Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1621 7 Heart Tablets 2

Mr. Li looked up and saw that the person who handed him his wallet was a young, beautiful and very elegant girl. She was obviously rich or noble. He didn't want to think too much about her. He took the wallet and thanked her directly: "Thank you, girl."

Jiang Xinxin smiled and said, "If you really want to thank me, why not tell me about the Luoma Lake fishing line murder case."

Mr. Li's face suddenly turned ugly, and he was wary. Jiang Xinxin didn't care. She kept her smile on her face and explained, "I have excellent hearing. I was just having dinner at Laojiu Hot Pot, right next to you, so I heard the whole thing."

"I'm very interested in this supernatural phenomenon. Mr. Li, please don't hesitate to provide more information. I believe I have some skills and may be able to help you find the truth about the Luomahu case."

Mr. Li exhaled a breath of alcohol-smelling sullen air, thinking Jiang Xinxin was just an overly curious girl. He said earnestly, "Girl, your generation should have been educated in atheism and science. Even if you're curious, you shouldn't talk about supernatural phenomena so casually."

"Besides, even if this case seems a little bizarre, it's definitely not caused by any supernatural phenomena. It can only be said that the murderer's methods are cruel and vicious, and he has relevant knowledge. It's just that because there are so few clues left, it seems a little bizarre."

Li Tan didn't want to say anything more to this delicate-looking girl, so he just left.

Jiang Xinxin followed him, lowering her voice and saying, "Mr. Li, there's no need to refuse so hastily. Find a place without surveillance cameras. I will prove to you that the Luoma Lake fishing line murder case is no ordinary case. If you want to understand the inside story, you really need me."

Li Tan didn't look wealthy, otherwise he wouldn't have been so reluctant to give money before. He had been running around for more than 20 years and was really at his wit's end. So he looked at Jiang Xinxin intently for a while, and finally relented, "Okay, even if you play tricks on me this time, I accept it."

Li Tan is an upright man, and of course he would not take a young girl to his residence rashly. Jiang Xinxin would not take Li Tan to the hotel where she was staying. Since Li Tan had not eaten anything at the hot pot restaurant before, Jiang Xinxin found a nearby restaurant and asked for a private room.

After all the dishes were served, she told the waiter not to come in. Jiang Xinxin put her right index and middle fingers together, chanted a spell secretly, and a small one-inch flame emerged from her fingertips.

Li Tan was stunned, his face full of disbelief, while Jiang Xinxin moved the flame closer, indicating that Li Tan should verify it himself.

Li Tan directly put his hand close to the small flame and burned his finger, causing it to hurt.

Jiang Xinxin continued to pull out the paper towel next to her and put it on the flame to light it. Li Tan smelled the smell of the burning paper towel and saw the real ashes left after the paper towel burned. He was finally willing to believe that there were indeed some supernatural phenomena in this world.

Although during this process, Li Tan drank the wine in the thermos in one gulp with trembling hands, and gasped for a while before he finally calmed down.

Li Tan then revealed his identity and all the information he knew about the case: "My name is Li Tan, and I used to be a police officer. The family of three who died in the Luomahu murder case were my fiancée's family."

"My fiancée's name is Li Yaqing. If that tragedy hadn't happened, we would have gotten married that year..."

Li Tan leaned back, looking lost in memories.

"Over the years, I've lost my job and my future because of that case. I've been tracking it down for most of my life, but I still don't have much of a clue."

"I was a police officer at the time. When the murder happened, I was almost the first person to arrive at the scene. I still remember the scene vividly. I can even recall how Yaqing fell to the ground, how he was dragged, and how he got entangled in those damn fishing lines and turned into a puppet!"

After saying this, Li Tan exhaled deeply and smiled bitterly, "I've also considered that perhaps there really are some supernatural phenomena, but two years ago there was another fishing line murder case that was very similar to the case in my fiancée's family, both in style and other aspects."

"I witnessed that case with my own eyes, but unfortunately I didn't get to see the murderer."

"So I don't believe anything Cen Chunjiao said. Liu Shuhai, who died five years ago, can't be the murderer."

After listening for a while, Jiang Xinxin became more and more certain that this fishing line murder case was what she was looking for.

Jiang Xinxin suggested to Li Tan, "Boss Wan said he has some information to share. Mr. Li, why don't you take me with you to take a look? I believe others have their own reasons for investigating these cases, and perhaps we can share what we have."

Li Tan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to take Jiang Xinxin with him to take a look.

Wan Fenghuo was also concerned about Li Tan's return with a young woman who looked quite remarkable. Li Tan even treated her with a hint of respect. As a tipster, he was naturally wary, but he still stated his position: "Mr. Li, in our line of work, rules are very important."

Before Li Tan could speak, Jiang Xinxin took out the cash she had prepared long ago. "I've also learned some of Boss Wan's rules from Mr. Li. I was a bit rude today. This is just a small token of respect. I hope Boss Wan will tolerate it."

The amount of money was not much, just the full amount paid by everyone. Although Wan Fenghuo was not very happy, he also felt that Jiang Xinxin would be a big sponsor, and he was afraid that they would have many times to interact with each other in the future, so he let it go.

Jiang Xinxin was not interested in the information provided by Wan Fenghuo. Li Tan originally felt confused after reading it, but with Jiang Xinxin's ability to create fire out of thin air, he couldn't help but think too much, so he only observed the reactions of the other two guests.

The girl named Mu Dai and the young man named Ma Tuwen were obviously representatives of others. Even if they knew some inside information, they didn't know much. After confirming that the murderer Liu Shuhai mentioned by Cen Chunjiao died five years ago and had never been to Luomahu, everyone dispersed.

However, when Li Tan came out, he suggested to Jiang Xinxin, "Perhaps we can talk to Miss Mu Dai first. She hasn't come out yet, so she must have other requests and know a lot."

Jiang Xinxin believed in Li Tan's judgment and her own intuition, so she waited with Li Tan at the hotel entrance for a while.

When Mu Dai came out and saw that the two were waiting for him, he roughly understood what was going on. He found a place to have coffee. Li Tan confessed the reason why he was investigating the Luomahu case. He also said that the murderer committed another crime in front of him two years ago. It was a pity that he did not see the murderer's appearance and let the murderer get away.

The part where Jiang Xinxin showed him the supernatural phenomena was omitted.

Mu Dai said that his adoptive mother was a student of Professor Li, the victim in the Luomahu case. He had been worried about the tragedy of his teacher's family over the years, so he made inquiries from many sources.
