Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Zhang Wuji from Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber
Su Yan handed his horse to a governnt official to watch and followed them inside.
“The victim is the newlywed wife of the North City Zhang Family. Last night was their wedding day, and before they could consummate the marriage, the person just…” said the Magistrate with a sigh of regret.
An idea flashed through Su Yan’s mind, and he asked,
“Were all four of the dead won unwed?”
“Indeed.”
“Looking at this, the killer’s target seems to be virgins.
...
I once read in a ghost story that drinking the blood of virgins can lead to rebirth.
Could it be that the killer is a ghost?”
No sooner had Su Yan spoken than Chu Yuxiao’s expression instantly changed.
“Marquis, what’s wrong?” The Magistrate just happened to notice his odd reaction.
Su Yan inquired with confusion, “You couldn’t seriously believe it’s the work of ghosts, could you? Haha, I was just speaking off the cuff.”
Moreover, the ghost stories she had read were all concocted by authors online in modern tis and didn’t exist in real life.
Chu Yuxiao gave Su Yan a aningful look, what he was thinking, nobody knew.
“Right, Marquis. The victim’s husband said he saw the killer. This official has had him wait in the side hall for your questioning.”
“Bring him here.”
“Yes.”
Chu Yuxiao took the main seat in the tribunal, while Su Yan also found a chair to sit down.
Soon, a young man with a simple and honest look ca in and knelt down to salute,
“Commoner sees the Marquis and the Magistrate.”
“Are you the husband of the deceased?” asked Chu Yuxiao.
“Yes.”
“What’s your na?”
“Zhang Aniu.”
Su Yan suddenly let out a snort of laughter.
Zhang Aniu…
Isn’t that Zhang Wuji from ‘Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber’?
Chu Yuxiao gave her a cool glance, to which she waved her hand and said, “Don’t mind , continue.”
“The Magistrate ntioned that you saw the killer. What was the situation at the ti?” Chu Yuxiao continued.
Zhang Aniu glanced at his bride who lay beside him, and with reddened eyes, he said, “After we paid our respects at the hall, my wife entered the bridal chamber. I was outside drinking with friends and relatives. Eventually, I got drunk, and when I was outside the bridal chamber, I felt a white shadow flit by.”
