Genshin Impact: I, who only wanted to play badly, have become famous

Ye Luo asked in a low voice: "Is that all... Why didn't we see the body of the deceased?"

At this time, a team of Qianyan soldiers came out from the other side of the ruins, carrying several stretchers covered with white sheets.

"What is this?" Ye Luo asked.

The Qianyan Army said, "Young Master Ye Luo, everyone, please be mentally prepared."

Ye Luo understood instantly that this was probably the body of the deceased.

Hu Tao said confidently: "I am the head of the "Wangsheng Hall". I have seen so many corpses over the years. What is there for me to prepare for?"

The Qianyan Army lifted all the white sheets together. The scene before them instantly made Xiangling, Xingqiu and Chongyun, who were standing at the back, feel like vomiting, and they quickly ran to the back to dry heave.

Even the waiter Lao Meng couldn't help but shiver. Hu Tao was so shocked that her eyes widened and she covered her mouth.

Ye Luo was dumbfounded, his brows furrowed, and he was fascinated by the pile of remains.

Only Zhongli remained motionless and just touched his chin lightly.

Kurumi turned to look at the Qianyan Army: "Burned? All burnt?"

The Qianyan soldiers nodded: "Yes, it seems that the fire is indeed very big. It is so burnt that we can't tell who is who..."

Lao Meng quickly put his hands together and muttered something, as if he was mumbling some words about salvation.

Zhongli saw the complicated expression on Ye Luo's face and asked, "Young friend Ye Luo, do you have any questions?"

Ye Luo thought about it and felt that this matter should not be made public. It would be better to find a reliable person to discuss it secretly. So he pulled Zhongli and the two of them retreated silently.

Zhongli understood what he meant: "So you think there is something strange?"

Ye Luo asked: "Mr. Zhongli, how many people died in Liyue due to the fire?"

Zhongli thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but not much."

Ye Luo continued to ask: "Have you personally experienced the funeral arrangements for these people?"

Zhongli nodded: "Yes, there are some."

Ye Luo said: "Then I won't keep you in suspense and ask directly, are the bodies of those who died in the fire like this?"

This question stumped Zhongli. After all, not many people died in the fire, and so much time had passed that he had to recall it carefully.

After thinking for a while, Zhongli gave a firm answer: "No, not even one."

Ye Luo clapped his hands suddenly: "I told you, this looks wrong."

Zhongli asked, "Are you trying to say that there is something strange about the deceased's body?"

Ye Luo responded: "First of all, seven out of ten people who died in fires were not burned to death, but choked to death."

"To burn the body like this, time is a huge loophole. Without a long enough time, it is absolutely impossible to burn the body to a crisp."

"We just need to ask when the fire was discovered and when it was put out, and we can probably figure it out."

Zhongli agreed with Ye Luo's opinion, and the two returned to the yard. Xiangling, Xingqiu and Chongyun were still retching there.

Ye Luo and Zhongli walked up to the Qianyan Army with serious expressions.

The captain of the Qianyan Army asked, "Young Master Ye Luo, I saw that you looked a little embarrassed just now. Do you have anything to say?"

Ye Luo said: "All the brothers of Qianyan Army have worked hard. I just have one small question, which is... when did the fire start and when was it put out."

Ye Luo chose to ask directly, without any ambiguity.

The Qianyan Army recalled carefully and finally came to a conclusion that they all agreed with.

"We found out just after midnight last night. We received the report about a quarter of an hour later and set out to put out the fire immediately. It took another ten minutes to reach the scene of the fire. The fire was completely extinguished in thirty minutes."

After hearing the time given by the Qianyan Army, Ye Luo became more certain of his thoughts.

"This amount of time is definitely not enough to burn people like this. They couldn't have died in the fire. Or, in other words, the fire was not the real cause of death."

"But..." the Qianyan Army said, "We found a lot of dust in the dead man's nasal cavity, which is strong evidence that he was choked to death by fire."

Ye Luo stroked his chin and said, "But in such a short time, it is impossible for a person to be burned to charcoal. The dust found in the nasal cavity is indeed evidence of choking to death in the fire."

"There is another possibility. This is not the first scene. What do you think?"

As soon as Ye Luo said this, everyone looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

The captain of the Qianyan Army nodded and said, "Young Master Ye Luo is right. This is indeed possible. If this is the case, then the public security of Wuwangpo may have become a big problem."

Ye Luo asked hurriedly: "I haven't asked for your name yet."

The captain of the Qianyan Army bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master Ye Luo, my name is Zhang Cheng. I am responsible for the law and order management in the Wuwangpo area. I am a member of the Qianyan Army under the command of Master Keqing."

Ye Luo smiled slightly: "Master Keqing has many talented people under her. If you need me, please feel free to ask."

Zhang Cheng said: "Young Master Ye Luo, you are too kind. If possible, I would like to invite you to join me in investigating the truth behind this case."

Ye Luo looked at Hu Tao, who shrugged: "I know you won't just sit there and do nothing, especially since you've already discovered something fishy."

Ye Luo nodded and said to Zhang Cheng: "Don't worry, I will do my best to help with the investigation and will definitely let the truth come to light."

Hu Tao sighed softly: "As expected, things will eventually go out of control, but sitting back and doing nothing will not work. Ye Luo, I support you, and we will stay here with you until the investigation is clear."

The Qianyan Army covered the body of the deceased with a white sheet and carried it to the Qianyan Army base in "Wuwangpo", which was used to temporarily store the bodies.

Ye Luo and his group stayed in the Lin family's courtyard. Ye Luo sat on the ruins, carefully thinking about every possibility behind this matter.

In the end, he decided to place the clue on the only remaining person among the seven people.

"Six out of seven people died. Why haven't we seen the one who survived?"

Hu Tao then responded: "That's right, there is no news about this seventh person, this is too strange."

After Xingqiu and the others finished dry-retching, they came over and said, "This is not easy to solve. Let's ask the locals. We don't know these things, but they definitely know..."

Ye Luo said seriously: "That makes sense. I always feel that this matter cannot be delayed. Let's go and ask now."

Hu Tao and Zhongli followed closely behind, while Xiangling, Xingqiu and Chongyun supported each other and kept up. Lao Meng followed at the end while muttering to himself.
