The person who kills Guihai Bailian doesn't necessarily have to be stronger than him; they can also be someone he doesn't guard against.
Chen Yan continued, "Inside the inn, Guihai Bailian, faced with the persuasion of his three friends, was overcome by demonic energy and launched an attack on them."
The three members of Qilinzi struggled to hold on, but were no match for them at all.
Just as all three of them were injured... Lu Huanong appeared.
She was still so gentle, and the way she looked at Guihai Bailian was still full of love.
Guihai Bailian was completely unprepared for her.
But just as Lu Huanong approached Guihai Bailian, a short knife that could cut through iron like mud slipped from her sleeve.
The dagger easily pierced Guihai Bailian's heart.
Guihai Bailian was stunned, blood flowing from his chest, staring blankly at his beloved wife.
Lu Huanong was in tears as she watched helplessly as her beloved husband fell into a pool of blood.
She didn't want to kill Guihai Bailian.
But just as you said, Zhang Jinjiu, Lu Huanong is a kind and sensible woman.
She knew that if she didn't kill Guihai Bailian, many more innocent people would die, so she had no choice but to take action herself…
After hearing this story...
Zhang Jinjiu breaks down again!
It seems I really did investigate the wrong thing.
Yes, Qilinzi and his two companions could not kill Guihai Bailian, who had fallen into demonic possession.
Lu Huanong possesses the spirit of a heroine. Knowing that her husband has fallen into demonic possession and is slaughtering all living beings, although she is grieving, she will still kill Guihai Bailian. Only she has the ability to kill Guihai Bailian!
The person who killed Guihai Bailian was indeed Lu Huanong!
what!
I'm wrong!
I, Zhang Jinjiu, the greatest detective of the Ming Dynasty, have met my end here today.
It was this young man in his early twenties who suffered the most.
However, I accept my defeat wholeheartedly. The younger generation surpasses the older; he is indeed much stronger than me.
For a moment, Zhang Jinjiu felt frustrated, shocked, and admiring all at once.
All sorts of complex emotions ultimately turned into a sigh.
After clasping his hands in a fist salute to Chen Yan, he loudly proclaimed, "Master Chen, I am convinced! From now on, I will be the second-best detective of the Ming Dynasty. The title of the best detective of the Ming Dynasty belongs to you, and only you are worthy of this title!"
The onlookers erupted in discussions and cheers.
"Master Chen is truly amazing! His predictions are always accurate, and his omniscience is no joke. He can know all the secrets of the world without even leaving his house!"
"Hey, even Zhang Jinjiu, the number one detective of the Ming Dynasty, has admitted defeat and voluntarily demoted to number two. At least he has some self-awareness."
“Zhang Jinjiu is quite responsible; when he addresses Manager Chen, he uses the respectful title of ‘Immortal Master’.”
Everyone at Tongfu Inn was also very excited.
They were all worried for Chen Yan when Zhang Jinjiu presented witnesses and physical evidence.
Unexpectedly, things took a complete 180-degree turn, and an unimaginable reversal occurred!
Wanwan and Wuqing were also very excited, their beautiful eyes sparkling as they looked at Chen Yan.
This is their manager, a slightly mischievous, somewhat lazy, yet incredibly fascinating individual...
"I'm not interested in the title of 'Great Ming Dynasty's Number One Detective.' Give it to whoever wants it."
Chen Yan smiled and waved to Zhang Jinjiu.
All he wanted was to use Zhang Jinjiu as a stepping stone to boost his own fame.
As for the title of "Great Ming Dynasty's Number One Detective," it was not uncommon.
This title is hundreds or thousands of miles inferior to his title of "Immortal Master".
"Master Chen's generosity is truly admirable."
Zhang Jinjiu looked admiring and clasped his hands in a fist salute.
Chen Yan ignored him.
Turning to look at Guihai Yidao, he slowly said, "Do you know what weapon your mother used when she killed your father?"
Guihai Yidao was still in a state of shock and confusion, and shook his head upon hearing this.
Chen Yan said indifferently, "The short knife your mother used to kill your father was the very one your father forged himself from black iron and gave to your mother for self-defense."
Guihai Yidao's pupils contracted sharply, and he stared blankly!
I recall the heartwarming scene from my memory when my father, Guihai Bailian, presented my mother with the Lu Huanong treasured sword.
Guihai Bailian gifted Lu Huanong the Xuan Tie short sword because he was worried that she might encounter danger.
Little did she know, her mother would use this dagger, imbued with love, to kill her father, who had given her the knife.
Thinking of this,
Gui Hai stood there stunned, his usually calm mind now like mush, unable to think!
The murderer he had been searching for all along!
The murderer who killed her revered father was actually her own mother... Lu Huanong!
There's a saying: "I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd, but suddenly when I turned around, I found him where the lights were dim."
This phrase is used to describe the relationship between a man and a woman.
But it couldn't be more fitting to describe Guihai Yidao at this moment.
He had been searching for the killer for years, only to find that the killer had been right beside him all along...
Moreover, the murder weapon the mother used to kill the father was one that the father had made and given to her...
No! This isn't real!
You are lying!
You lied to me!
My mother loved my father so much, how could she kill him!
I'm still using the black iron short sword that my father personally crafted and gifted to me!
I do not accept this result!
I won't accept it!!
Guihai Yidao clutched his head and roared loudly.
My mind completely collapsed, resulting in a double blow and generating 3,000 collapse points!
"One cut, don't do this."
Shangguan Haitang looked heartbroken and reached out to take his hand to comfort him.
"Do not touch me!"
Unexpectedly, Gui Haiyi, who had always been very gentle with her, suddenly became a different person. He forcefully slapped Shangguan Haitang's hand away, his eyes filled with tears, his face filled with sorrow, and a crimson glint appeared in his pupils.
"One Slash! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me! It's me, Haitang! Don't you recognize me?!"
Shangguan Haitang was both surprised and frightened, and said urgently.
Guihai Yidao ignored him, staring coldly at Chen Yan with crazed eyes, and shouted, "Since you say that my mother killed my father!"
Then let me ask you, what about the Qilin Child that Zhang Jinjiu obtained, and the confession with Jian Jingfeng and Liao Kong's fingerprints on it?!
If they aren't the murderers, why did they confess?
Chen Yan smiled: "The reasons are simple, there are three."

First, they were sworn brothers of Guihai Bailian, and they didn't want the fact that Guihai Bailian had fallen into demonic possession after his death to be known by the martial arts world, which would damage his reputation as a chivalrous man. So they wanted to handle the matter as discreetly as possible.
Secondly, your mother killed your father with great difficulty back then, and they were indebted to her for saving her life. They confessed to being the murderers in order to protect and repay your mother.
Thirdly, it's for you...":
"For me?!"
Guihai Yidao was taken aback.
Chen Yan nodded: "You are the son of their old friend and the son of their savior. They don't want you to be unable to bear knowing the truth about your father's death and that your father was killed by your mother."
Guihai Yidao was shocked and took two steps back.
It felt as if all the strength in my body had been drained away, and I could only stand up by leaning against the wall.
"It turns out that everyone was deceiving me and protecting me."
It's laughable that all these years he's acted like a fool, constantly clamoring for revenge.
