In the early morning of the next day, a terrified scream broke the tranquility of the inn.
Soon after, the town sheriff who received the news came and was furious when he saw his brother-in-law's body with his eyes open. He ordered his police officers to seal off the inn.
All the people who checked into the inn that day were taken to the police station for questioning, including Lin Qiming, Tiffana, and James Howlett. However, the three people who had colluded with each other in advance were not panicked. They insisted that they fell asleep after returning from the tavern after drinking and had no idea what happened downstairs.
At this time, the forensic autopsy technology was not advanced enough. It was only possible to determine that the innkeeper died in the early morning, but it was impossible to determine the exact time. The records confirmed by the three people naturally cleared the suspicion. In addition, the wolf hair found in the wounds and hands of the deceased later, the sheriff's attention was biased to the werewolf as expected.
Although all the people who were questioned verbally promised that the sheriff would return to Kent Town for questioning if he needed to, almost no one would come back after they really left. This murder case was destined to be the werewolf's fault.
After leaving Kent Town, Lin Qiming and the other two rode on horses.
After a day and a night of running, they reunited with Ares in Gary Town.
The eldest brother-in-law, who had received the news through some kind of secret method of the blood clan, changed his attitude and kept praising his brother-in-law.
He drank too much at night and then spoke the truth.
He apologized to Tiffana and Lin Qiming repeatedly, saying that the intelligence given by the clan was wrong and almost killed his sister and brother-in-law.
Fortunately, they were desperate enough to come back alive.
It turned out that the werewolf leader Mutu had participated in the decisive battle with the blood clan 600 years ago. He was a ruthless man who could escape from Archduke Ferdinand. Ares chose this werewolf stronghold for a test because he heard from the intelligence personnel that he was not in Kent Town. He never thought that he almost made a big mistake.
Tiffana was so angry that she beat her brother hard, and pulled Lin Qiming away from the welcoming banquet. James Howlett naturally followed. The three of them ate half full and continued on their way.
There were no more accidents on the way, and the expected werewolf revenge did not appear. Perhaps the guilty Ares eliminated the trouble, or perhaps the sheriff used his power to issue a bounty for exorcism, which caught the werewolves off guard. Anyway, until they returned to Edmonton after more than 20 days of travel, they did not see a werewolf in front of them.
Lin Qiming got off his horse with some excitement and rushed into the small clinic to greet Lin Xianyin.
"Xiao Xian'er, I'm back!"
The little girl who was picking up medicine for the patient screamed, threw the medicine bag on the counter, and rushed over like a young swallow returning to its nest, ready to dive into the arms of the person she had been thinking about day and night.
But Lin Xianyin soon noticed that Tiffany, who appeared behind her, had lost her joy and stared coldly at the beautiful woman who took her"brother's" arm without any hesitation.
""Brother, who is she? Why don't you introduce her to me?"
She stretched out her hands and held Lin Qiming's other hand. The two women's eyes met and sparks flew. The air was filled with the unpleasant smell of gunpowder.
James Howlett, who had not yet entered the clinic, shrank his neck, took back the leg that had already stepped in, led the three horses, and said he was going to feed the horses with grass, and ran away.
"Ahem, Xiaoxian'er, this is a long story."
"Send the patient out first, and we will talk it out in the courtyard. Don't let people stay here, it's so embarrassing, don't you think?"
Lin Qiming coughed a few times and found an excuse to change the subject.
Lin Xianyin let go of his hand with a stern face, like an angry pufferfish, while telling the patient about the taboos of taking medicine, staring at Tiffany with a"death stare".
After sending the patient away, the three returned to the courtyard at the back and entered Lin Qiming's room.
Looking at the two women who were about to fight, he was also quite headache. He had never been a scumbag before or after the time travel, and had no experience in dealing with such a Shura field.
"Xiao Xian'er, your brother almost couldn't come back, thanks to Tiffany who saved me!"
Lin Qiming, who was at his wit's end, decided to use his trump card. Women are all emotional, so he played the emotional card.
He described the series of events that happened after he went to Ottawa, using the style of Spring and Autumn, and emphasized Tiffany's key role in lifting the curse.
When Lin Xianyin heard that it was Tiffany who saved her"brother", she finally softened her attitude and stopped looking cold, but she still pouted and whispered angrily.
"Humph, even if that's the case, but, but she came here first!"
Seeing that he had basically dealt with his childhood sweetheart, Lin Qiming turned to work on Tiffany.
Fortunately, Tiffany had the entry of being faithful to one person, and she was born in a more feudal vampire family, so she was not very disgusted with the strong having multiple women. In addition, she knew very well that her man secretly changed the truth of what happened in Ottawa, and she saw that he didn't want to let herself conflict with the girl in front of her.
So after Lin Qiming finished talking about his experience of relying on Lin Xianyin since childhood, Tiffany wiped her tears and was deeply moved. She took the initiative to take Lin Xianyin's arm and asked about her well-being. After whispering for a while, the two women glared at the man who had just been fighting for it..
After finally eliminating the danger of fire in the backyard, Lin Qiming did not dare to stir up trouble again. As the old saying goes, if you can't afford to provoke someone, you can hide from him. He simply used the excuse of finding James Howlett to run out of the back door of the yard, followed the smell and found Wolverine, who was leading his horse around. The two chatted aimlessly for a while before going back.
When they returned to the yard, it was unknown what Tiffany and Lin Xianyin had whispered to each other. The two women, who were originally at odds with each other, were as close as half-sisters and were busy in the kitchen together.
Seeing Lin Qiming coming back, they were not in a good mood either. They snorted and continued to be busy with their work.
"Hey, they are on the same side now. Forget it, let them be arrogant for a few days!"
He knew that Lin Xianyin was probably really angry, and Tiffany was just pretending. Her real purpose should be to be an undercover agent and help him appease her childhood sweetheart. Sure enough, in the next few days, Lin Xianyin's attitude gradually softened, while Tiffany did the opposite and pretended to be tough, continuing to drag her good sister to a united front.
As a result, Lin Xianyin couldn't hold it anymore, and persuaded Tiffany to give up the cold war. She also brought out the feudal tradition of men in Daxia country having three wives and four concubines as an example, saying that she didn't mind her appearance, but that she was the first to accompany her"brother", but was robbed by others.
So that night, Tiffany forced her good sister to break into Lin Qiming's bedroom.
The next day, James Howlett, who was troubled by the noise and insomnia all night, was almost dumbfounded when he saw the two women walking out of his benefactor's room hand in hand.
He couldn't understand why three wives and four concubines had been separated in just a few days. The relationship between individuals has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the contrast before and after is as different as heaven and earth.
Lin Qiming, who enjoyed the blessing of having many wives, was not idle either. He bought a large piece of land through the stationmaster Dimo Werner who had recovered from his injury.
His current small courtyard was not enough, and he planned to build his own manor on the purchased land. Otherwise, the happy trio would always disturb the little Wolverine next door at night, which would be detrimental to the healthy growth of the child in the long run.
Just when the four people in the small clinic were busy, a team of musketeers who came galloping broke the tranquility of the residential area. They were wearing black riding suits, black top hats and solemn expressions.
When James Howlett saw them, he was suddenly startled and hurried to meet them.
Lin Qiming also noticed the abnormality, and took a few steps forward with the two women. The musketeer at the head of the row turned over and dismounted, bowed to the few people, took out a white envelope, and said in a hoarse voice
"Mr. John Howlett passed away early this morning. I am here on the orders of Mr. Howlett to bring back the young master and deliver a letter to you, Dr. Lin, inviting you to attend the young master's funeral."
James Howlett felt dizzy after hearing this, and his young body swayed a few times and almost fell down.
Although he did not have much affection for his nominal father, and even had some resentment towards John Howlett for running away from home, he was the one who grew up with him since he was a child, and it was impossible for him not to have any feelings for him. Moreover, this bad news might cause extremely serious harm to his mother Elizabeth.
Thinking of this, James Howlett rushed into the stable behind the yard, pulled out a horse, turned over and rode on it, whipping the horse with a whip, and rushed towards the direction of Howlett Manor like a gust of wind.
The musketeers were horrified and quickly jumped on their horses, chasing after the young master without saying goodbye.
"What a twist of fate, I thought John Howlett would be depressed for a while after discovering the affair in advance."
"Who could have thought that the next time I heard his name, I would be invited to attend his funeral?"
