The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix – Chapter 193

Chapter 193: Senior Brother, I See You in a New Light

Drip—drip—

A pair of intestines hung from a beam, dripping blackish-red liquid. Bloodstains and body parts covered the floor, leaving nowhere to step.

Ye Anping glanced around. He really didn’t want to look too closely at these body parts, so he took out a pair of gloves from his storage bag, squatted down, dabbed at the bloodstains on the floor, and prepared to wait by the door for a quarter of an hour before reporting for duty.

However, Feng Yu Die was quite diligent. Although her face was twitching, she still endured the disgust, stepping through the blood step by step to reach the corpses and using her spirit sword to turn them over.

“Hiss—this… such brutal methods? It’s a bit like something a demonic cultivator would do.”

As she spoke, she went to the wall and looked at the indentations up close, resting her chin on her hand and thinking for a moment.

“Hmm…”

Ye Anping stood by the door, watching her look around the Sword Pavilion without a word. He suddenly became curious about what she could discover on her own if he didn’t say anything.

In the game, this Sword Pavilion murder case was a competition between Yun Yiyi, Yun Jiujiu, and Yun Xi to see who could catch the killer first. Who ultimately succeeded depended on the player’s allegiance.

If a player assisted Yun Yiyi in the investigation, Yun Yiyi would win. If they helped Yun Jiujiu, Yun Jiujiu would win.

The investigation plot in the Sword Pavilion was a common storyline for the Eldest Miss and Second Miss.

As for Yun Xi, her storyline in the entire Moon Shadow Sword Sect had very few branching options, almost all of it being combat.

If Ye Anping guessed correctly, Yun Xi and Junior Sister Pei had likely already chanced upon the killer on the street and followed them.

This was also why he had assigned Junior Sister Pei to Yun Xi’s side—Junior Sister Pei didn’t need to use her brain too much; she just needed to protect Yun Xi and fight.

Watching Feng Yu Die wander around and ponder with her chin in her hand, she suddenly noticed that Ye Anping hadn’t moved from the doorway. She walked back:

“Young Master Ye, why are you standing at the door? Aren’t we investigating the case?”

“Hmm, you investigate. I’ll just watch.”

?

Feng Yu Die flinched and looked at the mess in the room, then narrowed her eyes and retorted:

“Hiss—could it be that you did this? You…”

?

Ye Anping was taken aback and replied with a smile:

“No.”

Feng Yu Die seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and replied softly:

“Oh… phew—that’s good, that’s good.”

Ye Anping pouted speechlessly, then asked:

“…How is it with Yun Jiujiu?”

“That little brat is so annoying. She picks fights with me every day, insists I drink with her, and even bit me just now.”

“So…” Ye Anping hesitated for a moment and asked, “How many times have you won?”

“We fight once a day, three times so far.”

“Oh… then it’s coming soon.”

“What’s coming soon?”

—The love letter incident is coming soon.

No wonder Yun Jiujiu kissed her just now. Her favorability must be around seventy or eighty percent.

Ye Anping shrugged slightly, smiling:

“It’s nothing. What have you found?”

At this question, Feng Yu Die turned and scanned the corpses again, musing:

“Hmm… some of these people have soil on the soles of their shoes, while others have clean soles. And the marks on the wall are strange; I can’t imagine how the killer did it.”

“So, you think these people were moved here after they died?”

“Yes.” Feng Yu Die nodded quickly, then walked up to a corpse and used her sword to pry open its abdomen. “Besides, the number of organs in these bodies doesn’t match. Each body is missing one thing.”

Hearing this, Ye Anping showed a hint of surprise and probed:

“Some are hanging from the beam above, some are stuck to the wall?”

Feng Yu Die frowned in thought and shook her head:

“I’ve accounted for all of them, and I’ve counted three times. A normal person has seventy-eight organs. I just scanned the entire area with my spiritual sense, and I only found two thousand and seventy-nine in total. Exactly twenty-seven are missing, meaning each person had a piece of flesh taken.”

“Uh-huh…”

“Young Master Ye, no matter what, it’s impossible to completely obliterate a person’s internal organs. If someone with extremely high cultivation had acted, they wouldn’t have left any corpses, nor would they have made such a mess here…”

Feng Yu Die nodded seriously, raised her index finger, and concluded:

“This is definitely someone trying to mislead us! These twenty-seven people were killed elsewhere and then moved here. The mess was made to cover up the missing twenty-seven organs. It’s likely a group crime; these people died around the same time but in completely different locations.”

Hearing this, Ye Anping couldn’t help but look at her with new respect.

According to the game’s progression, a player at this point could only infer from the combat traces at the scene that these people were killed elsewhere and moved here, pointing the finger at the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion.

But in less than a quarter of an hour, Feng Yu Die had grasped the core of the issue.

—Someone is collecting the organs of the inner disciples of the Sword Sect.

If he were to tell Yun Yiyi and the others now, they would likely jump across three or four plotlines and rush directly to the final BOSS’s room.

There was no such route in the game, but Ye Anping could easily deduce the conclusion with a little thought.

If they proceeded this way, not only the three young ladies of the Yun Family would die, but the entire Sword Sect would be slaughtered.

He sighed and said, “Don’t mention the organs later. Just say that these people seem to have been moved here after death.”

“Ah?” Feng Yu Die blinked, tilted her head, and asked, “Why?”

“For your wife.”

?

“Junior Sister Pei?”

No, I mean Yun Jiujiu… Ye Anping smiled and said, “In short, just don’t say it.”

“Then what is going on? Tell me first. How did you know? Did you possibly do this yourself?”

“No…” Ye Anping sighed, glanced towards the door, leaned closer to her, and whispered, “In Moon Shadow Sword Sect’s forbidden area, Thousand Sword Pool, there is a person named Kun Wu.”

“What about him?”

“His surname was originally Yun. Later, Yun Tianchong stripped him of his surname, imprisoned him there, and he is an unfilial son with a Heavenly Spiritual Root and extraordinary destiny.”

“…Got it!” Feng Yu Die nodded understandingly and slapped her left palm with her right hand. “We have to deal with him in the end, right?”

“He is merely one of the pieces in my hand, a pawn who thinks he is playing chess.”

Ye Anping smiled. Feeling that enough time had passed, he turned and held the Sword Pavilion door.

“Alright, time’s up. Let’s go out.”

“Oh… okay!”
