Chapter 2 Cause of Death
Ji Liao lives in a manor now, and he is very rich now.
As a miracle doctor, it is actually normal to have money, after all, life is priceless.
After a while, a maid came up and told him that the flower bath was ready. It turned out that there was a natural hot spring in this manor, and every evening, Ji Liao would go to take a while.
After experiencing the broken river of time, Ji Liao was also a little tired, and of course he would not refuse such a good thing.
Ji Liao was a noble son of Four Seasons Villa. He accepted his current identity very quickly. He had not been served for a long time and accepted the maid's service with peace of mind.
He didn't need to be pretentious in this regard, because if he didn't accept the maid's service, she would be nervous.
Under the massage of tender little hands, Ji Liao lies comfortably in the bath.
The hot spring water came in from outside and then flowed away, and every pore in his body was opened.
He was enjoying the comfort and pleasure of the moment, and footsteps sounded in his ears, leading him back to reality.
This is another maid, she said, "Young Master, Master Huang from Sifang City is here."
Ji Liao looked through the memory of the original owner of his body and knew that Master Huang was the confidant of the Sifang City Lord. The real name of the Sifang City Lord was Huang Shang. It is said that he had been guided by immortals and had extraordinary abilities.
However, he is the city lord and has basically no chance to show his extraordinary magical powers.
…
…
The guests and the host sat down, and Ji Liao held the teacup and said, "Master Huang will not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I don't know if there is anything to tell Xiaoke."
Master Huang bowed and said, "I'm going to trouble you with something. Just this morning, I found a murder case by the moat. The coroner in the city cannot test the cause of death, so I have to ask you to come."
The lord of the four cities seeking immortals and asking for advice, and has always ignored civil affairs. Therefore, the affairs of all major and small in the city are handled by Master Huang.
Ji Liao smiled slightly and said, "It's just a small matter. Just Master Huang sent someone to inform me. Why do you have to come in person?"
Master Huang said, "Young Master is joking. I don't dare to take advantage of you. Even the city lord often mentions you, saying that you are a talented person and being able to stay in Sifang City is a blessing for Sifang City."
Ji Liao smiled and said, "I don't think we have to continue to be polite. It's getting late, let's set off early."
Master Huang said, "That's what I mean. After testing the cause of death, I will invite the young master to have a meal and give me a face."
Ji Liao smiled and said, "Master Huang is so kind, it seems that the deceased is quite famous."
Master Huang stroked his head and said, "I will not hide it from the young master. The deceased's real name is Changwei. He is the only son of General Weiyuan. He died in our Sifang City. If he cannot find the murderer as soon as possible, Sifang City will be in trouble at that time."
Ji Liao nodded and said, "Then let's go."
…
…
A corpse was covered with frost. Even now it was the turn of spring and summer, the frost on the corpse did not seem to be dissolved.
Ji Liao brushed the surface of the body with his hands and then said, "I probably know the cause of death."
Master Huang said, "How did he die?"
Ji Liao smiled faintly and pressed the chest of the deceased, and a very thin piece of jade popped out of the chest of the deceased. As soon as the jade appeared, the temperature of the lobby where the corpse was placed lowered a few points, and it seemed that it was a cold winter.
Master Huang said, "What is this?"
Ji Liao said: "Jade is an ordinary jade, but look at the patterns on it. This is a kind of talisman. It is usually drawn by those who practice Taoism and become immortals. Master Huang can use it to ask the city lord."
Ji Liao handed the blood-stained jade in his hand to Master Huang.
Master Huang found a piece of cloth, wrapped the jade, and put it in the box.
Only in this way can the cold air in the lobby be eliminated a little.
Master Huang said, "Young Master, wait for a moment, and I will go and ask the city lord."
Ji Liao nodded slightly.
Master Huang left by himself.
Ji Liao actually had some words that he had not said, and the soul of the deceased disappeared, and he calculated that the other party's fate was an unforgivable person.
Moreover, jade is the work of a practitioner, and it does not seem like seeking revenge, but may be intentional killing of the person.
After entering the Demon Realm, Tianji was in a mess and could not calculate too many useful things. Otherwise, Ji Liao could trace the root of the source and see who the murderer was.
However, he still can't figure out the situation here, so it would be a good thing to cause less trouble.
The reason why he came for an autopsy was just because he didn't want to change too much of the original owner's character, so as not to get into trouble and touch the situation of Sifang City at the same time.
Ji Liao glanced at Master Huang intentionally or unintentionally. There was the lord of Sifang City there. This man's magic power fluctuations should not be underestimated. It is not far from becoming an immortal.
Even in the Demon Realm, you should be considered a character.
It is most likely true that the rumor that the lord of Sifang City has received guidance from immortals.
There are countless places like Sifang City. If there are people like Sifang City Lord in every place, the water in the Demon World is far deeper than Ji Liao imagined.
Ji Liao thought about it. As the city lord, maybe there is a map of the demon world and know some secrets of the demon world. He can contact this city lord, but he has to wait for a while to restore his magical powers to most of it.
About a stick of incense passed before Master Huang came back.
He said with apologies: "I'm really sorry for letting the young master wait for a long time."
Ji Liao said: "It's okay, what do you mean by the city lord?"
Master Huang said, "After the city lord saw the jade, he had some conspiracy and told me carefully how to deal with the aftermath. I believe that in a few days, the case will be settled. Thank you, the young master, to find this jade."
Ji Liao smiled faintly and said, "Even without me, the city lord can find something strange."
Master Huang said, "I am entrusted by the city lord. If there is no need, I will not dare to disturb him."
Ji Liao smiled slightly and said, "The city lord likes to refine alchemy on weekdays?"
Master Huang said in surprise: "How did the young master know?"
Ji Liao said: "Master Huang has forgotten that I am a doctor after all."
Master Huang laughed in silence and said, "I'm really confused."
He then said, "I said I invited the young master to have a simple meal. It's not too late now. I have already instructed my servants to invite a few friends to wait in Wanfulou. Let's go now."
Ji Liao said: "Okay."
…
…
Wanfu Tower is brightly lit, and guests are like clouds.
But the place where Mr. Huang invited Ji Liao to dinner was a private room, with no noise.
It is said to be a private room, but it is actually as big as a flower hall, and the open space inside can be used to spread silk and bamboo singing and dancing.
Mr. Huang’s friends are all well-known figures in the city, but when they see Ji Liao, they are all very enthusiastic, and even occasionally throw gratitude to Mr. Huang.
Because Ji Liao is a miracle doctor, no matter how powerful these people are, they may not encounter headaches and fever. If they can get along well with Ji Liao, they will guarantee their lives.
After all, Ji Liao is famous, so it can be said that there is no one he cannot save. But Ji Liao has a rule, that is, he should treat diseases and save people based on his mood.
If he doesn't want to save him, it will be useless even if the money is placed in front of him.
On weekdays, there are many rich people who invite Ji Liao to the banquet, but Ji Liao has almost never been there.
Mr. Huang was overjoyed to invite Ji Liao.
But this is a natural thing. After all, Ji Liao lives in Sifang City, and Mr. Huang represents the city lord and controls the affairs of Sifang City. If he doesn't even give him face, Ji Liao will be somewhat inconvenient in Sifang City in the future.
