Chapter 123

123 He’s Not the Murderer

“What do you mean?” Luo Han and Third Master Xue asked at the same time.

Instead of answering, Luo Cheng laughed.

“Since Third Master Xue doesn’t want Cui Niang to come, let’s invite another woman to meet Third Master Xue! I believe Third Master Xue wants to see this woman even more. For example, that woman called Bai Feng. I think there are three cherry trees in front of her door!”

!!

As soon as he said this, Third Master Xue, who had been very agitated, sat on a chair.

After thinking for a while, Third Master Xue collapsed on the chair.

“Impressive, impressive! I really didn’t expect Mr. Luo to have such a powerful person in his hands. No wonder you changed the location previously and even used some torture methods. I believe these were all done by the person asking the question now!” Third Master Xue said tiredly.

“Thank you for your praise, Third Master Xue. It’s just a small trick. Thank you for your praise!” Luo Cheng took responsibility for this and did not expose Li Xiaoran.

“Now, Third Master Xue is willing to tell us the truth?! You have to know that if you lie, I can’t guarantee that the woman called Bai Feng will be safe and sound!”

Hearing Luo Cheng’s words, Third Master Xue gave up on his previous plan and said weakly, “As long as you don’t hurt her, I will definitely tell you everything I know!”

“If only you had cooperated earlier!” Luo Cheng smiled and looked at Luo Han. “You can ask what you want to ask!”

Luo Han nodded, then stared at Third Master Xue and asked, “Did you do what happened in Coldwater Alley?”

“Yes!” Third Master Xue replied directly.

“Why? From what I know, the Third Master Xue I know is very loyal. At least, he’s not the kind of person who doesn’t care about human lives. But won’t you feel guilty if so many innocent people in Coldwater Alley lose their lives because of this?” Luo Han couldn’t help but ask.

This time, Third Master Xue did not speak. He closed his eyes with a pained expression.

When Li Xiaoran saw this scene, she felt Third Master Xue’s pain and was a little puzzled.

Before Li Xiaoran could continue to sense Third Master Xue’s emotions, another dark alley appeared in front of her.

Li Xiaoran, who had felt empathic emotions many times, immediately reacted.

At this moment, the alley was very quiet. There was not even a moon in the sky.

At that moment, a figure appeared in the alley. On closer inspection, she could tell that the other party was a man.

Just as the man was walking quickly down the alley, there was a loud explosion and then flames appeared.

“No!” The man let out a gut-wrenching scream, then sprinted toward the fire.

Unfortunately, it was too late. There was fire everywhere, wounded men, and the smell of blood.

The man seemed to have gone crazy. He went everywhere to save people. He even rushed into the flames without caring about his life in order to save the people who had survived the fire!

Seeing this, Li Xiaoran’s eyes were already wet with tears.

Luo Cheng had long noticed that something was wrong with Li Xiaoran. When he saw her sobbing, he immediately panicked.

He rushed over and hugged Li Xiaoran.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran snapped out of the scene with tears streaming down her face.

“What’s going on?” Luo Cheng asked anxiously.

Li Xiaoran was about to take out a handkerchief when Luo Cheng took out a handkerchief to wipe Li Xiaoran’s tears.

Her gaze landed on the man not far away. Li Xiaoran suddenly said in a choked voice, “It’s not him! At the moment of the explosion, he was still at the entrance of the alley. After the accident, he rushed into the fire to save people. He risked his life! He’s taking the blame for someone. The person who set the fire was a woman. I can draw that woman’s appearance!”

Everyone was stunned by these words.

Third Master Xue, who was on the chair, immediately struggled.

“That’s impossible. Impossible. How did you know?”

Luo Cheng gave Luo Han a look and left the room with Li Xiaoran.

“Husband, give me a piece of chalk and a piece of white paper. I can help you draw the murderer who killed many people!”

“Are you alright?” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and asked with heartache.

“I’m fine. Hurry up, Hubby. Let me draw it while I remember it very clearly!” Li Xiaoran said anxiously.

Li Xiaoran wished she could find the murderer who had killed many innocent people this instant.

Luo Cheng asked someone to send what Li Xiaoran needed over and then went to pour a glass of water for her.

After Li Xiaoran took the firewood, she asked someone for a dagger. After sharpening the charcoal, she began to draw.

Perhaps because she was immersed in painting, Li Xiaoran had already reached a state of oblivion.

At this moment, all she wanted to do was draw the murderer and hand the drawing over to Luo Han so her could arrest her. She had forgotten to think of a reason to explain all of this.

After an unknown period of time, Li Xiaoran finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Luo Han was also in the room at this moment, looking at the painting Li Xiaoran had drawn.

“Why does this person look familiar?” Luo Han asked with a frown.

Luo Cheng looked at it and then said softly, “Put a veil on this person’s face. If you look again, you’ll know who it is!”

Hearing this, Luo Han immediately reached out and covered the lower half of the woman’s face in the portrait with his hand.

“It’s Cui Niang?” Luo Han exclaimed.

“That’s right, it’s this Cui Niang! It seems that Cui Niang isn’t like people think she is, and she’s very ruthless!” Luo Cheng nodded and said, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and arrange for people to capture her!”

Luo Han immediately reacted and ran out with his men.

Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and said worriedly, “You look terrible!”

“You know it’s the aftereffects!” Li Xiaoran said simply and leaned back in her chair.

“Here, this is the honey water I asked someone to make. Drink some first to moisten your throat! If possible, can you tell me what you experienced previously?” Luo Cheng said as he sent the honey water over.

Li Xiaoran nodded and took a few sips of honey water before slowly recalling.

“Third Master Xue risked his life to save people and didn’t even care about his own life. However, he was only one person after all. When he used up his strength, a woman rushed in and grabbed Third Master Xue before rushing away from the fire!”
