Chen Tiexin had his servants search the entire Chen family residence inside and outside, but found nothing. However, Chen Tiexin did not dare to touch the backyard pond, because this pond of koi was Chen Yuanhai's favorite thing.
Moreover, this pond is indeed a good place to hide a corpse. Since Chen Yuanhai has spoken, Chen Tiexin immediately called his servants.
As the water level in the pond gradually dropped, Chen Tiexin became more and more nervous, and even his breathing became rapid. This reaction showed that he was worried and afraid. He was afraid that a corpse would really appear here, and that Han Sanqian would be as they suspected.
That way.
You must know that when Chen Tiexin drove Han Sanqian out of the Chen family's mansion, he also deliberately set up a trap for Han Sanqian, which attracted many people to watch. He deliberately wanted those people to see Han Sanqian's jokes. He hoped to use this
Let Han Sanqian become famous in Longyun City.
Chen Tiexin had brought the matter to this point without leaving any way out for himself. He could not imagine how he would have faced this matter if Han Sanqian was really a strong man.
"Father, do you think the body is really inside?" Chen Tiexin asked Chen Yuanhai.
Chen Yuanhai's expression became more solemn, because after much thought, this was the easiest place to hide a body in the Chen family's mansion, so it was reasonable that the body could not be found in other places.
But whether it is present or not is not something Chen Yuanhai can determine.
"We can only know everything after seeing the results." Chen Yuanhai said.
Chen Tiexin stopped talking and waited quietly.
The water level did not drop very fast, but neither of them felt anxious at all. Chen Tiexin even hoped that the water would never be drained, so that he could have an excuse to escape reality.
In the evening, the water level in the pond was finally only knee-high. In this case, almost everything at the bottom of the pond was visible to the naked eye.
An unknown human-shaped object appeared in front of the two of them.
This situation made Chen Tiexin look pale. It was impossible for someone to drown in this pond for no reason. If there was a corpse, it was most likely the master of the Four Lantern Realm.
"Father." Chen Tiexin took a deep breath and shouted to Chen Yuanhai.
Chen Yuanhai's hands trembled slightly. This was not the result he wanted to see, but it was not something he could escape casually.
"Let the servants go and see what's going on." Chen Yuanhai said.
Chen Tiexin immediately said to the servant next to him: "Go pick it up and see what it is."
Several servants went straight into the water, and when they got close to the humanoid, they smelled a foul smell.
"Master, Master, this is a corpse."
"Bring it up." Chen Yuanhai said with a pale face.
The body had been submerged in the water for too long. The body had swollen and would rot when touched. Several servants endured the nausea in their hearts and carried the body back to the shore.
After Chen Yuanhai approached, he was not frightened by the appearance of the corpse. Instead, he asked the servants nearby: "Has any of you seen this man?"
The best person to identify the body is Chen Yanran, but Chen Yuanhai doesn't want Chen Yanran to know about it yet, and with such a terrifying aspect, Chen Yuanhai doesn't want to scare Chen Yanran.
Several servants nearby did not speak, which ruled out the possibility that they knew each other.
Chen Yuanhai continued to ask: "When the Wang and Xie families came to my Chen family's residence, who was present?"
"Sir, the housekeeper should know this. He is the one who received the heads of the Wang and Xie families." A certain servant said.
"Where is the butler? Find him immediately."
After a while, a middle-aged and elderly man ran over panting. When he saw the corpse on the ground, he was frightened by the rotten appearance of the corpse and sat directly on the ground.
"Look, do you know this person?" Chen Yuanhai said to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper was so frightened that he trembled and said, "Master, this matter has nothing to do with me. I didn't kill the person. Please look into it."
Chen Yuanhai glanced at the housekeeper helplessly and said, "If you could kill him, would you still work as a housekeeper in my Chen family? I know you didn't kill him, so I'll let you see what this man looks like. Do you recognize him?"
The butler just took one look and his legs were so frightened that he had no courage to take another look. He shook his head and said, "Master, I don't know. I don't know."
At this time, Chen Tiexin walked up to the housekeeper, grabbed the housekeeper's neck, and said: "Open your eyes and take a good look, or you will go to Huangquan Road to keep him company."
This sentence almost frightened the housekeeper to death, so he had no choice but to open his eyes and look at the body carefully.
Although the appearance of the corpse has been foamed and changed, his former appearance can still be seen through the rough outline.
After seeing that face clearly, the butler's expression became dull.
"This...this, this is not..."
"This is nothing, you should hurry up and say it." Chen Tiexin said impatiently.
"Master, isn't this the master of the Four Lantern Realm brought by the Wang and Xie families? How could he die here?" the housekeeper said in horror. That day, the Wang and Xie families came to the Chen family's residence to cause trouble. The housekeeper personally received him.
He also specially observed the master of the Four Lantern Realm, so the housekeeper remembered his appearance very clearly.
That day, the housekeeper thought that the young lady was going to compromise with the Wang and Xie families. After all, they came with experts.
But later I heard that the Four Lantern Realm masters had disappeared inexplicably, and that the Wang and Xie families had returned without success. At that time, the housekeeper still felt strange, how could a living person disappear for no reason.
It wasn’t until this moment that the housekeeper realized that this was not a disappearance, but that he was dead, and he died in the pond in the backyard!
But in the entire Chen family mansion, who can be the opponent of the master of the Four Lantern Realm, and who has the strength to kill him?
"Hey, Master, what's wrong with you?" The housekeeper suddenly found Chen Tiexin lying limp on the ground and quickly asked with concern.
Chen Tiexin, whose face was as white as paper, had weak limbs and had no strength to even stand, because after confirming the identity of the corpse, it was enough to prove that he had made a huge mistake. He drove a real strong man out of Chen Tiexin.
Family mansion.
For many years, Chen Tiexin traveled around the imperial court in order to find a high-level master and worship him as a disciple to improve his own cultivation. However, such a strong man appeared in the Chen family residence, and he actually followed this person.
Opportunities passed by.
Not only that, the existence of such hatred made Chen Tiexin feel desperate.
"Master, are you okay?" The housekeeper wanted to help Chen Tiexin up, but his strength could not help Chen Tiexin at all.
Chen Yuanhai took a deep breath and said to the housekeeper and servants: "Go and dispose of the body. No one can know about this matter."
