Chapter 334: Chapter 334: These three did not die from knife wounds, but from Poisonous Insect Poison.

All along the way, Liu Yan’s mind was busy guessing the identity of this person.

The Grandmaster, however, didn’t even ask, his expression unchanged, as if he hadn’t noticed that the butler’s face had turned deathly pale.

In the front hall of the Grandmaster Residence, Qi Yu took the tea presented by a servant and took a sip.

Liu Wensheng took a seat next to her, his expression emotionless, merely closing his eyes without revealing any joy or sorrow.

His face had changed long ago, so it was normal that the servants of the Grandmaster Residence didn’t recognize him.

But just now, Liu Shun had recognized his identity at a glance.

He didn’t know whether to praise his sharp eyes or to think that the Human Skin Mask on his own face was not adequate.

However, returning to the Grandmaster Residence after many years, he didn’t intend to remain hidden; he would reclaim everything the Liu Family had inflicted on him and his mother.

The footsteps grew closer, and he slowly opened his eyes, looking towards the front left.

The Grandmaster walked with steady steps, supported by the butler, and Liu Yan followed behind, his head down, seemingly contemplating something.

Upon entering, both greeted Qi Yu first, and then, turned their gazes towards him.

Seeing an unfamiliar face, Liu Yan frowned.

He thought to himself, although this man looked unfamiliar, he somehow felt a sense of familiarity.

It was indeed strange.

The Grandmaster’s expression didn’t change, but he merely nodded slightly towards Liu Wensheng, speaking in a very polite tone, "This must be the highly skilled individual mentioned by Princess Qiu."

Liu Wensheng didn’t know what script Qi Yu had arranged for him, but given this person’s unpredictable nature, he was already well-prepared.

Thus, hearing this remark, he merely raised his eyebrows, saying in a detached tone, "The Grandmaster flatters me."

The Grandmaster stared at his face for a while, his eyes flickering, but didn’t say anything.

Liu Yan’s sense of strangeness didn’t fade, and after a moment, he asked, "May I know the gentleman’s honored surname and esteemed name?"

Liu Wensheng looked at him, chuckled lightly, and said, "My esteemed surname is Liu."

He deliberately didn’t reveal his own name, wanting to see when the Liu Family would guess the truth.

He couldn’t wait to see their faces filled with shock and panic.

A trace of surprise flickered through Liu Yan’s eyes, "What a coincidence?"

Though many people bore the surname Liu, he felt that Qi Yu bringing this man before them was not without a hidden purpose.

Liu Wensheng curled his lips, speaking in a nonchalant tone, "Perhaps it’s fate."

Liu Yan chuckled awkwardly and, not wishing to probe further, found a seat beside the Grandmaster.

Behind him, the butler couldn’t stop his hands from trembling.

He still remembered, when that child had been thrown into the mass grave, he had already stopped breathing.

But now, although the person before him bore a completely different face, those eyes were similar, and even the coldness emanating from them was exactly the same.

His mind was a mess, and from time to time, a pair of blood-red eyes would appear before him.

That hatred, even after more than a decade, still sent shivers down his spine whenever he thought about it. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Qi Yu sipped her tea, but her gaze continuously wandered over the faces of these three people from the Liu Family.

The Grandmaster was very astute, and just by looking at him, one couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

Liu Yan was slightly more immature, and it was apparent that he hadn’t guessed Liu Wensheng’s identity, but he already had a vague suspicion.

This was evident from his eyebrows, which remained furrowed the whole time.

Standing at the back, the most inconspicuous butler, Liu, radiated fear from within.

Qi Yu had no doubt that if she were to call out the butler’s name now, it would scare him out of his wits.

She slightly curled her lips, slowly putting down the teacup she had been using as a disguise, and said to the Grandmaster, "Would it be alright if I allow this friend of mine to take a look in the backyard?"

The Grandmaster had not spoken yet when Liu Yan, frowning, interrupted, "I’m afraid that would be inconvenient."

It was generally best not to air one’s dirty laundry, not to mention the stranger’s unclear identity. If he really found out something, it would be troublesome.

After the conversation last night, he had come to regard Grandmaster Liu Shun and the Princess as enemies of the Grandmaster Residence, and naturally, he didn’t trust the person Qi Yu had brought.

With a feigned sigh of regret, Qi Yu said, "That’s a pity, my friend is most skilled in investigating cases. If he could take a look, he would definitely be able to determine why those people died."

Liu Yan remained firm in his stance and refused to yield.

The atmosphere in the room became somewhat awkward at that moment.

In the end, it was the Grandmaster who broke the silence, saying to Qi Yu, "Since that is the case, let this Mr. Liu take a look."

Since he had spoken, Liu Yan naturally did not dare to object further and could only watch as Qi Yu led the person to the backyard.

Liu Yan could only watch helplessly as the two left, pursed his lips, and spoke in a somewhat low tone to the Grandmaster, "Grandfather, aren’t you worried that this person might uncover something unfavorable to us?"

Upon hearing this, the butler also slightly lifted his head, looking anxiously toward the Grandmaster.

Leaning on his cane, the Grandmaster stood up and said indifferently, "What is there to fear? We shall also go and see what the Princess really intends to do."

To him, it didn’t matter whom Qi Yu asked to come; what he was truly curious about was her intent.

At times like this, whoever lost composure first would lose.

Having said that, he had the butler help him toward the backyard.

Liu Yan followed closely, mulling over the words of the Grandmaster all the way.

In the backyard, Qiu Lian had already brought a forensic doctor from the Ministry of Justice to examine the three bodies again.

But the conclusions reached were the same as before, with no significant discrepancies.

Furrowing his brow, Qiu Lian pointed at the three bodies and asked, "If it were just to kill them, why employ such a brutal method?"

This was the question he had been pondering for a day and a night.

The forensic doctor couldn’t answer either, as his job was merely to examine the bodies and not to deduce the killer’s intentions based on them.

While Qiu Lian was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a voice from behind, "Naturally, because the deaths of these three were no simple matter."

Turning around, Qiu Lian saw a man dressed in white standing beside Qi Yu; the comment had come from him.

He didn’t bother to question the man’s identity and asked, "What makes you say that?"

Liu Wensheng did not immediately respond, but instead walked up to the three bodies, squatted down, and began examining them more closely.

The way he carried himself appeared even more professional than the forensic doctor.

Qiu Lian was momentarily stunned by his actions and forgot the rule that unrelated personnel should not freely enter the crime scene, watching his movements curiously.

Qi Yu watched with a bit of amusement. Liu Wensheng’s actions were merely meant to intimidate; he had no experience in examining bodies.

As someone already familiar with the truth, her gaze leisurely wandered around the dilapidated courtyard, not fixated on the bodies like the others.

Just as the Grandmaster and Liu Yan arrived, they heard him say, "These three did not die from knife wounds, but from Poisonous Insect Poison."
