Chapter 110
When Li Mingcheng's body was carried down, the disciples surrounding the door of the room were shocked by his death.
They could never have imagined that Li Mingcheng, who had just left the academy, would die in the blink of an eye...
The corpse's neck was purple and bleeding, his eyeballs were bulging, and his tongue was sticking out. His arms seemed to be bent into a strange arc due to his struggle before death, and his five fingers were spread out, with bloodshot flesh from his neck under his nails.
"Hanging himself? Could it be that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment?" Bi Ruyue squatted down to check and came to this conclusion.
"This means there is no evidence at all!"
Lin Ruojin stepped forward and said, "But the real culprit of Yingying's case has not yet been found!"
"The real murderer is right here. Why do we need to investigate further?" Bi Ruyue heard the discussions around her, stood up and said: "Inner sect disciple Li Mingcheng has a corrupt character and harmed his fellow sect members. Now he committed suicide out of fear of punishment. From now on, you are not allowed to mention this matter again. Those who violate the rules will be punished by the Ministry of Religious Justice!"
Upon hearing the words of the Ministry of Justice, everyone shut up in disappointment.
What kind of place is that? Anyone who goes in there will come out with their skin badly covered. There are also rumors that male and female disciples who are punished to go to the Ministry of Justice will be expelled from Qingyun in a few days.
Before this, many disciples had been driven out by their teachers.
Lin Zhuojin didn't know whether she was turning a blind eye to avoid alerting the enemy or to maintain Qingyun's dignity. She didn't want to embarrass herself so she stopped talking.
However, just as she was about to leave, she smelled a faint smell of gasoline, not very pungent, but it still made Lin Ruojin shudder!
"Wait!" Lin Ruojin stopped the people who were about to carry the body away, and without caring about her image, she held Li Mingcheng's face and took a deep sniff.
Everyone was surprised at her action, and Bi Ruyue was even more puzzled. But no matter what Lin Ruojin thought, it was inappropriate to do so in public, so she stepped forward and pulled Lin Ruojin.
"What are you doing? You should be ashamed!"
Lin Ruojin didn't care about anything else and quickly pulled open his teeth to examine them carefully.
"What is she doing? How shameless! Don't even mention that she has anything to do with that guy Li Mingcheng!"
"Maybe. After all, she was able to enter the inner gate thanks to the people from Huayang Gate!"
Bi Ruoyue coughed lightly, and the noises around her stopped immediately. It was at this moment that Lin Ruojin looked up.
She asked the crowd:
"Does Li Mingcheng have lung disease?"
"No way..." Everyone denied it in unison and shook their heads.
"If he has lung disease, can he still enter Qingyun Inner Gate?"
"That's right! Qingyun Sword Cultivator practices very hard every day. I've never seen him take medicine. If he really had this disease, he would have died long ago!"
What he said was true, but Li Mingcheng's tongue was purple, black and even had bruises, and there was phlegm in his throat. All these signs showed that he not only had lung disease, but it was also quite serious.
But what on earth is this smell that is so similar to gasoline in the real world?
Medicine or poison?
Lin Ruojin no longer trusted Bi Ruyue. Without knowing the other party's intentions, she couldn't say a word.
In the few days after Li Mingcheng's death, the atmosphere in the inner gate was peaceful.
Even the teacher Changzhou, who always used strange words to cause trouble for her, became quieter. Apart from smiling at her from time to time, he hardly came close to her and was as peaceful as if nothing had happened.
In the afternoon, Lin Ruojin, who was having dinner in the cafeteria, saw Jiuya who was cleaning the wooden table.
Jiuya was still dressed in gray and black. Even though he worked here and dealt with food every day, his clothes were always clean and had the fresh scent of soapberry powder.
"It's been a long time since we last met!" Jiuya wiped the sweat off his forehead, smiled and pulled over a wooden stool, "Sit here and eat!"
"it is good!"
At this time, most people in the canteen had left, so it was quiet. After Jiuya finished his work, he sat opposite Lin Ruojin and chatted with her.
And the moment he sat down, a faint smell of gasoline drifted into Lin Ruojin's nose.
"Brother Jiuya, there is a strange smell on you. Did you get contaminated by something?" Lin Ruojin asked.
Jiuya was stunned, but the tall man blushed at this moment and hurriedly smelled his sleeves and lapels.
"Ah, that's not what I meant. It's just that the smell is very strange. I seem to have smelled it somewhere before, so I asked."
"It's okay. It's probably because I touched the conch flower and got the smell by accident."
Conch flower? What is that?
Noticing Lin Ruojin's curiosity, he said "wait" and left his seat. When he came back, he was holding a piece of food that was purple like a morning glory with a conch shell pattern in his hand.
"This is the conch flower. It's called this because it looks like a conch with its patterns spread out. It's edible. But it has a faint pungent smell when it's raw."
Taking the conch flower from Jiuya, Lin Ruojin leaned in to smell it. It was exactly the same gasoline smell she had smelled from Li Mingcheng that day, exactly the same! But the conch flower in her hand didn't smell as strong as the one on him.
"Hey, can I take one?"
"can."
Lin Ruojin quickly put it in her arms. Her serious look looked very cute in Jiuya's eyes.
He asked unconsciously:
"Xiao Jin, do you have someone you like?"
Lin Ruojin stopped moving.
"Mr. Bai seems to be interested in you. Do you like him?"
Lin Ruojin was silent for a moment, then smiled and nodded, then shook his head and said, "I am a person who is very serious about relationships. I can say that I have some feelings for him. I will unconsciously pay attention to his opinion of me, and I will hope that he will be more on my side!"
"That……"
"Even so, I will persuade myself to forget this kind of feeling. There is no possibility for him and me."
How could a character in a novel and a person in the real world be together?
Besides, this body is not complete yet, and it legitimately belongs to Hua Baihe. How can I feel at ease using this body to tell others that I like her?
The best ending is to return to your own world.
The girl in Lin Ruofan's body must be thinking the same thing...
At this moment, someone who was making a midnight snack for Zhe Ye in Jinghua Shuiyue's kitchen sneezed.
Lin Ruofan: "Ah, ha! I knew that if you don't sleep in the middle of the night, something bad will happen!"
Jiuya didn't know the hidden truth, but he was very happy in his heart.
Jiuya smiled and said, "That's right. He should be more understanding and won't make things difficult for you, Xiaojin."
"Not really, he's fine!"
“I will be better!”
Jiuya was still smiling, his eyes sparkling.
At night, in Bai Wuxiang's room.
The man in black knelt on the ground, holding an ivory-carved wooden box in his hands and handing it to his master.
Bai Wuxiang had just finished showering and his body was still wet.
“Is this the best material?”
"Yes! Please have a look, Master."
Bai Wuxiang lifted the lid and took a look. It was indeed top-grade spiritual jade with a fine texture and was as big as an adult man's fist.
"Go down, I'll call you if there's anything." Bai Wuxiang picked up the box and walked to the table and sat down. He took out the prepared carving knife and whetstone from the box and started to work.
An hour passed.
Two hours passed.
At the third hour, the man in black once again knelt on the ground, panting, holding the wooden box in his hands.
The man at the table looked at his bleeding hand in disbelief.
"Master, how about...trying this...it's softer in texture."
"..."
At this time, on the table.
It was filled with broken pieces of jade.
