Chapter 758: Possessed in the Street
On the long street, the funeral procession started all the way from the Zhong family.
Many people gathered on both sides of the street, watching and talking.
The murder of so many women had already caused a great uproar in the imperial city. At this moment, watching the funeral procession, many people were cursing the cruelty of the murderer.
Of course, some people are still talking about the previous news about the women's college, believing that women should not show their faces in public.
In a teahouse facing the street, Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi stood by the window, watching the team gradually approaching below.
Pei Zhaozhi was also here, with shame in his eyes.
"After investigating for so long, we still haven't found much information. I feel sorry for these innocent women who have been victimized."
At first he didn't expect this case to be so difficult.
After the bodies of the women were found in the forest, there were almost no clues. Moreover, the mute man who had been arrested before suddenly died by hitting his head against the wall in prison.
There are only two days left before the deadline given by the emperor, but I am still confused.
He was too ashamed to face the task assigned by the emperor, and even more ashamed to face the families of the victimized women.
"This case is still shrouded in mystery and there are probably many complicated connections behind it. It's not your fault that we haven't been able to find out the truth for a while." Shen Yanxi comforted him.
"No matter what, it is my fault. If I cannot find out the truth in the next two days, I will go to the emperor to apologize. I just hope that the emperor will allow me to continue investigating this matter."
Pei Zhaozhi's tone was heavy, his eyes fell on the gradually approaching team, and he unconsciously looked at Zhong Yixiu who was walking in the team.
"I heard that Miss Zhong has been locked up at home by her father. I wonder if he decided to release her today, or just allow her to leave the house for a short time."
Thinking of Zhong Xingyun's unreasonable attitude of blaming everything on Zhong Yixiu, the wrinkles between Pei Zhaozhi's brows became even deeper.
Jiang Suining did not speak, but just stared at Zhong Yixiu who was gradually walking into the team, and spoke in a low voice.
"Zhong Yixue's reaction seems to be a little strange."
In the team, Zhong Yixiu's steps were heavy, her body was shaking, her face was pale, and her expression seemed a little dazed. She just followed the team numbly, which looked indeed unusual.
"Could it be that he's been locked up for too long and his body can't take it anymore?" Pei Zhaozhi asked.
Shen Yanxi shook his head, "Zhong Yixue and her sister had a good relationship. Today is the funeral, so she shouldn't have such a numb expression under such circumstances."
"That's right." Jiang Suining frowned, with a bad feeling in his heart.
However, the next moment, Zhong Yixiu, who was walking in the team, suddenly stopped.
"Yixue, what's wrong with you? Can't you hold on?" Zhong's mother noticed that something was wrong with Zhong Yixue, and she also stopped and looked at her with concern.
But Zhong Yixiu did not say anything. She just stared at Zhong's mother blankly. After a moment, she suddenly pushed the person away and screamed.
This sudden change caused the entire funeral procession to become chaotic.
Zhong's mother was shocked, but after she came to her senses, she hurried forward to support Zhong Yixiu.
"Yixue, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother."
"Don't touch me, don't touch me!" Zhong Yixiu screamed in panic and tried hard to push away Zhong's mother's hand.
Zhong Xingyun also stepped forward, "Yixue, what's wrong with you?"
Zhong Yixiu's expression became more and more terrified, and her screams became louder and louder. Anyone who tried to get close to her would be immediately pushed away by her screams.
"Someone, come here, the young lady must have been possessed by evil spirits, send her back home immediately!" Zhong Xingyun said loudly.
Several servants in the team hurried forward and stopped Zhong Yixiu.
But Zhong Yixiu, who was captured, screamed even louder and struggled continuously to shake off the servants. She really looked like she was possessed and went mad.
Zhong Xingyun hit Zhong Yixiu's neck hard with his palm, which made her faint.
The original funeral procession was thrown into chaos after this incident, and the surrounding people were also frightened.
"Master, what happened to Yixue?" Mother Zhong's face was filled with panic, and she hugged the unconscious Zhong Yixue with heartache.
"I don't know what happened. Send her back home quickly and ask the doctor to take a good look at her." Zhong Xing gave the order.
"But the funeral..."
"I will bring someone over, so you don't have to go. Take her home quickly and don't let anything else happen." Zhong Xingyun rarely showed some concern.
Soon, Zhong Yixiu was sent back.
Zhong Xingyun hastily led the team on their journey.
In the teahouse, Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi, who had witnessed the scene just now, all frowned.
"Why would he suddenly go crazy like this?" Pei Zhaozhi was full of confusion, with worry in his eyes.
While Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi were worried, they had bad guesses in their minds when they thought of the scene just now.
Soon, they left the teahouse and sent someone to inquire for news.
Zhong Xingyun rushed back to the Zhong family after hastily completing the funeral.
In the Zhong Mansion, Zhong Yixiu was still in a coma, but there was no doctor to see her.
Zhong's mother was very anxious, and when she saw Zhong Xingyun coming back, she almost ran towards him.
"Master, you are finally back. What happened? Why did the servants stop me from finding a doctor and said it was your order?"
Zhong Xingyun's expression was cold, without any trace of the worry he had shown about his daughter on the long street before. He just glanced coldly at Zhong's mother.
"No need to find a doctor, she is possessed by evil spirits."
"Master, what do you mean?" Zhong's mother was stunned.
"You don't have to worry about these things. Just remember to announce to the public that Yi Xue was possessed by an evil spirit in the women's academy, which is why she has become what she is now."
Mother Zhong stared at Zhong Xingyun in a daze, and it took her a while to react.
"Master, could it be that you already knew that Yi Xue would become like this?"
Zhong Xingyun did not answer, but stared at Zhong's mother with a warning look.
"Just do as I tell you, and don't make any more trouble."
"Master, Yixue is your biological daughter. What happened to her? You..."
In the middle of her words, Zhong's mother suddenly stopped talking, and her mind suddenly shuddered as she remembered the meals that Zhong Xingyun had specially ordered to be arranged in the past few days.
"Could it be that you, Master, have had someone tamper with the food that Yixue has been eating these days?"
A dark light flashed across Zhong Xingyun's eyes, but he did not deny it.
In an instant, Mother Zhong felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She said loudly in disbelief, "Master, are you crazy? Yixue is our biological daughter, our only daughter now. Why would you attack your own daughter!"
