The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine-Chapter 620: The Original Murderer
Chapter 620 -620: The Original Murderer
The five individuals in the family portrait sneered and cursed maliciously at Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong, however, just gave a light smile, casually pulling out a talisman from his canvas bag.
At that moment, a ray of light seemed to shine into the old western-style building, illuminating the oil painting. All at once, the images on the canvas underwent a bizarre transformation, changing into animated frames that flashed by in a spectacular spectacle.
The scene unfolded in a spacious and grand living room. It seemed to be the living room of this very house.
A man in his fifties sat on the couch, reading a newspaper.

Two young girls were selecting new clothes, seemingly getting ready for a ball.
The man’s wife was busy in the kitchen.
A teenage boy, about seventeen or eighteen, sat drooling on the floor, innocently playing with toys while laughing foolishly at the man. “Dad~~ Dad~~ I heard my cousin say that real men should get married. When can I get married? Can I have a baby once I get married?”

The man put down his newspaper, his face full of indulgence. “Jiawei, you want to get married?”
“Hehehe~~~” The boy laughed in an idiotic manner, his mouth stretching into a comical grin.
“Jiawei? Oh…this idiot is the groom ‘Lai Jiawei’ on Miao Erfang’s ghost marriage invitation.” Huang Xiaolong thought to himself before continuing to watch impassively.
These scenes were fragments of the five family members’ past lives.
It seemed that the malevolent spirit intentionally showed this to Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong too, was intrigued.
“Ah~~ Jiawei…who…who would marry you with your condition? Ah…” In the kitchen, the man’s wife, a woman in her fifties, sighed helplessly and resentfully. “Dear, Jiawei’s condition is worsening… he’s our family’s disgrace! People are talking behind our backs… if they knew he wants to get married, they’d ridicule us to no end. My dear, you are a man of respect and can’t be dragged down by Jiawei… I think maybe we should–”
While she was speaking, a murderous intent surfaced in her eyes.
She actually harbored killing thoughts towards her fool of a son!
‘Interesting, indeed a woman’s heart is full of poison.’ Huang Xiaolong thought, amused.
The two daughters who were choosing dresses began to complain.
The older one indignantly said, “Dad~~ look at you! All these years you’ve spent so much money trying to treat Jiawei… the number of new clothes my sister and I get each year is diminishing. Jiawei is really a burden!”
The younger one’s face was filled with resentment. “Dad, we should just lock Jiawei up and stop him from embarrassing us in public!”
“Shut up, all of you!” The man turned furious, his face darkening. “You women, what do you know? The continuation of our family lineage relies on Jiawei!”
The man clearly doted greatly on his foolish son.
He even threatened, “If anyone dares to say another word, don’t blame me for being rude!”
“Ah, ah, ah~~” The fool, Lai Jiawei, suddenly covered his ears and screamed. “Stop talking! My head hurts! I don’t want to hear these words anymore!”
The idiot boy’s face contorted into a devilish expression, his eyes glinting wildly like a beast’s, looking like he could attack and consume someone at any moment.
This was a display of extreme psychosis and antisocial behavior!
At that moment, the scene paused.
A bone-chilling voice echoed in the first-floor hall, “So you’re a Daoist priest, huh? Welcome to our home…hehehe~~”
The voice belonged to the head of the household, the middle-aged man from the earlier scene.
“Make yourself at home. Since you’re here, you’ll have to play a game with us. The game is simple—it’s a guessing game. To tell you the truth, we are all dead. Our family of five was wiped out. Tragic, truly tragic… But it wasn’t outsiders who slaughtered us, it was…hehehe~~one of us.”
“Now, I’d like you to guess who the murderer was. Was it me, my wife, my elder daughter, my younger daughter, or my young son?”
“If you guess incorrectly, I’m afraid that our family will eat you alive~~~”
“Haha…” Huang Xiaolong burst into laughter. “This is too fun… I’ve never met vengeful spirits who want to play guessing games with me… it’s hilarious…”
He paused and then shook his head. “Fine, it’s amusing, so I’ll play along once. From what I’ve gathered from your memories, each member of your family is violent. You brought a mentally challenged son into this world. Your wife and two daughters wanted to kill him. While you, in order to protect this idiotic son, are even willing to kill your wife and daughters.”
“You could say that each family member is eccentric, each one harboring a desire to kill.” Huang Xiaolong stated calmly. “Typically, the one who commits murder turns into a vengeful spirit, and becomes the most vicious ghost.”
“So, I’ll guess that the tragedy that wiped out your entire family was caused by your idiotic son – Lai Jiawei. From what I’ve seen, among your family of five, the person with the greatest murderous intent, the most deranged, happens to be the idiot. Additionally, if he wasn’t the original murderer, then you wouldn’t have orchestrated such a grand ghost marriage for him. You’ve clearly found a bride for him—Miao Erfang, but in the past, you probably arranged several other ghost marriages for Jiawei, right? By now, I assume countless girls have died at your hands.”
Li Xiu’e, Sister Qiao, and Doudou were all willing to help take care of the young children.
However, Little Baby only clung to her; if he left her, he would cry heartbreakingly with breathlessness, causing others to feel pity.
Feeling helpless, Su Qingluo could only hold Little Baby and enter her guest room.
Just as she sat down on the bed to rest, his little face turned red. He started to cry, and then a warm liquid soaked her front.
“Mom, the little brother wet me.”
The soft and tender voice, filled with immense grievances, echoed through the inn’s windows.
“What’s wrong?”
Su Hu and Li Xiu’e hurried over from the neighboring guest room upon hearing the cries. Seeing their daughter’s pouting mouth and disheartened expression, they couldn’t help but laugh.
From then on, the anxiety and fright experienced on the road dissipated because of this little episode, and their previous panic was gone.

Li Xiu’e went downstairs and asked the inn’s waiters for a bathtub and hot water to bathe the two children.
Little Baby seemed to understand he had done something wrong. His cheeks were flushed with shame, and his tearful eyelashes fluttered, unable to meet his sister’s eyes.
“Good baby, get clean, and then Sister will take you downstairs to eat something delicious.”
Li Xiu’e prepared the bathwater and quickly undressed the little one. She put him in the tub and coaxed him to take a bath.
Su Qingluo squatted in front of the tub, helping her mother pour water.
Seeing Little Baby wanting to cry again as he left her embrace, she pinched his little nose, laughed, and talked to him, diverting his attention.
“Good baby, tell Sister your name.”
“Xuan’er.”
Little Baby, with tear-filled eyes, pitifully stretched out his little arms, “Hug me, Sister.”
“After you take a bath and smell nice, Sister will hug you.”
Su Qingluo pointed at her wet clothes and intentionally made a disgusted expression, “Smelly, not nice to smell.”
“Wu wu.”
Little Baby understood and thought that his sister disliked him. His mouth puckered, and tears flowed again.
“Ah, why are you crying again?”
Helpless, Su Qingluo removed her wet, dirty clothes, stepped into the tub, and bathed with him.
Both children were of innocent age; Li Xiu’e saw nothing wrong with it. She poured water quicker, and soon both children were clean.
She dried them off and held both little ones in bed. Little Baby had no spare clothes, but luckily Su Qingluo was young, so her clothes were suitable.
Li Xiu’e dressed Little Baby in his sister’s pink floral clothes, revealing his white and tender little arms and legs. Apart from his exceptionally eye-catching cheeks, at first glance, there wasn’t much difference between him and a rural child.
Sister’s clothes smelled just as sweet as hers.
Little Baby was particularly happy wearing his sister’s clothes, without any shyness in wearing a girl’s clothes. Seeing that his sister had also dressed, he stuck to her, reaching out his little arms for a hug.
“Xuan’er, be good. If you want to pee, just tell Sister; don’t hold it back. If you hold it for too long, your belly will hurt.”
As she held Little Baby, Su Qingluo gently poked his little belly, reminding him earnestly—she didn’t want to be wet again.
“Belly hurts.”
As Little Baby felt her tender little finger poke his belly, his little body shuddered with pain, and he pitifully complained.
Huang Xiaolong paced up the stairs to the second floor.
Suddenly!
A large group of ghost brides in red gowns rushed towards Huang Xiaolong with blood-curdling shrieks!
They were all wearing embroidered bridal attires. With their blood-soaked ghostly eyes and faces looking as if they have been run over by a car, they glared at Huang Xiaolong with intense resentment, as if they wanted to tear him to pieces and swallow him whole!
