Chapter 40 Open the coffin

Lin Guangling obviously also understood that Magistrate Xie's visit was unkind. After a moment of silence, he had no choice but to compromise. After all, if he continued to stop it, it would be too obvious to be fishy!
For now, the only option is to cut off the tail to survive!
After all, he didn’t inject the poison!
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Guangling looked at Magistrate Xie with a sneer, his eyes sinister, and made a gesture of invitation.

"In that case, I have nothing to say. Sir, please go ahead!"

Magistrate Xie then showed a victorious smile and waved his hand to order all the government officials to take action.

More than a dozen young and strong government officials kept digging, and the coffin was quickly exposed.

Zuo Zuo, a sixty-year-old man, and two young men who looked like apprentices, had already made preparations.

As soon as the coffin was opened, he led the people down to the pit quickly and looked through it professionally.

Lin Susu walked slowly to the tombstone and knelt down. After prostrating on the ground, she opened her mouth with red eyes.

"Mom and dad, please forgive my daughter for being unfilial and disturbing my parents' peace. It's just that my parents' deaths are suspicious, and my daughter really can't bear the murderer to go unpunished! I hope my parents won't be blamed."

"Miss Lin's filial piety must be understood by your parents."

Magistrate Xie stroked his beard to comfort him.

Lin Susu said nothing, but stretched out her blood-covered hand to touch the tombstone.

There were a few scattered black butterflies dancing around her body, landing on her arms, in her hair, and some on the corners of her lips, which gave her a lingering feeling.

Lin Susu looked at the familiar Forbidden Butterfly in her hand, and her eyes passed through the layers of people and landed on the simple and low-key carriage.

It was a travel tool specially prepared by Magistrate Xie for Zhu Yan so that he would not be disturbed by other people.

Behind the thin curtain, the young man sat silently, but more and more forbidden butterflies landed on the top of the carriage, flying among the crowd, like petals blown by the wind, spreading overwhelmingly, grand and beautiful.

Some children happily grabbed one and showed it off to their adults, their brows and eyes full of joy.

"Be careful!"

Lin Susu's words were stuck in her throat, and she was confused.

The child was not harmed!
Doesn't the original book say that the Forbidden Butterfly is the incarnation of the King Gu, and if it touches it, it will die, and it is extremely poisonous?
Could it be that she had misunderstood all along?

"System! What's going on here?"

Lin Susu couldn't help shouting.

It took a while before the system responded.

"The setting of forbidden butterfly poison still exists, and I don't know what went wrong with this system!"

There were more and more butterflies, and the crowd became more and more excited. People jumped to catch the butterflies, and the scene was filled with laughter and laughter.

Lin Susu couldn't help but get angry. She pushed away the crowd with red eyes, walked straight to the carriage, and opened the curtain.

"Zhu Yan! My father and mother are opening the coffin today. If I have offended you in the past, I apologize to you! Can I ask you not to cause trouble at this time!"

Zhu Yan stared at her red eyes and slowly tightened his fists.

He wanted to show her indifference or sarcasm as usual and say bad words to her, but the words were stuck on his lips and he couldn't come out.

He even wanted to explain to her for a moment!

He himself didn't know why, but when he saw her caressing the tombstone alone, so many forbidden butterflies suddenly appeared, and he couldn't control them.

This was the first time that Lin Susu had been so vulnerable in front of him. He should have watched all this happily and laughed at her weakness, but he felt as if there was a big hole in his heart, and a cool breeze was pouring in, empty. Swinging and cold.

Zhu Yan pursed his lips tightly, and finally looked at Lin Susu with cold eyes, and said in a stiff tone, "There is just something wrong with my skills. How do you think you have so much face that you deserve to be dealt with by me!"

Lin Susu's words were filled with cold sarcasm. Lin Susu had a look of disbelief. She scratched Zhu Yan from head to toe with the sharp knife in her eyes, and then she angrily lowered the curtain and said, "It's best!"

The crowd's attention was all attracted by the butterfly, and no one knew that Lin Susu had walked by the carriage.Not long after, the butterflies seemed to be summoned, and like an inverted waterfall, they flew far into the sky and disappeared.

Everyone's attention turned to the autopsy.

Wu Zuo came over with his apprentice and began to report the results.

"...The bones all over the body are black, it is indeed caused by poisoning!"

The crowd booed.

Magistrate Xie turned his gaze to Lin Guangling and smiled meaningfully.

"Since there is indeed something fishy about the death of Mr. and Mrs. Lin, and Miss Lin has sued the Lin family for murder, will President Lin come with me?"

Lin Guangling also had a fake smile like an old fox, "The bones can only prove that my nephew and his wife died unexpectedly, but what evidence can prove that they have anything to do with the Lin family? Mr. Xie should wait until the evidence is conclusive before he shows off his authority!"

Of course, Magistrate Xie knew that no one could be convicted based on the bones alone. He just wanted to kill Lin Guangling's majesty.

"Although there is no evidence, Miss Lin is suing the Lin family and the suspect should be placed under house arrest according to law. President Lin will not make it difficult for me, right?"

Magistrate Xie smiled amiably, but his words contained a hint of sinister pity.

Lin Guangling's face started to turn green, he sneered and said through his teeth, "Thank you, Prefect, for being so selfless today! Don't regret it in the future!"

After that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left angrily with everyone in the Lin family.

Magistrate Xie hurriedly ordered the arrester to lead a group of government officials to follow him, then turned to Lin Susu and smiled.

"I don't think Miss Lin is a reckless person. She came to report to the police so rashly. But are there any clues to solve the case?"

Lin Susu smiled lightly, "Your Excellency, you are wise. The women of the people came to play the drums after they noticed some traces of the murderer. All you need to do is spread the word and say that Patriarch Lin killed his relatives righteously and is ready to hand over the murderer!"

After a pause, the smile on her lips deepened, and she said in a low voice, "Someone will come to your door!"

Magistrate Xie stroked his beard and nodded to Lin Susu with a deep smile, "What a great move to invite you into the urn! Miss Lin is very smart and must have carefully laid out the plan. I am just lazy for a while and wait for good news!"

Lin Susu bowed and said, "Your Majesty is upright and not afraid of power. It is true that the sky is clear in this world. The daughter of the people is just a little scheming and does not deserve your praise!"

Who doesn't like flattery? Magistrate Xie put his hands behind his hands and laughed, "You are quite an interesting woman!"

The sound of the carriage rolling was heard, and Magistrate Xie's laughter suddenly stopped. He calmed down, trotted to the side of the carriage with his hands clasped, and walked forward slowly.

"I respectfully see your Highness off. I will send someone to escort His Highness back to your home."

The eunuch who was driving the horse smiled politely at Magistrate Xie, whipped his whip, and the carriage moved forward against the light. Under the setting sun, the shadow was stretched long.

Before I knew it, a day had passed.

Magistrate Xie also ordered people to start the finishing work.

The crowd dispersed quickly, declining Magistrate Xie's invitation, and soon only Lin Susu was left in the entire cemetery. Although the medicine in her system was very powerful, she lost a lot of blood after all, and she actually felt cold in the hot summer.

She closed her eyes and leaned against the tombstone, the silence around her was overwhelming.

Before the apocalypse, Lin Susu was an orphan. She worked hard for several years as an adult. Until the zombies broke out and she awakened her lightning powers, she became famous in the apocalypse with her lonesome courage.

Looking back on these three lives, it was only in the second life that she truly enjoyed family affection. She probably had the fate of a lonely star.

"Lulu..."

Lin Susu slowly opened her eyes. The carriage that had left for a long time was slowly approaching against the twilight.
