Chapter 697: Demonic Qi_1
"Alright, no more crying, let’s first figure out what’s going on here." Ye Luo patted Qin Yuru on the shoulder and walked up to a group of police officers.
"What caused this fire? Where are the people from the Qin Family Manor?"
"And who might you be?" The police officers looked at Ye Luo with a startled expression.
"I am Qin Yuru, the head of the Qin Family, please trouble yourselves to tell me what exactly happened. How did the Qin Family Manor catch fire, and where are the people inside?" Qin Yuru tried to maintain her composure as she spoke to the police officers.
"Oh, so it’s Miss Qin!" Upon realizing the woman in front of them was the helmswoman of the Qin Group, the current head of the Qin Family, the police officers’ demeanor suddenly changed. However, they all cast discreet glances at Ye Luo, wondering if this man was the one who had cuckolded Ji Family’s young master.
"Miss Qin, based on our preliminary investigation at the scene, the fire at the Qin residence appears to have been deliberately set. As for the inhabitants of the Qin Family, not a single one has been spared; they all perished in this fire."
A police chief said gravely as he looked at Qin Yuru, sighing inwardly at the thought that the Qin Family, one of the five great families of Capital City, could be wiped out in such a fire; it was truly hard to believe.
Upon hearing that everyone from the Qin Family had died, Qin Yuru’s body trembled, nearly losing her balance, if not for Ye Luo’s timely support.
Qin Yuru’s eyes, red with tears, looked at the ruins of the Qin Family Manor, her face filled with sorrow and pain.
"Why? Why did this happen?" Qin Yuru murmured to herself, tears glittering in her eyes, emitting an aura of bleak desolation.
Ye Luo furrowed his brows tightly, stepped into the ruins of the Qin Family Manor, activated his Clairvoyant Eye, and scanned the surroundings. Soon, he found bloodstains in some areas and noticed something unusual about several Qin Family corpses that had not been completely consumed by the fire.
These people had not died from the fire—because if they had been burnt to death, they would have inhaled a significant amount of dust in their mouths and noses, but these bodies had not. Moreover, Ye Luo discovered several inconspicuous knife wounds on their bodies, which though subtle, did not escape his notice.
