.

"fine."

"Lin Xiyao, can you promise me that you won't touch the Luo family?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Leng Yi spoke.

"Luo family?"

"Are you reluctant to part with Luo's fiancée?"

When the Luo family was mentioned, Lin Xiyao thought of the weird brother and sister. She couldn't help but feel angry and her voice became a little colder.

"No."

"It was the old man of the Luo family who saved me back then. I promised him that I would never harm the Luo family."

Leng Yi hurried to explain.

"talk later."

Lin Xiyao no longer wanted to continue the conversation and quickly ended the topic.

Just then, several conversations were heard from the next table.

"Have you heard? The Shen family is going to marry the Gu family."

"Marriage? Could it be Shen Nanxing?"

"That's right. Didn't you notice? None of the three major families came to this trade fair."

“Those who come here are some branches.”

"I heard that they are preparing for the wedding..."

"Are you in such a hurry? Which daughter of the Gu family is Shen Nanxing going to marry?"

"The red shadow of the Gu family - Gu Jia."

"..."

Hearing such explosive gossip, Lin Xiyao's heart tightened and her expression suddenly became solemn.

Isn’t Gu Jia dead?

She pierced Gu Jia's heart with her own hands, there was no way she could survive.

How is this going?

Leng Yi also looked thoughtful.

Sudden.

"Oh no, the master of the family is dead in the room."

A maid ran into the banquet hall with a panicked look on her face, shouting loudly.

In an instant, everyone looked over.

Are you kidding me?

Wasn't the Li family's Patriarch welcoming guests at the door just now? How come he was gone in the blink of an eye?

Does this mean we have to eat the banquet on the spot?

"What are you talking about?"

"Captain Li, it's true, the head of the family..."

The maid replied tremblingly, shaking with fear.

"Go away."

"You guys...come with me to take a look."

Li Xing'an pushed the maid away fiercely and hurried out of the banquet hall with several bodyguards.

The heads of various families followed closely, hoping to watch a good show.

"Let's go, the show is about to begin."

Lin Xiyao pulled Leng Yi and chased after him excitedly.

Leng Yi: “…”

Lin Xiyao actually guessed it right.

Something went wrong.

……

In the bedroom of the master of the Li family, several servants collapsed at the door, frightened out of their wits.

"what is going on?"

Li Xing'an walked quickly to the door, grabbed a servant by the collar, and questioned him fiercely.

"Captain Li, we don't know either."

"After the master went in, we stayed outside, but he didn't come out for a long time, so we..."

The servant replied in a trembling voice, too scared to look Li Xingan in the eyes.

"No one has been in there?"

"I promise, absolutely not."

The servant assured loudly.

"Could it be that the zombie pet did it?"

Thinking of this, Li Xing'an instantly transferred his anger to Qi Nan.

He turned around with a gloomy expression, pounced on Qi Nan who was beside him, and punched Qi Nan in the face with a heavy punch.

"Boom."

"Didn't you say that the zombie pet wouldn't attack or hurt humans?"

"In that room, there was only the owner and the zombie pet."

Li Xingan roared loudly.

Qi Nan was beaten so hard that he saw stars and his mind went blank, unable to utter a single word.

Seeing this, Qi Nan's assistant rushed forward anxiously and pulled Li Xing'an hard.

"Let go of the Second Young Master, Captain Li, calm down. It is impossible that zombies killed the head of the Li family..."

"Yeah, let's go see what's going on in there first."

Someone spoke up to persuade him.

Only then did Li Xing'an angrily let go of Qi Nan and rushed into the bedroom.

"Second Master, are you okay?"

Looking at the swollen cheek and blood at the corner of his mouth, the assistant helped Qi Nan up with a look of heartache.

His young master is a weak scholar, how could he withstand a punch from Li Xing'an?

"I'm fine, go check it out."

"Second Young Master, let's leave here and go back to the headquarters."

"Li Xing'an is a rude and reckless man. What if he gets violent towards you again..."

The assistant urged.

Qi Nan was very persistent. He had to go and see what happened to his zombie pet.

As soon as I entered the room, a strong smell of blood hit me.

Old man Li fell in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

The glass display cabinet is placed in the most conspicuous position in the room.

Stimulated by the smell of blood, the female zombie became extremely violent and kept banging her head against the glass.

blood.

food.

delicious food.

"Hooho-"

There was a ferocious beast-like gleam in the female zombie's eyes. She opened her bloody mouth wide, revealing a set of sharp fangs.

This scene is no different from the zombies outside.

Of course, no one was paying attention to her at the moment, and everyone's eyes were on the head of the Li family.

He was wearing a black and gray Chinese robe, his walking stick fell to the side, and there was a deep knife wound on his neck that could be seen to the bone.

Kill with one knife.

It’s obvious that this was not done by zombies.

"Did everyone see that? The zombie is still locked in the display case. It didn't kill anyone at all."

Qi Nan pointed at the knife wound and clarified it impatiently.

He knows his pet best.

If it was really it, the wounds on the Li family patriarch's body would not be knife wounds, but bite marks.

"What Professor Qi said makes a lot of sense."

"But who killed the old patriarch?"

Everyone said in agreement.

"I will definitely find the murderer."

"Go and see if the thief came in through the window."

Li Xingan gave the order in a cold voice.

The Li family's bodyguards immediately moved, searching for clues in the room.

But the result...

"Captain, the window is intact and there is no sign of it being opened."

A few minutes later, the bodyguard reported.

"No trace? How is that possible? Have you checked it out?"

"I checked it several times."

"Depend on."

Hearing this, Li Xing'an clenched his hands and his face turned ashen.

It wasn't the female zombie's doing. The window wasn't open and no one came in.

So, who killed the owner of the house? Murder in a closed room?

Everyone looked puzzled.

It's rare.

Could it be that the head of the Li family committed suicide?

But when I thought about it carefully, I felt that it was impossible. He had no reason to commit suicide.

It's really puzzling.

Lin Xiyao looked around. As a police academy student, she had a machine-like keen insight and quickly discovered the abnormality.

Lin Xiyao looked up and saw that there was a gap in the ceiling of the room that was not covered tightly.
