Chapter 101: Stretch Out Your Hand
Liu Sanniang nodded at Wei s.h.i.+lai.
Wei s.h.i.+lai said, “Let’s start with you.”
Liu Sanniang stood up and walked towards the woman. She then sat down beside the person.
The woman looked at Liu Sanniang in amus.e.m.e.nt. “Master, what should I do?”
Liu Sanniang smiled at her. “Just extend your hand.”
The woman smiled and extended her hand, teasing Liu Sanniang. “Master, I am very skilled. You can learn from me.”
After the woman finished speaking, she covered her mouth and chuckled. “Oh, I almost forgot. You can’t get married as a psychic. What a pity!”
In everyone’s understanding, psychics would stay single forever. After all, what they did was different. No one could tolerate living with a woman who could read his mind at all times.
Liu Sanniang remained calm. She grabbed the woman’s hand and released her power. Feeling a force entering her consciousness, the woman stopped smiling.
Liu Sanniang smiled at her. “Relax.”
The woman looked at Liu Sanniang and felt a sense of fear. She wanted to pull her hand away, but she could not use any strength. Her bright smile had disappeared, and her face was pale.
Liu Sanniang read everything in the woman’s mind and said, “Your name is Su Miaomiao. You can sing and dance, and to learn that, you’ve suffered a lot. You’re worthy of being the top courtesan. Your testimony is true. That night, you were tired after practicing dancing and washed up early to sleep. The next day, someone from the government came and told you that Yan Lan was dead.”
Su Miaomiao struggled for a moment, wanting to break free from Liu Sanniang’s grip. Her intuition told her that Liu Sanniang really knew everything about her. She was afraid that Liu Sanniang would reveal her secret.
Liu Sanniang let go, and Su Miaomiao immediately retreated. She touched her wrist that Liu Sanniang had grabbed and pondered.
She was afraid that Liu Sanniang would reveal her secret, but at the same time, she wanted Liu Sanniang to explain it to her.
Liu Sanniang stood up and looked at the woman beside Su Miaomiao. At first, the woman was not worried, but after seeing Su Miaomiao’s reaction, she was scared.
The woman extended her hand and Liu Sanniang grabbed it.
The woman was on guard and looked at Liu Sanniang with wide eyes. However, when Liu Sanniang brfeached her defences, the woman widened her eyes in fear. She struggled and tried to disrupt Liu Sanniang’s power.
Liu Sanniang looked at her and said, “Your name is Yu Zhenzhen. You and Yan Lan have never been on good terms. She’s dead. You said that you were sick and had been resting for a few days. You didn’t lie. You were indeed sick, but you weren’t asleep at that time. You heard a commotion outside and felt like something had happened. You asked your servant girl to go out and take a look. The servant girl told you that Yan Lan was dead. The bawd got a man to bury the dead and clean up the scene. You nodded and told the servant girl that you slept very early that night and didn’t know anything.”
Yu Zhenzhen widened her eyes in fear. She wanted to lie and deny it, but when she looked into Liu Sanniang’s eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to say it. She was about to cry. “I’m not the murderer. I’ve been sick for a few days. I just wanted to avoid trouble.”
Liu Sanniang said, “You are indeed not the murderer.”
When Yu Zhenzhen was worried that Liu Sanniang would reveal her secret, Liu Sanniang let go of her hand. She really meant it when she said she would not disclose anything unrelated to the case.
Yu Zhenzhen quickly retracted her hand and looked at Liu Sanniang curiously with fear.
Liu Sanniang did not look at her again and turned to another woman.
The woman hesitated. She looked at Liu Sanniang but did not extend her hand.
Liu Sanniang said, “Miss, please give me your hand. I won’t say anything unrelated to the case.”
Everyone had secrets in their hearts and did not want others to know about them. Liu Sanniang would not say anything that had nothing to do with this case.
The woman looked at Liu Sanniang and finally extended her hand.
The woman was more guarded than Yu Zhenzhen and Su Miaomiao. Her entire body was tense, and she did not want to be read by Liu Sanniang.
However, Liu Sanniang took down her guard easily. She said, “Your name is Zi Yan. You said that you were drunk that night and slept until dawn. You didn’t lie. You were indeed drunk. When you woke up, it was already dawn. You didn’t know that Yan Lan was dead until the officials came.”
After saying that, Liu Sanniang let go of her hand. Zi Yan heaved a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Liu Sanniang would go back on her word and continue to say something else.
Fortunately, Liu Sanniang did not mention anything.
It was precisely because she did not say anything that Yu Zhenzhen, Miaomiao, and Zi Yan were even more puzzled. They wanted to know who killed Yan Lan too.
The bawd looked at Liu Sanniang and cleared her throat. “I think you can skip me. I am the boss of all the girls in the brothel. There are many who are disobedient. I have plenty of ways to deal with them. There’s no need to kill them. Besides, if they die, who will make money for me?”
The bawd looked at Yu Zhenzhen, Su Miaomiao, and the others. “Those men drugged you with sweet words. No matter what I tell you, you won’t listen. Do you think I’ll harm you? They just come to the brothel to have fun. After having fun, they’ll forget about you. You can’t take what men say seriously.”
“Those men can kill you and harm your body, but I won’t. Only when you are healthy will I be happy, so I definitely won’t kill you.”
After the bawd finished speaking, she sighed deeply. She was a bawd, so her girls’ health was naturally the most important to her. If they were disobedient, they would be taught a lesson and learn to fall in line. There was no need to take their lives.
Wei s.h.i.+lai smacked the table. “Since you have a clear conscience, what are you afraid of? Miss Liu is a master I hired to cooperate with the investigation. Stop talking nonsense unless you are the murderer.”
The bawd’s expression changed. “Sir, I’m innocent. I just don’t think it’s necessary. What am I afraid of? I didn’t kill anyone.”
After saying that, she looked at Liu Sanniang fiercely, as if warning her. “If you spout nonsense, you’re dead.”
Liu Sanniang remained calm. When the bawd brought out her hand, Liu Sanniang grabbed it.
The bawd looked at Liu Sanniang and tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart. She had never known that being possessed by a psychic would feel like this. It was as if she had become a piece of blank paper unfolding in front of Liu Sanniang.
