Chapter 169: Serial Murder Case

“Lord Chu, there’s a serial murder case in the capital recently. Da Lisi sent people to investigate for several days but there was no news. The Crown Prince said that your ability to resolve cases is outstanding and has recommended you to Father.”

Chu Sihan expressed his innocence at Lu Zhou’s sudden hostility.

He had also heard about the serial murder case in the capital.

However, wasn’t this matter always handled by Da Lisi?

Besides, this was a major case. If they could find out who the murderer was, they would have performed great meritorious service.

For such a good thing, why did the Crown Prince recommend him instead of his own people?

“Serial murder case?”

Lu Sheng’s interest was piqued.

She looked at Lu Zhou and said, “Master, is there money from performing great meritorious service?”

“Yes.” Lu Zhou nodded. “A hundred thousand silver taels.”

The notice boards in the capital were everywhere. If he wasn’t in a hurry to come to Huang Yang Town, he might have considered solving this case.

“A hundred silver taels?!”

Lu Sheng swallowed her saliva and said excitedly, “Master, is that murderer powerful? If I go, will I be able to restrain him?”

“You?”

Lu Zhou shook his head. “I’m afraid you can’t. You can’t control him.”

How could this little girl possibly subdue someone that even the State Minister couldn’t?

When Lu Sheng heard that, she immediately frowned. “Even I can’t subdue him, then why did the Crown Prince recommend the Lord? Isn’t he trying to harm you?”

Chu Sihan was speechless.

Was he really that bad?

“I’m not done yet.”

Lu Zhou smiled at Chu Sihan and said, “The Crown Prince’s suggestion was rejected by Father.”

He just wanted to scare Chu Sihan. Unexpectedly, before Chu Sihan could react, his daughter had already stood up for him.

He was very unhappy!

When Lu Sheng heard this, she laughed and said, “That’s good, His Majesty is wise after all!”

“But…” Lu Sheng paused and asked Lu Zhou,” Master, is that murderer human?”

Lu Zhou said calmly, “Half-human, half-ghost.”

“Half-human?” Chu Sihan frowned. “What do you mean?”

“There are some people who, despite their hard work when they were alive, were killed by others. Their hearts were filled with unwillingness, and in the end, they died with remaining grievances. They didn’t want to enter the Netherworld, so they wandered around the world. After a long time, they would become malicious ghosts.”

At this point, Lu Zhou glanced at him and continued to explain, “In the end, they will attach themselves to a person and kill the murderer and people similar to the murderer.”

“I heard that the ones who died were all men. What did those men do?” Chu Sihan was very curious.

“Them?”

Lu Zhou leaned back in his chair and said with a faint smile, “They are either gamblers who sold their children in the gambling dens or people who indulged in brothels when they had wives and children. Otherwise, they are drunkards.”

Lu Sheng supported her face with both hands, tilted her head, and muttered, “In that case, the murderer is a woman?”

Lu Zhou: “This person might not be a woman, but this ghost definitely is.”

Lu Sheng pouted. “If even I can’t subdue this ghost, it must be the same age as you, Master?”

She definitely had at least a hundred years of cultivation.

One had to know that she had caught ghosts with decades of cultivation before.

“More or less. Her cultivation is a bit weaker than mine.”

This little girl always thought that he only had a hundred years of cultivation. Little did she know that this hundred years was only a hundred years of his skin.

He did not even remember his real age.

“Master, why don’t you help me catch him and then I’ll bring him to Da Lisi? We can split the reward 70-30. How’s that?”

A hundred thousand taels was not a small amount. She was craving for it!

Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows. “Who’s 70 and who’s 30?”

“Isn’t that obvious?” Lu Sheng giggled and said obsequiously, “Master, you don’t lack money. Would you still want to compete with me for this bit of money?”
